On Thursday they sold 60 head at an average of £29 10e., Messrs Pickford, the largest carriere in London, being purchaeere, and there are likejy to be some good prices next week for 150 to be offered, including heavy draught horses from Toronto, weigh ing acme 1,500 lbs.

A TERRAPIN'S LOVE OF HOME. One Caught in 1840, ',larked and Released. Returns Three Different Times. The devotion of a land terrapin to rte home is well Illustrated by a story from Paoli. Ind. In 1840 Mtsa Davie Peels, of that nity, was ten years old. While to the woods one day she came upon one of these creatures, and took it home. Its curious ways pleased her and she pub it to a box to keep as a pet. The little prisoner refused fond andhafed at con- finement. As the young lady was about to release the terrapin some one suggested that she verve her name on Its shell. She did this, adding the date. The little animal was let go. Ten years later Mise Peole matt -fed County Clerk Wlble, of Orange CotitiCjt One day she found herself in the vilkaae where she had first discovered the tosrta- ptn. To her great surprise she again found the littta fellow within a few feet of where she flret saw it. Her name and. the date were me plain as when she pp) them there. The terrapin was again msde prisoner to show her frteads the marvel- lous find. Ageln tracing her new name on the shell, she released her captive. The date, 1850, was put on. After many years Mrs. Wlble became a widow, removing to Hubohlnson, Kan. There she married Dr. McKinney ant still resides there. In the summer of 1872 Mrs. McKinney visited her old home at Paoli.

There are 630 convicts in Kingston Pen• itenbiary. Rev. D. W. Dimook, one of the oldest Baptist ministers in the Maritime Prov- inces, died at Truro. Mr John Auld was nominated as the Liberal candidate in South Essex, and Mr Edgar Scratch as the Conservative for the seats lately made vacant by the death of Hon. W. D. Balfour, M.PP.

Ideas The question whethge the X rays have or have net a delet !liens effect on We human body Is being actively discussed Tests, on being interviewed on the sub- ject, says that instead of tip rays bele` lnjurtone, they are really healthful, and tend to build ap the body. The discharge of the induction ootl causes no 111-efeoty inaemuoh an It simply generates ozone, ti substance which is exhilarating as weft as dtdinfecting. Testa is reported ea dat- ing that In no case has the effect of the rays ever been Injurious, and (Lab 1n ex- perimenting with the Roentgen rye V has been (nand that while the dietetbtt- tfon of the ozone within the body may have a alight effect, It le only 1n oasts where the body has been subjected to the rays for hours. On the other hand, grits* numbers of scientists' and otbera, it L now asserted, have been prostrated from the assiduity with which they have fol- lowed up their expert menta with the IC rays, and one professor in a Missouri university is sold to have died from ex- haustion reused by his unremitting st^ady of the subject. Great numbers of letters bearing testimony to the powerful and in many cases painful effect of exposure to the rays are being sent to the electri- cal journals. One writer says that while attending to the tooting of the tabus he noticed a peculiar itching and burning In his left hand, which he thought was caused by poisoning With chemicals. The ekin assumed a dark red color; It be- came h{trd and gloomy, and tingly began aostur to peel off.

The Front Stoop Cynic. Mr. Sirius Baker had sat in silenoe for more than half an hour on bis front stoop watching the bicycles as they flashed past, Ho seemed even more dis- pleased with the human race than usual His wife did not try to talk to him. She knew he was angry about something and did not like to interrupt him when he was having a good time. He broke the silence himself. "t-ghll" he said with a shudder and a shiver. "What's the matter, Sirius? toes any- thing hurt you?" "Yee, ma'am," he answered. "Some- thing does hurt me. It Is not a mere trifling physical pain, either. I am en- vious of the past, ebocked at the present and apprehensive of the future. "Goodness, graclons! It isn't so bad as that,ts it?" "It's worse. For several years I have been asking myself whither we are drift- ing and then giving the conundrum up because I quailed before the awful troth that the answer involved. But there Is no use in trying to conceal Itany longer. We are plunging over the Niagara Falls of Iconoclasm Into the whirlpool of social chaos. That's where we are drifting. And you women are responsible for It." "Sfrtue, be juet. 1f you cannot be gen- erous. Don't blame me personally for the doings of other members of my sex. 1 don't ride a bicycle." "No: but you'd like to. There! Look at 'em !" he growled as another party went by. "A short time ago we had the summer girl. She wore white dresses and frizzed her hair and kept her nom- plexion white, and made you glad she didn't have wings to fly away with. She was a delight to the poets and a relief to every -day people. Where Is she nowt Dead as the dodo. She's put on bloomers and divided skirts and leggings and an alpine hat. She has stayed out in the wind and sun till she has gotten her face tanned and In every way transformed her once charming tdentity nnttl, as a mat- ter of fact, she no longer sahibs." "Well," said his wife, to a philosophi- cal tone, "there is never a lois without some gain. She will be replaced In some way." "That's the worst of it. She has been replaced. And how? What have we now in her stead? The summer man. What Is he? He's a freak: that's what he la. He wears a white sweater with red trim- ming around the collar and bangs his hair. He puts on a dove -colored atilt and rainbow stockings and takes more pride In his lower limbs than the leader of the Amazon maroh In a burlesque show. 13e is a gaudy patch of dolor on the landscape and he is mo much afraid of not being noticed that he rings his bell to make you look at him. I need to get a little tired of the twaddle they were constantly giving us about the summer girl. But since the summer man Dame Into existence I miss her and yearn for her."
