In this class one judge is usually a farmer and one a butcher; these have similar ideas for the block test. Heifers must be killed if they take a prize, this being a meat show, and not a general or agricultural show. Educational meetings are all but unknown. At Carlisle there were demonstrations of dairying processes, but no word of explanation seemed to be given.

Some objections may be made to legislation in Canada to require all imitation of woollen goods to be marked so as to show the constituent fibres and other materials and the relative proportions of each. As an epitome of the Grosyenor Bill, in- troduced into the United States House of Representatives. the follow- ing extract may be quoted :â€"â€"â€"“All manufactures of goods or fabrics of any kind whatsoever made in imita- tion of woollen goods or fabrics, or, goods which when so made are cal- culated or intended to be sold as woollens or woollen goods, not made ,wholly of new or unused sheeps’ l wool. shall so mark, label or tag such goods, as that they may be readily distinguished from genuine wools, or woollens. as defined in the first sec- tion of this Act. That such mark. label or tag shall be so attached. as that it cannot be detachedexcept by design, and such label shall accurat- ely state in plain printed letters and figures the constituent fibres or other materials or substances of which it is composed, or the relative propor- tion per cent of each.” Why should not legislation along the above lines be enacted in Canada? There is surely good precedent for such action. Take for instance the various laws already on the statute book in reference to dairy products. Let me quote : (a) No oleomargarine hutterine. or other substitute for butter shall be manufactured in Can- ads or sold therein, and every person who contravenes the provisions of this Act in any manner whatsoever, ing twelve months and not less than (b) No person shall ' nd to any cheese or TH E SYSTEM CLEAN SESEFFECTUALLY; auv THE GENUINE F.

(d) No person shall sell, ofier expose or have in their possession for sale any cheese manufactured from or by the Use of milk common- 1y known as skimmed milk, or milk from which cream has been removed, or milk to which skim milk has been addeded. unleSs the words “skim milk ’cheese.” are branded, marked or stamped in a legible manner upon the side of every cheese, or package which contains the same in letters not less than three quarters of an inch high and three quarters of an inch wide. (e) No person shall sell ofier, expose or have in his posses- sion for sale any butter or cheese made in Canada and destined for ex- port therefrom. unless the word “ Canadian,” “Canadien.” or “ Can- ada ” is printed, stamped or marked in a legible and indelible manner. in letters not less than three eighths of an inch high, and one quarter of an inch wide upon (1) the box or pack-l age containing the butter or cheese ; ‘ (2) and moreover in the case of cheese upon the cheese itself, before it is taken from the factory where it was made.

It required a long and determined fight on the part of the American farmers to secure the passage through Congress of the so-called ”Grout Bill.” as every influence was brought to bear by the powerful incorpora-‘ tions interested in the manufacture of adulterated dairy products. The ‘ chief provisions of this Act is “ That upon oleomargarine which shall be manufactured or sold or removed for consumption or use, there shall be assessed or collected a tax of ten cents per pound, to be paid by the manufacturer thereof; and any fractional part of a pound in a pack- age shall be taxed as a pound; pro- videdwhen oleomargarine is.free from artificial coloration that cause it to look like butter of any shade of yel- low, said tax shall be one-fourth of one cent per pound.” Manutacturers ol‘, and dealers in renovated butter and adulterated butter are required to pay special yearly taxes. and each pound of the former is subject to the tax of one fourth of one cent and each pound of the latter to the tax of ten cents per pound. Stringent regulations are in force for the purpose of compelling dealers and manufacturers to sell these adulterated goods for just what they are. Why should not adulterated wool- len goods be sold on their merits just ‘ as imitation or adulterated dairy products are? Some peOple may consider such legislation harassing. but as John Bright once said, there are people in the world who think the ten commandments the most har- assing legislation that was ever en- acted, because they seem to run counter to their own peculinrities so often.

'Over the bricks she poured a gallon of kero- sene oil and let them stand until the brickshad absorbed all the oil they would take up. Then she took out two of the bricks and placed them in the kitchen range and set fire to them. They burned fully two hours, and the fire that they made was one by which it was possible to do any kind of cooking or other work requiring considerable heat. The lady says in this way it will be possible in her home to get along with the cooking. _washing and ironing without resOrt to gas."

Sanders of the Exeter Advocate and Mr. Robert Sanders. of Exeter, had the pleasure a few days ago of shak- ing hands and conversing with Mrs. Mary Ann Mills. of the 8th conceision of Blanchard. Mrs. Mills celebrated her 117th birthday on Saturday last. She was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland, on October 18th, 1785. Mrs. Mills and her husband came to Cana- da in 1857, and settled in the Town- ship of Usborne, in this county. Two years afterwards Mr. Mills died. and Mrs.Mills has been a widow for nearly half a century. They had a family of five sons and four daughters, and of these six are still living. The eldest son resides in St. Thomas, and is 77 years of age. Although physically feeble, her intellect is still unimpaired. She has been under the reign of five British sovereigns. Mrs. Mills never took so much as two bottles of medi- cine in her life. She made her own pills. She loved tea, and she sipped it several times a day, taking one- it several times a (lay, taking oueo‘ half a. cup of strong tea at each meal, ‘ with cream and sugar, but was not a cofiee drinker. Liquor has been used as a medicine ; she has been a moder- ate eater of fruit and vegetable diet; prefers milk to drink instead of wat- er, and is fond of fruit. She never fretted, was always contented. and never nervous. It has been her de- light to be out of doors, and a pleasure for her to work in the garden and in the field. Recommended and Sold by MacFarlane Co. A good sleeper, Mrs. Mills occas- ionally retired before sunset. usually getting up in the morning before sunrise. Her church denomination is Methodist. and up to 111 years of age she was strong enough in body to walk a quarter of a mile to attend service at the church of her choice.‘ It is‘ said of her that she was ever ready to speak in class meeting. It has been her custom to read the Bible every day. At 106 years she hemmed bookmarks on silk for each of her ’grandchildren, and could thread a needle without glasses. As an evi- dence of Mrs. Mills’ cheerful and ac- tive disposition, it is stated that when 106 years of age she would occasionally delight her grand-daugh- ters by showing how to step 03 a jig cn the floor.-â€"-’l‘oronto Star.

Some time ago the Owen Sound papers referred to a very old Bible possessed by a resident of that place. Around it clung many interesting and hallowed associations which made it dear to its possessor. The Post clip- ped the item and it caught the eye of A “‘I. Mr. Henry Edit, of the firm of Edit Spiesz, who informs us that he has one a great deal older. The Post had the pleasure of seeing the old treas- ure, and it indeed, in spite of its ap- parent solidity, looked like as if it might belong to the middle ages. Not that it was battered, worn and unreadable, for as regards its appear- _ ance in that light, it could probably stand handling for a century or two more. But the big volumeâ€"it weighs eighteen poundsâ€"had an ancient feel and aspect that would easily win it a place in an antiquary’s treasure house. The heavy and firm binding, substantial as when the day it was first put on, bad a grimy aspect, which was due. Mr. Edit in- formed us, to its being laid on the edge of the fireplace in the dwellings of the long ago. The corners are en- cased in heavy brass. in the middle of which there is a protruding piece of metal which prevents the Book from renting On its leather surface. These projections are quite worn.
