They were in the city on Friday evening on their way and stated that the sale was one of the best ever held in this part of the country, It was stated that up till Thurs- $200,000 worth of cattle had been sold. The sale was con- S w , tinued on Friday and it was expected | that it would wind up with total sales at $300,000. The average per head at the sale was over $900, The party went on to Prescott from Kingston, when refused admit- tance at the Cape, and going across to Ogdensburg, they experienced no trouble whatever. However, if they had not been detained by the immi- gration inspectorsythey wofld have had a longer time at the sale, and this was the all-important matter to them.

E Fires of Genius In An Old Man N the year 1906 the English- speaking world had a most cur- fous experience, Charles Dick: \ ens seemed to some to have come to life, and written and pub- lished a novel which "in 'some re- spects was greater than any he had published in life, because more gen- ial, more hopeful, more real, less a caricature. The name of the novel was "Joseph Vance; an Ill-written Autobiography." It began with a scene in front of a London bar of a low type, in which two men got into a hideous quarrel over a "hinseck" in a glass of beer. A vile beginning; but there was something in the nar- ration even of this episode, and especially in the delicately self-con- science reflections of the narrator as he went along, that seemed to fill all the room that one waslin with a kind of mystic radiance. e read on in the book with perfect delight. The English-speaking world was hypno- tized by "Joseph Vance," and though it violated every supposed require- meant of the twentieth-century read- ing public, being rambling, inconse- quent, horribly "lite: . and 280,- 000 words long, it d by scores, perhaps hundreds, of thousands. Nat- urally people began to ask i! it was written by Dickens" ghost, and by Dickens' ghost enlightened and in- spired by the reading meantime of Hardy, Meredith, Howells, and James. And then the discovery was made that "Joseph Vance" was writ- ten by a man named Wi De Morgan, who was sixty-five years old when he wrote it, having spent all his life up to that time in ceramics, engineering, mech invention, and other unliterary pursuits. And "Joseph Vance* was not an autobio- graphy at all but a pure work of fancy, made real by observation, ex- perience, imagination. After "Joseph Vance" came sev- eral other books--exactly one a year. The reader, as he went on through "Alice for Short," "Somehow Good," and "It Never Can Happen Again," found himself getting somewhat too much 'of that delightful atmosphere of philosophic and psychic digres- One had the unusual experi- of 'getting stuck" in a book that one liked. The reader elt the necessity of living, for the proper reading of these books, in a more contemplative and leisurely age. They had "missed their century," as one misses a train, Reading them was like becoming much interested in someone's attempt to spin a thread finer and finer until at last the thread breaks and all is over. Many intelligent and cultivated peo- ple were unable to read them at all. "Joseph Vance," the first of the series, was far and away the best of At last, in 1910, came "An Affair of Dishonor," which was totally unlike the others, being episo- dical, full of happenings, unreflec- tive, but with a big incidental mean- ing, which was against war. This book proved that the author could write well 'in more than one 3 way. Somehow it left the world rather cold. Yet the present war has not yet produced a story of a sea fight that compares with the buttie story in that book, and probably will not produce one. Willlam de Morgan, who wrote these novels, is dead now at seventy- eight. His fire had burned brightly for a time, and dimmed again: He was himself a phenomenon; his books were phenomenal, and requir- ed a phenomenon in the reader's mind for their full appreciation. They may be better liked by some future generation than they are liked by ours. We cannot yet tell whether they will really take a high place in English literature, because we can- not anticipate the verdict of poster- ity. But they contain many delights, much curious wisdom about men and women; and they will remain a new demonstration of the fact that, under some mysterious natural process of hectic reanimation, the fires of gen- ius may flame up more brightly in a man's age than they have ever burned befor.. ence ¢€ Peterboro, the first city in the Province to take advantage of the enabling legislation passed last ses- sion for the establishment of a mau- nicipal coal yard, has made formal application to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board for an order au- thorizing an expenditure of $35,000 in that project.

How Education Prospers in Spite of Hard Climate, In a recent report of the Depart ment of Education of the Province of Manitoba, Canada, considerable at- tention is given to the rural school situation. The prairie provinces of the Dominion are notable for their magnificent distarces. The rural schools are frequently very far apart, and it often becomes quite as diffi- cult a problem to find teachers as to assemble pupils in the remoter re- gions. The work of supervising ichools so separated, in many cases situated far away from railroads and 300d highways, is in itself a task de- nanding not only exceptional fidelity but endurance. , Yet during the year covered by the report. the rural-school visited ninety-eight departments twice, twenty-three departments three times, and ten four times. Now and then he found a school closed without notice. held numerous conferences with par ants and trustees. Generally he met with a sentiment of co-operation. Ninety per cent. of the schools had school gardens. An improvement in the local supervision of tcaching is noted and commended. But the report does not stop, as such reports usually de, at a re- counting of the usual facts about educational progress If osks tha the same consideration be given to the rural as to the urban child, s'ne the future qualificat ons ¢f the one for citizemship are as ess niial as those of the other. And it point: s way to better training ef the rural child through betier treatment of the rural teacher. As matiers siand a present the teacher is not given du attention.

Educators have long great defects of. rural! "nglish-speak ng North in the tendency of county rict boards to put price t Jdeiency. Thera has been reaction from this idea in n the Eastern Canadian provinecs, it is a remarkable fact that the long est steps toward bringing the rural up to the average urban standard have been taken in the West. Touch- ing upon this subject, Toronto Globe recently said: "Educational work' in the rural districts is carried on out West under climatic difficul- ties more formidable than our own, but the people. are lgarning to adapt themselves to unfhvorable condi- tions, and carry on a process of in- tensely practical development." The resistance they encounter is, perhaps, the greatest spur to their endeavor. plac 1 pre ay Mare sala ded fur th ation 1 li dis reen toat eda America and he "Find My Hand There." Just because a man wears civilign { clothing is not sufficient reason to take it for granted that he is a stirk- er or is medically fit to be wearing the king's uniform. A 'minister's daughter, disdaining to have any- thing to do with a creature still in mufti, learned this to her regret when she entered a street car in To- ronte recently. The car was, as usual, crowded. A young man rose and offered his seat to the young lady who entered. "No," she sald, with a toss of her head and a scornful young man. "I wouldn't accept a seat from a civilian." For a moment the young man was embarrassed. "Have you any relatives 'at the front?" he queried. "Yes, I have two brothers there," she replied. This time it was the lady who was embarrassed. The passengers hissed and the lady made her exit. ai COMMITTEE OF ALLIES inspector | departments ° He | | An extension of time limit, not exceed- ~r RNP TO ADVISE THE U.
