'Is that written down, master?' 'Yes,' replied the lawyer; 'but she is not so old—she may marry again. Won't you maka any change in that ease? Moet people do.' 'Ay, do they,' said the farmer.

'It is generally the other way—the legacy is lessened if the widow marries again.' 'Ay,' said the farmer, 'but him as gets her'll deserve it.' Time aro not .chat they used to be—then, one ,bud a heart to feel for another. 'I give and bequeath to Lucy, my wile, t:., sum u' one hundred pounds a year,' said a ad in England for Canadian eggs tj#' shut. salt of the Unitea States by the fivo.cent duty they pro- pPee 1t vying on foreign eggs? 2., About how much per dozen would it est to ship to England, Including freights, insurance and Commissions? 8. What is the • present price in London? 4. In Mr D D. Wilson, Seaforth, whole- sale dealer in eggs and an author ity on the subject, to whom we fro indebted for the following answer:—"Eggs can be sold in England but at much lower prices than in the United States, and as the distance is much greater and they are a considerable time on the ocean, the depreciation in quality is very much greater, and the risk materially increased. The present selling price in Lon- don is about sixteen cents per dozen for fresh eggs, and it is doubtful if ordinary Canadian fresh eggs would at present bring tilt price on that market. The cost of transportation is more than double the freight to New York or Boston. Either limed or fresh may be sent. I cannot say in what part the demand is the best. I notice newspaper para- graphs stating that a trial ship- ment has been made to England which resulted profitably to the shipper, but from my knowledge of the business I will not accept any such general statement as of any valve, as I tried a shipment there and it did not result profit- bly. So I must have the ship- per's name, quantity shipped, and price realized before I can ac- cept it as genuine." This should be sufficient to show that we cannot find a pro- fitable market for eggs in the old country, statements by those op- posed to Commerical Union to the contrary notwithstanding. Experience is always the best teacher, and Mr Wilson has found out by experience that our eggs cannot be sent to the old country, �.�� �i►and sold at a profit. When the `''P � new American tariff gets to work, Canadian farmers will find out that what the Liberal Press has said about it, :t very near tbe truth. the a partieuiarki the rofiult . aro eaid'to b erose sheat fi.

Ac- cording to this showing a good horse can be a bad color despite the common saying to the con- trary. We are not just prepared to believe that there is any great difference in the wearing qualities of horses of different colors in this climate, although this is not the first time these points have been brought for- ward. SHE HAD ANGELS PRETTY WELL SIZED UP. One summer evening an old farmer sat on his door step smok- ing a pipe before going to bed. Presently u tramp approached and said : 'Good evening sir.' 'Good evening,' answered the farmer. 'I have been walking a long distance.' said the tramp, 'and if you will permit me, I'll sit a few minutes on yo.:r doorstep.' 'All right,' was the answer. The two men fell into conver- sation, and as the farmer discover- ed his guest to be an intelligent man their talk was continued un- til a late hour. 'Would you mind giving me a mug of cider?' asked the tramp at length. 'Not at all,' said the farmer, 'I will do it with pleasure.' The cider was produced and disposed of in a summary fashion, and then came the next -request : 'I've traveled a good distance today, and I should like very much to lodge with you, if you have no objection. 'All right,' answered the farmer, 'I can accommodate you. Meanwhile the wife, who had long before retired, and was lis- tening to the conversation from her bedroom, called out: 'No you won't; I won't have him here. Come, husband. it's time for you to come in and lock np'Madam,' said the tramp, ser- iously, turning in the direction of the voice, 'you should not speak so abruptly to a stranger. You might be entertaining an angel unawares.' 'I ain't a mite afraid,' returned the old lady calmly, 'angels don't come around begging cider after dark.'—Mifflinburgh Times. The last issue of postal cards are not as stiff as the former ones, •,,*and are objected to by some on the ground of being so easily creased in the mails. The govern- ment should make the contractor supply a firmer quantity of card- board. RURAL FRANCE. A traveller in France writes : One is especially struck with the fine roads of France of which the people are justly proud. The Government keeps up a perfect system of care and inspection,and wherever one goes be may be sure of finding the routes in excellent order. They are often bordered with trees for miles. Another thing that one notices is that all the underbrush, small twigs and even the lower branches of the trees have been cut for firewood. I do not believe' a twig of wood is wasted. All are gathered and tied up in bundles, ready for use. Every foot of ground;is cultivated, or so it seems to strangers. There are mountains and barren places where nothing will grow, but every bit of ground that ca pro- duce anything is made to III so. The winter is so mild south of the Loire that vegetables are growing in the gardens all the time. There are of course certain sea- sons for the different ones, except the string beans and the radishes. These are always in season, and the quantities eaten in France must be enormous. The fields are not generally separated by fences or hedges. The di'riding line is, however,clearly shown by the sort of grain growing in them. As most of the farmers keep sheep, the absence of fences necessitates the shepherd or shepherdess. Wherever one sees a small number of sheep, there is also to be seen a guardian with them. Alas ! it is not the beauti- ful shepherdess of the poets and painters. I suspect she never existed except in the fertile brain of these artists. In reality, the shepherdess is an old woman who leads her flock from one spot to another, tranquilly knitting a stocking while her sheep nibble the grass. Often a girl or a boy about twelve years of age per- forms this duty, but if the flock is large a man is.the shepherd, as he only is considered capable of car- ing fora large number. A good deal has been said about the C. P. R. being a purely Cana- dian line, and the "patriotic" spirit is worked in politics for all it is worth. We have nothing to say against the C. P. R., for it is certainly managed with ability and push; but Canadians will doubtless be surprised to know that every executive office in the company. from that of President down,!is filled by an American, and that a majority of the Board ti of Directors are also citizens of the United States. It is, there- fore, American citizens, American capitalists, American lawmakers who control this road, who con- trol its steamships both upon the Atlantic and Pacific, who control its telegraph and cable lines. A shocking case of inhuman treatment of the insane has been unearthed in Richland township, Pennsylvania. The victim is Margaret Orr, and she has been kept by her brother on a farm near Ellenton station, on the Al- legheny Valley Railroad. She is about 40 years of age and has been confined in chains in a smoke house for over fifteen Fears. It was with difficulty that the bro- ther was induced to allow her re- moval to the Warren Asylum for the Insane, where she now is. LONS(IMPT ION CURED.

Sometimes a horse's mouth be- comes sore. A rubber inclosed bit is the proper thing, but lack- ing that, wrap cloths around the ordinary bit, securing them with strings wound around the bit and passing through the rings also. Forty-four mares were bred to Axtell this season, among them being full sisters t:) Maud S. and Mambrino King. Four of the lot had records of '2:30 or better,three others were sisters to fast perfor- mers and seven more were out of producing dans, making fourteen thus bred. Five others were mares whose second:dams were producers. Every person in Russia who has a horse is obliged to have a certificate of ownership. If a horse is sold this certificate must bo pro;tuced and transferred to the name of the purchaser. The one who sells a horse is to be held responsible for its good condition and lie must return the purchase money and pay a fine if be de- ceives the buyer in his represen• tations of its age or health.

About sixty years ago a lame boy, named Erastus, left a humble home in New England, and enter- ed a hardware store in Troy,N.Y. Besides being lame, he was slend- er and his prospects in life seem- ed anything but promising. Ho knew little of the sports and pas- times that his companions enjoy- ed in their childhood; his face, even in the freshest years of life, bore the marks of suffering and care, and hist friends pitied him, and said that he was very unfortu- nate. But he had a quick, active mind, full of right aspirations,and a heart full of generous impulses. Ills mind was at work, preparing for usefulness in the future, and fondly dreaming of bright days to come, even in the solitary hours of sickness and suffering. Ile did the hest he could,though his lot was so circumscribed, end God had a life -work, full of honor for the poor little lame boy. When he first applied for work in a store, be was so small that the proprietor looked into his earnest face with some surprise and said : 'Why, my boy, what rail you do ?' I can do what I tun the many answer. There was the right ring in this reply, and the proprietor re- cognized it. 'Well, my little fe'low,' said he, 'that is the kind of a boy we want you can have the place.' That boy was Lrastus Corning, the millionaire. The neglected, solitary lame boy made himself so useful to hiss nployera,byihis:will- ingness to do 'what he was bid,' as to secure for himself the highest positions of resp.)nsibility and trust. Ile became a bank president, a railroad president, canal company president, was three times elected Mayor of Albany, was a member of the State Legislatut e, and for three terns a member of Congress. In 1863 he retired from business, with a fortune estimated at Live millions. The Bible says that 'IIe that humbleth himself shall he exalt - Very few farmers are able t3 tell what it costs them to raise to maturity a horse or cow, and When they sell an animal they do not know whether they have pained or lost in the deal.
