in its palmy days, Mr. Shantz met a
German farmer who was so heavily
mortgaged that he would have been
only too glad to have sold his forty
acre lot, at $2a per acre, beat as be
couldn't, get out he went into beet
raising, starting with one and a half
acres. Today he is fres from debt and
bas refused $70 an acre for his land.
.He lives ten miles from a factory.
While Mr. Shantz was at one of the
Bay City factories there was anaver-
age of seventy five teams in the yard
and he was told that in ane day there
had been to delivery of 398 loads, and
that the average crop last season was
fifteen tons to the acre.
Mr, Shantz estimates that the beets
cost $25 per acre laid :dowu at the
factory, divided thus ; preparing and
cultivating land, $13 ; harvesting and
delivering, $10 ; seed 32. Rent, for
those who are so situated, must also
be taken into consideration,
It is estimated that it would re-
quire ten factories to supply the sugar
wants of this province. Why cannot
Exeter have one of them ? To keep a
factory in operation 4.000 acres of
beets are asked for, but while there
are factories with as much greater
capacity than this there are others
smaller.

a ewspaper correspondents who were

m markable letters to their papers here
a bighlv appreciative of Canada. But
, they do not .like the glimpse that they
got of the 'United Stated.
Thus the Horning Post's correspond-
• ent writes :--"Borne of us crossed to
- Buffalo to see the Exhibition, which
o was disappointing. Buffalo is a sloven -
e , lylooking, if prosperous city, in great
y contrast with the handsome Canadian
cities we had recently visited,"
ek 'nail the correspondents noted the
s; extraordinary difference in the aspect

h across the border. sV a appeared to
d have suddenly got out of a. region of
e wholesome, fresh -complexioned people
✓ into the land of a meagre, pallid race,
like one sees in some of our mauufac-
taring cities—and active brisk people,
lacking the courteous manner of the
o comedians. To some of the young
n French-Canadians of our party this
was their first experience in the United
States, and they recrossed the frontier
more downright in their expressions of
loyalty to Great Britain than they had
ever been before. There were many
things which did not please them in
Buffalo, which, it must be admitted,
- is not a fair specimen of
p an American
city. But what completely disgusted
them was the tone of a section of the
Buffalo press, which selected the oc-
casion to insult our royal family and
sneer aathe loyalty displayed by the
Canadian people."

The decision of the directors t
close the Pan-American Exposition o
the night of b.ovember 2, enables the
accountants to make a fairly accurate
estimate of the loss which the Pan-
American will suffer.. It will exceed
$4,000,000. The stock -holders will re-
ceive back nothing for the $2,500,000
which they put in. Contractors who
built the Exposition will lose 31,000,
000, and the issue of $500,000 second
mortgage bonds will be defaulted as
well as 20 per cent. of the first mort-
gage bonds.

The King's Birthday, falling on Nov.
9, comes so close to Thanksgiving Day,.
and follows so close upon the Royal
reception, that it might be well to ob-
serve the day as they will do in Eng-
land—that is make the evening the
popular banquet night. The day
could be sufficiently marked by the
]folding of banquets and concerns
without imposing upon business
another interruption where so many
are already in sight. Dominion Day, 1M
Civic Holiday, Labor Day, cg's
Birthday, Thanksgiving day, Christ-
mas and New Year's Days—rather too
many festivals in a row. Nov. 9
comes at the wrong season of the year
to ever be generally rejoiced in as a
holiday, as is the case with the 24th
of May. Let it therefore be made
what it can be made the favorite ban-
quet night of the country. This the
people could cheerfully make it.

When Sir. Oliver Mowat entertain-

Toronto the other day Moose fignzed
on the bill of fare. The aforesaid
moose was killed out of season and
the consumption was illegal. A bet-
ter example was to be expected. from
the author of "Evidences of Chris-
tianity," second edition." To this the
globe says:—The matter is hardly
worth remarking upon, hat the facts
are not as stated. The venison did
not appear illegally on the bill of fare.
The moose was shot illegally by -some
sportsman, and was in consequence
seized and confiscated by a game war-

WORTH WAITING FOR,
When one wants a picture of the
King and Queen to frame and bang up
in his.house, he is going to have the
best portraits obtainable, and when he
knows that the best is to be had as
cheap and in some cases cheaper than
an inferior one. he would feel that be
hadbetter have no portrait at all than
be persuaded into taking the inferior
article, instead of the best, which is
really the only one worth haying. -
This is the position of affairs regard-
ing the portraits of King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, presented this sea-
son to readers of the Family Herald
and Weekly Star. No one who sees
them will doubt for a minute their
superiority. They are valuable be-
cause faithful in every detail, and our
advice to our readers is to get the
!family Herald's pictnre of the King
and Queen. The family Herald also
includes a -third picture, the renowned
Duchess of Devonshire, a perfect gem,
and easily worth the entire price asked
for the Family Herald and Weekly
Star, the King and Queen and the
famous Gainsborough picture. The
Family Herald will certainly do a big-
ger business than ever this year.

close on Saturday, Nov. 2nd.
Robb. McMordie of the GrangeFarm
disposed at auction his stock, imple-
ments, etc., on Tuesday. Mr. Moder

Mrs. Thomas Coade, died at Work-
man, Man„ on Oct: 14. Deceased was
bore in Mitchell and lived until 1885
near the brick yard, when she went
west with her family, Two sons and
a husband are left to mourn her loss.
She was 75 years of age.
Mrs. Beattie, of Varna, can justly
lay claimto being a pioneer of the
coupty, having resided in it contin-
uously since the year 1842, and all
that time having been spent almost in
the same locality. When she first
knew Clinton it had only aalog hotel
and blacksmith shop. Though her
form is feeble and her hair silvered,
she has the use of all her faculties, and
we trust she may long enjoy the dis-
tinction of being one—of the county's
most highly esteemed early pioneers.
Tbe highest priced fruit grown in
the county, quite likely in the prov-
ince, was obtained from the orchard of
W. 11. Lobb, of Goderich Township.
The entire output amounted to one
hundred bags of call apples, 'thirteen
barrels of prime .stock and two barre's
of pears for which Mr. Lobb receyed
threehundred dollars. The purchaser
was a dealer from the north who, not

The Toile In the Roel:.
Of late days. I have noticed con-
siderable number of reputed cases of
the occurrence of live frogs and
toads in what were alleged to be
solid rocks, says a. writer in The
London Chronicle, • This Is, of
course, en old, olcl story that ap-
pears to possess perennial powers
(like the toad) of revivification. 1
had thought that Bean d3uckland
,(father of the genial Frank) had ex-
pleded the toad in the rock myth
onto tar all, Tlio dean inclosed
toads and frogs in cells cut in blocks
of stone, and buried thein three feet
deep in his garden. Here the Goa-
"clition were even less rigorous than
thoseunder which the amphibians
are reported to survive for ages in
the "solid rock." Dean Bucklaud's
toads were nearly all dead by the
end of the first year of entombment,
and none survived the second year.
1 !cavo Bear stories of live toads be-
ing found in rocks of an age, geo-
logically regarded, older than those'
:which contain the oldest fossil reem-
hers of the class. But this "reductio
ad absurdum" does not seem to con-
vince
e public ubfc of the ho imposs bf! •
llty
of even a cold blooded animal, and
one possessed of exceptional powers
of endurance, lasting without food
and air for untold aeons. x -believe
Where careful research is made the
facts show that a juvenile toad may
slip into a crevice in a rock, may
grow and may feed on chance insects
that come in its way. The rock is
split asunder, it, is supposed to have
been solid, the toad hops out, and
voila tout.

"Bridge" is thce latest and most
popular game of. Curtis, especially in
society, says Ti,:. Penny µillustrated.
It is similar to whist, only more
complicated, elaborate scoring being
necessary. But it reams that two
games can be played at the same
time by young people fas-
cinated with bridge. After
the cards are dealt, as in
whist, the dealer, instead of turning
up the last card for trumps, chooses
trumps from his own hand; or can, if
lie prefers,, have eo trumps at all, or,
failing in this can pass the option to
his partner. Afterwards their adver-
saries may double,' and, if the dealer
and his partner wish, they may re-
double, and this redoubling may be
carried on indefinitely, though the
rules advisedly suggest a hundred
points should be the limit; so that
Bridge offers great opportunities for
very high play, and hence has the
reputation of being a gambling game,
and lends color to a remark in "The
Awakening," at the St. James'd
Theatre—that is: "My great amble
tion in life is to teach a millionaire
to play Bridge." When play is corn-
menced, the dealer's partner lays his
or her cards on the table and be-
comes "Diunmy," the dealer playing
both hands and the "Dummy" laying
down the cards the dealer directs.

He was a wan of G0, and, surrounded
by a crowd at the Ninth avenue en-
trance of Prospect park, he proceeded
to explain his fall and his 'broken bike
by saying:
"It was all nay own 'doings. When 1

The Early Shrubs.
The season of hardy shrubs begins
almost before the snow Is cif .the
ground and some time before the leaves
put in an appearance with the for-
sythia, with its bell shaped flowers of
clear yellow, whieb are in strong con-
trast with the green branches. This is
followed closely by the flowering alm-
ond and its near relative, the flowering
plum, and then, as the season fairly
opens, comes a profusion of desirable
plants, all eager to show their beauties.
What Others Ser.
The demand for ornamental nursery
tock is increasing.
There is considerable inquiry for
