returned from Kincardine the same Pore•

without the daily papers, even for a day,
is regarded as quite a hardship these

LEVEL BEanEn.—Your oorreapoodent
would like to euggect the need of reform
in the manner of conducting funerals, in
regard to which it is the fregaeet ground
of complaint that they do not leave the
house at the time oppomted,.and in the
severe weather of our Oanedtan Winter
tbone who remain waiting are liable to
take cold. Let arrangements be made
beforehand so that the eervioe may be
concluded and the hearse ready to leave
the hour announced. Another suggestion:
as a rule mention is made in the ohnrohae
of those wbo died duriug the preceding
week, and in many oases eervi008 are held
in their memory. This own be done in
warmth and shelter, and renders nn.
neae0eary long services cm the day of the
funeral. It would be well it an earnest
effort were made by alt religious bodies
and lodged to ehorteo if possible all forme
of eervioe for the dead on the day of the
funeral, remembering that the weather
is n0 reepeotor of persona and that many
oases of serious illness may be traced to
the viotim'e having naught cold while
waiting for a funeral to start.
WELL Keowet re Bltuosees. — J. D.
Stewarb, of Rosseldale, Follarton town-
ship, has been appointed to take charge
of Oauediten food products at the Glas-
gow exhibition. "Mr. Stewart will leave
for Ottawa on the 16011 inst., and wilt
sail shortly afterwards for Glasgow.
Appointment is an eminently appropriate
one. Mr. Stewart spent 16 years of hie
younger life in Glasgow, 10 of which wee
as a traveller in the wholesale grocery
trade. For 21 years he wae a traveller
in tde same bueineee in Ontario, at the
same time managing sucaeeofully a small
stook and fruit farm at Rooseldale, where
he aohieved a high reputation for his
Jersey cattle, fruit and poultry. For the
past 8 years he has been taking a reek
from commercial pursuits, giving his en.
tire attention to hie farm. With his in-
telligence, the wide knowledge he poseeeees
of the country, and his Glasgow memo -
tion, he should make a most valuable
official, and his many friende in business
oirolee in Western Outerio, as well au
the farming community, will be pleased
to hear of hie appointment. Mr. Stewart
its capable in every way to perform the
duties and ie possessed of an enthusiasm
for his adopted oonntry which will prove
to his advantage in drawing the atten.
tion of visitors to the exposition to our
food products and to the Dominion as an
nosurpaoeed field for intending immi.
grants.
ROOM FOR AROnmENT.—At a repent
meeting at Toronto of Fall Fair prompt.
ere the following doubtful statement is
given :—"F. Metcalf, of Blyth, said there
should be a fairer distribution of the
funds allowed agricultural associations.
"In our riding," said Ise, "the electoral
district show ie bald at Brussels. That
has a grant from the province of 9380,
while our township show held at Blyth
received 9117. Still our show is the
better of the two. Our gate receipts last
year, on the basis of 10 and 15 cents per
head totalled 4735.86 while the receipts
at Bruesele were lees than $500." We
have not the slightest objection for Mr.
Metcalf to say all the nice thine he
likes about their Fall Fair, which Der•
Minty does attract a large attondanoe,
bet hie oomparieone ebould be fair.
When be states that Blyth show is better
than Breeze's there ie room for a wide
difference of opinion. Gate reoeipls are
not the only criterion of the etanding of
a Fair, but even in thio respect Mr.
Meteatf'e opinion regarding our gate re-
turne (at 10 and 15 cents and every mem.
her supplied with two tickets) is wide of
the mark. A OonParl90n of prize lists
would prove interesting along the line as
to which 10 leader. If we are not mitt -
taken Blyth Fair directors only give one
tioket to eaoh member which will of
coarse lend valuable aid to their gate
money, bat jostloe the members for the
extra coin.
