People know that .any man who has had the experience, and possesses the necessary capital, is in as good a position to sell any daas 'of - mer- chandise as reasonable as the next man, as competition is now so keen that it leaves but little differ- ence in. the retailed prices of the staple articles. What reasonable people desire . is not that merchants should claim in their advertisements to be sacri- ficing reasonable profits, nor do they look for or desire that mer chants should be continually mak- ing unseenaly, brawling statements, which, on the face of it all, are readily detected as lacking founda- tion in fact or'principle.

There is also a 10.acre marsh on my place which I 'cleared up and sowed timothy on; the result is as fine a piece of meedew,_ as can be seen any- where." - "Such a place as youre is deserving of some distinctive name," suggested the writer. "So it has," was Mr. ,Govenlock's reply. "I have christened it Maple Row. That's a distinction just now. When maple rows get too common I might think of something else." In further conversation Mr. Govenlock stated that he preferred farming 160 acres well to a greater quantity in an Indifferent way. He relied mainly on wheat; but kept half a dozen eows, besides a few hogs and chickens and just hones enough to do his work. Attention to these kept him occup- ied all the year round. Ile found that there were big profits in stook well eared for, and had great faith in roots as feed. In reply to a query as to the outlook for the present -season Mr. Govenlock -stated roots would be poor, hay good, and grain fair. The cold, dry spring had fevered weeds at the expense of everything else. • Seaforth Bowling Tournament.

The Press, a neat and newsy paper, pub. lished in Neepawa; Manitoba, has the fol. lowing: In following up his purpose of interview- ing a number of the most successful farmers of this district and publishincwhat they sayewith a view to demonstrating to i'out- side" readers of the Press (who number hundreds) what pluck, energy and economy can accomplish here, the editor on Saturday tackled Mr. james B. Govenlock, of Union, threamiles east of Neepawa. He was very reluctant to . tam, lest he might be accused of boasting;a but having been assured that plain facts only would be published, and the object solely. to promote immigration and let others benefit by his experience, Mr. Goven- lock consentid to talk. It might first be i. stated that t e writer hid previously visited Mr. Govenl ck's place and - found it nicely situated, well cultivated, with neat and sub- stantial buildings,completely tenced and a row of map es extending the full length of away 507.

How- evea, if Greenway builds the WinnipegDulhth railway, and effects the proposed saving in outgoing and incoming freights at not too large a cost, it will be a boon to the public and a bonier to Hugh John at. taining the Premiership. I do not think the school question will ever cut a figure in Provincial politics, as the wise caunsel of the "Merry Dell," (as the Papal Ableaate is jocularly called here) will prevail, and, this with the law being diplomatically administered, will allay all discontent and satisfy all classes. The crops are not all that could be de- sired. This was caused by a. dry, cold spring, retarding the growth of seed after being in the ground and giving weeds the start. Some fields have been completely choked out with weeds and necessttating plowing down. One farmer I hear of plow- ed down 70 acres, and a good many from 10 to 30 acres. On the other hand some fields are a good crop, and particularly that sown with a drill, the broadcast sown being very poor. Hay is a fair crop; potatoes and vegetables and roots are also a fair crop. Fruit, none was destroyed by late spring frosts. The spring frosts continued later and more severe than for years. In conclusion, allow me to say, that the friends here of the late Miss -McLean were pained to hear of her death, and tender their sympathy to her bereaved relatives. "Her earthly loss will be heavenly gain." -Weirs in sympathy, W. BARBER, Snow fiakee Menitoba. 0a The Real Work of the Church.

It is not perhaps no good a as some others can make; but I ot set out to become rich. I have eede a home for myself." e you any suggestions to offer on ural economy ?' the editor asked. Why is it that God's g.lory must be put first and our good second? Because in the garden of Eden, God's glory was _,the thing that was aimed at. In six days (or in six long periods it may mean) God made the world and all things that are in it. First one thing then another, each thing more interesting than the last, 'till on the last day He made man, and put in him some- thing of His own holiness and eternity. His work was finiehed. He "rented," re- viewing all the perfect works He had made. But there was another eye looking on° that desired to seain all God's glorw'sand greatness; that desired to show that he was far more powerful and clever than God, and inr a moment, with one touch upon just one thing that G-od had created,he turns all teas perfect and wonderful creation into confus- ton. The beasts that were under man are now his masters. The most diminutive creatures trouble him the most, and he that was like God himself suffers the greatest destruction. It may be that the damage it was to do to man had a small place in Satan's mind except as a spoiling of God's work. Had things stood at that, Satan would have been mightier than God. But there is no confusion to God. He gives sentence to each, and the occurrence just opens a door for Him to begin a new and greater work than all that is past. Happy will they be who shall be accoutated worthy to stand at his rigat hand on that great day and. view in composure the 'Anew heavens " and the "now earth." After four thousand years He brings into the world a little, feeble babe, to redeem His glory—a babe so poor that there were no clothes provided for Him,and no home,and in death what clothes He had were taken &Mu Him.

DEAR EXPOSITOR,—During the past two weeks, upon two occasions, we have been so forcibly and p easantly reminded of old Huron, and espe hilly Tuckersmith, that we are led to write hese words, thinking your space will not be so fully occupied now that parliament is prorogued,and the Jubilee fuss and feathers have passed into history. The first pleasant reminder to which I refer, was a visit from the Rev. J. F. Landsbor- ough, whose mission field runs' parallel for thirty miles with the international bound- ary on the Dakota side. Mr. Landsborough has, I think, five appointments to cover his large field, which would awe many an east- ern minister who probably has only a few steps to take from the easy chair of his comfortable manse to his pulpit, and which could be taken in slippered feet. Mr. Lands - borough is doing a good work, often driving 20 to 30 miles in an afternoon, attening to pastoral calk arid his other numerous duties. One of his appointments is about six miles from us and we; hope to aear him preach at an early date, and we wish him success in his high calling. The second pleasant reminder that I refer to occurred last week by -a two days' visit of Mr. and Mrs. James Broadfoot, of Glad- stone, Manitoba, who were returning from a visit to Mrs. Bleadfoot's brother, who re- sides at Bottneau, North Dakota. They drove the entire distance, the round trip being 350 miles, Taey returned via Cart- wrighte Crystal •City, Snowflake and Mani- tou; thence north to McGregor on the main line of the C. P. R., and from there to their home at Gladstone. Such a drive would be constdered in Ontario a tremen- dous undertaking, but Mr. and Mrs. Broad - foot, in their comfortable turnout, thor- oughly enjoyed their five weeks' trip and visit. In fact, so much did they enjoy it, that they are contemplating a trip another summer, via Snowflake to Park River, Da- kota, to visit Mrs. F. Robb and other• friends. During the fifteen years that we had not seen them time has dealt very gently with them, as thy retain their vigor to a marked degree. Their large family are engaged in different occupations, mer- cantile, teaching and farming, and one of the sons, a compar ativ el y young man, is a prominent member of theit municipal council. After meeting with those friends and re- calling so many pleasant social recollections, it seems rather difficult to break ' away to say anything on . politics or common crop and weather talk. However, I may slightly touch these 'matters. Foremost in Provin- cial politics at present, is the alleged ,efforts that Premier Greenway is making to build an air line to Duluth from Winnipeg, and by which he expects to effect a saving ot arum 5c to 6c per bushel on wheat freight rates, which would mean a substantial sum to the farmers of the west, providing they do not have to pay too dear for the'whistle in the -way of guaranteeing interest on the bonds, etc. Me.
