At 2 o'clock while the wedding march was being played by Miss Edna Wolper, of Grand Bend, the bride and groom entered the tastily decorated parlor, where they were met by the Rev. Mr. Sutcliffe, of Grand Bend, who said the mystic words which made them man and wife. -The bride was becomingly attired in white organdie and carried a beautiful bridal bouquet. After congratulations were over and certificates witnessed, delivered etc., the company repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous repast was served and to which all did ample jus- tice. In the evening a number of the young.people gathered and a most pleasant time was spent in social chat, interspersed with games, music and song. The tokens of remembrance given by their many friends were suit- ably chosen and were much appreciat- ed by Mr. and Mrs. McGregor, not for their value hut for the hest wishes that accompanied them. After a short honeymoon trip to Elgin County they will take up their residence in Detroit where Mr. McGregor is employed as conductoa on a street car line. To the happy couple we extend our heartiest congratulations. i i?azI 1 On Wednesday evening, the Mem- hers liens and adherents. of Jubilee Metho- dist Church to the nnrnber of over one Modred gathered in the school room of the eburcl) after the regular prayer meeting and said goodbye to some of the esteemed members of the congre- gation in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. S, L'.

The present season has been a disap- pointing ode to the great majority iof the growers of corn in Ontario. The characteristic lack of care in selecting and testing seed has this year, more clearly than ever, proved the truth of the old adage that "experience is a dear teacher". We have had no more glaring example of misapplication of energy and waste of labour than in this eonnectien, This condition o! things is doubly injurious: first, it causes disappointment in expected re- sults, and secondly, it discourages further efforts. The task of the farm- er is arduous enough even when he works in conjunction with nature. How much more difficult must it therefore be when her co-operation is not forthcoming. On the other hand we find corn grow- ers in this province who have this year, and who always have, good crops of corn. These men have learned to discriminate between the good aud the bad and to sow only the best seed. The method of producing this seed is very simple, yet withal so scientific.

Che.s and a /Battleship. Admiral Charles E. Clark, who took lino battleship Oregon around Cape Horn and intoaction at Santiago, owed kis appointment as commander of that boat to his skill as a chess player. Captain Clark was at San Francisco in command et the gunboat Bennington. When ashore he spent touch time in the chess room of the Mechanics' library, where he met some of the best players in the city. When the time came to appoint a man to eommand the Oregon, a friend of Clark's in the navy department at Washington int his name forward. "You should see that man play chess," said he and went on to describe his in- tense application and determination, adding, "And that's why I think he Can bring the battleship around safely if any ,one can." Three hours later Clark received orders to assume com- mand of the Oregon and take her at once to Cuban waters.—Argonaut. The Nimble Parasrapb. It is a most extraordinary thing that some of our most successful novelists cannot turn out a newspaper para- graph to save their lives. In most novels there is some page or other on a supposititious clipping from a news- paper bearing upon the events under narration, and in ninety cases out of a hundred the matter that makes up the "clipping" is most unreal. The truth of the matter is that all the training in the world will not enable a man to write in this manner unless he has been through the mill and had all the nonsense deleted by the remorseless subeditor. Our novelists do not have their manuscript hacked and chopped about by this skillful executioner, and their pseudo newspaper clippings are models of what the real thing is not.— Journalist. and wewould refer those who desire to take up systematic work in the ifn_ provement of seed corn to the Caned ia.n Seed Grower's Association. Ottawa. In the Northern parts of the prov- ince, where so-called silage corn is grown, the seed is secured in most cases through the medium of the seed merchant. A grower will order a cer- tain quantity of seed, asking to be supplied with nothing but the best; he receives the seed and in the great majority of cases sows it withont testing its vitality. and if it fails to grow lays the whole blame on the seedsman. The farmer should test his seed for himself and if it be good give the seedsman his due; if on the other hand it be bad let him dispose of it as best he can. A failing that many growers have is to delay secur- ing their seed until too little time is left to obtain an adequate knowledge of its real value. Hence the send is sown in a bap -hazard manner and the results anxiously awaited. We would therefore strongly urge the corn growers of this country to see to it NOW that well matured ears of a desirable type and the product of a variety noted for successive large yields he secured for next year's seed. These should be suspended in a dry place until a couple of weeks before sowing time, when ' a few kernels from each ear should he tested to as- certain the all-important percentage of vitality of the seed in general. The time of the year is now at hand, there- fore when those who grow their oNn seed, or aim to supply others, should do their utmost to secure the best pos- sible seed ears, and then store those selected ears in such a manner that their Vitality will be in tro Way im- paired. The Turnpike Era. Between the years 1790 and 1840 in- numerable plans were made for the creation of turnpikes in the United States. There had been one great suc- cess, the Lancashire turnpike in Penn- sylvania, and then came countless oth- er projects. In 1811 New York had 137 chartered roads, with a total length of 4,500 miles, and the sum required to build them amounted to $7,500,000. An era of canal digging and then of rail- road building followed this period, but the canal promoters and railroad men had great difficulty in advancing their schemes. They were considered insane when they insisted that the mountains and plains could be conquered by these means of transportation. Natures Beauties. Character is fed largely through the eye and ear. The thousand voices in nature, of bird and insect and brook, the soughing of the wind through the trees, the scent of flower and meadow, the myriad tints in earth and sky, in ocean and forest, mountain and hill, are just as important for the develop- ment of a real man as the education he receives in the schools. If you take no beauty into your life through the - eye or the ear your nature will be hard, juiceless, unattractive.—Success. The Horsefly.
