thought of the writer who states in
the biography of Mrs. Isabella Bird
Bishop, this fact : "Japan has leapt
from rung to rung of the ladder of
national greatness, and promises to
to as leaven to the whole East,
reasing, vitalizing, developing what
has lain in the valley of dry bones
for many centuries?" It could not
be expected, says the writer, that
the discussion of so contentious a
measure as the Education bill now
agitating the British Government
would proceed very fur without pro-
voking our more picturesque rhet-
oricians to the exercise of their gift
for mixed metaphor. He goes on to
give some examples: -
HERE'S A DANDY.
"A few days ago, if we may be-
lieve the Manchester Guardian, Bis-
hop Knox explained at a meeting at
Halesowen 'that Mr. McKenna's
sword was an overloaded pistol
which, being hung up in a tight cor-
ner lest it should burst, pretended
to be dead until it got up, ancf trot-
ted home on the friendly back of the
Bishop of St. Asaph.' Perhaps the
reporter has somewhat condensed
the Bishop's oratory, but in any
case, as The Guardian remarks, the
grimness of political strife is re-
lieved by such pleasant pictures as
this, which 'combine in one canvas
all that is best in the study of still
life, of the subtlety of the animal
world, and the beauty of human
helpfulness.'
"But it is in political debate,
especially in the House of Commons,
that the mixed metaphor flourishes
most luxuriantly. 'The flood -gate of
irreligion and intemperance aro
stalking arm in arm throughout the
land."'This bill effects such a
change that the last leap in the dark
was a mere flea -bite.' 'I can not,
indorse the fantom that the honor-
able member has evoked.' 'That
is the marrow of the Education Act,
and it will not be taken out by Dr.
Clifford or anybody else. It is
founded on a granite foundation,
and speaks in a voice not to be
drowned in sectarian clamor.' For
all these charming combinations of
ideas we have to thank members of
the Lower House. Even politicians

THE CROPS OF ONTARIO
The Official Statistics Show Increases in
Oats and Wheat.
The following statistics of the
principal field crops of Ontario for
1908 show the acreage, as comput-
ed from individual returns made by
farmers to the Ontario Bureau of
Industries, and the yield as estimat-
ed by a large and experienced
staff of correspondents, embracing
every township. The wheat area is
practically the same as that of
1907, but the yield is estimated at
nearly a million bushels in excess of
the final returns of last year. The
area in barley shows a shrinkage of
about 5 per cent., and is over a
million bushels snort of the crop
of 1907.
Tho poor crop of oats in 1907
caused a falling off in the area of
1908 of over 5 per cent., or 159,000
acres; the yield, however, shows an
estimated increase of about 150,-
000,000 bushels, tho yield per acro
being 7 bushels in excess of 1907,
and equal to the average of the
previous 26 years. The areas in
rye and peas show substantial in-
creases, but they are still below
the annual averages. Tho bean
crop differs but little from that of
1907. There is a slight reduction
in the hay area, but the yield har-
vested a quarter of a ton to the
acre over the light crop of last year.
The following are the figures for
1909, in comparison with 1907, and
