A three-year rotation, corn and roots. grain and clowr hav, is well suited for the farm, where it is desired to keep a large number of cattle, and where-there is more or less broken land to serve as pasture. For the average farmer, who is engaged in general farming, a. four-yea rrotation consisting of corn and roots, potatoes and peas the first year, followed by cloVer hay, and hay or pasture, the next two years, is well suited. 0..

The deceased was in her 62nd ‘,I,_.L A: n..- Early one morning at the hospital there passed away, in the person of Mrs. Matalda English, one of Duns- ford’s most highly esteemed citizens. Her demise will be learned with deep sorrow and regret by all who knew her. The deceased lady was ailing for some time and was taken to the hospital on Saturday, where it was found that she had pernicious anaemia, which was the cause of her death. During her illness she was al- ways patient and kind and bore her troubles with true christian fortitude. Mrs. English was -33 years of age and lived near Dunsford nearly all her life. She leaves behind her three small children, the eldest being eight years, and the youngest seven weeks. The funeral took place on Sun- day, May 24th, 1908, at 3 o’clock, from h erhome to the cemetery at Duns- year and has been a resident of Ops for mgr forty vears.

It is necessary that Canada should assert her dominion over the islands of the northern seas, for, as the Premier observes, possession is nine points of the law. It is characteristic of our ambitious neighbors to the south that they have issued a map showing these northern ’ islands under American names. These neighbors are noth- ing if not aggressive, and we must always be on the alert to guard our interests. The territories in question may never be valuable as areas for settlement, but they are said to con- tain valuable coal deposits, which may be useful some day.

In view 0! the approaching visit of Mrs. Humphrey Ward to Toronto. we give a short account of her life. as we know some of our ladies in- tend to see and hear this great nov- elist. A woman does not exist who, per- sonally, so satisfies one's ideal of what the woman behind the book should be. First of all, Mrs. Ward has been particularly blessed in the matter of relatives, both blood and by marriage. Her father was Tho- mas Arnold, son of Dr. Thomas Ar- nold, the famous headmaster of Rug- by, and the brother of Matthew Ar- nold, the celebrated writer. Her husband, Thomas Humphrey Ward. an Oxford man. has‘unusual mental attainments and culture, and has for years written the brilliant art criti- cisms in The London Times, besides getting out an edition of “The Eng- lish Poets.” To crown all their good fortune, a son. born of this marriage, is a young man of great promise, and has carried off honors both at Eton and Oxford. Mrs. Ward was brought up a Cath‘ olic. that is. her early training was in the Catholic ‘religion, but when she was a mere girl. her father was converted to Protestantism and car- ried the child over with him. But, after some years, he returned again to the church he had abjured, edit- ed an excellent Catholic dictionary, and died a Catholic. Mrs. Ward, however, never went back, although THE WOMAN’S KINGDOM. Mr. Ward’s country home is at Stocks, Tring, near the village of Ivinghoe, which is said to ban: giv- a frequent visitor. Is it any wonder that, under the influence of these great spirits, Mrs. Ward has risen to be the leading woman writer of the century! If you’re only going .to be his nurse's mistress. then you’ll have an easy time, and I wish you much joy of it. When Tolstoy was asked, “who he would say was the greatest living au- thor ?” promptly came the reply, “ rs. Humphrey Ward, undoubted- ly. only his nurse’s mistress? You’ll be able to attend lectures, play bridge, afternoon teas or even- ing parties, while baby is being cared for by the maid who has to take him ofi your hands. Then he will be a nursling instead of a mother’s baby. :tttttttttttttttttttitttttttttittttttttttttttttttttt It has been said that if you want to keep your reverence for the great. it is safer not to meet them.

Deep fat should have ceased bubbl- ing before the fish to be tried is drop- ped in, and care should be taken'to see that the heat is not unduly re- duced by placing too many pieces in the pan at once. The fat must com pletely cover the rissoles or balls, which should be turned at intervals so that they brown a uniform color. brown crust. If a glue is wanted when the bums ere done, pull them out of the oven for a moment. brush over again with a little water or milk in which a mblespoonful of granulated sugar has been dissolved. Colour blindness is more prevalent among men than women. In former days needles were made of bone, ivory, wood and bronze. Lemons are amongst the most useful and wholesome of fruit. They have special medicinal qualities, the juice being an excellent anti-scorbutic. They allay irritation of the skin, and are invaluable for feverish thirst in sickness, for biliousness, rheumatism, colds, cough and liver complaint. Hot water will take out every kind of fruit stain.

Bread and butter and tea are often the staple food of poor families, be- cause they are so easily prepared; porridge would build up ever so much better. Butter, dripping or margarine are preferable to too much jam, good margarine being quite as digestible and nourishing as butter. There is a saving of fromi$10 to $20 on fine suits bought in Canada. as compared with the prices across the border. Coupled with this in- centive is the admission that in both style and fitting qualities ,semi-ready tailoring is much superior to that of the average custom tailor in the large American cities. Weaving has been practised from the earliest times, but the use of machinery only dates from 1733. Prunes should be stewed very slow- ly for some two and a half hours. Then add a little sugar, and allow them to cook for half an hour longer. If collars and cuffs are threaded on a piece of tape or string and tied to the clothes line it prevents dirty peg- marks, and also does not pull the ends of the collars out of shape. So many residents of Detroit have formed the habit of buying their clothes in Windsor, which is but dis- tant five minutes by ferry, that the United States Secret ServiCe was ap- pealed to by the Detroit tailors. For some weeks spies were sent across the river, and stationed within sight of the semi-ready tailoring store on Sandwich-st. for the purpose of learn- ing how much trade was being done with American customers. It is stat- ed that the proprietors of the semi- ready store very cleverly outwitted the customs oflicers by making use of an entrance opening on another street. The customers came in the front door, but they were never seen going out with the parcels. Windsor merchants talk of reprisals. They say that shoes are smuggled into Canada to saw a paltry dollar duty. Never put clothes away unbrushed. nor forget to pull and straighten out gloves, to roll up veils carefully. and never sit about in a walking dress in- doors, are golden rules to remember for the preservation of clothes. A few drops of lemon juice improves scrambled eggs. It should be addud while the eggs are cooking. In the properly appointed modern bedroom as little furniture as pos- sible is used. This insures prOper sanitary conditions, for the less there is to collect dust the better. (Continued on HAD HIS LEG BROKEN. PAGE THREE. four.)
