In the twenty-six principal cities and towns in Canada. which nmlce monthly returns to the Department of Agriculture -in Ottawa•therc were, in the totals, 320 more deaths in June than iu flay ;—the returns being 1,323 for May and 1,552 for June. This runs up the mortality from the rate of 94 per 1,000 of population, per, annum, in May, to over 27 per 1,000 in June, or an increase for the mouth of about 13 per cent. This high rate of mortality was chiefly' owing to. the exceptionally. higlt death -rate in Montreal, which gave an increase in June, as com- pared with May, of over 50 - per cent. This high rate in Montreal was largely cluo it appears to the 'deaths of infants in till; foundling hospit- als there, and Dr. Hingstou, of that city, has stated that of these Ottawa had contributed largely. In Toronto the mortality fell from 21 per 1,000 of population in May, to 17 in June. In Quebec city there was an increase in the sante period, from 22 to 25 -per: 1,000. Iu Iiamilton the mortality was lower in Juue than in May by over 50 per cent. • In Halifax there was a fall of over 10 per cont. In Ottawa and St. John (N. 11) the • irate was about the same in June as in May. In Loudon there was au increase of 20 per cent, iu the mor- tality. Iu Kingston there was a fall of 20 per cont.

From zymotic (epidemic) diseases there was an increase lin the totals in June over May of about 130 per cent.; or_ from a total of 1`9, 0- in May to 438 in June. This great in- crease was due to agroator mortality front diarrhoeal affections, and chief- ly in Montreal. No deaths from small -pox have been recorded in the Dominion dur- ing, the past year ending Juno 301,11. In the tuortality from measles there was still a further decline, there being a total of only eight deaths recorded iu .lune, while there were fourteen in May.. Again only one death was recorded from scarlet fever, which occurred in Montreal. While from diphtheria there \Was an increase in the mortality of May over April, there was a decline in Juno to a number below that of April; there being 75, 80 and 72 deaths respectively in the three months. Of these, Montreal con- tributed 26; Toronto 10; Quebec,. 7; Ottawa, 5. Nit more than two deaths from this cause were *regis- tered in any other place:' From diarrheas, the total number of deaths increased from 35 in May to 319 in June.

An experiment rare, if not unpre- cedented, was tried on jubilee day at Liss, a village on the London and" Southwestern railway in Hampshire. It consisted in boiling a bullock whole, in addition to ono ioastod the evening before. A hole dug in the ground was built over with bricks. Into the latter was built a tank, and into the tank was lowered the car- cass, placed within a case formed by iron bars, to which' ohuint, wore at- tached. Pulleys fro'ni a scaffolding immediately above raised and low- ered the ox, of which the head and carcass were sewn up separately in strong canvass. Carrots were boiled with it, and potatoes enclosed` in hags, making gallons of rich soup. The fat was removed from the car- cass before boiling. At 5:20 p. m. the carcass, which had been boiled about seven hours, was raised frojn the tank, two bands playing "God Savo the Queen" and "Rule Britannia" on the scaffolding above. It was placed on a Large bier -like vehicle and carried ou the shoulders of twelve Wren to the place where it was to be cut up, the bands playing, in front. A beautiful wroath and flags were placed over the ox, and the gentlemen who gave the bullock, the butcher, and an as- sistant, were borne along with 'it oyer the heads of the crowd: The moat was pronounced excellent, and was certainly well cooked. Thee huge knife and fork used ou this occasion wore especially manufactur- ed for the purpose in the village. BRAN AS CATTLE FOOD Clioniistry Prof Jellies, of the Ontario Agricultural College, from his analysis' of bran arrives at the following practical conclusions :- 1. Bran is a concentrated food, which, though variable in composi-• tion, possesses high nutritive value. 2. Roller -process bran is, on the average; richer that' old -process bran. 3. Its excess of ash or mineral Matters eminently fits it for hone- builcliug in growing animals, and for supplementing the tach: -of min- eral matter's in roots. 4. Its chemical composition points to the conclusion that it is some- what better adapted -1e the forma,tion- uf fat incl production 1bf heat, than to the formation of muscle or of mill:. 5. Both its chemioat",.composition and its Physical form adapt it ad-' mirably as a supplementary food to bo used iu oonnectiou with poor and bulky .fodder, such as straw and roots. • 6. Its manurial or fertilizing value alone repays its cost. ' 7. By retaining and feeding the bran upon the farm, the objection to selling the grain. is partly over- come, viz., the exhaustion of the soil, since the brim retains most of the mineral matters which cannot he derived from the air. THE 'OIMIGIN OF BOWING. The origin of bowing, says an -ex- change, as one 'of the examples 'of human ceremony is derived from the habit of your dog, who, when he meets a bigger dog, rolls over and grovels at his feet. In canine panto- mime the,, smaller dog says to the bigger: "I ani your very obedient humble servant. Let me alone, you mighty conqueror, and go and fight bad Zdogs who won't acknowledge your obvious superiority as well as I do." 'We take off our hats for rea- sons pretty siinilar to those which in- duce us to bow and scrape. It means : "Don't take my hat as a spoil. I give it up, and as for that, here is my head and neck at your disposal." There is servile flattery in many of these things spoken and written, as your "humble servant," a modified form of the Hindu conclu• sion to a letter—tryout' slave." But subserviency in speech and action is to be taken in exact eonverse with true politeness and ,courtesy. In China the exalting of the guest and the self-abasement of the host mean nothing. Fine phrases sound pretty enough, but the .English. "Il:ow do you do ?" and the answer, -,Pretty well," are 'sufficient for our civiliza- tion, and "tbe zeta sympathy and friendliness between man and man is a thousand times greater than it can ever be among all the flowery phrases of the Celestial empire." —On .Monday t► field of uncut hay on the farm of Mr. George Anderson, near Milton, wee. ignited by e spark fron, the eugine of' a C.

Silence tiffi Dominion general elections of February last four cou- teste havo taken place. •(1) In East Bruce Mr. Cargill (Conservative) was elected by a vote of 2,182 to 1.812' over Mr. It. N. Wells (Liberal.) Dlr. Cargill hav- ing neglected to resign the position of postmaster, which he hold, was disqualified at the time of the elec- tion. A new election took place on the 2nd of April, with the for= lowing result : Cargill (Conserva- tive), 2,009 ; Ti'usx (Liberal), 1886. (2) In South Victoria Mr. Huds- peth (Conservative) was sleeted in February by a vote -of 1,914 to 1,867 over Mr. Lownsborough (Liberal), but as he was disqualified 'by being a Revising Officer for the North Riding he resigned. A now election took place on the 22nd of April, resulting in another victory for Mr. Hudspeth. The vote stood, Huspe'th, 1,927; Needier, 1,873. (3) The death of Mr. Moffat, member for Restigouche,. N. S., made a vacancy in that constituency. At the general election he defeated his opponent, Mr. Hardow, by a vote of 420 • to 293. A brother of the deceased member was nomin- ated by the- Conservatives to fill the vacancy. The Liberals did not venture to put a candidate • ill the field, and the result was Mr. Moffat's election by acclamation. (4T The fourth election •was in Digby, N.

On the trip of tine steanlev from Portland, Oregon, ,to New West - minister, British Columbia, ' there was a gentleman from Maine, evi- dently a man of intelligence and, wide travelling. Ho was fnterestetl iu the canneries and the fishing, and as usual with stranger.,, asked quos- ' tions of his fellow travellers cotl- cerniugthe industry.

"Weil, the lamest 1 ever heard of weighed 19;4 pounds," answered the Yankee. "T did not see the fish; out I h:,ve no doubt in . the world that it weighed as stated, • nearly 20 pounds." Sheppard said .nothing, but when tlhe boat reached New West minister 'lie took th.e stranger to a G4tnoidian smell ry• It happened that- about two hundred extra fine fish had been brought in that atm -soon, ten or more weighing fifty pounds F!ach, and very few Tess than thirty.

Now, a word about the great curs(; of the laboring man—strong drink. Had I 10,000,000 tongues, and a throat for each tongue, I would say to each man, woman and child hero to -night :—"Throw strong drink aside as you would an ounce of poll.'' It sears the conscience, it destroys everything it ,touches, it reaches into the family -circle and takes the wife you have sworn to protect and drags her down froth her piuniclo of purity into that house from which no decent woman ever goes alive. It induces the father to take the furniture from his house, exchange it fo • money at the pawn shop aud speuff the pro- ceeds in rum. It damns everything it tenches. I havo seen ev rr city east of the Missisippi, aud I know that the most damning curse to the laborer is that which gurgles from the neck of the bottle. I had rather -be at the head of an organi- zation having 100,000 temperate, honest, earnest men than at the head of an organization of 12,000,030 drinkers, whether moderate or any other hind.

"It don't matter," says Paddy, "you shan't come in here.' and with that, lifting the poker, ho said, "if you corse in here, I'll knock you down." Most then would have retired, or tried to reason ; the doctor did neither, but drawing .himself up to his full height, and looking the Irishman fair in the face, he said, "Come, not; that's too'bad ; would you strike a man unarmed 1 Hand me the tongs, then .ave shall be on equal terms." The Irishman looked upon Bial in great amazement, and said; "Och, sure, yer a quare man for a minister, come inside ;" and, feeling rather ashamed of his conduct, the laid down his poker. The doctor entered and talked, as he could so well do, in a way both so entertaining and so instructive as to win the admiration of the mau, so that when he arose to go, Paddy shook his hand warmly, and said, "Be shuts, sii', don't pass lily door without giving mo a call."
