B.ELLIOTT, PV 3tase RAND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, JAN, 26, 1905. NOTES AND COMMENTS, The writs for Carleton County and Wright were issued on Saturday, the nomination on February 4th. Mr. Bor- den will be returned in Carleton by acclamation, and it is not likely there will be a contest in Wright. The Ontario Department of Agricul- ture is collecting statistics from the numerous societies which receive grants in order to apportion their share in the grants which. are being tabulated in view of the early necessity of preparing the estimates for the next fiscal year. As the TxnIEs goes to press this week the ballots cast in the Provincial elec- tion are being counted. The contest has been a very keen one in many of the ridings and before this issue reaohes our readers it will be known which party will have the reins of powor in Ontario for the next four years. Owing to au extra rush of job work, the TIMES is unable to hold this issue to give the result of the voting. THE CLOVER SEED CROP FOR 1904. It is difficult in any year to :Make a close estimate of the supply of Alsike and Red Clover seed until the season for threshing is well advanced. As a part of their work the instructors in send growing, who are employed by the Seed Branch of the Department of Agricul- ture at Ottawa, collect information and make observations regarding the' oon- ditioge of this as a ell as other Drops during the growing season. From the best available information at this time, it would seem clear that the total output of Red Clover seed pro- duced in the Province of Ontario will prove to be rather less than % of an average crop. The severe winter of 1903.4, combined with prolonged dronth in many of the districts where clover seed is most extensively grown, was ex- ceedingly unfavorable to the clover crop of 1904. In consequence, the area left for the purpose of seed production was considerably less than in former years. The clover seed midge was also much in evidence in nearly all of the districts in Ontario. The Alsike prop fared even worse than the Red Clover. Not only is the avail- able supply of home-grown seed limited, but the quality of the seed produced this year is, on the whole, inferior. The growing of high-class clover seed in the Proviuce of Ontario has proved to be amply remunerative in the average of years, and has, to a considerable ex- tent, taken the place of the production for sale of cereal grains. The extent to which clover seed is grown in Ontario can be better appreciated when it is mentioned that the Toronto seedemen are said to control the world's prices for Alsike seed. There are many districts in the other provinces, particularly in the Province of Quebec, where the production of Red Clover and Alsike seed could be taken up to good advantage, More than two tons of really good Red Clover seed has, within the last month, been threshed near Shawville,in the County of Pontiac, by the use of an ordinary grain thresher.

Mrs. James Purvis, of Redvers station, Manitoba, is renewing old friendships in this township. She is a daughter of Mr, Cunningham, 7th line, A former Morrisite, in the person of Adam Forbes of Rathwell, Manitoba is. renewing old friendships in this locality.. He is a welcome visitor. It is over 20 years since the family moved to the West. Mr. John McMillan, jr„ who spent the past five years in the Yukon, is at present visiting at the home of his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. John McMillan, of this township, Mr. McMillan enjoyed good health while in the gold fields country until a few months ago, when he was afflicted with a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, from which he has suffered ever aiuoe. The usual entertainment in connection with the election of officers of Morris Grange, No. 348, was held on Friday evening, the 20th at "Burnside," the home of County Councillor William Isbister. The evening was beautiful and the members and their friends to the number of about 35 met and spent the evening most pleasantly. The first thing to do was to repair to the dinning room where oysters and all good things were spread in profusion after which the business meeting was held, the ladies and visitors in the meantime entertaining each other in social chat, and listening to the many selections beautifully rend- ered by Miss Hazel Brandon ou the piano. The retiring Master, Bro. Wm. Wray was reelected; the effocient secy., Bro. Isbister was re-elected also. The Grange is in a flourishing condition financially, and on account of the social side of the institution and having funds invested satisfactorily it is likely to be continued. Many familiar faces were missed at the gathering, notably the late Messrs. Galley, Salter, J. H. Brandon and Warwick. After the business meeting was concluded H. Johnston was voted to the chair and a good programme was rendered, consisting of piano selections by Miss Hazel Brandon; violin and piano duets by Mr. J. Miller, Mr, Chas Garnews and Mrs, J. Miller, speeches and stories by Wm. Wray, Robt. Currie, Wm. Elston and Wm. Isbister. Every one spent a most enjoyable evening. Mr. Isbister, his good wife and estimable family doing all in their power to add to the pleasure of all present. The speeches and stories were overflowing with wit and humur and good advice. The music was very mach appreciated. On motion of T. S. Brandon, seconded by Wm. Wray, a vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Isbister and his good wife for their kindness. In reply to the motion, which was unanimously carried, Bro. Isbister spoke of the great pleasure it gave him and his wife to have the meeting at their home and hoped the Grange would be continued and hoped we would have many more just such evenings. Then all joined hands and sang Auld Lang Syne and left for home, wishing hip s g suck evenings would occur oftener. ground and costing about $14,000,000 Then we hurried off to her home, where we found,a good hot breakfast awaiting ue and to which we did ample justice, you may be sure. So this was Boston; what a wondeifal place it always seemed to me, when, a a child I rend of the wonderful daring 1 f the colonists who threw the taxed tea into the sea, so the first place we went was to Dorchester Heights, overlookir g the Harbor, and where a mouunir+nt stands recording the retreat of the Brt tish fleet with 11,000 men before the can • nonade of a handful of Americaus from the Heights, In the face of a biting wind we made our way to the harbor and were amply repaid for onr walk. On Sunday we went, to "Phillips Brook" church, a quaint old building built in shape of a Latin cross. I believe the de- corative work was done by John Le Fargo. Unfortunately we did not ap- • preoiate the sermon, you can hear a bet- ter one in Wingham any day. The Pub lie Library stands across the square from this church, and is a magnificent piece of arohiteoture and will be a lasting fes- , timonial to thehigh esteem in yr hash education is held by the Bostonians The cost of building alone is estimated at about $2,500,000. Overlooking Bos- ton Common stands the State House, on Beacon st., founded, I believe, 10 1795 • The outside of the building gives you no idea of the beauty of the inside. In the main hall are the paintings of Paul Re- vere on his wild ride, of James Otis pre- senting the views of the colonists to the English judges, and of the "Boston Tea- Party"—the raiding of the British ves- sels and the throwing of the tea into the sea. We climbed right to cupola too, but the atmosphere was hazy so our view was not very good. Of course there are ninny, many other buildings of interest of which I can not now give an account, and many which I did not see. I would have liked to have seen Banker Hill monumeut, bat had not time. The street oar system of Bos- ton is fine, far ahead of Philadelphia but the streets are so crooked that it is very difficult for strangers to find their way about town, 1 went up, as you know, to see if I would have any chance of obtain- ing an appointment iu the New England Hospital for Women and Children. The position is much sought after and the New England girls generally get the pre- ference, so if I do not get it. I shall not be much disappointed, but I believe in trying anyway. It is a splendidly egnip- ped building andehas a file situation, while the experience obtained cannot be equalled in any other institution of its kind throughout Canada or the United States, I interviewed several of the chiefs, one of whom remarked that I looked strong and healthy, and I said "Yes, my forefathers had looked well after that." That seemed to please her immensely for she actually said she hoped to see me later. However, secur- ing an appointment iu a Hospital is just about as uncertain as the Reform vote in Huron at the recent elections, you may "fill the bill" in every respect, could not be better filled, and yet not get the appointment. I returned to Philadelphia Saturday, 31st Dec., and am getting down to work for we have three mid -year exams. in January, Dermatology, Ophthalmoingy and Hygiene. The weather is- perfectly beautiful, mild and balmy as a day in May. Kind- est regards to all of the home people and wishing you a very Happy New Year, I am, yours lovingly, MARY R FI\DLATER. Philadelphia, Jan. 2nd, 1905. Letter From Philadelphia. The following interesting letter is from the pen of Miss Mary Findlater, daughter of Mr. Wm. Findlater, 2nd line of Morris. Miss Findlater is now taking her last year's course at a Medical College in Philadelphia: -- DEAR HOME FoL t:—A Happy New Year to all of you and many of them. I promised you an account of my first trip to Boston so shall begin at once. I left Philadelphia on Friday and on reach- ing New York I took "Fall Rivet" steamer to Fall River, and thence by rail to historic Boston. We left New York at 5 p, m., Friday, and steamed slowly up the Sound, leaving a broad white sheet of seething foam in our wake It was beautiful indeed to see the lights of the city, gleaming like millions of stars, and I stood outside and watched them grow less and less brilliant and at last fade away into diffuse light. The New Brooklyn Bridge was a sight to be- hold, the cars continuously made it sparkle and glitter all along it's entire length. The wind was blowing raw and cold, so I was soon glad to go inside where everything was comfortable. The place was crowded, staterooms be- ing engaged long before the vessel sailed, so we had to content ourselves with pot ting in the night on couches and chairs. One little lad amused me during the night by getting up and walking about remarking to the sleepless ones: --"I'm glad I'm standing up, it's nicer than ly- ing down. Wiah't I could see the boat go." We arrived at Fall River about 5.30 a. m., and there was a general scramble for'the first Boston train. Two boys sat behind me and one kept remark- ing, as we drew near different towns, "I wonder what place this is!" "Don't know," said the other shortly. Again at the next station the same remark was repeated and ghis friend tend said rnfll rrP don't againgrainy I know and I don't care." A third time the question came np, and the other lad said, "I don't know and I don't care, I don't want to see a place till I get to Boston—that is God's own town." "You evidently don't like Baltimore," said his friend. "Baltimore after living in Boston ! Humph! 1" When "Back Bay" station was reached he seized his suitcase and was off the oar before it had stopped. _ "Nome for Xmas I guess" an old lady said and the car Smiled agree- ingly. It was about 7.20 when we drew into S. Boston station and I some saw the tall slim figure Of my friend, Dr, Laws, on the platform looking eagerly about. We made the rounds 01 the Station, an immense building covering 13 acres of QUEER SUPERSTITIONS. Some Medicines, Cures and Omens of Former Generations. A sure cure for the ague, according to an old time specific, was to rub a live spider in butter and then eat it. The late Vincent Stuckey Lane, who died in England after spending much of his life in the collection of folk Iore, gives many other instances of the med- icines of former generations. To rub a dried mole to powder and to swallow as much of it as would lie on a shilling for nine days in succession was anoth- er cure for ague. A hare's foot carried on the person prevented colic, eels ap- plied to the ears were a specific against deafness, and epilepsy yielded to a gentle treatment of toadstools gathered just as they were forcing their way through the ground and swallowed in claret at midnight. There were many ways of curing fits, but the simplest plan was to go into a church at mid- night and walk three times round the communion table. A snake's skin worn round the temples was good for the headache, but if that failed the sufferer might try moss grown on a human skull, then powdered and taken as snuff. Whooping cough could never be caught by a child who had, ridden a bear, but if ho bear was handy the child might be soundly thrashed or drawn backward through a bramble bush. The subject of signs and omens fills a number of pages of Mr. Lane's five volumes. Under the heading "Good and I11 Luck In Marriage" he shows on how trifling a matter the marital happiness or unhappiness of our ances- tors could turn. It was unlucky, for example, to receive a present of doves, to marry on the anniversary of birth, to tread on the tail of a cat, to put on one's stockings wrong side out or to try the wedding ring on before mar- riage. On the wedding day the happy cou- ple bad to redouble their vigilance, as a horse looking at them through a gateway, a pig running across their path on the way to church, a dog run- ning between them or the clock strik- ing during the ceremony might wreck their happiness. For the bride to look in the glass after she was attired in her wedding finery was sure to bring 111 luck. On the other hand, it was lucky to be followed by a strange dog when going courting, to be touched by the wing of a bat or for the bride to hear a cat sneeze on the eye of her wedding Mr. David M. Walker, I roprietor of the Walker House at Toronto, ainoe 1874 died in California. THE COLOR O1= SNOW. Although It ?Appears White, It IM Iteully a Delicate Blue. Science, while it gets at the marrow and essence of things, upsets many pretty delusions and fancies. We have been taught from childhood that snow is white, and the impression coneeyed to our brains through the medium of sight appears to settle the question be- yond the possibility of a doubt, yet, though tho judgment of our senses is u to the contrary, it can be scientifically demonstrated that its true color Is blue, It is a faint and delicate cerulean tint, to be sure, but decided enough to make the scientific declaration that scow Is blue one that is positive and irrefuta- ble. It is a well known fact that pure wa- ter in small quantities is perfectly transparent. Iet large masses it is dis- tinctly blue. Snow is simply the crys- tals of pure water. The reflection from I these is that of all the colors of the rainbow or prism, but by uniting be- fore they reach the eye cause snow to appear to be white. "But," you will say, "the single crystal also appears to be white," This is true beyond ques- tion, the reason being that that which appears to be a single crystal is in reality a multitude of microscopic threads, prisms, lines and dots. • In spite of their apparent great di- versity in form and shape, which may vary from hairlike crystals to perfect stars of beautiful, delicate and intri- cate designs, they may be said to be absolutely uniform in original delinea- tion, that of the hexagonal prism. The primitive form is that of a straight needle of ice, radiating from a central, nucleus, always at symmetrical dis- tances and at angles of either GO or 120 degrees. Wbat may on casual exami- nation be taken for exceptions to this rule are the Little disks which occasion- ally fall. These on close examination proved to be six sided planes, the angle still being 120 degrees. POLITE TO THE LAST. A Maid In 'Whom Courtesy Was a Ruling Passion. The Ellen in Samuel Leman Blanch- ard's excellent but now forgotten book, "Sketches From Life," had probably never heard of Emerson's saying, "There is always time enough for cour- tesy," but she embodied the great sage's principle in her daily intercourse with her fellow beings. Politeness was a ruling passion with her. To the fish- erman's boy she would answer, "Yes, sir; soles, sir, if it is quite convenient." Mr. Blanchard lodged with Ellen's mis- tress, and one day the manservant of a friend brought a parcel of books. The man delivered the books into El- len's hands; then, remembering he was intrusted with a letter also, he search- ed his pockets in vain for the missive. Ellen, waiting in the hall, was greatly distressed. "Oh, pray, sir, du not trouble your- self!" "Trouble myself!" exclaimed the serv- ant. "If I have a letter to deliver I've got to deliver it." And he continued his search. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting," broke out the apologetic Ellen. 'Why, it is I who am keeping you waiting," returned the puzzled servant. "What are you talking about? Well, I can't find the letter." "Oh, sir," entreated the maid, "never mind! I dare say it doesn't signify. Another time will do quite as well." Mr. Blanchard's landlady was taken sick, and every day the lodger's in- quiries were answered by the faithful Ellen in somewhat this wise: "My missis' compliments, sir, and she had a very indifferent night," or, "My missis' compliments, sir, and she feels very weak today." One sad day when Ellen appeared with the breakfast her eyes were red and her lips quivered. In response to the usual question she sobbed out: "My missis' compliments, sir, and she died this morning about 8 o'clock." —Youth's Compapion. The Russian Samovar. Every Russian peasant who is pros- perous enough to enjoy the luxury of ten bas his samovar. At all inns each visitor is supplied with one. It in- variably accompanies the traveler and the picnicker, and even the officers starting out upon a campaign find room for a small one in their baggage. Samovar signifies "self boiler." It is made of brass, lined with tin and with a tube in the center, in which the hot binders of charcoal are placed after having been ignited. Often a pipe con- nects it with the chimney, and two friends will sit for hours drinking the boiling bot weak tea, Think Straight. It would be impossible for a lawyer to snake a reputation in his profession while continually thinking about Medi- cine or engineering. He must think about law and must study and become thoroughly imbued with its principles.

Southworth, Director of Coloni- zation, said yesterday that during the past year 673 settlers from the United States came into Ontario through Win- nipeg. He considered this significant of the attention which newer Ontario par- ticularly was beginning to attract across the border, as any movement from the States to Winnipeg was usually of set- tlers intending to remain in Manitoba. Two hundred and twenty settlers came from the United States to Ontario through Montreal during 1904, and the total of overseas immigrauts was 24,965 In addition a number of Americans came in via Niagara Falls, Detroit, Brockville and Kingston. =tie Stook Markets. Toronto, Jan, 24—Trade was again slow in the cattle section of the western yards this morning, and as a result of the day's operations prices for all grades are off about 10c per cwt, when com- pared with the level prevailing on Fri- day last. Hogs are on the other hand 20o per owt higher, and lambs show an advance of 5c per cwt. The receipts were 74 loads, consisting of 1,130 cattle, 1,354 sheep and lambs, 640 hogs and 75 calves. Butchers' cattle—There was a very poor attendance of buyers, and the de- mandresult was unusually to slow, the e ra n being a decline in prices of all grades. Sales were reported at $4,40 per cwt for picked cattle, but there were very few sales at that figure. Corbett & Hender- son received $4.25 for a load, and this was about the bust figure obtainable for straight loads. Export cattle—The demand for ship ping cattle was fairle brisk, and Craw- ford & Hunnisett reported a fair volume of business in this lino. Prioes, how- ever, were lower on account of the easier feeling in the English market. About $4.90 was the highest price of the day.
