" ‘‘No, sir," was the verger‘s demure reply; "but there‘s the ‘one word more and I am done,‘ and the ‘finally,‘ and the ‘in conclusion‘ to come vet." tNo,; sic, another hour of it yet He‘s only on his ‘lastly.‘" â€"â€"A young man was waiting for a young lady at the church door. ‘‘Isn‘t the sermon nearly done?" he inquired of the verger. The citizens of Tweed â€" presented Mr. M. E. McKenzie, retiring minister of the Royal Bank, with a handsome club bag. 14 to. 3 feet apart in the row. Train the vines to stakes, using one stout stake and two crossâ€"arms or employâ€" ing some other method. â€" Cut back the vines if they grow too much to leaves and stalks. Sandy loam in good condition, with an application of manure plowed under, will produce good tomatoes. TOMATOESâ€"Start the plants in the hot bed; transplant to the field when all danger from frost is past, in rows 1 to 5 feet apart, with the plants SQUASHâ€"A good loamy soil will meet the requirements for growing squash, Plant five or six seeds of a bush \'Ariety in hills $ by 3 feet, using ?good forkful of wellâ€"rotted manure rinder each hilll Stir the soil reâ€" auently at first, later the growth will take care of the soil, provided all weeds are pulled out. For late squash the hills are prepared as has been deâ€" scribed, but are 8 by 8 feet instead of closer. f @~ Good varieties â€" of pumg)kins are Sweet Sugar and Quaker Pie, ‘ _RADISHESâ€"A quick, rich soil, such as a sandy loam full of rotten manure, is required by radishes, utd they grow slowly they‘ will have a sharp flavour ands be tough and woody. For a continuous supply, plant every two weeks in rows 8 to 30 inches apart and thin plants to stand 1 inch or a little more apart. Radishes can be grown between slowâ€" rerâ€"growing plants;‘ in this way two crops may be obtained on the same land during the same vear. PUMPKINSâ€" The pumpkin) has been found to grow in almost every sofl; but a good loamy. soil, which has had a sufficient coating of manure mixed with it and a_senerous forkful of manure placed under each bill, awill surely produce good pumpkins, Pumpâ€" ‘king, however, can beâ€" very‘| easily grown in the field, or with sweet corn. Plant four on five seeds in a hill, 8 feet from the next hill in the row and 81“1:? 12 feet from the hill in the next row.. Later, thin to twoâ€" or‘ ‘three plants to each hill PEASâ€"A rich, loose soil that has good drainage is well adapted for the growing of early garden peas in the spring. It is not necessary to app)\’y fertilizers that are rich in nitrogen, if the ground is given a good coating of manure. Peas are generally planted close together in drills, the drills beâ€" \ing 18 inches to 4 feet apart or more according to the method of culture. The seed in the drills may be 1 to 2 inches deep. If the seeds are plantâ€" ed in drills at a greater depth than 2 inches, they should be covered only, an inch deep at first; as they come above the ground the dirt can . be drawn to them. It has been found advisable not to depend ftoo much on the taller peas, as the expense and trouble of bushing is a considerable, item; and dwarf, or bush peas give, in a great many cases, as good results as do tallerâ€"growing peas. Good cultiâ€" vation should be practiced during the season.

The high pirces of these toâ€"day affect the farmers the same as other classes. However, at present prices of farm produce farmers could pay the wages demanded if they could get competent help.. Experienced men are not to be had at any price, and all work that could possibly be done by. machinery has been done by it for yvears. If cheapness would bring happiness then a quarter of a century ago‘ must have been the golden age. Farms were glutted with produce that they could hardly sell and only at prices less than the cost of production. Old St. Lawâ€" rence market would be lined with rigs that ‘had driven 25 or 30 miles with loads of food to sell, disposing at the #ollowing prices: «_ Eggs, 10c per dozen. U _.<Butter; 12¢ per lb. ‘Turkeys, 6c per lb. Geese, 5¢ perlb. Ducks, 450 per pair. Chickens, 30c per pair, i . Dressed hogs, $4.75 per cwt. . Beef, forequarters, $3.25 per ewt. Beef, hindquarters, $4.25 per cwt. Potatoes, 25¢ per bag. ‘ Apples, 50c per barrel for Spies, ‘Thousands of barrel rotted, unsold. Wheat, 49c per bushel. Barley, 26c per bushel. ' Peas, 38c per bushel. Oats, 18c per bushel. Hay, $5 per ton. Alsike seed, $4 per bushel, Farmers did not by any means reâ€" lish these prices. But the gradgrinds of the day marshaled hosts of figures to prove that a bushel of wheat would buy as many groceties and store supâ€" plies as it would in former years when sold at a higher price. But as a large number of farms were mortgaged at this time, and the rate of interest had not decreased, it took an. immense amount of wheat or other farm proâ€" duce to pay the yearly interest. But there was a.pother side to the question â€"if the fatmer‘s income was small, his expenses were light. 4 f (EÂ¥ ROB‘ ROYX) Aâ€"few years ago people talked alâ€" most incessantly about the weather, kut now their theme is the high cost ef living.

She had on board 130 soldiers with their familâ€" ies and 130 seamen. Near the Cape of Good Hope one night she ran onto some rocks, and began to break up. The soldiers were at once paraded on deck.=Some were told off to. get out the boats and to put the women and children into them, and others were told to get the horses up out of the hold, and to lower them overboard into the sea, in order that they might have a. chance of swimming ashore. When this all had been done, it was found that there was not enough boats to take the men, and so the men were ordered to remain in their ranks.Then the ship broke in half and began to go down,. The Captain shouted to the men to jump..over and save themâ€" selves but the Colonel, Colonel Seaton, said "to keep your,.ranks." For he saw that if they swam to the boats and. tried to get in, they mwould probably sink them too. So the men kept their ranks, and as the ship rolled and sank, they gave a cheer and went down with Over 1,000 C.C.M, Serâ€" vice Stations in Canâ€" ada. Look for thissign.

General Elliott who had been a cavâ€" alry officer in the 15th Hussars, comâ€" manded the troops at Gibraltar and The Spanish Army attacked Gibralâ€" tar on the land side, while the French attacked it by sea, but though they fought hard and with the greatest enâ€" durance for over three years, the Britâ€" ish troops defending the place were a match for them, and held out succéessâ€" fully until they were relieved by the fleet from home. 4 Gibraltar is a big fortified rock that belongs to Great Britain down on the South Coast of Spain. One‘ hundred andâ€"thirtyâ€"six years ago, it was beâ€" sieged by the Spanish and â€" French armies to. get her. Recently a British training ship, the Fort Jackson, full of boy sailors, was run into by a steamer, but just as on the Birkenhead, there was no panic or crying out. The boys fell in quickly on ‘parade, put on their lifebelts and faced the danger calmly and well and not a life was lost. her.
