Mr. R S. Lang of this place, clai:lns

In our last issue we stated' of being

It is a solemn fact that three out of
every five people chew their food on
the left side of the mouth. ;If this is
persisted in, the mouth will soon begin
to cant to the left, the chin to sharpen
off, and in time the- average man will
be able to nip his left ear with his teeth.

An English clergymen, who had not
got along very well with his congrega-
tion, received the appointment of chap-
lain to a large penitentiary. It was
not' what he said in los farewell sermon

The Horseman, of Chicago, Ill., a
conservative journal on equine topics
pays the following compliment to Can-
ada in its last issue: "It is not an ex
aggertion to say that in none of our
States is the breeding interest becomn-
ing`more firmly established and mak-
ing greater comparative -progress at
present than in Canada. The move-
ment is general all along therine, from
the sandstone headlands that are wash-
ed by the Gulf of St. Lawrence to ` the
boundless' plains of.'the 'Great Loan
Land. Many pacts: of the Eastern prov-.
inces are as admirably adapted to the
breeding business as the rich province
of Ontario, the bettersections of which
in agricultural wealth will compare
favorably* wu1 any of the States. A
tide of geed blood has steadily poured
across the borders, -' and now almost
every county in the.Donii►tion has its
well-bred stallion, and on many farms
are gilt-edged, matrons. But good
tracks and good trainers ale scarce in
Canada., and progressmustl be made in
this regard before eztreme`,speed will
be seen in the Northland. :That; pro-
gress will be made is sure. 'Never was
there as much racing; in Canada as
during the season :just :closing, ' and
good tracks and good• trainers are but
the natural developments; of racing.
Nelson and ` Alvin have' 'shown that
great speed can beproduced in lands
that are snowciad in winter, and no
doubt in time other.Alvins will come
across the line to show that ourneigh
bors are not idle with the blood that we
have sent them."

All Hallows Eve.
That will be next Friday, the even -
proceeding All Saint's day. This is the
eve upon which love-lorn young ladies
go out singly to some secluded place,
taking a handful of hemp .seed which
they scatter' along' the road saying,
"Hemp seed, 1 sow thee, hemp seed, I
sow thee; he who is to be my true love,
appear now and show thee;" It is also
the eve upon which young lads do not.
go out singly, but in squads and kick
up dog generally without any particu-
lar invocation to the saints.
The Fall` Wheat.
It is said that a much larger acreage
of fall wheat has been sown this season
than has been the case in any season
for theasp five years. The crop as a
pP
whole, is said to look very well, having
been got in in good time in land' gena
erally well prepared. Indeed, the e
perience of the last few years has shown
that attention must be paid to under
draining, and to the proper preparation
of the land, if fall wheat is to be made
a profitable crop; and this is a lesson
which fanners generally are beginning
to apply. If the winter proves favor
able, the chances are in favor of a
great fall ♦wheat crop in Huron iu 1,891.

PP m.
-
Daw. It appears Mr. William Piper
was about to do some* varnishing at
the premises of Mr. Geo. Smallacornbe,
and had plateal a varnish pot full of
varnish on the stove to warm, and Mrs.
Daw, seeing it N segettfr gi to hot,went
to remove it and when so doing the
bottom dropped off allowing the varn-
ish to run all over the top of the stove
and on her dress, which in an instant
took fire, and before the flames could
be extinguished she was badly burned.
Mr. Pipers' hands wore badly burned in
trying to free her from her terrible pre-
dicament.
now to Destroy Stumps.
A good authority gives these recipes:
Bore a hole "1 inch in duameter, 18 inch
es deep,into thecenterof the surnp,and
put in 1 ounce of saltpeter, ,liltingeup
with water and plugging: up the hole.
This should be done in the fall. In the
spring the plug is to be taken out, a
half a gill of kerosene poured into ,.the.
hole and set on fire. It will burn ;out
the stump to the farthest root. In the
fall bore a hole 1 inch in diameter, 10
inches deep, into the centre of the
stump, and put in a half pound. of 'yip
roil and plug very tight. In the
spring ,the whole stump and rgiits
through all their ramification will be
so rotted as to be easily'removed. '

In a certain Western newspaper of-
fice theentlem, n whose „ ti t e business it is
to record the fluctuations of the live
stocK marsct sits across from the.
young man to whose lotit falls to re-
port wedding ceremonios. Both are
trraphic wiiters,and enjoy that latitude
of expression characteristic of Western
journalism. Both use the same sind
paper, and their penmanship is not un-
rise. Not long ago the wedding re-
porter was suddenly called out of the
office and left in the middle of the table
several sheets of paper, on which was
a description of a fashionable wedding.
These sheets were gathered by the
live sto writer ci. w lei when he finishedhis
C
report, and the two stories •became
mixed. This is what the zealous care
of a proof reader, later in the .evening,
saved -from reaching the public eye:
"The church was elaborately` decor-
ated with holly' and evergreen, and.
the alter vras hidden in a wealth of
flowers. Out of the recess rose rare
tropical plants, and from the ceiling
hung 15 Western weals; which at this
time of the year arescarce and corres--
pondingly dear at 5 to 8i cents per lb.
There was ,also an active demand for
choice lambs, and, farmers of the Miss-
issippi River can profitably turn to
sheep raising and taxe the bride, who
wore a gown of white • corded silk, a
creation of Worth's, with `•pearl erna-
ments
"Then came the maid • of honor, the
cousin of the bride, Miss Henrietta
Blower of Chicago, wearing a dress of
White tulle with diamond ornaments,
and she was followed by a small bunch
of Montana sheep, which bleated most
piteously as they were driven on hoard
and shipped to the winter hotels in
Bermuda: They .will there be cut en
train and slightly decolletee, end after
the rest of the party had reached the
rail the minister turned and said 'im-
pressively, tI cannot bid more than hes
cents for State seals, but cablegrams
from London quote refrigerated beef
at a price that wilt enable me to pa.,*
$4.00 for a car of choice Indiana beeves,,
and hearing this there was a rush for
the young . married couple and the
bride fell into the arms of her father,
who is known to bear a striking re-
semblance to a Connecticut ox • weighs
ing 1875 pounds. The market here
took an upward turn, and the guests.
who numbered about 200, were served
with a sumptuous dinner.at tht house
of the bride."
