i We are in receipt of Bulletin No 11. pn-pared by Prof. Fletcher, Entomolo- gist and Botanist of the D0Ininl0n Experimental Farms. It contains a large amount. of useful information about the lives and habits of insects, eipecially of those that have been most injurious to the farm and fruit crops for the last two seasons. Illus- trations of many -of those ‘insects are g;,.,., to assist. in recognizing the dif- parent .p,,t.i,.,,‘ ‘ml the most effectual means of combating their attacks are carefully and plainly set forth. . . The importance of such 8- tretl’-188 1' evident when, as Prof. Fletcher say!» “ there is no crop grown which is not diminished by an averB33 ff ‘l’ kfst one-tenth by the depredations of in. sect enemies, and this loss in some

years runs up to one-fourth or‘even to .

one-half of the whole crop.” The” i3 no doubt but by gaining some li“°"l' edge of the lives and habits of these insects means may be learned to cur- tail their depredations very materially and hence the great benefit °°.“fe"ed on our farmers and fruit growers by the investigations of such men as the Dominion Entomologist. The discov- ery of the best means of c0Pi°8 ‘.'“'h injurious insects requires much P“‘°“" and laborious investigation, but when once arrived at and then set forth as plainly as in the Bulletin before us. it is within the province of any one of ordinaryintelligcnce to apply it for the saving of his crops.

It is admitted that returns to most of our farmers would be larger, if in- stead of aiming to bring larger SW83 under cultivation they devoted them- selves more to improved cultivation of a smaller acreage, and used the most

approved means of savinfl ‘hell’ °"°P“

from being choked by weeds and de- voured by insect pests. There ll P9" haps not a single case now in Vllich the farmer need stand helplessly by and see his fields over-run by voracious insects or blighted by parasitic fungi.

The selection of seed free from dis- ease spores and the burning of the chaff stalks and such like that are known to be infected will greatly diminish the ravages of noxious in- sects, while the discoveries of the economic entomologist will 8118519 farmers and fruit growers still more succgssfully to cope with them. The time was when the ravages of cholera were accepted as a matter of course, when man raised not his hand, ap- plied not his mind to devise any means to stay the dire calamity. Pestilence is now confined almost completely to the uncivilized portions of the globe. Man's commission is to go forth and

_ subdue the earth, and we believe the

time is coming when it will be looked upon not cnlyas a fault but as a crime for any man to have his crops devoured by parasitic marauders, so effectual will be the appliances put in his hands by science to’ combat their attacks.

Fisheries Bureau Intelligence

(Synopsis for June 13.) The codfishery is reported fair today at

_ Perce and Newport Point, Quebec; poor at

Grand River, but good at P biac. There are no re no of cod en at Caraquette, New runswick, as the boats are all out at the Banks and have not re- turned yet, but the Shippegan cod fish- ermen are doing well. No reports of end in P. E. I. nor in Cape Breton excepting at L'Ard-iis-3, where for the last two days the catches have been excellent. The drawback to fishing at other intsin Cape Breton is undoubtedly the un avorablestato of the weather. The fishery is reported pool‘ on the inshore rounds along the coast of Nova Scotia int very good 18 miles off Liverpool and on the outside grounds oil’ Lockoport. The catch inside at Lockeport was fair to-day and that of haddock good.

Lohsters are scarce along the southern shore of Quebec, but fair at C

_ araquetto and good at Ship an, N. B., also fair at Escuminac.

_ e catch was fair at Louisburg, C. B., but poor at L’Ar- dcise, and none rtod any other place on the Cape reton coast. There "" ‘ 800d N301 at Liverpool. N. 8., but none at any other station as far as re. ported,’ .

....._—————-¢—————- In Favor of Separate Schools.

Toiio.\"ro, May 14.——The Synod of the Anglican diocese of Toronto to-day voted on Rev. Dr Inngtry's motion '1».-in riding the rights of establishment of Protestant separate schools. The vote was . For the motion 30 clergy and 12 laymen; against the motion 16 clergy and 22 laymen. . A majority therefore favored the motion but a portion both of the hilly and clergy being opposed to it the motion was de- feated by the vote requiring concurrence of order. The vote was by no means a full one, two thirds of the members being absent. '

Tlie Pi-esbytcirian Assembly-

KlNi:sTON, June l4.——The general as- sembly devoted Saturday to hearing re- ports of the six colleges. All are prosper-

mg.

The Theological Presbyterian college. Halifax, made a good showing. The building was enlarged and improved at I cost of about The boare state the need of a fourth professor and as soon as the debt of about $l2,(X)O, which the synod will be asked to co"sider, is paid. the interest from investments and $3,500 will support four professors and meet ordinary expenses. The bursary fund has been of great service It has a small balance to its credit. The total income for the year was over 811,511), of which over 85,550 were contributed by 157 con- gregations. Had it not been that over 86,(X)0 were spent on improving the build- ing the debt would have been decreased over 31,744; that is, the rec-ipts were that much more than the ordinary expenditure. The professors and governors of Queen’s university gave the assembly a reception and garden party in the evening. Chan- cellor Fleming presided. It was a brilliant gathering. To-day city pulpits were oc- cupied ey members of assembly. Frequent allusions were made to the death of Sir John Macdonald. The Assembly will not close before Thursday night.

.——:—.——¢..__..._.._ Mr. Blake on the Situation.

Wisxiriio. Juno l0.——A Vancouver despatch to hand contains an interview with Mr. Edward Blake on the political situation. Being asked as to his chances of returning t i political life, he said that the question on which he had differed from his party, with which he had labored for a quarter of a century, was a serious one. On that question the Liberals had made their appeal to the country, and they had come back stronger in numbers than when dis- solution took place. This made the point of divergence between Liberals and himself greater than it was when be ad- dressed the eloctorsrf West Durham. The writing of that letter gave him gveater pain than any thing th.'t had ever oc- curred in his life previously. Whilst it gave little encouragement to the Conserva- tive party, it was not an assuring docu- ment for the Liberals, but such were his convictions that, as an honest man and answerable to his God for his every ac- tion, he could never discover how It would be possible to frame a trade policy which would be favorable to foreign no- tions. and exclusive as regards the Mother Laud. He was free to confess that he foresaw increasing trouble arising fiom the unfortunate condition in which the farming community now was. ___._____g.__._._....

A Recent Invention.

There basrbeen tested on the I. C. 1’... and there is now in operation on the Dal- housie Branch an invention, the object of which is to prevent the derailing of trains and thus reduce to a minimum the possibility of those fearful accidents which occur so frequently on all railways and which invariably result in destruction of pyhpperty and frequently in loss of life. e invention is the result of long and tient toil by Mr. K. J. Spearing, of chsrbrooke, and the name given it is “ Safety attachment for automatic brake attachment for car trucks.” It consists of a main shoe. with a single flange on its inner edge in line with the flange of the wheels, and an auxiliary shoe with a flange the lower edge of which is slightly above the face of the main shoe, to allow it to pass from the main line to the aiding in case of accident. A brake device, con- sisting of a frangible stop, carried in the face of the main shoe, to be broken by direct contact with the rail; from it ex- tend hranches to the main pipes, so that‘ immediately the step is broken the brake is thrown into action and the train stop- The object of the invention is to prevent derailing and automatically set theair brakes,in event of accidents result- ing from a broken axle, broken equalizing bar, broken rail, spread rai‘, open switch or-jumping the rail. The main shoe takes the place of the disabled wheel, support- ing the car, or the two main shoes in case of broken axle. In case of an c ualizing bar breaking. both shoes on t 7st side drop on the rail, set the brake and by means of tie beams sustain the bar in ition. The auxill;:y shoe takes the place of a derailed w , and the brakes are not by the opposite main shoe. This action is the same in case of an open switch. The air brake pipes are connected with each shoe. and terminattng in the frangible ato insure immediate action in case of accident. The equalizing bars are held in position by a tie beam ex- tending between them, being bolted to prevent swaying: The attachment can be fitted to any existing form of car truck without any change.

Frere Netholme's Cure.

hl0NTREAl., Julie 13.-——An apostolic trial is now going on before Archbishop Fabre, regarding the alleged miraculous cure of Fri.-re Netholme, a member of the order of Christain brothers. Frere Netholmo in 1888 was struck with paralysis, so much so that a pin could be run into his body its whole length without him feeling it, and when a finger was pressed against hll flesh the indentation remained. The

of St. Jean Ba tiste de La Salle, founder of the order, w ose trial for czuiomzatlon is now oing on at Rome, came round, Frcro ctholnic undertook a ncveiia in nine days prayer._ It ended on May 4th, when he was carried to church. _As soon as he had partaken of the euchsrist Frere Netholnle felt a seiisaticn thro_u h his body and immediately regained his ealth and strength. The doctors who attended him testified that medical art had nothing to do with his recovery.

_____—-¢———————- Disowned By Her Family.

N aw Yoiut, June 12.——The Herald pub- lishes the following this inorning:——

The Herald has been requested by a member of the Garner family, whose action has the approval of the whole family con- nection, to print the following state- nient:--

“ Several papers have by mistake stated that one of Miss Florence (‘-uruer's (now Lady Gordon Cumming) sisters was pre- sent at. her marriage.

“ The eldest, Mme. la Marquise dc Breteuil, is at present in New York with her husband.

" The youngest, Miss Edith Garner, is at Vienna with her aunt, Mrs. Lawrence.

“The family wish to rectify this mis- take, and also to state that no one of Miss Garner's relations was present at her marriage. -

“ It is needless to tdd that. being of age, she took this step against the wishes of her entire family.” ’
