the figures given by Prof. Robertson,

Britain, seem so high as to be almost
incredible. He says that choice, well -
fattened fowlsbring from $1.50 to $2.40

A very pretty September wedding
took place on Wednesday, 14th inst.,at
the residence of Mr D. Scott, East Wa-
wanosh, when his daughter, Annie H.
B„ was united in the holy bonds of
matrimony to Mr J. E. Fells a pros-
perous

mony was performed by Rev. Mr Hall,
of Belgrave. As the bridal party enter-
ed the parlor, the wedding march was
played by Miss McClelland, Belgrave.
The bride looked very pretty in a rich
costume of cream si:k,very neatly trim-
med with pretty silk lace. She was as-
sisted by her sister Belle,with Miss An-
nie Erskine as maid of honor. Mr S.
McKinnon, of Blyth, acted as grooms-
man, and Master D. Scott as page.
Early Tuesday morning Mrs Wm.
Caldwell, of the Zurich road, Hay, met
with a bad accident. She was return-
ing from milking the cows,and in pass-
ing through a gateway was obliged to
lower the bars. She had passed one
pail through, and was rbaching for the
other, when one of the upperbars
which are heavy,fell upon her left hand
as it rested upon the pail, severing the
fore -finger at the first joint. The shock
stunned her for a moment, and when
she realized what had happened was
much surprised to find a piece of her
finger on the lip of the pail. She could
scarcely realize that it had once formed
part of her hand. A physician since
amputated the finger at the second
joint. as r

Miss Louie White, formerly of town,
writes from Ocean Grove, N. J., under
date of Sept. 5, as follows:—
"I have intended writing you a des-
cription of this, or rather these, twin
cities, as Ocean Grove and Asbnry
Park are called, ever since I came down
here, but between the social and relig-
ious entertainments and the excessive
heat, I have been positively been un-
able to write letters
This is one of the most wonderful
places I have ever been in. Asbury
park has a summer population of
about 60.000. Ocean Grove 50,003 to
60,000, and not a single liquor soloon
or any place where liquor is sold in
either city. In Ocean Grove there are
no milk or lice wagons on Sundays;
these things are served on Saturday
night, and no bathing is allowed on
Sunday.
We came down here on the last day
ot June and there has not been one
day since on which there has not been
religious meetings of some kind or
another going on all day long.
The young people's Temple, with a
seating; capacity of 1000, is filled to
overflowing in Young People's Meet-
ing by 9 -o clock every morning, the
auditorium,' seating 10,000, in which
meetings are held every day at 10.30
a,m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. and whiph I
have seen filled to overflowingover
and over ogaiii,is a wonderful building
and I can assure you it has been one
of the greatest treats of my life to be
able to attend the lectures and con-
certs, and listen to the grand sermons
by some of the greatest men of this
and other lands.
If I had more leisure I would write
you more fully of this delightful place
with its many intereaating features.

• The Plebiscite Campaign

Are you in favor of the passing of an Act
prohibiting the importation, manufac-
ture or sale of spirits, wine, ale, beer,
cider and all other alcoholic liquors
for use as beverages?
JOHN RIDOUT.
Mark your ballot thus
The Press and Prohibition.
The time for recording the Plebiscite
vote is coming on apace, and we wish
to urge its importance on each and
every voter,
After a close scrutiny of the press of
the Dominion, we can state without
hesitation that the temperance cause
has a decided majority both in number
and ability. The evils of intemper-
ance are so glaring and far-reaching
that even those editors that favor
license rule do not show any great
amount of enthusiasm. Some who
disapprove of prohibition introduce as
argument the failure of the Scott Act
and similar measures.
We may answer that the Scott Act
was not a failure and that the license
system has been and is to -day afailure.
The Scott Act was a measure more
difficult to enforce than total prohibi-
tion will be, for these reasons: It was
local, and only adapted to stop the
spiggethole, while the bunghole was
left open, its limited sphere of action
left so many ways of evading it that
its full benefits were nulilled in many
instances. Take, for instance, a closed
county that was bounded on two or
three sides by open counties and you
have a case where it was impossible to
enforce the law, simply because you
could, by stepping across the boundary
line, secure all the liquor you
wanted. The rule of "drink all you
can but do not carry any away," was
never observed. and smuggling was as
easy as it could be made. With a pro-
hibitory law which stops the:manufac-
ture and Importation within the Dc -
minion, the case will be very differ-
ent; and the American frontier will be
the only line of ►defence we shall have
to guard. It is suggested that illicit
manufacture will be resorted to, but
there are enough law abiding citizens
to render that so difficult that the
amount will be so limited that the
effect will not be felt, and under a
strict enforcement of the law will soon
cease.
The argument that it would he an
act of coercion on the part of a prohi-
bition province to enforce the law
against an anti -prohibition province or
county does not appear at all. Pro-
vinces or counties as such, have noth-
inar to do with the result of the vote.
There was where the weakness of the
Scott Act became manifest, this
being a Dominion Plebiscite the popu-
lar votes must rule. We will take
Ontario and Quebec, should there he a
majority against in Quebec and in
favor of in Ontario there could be no
coercion, as neither have any separate
or individual vote.
v1 hat is a Plebiscite? Certainly
not the voice of a few here and there,
but the voice of the whole, therefore
there is no such thing as coercion.
Should the majority in favor of pro-
hibition be small, then a question
might arise as to the wisdom of pas-
sing an act, but with a majority as
large as that polled when the Scott
Act was submitted there would be
little room for the Government to re-
fuse enactment and enforcement.
Fireflies In Cuba.
Fireflies in Cuba aro nearly four times
as large as are the "lightning bugs" in
the United States and emit a beautiful
glow from their breasts and underwings.
The young women dearly love to imprison
them in the gauzy folds of their summer -
land costumes and enmesh them in tho
hair in mook coronets. Sometimes a se-
norita will wear a brilliant firefly or two
imprisoned in a tiny cage of gold or silver
wird hanging as a bangle to her bracelet.
It is an astonishing sight to see a light
bedecked southern beauty shimmering in
the soft night as if clad in a thousand
gems, but having no other adornment
than this economical one of fireflies. The
poor use them in a more practical way for
lighting their houses by putting them un-
der wire soreens or in bottles, and they
prove quite successful in this office of
utility. At one time the laws of Spain
forbade the poor in Cuba using any other
means for house lighting than fireflies,
andthopraotice is still acommon one loug
after this strange law has been abolished.

WHEN LOVE WAS SWEETEST SUNG.
Dear little sunny heart of mine,
I bring to you a valentine
To tell you love's old song—
Some little, happy, blushing verses,
Sweet as the summer breeze rehearses,
To play your thoughts among.
To tell you how year magic spells,
Your love's mysterious incantations,
Bewitch me with the fascinations
Their gentle music tells.
And, thinking of the golden days
When love was sweetest sung, I breathe
A thought as fair as love can wreathe
And sing it in thy praise,

TOPPING OFF.
A Custom i'9' the Building Trade That 1.
DyIpg Oµt,
"What was onoo a very general custom
In this city, 'topping off,as it was nailed,"
remarked an old bricklayer to a reporter,
"has nearly died out, and, some of the new
generation of bricklayers have never par-
ticipated in it. 'Topping off' occurred the
day the last course of bricks was laid in a
house end was to celebrate tho event. On
the morning the `topping' was to take
place a Ang was raised on the building. It
was also a signal for the owner of the
building to prepare a lunch and the ous-
tomary drinkables, espeolaUy the drink-
ables, for all hands engaged on the build-
ing. Of course it generally wound up in
a mild kind of a spree, but it was the cus-
tom, and no one who amounted to any-
thing ever refused to give a 'topping out.'
The best kind of punches were often pro-
vided for 'topping out,' though In later
years it ran down to beer.
"In the days when ale was the drink I
have known of a barrel of, ale being used
at a 'topping out,' besides a barrel of sand-
wiches. The day Dr. Hall 'topped out'
his house on C street, near Four -and -one-
half street, which, by the way, was the
first brownstone front ever put up in this
city, he not only furnished all the ale and
porter necessary, but used up throe baskets
ot fried chickens, cakes and other things.
It was the talk of the town for years, espe-
cially among mechanics. There were also
a numberf other famous `topping outs.'
oPP 8
Mayor Berret 'topped out' his house on H
street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets, with fine champagne, as did also
Mr. Galt, the jeweler, who built a house
next to Mw. Many of the hod carriers
were given bucketfuls of cakes, cookies
and sandwiches at the close of the 'top-
ping out.' But those days have passed,
and when anything is said to the owners
of houses being built those days they ex-
press ignorance of the custom, and de-
cline to observe it when it is explained ta.,

The Canyons of Colorado.
The secret of the great denudation and
of this wonderful achievement of the Col-
orado in carving out of rock a series of
canyons about 500 miles long and in one
place at•least more than a mile deep, with
a mnititude of tributary chasms and
gorges, is very simple when you know it.
The old lake bed slowly rose. At first the
Colorado river and its tributaries or some
nameless monstrous ancestor of these,
sweeping over the slowly rising surfaces,
planed thorn down in most relentless fash-
ion and then began wearing out broad
shallow stream beds. But then the coun-
try rose more rapidly, and the water had
to cat deeper channels in the rocks in or-
der to get out and away to sea.
Owing in part to the wear of the water
itself, but more to the ceaseless bombard-
ment of tho suspended sand which it bore
from the up cbuntry or picked up as it
went along, and to the thump of pebbles
and bowlders which it swept on in flood -
time, the river kept cutting down as the
strata rose, until finally when what was
loft of our inland sea bottom got thrust up
so that, towering far above its erstwhile
rocky shores it had to be called a plateau,
the Colorado and its auxiliaries found
themselves at the bottom of a series of
colossal canyons and gorges, where they
are today.—T. Mitchell Prudden, M. D.,

WOMEN AS MEN IN ARMY.
Disguised, Many Have Served For Months
Without Discovery.
Military records contain quite a number
of instances in which women, disguised
as men, have entered the army and distin-
guished themselves on the battlefield, their
sex not being discovered for many years
afterward.
In 1872 a soldier who had enlisted under
the name of Paul Daniel attracted the at-
tention of a sergeant while drilling a body
of recruits at Portsmouth. At the conclu-
sion of the parade be sent for Daniel and
stated his susi Talons in regard to the re-
cruit's sex. On seeing that the game was
up, Daniel confessed to being a female
and burst int , tears when informed that
she could no longer continue with the
regiment. It appeared that her huslmnd,
after getting through a largo fortune, had
fled to Germany, where he had enlisted,
and his wife performed the deception in
the hope that ns a soldier she might be dis-
patched for service in that country and
thus discover her unfaithful partner.
A most remarkable woman was found
to be serving as an ordinary soldier in a
certain German corps toward the end of
the last century. Her sex was revealed
owing , to a false charge of theft being
made against her after she had been per-
forming her military duties of the regi-
ment for over six months. Before this she
had served in a regiment of the cuirassiers
for two years, in one regiment receiving a
wound in the arm, and afterward joining
the irenadiers. Being captured by the
enemy, she managed to escape and prompt-
ly enlisted in a regiment of volunteers,
and but for the unfortunate charge re-
ferred to might have spent her life in
military pursuits.
In 1769 a woman made a determined
effort to enlist in the East India company
forces. Although she was disguised per-
fectly as a man, her voice and her manner
gave her away, When the magistrate told
her that her application was hopeless, she
burst Into tears, saying that this was her
only chance of seeing her husband again,
who was then serving in India.—Chicago
