The "Mot Worry Club" is a world with organization which has eOrne into unusual prominence by weason of its connection with. the Halley comet. Most of Its members are born "must Worriers." Others mere- ly acquire the habit. Now that the comet'S tail has ;switched the earth without hurting anybody, the mem.* bers will have to secure a new sub - yea for consideration, and there is Ito danger of their not finding one. Nature does not continually provide such plums as comets, but the club can always find some nice little pick- ings, such as June frosts, failure of the potato crop, and the possibility of an earthquake or two. It is writ- ten in the constitution of the "Iduet Worriers" that every, member must carry on an aggressive campaign for the discovery of new worries and the addition of new worriers to the club membership. The "Must Worry Club" is contin- ually on the lookout for troubles 'which never arrive. There i1 never a glorious sunset but it mistakes it :for the reflection of a holocaust. It es so busy running away from sorrow that it has no time to taste the de- lights of joy. "A primrose by the river's brim" is not even a primrose to the members. Most likely they have heard somewhere that some one once said that it wars possible that prim- roses were poisonous. To members of that estimable organization, "life," as the saying goes, "is just one blame thing after another." The "Must Worriers" would be immensely relieved today that the comet's tail was as innocuous as scieatists predicted it to be, were they not already engrossed in looking for something else to worry about. Some of them sat up all night before they could convince themselves that nothing would happen, mid even then OW jumped an inch or two when ,they heard the milkman slam the side gate. A few, perhaps, were so sure or so excited that they ne- glected to put the tickets out; they scurried down with ithem in the early dawn, For the "Must Worriers," today was the "morning after." 'They had the regulation dark brown taste in their mouths. Their nerves had been on a spree. And the stimulant they, will take will be More Worry about Somahing Els. The doctors will tell them, that they have neurasthenia. As a matter of fact, that is just the scientific name. for the lamentable malady which afflicts all pillars of the "Must Worry Club." Specialists charge big prices for treating neuras- thenics, but all their prescriptions are worth not one snap of the fingers un- less their patients quit the iclub for. good, and absolutely renounce their membership in it. "Don't worry" is the cure for many an ill which thriv- es on drugs and defies the doctors.— Toronto Star. The Importance of Pruning. The importance and advantages of pruning are strongly set forth by 0. B. Whipple in a recent bulletin of the Colorado Experiment Station, as fol- lows : Many and varied are the ex- cuses offered .by the man who owns an unpruned orchard ; he is ashamed of the neglected trees and tries to jus- tify himself by advancing what he considers, or more likely what he tries to persuade himself, is a good reason. Ono holds that pruning is little short •of. sacrilege, contrary to the laws of nature ; another tells of his fend rec- ollections of c'hildhood and what ex- -cellent fruits he picked from the old apple tree, pruned alone by nature ; another 'says it does not pay, and in his partieular case it does not; for the chances are that the orchard is neg- lected otherwise. The only excuse :that has any sem- blance of justiffcatioe is that of • ig- norance, and that does tot extuse the man who makes no attempt. Nature's object is the production of seed with provision for its distribution, and she is satisfied when a cherry is prfluced, volth enough flesh to :attract a fruit - loving bird that may, _perchance, drop the seed- far from theparent tree. Man. grows the fruit for its fleshy parts and tites .to improve these parts as much by placing the p'eant.. in. a more favorable environment as by plant breeding and selection. The man who cannot afford to prune can- not afford to grow fruit,. and the man who does net know how to prune must learn ; the principles .are. not .corepli- cated.—Farm and Dairy. . • . • • The Care of Young Turkegs. I am just starting in the turkey raising business and would like some 'eseeintstruetions through Farm and Dairy. I have one turkey hen set, and a number of hens. What is the best feed for them? How can I prevent lice? How can I prevent diseases that beset young turkeys? Is it bet- ter to let young turkeys run with the turkey hen, or keep them in a pen?, I. N., Norfolk Co., Ont. The young turkeys may receive their first meal on the second nay after hatching. On one point all turkey growers agree : No sloppy food must be given the young birds. In a nat- ural state, turkey chicks feed largely upon flits:), spiders,grasshoppers, grubs; snails, slugs, 'worms, ant eggs, etc., and if watched on a bright day will be seen to be constantly chasing flies, etc., about the meadows and -woods. Berries, seeds, etc., make the variation. The first' meal should be hard baled eggs (boiled 20 minutes), and stale wheat bread dipped in hot milk, the milk squeezed out, and both crumbled fine and seasoned with black Pepper. Substitute for Insects. This feed may be continued for two or three weeks ivithenow end Oen , a variation to thick cottage cheese (made from sour skim milk) in piece of the egg. The egg is a substitute for insect:), which the young turkey has in its wild state ; so as opportun- ities open for the chicks to get in- sects, the eggs should he matted. Dry meal must not be given them, nor wet meal insufficiently swelled. If the meal swelle in their crops, death is almost certain. The best way to feed meal is in the form of "Johnny cake." After the young birds are three weeks old omit the eggs and give meat scraps and ground bone. Clean water or milk must be before them all the time. Attack the Lice.

But, taken altogether, clover presents a good appearance at present, more especially in the case of new mead.- ows, and enters upon the growing ions existing at the beginning of May: The warm weather of March started vegetation unusually scon—from three to four weeks earlier than usual. The latter half a April, however, was very wet and cold, and further ad- vance was much retarded, the result being that May opened with growth, a week or two 'ahead of the average, and period with the promise of a goad three weeks or a Month in advance of last year.

The good corn crop of last year also helped farmers to save on hay, and grain in fear% live stock. Straw has been scarce and dear. The high prices of- fered for grate tempted some to sell rather too freely, while others were endeavoring to make even more by feeding for pork and beet, which have been realizing top figures. The early grass was a boon, to owners of live stock, owing to the high cost of all Rinds of feed. In moot districts there is a sufficiency Of hay, oats' wheat, efc., for any emergency, butas most of these commodities are now fed to live stock commanding Unusually high prices, ,it is more or less of a guess whether any present scarcity of these should be taken as a sign of the tim- es or prosperity. TO Wm up, the general tone of the reports regarding fodder supplies is much more cheer - Jul than those of more recent years. Spring Sowing. Field operations) have been the earl- iest for mane years. Most of the plowing had been done in. the fall, and owing to the mild winter but little frost reipained in the ground alter the snow went away early in March. The latter part of that month and the first two weeks of 'April were epen and comparatively warm, and an ine- Meow amount of sowing was then done, in some districts everything be- ing practically completed but the get- ting in of peas, corn and roots. The seed bed of. spring grains, generally speaking, was excellent, the catch was unusually good, and the new crops were making a very early and most promising showing as correspondents wrote. The /atter pert of April, hoWever, turned out.to be almost continuously, wet, the rainfall being about double that of the normal, while the temperature remained so.. low during that period as almost to Live Stock, check growth.

Time was when popular cpinton itt the United States tended to regard Jack Canuck as a hewer of wood and a drawer of water for Uncle Sam. But certain expressions of opinion of a contrary sort that are now contin- ually cropping up in the American press show that this attitude to- wards Canada is fast giving way. Here is a sample from the editorial columns of the American Porestty Journal : "Canada is measuring her timber resources and preparing to protect them by progressive and drastic measures against exploitation for the benefit of wasteful foreign countries, including her next door neighbor.

Scott's Brother Buried at • Quebec, It is not generally known to Canadians that among the almost innumerable things of historic interest in Quebec is the grave of Sir Walter Smote's; bro- ther, Major Thomas Scott , who was PHYOInateP ili EL M.700 regiment eta - tinned in Canada, and who passed away in 1823. His body was buried in St. Matthew's churchyard in the heart of the old city of Quebec, which was then the common burying .ground of all the Protestant COnln)untons there. Bv 1860 it had become so overcrowed that burials except. in family mauso- leutns were prohibited, and later bur- ials of any kind ceased. The cemetery fell into neglect, but about a quarter of a century ago united action was taken to pot it in decent order. The grave of Major Thomas Scott is marked by a very simple stone. In connection with, his otherwise un- distinguished career, it is 'interesting to note that at the tinie of anonymous publication of "Waverly" the literary circles of Edinburgh generally attribut- its authorship, and that of succeeding novele, to him and not to Sir Walter, This declusion the latter, who long strove to preserve his anonymity, was not unwilling to foster. One distin- guished personage. Lord Wdliarn Len- nox on the other hand stated that it was confidently believed in England that the novels were written by the wife of Maker Thomas Scott, who prior to her marriage was. a Miss McCulloch and a skilful.writer. Lord Lennox had met her at Kingston, in Upper Came - da, in 1819, when he was in this coun- try with his father, the Doke of Rich- mond, one of the early Governors. He seys that many of the officers of the 70th reginsent attributed the novels to her. According to the Queliec Tele- graph, which reeentlV went into the matter, Sir Walter Suggestedto his brother that he write a book on Cana. da, dealing with the herdships of the early settlement days here and with the incidents of Quebec society, but nothing came of it. profitably than 'other crops, in order that our oWn future may be assured. This is the only way. Canada has not the resources for her own needs and ours too, and 'she is sufficiently wide awake and intelligent to guard her own; The only way that otir tim- ber resources and Canada's can be made inexhaustible is by the applica- tion oi the highest scientific know. ledge and the broadest common sense." Canned Eggs From Russia. Londen, Ont., April "two -ton shipment el. 'canned eggs' "has been 'received in thecity by "wholesale confectioner, and has ."been placed in told storage. The 1 .

The above despatch, which appeared recently in a ;lumber of our Canadian papers, shows the tremendbus change that is faking place in agricultural conditions in this country. Forte or fifty years ago our farm produce Was practically all sold on our local mar- kets. Later we were forded to find an outlet for our surplus produce on the British market, where our goods entered into competition with those of foreign countries. Now we find that foreign nations are beginning to eon" - • The time has Come 'when we can no longer be satisfied with conducting our farm operations in a manner "just as good" as our farm neighbors; We have got to conduct our affairs "just as good" and bata, if possible, than our foreign competitors. .

S. Viewpoints., Strength of British Throne. From the Providence Journal. Those writers who insist that the principle of hereditary in' narchy is likely to be endangered in England if the House of Lords persists inrefusing tamely to submit to the demands of the present Government should care - folly lead recent utterances by Eng- lishmen who cannot be accused of any predilection for aristocratic ideas. At- tention was called a day or two ago to the speech of Mr, Crooke, the Social- istleader, in which he said that "we like to feel that he (the King), is above us all, and to look up to bine" The Socialists, that is tosay, in spite of their views regarding human equality, believe in the exemption of the head of the State from the levelling pro- cess, Mr. Philip Snowden, one of the leading Laborite meoahers of Parlia- ment, says that "we are a democratic party, not republicans." And he adds, "No member of the Labot party at. tacks the monarchy," That both Mr. Crookes and Mr. Snowden express the feelings of their associates there is no reason to doubt. It Is natural, of course, that Americans should have a certain difficulty in . understanding why Englishmen even of pronounced democratic views should manifest no desire for a tepubliean form of govern- ment. In some respects the. .British Parliament is more nearly in touch with popular sentiment than Congress. It might almost be said that there is far greater degree of alienation be- tween classes in the United Settee than in Great Britain. But even those Englishmen who resent hereditary privileges do not resent the idea of kingship. The whole House of Lords might beswept away without affect- ing the stability of the throne. There is, it may be, a lack of logic in such an attitede. But the development of the British Constitution has no been by logical processes. The only question Englishmen ask is, "Will it work?" On the one occasion when England tried to get along without a king it was found not to work. Cannel Coal at Mattagami. North Bay May la—Since the open - ing of navigation the reported coal fields along tlse Mattagami River, north .west of Cochrane, have been visited by a number of exploripg pert - ie., and the reports coming ,out are very encouraging. R. E. G. Burrows'who took a party in for the New Lisiceard syndicate, has jnst returned with excellent samples of cannel coal. lie staked ten claims enjoining the T. and N. 0.

The members of the syndicate are highly elated over the SUCCeSS of the expedition, and samples of the coal, which indicate that the somalled lignite deposits over the real article are much sought after. R. Horschitz of Pittsburg, Pa., has staked four claims for an American syndicate, and brought out samples of cannel coal, besides reportiug evidence of petroleum. R. J. Flatterty is prospecting with a party in Mettagatni district for the United States Steele Corupany, and prospectors who have met Flatterty state thanhe is • very much pleased with the showings and claims to have discovered large deposits of coal, iron, and salt. The Mattagami Coal Mining Cone piny comprised of North Bay business men, have 'eight coal claims, and are very optimistic as to the results.

New Haven, Conn.; May 15,—A theological sensation has been created in t•lie adoption of a new profession of faith by the Centre Congregational Church of this city, which omits the apostles' creed and all reference to the divinity of Christ. The present pastor, Rev. Oscar E. Maurer, is a young man from the west; who is a recent graduate of the Yale Divinity School. Last night he thus explained the adoption of the new artiele of faith : enVe shall try to make the form a statement of religious purpose rather than a confession f alt of technical questions of theology in which the layman has at best only a remote interest.' All that is essential to the faith of a man who nielieves in God the Father Almighty, as revealed iu -the life and character of Jesus Christ, and • who desires to live a life of righteousness as eiremplifled by Him and is willing to serve his fellowmen. will be included. But a canniate for church will not, and ought not to be, asked to assert to the dogmatic state- ments which Are sometimes imposed as tests of fitness for admission to the Christain Church. "So•far as the omission of the apostles' creed is concerned, members onCentre Church are aware of the fact that that et eed was not used in the church until 188I, when the lase revi- sion of the chuech's confession took place, This omission of the creed from the new form will therefore he itt line with the past history of the church rather than a break.in its traditions." A . Funny Story. One of the funniest stories about Chinamen is not really Chinese. It was told by a British Consul at ane of the treaty sports. He arrested nine Jelin, quent Chinese, intenditig to turn them over to the tender mercies of the native magistrate next morning. Meanwhile Lie gave them into the custody of a Chinese policeman telling him to lock them up, thoug!ti there was 80 jail at the erinsulete. Bu e the policeman was equal to the emergency. He sol- emnly saluted, saying: obey!" and marched his men off. Soon he return- ed and announced that they were safe- ly caged. The consul was cut•tous to see how and where.
