THE PROSPECTS IMPROVING.

Yesterday was so smiling and pleasant
o,d the numbers at the Exposition
grounds so far increased over previous
DAYS that there was a general feeling OF
encouragement and enthusiasm, and II
Is evident that with some improvements
and more general advertising the Fair
will be a grand success. This was so lar
felt that the ovid West changed its
mind and determined to stay longer
which saved making gap in the sttTac'
lions.
The races and the hunting VIII now
come on at time when additional at
fractions will keep up the progressive in
terest, especially if line of dispatches
are sent out TO the country papers every
dsy with a picturesque account OF the
DAVIS programme and all the items ana
incidents, personal and otherwise.
We have made suggestions to the man
agement not from a spirit OF iault'hnd-
ing, but from Tue lh'Si0s' '"O
in the success Of the Exposition, and we
now recommend that an excursion be ar
ranged for the resident correspondents In
Washington, who, in case Congress lakes
the expected recess in few days, could
spend several hours at the grounds with
satisfaction and instruction and write
up the Exposition for number oil
Northern papers.
Even If Congress does not take the re-
cess enough of them could be gotten TO
do valuable service
They could come down on the fast
mail, arriving here al 2'SO pm and re-
turn by the next train.

In extended travels over the New
Brunswick and Intercolonial railways one
has practical opportunity for observation
Of country and study Of those who are
sustained by it, and any one with half a
disposition TO fairness must admit that
our own country cannot anywhere show
finer farms or more bright and prosper
Gus villages. The manner, motive, con-
versation and characteristics Of native
passengers travelling between interior
settlements and towns tell as much as
statistics. Tie face Of this fine province,
as 4 whole, is filed with interesting pic
lures of thrift, amplitude, content Eng
lishmen, ScOtchmen and Irisimen seem
to have assimilateG and merged into
another race, tetaising the best qualities
OF each. The farming population as a
class average as well as, or better than,
our own in point Of intelligence and a
certain admirable quality of not unpleas-
ant assertiveness and self reliance, and in
many sections, like the central, western,
southern and southeastern valleys. the
beauty Of villages, shaded highways and
outlying farms cannot be surpassed in
the states or in any part Of garden like
England.-Edgar l.. Wakeman' Letter.

No Substitute for Hard Work.

The power to think for ones self has
too little standing in the schools; and We
do not insist enough upon the apprecia-
ton Of the worth OF the school work
Too often we try TO wheelle our children
into knowledge. We disguise the name
Of work, mask thought, and invent
schemes for making education easy and
pleasant. We give fauciful names TO
branches of study, make play with ob-
ject lessons, and illustrate an things. To
make education amusing. am easy road
without toll, is TO train up race Of men
and women who will shum what is dis.
pleasing 10 them. But there is DO sub
stitute for hard work in school If we are
to have a properly trained people; we
must teach the value of work and over
come the indifference of children to ig-
norance. The Century.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NEW YORK.

We copy from the Herald some pitby
passages anent the family quarrel among
Democrats in New York wherein the
main point is that disagreement about
local offices between Halls is seriously
imperilling the success Of the National
Democracy and the interests of sixty mil
lions OF people who are nearly equally
divided on great questions affecting labor
and the industries and underlying the
whole fabric of our institutions.
The Halls" occupy the dangerous
salient of The line on which the pending
contest is wsged, and still they have so
little patriotism as to cavil over the
msyoraliy and sacrifice their party and
the people to the selfish whims Of per
sonsl preference.
1t is unjustly put that Mayor Hewitt
could not carry the foreign vote because
be preferred the United States flag TO all
others on official occasions.
But whether bubble be set up for
Hewitt or Grant 1t amounts to the same
thing. The Democrats Of New York
city know perfectly well the Importance
Of their position and the necessity OF
harmony at this particular moment and
the petty quarelling will be considered
contemplate even though New York
is so enthorned In its self conceit that
public indignation must be strong to
even shakeit. The Herald very pointedly
remarks that to lose everything Else and
win the Presidency would be such vic
tory as to overshadow with its influence
any local defeat.
The politicians are bowling and
scratching each others eyes in their local
fight Let the people of the whole coun-
try demand that they cease their sense
less, selfish wrangle and unite TO fight
the Republicans.

Don't Write Cold slaw.v

Noticing a recipe for "Kauldslaugh, 1"
it occurred to me that | might enlighten
readers as to the meaning and original
spelling Of that word. 1t is composed Of
two Dutch QHolland) words and signifies
salad made of cabbage; kool pro
nounced cole means cabbage; sla pro
nounced slaw) means a salad, and the
proper name in Dutch is "koolsla." 1t
Is simply prepared; the cabbage is shaved
fine, seasoned with pepper and salt aud
then with little vinegar is heated in
pan until the cabbage is wilted. have
seen it written in recipe books as "Cold
Slaw," the word cold being used as the
opposite Of hot, and in that sense must
have been taken from the sound and not
the meaning Of the word.-Cor. Good
