Lessons in Etiquette. Those who have dined in restuarants or hotels habitually will find that they have fallen into many unpleasant little ways, permissible possibly toward a landlord, but nat toward a hostess. They feel that they have the privilege both to criticize openly and to imply criticism either of the food itself or of the way in which it is served. Women who Cherish the ambition of making poor, forlorn habitues of hotels happy with "home cooking" have their hopes dashed be this ungracious habit. Let those, too, who have fallen into the habit of dipping a spoon or fork into a glass of water at a restaurant and then wiping it on a napkin before using it beware of those moments when they become deeply absorbed in Conversa- tion at the house of a friend or even at the home table. Could any habit be more insulting to a hostess? ---Harpers Mean n spring and summer, it's Rhe natural time to store up Iideath and vitality for the velli: t Atir ,4414 Gw SL4K3F at Arid w«C �ft-a1 't.F +tl .`,:_\*a-s*AitsklAltIVAL Had Weather -41041 Fail. .Fairs, The following is the new law as it relates to Agricultural Societies where bad weather interferes with, the An- nual Fairs. -Section 24 of the Agricul- lural Societies Act is hereby amended by adding the following subsection; If the Superintendent en or before the thirtyfirat day of December in any year receives proof by the joint Oh, davit of the President and Secretary, Treasurer that rain or snow has fallen at the place of holding an exhibition' and before three o'clock in theafter- noon on any day of the holding an ex- hibition, and upon hie being satisfied that as a consequence the gate receipts were less than the average of the pre- view three years of holding the exhibi- tion, the society shalt be entitled to receive a grant equal to one half of the difference between the gate receipts of the current year and the average of the gate receipts of the previous three years, but the amount to be paid shall not exceed three hundred dollars, and the total amount so paid to all societies shall not exceed ten thousand dollars. THE WINITI AK TIMES, 'SEPT) M To Stop Trespassing, All magistrates have received a let- ter from the acting deputy attorney - general telling them that in view of the many accidents that have been caused by people trespassing on the railroads during the year ending March 31, 1911, something should be done to stop such trepassing "Attention has been called to the numerous .accidents caused by persons trespassing on the railway tracks. Daring the year end- ing March 31, 1911, 140 persons were killed and 60 injured while so trespass- ing. The Dominion Railway Act, R. S. C., chap, 37, section 408, provides that every person not connected with the railway or employed by the com- pany, who walks along the tracks thereof, except where the same is laid on or across a highway, is liable to a penalty not exceeding $10, and a like provision is made by the Ontario Rail- way Act, 0, Edward VII, 'chap, 30, section 240. It is important that the law should be strictly enforced in all proper cases, the matter being of im- portance, not merely as it effects the railway companies, but from the public point of view as well." Winnipeg's Population. The board of assessors' • report just issued shows that the population of Winnipeg increased last year 19,238, a gain over the previous year of 15 per cent., and, as compiled from the assessment rolls a total population of 151,958. This is a record year except that of 1906 when the percentage of gain showed an increase of 22 per cent. The report also shows an increase in assessment values of $15,069,030. The exempted property is this year valued at $27,511,350, which added to the rate- able realty valuation for the City of Winnipeg of $200,188,600. Population of Scotland. In a Parliamentary return issued showing .Ibe areas, population and valuation of the counties, burghs and parishes in Scotland, the total area,. revised, by the Ordnance Survey De- partmen up to December 31st, 1910, was given as 19.070,466 acres, the popu- lation at the census of the present year 4,759,445, and the total valuation £32,835,947, The most populous coun- ty is Lanark, with 1,447,113, the next in order being Edinburgh with 507,662 and Renfrew with 314,574. The high- est valuations are Lanark £9,692,844; Edinburgh, £4,765,095; Aberdeen, £I,- 965,121, and Renfrew, £1,895,28.9. White Grubs in Garden. It is one of the most discouraging tbings.instrawberry culture to see the fine plants wither away in August. The white grubs work at the roots, and usually you cannot tell they are present until the plants begin to die. There is no prevention except digging up the plants, killing the grubs and replant- ing. Thorough culture will destroy the eggs and the young grubs, but the old ones are hard to get at. The life history of the insect covers three or. four years, and the only safe way is to avoid setting strawberries on soil liable to contain the insects. They are usu- ally found in old meadows or pastures. When these are ploughed up the grubs appear in the soil for two years or more. Thorough culture and hoeing during tate summer will kill off the new crop, but the best treatment is to plough the sod in late summer and turn a drove of lively young hogs into the field. We have known such hogs to dig more than two .feet into the soil after these inseets. There- is no prat- tiearremedy when the grubs are work- Mg on strawberry plants, except hand. digging and pielting. It is expected that large consign-, rats of Canadian peaches will be at to London this year. It is said•: at ono grower alone contemplates ding 12,000 or 15,000 Boxes of fruit :lee; market. The peaches • are land - ti in perfect condition, being shipped in special cool chambers. A flew Explosive, The recent death of the inventor of the Japanese explcsive, siiimose pow- der, which played such an iinpoit�►nt part in the Russian war, adds interest, says the Springfield Republican, to the annonncement made by B,F,B, Wright, a former professor of chemistry at Harvard, that he haat discovered a new explosive that is almost safe to handle and three times as powerful as dyna- Mite. Of course the ingredients are being kept a. secret. Itis saki that the new explosive will not damage any- thing unless fired b an airtight cham- ber. A bag of it has been dropped from a six -story window to the side- walk, grains of it have been pounded on an anvil, and a rapid-fire gun has shot into amass of it, all. with no ex, plosion fol;owing Mr, Wright claims that it will stand 275 degrees of heat without igniting and so the danger of spontaneous combustion is obviated, It will not freeze, and it can be used 15 minutes after being compounded, Dy- namite moat be stored 00 days before it can be used. A well known physician, Dr. Edward Adams, of 596 Sherbourne $t., Toronto, died suddenly at Port Hope, where he had gone for a few days. Farmers in the' melon -growing sec- tions of Colorado have for some years held annual festivals at which all comers are supplied freely with the luscious fruit of the melon, In an- other section, where cucumbers and tomatoes are largely grown, they have a pickling day. The people of Georgia seem to be much pleased with the manner in which convict labor is being employed for the good of the state. Under the law a county may secure a number of convicts from the penitentiary to build roads and in return becomes responsible for the safety of the prisoners as well as for their food, clothing and tools. Out of the 135 counties in the state 111 have so far employed convicts on their high- ways, and it is said that the roads have been greatly improved. The last French womanwho met Napoleon I. face to face died this week at Troyes, aged 102. She was Mme Milks, a widow, whose parents were on the domestic staff of the Palace of Fontainebleau. She was five when Napoleon, shortly before taking Ieave of his guards, spoke to her in the pal- ace perk. Mme. Millos retained a vivid recollection of this meeting until the day of her death, and on that ac- count she was something of a local celebrity. LINE STOCK MARHETS. Toronto, Sept. I9—The rising ten- dency of prices for fat cattle on the local markets was halted by . a large increase inathe receipts at the Union Stock Yards yesterday. The big run prompted buyers -to hesitate in an ef- fort to force a decline. Sales of choice export bullocks at $6.20 to $6.50 per hundredweight show how successful they were. The top price of the ses- sion was 10c lower than the extreme high price of last week, but a greater number of cattle were sold at yester- day's highest price than was the case a week ago. No one denied that slight losses had been experienced in odd transactions, but both buyer and seller agreed that the market was remark- ably steady considering the extent of the offering. The yards were not cleared as early as they were a few weeks ago- when light supplies distin- guished trade. The receipts were 144 cars, contain- ing 2,945 eattle, 30 calves, 603 hogs and 579 sheep and Iambs.
