GLASGOW, Sept. 22-Already to IN.
aetonishtneut OF the people OF GreN
Britain the religious difficulty mas Deeh
overcome i'm the transference OF tne
Scottish training colleges from clerlca,
to public control. communlcauou
from the Glasgow provincial committee
for tbe training teachers shows that an
amicable agreement has been reaeheu,
here as i'm Edinburgh, between the new
supervision of the colleges and the old
i'm regard to the teaching of religion.
When the system Is In opera ton tne
Church of Scotland and the United Free
church will appoint member or mem
bers of the staff in each college TO give
religious instruction to the students.
pay them for this duty and superfnteno
the lesson, while the provincial COM
mittee will provide accommodation ana
allot the lesson place in the time
table merely receiving reports from the
churches as to the adequacy OF the
teaching and the results. This agree
ment was indorsed unanimously by the
Glasgow committee. There are, OF
course, some who fear that under the
new regime religion will be virtually
banished from the training colleges.
Two public bodies in Scotland have
made announcements on the small
landholders' bill, which was laid be-
lore Lnt HOuSe VI tOUlllOllS NOW Ni0 thr
end of the session. The first to move
was Banffshire Liberal association.
Mr. A. w. Black, the member for
Banffshire, told his constituents that
this was splendid bill, that 1t would
apply to 1000 landhoders in the county,
and so on. The response of the Liber-
al association was a resolution approx
ing the object and principles of its chief
detail, which is the introduction of dual
ownership into the land system of the
lowlands,
Other Bills
Now the Aberdeen. Banff and Kinear-
dine Land Defense association Is
avowedly brought into being by the
small landholders' bill and the land
tenure bill. 1t declares itself "anx-
ious to cooperate in any judicious
measures directed to promote the
prosperity of all classes interested in
agriculture and to encourage the main
tenance and extension of small prin-
ciples." But it declares that the two
bills mentioned above contain pro-
visions not only unjust to the land
owners of Scotland, but also subver-
sive of the security of all private prop
erty and injurious to the real interests
Of agriculture and to the permanent
welfare of the country districts"
A difference of thirty-one degrees
in the weather between England and
Scotland was noted the other day. At
Sumburgh Head the maximum was
only "a, which was thirty-one degrees
lower than the maximum at London
and at Margate. Differences of tenn
perature to the extent Of twenty de-
grees or thereby occur sometimes be-
| tween the Scotch and the English
! maximum on the same day, but q diff
ference of thirty-one degrees is al
most unique. And when this difference
| takes place in month when the sun
shine has been almost continuous over
a great part of England, and the rain
fall slight, while in Scotland there has
been rain almost every day and the
sunshine has been infrequent and short
lived it is evident that within the
British islands there may be such con-
| trasts of weather. 1t is dismal as win
ter In the north, while less than four
hundred miles to the south the sun is
pouring down his heat with a fullness
which Is usually only equaled in some
of the warmest parts of Southern Eu-
rope at this season of the year.
Though the lifting season is at hand
fears are everywhere expressed for the
potato crop, even in Scotland as weK
as Ireland.
There Is a house near ours which has
about 200 different varieties of creep

Don't you enjoy it?"
mo, it's a crying nuisance"
why, isn't it decorative?'
mo it's an infant asylum"
