The so.called meat famine, which
already hasIbeen exploited through.
out the British press, has become a
matter of keen interest to Londoners,
who, hitherto, have not been affected
by the prevailing scarcity. A careful
canvass OF London shows that the re-
tailers, at the present time, are the
sole sufferers by the advance in the
wholesale price which amounts to a
penny per pound on all grades OF
meat. Ameeting of the retailers has
been called, which undoubtedly will
result in a uniform increase in the
price of meat throughout London.

that during coronation year it would

might provoke bitter controversy, and
as the declaration was not included in

better to postpone action until the

That Spelling Match.

Our young readers have doubtless
noticed the announcement in last
weeks Progressive Farmer, regard
ing the conclusion of the spelling
match, the prize for the first correct
spelling to reach us being awarded
to a thirteen year old girl, Miss Lin
da Shuford, Newton, n. G. Her YER
sion is exactly that pronounced cor
rect by the publishers of st. Mich
olas, (from which magazine we clip
ped the article), and is as follows:
A CoLoNEL's SON.
A right sweet little boy, the son of
a colonel, with a ruff around his neck,
and a plain red coat reaching to his
waist, n night paced up the road
as fast as a deer.
After a time he came to a pause
before a house and rung the bell.
His toe hurt him and he needed
rest. He was too tired to raise his
fair but too pale face, and a moan
of pain rose to his two lips.
. The maid who heard the bell was
about to pare a pear, but she put it
by and few with all her might and
main in vain fear her guest would
not wait. But when she saw the wee
one, tears poured from her teeming
eyes at the sight, for her heart was
touched.
"You poor dear, what ais you9
Why do you lie here? Pray, are you
dyingw
"No; not So" was his groan. my
foot is sore, and I am faint"

DIR YOUNG PEOPLE.
The Quest.

There once was a restless boy
Who dwelt in a home by the sea,
Where the water danced for joy
And the wind was glad and free;
But he said, "Good mother, Oh! let
me go;
For the dullest place in the world, I
know,
Is this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple tree.
81 will travel east and west;
The loveliest homes I'll See;
And when I've found the best,
Dear mother, I'll come for thee.
I'll come for thee in a year and a
day,
And joyfully then we'll haste away
From this little brown house,
This old brown house,
Under the apple-tree."
So he travelled here and there,
But never content was he;
Though he saw in lands most fair
The costliest homes there be.
He something missed from the sea or
sky,
Till he turned again; with a wistful
sigh,
To the little brown house,
The old brown house,
Under the apple-tree.
Then the mother saw and smiled,
While her heart grew glad and
free.
Hast thou GBoHen a home, my
All, where shall we dweIl" quoth
she.
And he said, "Sweet mother, from
east to west,
TkG|cyeliest home, and the dearest
ASAgha best,
Is a little brown house,
And old brown house,
Under an a~pple-tree."

A SERIAL STORY.
1.-THE mississippi Bubble" to Be Printed in
the Daily Star.

Beginning with its issue of
October II The Star will print
as a serial in daily installments
Mr.. Emerson Hough's notable
novel, The Mississippi Bub-
ble."
According to 'The Book
man." an accepted authority in
such matters, The Mississippi
Bubble" became the best selling
book on the American market
within two months of Its publ
cation. Since that time it has
more than sustained the high
favor with which it was then re-
ceived.
The book has its chief interest
in the career of John Law of
Lauriston, under whose touch
the whole financial system of
France in the days following the
death of Louis XIV was di-
rected toward the new Missis-
sippi colony in America and in
volved in it. That epoch in
French history is one Of the
most picturesque in the story of
all Europe. But ".The Missis-
sippi Bubble" comprehends also
pictures Of contemporaneous
life i'll London and the Canadian
forests. Law was in history a
most attractive and absorbing
figure. Mr.. Hough has given
him a personality which intensi-
fees this historical interest.
THE Mississippi Bubble" thus
comprises q view of three inter-
esting nations at most imper-
tant stages Of their development,
the career Of an extraordinary
and spectacular historical figure,
and q love story Of rare charm
and dramatic force. ~
