Canada, and speaking of a garden that
he saw in the Edmonton District, says:
"On August 23rd we had the pleasure
OF visiting the model seven-acre gar
den at Edmonton, owned and operated
by n Donald Ross, a typical Scotch
man, aud as whole-souled, good-na-
tured old gentlemen as you often
meet. He gave the Yankees each a
hearty h~andshake as we were intro
duced in succession by the Canadian
Government Agent, who was our guide
and pilot while at Edmonton, and TO
whom we are indebted for many cour-
tesies conferred. Mr.. Ross informed
us that he cleared from $500 to $1,000
annually from the sale OF roots, yege-
tables. flowers and plants. We here
state that We before saw such a
growth Of vegetables at that season or
the year. He said that he raised $50
bushels of onions to the acre. Beets
were growing as large as your arm,
turnips the size OF ones head, and
cabbages as large as a patent pail. Fol-
lowing are prices that Mr.. Ross gave
US as receiving for his produce: Beets.
90 cents per bushel; carrots, 40 cents;
onions, SIPS; turnips, s. per ton; cab
bage. 4 cents each; green corn, %
cents per dozen; tomatoes, $3.50 per
busnel; potatoes, Is to 80 cents; cauli-
flower. 81 per dozen; cucunbers, Is
cents per dozen; strawberries, 25 cents
per box; squash. 4 cents per ID, and
other produce in proportion. He kept
a dollhouse 12x1S0 feet, heated by a
furnace by means Of flues. One man
beside himself attended this garden,
except at time Of gathering the crop"
Agents OF the Canadian Government
are now located at different points in
the United States, and using their ef-
forts towards securing settlers on the
fertile lands of Western Canada. to
which the gold fields are tributary.

AMERICAN HEIREss I'M PARIS.
t~mpecunious Titled Parisians Drew Lots

tmpecunious Titled Parisians Drew Lots
to Decide Who should Marry Her.
Lillian Bell, in a letter from Paris to
the Ladies' Home Journal, writes that
the most shameless thing In all Eu-
rope is the marriage question, and
proceeds to narrate the experiences OF
a rich American girl who came to Par
Is with letters to friends. On account
of her wealth she was invited every
where by mothers Of marriageable
sons. but being unable to speak French
was not much Of a success. She went
to a convent to learn French, and was
shown much attention by the Duchess
de Z, who was determined that her
son should marry her. Suddenly, to
the amazement of everybody, the heir
ess sailed for America without a word
Of warning. The Duchess was furious.
You must follow her. she said to her
son. We cannot let so much money
escape The son said he would be
hanged IL he went to America. or IL
he would marry such a monkey, and
as for her money. she could go any
where she pleased with 1t, or words to
that effect. So that ended the affair
Of the Marquis de c.. When the
other impecunious young mobiles heard
that the Duchess no longer had any
claims upon the Americans money
they got together and said, Somebody
must marry her and divide with the
rest. We can't all marry her, but we
can all have a share from whoever
does. Now we will draw lots to see
who must go to America and marry
her. The lot fell to the Baron de
x. but he had no money for the
journey. So all the others raised
what money they could and loaned IL
to him, and took his notes for II. with
enormous interest, payable after his
marriage. He sailed away, and within
eight months he had married her. but
he has not paid those notes; his wife
won't give him the money!"

was mistaken; he forgot his dream OF
wealth. He, too, vas one of the poets
OF a financial age. Nor. lastly. can II

From the Westminster Gazette.
Henry George had a quaint humor OF
his own. and could tell a good story
against himself. During his Austral-
ian tour one OF his frienss in sydney
suggested to the secretary of a local
racing club that it would be : graceful
thing to send Mr.. George a compli-
mentary ticket for the race meeting
then at hand. The papers were at the
time devoting many columns to the
reports OF Georges meetings and dis
c~ussions on his doctrines, but the
sportsman had evidently not read them.
Who is MI. George?" he asked. 81

he's a man of worldwide celebrity"

tiers, Progress and Poverty 'sOh, all

ants devote themselves at first to the
care Of the larvae and pupae. and that
they take no share In the defense of
the nest or other out-of-door work nm
til they are some days old. This seems
natural. because their first skin Is COM

A CLERICAL PLAY.
All the Ec~ciesIastical Roles We're Fiieo
by Clergymen.

All khO
by Clergymen.
A crowded audience, largely COM
posed OF clergymen, assembled IN one
OF the most spacious halls IN Canter-
bury to witness the performance OF an
ecclesiastical drama by the Rev. Hen
ry Cresswell, entitled "The Conversion
OF England" says the London stand
ard. The day was highly appropriate
since Ii was the anniversary OF 81.
Augustine's conservation at Aries, n
the play vas given in compliance with
a suggestion to Dean Farrar by the
late Archbishop Benson, and as part
Of the celebration Of the thirteenth
centenary OF st. Augustine's ianding
in England. Although it lost consid-
erably from the lack of proper scenic
accommodation and adequate stage
room, the drama passed off ON the
whole with success. 1t consists or ten
tableaux, depicting the history OF the
conversion of England, from the scene
in the market place at Rome, when the
English slaves attracted the attention
OF Gregory, to the meeting Of Angus
tine and his monks with E%thelbert, in
T%hanet, the baptism Of Ethelbert at
Canterbury, the conservation or Au-
gustine and the consent of the Brit
ish bishops to cooperate in the work
Of conversion. The play has in 1t
much OF incidental interest, and both
the dresses and scenery have been
carefully studied and copied from ear
ly MSS and specimens in the British
museum and elsewhere, and from
sketches and photographs taken on
the sites represented. All the char
acters were played with much earn
%estness. The ecclesiastical roles were
filled by clergy, while all taking part
in IL are described as prominent
churchmen in the locality. The scene
outside the Forum at Rome and the
conference at which Ethelbert granted
leave to the missionaries to practice
Christianity in Kent were especially
impressive, and the chanting OF the an
them sung by Augustine and his mis-
sionaries as they approached Canter-
bury was also an interesting feature
OF the play. A second performance
was given In the evening, and the
drama is to be repeated. Any balance
which may remain after payment OF
the heavy expenses will go to the Can
terbury cathedral restoration fund.

MARRIED MEN LIVE 0 N
Interesting Statistics Compiled by
Noted German Scientist.


Persons who desire to live to a good
old age will do well to read an inter-
esting work on the subject which has
Just been issued by DR.. Schwartz OF
Berlin, says the New York Herald. The
doctor has given much time to the
study of longevity, and the conclusions
at which he has arrived are based on
statistics which seem in all respects
reliable.
He begins with the bold statement
that n one who desires to live for
four score and ten years should get
married. In other words, he claims
that conjugal life is a necessary con-
dltion OF longevity. Here are the
statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who had reached
the age OF 40 years the doctor found
that 125 were married and 70 unmar-
rled. or 10 men who had reached the age
OF 60 years he found that IS We're mar
ried and only p unmarried.
He next took 3S men, each OF whom
was In his 10th year, and he found that
~ were married and IL unmarried
Finally, he took IL men, each aged 80
years. and found that 9 were married
and 3 unmarried. 1t may be claimed
that no sure conclusion can be drawn
from statistics of this nature, for the
reason thai the institution OF marriage
is spread all over the world, and hence
ii Is natural to find the majority OF
persons married. DR.. Schwartz in re-
ply again brings forward some curious
statistics. These statistics show that
the mortality among bachelors be-
tween the ages of 80 and As Is as high
as 81 per cent, whereas among those
who are married it does not exceed Is
per emit
1T is evident" says a French writ
err. who has closely studied DR..
Schwartz statistics, that we must ac-
knowledge the potency Of these figures.
and that il we desire t live to a good
old age we should get married as soon
as possible. We should certa ally do
SO il we wish to live a full century, for
DR.. Schwartz cites the cases of fifty
centenarians, not one of whom Is a
bachelor. A curious fact, too. is that
these fifty centenarians were all wild
overs"
