--One of the main differences in
home, lies in who lives in them.
« *«
—Keep up if you can. If you admit
that you are down, you treble the
obstacles to getting up,
* * *
—When we read of so many kind
words being said in Saskatchewan of
Iteciprocity, we are reminded that the
speakers are among those who "Speak
well of the dead."
--I presume it will be order to re-
mark that in taking the duty off
cement to relieve the scarcity in the
West, the Borden Government has
given a "concrete" example of its
good will to the people.

--June 26th was the 5&h birthday
of Premier Borden. Canadians gener-
ally, irrespective of party affiliations
wish him many happy returns of the
day, and many years of usefulness in
the service of his country.
—Premier Borden and three of his
Cabinet are gone to England, not
merely on a pleasure trip, but on
business. It is hoped good results
will follow in the monthe to come,
when the business has become crystal-
lized into practical legislation.

—Amidst the strife and bitterness
sometimes manifest, it is pleasing to
note exceptions. That was one in-
stance at Waterville, Quebec, where
the Orangemen offered the Roman
Catholics the use of their hall when
the Catholic church was burned
down.

The Dominion of Canada was 45
years of age on Monday last. Of the
patriotic band known as "The Fathers
of Confederation," only one now re-
mains. We refer to Hon. Sir Charles
Tupper, G, 0, M. G., who has watch-
ed with pardonable pride the develop-
ment of Canada since that notable
gathering that decided the question of
Confederation, in 1867.

—Questions are abroad as to the
increased price of coal. Strange to
say, an Ottawa dealer in tendering
for government supplies, offered to
furnish 9,500 tons of coal at $6.09 a
ton, while private parties are asked to
pay $7.65. The Ottawa Citizen re-
marks :—If the Federal government
can save over $1.50 per ton by large
bulk orders, there seems to be no
reason why the citizens, who in real-
ity comprise the government, should
not purchase coal used for domestic
purposes in co-operative bulk at a
figure similarly low, After all, gov-
ernment is but co-operation politically
expressed.

—There seems to be a very close
connection between money and war.
Vast sums are spent annually ()asted
many believe) on warlike prepara-
tions, navies etc. Millions are spent
on battle ships that in a few years are
relegated to the scrap heap. But
money exerts a wider influence on
war than in mere preparatory expen-
diture. Professor David Starr Jordan,
the noted peace advocate, is issuing
this month a book entitled The In-
visible Empire, in which he shows
that practically all the war debts of
Europe are held by one great financial
organization, who, by reason of this
grip upon the nations, is able to
dictate peace between the powers of
the world. Hence, in bringing in the
dawn of universal peace, the money
lords must be reckoned with.
A Terrible Storm.
An awful storm swept over Regina,
on Sunday afternoon, cutting a swath
of two mi"es through the city, and
wrecking some of the most substantial
buildings. Twenty six of those killed
have been identified, and scores were
injured, The damage is estimated at
several million dollars.
Entered The Ministry.
Mr. W. E. Lucas, of Mildmay, for-
merly of Wingham, has entered the
ministry and has been stationed as
pastor of Wilkesport and Sonrbra
Methodist Churches. He enters on
his duties next Sunday and will reside
at \ViIkesport, Mr. Lucas' friends in
Wingham will wish him success in
his work.
No. 5 Fruit District.
The department of agriculture and
the Ontario Fruit Growera' associa-
tion have arranged to conduct an or-
chard competition this year. For the
purpose the province has been divided
into six districts, in each of which
prizes will be given, ranging from $15
to $ 75, according to the acreage. This
locality is in No. 5 district, which
comprises Lambton, Huron, Bruce,
Grey and Sitncoe. The competition
will be limited to apples in all. but the
Niagara district, where grapes and
other fruit will be included.
Palmerston Loses.
The case of the Mount Forest Car-
riage Company against the Town of
Palmerston was settled out of court.
This action Grose over. an agreement
which had been made to purchase the
building of the company with a view
to the establishment of another in-
dustry, but the parties interested fail-
ed to show up after the Town of
Palmerston had submitted and carried
a by-law loaning them $15,000 and
guaranteeing a factory site. The
carriage company .hold the town to
their bargain, and the case was settled
by the payment of $3,600 with costs
of $50 against the town.

According to the testimony of Dr. J.
E. Clark, the county chemist, his
specific for many diseases consisted
only of water containing ten per cent.

by wide advertising he was able to
work up a trade in it which brought
him many thousands of dollars. The
cost of the mixture was about ten
cents a barrel, and he sold it for $5 a
bottle. His advertisements declared
that if the wonderful remedy were
dropped in the eye as he directed, it
would cure rheumatism, tuberculosis,
dandruff, ingrowing nails, and whoop-
ing cough. And people actually be-
lieved it.

Prize The Orchard.
Farm and Dairy has the follow-
ing :—Many an old homestead ha,
been cleared of debt and saved from
passing into the bands of strangers by
the profits that have been made from
the apple orchard, .An editor of Farm
and Dairy, when driving through Hal-
ton county recently, came across a
case of this kind. We were passing a
well -kept orchard of six or eight acres
in extent when the farmer with whom
the editor was driving remarked,
"That orchard lifted the mortage and
saved the farm. When the son who
owns the place took it, it was loaded
right up to the hilt with debt. This
son immediately set out an orchard of
six or eight acres. All are Spys. As
soon as the orchard came into bearing
his debts began to disappear. Some
what is called the "Electoral College." years the income from those six acres
would be‘ $1,200 to $1,500. The or -
These 531 are elected by the different
States, in proportion to the popula- chard made that farm, and it does not

populous State sends 39 to the Elec- either."
A Walkerton Riot.
They had a small riot in Walkerton
recently. Some limemen began fight-
ing, and the Chief of Police arrested
one of them. His companions en-
deavored to release him, and even
some of Walkerton citizens, instead of
assisting the Chief, helped to maul
him and he was getting the worst of
it, when two of the ministers of the
town, Rev's Wilson and Sanderson,
placed themselves on the side of law
and order, and rescued the chief. The
disorderly men were finally arrested,
and the fines amounted to over $61.

Benefit of Testing.
A striking example of the advantage
accruing to the dairyman from the
careful testing of bis cows is afforded
in a recently -published synopsis of the
work of a single Cow -Testing Associa-
tion. The profit on ane herd. of 45
cows, for the limited period of the
test, was $122 21. The profit on the
best ten cows included in the same
herd was $151.82. It is therefore seen
that not only did the owner feed and
care for 35 poor cows, with no return
whatever, but he actually spent upon
them $29 61 of the money earned by
the ten good cows. He would have
been far better off had he only kept
the 10.—[Farm & Dairy.

they have raised the standard of

To quote from the last annual re
port of the School of Mining, Queen's'
University, Kingston :--"The opinion
is growing stronger year by year that
the attempt to educate by lecturing to
large classes is largely a waste of
time, particularly in subjects like
those of en engineering course, where
readiness in the use of ideas is what
the student must atm at. Thie quality
can not be drawn out by talking to
then. It can only be cultivated by
activity on the part of the students
themselves," This implies the break -
124 up of large classes into blocks of
n
ten to twenty for questioning. etc,
All this rests on a sound lee's, viz..
"that a man must be kept busy, if he
is to profit by his studies. A student
14 not necessarily busy w
n ril when
he is
listening to a lecture but he roust be
when be is answering questions or
working out a laboratory problem."
