That one in- stitute had condemned the time- honored Monday wash day was part of the infermatiou given by Mr. Putnam. QUESTIONS FOIL WOMEN. "Problems of the People" was the title of the address of Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture, but he devoted himself chiefly to the questions for the considera- tion of women. A great deal of energy had been expended in the development of the material sido of life rather than on the develop- ment of the peoplo. Even the ex- periments of the Depart•nleua of Agriculture had been carried on with a view to adding to the pro- ductiveness of the fields. Many great questions were dealt with in the 'ally papers, questions of trans- portation of the assimilations of the thousands of peoplo pouring into Canada from lands where customs and language were different; ques- tions of Government, Imperialists and cheap power. These were pri- marily the problems which concern- ed the men. THE GREATEST PROBLEM. First of the problems for women came those of the home and iLs sur- roundings. Next carne the prob- lems of the school, which shared with the parents the responsibility for the training of youth. "There are many school -houses for which we should apologize," said Mr. James. Questions of health should be considered. Tho Government spent large sums to prevent or era- dicate disease among livestock, but little to stamp out the maladies which afflicted mankind. dents are Canadians, and eight - tenths are Ontario boys, the other tenth were from other parts of the world," remarked President G. C. Creelman at the annual convention of the Women's Institutes of On- tario, at Guelph, last week. Allud- ing to the manner in which the Ag- ricultural College advertised the province abroad, many graduates did not stay on the farms, but en- tered allied businesses. Thus the college was working for the farm- ers of Ontario He thought that the Macdonald Institute was teach- ing farmers' daughters what they could not learn at twine. In receiv- ing c&ty and town girls, he thought the school was doing a work which it was not intended to do. President Creelman asked the de- legates to notify him if they knew of any girl desiring to take a course in the Macdonald Institute. He would then aid her with funds pro- vided by the legacy of the late W. H. Massey for that purpose. "When every room in the institution is oc- cupied by a farmer's daughter it will be the happiest day of the pre- sident's life," remarked Mr. ('reel - man, who welcomed the delegates. GREAT FRATERNAI. SOCIETY. Mrs. W. J. Hunter, of Brampton, voiced the thanks of the ladies for the welcome afforded them. She feltthat there should be more fann- ers' daughters in the Macdonald In- stitute. The women's institutes should partake of the nature of a great fraternal society, without se- crets. In his review of the year's work, Mr. G. A. Putnam, superintendent of Farmers' Institutes, said that while the greatest latitude should be allowed the institutes in their work, the time had conic when they should undertake some definite BOMB WRECKED A HOUSE. More Than a Score of Persons Were Injured. A despatch from New York says: More than a score of persons were injured, five seriously, early on Wednesday, when a bomb was hurl- ed into the airshaft of the tenement house at 320 East 63rd Street. The house was badly wrecked. Failure of the occupants of the house to comply with demands for money made on them by Black Hand con- fidence men is believed by the po- lice to have been the cause of the outrage. The house was occupied exclusively by Italians, and it de- veloped that threatening letters had been received by many of them during the past. few months. Prac- tically all of those injured were asleep in the bedrooms on the south side. Plaster and bricks, mixed with jugged pieces of glass from the shattered windows. were hurled in- to these looms with frightful force, and some of those injured were found half -buried and unconscious under the debris piled upon their beds.

Y., says: Mistaking the elumago of an English pheasant on the hat of Mrs. Grace Felineler for a live bird, an Irish setter sprang at her head un Tuesday and buried his tenth in her face and forehead. Screaming from pain and fright, she tried to beat the dog off. It was a powerful animal, however, and was so determined to get the phea- sant that it returned again and again to the attack. If bystanders had not interfered the setter might have killed the woman. She was hurried to a local physician and her wounds were cauterized. JOSEPII BENNETT KILLED. Fell 130 Feet Froin a Building in Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says: Joseph Bennett was killed and Fred Sellers had his back and leg broken in a hundred and fifty foot fall from the new gas tank at the East -end on Wednesday. Loth men were at work on the top of the building, when the scaffolding broke. An accident to the ambu- lance necessitated the transfer of the injured tnen and the delay prov- ed fatal to Bennett, who died as he was being put in bed. Sellers will probably die. -4,-- THE KAISER II31ONBE Report in German Newspaper That Hes is Mentally Deranged.

Andrew Allan was burned to death in the bakeshop. President Geo. E. Gibbard, ad- dressing the Ontario Collego of Pharmacy Council, said the drug habit was spreading among mem- bers of the profession. A Montreal Street Railway con- ductor claims to have been robbed by three men without the attention of the motorman on the car being attracted. G. W.

Interesting Gossip About Some Promiaeut People. Lord Lansdowne is the only ter- ritorial magnato who possesses landed property in all three parts of the United Kingdom. Mme. Nordica, like many grand opera singers who are fond of some special dish or drink and enjoy pre- paring it themselves, always car- ries about with her a machine for making Vienna coffee, and often treats her friends to a delicious cup of this beverage. M. Kubelik, the famous violin- ist, can probably claim to have re- ceived the greatest number of re- calls. During his first season in London, at the final recital in St. James's Hall, he was compelled to appear on the platform twenty-one times in answer to the frantic ap- plause. Mr. Ambrose S. Ottoy, an aged blacksmith of Cecil County, in the State of Maryland, has accomplished a feat which probably has newer been performed by anyone else in the world. For over thirty-five years hes has been systematically reading his Bible through and through from beginning to end. He has completed his 117th perusal of the sacred book, and started again. Tho young Sultan of Johore pos- sesses one great peculiarity. Many years ago an accident with a horse resulted in nearly the whole of his teeth being knocked out. These have been replaced by teeth of solid gold, in each of which a large dia- mond has been inserted; and, as they become uncovered even in the act of smiling, the effect is a most weird one! to beholders --more es- pecially when tae sun catches the stones and stakes them flash like fire. Lord Inchiquin possesses the un- usual privilege of using scarlet liv- eries, the same as those worn by Royal servants. This is on account of his descent from the Royal line of Thomond, Princes of Ireland. He is fifteenth holder of the title. The O'Briens helped to make Irish history in the long -forgotten past. They aro proud of their ancient race, and emphasize its Celtic ori- gin by the names bestowed on their boys and girls. Three of Lord Inchi- qutn's children answer to the names of Fionn, Phadrig, and Donough; one of his brothers is Murrough, another Desmond; and among his sisters are a Clara, a Doreen, an Eileen, and a Moira. A joke which falls from the lips of a Popo is always noteworthy. Piux X. recently made one which also included a pleasant method of putting a visitor at his ease. Ho was giving audience to Herr Schneider, tho bishop of Pander - born, in Westphalia. Scarcely had the prelate been introduced when the 1'ope said, with a laugh: "Ha, ho! Monsignor, we arc brothers. we belong to the same family." Tho Bishop tried to look if he un- derstood, but evidently failed. "Don't you see 1" went on the Popo. "We both belong to the 'Tailor' family, Schneider as well as Sarto." Schneider is, of course, the•German for tailor, just as Sarto is the Italian. According to a French paper, cook M. Menager, is a native of the South of France. He is about forty yehrs of age, and draws a salary of $8,000 a year. M. Menager has nothing to do with the Royal breakfast. He arrives at the Palace at elevcti o'clock in the morning, when one of the officials hand hits the menu of the day. He then orders what is needed and superintends the cook- ing of the luncheon, after which ho RAILWAY REGULATIONS. is freq until six in the evening. At that hour he began to prepare the King's dinner, and, unlike most other famous cooks, he is helped only by women in the kitchen. When the dinner is served, M.

Before the Imperial Chancellor was called to Berlin he was Ambassador in Rome, where he, occupied one of the moat spacious palaces. When the Coun- tess learned he was to move and that the Chancellor's residence in Berlin was a poor thing compared to their magnificent dwelling in the Eternal City she had misgivings as to how her chef -t1 somewhat lordly personage -would receive the news.

Lady Mayoress has maids of honor ✓ and her train is borne by pages in s costume. In the city the Mayor lj takes precedence immediately after the sovereign. A quaint feudal ceremony, which was strictly ob- served in the late Queen's Jubilee in 1897, is that of handing the sword of state to the sovereign at. the Temple Bar. The Lord Mayor has a choice of four swords -the sword of state, for supremo occa- sions; flak I.cierl sword, for cer- emonial occasions, and the black sword, carried when there is death in the royal family and when at- tending funeral ceremonies. Tho fourth sword is held above the Lord Mayor's chair in the Criminal Court. Then there are other em- blems of office -the diamond scep- tre, the seal; the purse and tho mace. They play an important part in the inaugural ceremonies of the Mayor. The City Chamberlain, with three obeissances, presents the sceptre to the retiring Mayor. He, in turn, delivers it to his successor, who lays it on tno table in front of hint. The chamberlain retires with three more bows, to return with a coal -and three more reverences. The purse is similarly presented. Further ceremonies follow from ' sword bearer, who renders u sword. The mace bearer also up the mace in a similar way. The retiring Lord Mayor then surrend- ers the keys of the coffer in which the seal is kept. There are three keys; of the other two one is held by the Chamberlain, the second by the chairman of the Lands Com- mittee. To unlock the coffer(")*!1 three must be produced. This cere- monial l.as great historic interest. It implies the sovereign power kind authority in ancient times of the chief magistrate of the city. Tho sceptre, sword and mace are em- blems of royalty. The Lord Mayor was a merchant prince in fact ns well as in name. He is still, by virtue of his office, admiral of tho port of London, guager of wino and oil and other gaugablo `arlit•les ; "meter" of coal, grain, salt and fruit, and inspector of hops and but- ter, soap, cheese and other articles corning into the port of London.
