Of these, the Yang-tse-KIang ts the lap gest, flowing through extensive and fertile plains, and finally emptying into the Eastern Sea, after travelling a distance of over two thousand miles.Its discharge Is estimated at 1,000,000 cubic feet per second.The hanks of Yang-tse are crowded with towns and villages, the most famous of which are Nankin and the new treaty post of Hankow, \u201cDarning Needle\" Is Enemy of Insects, Not Children Don't be afraid of this wicked-looking insect, no matter how many fierce and wild stories you have heard told about him.He isn't half so wicked as he looks.And as for his voracious habits, the only things he eats are mosquitoes and flies and gnats, not to mention many other pests you would like the world rid of.He\u2019s called properly the dragon fly.Maybe you know him better as the devil\u2019s darning needle.Perhaps you've been told, when you wore a bad boy or girl, that he would get in your hair and sew your ears shut.Or maybe you've been calling him snake feeder.He gets this name probably because the female dragon fly when she lays her eggs glides down on top of the stream or lake and drops them in the water, as if she were feeding snakes.This egg sticks fast to water plants until the larvsn hatches, crawls out of the water, splits up the back, and, beliold\u2014another dragon fly.It will take more time and patience than the amateur bug collector possesses to get acquainted with the whole dragon fly family.There are something like 2,200 specimens, so authorities tell us, and 800 of these fly around in North America.What the hawks and eagles are to birds the dragon flics are to mosquitoes and flies.Imprison a dragon fly in a room, and the flies and mosquitoes will disappear.Bo, you see, he isn't such a bad bug, after all.PRICES ADVANCE FOR CATTLE \u2014 HOGS LOWER.Montreal, May 30th.Owing to a steady demand and light run of cattle, prices advanced 15c.a hundred pounds on the local live stock, market yesterday.A carload of the best cattle on the market was bought yesterday morning by George Beall for the William Davies Company at $9.90 cwt., while some sellers were holding ont for $10 cwt., for extra choice stock.This is a raise of 15c.cwt., over the previous week's best prices.The only other change of importance was in hogs, which were selling 25c.cwt., under last week's top figures.The easy feeling in this line is attributed to a drop in the English export market, and the continued large arrivals of stock at local points.In some cases the prices paid for good stock fell to $11.56 cwt., but the $11.75 cwt.price £tood as the highest paid yesterday.There Is no change to report in the condition of the market for sheep and lambs, the feeling being steady with a fair demand for all grades.Calves also show no important change ; exports to United States markets continue in good volume and local consumption is fairly good for this season of the year, so the trade is steady and active, with prices iirmly maintained all round.Sales of round lots of live stock were made at the following prices : Butchers' steers\u2014Choice, §9.40 to $9.90 ; medium, $8.65 to $9.15 ; common to fair, $7.90 to $8.46.Butchers' bulls\u2014Choice, $7.65 to $8.65 ; fair to good, $7.15 to $7.40 ; medium, $6,15 to $6.90, Butchers\u2019 cows\u2014Choice.§7.~ 46 to $8.15 ; fair to good, $6.15 to $7.15 ; canners and cutters, $4 to $4.-90 cwt.Sheep, light, SJc.to 9c.lb.; lambs, spring, $5 to $8 liveweight.Hogs^\u2014Selects, $11.50 to $11.75; heavies and sows, $9.50 to $9.75 cwt., all weighed off cars.Ontario Guarantees Special Privileges on Return From Overseas Responding to a situation created by requests from many young men who are training for teachers\u2019 certificates In Ontario to enlist for overseas service, Hon.G.Howard Ferguson Instituted an arrangement whereby young men training for the teaching profession may enjoy special privileges on their return to Ontario from active service abroad.In a circular Issued by the Department of Education it is pointed out that from time to time many applications were received from young men attending the secondary and normal schools and Fatuities of Education for their certificates, although they had not completed their courses, in order that they could enlist in the present war.This, it is pointed out,v would have lowered the standard for such certificates with a resulting injury to the schools.But Hon.Mr.Ferguson made a regulation that pupils in attendance at High and Continuation Schools in preparation for the ensuing Middle and Upper School examinations, and who desire to enlist for overseas service in the present war will be admitted on their return to a special summer course when necessary.This course will be provided without fees and travelling expenses for the pupils will be paid by the Department.A like advantage will be enjoyed by those who are in training at Normal Schools or Faculties of Education who enlist.These, on their return, will be admitted to one session of a Normal School or Faculty of Education, as the case may be, with exemption from fees and an allowance for travelling expenses and $5.00 per week for board and lodging.The condition is imposed on both classes of applicants that they agree to teach in the Provincial schools of Ontario for at least three years after having obtained their professional certificates or to re-imburse the Department of Education at the rate of one-third of the total financial aid for each unexpired year.His Majesty\u2019s TO-DAY ! \u201cTRILBY\u201d FEATURING CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG AND WILTON LACKAYE I Jane\u2019s Husbands (Vitagraph Comedy.)
