English Actor Was Greatly Surprised at an American Custom. Percy Marshall, an actor of con- eelsierable renown in England, was recently in this country on a pro- fessionel tour, and chanced to be thrown isato a Pennsylvania town where the prohibition. idea was pre- dominant. Disliking the idea of drink- ing in Anis bedroom, as if he were a half -reformed druinlcard stealing an unguarded opportunity, and flatting that the proprietor of the hotel in whish be was eteytng would on no iceoun't allow .hits to take refresh- ment to the ordinary civilized way, Mr. Cr. Marshall walked out Leto the .Street to see If it really could be true that there was no place where the absurd reetrictton did not op- erate. Int his.waljs he !net a member of the company who had "been there be- fore." "r know .what you are look- ing foe" said the old hand, slyly, "a whiskey and soda." Mt•. Marshall nodded. "Well," said the other, " "If you go to that drug store at the corner of the street and execute a very emphatic wink while you ask for a cocoa witnie you will get a whis- key and soda of most excellent qual- itty and dimensions." Mr. Marshall thought at first that a joke was be- teg played upon him, but it was a hot day, and tho thine was worth risking. and into the drug store he went. where fie followed his friend's instructions to the letter. ,Almost folding up one side of his face in the performance of a wink, he asked for the cocoa wine, and was immediately rewarded for has feat of contortion with one of the largest whiskey and sodas be has ever tackled, Which just shows that there mast be a good deal 'of ivtnating done by the authori- ties sts well.—Chieago Chrouiele.

It, I., Superintendent of Farmers' Institutes, 010,, tette prepu re] A Sketelt of the Work already accomplished In Prince 1<d - ward Island which may he of In- terest and benefit to those infer- t este.d in agricultural education in Other provinces. According to Pref, • efeMillnu : "The organization o1 farmers' Ln stitutes In Prince Edward Island "vas era 'undertaken in June, 1901.1 At that time the lion. Benjamin itogers;" Commissioner of Atgrteul- ture, assisted by the writer and two experienced institute workers, , supplied by the Department of Ag- 1 rlculture at Ottawa, held meetings of laa mere in the different sections of the Province, for the purpose of discussing) the advantages el the institute system. As a result of these meetings, the organization of twenty institutes was eanupleted before the end of the year. The Farmers' Inetitute system of Prince Edward Island is twofold in tts aims. It seeks to combine the ed- ueati.ontal features of the Ontario, system with the facilities for dealing in live stook afforded by the old Ag- riculturel Societies' plan. Each or- ganization le a Farmers' Institute and Agribultural Society combined. A. Government grant of $50 is paid aauually to each societty, which has alt tenet 50 members enrolled, and collects $40 per year be membership fees. A sum amounting to $1,000 was expended In this way last year. The total membership up to December slat, 1901, was 1,624, and the amount subscribed in fees was $911.- 50. The receipts of the Institurtes from all sources amounted to .nearly $2,000. Title money was expended in the purchase of pure bred stock, etnd in defraying the expenses of lec- turers. Thirty-three meetings, chief- ly for purposes of organization, were held during the first year. At the beginning of the present year a re- gular .series of institute meetings was arranged and carried out suc- cessfully. Several speakers were em- ployed, and various agricultural top - les trete( brought up for discussion, chief among which were, dairying, hog -raising and chicken -fattening. As all of these are Selye t usL e > nd rt ,s re t. u � tt .art the interest mattttestetl In the Meet. Inge was great. The attendance throughout wee good, fully 2,000 peeple being brpnght In contact with the lecturers, who were not slow els take advantage of every opporten- ity to impart leseone of praetleal value.

It may also be shown that an advancement hoe taken ,pease along other linea. The people realize thist and are anxious that more edu- cattonar meetings should be held." 1 !luring the month of July a, series of midsummer lectures were given before the institutes by Prof, H. $Ir Dean anti Mr. D. Drummond, repre- senting tile Dominion Department of Agriculture, besides several local speakers. With one or two ex- ceptions where the advertising fall - ed, they were a grand success. Tie farmers turned out well and matii- rested a deep interest in the meet- ings. Twenty-seven Institutes were visrited, and an afternoon and evens Ing meeting held at each. dile aver.- age ver-age attendance at the afternoon meetinge was between 50 and 60, ip same instances there were over ],CTC" people present, The illustrated lee - tures on dairy cattle, which form- ed the 01)ief feature .of these meet- ings were entirely new to our farm- ers and were very, well received, Tho average attendance at tete even- ing meetings was fully 100.

Mr. Drummond, too, has given ex- cellent satisfaction. The people were very favorably impressed with his work in live stock, and in other litres, We should like to Have both gentlemen again.

W. Hodson, Live Stock Cosumtpsloner,r It is about forty years since the popularity of the apron began to Wane. At that time go woman's wardrobe was complete without au assortment of aprons for all torts of occasions. A black silk apron was the acme of elegance and propriety, and any nondescript gown could, by the addition of the black silk apron, trimmed tvitlt a few rows of black velvet ribbon, be dignified and adorned to the utter saiafactlon of the wearer. An apron bad rather a wide held of usefulness when you consider that it not only preserved and embellish- ed a newt gown, but it also concealed the defects, and added (Unity to an old one. An apron was always en regal. The beet dress was kept clean by its use, and the daintiness of it represented all the feminine traits. It Was a regular banner of the home. To its strings the children were tate. "Tied to hie mother's apron strings l" Contemptuous expression of subor- dination ! And yet so much sentiment attached to it I Whoever wee tied to hie mother's apron strings was comparatively, in his mother's lead. Brother's aprons The baby was rolled in it. Childish" tears were dried with it. The little boys used its strings for reins, and the little girls played princess and trailed its ample folds behind them—real ladies in waiting to an imaginary queen. Those were ante -new woman days. Knitting and needlework were femi- nine occupations. It was previous to the day of higher education for wo- men, It may sound far-fetched to say that home sentiment waned with the decline of the apron. The latter may not have been the cause, but it certainly kept pace with It. I have the written statement of a man to the effect that o snow-white apron tied neatly around a trim waist had power to attack the masculine heart at tee most vutnerabto point. After that, say there is no sentiment about an apron ! But than cherishes oi'ntl- ment about things bf which the femi- nine mind has no conception, and his heart has been many tinter ensnared in the muslin bow that tied at the back of his sweetheart's waist this banner of the home.
