At leastpanie Bummer saycathe Earl of Rose- berry, the Grand Old Maras sucoessor, and Princese Marta, the youngest dough - ter of the Prince of Wale, eve engaged The Princess is by far the best loolung o the daughters, and would be oonsiaared quite pretty even did she not belong to the Royal flintily. But, though only 24 years of age, and thoroughly well edit - opted, good rider and femme her most retainable quality.end useful aocomplisla ment is that she le as excellent a maker of butter as ber mother, She comes honestly enough by that talent through her Danish mother, the little seal -ire kingdom in Northern Europe being justly famed as the home of the best butter makers in the world. What a, splendid example as a prospective wife the Prin- cess Maud sets tbe young women of this great farming country. It does not necessarily follow that eveey pretty girl who can make the best of but. ter—even beat her mother at it—will catch a Premier for a husband, though that would be none too good a thing to happen her, but her chances in the matri- monial marketah of getting a prize ould, and undi oubtedly would, beimmeasurably increased. Dairying—the making of butter and chose—j5 the agrioulturel art 01301,8 all others that modern science and invention, coupled with_ the distance -destroying steamship of to -day, have placed in the -very forefront as a profitable branch of farming in Ontario. Deep set milk pans, power cream separators, the Baboock milk tester, improved churns, new op. paratus and processes for obese making, as well en a better system of packing but- ter for shipment to far away markets, not to mention minor details in which Ile.aided advancement has been made, have praotically revolutionized the dairy busi, loess. Then the slow but sure "breeding up" process going.on in the average miloh cow of the Province through judicious blond. ings with the best blood of wellrecognized milking sheens of cattle, ia an element of extraordinary value in estimating the present worth of this important branch of the greatest industry in the country. The World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, with its sweeping successes for Canadian dairying, is of enormous bene - lit to us in Ontario who will profit by the lessons taught thereby, and follow up the tremendous advantage such an aclvertise- meet as that was of the Province's capa- bilities in the production of the finest butter and cheese. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the 17th annual conventions of the two Dairymen's Associations, those of Easterit and Western Ontario, dealing with cheese making, and that of the Creameries' Association of °uteri°, cover- ing the whole Province in its scope as a gathering of butter milkers, should this year have been brighter and better than any ever hold before. This hopeful condition of things is evi- dent to anyone who will look through the 240 clearly printed pages containing ex- tended verbatim reports of the speeches male, the papers read and the interesting discussions thereon at these meetings, which bas been published under authoriby of theMin 'Minister ok Agriculture, Hon. Sohn larydeu. Incidental to the invaluable technical information for butter and cheese makers imparted by these expert dairymen in their essaas, addresses and tallts morose the table, is a perfect treasure maze of general agriaaltural lore, usefullenowleclge to auy farmer who wants to keep abreast of the times in his profession. The book will be found good reading by all who have at heart the welfare and progress of agriculture in Ontario. All that has been said about the above publication as of especial interest to the farmers of Ontario just now is applicable with intensified relevance to another on. &nation from the saine Governmental source, a special bulletin dated Toronto, May let, 1804, entitled "Dairying in On- tario," prepared by the Department of Agrieultere. A. simple list of the (11100. Mons treated in it with exhaustive care and minute exactness as to facts and figures, must suffice to whet the appetite for this opportune and presently precious pamphlet. Here they are: Have dairy producbs deoreased in price in Ontario as much as grain? Is dairying lees exhaustive upon the soil than other methods of farming Is Ontario adapted to dairying? Have the dairy exports of Canada been increasing or decreasing ? What aboub the exports from the Uni- ted States With what countries other than the United States do tve compete in the Brit- isb market an what way has Denmark gob such a hold upon the British market ? 'What has been done in Ontario in the way of making butter in creameries 1'What is the difference in price between different grades of butter Will the use of improved methods in- crease the quantity of butter ? Are there any other advantages in the co-onerative system of butter or cheese malting ? What will bo the cost of a factory, with plane for a centrifugal creamery, 010700117500 Sons; or one on the orsam gathering principle with a capacity for 500 to 700 cows? What will it cost to equip a factory? Whitt is the best way to start a factory or creamery? What is the beat method of conducting the business ? How may a Dairy Company become in, corporated ? What Acts have boon passed by the Ontario Legislature in re.garcl to Cream- eries and Cheese Factories ? Application to the Department of Agri- enithee, Toronto, will bring copies of those two publications by the Ontario Government to all Who will take the tronble to write on a poet cud their names and eat:Items.

Goo 12, Casey, 312, P. for West Elgin, f has contributed to the St. Therm jour- nal quite an entertaining desoeiption, in purely masouline style, of that swell event the recent drawiug.00m or levee given by Lord and Lady Aberdeen in the Senate Chamber on a Saturday evening, Ms description may not be msb ao fait in the view of Ottawa upper tenalom, but that doesn't veil its readab/eness, After few opening paragraphs Mr., Casey eon- tinues :— The band played the national anthem, and their Excellencies retired bo .the Speaker's rooms, Meanwhile the :heap and the goats were duty sorted into then: several pens, and the chamber was pee. pared for the show. There were two kinds of sheep, by:the-by—the eilkrwool- ed, including afimsters, ex -Ministers and Senatore, gathered in the back corridor, and put first through the mill ; the rued. juin or coarse -wooled, including .menthers of the Commons, were penned m a side coreidor, and came next in order. The gouts including everybody else, formed a mob in the big post office lobby, whore the band elicl its best to deafen them while they meted. Of course the females of each species accompanied their lords and masters. These levees are open to every• body who comes in evening dress, and bearing two visiting cards, and are, so far, quite democratic. Amon' the "goats" might be seen "all sorbs and con- ditions ofamen," from the crispest semi.. moos of Ottawa "hunt ton" to the most hard-working clerks and shop-lteepers— up or down, as you choose to call it. This is an occasion when people—in spite of Shakespeare—do "sauna upon the Order of their going." And that order is as follows :—Away ttp from the bat to the throne is hedged off by a double line of officers (retired and otherwise) in fall uniform. At the en- trance to the "parlous path" you give ono of your Goads to an official who drops it in 11 wastepaper basket. This basketful of pasteboard is afterwards emptied out to be rooted through the press. Then you advence, one after another (like Brown's cows) with suchpresence of mina as your martial surroundings permit, till you come bo the flrst aide de- camp. To him you surrender your other card, and it passes from one side to the other, till ib reaches the last, jest at the moment when you find yourself face to face with the Vice -Regal Splendor, and the Throne I While your. eyes are blinking, and your lungs getting used to the ruined atmos- phere of these elevated regions, I may briefly and unworthily describe Splendour aforesaid. The Splendour of His Ex. is one—and that of Her Ex. is another. His consists largely in the Windsor uni- form. It begins with a dark coat, ornst- ed with gold lace, and bearing on it its owner's jewelled "orders," It is continu- ed downwards by a pair of white satin breeches—appropriately called "small clothes"—ancl white silk stockings. The breeches have pretty little frills at the knees. Tadao of all this is Sir John Campbell Hamilton Gordon, P. C., LL.D., Earl of Aberdeen, Viscotmb Porreartine, Lord Hackle, Viscount and Lord of other places too numerous to mention, and a Baronet of Nova Scotia. His vein, worthy nod (namable Excellency is hardly a typical Scotchmau in physique. In fact (like the Foot Guarcla) he is loudly up to the uni- form—especially the,—ah, well, he would probably not look numb better in Mae He is a middle-sized man, slightly Unlit, with a studious and intellectual face, and plenty of black hair, which shows no white Irma for his forty-seven years. In manner he is nervous—not in sense of shyness—but as if compelled to be al- ways moving hand or foot—and slightly abstracted. His greetings to those pre- sented are friendly and smiling as be• comes a gentleman, tired though he roust be before all is over. Her "Ex's" Splendour consists in "sweetness and liaht"—the sweetness being in her expression, and the light in her hair, and around her corsage, and wherever magnificent dinttonds oan be best displayed. And they certainly are worth displaying—great big fellows like incandescent electroo lights, with a rain- bow round them. Her dress iu black and heavy, and not "low necked" .(as be- came he mourning), with a tram that would cover an average dinner table. I beg paraon, ma'am? What material 2 Didn't I say it was of black, heavy Mack ? Her two little boys, grossed as pages, carry the end of the train when she comes in and goes out. Lady Aberdeen is of generous figure, and apparently of a happy and contented disposition. She was a Miss Majoribanks sister of the English Liberal Whip, whose father was erected Lord Tweeclinouth. Now, if you have gob your breath and eyesighb, you Will proceedato make your bow or "ourohy," according to sex, as your Immo is called by bite Aide. There are many varieties of this per- formance, which I ant enabled, by expert advice, to alas:iffy as follows :—(1) The Nod-bod or jerk, pure and simple, com- mon to both sexes, but DUO. (2) The Nod Emphatic, consists in first raising the chin; and then bringing down lbs head shaaply, as in m silent sneeze—als0 rare. (8) The Vacuous Bow, fixed your eyes on the Splendour in a vacant stare, lips petted, and bend the body slightly without removing the eye. Tlus produces a sinuous or wavy motion of the body considered graceful. (4) The Weeping Willow Bow (men only), drop the head in melancholy wise, fold the body at the hips to a right tingle (a la two -boob rule) letting the arms hang perpeuclionlarly till the fingers needy touch the floor; re- cover slowly to a very weak posture. (5) The Sidewise 'Wobble (men only), a Ooln- binabi0 f the last two, with m sidelong movement to got by before anybody Boos you, followed bye, dash for cover, "The "ourohy," or courtesy, requires more elaberation. Some of your lady readers doubtless Imbrued in yootn—I 4 mean extreme youth of course—the pis and artless movements producing the amorally," though this mark of respect to sohoo/marms and other diguitaries is not so eommon as it need to be, Yet most of them no doubt understand how it ie inanaged better than I could tell them, This forms the basis of moat of the "courtesies" performed at the levee, but many varieties of evolution are grafted on to it. Beginning with (1) the Plain Ourohy, I may notice (2) the Sloppy Side (being Ne. 5 of the male series, compli- (Med by feminine drapeey). The Futile Flop (8) is a vain attempt to realize the great production described later on as the courtesy of state, and amounts to a vague squatting down on the train and other hangings of the dress. Numbers 4 and 5, the Giggly -Wriggle, and the Wagtail Wriggle, are varieties produced by ner- vousness, and sufficiently deaoribed by their names. sim APIAIV WOOL OLIP, 7894 as Ounzotebrissubjeot John Hallam, of Toren to, has issued a circular in his ousvomer With reference to the prospeote of th coming clip of wool, and the priceS bo b realized, there is nothing defiuitely known The delay ab Ottawa in settling the tari on woolen goods has created an Industrie uncertainty and want of confidette in the future ofthe trade. The propose ohauge in the tariff from oompound purely ad valorem duties will [seriously embarrass the tweed, blanket and yarn manufwaories. They will not be abl to successfully collate with the shoddy goods of Headers elcl and Dewsbury under the proposed olmuge, unless the Government take the duty off coal, ma - °binary and other articles now taxed and used as raw material. This is having a very depressing effect on the price of our domestio woole and on the woolen trade in general. Home oompetition has re- duced the priee of Canadian tweeds, blankets and yarns to the lowest possible point, and if the Canadian mills are sub- jeot 1 to the keen competition of these good" under au aa valorem duty with Engatnel, France and Germany, where maol :may and all raw materiel are free of duty, it simply means shuttingup some of the mills in this country. In my opinion this change in the tariff will only benefit the importing and ready-neade clothing trade. The parting of tbe Wil- son 13111 will not affect prices of Canadian wools, as the domesticwools of the United States are now as low, if not lower, than in Canada, but notwithstanding this I am afraid there will be some speculation that: may tease the price of our domestic wools beyond their present values, relying on the expectation that when the duties are taken off in the United States the price will rise. The Americans are nob chang- ing their, tariff on wools to give the Cana- dian wool growers more money for clip, but simply to give the manufacturers of the United States free wool at the lowest possible price in competition with English and forogrt wool markets; and it the dealers and manufacturers through the country can only realize this fad, the clip of 1894 will be bought ab fully 10 to 15 per cent less than mi 1898. Most of the clip of 1898 is still in the hands of dealers and unsold. During the last twelve mouths, large quantities of wool and sheepaskIns, the product of the United States, have found their way into Cannata, at prices much lower than our domestic wools and sheepskins could be sola for here. I would advise caution in belying the Canadian clip, as no money has been made out of Canadian wool for three or four years past. The trend of the trade goes to show that the coining cap should be bought with more oars and at the following prices•:— But here comes Afrs. Gentfleetor, evi- dently full of the high purpose to do the Grand State Courtesy (No, 0), and fully equipped with feathers, puffed sleeves, long train, boquet, and very little corsage. She swims along till she enters the Pre- sence, then, with one eagle glance over her shoulder—to see if there is room for it—she begins to do it. Silence falls on the galleries and floor, and every breath is held with anxieby that the may get safely through. So is mine till 1 gob through the description, for it far above me as to mechanism and technicalities, but 1 can tell how it looks. First comes a drooping of the head, then a general bending or wilting down of the whole figure, then with a sideway swish of the train a fooaseeins to go out backwards and gets a firm hold of a distant spob on the door, (This is purely inferential of course.) Then there is a lurch rearwards, and a motion as if of sitting down on the distant heel—then all these movements are reversed with swanlike grace. Again, in front of lady A.berdeen, and it is over. Alt 1 wasn't it grand ?, Now wo breathe again I No, for Mrs. G. has yet to back out, steering her train (whicli now goes iirst) among many threatening feet Row it is done no fellow oan understand, bub We a powerfol and exciting performance. This has been so exhausting that I can't do justice to the appearance of the ladies themselves—don't know that I could itt any case. They were of three classes— lovely—more lovely—mosb lovely. That's about the way they are made anyhow. They were dressed in puffy things, largely and floppy things, and things of all colors —well, hke the pictures in the Delineator, you know, but a good deal more so. Here, expert advice seems bo be useful to me, and admiration might affect my judgment, so I will subscribe myself, Yours in bewilderment, GEORGE E. CASEY. Presbytery of liaaitland. Presbytery of Maitland met at Wing - ham on Tuesday, May 15th, Rev. D. For. rest, Moderator pro tem. The reaigna. tion of Mr. Davidson was accepted. The Presbytery, while expressing regret that 10 connection which has been so fruibinl of good results in the past should be broken, accept the resignation of Mr. Davidson, of the pastorate of Wroxeter congregation.

The Commission sym- pathizes with Mr. aloQuarrie in seeking to have his veracity vindicated when oer• tain reports were being circulated to the contrary. After mutual explanations Mr. MoQuarrie and kir, Gordon having expressed confidence in each other's ver- acity and both having expressed regret if they had said anything to butt oath other's feelings, and further having agreed to resume their former Christian and friendly relations, the Ooramiesion SOB no necessity tor proceedieg to hear parties or examine witnessea, and with gratitude to God for the feelings mani- fested now decilitre the ease formally closed and reoommend all concerned to follow after the things whicb make for peace.
