damage the next year.The botanist of the Ohio station records the f< 11 owing: It is shown that leaf curl flournhe-under conditions of low toiaperatnr and abundant rainfall for April ai: May, especially it these conditions fol low a season of excessive leaf curl.Two such seasons lellnwing each other hav ) Just he* n experienced, and therein wide spread complaint of the curling, color iug and falling of the leaves afTcoted with the fungus.It has also been not* d that the leaf curl prevails to a greater extent upon several tine varieties, in eluding Elberta, Oldmixon, Mountain Rose, Globe, the Crawfords, Red Cheek, Chair’s Choice and some others, while Sal way, Smock, Wheeler and some others are much less susceptible, though somewhat injured at times.Trees badly attacked by curl are liable to drop much or all of the fruit Spraying experiments conducted on a commercial scale have been carried on for three years.It has been shown that bordeaux mixture is a profitable fungicide for seat), pustular spot and leaf curl, the stronger mixture being used for the application before blossoming, while half the strength can be uxe.d to good advantage after the leaves are out The firHt spraying for loaf curl to be effective must be made as the buds are swelling and just before the blossoms open, followed by another after blooming.These two sprayings in 1^97 reduced the proportion of curled leaves (diseased) from 8b per cout on unsprayed to 41 per cent on the sprayed, a difference believed to be sufficient to hold the crop of fruit.The results are even more striking when nnaprayed trees were compared with those treated two ytHirs in succession.In 1897 such had but 7 to 8 per cent of curled leaves, while the unsprayed for the same time had 88 per cent curl.Fall Preparatiou For Onions.The preparation of the seed bed in growing an onion crop is pronounced by The American Cultivator as of greatest importance.According to this authority, the bed should be fine and mellow at the surface, but ought not be deep.This condition is best secured by fall plowing land that has been already plowed and cultivated with some hoed crop to lessen the weed seeds in the soil.A crop of potatoes is the best to precede onions.Corn is objectionable because the stubs of corn butts when plowed under do not decay rapidly and will remain under the furrow next year, letting in air and making the bottom of the furrow too loose.For the same reason sod land should uot be plowed for onions.It is best to leave the soil slightly rough after the fall plowing, but uot iu ridges, as the break ing down of these will make the mellow soil too deep.So soon ns the ground G dry enough harrow and roll this sur face so as to compact it while mellowing it.Mark the rows straight, making them an inch deep.Then roll a short roller over the drill mark, packing the soil over the seed.If the onion seed is soaked so that it is nearly ready to sprout, the young onion* will be up, so as to see the rows before the weeds come up.This enables the grower to destroy most of the weeds by hoeing before they are up.Only the weeds iu line with the onions will have to be taken out by hand.A still better way perhaps is to grow onion sets, planting the seed in greenhouses some time during fall or winter and saving the sots to be transplanted when the ground is fit for them in the spring.Wider Kak«* nud Hoex Wanted.For some purposes onr common garden hoe* or rakes are too slow.Often we have to rake our fields over when fitting them for setting onion plants or for sowing small seed.Our common steel rakes are only a foot wide, and it takes a good deal of time to go over a patch.I hope some of our manufacturers of garden tools will before long give us a rake uot less than two feet wide.It will save us more than half the time consumed in raking.And thus it is also with the hoe.For drawing soil up to the rows of celery, iu hilling, the hoe might just as well be 18 inches w’ide.Sometimes I have remedied the deficiency iu length by riveting a piece of an old crosscut saw 18 inches long on an old hoe, ami thus been enabled to do quick work, but why don’t manufacturers give us such tools?—T.Greiner in Farm and Fireside.N«w# and Notes.During the past three years the price of ginseng in the United States has continued to increase, the best wild root bringing in the wholesale market for the season of 1897 from $4 to $4.73 per pound, while the price for the cultivated root has averaged |1 to f 1.60 higher •ban the wild root.Hot water is a good thing with which to destroy the cabbage worm.Meehan’s Monthly says if the water is just at boiling point it will be about the right temperature when it reaches the cabbage through a fine hose or sprayer.The question of a standard apple bar-1*1 is again under consideration.The National Apple Shippers’ association and National League of Commission Merchants are reported as having adopted a barrel of the measurements of the Minneapolis flour barrel.B.T.Galloway of tbe department of agriculture states that it is probable that the loss in the United States from the diseases affecting cereals, such as smuts and rusts, will alone amount to $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 annually.Excellent results from the use of lime In growing clover have been secured at the Rhode Island stations.9 LEEPLESSNESS is instantly re-

was Lisburn whereat the pleasantly situa’ei Prospect Hill School was to nuke my firm) stay.The schools, which are the property of the Society of Friends, stands on a hill to the north of the to*n and conaumuds a fine view of the surrounding country.Being a hoarding sc.iool it has to have expensive household accomodation, and is well appointed in all these respects, having among other conveniences a fine steam laundry, bath r om, a swimming bath, a dining room that looks out upon a splendid range of hills toward Belfast, and a kitchen and ranges that have to provide for nearly one hundred people at every meal.Lisburn has received great benefactions at the hands of the late Sir Richard Wallace, whose splendid grounds have all been given to the public in perpetuity for a park.The town is mainly supported by the linen trade, and the extensive thread works of Messrs Birboiu & Sons, and Messrs Stewart are also large.The crowning glory of my entire holiday however, was a tour to the Antrim Coast.Starting from Belfast we took the train to l^arne, passing on our way the celebra-ed Cvrrickfergus Castle, a fine specimen ot Norman architecture, built in the reign of Henry II, and now used as a military station.Near this also are the Gobbins fearsome steep rocks over which the rebels hurled Protestants to death iu the rebellion of 1798.At Larne was took the stages for Bat* tycastle and the Giant’s Causeway.But who can describe the novelty at.d exhilaration of a drive for over sixty miles on an Irish jaunting car.The Antrim Coast drive is sure to be unrivalled in Ireland for the grandeur and magnificence of its scenes.The great variety of geological features exhibited along the route, the numerous sections of fossilifenous beds, the grand physical features of the coast line and the stupendous erasions, contortions and land slips indicating the vast disturbances of past geological ages cannot be surpassed if equalled in Europe.The road from Larne to Ballycastle, costing £*37,000 has been so admirably constructed that one writer declares “had the engineer worked with a poet and a painter at his back he could not have laid out its course more agreeably to the eye, and the imagination.” The road itself is the joyous delight of bicyclists, a veritable luxury for lovers i f the wheel.As we move out of the town our attention is directed to a pair of singular rocks in the harbour known as the Maid ens and sui mounted by lighthouses.We next pass through Black Cave Tunnel,cut clean through the solid n»ck overhanging the road.Our route lies for miles along the eige of the sea and afford an every varying landscape.Here mighty perpendicular cliffs, tower away above us four to eight hundrtd feet.Anon a gentle grassy slope falls luck inland, dotted with pretty white houses and laid out in garden like fields and pastures.Yonder stretches a long range of verdant hills well cultivated and divided by thriving hedges, while hero and there on the face of it may be seen a blood red spot indicating mining operations for homiatite iron ore.At Ballygally we pass a quaint old castle built in the style of the French chateau and bearing over the doorway the inscription •' 1625—God is Providens is my Inheri-tans.As we drive along merrily at a good eight miles an hour the pretty villages of Glenarm and Carnlough are seen nestling in each its own little bay, and we find ourselves passing under Garrow Tow er the marine residence of Lord Herbert Vane Tempest, standing s )ine three hundred feet above the sea.It is a fav.rite resort for excursionists, the groin ds being always open to the public.The next object of interest is the Clough-i-stookan, or White Lady, a singular looking limestone rock standing isolated on the shore and somewhat resembling a human figure.By noon we have arrived at Cushen-dall, a tourist village, one of the prettiest so be found anywhere for beauty of situation, mildness of climate, historic associations and legendary lore.A beautiful level stream affords most excellent bathing opportunities.Here in the third century the poet Ossian wrote and sang, and near by is a group of 34 big stones known as Ossians grave.Overlooking the village Lurigethan mountain towers nearly 1,200 feet, being the end of a long range of hills and giving one the impres sion of an enormous unfinished railway embankment.From here wo took a short excursion to the Vale of Glenariffe, the Queen of Irish Valleys.Grand as the coast scenery is, it does not surpass the glory of this, the finest of the Antrim glens.Wood and water, flower and shrub, cliff and precipice, all combine in presenting an almost unequalled prospect.Some four or five miles in length, it forms for a large part of that distance a narrow gorge down which a little stream comes roaring and tumbling in beautiful water falls of fifty to a hundred feet high, whose names Ess-na Crub and Ess-na Sarach are almost as pictureque as the falls themselves.By means of rustic bridges, quaint little summer houses, and inviting stats in sheltered nooks the glen has been made a delightful resort for a summer day’s outing.From Cushendale to Ballycastle the roid lies over a wild moorland disttict uttirly devoid of trees or shrub and forming pasture only for a breed of small active mountain sheep.Here too, we saw immense peat bogs from which supplies of fuel were being derived.Some five hundred feet above sea we passed a singular freak of Nature in the form of an intermittent lake, sometimes entirely dry for a day or two and thon again filling up spontaneously and without wan ing.It is supposed to be supplied by an underground stream rising and falling by a sort of syphon action.Leaving the car at Ba’lyvoy we walked across country three miles to the top of Fair Head the most striking promontory of the north of Ireland.It is composed if basaltic rock and stands 839 feet perpendicularly above the sea.The day was singularly clear and from the summit the view was sublime To the south-east, Atlsa Crag loomed up in the distance ; immediately across the Channel the Mull of Cantyre was plainly visible, while a little little north of that again the Pa|>8 of Jura lifted the forms distinctly against the h< rizon At our Ret looking like a jewel of emerald Rat him Uy on the bosom of EXAMINER, AUGUST 2 the sea, * thing of beauty, with Bruce's Castle at one

near the summit are three sin*11 lakes one of which, L«ugh> a Cranagh, contains m the centre a cranna^eor ancient lake dwed ing constructed on piles in the water.Only the foundation now remains, but

women to be the subject of faint spells, heart and nerve weakness, anaemia, or gny of those health destroying ailments peculiar to her sex.Mil-burn’s Heart and Nerve Pills regulate the heart beat and make it strong and full, tone the nerves, enrich the blood, and relieve the pain and weakness from which so many women suffer.Mrs.Alex ander Setter, of Pigeon Bluff, Man., writes an account of her case as follows : “ I have great pleasure in giving my experience of Milburn’s Heart ami Nerve Pills.For about ten years I was troubled with throbbing and fluttering of the heart.I tried live doctors and several remedies but none of them did me much good.Lately 1 heard of Milburn’s Heart and Nerve Pills and bought two boxes.Before I started using them I could not do in y house work and gave myself up to die, as I thought I would never be cured.Now I feel really splendid since taking the pills, do my work, enjoy my meals and feel as if there was something in life worth living for.” Milburn s

Mr.George John son show that there are in Canada 553 creameries, 2,56ft cheese facte ries and 20R factories, producing both butter and cleese The census of 1871 show»d that there were in the Dominion then 353 cheese factories.The census of 1881 gave 7OR cheese factories, that of 1891 g.ve 1,565, and the returns of 1897 R8 show that, including the 203, there are 2,759 factories producing cheese.Comparing 181*7 with 1871 the return of the number o* fac ories does not show all the development there has been.The aveiage output of 1891 was valued at £6,250 per fact cry, aid in 1871 it was £4,570.The average value per factory for 1897-98 Mr.Johnston estimates at $5670, or about 91,00(1 more than in 1871, but $680 less than in 1891, giving an output in 1897 of about 9l5,3O0JIO0, against an output in 1891 of $9,780,000, in 1881, of 95,460,000, and in 1871 of 91,602,OIK).In 1871 the Dominion had no creameries for the manufacture of butter.It were all home-made.By 1891 there were 46 creameries in the Dominion, all but.one in Ontario and Quebec By 1891 these had increased to 170, and 1 y 1898 there were 559 creameries.In 1891 the ontput per faetory was 95,400 At the same rate the

German to the subjects taught in the Protestant Academies of the Province.As we stated then,there is legal provision for the teaching of the subject but it has been almost entirely neglected.In view of the fact that near, ly all of the universities now admit French and German as a double option in place of Greek, it is time for onr academies to fall into line with the intermediate schools of Ontario and the United States, where German is given equal attention with French.The student taking up the subject at the university for the first time, with not even an elementary knowledge of German grammer and pronounciation, is severely handicapped, a id if he proposes to complete his arts course with science subjects, the need of the language becomes very apparent to him.The best text book and the best journals in science to-day are published in German.Apart also from the purely practical character of the study there is the other consideration that a knowledge of German opens up to the English student a grand literature most nearly allied to his own.Our academies are displaying a progressive spirit nowadays and we trust the most of them will see their way clear to adding German to the suljects taught.The action taken at the convention of the Canada Medical Association at Quebec last week, looking towards the adoption of a Dominion matriculation and registration is in the right direction.It is t me for the medical men of the several provinces of the Dominion to rise above the fear of provincial competition The standard of medical education, in the older provinces of Canada at least, is now very high, and the fact is well recognized in Em ope as well as in the United States.From the United States, indeed, McGill draws annually a large number of students who claim that equal advantages cannot be obtained in their own country.This standard will be in no way attested injur-ously by the proposed fédéra* i »n, as examination before a Dominion board will be required of

Qulckl I can’t hold on another minute! What are you stopping for?Oh, I’m going! Help! Help!” Very deliberately Cashelo walked down the steps and to tho edge of the pier.As soon as tbs other saw him he redoubled his exclamations.“Throw ms that rope!” he screamed.“Don’t stand like thatl Why, I shall drown before your eyes, you fooll” Cashelo smiled.“You’ve no idea how ridiculous you look,” he politely remarked.“Y'ou remind me of a great beetle trying to scramble up the slope of a trap.” “Good God, he’s mad!” cried tho other.“I’m a dead man!” ‘‘Don’t you recognize me?” asked Cashelo, still dangling the rope and coming close to tho edge.The drowning man made a sudden snatch at the roj>e and caught at the end.Instantly Cashelo paid it out, and the poor wretch, who had given up his hold on tbs woodwork, floundered about in the water till, more by good luck than judgment, he oaoght hold of an Iron bar and let go his grasp of the rope.Then as soon as he had got rid of the water that been choking him be broke out again: “Murder, murder: Help, help!” Then onoe more turning to Cashelo: “Pull me out and I’ll give you a pony Luckily for kirn, Cashelo did not he this offer.He had been thinking fast and had made op his mind that he could not leave even this miserable wretch to drown.Bo he flung the rope again and wound his end round a poet.Very slowly and clumsily Compton scrambled out on the pier and stood dripping, shivering and cursing.“You didn't pull ms out,” be said, thinking of tho “pony.” But Cashelo, uDoonedous of tho offer, made no reply and turned upon his heel Suddenly the other clapped his hands to his face and gave an exclamation of dismay.“I can’t go hæk like this,” crM.“Where are my—oh, there it Is! I say, sir, would you mind taking off your things and getting thatr—that black thing over there for me?I’ll make it worth your while—on my word of honor I will.” And he pointed to the tangle of black hair floating a few yards off.Cashelo# turned round in a fury.“Don’t you know me?” be ebon ted.“I’m Ralph Cashelo, whom you swindled and did your best to ruin, like the d-d villain you always were.I wish I’d let you drown like a rat.” As hs spoke hs strode away.He heard Compton calling after him: “Don’t go.I can explain everything, but I oan’t go back to the hotel like this— It’s quite”— The next word was lost, for he had turned the corner of the step# that led to the upper pier.As he walked along he felt a oomfort- av' fd'-w of magi’."Imlty.t’ui glad 1 fished him out, the beast,” ho said to himself.“Vengeance is mine —that’s right.He’ll get it hot some day Fancy my saving his life, though.It ¦ like a story book.I wonder what Katie would say.Funny thing how different women are.The brute killed her—1 wish I’d let him go under—but 1 don’t believe she’d have hurt a hair of his head.That was a rum thing—that false hair.He wasn’t faked up like that for nothing Been up to some of his little games and going abroad for his health’s Mike, I ex pect.Ah, well, it’s to Imj hoped 1 shan’t get the chance a second time.I don’t know what would happen.What’s this?By Jove, the police station! .Shall I?No I won’t—yes, I know by the look of him he’s been up to some villainy—I’m not going to hush it up.” He had left the pier, crossed the parade and turned down a bystreet Now, lift lug up his eyes, he saw immediately in front of him a plain stucco fronted building with the words “Police Station” over the entrance.The door stood invitingly open.He took a couple of step# toward it, then stopped.“Vengeance is mine.” he mattered.“Yes, that’s all very well, but this isn I vengeance; It’s duty.Anyway.I’m not going to let him off scot free.Seeing him drown s another matter.Besides it a Providence.Of course it is.I wonder how I should feel if I let him off.I know what I’ll do.” If the inspector, who was within, ruling lines in a large, official looking volume, had happened to step into tho doorway, he would have l)oen astonished to see a sober looking, well dressed gentleman tossing a penny into the air with all the dexterity of a schoolboy.“Now, then,” said Ralph Cashelo, “he.uls I go in, tails I go on.” And hs •pun the coin in the air.Many years before he had been shown a trick by which you could insure the result you wished without fear of detection.It was a de^t little movement of tho third finger as the coin shot up in the air.It was certainly ages since he had used it, but now as ho tossed—involuntary, so hs would have said—the finger caught the coin’s wigs.Nevertheless be looked eagerly os ho draw back the covered hand.“Heads it is!” he cried and walked in —Paul Newman In Minneapolis Tribune.CROP.WHEAT ¦ew Fermera Handle It In North Dakota, Mlanoeota and Otkar Section».The following interesting notes from •orrespondents concerning the wheal crop occur in Rural New Yorker: 1 have found that the most satisfactory and economical way to harvest a wheat crop is to hitch four horses to a §even foot cut twine binder of some standard make and cut 18 or 20 acres a day.It has not displaced hand labor in this country, because hand labor was not in vogue when this country was opened up.We could not harvest a crop without the machine.We can’t get competent labor as it is.The machine only increases the capacity of labor.We find the best way to stack wheat is in round stacks of atxmt seven leads each, hut very little of it is done.When grain stacked, we consider three m enough to go through the .dost farmers sell the bulk of ) when thrashed to pay expenses, usually held when I could, but t^e times have been rare that the price was more in the spring than in the fall.It is good policy to hold the crop back when the ruling price is below 75 cents.— W.S.F., Michigan City, N.D.wee sw Some thrash from the shock, which is the cheaper way, provided it is a dry season and a thrasher can be secured promptly; otherwise stack tho grain and take no chances.Make round stackp with the lower part of tho upper third projecting slightly, with the tops of the huudles higher than the butts, so that after settling them will be no danger of rain following tho stalks into the stack.When properly constructed and settled, such stack* will remain dry six months.Grain properly stacked can be thrashed at the convenience of the owner.An average of prices will show that the best time to sell is immediately after harvest, or when the rush is over, unless there is a mammoth crop, in which case it should be sold immediately after harvest.The most important things to do are to be prompt and thorough, taking no chanc es trying to save a nickel.— W.8.C., Winona, Miun.Dp.C.J.Edgar OFFICES and LABORATORY, 03 COMMERCIAL STREET.OeasultatJoo hours : 1.00 to 4.00 p.m.Dmaabb or Childhc* Only BotL Telephone.40 Full of Good Cheers.It is the business of a commissary in an army to see that the men in his charge have enough to eat, but when a commissary Is a fighter—and this uncommon thing sometime# happen#—his large house bold fares very much as some smaller onoe do when the CA>ok, general girl, house keeper and mother has poet ical or political aspirations.Such a commissary was one in the Confederate service in the civil war, anti an incident which took place during the seven days’ fight below Richmond is told in “Southern Soldier Storiee.” Instead of attending to his pork and meal wagons in the rear, he went to the front.There he was active to a degree that commanded the respect of his general He Interested himself so much in the movements of troops and in the controversy with the enemy that he forgot all about the wagons.In this service he had hie right arm shot off by a cannon ball.When nighi came and the men wanted something to eat, there was a good deal of growling, but when the story w as told of how their commissary had fought and how he had lost an arm in the lighting one of tho soldiers, a fellow with more humor than appetite, got up and cried: “I move that we sup bn three cheers and a tiger for the commissary that fights!” The throe cheers were cheerfully given, and there was no other supper that night.—Youth's Companion.The wheat should be shocked in round shocks aw soon as cut.Set ten bundles securely on the ground ; then break down the butts of two more, crisscross them on the shock, with the heads toward the prevailing winds, and press down firmly.Wheat shocked in this way will shed more hard rain than any long shock I ever saw.I prefer putting wheat in the barn or stacking to thrash to thrashing directly from the field.I think the round stack preferable I be-giu in the center and overlap each bundle about one-half, keep tho center of itack the highest, increase the height of the center as the stack increases in height and pitch on from all sides so the stack will settle evenly.If tho stack is to stand any length of time, I top out with fresh cut swamp grass, beginning well down from tho top, put on in layers, each layer overlapping the other.Then when the first shower comes, takes a hand rake and with the back, break down the butts all around, and the stack will never wet in if tho work be properly doue.I have seen stacks put up in this way stand in excellent shape until December.We usually thrash as soon after harvest as convenient.I think I would sell as soon as I could } get my wheat on the market.—A.N.| N., Hedgesville, N.Y.The only implement we use in cutting wheat is one of our modern binders, which will practically save all the grain If properly managed.One man to operate tho machhine with three horses, and another man to do the shocking, are all that are necessary to harvest 10 or 12 acres per day.If the weather is favorable, I usually commence stacking about ten days after cutting and put in ricks (two ricks in a set) with 20 foot foundations, which is a good size for convenience in stacking, thrashing and keeping.If I intend to sell the crop at once, it must be thrashed within three days after stacking or else It will be in “the sweat,’’ and if it get in that condition it should stand at least three weeks before thrashing, so that it will be thoroughly dried out.I much prefer this way of thrashing, as the berry is much nicer, plumper and will weigh heavier than if thrashed out of the shock, or just after stacking.The three things 1 consider tho most important in wheat harvest are, first, have tho wheat ripe; second, have the binder in perfect running order; third, have good men to shock and stack, and if the weather is favorable, tho grain will be safely harvested.—O.A.M., Seba, Ind.SHERBROOKE MARKETS.The Sherbrooke market was well at-tei.ded on Saturday, and the supply id new vegetal les vas large.Butter and egg» ruled the same and were iu good demand.The following quotations were ruling at Johnston & Foss, Hovey Froa.and Bray Bros.Butter,fresh prints, chi ice Creamery, prints Butter, per tub, good I Aid per lb., pure Cheete, per lb., dairy Cheese (good old) Chet se, per lb , factory Maple Sugar (old) New Sugar, New syrup per gal.Bees Honey, per lb.,boxes Honey, in large boxes Egws per doz., fresh Eggs (limed) Apples, per bbl Beef, per quarter Beef, cut Beef, coined M utton Pork, in carcase 6 Pork, ptr lb , fresh Pork, salt, per lb Spring Lamb, per quarter Ham Bacon Chickens, per lb Lettuce, doz.heads Fowls Beef Hides Fresh Haddock Fresh Cod per lb Flesh Salukn Fresh Mackerel Halibut Steak Salt Salmon Lake trout White Fish Lobsters Apples, per bushel Cabbage, each Potatoes, per bushel, new Celery, doz.bunches Carrots, per bushel Beets, per bushel Turnips, per bushel Onions, per bushel Turkeys, per lb.Produce ruled as follows : Highest Manitoba Patent F bbl $0 00 Second Manitoba Patent 5 00 Best Ontario Patent Second Ontario Patent Straight Rollc r Best Strong Bakers Good Strong Bakers Oatmeal, ^ bbl.med., whoh sale Oatmeal, Rolled ^ bbl.Oatmeal, Granulated Middlings, ^ 100 lbs Buckwheat Fl< ur, 100 lbs Graham Flour Cracked Wheat Shorts, per KM) lbs Wheat Bran per 100 lbs Provender Yellow Meal (coarse) Yelb iW Meal (tire) Oats ^ bush (32 lbs) Barley, K bushel Peas, K bushel, good Beans, K bushel Buckwheat Corn, r tuthel 16 it 18 00 ü 20 OU ü 16 10 ü 12 00 ü 12 13 ü 15 12 ü 13 00 ü 05 07 ü 08 00 ü 80 00 tt 15 00 ü 00 18 44 20 (X) 44 15 7 00 5 44 8 3 44 12 6 44 8 8 44 10 50 44 7 00 10 10 44 12 10 44 m « 44 13 12 44 14 12 44 15 00 44 20 10 44 12 6 44 4 5 ti 6 8 44 6 18 »4 20 12 44 15 12 4 4 15 8 44 10 00 44 10 10 15 0 00 05 44 40 00 44 40 40 44 50 40 44 50 00 44 40 80 44 1 00 15 44 18 G.C.* NT.—MANUFAÜTURJL» 0« — >A8H, DOORS, BLIND: 4realtr»vee« Hoaldtar*, am- 1 Kloor HoaihIb.BTulTowh Timber ^ ai «.•».wiâ for DRT PIN* ‘CT* BV.Of Ptetcry -?r»»t.Kl.•*»**»*>¦' ept»fn:«« *«t.IStv Machinery, etc Ü.W.Hyndman.A.G.Campbkxx Sherbrooke Iron Work' -IRON AND BRASS- FOUNDERS & MACHINIST -Manufacturers of- Circular Saw Mills, SHINGLE MACHINES, Hang Edgers, Bang Lath i m BARK PEELERS, PLANERS AND MATCHERS Shafting, Pulleys, Registers, etc.ZiF’fifpecial attention given to all kino* repairs.Shop 24 and 26 Water St., SHERBROOKE, Qui 0 WATER—Coun.Samuel, chairman, with Couns.Belanger, Fraser and Hebert.REAL;

for the many mysterious fires which occur and no one can give any account of.The event of the week was the marriage of Mr.W.H.Flint of Barrie, Vt., to Miss Baldwin, youngest daughter of Mr.Israel Baldwin.The ceremony was performed by the Rev.Mr.Hunter in the Baptist Church on Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, in the presence of a large circle of friends.The church was very prettily decorated for the occasion.The presents were both numerous and costly and showed the true respect of a large circle of the friends of the bride and groom.Mr and Mrs.Flint left town on the 3 o’clock express for Montreal, and will visit Washington, D.C., on their wedding trip.After the ceremony the invited guests were entertained to a supper at the residence of the bride’s parents.We take the following from

the middle of August, that préparai»'-ns may be made for the opening of school.” The colleges and other higher institutions of learning generally begin the school | early in October, and the term then is found then to he plenty long enough Under the present system in the public schools, parents, teachers ar d children lose the best vacation season of the year, and not enough is gained to mane up for the loss.School committees will do well to consider this matter, and see whether the annual opening of the schools cannot profitably be deferred for a month.We have no doubt that all physicians will agree with Dr.Galvin as to the advisability of making the suggested change.GERMANS ALARMED AT LORD CHARLES BERESF( )RD’S VISIT TO CHINA.London, Aug.24 —A despatch to the Daily Mail from Berlin says that Germans are somewhat alarmed by the approaching visit to China of Vice-Admiral Lord C.Beresford, who is going out as the representative of the British Associated Ch mbers of Commerce to study trade conditions and other matters T ie Correspondez says : ‘It will he the duty of our representatives in East Asia to watch with the keenest attention the steps and acts of Lord Beresf rd, who sees in Germany the the mo>t dangerous rival of British commerce and industry.He is worthy of our attention.’ Great Britain and Russia Have Compromised.EASTERN CRISIS NOW OVER.London, Aug.24.—The Daily Mail's Copenhagen correspondent reports that a compromise his been arrived at between England and Russia, the latter getting her way in the railway question in China and England securing concessions in other directions *In any case says’ sty the correspondent, ‘China must pay for all.’ London, Aug.23.—The Hong Kong correspondent of tho Daily Mail says : A British surveying party met with a hostile reception on Saturday between Deep Bay and Tai Moshan, near here.A thousand natives, beating gongs and shou'ing ‘Foreign devils !” closed the gates against them.Two Mavirn guns and seventy bluejackets were ordered out and the natives were given ten minutes to open the gates.They promptly complied with the demand.ONTARIO LEGISLATURE PROROGUED.THE CONSTABLES BILL PASSED Toronto,

were made to tho bill and one clause was remodelled so as to give a choice of oathi to those concerned.Manitoba Crop Bulletin MOST SATISFACTORY ISSUED.YET To many pai Advisable thaï a»78 The irents it has always seemed »at the schools should be opened after the long vacation in the early part of October, rather than at the beginning of September.Dr.Galvin of the Boston emergency hospital has recently written a strong letter in favor of making such a change.*‘In my judgment,” he Bays, “there is no season of the year when there is more danger of contractin acute infectious diseases in the crowd •chool room than during the warm of the first fortnight of September, me breaking in upon the vacation term in the latter part of August, to hasten back to the city to prepare children for school in the oppressive early dajs of Septem her, when, of all times in the year, children should be out of doors indulging in healthful recreation, is a menace to the children and a source of much inconvenience to many families.“Our public schools,’’he goes on to say, should open the last Monday of September.Then come the days beat suited for takiug up the course of study.Evety fall my professional labors increase by Winnipeg, Aug.24.—The Manitoba crop bulletin for August was issued to day and is one of the most satisfactory yet issued by the Agricultural Department.The yields of cereals for the year are estimated as follows :— Wheat, 1,488,232 acres ; 17.41 bushels per acre ; total yield 25,913,155 bushels.Oats, 514,824 acres, 35.02 bushels per acres.Total yield, 18,059,944 bushels.Barley, 158,058 acres, 29.17 bushels per acre.Total yield, 4,611,314 bushels.Flax, 25,000 acres, 14 0 bushels per acre.Total yield, 350,000 bushels.Rye, 3,198 acres, 25.1 bushels per acre.Total yield, 79,550 bushels.Peas, 1594 acres, 21.0 bushels per acre.Total yield, 33,474 bushels.Estimated total grain crop of the province for 1898 49,017,837 bushels.The Bulletin says : Perhaps in no y^ar in the history of the province has the productive nature of our soil been so noted as in the present season.Seeding time was unusually favorable, but for month or six weeks after the seed was sown there was no ratufaR.In many fields seed never started .grow until late in June, so th% r \e first week in July,pf’ from promis ing.Q ,ng the seconu week in Ju.y, when w had hot growing weather, giving crops really their first good start.From that date to the pres ent, growth has been marvellous.Far mers who have resided in the province for twenty years, have from time to time expressed astonishment at the change in the condition of the crops, until to-day the appearance of the (crops give as turance of a bountiful harvest.The most favored parts of the province are the North Central, the South Central and Eastern districts.The Southwest suffered much from want of rain, and never fully recovered Some fields in that district are failures others are patchy, an i yet good fields may be found even there.Reports of correspondents vary in all istricts as follows for wheat; North ' est, 10 to 25 bushels per acre; average 17.6 ; Southwest, 5 to 22 bushels per acre H /erage, 13.8 ; North Central, 12 to 30 bushels per acre, average 21.1 ; South Central, 12 to 30 bushels per acre, acer Rge, 19.2 ; East, 12 to 32 bushels per ucre, average, 21.2 It is hardly necessary to comment up on the oat and barley crops.The tables show that, so far as crop correspondents cm) judge, the yield will be above the average.The total grain crop is estimated at 49,017,837 bushels.NEWS FBOM THE CAPITAL (Special Correnpotulence to the ExaminkicV Ottawa, August 24th.We can understand the natural chagrin of extreme Conservative partisans at the ut qutlitied success of the efforts of the Liberal administration b* give practical effect to the Ions existing de-»ir«* for closer union with the Empire, more particularly as shown in the adoption of preferential trade and Impend penny p rtage, but we cannot und -rstand why they p ;r-si*-t in making themselves the laughing stock of the commu nty.The “I., William Mulock” incident of a year ago was considered by those who could not look very far ah iad, a most excellent j *ke, but a* a mailer of fact the amount of attention which the persistent attempts at ridicule drew to the Postmaster-General and his project, had the exact object which he desired of making the country and the Imperial au*h nties so familiar with the idea that when he went to London this summer to clinch the matter it was comparatively plain sailing.Then again, the manner in which a number of the opponents of the Govern-m *nt persist in their attempts to ‘guy’ preferential trade, isfunny.Only this week the Mail aiul Empire treated its readers to a column leading article to demonstrate that “the policy of the Liberal Government is only one of dr.ft from Great.Britain towards the I'nited States.It is designed to keep British and Canadian interest asunder and to bri »g Canadian and United States interests in closer touch.” Almost the same day that this oracular utterance appeared, there was published a copy of a cable sent by Sir Howard Vincent, M.P., on behalf of the United Empire Trade League, to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, expressing “the undying gra‘i'ud» r Walsh has had the power co remit royal ties on gold taken out of Klondike claims, and that he has been » xercising that power.Major Walsh has absolutely no such power, the regulation requiting the collections of 10 per cent, royalty is as definite as all the other regulations, and is being administered without qualification by the officials to tho best of their ability.ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME Another allegation equally without any shadow of foundation is that MajorWalsh has resigned because he is sick and tired of the wide-spread corruption and general difficulties of his position.While this statement may have originated in the honest ignorance of those who started it, it is now well understood that the Major only accepted his commission for a year.Administrator Ogilvie had been practically selected as his successor long before he went to England, and the present re-organization of the governmental machinery is simply a carrying out of the general scheme which has been gradually formulated by the Minister of the Interior, as he has hi c me informed of the requirement of the case.So far, however, the Conservative press, that has so industriously circulated the misleading stories before referred to, have failed to rise to the requirements of honest journalism by correcting the error into which they have fallen.that certainly appears settled is that the late administration has definitely dropped out of existence, and that the affairs of the Province will, for the next parliamentary term, be in the hands of new, though not untried, men, whose record for progress and knowledge of affairs is an excellent certificate for the future of the Pacific Province.C.M.B.A.ELECT OFFICERS.Quebec, Aug.25.—-At the evening session of the convention of C.M.B.A.the following officers were elected :— Hon.M.F.Hackett, re-elected grand president.Dr,

appeared as if he appreciated that fact and was endeavoring to cultivate the suavity for which Sir John A.Macdonald was noted, but his recent exhibition tf personal feeling in refusing to preside at the banquet given by the Manitoba Club, of which he was president, to the Govern or-General, was a breah that has attracted considerable notice.We don’t sup pose that it bothered Lord Aberdeen to any extent, but it has caused no little annoyance to Hugh John’s political friends.Distributing legal advice and services gratuitously among those from whom he hopns to receive future favors is all very well, but it will not take the place of the ordinary amenities of public fife.GOOD IMMIGRATION WORK.The report of which Mr.Pedley, supt.of Immigration, makes of his trip of in spection to the United

Minister of the Interior, and under the guidance of the representatives of the Government.Nearly every paper throughout that vast agricul tural district is publishing from week to week, most glorious accounts of the re sources and opportunities of the Dora in ion.He also found that the Canadian exhibit at Omaha was doing us an im mense amount of good.PROVINCIAL POLITICS.Provincial polititics are absorbing attention in Ontario just now, all interest being centred in Toronto.The debate on the address has considerably cleared the atmosphere snd the policy of the Government is now before the country in black and white.It differs in no material point from that outlined in the discva sion that has been occupying so large an amount of space in the press for the last month, and there is practically no question that another month will see the new legislation upon the statute book and the H>use adjourned until the new y ar.Provincial affairs in British C Jumbia are also occupying a very large amount of public attention and the kaleidoscopic changes from day to day are at this distance quite bewildering.The one point A welcome rain fell in the vicinity of Sweetsburg on
