Perhaps after all, the way to civilize the red man is to play lacrosse with him. 4 4, It has recently been ubserved that a great many more pipes are being smok- ed in the streets of NOW York by well- dressed men than used to be. The blame for this is divided between the McKinley Bill and England; the former made cigars expensive, and the latter has made pipes fashionable. The high tariir was specially aimed at Britain,and yet it has been instrumental in adding another link to 'Uncle Sam's Anglo - mania fetters. %Ir David Plewes, the well-known miller of Brantford, in a letter to the Globe, put the question of two -rowed barley ie a nutshell, He says that in October last he had a conversation with a Glasgow gentleman, 0 large importer of Canadian products, who told him that :- "Snch barley ea was corning to Brant- ford at that time could only be sold for feed, and would bring about 40c per 48 lbs to the farmer. He distinctly gave mo to u,; derstaud that any barley testing less than 52 lbs, to the mamma build was unsaleable to the British brewer, while the general demand far malting barley required barley testing about 51 pounds. It is for the Canadian fanner to decide whether he can raise six -rowed barley to test that much," There is no doubt that unless our farmers grow barley to test 52 pounds per bushel, the effort to find a profitable market in Great Britain will fail. The ex eriments of the .ask tem seasons have dearly demonstrated, however, that over a large area in. Canada, two - rowed barley of that weight cart be grown. tt•t 14Tunteipd:l insuratlee is the latest fad for rural discussion. Besides many townships that view the :scheme with favor, the town of Walkerton is figuring on it seriously. With its vigorous peti- tion prayiug the legislature to play less hog with license fees, and with this meditated insurance venture, the county toren of Bruce [aunt be in a revolution- ary mood. The scheme of municipal insurance is not altogether now,although it has never been more than an untried theory. The plan is for the corporation to levy a fire rate on all assessable pro- perty and in ease of tiro pay the loser a sum equalling two -thirds -or all -of hia loss. Its advocates hold that the cor- poration could profitably operate such a scheme v insurance and at much lesser rates than the regular companies. There is an element of the single land tax theory in the above -vacant lands con- tributingto the protection of perishable prrrperty. It is a bald scheme, and should be well exploited in a sparsely settled district before towns attempt to try it. A big fire would bankrupt a town. A Dungannon, (Huron Co.lcorrespon- dent writes : Mrs McDonagh and Airs Farris, daughter of 1Ir John Robinson, near this village, arrived home with their families from South Dakota, two weeks ago, Their crops were an entire failure, by remaining there nothing but starvation awaited them. When they left every house for 10 miles around was closed up. Their husbands intend go- ing out to Manitoba in the spring. Al- so Messrs John and Frank Russell ar- rived home a week ago from Trail Co, North Dakota. They gave an equally hard account of their country. Those who are able to get out are doing so, but there are hundreds who have not even the cost of removal. Their opin- ion is that the Yankee land agents and their Canadian allies will have hard work in the future in deluding settlers to that arid, cyclone -infested, blizzard - stricken country: Smarting under the blow inficted by the McKinley tariff -bill, Mexico is said to be in a favorable mood to consider the question of closer trade relations with other countries. In an interview recently with Sir John A. Macdonald, Mr D. A. Ansell, of Montreal, the Mexican Consul•General in Canada, stated that his Government would not be unwilling to co-operate with the Government of Canada in transferring trade from the United States to the Dominion.' At present the trade be- tween the two countries is a mere trifle, amounting last year to $77 worth of goods received from, and $21,000 worth of goods sent to, Mexico. Mr. Ansell suggests that a steamer be placed on the route from Montreal to Vera Cruz, cal- ling at Cuba and a southerly point in Mexico in the hemp district. Six weeks he thinks, would be required,. for the round trip, and until the possibilities of trade between the two countries were demonstrated three or four trips during tho year might, be sufficient. Mr Ansel believes a large trade can be built up, and much of the immense trade with the Tnited States turned to Canada. Mex- ico could send tobacco, hemp, coffee, jute, sisal, spices, indigo and'sugar. In return she could take many tines of manufactures from Canada, such as 'car- riages, agricultural implements, hard- ware, paperbangings, soaps and boots and shoes. How an8uan for people to ruin their' health -with unwholesome food. Tho food prepared with Imperial Cream Tartar Bak- ing Powder is wholeseme paid a visit to the Canadian Colony in Dakota brought back word that there was a very general desire among the wanderers to return. Dearly have they learned that the representations of the American land agent are not invariably framed with a strict regard to truth,and that the Paradise they had hoped to enter had not materialized. •It would be enteresting to have a comparative statement of the number of Canadians -who crossed the border during the ear- lier and later part of the decade re- spectively. .By this means one could conclude whether the ignorance of Ca - adieus generally of the resources and climate of our Northwest, which has only within recent year been properly represented in the eastern provinces,, had any influence in directing the stops of those who hare gone out from us. One would be perfectly safe in hazard- ing the statement that the comparison would show a greee falling oft', during ( the latter half of the decade. Our peo- p P i PIe have had their eyes Qggeu and bare found out, (the Globe to the contrary) that the Canadian Northwest has tttany advantages which more than offset any apparent advantage possessed by the territories to the south of the boundary line, .Toronto Truth (Liberal.) M*w Open ditches should only be made where absolutely necessary. The reason is obvious ; a tile drain will gen- erally cost but little, if any, more than a properly constructed open ditch with sufficiently sloping banks. Fields can be eultivated, hauling done in less time and with less inconvenience, besides the additional ground to cultivate, which would be waste land if the ditch were left open. There is a constant demand for the deepening and widening of ditches, and this demand will continue until their bottoms aro sunk low enough not to obstruct the discharge of the tile drains. The bottom of an open ditch should be at least two feet below the necessary depth of tile drains, to pro - vent the tile from being filled up and obstructed and fillel up by the ever accumulating sediment at the bottom, Probably the best way to treat this de- posit of sediment woul3 be to make bank slopes netto exceed two to ono, or still flatter, which will greatly reduce the cost of cleaning out the ditch and keeping it in repair, by plowing and scraping out the deposit and spreading it on the adjacent land. The above is from report of the Ohio Society of En- gineers, During the last thirty-three years the percentage of the United States foreign commerce carried in American vessels has steadily declined from 70.5 per cent, in 1857 to 12.29 per cent in 1889. This will appear the more re- markable when it is remembered that during the same period the foreign trade of the country has advanced with prodigious strides, amounting last year to the enormous sum of $1,047,139,093, of which $857,828,684 were exports of merchandise,and $789,210,409, imports. But of allthis vast trade only $202,451,- 886 was carried on by means of Amer- ican vessels ; while $1,371,116,744 was carried on by means of foreign vessels. Official figures show that American ton- nage on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts is only about three times that on the Great Lakes, Naturally those who wish their country well and desire to see her take a first place in everything, lament this great decline. Secretray Windom in his report declares, "The humiliation of witnessing this dissap- pearance of our flag from the high sees, without ono effort to restore it to its former proud position. cannot be ex- pressed." t)asb.weead, 13ntess-Another of those happy events took place on Wednesday evening last, when J Meleck, of the Bronson Line was married to Miss Felty, of Sarepta.

(Too late for last week.) Oa: wear --The concert in the ".Gown Hall on Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Foresters, of this place, was a grand success in every particular. Although dis. appointed by the absence of the Supreme Chief Ranger, the rest of the programme supplied the shortcomings and we aro sure everyone was delighted: Mr Jae Fax was "The Star" of the evouiag, and upon each appearance brought down the house. His songs were iuterspersed with instrumental music supplied by local talent, !which, as is nuusual, was greatly appreciated. Mr Fax's songs were all encored, and he was generous hearted enough to respond in every instance. Dr Rollins, of Exeter, very creditably filled the chair, and math only one grave error, for which of course lie will be forgiy'en. He was so delighted with Fax's "nationalities" that ho wanted every. one in the arouse to claim their nationality to bo Irish. Ot course aur Devonshire friends were not particular, but the Germans wonld not do it. However, they know the Dr well and will forgive him for being over zealous. -As above stated tho concert was a finauoial succeea, and we congratulate the Foresters on their success and feel thank- ful to them for supplying us with an even- ing's entertainment. The strangers in the audience were quite numerous and shows the good fellowship misting between sister courts, + 1' 1 - In the Globe's recent article on "The United States Census" the following sentences occur : "Mr Potter is not able as yet to tell us how many native born Canadians are in the States, but a blind guess by one of his subordinates places the number at considerably over a million. In 1880 the number was. given as 717,000, including Newfound- landers. Of these Michigan contained 149,000, Msssachussetts 119,000, New York 84.000, Maine 37,000, Illinois and Vermont each 34,000,Minnosota 29,000, New Hampshire 27,000, and so on.'". Thus it will be seen that, assuming the present state of the Canadian Colony to be a million and upwards, about 300,- 000 have crossed the border during the decade just closed. That these are satisfied .with their new home is doubt- ed by many. Indeed,there -is reason to suspect that thousands of them would return to the land whence they went out if they could.

Couspicuous for their numbers, and for their generous applause were the little folks. Tho programme was a lengthy one. The chair was taken in good time by the Superintendent of the school, Mr W J Wilson, who carried on the programme to. the end as quickly as possible. Mrs F Ulcus and Miss J Whiteside deserved great credit for the way the children had been trained. The preaente were arra-iged on a Jacob's ladder, nearly 20 feet bigli with trees on each side, Nearly every heart in the audience appeared to be glad. Over 300 presents were given out. Proceeds amounted to $35.15. SeneoL ENTERTAINMENT -A Wily suecesar, ful entertainment took place in the New School Home, No 10,on Tuesday afternoon. This school has been turned around to face the east, raised up and stone foundation bailt tinder, new briok walls, new roof, new floor, sides and ceiling boarded with black oak, new lobby and belfry, and a new $30 bell placed in it• The whole improvements coating nearly $600. The sohool is clear of debt with the exception of $300 which the trustees have sueeeeded in borrowing for two years at six per cont. This speaks well of the enterprise of the ratepayers of the section. -The programme was a lengthy one consisting of vocal and instrumental mucic, readings, recitations and dialogues. The chair was taken by Mr Geo Sherritt. The lend applause showed how much the effdrts of the performers were appreciated.
