It is said that King Alexander peremptorily ordered the officers to send the challenges, and the king's. initiative is severely criticised in Servia, where duelling is not a national institution, Moving To The West.

Since Monday night's meeting, of the city council whisperings have been go- ing on between the aldermen, relative to the action of the finance commit- & new al tee, in not setting apart a sum for the salary of John Wright, foreman of streets. It was alleged that the foreman's salary had been included in the general appropriation made by the board of wprks, in which event it would be optional with the city en- gineer to continwe John Wright in harness; or he might engage whom he pleased to perform the work, for any period suiting the requirements of the department... As a matter of fact, a member of the finance committee states that John Wright was appoint- ed by resolution of council, and is in the hands of that body pending its pleasure, He can be dismissed by re- solution of council only. Regarding the neglect of . the finance committee to set apart. a sum for the foreman's salary, that fact does not affeét the position. a- particle, as the city trea- surer has a precedent to go by which warrants him in continuing to pay Foreman Wright his salary, because for eight years following his appoint ment by council, the finance commit- tee did not set apart a specific sum in the budget for the salary of the foreman of streets, whose pay came out of the general appropriation made tq the 'board of works." Death Of Hugh McCallum. After a three: weeks' illness of ty- phoid-pneumonia, Hugh McCallum, University Avenue, died at the gener al hospital on Wednesday night. Tha deceased was a young man of fine parts, and highly respected by all who knew him. He was a native of Campbelltown, Argyleshire, Scotland. He came to Kingston with his par ents some fourteen years ago. Short ly after coming here his' father died, and the widow and her young family found themselves in a strange' land, bereft of their chief means of support. Since that time the boys, of whom Hugh' was the second, have been a' great comfort to their mother, and deserve credit for their industry, and commendable good character. The late Mr. McCallum, at the time of his demise, was employed in the of- fice of the Rathbun company. He was a member of the First Baptist church, - and a devoted and active Christian. He took a deep interest in the work of young people's societies, in the Sunday school and in Y. M €C. A. work; also of late years he oe casionally filled preaching appoint- ments.

Origin of the Blake Family, Some interesting history of a fa- mous Irish ahd Canadian family is given in "The Blake Family Re- cords," by Martin J. Blake of Lon- don, a volume reviewed in The Ty- rone Constitution, en Irish newspa- per, of Nov. 28. The Blakes, the writer says, were one of the fourteen '*tribes"' of the town of Galway, The progenitor of the Blake family was one Richard Cadel, or Caddell, a feudatory of Richard de Burgh, 'the Red," Earl of Ulster, and Lord of Connaught, from whom be obtained grants of land in the neighborhood of the Town of Galway in the sixth vear of the reign of King Edward I., A.D. 1277-78. This {Richard Cadel, or Caddell, assumed as a surname the appellation of Niger, or Blake, which his descendants adopted, al though for many generations they al- so used the name of Caddell a» an alias. The word Blake itself, as readers of Chaucer and of the early English writers know, is merely an English form of spelling Black. The writer states that lineal de gcendants in the male line of Richard Cadel have retaiied to the fort to. his mother, being of a some what cheerful disposition, and of a hopeful Christian spirit. She and the bereaved brothers and sisters have the heart-felt sympathy of all who know them. Three Classes Described.

Labor is going to be as scarce as ever, and hence every movement likely, to. save time when the busy sea- son arrives should be performed with- out delay. A 'number of farmers in west have decided to grow ginseng, for ' which there is a ready market. The seed in sown in the fall in a carefully prepar- ed bed, in rows two or three inches apart. and set one or two inches apart in the rows.

Macoun, Central Ex mental Farm, considers the Wi - apple one of the most profitable to grow in the Ottawa district, as it grows to better advantage here than in the west.. The Macintosh Red is another apple that can be grown to perfection in this district. Both these varieties thrive well and are good koepers. A-few don'ts from W. McNeill, Lon don, one of the ledding poultry, fan- ciers in the Dominion : "Don't keep your chickens in a damp place; don't overfeed them; don't give them slop: py food; don't forget to look after them well; don't forget to them clean; don't forget to look well after your poultry house; don't forget to take a good interest in them." The free distribution of wheat, oats, barley and peas for sowing purposes continues with unabated vigor at the Central . Experimental farm, Ottawa. To date 8,842 samples have been sent out. About 20,000 more applications are yet to be filled. The wheat and barley is furnishdd in five pound and the oats in four pound samples. If a silo is used (and it certainly ought to be); and whole or partial soiling resorted to during summer, farmer will be able to keep on a 100- acre farm from forty to fifty cows. Corn, ensilage, clover and hay should form the chief crops grown on a dairy farm. Alalla, grown in a small way, will add much to the cow carryingce- pacity of the farm. pure breeds are the feundation of sucoess with poultry.
