CANADIAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.
The London correspondent of the Trade
Bulletin writes: The Canadian horse trade
is an improving one, and 1 look to Bee a lot
of money made therefrom presently.
They are quite established on our markets
now, and Meters. Britcbard & Moore, who
have established a "Canadian Horse De-
pceitory," are making a big feature of the
business, which ie doing well, there being
big attendance at the weekly sales. 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. Anything good 18
is eagerly competed for.
A LARGE TRANSACTION IN EGGS.

50,000 dozen, consisting of 25,000 dozen of
held fresh end 25,00o dozen, of choice fall
stock, et 12c per dozen for the lot. The
market has a firm and upward tendency
owing to the large quantity that has been
ehipp,d to England. The above lot, it is
said, coald act be replaced today at less
than lc advance.—Montreal Prude Bulletin.

A LARGE CARGO OF APPLES.
The Allen Line steamer Numidian took
out from Montreal a large cargo of 14,5e0
barrels of apples along with a heavy mie-
celleneone cargo last week. The freight on
the apples alone amounted to $10,440. It
ee'eme that the shipment of apples this
year is more profitable to the steamship
oompanies than to exporters.

partment with exhaustive statistics of

gentine, Urngnay, Chile, Australia and the

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

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-

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

knows the why and wherefore of these
phenomena, and a reputation awaits the

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

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

constantly giving us about the summer
girl. But since the summer man Dame
