hand Of welcome, that his wife and
himself should beg him to visit them,
that their home should be his.

Canada, and speaking of a garden that

ION August 23rd we had the pleasure
of visiting the model seven-acre gar
den at Edmonton, owned and operated
by one Donald Ross. typical Scotch
man, and as whole-souled, good-na-
tured old gentlemen as you often
meet. He gave the Yankees each a
hearty handshake 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 81 900
annually from the sale OF roots, vege-
tables. flowers and plants. We here
state that we never before saw such
growth of vegetables at that season Of
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 patent pail. Fol-
lowing are prices that Mr.. Ross gave
us as receiving for his produce: Beets,
80 cents per bushel; carrots, 40 cents;
onions, 1925; turnips, So per ton; cab
bage. cents each; green corn, 25
cents per dozen; tomatoes, $3.50 per
bushel; potatoes, % to 80 cents; cauli-
flower, S1OU per dozen; cucumbers, Is
cents per dozen; strawberries, 25 cents
per box; squash, cents per h., 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,

shells of q small marine small" the
largest of which was probably a half
inch in diameter and the smallest some
three-eighths OF an inch. She dropped
them into her pocket and forgot all
about them until several days after
ward, when an unpleasant odor in her
wardrobe attracted her attention to
them. On taking them out of her
pocket some fell on the floor, and In
recovering them she placed her foot ON
one. The act was followed by an ex-
plosion, quite sharp, and loud enough
to be heard all over the floor on which
her room is. Astonished, she conclud-
ed to try another, and the same re-
suit followed. The shells were then
brought to the writer. who on examina-
ton found the mouth of each firmly
closed by a membrane OF greater or
less thickness, formed by the drying OF
the animal slime. This had probably
occurred soon after removal from the
moisture of the beach, and the little
inhabitant of the shell dying, the gases
Of decomposition had quite flled its

He heard of II from one of his broth

come him to England, and was at first
incredulous. He had always loved the
handsome, willful boy, who looked up
to him with such affection, and 1t had
been a bitter source of trouble to him
to find him inclined to go the wrong
way in life. Raoul Laureston was
many years older than the earl, but
they had always been good friends. In
his light, frank way he had scolded
the handsome boy-now he scolded the
man. He had done his best to exercise
wise control over the earl. There
1t was with positive incredulity that
he heard Of the marriage. When Major
Vandeleur told him the news, the brave
soldier refused to believe it.
"Caraven would never have married
without telling me-" he said. He has
not written to me for years, but he
would have written If that had been
the case"
