Bursting of Bubbles.

We have our seasons of speculation,
but the famous South Sea bubble craze
raging from It'll to 1920 was probably
the most delirious affair of the kind that
the world has ever seen. When the
speculative fever was at its height, stock
jobbing became the sole business of all
classes in London. A multitude Of
stock companies sprung up like mush-
rooms. Companies were started fo1
the assurance of seamen's wages, for 9
wheel for perpetual motion, for inprov.
ing gardens, for insuring and increasing
children's fortunes, for making look
ing glasses, for improving mali
liquors, for informing, against rob-
berries, for the fattening :. Of hogs,
etc., etc. Shares rose to amazing
prices, and it was no uncommon thing
to see them start at four pounds share
and rise to fifty pounds. When these
speculative baubies burst thousands of
families were reduced to beggary. A
few prudent men realized great for
tunes, but the general result was disas-
trous in the extreme. From that day
to this it has been found that great and
widespread speculation damoralizes
business and labor unsettles finances
and is always followed by period OF
prostration.

Looking beyond the province into the
further west we find the farmers with a
more serious reason for Encouragement.
Frost this year did great amount OF
damage in the Qu'Appelle valley. Or
rather, I should say that late sowing
and subsequent want of rain were the
final causes of the disaster, the frost
being the immediate agent It will be
readily admitted that when grain is not
cut until after the first of October it
runs good chance of being frost-bit-
ten, whether in, the Northwest or in On
tario. To begin at the beginning
of the trouble, the real responsible
ity for loss lies, to a considerable extent
with the losers. Most of the wheat
that was frozen was not sown in time.
and the delay was due generally to the
farmer attempting to cultivate too much
land-far more than an Ontario farmer
would think of cultivating with the same
appliances, The wheat never sprouted
in such cases until the June rain comes
on, and it was marvel that any of ii
ripened in time to escape the October
frosts. Fall blowing and April sowing
would have avoided much of the diff
Guilty, and these in turn are possible on
ly where the farmer is content with a
reasonable acreage titled. This lesson
has been impressed on the Qu'Appelle
valley farmers and others in the terri
tories this year as on the people of Man.

Very Big Oysters.

Philadelphia Times: This man, o.
course, was familiar with oysters, but
had never seen any Of our champions:
SO some of the friends to whom be
brought letters determined. to. show him
what could be done in this country
in the way of oysters and clans. be-
lieve there were about twenty at the
dinner and after the soups the door
was thrown open with bang and with
confusion two walters appeared bearing
an enormous plate upon which were
dozen oysters on the half-shelI. Each
one was over thirteen inches in length,
being the famous Long Fox oysters from
Old Point Comfort. One would haYa
served man for three meals. The,
dish was finally placed in front Of the
astohished tishmonger. who anxiously
inquired if it was the custom of one man
to eat so much and SO many. He was an

petite for the clans with which the wait

celebrated Groducks that have been
quite lately discover ed on the northwest
coast, and you can imagine the effect
when I tell you that each one was over
foot long, eight inches wide, and some
were ten, and all weighed from six t&
eight pounds. A dozen Of these steam

Suicide and sleepIessness.

From the Lancet.
Tho circumstances attending the
death of the Dean of Bangor-albeit
they are infinitely distressing-present
no novel features. The reverend gen.
tleman was man Of considerable in
tellectual power" which. is, the same
thing as saying that he was constitu-
tionally liable to intervals Of mental
depression. All highly INTEL ectual
men are exposed to this evil. A pen
dulum will always swing just as far in
one direction as it does in the other.
Great power of mind implies also great
weakness under certain conditions. The
marvel is$ not that great minds occasion
ally become deranged, but that they so
often escape derangement- Sleepless-
ness means not merely unrest, but star
Walton of the cerebrum. The brain
cannot recuperate, Or. i'm other words,
it cannot rest. Physiologically, re-
cuperation and rest are the same thing.
Sleep is simply physiological rest.
The. only cause for. regret in these
cases is that the blunder should ever be
committed of supposing that stupefy-
ing drug which throws the brain into a
condition that mimies and burlesques
sleep can do good It is: deceptive to
give narcotics in a case Of this type.
The stupor simply masks the danger.
Better far let the insomnious patient
exhaust himself than stupefy him.
Chloral, bromide, and the rest of the
.poisons that produce semblance of
sleep are so many snares in such cases.
SleepIessness is malady of che most
formidable character, but it is not to be
treated by Intoxicating the organ upon
which the stress of trouble falls. Suicide,
which occurs at the very outset of de-
rangement, and is apt to appear sane
act, is the logical issue OF failure Of nu-
triton that results from want of sleep.
It is curious to note how slsepless
patient will set to work with all the
calmness Of forethonsht Of intelligent
sanity TO compass his death. He Is not
insane in any technical sense. He has
no delusion. He does not act, or sup
pose himselft to act, under an influence. "
He simply wants to die, and, perhaps,
not until after he has made an attempt
to kill himself will he exhibit any OF
the formulated symtoms Of mental dis
ease.

have them carefully opened, preserv-
ing all their liquor; put the liquor in
to- saucepan and when hot enough,
scald the oysters, then take them out
and beard them. Now melt three
ounces of good butter and mix into it'a
teaspoonful of curry powder and a table
spoonful of four; when smoothly
mixed, add finely chopped onion and
stir gently over slow fire until the on
ion becomes tender Then put in the
liquor of the oysters, addinga gill of
water in which has been dissolved a
little of Johnston's Fluid Beef; add
the strained juice of half a1lemon, and
set the sauce where it may come to a
boil. Then put in the oysters, and re-
move the saucepan to one side of the
fire, stirring them gently while they
are simmering: A half minute will be
sufficient time to cook them. Then

Tests.

The reports Of the various tests of
COWS for milk and butter are calling
out; all kinds of criticisms. Our Coun-
try Home discusses the subject in this
way: "The one week tests of Jersey
COWS are interesting. But are they
useful? The COWS are fed specially for
these tests; thay necessarily require
extraordinary care, and are subject to
UNUSUAL risks. Being highly valua bic
as breeders, we doubt the wisdom OF
taking such risks. Conduct the chances

general treatment, oDd they would pos
scss decided value as indexes of the
quality of the animals under trial.

tests for breed.
In answer to the above ques'
ton We say yes, they are USE

for it, and if It could he proved that tbs
feed was all the difference there was
