the demands of the market which is
expected to furnish buyers, and the

Each variety has its likes and disliles,
and it will pay the grower to crafty
them.
In order to distinguish the different
types of potatoes, it may be said that
the Burbank class includes all white
kidney-shaped potatoes, the leading
varieties at this time being Morning

No Use to Dodge,

A considerable measure of fatalism
is great help to soldier. If what is
to be will be, why be afraid of any
thing?
A southern soldier describes man
in his company, "a little Dutch jew"
as the very incarnation of cool, i'm
pudent bravado in a fight" A consis-
tent fatalist, he summed up his faith in
one sentence: "You will never die till
your time comes"
"one day he saw me dodging a spent
mimic that came whistling uncomfort-
ably near.

piping voice. Watts te use to todge

VILLAGE LIFE IN CANADA.
Varied characteristics of Communities in
tho Dominion.

tnHrHCterlstiCa OF communities IN
tho Dominion.
Village life in Canada has not yet lost
It's rural characteristics, its country
quietness, its old-fashionedl love for law
and order. In the United States it 10
almost obliterated by the presence of
great industrial concerns, the pressure
of individual competition, the influx of
foreign emigration, the filing up of the
country and the crush of surrounding
millions And it is not n bad sign for
the future of the Dominion that amid
the international crises of this disturb
ing period; amid the storms of CONNER
cial disaster and the whirlwinds OF
financial panic, its village communities
appear as rule to be in the undis-
turbed enjoyment of quiet and slow,
but steady prosperity. And equally
valuable as national characteristic is
the law-abiding nature of these small
popular aggregations and the facility
with which justice is everywhere ad.
ministered. All things considered, II
is safe to say that in no country in the
world will morality, religious observ
rnce, contentment and comfort be found
more generally diffused than it is
among the village communities of the
widely scattered and varied province:

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A SORROW OF 'e2.

Into the moonlight he rode swift awny,
Bearing her kiss on his smiling red lips:
Fragrantly dying, upon his breast lay
A rose, fastened there by her sweet finger
tips
Booted and spurred and wearing the gray,
Boldly ho galloped and gayly he sang,
"I love you, my lovel we will love on for ayei"
Tender the words we're, and clear the notes
rang.
In at her easement the moonbeams still
streamed,
Dancing with fairy feet through the rose
vine, W
While the bright maiden reposing there
dreamed
OF her brave lover Just crossing the line
Well that she heard not the'hiss OF the lead
Piercing path through the rose ON his
breast,
Nor saw the gray coat, now bedraobled with
red,
Nor caught his last sigh, as he murmured:
"Celestei" .H.

stepped before Gen. Lee, without OBJ

Different Varieties and How They May BE

To the majority of people there are
only two classes of potatoes, the good
and the poor. Farmers recognize four
principal classes but with the experts
who make study of their development
the classes go far beyond such simple
division, while the number of varieties
is something overwhelming to novice

the New York potato exhibit alone

carried on to increase the quantity oi

minute or so, until thoroughly mixed.
Spread even and thin on strong, thick

Any kind of old paper that is not per-
Gus will do, and an old case-knife does
well for spreading the mixture. Lay
the papers wherever the flies are numer-

fresh. Another effective fly poison, it
is said, consists of the yolk of an egg,
beaten with tablespoonful each of
molasses and ground black pepper. Set

THE LOSS OF THE FALCON
The Peary Steamer Wrecked aud All of Her
Grow Reported Drowned.

ST JoHN's, n. f., Nov 2S.--ln regard to
the report that the steamer Falcon was
lost on the Virgin Rocks it can be said
that the story originated at Port Morien,
Cape Breton. The report was not verified.
The Virgin Rocks were not in the track Of
the Falcon. If she had been lost there, To-
cal fishing craft would have brought relia-
bic news here before this. The report may
safely be dismissed as unfounded. The
consensus Of opinion here among naviga-
tors is that the Falcon was struck by u
gale off st. Pierre on the night Of Oct. D.
and went down with all on board.
The Falcons crew of sixteen men were
all residents of Newfoundland, and most
of them lived at st. Johns. Their names
follow; Henry Bartlett, captain; Edward
Tracey, first officer; Thomas Snow, second
officer; Carl Fischer, chief engineer;
Charles Rankin, second engineer; David
Barry, fireman; John Wells, fireman;
George Kennedy, fireman; Lawrence
Hackett, chief steward; Bernard Wall,
assistant steward, and Seamen Michael
Walsh, John Lutters, Stephen johnson,
James Burridge, John Verge, John Gas
