The main part of evidence corroborated that given at the coroners inquest. pr. Bence Smith, inspector of prisons, told of the confession which he declared Edward Jardine on trial for murder made to himself and Dr. A. 3. Johnston, of Toronto. "We warned him not to talk of the crime," said the doctor, but in spite of this he declared "I did it.' "I went to fair grounds," he said "and saw Lizzie Anderson and gave her money to get a lunch, She told me that the Italian had been free with her, and I made proposals to her, She agreed, and I told her to wait around till folks were gone. We went off down towards the other end of the fair grounds and got through a hole in the fence and walked along the fair grounds fence to a vacanhusehatt o t I knew about. Wo went in and sat down by the side of a grape vine. I said to her, "we will go down here' (into the cellar,) She started down first. Just after she started down the steps she fell and struck her head and said, 'My God, Oh I'm hurt.' I came right down after her, Instantly the devil got possession of me and I put my hand into my hip pocket and drew out a brown or black handled. knife. I put it•into her throat once, and then I put it in again and drew it all the way across. I don't know just what happened, but I went to work and cut all her clothes off. 'I don't know what happened, really. The devil got possession of me. He repeated that three or four times. Jardine said he got no blood on his clothes, but got some on his hands and knife which he washed off at hone. He did not know anything about the wound on the girl's head. He afterwards said it took a great weight off his mind and that he had prayed daily to God to. forgive him. "For what ?" was asked and he replied: "For this crime I com- mited." Dr. Smith believes Jardine to be a sexual pervert, but respon- sible. The ease went to the jury at noon on Friday. At 1.15 they returned with a verdict of "Guilty." Jardine was then ordered to stand up. When asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed, he replied : "No," Chief Justice Falconbridge iri sen• tenting the prisoner, declared that there was not the slightest hope that the sentence would be commuted, "I would recommend you to spend the remaining days left you on earth in preparation for the judgment of the world to conte.” •is ( for the execution June I0 h fixe 1 fc L t i x day.

How To Tell If Your Hair Is Diseased. Even if you have a luxuriant head of hair ycu may wantto know 'whether it is in a healthy condition or not. 08% of the people need a hair tonic. Pull a hair out of your head ; if the bulb at the end of the root is white and shrunken, it proves that the hair is diseased, and requires prompt treatment if its lose would be avoided. If the bulb. is pink and full, the hair is healthy. We want everyone whose hair requires treatment to try Rexall "03" Hair Tonic. We promise that it shall 0 not cost anything if it does not give satisfactory results. It is designed to overcome dandruff, relieve scalp irritation, to stimulate the hair roots, tighten the hair already in the head, grow hair and cure baldness. It is because of what Rexall "03" Hair Tonic has done and our sincere faith in its goodness that we want you to try it at our risk.

Roderick Mackenzie, Secretary of the Manitoba Grain Grower's Associa- tion, is considerable of a farmer. He has CO acres, located near Brandon, all in one block. He has 18 horses all told, and 'in summer he works three four -horse teams. He owns 40 head of cattle 16 of them milkers, and butter from his home dairy sells in Brandon at 35c. per Ib. He operates two bind- ers, and of late years his average grain crop, in all lines, has aggregated about 10,000 bushels. His general ro- tation is two of wheat, one each of oats and barley, and then summer fallow. Brussels. The C. P, 11, town agency has been. given to 1I, L. Jackson, jeweller, as successor to T.

A NI ADVANCE REFORMIN 1 THE CALENDAR,. (Toronto Saturday Night.) To England at the moment serious i consideration is being given to the re- ar• ) e I ar alertof the a' It h calendar yeat, da 8, Y proceeding which if generally adopted would not only render our calendar less complex, but would at the same time tend to greatly siznpiify reckon- ings as it pertains to business. The new arrangement as proposed would, for instance, fix our now so-called movable feasts, and days such as Laster and Christmas would fall al- ways on the same date and the same day of the week. The proposal, em- bodied in a bill which will shortly come before the House of Commone, is takenupin consequence c n equence of an in- vitation from the Swiss Government to take part in an international con- ference to determine the advisability of making over our present calendar. The proposals of • the calendar re- formers are that the first clay of the year shall be a bank holiday, called New Year's; Day," which shall not count witha day of the week, of the month, or of the quarter. This leaves for the rest of the year 304 days. This number divides exactly into four equal quarters of ninety-one days each, and into fifty-two weeks of seven days each. Each quarter would thus con- tain exactly thirteen weeks. Accord- ing to the proposed scheme it would be divided into two months of thirty days each and one month of thirty-one days. Starting then with the year 1012, Easter Sunday, and all so-called mov- abl fasts,fe. sts and ti dates dependent upon it, would be fixed so as to fall in every year on the same day of the same month, as well as on the same day of the week. April 14 would then and always be Easter Sunday, and Christmas Day, Dec. 25, would always fall on Monday. Each day of the month alsowould always fall on the same day of the week, To provide for leap year, a bank holiday to be called "Leap Year Day" would in leap year be inserted between June 31 and July 1. As in the case of New Year's Day in the proposed system this would not count as a day of the week, of the month, or of the quarter. As most people are aware our calen- dar was originally borrowed from the Romans, and if those who followed the great Caesar had seen fit to leave it alone, we would to -day have a more simple and more commodious arrangement than now exists. Ac- cording to the calendar as planned by Julius Caesar the first, third, -fifth, seventh and ninth and eleventh months, in other words, every other month should have 31 days, and the 'other months 30 days excepting Feb., which in common years should have 39 and every fourth year 30 days. The vanity of Augustus was such, how- ever, that he must have the month nailed after him with as many days in it as the month named after Julius, so it came about that a day was taken from February and given to August ; and then in order that the three months of 31 days might not come to- gether, September and November were reduced to thirty days, and 31 given to October and December.. Thus a ;nix -up was created which we have failed to straighten out even to this day.

If it is possible to increase the yield of corn from ten to thirty bushels per acre we should all be made aware of that fact in the shortest possible time, for it makes a great difference to the farmer who is on bigb priced land whether be Is growing thirty-five bush- els of corn per acre or sixty, Says 1're fessor 11. A. Moore of the University of Wisconsin, writing in Farm and .Fireside.. A large portion of the advanced yield of corn in Wisconsin has been brought about by using definite select breeds of kiln dried seed that has bigb ener- gy and vitality. Better culture has of course contributed to the result. We o cannot emphasize too much the p Importance of having seed corn grown in close proximity to where it is to be used. It usually takes several years' continual growing before corn becomes thoroughly acclimated to .the surrounding environment of soil and climate, and if a radical change is made the corn will deteriorate. As far as possible every farmer aft- er getting started with highly bred seed should grow and develop his own seed from year to year. fiis first efforts should be toward selecting for an ideal corn plant. Ile should have characteris- tics in his mind those specialacteris- h r tics he desires to perpetuate. Such A Pointer To Housekeepers. Look at the financial side of Zane- Buk's use. A cut sustained in the home, the store, or the workshop, a sore which is unattended, results say, in festering or blood -poisoning. You have to lay off for a day or two. What does that mean when pay day comes round? Zam-Buk insures you against that loss ! A little Zam-Buk applied to such an injury prevents all danger of blood -poisoning, takes out the smarting and heals. Heads of families khow how costly doctoring is. 13e wise and act on the preventive line. A box of Zam-Buk in the home is so all-round useful. The baby's rashes, the older children's cute and bruises, the inevitable burn, cut, or scald—for all these, as well as for Inure serious ailments, such as piles, ulcers, eczema, ringworm etc., Zam-Buk is without a rival. Dangers of shaving—You get a cut at the barber's shop. A little Zam- Buk smeared on the .wound prevents all danger. If any ailment has been contracted, Zam-Buk cures. Mr. Geo. Eiobden, 108 Manitoba street, St, Thomas, Ontario, says :--"I contracted barber's rash, and the whole of my left cheek broke out in one mass of red, watery pimples and. sores, Thet e spread to the other parts of ray fear, until face and neck were covered with running sores.

(Crate on left, row 18, twenty-nine pounds of good seed corn; crate on right, row 11, sixty-two pounds. The two ears from which these rows were planted looked equally good.—Farm and Fireside:I ideal corn plants are to be found in his general field. Their selection 15 the first step in corn breeding. In order to do this well the farmer should go through the field, following definite rows, at a time when the plant will show its general characteristics to the best possible advantage. This is .usually when the corn is in the milk, as then the leaf, ear and stalk can be studied to good advantage. We should select a medium stalk which puts out one good ear about three feet above the ground. The stalk should have numerous broad healthy leaves. When the ideal stalk is found it should be marked so as to recognize the plant after the corn has ripened. After the first plant is found other plants are selected that conform close- ly to the first selected stalk. In this way 200 or 300 stalks are marked, and after the corn is well ripened the ears from them are picked and husked. The ears that are not uniform in character are rejected, and only those that show good type are saved for the second year's work. These ears should be thoroughly cured and put away where mice will not molest them or where they will not be subject to frequent variation in temperature. The second step in corn breeding is known as tbe car to the row method of breeding. For this we use the ears selected the previous year. The ears are. tested for germination and only tire strongly gerininating ears kept. Of these the butts and tips are reject- ed. and the middle two-thirds of the ear is generally used. Ground should be selected upon which similar crops have been grown from year to year so that the soil will be in a uniform condition. Each ear is planted in a separate row until 50 or 100 ears are used. The hills are an equal distance apart, and the same number of kernels, usually three, are planted to the hill. The outcome is astonlsbing, Some of the ears of corn planted have the energy, vitality and projected efficien- cy to produce ns much as ten times the amount of select seed corn that other sister ears are able to produce. The rows that are to be the heavy yielders of good seed corn early become no- ticeable for the, general uniformity which they hold throughout the entire row. The next year's seed corn should be secured from these High yielding rows, and it will transmit this special func- tion of yield and perfection of ears to its progeny of the next year's crop. In some .instances every alternate row is detasseled, so as to prevent close fertilization, and the seed corn selected thee from the detnsseled rows. Good seed corn does not, of eourse, guarantee good crops. Poor soil poor- ly cared for will give. a poor crop no mutter how good the seed is. but using good seed you are stiro good care will het be wasted by the failure of the seed in gerininating Or breeding power.
