Our young men should in the lettere guard against disappointing those who take the trouble. to come long dis- tances to hear them. The programme at the next meeting will be an excellent one, in Which the principal feature will be a mock trial, acted by five gentlemen and three ladies. The plaintiff is a young lady, who --agues the defendant for "Breach of 'atomise." This will, no doubt, be an interesting affair, and all should avail themselves of the op- portunity of heisting it. A SUCCESSFX-L 8T7DENT. -The m an y friends of Mr. David Blair'here and also in shlgoine, will be pleased to hear of his suc- cess.

His teacher, Mr. Forsythe, had more confidence in him than to let the matter drop, and au appeal was made to the educatioual department for a further and closer examination, and when thorough- ly investigated it was found that Mr. Blair had been Euccessfu 1. This speaks well for his energy and ability, and also adds an- other spoke to the wheel of our good teacher, Mr. Forsyth.

It name impos- sible, brie it is going, to be undertaken. • This unparalleled labor is to be one of the gigantic projects to celebrate the .advent of the twentieth 'century, and it is safe to say that a more stupendous undertaking has never before been devised. ' The scheme had its real inception at the biennial nieeting of the Jinternational Sta- tistical institute reoon1 ly held at ' Bern, SWitzeriand. At the in tance of Dr. Guil- laume, the director of he statistical office of the federal governm nt, a committee of' distinguished statistic" ns, scientists, trav- elers and geographers was appointed to begin work by collectli g all information possible as to the best aethods of taking this world censas and to revert to he in- stitute at its meeting n4t year. The first step in this faisportant-commit- tee's labor was to.enlist the interest and aid of Li Hung Chan. They met him when he was in Berlin and secured the promise of his influence in China. In no nation will •the work. of census taking be more diffleult, than in China, whore the people are as the sands of the sea. Anything approximating an aocurate census of the population of the earth at the present time is, without' doubt, an impos- sibility. In addition to the poles, there are Many spots on the earth that have never been visited by 'the explorer,•and others from which a census ' enumerator would never got away alive. The popula- tion of the earth is uove estimated, at 1,700,000,000. These .finres were given by Professors Behm and Wagner of the Uni- versity Of Gottingen, and their ostimatee are based upon the best information, Yet bpth frankly aeknowledge that they have had to fill up many of their columns with nothing better than guesses -- guesses founded upon the observations of travel- ers and upon other guesses mentioned in treaties given by such countries as China, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. • In China, for instance, they state that their figures may be 200,000,000 room or less than the actual number of people. In Africa they may be some 50,000,000 astray, and in .Asiatic Turkey, Persia, Siam and Afghanistan the figures are probably equal- ly uncertain.• China, they are now assured, will take an official census, and the governments of Turkey, Persia, Siam and Afghanistan will also be asked to give their assistance to the agents of the institute, with a -view to making some districted enumeration of their peoples. The tr000mplishment of this will require a largo amount of tiliplomaey as well as of issOney and the wiast possible knowledge of these half barbarous localities. In the beginning of the next century, at the present rate of etploration, there will hardly be a square mile of Africa that will be unsafe for a traveler with a small guard, and an ,enumeration can be made which, if not accurate will at least be of enormous value. By 1960 Russia will have pushed her two transcontinental railroads nearly through Asiatic territory, and the wild regions of Tibet will be open to the tras-eler. In the year 1900 many keen and intelligent observers will be sent into all these regions to. make the great e.etinante of the hitherto uncounted It is believed that a census of such mag- nitude can be taken on the same day or week or month all over the civilized world. The effort will pe made to hone it taken upon one and the game day if pos- sible. -London Mail. Exeter. Nona -Rev. W. H.

A miner in this country who was blown up while blasting a rock describes his sen- tatielle thus: "You see, it's so sudden. It's over just about the time you begin to understand that somethingis happening. Yell know, I had the satohel in my hand and had put it down. Then I got afraid of it. All at once everything was light I don't think I saw the flash. Anyway, my face was not exactly toward the explosion. But then everythinan g got light, lighter than dayt- kind Of blindtng. • "There was an awful crash. ,it was just at the same tine. I was It and wanted to get away. It vrastust as if It was having the nightmare. Somehow, though, I knew just 'What the'matter Was. A man can think faster than he has any idea of. I knew that some of the others were nearer the explosion, and I said to myself, 'They're blown to bits, that's cer- tain.' You uoderstand, this was all in a second -all at once, really. "Then it was exactly the smile as if I - had been • hit svith as stick. t thought it eves a big stick, bigger Alien any man could swing, and that it must be worked by machinery. It hit me on the head and all over. I vvent sailing into the air a long, long way. My ears roared, and the wind blew into my face. "I knew when I struck the ground, bar I remember saying to myself, `Well, I'm done for.' I don't know just when I lost my rightsenses or when • they came back, but when they did come back it seemed qneer that I was ,there still. I thought I had boon thrown somewhere else.

LONDON, England, November 2nd: - Mark Lane Express, in an article or the grain trade, says the price now quoted for wheat is fully warranted by the situation. In lark Lane to -day wheat was quiet. The price of English wheat has not changed since Friday. Holders are firmer, however Foreign wheat has advanced 6d, but corn is 6d -cheaper, the large new crop of that ce- real in America having had a decided effect upon the opinions of traders. The Mark Lane Express predicts that the month of November will be a period of dull - wheat markets and advises English farmers to use reserve iu selling, as there is sure to be a rise in December. In regard to other sta- ples the Express says there is a colossal crop of corn in the United States, leaving 40,000,000 quarters available for export, and this is -certain to keep eats and feeding bar leysat a moderate price.

Touosao, November 41h. -The market was, as far as cattle were concerned, an un- usually bad one, even for had times. There was scarcely any export trade being done, one reason being giventhat space is short; but there is really no demand just now, and the cable reports no improvement in the British markets, nor any im- mediate prospects of improvement. The best price quoted for shipping cattle ie $3.62t to $3.70 per 100 lbs, .and there was scarcely any :trading. Butchers' sheep sold very slowly and at low prices, ate to 2te being- paid for the best loads here. A trifle more was occasionally given for ee- lections, but the market Was 'so bad as to be scarcely quotable for any purposes of busi- ness. Sales of cattle were made as low as lte per Ib; and the yards were not cleared. Good stockers were in fair demand at from 2te to 2ic per lb, and some sold as low as $1.60 per 100 lbs.
