The Minister of Agriculture intim ate. that advices have been received fruen the agent in Great I,ritain of the 1 Dominion Ilepartmeut of Agriculture, saying there is a good demand in Great Britain for wellfattened turkeys. of gond size. He advises the making of small shipments early In November. The turkeys are killed by the breaking of their neel:s, and they are ale bled. from the mouth. No eut:iug or mutil ation is apparent on the outside. They are fasted 48 hours before being killed About eight ornamental feathers are left on each wing, In nearly all eases the tail feathers are pieked off. Turkeys of nearly the same weight shouldhesorted into boxes together. Only choice birds are wanted; others do not fetch good prices. Shipments sent in November, and those sent as late as February, are likely to do bet- ter than those sent immediately before Christmas, when there will probably be a glut in the market, Birds of extra large size do particularly well before Christmas time. At a largo show held at the Agricultural. Hall, Islington, October 1? to 20, American bronze turkeys took all the prizes, and in dressed poultry a Dorking cock took the champion cup.

C. PuouTr. Caught by an old game. Detroit News of 9th : Grieve Elliott, a young man, was waiting at the Brush street depot this afternoon for the departure of the train to Alvinston, Ont. A well-dressed stranger came up and took a seat beside him. " Where are you bound for ? " the strauger asked, in a casual way. Alvinston, Cainada," "That's peculiar," came the reply. I am going to the same place. It's my home, or at least, near there." "What's your name?," queried Elliott. The stranger then told Elliott that his name was John Thompson, and that he owned a stock farm and was about to open a store in Alvinston. He even gave a sly hint that he would like to engage just such a man as Elliott. Train time drew nearer, and the stranger asked if his newacquaintauce was willing to help him carry his bag. gage to the depot. Elliott was willing, and together they left the depot and went up town. After they had walk ed a distance of five or six blocks they were accosted by another stranger. Addressing Elliott's new friend the newcomer said :— " Say —I've —"Say—Ice been looking for you I'm the agent of the express company and have shipped your baggage across the river." Then he presented his bill. The other man searched his pockets. and drew forth a cheek for $1,00, " That's all I have," he remarked. "I've got to cash that first." Turning to Elliott, he said: "How much money have you got ? " " Twelve dollars." " No small change? " " No." " Well, let me have the $12 a mom. ent. Elliott drew his purse and hand- ed over bis money. The stranger os tensibly started for the express office. Elliott waited two hours, but "'Thomp- son," did not show up. He went to police headquarters, where he told his story. " flow long did it take the stranger to fleece you, from thetime you first saw him till he got the money ?" Elliott was asked. "About 15 minutes," was the young farmer's answer. Eight men werbadly burned by an explosion of gas in the new Vancouver Coal Co.'s shaft No. 1. Children Or' for.

Mather Zureher's Book Under the Ban— A Concession to masonry. Washington, Nov. 15. -- Monsignor Martinelli, the apostolic delegate, has received from Rome two important de- crees. The first is from the congregation of the index, a branch of the once power- fi'1 inquisition, or holy office, and de- clares that the book "Monks and Their Decline," by George Zuroher, pastor of St. Joseph's Churoh, .Buffalo, N.Y., has been planed under the ban of the church, and the author is in danger of excom- munication, unless he retracts his errors. Father Zuroher's book was published six months ago. It describes the alleged drinking habits of Jesuits and other orders in this and other foreign countries, and is more of an argument against drinking than against the orders. The second degree refers to funeral services of Catholics who have joined the Masonic order. It allows a priest to offici- ate, and the interment may be in cense- seated ground provided the deceased was n ot openly hostile to the ohuroh and ex- pressed at some time, even it indirectly, a willingness to become reconciled to his former faith. A Galt Lawyer Shot. Galt, Nov. 15.—E. J. Beaumont, town solicitor of Galt, and member of the law Arm of Beaumont & Irwin of this plane, lies in the Galt Hospital suffering from an accident which occurred on Saturday night about 10 o'clock.

A New York despatch to a Toronto paper says that Daniel Lewis, of Lon- don has been the victim of a New York green•goods man, all through a matrimonial agency and Mr. Lewis' burning• desire for a wife. Last sum- mer, the despatch says, the green - goods man spent his vacation here. where he thought things " easy." While here he met Dau Lewis, whom the green -goods man took into his con fidence, and offered to sell $4,000 worth of " treasury notes " for $300. Through the stranger, Lewis was sent a circular and two photographs of a "beautiful girl and a handsome widow," both worth money, who were head over heels in love with Lewis. Lewis bit, and to toNew e1) YorkThursday t on net to consutinate his heart's desire and buy good money at less than 10 cents on the dollar, with which to do it. Daniel Lewis put up at the Putnam House where the green -goods man met him. They took a stroll to Lexington avenue bar, where the confidence man passed the bad money at the bar and cigar stand. "It's too easy," said the green - goods man, as he led Daniel further into the lion's. den. "How much do you want ? " Lewis replied that $34 worth would be enough to start on, and if it went all right he would take more. "Thirty-four' dollars ! "" roared the confidence man. " Taking up a bus- iness man's time for that!" Words fol- lowed, then a row, and finally the pair were arrested, in the Yorkville court the confidence .man. gave his name as Hoffman; of No. 118 East One Hundred and Twenty- fifth street.
