Agriculture a Science
President Creelman, of the Ontario
Agricultural College, is in the habit of
poiutiug ent that in the last two decedes
the output of the Ontario farming in-
dustr7 has 3eusicld without any increase
i i liaCage. He can trace this marvelous
result direotly to the Guelph Institution
i and tI1.reforc, he has reason for the en•
thttsiesm which makes him one of the
most interesting personalities of tbis
c,ieutry. Agriculture in these days is a
science. Moreover it is one of the few
`ecienses whtch eau offer equal delight to
I the speculative thinker and the utthtar-
ian. Every success, every discovery,
every possible experiment sots directly
and immediately on the wealth of the
country. Once It was said by the happy-
go-lucky farmer, no doubt, that only a
wealthy man eonldcultivate 100 acres of
land scientifically. Sensible people now
do not talk in this manner. Tae farm-
( ers of Ontario are seeing the advantage of
pore seed, crop rotation, and soil study,
and are embracing the opportunity of
learning how to make two blades of
t grass grow where one grew before. The
The Legislature will do well to give the

llyomer Cures by Breathing Medicated
Air.
The popnlatity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an-
nals of medicine. Sack astonishing cures
have been made by this remedy that its
sale is steadily increasing every year.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1 00 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts a life -time, and if one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for 50 cents. It is the
most economical of all remedies adver-
tised for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
methods of treating diseases of the res-
piratory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for a few
minutes four times a day and your ca-
tarrh is cured. That's all.

RACE ACROSS ATLANTIC,
Officers on Prince Louis of Battenbergar
Flagship Act as Coal -Heavers.
An exe1)1050rting gn-as-youasacer
tools recently betwrc'en-plevessel$e rof
the second cruiser squadron during
their recent journey from Sandy Hoak
to Gibraltar, says The London Datiy-
Chronicle of Dec. 15. Towards the end
of the race it was seen that the win-
ner would be the ship whose crew'
could shift coal fastest, and on board
Prince Louis of iiattenberg's flagship,
the Drake, officers of the watch below
and the midshipmen, as well as war-
rant officers and seamen, became for
the time coal-ti'immere, and worleod
literally like niggers.
Prince Louis' orders, when the squad-
ron was clear of Sandy Hook, were to
"make the best of your way Indepen-
dently to Gibraltar at the greatest
speed possible with the amount of coal
on board." So close was the racing'
that on the evening -of the fourth day-
the
aythe Drake, Bedford, Berwick and
Cumberland were all within ane mile
of each other, with the Cornwall about
six miles astern and the Essex tailing
off four miles behind her,
Twenty-four hours later the Drake
had obtained a lead ,T live mile$, and
increased it, owing to the Berwick hav-
ing an engine break down for a couple
of hours. But next day, having the
advantage of best Welsh steam coal' to
the Drake's American coal, the Berwick
had crept up to within three miles of
the leader.
Petty officers tend men, including
signal ratings, volunteered for the
stokehold, and the middies worked in-
cessantly for many hours getting COet
to the fires from the after and reserve
bunkers. On the last day of the race
the Drake s lieutenants and warrant
officers donned coaling suits, and put
In six hours' hard work, with the result
that Prineoi Louis' flagship won th'r
race of 1,700 miles by eight cables.
The Drake's run from Sandy Book to
Tarifa Poin was seven days, seven
hours, ten minutes, and averaged eigh-
teen and a half knots an hour, beating
all man-of-war records for ocean rac-
ing by over half a knot. The flagship
had only 300 tons of coal left, and the
Bc'rwvick 250.
The King's Personal Friend.
King Edward's grant of the Windsor
uniform to the outgoing Premier, Ar-
thur Balfour, is an unusual distinction,
thuugh not quite so unique as some
people seem to believe, says the Mar-
quise de i'ontenoy. For while it is the
first time that it has been conferred
upon a statesman, it has occasionally
been granted to personal friends and
favorites of the monarch. It was in-
vented by the fate Prince Consort in
the early years of his marriage, and is
not, strictly speaking, a uniform, but
consists of an evening dress coat of
dark blue with scarlet collar and cuffs
and gold buttons, bearing the royal ci-
pher. In the day time it is worn with
gray trousers and buff waistcoat; in
the evening with white waistcoat, black
knee breeches, black silk stockings,
and Pumps. It is worn by the princes
of the reigning family and also by the
gentlemen of the royal Household when
in office and on duty in attt mlanee ort
royalty at Windsor.
Its grant to Arthur Balfour indicates
that the Ring wishes Min to feel that
he regards him in the light of a per-
sonal friend and as a memlier of the
immediate intimate circles of Their
Majesties. Emperor "William in the
same way whenever he wishes to give
a. special token of regard to a friend
confers upon hint the right to wear
the imperial shooting costume, which
is quite as unattractive_ in its way as
the 'Windsor uniform. These distinc-
tions savor of the yeIiow jacket, which
is the hlgheot distinction in the gift of
the t'hincse lempei or. and are, so far
as I am aware, the only sumptuary hon-
ors that are ever granted by European
sovereigns.
Curiosities of Journalism.
Norway can boast of the northern-
most paper in the world; this is The
Nord Kap, brought out weekly at Ham-
merfest. It obtains its news, accord-
ing to a writer In T. P.'s Weekly, by a
ship which calls once every eight days.
When items arrive on publishing day
they stand over till the next issue, 80
that the journal's latest news is often
fourteen days behind the rest of the
globe. A newspaper used to appear at
Deccan printed on white cotton, which
was used as a pocket handkerchief.
Then it was washed and the publisher
lithographed on the same sheet time
after thee, until it was lost. Probably
much the smallest -sized paper in the
world is a Mexican weekly, The Tele-
gram. It is composed of four pages
of printed matter, arranged in three
columns five inches Iong and two inches
wide. In this limited space is contain-
ed the world's news, bailed, or rather
stewed down. This curiosity of jour-
nalism has adopted for its motto: "Lit-
tle Straw and \such "Wheat,"
Fresh Eggs a Year Old.
8nme menthe ago a minor 'Hent
around -started by a correspondent of
The Lancet -that a chicken had been
hatched from an egg which had been
preserved by silicate of soda for a year.
Another correspondent has just been
experimenting and line found that
though the eggs woul(not produce
chickens they could not be distinguish-
ed from new laid eggs.. The produce
dealer has long ago discovered the vir-
tue and value of the egg preservative
and has • laid his plans aecordinglye
while hens in Ilussia, Siberia, M:orac-
so and Eiwi t lay the eggs. The break-
fast egg which is eaten as new laid
in Cape Colony, for instance, has prob-
ably come With a million others front
Russia by way of London and is about
nine Months old. Still it is "as good
08 new," and perhaps it will be tont-
forting to leern that it won't hatch
