days over five months old. As each farmer came up afterwards I put this question: Have you ever seen do~ nestle steers of five or six months old, that could draw so heavy load as easily as these buffalo calves can draw ii?' Every one of them admit ted that he hadn't, and many went so far as to say that no domestic steers of the same age could approach the young buffaloes in the matter of strength. All were amused to see the calves come up to me after the eEhibi- tion, and suck their milk from a bot tie; they were so thirsty they would have taken any kind of milk. and in- deed, before the fair was over, they drank the milk of all kinds of cows, including Jersey, Holstein, Red Poll ed, Ayrshire and Hereford.
 In the afternoon, took the team out again, yoked as before, but this time drawing the cart instead of the drag, Again they made a hit by the easy, rapid walking and trotting, and the farmers were now quite willing to admit that the buffaloes could easily beat domestic steers in the matter of speed, fact I had never doubted for a moment since the calves first came into my hands.
 Each day of the fair took the lit tie fellows out twice, now drawing a barrel of apples on a stone-boat, now pulling load of hay with two small hovs on the top. and again just one buffalo in single harness, hitched to pony cart borrowed for the occa- sion. At last came the big day. when many thousands of people were pres- ent, when the grandstands were pack

 be something sad. UT dramatic, or pathetic--or perhaps it
 makes you mad. Telling of some steal or other that's

 passes through the crowd. Talked of by ten thousand peeple-yes,

Earl Spencer is to preside at the un- yelling in London of the national memorial of the late Mir Gladstone, on October 21, and the ceremony will be performed in the presence of a repre- sentative assemblage of politicians and civic notabillities. Invitations are be- ing sent out, but the programme has not yet bee~ settled. Statues of the de- ceased statesman already exist in Westminster Abbey, and the central hall of the houses of Parliament tine former having been erected at the pub- lie expense and the latter by private subscription. This national memorial however, is not to be statue only, but an important monumental group. The bronze statue itself represents Mir. E Gladstone in the picturesque robes of chancellor of the exchequer, and is said to be an impressive rendering of a fine personality.

A successful burglar alarm which was recently put up in the store of a, Baltimore grocer has also the merit of simplicity and ci1eapness.

Burglars wis., tied the place the other night. the shovel did all that was expected of it and the burglars, alarmed by the noise took to their heels.
