A prominent attorney with ..fomes in Mexico City, who arrived in New York recently, is quoted as saying; : "Money conditions are bad, but people seem to get money somewhere to at- tend the bull -fights. Before I left Mexico City one bull -fight in which a prominent Spanish matador participat- ed, was witnessed by a howling mob of 40,000 people, and tickets were sold as high as $10 Mexican money. Huer- ta was there -and unattended at that, When the bull was killed by what the Mexicans regarded as a very clever thrust, Huerta threw all the money he had in his possession and his diamond scarf -pin into the arena, much to the elation of the sudcessful matador."

This is one of the farmers' Co-operative Creameries that are being established throughout Nova Scotia. and which are proving highly successful Farmers Soured of a ready sale for their milk are encour- aged to go in for dairying and raise dairy cattle of a good elaee. This, of course, means the improvement of the land and more advanced farming con- ditions generally. A neer Creamery ie being erected at .Baddeck N. ei , and there will be one at Stellarton. Decd gra fruit l words lire but boom Rewarded His Horses. A Haverhill, Massachusetts, corres- pondent calls attention to a pleasing incident in that pity ; A pair of horsee were making every effort to haul a heavy load of coal up from one of the alleys onto Merrimack street. The driver elicited attention from the very first, for instead of applying the whip, he urged them to their beat by kind words and by standing at their side in- stead of berating them from the seat as so many drivers are apt to do. Fin- ally the heavy load was pulled over the crossing, and before he resumed his seat to proceed down the street, he draw an apple from his pocket and di- vided it among the patient animals. • Fordyce.

The Clover Threshers were at Fran- cis Doyle's last week and it appears aN though the clover seed is turning out well this year as they tares ll�ed in the neighbourhood of 0 bushels in a very short time. Although very cold it was agood time to thresh. They mov- ed next to Elliott Taylors. Mise Clara Mason, we are Iliad to hear, is able to be around again. Maxims And Proverbs. The following maxims and proverbs should have a place in the memory of all. Teachers wiII do weil to make them subjects for conversation and ex- pansion occasionally. A bad workman quarrels with his tools, A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A. burden which one chooses is not felt. A. clear conscience fears no accusa- tion. A contented mind is a continual feast. A fault confessed is half redressed. A fool and his money are soon part- ed. A. place for everything, and every- thing in its place. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A good word is as coon said as an ill one. A drowning- man will catch at a straw. A guilty conscience needs no accuser. A little leak will sink a great ship. An honest man's word is 'as good as his bond. A penny saved is a penny earned. A rolling stone gathers no noose. A stitch in time saves nine. As you sow, so shall you reap. A tree is known by ite fruit. A willing mind makes a light foot. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of pule. Better to suffer without cause than to have cause for suffering. Be more ready to forgive than to re- turn an injury. Be slow to promise and quick to per` form. Bettor iate than never, but, better still, never late. Better be atone than in bad company. Birds of a feather it ick together. Catch not at the shadow and lose the substance. Cut your coat according to your cloth.

JOE. eLARK, who lives on an improved road in Lauderdale County, Mississippi, makes the follow- ing convincing statement: "I live four miles from the city and two tulles from the school. This has been the worst Whiter 1 have ever seen, but there hasn't been a single day that my children havin't walked to school, and not a single day have they come home with wet feet, and to think, they walked down the middle of the road. Not one of them has been sick with a cold even, while heretofore my doctor bills have been more than my road tax. Talk to me about paying taxes to build roads. I ata willing to pay taxes on my pack of fox hounds, my bird dogs, my chickens, my horses, and, if necessary, my wife and children, if they will use it in extending roads like this all over the country. I would rather have my house and ten acres of land on this road like it is now than have my whole farm on the old road like it was before improvement.'" A Concrete Road . ull road is the most satisfactory and economical that can be built. It requires practically no expenditure for upkeep, and enables road taxes to be intwrcd in more good roads instead of being spmDlt in filling thud holes and ruts.
