constantly these expert horsewomen'

accidents, for scarcely a day passes
that we do not hear of some young

twineth. But it is no joking matter,
for the fair driuer,s friends and fam
lily, to have her picked up for dead,
with some injury to her good looks
past repair. Ear 1t be that simple
recklessness is the cause of these many
catastrophes, or is 1t ignorance OF the
science of managing a horse? 1t is as
much the fashion nowadays for girls
to ride and drive as 1t is for them to
play the piano and belong to a thou

every girls lot to be a good and safe

The Radiance Plum.

Al a rule Seeding plums have not

Radiance, extending over a number OF

escaping the late spring frosts in the
north. In color it is light red and yellow,
of good quality and a fine shipper. The
writer has fruited the Radiance but a
single season, but 1t is so promising that
trees will be set in considerable number
as soon as o~btainable. We believe 1t will
not be offered by nurserymen until the
spring of 1905 and then the trees will be
high In price. As 1t bears early, it will
pay plum growers everywhere to give the
variety a trial.

SHUTTING OFF THE SUPPLY.
Agent Of the Water Department are Kspt
Busy at Present Time.

Now that the ice and snow have In
measure disappeared the water inspectors
are shutting off the supply Of the aqua
pura furnished by the city to those who
have not paid the water tax.
Most OF the cases attended TO as yet
are OF small dwelling houses and owners
have left the city, and have forgotten
that they are taxed for the precious
fluid.
In one or two instances It has been
found that the water pipes have frozen
and the occupants OF the houses do not
care whether the Inspector shuts of
their supply OF water or not. This class
will be brought to time when the balmy
spring breezes blow and will meander
down 10 the city mall and produce the
requisite sum with compound interest.

sarne inspector whom they regarded with
feelings OF superb indifference last win

fact the owners OF the large office build

firms as a close second. for without
