It is not generally IstleWle that at
last session of the Legislature en
act was passed, which is now in
force, providing that where the
husband dies without a will with
property Worth less than !Sum
everything goes to his Widow.
Where he dies with more than $1,-
000, in the administration the
widow will get $1,000 anyway.
Thus a Widow will no longer be
made to suffer through her hus-
band's carelessness in not making
a will.
LightningAnd Barns.
In view ot the large number of
barns struck by lightning daring
the last few days, a correspondent
asks us if there is greater danger
of barns being burned by light-
ning when they are filled with pro-
duce than when they are empty.
Mr. llicAdie, a United States
Government official, after exhaus-
tive inquiry, submits these facts.
Last year, prior to Aug. 1, 223
persons were reported as killed by
lightning in this uountry, after that
date, re3; dwelliugs struck. be-
fore, Aug. 1, 173; alter, 87; church-
es, before, to; atter, 15; barns, be-
fore, 130; after, r8o, It thus
appears that while much more
than half the year's damage done
by lightning in other directions oc-
curred prior to the date mention-
ed, a trifle more than halt the in
jury to barns from that cause
came afterward. Mr. McAdie
mentions three possible reasons
for this increased peril after har-
vesting the orops: 1. The stalks
of grass and growing grain serve
as tiny lightning rods, and relieve
the electric strain between sky and
earth, but when they have been
cut 'down only the buildings and
trees are left to serve that purpose.
2. A full barn is warmer, and
hence more readily ignited than
/empty one. S. The vapor in the
warm air, risingfrom a barn filled
with new hay, attracts the electric
current and invites a discharge by
that route.
These figures show the necessity
tor barns being insured, or for
possible losses being provided for
otherwise. A neighboring farm-
er tells us that he does not
insure his buildings or stock, take
ing his chances, by the saving of
insurance premiums, to con -ie out
ahead in a long run. Is he
prudent? The question is one
worthy of earnest disoussion.
We would like to hear from uur
farmer readers.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
--
Eine trade returns for the past
two months indicate a gratifying
increase in the trade of the country.
The exports are valued at $24,-
878,/99, as against $22,559,419, or
an increase of two millions and a
quarter. The duty collected for
the same period shows an increase
of $318,000. Imports for the two
months manifest a falling off of ex-
actly two million dollars.

Pork packers again complain
that farmers in 'Western Ontario
are marketing too many "thick fat"
hogs, and dealers have been noti-
Aed that their hogs will not be
eocepta.ble in future unless there is
much improvement. It is alleged
that the farmers haee been feeding
softfeed to their pigs,and that with
such feed it is next to impossible
to produce the "long lean" des
cription of hogs which the packers
now find meets with the demand
in the foreign markets. Farmers
generally should heed the advice
of the packers. If they can so re-
gulate the feed of their hogs as to
produce good material for the ex-
port bacon trade they will com-
mand the highest prices, and avoid
disappointment. It is well to be-
gtn the season with the under -
Standing that the exporters ca.nnot
make a profitable market for soft
fed hogs.

It was generally understood
since the last session of the Legis-
lature that horse raciug and fakirs
were to be prohibited in connect-
ion with Agricultural Fairs re-
ceiving government grant. And so
thoroughly was it understood that
all the rural fairs have expuaged
horse racing from their programs
this year. The South Huron
Society, however, seems to be a
privileged concern, as at their fair
in Exeter on Tuesday, horse racing
and gambling were carried on in •
the usual manner. If the law in
this connection has been mis-
intrepreted, it:would only be doing
justice to an indulgent public for
the Secretary, who by the way, is
a member of the Legislature
making the law, to explain its
real object. There seems to be a
good deal of misconception in this
connection.
According to the annual report of the
conference officer the Young People's
Sedates of the Methodist church have
an aggregate mernbership of 66,757.

An agitation is being worked up
amongst the Germans of the North-

support of the movement.
Mr. D. McNicoll, general passen-

Spink and John Carrick represented
Toronto; B. Thompson, J. A. Magee,
Montreal; R. R Morgan. Hamilton;
0. B. Hunt, London, and W. Borclie,
Quebec. Very little difference exists
between this year's standard as de-
cided by the meeting and that of last
year, save as to barley, svhichisbelow
last year's in color.

Three prominent young men of
Windsor, St. Thomas and Kingsville
respectively are in the Central Police
Station, Detroit charged with smug-
gling. They were arrested Saturday
with $00 worth of silks in their pos-
session, which they a short thne be-
fore their arrest had brought from
Windsor. The identity of the trio
proved startling. One is Walter C.
Learoyd, aged 27, junior member of
the firm of -Learoyd Bros. prominent
dry goods merchants of Detroit and
sonar Rev. Learoyd of St. Marys, and
another, Wm. McDonagh, aged 27,
son of Rev, Wm. McDonagh of Kings-
ville. The third. is Harry L. Drake,
of St Thomas, aged 26, and brother
of the wife of A. D. Learoyd. He
came to Windsor a few days ago to
visit his sister. When first question-
ed by the detectives the aecnsed said
some unknown man had paid them a
few dollars to bring the goods across
a,nd leave them at the hotel where
they were arrested. The police gave
slight credence to this story. It has
since transpired. that McDonagh, al-
though at the hotel, was not in th e
least implicated in the tearisaetion.
