MR. ROSS SPEAKS FOR 7'HE PATRONS. In the Legislature the other day (Tuesday, May 1st), Mr. Ross t,he Min- ister of Education took occasion to refer to the Patron movement; M. Ross spoke very confidently and de- clared that "the Patrons were after the Conservatives, and would give them cause for sorrow." ' What does this mean? It sounds very much like Sir Oliver's declaration a little time ago that the Patrons would be with them but against the Dorninion Government. In view of such statment from such sources, it is just as well for 'Conservative patrons to keep a look -out. The, ways of the Grit are "dark and vain,' and he may he expected to desert everything else and cling to gritisrn. WHAT ARE 71110111 PRINCIPLES? The average Reform journalist is "strong in argeyment" as old John Willet, of the Maypole Inn, used to say. Our esteem contemporary of the Toronto Globe is an exatnple. It has ,been asserted that members of the Protestant Protective association are forbidden by the rules of their order and by the. oath they take to give em- ployment to Roman Catholics ; and the Globe went a step farther and asserted that the "members of the order may not even associate with Roman Catholics." The Spectator is not in a position to know what the principles of that order are; or what oath, if any, its imembers take. Fur- ther it has not been asked, nor does it feel called upon, to explain or defend the principles of the order. As we do not Lnow what those principles are we are unable to explain or defend them. But we did take occasion to doubt the accuracy of the Globe's statement, and cited the fact that the Hamilton city council is this year controlled by mem- bers of the body named, and that Roman Catholics are employed by the city just as in former years. The Globe's response to this is that if the Harnilton city couneil, is giving employment to Roman Catholics, it is "not acting up to the platform of the order as publish- ed in the organs of the order." Which organ of the order has_published the platform of the order ? Will the Globe name the orgon ? We have seen a statement of the alleged principl es of the Protestant Protective Asisociation, and we have also seen a statement by men who profess to be members of the order, that that statement of princi- ples is incorrect. We fully agree with the Globe that we do not want Protostant pavements, Roman C.ttholic fire engines, or agnos- tic systems of electric lighting. But will the Globe tell us when it finally reached its conclusions on that subject? Was it when the Protestant Pt otective Association was formed, or when the ! Roman Catholic league for political purposes was formed The Spectator is in the fortunate position of being able to express the- Sentiments' whioh it Bxprosopa: Antos), than ga yeas ago. It N able, to say that. religious., questions sheiald not enter inte Delnin- iOn, provincial or municipal polities. But it also holds that the rule should be absolute, and that a Roman Cathes lie league for political purposes Is as much to be condemned an4 deprecated LS a Proteslamt Protective asssoeitts tion. -Spectator. 7'11E MARKE7' OP SIX7'Y MILLION'S. Commiseloner Todd, of Kansas, sent nearly 2,000 circulars to farmers throughout the state asking an answer to the question,' "Does farming pay ?" Ele received 1,202 replies, of which 41 were affirmative and 1,251 negative. Kansas is in the superlatively happy condition of having the market of sixty millions ar its feet, and it is in the very center, of that terrestrial paradise de- scribed by Mr. Blake, where the fertile soil when tiekled with a hoe laughs rvith a harvest, where "the rivers wan- der o'er sands of gold," and where the citizen has only to lie beneath the trees and permit the fruit to fall into his mouth without being at the trouble of picking. them. We have always sup- posed that Adam would have been fair- ly comfortable and measurably content in Eden it he had enjoyed access to the market of sixty millions ; and we have taken it for granted that the happy tillers of the soil whose lot was cast in the garden westward in Kansas, hav- ing that blessing which was denied to our first parents, would want no dicker with snakes, nor find aught in their lot to encourage a spirit of discontent. And yet, strange to say, 1,251 K41114618 farmers out of 1,292, or nearly 97 per tent, affirm that farming in Kansas does not pay -it is not profitable. Sir R. Cartwright will possibly ex- plain that the Canadian farmer could make farming pay if he had free access to the market of sixty millions, though the Kansas farmer can not. He may explain that the Canadian farmer would live on so much loss than the Kansas farmer needs, and what is poverty to the latter would be luxury to the 'former. However that may be, we al e tempted to turn from the re- cord of the 1,251 Kansas farmers who tell us that fanning in that state does not pay, to the report of the' Ontario government which shows that in "the year 1892 the farmers of Ontario in- creased the value of their buildings by $4;4C.100 Lind of their stock by $8,800, - Kansas farmers almost unanimously say that farming in their state does not pay, though they have access to the market of sixty millions. Farmers in Ontario increased the value of their buildings, stock and implements by $13,500,0d0 in one year, though they are denied free access to the market of sixty millions. Query -What is the cash value of the market of sixty mil- lions? WHATBUTTER FACTORIES MAT DO. Denmark sold twenty-three and one- half million dollars' worth of butter in Great Brii aih in 1892. Canada sold one million dollars' worth. Denfnark received over 21ca. pound for that which she sold. We obtained less than 19e, or equivalent to a differ- ence of $9.60 on each cow producing 160 Nis, of butter in the season. This disparity in price is wholly clue to variation in quality. But we can produce the superior grade if we try to do so. This is proved by the Toronto market reports, in which creamery butter is quotted at about five cents above the ,best dairy. If we establish creameries all over Ontario and send the product of these to the British market we shall secure as good prices as the Danes do now. It is satisfactory to know that some- thing has already been done in this di- rection. Thee(' are fifty butter factor- ies in Ontario to -day, or nearly double the number that oristed ten years since. Let the good work go on. When we have as many creamer e -s3 as there are cheese factories :it present our butter exnorts to England will not only increase in quantity, but the price oer pound secured for the same will be Tully thirty per cent. more than that obtained at the present time. PRESS OPINIONS. A Change of Programme. The elections are tn, and campaign literature is being prepared. First it was thought that a book would be issued on "What Sir Oliver Mowat has done .for Oxford," but the material could not be found, so the title has been changed to "What Sir Oliver Mowat has done for Sir Oliver Mowat and his family." -Woodstock Times. Evidently a Man with a Pull. It is reported that Hon. C. F. Fraser is .to succeed E. F. B. Johnston as In- spector of Registry Offices, and that the latter is to be given some other posi Mon. Does this mean that Mr. Johnston is to be a permanent pensioner on the Province? That gentleman has been Deputy Attorney -General and is now Inspector of Registry Offices. How many more fat berths are the people of Ontario to be called upon to provide for him ? One would suppose that his apparent inability to discover irregu- larities on the pa.6; of registrars that were afterOards brought out by a com- mittee of the Legislature should be a bar rather than an aid to future pe - ferment. -Toronto News (Indepen- dent.) Enough to Make a Horse Laugh. The manner in which the Ontario Government is fooling the e::tretne temperance sentiment of the Province is rich eirough to bring a smile on the fare of a ['sass 'turnkey. "If If am Pre- mier and i; should "be decided that it is within the power of the Psovinces to prohibit then I will enact such a measure," but meanwhile Mr. Harcourt will meet the hotel -keepers and ar range with them for their support and Hon. Mr. Gibson will instruct the Lieense Commissioners, of Hamil- ton, to withhold thirty licenses in that city so that the expe ctant recipients will have to work and vote for the party or find the "Patent De- tectable Ballots" a sure obstacle to their right to sell for all future time. In London the Advertiser boasts tho liquor interest is safe for Mr. Hobbs, the Grit candidate. Mowat is a clever mere and not the least of his cleverness is shown in the facility with which he can manipulate the temperance and liquor vote. -Galt Reporter. • •SOOritag.W011Yer.

Ottawa, May 15.-I3y instruction of the. Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. A. R. Angers, important experiments for the control of fungous diseases of fruits Wort. inaugurated last week at various pobits in the fruit growing districts of Grimsby and St. Cathar- ines, Out., by Mr. John Craig, Horti- culturist of the Central Experuneutal Faun. Ottawa. The practice of spraying fruit trees for the prevention of insect and fun- gous pests has, fr sone thne been strongly urged by the entomologist and the horticulturist of the Central Farm, and the subject has received much attention at all agricultural con- ventions for the last two or three years. • In response to a resolution passed by the Fruit Growers' Association of On- tario, at its last annual meeting, ask- ing the Dominion Government, through the Experimental Farm, to undertake experiments in this line, and fully recognizing the importance of such work to the fruit interests of the county, the Minister of Agriculture commissioned Mr. Craig to meet fruit growers in some of the important centres of Ontario with a view of ob- taining their co-operation and support in carrying out the details at the various experiments. The Grimsby and St. Catharines districts were select- . ed and the work commenced last week. Mr. Craig reports that he was met with the utmost cordiality by the fruit .growers, who expressed a great satis- taction at the institution ot the work, and promised hearty support in every instance. Experiments were inagm•at- ed at seven different centres in the Grimsby and St. Catharines districts, the unusual forwardness of the season preventing operating on a large scale. Peaches, cherries and plums were treated with the twofold Object of pre- venting loss from a fungous disease, causing the fruit to rot on the tree, and insect attacks. Apples and pears have also for some years past been seriously. injured by "spotting" and "cracking," due to the presence of fun- gous disease, and by the attacks of codling moth and curculio. These were sprayed with the hope that the injuries caused by the pests mentioned might be greatly lessened. For early spraying, before the buds open, copper sulphate, lib., dissolved in 25 ,gallons of water,is used. The next application is made just before the blossoms open with diluted Bordeaux mixture. This is prepared by dissolving 4 lbs. oF copper sulphate in as many gallons of water, and slaking 4 lbs. of fresh lime in the same quantity of water. The lime' "is then added to the copper sulphate solution and the whole Whit- ed with water to 45 gallons, or the capacity of an ordinary coal oil barrel. The third spraying should take place immediately after the blossoms have fallen and the fruit has set. Bordeaux mixture is used as before with the ad- dition of 4 ounces of Paris green to pre- vent the attacks of leaf -eating in- sects ; another application .of the same., mixture should be made three lyeeks later. Copper carbonate is recommended for the last spraying, which is made two or three weeks later. This is pre- pared by dissolving 5 ounces of copper carbonate in two quarts of ammonia and diluting with 45 gallons of water. The treatment just outlined is recom- mended for pears, apples and grapes. In spraying the stone fruits the quan- tity of Paris green is reduced to 3 ounces per barrel of water, as the foli- age is more susceptible to injury. Explicit instructions for the use said preparation of these mixtures have been forwarded to each fruit grower in charge of experiments, as well as in- formation regarding the best kinds of spraying apparatus. The horticulturist of the Central Ex- perimental Farm will visit as often as necessary during the summer the orchards in which the experiments are being conducted, and will thus he able to obtain accurate information regard- ing their success. It has already been demonstrated that the quality of the Fameuse apple, so largely grown in Quebec, can be profitably improved, and its value much enhanced by the judicious use of the mixtures mentioned above, and it is to be regretted that the recom- mendations regarding spraying, so freely disseminated from the Experi- mental Farm, have not been more gen- erally adopted. THREE WANTS. "Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense, Live in three words, health, peac•e, and competence." So says the poet. Competence counts for little when one is sick, and peace is disturbed when health is upset, So that the poet rightly places health first. To havc good health you must have pure blood. From the blood the sys- tem receives all its material of growth and repair. The hest blood -purifier is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which is worldsfarned and sold every- where. It is a sovereign remedy for all deceases due to impoverished or impure blood, as consumption, bron- chitis, weak lungs, scrofula, old sores, skin diseases, and kindred ailments. , THE 1...IF4 OF OHRIST, • A Purist/net VOVIltrli Alleged te HAT, flecn Ifeltled In it irl.O140t luenninerr.

He tried vainly to negotiate for its purchase. He happened to break a leg- and was taken to a monastery. While there a Lama read to him the precious record, which was in the Pali language, and Notovitch took down a full translation. Christ is known to the Buddhists as the prophet Issa. This is abrief summary of his life : Issa was bore of Jewish parents. He was poor, but belonged by birth to a family of exalted piety whioh had for- gotten its former greatness on earth, maguified the Creator, and thanked Him for Lite misfortunes with which He was pleased to try them. Frown his child - 1 ood he .preached one God, Oa coming of age, thirteen, instead of marrying, he fled from his father's house and went with merchants to Simile fourteen ho was living among the Aryas. One day he broke way from the Brahmins. He deuied the divine °Figur of the Vedas and the hicarnation of Para Brahma. He learned Pali eud was initiated into the mysteries of pure Buddhism. Then he went westward, preaching against idols. He was 29 yeare old when he turned to Judea, He began to preach, but his popularity alarmed Pontius Pilate. the latter summoned the priests and learned meta to try Issit. The tribunal examined Issa and proneuuced him innoceut. Issa contlitued to speak to the people, lucid - eating obedience to Caesar and respect for a °mankind. Tlie spies which.Pilate set to watch him sent disquieting re- ports of the enthusiasm of the multitude. The Governor, fearing a mutiny, caused lssa to be imprisoued, tortured, and tried before the Sanhedrini, with two thievea. False witnesses were bribed. The Governor then called a witness who at the bidding of Pilate had be- tiayed lase. This man came, and speak- ing to Issa, said: "Did you not claim to be the King of Israel when you said that the Lord of Heaven had sent you to prepare His people?" lase, having blessed him, said : "You shall be forgiven, because what you say does not come from your heart." Turn• ing to the Governor, lase said : "Why humble your pride and teach your in- feriors to live in falseheod, since even without that you are able to condemn an innocent man?" At these words the Governor fell into a rage and ordered the death of Issa, while lie discharged the thieves, The Judges, having deliberated, said to Pi• late: "We will not take upon ourselves the great sin of condemuing this innocent men and absolving two thiew s, The thing is contrary to our laws. Do, there- fore, as you please." Having thus spoken, the priests and wise erten went out and waalied their bands in a holy vessel, saying: "We are innocent of the death of the just man." Lose and the thieves Were crucified, but on the third day Issa's sepulchre was found open and empty. Clever Huneleg By Banks. "I have witnessed limey incidents which prove conclusively to me that animal intelligence is not different from human intelligence in kind, but only in degree." remarked Joseph W. Symes, of Manchester, England. "For a num- ber of years I was an engineer on one of our railroads, and often woudered at the promptness with which hawks took ad- vantage of the appliances of modern civilization. I have frequently seen these hawks fly close behind the train near the ground, where they are partly bidden by the . smoke. As the cars thunder along through the fields and meadows, small birds tly up in the air, bewildered by the noise and approach of the train. The hawk then dashes among them out of the smoke and easily secures his prey. Should it be unsuccessful, it returns to the wake of another traireand awaits the startling of another bevy."- Globe•Democrat. Wooden Food. "Did you ' ever hear of wood being used for food ?" inquired ArnionL. Van- dervate, of Pensacola, Fla., of the cot.- ridor. man at the Lindell last evening. "I traveled rather extensively terougli . Siberia a few years ago, and found that among the natives along the northern coast wood in a certain form is a most common and constant article of diet. The natives eat it because they like it. Even when fish are plentiful it usually forms part of the evening meal, as many cleanly stripped larch logs near every hut testify. These people know by ex- perience that the fact of their eating wood arouses the sympathy of strangers, and shrewdly use it to excite pity and to obtain gifts of tea and tobacco. They scrape off thick layers immedisitelyanider the bark of the log, and chopping it fine, mix it with snow. It is then boiled in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish tam, milk, or butter is mixed with it." -Globe Democrat. The Commonest Names In Germany. Some one has been drawing up a list of the commonest names in •Gerinany. From this it appears that Schulze takes the palm, although he is closely follow- ed by Meyer, and Lehmann and Neu, mann come at a respectable distend°. The practical inconvenience of having so many people of the same name has been obviated by the Prussian Education Department, who distinguishes the bearers as historians distinguish the numerous touises and Charleses, On ita register there is a Schulze LV., a Meyer XLVII, a Lehmann XIX, and a Neumann XIV. 11 18 said that an in- genious person once obtained a seat in a crowded pit in a Berlin theatre by shout- ing.
