The first session of the eleventh par. Ilameut of Canada was prorogued Wednesday afternoon of lest week, by his Excellency the Governor Genera), with the usual pomp and circumstance. The session, which has lasted just four menthe, has been one of the shortest in many years, and, with the exception of the debate on the question of Can- ada's part in naval defenc), has been pethape one of the most uneventful. In all a hundred and sixty-one bills have been p eased, of which some forty have been Government measures. There seem to be eome who defend divorce by Senate committee, not be - cense it, raises a high standard in the matter of evidence, but beoanee it makes divorce diffiouit and costly to get, no matter what the evidence may be. The meaning of this is that a rich woman can got a divorce when a poor woman cannot. Those who oppose divorce al- together are in a logical and repeated position; but those who propose to make it a luxury for the wealthy, instead of a rare act of justice equally available for all citizens, neither exemplify login nor command respeot.—Montreal Star. Agriculture is stili the basin indus- try of Oanada, and likely to remain so for all time, though other forms of natural wealth will make the Dominion one of the greatest manufacturing countries of the world. The area of occupied farm land in Canada last year was 78,486,000 acres, the vain° of which is estimated at $2,800,000,000. In the same year the area of field crops was 27,500,000 acres, with a product value of $432,534,000, white the value of five stook on farms and ranches was 5531,000,000. Every year sees great additions to the area under Cultivation. Within the next decade the figures may be doubled. Whatever else the eleotions made clear they demonstrated that if one member of Parliament wants to con- demn another on moral grounds he "unit stand up and make hie charge like a man cr.:d a Parliamentarian. This the present Opposition have never dared do. Whether this be the cause or not the heart seems to have gone out of the gay buccaneers who for the past few sessions carved and hacked at every man's repu- tation as the evil spirits moved them. In part the diaoonragement is no doubt due to Choir decreased numbers, Kr. Fow- ler, Dir. Bennett, Mr. Bergeron, Mr, Oookshntt are no more in camp, and they were all experts in that particular brand of hostilities.—Edmonton Bul- letin. REMARKS OFA RAMBLER. To the Editor of the Tams: Dear Sir,—In taking a stroll through the country and comparing general ap- peeranees with ten or twelve years ago, one sees many improvements, and yet tlome places are going bank. Passing a farm we were familiar with and often admired, ten years ago there was a row Iwo'°" of abont twenty oherry trees from the road to the house; they were a picture When in bloom or Iater laden with fruit to -day, the stumps aro there. When the Scotch farmer died, the trees ware neglected, black knot took poeeesaion and rained them. About two hours each year would have saved them. . , . Lambe are numerous this year; we noticed 6 ewes and 10 Iambs in one :flock Many fields of oats and' peas are nicely up, and the Work of onitiveting the land seams to have better attention than formerly; stones picked, fonees neat and in good repair. A num- 1 • ber of fields of good clover, principally alfalfa, with lucerne and redtop, were alto in evidence.

Yew wonienlreaoh the age of fifty without enduring much suffering and anxiety. Between the years of forty five and fifty health becomes fickle and conte weaknesses arise with rheumatic attacks, pains in the baok and sides, frequent headaches, nervone ailments and depression of spiritp. The sooret of good health between fortyflve and fifty depends upon the blood supply, If it is kept rich, red end pare, good health will be the re- sult, and women will pass this critical usage in safety. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills help women of mature years as no other medioine can, for they make the rich, red blood that means go.. health, and brings relief from auff:riug. Mrs. O Donavon, Newcastle. •..13., says:— "About two years ago I as greatly run down and very miser. +le. I did not know what we wron • with me. I was *rdiy able to . : g yeelf about, had severe headaoh: and no appetite. I felt so wretched that I hardly oared whether I lived or not. I had often read of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had done for others and I deoided to try them, and I can now truthfully say I toned them all they are recommended as be. Under their use my health gradually came bank; I could eat better, Weep better and felt stronger in every way, and before long I was enjoying as good health as ever I bad done."

Dear Sir,—Three stanzas of rough doggerel, entitled, "Reflections on the Dandelion," appeared in some of the Toronto papers reoently, and were esolated into one of our local papers. They were evidently written by some ane, who is either ignorant or lacking in taste, or else bitterly prejudiced against this wild flower. May I crave space fora few words in defense of the "gold among the green." The dandelion be- longs to the largest, oldest and most widely diffused order of plants. While many orders of plants have died out and bee.me mere fossil remains in the rooks, this order has survived the geological ohaeges of many different periods, be- cance it possessed the power of adapting itself to these ohanges. We find mem- bers of the order in overy part of the world. It is the dominant order of vegetable life, the most entirely success. ful family of plants. It is found only where man is found, and where he dwells and cultivates the sail. It fol• louts him wherever he goes, America, Aaeiralia, New Zealand, it is the con• etant companion and unchanging fol. lower of man in all his wanderings. The dandelion is generally Iooked upon ar a mean, insignificant weed, that ob- tradea itself upon the lawns, gardens sad meadows where it is not wanted. Men take the utmost pains and use their best endeavor to root it out and destroy it. And yet it is described by all natur- abate, as a far higher type of plant life them the rose or the lily, than even a eedar, an oak or a palm. It's flowers sae more perfectly formed, and it's type of structure is more highly organized, than these beantifaI dowers and magnifi. Gent trees. In the spring, it is amongst oar earliest wild Bowers. Dotted over the grass an our lawns, along the edge of the pavements in our streets, on essry bit of waste ground, it unfolds its nanny blossoms. It ie not niggardly of its beauty, nor proudly aristooratio as to its aseooiatione, blit it gives to the poor and rich alike, the brightness and beseaty, the gold and glory of its bloom. ing. I have seen many beautiful eights in my life time, but one of the moot beieatifn), was a bank of the finest eland°lions, massed in large beds agatnat a background of the most brilliant green. That is a picture I shall never forget. May God open the eyes of the people that they may see the beauty of our common roads, in the scattered gold of the dandelion. It is one of the meet beautiful creations of God's artiatio flngare, Yours, a Nature Lover, W. G. I3oW6ox. Live Stock Markets. West Toronto, May 24.—(Speoial.)— There was a noticeable absence of the big export buyers again to -day at the If :sten Stook Yards. This fact, in addi• tion to the extraordinary demands made by many of the drovers, made trade e.'ow and uninteresting this morning.
