GRETNA GREEN AND THE GALWAY.
Octan Enl•roe.--We now pass from
England into Seathied, After Crossing
the burster the first place worthy of
notice is the little village called Gretna
Green, familiar to many as the place
where clandestine marriages were cele.
brated fur about the space of Too years.
The Scoth taw. allows valid marriages
to be contracted simply by the consent
of the parties, although for purposes of
proof it is desirable that the ceremony
occur -in the presence of witnesses.
Previous to the year 1753 runaway
couples were:married by ithe chaplains
of a noted prison in Loudon called
Fleet Prison. We are told that these
marriages were a scandal to England
and especially to London and by Act of
Parliament in the aforementioned year
were abolished. The consequence was
that runaway marriages began to be
performed at Gretna Green, such mar-
riages being
arriagesbeing valid in Scotland, where
they were performed, were held to be
valid in England where its celebration
in the same manner was a criminal of-
fense. The first house over the border
was a toll kept by a blacksmith, the
self constituted priest. who performed
the ceremonies. Hekepta register
and gave a certificate. The certificate
commenced Kingdom of Scotland,
County of Dumfries, Parish of Gretna.
To all whom it may concern. The cer-
tificate signed by witnesses. He had a
great many competitors, but the black-
smith got the lion's share of the busi-
ness. Every tipling house had its own
official and in course of time competi-
tion finally reduced the fees to about
sixty cents. Sometimes there were as
many as 200 marriages celebrated at
Gretna in a year. In 1856 an Act was
passed requiring a residence of twenty-
one years by one of the parties in Scot-
land in order to make the marriage
valid, so at one fell blow the unnatural
prosperity of Gretna vanished and re-
turned to its ancient state of prosperity.
The Solway Firth forms the natural
boundary between England and Scot-
land. The Scotch border, County of
Dumfries, is a pleasant pastoral land
with soft rounded hills and secluded
valleys, where the ruins of old feudal
castles remind one of a troubled past.
The bards bave left a legacy of border
ballads, they preserve. as o01y literature
can the joys and sorrows, the hopes and
fears of other days. The tourist stream
flows strong during its season among
those historic spots on the Solway,
There exists among the people a gen-
eral knowledge of the famous events in
border history and a pardonable pride
in the gallant deeds of their forefathers.
The establishment of the Tweed mills
on the border bas made a great change
and towns have sprung up as they do
with us in the great West. In 183r
Galashiels had a little over 2000 of a
population now it has 14,00o, while
Hawick and Selkirk have progressed
much the same way. These man-
ufactories have brought great wealth
to the people, workman's wages have
about doubled and as a result the people
have left the glens and crowded into
towns. Another place on the Solway
is Kirkconnel on the Kirtile water and
in the lonely churchyard of Kirkconnel
the graves are pointed out of Helen and
her lover. The tragedy is commemor-
ated in a ballad. Helen was courted by
two gentlemen and the one made an
attempt to slay his more favoured rival
but the lady threw herself in the path
of the bullet and fell dead in her lover's
arms. As the story goes be followed
the murderer and slew him after years
of pursuit and at length was laid in the
grave beside his life long lover. He
was a true poet who composed the song
of which I give the sad refrain :—
"I wish I was where Helen lies,
Night and day on me she cries,
0 ! that I were where Helen lies,
On fair Kirkconnel lee."
How wonderful theseeld ballads are
they deal with strong, simple passions
and feelings in a straightforward way.
They thrill us with the fierce joy of
battle ; the constancy of love and the
sweetness of revenge, In spealting of
the Solway Scott says :
"Love swells like the Solway
Butebbslike its tide."
. The tide ebbs for °miles leaving the
sand hard and dry but there is danger
to strangers walking too far out as there
are quicksand spots and the tides, es-
pecially the Sisring tides with fair
winds, will rush in at 8 or To miles an
hour. The spectacle is magnificent, at
the same time terrible, the huge waves
of loam and the great mass of water 5
or 6 feet high tearing along in violent
commotion are things not to be forgot-
ten, Alas for the unhappy wanderer
caught in the flow, But to get a com-
plete view of the Solway we have to
climb Criffel, that majestic mountain
that rises on the North side of the Firth
as from there we can see not only the
whole extent of the Solway but also
the Cumberland mountains, Arran,
Ireland and the Isle of Man.
Between the Criffel and the river Nith
lie the beautiful ruins of Sweetheart
,Abbey. It has its own pathetic history,
Devarguila (mother to John Ballet who
for a brief space held the Scottish
crown) was so devoted to her husband's
memory that for years after kis death
she carried about with her his heart
enclosed in an ivory coffer. She died
in 1289 andb rue
9 wasburied d under the high
alar of Sweetheart t e wash art Abbeyin the grave
where lay the remains of her husband.
Site had raised this noble building to
serve for their common tomb and to
serve also as a sign to future ages that
love is stronger than death,
-We visited for a short time the old
town Of. Arman, population about soon.
There is a,rallWay viaduct across the
Solway from Arman, 296o yards long.
Nearly every village and town in the
old land have been associated with some
interesting event or the birtbplaee of
some noted men or women of which the
people are proud, There was the birth-
place of .Edward Irvine, whose mem.
Ory is still greatly beloved. The elo-
quent preacher --no church was large No, T 88

Stibbeth evening he preached in the Majority for hither 8,
open air, to au immenseY gathering of
people on the banes of the river Arman.
A gentleman who 'heard him says :—
"I shall never forget the uraturic power
by which I was eaptiyated. The moil-
ing of the Lord, the destruction of the
wicked, the millennial blessedness of
the saints and the terrors of the last
judgment were the themes he bandied
with terrible earnestness and practised
power." A shrewd farmer and his son
were heating him and on the way home
the son said "Was he deep father?'
'°He was over deep Tom" was the re-
ply. "I thought he would hae laired,"
1`o lair in Scotch means to sink in a bog,
He and Thomas Carlyle were educated
at Arman High School together and
were close bosom friends until death
parted them. No one mourned for Ir-
vine more than Carlyle. "But for Ir-
vine," he says, "I had never known
what the cotnmunlon of man with man
nteaus. I call him on the whole the
best man I have ever, after trial enough,
found in this world or now hope to
find." Irvine died in Glasgow in 1834,
aged 42, and lies buried in a crypt of
the cathedral there. Carlyle, with all
his knowledge and breadth of mind,
seemed to have some antipathy towards
the Jews and especially to Drisraeli,
whom he reviled both in speech and
print. Disraeli took his reveuge after
be became Prime Minister, and recog-
nizing the commanding intellect of the
great philosopher and the lustre it con-
ferred on his country, he offered Carlyle
the Knighthood of the Grand Cross and
the good fellowship pension, but he de-
clined the title as being out of keeping
with his poor existence also the pension
because be was not in needy circum-
stances. Carlyle says 'The offer is
magnanimous and noble on his part, it
reveals to me after all the bard things
I have said of him, a dignity and man.
liners of character which I had by 130
means given him credit for." "It is, as
my penitentheart admonishes me, a kind
of heaping coals of fire on my head and
I do truly repent and promise to
amend." This incident reveals the
true spirit of the man.
A few days previous to our visit to
Aman they had a Canadian Emigrant
Agent lecturing setting forth the ad-
vantages of Canada representing it as
a second garden of Edeu, rich in gold,
silver and coppor and all precious
things, fortunes easily made without
much effort on their part. The glowing
terms in which the agents picture the
country bring emigrants out with great
expectations hence the disappointment
to many who come.
This same ageut told them that we
had a lake in Canada large enough to
hold all Scotland and if they could
throw Scotland into the lake it would
never be known except for the smell of
the whisky coming up through the
water. Yours respectfully.

CLOVER SEED A PROFITABLE
CROP FOR THE -FARMER.
As was predicted a year ago, there has
been a decided shortage of clover seed
this Spring, A light crop in Europe, the
United States and Canada caused the
stocks for this Spring's trade to be abnor-
mally low, and this resulted in unusually
high prices for good seed,
At present the indications are that the
foreign exporting countries will not pro-
duce more than an average crop of clover
seed, and the Ontario supply is likely to
he short. In some sections of Ontario
the clover crop was seriously aftected by
drought last season, and the amount
available this year for seed production
may be limited. Much the same condi-
tions prevail over a considerable portion
of the clover seed producing area of the
United States; so that unless the yield
front the areas which were not seriously
affected by the adverse weather condi-
tions last season is exceptionally heavy,
a shortage of seed for next Spring's
trade is more than probable.
In view of the conditions cited, the
advisability of utilizing every available
clean field, or part of field, for clover
seed purposes is urged.
In growing clover and grass seed for
the market itis important to bear in
mind that the standard of purity demand-
ed by the Cauadian trade is higher than

James Fox, Druggist
mtt ek sets
it was a few years ago. The demand for
seed of first quality has substantially in-
creased. The result of this demand for
raced of good quality Las been that the
:,red grower linds impure seed,uralhfuLL
onntarketahle 21nunodity, while the pro-
duction of good clean seed has grown t51'
,,be a remunerative industry. Hence the
necessity of taking every possible pre-
caution against the presence of noxious
weed seeds,
The first step in the production of good
i clover and grass seed is to proo,n e flu•
cleanest possible seed. If. this is used „u
Clean land and is followed by a thorough
system of weeding in the field, the pro -
cleat will be clean. The field weeding is
of prime importance, although it is often
overlooked. When we remember that
every growing weed, if allowed to mature
will produce from 10,000 to 50,000 seeds,
it will be readily understood that the re-
moval of these plants must snake a great
difference in the market value of the
seed.
With red clover the best results are ob-
tained by pasturing or cutting the first
crop early. This allows a stronger sec-
ond growth for the seed crop and also les-
sens the danger of damage front the clo-
ver seed midge, If the clover is pastured
the stock should be turned off early in
the season and the field mowed, in order
to cut down the weeds and produce an
even second growth.
Alsike and red clover may be harvested
with a reaper or a mower, with or with-
out a table attachment. If no table at-
tachment is used and the clover is well
ripened, it should be cut and raked when
the dew is on the ground to preveut
sltelling.
The clover huller is the best machine
for threshing Alsike and red clover, but
the ordinary grain separator will do the
work fairly well if .properly regulated.
The grain separator will not hull the seed
• as thoroughly, and in consequence there
is more waste of good seed unless the
straw be threshed a second time, But
the fact that there is uo clover huller
available should not deter farmers from
saving at least sufficient seed for their
own use.

THERE are many kinds of flour sold. Som*
are made from spring wheat and some from
winter wheat.
'What you ought to know is which wheat
slakes the best flour, and why.
Winter wheat is put into the ground in
this fall, grows a few inches, then gives up to
the snow. When the snow melts it grows
again, ripening in July. It matures slowly, is
soft and very starchy. -
Spring wheat is sown .11 late April or
early May, and ripens in August. It matures
rapidly and is therefore strong. :It's a flinty,
translucent wheat, rich in gluten and containing
nearly twice as much real nutriment as the
winter wheat. -

rience, at home or in the barber
shop, that the question is—
Why •doesn't•a razor hold
• its edge uniformly from heel
to head without honing and
grinding?" Whether it is a
safety, with the certain tax of
new blades, or the ordinary
open -bladed razor does not
alter the question. You want
the comfort and satisfaction of
a clean, smooth shave every
morning with the confident
knowledge that your razor
will be ready for instant use
the next time needed.
The Carbo Magnetic razor is
the only razor unconditictv..
ally guaranteed to do this.
Thirty years of study on the
razor situation has perfected
a• new secret • process of
ELEOTRIQ TEMPERING that
positively merges every par-
ticle of carbon (the life of steel)
into the metal—givinga dia-
mond -like hardness. uniformly( ,
throughout the blade•—some-
thing absolutely impossible
with fire tempered steel—used
in making all other razors.
But test this razor in your
own home—or if you prefer,
have your barber use it on you,
Give its your name. ---

Magnetic" .razor, and we will,
