A London, Ont., despatch says :—A myo. terious double tragedy oeourred in London, on Sunday morning. At 7 o'clock the dead body of Henry Herbert Thomson, a young Soot:Amen, WAS found in the river a short distance below the city. He had been riding in a canoe and the arms ,were en. twined around the Beat of the Draft. lila MANLIER TAXES 5RU0SIO aerie Thomson was engaged to Miss Bella Mo- Rsohnle of Simooe street, a handsome and accomplished young woman whom he had met at Glasgow four years ago when the MoKeohnie family were visiting that place When the young woman heard of his death' about 10 o'clook at her house she immediate- ly swallowed three ounces of prussic acid and was dead in a few moments. PENNILESS, LIR OLAIMED TO ER 4MILLIONAIRE, Thomson Dame to the oily /our month ago and put up at a leading hotel and repro stinted himself as a partner with his father and brother in eu large steamehip line with headquarters in Glasgow. He was 30 years of age and appeared to be flush of money. He renewed friendship with Miss MoKeoh- nie and they were shortly affianced. It is now discovered that the man has not a sent of money and owes for four week's hoard and numerous other bills. s i5OMSON soPrrant» THE POISON. It was also learned at the inquest that the poison used by .'piss Mofteehnie was furnished by Thomson, and upon this fact is based the suspicion of premeditated double suicide. The young couple had been down the river in .the canoe the pre- vious evening, and after seeing her home Thompson had returned to the boat. It is believed that the man is not what he re. presented himself to be, and after disclos- ing his circumstances to his betrothed it was mutually arranged that they should each commit suicides in the manner desorib. ed. Thomson's relatives in Glasgow have been cabled to. The girl is the daughter of a widow in comfortable ciroumstanees, BULL FIGHTING IN SPAIN. The Passions for the Brutal sport Appears to he on the Increase. There does not seem to be much solid foundation for the reported deoline is the popularity of bull -fighting in Spain, and in the South of Frenoe the passion for the brutal sport appears to be on the increaser A letter to a London newspaper says :— "There is not a town of any importance in the South of France which does not boast its arenes, either permanent or tem- porary, that is to say, in existence during the holiday season. At Bayonne there has recently been constructed an arena which rivals the San Sebastian establishment at a cost of many thousand pounds. At Mont- de-Marsan, at Dax, at Bordeaux, and at many other towns in the South of France, bull-Sghting is as common a sport in the summer months as it is in Spain in the winter. The "sport" moreover, is extend- ing northwards, and the latest piece of news in matters tauromaohic is that a magnificent arena is to be inaugurated this season at Lyons. And be it noted that it is not the old-fashioned baiting, after the style of the courses laudeens, that ie in question, but the realSpanish bull -fighting, with all its horrors of blood and cruelty. The skilful landais tourneys, where no blood was shed, and where the danger was great for the athletes, are found fiat and profitless by the present generation. They will tell you at the Nimes or the Bayonne arenas that a genuine Spanish fight, with horses, picadors, and all the rest of it, will draw six bimes se much money as the most classical landais bout, and the natural consequenoe thereof needs no expounding," A CLEVER DOG. It Always (tides With Its Master on tit Locomoi Ire. There le an engineer out on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad who is the owner of a dog whioh is possessed with a good deal more than the average amount of canine intelligence. This dog is a bright little water spaniel and has been accustom• ed to ride. with his master on the engine since he was a puppy. He goes to the roundhouse about bhe time for his master's train to be made up, and mounts his own engine, having no difficulty in pinking out from the 20 or moro other engines standing in the roundhouse. He rides on the fire. man's side of the cab, wit' his head and paws both hanging mat :of the window, intently ;watching that track. He often scents cattle at a long distanoe. When they appear in sight he becomes greatly excited and barks furiously, looks fent ab Glom and then at his master as though trying to make him understand the gravity of the situation. On a nearer approach to them he becomes almost frantio, and if it becomes necessary to come to a full stop, he bounds out of the oeb, and, running ahead, drives the trespaseers out of harm's way. He is well known to all the railroad then along the line, and if, by oltanee, he gets left at any station ho invariably boards the first train for home, where he patiently awaits the return of hie master, ``The Ilnknowable, Binka Winkera is a great friend of yours, isn't he ?

The North British Agrioulburiat says: "The. Clydesdale Horse Society has fallen upon sadly altered times. The collapse of the Clydesdale exportation trade has reduc.n ed to the vanishing point the reveueform- erly derived by thesooiety from the issuing of exportation certificates, while, by the same cause, the revenue formerly derived from the entry of stallions has also been immensely reduced, In the end of the 'Eighties' hundreds of volts were registered and kept as stallions for the American market; but now the same °lees of colts are kept as unregistered geldings, and, Booth to say, they are more valuable as geldings than the ba any y right to be as second-rate stallions.” From which it would appear that "second -pleas stallions" were the sort "kept for the American market."

He emphatically denounced the sale of milk from affected cows as a means of spreading the disease, specially among infants. A Dairy Teachers' Union has been organ ized in England with the following avowed bjects : 1. To promote a better system of onduoting examinatiouns at dairy schools nd judging atbutter-makiugcompetitions. To keep a register of qualified dairy eaohers. 8. To raise the standard of dairy eaohing. 4. To formulate a syllabus of nstruotion suitable for traveling dairy ohools. 5.

The course of instruction extenda ver a period of two years. One of the leading crops of the island ot ormosa is the oil bean. Two kinds are uitivated, both being related to the soja eau. To extract the oil the beano are first T ushed under a great stone wheel ten feet diameter, which is drawn around by coulee in a concentric channel containing e beans. The crushed beano aro made to n cake with straw, and the oil is ex. preened by very primitive appliances. After the oil is extracted, the cakes are taken from the press, the metal bands and straw casings removed, and, after being left to dry for awhile, they are shipped away for manure. The beet industry is one of the most important branches of agriculture and manufacture in Russia, and beet sugar not only supplies the whole wants of the Rus- sian Empire, but is exported in very con- siderable quantities to Austria, Germany and other countries. The United States consul general at St. Petersburg says that the cultivation of beets took its rise in Russia at the beginning of the present centuryeimultaneouslywithitsintroduction into Western Europe. The Government from the Brat has taken an exceedingly active interest in this industry, mut it has been strongly supported by the several rioultural and economic soopet:es of the pire.

Mr. Truax says: "I have been for about ten years very much troubled with Indigestion and liyspepsia, have tried a great many different kinds of patent medicines, and have been treated by a number of physicians and found no benefit from them. 'I was recom- mended to try the Great South American Nervine Tonic. I obtained a bottle, and I must say I found very great relief, and have since taken two more bottles, and now feel that I am entirely free from Indigestion, and would strongly recommend all my fellow -sufferers from the disease to give South American Nervine an immediate trial.

The dairy industry hoe made rapid pro- gress in theist during the last few years, At the Government dairy stations on Prince Edward Island about $1,000 worth of cheese is being made daily. The farmers are quite enthusiastic over this new bueinees whioh has been established in their midst. In 1892 there was only one dairy station in operation on the Island ; this year there are 18, at two of whiohbutter is being made. Arrangements have been made for a very large GATnERING 00) FARMERS at Charlottetown in August, when it is expected that their Exaellenoiea the Cover. nor•General and Lady Aberdeen will be present. Mr. Robertson says that about 8,000 or 9,000 people are expected at the demonstration and hopes that ex.Governor Hoare., of 'Wisconsin, will be able to accompany him to the maritime provinces at thee time to speak at one large gathering in each of the provinces—Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick, In Nova Scotia the experimental farm at Nappan, under the care of 0o1. ,Blair, is looking unusually well. The farm is now Showing the excellent results of his good ntauagemenb and of the exbeasive draining which has been done there in past years. The dairy station at Nappan is receiving a largely iuoreased patronage, the quantity of milk deliverer daily being nearly three times what it was lastyear, or over 10,000 pounds par day, and taxing the building to its utntostoapaoiby. Alarge number of new choses factories and butter factoriss.have . been started in the, province this summer; The Mayor and Town Council of Truro:are making arrangements to receive a large gathering of farmers there at the time of the Governor•General's visit. Seating as- commodatiou will be provided in the beauti- ful park adjacent to Truro to accommodate 3,000 or 4,000 people. In New Brunswick the Dominion travel- ing dairy is meeting with great success. An average of six meetings, with two ses- Bions each, are held every week. The Mayor and City Council of Fredericton, co-operating with the provincial authorities are making arrangements for A GREAT DEMONSTRATIOF of farmers to assemble at Fredericton on the occasion of the visit of his Excellency the Governor•Generah The several meet- ings ot the farmers, at whioh his Ex- cellency will be present, are to take the place of the dairy picnics which were ar- ranged for during Met winter. It is hoped by means of them to attract the attention of the farmers of these provinces more emphatically to the benefits that will re - Bug by the extension gf dairy farming, and also to bring " before the public of Great Britain and northern Europe the excellence of the quality of the products which are available for shipment. The marltine provinces also offer unsurpassed opportunities for dairy farmers who may want to emigrate from Great Britain and who have from £500 to £2,000 of oapital, together with the valuable experience which they have gained in the old country.

Hammond, daughber of n British army officer, and a southern woman, aunounoed that she would display from a window o ser house a confederate flag on July 4. An ngry crowd, on learning of her intention, gathered in front of the place, determined to tear down the flag if it appeared. The orowd was so threatening that Lieut. Swift, of the police, called upon Mrs. Hammond and advised her not to hang out the bag as, owing to the demands made on his forma by the strikers, he would be unable to protect her. Mrs. Hammond then hung out a British flag, which a small boy, taking for tee confederate banner, promptly romptl Y tore down and destroyed. The crowd returned later and decorated the promises with the national colors.
