• HONEY SCARCE. --- Mr-. James Steep
informs us that there is no honey at
this year. In fact most of the bee
men are already feeding sugar to their
bees, owing to the summer drought.
The only honey on the market is old
honey.
TRIFLES,—Toiling ceaselessly : The
farmer throws aside the reaping hook
' only to take up the plough handles.
Dwellings are being enquil°ed for on
d -all sides by prcspective residents; the
present supply is Inadequate. He who
ll:teepeth his eye on the advertisements
that grace the columns of the local
press often espieth goods that save
dollars to his pocket and bring comfort
to his home.
SEND IN THE ITEMS.—The editors of
newspapers are often blamed for par-
tialityin their notices of churches, so-
cieties and families, when the fact
is the parties most interested are
the ones to blame. The newspaper
doesn't possess a sufficient, forceof re-
porters to send to every church service
in the range of circulation, and it must
needs depend on some person te send
in the news. Many pastors or elders
eeeef the congregation do this, and their
genes are.gladly printed, but the paper
is found fault with by other churches
'who neglect to send in their notices,
and the charge of partiality is made.
The editor may belong to one or two
of the many societies in town and na-
turally hears all the news in reference
to his particular organizations, while
the other societies, by keeping their
items to themselves, miss the little
mentions they would gladly receive.

and Mr Stephens valued it at $200.
Mr Paul Madge, of Usborne town-
ship, the wind mill king, has sold 25
autometer[wind mills during the past
two weeks in that section. This
speaks highly of the value the wind
mill is to the farmer as a labor saver.
Mr David Clark has disposed of his
farm near Kippen to Mr Logan for
$5,200. Mr Clark was in Hensall look-
ing for a site on which to build and
will erect a new residence at once.

Mr ),rank Woods has been engaged
to teach in school section No- 7, near.

In answer to a petitiop presented for
the release of the young man John

an attempt at rape, in Saltford, the
Deputy Governor has replied that he
does not consider the case one for exe-
cutive interference.
Mr John Gill, Exeter, took in his po-
tato crop last week, and if his is a
sample of the potato crop in general,
we are safe in saying the tubers will
fully compensate for the scarcity of
fruit in this section. Out of a piece of
land about 80 feet souare Mr Gill has
taken over 22 bushels. This is the
earliest and best crop we have heard of
in this vicinity.
The other day, as Mrs Davy, of
Chiselhurst, was visiting her neighbor,
Mrs T. Hicks, she had the misfortune
to fall down the cellar and break her
leg. When she went into the house

did not notice it she walked right into
it, with the above result.

him in his future career.
Sunday morning, Mr Hugh Spack-
man, Exeter, feeling unwell, sought
relief in what he thought was salts,
but which proved to be salt petre. He
took two heaping teaspoonfuls before
he discovered his error, and but for
timely medical aid would have been a
victim of accidental poisoning. He
was very low for a few hours and for a
time life was despaired of.
Mr Thos. Pollard died at his resi-
dence, Andrew St., Exeter, on the 15th
inst., after an illness of a few months.
Mr Pollard had been ill but two
months, first of inflammation which
was followed by general debility, and
his sufferings were intense. He was
of a quiet, unassuming disposition
and was respected by a large circle of
friends. He leaves to survive him a
widow and three daughters.
Some of the old residents of Wing -
ham will remember Dr Wilson, a drug-
gist, who died there in Sept. 1873. In
1872 Dr Wilson purchased a colt from
old Mr Woods,now deceased. David
Woods, son of the man who sold it to
the druggist, has the colt yet, and al-
though it is now 27 years of age it is
doing its day's work on the farm like
any ordinary young horse. The old
nag is of French origin, and can eat its
oats as well as any other horse.

(BY 'rig EDITOR)
We have always asserted that no finer
section of agricultural country oan bo
found than exists in the province of Onta-
rio—and we claim to have eeen pretty
nearly every section of Ontario—but at the
eieme time such an assertion would be ex-
ceedingly injudioioue, if we were not in a
position to prove it by comparison with
other sections of country. In the few
years we have spent on this earth, we have
managed to see, in a cursory way, some
sections of the American republic, and tbe
observations made there have only confirm•
ed and strengthened the assertion that
made.
During the past week we had the plea-
sure of spending some time in the cities
of Detroit and Cleveland, and also in the
State of Ohio due east of Cleveland. This
State is regarded as one of the finest in the
Union, but the part that we happened to
be in was exceedingly ,rough, and did not
begin to compare with the county of Huron,
although other portiene of it are said to be
superior termini/ sections. It is a good
dairying country, and is so used, but for
mixed farming, as understood and prac-
ticed here, is not at all adapted. The
farms look very dirty; and a farmer here
who allowed even pasture land to "run
wild" es thie seems to have done, would be
looked upon as a mighty poor farmer.
The milk is taken into Cleveland by train,
and milk stands are Been at almost every
cross road.
In driving through the country, the
friends with whom we were visiting would
say this farmer was worth so many thou-
sand dollars, and the other worth so much,
end conveyed the idea that the farmers in
that portion of the State were all angsually
well-to-do. Perhaps they are, but certainly
their properties did not look like it. The
houses and stables were good—all frame—
but the farms did not show cultivation;
they were rank with weeds, full of hills
and hollows, and did not look to be worth
$10 an acre. And we mentally asked our-
selves this question scores of times, "If the
American farmer, under apparently ad-
verse circumstances, ' has made so much
money, how comes it that many Canadian
farmers, with seemingly better Fopportnni•
ties, are not in mach more affluent circum-
stances than they are."
The farmers in that section seem to have
escaped the visit of the lightning rod agent,
or else were -proof against his persuasions.
for we did not see a solitary lightning rod
outside of the cities. It also looked singu-
lar: to see them haul their well water with
a bucket, when force and suction pumps
are so cheap, and their wells usually so
deep,
In the matter of roads, also, Ontario is
away ahead. Gravel or macadamized roads
are not known outside of the cities, The
highways are simply "mad roads," and, in
general are very inferior at that. They
are not graded up to the extent that ours
are, and the wa.er does not, consequently,
leave them as well. As some of the resi-
dents said, "They're all right in dry wea-
ther, but when it rains they're something
terrible.",
Our suburban stopping place was close
by the side of a railroad, and there seemed
to be more trains and paeeengers on Sun-
day than any other day. We saw people
carrying home their supply of groceries
that day just the same as upon other days.
But we will say that the two churches had
good congregations, the people listened to
good practical sermons, and ao far as one
could judge, the people themselves were
good, well-meaning people. They were
certainly sociable and generous to a fault,
and vied with one another in making the
visit of "the Cannock" a pleasant one.
At an ententainment given one evening
during our sojourn there, we were asked to
give an address, and especially to institute
a comparison between Canada and the
States on any matter we belt had impressed
itself upon us. We told them that we re-
garded Canada as mach the more moral of
the two, because Sunday was almost rigidly
observed here; because the saloon as they
understood it, practically had no existence
in Canada outside of the cities, and because
the marriage tie was praotioally inviolable
here. A minister present expressed sur-
prise that we had evidently no divorces in
Canada, and when informed thet such
conld only be obtained on the ground of
adultery, by sot of parliament,„at a heavy
expense, asked if this did not Rotas a barrier
to marriages. On being informed that it
seemed to make no difference. but that the
wiring people got married as quickly as
they oonld get ready, he laughed, and ad-
mitted that it was a preferrable state of
affairs to the looseness existing in every
State of the Union concerning the solemn
obligation of marriage. Our hearers were
loath to believe that the area of Canada
was actually greater than that of the Unit-
ed States. They did not see how such a
thing could be possible, and hinted that we
were "stuffing" them, but we were able to
convince them of the correctness of our
assertion.
"Lady" or "Woman."
The more advanced among the now wo-
men are agitating for a reform to the use
of the word "lady." According to them,
the term is mrrisappliod nine times out of
every ten that it is used. A lady is always
a woman, but a woman is not as invari-
abty a lady, so It is urged, and hence this
raid on the misleading application of the
term. The reformers will probably frown
w!r•horingiy on the street car conductor,
nevertheless, If he should say to one of
them to hie oustomaryoutbursts of polite-
ness: "This way, woman," or "This way,
Mre. Wonsan."

man who has emancipated herself from
some of tho anolent And false sentiments
of society with a calmness that makes one
gasp and laugli,admtro her common souse
and wonder if this is what we are all com-
ing to in the course of time.
Now, the London servant mald ie about
the hardest -worked domestlo in Europe,
partioularly she who ministers to the
needs of the boarding house and hotel in-
habitants. Her hours aro long, her wages
rarely over $8 a month and with no gas,
furnace beat, dumb -waiters, stationary
bath, and few carpot-sweepers in the
houses where she serves, her labors are
rather of the dray horse order. Yet, in
spier) of it all, she is a cheerful, polite per-
son, who is not troubled by the knowledge
that the attractions of the oolonies every
year wean away the bravest and bust of
thelEnglleh men -servants, that the scarc-
ity of sweethearts and husbands for the
British maidens is beginning to alarm the
students of sociology, and that Cupid has
become a vulgar little banker in a place
of a winged arrow -shooting god of love.
When her day's work is over, or . er
free afternoons come around And her
thought's lightly tnrn to the joys of a
stroll in the park, a 'bus ride, or a junket
up the river in the natural wholesome re-
creation of masculine society, she does not
sit at her attic window and sulk in loneli-
ness. She does her hair in a trine and
frizzed bang, arrays herself 121 all the fas•
olnating variety of incongruous color in
which the woman of her class revels, and
calling at the nearest barracks' hires a
solider to take her on an airing.
Maty Anne bas found an occupation for
Tommy Atkins in days of peace, and on
the payment of sixpence he is tier property
for an hour. He must attend her In all the
glory of scarlet coat, brass buttons, jaunty
muffin cap, cotton gloves and little cane,
give bei Ms arm as they walk down Picca-
dilly and otherwise show her her full six
pence worth of •ltirtesies and gallant at-
tentlone. They divide.the expense of 'bus

array of manly wit and beauty offered in
the average barrack yard, Mary Anne 11

fenders, the ono with the straightest logs,
broadest shoulders and deepest chest.
Recognizing his own beauty,the attract
ive grandeur of his swagger and the prem-
ium put on hes coat and profession, Tom-
my is sometimes apt to overestimate his
value. But Mary Anne is a hard headed
business woman, who, in sly defense, has
fixed the rates she will offer and give. For
the exclusive joy of her soldier's society
she will pay eight or ten pence, otherwise
Tommy can let out half his smites and his
left arm to another housemaid at the
usual six -penny rate, and every body is
satisfied, but no crowding beyond this is
allowed, and the use of his arm is an un-
written law in her side of the bargain, the
right elbow falling to the first applicant.
When Mary Anne's social ambitions aro
sustained by the plumpness of her pocket-
book, she is apt to indulge herself in the
extravagance of a petty officer's society,
for.which she must pay the whole of a
shilling an hour ami bear the cost of
treats. Often enough, in spite of the sor-
did arrangements, romance springs up In
the turning of a sixpenny piece, and
Tommy generously offers to bestow his
beauty, society and half of his pay on
Mary Anne, free of charge, if she will have
the agreement ratified in some quiet Soho
or Hammersmith church, where clergy-
man's fees are not exorbitant.
ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH -
Some of the Odd Diftoultiee Operatfnr
Line.
A good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the world's news is
gathered. The peed and acouraey with
which telegraph messages ale transmitted
between tho uttermost parts of tate earth
is marvellous when the conditions twder
Which they are sometimes transmitted
are considered. The Indo-European tele-
graph line offers a good illustration. It
runs from London to Lowestoft, on the
east coast of Enlgand. It then dips ander
the sea at Emden, on tfie German cosy%
whence it passer thrr igb Germany to the
Russian frontier. F om this point the
wire passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno,
Odessa, the Caucasus, the Tiflis, to Persia,
end by the Tends to Teheran, the capital
of the Shah's queer domain. There it
joins the Indian Government line, which
runs from tho Persian capital to Bnshtte
on:the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Boloochistan, and complete tho
route by connecting at Kurracbee, in
northern India The operation of this im-
mense stretch of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates; and
general characteristics, is obviously one of
much difficulty. On the snow -swept
steppes of Russia the wires aro sometimes
snapped tike thread by the rapid flight of
wild geese. The polos are out down and
made into faro wood by the nomad tribes
of the Caucasian districts, and cunning
inn-keepors of Georgia seek to boom their
post -horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions of Asia tho main-
tenance of tho solitary lino involves no
little personal risk and hardship to the
staff hands. Communication is often ant
off by avalanches in the mountain dis-
tricts, and the work of repairing alter a
snow -fall of five or six feet is no light
matter. These mountain stations are pro-
visioned with several months' supplies be-
fore the winter sets in, as the staff will be
in touch with the rest of the world by the
wire only until spring weather opens out
the passes. In these supplies are always
Included a liberal allowance of books and
