The chewier; are they may not agree with your disposition of V. P. honors. Now that the East Huron Farmers' Institute hag a supine of 0125 on band, would it not be a good idea for their Direotore to offer a couple of good prizes in connection with the East Huron Fall Fair 9 The Institute's chief aim is to encourage and aid the tiller of the soil, and this is a very practical way of ex- hibiting it. There is already a fair lending library belonging to the insti- tute so that there is little necessity for additions to be made in this direction. What do the Direotore say to to oar sueeestion ?

Tan political kaleidoscope for the'past week presents a number of interesting events. One is the withdrawal of the protest against M. Y. McLean, M. P. P., for South Huron. Mr. McLean courted the closest investigation and although a good deal of bluster was indulged in by his opponents it has ended where it began 'with Mr. MoLeau as M. P. P. Another point is the placing of Valentineitatz, the well-known 'leave of Stephen township, Huron Cotmty, in the field es Reform candidata in North Middlesex.

ON Tuesday of last week the Dominion Supreme Court rendered decision on reference by the Dominion and Provin- cial Governments on the power of the Provincial Government to pass a Pro. hibition Act. The decision in effect was that the Provisoes have no power to pass such an- Aot. The case will likely at once go to the Privy Council for final judgment. The full text of the decision shows that. by three judges to two, the Court decided that the Provinces have not the power to prohibit the sale, that the Provinces have not the Power to even probibit the retail sale, that they cannot prohibit the sale where the Scott Act is not in force, that they menet limit the sales where the Boott Act ie in force, and that Ontario has no jurie- diotion to pass the Local Option Aot. The Court was unanimous in the view that the importation and manufacture were eabjeote outside the Provincial jurisdiotion. This makes two opposing judgments on Local Option, through the change of one of the judges of the Court, it being three to two the other way be. fore. The prohibition of retail sale was the object of a bill introduced by Mr. Harter, the present leader of the Opp. sition. The ground taken by the At- l en far as the Ganges is ooncernec . The torneyGeueral was that the juriediotion Hindoo loathes to touch the dead as to do of the Province was at least extremely doubtful, and that the passage of the Aot of doubtful validity would imperil the efficiency of the law then regulating the traffics, throw the license system in. to confusion, and bring about whole. sale litigation. The Privy Council may change the whole situation.

The worst storm of the season this week ; itis impossible to drive a horse to the elation. The baker could not get through from Wingham and litany • were hungry for bread. The Chinese have again been defeated by the Japanese, Pugilists Grillo and Dixon fought 20 rounds to a draw at Ooney. Island on Saturday night. Alvin L. Dennison, the father of the American system of watchmaking, has just died in Birmingham, England. Harry Giddings, the Auetro.Canadian. hor.eman, has purchased the trotting stallion, The Wasaer at Simooe and eix mares at New York for abipment to Austria. The preliminary debate on the anti. revolution hill was concluded in the German Reichstag on Saturday, and the bill was referred to a committee of 28 members. The few brave ones who faced the storm on Tuesday evening received a rare treat in the lecture of. Miss McWilliams on her mission work and field in Indore, India. Miss McWilliams considers the native Indian an intelligent and active person. As farmers they grow large °rope though they do not feed the soil ; agricultural im- plements are of the most crude nature ; no plows of the kind we use ; no thrash- ing maohinee ; no fanning mills ; no reapers are in use. The tools of the mechanic too are of the poorest kind though beautiful work is done with them, The Christian entering Indiaie not struck so much with the idol and idol worsbip as with the effect of ages of it on the people. Idols as we understand them are not the sole objects of worship. A few rough stones hastily collected over which some red or other colored paint lin poured is also an object of worship, not only to the one who has collected them but to others wbo may pass that way. Then there are also days set apart for the worship of money and various animals. The Christain worshiper might learn one good lesson from these people and that is that they never come to the worship of any idol without bringing a gift. At this point the speaker in a few words showed up the miserable system of raising money by ten -meetings, private theatrecals, &o. The Hindoo believes that he can lay np merib and one of the methods ie to carry water from the Ganges to Western rivers so that in time those rivers may become eacred and then they will cast their dead bodies into them despite the orders of the English who now prohibit this practise Guetin Gieoa, an Italian, had hie head fatally orosbed by a quantity of ice fall- ing upon hits from a roof on Saturday. A. B. Forbes, of Dover township, has a watch which has been in the family for the past 250 years. Though it is so old, it is still running, and Mr. F. olejmi that it keeps good time. The Proviaoe of Quebec used to reap $1.2,000 yearly from licensee on peddlers, The bill imposing a tax of 0100 on ped. dlers wihioh oamebebore the Legislature this eeeeion, ie deferred till next year at the request of an influential deputation. It is now feared by the Winnipeg police that A. M. Dalton, the missing Neepatva banker, hae been murdered for hie money. He had a large amount with him when he eo mysteriouely die - appeared a week ago.

The dead body also ppolutes the house, as death approaches the dying person is hurried out that he may die under a tree or by the river bank.' A curious custom of the Parsee was given. As death approaches the dying man has the soles of his feet and other parte of his body rubbed with cream that has been kept until nearly decayed. The family dog ie called in and if he licks off all the cream the soul of the dying man goes at once into a state of happiness, if only part then the soul will not go at once but after a time, if not at all then it will never reach the state of bliss. Miss Mc- Williams was present when the last wag the case and she said the wail of anguish that went up from that household as the clog turned away was one she would never forgot. The power of caste is very strong and to be outcast is the greatest misfortune that can come to man. The different trades and occupation belong to different Wastes and a child Who hae been born in the emote to w lch Carpenters belong, for instance must be a carpenter no matter how unfitted for the work he may be.
