MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE SEAFORTH, ONTARIO: NO WITNESSES RIEOUSRED BRITISH COLUMBIA FARMING. Words of Advice to Intending settlers on the Pacific. British Colutnbia and North w,estern Washington are seamed by deep Jrivet-s, along the bottoms of Which very -rich land is found. The mountain ranges which intersect the country are covered to the water's edge with forests of cedar and pine of enormous size and rapidly increasing value, which will for many years support a Wilber industry of great importance. The country is rich in minerals from coal up togold,. from which, as fresh discoveries are made, consideraltle prosperity Ls SUIT to follow. Besides the -Valleys and deltas of the great rivers, whose only drawback is the risk- of being sweiii by floods, there are, in the interior. high plateaus, well adapt- ed for mixed farming, and the. district referred to is one of the best in the pro- vince for suel pursuits. But there is _no free government land, and what there ie open to pre-emption is not, as on the flat country east of the Rocky mountains, staked out in quarter sections, the quality of which can almost be learned in the nearest laud office: Even when the new comer has hunted up a bit of land on which it may be prudent for him to set- tle, he will, as a rule, find that it will takayears of labor, for which his pre- vious experience, even on a farm, .. sup- plies very little guidance. It is only a few months since a newspaper, publish- ed in this very, Gold Mountain district, found it necessary to publish the follow- - ing much needed warning. "There is absolutely no room in this portion of the interior for that very com- mon type—the man who wants to take up '200 or 300 acres of prairie land near Vernon, Enderby, or some other town, as ready for the plow,' and who expects to get it at $1.00 per acre." For sturdy and pushing men of the true pioneer ,type, who are prepared to work very hard at the outset and wait for years for the reward which comes. surely to the right men, the section of country spoken of is a very good one, and the coast towns and mining and lumbering camps will buy all he can produce at a higher price than is paid anywhere else. Butter, eggs, pork,beef, are all dearer there than any where else I know. Lord Aberdeen is now, settling a large block of land" which he bought there two years ago, with capable farm hands from Aberdeenshire. ; Fruit rais- ing, for which some parts- of the coun- try are admirably adapted, forms a lead- ing feature in their Scheme of farming. I have much confidence itt the Ultimate success of this venture,butithe individual fruit grower complains that the middle man wanta as much for selling the crop as the grower for, his trouble in produc- ing it. , The climate i8, for an Englishman, one of the best on this yoontinent, quite .-free from:the extremee/of suninaee and minter temperature found east of the -mountains. As a rule'the rainfall along the coast and West sidtis of the moun- tain ranges is great,soilletimes excessive. But further inland it is sometimes too dry, and there is complaint to that ef- fect from -Kamloops, 250 miles from the coast. Of course the' local agent from Whom such einigrants are to buy their tickets will paint a much more glowing picture than my.eocil matter of fact out- line, but pioneering is not exactly .,pick - nicking in any country I have yet seen or heard of, and the man Who Sets a stout heart to a steep climb is the only man who will ever make a success of it. Let me give a word of caution to - those who think they are sure to strike something once they get there. The coast towns have been crowded for years with just such people, some of* them very capable and ultimately doing 'well, others the reverse and faring very badly. Inquirers after a new home will find in British Columbia as fair a chance as they are likely to get any- where else, as every place hat its special drawbacks., But wherever they try let tnem put every penny they can" spare into the nearest, government sav- ings hank and keep it there in spite of all temptations to the contrary for two years at least, living quietly and taking work at whatever they can get hold ,of, if possible in the line which they want to follow out By doing so they will at - the end of the term of prohatioe have much 'valued experience and some nioney. Spend your money.freely and make a showy start, and you will have a lot of experience but some other fellow will have your money.—R. Waugh, in American Agriculturist. Fastening for at Corral Gate, • In the far West, a barnyard is called - by the Spanislename, corral. A gate to a corral that is proof against being open- ed tee swine or cattle should always he provided. One that is excellent for security, and that can be easily construct- ed by any farmer, is shown in the illus- tration. It may be of any desired width, but if over three feet wide, it should be provided with a diagonal brace, extend. ing from the lower. hinge corner to the opposite upper corner. The gate is made of one -inch lumber, four inches wide, with brIttoin pieces six inches wide. The vertical cleats on the sides are double, and secured by wiesught or wire nude, Jriven clear through and clinched. A SECURE GATE LATCH. sl.iding bar (a) with peg t(b) extend up through fir a handle, is notched on the upper hitln,\ nd placed between two of the gate keir Pwo cleats (c) of one -by - six inch st nae nailed across two bars on the !liege side of the gate. To these cleats a drop catch (d) is fastened by a wooden pin, so that it will 'allow the slid- ing bar to traverse beneath. When tit* Sliding bar is pushed forward into a mortise in the post, the catch falls into the notch, and no cow or horse -can possibly remove it. Agricul- turist. UnMelflshness There is no better way of promoting one's own interest than by being unsel- fish. He who is always looking out for the welfare of 'others will be sure to have others looking.otit for his welfare; while he who is always looking out for himself will be left by others to take care of him- self. In this sense there is *wisdom as well as grace.in unselfishness. But as a practical matter, one will not be unsel- fish in order to promote his own inter - este; for, ao long as he has himself in mind, unselfishness is impossible to him. - SCIENCE AND PROGRESS 11013311 InYOntions That Have Just Eman- ated From'Clever Brains.

The t entieth century will certainly bring a g od time Ito housekeepers. Inven- tions alr ady devised foreshadow it. One df these inventions LS the electrical oven, which is head even of Mr. Edward Atkin - son's far amed Aladdin oven, The electri- cal range is polished brilliantly on the out- side and oes not heat up externally, mak- ing it the right thing for summer. i Its in- ner -surfs, e is packed with ash:setup to keep the heat ithin and temper it to tiiie steady, gentle gl w required for baking or:roasting. The resu t is more like that produced by the and° t Dutch oven than can be obtain- ed by an thing devised since thS cooking stove cam into Moe. For broiling, frying, stewing, tc., each utensil has Its Own elec- trical arr ngement. It is placed Upon the -top of tb range and the current simply turned on. A dinner of many courses can be cooked to perfection, with no dust, ashes, ooal, worry or poking the fire. Electric heaters fill the mansion with a gentle warmth in winter. The touch of a button floods it with light at nightfall. If madam fancies she hears a man in the room after all have retired, she touch: s button beside her bed, and, lo la brightness as of daylight pervaths the gloom, and if the man be there he wishes he had been hanged ere he ventured into •a twentieth century residence. In the morning another button is touched, and the brenkftot is started to cooking while those who are to eat it are yet in bed. To Make Meat Tender. It is well knowu that meat must be kept some time after killing to make it tender. In winter, a large piece of beef or mutton will keep for six weeks if hung in a dry, cool place. Indeed, this is the time allowed in England for the Christmas "shoulder of mutton," and every few days it is rubbed over with salt and vinegar. In summer, un- less the butcher will keep the meat for you, you must resort to other means. A tough pieoe of meat may be laid in not too etrong vinegar for three or four days in 'summer and twice as long in winter, adding to the vinegar such spices as you may like. To sof ten a tough steak, nOttr a few spoon- fuls of vinegar on, and leestand for twelve or twenty-four hours. This method has been long recommended, and is to some ex- tent used among us. The foreign cook em- ploye sour milk for the same purpose. and with even greater success; but this must be changed every day, and at the end of the time well washed from the meat. We cannot too strongly urge that the housekeeper, especially if she be straitened in means, should become used to these meth- ods, end practise them occasionally. She does not want to confine herself to soups and stews, and she cannot buy " porter- house " steak at twenty or twenty-five cents a pound ; but sbe can buy " round " at half that price, and after a little experi: ment can make it tender for boiling, roast- ing or broiling' by one of theee methods. In winter she should buy a supply of meat ahead, and keep it until it grows tender. A Successful Musician. The following amusing incident is re- lated by "Life" as having occurred at an army post in the Southwest, garrisoned by eolored soldiers. Siok'call is sounded daily about 8 o'clock a. m. and immediately af- terward all soldiers who are sick report to the post surgeon. When asked what ailed him, he said "You see, I have a very bad fever blister on my mouth. I don't want to go to the hospital, but I belong to the band, and I thought if you could excuse me from playing my instrument for a few -days I would be all right." The surgeon looked at the man and could hardly repress a smile.There was no doubt of it, Private Jones' upper lip displayed a fe- ver blister of the first magnitude. "Very well, I will mark you excused for three days." Time passed, and the doctor thought no more about it until, a couple of days after, the adjutant asked him why Jones was marked "excused." The doctor replied that he had excused him from playing his instrument on account of his sore mouth. "Well, doctor," said the adjutant, "what instrument do you think he plays ?" " Why some sort of horn, I suppose.' " No, doctor, he doesn't play a horn. He does play the bass drum." Since then Private Jones not only plays the bass drum, but he also has the credit of having "played "the doctor. The Farm as a Training School. It remain§ true even to -day that the farm is the chief and the best echool for the train- ing of capable men that exists' in this country. It is otherwise in Europe, where one does net find a class corresponding to the independent American farmer. But with us the farmer is a superb trainer of boys. His ladi are learning real things, while the town boys too often are meiely studying in books the pale reflection of things. The farmer boy knows early about land and coolie ; about crops and their rotations ; about the seasons and the weather and the signs of the sky. He grows up in familiar acquaintance with animals. He owns a dog, he has a favorite horses, he rides wild colts, he feeds the horned cattle. Re helps in the planting and harvesting: He is - usually versed in wood lore and knows trees and plants, birds, squirrels, rabbits and grouni hogs. Be hunts with a gun and goes fishing.„ He develops superb health. He helps to repair the fences. He learns about thole and masters; the complexities of farm machinery. In short, the range' of hie practical knowledge becomee very great —Albert Shaw, in Sketch of Leland Stan- ford, in August Review of Reviews. The Minister's Rebuke. The goodiold minister of Blairmally is no stickler for etiquette, and likes his visits to the members of his flock to be as informal and as homely as possible; but he has a great regard for truth, and hi invariably down on those whom he detects in any de- viation therefrom. Recently ceiling un- expectedly on a widow who lives in a cot- tage on the outskirts of the village, he surprised her in the midst of washing a lot of clothes.. She hurriedly hid behind a olothes.horse and told her little boy to say that she was out, The visitor knocked at the door. "Well, Jamie," he said, "and where's your mother ?" "My mother's no in she's doon street on a measage," replied the lad with promptnees. "Indeed, re- plied the minister with a glance at the - bottom of the screen; "Well, tell her I called, and say that the next time she goes down to the village she might take hor feet with her." • Little Dave's Story. "You see, sir, we're just moving into our new cottage ! That's mother and little -Ruth in the front yard. Paid for? ,Oh, yes 1 all paid for ;" and then a look of se- riousnese came into the brown eyes as he timidly said: " Would you like to know how it all happened?" I was very much interested in the manly little fellow of ten summere,and was anxious to hear his story. I told him I would be more than pleased to hear how they came to be the possessoes of the cosy looking little cottage across the wag. I had watched the moving in ; the plain furniture seemed near- ly now; the mother, a sweet-faced, patient - looking little wOrnan ; the father, a fine specimen of manhood, with rather an in- tellectual face, a, good mechanic, as I after- waridtatllearned.Dave l Lme in my gate, and sitting on the steps of the front porch, told me the familyohuiestoez, You sir,,, he began, thoughtfully, "1 do believe if it had not been for little Ruth we should never have had that cot- tage, and Ruth is only eight years old now. "We lived in the other end of the town than, and Ruth and I went. to school, and to' the Sunday school too. Father had work nearly all the time, but we did not get many new things, and seemed to be poorer and poorer all the time, "Father was kind to us, but he -never was home of an evening, and always came home after Ruth and I were in)hed. Some- times mother would coax him ' to stay just one night, and he would promise, and then, after a while, would start up nd say he had some business to attend to. "Last year, just befor Christmas, we heard at Sunday School t at there was go- ing to be a fine thing in t,Ile Royal Templars' .hall. All the boys and girls ware invited to come—there was to he a drill and a march and lots of things—so I took Ruth and went. When we got there the kali was pretty full, and a young lady stepped on the platform and made us a nice little speech, then she placed us in line and put us through a lot of exeroises with vvtaais and .4.11ml)- bells. I tell you it was tiee. Thee -tee told us" to come every day after belle I Ruth liked it and to dirt I. We went cut-, day, until one day (Joe of the lath-, tail' they were going to form a Cedet Corp., aun gave ns cards to take home for our fathers end mothers t�, sign. There was a pledge ON the cards, ans:14f we wanted to join the Corps we were nee to taste any kind of liquor or tobscco, or use bad word:. " When Ruth arid I went home with our cards and read what _teas on them, mother field she did not see inuch use for that kind of thing. Ruth viiiies just cra,zy to join, but I stuck at the tdbacco part, for I smoked cigarettes sometimes, and liked them too. 4` What ! You say they are not allowed so be void to boys? Why! I can get 'em anywhere most. "Mother wouldn't give us ten cents to join and poor Ruth just felt awful, so that night after supper we showed our cards to father, and he was angry and said it was all nonsense that the Royal Templates were a lot of meddlers, and the men and women who belonged to them were cranks. He said to me, as he took his hat to go out, 'Dave, my boy, you den't do any of the things on that card, do yrou ?' "1 felt awfully mean ;, I did so hate to tell father about the, cigarettes, and then I remembered one time, when the volunteers were in camp, one of the boys got some beer and we all had a taste. Well, father kept on until I had to tell hisa about both the cigarettes and the beer. Father just stared at me, turned round and hung up his hat and did not go out thee night, but just walked up and down t the floor. Next morning before he went to work he asked for the cards, wrote his name on them, arid gave Ruth and -I each ten cents for our mem- bership fed. When he gave the cards back to us he said If I had ouch a chance when WAS a boy I would have been a better man.' "1 thought it would be mean to go back on Ruth, so I said I would not smoke any more cigarettes, and we went down to the hall, paid our ton cents, and became Cadets. The Superintendent was such a nice lady, and eo were some other young ladies who were there to help her, and we had such nice meetings every week. It was al- most Christmas, and father gave mother some money one morning and said. Give us a real good' Christmas dinner, Mary. The way things are going we may not have many of them.' So mother went to market -her- self and bought a turkey and a lot of things to make a plum pudding, and Ruth and I stoned the raisins and helped all we could. "At the last meeting of the Corps be- fore Christmas, the Superintendent was talking on tetnperanoe, and she said we were not to eat mince ,pies or puddings or sauces that had brandy or wine in them. I did hot take much notice what she *aid but Ruth did. "1 tell you I we did, have a good dinner on Christmas, and then, at the last, mother brought in the plum padding, and I began to eat mine as fast as ever I could. All at once Ruth screamed out, Why Dave Bar- ton, how dare you eat that sauce; thereis wine in• it, and you have broken your pledge.' She looked so sorry and so fright- ened, and mother said, 'never mind' and made some more sauce for Ruth and me and father never took his eyes off his plate or said a word. I told the Superintendent about it, and she said that, as I did not know there was wine in• it, I was not to blame, and that Ruth was a brave girl. Then she asked about father, and I had to tell her I thought father drank a good deal, and we seemed getting poorer and poorer all the time, as we did not get any new clothes any more and that mother did - not go out in daytime:She said she would see what could be done, and I guess she sent some Royal Templates after father, for one night he fixed up extra and went out, and the next morning he told ns all he was a Royal Templar and asked mother to join at the next meeting. "Well, that is how we bought that cot- tage over there ; father's money went there instead of into the saloons. But he ,eaye it never would have been if it were not for the Cadet Corps, and that the plum pudding finiebed it. If you could hear him at the Gospel temperatioe meetings on Sunday af- ternoon you wotild open your eyes, and then he entieup always with 'God bless Royal Temple,riam.' " I told little Dave his story Was the beet I had heard foe a long time, that I was a RoyalTemplar; aud that I fully agreed with his father when' he said, "God bless Royal Templarism." Anything But Saving. "1 o'nsider nooh Martin t' be ruther too savin' a man." remarked one of the group at the Berryville Post -office, speaking judicial- ly of an absent citizen. "Well, I don't, spoke up Uncle Jabez Prout. "Should you feel to give your reasons ?" inquired the &et speaker, +after he had recovered from his astonishment at this unexpected con- tradiction. "I should an' wilt," replied Mr. Prout. " You might call Enoch equi- norniced, maybe, but he ain't a savin' man, not as I view it. "He don't give his folks enough to eat to prevent 'em lookin' peaked right along," ad- ded Mr. Prout. "11 one of the children has a winter cough, he won't pay a oent for the doctor; he'll only put one cent in the contribution -box of a Sunday; he won't keep a drivin' hose for the women -folk; an' he wears a suit o clothes longer'n any other man person in this country." Uncle Jabs paused. Each of his state- ments had been met witti acquiescent node by the listeners. "Now," said Mr. Prout, "that may be equinomioal, but what does Enoch Martin git in exchange? The sight of his holler - eyed family settin' at the table to whet his appetite : a set of snifflin', coughy children from the time snow flies till come spring the witherin' looke of the whole congrega- tion, as ye might say, when he hands out his contribution on a Sunday; a hoss that's so worked down ye " can 'most count his ribs; and the general appearance and set• out of a scarecrow, as far as his garments go." Mr. Prout had enumerated these results on his fingers as he proceeded. He paused for a moment, and then said slowly, " Sev- in' is the last word I should use in speakin' of Enoch Martin. He may be equinomica,l, hut when ye come to what's really wuth liv- in' for, I should call him losin', an' losin' stiddy."—Youth's Companion, A Bridge of -Wool.
