There can be rte dnnht, gars London Tit*Bite, that the su•;oes_ees the Japanese tstve had are attributable to their re- mark.tble advance in seientiito accomp- shments, their ast-nlnding personal o f u 1 e i � t rad rd to andth h.hsa a revery,. 1110tual culture a•nong the ' people at ',large. Japan has a population of 45,- 000,000, the Ro o'ran Empire more than 140.000,000. But in Japan 4,302,523 children attend s hind, in Russia only 4,193.594. The differt,nce is still greater as regards the higher edno'ttioual est:ib- i lisbments in Japau compared with Rus ia, A receut despatch from Ottawa says: - 1 Reports from many districts indicate that potato blight and rot are again causing serious lots to the farmers of Canada, This ilis.•ase has been quite prevalent iu va•ioas parts of Ontario and Quebec, and, althuntsh a good pre- yentive is known in the Bordeuux usix- ture, few growers s em to have sprayed their potatoes Mr. L H N.iwn:au, of the Ste( Divisiou, who visited nearly every county in Ontario during the summer, coatis ms Luis statement, and that iu many eases he found growers sadly weenie; rti kuow.edge of the disease and Lute heads of preveuting it." CHEESE OF GOOD QUALITY. Mr. G A. Putnam, Superintendent of Fartuere' Iuhtrrntes, has received an iu- terming report from the chief instruc- tor fir easteru Outerio, Mr. C. G. Pub love, who has been visiting a number of .wholesale cheese houses in Montreal He states that the September and October Cheese outputs received from Ontario by these hooses, and intended chiefly for shipment to Britain, are superior to those of any previous year. The quality 18 mord unifurui and of a higher grade, and this improvement is held to be due, in a large measure, to the systematic instruction which has been carried ou in Outario duriug the last two years. The chiet iestructior for western Ontario Mr. S. H. Barr, reports the same satis- factory conditions in his district. Mr. Putnam has also received answers from several iustractors to a oircnlar etter whecn he sent out some time ago with a view to securing hints and sug- gestious toward continued improvement. Some of the replies are to the effect that a number of factories should have cooler curing rooms and better drain- age; that cheesemakers should reject all taiuted and over -ripe milk, and be more observant in several important details of the work. One instrnotor thinks fac- tory -owners should have no option, but that iustruution should be compulsory. TILE WINCIIAli TIMES, NOVEMBER 3, 19O4ie IN THE ,EARLY DAYS, Railway Matters in Huron, Bruce and Perth. The Listowel Beerier is publishing extracts from old file oopies of the palter The followig article, of local interest, appeared iu the Bauuer of July 20th, 1$71:—Our well informed Blnevale cor- respondent thus summaries railway affairs in the vicinity of that village. The star of,the Broad Gauge is, eviueut- ly in the art eudaut there just now. He aays: Our village is now iu tip -toe expec- tation about t andru Roil - way. - t>o the8 oeRr 1 way. As you are aware that I am a strong Londou man, ypu will give ate credit that what I now say about the ]3amiltou road is not at all colored. The President, Mr. McGivern, along with others, paid a flying visit to. Ain. ley "11 W -u ant r e_ n e, i lzh and Lockup v, where he held meetings. He laid a very plausible scheme down before the men of authority in these lnunicipelities; I mean our Reeves, and they were enchanted with it, and have agreed to accept all that the president promised. The road is to come from the main branch at Palmerston I think, to Listowel, thence to withiu a mile and aquarter north of Aiuleyville, thence to near Blnevale, Wiugham and up to Luoknow. I must confess that there seems to be something iu this scheme. At least there is this, I can evidently see, the people go `in iu almost unanimously for it. It seems to be the most popular with the people of any road that has yet beeu on the board. Elme township has promised a gold buuus. Grey township is in for it, Morris too. The Wawanushes say they will have no other if they can't get this. Turuberry, so far as I can see from the Reeve and Councillors, is greatly in its favor, and while we could not get a promise for more than $25,000 out of Turnberry for the Loudon road, she seems quite willing to give her $30,000 for this Hamilton road. The last town- ship that was most unwilling t0 give it was Kinloss; Mr. Purvis, the Reeve stack our to make the Hamilton men keep to the route through Hawick and Wroxeter, but when he saw it was nu use he gave iu. Mr. McGiven, the pres- ident, has gone nome to ascertaia when he and a delegation composedof all the Reeves of the townships iuterested, can get an interview with Sandfield about the $ 2 , 0 0 0 per mile subsidy. Then when this is settled these several townships will immediately sub- mit by-laws to be voted ou for bonuses. The whole road is to be surveyed, located and put under contract inside three monthe, and is to be built through in two years from the time the bonuses are given. CURIOUS FACTS. It was found the other day in London that a stolen dog which failed to mden- tify its owner had been dosed with aniseed by the thief. Aniseed destroys the sense of smell temporarily. The dog did not recover for two or three days. Fishermen on the Lake of Neuchatel are using automobile boats. They are driveu by a benzine motor and light, ed by electricity. They are fiat -bot- tomed, glide noiselessly over the water, do not frighten the fish, and are a great success.

That's a pity. That's what you go to church for, to hear the music; we demand good music on Sunday in chnrch, no matter what we are willing to listen to elsewhere. 'And the pews are not comfortable. That's too bad; the Sabbath is the day of rest, and we go to church for repose. The less we do through the week the more rest we clamor for on the Sabbath. The chnrch is too far away. This is indeed distressing. Sometimes when I think how much farther away Hea- ven is than the chnrch, and that there are no conveyances of any description on the road, I wonder how some of us are going to get there. And the sermon is so long always. All these thing are,indeed,to be regretted. I would regret them more sincerely, my boy, did I not know that you will often squeeze into a stuffed street car, with. a hundred other men breathing an incense of whiskey, beer and tobacco, hang to a strap by your eyelids for two miles, and then pay fifty cents for the privilege of setting on a rough plank in the hot sun two hours longer, while in the intervals of the game a sicratch band will blow discordant thunder out of a dozen misfit horns right into your ears, and then come home to talk the rest of the family into a state of aural paralysis abont the "dandiest game you ever saw played on, that grriniid." Ah, my boy, you see what staying away from church does'. It developer a habit of lying. There isn't one man in a hundred who taonld go on the witness stand and give Oath, the same reason for not going to church that he ghee to his family every Sunday morning. My eon, if you don't thing you ought to go, you wouldn't make any nooses for not going. No man apologizes for doing right. —Term Ohristian Advocate. Reflections of' a Bachelor. A woman is so queer she can guess wrong and yet hit it right, A great run of luck always begins for the man who doesn't get married.

Bachelors define marriage and misery as synonymous. . One-way to find a woman out ie to call when she isn't in. Amateur gamblers.soon reduce the art of losing to a science. Man wants but little here below— with a little water on the aide. Neither force nor skill can turn the current of a woman's will. A woman really thinks she means what she says—while she is saying it. When a man bets with a woman he always loses whether he wins or not. The summer girl was probably born with an ice cream spoon in her mouth. Any young man who can save up money during his engagement can afford to marry. Rather than prolong the argument, a wise man will admit that a woman is in the right. When a $2,000 fire insnrance policy rabsagainst a $1,000 house it is apt to start a conflagration. There are two kinds of girls: ono leads a man heavenward, and the other steers him up against a soda fountain. People who blame others are apt to praise themselves. The work of a pickpocket is done in a momerft'of abstraction. A fussy person quickly sours the milk of human kindness. A spinster hasn't mach love for a woman who has had two husbands. It isn't always safe to tell a girl that yon admire her blooming cheek. If a woman admits that she snores you can sately'beliove anything she says.

The little brown balls popularly known as "oak apples," which may of- ten be seen growing in clusters upon oak twigs, are not fruit, as some sup- pose, but forms of a disease which re- sults from the attacks of, a minute gallfy (unties). This little insect, a distant cousin of wasps and bees, is provided with a complicated piercing ovipositor in her tail, by means of which site makes little holes in the tender shoots of the oak, laying an egg in each, and at the salve time introduc- ing a drop of irritant fluid. The substance of the shoot is thus stimulated to unnatural; growth and produces an oak apple or "gall," which may be regarded as a sort of vegetable tumor and serves us a home for the grub which hatches out of the egg. This can. easily be seen by cutting open ayoung grail, but in an old one the insect has escaped by driving at tunnel to the outside. The oak is infested by many other kihds of gall. Some are tufted, oth- ers look like currants, and others again are the little brown "oak spangles" seen on the undersides of the leaves. Each kind of galley leads to the pro- duction of n different kind of gall.— Loudon all—Loudon Answers. BOWER BUILDERS. Birds That Construct Gardens For Their Own Enjoyment. There are five different bower birds— three 1n Australia, the regent, the satin and the spotted; one in the Papuan is- lands, the catbird. and one in New Guinea. Their brilliant plumage 1s golden yellow, glossy black or spotted brown, often with a rose tinted collar. Their boners :u•e in no sense nests, but miniature gardens. adapted for en- joyment and courtship and set In the eye of the sun, A pavement ment of equal sized''pebbles is nr ranged, and number- less twigs are thrust firmly between then in two parallel rows, inclined to each other, inclosing au avenue about a yard long and several inches wide. To decorate this arbor gay feathers, ruddy berries, pearly shells, bleached bones, even watches, knives and other glittering objects, are tastefully placed in and around the entrance. The New Guinea bird, still more of a gardener, constructs a miniature conical summer house, with internal gallery..
