A Child of Seven.
All the bells of heaven may ring, All the birds of heaven may sing, All the winds of earth may bring All sweet sounds together ; Sweeter far than all things heard, Hand of harper, tone of bird, Sounds ef woods at sundown stirred, Welling water's winsome word. Wind in warm, warm weather ; One thing yet there is, that none Hearing ere its chimes be done. Knows not well the sweetest one Heard cf him beneath the sun Hoped in heaven hereafter. Soft and strong, and loud and light, Very round and very light. Heard from morning's rosiest height Where the soul of all delight Fills a child's clear iaughter. Golden bells of welcome rolled Never forth such tones nor told Hours so blithe in tones so bold As the radiant month of gold Here that rings forth heaven. If the golden-crested wren Were a nightingale, why, then, Something seen and heard of men - Might be half as sweet ss when Laughs a child of seven.

Colorado Bearded Wheat.
’
This wheat has been grown by me der- ing the lasc two years, and | am fully con- vinced that it is wel! adapted to produce a heavy yield of wheat and a good quality of flour, and will as briefly as possible give my reasons for coming to that conclusion. In February, 1891, I asked W. B. Rob- ertson, Seedsman of Charlottetown, to pur- chase for me two bushels of this wheat when in Ontario purchasing grain and seeds for his spring trade. He did so, and I sowed the two bushels on 11-10 acre of land, and it produced 414 bushels of good, clean, hard wheat.
I was so pleased with the result that I sowed no other kind but it last spring, and 1 had a good crop of it, bu: I am not able to say in bushels how it yiclded, as some of it is in the chaff yet.
Last year's yield will not equal that of the previous year, owing to the heavy rain we had in August. 1 wish to add to my own the testimony of three of our best farmers. Mr. Malcolm McCannell, of this settlement purchased of me 2} bushels and it produced 38 bushels of good wheat. Mr. McCannell has grown wheat for 38 years and says that it is the best ever grown by him and says that he will sow no other kind out ia this coming spring.
Mr. John Robertson sowed four bushels and it yielded him sixty-two bushels of good wheat fit for seed. Mr. Robertson says that it was at least 50 per cent better than the Russian grown in the same field Mr. David McEwen sowed four bushels of it. He could not harvest it when it was ripe owing to wet weather and consequently shel'ed very much. His yield was 54 bushels. Mr. McEwen has grown wheat for the last fifty years, and he says that it is the best ever growa by him. I sold some of it to other farmers, but cun- trary to my advice, they didn’t sow it early or rather, as early as the land was in con- dition to work, and, consequently, the yield was light. Owing to the wet weather we had last August, and which injured all grain, especially late grain, the early grain didn't suffer as much on account of the grain being well matured before the heavy rain came on.
I have heard it said that it will do tosow late, but I dun’t approve of sowing wheat late; I believe in sowing the wheat when- ever the land is in good condition for working—no sooner and no later fhan that. As the White Russian Wheat has beer largely grown by the farmers of this Pro. vince during the last few years, and which has been looked upon as the best all-round wheat for the average farmer to grow, and I have grown it myself in pre- ference to Red or White Fife, Lost Nation, Goose Wheat, &c., I desire on that account to compare the Colorado Bearded with the White Russian Wheat :
_ (1) It requires no stronger land to pro- duce a good growth of straw. (2) It will mature a week at least earlier than the Russian; it gains during the grow- ing season, that is, during June and July, This is very important, especially in low. lying lands that will not permit of early sowing. (3) ft being a vigorous grower and a hardy variety, it is better able to resist the attacks of the wheat parasites. (4) It being s hard wheat, it is always in condition for milling, while the Russian is a soft wheat and hard to get in condition for milling. It will give about 3 lbs: more fiour to the bushel and of better quality than the Russian, but not equal to the Fife wheat for flour. As it is wheat that is apt to shell and easily threshed and always in condition for milling, it should be harvested on the green side, for by so doing the quality of flour will be much better than by allowing it to ripen too much. W hen allowed to ripen too much, the shell or bran of any wheat becomes brittle and cuts up so fine that some of it remains in the flour, while if harvested on the green side the bran will be tough and will shell off, making a better quality of flour. I have no apology to make when I write on a nubject which is of great moment to aot only our farmers but also to all classes of our com- munity. ‘*‘ Bread is the staff of life,” aad as suck should receive more consideration than it generally receives,

A Narrow Escape. ; On Saturday night, the Ist inst, Dr. | Morris, of Milleove, after returning home from s-eing some patients, thought he would examine a consignment of drugs that he had recently imported, and for this purpose poured out an erdinary dose from one of the bottles labelled **Com.- pound Syrup of Hypophosphates.” Im- mediately on swallowing it he knew he had takena medicine, not the same as the label indicated, but instead, a much more powerful remedy. The cool nerve and ready judgment that has brought him sue- cess in critical cases, never deserted him, but enabled him te promptly administer the proper antidote and a quickly acting emetic, that soon relieved him from any danger of serious consequences. Next morning a further examination of the box of drugs revealed a short note, stating how for want of a properly-labelled bottle be- ing at hand at the time, the tinctare ordered was placed in one of the bottles labelled as above, and to look for it under that heading. This note, owing to travel on rail and steamer, had worked its way down some distance among the packages aud hence escaped the doctors’s notice ; thus this unintentional negligence on the part of the shipper'’s assistant nearly re- sulted in a serious ending. At last ac- counts the doctor is reported as getting ready to goon a gunning expedition for the purpose of exterminating the careluss aud unlucky assistant,

The following mass has been taken from the stomach of a patient who died at the insane asylum at Kalamazoo, Mich. : Seventy-five stunes, 38 nails, 15 staples, 2 screws, 2 buttons and piece of glass. Total weight of foreign substances, 2i ounces.
The cruiser Tourmaline, of the British Navy, which has been doing nearly seven years’ service on the Atlantic station, and has mere than once visited Quebec and Montreal, has arrived in England to be put out os commission, and her crew will be paid off in Chatham dockyard.
Western United States railroads have agreed to raise the price of meals on their dining cars from seventy-five cents toa dollar. Their excuse is that the meals actually cost $1.25 to provide. It may be admitted, under the circumstances, that ia railroad charges bigger advances have been made on slighter grounds.
A cablegram from St. John’s Nfid., says: **A two-masted steamer passed the Chan- nell this morning bound here, loaded ; must be the Newfoundland, she being the only two-master at the Gulf.” A telegram to Pickford & Black says the Newfoundland has 30,000 young hoods ; steamer half full and in the midst of the seals. The value of the cargo will probably reach $75,000 as a result of her work so far.
The President of the so called Republic of San Domingo is accused of being a bank robber, and not an altogether successful one either. He is said to have broken into the safe of the French Bank at San Domin- go, and to have taken $62,000. When he endeavored to depart for Monte Christo the French men-of-.war interfered, and de- manded $100,000 and an apology. There is not sc much profit in bank coihoee carried on in such a fashion.

Tue New Lerrer Carp.—The Canadian Postal Department has followed the ex- ample of some other countries and issued a letter card which costs the purchaser three
cents. It is now rapidly coming into vogue. Itisinform something like the reply postal; that is, rather more than
double the size of the ordinary postal card, and folded in the middle. Around the outer edges the paper is perforated, so as to be torn off readily when the receiver requires to open it. The letter is to be written on the inside of the card, and the edges being then moistened and stuck together, the contents are quite as private as if enclosed in an Ordinary, envelope. There is room to write a consid- erable letter within, and the back of the outside may afterward be used as a posta) card for any additions which the writer may choose to make. The principal ad- vantage of the letter card is for immediate reply when one receives a letter at the post office. People do not usually carry paper and envelopes with them, but the ietter card will quite fill the bill.
