Perhaps no portion of scripture Is more generally read and holds great- er charm for the average person, both old and young, rich and pima than the lesson to -day. It can stand two teste which Byron declares to no conclusive of the peerit of liter- ary creations. It pleases immediate- ly,. and it pleases permanently; yet It seta forth the condition of every man, in Ws estrangements, degra- dation and dissatisfaction as a sin- ner before God. We are inclined to weep with the poor boy when through his sin and folly he is broughtehezWant and suffering, but when rigetel understood Ole was the beginning, or at leant an in- eitement to that whith led to tree nobility and permanent joy. The faets Arno us that his Nvas a Ditiable condition in heart, tendencies and at: titude at the first etagea When In hie father's house he was surround - by. luxury and the emoluments of wealth,. The parable sets forth manyim- portant fast er 1. 'Penning relation- ship. As a father Is the inetrumental eatMe Of the eon's bin, so God le the (source of all life. Man then is the offatiring of God, not a helpless 'orphan. How high his dignity, how Heir hie mtrireoar in hie father's muse. The relation he demands, 'Yea, expects of man, is that of loving, obedient fellowship to Him ; but ra- ther titan yield thie to God and eerne under the reatrainte or parental au - thorny, man, in base ingratitude willingly, blindly, pereiceeentlY turns from his loving, heavenly rather to ptlrsiuo bit/ own way. 2.

For bnsilage purposes a proper combination of stalk, leaves b.nd ears is desired Varieties that are suitable for 4,11 - silage aro not. as it rule, the (meet profitable to grow for husking on the sa.me farm or in the immed- iate The largest et era; of fodder a.re ebtained from the later ripening varieties, and for ensil- age the beat returns are obtained frore sorts that will just reach the glazed stage of ripeness 'before the time for early ..frost. Varietie that give the largest yield of good en- silage in Eastern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces are the best varieties for husking III Southwestern Ontario, and the best varieties for enellage in the latter district are grown for *husking in the great corn belt. It is not to be recommended, then, that farmere along the northern corn belt grow their own seed for ensilage corn. In securing their sur.plies eeed they become accustomed to depend entirely on their seedsmen. 'A great deal, therefore, depends on the care exercised by seed mer- chants in securing their supplies of seed corn. Owing to the male and female or- gans of reproduction being borne on different parts of the same plant It is difficult to keep varieties pure. The pollen Is borne on the 'tassel and must come in contact with the silk before seed formation can take place. The pollen is carried chiefly by the wend. Even when planted .two or three hundred yards apart, two distinct varieties become cross fertilized, and in consequence, es- tablished tyres 'become broken down. The characters of a variety of corn cannot be rreserved unless a system of continued selection of seed followed and the crop for eeed grown. at least a. quarter of a Mile distant from any other tyre or variety. Varaity names have become very much confused, and are not a safe gualo unless the seed be obtained from a sir: Led grower of seed corn. Cress -bred seed corns should under the names of favorably known stan- dard varieties been the cause of muaii disappointment and loss in crop. There are, in many cases, ex- ceedingly wide differences betweeo two strains of ,seed which, bear the sumo variety names. Under existing conditione Canadian corn growers cannot do better than endeavor to get seed of the best-known stand- ard varieties from sz.nrces that have boon proved to be the most relia- ble. The Seed Growers' Association, re- • cently organized by Prof. Robert- son, has a wide field for useful work In e:mouraging the production of gh-class, pnrc-bred sed corn. There s hno of work hat he grower of pedigreed seed may take up that • I ksly to prove more remunerative than tee growing of toed corn of varieties that are suitable for en- mlage purposes In the nor-thern da'ry d stricte. Although there are 75 farmers in Ontario who aro giv- ing epeeial attention to growing high-class Seed grain an members of the association, only nine of them are growing seed corn. It is hoped that othere may be Induced to take up the work. According to the rules of ti o assoefation seed corn grow - ewe ere reetered grate but one .variety on the game farm and. keep It pure by following a system! of eeleet'on familoor to the plan adopt- ed by the Illinolle Seed Cern Breed- ers' Aeseelation.

Wholesale trade at Montreal is im- proving. This is to some extent due to the opening of navigation. The demand for staple goods continues large and well distributed. The West bas been buy- ing large quantities but owing to the late opening of navigation at the head of Lake Superior the shipments hence are being delayed. Trade at Toronto ts showing -an in- creasing movement in some Important departments. The sorting trade is more active now. Values of staple and im- ported goods here are held with increas- ing firmness, owing to the recent reduc- tion of stocks by tbe fire and the fear that thereewill be a. shortage of supplies. A good many complaints 01 1311 wheat be- ing winter killed are coming to hand. Building operations are active. At Quebec little improvement is no- ticeable in trade circles over that of the preceding week. Favorable weather has had an effecet on eity trade, which is re- ported a little better. At Victoria, Vancouver and other Pa, cifie Coast centres, trade, as reported. to Bradstreet's, is fairly active now. • Reat estate transactions are numerous and the market is active. Active prepara- tions are being made for a heavy sal- mon "take." Payments are fair. The most encouraging feature in Win- nipeg trade conditions has been the finer weather and activity in seeding opera. tions andthe outlook for an increase in the production of grain this year is more promising. The demand for staple goods for cur- rent requirements of trade in Hamilton jobbing circles continues to expand. Shipments bave now reached large pro- portions and goads ere• being sent to various important centres of the Domin- ion. The moveinent 'would be even late ger than it is at present if navigation to tee head of Lake Superior were open.

Before the sun had fairly started on its daily journey the morbidly cur- ious pigrime began to arrive, and long before the hour for court to ton - vette, the "square"- in front of the Court Douse was thronged up to the very doors of the Temple of justice itself. 'When the doors were opened at 10 o'clock the line extended far out across the square. As soon as the Court room was thoroughly pack- ed -the doors were closed and the die - appointed thousands were compelled to await a more favorable ahence. Those fortunate enough to gain en- trahce to the dingy old Court room were in nowise disappointed at the tale unfolded by the witnesses call- ed by the State. It Neu.s an awful story, and the evidence reeked with blood and ghastly wounds. As one medleal wetness said, when asked to detail the scores of wounds; "There were cuts, castles, slashes, hacks, haggles and bruises in such numbers that I could not begin to count them." Ten -Score Cuts and Bruises. The climax came, however, when Dr. James 11. Wilson, who made the post-mortem, stated-- that lie had found on the body of the poor girl 170 separate wounds, and 31 bruises and contusions. When the full ,significance of the bloody etatistics was realized by the audience, a warp of horror swept over the cetutt roont and every eye eerie turned to' ethe • stothal woman who stet in the box absolutely un-, disturbed. If the full scope of this frightful testimony was understocd by Mrs. Powell, elle gave no indica- tion of it, ,for she never moved an eyelash. On the contrary, she seem- ed to grant more and more frigid than u.sual. The demeanor of this :woman, who shows suezh unnatural stokeism, was the wonder of all. When ishe came into court between the two bailiffs bearing solemnly the red and !black spears, she calm- ly eook the eeat altoted In the odd looking dock. .whero she is almost biddee from viewe and did not show by look or (tremor (that the proceed- ings were of mere than ordinary in- terest to her While there was a lull in the proceedings she glanced quickly around the room, evidently trying to letrate her husband, but she did not suSeead, as he was absent at the time. Sao did, however, see evince Of familiar faces of old neigh- bors. The prosecution, at the very be- ginning of the day, started weaving the 'bloody miesh, arid !before. the day bad elosed had effectually wrapped' the hard faced nveiMan in it. In rapid succession ghastly reminders of the murder /were paraded. here was a bloody knife, it (bloody dross -and ghastly photographs that had been taken to ,sliciw else eery all the gap- ing WOunds. • Suicide Theory Dispelled. Tim first wetness clans(' was Jas.

Et was brought down stales on a. "gum' blanket and placed in (the kit:ellen. An important Debit in the conten- tion of GM defenee will be that the girl committed feticide. To 'bolster ine 'title tlieory It was brought out that a knife twos found in the dead girl's hand. On croes-examination the witness took, a ectiffe erten, his pocket and gave an illustration of /100l tightly it bad been clutched. Ile Naid that considerable force had to be emplonsel to pull the knife atvey. Al this paha the trial took on a spectadular aepect. A photographer, Ialelund Draper, offered for the in- epection of the'jursci several ghastly photographs lie had taken Of the girre body', In the home of the Po- wells. The defend° objectedto the pictures going to the jury at the present time, ond the three judger, after a long 'conaultation, ruled that the State would have to await an- other opportunity.

In -a further state- ment the detective told of a conver- sation he had with the defendant, which was listened to with breathless interest. During this recital Mrs. Powell gave the nearest approach toleeling that she has shower.. The Nvitnese told how the conduct of Essie Albin had become intolerable, and she had been driven out time and again, but some influence al- ways brought the girl back.
