He ordered the division to he\nproceeded with, whereupon several\nmembers of tiie Tory party refused to\nI*-ave tiieir seat;*. A few seconds later\nwar was declared by a Conservative\nseizing an Irish member by the coat-\ncollar, and within a short tim*3 there\nwas a regular free right in the House,\nin which Colonel Saunderson was\nrendered hor.-. de combat alter he had\nscientifically \"floored\" one or two ol\nthe \"enemy.\" John Burns, it is said,\nhelped to pull the combatants asunder until the arrival of the Speaker\nput nn end to the unseemly proceedings.\nCol, Saunderson took part in\nmany disputes at Westminster. He\nfell out with Mr. William Redmond\none, duy. and it looked us if the pair\nwould settle their differences with\nblows. The Colonel, it appeared, had\ncommented very strongly on Irish\nviolence, and Mr. Redmond took each\nand several of the comments as a\npersonal insult, suggesting that the\nredoubtable colonel should meet him\nin the lobby after the sitting. The\nSpeaker, becoming aware uf this, sent\nu note to the chief of police at St.\nStephen's asking him to tuke up i\nposition In the lobby and prevent *i\nTight between the hon. members. The\nexpected, however, did not happen,\nfor when Mr. Redmond and the\nColonel met in the lobby they calmly\ntalked matters over, and finally\nwished each other a cheery \"Good\nday.\"\nSome years hack, when the Hous\"\nhappened to be in committee, the\nIrish mouthers refused to go into the\nlobbies for division. The chairman\nsent for the Speaker, and thut gentle\nmau promptly \"named\" the offend\ners, nnd their suspension was moved\nand curried, The Irishmen refused\nto budge an inch until a bodv ol\npolice walked Into the House. Even\nthen it waa as much as the constable},\ncould do to \"move thern on.\" As a\nmutter of fact, the police and the\nIrish members had a regular fight\nbefore the iortner conquered and car-\nried the latter bodily out of the\nHouse.\nDuring the debute on emancipation\nin the Commons, Mr. Brougham, afterwards Lord Brougham, turned\ntowards Mr. George Canning and\nbitterly exclaimed. \"You have ex\nbibited the most incredible specimen\nof monstrous truckling for the pur\npose of obtaining office that the\nwhole history of political lerglversa\ntlon could furnish.\" Cunning replied,\nvery quietly, \"It is a lie!\" A deathly\nquiet retgnQd in the House bjr som-\nminutes, ant] one could have heard it\npin drop.

L. Sibley, ol Montreal, who\nhas recently returned from a tour\nof the Eastern States where he wrote\na series of articles for the Montreal\nStar on \"Deserted Farms in the\nUnited States,\" says in referring to\nReciprocity :\u2014\nDo the Canadian farmers imagine\nthat they can invada tlie markets ol\nthe United States and succeed where\nso many American farmers fail? If\nso, let them make a survey of farming conditions east of tlie Mississippi\nin the United Slakes. If there were\nany virtue iu this cry of free access\nto a market at ninety millions of people, or it the United States had even\nbegun to. have reached Its limit of\nproduction, surely these farmers\nwould at least have begun to feet\nthe benefit of it. Kxuctly the reverse\nis the case.\nThe United States census reports of\nthe 20-year period from 1880 to 1000\nshow that in that time no fewer thun\n15,144 farms in New Kngland went\nout of existence. Hint there were\n17,000 less farmers in these Stales\nat the end ol the period than at the\nbeginning, and tlmt some S.000.000\nacres of lankl that were in cultivation\nin 1880 weut out of tillage and cultivation.\nAnd thanks to the trusts the profit, nf the fanners in the great markets now to he placed open to Ihe\npeople of Canada are ao hiiiiiII that\nthe decliiac ol funning lu New Kngland is sdll progressing despite free\nncmis lu the market of ninety millions of people. Lust your\u2014the yenr\nof their census\u2014thore were in New\nKngland 187,418 fnrins, which is 'i'.i\nless per cent, than the numher ut\ntlte census ol 1000. The total acre,\nage of these farms in 1910 was 10.-\n174,000 ueres, nnd in the acreage\nthere had been in tlie lust ten years\na dwrense of 4.1 per cent. Of this\ntotal acreage not quite one-half, or\nto be exact, 7,942,000 acres, was improved land.\nHere are some of the prices nf\nfarms actuully on offer ut this moment iu the New Kngland States:\nIn the town (or, ns we call it, Uie\ntownship) of Retliel, Windsor County, Vermont, a farm of 46 acres,\n$700; another ot 00 acres, $1,300;\nanother of .'W0 ncres, $2,000. In the\ntownship of Brattlehoro, VL, ISO\nacrea, $1,000; 100 acres, $800; at\nChester Depot, Ilut'iind County, 105\nacres, $2,000; another of 280 ncres\nfur $2,900; annther of 260 ncres for\n$1,0(10; another nf 22t> acres for $1,.100\nund another of l.'lll acres for $2,1X10.\nWhat, then, is the matterf The\ntrouble in that thin market into\nwhich the Ciinniliun fanner is to hn\ninvited to try his luck, la in no need\nnf Cauadiau produce. The trouble is\nthat the United States, with its great\nrange of territory nnd its climate,\nproduces a vast surplus of all kinds\nnt agricultural products, and these\nproducts are ninnipiiluteil by the food\ndistributing tiusts Ui the disadvantage of many nf the producers.

The rocks of the district were\ncertainly not oil-producing, and so\nguve no indication as to the probable\nlocality of the seepage, and oil was\nonly located Ity the odor. The spring\nIb located In the brush, about a quarter uf a mile from the trail, and ut\nI tlie base of the mountain to the\n! north of tbe vnlley, and near a small\nlake and marsh, which lie at an ele-\nI elevation of some 200 feet abov? the\nstream, and some 4,400 feet above\n]the sea. The ground to the north of\nI this lake 'is marshy, ami full uf\nsprings of water which go to form\n! the hike. About 100 yards from the\n[base o! thr mountains, mi a knull\n! higher than its Immediate Burround*\n\u25a0 IngB, there is issuing a good sized\nspring of water, and beside this\nspring were found several pools covered with thick, dark green oil.

The oil\nbas accumulated here in several pools\nwhich cover an area ol B0 feet in diameter, but, as far as could be deter\nmined, actually raise within a rail- j\nlus of t> or S feet, the remaining j\npools being formed by overflows.

In Montana,\nboring haa been done to a considerable extent, it is reported to depths\nol 1,200 feet without finding oil.\nWhether there is oil in quantity to\nbe obtained by boring, there is little\nevidence; the seepage at present is\ntrifling, but the geological structure\neeems suitable for the retention ol oil\nit produced In quantity. H it does\nso exist it must in all probability be\nat a considerable depth possibly over\n3,000 feet.\ntn conclusion, we would say, that\nthere is seeping ol oil in three or\nmore places, that the existence ,\u00bbf oil\nunder ground is quite possible,\nthough problematic; that if such\nbody of oil does OCCUI it can only he\ndemonstrated by boring Ln all pro\nliability to a considerable depth and\nat high cost.\nSummer Fallow\nfarmer ol South LOnst\nwbo bas at bund plenty of\nwater tor irrigation, this subject, iu\ntbe estimation of the wnter is not so\nImportant, as it is to those who live\nand farm where the summer diuiighU\nare prevalent.\nThe dry farmer should have tils\nstubble disked as soon after harvest\nus possible, In order to loosen up\nthe surface soil, cover weeds aud prevent evapo-taioii.

Conversations\nhad subsequently with prospectors of\nundoubted reliability, would indicate\nthat the amount of oil issuing varies\n| with the season, and with different\n[seasons, probably being influenced by\nwater seeming to bring the oil with\n| it. As far as could be noted, there\nI are no warm Bprings in the district,\nall being very cold, and very clear,\nhaving no mineral taste or smell.\nThe oil rises with the water, as already said, on a knoll. It is not a\nquestion of seepage out of any surface\nmaterial, but of a spring coming up\nfrom the foundation underlying the\nsurface deposit and carrying oil. The\nimmediate locality is surrounded on\nthe surface by gravel wash, and il\nlateral flow existed it should he to\nthe lowest level, which is at the\ncreek bed.\nThe place at which the oil is found\nts at tbe top of an anticlinal in the\nformation, that is to aay, at the\nhighest point in the bedding of the\nrocks, the axis of the anticlinal\ncrossing the creek in a north western\ndirection. From this point the beds\ndi)) up the creek to the north east,\nfor about three miles, at tirst at a\nvery flat angle, but gradually increasing until the dip reaches about\n35 degrees. At this point a fault occurs with, to the east, a different dip\nto the rocks, while further up the\ncreek this is followed by other faults,\nhence it may he said that three miles\nabove the \"spring\" is the limit in\nthat direction of this possible field\nof accumulation.\nTo the south west, that ia, towards\nthe valley of the Flathead, the bedB\ndip at a very flat angle, probably\nnot exceeding 10 degrees, and apparently flattening out aa they arc\nlost to right under the gravel and\nsurface wash of the Flathead depression. In this depression no signs of\nsolid formation can be seen, with the\nexception possibly, of two or throe\nplaces In the bottom of the rtver\n(and these being covered with water\ncould nnt be examined) where there\nteams to be a bed of yellowish clay\n\u25a0bate lying flat and which appears to\nbo \"In place\" as n primary deposit.\nOn Kis|i-t>-nnh-tm creek, at a point\nwhere oil is reported, a similar anti-\nclinal fold occurs, but with the axis\nrunning nearly north east and south\nwast, or with the course of the creek\nthe bed dipping nil at an angle to tbe\nnortli west and south east into the\nadjoining mountains.\nIu neither of these nutiulinals ia\n(here nny evidence of a break, nnd\nH is quite possible that below the\nfaults referred to the overlying bedB\nare unbroken and Continuous to the\nsouth west over the whole area of\nthe Flathead depression, for u dis-\ntance ol 10 or i'i Inches north of the\nInternational boundary line.\nTho two springs described are evidently fit, thc ridge nf the Anticlinal\nfold nud uie undoubtedly from the\nsame 'uea uf accumulation) the one\nresulting from n fractional distila\ntlon \"lily. If the oil should have\nbeen generated, as Dr, OriWHon mig-\ngests \"In consequence of heat at\nconsiderable depth in the earth's\nrinnt. acting upon the fixed hydro*\ncarbon con tai nod in the rocks of that\nBQrlos\" (cretaceous\nbe made first, then attend to the\nconservation of the moisture. The\nplow should be followed closely by\nthe packer, for the reason that it\npacks firmly the soil lying at the\nbottom of the furrow slice. This soil\nbeing in fine condition, there are\nBlight chances of any open space being left to cause defects in the capillary movement. The idea is not to\nhave any air spaces in the seed bed,\nwhich the capillary cannot span. Tbe\nharrow should follow right after the\npacker to make the mulch which,\nwhile dry itself, acta as a blanket to\nprevent the evaporation of the moisture conserved in the soil below.\nThis method, to my mind, puts the\nsoil in the best condition to carry\nthe largest possible quantity of\nwater, because with finer soil particles it stands to ' reason that the\nearth will hold more water, providing there is a fair quantity of humus. Objections are sometimes raised\nto frequent harrowing of the bare\nfallow, for the reason that it breaks\nup the surface ao fine that the surface soil is blown about by the wind.\nHarrowing when the surface is moist\nhowever, or immediately after a rain\nleaves lumps of earth from the size\nof peas to hens eggs. In this condition will stop the Boil from blowing\nand help to save the run off.\nManure can well be applied to summer fallow in the spring, and worked\ninto the top three inches with a disc\nharrow. This wlll give the weeds a\nchance to germinate before the\nground is plowed. The manure solution, besides adding fertility, tends\nto retard the evaporation constantly\nprocess through the stems and\nleaves of the plants. Kxpcrlments\nconducted at the famous Rotham-\nstead farm in England with pure\nrain water and water taken from the\nRiver Thames, containing n considerable amount of vegetable matter,\nshowed n much higher percentage of\nevaporation of rain water than of\nThames water. \/\nIt hns been proved fully that it\npays to harrow growing grain after\na rainfall until the grain attains a\nheight of six to eight Inches. This\nmaintains the mulch and destroys\nthe small weeds. For harrowing\ngrowing grain a hot day is preferable. Thc harrowing should be cross\nwise with the drilling. The process\nif harrowing growing grain In the\nspring warms the top soil, checks\nevaporation and gives an increased\nyield of from three to five bushels per\nacre.\nCRANBROOK PROSPECTS\nIn Hritish Columbia the coming\nmining district seems to be that portion of South Kast Kootenny tributary to the City of Craubrook.\nThe immense bodies of high aud\nlow grade ore ensures great industrial development as soon as trans*\nportation can be furnished by the\nKootenay Central railway, now under\nconstruction.\nLu every direction from the City of\nOranbrook are promising mining\ncamps, each capable of supporting\nthousands ot operators. The nearness\nof the great coal Holds of the Crow's\nNest Pass is o, great advantage, and\nthere can bo little doubt but that\nrailway competition will be secured\niu tbe near future by connections with\nthe Canadian Northern, Great Northern as well as tbc Cauiulinii I'acilic\nthree transcontinental railways.\nThe oldest town m the district is\nPort Steole, ones tho capital of tho\nKuntt'iiays, which in beautifully located on the Kootenay river. The\nlargest ami moat prosperous city in\ntbis district is Oranbrook, it is lo\nluted iii the centre ,>f a vast lumber\nni);, mining, ami agricultural dis\ntrict. It is built on hlgb land, tlu\nscenery being magnificent aud tin\nclimate unsurpassed\nin tlie vicinity of Oranbrook an\nmany large ranches, where fruit of\nevery description, as well as the tin\nest of vegetables und grain nre raised. The two largest silver-lead mines\nIn Canada arc located in the Cran\nbrook distiict, and close to the city\nuie many promising mineral proper\nties showing deposits of lead, silver\ncopper ami gold. On the slopes of\nthe I'urcoll range of mountains, in\nthe St. Mnry's river district, a distance of twenty miles, copper and\nsilver-lead properties, as well 'as\nplacer mines, are being developed on\nalmost every river, creek, or stream\nthat flows from thu mountains.'\nTo the north, in the Upper Columbia valley, nre lound mnny promising properties in various stages of\ndevelopment, which have large bodies\nof silver.lead ore, and which, with\nadequate transportation would become large and constant shippers in\nthe Kootenay valley, to the east,\nthere are many properties. In fact\nwe might say that this great area\nis full of the precious mineral of nature, only awaiting conditions favorable for its development, the completion ol the Kootenay Central railway.\nThis whole area is tributary to the\nCity of Cranbrook, which is the\nnatural supply and nistrlbuting\npoint.\nIn conclusion we shall only Bay\n\"keep your eyes on the metropolis of\nthe vast lumbering, mining and agricultural centre, Cranbrook.\nPHONE 340\nP.

He\ndeclares, \"Tiie natural man receiveth\nnot the things of the Spirit ui God,\n; neither can be know (appreciate!\n. tiiem, iur they are spiritually discern*\ned\" (I. Corinthians ii, 14). Only\nthose who have been begotten of the\nHoly Spirit are enabled lu understand\nthe deep tilings, the spiritual thing*\naf the Divine promise, and to rejoice\ni therein, as the Apostle explains (1.\nCorinthians ii, 9. 10).\nAnd even when thus spirit-begotten\nand with their affections sel on thing*)\nabove, the Lord's consecrated \"little\nflock\"' experience ditlieulty in keeping ilieir affections ou the Heavenly\n; tilings nud ofl oi thc earthly things,\nbecause the latter appeal to them\n: continually through all of their earth*\nI ly senses. They are therefore exhorted\n1 to 'look not at the things that are\nsuen, but at ihe things tnat are un*\ni Been,\" which \"eye hath not seen nor\nj ear heard, neither have entered into\ni the heart of man the great thing-)\nI which God has in reservation for\n! those that love Him\"- love llun more\n: than they love houses ur lauds, par-\n: cuts ur children, ur self.\n; We can plainly Bee, then, that with-\n| uut this begetting of thc Holy Spirit,\n; which bcloiTgs, of course, to the serv-\nj ants and handmaidens uf God during\nthis Gospel Age, none nre able to ap-\n! preoiate the things unseen.

The\nsinger was in St. Petersburg in 1853,\nwhen he received a command from Uie\nCear to sing in a little play which\nwould have lasted about twenty minutes. He was to take the part of a\nyoung officer of the time of Louis XV.,\naud Mario, who was very proud of his\nmustache and short curly beard, demurred. Finally he wa*s sent for by\nthe Empress Marie Feodorowna, who\nwus alwuys very friendly .o him. He\nobeyed the command at once. The\nempress greeted him the moment he\nentered her bomloir with, \"Dear M,\nMario, do for my sake shave and\nsing in this play.\" \"Your majesty,\"\nsaid Mario, kneeling aud kissing the\noutstretched hand, \"I would give you\nmy tiie, but my beard\u2014impossible I\"\n1 inally the Czar ordered Mario either\nto shave or go.

A curious order exists as\nto precautions to be taken against\nthe possibility of intended mischief\nto the royul person in the making of\nthe bed, for the usher was to search\nthe straw through with a dagger \"that\nthere be none untruth therein and to\ntumble over on the down bed for the\nbetter search thereof.\" The bed oi\nHenry VIII. was nearly eleven leet\nsquare, and of even more generous\ndimensions ia the great bed to which\nShakespeare refers in a well-known\npassage in \"iwelfth Night,\" which\nwas twelve feet square.

Once at Mahenbud His Majesty\nand a few friends were having tea in\na restaurant in the pine woods near\nthe town. At a table close by sat another party, the host of which was a\nwell-known German prince.\nThe work of attending to the guests\nat both tables devolved upon a young\nEnglish waitress, and the King did\nnot tail to notice the rude, blustering\nmanner of the royal German, who\nthreatened to report tlie terrified girl\nevery time she had occasion to answer his summons. Annoyed by this\nmoat unjustifiable behavior, the King\nsaid to Sir Stanley Clarke:\n\"You are to convey my thanks to\nthe proprietor here for the prompt and\n' admirable manner in which my party\nhas been served at this restaurant.\"\nThe command was instantly obeyed,\nmuch to the disgust of the adjoining\ntable, a disgust which was intensified\nwhen the King gave the timid young\nwaitress a gold piece.\nA Long Lasting Flower.\nA common South African flower possesses the valuable property of keep-\n| ing fresh for two mouths or more after cutting.
