proportion to its live weight.
addition, any coarseness or rough-
ness moans a class of beef not relish-
ed by the consumer, as it contains
too much bone and gristle. In brief,
the market demands the very highest
proportion ot good eatable meat on
the very best cuts -the loin, the rill,
the sirloia and tho quarter.
The only eveY to get such quality
is by, breeding from good beef stock.
The product of the dairy bull or

value for the export or any other
beef trade. Tho product of a Short-
horn, Aberdeen Angus Hereford, or
Galloway bull en C0111111011 or even

many cases, to grow into the most
excellent beef. The use of such a sire
as mentioned above on half -bred
cows of ally of the beef, breeds guar-
antees a good frame for beef and,
generally speaking, an ceptituto for
the laying on the right sort of meat
in the right places. The size of ani-
mal required for the best trade is
from 12 to 15 hundred pounds. A
nice weight is 1350 pounds. Such a
weight suits the very best home mar-

Steers may weigh this at 2 yerus
old; they should weigh it at 8 years
old, without fail. Too many never
reach such proportions till 4 years
old, and in sortie sections never get
near such weights. The cost of
transportation will alwayS keep the
size up to the above merttioned pro-
portions, because the freight is
charged so much per animal, uot per
ton. The anish. or condition of the
beef sent is a tuost important con-
sideration. Owing to much of our
exported beef in the past having
been unripe or unfinished ; that is
not sufficiently fatted, we have won
for ourselvee the honor of naming a
cert..ain class of beef. Any shipment
or part thereof that does not come
up to the standard for quality and
finish is -called "Canadian," whether
it haile from our shores or not.
Such beef sells from 3..c to 3c per
pound less than is paid for good
American beef. Thus we labor under

An amusing. story of this kind is
told Of Seejeant 'auto, an eccentric

him that he was
"NOT SITTING IN CAMERA."
But what is to be said of a sober
and sane country vicar, .who had
united scores of couples and yet
completely overlooked his own turn
when it came? Less than two years
ago the vicar of a parish in the Mid -
lends was to have been married to
the daughter of a neighboring squire
in a churth ten miles distant from
his own. The happy morning came,
but brought no bridegroom with it;
and 'as the hour tieeed foe the wed-
ding struck and still there was no
sign of his coming it began to be
feared that something very serious
had happened to aim. A mounted
grown was despatched in hot haste
to find the laggard bridegroom and,
if necessary, to abduct him to the

ful delusion that he had ono more
day of celibate freedom, and was evi-
dently determined to enjoy it to the
utmost. However, he proved himself
a man of resource and action; for
within an hour he had reached the
church on his bicycle, and his desper-
ate bride was restored to happiness
again.
Only a few raontlis ago a breach of
promise case illustrated the risks of
a bad memory. Again it was the
rnan who was the culprit thoW is it
that, ladies never suffer from such
lapses of memory?) This thoughtless
groom had so far forgotten his wed-
ding day that he complacently took
his usual train to the city and had
got thrOugh a large part of his dally
work before it dawned on him that .

TIIS PRESENCE ELSEWHERE.
He took a cab and drove furiously
to his bride's house, only to find her
in bysteries and all her Smelly boil-
ing with anger and indignation. The
hour fixed for the ceremony had long
passed, and tho bride vowed that un-
der no conditions would she marry
such a "laggard ill love," a resolve
in which her friends supported her.
The bereaved bridegroom ultimate-
ly brought an action for breach of
promise, in wbich these facts were
revealed to an amused court; and, aS
was perhaps not unnattmal, the fair
defendant scored a verdict as com-
pensation for losing a husband.
A characteristic story Is told of a
well-known chemist of the middle af
lest century who lost a wife through
his absorption in science. The morn-
