Mr. Bok emphasizes these utterance and goes farther by saying: "The fact eanuot be disputed that no single factor in modern life is doing so mtluoh to de- generate our young womanhood as this mad race on the part of girls impelled by necessity or not to go to the business world. These may sound like strong weeds to the ears of some, but to those who are really cognizant of the immensity of the evil. result that are being wrought, they will simply lit the case and not go beyond it. In altogether too many of our,comluercial and indus-; trial establishments, stores and fact - whielt the doors of Patronism are proposed to be opened to other pro- fessions besides that of the farming and working class. The motion was handled without gloves, which shows that the moment the Patron organ', zation ceases to bo a Farmers' associa- tion, that moment many of its warmest supporters will withdraw from the order. Many other ques- tions concerning the vital interests of the order were discussed very warmly and ably by those present. The following officers were dniy elected for the *current year : C.

Tun HORSE MUST Go.—One or the seietific problems .of the nine- teenth century is the invention of a horseless carriage and results so far have been so satisfactory that not many years will elapse before motive power will displace the horse. In the Cos- mopolition for February, T. A. de 'Weese says: "We are told that the bicycle and trolley ear have almost sealed the horse's doors and that the pertectiou of the horseless vehicle will witness his ultimate obliteration from the face of the earth. The eventual disappearance of the horse is a proposition from which true horse lovers will most emphatically dissent "un til"the inventors are able to endow inanimate mechanism ' with horse sense. So far experiments seem to have run in the direction of steam and naphtha, but het,rly elcetricity is bringing goodresults. The French claim to be the pioneers of the horse - less, carriage, although England elaims• to have produced one in 1827 but the law was so stringent against the use of • such a vehicle that the inventors did not continue the ex- perimenting. Gasolene wagons were seen in the streets of Baltimore in 1891. A successful molocycle was made in Peoria, Ill., in 1895, and an etectrie b; ako exhibited in Bolton in the same year. The "Eleetrobat" by Morris & Salom, of Philadelphia, is perhaps the most successful, having run hundreds of mi'os in that city."
