The curious eights of India. are beyond

favorite spot for pionice that an enterprising
Nano has built a, bungalow for the accom-
modation of visitors, In the brave days a
old alligators roamed the neighborhood at
their will, seeking whom they might devour;
but this privilege was err sadly abused that
the municipal authorities have Wilt a wall

swamp, caused by hot springs,the medicinal
virtues of which have been known for ages;
but Hindoos and Moslem alike attribute
them to the sanctity of Pir Haji
Mangho a Mohammedan of courier whose
tomb kends by the brink. To this person-
age the crooidiles are sacred, in some inex-
plicable fashion. The tank, so to call it, is
eleoub 150 yards long and 80 yards wide;
deep, narrow ehannele intersect it, making
islets and banks. In this space Mr. Carless
counted over tem hundred reptiles from
eight to fifteen feet long and amaller ones
"innumerable." They are So tame, in a
sense, that it is necessary to poke them
with a stick before they will move. Buffa-
loes are always standing in the water; the
crocodiles i oatle them but uever attack. Any
other animal is instantly seized, however.
"Tho whole appearance of the place," wrote
Mr. Carless, "with its green, slimy, stag-
nant waters, and so many of these huge
uncouth monsters moving sluggishly about,
is disgusting in the extrenae, and it will long
be remembered by me as the moat loath-
some spot that I ever beheld." The attend-

years ago three gmrs, jam landed, paid a

on the batiks of the reptiles. Another filled
a soda -water bottle with explosives, tossed
it into a big orazodile's mouth, and
fired the charge. The third threw a perish
dog to the most sacred of them all. This
last outrage stirred the priests to fury, and
the grifs fled for their lives. The very beat
story of these reptiles is that suggested,
rather than told, by Sir Samu.el Baker in
"Albers Nyanza." Returning to Kondo-
keret, his adventures over, he beheld one
day two vast creatures slip down from an
island and vanish. Crocodiles they were in
form but antediluvian monsters n size.

THE EQUIPMENT AND . DUILDINGEls
In tiniee past there hes been some 002IP‘
plaint that too much theory was taught and
not enough practice given at the Farmers'
College. Through, the inel rumentality of
our progreesive Minieter of iegriculture and
the liberality of the Ontario Government,
thie is being remedied. The Dairy Depart-
ment is now able to give practkel, m well
theoretical, instruction in thie now most im-
portant branch of agriculture.
DA.XEE
What was formerly the creamery and
reeidence for the buttermaker has been re-
modelled, some additions made, and other-
wise improved, until it movers fairly well
the purposes inteecled. The cheese
department containe 0 lecture -room,
provided with chairs having suit-
able arms for taking notes. This room
overlooks the working room, The working -
room has six vats, curd rail's, presree,
hoops, and complete outfits for the manu-
facture of Cheddar cheese. The curing
room is conveniently boated. The butter
department has also a lecture -room
ooxn-
ma.nding a full view of the work room.
Three cream separators, one butter ex-
traotor, three ohurns, workers, vats, eta,
rnake this department fully equipped for
•giving inetruction in the art of butter -
making by the lateet improved machinery
and in tee beet method. A basemeet under
the lecture room serves for creamers,
refrigerator, skim milk and buttermilk
tanks and general wash -room. The ice
house near the refrigerator furnishes
material for cooling milk, oream and butter.
In nailk,testing, the latest tests are in use
every day, while those more commonly
known are kept for illustration. Owing to
the difficulty of securing suitable books on
the eubject, it is not an easy matter to
collect a library on dairying, but such as
there are we shall have, together with the
only reliable source for the latest informa-
tion on the dairy, namely, reports, bulletins,
agricultural and dairy journals. Additions
have also been made to the dairy barn.
Stabling, for thirty cows and a number of
young stock, is nearly completed. A
circular silo, which now contains a good
sample of ensilage, was also built
adjacent to the stabling. A new piggery
provides for the feeding of that indite
pensable animal, the hog, in connection
with the dairy. The stock of cows com-
prises five of the dairy breeds and a num-
ber of grades. A record of the pounds of
milk and per cent. of fat is kept of each cow.
With this equipment our regular students
ought to get a fair knowledge of the manu-
facture of milk into both butter and cheese.
For the benefit of those who cannot spare
the time to take the full course, it is our in-
tention to start a
SPECIAL SHORT C017ESE,
commencing February 1st, 1803, and con-
tinuing two months. This is designed for
the benefit of factorymen and others who
are making a specialty of dairying. The
courae will be thrown open to ladies also
who may desire bo take such a course of
instruction. Competent instructors will be
employed in each department, while one
lecture each day will be given by members
of the college staff. Not only scientific
dairy practice will be taught, but also as
far as time will permit, other scieaces
which bear more • or less directly on the
subjecb will be treated very briefly. Ex-
perts will give lessons on the judging of
butter and cheese by points. Teem will
be no tuition fee, but the sum of 85 will be
charged for the use of chemicals and to
cover breakages. The students who pass
the practical and written examinations at
the end of the term and elSO do satisfac-
tory work in a factory for one year, either
before or after attending the special course,
will be granted a diploma from the college.
Every cheese and butter maker of the
Province should be a centre of light and
knowledge in his own neighborhood, and
be able to give patrons usetul advice as to
breeding *rattle, characteristics of the dif-
ferent breeds, best rations for feeding to
produce milk,. how to care for milk, the
importance of good milk, and a great many
other matters that confront the dairyman
every day.
For his own sake he should know the
best methods of manufacture, be thoroughly
acquainted with the latest machines, under-
stand how to test milk and divide money to
patrons according to per oent. of fat,
whether for butter or cheese, and be ready
to address his patrons on leading dairy
topics at annual meetings, institutes, etc.,
To do this most makers require more confi-
dence, which comes from mingling with
men who have made the business a study,
and from thinking for themselves.
The private dairyman requires to know
all that the maker knowe, and a good deal
more besides.
As we can accommodate but a limited
number during the first year, those who
apply first will be allowed to enter up to the
number of fifty.
Board may be obtained near the College
or in the city (li miles distant) at $3 to
per week. The total cost while at the
college need not exceed $40 for the full
course. H. EC DEAN.

Darwin's Theory Applied.
In Berlin there lives a savant who is an
ardent votary of the theory of evolution.
Not long ago, when at the seaside he
caught a live herring on which he resolved
to test the &mummy of the Darwinian doc-
• trines, says the Independence Romaine.
Every day the gentleman took a spoontul of
sea water out of the aquarium in whioh he
had placed the herring, substituting in lien
thereof a spoonful or fresh water. He
continued this process until the aquarium
contained nothing but fresh water. Its
occupant was then consigned to a large
glass bowl. The herring centinued live and
healthy. Still our learned philosopher had
-by no means completed his investi-
gations. Every day he took a spoon-
ful of fresh water out of the bowl
until not a drop was left. A
bird. cage was now substituted
for the gime bowl. The herring was
happier than over ; now and then it
would uttor a cry of vexation when the pro-
fessor caressed ir too roughly or failed to
supply it at the proper time with the little
patties specially prepared for the interest-
ing creature. The herring grew sleek and
fat, but after a few weeks its " tamer "
noticed that it exhibited signs of melan-
choly. The professor spent hours in trying
to fathom the cause of these unhappy symp-
toms on the part of his protege.
At length he discovered tbat the creature
was suffering from indigestion ; it had evi-
dently rained its stomach by a too free in-
dulgence in pastry. " Donnerwetter 1" the
philosopher exclaimed "1 quite forgot to
give the animal something to drink 1" He
quickly, filled a large wooden bowl with
water and put it in the cage. Next morn-
ing on going to inspect the cage the learned
gentleman found bhe creature dead; it had
dipped its head in the water trough --the
herring was drowned!

A Tale that Reads Like a Novel.
The Story et George nevinitenneepicas for
Thirty 'Secure—At e.ast nind4 Genet' In a
Steeple Way—The Story Corroborated by
Reliable Witnesses,
(Orangeville Poet.)
For several months the Post, in common
wibh many other journals of Ontario, have
been publishing accounte of miraculous
owes in various parts of Canada and the
United Seatee. We must confine, however,
that we have paid little or no attention to
these reported miraolea and probably oer
indifference would have continued to the
end had it not been for a little iecident that
occurred in our office when Washburn's cir-
cus was in Orangeville a few weeks ago.
Mr. Stewart Afason, a respectable farmer of
Albion township, called at our office on
business on that occasion, and as he wee
leaving we happened to mit him—a
course generally pursned by the newspaper
man in search of news—if there was any -
anything new in his vicinity. He replied
that there was nothing very startling, and
followed this up by asking us if we had
heard of the wonderful cure of a man named
Hewitt, at Mono 'veil's. We confessed
ignorance, and then Mr. Mason mad that
from whet he had heard it was undoubtedly
another miraculoue cure through the %genes'
of Dr. Williams' famous Pink Pine. We
had become so thoroughly imbued with the
idea that the various details of miraolee in
other parte were only a new end catching
fake in the booming of patent medicines
that we must admit Mr. Moon's intimation
of a genuine local cure at once excited our
interest. We took a note of the name and
quietly made up our mind to investigate
the matter at our earliest con-
venience. We came to the conclusion
that there must be something in
it, for Mr. Mason, a respectable and
reliable young farmer, would not
for a moment be suspected of equivocating
on a matter in which he had any interest,
much less in one which did not concern
him. A few days ago the Post despatched
a representative to Mono Mille to make a
full investigation of the alleged cure of
George Hewitt, He first called on Mr.
John Aldous, proprietor of the Commercial
Hotel, and after a few usual preliminaries
asked him if he knew a man named Hewitt,
in the village. Is that the old man that
warent able to move a short time ago, and
is now getting all righe so fast ?" queried
Mr. Aldous. The reporter nodded assent,
and in less time than it takes to tell it the
quill -driver and the obliging Mr. Aldous
were on their way to the neat and comfort-
able home of Mr. Samuel Benson, with
whom it was learned Mr. Hewitt resided.
The Benson home is in the eastern suburb
of the village and upon the reporter
and Mr. Aldous calling, they were
courteously received by the busy housewife,
who was not too busy, however, to spare
time to tell the Post all about her interest-
ing boarder and his miraculous cure. Mr.
Benson was not at home and the .Post at
once suspected that a we:11%1139,n of between
50 and 60 years, who o • pied a chair in a
corner of the cosy room, es no other than
the famous George Hewitt,. The surmise
proved correct. Mr. Hewitt shook hands
with the scribe, remarking as he did so, "I
could not have taken hold of your hands a
few months ago." When the object of the
visit was announced, Mr. Hewitt, who is an
intelligent, well-educated man, began to
dilate in glowing terms on the wonderful
change that had come over him. "Shall I
tell you the whole story ? " asked he of the
reporter, and upon the latter intimating his
desire to hear all, Mr. Hewitt gave him the
following narrative:

Rheumatic Pains
Require no desoription, since, with rare
exception, all at acme time have experienced
their twinges.. Rheumatism is not easily
dislodged, only the most powerfully pene-
trating remedies reach to its every
foundations. The most succeseftd treat-
ment known, and it is frequently
resorted to by medical men, is
the application of that now famous remedy
for pain—Polson's Nerviline. It is safe to
say that nothing yet discovered has afforded
equal satisfaction to the suffering, and no

• THE STORY OCREOsoBATED.
The reporter could scarcely believe that
Mr. Hewitt's voice, now so silvery and re-
sonant, was ever the equeaky, feeble and.
indistinct organ of speech 10 hafl indica.ted,
and the scribe questioned /dm. Benson on
this point. She said that every word Mr.
Hewitt had related was literally true, and
on the question of the restoration of his
voice she was corroborated by Mr. Aldous,
and other respectable witnesses whom the
reporter met in the village later in the day.
Mr. Aldous said he was not surprised at the
hesitancy of people about believing the
wonderful care. He did not think that he
himself could credit it if he had not been
rio eye -witness of the whole affair. He had
known Mr. Hewitt for years, knew thathie
former utter helplessness was as he had de-
scribed, and either he had th say it was not
Mr. Hewitt who sat before him or to admit
the miraculous escape. "These pills,"
said Mr. Aldous, "are certainly a wonder.
ful remedy."
The reporter shook hands with Mrs.
Benson and the cheerful Mr. Hewitt, and
started forth into the street a doubting
Thomas no longer, first promising to trans-
mit th the Dr. Willie.nue Medicine Coe
Mr. Hewitt's lavish expressions of thanks
for what their wonderful Pink Pills had
done for him. "Here we are," thought
the scribe, "in .the cold and practical nine-
teenth century, but here's something right
here in this little village of Mono Milk
mighty closely bordering on tlae miraculous
all the same.'
After leaving the Benson home the re-
porter sought out Postmaster Mills, whom
he found equally eloquent in his praise of
the wonderful Pink Pills. "They're cer-
tainly a great remedy," said he, "and any
one that doubts this has only to be told
about George Hewitt's case. I suppose
you have heard the whole story, and there's
no use in my wearying you. The pills
have undoubtedly worked the amazing
°flange thitt is to be noticed in Hewitt'a
condition. It was I first sent for the pills
for him, and I can certify to the striking
change." The reporter further learned
that the Pink Pills were kept for sale by
Mr. Mills, and that the demand for them
was large and. increasing The represents-.
tive of the Post conversed' with many other
citizens of Mono Mills regarding Mr.
Hewitt's case and found all agreed on the
question of his former condition, his
restoration and the remedy. Every one in
and around the village, 1 fact, appeared
to know all about the cure, and Pink Pills
seemed to be a household word in that sec-
tion. On the Post's return to Orangeville,
Mr. Richard Allen, ex -Warden of Dafferia
county, dropped into our office. The ex -
warden resides about three miles from Mono
Mille, and was asked if he had heard any-
thing about whet Dr. Williams' Pink Pith
had done for Mr. Hewitt. He had heard all
about the case, and was unhesitating in
expressing the opinion that this was
striking instance of great results following
the use of the pills. "I'm not much of a
believer in wonderful cures I read about,"
said the exwarden, "but I have known
Hewitt for years, and this change in him is
certainly astounding." The Post was sur-
prised re hear that Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla
were extensively used ill this section, bat
after the Hewitt narrative it was not sur-
prised to hear of great beneficial results
following the use of the great remedy. We
are disposed to conclude from what some
parties told us that the base imitation bud -
nese is already entered upon by unprinoi-
pled persons, and the public will do well to '
see that the Pink Pills they purchase have
all the marks of genuineness advertised by
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a
patent medicine in the sense in which that
term is usually understood, but a.
scientific preparation They contain in
condensed form all the elements neceseary
W give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for suck
diseases as locomobor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the
afthr effects of la grippe, palpitation of
the heart, pale and sallow complexions,
and the tired feeling resulting from nervous
prostration; all diseases depending upon
vitiated. humors in the blood, such as.
scrofula, chronic erysipelas, eto. They are
also a SpeCific for troubles peculiar to fe-
male, such as suppressions, irregularities,
and all forms of weakness. They build up
the blood and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks. In case of men
they effect a radical cure in all cases arising
frona mental worry, overwork or excesses
of whatever nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the Dr.,
Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville,
• Oat., and Seheneetady, N. Y., and are soli
only in bones bearing our trade mark an&
wrapper, at 50 cent a a box, or six boxes for

substitutes in this form is trying to defraud

MR. HEWITT'S WONDERFUL STORY.
"In Old Ireland, thirty years ago, I was
scaling a stone wall one day when I fell
backward and had my epine injured so seri-
ously that a short time later I became
almost entirely disabled. The fatal effects
et the fall were gradually but only too
rapidly felt, and look iug back on a stretch
of time extending five years over a quarter
of a century, there is little more in the pros-
pect than a picture of pain and gloom and
suffering About twenty-eight years ago I
came to Canada, and am known around the
country here for miles. Until twelve years
ago I could sit on a chair when placed on it,
and manage to move myself around a little.
Then even that comfort was suddenly taken
from me. One day I was unintentionally
thrown off theohair, and the seoond fall may
he said to have done all but end. my life.
There was not a ray of hope for me, not a
sign of a break in the dark clouds. Ever
since then my. pitiable condition is known
to every one in these parts. All power to
use either arms or hands, legs or feet, com-
pletely left me. I could be propped up• -
right ma chair, but something had to be
put in front of me to keep me from falling
forward. Usually a chair like this," and
as Mr. Hewitt spoke he lifted and drew for-
ward a chair which was near him, "was
placed in front of me and on this I would
rest my arms. Not only was all power left
my Umbel, but every feeling likewise. Why,
you could run a needle right into my flee&
and I would not know what you were doing
unless I saw the act. A merited of flies might
light and revel upqm me, but I would be in
happy ignorance of the tact. When I was
laid in bed I could not get up or move
unaided if I was given all creation. The
only part of my system in which any
strength seemed to remain wee my neck,
but at last even my head fell .forward on
my breast, and I was indeed a pitiable
sight. My voice, formerly as clear and
ringing as it is to -day, seemed to go like the
strength and feeling from the rest of me,
and sometimes I would scarcely be able to
make myself understood. I know you hear
me -grille incredulity, for you can scarcely
believe that the helpless and hopeless in-
valid I have described is the man who now
site before you, cheery, vigorous and hope-
ful. On the legs, which a short time ago
were helpless and seemed useless, 1 can now
walk with a little assistance, being ablelent
evening to go to my room with my arm oh
Niro. Benson shoulder. Why, man, a few
months! ago I could not do that on the
vomitus of inheriting the kingdom of
heaven." Here Mr. Hewitt stamped both
feet on the floor Wit h much vigor and en-
thusiasm. "In those days," he resumed,
" if I ever wrote anyth 11 was by plac-
ing the handle of the pen betweeh my: teeth
and getting through with the work in that
way. Don't ask me if I tried the best doc-
tors. I spent. a f 'rtitne, thou,,,ealR of dol.
