Farewell, dear father. sweet be thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain;
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
We miss thee from our home, dear father,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow over life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere
We were weeping around his bed side,
For we knew that he must die;
1t was night within our bosom,
1t was night within the sky.
But human hands tried to save him,
Signs and tears were all in vain;
But an angel came and called him
From this weary world of pain.

A VALUABLE SUGaEsTIoN.-An intelligent
and careful Hartford county farmer has for
several years been engaged in experimenting
with view of ascertaining the best way OF
getting a field set in grass, especially one
from which the crop has been removed too
late in the fall to seed it in wheat. In the
spring he plows the field and sows it in oats,
clover aud timothy. If the land requires it
he uses little good fertilizer When the oats
is about foot high he pastures it with cattle,
which eat off the oats, and by that time the
grass seed has taken and the plants need sun
light and air By this method he has good
pasture until the middle of September, keep
ing the cattle off during the month of August.
He then has perfect set of grass, resembling
an old sod, and the field can be moved the
following year. Some of his tomato and corn
fields treated in this way have the second
year produced 2! tons of hay to the acre.
THE TAYLOR WILL CAsE.-The petit jury

during life, and after his death, which occur
red several years ago, the property to go to
the children of her brother, David S. Taylor,
Of Gorie, Ontario. Upon the death OF Miss
Taylor, year ago, caveat to the will was
filed by the other heirs of the devisor, who
contended that this will had been revoked
nd hat oh tod inf nnVpatOrS.
who are seeking to set aside the will, are re-
presented by Messrs. James j. Archer, j.
Thomas c. Hopkins, William L. Cooley and
John s. Young The counsel for the caveatees
are Messrs. Herman Stump, George l.. Van
Bibber and s. A. Williams. The amount OF
property involved is about $4,000. The case
will probably last for several days.
Members of the petit jury not on this panel

mercial Importance.
The Chicago drainage canal is the
most important public work now being
executed in the world.
Chicago occupies the vantage site Of
the largest area of resourceful land
which our race can occupy. Between
the great st. Lawrence valley on the
north and the greater Mississippi to
the south lies one pass two hundred
feet lower than any other. At the
heart of this pass sits Chicago. Nature
has given her claim to the title that
she has taken to herself-''The City of
Destiny"
There was time, says Harper
Weekly, when, at higher level, the
lakes poured their flood of waters down
the present valley of the Illinois river
into the Mississippi. To-day, stand
ing on the low summit of the water
shed of the Illinois, one is but thirty
feet above the rocky ledge of Niagara.
Here lay the physical opportunity to
renew the ancient southern outlet OF
the lakes, and to complete the circle of
deep waterways by joining the Gulf of
st. Lawrence with that other distant
gulf of the south.
The canal was projected primarily to
insure sewerage removal. The period
ical floods of the Des PLANES, which
forced the city drainage to Lake Mich
igan. have already been diverted into
a permanent channel. The sewerage
of population whose stock yards
make it equivalent to that of a city of
two and a half millions will be rendered
harmless by dilutiOn and borne away.
In addition. new harbOr conditions will
be evolved for port already first in
the country; and the bridge problem,
which has wasted the time of hundreds
of thousands, will be solved. The de-
mands of the exposition perfected the
railway service of the city. Street
transit. with it's network of cable, cleo
trio and elevated systems, has kept
pace with growth, and terminal track

crossings, has been inaugurated. The
