Brass jewelry his bosom frets ; he smokes the cheaper cigarettes. and plays a band at pool ; the latest rag time song he sings and knows a raft of useless things he never learnt at school. He knows how many rounds it took the great John Sullivan to cook Tug Wil- son, years ago and he can tell you, by the watch, bow long it took the farmer Gotch to lay the Frenchman low. He knows the story of the steed which broke all records by its speed 'way Y back before the wars ' and he soaked his scrambled brains with facts concern- ing aeroplanes and yachts and motor oars; alas, his ignorance is dense when asked the way to build a fence or work aP atent churn ; he never planted peas or trees—such useless, trifling things as these he never tried to learn. The things to which he'd turn his hands are things for which there's no demand— his knowledge has no sale ; and so he makes his penny bets and smokes his spinach cigarettes before the village jail. Some foolish damsel at his side one day goes forth to be his bride, and having made the splice, she buckles down with mop and tub to make a living for a dub too cheap to have a price. HOME FROM EUROPE.—The Stratford Beacon of last Tuesday says :—Duncan Ferguson has returned from his European business trip the picture of good health. His tour caused him to visit the principal business and manu- facturing centres of England and Scot- land, France Germany and Switzer'I*dd,, i:lP' PNfYhGi"tiitere'8r Tt7hst Britain is very active, but complaints are heard of dullness in the domestic trade caused by strikes and a feeliog of unrest generally. The important social re• forms introduced by Lloyd -George would, however, he said, bring such beneficial results that a period of contentment might be expected. On the continent, especially Germany, the talk was of hard times but there were no visible signs of distress. A year ago when Mr. Ferguson was in Germany it was during the Morocco excitement, when war was freely talked of, but this year little was heard of a threatening war. Germans who would speak freely a year ago would only talk when approached about the platter. They defended their navy ap- propriations by claiming that they were needed to protect their trade and coasts. The cause of distress that exists in Germany Was prominently in sight in the vast numbers of soldiers almost constantly in view.
