(London Daily Mail.)
The Bisb.op of London is this week
paying a \dolt to Russia. The object
of his visit is exclusively conneetod
'with the English Chureh, in which he
le holding his fleet confirmations in
St. Peeersburg, Moscow and Wareaw;
but he has also ntade the acquain-
tance of the leaders of the Ruseion
clergy and had an insight into the
service of the Russian Orthodox
Church.
All the members of the British Col-
ony et St. Petersburg are much im-
pressed by the bishops inseinatieg

Intuitively finding the right word for
everybody, His sermons have been
greatly,- appreciated, particularly one
delivered to the mill hands.
On Saturday Dr. Ingram was pres-
ent at the solemn Holy Day serviee
of the "Purification of Our Lady" in
St Isaac's Cathedral. He was met
on his arrival by Bishop Vladimir,
head of the Russian Church in Eur-
ope, who kissed Ms cheeks, and the
many priests assieting at the ser-
vice kissed his hands.
A constant stream of Russians slow-
ly passed the point where they could
get a view of the bishop on the high
altar. Dr. Ingram was vested in gol-
den mitre and gold brocade cope,
studded with precious stones, and
held together by a splendid clasp
valued at £400. His appearance ac-
corded fully with that of the high
Russian clergy, resplendent in their
sileer-embroidered. sky-blue robes, al-
though the clean-shaven and clean-
cut features and short hair of the An-
glican divine contrasted with the Rus -
mane' long beards and flowing looks
After the St. Isaac's service Dr. In-
gram travelled by special train to
the Impeeial Palace at Tsarskoe Solo•
for an audience. He had an hour's
conversation with the Czar, and laten
a half-hour with the Czarina. The
talk was en general topics, and both
their Majesties were most amiable.
The beautiful English church on
Neva Quay, richly decorated with
flowers, had a crowded congregation
on Sunday morning to hear the bish-
op, including the British Ambassador.
and Lady Nicholson and the Ameri-
can Ambassador. Dr. Ingram also
preached in the afternoon a confir-

be faithful witnesses of our Lord. His

CHILDHOOD INDIGESTION
MEANS SICKLY BABIES
The baby who suffers from iudiges-
tion is simply starving to death. It
loses all desire for food and. the little
it does take does it no good; the child
is peevish, cross and restless, and the
mother feels worn out in caring for it.
Baby's Own Tablets always euro indiges-
tion, and xnake the child sleep healthily
and naturally. Mrs. Geo. Howell, Sandy
Beach, Que., says: "My baby suffered
from indigestion, colic and vomiting,and
cried day and night, but after giving
him Baby's Own Tablets the trouble dis-
appeared and he is now a healthy child."
The Tablets will cure all the minor ail-
ments of babyhood and childhood. Sold

Proclaims the youth of spring,
Awakes from slumberland the strongr
New Iife in. everything,
The full-anouthed streams ice -laden flOW,
Draining the cheokered fields of snow.
Rushing headlong in drunken spree;
flushing o'er the rosy east,
Morning's dawn, o'er roan and beast,
It welcomes sunbeams tree.
Bursts forth the *waxen buds anew,
Reviao the leafless trees
The breathing zephyrs whisper too,
To hives of drowsy bees;
The cattle freed frora vrinter's ohains,
I3ound from the barnyard down the lane,
Rejoicing in their holiday;
How clear and long the proud cook crown
How all the hens, too, cackle so
O'er nesthidden away.
Surrounded by Ills humble wealth,.
Stalwart the farmer stands,
The robtust picture of good health,
The sinew e our land;

Plodding o'er Lield's whistling sweet strains;
Well knows he .groWing wants of sPriag

Ho feels so young again.

A stalk holding plump ears;
In nature's lore he.knowe ttiii well

The stiff-necked earthly pharisee,

Much owe we them what we are now,
A land both broad and free.

To shield their liberty;

The gilded pomp of state and power
Alike are but some borrowed flowers,
Pale mootbeainufin life's hall.'

A bulletin will soon la lamed from the
haeteriological laboratory of the Ontario
Agrieultural ("allege at Guelph, giving
the results) of Canadian experimental
work on the inoeulation of seed of
legumes.
R has long been known that duvet's,
alfalfe, ete.„ when ploughed under greatly
enriclied the soil. In the meldle '80's
Hellriegel alscoverea that the reason for
Ode was that the nodules on the roots
of Knell plants weft; inhabited by bacteria
which had the pewee of drawing the value
able fertiliving element, nitrogen, from
the air and storing it up in the plant
-
A, few years ago the idea WAS conceived
of cultivating these Imeteria, and apply-
ing them directly to seed before sowing.
In Canada this work Was begun in
1a05, when Iferrieon and Barlow edit'
246 eultures of such bacteria to Cana-
• dian tanners, A letter was sent to all
• them asking for report of their experi-
Mena and the replies were tabulated and
published as Bulletin 148 ea the college.
During 1900 cultures were again sent
frorn the college, 375 cultures being dis-
tributed to nine provinces and to four
• foreign eoentries. As in the previous
year, blanks were sent to reuipients of
the cultures askiug for a report as to
their success or failure. Of a total of
120 reports received, 72 showed e benefit,
and 48 no benefit,
Last season 372 cultures were sent,
and the reports received showed A bene-
fit to the crops in a little over 54 per
cent. of the applicetion,
When Inoculationis of Benefit.
When a leguminous crop is thrivlag,
it indicetes either that the soil is plen-
tifully inoculated with the necessary
bacteria, or else that the soil • already
contains an abundant supply of nitro.
gen. In either ease the use of artificial
inoculation wouldabe of little if any
benefit, On the other hand, it the crop
fails to thrive, and on examinatioono
nodules are foetid on the roots the col-
, tura would. probably be of benefit in
future seedings, The culture usually
proven beneficial in seeding to a legume
crop that hail never been grown on the
, land to be sown.. The soil may lack
available potash, phosphoric acid or lime,
Inoculation of seed cannot remedy this
deficiency. Nor will the use of cultures
compensate in any way for caaelessnesa
in seleetioa of seed or preparation of
the soil.
Cultures for inoculating seed will again
be distributed during the coming spring
to any who apply. Full directions are
sent with each culture, and.it is expect.
ed. that each recipient of the bacteria
will carry -on the experiment direfully,
'sowing mine untreated seed, and report
• his experience at the end of the season.
The price of the culture is 25 cents for
• sufficient to treat one bushel of seed.
Cultures will be sent for inoculating
seed of alfalfa, red clover, alsike, peas,
beans.
Applications should state the kind and
amount of seed. to be treated, and as
nearly as can be judged the date of the
seeding, and be addressed to Bacteriolog-
ical Laboratory, Agricultural College,
Guelph, Canada.

One of the most violent and sudden
gales of recent years swept down frena
the northwest over the British Isles
Saturday. afternoon. In the Midlands
Rua north it left a track of destruction
musing thousands of penmen' damage
and the loss of thirteen lives.
Thunder and lightning accompanied
the gale, whielnewept across country at
• sixty miles an hour with gusts reaching
at times between eighty, and a htvaired
miles. Hail fell so thickly in. places that
the air wits darkened. Snow fell in the
north, but in most •districts it was a
deluge ot Mill, flooding rivers and
streams. Telegraph, telephone and elec-
tro tramway wires, roofs of factories,
houses, tend churches, football grand
stands, rifle awl golf pavilions, vessais
and lightships, and even the ancient
stone market cross of Helesowen, weigh-
ing several tons, were swept off and
• wrecked, Three carriages on en exposed
railway viaduct in Donegal were almost
blown over the parapet, hanging at an
angle of forty-five degrees. The engine
kept the lino and the passengers escaped.
The death roll is as follows:
• Mir. Tom Cook, chairman Caistor

refuge beside it before it collapsed.
