Strange to say, it was violently opposed. The friends of the existing ordinauce called attention to the heuyy incregse in the public reyonue because of the license fees. ‘Yes,‘ suid Mr, Crank that is true, but nevertheless our taxes are beavier than ever, and our peoâ€" ple, save the owners of hkoles, are poorer than ever.‘ ‘Well,‘ they rejoined, *Mr. Crank was trying to restrict the personal literiiea of the citizens of Tumbldown. The owners of the hules had a right to get a li.ing. Nobody was obliged to tuimble into them. But if any man wauted to tumble in, it was his inslienable right as a | Aweriean citizen to do so.‘ Finally, the council decided to submit the proposel ordinance to & vote of the people. ‘Thg newspapers did not discuss the matter, but allowed the friends and opponents of ths mensnre io ~r nt their arguments as adâ€" vertisements, and to pay for them. The Curistians of the town were about eyenly di.ided. Hulf of the clergy supported the prolubitory ordinance, Of the other hali the wajority kep 6 silent. Butsome spoke cut agamst it. The Rey. Dr, Sensational said that he was uot gong to butt his head against a stone wall. Moreoyer, he did not believe in rentoring temptation. Chrnstians needed temptation so as te resist it. The Rey. Dr. Silyer Tougnue said that he did not like to have hbis utâ€" ‘ tention constaatly called to the evils in the community. He preferred to look on the bright side of life. HMe would turn 1Js gaze from the holes, and fix it npon the stars. â€" He reminded his hearers that the angelic strains whieh startled the shepords on the plaics of Bethlehom were now reâ€" echomg round the worll. The Rev. Nir. Handsome, who had some owners of holes in his congregation, said that the evil was great, but tho remedy was inadcquate. The new law con!d not be enforces. Pro hibition would nâ€"t prohibit. Whereyer 1 had been tried the number of holes had inâ€" creased, This was difficuit to comprehend but the reyerend gontleman youched for l the statement. Well, the day for voting on the prohibiâ€" tion ordinance amived, and it was rejectod by an overwhelming majority, An a‘surb story this, you say. So it is. A lut of fools, you eay, were the people of Tumllstown. So they were. There was not ons redesming featnre about the holes in Tambletown, They were bad and all bad.

Take seeds for example. Many farmers who are alive to their own interests in other thing are careless in buying seeds. They seem to thir) that a seed is a ssed and there it ends. If there were more knowl: edge about seeds and greater care exerâ€" cised in their selection, there would be risher crops and better returns. Realizing this D. M,. Frrry & Co,, the famous seed firm, of Windsor, Ont., have embo‘ed in their IMustrated Anâ€" nual for 18907 much valuable informaâ€" tion about seed and their selection. It contains the information gleaned from many years practical experience in the seed vusiness, and the newest and best things about gardens and gardening. Such a book issued by a firm of unâ€" questioned reliability is of the highest value to every one who plants a seed, Although the cost of printing and emâ€" bellishing it with beautiful illustrations has been great, it is sent free to any one making application to the aboye firm. Their seeds are sold by all the leading dealersâ€"if your merchant does not keep them, send to them,. The day of the old bellâ€"cord on <trains is ipparently about over, owing to the in senious contrivance which has been adopted by the Grand Trunk Railway, in the form of a steain whistle in each car which the conductor may operate without leaving train, _ It will not only be used as a warning when the express trains are about to start, but will also, through the steam pipes, form a conâ€" nection and mode of communication hbe» tween the conducter and the engine driver. Should the train ** break loose" at any point, the whistle will not onlr warn the engineer of the fact, but will even locate the break,. as the length of the whistle before the air exhausts will depend on the proximity of the break to the engine. The pipes which are used are aimost hidden from sight at the side of the cars.â€"#Ezx. on havin Shorey‘s Clothing for my boys. heir Ciothing is all sewn with linen thread, the material is all thoroughly sponged and shrunk, and the workmanship is guaranteed not to rip. â€" Might just as well have it, when it doesn‘t cost any more than inferior makes.
