known was granted for a small piece
of meadow land, same 16 acres in ex-
tent, in Surrey, England. It is for a
term of 2900 years, and was granted
on St. Michael's day, in 1051, at the
singular rental of "a red rose when
demanded." It is not stipulated That
the rose shall bo the product of this
land, which is fortunate, for no such
rose grows anywhere on the 10
acres.
ADVANCE, THURSDAY,. FEBRUARY 23, 1905.
PAiRS AND HXtilWWITIQNS.
Considerable interest was taken in
the speech of Won. Nelson Monteith,
e the new Minister of Agriculture, at
0' the annual meeting of the Ontario As-
sociation of Fairs and Exhibitions
over which he presided last Tuesday
night in 7.'oronto, In regard to his
selection as head of the Department
of Agriculture, Mr. Monteith said it
calve as a surprise to hint. He was
singularly fortunate or unfortunate,
in following such a man as Hon. John
Dryden, who bad done so much for
agriculture in Ontario. (Applause.)
Mr. Monteith trusted that when his
successor carne on the scene the same
might be said
of his work.
About one hundred delegates were
present, representing agricultural
soeieties all over northern and western
Ontario. The two important ques-
tions to be considered by .the conven-
tion in connection with the proposed
revision of the agriatlttrre and arts
act. They were the rechietion of the
number of agricultural societies and
making grants to depend upon the
proportionate assistance given to agri-
culture. With many of "the Fairs the
agricultural features aro of minor im-
portance. "It is no longer possible to
conduct a Fair on agricultural lines,"
they say, but in the opinion of Secret-
ary H. B. Cowan the horse racing and
grand stand features, have injured
Fairs more than they have helped
them. He reported 412 agricultural
and 70 horticultural societies in On-
tario, or an average of five for every
riding. A. proper reduction of that
number by the doing away with some
of the township shows and making
the grants to depend on the value
given to agriculture would work an
early improvement. Mr. Cowan il-
lustrated his lecture with views of
fairs of both kinds. He also had on
exhibition a number of the devices
used by fakirs at the fairs.
President W. B. Saunders, of Stay-
ner, in his address, said that an act
passed thirty-five years ago of neces-
sity should be revised. He suggested
as new educative features at the fails
competition in nature study in the
naming of plants, flowers and trees,
contests in games, and the holding of
such attractions as would be suitable
for a school children's day.
President Creelnlatn, in his address
on the subject of co-operation of the
Agricultural College and agricultural
societies, pointed out that the socie-
ties, through their fall fairs and agri-
cultural societies, were now only ful-
filling a part of the functions they
were intended to fulfil under the act.
Their energies were almost entirely
devoted "to awarding prizes for live
stock and farm and garden improve-
ments. The work of experimenting
had fallen to the Agricultural Experi-
mental Union last year. Foto thou-
sand and fifty farmers had reported to
the Union the results of experiments
conducted by thein. The raising of
pure-bred live stock bad been turned
^ over to live stock associations, and
the preparation of essays and articles
on scientific agriculture was being
done alinost solely by students and,,,
professors of the 0. A. C. all these
_ things were intended to be within the
scope of the agricultural societies.
President W. B. Saunders, of Stay -
nee, delivered the annual address at
the afternoon meeting. He spoke
strongly for the iinprovernent of the
educational advantages of agricul-
tural fairs, for a reduction in the
number of fall fairs, the establishment
of a school children's day, and the en-
couragement of athletic gaLines and
sports.
Superintendent Cowan's annual re-
port went over the usual ground. He
declared it to be his opinion that
horse ratting and grand stand perform-
ances had injured more societies than
• they had benefitted.
-When the cutting of what is
known as the Colborne hill in Gode-
rich township was undertaken, it was
agreed that the cost, about $1100,
would be defrayed by Goderich and
Colborne townships, Clinton and the
county council. -Colborne's share, as
agreed upon, was $100, but the coun-
cil of that township has refused to
pay the amount and accordingly
Reeve Middleton has entered suit
against it.
-Mr. V. S. Vogan of Walkerton,
has invested in a fifty -acre farm in
Cuba. He macre the purchase from a
Toronto firm that recently obtained
possession of a 70,000 acre estate on
the island, aud, which they are now
retailing out in small parcels. Mr.
Vogan says he can grow on this farm,
tobacco, sugarcane, pineapples or
bananas has he may see fit. He in-
tends visiting his newly acquired farm
at an early date.
Clinton.
The Orange celebration to be held
here July 12th, 11105, promises to equal
the record breaker that was held here
nearly eighteen years• ago, if the keen
interest manifested in the reports of
the local orange societies of Huron
county that have recently been held
are any indication.
One of the most remarkable cases of
illness in this section is that of a son
of ,,Mr. John Lanxon, of the Huron
Road. For over two years this young
man has been dying with kidney -liver
trouble. At times he .has been given
up, and at the point of death, being
unconscious for days, but has revived,
even getting so well that he has been
able to get on his feet and around.
Since" New Year's he has passed
through one of these spells, but we
learn there is bright prospects of hila
coming back from the grave, so to
speak, once again.
For the third time in seven years,
Clinton's largest and most important
industry, the Organ Factory of W.
Doherty & Co., has been visited by
fire. On Wednesday horning last,
the magnificent building known as
Machinery Hall and finishing rooms -
running parallel with the railway -
was entirely destroyed. Mr. Geo.
Sage (who has had a long experience)
was on duty as night watchman on
Tuesday, the regular night watchman,
Mr. Goodwin, being laid off by acci-
dent. Mr. Sage, apparently made a
systenutsic and careful inspection of
the building daring the night, his
watchman's clock indicating that he
haul performed his duty carefully,
making his hourly rounds, when
everything appeared to be ali right.
He had gone into the furnace room to
work, and at about 5.30 was astound-
ed at Mr. \V. Walker, who lives
across the road, running in and say-
ing that the building was on fire.
The alarm was at once given, the fire
even then being beyond control, the
flames spreading in all directions
among the infleamnable material by
which the shop was occupied, The
building burned contained practically
the machinery used for the manufac-
ture of organs, which was modern and
up -to -(late, having been put in since
the last fire four years ago, In aL re.
markably short time after tihe fire
stated it Was a mass of scrap iron,
the building being gutted from end to
ed, The bench men employed in this
shop lost their working tools. The
loss on the building and itti contents
will be in the neighborhood of 330,000,
covered. by a total insurance of $08,000
on the two factory buildings, --[New

FARMERS' INSTITUTE TRAINS.
A novel institute idea is being work-
ed out in the Western States. It began
with the Chicago, Burlington, and
Quincy road, but other lines have
since followed the exatnple set. A
special train is sent over the line for
the purpose of holding Farmer's Insti-
tute Meetings at all rural stations.
This excellent idea has been copied
and extended in Canada. A Railway
Institute train, organized by the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture,
with the co-operation of Canadian rail-
ways, is now going through Quebec.
One car on thts Farmers' Institute train
carries horses, cattle, sheep, swine and
poultry, each animal on board being -
typical of its class, The train is not
rushed as are the Institute trains in .
the United States, but will stop long
enough to hold two-day meetings at
different places in. Quebec. At these
meetings, the farmers who assemble 1
are requested to bring specimens of
their live stock, so that these may be
compared With the animals carried on
the train. The object is to increase
each man's store of kowlecdge regard- -
ing the various classes of live stock he
is handling. There is also a general
discussion on live Stock, and the de- .
mantis of the market both at home and
abroad. The illstrtlOtors who ac-
company the train include Pro. Gris-
dale and N. Fortier, of the Ottawa
Experimental Farm, and Robt Ness of
Ilowick, Qnc. The animals carried by
the train Experimental
been suplflied by the
E
Ottawa xperimental Farr», Robert
Ness, J. G. Clark, J. M. 'Guardhouse,
and John }aright. The attendance at
tate meetings so far indicates that the
farmers appreciate this ne\W method
of instruction.
'Oa Welt Curse,
All Irish authority time defues a*
an expert the effects of a well deliv-
ered curse: "The belief among the an..
tient Trish was that a curse once pro•
mounted must fall in some direction,
If it bits been deserved by hint on
whom it is pronouneed, it will tail on
him sooner or later, but it it has not
then it will return upon the person who
pronounced It. They compare it to
wedge with which a woodman cleaves
timber, If It bas room to go, it will go
and cleave the wood, but if it bas not
it will fly out and strike the woodman
himself, who ib !driving It, between the
eyes,,,
There are three altars, inside the
caphel at Innismurray, Ireland, built
square of rough loose stones and hav-
ing on the top of them a number of
curious, round, smooth stones. These
have been.used for cursing by turning
them, and the natives are very super-
stitious about therm,
One mode of averting the curse was
for the person against whom the stones
were turned to have a grave dug, to
cause himself to be laid in It and to
have three shovelfuls of earth cast over
him, the gravediggers at the same time
reciting rhymes.
I+'nther and Son.
What a father can do, If be wIlI, is to
make bis own experience and knowl-
edge an inseparable part of the Intel-
lectual and apiritual equipment of his
son, but be can do this only when he
cares rip much about It as to make it a
daily, hourly object of his life, says the
Cosmopolitan: So many fathers shirk
the undertaking; so many of ther
stand aloof and let the precious years
110 by, willing to give anything and
everything except themselves. The
first and great reward of course is the
one that comes when be sees the boy
upon the verge of manhood going out
into the world to face the inevitable
dangers which confront the novice, for
the life of a man differs from the life
of a woman' In this respect -that at
some time or other, sooner or later, the
time must come when he shall stand
alone, relying on Ms own strength to
conquer if he be sound and brave, to
fall if he be weak and cowardly.
Where .Conneeticnt Got Its Name.
It might be imagined that Connecti-
cut Is called the "land of steady hab-
its" on account of the exemplary con-
duct of its citizens. But it obtained
that title in a different manner. A citi-
zen of that state explains the matter
thus: "In the early colonial times it
was the custom to provide every one
who assisted at a dedication, church
building or barn raising with a 'hooker'
of good Jamaica rutn. These functions,
needless to say, were popular. When
the charter creating Connecticut a
crown colony arrived, there was, of
course, a celebration. The first govern-
or, John Winthrop, refused to provide
ruin and In his inaugural address de-
plored the custom of tippling, saying .
9t did not lead to steady habits.' There-
upon the Nutmeg State had u title to
hand down to posterity."

Can Ton See Alrt
• If air cannot be seen, what is it that
we see quivering above n field on n hot
slimmer day or even above a hot stove
in the house? '1'It:at question has puz
zlcd many a head, both old and young.
The answer usually given is that it is
the heat, but heat cannot be seen, and
therefore it Is not the heat.
The explauatiou of the phenomenon
Is really quite simple, like all such
things, when we hear 'it As a matter
of fact, it is air that we see quivering,
but heat makes it visible. The quiver-
ing is caused by the upward passage,
close by each other, of small currents
of air of different temperatures in
which the rays of light are irregularly
refracted, and this makes the currents
visible.
Value of Capital.
Once upon n time two utter bank-
rupts were considering ways and •
means of getting needed money.
"I know how we can make $0," said
one
"IIow?" asked the other.•
"Raise n dollar note to ten by placing -
a cipher after the one."
"Where will we raise the dollar?"
Then the scheme failed for want of
capital.
Moral. -The great financial difficulty
is in raising the first dollar.
Changed Iris Ticket.
An entertaining story is toil of a
railway manager In Wales whose Iden-
tity was not known to the ticket col-
lector of an outlying station. Ile was
walking through the station door when
the collector surprised him with a 're•
quest for his ticket.
"My face Is my ticket," he said, with
much pleasantry.
"Oh," said the collector, "my orders
are to punch all tickets!"
A Story ot Robespierre.
The story is told of Robespierre that
at one time, when at the height ot his
power, a lady called upon hhn, be-
seeching him to spare her husband's
life, He scornfully refused. As she
turned away she happened to tread
upon the paw of his pet dog. He
turned upon her and asked, "Madam,
have you no humnnity?"
