London, Oct. 12.���[Special to News] The Daily News comments to day on the proposition of a scheme for promoting Imperial Federation. The scheme which was formulated by a body nf public men, headed by Sir John Zieley includes a proposition that courses of lectures on the expediency of Imperial Federation be delivered in the large towns ofthe United Kingdom and the Colonies This is an excellent plan says the News and appeals to all classes. Many of the lectures will b-i especially designed for working men's clubs. As yet no detailed plan of federation has been prepared but such a one could be formulated by degrees, after free discussion. The promoters regard certain principles as necessary to the bond of Union, primarily tbe continuation of our supremacy as the main stay of our commerce. After re marking that the new scheme means the resumption ofthe labors of the Imperial League the News continues: The League began at the wrong end, namely: with prominent leading men, excluding the masses. It was soon captured by pnvate interests, especially the recipros- ity men. Sir Charles Tupper struck the league a heavy blow when he wrote that its main purpose was to levy larye contributions on thc colonies to support^ the mother country's army nnd navy. This charge was not true and SirCharlesafter wards admitted his error, but the mis chief was done. Imperial unity can never emuiate- from the learned political doctors; it must derive its first impulse from lhe sentiments and aspirations of the whole people, we may almost say the whole race. The utterances of a larger hope should not be spoken. The people must wish for unity first before unity can be anything more than a mere transaction in state tariff. If the promoters succeed in infusing the whole working class with enthusiasm the whole scheme will be soon in the domain of practical politics. It is a crusade of love and race pride that is to be pre.iched. There is too much ignorance among the masses as to the tastes, pursuits and habits of our people so widely separated. To thousands ol us, Canada and Australia and the Cape are merely places on the map associated with the conception of high wages and cheap living. Any feeling of real brotherhood, a common origin, common destinies and a great patrimony of rights and duties is unknown. We must change all this.

They may bave referenced the Lard'a Day in th* East, regularly attended church, or even beea prominent membera of it, hut no sooner did they land in thia atate than tbey began gravitating towards the level of their aur- rouudings. Being in Rome they live as do the Romana, Some of them, even of whem better thinga might be eipected, oat-Herod Herod and perform aome things that would put tha Romania to ahame. Th* religion of auoh people, if ever they had any, ia only ���kin deep and peels iff when coming in contact with thia mild climate, or else it ia of each a fragile nature that it cannot br ar transportation. It ta only "trunk religion" and is lately deposited in the bottom of their trunk in th* form of an unused pocket bible, or an outcf dat* thurch ctrtititate. A peculiar feature of church life here ia that the large proportion of cbnrob gocra ar* women, th* men ar* too boiy or too tired, or don't feel very well on Sunday somehow. Poor fellows! it ia owing ta the climate yow know. Thia country ia the headquarter* for th* -'Ancient Order of Queer People". We bave mora cranks here to the tquare mil* than in any other part of Uncle Sam'* doirain. Crank preachers, doctors, lawyers, lecturer***, aud humbugs, etc. of both aeiea thrive here like feme in tbe Comox valley. Invalids flock here from the four points of the eompaaa and aa aome of them can't live by the sweat of the brow, tbey very naturally try to sweat some body else. Yon are aware that children an enjoined to "obey their parent*-". Some of them endeavor to fulfill that injunction, whilst many find it more congenial to rule than obry, Husbands and wive* love nne another as they onght to do, of course, and yet there are some among na who love someone else ss well. Tbe marriage tie ia very eaaily untied and divorce ia fearfully con*- mon. A neck to neck race between mer- riage and divorce ia not an unusual occurrence. Among snch discontent elements it ia natural to suppoae that in matters of religion everyone doea what is right in his own eyea. There are 00 fewer than DO different kinds of religion represented in the City of Lo* Angelas; enough one wonld sup- poae for men of all creeds or no creed to select the particular shade best suited to his taste. Suicide aeem*- to be as catching a* the measles; every daily paper ia bespattered witb ita ghastly details.

Don't forget the Benefit Hall for the Puntiedge Public School, Ncw desks are necessary and the trustees and teacher arc endeavoring to secure neat iron desks such as are usad in the city schools The enterptise is worthy of support and it is hoped that the people of Comox and Union will secure tickets and make the affair a thorough success, both socially and financially. The price of admission ia only $1 for gentlemen and no extra charge for refreshments. Remember the lind. SOUTHERNJALIFORNIA, Dear Mr. Editor.

Some of tbem succeeded in finding the precious on; and when tbe object of their ambition was accomplished they realised that they lacked everything bnt gold. A mere handful of thein succeeded in leaving th* "Diggings" laden with the spoils of California to fight their weary way towards the<r Kit-tern homes.

A LEVELER FOR PLOWED LAND. One of the very beat contrivances for preparing wheat ami corn grouud ia oue that haa tma invented in the Went, but which has not been patented, writes a correspondent. The soil is a loam or drill deposit, tree from gravel, and in aime places the subsoil is a continuation of tho upper soil for a great distauue. Iu plowing the aoil it is found thnt the land will waah during the heavy tdiuwurs of the summer, aud in many places become full of small gullies. Although it does not lu breediuz, thn individual merit, of thu aire should bu taken into account aa well aa a long pedigree. The greater the variety of grasses in the pasture the better for the thrift of the stock that feeds there. Give a cnlt plenty of opportunitty to exercise and ho will grow faster and make a better horse when matured. Generally a good looking horse will Bell well, but with speed iu addition to good looks he will be more valuable. If all farmers cannot have registered stock they can improve what they nave by good breeding and good care. A SlMl'I.K LtVILlR. get hard and lumpy like soil of a more clayey nature, atill there is trouble with clods when llie neanin is verv dnnitliy. In ordor to level lhe land and lo hre-tlt tho umpa. an iiuplemont haa beon invented by the farmers here, and is very much in uae. For waut of same better name it, is called a leveler. Another tool called lho float, or clod breaker, must not be confounded wilh the leveler. The leveler shown in tho illustration ia made by the use of four plank*, threo leches thick hy twelve inches wide, and fourteen or sixteen feot lung. About four feet from each end of two of the planks a gain ia aa* on ono side nf tbe plank on the surface side. Theie four planks arc bolted together edge who, nnt unlike a box without any bottom or top, except that tho aides are not flush with tlie ends by four foot. If the corneri are not braced, large eye* bol ta must housed. In order to uae the leveler a team ia hitchod to each of the two front c'-ruers, and lho implement is hauled thiougb the Hold, -after having been weighted lo the proper amount to heat serve the character of the field in which it is used. Tho drivers lido on the boards placed across tho leveler. The .toil will gather iu front of the front plank aud all the find earth will fcift through and under the plank ; lumps will gather and be mashed as uneven places are found in tho field. When a dead-furrow ia crossed, it is at once completely filled np and leveled in a way that cannot bo done with auy other tool. The leveler and tho float have almoat superseded the harrow hero iu the* preparation of tho soil for crops. I prepared the grouud for tifty-fiv) acres of wheat last fall that nover had a harrow in the field, and the wheat looks at i hia writing aa if it would yield thirty liuehuU per acre. Itha perfect stand and was put in with a press drill. The float or clod-crusher ia made by placing several planks, twelve or fourteen feet long, in such a way that thoy will overlap each othor, like tho siding of a house, nnd the float is drawn by two or hy four horses. I have found that this implement does better work by not being too long, I prefer ten feet to sixteen in length. By the use of these two tools, a field is loft like au onion bed, and only needs a roller to complete it in some dry Rye For Winter Pasture. All stock like somo green food io the winter, and when fields are convenient for the purpose, it pays to sow some rye for pasture, saya a writer. This year all atook food will he dear, and ryo pasture will give better returns than usual. I first began using it for owes with winter lambs, and am sure it increased tho flow of milk very materially. Rye is hardy, growing whenever the surface of tho ground ia not frozen, and early in the spring making abjg amount of feed before other grasses start. In open winters it aflorda food nearly all thu time, For young Btock tbat ia bird to carry through the winter in a thrifty condition, soma green rye is especially valuable. The common practice is to seed corn fields to rye. When tho com stands up well, I prefer to seed before tho corn is cut, aa when fall pasturage is wanted, the seeding should ba early. In my latitude, where corn ripens the latter part of September, the first of the month is a good timo to sow. More seed should be sown than wheu growing rye aa a grain crop, lho chief thing being a dense growth. Ono can use a one-horso drill in the rowa, ot- else sow by hand and cultivate the seed into the ground. I perfer the latter way. Fivo rowa of corn at a round can be sown eaaily, and then a surface cultivation will stir the surface and cover the seed at the same time. But storms often lodge some of the corn, and theu it does very well to wait uutil the corn is put into Bhocka. If t'ie soil is not too hard packed, I havo used a grain drill without provioua preparation of the ground. The corn stub* may interfere with the drilling, but with an extra man to follow tho drill and watch that the rubber tubes are not pulled out of the hoes by the Blubs, good and rapid work can be done. In this way I seeded ton acrea laat year that made a heavy growth. When the aoil is hard packed, I sow broadcast and cut the seed in with a disc harrow, Thia does very woll, furnishing loose soil, and covering tho seed. There is an old English saying th,.t rye ahould be "dusted in," which means thab a dry seed bed is desirable. Whilo one can aow rye successfully in ground ao dry that wheat would fail in it, yot 1 do not believe in the saying. Never sow rye when the ground ia wet, but a fair amount of moisture is beat for all seeds of which I have knowledge. I would always prefer to sow after a rain, and just, aa aoou aB tho soil is dry enough to crumble. If one oan got a good rain about the first of autumn and then aow thc ryo in corn, it will germinate and make root ready for good growth inst as soon as tho corn is cut, and the sun ight can strike it. There is only one serious objection to feeding tilled fields to rye for pasture, and tbat is the danger of having the ground tramped when wet. The roots do not make enough of a Bod to keop stock from cutting through. Tramping of ground when wot kill1) it. One ahould mako it a rulo never to let atook into the fields when aoft. If auch a rule U followed I believe that a field will gain in fertility by growing rye fnr pasture between crop.*. Tlie roota add organic matter to tho aoil,ami this not only improves the mechanical condition but helps chemical act-on that makes plant food available- It is not always safe to gruzo pregnant animals on a rye pa-tun*. Krgot may bo preaent and givo trouble. This caution, 1 believe, should be heeded. Pye maybe sown wiih timothy and other grasses in the fall for permanent pasture. The rye will furnish food until tho other grasses mako a growth in the late spring orsuminer, Itmay also be sown chiefly for green manuring, although pastured soma until time to plow the laud. In some soils such a growth of green stulT,wben plowed under.aids greatly in forcing the growth of a succeeding crop. Stock Notes. Poor pasture, and too much exercise cut down the profits. Always keep salt where the cows can have easy access to it. What farm stock in wurtb keeping is worth keeping well. Keep the stock out of low, damp pas turts. at night especially, during the fall. Many farmera, in feeding, wanie what, if saved, would make a good profit. When buying a horse for work on the farm make thia point���that it fa a good walker. PAY UP THE MEDICAL PROFESSION A Promlm-tU Pfjtlclun Thinks lhe Pro* n-xiiitn h ilaAerpatd -roiupaniion b��- im-rn Ibit I'ouniry ami I'urupe. Wo find some facta relating to tbo pay of the medical profession in au article contributed to tho September number of tho Forum by Ur. Ueorgo F. .Shrady of Now York and the data collected aro rendered moro instructive by a detailed comparison with tho state of things iu Kuglaud, Franie, and Germany. Tho conclusion to which tho Forum article seems to paint is that in view of the beneflcieut work accomplished, the medical profession iB underpaid. Tho result of tbe author's iitquiries is that tho avoragt- annual income of physicians in large practieo in most of tho large cities cannot Im put above $2,01)0, while in tbo smaller towns aud rural dlatrlo'B it scarely exceeds $1,20<>. As regards the city of New York, it is asserted that two or threo phyaiciaue make over $100,000 a year ; that five or sit range from 350,000 to $60,000 : fifty from 945,000 to $30,000; one hundred ami fifty from 510,000 to Sit!, 000; about three hundred from $5,000 to $0,000; fifteen hundred from $2,000 to $'-1,000, anil tho remainder from $H00 to $1,000. Tlie rule is Baid to be that the largest incomes aro ultimately made by thoso physicians of conspicuous ability who confine their practice to a special branch, but when the long preparation necessary and tho limo spent in attaining a reputation are considered, the bu poriority of receipts is less considerable than might at first sight bo .supposed. For the ordinary practitioner, what is known aa general family work appoara lo be tho most remunerative. The rapidity with which success may bo gained depend** largely upon whether the young doctor settles in a rural district, a growing town, or a large city, Country practice yields moro at the beginning, but the maximum is sooner reached. This would obviously follow from the difference in the scale of fees. In many of the smaller towns a physician nets no more than half a dollar for an ollico visit, aud but twice that for a call within a mile from his home. In thn large oities the tees are higher. TIib general family practitioner charges from $2 to $5 per visit to the fiatient'a house. Tho average fee expected rom tho rich is but $5, although twice that sum is usually demanded by physicians whose practice is for the moat part limited to suoh peoplo. Oflice consul tati ous of specialists cost from $10 to $25, as do also consultation visits. Whon a New York physician is called out of town, the usual ohargo, we are told, is from $10 to $-20 for each hour of absence from home, plustrav oiling expenses, and the regular fee of $'25 for the consultation itself. Not a few practitioners, however, obtain twice or three timea those amounts. As might havo been expected, surgical operations command the highest prices, which vury, according to the skill and reputation ofthe operator, from $100 up into the thousands. It seems that, in (-eneral, night ������fill', whether ordinary or consultation visilB, are paid for at double the rates of day calls. Now, Ictus seo how tho earnings of theae physicians compare witb those of somo of their Kuropean confreres. In Kngland the guinea is atill tho standard ollice foe .double that amount being charged for outside work. In London, howovor, muoh larger sums are paid to tho fow physicians and surgeons who control the best business. Tho same thing may bo mid of Paris,where the maximum fee for surgical operations may bo said to be ��5,000, such having been the ruling of tho court in which a suit was lately brought for $10,000 for a surgical service, Tbe usual Parisian foo fora Burgeon called in consultation is $20, whether the examination takes place in his office or at the patient's house, Thc pay ofa physician called in consultation is somewhat smaller, ranging from ��12 to $20 per house visit, while at bis ollico it is from $4 to $10, Tho general practitioner in Paris obtains on an average $2 per visit, but in aristocratic circles ho demands $4. Tho highest nniiii.il income now received by any Paris physician is said to be $40,000 although the lato M, Charcot is reported to have earned much moro. There are two surgeons in the French capital who are reputed to make $100,000 a year. The ordinary fees of thn inedioal profession in Germany seen; much lower but wo must bear in mind that the purchasing power of the niaik is much groater than that of its nominal equivalent, 25 cents, even if it be not quite equal, as Dr. Shrady thinks, to that of a dollar. Tho German family doctor yets 2 marks, or 50 cents, for an office visit, The specialists of llerlin and other large German cities charge from 5 to 10 marks for outside calls. The high medical authorities receive 20 marks in thoir ollices and 30 for visits at a patient's home. On the whole, the average earnings of the Gorman family doctor are computed at $1,250 a a yoar, and those of physicians called in consultation and of first-rate specialists at $2,500. Regarding the caaual windfalls obtained hy Kuropean practitioners of distinction, Dr. Shrady recalls Lho faot, lhat the late physician of tho Princo of Wales received for four weeks' attendance at HandrIngham, during his patient's illness from typhoid lever, not only the title of Baronet, but a fee of $50,000. Sir Morelt Mackenzie is reported to havo received more than twice as much for his trtatment of tho Kmperor Frederick, Another fact less known is that the Nawab of Kumpur recently paid an army surgeou $250,0U0 for three months' occasion al attendance in an ordinary at.ti.ck of rhou mutism. A Itus-dan Burgeon is reported to have t-barged a patient in Odessa $0,000 for opening au abscess of tbe hip, the time occupied bain,* about ten minutes, Now and then a windfall of the kind above exempli* tied occura on this side of tho All mtic. Dr. Shrady asserts that certain American multimillionaires pay for tho exclusive and constant attendance of their physicians from 360,000 to $I00,(K0 a year. We are told that ono physician received $87,000 for attending the daughter of a very rich man for two months ; another $00,000 for a yachting cruise of less than six months. If we BUrvey, however, the whole field of lhe medical profession, wc must recognize that the prizes are lew, and that tlie value of tho services done ii out of all proportion to the pay laboriously gained. A CANADIAN MAIL ROUTE. The Project or n CuaadUn Mall Route to An-uralla ttntnlnn -Uroiitul In I'ngluud. The proposition to establish a Canadian mail route to Australia is gaining influen. tial supporters in England,where a far mure intelligent view ofthe project is taken than iu certain quarters in Canada. The London Times hu approved of tho propoaition and haB shown that the fast line to Canada could be operated at a profit. Opponents of lhe scheme, particularly upon thia side of the ocean, have songht to show that such a line would meet perils of navigation whioh would prove insuperable, but The Times dismisses theae objections as trivial aud not to he oousidered. Tho conclusion of The Times ia that tbe propoaition is perfectly feasible and to commend il aa of special importance to the British people. Now cornea Lord llraasoy in a letter to that journal warmly supporting the proposal. He aaya that if tho Karl of Jersey, who represented Great Britain at the recent Colonial Conference, recommends the Canadian service to Australia, there should be no hesitation in granting the necessary subsidies both for the steamship lines and the Pacific cable. Lord Brasaey is in position to spcrtk of the possibilities of suoh a servicers he is thoroughly informed upon colonial matters both in Canada ami Ans tr-il's 'md can estimate the important bear* intc which the establishment of the service would have upon the trade and intercourse of tbe empire, Thero is something in the all-British route which appeals efleotively to Englishmen, which, in a large measure, accounts for the interest taken in the matter across the water. The question of the profit- producing feature of the proposal ia ot secondary importance. Experience teaohos that similar ventures havo not paid at firat and have been conducted at great loss, but in time they grew into profitable concerns, in every way justifying the faith which their projectors had in them. The tendency ia to consider the utility of the service firat, and leave the profit to future demonstration. Just what the Karl of Jersey's report will contain is not known. It ia understood that he views the cable project with favor and will commend it for endorsation, but what he will have to say aa to the establishment of a fast steamship line on the Atlantic, which is a matter of deep concern to Canadians, remains to be seen. It is believed that when he reports it will bo found tbat he will recommend the establishment of a faat line as a wise undertaking from an Imperial point of view, and the feeling already ia that the line is assured.

A Remarkable riire at (-nntuinptlon In lit Last SIhki's-Is This Oare lirea.l Disease fonqnereil ?- Important Faclt I* All Suffering From Dlseaseil or Wank Lnnia. Elmwood, Ont., Aug. Slat, 1894. Dkar Sikh :���I wiah to call your attention to a remarkable cure of consumption. In March, 1803, I was called in my professional capacity to aee Mias Christina Rooster, of North Brant, who waa then suffering from an attack of inflammation of the left lung, The attack waa a severe one, the uae of the lung being entirely gone from the effect of the disease. I treated hor for two weeka when recovery aeemed assured. I afterwards heard from her at intervals that the progress of recovery was satisfactory. The case then passed from my notice until June, when 1 was again <alled to see her, her friends thinking she had gone into consumption. On visiting her I found thoir suspicions too welt founded. From robust health ahe had wasted to a mere skeleton, scarcely able to walk across the room. She waa suffering from an in tenia cough, and expectoration of putrid matter, in fact about a pint each night. There waa a burning hectic fever with chills daily. A careful examination of the previously diseased lung showed that it* function was entirely gone, and that lu all probability it was entirely destroyed. Still having hopes that the trouble waa due to a collection of water around the lung I asked for a consultation, and the following day with a prominent physician of a neighboring town again made a careful examination. Every symptom and physical sign indicated the onset of rapid consumption and the breaking down of the lungs. Death certainly seemed but a short time distant. A regretful experience had taught me the useless- ness of the ordinary remedies uaed for this dread and fatal diaeaae, and no hope was to be looked for in thia direction. I had frequently read the testimonials in favor of Dr, Williams'Pink Pills in wasting diseases, but not knowing their composition hesitated to use them. Finally, however, I decided to give them a trial, and I am free to aay that I only used them at a stage wheu I knew of absolutely nothing else whioh could save the patient's life. Tho test was a most severe one and 1 muat alao admit an unfair one, as the patient waa so far gone as to make all hopo of recovery aeem impossible. A vory short time, however, convinced me of the value of Pink Pills. Although only using an ordinary soothing cough mixture along with the pills, within a week the symptoms had abated so much that It was uo longer necessary for me to make daily calls. Recovery waa so rapid that within a month Miss Rooster was able to drive to tny office, a distance of about six miles, and waa feeling reasonably well, except for weakness. Tho expectoration had ceased, the cough was gone and the breathing in the diseased lung waa being restored. The usa of the Pink Pilla was continued until the end of October, when she co-mod to take the modi-due, being In perfect health. I atill watched her oaae with deep interest, but almost a year haa now passed and not a trace of her illueia remains. In faat she is as well aB ever she was and no one would suapeot that ahe . had ever been ailing, to aay nothing of having been in the clutches of suoh a doadly disease as consumption, Her recovery thiongh tbe use of Pink Pills, after having reaohed a stage when other remedies were of co avail, is so remarkable that I feel myself justified In giving the facta to the public, and I regret that the composition of the pills ia not known to the medical profession at large in order that their merit might be teated in many more diseases and their usefulness be thua extended, 1 intend giving Ihem an extended trial in the caae of consumption, believing from their action in thiB case, (so well marked) that they will prove a curative in all cases where a cure is at all possible��� I mean bofore the lungs are entirely destroyed.

CHAPTER XXXIX. Ona day at a oountry houae ia for all tha world like another. Then ia no variable- neat, neither shadow of turning. Every well appointed oountry houae bu, or ought to have, Ita nun-dial; and the life of the houae ia that of the dial. At the exact hour it telle the exact time. You know what everybody ie doing, you know where they are, and you know where to find them. It ii aa muoh matter of entire certainty aa U life oo board an ooaan liner. Thia particular man will be for a certainty at the ken* nela or the atablea, or in the billiard room j thia or that particular lady with or without the particular man, whom ahe may af* fact, will be in the ahrubberlea, or at the home farm. I wu aeated one morning very pleaaanily under the awning of the marquee. October in the valley ot the Thamea u often tbe moat delightful month in the year. Id September it raina. In October there ia an equipoiie. It ia not till Novomber that you get what aailora oe.ll dirty weather. The wooda and plantation are turning a rich ruuct���a dull, pleaaant color upon which it doea the eye good to reat. Practically, and u a matter of fact, it ia the erect tint of atewod Normandy pippini. But are not primroeee the very color of (Wan of aulphur! And doea not the mere mention of flowers of aulphur recall the memory of Mra. Wackford Squeere and the brimatone and treacle? It le a atrange fact but a true one, that at the* moat critioal momenta of your life, the memoriea and reoolleotiona that crop up and force themaelvu upon ynu are the moat incongruous. Lord Asholl came sauntering up,apparent- Iy unprepared. Aa a matter of faot, I could eee at once that he wu dreaaed for the occasion. He wore the I Zingaria uniform, which in Ita way ia u muoh a distinction u lathe uniformof the Royal Yacht Squadron, He had then, ao to uy, hoisted his colors, trebleahoUed hla guns.and wu now sailing down under full top-sails, conquering anil to conquer. Once again 1 What a contrut to George Sabine 1 *���- It ia a surprise to find you here, Mra. Gasooigne,'* he said (what very unskilful liars men are). " I strolled down intending to he alone, and here I find you." "Then," uid I, "it would be cruet of me to disappoint ao laudable an intention. I wu juat about to return tothe house, and I will eo leave you to your solitude and itt valuable results." He turned u red u a turkey cock, and, like that ridiculous bird, began to gobble or gabble���I wonder which is the correct etymology���in an incoherent fuhion. "Thia is a beutly dull place," he uid. "Of courae there are auch thinga u white liea. There's no harm in a white lie. Very muoh the contrary. It does you good.and It uves a lot of trouble,eapecially for a fellow like myself, who hain't sot the gift of the gab. 'Gift of the gab' is beastly vulgar I know, but it is juat what 1 meau. If I only had the gift of the gab like my bent of a younger brothel* hu, I ahould be sitting for the county now, I know what I mean u well u any man, but I can't bring t out." "I think I know what ynu mean," I an. ���wered, "aud 1 think���1 am aure you will understand me���that I can help a lame dog overastilo. Yuu are very kind, and you have come down here to talk to me because I am alone. Now, u It happens, I came down here myaelf because 1 wanted to be alone, and u that ia ao, I am aure you oan euily find or invent something else to do. A man in the country has every advantage over a woman. There is always aome ���musing occupation to whioh he can tuin. A woman has literally nothing. I am at this moment engaged in doing nothing. It la a very delightful pursuit, and I shall be very gratelul to you if you will let me con* tinuelt unlnte-roptedly." He waa no match for me. Look what a training I had had. Again be flushed from white to red, and then paled from red to whito, and then began to stammer and itut* ter inarticulately. " You are too clever fci me," he said, " You are laughing at me, and twisting me round your little linger. Yon are u merciless u the famous tennis player who gives you half-forty with a bisque, and u he atepa into the service side, uka you which It your favorite chase. What on earth ia the good of torturing me ? 1 know what I mean, aud yon know what 1 mean. It'a cruelty to animals to worry me in this way. I oan stand a facer u well aa any man. If one ia to come, do pray tor goodness aake let me have it and have done with it." " You are talking in parables," I replied. 411 uaure you I have not the leut idea of what you mean." " You muat have," he anawored. "What I mean is that I love you, that I would be shot for you, or die for you in any way, or do anything for you. .Surely you know what that means. And aurely you oan give me a ' Yes' or a ' No' to it Yea or no ia not a very difficult matter. I know how to take an anawer." " You have paid me the greatest compliment a man oan pay a wutian; I am very grateful to you for it. I know you are sincere, but���apres��� the thing is out of the question. Let us remain the very best of friends, Lord Ashwell, and be aure that ahould you ever need my friendship you will have it to the utmost." He took his answer like a man. He did not attempt to argue, "Leg-before, wicket," he aaid, with a cheerful laugh, although a little forced. "Umpire says so, and umpire la alwaya right, or, at all eventa, there is no appeal. I won't argue Mra. Gasooigne. You have beau very kind and straightfor- Ward and fair. 1 am quite sure you have meant to do me a good turn; aod if ever I can do you a good turn you may be quite aure that I will. Hut look here, we needn't draw the slumps yet. On my word of honor, I don't waut to worry you. Think it over. We ahall havo another opportunity of talking about all thia; aud yon may trust me not to vex you ui necessarily, or push myself into your way between now and then. Look, the book is closed for the present; but it isn't locked, and I ahall moat certainly not givo up hone until you tell me it is looked, and until 1 am aure that you are doing ao in downright earneat." What on earth is one to do with a boy likethis? I know what I should have liked to do for I felt old enough and fond enough ot him, and, for the matter of that, proud enough of bim and proud enough of hla love for myself, to seize bis head by the curia, and tell hi.n he was a dear good boy���as, indued, he was���and kisa him u he ieserved. But that kind of thing was, of courae, out of the question. CHAPTER XL That even ing.af ter tho ladiea had retired, I adjourned to Ethel's room, aud we talked over the events of the day. Ih ad no secrete from my friend, and I told her everything. "I cannot understand," she said, "why youdld not accept liim then end there. Of courae you mean to have liim. And, in my opinion,you are unwise in running any risk, Theae young men never know their own minds. He may bn devoted to you to-day, and madly in love with ine to-morrow." Aa I looked at Ethel, who, by-the-way, WU not at her best en deshabille, I felt that, so far aa ahe herself was concerned, my risk wu almost infinitesimal, " Give me a middle-aged man," ahe continued. *' When they love, it is love and no mistake. I hate boys ai a rule, but I nm bound to admit that yonr young gentle* man il an exception. He will be immensely rioh. Old Cambridge owns half the oountry, and hasn't a farthing under eighty thousand a year. You had better make hay while the aun shines. Otherwise our young friend will be running np to town and falling In love with eome chorus girl, or dancer, or person of that kind who will know how to play her carda. Those kind of women have unbounded experience, and sum to know how to manage theae young men. For my part I oaunot understand it. I am told they are very stupid. They are certainly not better looking than we are, nor are they. 1 believe, a bit more wicked.' " My dear Ethel, I don't oare whether he goea to town or whether he doesn't. I don t oare if I never act eyea on him again. Tbe faot is I am not a scrap in love with him, and I am moro than doubtful whether I shall accept hia offer." " Then 1 think you are mad. Are you waiting for a Crown Prince to propose to you!" " I am not waiting for any one to pro pose. To tell you frankly, I am sick of the whole business. Look at my frightful look. Nothing succeeds with me. If I were to accept Lord Ashwell, I ahould have to tell him the truth. There is no help for that, and even if there wero I ahould not avail myself of it," "Of oourse, you muat tell him tbe truth; but you don't imagine that will make any difference if he is really in love." "I don't know. Look nt Mr. Meadowsweet." There are very few Mr. Meadowsweets about, my dear Miriam. Hla knowledge of the truth did not diminish Captain Maltby'a affection, now did it 1" "No, tbat ia truo," I answered j "but I will reply in your own fuhion and say that there are very few Captain Maltby'a about." CHAPTER XLI. Four daya later came a btg ball, the invitations for whioh bad been sent out,and all the other arrangements made before our arrival. The rooms were, u far u pouible, thrown eo suite, and decorated by at eminent London firm not far from St. Muy Axe. There were immense olumpa of exotica, and choice standi of orchids from the neighborhood of West Kensington. The supper wu looked after by a putry* cook In Berkeley Square, whose name ia a household word ; and the band wu simply a perfect, I remember that the groundsand shrubberiu and summer housea glistened with many colored lamps, aud here and there were lit up with the electric light, which Mrs. Fortesoue declared to be a mixed blessing, pleasant and pretty in it* aelf, but trying to the complexion, and apt at tlmee to buret upon you when you leut needed it. To give a list of the company is out of the question. Half the county were there, from the Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff down to the Rectors and small Squires. Ar* rangementa had been made by whioh a train from Paddington brought down aeveral saloon carriages filled with guests from London, and stopped at Windsor to take in a detachment from the garrison there, Without multiplying details, it oan ouly be aaid tbat everything had been admirably planned, and that In no single point did there occur the leut breakdown or even delay. If, u Ethel afterwards said, it had been the old Duke of Buckingham himself enter* tainlng the crowned heads of Europe at Stowe, the thing oould not possibly have been better done. I had what I suppose young girls call a fairly good time ot it. I danced u often u I pleued, and more especially walked solemnly through a quadrille with Sir Bridgman Hale, tho distinguished wearer of the ermine, who wu staying with the Fox's. Lord Ashwell did not talk twaddle either on the stairs, or during supper, but he wu evidently filled with the design of talking, and when I declined further galantine, or mayonnaise, or r-hampagne cup, he somehow managed to get me out Into the grounds and into a smaller marquee, where refreshments of a somewhat lighter order were being urred. To avoid refusing to stop, I allowed him to procure me an ice. He, I noticed, steadied himself with a tumbler of champagne. We were practically atone. The hired waiters and maids were neither listening nor oaring to listen. They were probably counting the minutes to the happy hour when they Bhould have supper on their own account. There were a fewother people In the tont, but they were all busy with themselves; and thus it oame about that Lord Ashwell and I wero u muoh alone as if we had been hidden in the deepest shadows of the ahrubberlea. He began what he most evidently wu going to say, with a clear determination to take the lead at the start, anl to keep up tho pace to the very finish���if the metaphor be permissible In a oontest where, unless It be Time himself, the young champion hu no competitors, "I hope," he aaid, "you have been thinking over what we talked aliout the other day. In faot you promised me you would do so, and so I am aure you have. Of course I want to know what you have to tell me. If it ia what I am longing to hear, 1 don't exaotly know what I ahall do or say, although I need hardly promise that 1 shall do nothing silly. But I do want to aay this���" I wu looking at tho ground, and he, I could feci wu looking hard at me���"that I am determined in no case to rest until you say 'yea' at last. Of course this ia very pesumptu- ous in me, but I ran stay ; and if I have to stay, 1 will, and I only hope"���and here his voice dropped quite naturally from a tone of determination, into something al* most like the accents of r child, uking for something it covets and of whioh ita chances are problematical���" I only hope that I ahall not have to wait. Waiting iB alwaya terrible work," " But I have hardly had time to think the thing over," I pleaded. " It ia so very sudden. " That Isn't fair," he answered, " You have had five days. Surely that is quite long enough, I do really believe, to exhaust the catalogue of my demerits many times ovfr, Merita I have none to he considered. Surely then the court need not any longer defer ita judgment. Do, pray Mrs. Gasooigne, kindly let me know what I have to look forward to in lifo at once, and then 1 will take jou baok directly to where the lights are brightest." " Well then, Lord Ashwell, I like you very muoh, and I will do all that I oan to try aud love you. I daresay it will not bo a very difficult task." " You mean yes ?" he uked half in doubt, " X suppose so," I replied. " It Is very good of you," he answered. " If'a more than 1 deserve. It'a more than any man iu the world deserves. But I will try and prove myaelf worthy of it any* how." Then we both aat for a few minute* in silence. We could hear the'sound of the river, and the more or leu distant murmur of voices, and even the rustle of the foliage overhead. And then suddenly the band burst out in foil force. It wu the Myoso- tls Valse. "This valse la mine, I hope," he said, "unless you aro tired." "Not at all tired. I ahall enjoy it." And in a moment almost we were whirling round to the muslo. The band played to perfection. Lord Ashwell was far more than a good dancer, in the ordinary acception of the term. He kept pace with the music unconsciously, ult it tome way took possession of him, and made him movo without effort or even volition. And on the other hand he almoat carried his partner, although you conld scarcely feel even the touoh of his hand, ao light wu it. It was the perfection of dancing. Round we circled, quicker went the music, quicker still. There was a reat of about a couple of bars, and then thu full atreug* li of the orchestra brought us to a standstill with one great final crash. Aud once again arose the pleasant babel of happy voices and bright laughter. As I turned into bed tbat morning fairly tired out, end in fact almoat half asleep, I could bardly help feeling certain that from avery point of view 1 had done the right ** ������ * * nd with this ippy oonsei neu I aoon felt uleep, although ia aome thing, and the best thing. And witb comforting reflection and happy conscious- bushes immediately under my window a more than usually persistent nightingale wu filling the air with hia notes. {TO BE CONTINCID.) ANARCHISTS AND CANADA. These roes or Seelely Nor fce roelhardy f-nenghte War Canada a Visit. Canada would seem to be tbe lut place in the world to invito the unwelcome attention of Anarchists. Wo do not know that we have a single oue of thnt social disuse amongst ua. If auoh a oue wu discovered, it wonld very speedily be isolated. Yet, according to the hackneyed phrue, it la the unexpected that happens, aud the judical death by hanging yesterday morning at Pittsburg, Pa., of Noel Malison, and the circumstances connected with the crime for which he suffered, appear to sho^-v that it was onco intended that a bolt of ANAROUIBTIO VZNOMNCE. should fall in a Canadian city���presumably Ottawa���and that it ahould have a destructive effect on the Government buildings. Noel Maisson wu executed for the murder of Mra. Rms, Mrs. Raea and her husband were returning from a visit to neighbor on the night ot Sept. 23rd lut year, when they were attacked by Maisson and another man, named Augusto Breyeue. They shot Mrs Raea through the heart, and severely maltreated her husband. Maiuon was subsequently sentenced te death, and Breyesw to twenty years' im* prEsonment. At the trial it came out that a plot wu being matured having for ita object the blowing up ut Canadian Govern* ment buildings, and that Mra. Raea wu cognizant of iu She had apparently Indicated a disposition to talk about thia plot in an indiscreet manner, and the murderers appear to have thought tbat it would be a safe policy lo put her out of exiater.ee. They were not sufficiently olover to do this without getting into the meshu of the law themselves, and, u a consequence, they met the just reward of their deed. But they were evidently desperate men, who were BKST OH MISCHIEF, and who intended to stick at nothing In the carrying out of their plots. The evidence u to the guilty designs of the miscreants was given at the trial by a wltneu who had heard the unfortunate victim talk in a mysterious way about the nefarious business in-hand. It would be interesting to know what the origin of this buslneu wu, and whether aome secret authority had devolved tha carrying of it ont upon Maiuon and Breyeue, or whether they were undertaking it upou their own account. It It possible, of course, that they were murderous cranks who had formed a project for startling North America after the European manner, but, on the othor hand, the plot might have been a ramification of a cosmopolitan design againat Governments in general. If any credence at all can be given to the evidence at the trial, it seems to indicate that our police authorities should not be unmindful of the fact tbat these foes of society may be foolhardy enough to pay Canada * visit, while it may suggest the desirability ol some investlga* tion of the circumstances referred to.

A llilliM or Over Half a Hllllnii Dollar, on Ihe First Hall Year's UhsIucss. A despatch from London says: The Manchester ship canal shareholders met thia week to hear the financial result of tho firat half year's work. The total net revenue from tolls on the canal amounts to $40,000; total net revenue from all sources 8176,000: interest due on debentures $750,000. There la, therefore, a deficit of much more than half a million to be provided for. The company hai "unappropriated resources" amounting to $2,5*20,000 and oan meet the interest duo easily enough, Theae resources consist, however, of the balance of the lut corporal ion loan, and of the reserve fund, on both of which there are heavy calls for construction purposes and future half-yearly nlerest payments over and above the revenue. The directors, nevertheless, have confidence in the future. They are at present engaged in a bitter controversy with Liverpool, whioh takes the form of rate- cutting. Liverpool's hostility to the Manchester canal ia unmitigated. There are odds with the railways, also, between which and the Manchester docks there Is at present but a single connection. The directors, however, are tar from despairng, and have the shareholders do not seem to have raised a single complaint at thia meeting, distant as the day of dividends nuiut be. The report was unanimously abopted and tho chairman's salary increased. Implying a Doubt. Debtor���"I'd like for you to give me more time on that bill I owe you."

The Uit Hoars of the Victor at elnebee- ilnlleanee or lho Trophy loOma-dlane the Sword to the Dominion. -Hen. J, <\ Fallen** Will rresent Concerning the sword of Gen. Wolfe, wbioh the Minister of Militia, Hon. J. C. Patterson, bu purchased to preaent to Canada, some interesting details are given by the Illustrated London News. It ia inaccurate, however, in two details. The reference to the monument on the Plaina of Abraham u commemorating the bravery of French and English alike is obviously wrong, ainoe the monument is to Wolfe alona, Tne |dual obelisk is on Dufferin terrace. Again, the statement that the sword wu used by Major Dunn at Bala, clava is made on inaccurate information, since the 100th Regiment wu not organized until 1858. The observations of the News are u follows.���" Whatever may be the future ot the North American continent, the conquest of Quebec will alwaya remain one of the world'a historical landmarks, in that it put an end once and for all to dreams ot a French dominion on transatlantic aoil. Very naturally, therefore, tbe Canadians are congratulating themselves at this moment upon having aecured a reminder of that great event in the sword whioh waa carried by the immortal Wolfe on the Heighta of Abraham. For some time put thia sword hu been in the handa of Mown. Sotheby, Wilkinson k Hodge and hu now been bought by Hon. J. C. Patterson, Dominion Minister of Militia, to be placed, no doubt, among other troph las of the kind in the library of the Domin Ion Parliament at Ottawa. It is an excellent specimen of an officer's sword of the period, with a hilt of silver, and a throe-cornered blade. A CURIOUS HISTORY. "The history of the nlio is a curious It appears from documents which have been preserved that for nearly a century it lay buried juat beneath the ground on the very spot on the Plains of Abraham when Wolfe fell mortally wounded on Sept. 13, 1759. It wu, it will be remembered, in the very heat of the engagement with ttie French troopa under Montcalm that Wolfe received his morta j wound. Of two previous wounds he had taken no heed, though onc waa in the groin, Hutily covering the trace of them with hla handkerchief, and bidding those about him uy nothing on the subject lest his soldiers should grow fain t-h carted, he again led hia favourite Gnnadiera to the charge. But a third ball completely overcame him; he wu led a little to the rear, and disencumbered of his arms and accoutrements by hla attendants and servants, and when the welcome ory had oome "They run I They run 1" the life. leas corpse wu borne away to the flagship in the St, Lawrence below, without a thought of the aword, which had been hastily thrown down on the damp earth. The heavy tramp of battalions and the planting of artillery to complete tbe demolition of tha citadel which formed the Fnnoh headquarters completely hid the weapon from sight, and there it lay for ninety yean or ao, until the foundationa wen dng of the monument whioh marks in one obelisk the bravery of the Frenoh and English alike. It wu taken to a Montreal gunsmith, and by him sold to Mr. Stewart Derblshin, for many years Queen's printer in Canada. Shortly afterwards the 100th Regiment wm raised in Canada to proceed to the Crimea, and it wu then presented to Major Dunn in the hope tbat be would, to uao Mr. Derbi* shire's own.words, 'again make it terrible to the enemies of our own country.' It is believed to have been used by Major Dunn in the terrible charge of the Six Hundred at Balaclava, and it is fitting that the Victoria Crosa whioh that gallant ollicer received at the hands of his Sovereign should pass with the sword and other medals into the pnud care of the Canadian people. THE SWORD'S STONiriCANOE. "Thinga have greatly changed since the terrible struggle whioh exchanged the French for the English flag on the ramparts of Quebec, and then is no more significant proof of the healing power of time than the reception of this nlio by the French-Canadians of to-day. It ia, of courae, a souvenir whioh recalls to their minds one of the bitterest pages of Frenoh history���the violent separation of Canada from her firat Motherland���but they nalizequite u fully u Parkman, tbe historian, did, that aun. sequent eventa have made the conquest of Quebeo u precious to French-Canadians u to their English fellow-citizens. For evidence of this we need only turn to the columns ot suoh a journal as La Minerva, ol Montreal, whioh, speaking of the addi- tion of this sword to Canada's collection of historical relics, Bays:���'The treaty of 1703 scoured to us the free exercise of our re. tigion, the enjoyment of our properties, the benefit of our civil jurisprudence. It is still the most sacred duty to fight unyield- logly for the preservation of our rights; but, despite nil, we have nothing to complain of. There is not a small nation in the world which enjoys a greater amount of liberty than the French-Canadians, nnd they know how to accept the situation, The Britiah Crown is justified in reckoning upon them u upon ita most loyal subjects. No one who remembers the gallant and loyal conduct of De Salaberry at Chateau- guay, and othen like him, will doubt the sincerity of this protestation, so far u the majority of the French-Canadian people are concerned. There la only one thing needed to complete the satisfaction of English and French-Canadians alike. It is that the awoid of the Frenoh commander, Montcalm, should now be discovered, and be ptaoed side by side in one casket with that of the English General, to record for all time the f*ct that the combatants of yesterday have become the partnots and co-workers of to-day." Some Gigantic Enterprises. Witb the advent of the twentieth ceutury the world frill probably see many enter prises undertaken and accomplished whioh now seem bo gigantic that all but tholr projeoton regard them as ridiculous and chimerical. Schemes for making waterways through vut sections of territory, and for making direot routes by means of immense tunnels or bridges, an in these days planned and brought forward ao frequently that to make a mental note of eaoh and all Ib by to means easy. Two ship, canal schemes have lately been projected iu Europe, the commercial benefits resulting from the accomplishment of whioh would bo vut. The great Siberian railway ia being constructed with gnat rapidity by the Russian Government, apd it is now uid that a canal connecting tho Baltic and the Bkck Sea by way of tho Rivers Dneiper and Dwina is contemplated. There would thus bo a direct way by which the Kussian navy could reach the Black Sea, for with the closing of the Straits of the Dardanelles by treaty the passage oan only now bo made byway of tho Mediterranean. The other canal the construction of which hu been proposed is the Bor. deaiix*Narbonne.

Ssoul it must be confessed, is a mean* looking town for the capital of an ancient kingdom, but it ia a town whioh anyone making the grand tour of the world shonld by no means neglect tfl visit. Possibly, when this war is over, we shall hear of the organization of a personally conducted tour. From Shanghai tho journey to Seoul is pleasant enough. Tbe traveler skirts the Chinese coast in a comfortable little steamer renowned for ita excellent table, makes a call at the balmy little watering place Cliefoo, the health resort of jaded Anglo-Celestials, and thenoe crones to the West Corean port of Chemulpo. Then a choice of ways is open to him. He may aail up the Han in a junk u far u Ma-Po, the river port of the capital, ho may make the journey of thirty miles in a Corean sedan-chair borne on the shoulders of coolies, or he may ride in a procession of pack-horses. The paok*borae is, however, on the whole, the preferable modo of progreulon. The river is extremely tortuous, and the journey by wator long and comfortless; and the sedan chair ia a barbarous invention oenturiea behind ita prototype in China. It haa no soot, and one is compelled to squat Uilor-fuhion on the floor. The traveler by paok-hone finds muoh to interest him on the journey. The land is undulating and picturesque; the road lies amid well-cultivated fields nnd plants covered with wild flowers. At tbe village an quaint groups of natives, looking, after the dirt and rags of China, refreshingly clean and nsat in their long spotless tidy, cotton robes and their curious open-work horse-hair hats, shaped like tbat ol Mis* trcu Winlfrld Prioe, and in their transparency revealing the curious knotted bunch of hair on the top of the male Corean head. The little children, too, in quaint summer costume ot a little cotton jaoket reaching not quite down to the waiat, gaze at oue smilingly. Then is no begging, no abnse.no calling out of "foreign devils,' or flinging stones, such u ons may have experienced in China; and the inns, if not to bi compared with tbe tea-houses of Japan, an decidedly superior In point of cleanliness to the squalid hostelries of the Celestial Empire. So eight hours slow riding brings the traveller to the picturesque little port of Ma-Po, and here ne passu over tbe very spot when a quarter of a century ngo Bishop Bernenx and three other French missionaries were tortured to death by command ot the still living father of the present King uf Co.-ea. Another hour brings him to the western gate of the mother oity, and after a further half-hour of winding in and out among narrow, ill-smelling lanes the great broad thoroughfan. is naohed, which stretcheu in a perfectly straight line trom the eastern gate to the entrance of the royal pa'ace. Near by may bo seen the fainoua bell wbioh for over four hundred years hu given the signal for the closing of the oity gates at dusk and their opening at dawn, and which hu nightly rung the curfew warning alt citizens, under pain and penalties, to keep within their doors. Apart from the palaoe and the bell, and the little knot of consulates and European residences which ia springing up, then is little of interest to be wen beyond the people themselves. Corea possesses no arts beyond a poor imitation of the arts of China and Japan, There are few, if any, curios to be picked up beyond specimens of bamboo work superior even to thou of Japan in the fineness of workmanship but inferior in art. The houses are, almost without exception, little better than mud huts; and thero are a few shops for whose whole stock in trade one would can to offer a dollar. Yet then are no aigns of extreme poverty suoh as atare one in the face in China, Every man carries in his girdle a pouch of tobacco aud a long straight-stemmed pipe ; and rags are rare. Occasionally a court procession puses by, tbe courtiers in wonderful head-dress and gorgeous raiment- strongly reminiscent of the characters one may have aeen on the native stage in China, and the maids of honour with well-plaited chignons of enormous size ; or a mandarin may pass by on pony baok,orina flat-bottomed sedan chair, with latticed windows of oil od paper. From Seoul the tourist may make a journey right acrou the neck of the continent to Genaan, and then find a steamer bound for Japan, or he may nturn the way he came. For variety be may travel by night, preceded by relays of villagera lighting the way with torohea and paper lanterns, and cheered by the most inharmonious singing of hiB guides. FARMING IN FOREIGN LANDS. "The groat trouble with ynu, John, is,' uid a lady to her huabanl, who wu suffer* ing from tbe effect of the night before, "you oannot say -No.' Learn to uy -No,' John, and you will have fewer headaches, Can, you let me have a little money thia morning?" "No," said John, with apparent ease. The government of South Africa is importing English hackney stallions for breeding purposes. The despised rabbit of Australia ia being anxiously inquired for by the British army contractor, who sees a poasible supply of cheap aud wholesome food for the army in that directum. Tbe grape aud wiue industry in Hungary ie suffering greatly from phylloxera and black rot. The vintage hu steadily de* onased, year by year, tbat of lut year being only throe eighths of tbe annual avenge of fifteen yean ago. The experiments of flax-growing for seed and fiber in South Australia hu proved eminently satisfactory, far exceeding expectation h. It is expected that a much larger ana will bo devoted to flax culture, aul possibly other fiber plants. The director of the government farm at Nariad, India, reports officially that cotton from American seed haa proved a failure in India, after long and repeated trials. He recommends, therefore, that the cultivation ahould stop, and indigenous varieties be cultivated inatead. A aohool of practical agriculture hu been established in the Province of Buenoa Ayres, under direction of the Argentine government. This is the first institution of the kind io that country, and great hopes an entertained of iu elevating influence on agriculture In Argentina. Dried peat or turf, out from bogs, is largely used for fuel throughout Kurope. Some of it is moulded much as bricks arc, and it ia also pressed into compact bolls. One hundred pounda of peat nave a heating capacity equal to fifty pounds of hard coal, or to nearly one hundred weight of wood or aoft ooal. Tea culture in British India and Ceylon hu proved quite successful from a cultural Saint of view, but its commercial succeu ependa upon increased markets for the product. America and Australia are regarded with interest by Indian Ceylon planters u pouible buyers ot their surplus. An Agricultural Organization Society hu been formed in Ireland, largely through the efforts of Hon. W. L. Plunket, son of the Archbishop of Dublin, The avowed aims nnd purposes of the society are some* what similar to the Grange of the American farmera, and ia full of promise for the agriculture of Inland. At a meeting of tho local branch of the South Australian Bureau of Agriculture, a member stated that he bad raised aod sold fifty pigs at a cost of leu than sixpence for feed. He had kept them in an inclosure whero tbey fed off an early orop of barley, and were then fattened on melons, the latter being a profitable food for the purpose. Sisal hemp la being ao successfully cultivated in Jamaica, tbat next year a considerable quantity ofthe fiber will be exported. The plant oan be grown on barren lands ond Impoverished soils, which aro worthless tor other crops. The climate ot the island ia very favorable to its growth and It Is destined to become a great boom to the planters. The average yearly wiue prodnotion of the world ia about eighty billion gallons, of whioh Italy, Spain and France furnish about one-tenth each, or together, about one-third of the world'a product. In Italy, where farm labor is one-third of the price it is in the United Statea, the aoil for a vineyard is turned up to a great depth, which is one reason why Italy la the finest wine-growing oountry in the world. A new machine for flax dressing hu bun brought out in Melbourne, Australia, It is very simple in construction, consisting of seven pairs of heavy fluted rollers, revolving by steam power, between which the flax is made to pus. The woody parte an thus crushed, and the flax is passed to the scutcher, which removes the broken refuse, leaving the olean fiber ready for use. The new invention fa expected to give an additional atimulous to flax culture in Australia, Lord Rosebery, the premier of Gnat Britain, maintains two dairy herds on his home farm at Mentmore. One of the herds consists largely of Kerry oows, whose milk is reserved for home consumption. The other herd, of half-breed Shorthorn cows.is kept to supply milk to Lord Roubery's depot in London, A constant supply of Euro water, from a well 200 feet deep, is ept flowing in the oow sheds, and the milk ia despatched in sealed cans to London, where it is delivered to customers twice a day. Much interest is manifested by English farmera in the beet-root augar industry. They argue that nearly seventy million dollars are sent out of the oountry for the purchase of sugar, mostly in France and Germany, while they are raising grain at an absolute lou, and large numbers of lab* orera are out of employment. They think that with proper government encouragement they oould cultivate enough beets to supply the country with sugar, while diversifying their industries and retaining the laborers on the soil. The Indian Planter's Gazette urges the pushing of Indian teas in America, u a matter of great importance to the tea planters of India. It says: " Ab the introduction of Indian tea into the United Statea on a firm increuing buia should be a cooperative enterprise, the tea gardens of India Bhould tax lhemselvse,u we proposed some time beck, so muoh person fora guarantee fund for shipping Indian teas to America, covering any loss of sale, and pushing it by the best approved methods." Algeria ia sending targe quantities of bar ley to France for the purpose of hone feeding. In the south of France it is given whole like oata, but in the middle region it is crushed, while in tne nortn of Franco where farming is more intensive,the barley U cooked It fi given mainly to heavy draft horsea, being wholly wit held from omnibus andjearriagehorses. itentersjlargoly infot he the commercial feeding stunt, but on the large tarm,a where the farmer has his own mill and engine, he grinds It himself. Bringing up Children. Then is a great responsibility resting on thou to whom childien are given to bring up to man and womanhood, and I fear that too many parent* do not realize the full meuure of thia. I alwaya bave a feel ing of reverence for a child wbo is just coming into the age when every day is a revelation of things not before known. Such a child muat be pun in heart if any human being ever wu and we ar* told "Blessed are the pun in heart, for they shall see God," aod I often think that theae little children see aod know of things that tbey forget or remember but dimly when grown up, A child's mind and moral nature is a blank tablet which Ibe parents fill with good or evil, and how very careful they should be that nothing is written there that oust sometime be erased, perhaps through pain and aorrow and alwaya leaving a scar. Obedience ehould bo insisted on from tbe beginning, aod if the word of the parent is yea or nay and tha child learns to know there will be no trouble in securing obedience without noouru to harsh measures. I have in mind a gentle little women who rules her ohildren with soft words aud gentleness, nod I never knew mon obedient children thu here. It is the rule of her life never to promUe her children anything and fail to fulfill tbe promise, and if she saya "no," sho means it. The ohildren know that they can depend on her and do not question her wisdom. Fnquently she takes pains to explain why she deniu a request ond it ia good to aee how quietly her ohildren take a denial. Theu children are polite to every one because thoir parents have always been polite to tbem, ond they do not know of any other way to conduct themselves. Children are just what w* make them and we ahould never forgot this fact. A Medicine Chest In every home should be kept out of the reach of young childnn, a medicine chest. This cheat or cabinet, which should contain several shelves and futening with a lock and key oan be made at home, or bought in any house furnishing store. It ahould contain a spoon, pair of ahaip scissors, pins, needles, thread, a roll of old linen cloths, some cotton, court plaster, a syringe, olive oil, vaseline, linseed oil, castor oil, turpentine, camphor, arnioa, blackberry cordial, peppermint (essence), ipecac, ground mustard, aulphur, flaxseed, pulverized alum and sugar. Every modi* cine should bo plainly labeled with name and size of dose. Hints For Housewives. Always cut onions, turnips snd carrots across the fiber. Salt rubbed oo the black spots on dishes will remove them. Uu o short handled paint brush to wuh the outside of window sills. If a shirt bosom or any other article hu been scorched in ironing lay it whero the bright aunshins will fait directly on it. To olean the tea or coffee pot fill It with water and put in a piece of hard soap. Set it on tbe stove and let it boil an hour. It will be as bright u new. To make clothes wash easy: Mix ono tablespoonful of kerosene oil with one pint of soft soap and soap all the white olothes j Eut them to soak over night, and you will ave very little rubbing to do. To take out mildew : Mix aoft soap with Ewdered starch, half u much ult, and tho ice of one lemon : lay it on the part, on th aides, with a brush ; lot it lie on tho grass day and night till tho stain comes out. If those women who suffer with tind aching feet could know the relief to be ob* tained frnm the use of cushions planed in front of the table where they stand when washing dishes, ironing, preparing vegetables, etc., they would lose no time in providing themselves with one or more of thwe solid comforts. They may be mad* of sevenl thicknesses of old cloth, bagging, carpeting or bono blanket, stitched together and covered with old carpet. Tbe edges should be turned in and overhanded, and the whole tacked like a comfortable. Two loops to hang it up by, complete this kitchen oomfoi t. Many women who do much sowing fnquently suffer a gnat deal from soreness of the mouth without knowing the cans*. This Is said on good authority to bo caused by biting of the thread, instead of cutting it with the aoisson. In using silk thread the danger is greatly increased, as it is often soaked in acetate of lead both to harden it and increase its weight. When this habit of biting threads becomes confirmed and muoh silk thread is used, th* consequences are sometimes very serious, even leading to blood poisoning. w Fruit Eating to Cure All Ills. "A new sooiety of cranks hu been started by a former lieutenant in the Ger man army," saya the Medical Record, "Hia name is Boeter. He is the leader ot a new 'ism', and u such Bailed reoently from San Francisco to Honolulu. The 'Fruitarians' is the name of the new society he represents, and their belief���or rather notion���is that modern civilization is full of vanities and strange notions, nnd greatly needs reforming. The members eat nothing but ripe fruit, eaohow cooked food of any kind, and drink only water. They aro to live in huts, bare of the coin- forts of civilization, and go naked. Ex- Lieut, Boeter intends to buy a large tract of land In the Sandwich Islands, or perhaps ft small island outright, for the purpose of founding a colony. em ���-! ���-. A Fish With a Torch. Scientists have recently introduced a nov elty in the animal world in the ahape of the llnophryne lucifer, but it is a deal euler to call it by ita everyday name���the torchfish. He is a deep sea fish carrying on his nose an organ whioh ho can illuminate with phos- fhorescent light or extinguish at pleasure. [o does not use his lantern to guide him on hiB pathless course in the dark depths of ocean or enable him to look around him, but when meal time comes he lights up to at track smaller fishes, whioh, mistaking the lantern for a phosphorescent insect, dart straight for It only to find their way into the capacious jaws of llnophryne lucifer. Paper ia used In Germany in the manufacture of pianos, being em ployed for all of the parts which are usually made of wood. A FLYING MACHINE. Maxim's Invention Tea If* nt Bexlrj'-A Terrlblr Agent In Warfare A despatch from London says :���Speaking of augela falling, it is certain that a machine exists whereby mortals may be raised to the skies, , , . In Bpile of scepticism from ignorant and scientific alike, the Maxim machine at Hex ley, in Kent, which hu been freely tested by expert* gathered at the recent meeting of the Britiah Association, does rise in the i-.ir.and is propelled at various planes by steam generated Irom gasoline fuel by two engines, io proportion to their weight the moat powerful ever constructed. In one minute preuun oan be Increued to ,100 pounds the square inoh, the engines making more thau 500 revolutions a minute, witli one horsepower to every two pounds of their weight, The total weight of the machine ia 8,000 pounda. It looks like a hugo bird with four immense wings. It Is more than 100 feet wide, and is propelled by two large screws resembling a ship's. Tho machine is intended for use only in war,and the engineer admits that its employment, like lhat of any other martial appliance, may bo attend ed with dituter and loss of life under unfavorable circumstances. Heissanguiue that dynamite or other agent of destruction cut from it, when hidden by the clouds and beyond reach of an enemy's guns, wilt instantly end any battle in favor of the aide using it. Although some details, it is conceded, still require further time, disinterested and competent judgment is that with the practical progress now accomplished in construction of apparatus for steering and sustaining in high currents, the prob- Ilem of the flying machine will be solved before the century is out. Early Poverty a Stimulus. To start life th* son of a poor man is en of the most beneficial things tbat could possibly happen to a boy with any vestige of energy in his nature. The invigorating br teres of sdvenlty, the bracing air of poverty, stimulate th* moneyleu young man, and givo a healthy tone to his work. Iu fighting his way in the world, he is compelled to put forth all tho power he can aggregate, or the crowd will pess him down and trample on him. Hu brain is olear, and his wits sharpened, not from choice but from necessity. The rioh man's sou, on the other hand cradled in luxury, guarded from the rude buffetiuga of the masses, and netted by his (tannts, is absolutely incapable cf defending himself; and if, by auy chance, the barrier that wealth hu placed about him should collapse, he finds himself unable to atand against tho inrushiiig stream of humanity. It will be admitted that a great proportion of the wealthy and successful men, in this country at all events, aro the sons ot iiii*ii, who, when their children were yet of tender years, suffered thu pangs of poverty. In setting his shoulder to the wheel ofthe carjin whioh the wealthy sit at ease, the poor mau develops his brain aud bis muscle by exertion. Tha rich man so long aa his riches remain, has decidedly tlie belter time ot it in the direction of the pleasures of life, but it ia when wealth ami friends desert him, that ho becomes aware of his own weakliest*, and of his inability to live by bis own exertions.

Tuesday, Oct. 16,1894, OUE NEW BOMS. This number of The Weekly News fa issued from our new Printing House at the comer ef Dunsmuir avenue and Third street-*, Union. The building has been designed and built expressly for THE NEWS and while not as large as those iiccupied bv our city contemopranes may justly be considered as convenient, and attractive. At least, it can be truthfully be said, that no town in the Province out side the leading cities can boast so fine a printing oflice. With its office front on Dunsmuir ave, and its residence front on Third street, it is, while not so imposing, ccitainingly not inferior to any structure jn the business portion ofthe town in architectural beauty and finish; and the new part of Union, or Cumbceland as it i s called, is remarkable, as a new place for its fine buildings. Mr. James Cathew was the architect and builder, and we desire to publicly thank him for correct taste, skill, and great pains he has exhib- ted in its design and finish. Without attempting to further describe it we request our friends to call and see us in our new home. We desire also to state that in removing our publishing office to Union from Courtenay we are only actuated by business reasons. While Courtenay has continued to grow and at no time has given evidence of a brighter future than now, and as the gateway belwecn Union and thc farming district, and from its central and charming position, offers much inducement as a residence place, yet such strides has Union and Cumber* land,(really one place) taken within the last year, that it is now recognized as the business centre of the district. No place in the Province can equal its present prosperty, or that gives reasonable prom* i>e of such a large per cent of increased business activity. From this point the news ofthe district can be best gathered, as well as the cream ofthe more important news of the world. We therefore expect to be able to serve Courtenay, the li.iy, the Settlement and the Islands better than ever. Mote attention will be paid to telegraph news than previously. The date ofthe paper will be changed from Wednesday to Tuesday, and in the central portions of Union and Cumberland the News will be delivered Tuesday evening by carrier. We had hoped to change the form and increase the size of the paper at this time, but think it best to await business devclopements. The contemplated change will be effected as soon as the demands upon our space require it. THS COMOX EXHIBITION. The Comox Agricultural and Industrial Kxhibition held at Courtenay last Thursday, and of which an account will be found elsewhere in our columns, was a worlhy exposition of the products of the district. The vegetables were particularly fine and well illustrated the capacity ofthe soil. In fine blooded stock the district is yet in its infancy, only a few of the farmers having paid much attention to this brarch; but it is pleasant to note that Interest in this matter is increasing The butler exhibit was also very creditable, and (here is no branch in which we are expected to make a better exhibit. The fruit shown was fair, but not extensive, In ladies' work there was a fine display. We note wiih pleasure that there was not the confusion which attend cd thc exhibition last year. While the entries were not as numerous as in 1893, thc exhibits were of a high grade as a rule, showing a decided advance. The attendance was fair but would have been much larger if sports had been provided to draw the crowd. After looking over the exhibits people want to be amused. Taken as a whole thc exhibition was a success and the management is to be con gratulated. Brevities. Dr. Hall dentist of Victoria is a guest at the Waverly House. Mrs. Samuel Cliffe, at the Bay, we regret to team, is quite ill. Any person wanting an auctioneer apply to Louis W. Fauquier. Any person wanting a loan, on long or short time apply to Louis W. Fauquier.* The trio of White Leghorn fowls which captured the blue ribbon at the Show last Thursday were hatched from eg��s obtained from James Bruce. Some of the blue ribbon butter of Cour tenay, made by "gude housewife" whose butter drew first prize last year has found its way to the table of one of our leading citizens where it is much appreciated. WAS IT POISON 1 Nanaimo, Oct 13.���An inquest was held this afternoon upon the body of Mrs Catherine Scott. Mrs Scott was taken voilenily sick a few days before her death, and from the symptons Dr. McKechme felt constrained to notify the coroner to hold an inquest. The post mortem examination revealed no traces of poison, but some irritant was. apparent. A box of rough on rats was found in the cupboard of the hnuse where she died. It had been used to some ex tent to poison mice. The jury found no conclusion from the evidence but recommended that an analysis of the stomach be made which will accordingly be done. LOSS ADJUSTED. Nanaimo, Oct 13.���The loss of Sloan and Scoit bv the late fire has been adjusted, and a big salvage sale will be com inenced Wednesday 17th when in order to clear out and make room for new importations, extraordinay bargains will be offered.
