In Looks, Size, Weight and Flavor the Fruit That Is Grown on the Island of Montreal Leads Every Other-- Small Restaurants In the United Statesm Sell it at $1 a Portion to Epicures. The famous Rocky Ford cantaloupe ~--the real article from Colorado--is a very humble customer indeed beside that monarch «of the melon tribe, the Montreal melon. Precious few Phila delphia breakfast tables the Mont- real melon visits. The swellest restaurants hotels | clubs and the country homes and vil- | las of the very wealthy are the places | where it is seen. A melon that costs | $1 a portion is too rich for the aver- age householder's blood. The Montreal is the king of the { melon tribe in looks, size, weight and flavor. It is the one melon grown that never runs the peril of striking a | glutted market, for the reason that | whatever its popularily, the acreage on which it is and can be cultivated is very limitéd. It is truly named, in that the only soil in which it grows to perfection is that of the Island of Montreal; and even there the melon acreage is prac- tically localized to two posts--Outre- mont and Notre Dame de Grace, There are not more than twenty- five farms on the whole Igland of Montreal on which these melons are grown, and the area of cultivation, { despite all the efforts of Canada's ag ricultural sharps to extend the indus- try, is becoming rather circumscribed | than increased. The Montreal melon is a true homé | body, and steadfastly refuses to grow elsewhere, no matter what the in- ducements and petting offered it. It is curious that the melon, which originated in a warm country -- Hin- dustan being its birthplace--should | arrive at its greatest perfection in { such a latitude as Montreal, but it is {to be remembered that the Montreal melon is no heaven-sent gift--it is | the product of eternal vigilance, lots of hard work and an infinite attention | to the details of cultivation. . The planting of the seeds is done in March in hotbeds. After a fort- night or so careful inspection is made of the plants, and if progress war- rants, they are transplanted into oth. er hotbeds. The third transplanting comes in late spring, when the plants are put into what are known as the summer hotbeds. Soon after the frames around the beds are pulled away and the vines, which by this time are well under way, are left to face the contingen- cies of the wind and weather. As for the growers, all devout Cath- | olics, each prayers to his patron saint for a hot, dry summer, which to the melon means size and flavor. The melons are grown in patches, each patch consisting of several beds. divided from one another by two or three rows of potatoes or corn. These serve as windbreaks to pre- vent the wind from rooting under the voung and tender vines and scooping them up. The melons begin to show fair size by the middle of July, and netting commences. Up to this time the mel- ons are a glossy green, The progress of the netting, which is carefully noted, determines the ex. act time when the melons should be picked and sent to market. The growers take no chances in this particular, but aim to move their melons just as they ripen, the Mont real melon being particularly suscep- tible to decay. To: obviate this every possible pre- caution is taken. and the big fellows are handled as if in cotton and wool. Every path over which the melons are wheeled in wheelbarrows is swept smooth and clean, with not a pebble or obstruction left. A jolt may mean a bruise, and a bruise means swift de- cay. One can't take chances in dol- lar-a-portion melons Fvery melon is carefully shored up with small stones so that the air can reach it from all sides, and there will be no earth on the ground during rinsning When the Montreal melon is nicked thows no sign of contact with the arth. Every melon is labeled, and thev are packed carefully in ldrge baskets holding from eight to twelve niece. Shipments are made exelu- | sively by express, it being necessary | 'o land the fruit on the market as jviekly as possible. The season lasts from five to seven | weeks. Despite the price, the sup- ply is in no way adegnate to the de- mand. New York and Philadelphia being able and willing to take every | melon grown on the island four or five times over. 9 it Girl Slaves In Canada. This vear for the first time at the Great Potlach in the Northwest, no Indian girls were sold as slaves. On previous occasions they were bought | and sold like cattle. Through the { Women's Missionary Society of the | Methodist Church have asked the At torney-General to enforce the law re- lang to polygamy with especial rel- ereire to the Chinese. One woman, a fourth wife, was bought for $350. { She was 19 years of age, her purchas. | er 60. 2 | "An ofticer, Whong Kong, signs papers allowing Chinamen to repre- | sent themselves as parents or guar- { dians and showing these papers bring these girls into a civilized Christian | country often to be sold again. These | facts are known to the police. Apples Were Big. Sixty-five tons of apples have been taken from 161 trees at the Cold- | stream orchards near Vernon, B.C. At | 43 pounds to the box, this would give a total of 3,023 boxes. This immense yield was of the variety known as Pewakee, and as the same quality of | fruit is retailing in the local stores at $1.25 a box, the returns from these | two acres alone would be something over $3,778, or $1,889 an acre gross. And a woman nearly always thinks another woman is ugly if she doesn't say so. A woman may have an old hat on { her head and a new one on her mind. | 'The amateur plays cards, but the | professional works them. i : WAS VAN HORNE MEANT? | Incident In Life of Railway Magnate Paralleled In Barrie Play. Did Mr. J. M. Barrie bave in his eye Sir William Van Horne, the Canadian railway king, when he made John Shand the railway r hero in What Every Woman Knows break into the Wylies® house to study the books in their library? The gqwestion is prompted by the printing in the Canadian Magazine of an incident in the life of Sir William which is an almost exact parallel of John Bhand's Bousebreaking feat. Ii Mr. Barrie had no knowledge of Sir Williams youthful escapade, the coincidence is rful, for both men broke: into libraries to improve their minds, both succeeded in afler life, and both were connected with railways, oo. og 5 In order to place the coincidence clearly before de reader, the Geadly parallel may be usefully employed. To the left is an account of John Shand's adventure as described by a dramatic critic, and to the right is the Canadign Mi ne's account of agazi '| the railway king's library breaking: 'This is the incident of John Shand: Lack money to buy the neces- sary books, and knowing that these are Ing idle in the Wylies' bookcase, John amt aed. - the desperuie scheme 0 ing in order pursue his ion : "The pictLre presented by this (the first) act is . from first to last the most delicate, humorous, and whimsical of Barrieisms : "It (the play) becomes (as it pro- ceeds) a little too far removed frown the realities and possibilities of life. But 'fable' is not Mr. Barrie's strong point." Here is the story of Sir W. Van Horne: ; "Of more interest are the incidents in the early career of this man of exhaustion energy and indomitable will, "In his boyhood he broke into the library of his native town in Illinois on a Sunday and copied a book he wanted from cover to cver, illustra. tions and all. ; "'I was not able to buy books in those days," he explained. 'I was employed as a messenger at $6 a month, which I took home intact to my mother.' Dil "How picturesque is that incident in the life of one who later became unrivalled in the planning of railway systems and the handling of mil- lions." THE FIRE MONTH. October the Season When the Trees | Afford Fue! For the Flames. October is the fire month in North- ern Ontario. From the branches of deciduous trees the leaves have fluttered to the ground weeks ago. Even the ever- greens have assumed a paler tint, while the scroggy cedars clinging to the crevices in the rocks are turning | brown in patches. The dry marsh grass has bent and broken at its lowest joints and fallen on the earth in thick undulating masses. | After a summer's parchipg heat the moss on the rocks and on the fallen tree trunks is crumbling through lack of: moisture. The wild things of the woods walk softly because the dry branches crack like pistols and the dry grass rustles like the waves churning on a gravelly beach. The hunters are in the woods, and though their hearing is dull, the ears of the Indian guides are keen. Soon the sportsman will drop a lighted mateh or knock the ashes from his pipe and go on his way. Or, in- stead of putting half a dozen pails of water on the embers of his camp fire, he will put only two, and one little | | the gypsies counted it they claimed coal will escape the deluge. Two hours after he leaves, if he looks back, he may notice a thin pale column of smoke rising like a silver thread. If he were on the spol he would see an ever-widening, smoking cirele, That night he has to run for the nearest lake, and swim to an island, where he passes an uneasy night, walled in by shores aflame with the dreaded forest fire.

Look ub look out; there are shadows The forest is donning its doublet of The willow-tree sways with a gloomier flout, Like a beautiful face with a gather- ing frown! "Tis true we all know that summer must go, That the swallows will never stay 3 long in the eaves, Yet we'd rather be watching the wild rose blow Than to be counting the colors of autumn leaves. Look high, look high, there's the lace- wi y, Thinking he's king of the fairy T a . As he swings with delight on the gossamer tin That is linked 'mid the boughs of the sun-tipped elm. ; Alas, poor thing, the first rustle will ring The pillars to dust where your pleasure clew weaves, And many a spirit, like thine will cling To hopes that depend upon autumn leaves, J Look low, look low, the night gutis blow, : ; And the restless forms in heetic red Come whirling and sporting wherever we go, "' Lighter in dancing as nearer the dead ! Oh! who has not seen rare hearts that have been Painted and painting in garbs that deceive Dashing gaily along in their flutter ing sheen With despair at the core, like au- tumn leaves. SOAars, Merrily pours, as it sings an and The west wind over the lan seas, Till it plays in the forest and moans and roars, Seeing no longer a mirthful breeze. So music is blest, till it meeteth a breast : That is probed by the strain while memory grieves To think it was sung by a loved one at rest,-- J Then it comes in the sweet wind in autumn leaves. Nor jn an hour are leaf and flower Strigken in freshness and swept to decay; Iy gentle approaches the frost and the shower J Make ready the sap-veins for falling away, -- And so is man made to as peacefully ade, By the téars that he sheds and the sighs that he heaves; For he's loosened from earth by each trial-cloud's shade, Till he's willing to go as the au- tumn leaves. Eliza Cook. SMOOTH GYPSIES. Worked Short Change on People 'In and Around Lindsay. : A commercial traveler who was in Lindsay recently narrates 'the tale of how "a wily Chinee" outwitted a band of romantic gypsies who had short changed him to the amount of $5. The gypsies were encamped outside the town for two days, and being well supplied with money flashed hig bills whenever they made a purchase. They worked 'in pairs, and about half a dozen merchants were flim-flammed out of money in making change. One night two of them had a meal at the Chinese restaurant, and pro- duced a big bill in payment. he restauranteur changed it, but when he was $5 short. To prevent a mix- un the Chinaman gave them another five. Then he went for the police. A visit was paid to the camp, and the two slick gentlemen picked out of the band. They were arrested and brought to jail. They wanted bail, but it was refused. Next morning they admitted they had received the correct pay, returned the five-spot, and were allowed fo go. The story got noised about town, and by night about half a dozen mer- chants were found who had been sim- ilarly victimized. The gypsies were looked for but by that time they had moved on to the next town. Fifteen-Year-Old Organist. Ernest McMillan, who is only 15 years old, has been selected as the organist of the splendid new Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto. He will begin his new duties on Novem- ber 1. . The young man is a son of a mus- cal father--Rev. Alex. McMillan, pastor of Mimico Presbyterian Church. When the boy showed early signs of musical genius his father encouraged him, and sent him to Oxford and Edinburgh University. Already the boy is an associate of the Royal Col- lege of Organists, and after he passes his last examination next May he will be a Bachelor of Music at Ox- ford. While in Edinburgh he suc- cessfully prepared one of the largest church choirs in Britain for the Christmas festival. Aged Nun's Hard Journey. Mother Filatriault, Mother General of Gray Nuns in Canada, has reached Winnipeg on her way to the Macken- zie river district for the purpose of inspecting the missions in the far North. Although she is sixty-nine years old, she is setting out on a journey involving a triplof 2,000 miles beyond Edmonton, through a coun- try where dog trains and canoes are the sole means of transportation. She will be accompanied by several Gray Nuns. Lions May Live a While. Sentence of death has not yet been pronounced on the large lion and two lion cubs in Riverdale Zoo, Toronto, which are doomed to die before long, but it is probable this will be done after the Humane Society has seen the sick animals. The society will visit the Zoo for the purpose of in- soacting the anipels. Although a married man may never have been a witness in a lawsuit he usually knows what it is to be eross- examined.
