—Professor Goldwin Smith, who
writes for the Weekly Sun over the
signature of "Bystander," says :—
"Bystander likes Mr. Whitney's
proposal of a consultative Council
of Education, It would let fresh
air into that bureaucracy, and there
is no reason why it should not
work as smoothly as the British
Board of Admiralty, or Council of
India."

—A Bill creating the Territories
of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and
Arizona into States of the Ameri-
can Union was passed by the
House of Representatives at Wash-
ington last week without a division
and now goes to the Senate, where
there is every prospect of its pass-
age. The three Territories now
have a population of about 1,009,-
000, Oklahoma claiming 600,000,
and New Mexico and Arizona 200,-
000 each. If the bill passes, the
total number of States will be forty-
eight, and three new stars will be
added to the American flag.

—It is reported that two great
Polar expeditions set out on the
first week of April for the north
polo. Lieut. Peary was to leave
Gape Sabine in Greenland for a
dash to the pole and E. B. Baldwin
was to leave Franz Joseph Land
the same week. Mr. Baldwin has
the most perfectly equipped expe-
dition which has ever been organ-
ized, a New York millionaire, Mr.
Zeigler, having put up $1,000,000
to pay the expenses of the expedi-
tion. It remains to be seen wheth-
er the scientific results of these ex-
peditions are sufficient to justify
the expenditure of money and life.

—Two-thirds of all the letters
which pass through the post offices
of the world are written by and
sent to people who speak English,
says Bradstreet's. There are sub-
stantially 500,000,000 persons
speaking colloquially one or other
of the ten or twelve chief modern
languages, and of these about 25
per cent, or 125,000,000 persons,
speak English. About 90,000,000
speak Rnssian, 75,000,000 German,
55,000,000 French, 45,000,000
Spanish, 35,000,000 Italian and
12,000,000 Portuguese, and the
balance Hungarian, Dutch, Polish,
Flemish, Bohemian, Gaelic, Rou-
manian, Swedish, Finnish, Danish
and Norwegian. Thus, while only
one-quarter of those who employ
the facilities of the postal depart-
ments of civilized governments
speak as their native tongue Eng-
lish, two-thirds of those who cor-
respond do so in the English lan-
guage. There are, for instance,
more than 20,000 post offices in
India, the business of which in let-
ters and papers aggregates more
than 3oo,000,000 a year, and the
business of these offices is done
chiefly in English, though of In-
dia's total population, which is
nearly 3oo,000,000, fewer than
3oo, 00o persons either speak or un-
derstand English.
THE RURAL TELEPHONE.
(Front Farmers Advocate.)
We hope before the next census
is taken to see the tide of popula-
tion flowing eountryward. The
telephone gives the country the ad-
vantage of town conditions in
many ways. It is the greatest
time-saver and annihilator of dis-
tance in modern life. Think of the
thousands of miles of weary travel-
ling every day by men, women and
children and horses, and the incal-
culable time, that it saves ] In a
great many localities throughout
Canada, physicians have been the
first to establish local telephone
systems for the benefit of their pa-
trons, and these lines are, of course,
used for more purposes than "call-
ing the doctor" or the minister.
Neighbors four or five miles apart
talk to each other on business mat-
ters over the 'phone, groceries are
ordered from the village store,
grain or stock can be bought or
sold that way, hired help engaged,
and ladies can do their "calling"
over the wire instead of tramping
or driving for miles over a muddy
road. Many large farms now have
telephones to different departments
connected with the residence of the
owner or manager. In some cases
two neighbors have a line between
them and the country store, and in
others there will be six or seven on
the circuit. Often the line runs to
a village where there is a railway
station and telegraph service,which
greatly extends the sphere of its
usefulness without falling into the
hands of the general telephone sys-
tem of the country. As to the eost
of local telephone linea, we are fur-
nished the following statement
Depending upon the locality, good
jcedar posts about 20 feet long will
diene, in. Porcelain insulators cost' ree
two cents each, and, in addition,
small iron spikes or screws to fas-
tem them to the posts or cross-
pieces. Glass insulators and blocks
cost about six cents each. No. 12
galvanized wire wilt answer, and
will require from 125 to 150 lbs. to
the mile, costing from 83.25 to
83.50 per 100 lbs. Two men will
put up a mile of wire per day. The
instruments cost $12.50 each, be-
sides which some insulated wire
and window tubes for the houses
will be required. From time to
time the water in the batteries will
need renewing. Care must be ta-
ken that the lines are kept perfect-
ly insulated at all points,
ORCHARD SUGGESTIONS.
Made at Orchard Institute Meeting.
In planting, trees should be
given a slight slant towards the
prevailing wind. The main roots
should be placed so as to brace the
trees against the wind, and the tree
should be so headed that the main
branches would not when loaded
bend directly away from the tree
and so be apt to break off.
Trees, after they have grown
crooked, may be straightened some-
what by the use of the spade early
in the spring, when the ground is
soft.
In pruning the south side of the
tree it can be left a little thicker
than the north side, as it receives
more light and moisture.
It pays to thin over -loaded trees
at least 20 per cent., as the remain-
ing fruit will 'ee of a better quality.
A man who does not know a
fruit bud from a leaf bud should
never be allowed to prune a tree.
You can hasten the development
of fruit spurs and multiply the
fruit buds by checking the growth
of the wood. This can be (lone by
pruning the roots with a spade, or
by nipping off the ends of twigs.
The latter method is preferable, as
it does not impair the vitality of
the tree as does the root cutting.
Where large wounds are made in
the trees from cutting off large
limbs the wound should at once be
painted over. A good paint mix-
ture is made by mixing 2 lbs. ce-
ment with 10 lbs. of milk. For an
old wound where rotting has set in
further injury may be prevented by
using two parts of cement and one
of sand, completely covering the
wound so as to exclude the air.
Orchards should be cultivated
constantly until the middle of July
then a cover crop of clover, rape
or rye, to be plowed under next
spring.
Apples must be handled more
like eggs than turnips if we expect
to realize good prices for our fruit.
The Baldwin, Ben Davis, Green-
ing and Spy are at present the fa-
vorite commercial variety.
BORDEAUX MIXT1. nE.—After the
blue stone is dissolved it should be
put in 20 gallons of water, and the
Iime after it is dissolved should be
put in another 20 gallons of water.
The two mixtures may then be
brought together. If the lime and
blue stone are brought together un-
diluted they will curdle.
Mr. Gaston strongly advises the
use of lye as a wash for the trunks
of trees. It should be applied ev-
ery second year after the old bark
has been scraped off. It not only
destroys all bark lice, but seems to
havema tonic effect upon the tree.
Canada's Commercial Growth.
The growth of a country's for-
eign trade is not the only measure
of its prosperity ; but it is at least
a pretty fair indication of a coun-
try's commercial and industrial
condition. Internal trade is of
course more profitable and import-
ant than foreign trade; but where
a country is selling more of its
goods abroad and buying more
from abroad than at any other pe-
riod of its history, the fact is pretty
good evidence that that country is
wealthier than ever it was before.
If Canada's prosperity were to
be judged solely by the growth of
its foreign trade, it would have to
be adjudged the second most pros-
perous country in the world. Our
commercial expansion during the
decade from 1890 to 1900 is exceed-
ed only by that of Japan. This
will he seen from the following ta-
ble of increases published by the
New York Herald :--
Percentage of increase
during the decade.
Imp"ts. Exp'ts.
Japan 109.3 114
Canada .... 60.3 104
Austria-Hungary ,53.4 48,1
Egypt 74,0 41.2
Germany 30.1 38.6
Italy 28.8 49.4
Netherlands CO 56.4
France 1.8 10.6
'United kingdom 21.3 10,5
tnited States 7.7 62,2
Great as was the expansion of
Canadian trade during the last de-
cade, the probability is that during
the first ten years of the century it
will be mueb greater. Canada has
just struck her gait.
