AT the Bale of there' bred Short horn
oattle at the Hamilton Slookyarde
Wednesday of last week a great interest
was mauifested, so meth so that over
300 buyers .attended. There were 60
bead sold, averaging $442 and totalling
$19,920. One animal belooging to W. D.
Platt was bought by Hon. Mr. Kelly, of
Ohio, at 0925 00. Blood tells evidently.
FROM the Monthly Balietin issued by
the Provincial Board of Health for
Ontario we glean that there were 476
oases of diphtheria in November oat of
which 64 deaths occurred. 137 people
died from Consumption for the eame
month. There were 169 deaths in
Ootober from this terrible disease. Huron
County wad reported with a case of
smallpox and 8 of diphtheria.
THERE must be good money in Toronto
Street Railway Co. At the unease
meeting last week the (statement showed
the groes earnings to be $2,172,087 for
1903, an inorease of over $337,000 upon
1902, About $380,000 were spent in im•
provemeate, alternations, dao. Toronto
pity received about 0299,000. Over 53
million passengers were Carried during
the year as' oompared with 44487,078 for
the previous twelve months. By these
figures it would appear that the "We
Walk" oarde are not much in evidence.
GEORGE 0 OSEHLMAN, who has been
Director of Farmers' Institutes, will be

fill the bill. Mr. Coalman is a graduate
of the College. The Ontario Agricultural
College can give pointers to the beet of

management is conceded by both political
parties. It wee never in better shape

BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT.
The work of the collegiate ie Carried on
in a fine brick building on College avenue.
Edmonton has the distinction of having
the only eohool building need exalosively
for high eohool purposes in the Territor-
iee. There are three large, well lighted
class rooms and a laboratory splendidly
equipped with all the applianoee and
chemical apparatus neoeseary for the

for thie department alone.
The collegiate has oleo a well seleoted
library of technical and literary works
for the use of the students. The Board
of Traeteea, with a right appreciation of
the value of a library in the school has

from Chentu, China.
The beet point of view is from the oily
wall, so mounting our wheels which we
frequently do, we will run down the
street of the "Pour Sacred Sages," upon
which we live, through the neat arobed
gateway, across the great parade ground,
and is fire minutes are up to the wall.
Upon the inside it is a steep, grassy elope
which we ascend by olimbing oueof the
000asional oblique footpaths, pushing oar
wheels before us. Beaching the top we
oao walk along the embankment to one
of the small arched doorways,
orhasten
matters by lifting oar wbeele over the
low parapet nut more than three feet
high. At ono you are in a -Chinese
Cyclist's olover. The top of the wall,
fully forty feet wide, is paved with large
grey bricks, resembling flag atones in
color and size. As they are well fitted
and perfectly smooth, one may spin along
at cinder track speed, as few natives
straggle along the wade to impede pro•
gree:, and as yet there are no laws against
scorching.
Before starting upon this fifteen mile
ride around the city we will arose to the
outer side of the wall, and olimbing into
one of the look out breaches of the eight
toot parapet, have a look at the dater
world. One thinks at once of some oy
clorams, for Ohentu is situated in the

Bat we will mount our wheels now. A
few windings out for the brook house, al
many throe in for the gun meande, and
two miles along the wall takes us to the
North gate. Here, upon the top of the
great arab, is a tower, the lower story
quartering the guard, while that shove is
a watch tower. Here the wall ie cloth 'ed

proreotion, and pet here I would find h

of the journey for another' day. Not far
away are the recently establiebed quart•
ere of the British Conaai•General, with
his assietanteand still farther in the China
Inland Mission, the oldest established
