WITH THE Housman. In the horse ring the judges had their work all cut out for them, We might suggest to the directorate that future prize lists should contain prizes forfoals of the year separate from brood mare and foal. It is difficult for the judges to pass a superiOr look- ing brood mare and allot the prize to an inferior looking animal because it has a manifestly better foal. Then again there is only one class for carri- age or roadster colts, and no rules are laid down for the guidance of judges, and frequently they are met with quality and style on the one hand and size on the other. \Vhichever born of the dilemma they select is almost sure to be Offensive to someone. In the heavy draft class some really fine animals were shown. Two very high class brood mares with superior foals by side gave the judges no small‘ amount of worry. Mr. Robt. Patterson eventually secured the coveted honor with an Ivanhoe mare of great quality and a very fine Craichmore foal. Mr. T. B. Laidley was second with his great brood mare by Scottish Champion and a dandy foal by Mr. Evans’ Craich- more Darnley. Mr. Laidley also won the red ticket with his great two year- old gelding by Lewie Gordon. In heavy draft teams Mr. Robt. Bailey stood first and second With his two great drawing teams. In agricultural brood mares with foals by side there was a. very good showing in dams, but the foals were prmciptlly by the coach horse Sheno. In the lot was a handsome three-year- old black mare by Lewie Gordon, owned by Thos. Deyell, with Sheno foal, that captured the red ticket. Mr. Isaac Fee was second with a. grey mare by Planet and Goodenough foal. Wm. Jackson showed a Glenelg mare and Goodenough foal. Mr. 13. Mc- Geough also showed a good bay mare and Sheno foal. In the two-year-old contingent Mr. Sheridan Rae was first with a. lofty grey by Finot. Nr. T. H. McQuade was second with a solidi black by McNair. Mr. Isaac Fee showed a good grey colt by Fred Barnum and James Kennedy a nice black filly by Elias. In the y'eair-olds Mr. Isaac Fee was the only exhibitor um won the red ticket with a sub- s'mdijl m-ui colt. in agricultural ‘XCnnh‘ 'l‘hos i)cycii was first Will) a "good pair of Lewie Gordous. Evans Storey was second with a pair of short drafters sired by McNair. J. H. FOWISI‘ of Fowler’s Corners was just outs1de the money with a handsome pair of general purpose greys sired by Ivanhoe and Glenelv. For average farm work this was one of the best teams we have seen for some time, being stylish and good drivers. In the carriage class there were a number of rare good animals. Mr.‘ T. H. Fee showed a breedy looking chestnut brood mare by Old Tariff, with Harold Hartford foal, that was an easy Winner. Mr. Jackson was second with a grey mare by Lapidist Chief and Goodenough foal. Sheridan Rae was just out of it with a big bay mare and Starlight foal. The two- year-olds brought out three well-bred colts. Mr. T. Laidley was first witha handsome chestnut filly by ganadian Mr. Sh'eridan Rae showed a gobd bay mare with foal by the same sire. Mr. Iluuuvvw' -__- - Star that had any amount of quality, though perhaps deficient in size. Mr. Geo. Gritfiins bay gelding by Elias had the size but was behind the other in quality and came in for second place. Mr. Roht. McQuade showed a. bay filly bY Muckle Wilkes that was herdly in show form. The year-aids brought out two entries. Evans Storey’s good bay gelding by Lipidist Chief and Sheridan Rae’s chestnut filly by Starlight. The carriage teams were rather a. poor lot, lacking in both style ‘and speed. T. Dsyell’s dark bays irecur-ed the first prize, while T. H. 74-‘.J Fowler’s bays came in Ior seuuuu money. Single drivers, 15}:â€" hands and mer, just had two coinpezitors, Mr. Thomas Calvert getting first, with a free stepp:ng bay gelding by Phil Rysdyk and Mr.' Isa-1c Deyell second with a. big bay mare. In the class for 15% and under there were no less than seven contestants. Robert; Vance showed his handsome Hackney-bred mare by Holderness, and was the first to catch the judges’ fancy. Thomas Calvert was a good second choice with an unheaded dark bay gelding by Abdallah. Francis Fee’s black mare by Grey Messenger had too much speed for her rivals, but was hardly up in form. W. H. Mitchell showed a clean bay mare by Canada Southern. George McBride and James Fowler both showed useful bay mares. Wm. Elliott of Mount Horeb was up behind a. speedy black pony, but was out- classed. - ‘ _-..- 6"”: unanimi- classeu. Style and speed were the requirg- ments laid down for a special prize for three-year olds, but Mr. John Fee was the only one willing to try conclusions in an open competition, and secured the honors for a lofty sorrel gelding by Canadian Star that could move along H" The number of entries in swine was hardly in keeping with the import- ance of this industry. However, some fine animais were exhibited by Mr. Robert Vance, Mr. J ames Kennedy, Mr. Thos. Fae and others. The uSual poultry exhibit was made, including ducks, geese. turkeys and poultry. She Becites an Epithalaminm Before Queen Mary and Philip of Spain. Virginia Cabell Gardiner writes a. story of old England for St. Nicholas, dealing with the marriage of Queen Mary and Philip of Spain. The following is an ex- tract from it: Rosamund could scarcely believe it when Ned came rushing in and told her that she, too, must go and recite before the queen. The quick walk through the ttreets with her father and Ned seemed like a dream to her. So, too, did the ar- rival at the bishop’s palace and the great hall where the long tables were spread and where the English and Spanish courts were, for the present, making the best of each other, though regarding with ill con- ceuled distaste each other’s foreign looks and ways. Pfiscntly Rosamund had reached the dais and had kissed the hand of her sov- crcitrn and of the king of \aples; for such bad:3 Prince Philip been created by his fu- ther, am ordjng to a paper read aloud that 11.011‘111" in the cathedral. ”1‘th name, my little maiden?” the queen‘ 3 deep tones were saying. 4x “Rosamund Walton, yodr niajesty, ” an- swered Rosamund, scarcely recognizing the sound of her own voice. “ Thy brother saith thou hast compos (d certain lines in honor of our mm riagc, Rosamund and the king and I would gladly hear them. Canst thou say them to us?” Rosamund looked up, glanced from Iary’s radiant face with its dark, shining eyes to Philip’s, cold and mysterious and wearing a forced smile, and somehow she felt very sorry for the queen. This feeling made her forget her embarrassment and added a thrill to her voice, and so she stood up straight and recited her simple verses, not knowing what a pretty picture she made nor that all eyes in the hall were fixed on her. And when she finished speaking there was first a little pause, such as Ned had made when she had recited it to him, and then the queen bent- forward to say, cor- dially. “ Thank you, my dear. " and a buzz o: praise was heard to pass around. Philip spoke in Spanish, and Mary turned to Rosamund again. “The king is very much pleased with thy verses, ” she said, as if there were no higher pride in all the world than that. “ le says the English maids are as clever as they are fair, and he gives thee this jewel to thank thee for thy fine poesy. And this, ” she added, taking a. very beau- tiful and valuable bracelet from her own arm, “I hope thou wilt wear sometimes to keep thee in mind of how much Queen Mary was delighted by thy poem upon her wedding day.” ' She spoke also some kind and encourag- ing words to Master Walton, and then the audience was over. Situation of the Northwestern Gateway to British India. The Khyber pass, the northwestern gato- way of British India, and one of the four chief passes which unite our possessions with Afghanistan, is the narrow winding defile, wonding between clifls of shale and limestone rock 600 to 1,000 feet high, which runs through the Khyber mnge, the northernmost spurs of theSafed Koh moun- tains, between Peshawur and J elalzibad. Its highest point is 3,400 feet above the sea on the ridge connecting the Khyber with the Safed Koh range, and forming the watershed of two small streams, the one flowing northwest to Jclalabad and the Kabul river, the other south-southeast toward J zimrwo, the last British outpost. 10,14; miles from Peshawur. The pass lies along the beds of these torrents, and, cs- pvcially in July and August, is subject to sudden floods. The gradient is generally easy. exuept at the Land Khana pass, but it is covered with loose stones, which be~ (folm‘ larger as the head of the stream is it is covered Winn mum; mum a, "nu -- we come larger as the head of the stream is reached. To the north of the defile lies the Khy- ber rzmge, to the south the Bum spur of the Snfed Koh divides it from the Bum valley. the river of Peshawur. The moun- :uin.< which shut it in vary in height from (3,000 to 7,000 feet. Here and_there on the rust promontories or rock which run out into the defile rise Buddhist dagobus, monuments of the time, acentury after Alexander the Great, when the“great doc- trine” of Sukya Muni reigned throughout northern India. Here and there "written stones” bearing Greoo-Bactriom inscrip- tions are to be seen in the mountains, while dolmens of unknown origin disposed in rings resembling the stone circles of Stonehenge rise at the entrance of tribu- tary gorges.â€"-London News. Most Costly Leather In the Market. ! The most costly leather now in the mar- 1 ket is known to the trade as “piano | leather.” American tanners years ago discovered the secret of making Russia leather, with its peculiarly pungent and lasting odor, but the secret of making piano leather is known‘only to a family 'of tanners in Thuringia, Germany. This leather has but one useâ€"the covering of piano keys. A peculiar thing about it is that the skins from which it is tanned are prepared almost entirely in America. It is a. particular kind of buckskin. The skin of the common red or Virginia deer will not make the leather, 8 species of the animal known as the gray deer, and found on'ly in the vicinity of the great northern lakes, alone furnishing the material. The German tanners have an agency in the west, which collects the skins of this 'deer ‘ from the Indians and the half breed hunt- :s, who supply the market. When the skins are returned to this country as piano leather, they cost the piano manufacturers from 815 to 018 a pound. The world's supply of this invaluable and nwemry material is supplied by the Kutzenman family of tannere, who have six, escahlish- ments in Germany, the largest in Thaila- A MAID OF WINCHESTER.

At any rate, petticoats of change- able, printed and brochc silk may now be obtained at moderate cost. They are not serviceable for hard wear, but are satisfacâ€" tory for use under nice gowns. Some very pretty plaid silks are shown for separate bodices. All colors are exemâ€" plified, but the blue and green plaids are most fashionable. They are usually lightâ€" ened and rendered cheerful by threads of white, red and yellow intermingled at in- tervals. Plaid velvets are also a. novelty.

Knitting is an old fashioned accom- plishment and has gone out of vogue since the introduction of machine made stock- ings, yet it is a. pretty and femininéoc- cupation, as well as a useful one, and the modern young lady fond of fancy work and having plenty of time to devote to it might well learn the mysteries of casting on, sunning, narrowing and binding of.

Silk stockings and silk mittens are highly desirable things, therefore, and the mm who can knit them is at a. pre- mium. Bought sill; stoglfings are unsub stuntial things, but hund knitted ones last indefinitely. Bought silk mittens are al- ways too broad and too short and are like- wise too loose in' the wrist. Knitting is pretty work and has many poetical associations. Add to those recom- mendations the more practical one that there are numerous knitted articles which are attractive presents, and there seems to be quite sufficient reason for the revival of the popularity of the art. Our grandâ€" mothers would hzwe been as ashamed of being unable to knit as of being unable to sew, and every woman sews. Today’s illustration shows a. gown of green taffeta. The skirt is trimmed on each side with three oblique bands of black guipure insertion, which meet in points at the back. The bands of insertion are edged with black velvet}. The close fitting bod-ice has a sailor collar and rovers covered with an application of black guipure. The front opens over a crossed chemisette of black guipure over green taffeta.

A woman should never blindly follow the lead of fashion, but should consider which of the several modes which prevail at the same time is most becoming to her and should select that, leaving the others alone.
