THE FARflEfiS’ COLLEGE. senor. nus con-pun»... View or the Ontario lode! Far-s. Who has not heard of the Agricultural C liege at Guelph? Certainly no one who has frequently attended the sessions of the It is favor- ite eubiect in that arena. Probably be- cause. ike editing e newspaper, nearly every one thinks he knows how to run an agricultural college and farm. The other morning. in com ny with Hon. 0. W. Rose. Minister 0 Education, and several other Toronto friends, we left for the city of (iuel h, to attend the closing exercises of the ntarlo Agricultural College. At the Guelph station, our‘ com ny wee pained by Hon. Solicitor-Genet Curran. resident Mills and Professor Dean courte- muly conducted as through the stables, the dairy department. end round the farm. ex- plaining the different operations of the insti. tution. A fter being hoepitebly entertainer! at luncheon. we proceeded to the convooe~ tion hall, where. at the re nest of President Mills, the di lomas were letr‘lbuted by the Minister 0 Education. Several local grizv‘leznen also took art in presenting the prize”. in the success Ill students. The hall was crowded by a deeply interested audi< once. The chief interest of the occasion culminated in a valadictory essay on "Woods." by Mr. .I. J. Ferguson. of Smith's Falls. and an eminently ractivel and eloquent address by the Minister of Educa- tion. We were very much pleased, interested and instructed by all that we saw and lwerd. The college and farm buildings nru very picturesquely situated. The farm rousisls of about five hundred acres. It is llol, as some people seem to think, simply a model farm. which might with care be made remunerative. There are the college and an experimental farm, in which a variety of experiments are carried on, in the growing of grain and other farm pro~ ducts. to obtain practical results adapted to guide farmers ill their farming opera- tions. Though important service is render- ed in supplying specimens of desirable kind-lot” grain end seeds to the farmers, yet the chief result is not found in the value of what is produced, but in the use in] infonnation diffused among the agri~ vulture} Community, by which the are enabled to (‘Ui‘l‘fli‘l past mistakes an con- ’ ilm't inc cultivation of their farms and «bdrm-z more intelligently and successfully. l 'l'h»stunlontainuhc college are not on: ilmll‘llciod in practical farming and cattle- raising. but also in those cognate branches of lillUerL‘ilgv that have an intimate relation to the work of the practical agriculturist. As the raising of the products of the farm. including horses. cowa and uheop, as well as making butter and cheese. is the most important of all our Canadian industries, it is impossible to overestimate the value of the influence of this college and farm in (liilueing muchmeedcd knowledge of better agricultural methods among our farmers in all parts of the country. «Christian Guardian. ' Tolstoi on Verse Writing. Coilnt Leo Tolstoi has received in Moe- row a visit from an aspiring young Russian poet, who had previously sent a copy of his ‘pl‘odlit‘thl‘lB to the great romencist and - philosopher. At this interview the count said:~-"l have read your book, or at least l (be greater part of it. llut I must tell you at once and frankly that I entertain a gen: oral dislike to all poetry, and for this ransomâ€"that it prevents one from giving a clear. intelligent and comprehensive ex- pression to one's thoughts and ideas. Why should we laborioust strain to conform our expression to the rhythmical and metrl~ :.:'.l rules of versification, when we can the better and more clearly convey our thoughts I in simple and lucid prose? It is as if. in- . stead of permitting me the free use of my limbs, you tether my legs. and make me bobble around the object of observation. In order to be succinct. concise. and com- prehensively expressive. 1 always strive so as to construct my language that every reader even he of the ecantieet intelligence can without the slightest trouble or reflec- tion. at once grasp my meaning. If I wrote in verse my primary and distracting lain-r would be to conform to the laws and rules of versifioetion. and my readers Would be left to sift out for themselves the thought" and ideas I wished toconvey. If I may be perfectly frank with you,’ said the count, with a particularly bitter ex- prJeeion on his face.

Canada's Fruit Display. Canada’s fruit exhibit is eke a scum of wonder to times who are not well informed on the capabilities of our sister country in this line. In the line of smell fruits r- ticulsrly there is no exhibit In the bull In which can excel or even equal the exhib of Canada Here are currents, gooeeber~ ries, raspberries. cherries and strawberries of the finest grade. both in the matter of also and flavor. The fresh fruit is just be- ginning to come in no . and this car's crop in ell these lines eppnera to exce even the choice bottled exhih... . former yearn. In this line the province of Ontario has an unusually Ilne exhibit. The e le exhibit alone from this province won entitle it to a high rank as a fruit growing section, even if there were no other fine specimens of fruit-growing ability on exhibition. When it comes to Canada's cereals more Is known in the United States of her wide expanse of territory, which seems to be the natural home of all the small grains. Here. too. Ontario seems to have carried off the first place in the matter of ageneral exhibit. for not only has this province an unusually; fino exhibitof cereals, but her dairy products also seem as if she has stnrffll tn carry off all honors in this three ti-m, Not satisfied with having the biggest Chev-so ever made on exhibition, Canada stepped in f rr 1’26 of the I33 prises to be awarded in this line. The "utter Production. In the matter of butter Ontario again bobs up into prominence. Her six shortâ€" horn Cows, now on a test of butter’meking capacity. have so far taken the lead; two of them having on more than one occasion given over 50 pounds of milk in a day, which breaks the rec-0rd in that line. Around the big choose individual ex- hibimrs have splendid samples of neerl all the good things to eat and drink whic i earth can produce or the ingenuity of man preserve after it has come forth. All kinds of dried fruits and vegetables are on exhi- bition bore, and the general character for excellence seems to be preserved in all the several exhibits. Of course everybmly has heard about the celebrated No. I herd Scotch Fyfe wheat which hourly all of Canada excels in the growth of. but not everybody knows that Canada also produces a splendid variety of white winter wheat which makes aflour remarkable for its whiteness and the amount of starch it contains. This winter wheat flour is sought for particularly by London pastry bakers, who think there is no floor on earth equal to this Canadian product for that purpose. Up in the east end of the Agricultural bullding, under charge of the Superintend~ cut Allen Fringle. there is an exhibit which makes the heart of the small boy sigh for cold wosther and buckwheat cakes. This ‘ is the Ontario honey exhibit, and here again excellence seems to have been the rule in selecting the exhibit. An experi- enced grower of honey himself, Mr. Pringle takes more than ordinary interest in the roduct of these industrious little workers. he various grades are all set apart and labclml. For instance, this dark honey down on the lower shelf of the cabinet 'tlr. l‘ringie says is made from the buckwheat blossom and does not rank in flavor with the honey made from the Linden tree flowers or from the flower of the thistle. The honey fillil'l from the clover blossom is rewarded an about the beat, both in color and flavor. Guelph Agriculture. In the Agricultural building is the Guelph Agricultural College exhibit which is exceptionally fine, both in the exhibits of the experimental work. which is illus~ traied by photographs, and the actual ex~ hibit of grain and other products raised by the young farmer. Of 'course no description of Canada's agricultural exhibit would be complete without something on her incomparable root crop exhibits. This department is under the charge of Mr. James Barclay, a successful farmer of Ontario. For want of space in the Agricultural building Mr. Barclay has installed his exhibit in the north annex to the Horticultural building. liars. although it Is nearly time for a new crop of all those rmts to come around, the exhibit of last year's crop is still sound and hoalthylooking. Here are potatoes. mtrbagss. carrots, beets, onions, in fact almost every sort of vegetable whi‘ grows In the ground and of a size and quality . which necessitates their being seen to be fully a )prsclated. Mr. Barole can give facts about the fattening quellt of these root crops which seem wonderful to the farmer who has elwe s relied upon corn as ' the only material wh ch would add M to animals during the winter. Ores of the Canadian Ill-0e. In the Mines building Cenede also has a fine exhibit of the ores of the ions metals, as well as the more generally usent been metals. In some lines the exhibits are of ores peculiar to that section of country. As an instance. (ls nickel and Istinuin ores from the Sedbu mines of terio. There is one ingot nickel in this exhibit weighing (500 pounds. Here. ton. are due specimens of asbestos and mice from the province of Quebee There is a very fine exhibit of lurn or graphite, which comes from uekln county. user Ottawa. hon these deposits sense nearly all the plumbago east! by American manufacturers of lead pencils and othc arttel. la which plenibego is British Columbia has arteh and valuable Id exhibit. and Commissioner Charles I lite . new we "MM-Wm . ‘lltelnahstlseem ’ the Ma's exhiflt le % theyheviectetledte eeease Women'st . ’l'hleexhi is exceedingly esedl aliens wee-k. pahlatheneediewasb end the like are very tasteful is desks and finely executed.

In the on building Canada has a very creditable bit in e loco- motive end train of case from the Canadian Pacific to llaebin hall Canada has also made e creditable spla and her exhibit in this line has el y broqht forth results in bringing orders to theiadiv duel exhibitors from old Euro countries where it would naturally supposed It would be next to impossible for a new country to find a market for manufactured goods.

The buffalo. t e elk. the mountain sheep, the deer. the moose. are all represented by fine specimens of their kind. Probably the finest bufielo robe now In existence le among the exhibits from the North-west Territory. This robe is unusually large and of the finest grade of hair. It is valued at $500. All the provinces will have fine disple of live stock when that exhibit is formal y opened to the public in August. This sketch would be incomplete with- out some account of the Canadian vilion on the east side of the grounds. ere the Dominion Government has erected a very cozy home for visiting Canadians, and the representatives of the various provinces have fitted up rooms for special use. Here 0. W. Young cilicial reporter for Ontario, and Mr. Smit . the Dominion press agent, have their offices and take pleunre in furnishing informatlon respecting their several departments. Altogether the Canadian exhibit is ex- ceptionally good in all the departmentc at the Fair. and will undoubtedly result in attracting many people to this promising country. Some Pelmlstry Pointers. Square or epotulated fingers, in the sci- ence of palmistry, denote the philosopr- cal and practical temperament. Tape;- 5,“. gen signify an artistic temperament, and very pointed digits are a sure sign of the dreamy. psychical nature. Much is learned by the general quality and configuration of the hand and palm as well as by the lines which cross the latter. The life line run- ning around the base of the th lmb denotes long or short life, good or ill health, ec- oording as it is long or short, clear and un- broken or otherwise. The “heart line,” runnin across the palm nearest the base of the rigors. signifies the quality of the possessor‘s emotional nature. also the kind of love she will give and receive. This will be enduring or temporary accordin to whether the line be long and clear. fork or crossed and chained. Below this is the head line, which Indicates the mental and moral qualities and achievements and de- ficiencies. The line of fate runs perpgn. dicularly across the middle of the palm and is a very important factor in the happiness or unhappiness of its owner. It should be clear and narrow. nnohelned and uncroseed by the fine wrinkles which score so many palms, and it should never come to an end on the line of the heart, since this signifies disappointment in love. A cross on the "Mount of Mercury," which is just at the base of the fore or index finger, is an nu. failing sign of a happy mamag‘ e. bCARFPiN AND TIE. J ames Irving Crabbe, the lecturer on Ja- pan.

ONE ON Us.-â€"-Wc had a telephone mes sage from Clinch Valley but ’l‘uceday to the effect that the people of that town were go | ing to hold a public meeting on the subject of admitting Arizona to statehood, and that we were wanted as one of the speakers. We therefore gliny saddled our cayuse, put our speech In our pocket and started out. Just as we were ready to go. the city clerk sent over to borrow our office dictionary to see how the word “eventuate” was spelled, and in fooling around we forgot to strap on our guns. We were two miles out of town when we minced them, and then con. cluded in trust to the speed of our mule in stead of going back. It turned out to be a very foolish conclusion on our part. We reached the crossing of Spike creek without incident. but while ascending the bank on the north side acritter stepped out from behind a bush. leveled two guns at us and ordered us to get down. We hold our arms aboVe our head while he turned our pockets wrong side out. We had almost a dollar in cash. but the avari- cious critter was disappointed and indig- nant and made some awful threats. We tried to put In a I) watch to him etISO. but he wouldn’t have it. He was about to let us off. when he came across that speech. He was one of the few men in this territory who are opposed to admission. and of course he wanted to make it as hot as poe- eihle for us. While he sat on a rock witha gun in either hand and one of our best cigars In his month. we were compelled to deliver the speech. He frequently inter rupted us to call us a liar and a sooundrel. but never to applaud. The speech is timed for m minutes. and the unfeeling ecouudrcl insisted on our re- peating It three times over. While he thought he know us as editor of Tux KICK- ltlt he wasn‘t quite sure. and it is needless to say we lied about it and claimed to run a poker room. We returned home instead of going to Clinch Valley. We have not our efleire in shape to leave the omoe for four or five days. and tomorrow we start out.
