Teir, and Mrs. Douglas were both rawrty from hone at the time of the fire and thus everything in the barns was burned, A colt and some pigs were in the stable at the lime and were consumed. All the im- plements saved is a hinder whiclh happened to be in the barn of Mr. Douglas' brother. The . loss is a Partici-tarty heavy one as the eea son's crons were all stored a way ie the building. The, barns and con- tents were insured for $2100.00 in the Hay Farmers.' Fire Ins. Co., but this does not cover the loss by a large sum. This vicinity was well represent- ed at the Zurich show.

The vital question whether Em- pire lines shall be or shall not bo, is at last decided so far as New York is concerned. All high-class establishments have declared them- selves upon the affirmative side, and are now busily preparing gowns out with the elevated. waist - lino that is a distinctive foature of the Empire dress. It has taken some time to persuade the Amara ewe woman to adopt the new fash- ion, but from the present indicate ions it will be seen inall dressy gowns throughout the Winter. and promises to become general toward Spring. Rejected at first as too radical, the picturesque but daring unconventional lines of the Empire gown have beee gradually modified until Josephine herself would fail to recognize, in the present-day product. the distinctive dress of her period. The belt -line of the Empire gown is considerably high- er than nature indicate, the skirt, is fuller 'and more graceful than the one from which it takes its name, and the long lines that fall from the softly draped bust are• decided- ly more chaste. Tho long coats and paletots, like the dressy gowns, show Empire lines, real or else simulated by crossed bands, rev: rs, and deep yoke effects.—From :the October DELINEATOR.

In the Gilmour Hotel fire, Otta- wa, last Friday, three men lost their lives. It is estimated that the Western Fair Board will be from $6,000 to $3,000 ahead on the week, It is believed that the customs officers at Windsor have unearthed, a big ensing,gline scheme carried on by Assyrian pedlars. The govern- ment is sending special officers khroughoeit Western Ontario in search of these goods. People marvel at the nieehanisin of the human body with 248 bones and 60 arteries. But noon is simple in this respect compared with the carp. That remarkable fish moves no fewer than 4,386 hones and muscles every time i r breathes. It has 4,320 veins, to say nothing of its 06 muscles. The, most astonishing outbreak in all Germany is the wrath of the trades people of Essen and of Ber- lin at the Krupp girls and their wedding ' garments. The richest heiresses in Germany are blamed for taking the bread from the poor man's mouth. They have made their own wedding clothes. The corn erop in the county of Essex this year is immense. The nubbins are larger than last year's ears. There's no crop grown which gives as big returns as corn, when the yield is good. It's so safe you can feed it to everything from a dog up. The oat crop is dila ppcint- ing,. The yield is alright but the weight is not there. Here is another reason, from The Kingston News, why young men. go West : "Mr. George Dickson. M. E., a son of C. Dickson, of the Inland Revenue Department, was in Pincher Creek, Alberta. a few days ago, when he took advantage of the duck shooting season to shoulder his gun and start out with two friends. The three of them. bagged 86 ducks in one afternoon, and gave a pair to every friend in town. It was a great co -arrest to Kingston conditions, where one pian stayed out two days on the duck hunting grounds, and brought back one paltry pair." Miles Finlen, the rich Montana copper miner; visited some relativ- es in .bay G:ity, Mich., recently. He attended services in an old wooden church, and while ther a rainstorm came up. The roof leaked and. some water fell on Finlen's neck. After the services had ended he asked one of the ehnreh officials.: "W;'hv in blazes don't you give peapie a decent place to worship in?" ''I suspect it's because we• haven't the money," was the sug- gestive reply. Next afternoon Hitt- terial for a new roof began to arrive in front of the church, and Finsen walked into the pastor's study with a check for t750. "Fix up your old roof," is all he said., Protect The Trees.=°Attention is being called to the big bunches of what appear to be cobwebs in many of the branches of the trees throughout the city," says an ex- change. "If you examine them yon will notice that they are literal- ly teeming with small caterpillars. These caterpillars are known its the fall web worm, and are particul- arly destructive to the foliage of the trees. They are especially fond of maple and elm trees. and in nlanv 1r.irt:t of tate country where they ha.t-e been allowed to go un- checked the trees are almost entire- ly stripped of their leaves. The worms . increase very fast, and in some counties they have gained. such headway that it will take considerable time and a great deal of patience before they are exter- minated. There is only one remedy to destroy them, either by slaking a torch and burning them, or by cutting off the branches and making a bonfire." Why this fatalistic forty? The superstition about St.,, Swithin ex- tends not only to 40 days of rain, but to 40 days of drought, accord- ing as July 15 is wet or dry. Moses was 40 days on the mount. Elijah was 40 days fed by •ravens. It rained 40 days to make the flood, and the waters that covered the. earth were 40 days in subsiding. The ancient period of embalming was 40 days. Nineva,h had 40 days to repent. Jeans Christ farted 10 days. He' was seen 40 days after his resurrection. A quarantine ex- tends 40 days. The privilege of sanctuary was for 40 days. In the tale of Ali. Baba there are 40 thiev- es. Tiberius said that a .Han is either a fool or his own physician at 40. When a uaan wants a short nap he takes 40 winks. A knight enjoined 40 days of service from. na English 't h piste nt.-lucid h awt o g limit for the payment of a fine for manslaughter was 40 days.
