There seems a great tendency always to shower encomiulns of praise, on anything from a distance, while dis- loyalty to home institutions, is dis- couraging to the best efforts of the Canadian output. \\'e are a growing mntry, a progressive country and in science. art and literature encourage- ment should be given to Canadian de- velopment. \Ve are no longer an ob- scure nation. and while We may not yet occupy the first rank. the progress We have made during the last fifty years should enihue. every (‘anadian citizen with a pardonahle. pride and fill him with loyalty to our (‘anadian institutions. No good citizen will eon- demn what’s good in other countries, but on the other hand he. shouldn't fail to be loyal to his home. The United States a ago was in a state of 9. it ranks as one of the g1 the earth. So far as p0 corned we are small in c The United States a hundred years ago was in a state of embryo; today it ranks as one of the great nations of the. earth. So far as population is eon- cerned we are small in comparison. but we have the territory and the material, : for a very rapid development and no man today can sit down and count on the possibilities of the next half cen- tury. ln telegraphs. telephones. rail- ways and general development we are taking no mean part. and we hope the time will soon come when no Canadian away from home will be ashamed to acknowledge Canada as the land of his birth or the land of his adoption. No matter what . our ancesters may have been. we are all Canadians either by birth or adoption. and we shouldn't he ashamed to say so. The big show in Toronto has passed l : into historyt‘or another year. and from ‘ ' start to finish they had extra good show weather. The attendance was large. over a hundred thousand being| on the grounds one day during the ex- 1 hihit. The fair is pronounced good and the grand stand attractions were evidently pleasing from the large at- tendance to he seen there in the after- noons and evenings. After all. it seems that agricultural exhibits need some special attractions to draw the crowds. and however much such features may he condemned. the mind of the young agrarian seems to crave for something out of the ordinary pursuit of regular routine work on the farm. The ath- letic nod trapeze exhibitions are eye spectators, and show the extent to which the human body can be controlled by long development.

That’s what some people say about the 5 press generally. Few people with any sense however will be guilty of mak- is to think that any newspaper wou indulge in deliberate lying when the whole reading constituency is anxious- . ly watching to find a flaw in its char- 1 acter. The success of any legitimate 1 newspaper depends to a large extent I if not wholly on the truthfulness of its representation of things ’as they are. The man who holds different views from another man and gives expres- sion to those views, is lying just as much as the newspaper which differs in opinion from some other newspaper. Everybody will admit that there are some scoundrels amongst the Grits, t but no man of any standing whatever, will say that all the Grits are scounâ€"l drels, nor yet that all the Tories are t hump-backed because of the weight of their virtues. Some newspapers, it is IS true, are not truthful, but taking them generally their veracity should not be p complained of. It is possible to con- ceiVe of prezwhers lying, but. preachers C l as a rule get credit for being truthful. t \V 3 .4 w“- _ It will never do to condemn everybody in a class because one may show him- self a little crooked. Next \Vednesday and Thursday are ' D the days of Durham Fair, and if loyal- h t y to Canada is essential to good Can- adian citizenship, loyalty to our own smaller institutions is essential to their r best material interests. This is not a big national exhibition, but it is the duty of us all to use every effort to I make it a big county show. The ex‘ I greater territory to draw from, nor I will the attractions be so numerous and it would be foolishness to indulge in fulsome boasting that would never 1 materialize and reflect dishonorably l on the honesty of the press which may be regarded as a first principle of its influence. The show here willbepure- j ly local and each exhibitor will have ‘ on exhibition the very best in his pro- dues of the kind. The display of weeds by teachers taking an interest in that feature of this year’s exhibition will have, or should have, spemal in- terest to every teacher and student of our public schools, as well as every farmer in the whole community. The l . fakir, as we intimated in weeks gone _ by will be an absent quantity. and the _ foolish ones who can find nothing bet- ter to amuse them than throwing money away on a pure game of chance I will have no business at this year’s fair. Considerableimprovementshave been made in the buildings and better‘ aceoinmodation for rattle than hasI hitherto been furnished is now otfered ~. to the exhibiting stoekmen. Every- t thing taken into consideration. the prospects are bright for a good local exhibition and let us hope there will be a good turn out.

Proper Treatment for a Sprained Ankle As a rule a man will feel well eat- isfied if he can bobble around on crutches two or three weeks after epraininz his ankle. and it is usually two or three months before he has fully recovered.

I loved to watch the lady smile ; It was supreme, the satisfaction With which Ilooked upon her, while Her dimpled cheek got into action. I never knew what things she wore.
