culture of Ontario. According to the
reports of the bureau of industries, the
average market value of the threshed
peas grown in Ontario during the peat
20 year% amounted to fully eight mil-
lion dollars a year. In 1807, no less
than 896,786 scrag were devoted to the
pea crop, this being the largest arca
under peas in any single year. Since
that date, however, there has leen a
gradual decrease until the year 1902,
when only 682,689 acres of peas were
grown. This decrease is undoubtedly
due to the great damage done to the
crop in southwestern Ontario by the
pea weevil, commonly known as the
{x +a bug."
The total direct logs by the agency of
the pea weevil in 1902 is estimated at
over two million dollars,

—Several merchants in Sebringville
were confidenced one day recently out
of from 60 cents to 01 by a man repre-
senting himself to be an agent for the
Stratford Herald, and agreeing to have
write-ups of their business inserted in
the paper. He was unauthorized, and,
of course, the 00110e8 did not appear.
He got altogether about 010.
—A Wallace township farmer went
to law with a neighbor. Speaking with
his lawyer he suggested sending the
magistratoa couple of fine dunks. ' Not
for your life," said the adviser. " If
you do you'll lose the case," The judg-
ment was given in his favor, when he
turned to his lawyer and said : " I sent
the ducks " Astonishment on the tat-
ter's part turned to admiration when his
client continued: " But I sent thele in
my neighbor's name."
—A plant of unusual growth and
beauty is to be seen at the home of Mrs.
Alex. Gibson, sixth concession of How -
ick, It is s species of geranium, com-
monly called Pansy (.4eranium, though
frequently known as Royal George, or
I,.ady Washington. The plant stands
over six feet high and measures three
feet across, being a solid macs of leaves
for five feet. It is in full bloom, there
being over 80 blossoms on it at the pres-
ent time. A number of flowers have
already fallen off and innumerable more
buds are developing. The slip from
which this handsome pient has grown
was planted about three years ago, and
has received no special attention but
was cared for and prized vary much by
every member of the family, as it was
a slip given to their late daughter,
Esaie, when i11, and she took great pride
and interest iu watching its growth
day by day.
—The notorious John Maxwell, the
man accused of the brutal assault on
Mr. Paul Shafer, of Seaforth, about two
months ago, appeared before Judge
Doyle in Goderich and was sentenced to
18 years in Kingston penitentiary.
There were two charges against him—
one for the assault, and the other for
stealing a Pair of gauntlets from Dr.
Hamilton in Clinton. A number of
witnesses were examined. His honor,
in delivering sentence, said he consid-
ered it, if anything, to light. The
sentence for the aaeault is 10 years
with hard labor, and for the lesser
offence three years. The remainder of
Maxwell's term fur vagrancy, of course,
ie merged in the 10 -year term. The
prisoner, though protesting his inno-
cence, did pot seem to be much affected.
Mr. Win. Proudfoot appeared for the
prisoner, and Acting Crown Attorney
Lewis prosecuted. Efforts are beim{
made to connect Maxwell with the
Wingham case, which resulted in the
death of Mr. S. J. Smith, a prominent
business man of that town. The night
after being sentenced, Maxwell made e.n
attempt to get out of jail through a
place where the stones of the wall had
been loosened to melte a sewer connec-
tion, His attempt was unsuccessful,
and he was taken to Kingston in cus-
tody next day.
—The Toronto News saye that every-
body knows that the prime minister of
Canada is paid with miserable igade-
quacy. It is a disgrace that he should
receive only 8960) a year, when the
position should command a salary twice,
at least, as large. It is worth that
amount of money to the country ; It is
worth that, and more, to the first min-
ister. It is rabid nonsense to expect Sir
Wilfrid Laurier to maintain his proper
estate on the salary provided, and to
save anything. The people all agree
that .the salary is too small, but the
people's representatives In parliament
make no step towards Increasing it.
Sir Wilfrid 'himself would never hear
of any move in the direction of an
augmentation, and, so long as he re-
mains in office, be is not likely to change
his mind,
—In a recent issue the Raymond
Chronicle commented upon the condi-
tions existing in the towns of Frank
and Raymond, Alberta. The former is
the unfortunate town that wag des-
troyed by a landslide from Turtle moun-
tain last week. The Chronicle says
they are exactly of an age, each having
been founded in September, 1901, by a
Yankee capitalist. After alluding to
them as two of the beet towns in the
Northwest," the Chronicle goes on to
say that 'Frank " is a swift town of the
Wide-open kind; Heywood le the other
extreme of absolute prohibition. and on
these widely different diets both are
thriving, but with this difference—in
Frank three policemen spend all their
time trying to preserve order, in Ray-
mond one policeman comes occasionally,
but unnecessarily." It must be noted
that Frank is a mining town, peopled
by a considerable variety of races,
while Raymond is inhabited largely by
people of the one stamp. Mormons cer-
tainly are sober, industrious and free
from crimes of disorder and violence.
