Elizabeth's Wager with Sir Walter Raleigh. Queen Elizabeth of England was not a thorough -going spinster, for she had so little prejudice against the practice of smoking that she permitted Sir Walter Raleigh his pipe in royal presence. She was suffl- cleatly a woman, however,. to twit him 9penly on his devotion to the weed, and it was on one of these oc- casions that the knight replied.: "I can -assure your majesty that have so well experienced the nature of it that I ettn tell even -the weight of the smoke in any quantity I con - seine." "I doubt it much, Sir Walter," re- plied Elizabeth, bolding it was im- possible to weigh smoke, and may - hap venting a, joke, "and I will wager you twenty gold angels that, you cannot solve my. doubt," Gallantly accepting the wager, Raleigh filled his pipe with a weigh- ed quantity Of tobacco, and then, Weighing the resultant ashes, • an- nounced the weight he had smoked "Your majester 'cannot deny that the difference has • disappeared Iti smoke." -, "Truly, I cannot," answered • the queen.

Our experiments in the treatment of meanie, the rot of peach and PiuMs, laSt Year were not altogether Satisfactory. says Prof, 111. 13, Waite of the United States Depaeteeent of Agrieultare, lu 'filet, this has been the usual experience of investigators all OVer the country :for several Years past. :The fact is that spray- ing with boracau* mixture reduces, the niciailia, fungus, but the mixture itSoli is injurious to the foliage. This has varied with the strength of the mietuee used and the anweat of lime it contains, and 111 unexplainable ways it has varied in different sea- sons, times :ma. Places. We hesitate to advise anyone to spray peaches and Japanese plums after the foliage is oat, on account of the daeger of injuring the leaves. The :Willey is of two sorts: First, the short -hole or. corrosive effect, by which the fun- gicide scorches and euts holes out of the leaves; tins follows shortly of the specie/lug; and second, the defoliating effect, which comes on gradually, fram• a week to a month, Ov even two �r "three months after the spraying is done. • Thce‘e is no question about the de- siraldlity of spraying before the buds open or at the time they are stvele ling. This wilr prevent peach leaf curl and will also be advantageous for the nionilia, For this purpose the standard bardeaux 6-4-50 foram, la, that is 0 pounds bluestone, poends. lime and 50 gallees water, can be used, or even more concen- trated if necessary. The trees should be sprayed. -until they are blue. If any ,spraying 13.1 011 is done after the foliage is out, it shoul(1 be done with a formula containing a pounds of bluestone to 9 pounds of lime in 50 gallons or water.

Me ch of the,drudgery is removed from .the farm by having the milk sent direct to the factory. There is alsoan in- crease in both the quality .and the quahtity of the Manufactured article by having all the milk in the neigh- borhood handled by an expert; thus having' the -whole output up to the standard of the best dairies. Again, the double test at factories tends to impress upon dairymen the .impor- tame of .careful examination of their individual cowe and. the disposal of worthless .ones. Too miteh cannot be said upon the importance of cleanliness in milking and the care of milk by the producer until it reaches the factory, especial- ly where itis delivered but once a day. The cheesemaker, hoNVOVer 'skillful, canna make first-class cheese out -of third-class milk. • We had to refuse many cans during the hot weather last June.. Recent •ex- periments show that a uniform tem- perature of TO degrees is not neces- sary, as heretofore believed, for the curing room. ..& much lower tem- perature will prevent the develop- ment of bacl flavors and give a bet- ter product. I had experience one S0115011 in making butter from whey, by running it through a. separator as soon as ta.ken from the cheese vat. A sample was exhibited at the state fair and scored as high as creamery butter. A few unusual or new experiments like this might be of interest AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

And as tilling the soil successfully is the most --scientifie work that man can engage in, there- fore he _should have a thoroughtag- ricultural education. • One boys and girls should be taught More of the practical working of nature. They should be made acquainted with the different properties of the soil which produces that which keeps thern alive and is the motive power of all other industries. They should be taught the different elements of plant life, and how to Produce -the most with the least labor and ex- pense.

Even to the untutored the word "thorobghbred" tarries as- surance of increased value. It has the ring of more money value. While the actual amount in money of thor- oughbred poultry does not convey the idea of large sums„ yet in the abstract and by coinparison, it is as great as in other stock.

It appears that Tommy is not such an a.bsent-ininded beggar as he is made out to be. Tommy him- self has always resented the sobri- quet, and the fact that he has sent a million of money home from the Cape in postal orders during the past year is a colossal testimony to his thrift and thoughtfulness of home needs. This 'useful public service has a section with every column for tele- graphic and postal work, and not only do they. get letters safely through Boer -ridden territory, but they manage to preserve government stock frora cgpture with great skill and foresight. Of course some postal dispatches have fallen into the en.- einY's hands, but the check 'upon be- lated mail bags is so keen that the misuse of postal orders is rare. Mail running from columns off the railway is a dangerous game, and the army postollice man requires not only to be an efficient postal ser- vant,but a strategist, in so much as to know when,not to send. Several deaths have occurred in the defence el mail bags, so that he has to be a combatant at times. SHOULD WOMEN DRESS WELL? Africa The majority of the, people in ev- ery country -are poor, therefore the rich people should not dress in such a manner as to tempt other people to keep pace with them in Matters of clothing. The real lady dresses in good taste always, but modestly. and in a, manner aimed to escape at- tention.. True culture and refinement are never self -demonstrative. Take two instances—the young • man who is valued by his employer, and is_ getting good. pay. He realizes that this is the time to put by his hard- earned money for the rainy day. But across the road is a man making five times the first man's salary. His wife dresses lavishly, and takes care to let people know it. The wife of the first youug man immediately- de- termines to have as fine things as Mrs. So -and -So over the way, no matter what the difference in her husband's condition. This discourag- es the yotmg husband, and the result that 'their children receive more edu- is defalcations, bank robberies. DANtsix, ox;p, A,074: Syeeem„ WoyrletaszeWTerlliairer Ten A law for the pensioning of sup- erannuated and indigent citizens has been in operation in Dernnark ever Since 1891, After 11 ten -years' trial the people have become so favorably impressed by its results that a gener- al demand has been mede on the GoVeremeat Tor additional legisla- tion aloeg the same line. The amendment of the law is one of the most imliortant tasks of the Rigs, (lag now in sessiort. The Present, law is based on the principle that every person who has reached the age of 60 and Ands him- self unable to earn a liveligaocl for himself and those dependent on hini is entitled 'to publie support without being regarded as an objeet of nub- ile charity or suffering disfranchise- ment. It is required that the pensioner shall be a Danish subject; that he shall not ho,ve been cotivicted of any felonious offence; that his indigence, shall not be the result of .extrava, &ranee or the deeding away of his property, and that he shall not have been the recipient of public charity within ton yearof his pensioning. In round numbers 60,000 persohs, aro now receiving aid under the and' the :number Of those dependent on them is estimated at 17,000. The pensioners thus form one-sixth of the population' that has passed the age of GO. In 1698 the average alantial sum paid to each pensioner Was 114 kron- er, or about NO. Taking cities and rural communities separately, how- ever, there is a marked 'differenee•in the average, which in the former amounts to 160 kroner, or $42: while the latter gives Only 98 kron- er, Or $25, Such sums May seem ridiculously small When it is remembered ,that 111e37 are the sole source of income of a person for a Whole year. Their in- adequacy should not be judged by our standards. A kroner will go about as far over there as 0 dollar here_ The total amount Of money paid under tho,law in 1898 was $1,800;- 000, One-half of that was paid by the communities and the other half by the state. The fixing of the amonnti to be paid to each pensioner has so fax been left to the communi- ties, many of which, while 'unable Wholly to .refuse aid, are known to have conceded only a nominal, sup- port. Among the- amendments now pro- posed the hiost important is 0130 fix- ing a minimum sum, below which te pension must not fall. It is propos- ed to shift the burden incurred by the Ian/ as much as possible from the communities to the general Gov- ernment and to permit 'pensioners t0. receive an annual income of not more than 100 kroner. or $26, from _other sources without becoming disquali- fied.

These are interestieg letters from one who has suf- fered much and been cured, •In November, 1901, Mr, Sherwood Walker, a fireman on the Canada Atlantic Railway, living at Made - Weskit, Ont., writes:—"I am a great sufferer front bleeding piles, Sometimes the protruding piles oome down, eausing muck misery and 'uneasiness, and at other 'Limes I am subject to bleeding piles, and they bleed to such an extent, as to make 1310 quite weak. If Dr, Chase's Ointment will cure this awful ailment you will have my everlasting gratitude." Oii March 1, 1902, we received the following letter from. Mr. Walker, which speake volumes for Dr. Chase's Ointment as a; cure for piles of the most disteessing form, He writes:--"Acco, ding to my promise, 1 now take pleasure in writing to you. If you remember, you sent me a box of Dr. Chase's Ointment for bleeding •piles some three rininths ago.

He has some interestingfacts to tell about these hundreds' of thousands, of people who live on the shores Of the .greatest African. lake. He says that though they are a very carefully cicithed nation and are alniost More squeamish about any exposure "of the person than Europeans are, still they are very lax in morals. They are decidedly - inferior in this respect to the Kav- frond° tribe who live to the south- east Of them. The Ketvirondo, in feet; are quite punctilioes in thee deportment. The interesting distinction to be made between these tribes is that While the Bag-ancia, one of the few completely dressed tribesin tropical Africa, hasio no moral code worth mentioning, as far as relations be- tween the. sexes are concerned, the Kavirondo, one of the -few tribes in tropical Africa that wear no cloth- ing of any description maintain a comparatively high standard of mor- "l'iltYia lcontrast between these two peoples is the most striking ilhtstra- tion yet adduced in support of thq assertion, often made, that the!. moral standards in vogue among the barbarous peoples of Africa can- not be measured by the ameunt of clothing they wear. The Massai women also, who live fiirther east, are completely differen- tiated from their half-clad sisters of other tribes by the fact that no -wo- men fin the world are more complete- ly clothed than they are. Every line of their forms is ENTIRELY VEILED by the flowing robes that are fasten- ed around their necks and drop to their feet, but no one has ever thought that the Massai woinen were at all prudish. A traveller who has recently - re- turned from the line of the Uganda Railroad says that a section .01 the Massai people seems .:to be threat- ened with extinction... The ,da,ugh, - ters and mothers among them 'Leek a great fancy: to the Indian cOolie Who graded the road bed; and when the work was done and hundreds of the natives of India left the Massai Country a great many oe the native women went with them. , Sir. Rarry Johnston says that through the efforts of the numerous missionaries who are working ainong them, the Baganda, on the whale, are moving toward a higher plane of morality. These excelrent men who have, at least nominally. C011 - vested many thousands of tbe na- tives to the .Christian faith. are re- lieved of elle burden which their brethren in some other parts of Af- , rica have thought it important to assume.. As the Baganda are fully clothed it is not necessary to agi- tate in favor of clothing reform. Atmany of the Congo missionsta- tions, on the other hand, the teach - 029, whether .wisely or' not, insist in dressing the children of theft schools much as country boys and girls in Coracle, ore dressed.
