The convention season Is at hand,
and few words ON the subject will
not be out OF place. To those that
attend the manner OF conducting such
conventions Is OF prime Importance.
When people go a long distance 10 at
tend such assemblies they usually do
Il for the purpose OF learning new
things and better methods. This fact
should be constantly In the minds Of
the officers. II too often occurs that
very large part OF the time Ia taken up
with routine work and In discussions
that are not instructive. We have
seen some unlmportant amendment to
the constitution consume the entire
time OF session. We have seen a
'hght" over officers take up another
session; we have seen the ylndlcatloh
OF some Officer become the principal
topic In another session. We have AT
tended conventions that were very
profitable by reason OF good papers
aud good discussions on horticultural
subjects. We have attended other con
ventions that appeared more OF
farce than anything else. From such
conventions we have gone away pain
fully impressed with the idea that the
people that had been TO the expense
OF coming from distance would prob
ably not do 80 again. The presiding
officer holds the situation largely In
his hands. II he be inert the work 0f
tho convention will lag. and foreign
topics Will be allowed 10 consume the
precious hours. II he be energetic and
understand his business, the speakers
and those engaged In the discussions
Will be held 10 the topics before the
convention, and much will be accom-
plished. Every presiding officer would
do well 10 study up on parliamentary
law.

A FigIt with Rats.

During,a food on the marshes near
Sittingbourne, England, man was
overtaken by the rush OF tidal waters,
and for safety he sought refuge in q
tree. He had not been long there be-
fore no was Mortified TO find number
OF rats swimming toward him. The
rats we're ferocious aud excited by
being driven from their haunts. and
they made for the tree with view to
seeking the same shelter which the
man enjoyed.
Not caring to,come TO close quarters
with the rats, the man took of one Of
his heavily nailed boots, and with it
he prepared TO give battle. As fast
ms the rats came 10 the tree they were
beaten back into the water, aud so
the fight continued until the creatures
were either killed outright or com

where.
The victor then put on his boot, and
when the waters had subsidized he
dropped from his perch and made the
best Of his way home.
