JANUARY MARITIME BREPRDERS ASSOCIATION The annual meeting of the above named assoviation was beld at the Nova School of Agriculture Hall, 29th December last. The gail« ring of farmers and siockmen was large in numbers, unavimous in sentiment apd earnect in its determination, Some of the more promineat members preseut were Colonel Blair, Hoo, Mr. Chipman, Secretary of Agriculture, Nova Scotia, Hon. Mr. Biack, Mr. Robertson, foome: ly of Howick, Quebec, now manger of the Domivion Experanental farm, Nap- pau,Mr. Hubbard,E iitor Co-operative F'ar- mer Suesex,F.L Haszard E-q , Charloue town, and Mr. Hoteon, Mosstorou, Ontario, besides a large oumber trom New Bran-wick and Nova Scoua, aod a slim representation from Prince Edward Islenc. {be central and most important mem. ber of the meeting, {rom the tarmer’s stand point. was Mr. Hobson, who came as a repsesentative of the Domirion Short-Horn Breeders Association, and alsoof The Dom- iniow Cattle Breeders Association of which he ie President. He .is a grand speeiman of the elderly svocessful Canadian agriculturist, large and well proportioned in frame and gifted witha a rong mind well stored with wis- dom aad knowledge. He joined in the debates several times, but always brought out pew trains of thought amd instructive pointe. He bas been successful flaancial by, and has speni the last eight months in travelling over the ‘Janadian country from ocean tu.ocean acd across to see the poinis of interest in the old world. During tbe three seseions io which (be wmeevngs were held, addresses were given and papers read by the:following gentlemen Col. Blair on “ine Advancement of Agriculture in Nova Scotia” F L Havzard Esq. on “Sheep Raising in connection with the Dog Nuisance.” (He proposes a pro- vinci deg tax, to be levied by the school | trustees ror ~ echool urposee ) Mr. Robertson, Experimental Farm, Nappan, oo “Dairying,” De. Jackwan V.S., on the “Horse,” Mr. Logan, on ‘Shropshire Sheep,” Mr. F. G. Bovyer on “ Transportation Rates.” Hon. Mr. Blair gave an addrese, Hon Mr. Chipman, en ad- dress, Mr. Hobsoo, OUstario, “On the useful work done in Ontario —_ by Agricultural and Breeders’ Associations.” Resolutions. on several subjects were passed. One of them was @ strong protest against the system On which the Sova Scotia Provincial Frize List» tor 1898 were formed. Officers for the sew year were elected. The foliowing Prince Edward Island men are on the list: F.L. Baszard, Esq. Delegate for Provincial Kxhibition; Mesers, E. R. Brow, James Clarke and Albert Boswa!), Executive Committee; Mr. F. G? Movyer, Vice President for P. E. Island and delegate to Dominion Stock Breeders Association. The Maritime Breeders Association bas a bright future before it and much needed work to do. From the interest taken by the great numbers who aitended the meeting the association promises to be a power that will command attention beth in the Legis- jatures and by the executive of the Mari- twe Provinces. JANUARY MAGAZINES. MARPER’S. The stories io the January Harpe:’s are of uousual variety and power, In “The King of Beaver,” Mary Bartwel!l Cather- wood portrays vividly the baleful force of ebaracter of the elder of a Mormon com- munity. Few of Mrs. Catherwood’s stories have given evidence of e¢0 much imaginas tion and powerful grasp of characier. “Margrave, Bachelor,” by Clara Maynard Parker, which is as sympathetic and humorous as Mre. Catherwood’s story is powerful, is a skeica of how a man and a woman, on the verge of middle life, are led into a sincere attachment in conse- quence of their interest in children. “ Between the Lines at Stone River,” by Captain F. A. Mitchell, author of * Sweet Revenge,” illustrated by W. T. Smediey. is aromance which begins aud eods with ‘The Pill That Wil] pr. J.C. Ayer’s Pills will prevent and cure biliousness. “Por years I have thorou : I ghiy tested AYER Pr2s, both as a preventive and cure o Housness.

Ochiltree, is a sympathetic study of chid life, showing how the spirit of Christmae may be feltia the most equalid i siumes. LIPPINCOTT’S. The complete vovel in the Jauuary issue of Lippiocott’s is “John O)}mstead’s Nepbew,” by Henry Willard French. A burried marriage 16 necessary to secure sowe selid interests and defeat an enewy, and thereon bangs a romance, “Chrisi- mas Gold,” a tale of Australia, by Owen Hall, and “Christmas Eve at Bilger’s,” which was ip a western mining camp, by Frank H. Sweet, celebrate the season. Why should Christmas stories appear & mouth ahealef Chr.simas? These are just intime. Philp G. Hubert, Jr., telis at some length, butio a lively way, of “A Detective who detected.” He was a newe~ paper man; it wasa literary crime that he was set to detect, and while on the trail of ithe found something else. “Canuck and Raoal” were # Canadian boy and a horse, between whoma strong affection existed. Elizabeth Kuowlton Carter is the narrator. Ca)vie Di)) Wilson writes pleasantly on a subject which he knows by heart, “The Eastern Shore of Maryland.” ‘“Irriga- tion from Under Ground,’ by John E Bennett, takes the reader to the other end of tne United Sta'es, and gives much uo- familiar information about the arid regions and how they may be made habitable and fertile. Among ‘ Some Botanic Grrdens,” George Ethelbert Walsh finds those of London wod Paris most important, but gives brief mention to others do various parts of the world. George Archie Svock- wellseems to prove that the belief in “Wolf Children,” from Roraulus and Re- mus On, is something more thana super- sition. @scar Herzberg finds a good dea! to say about “Druggists, Ancient and Mod- ero.” Under the neading* “Today in the Bible,” William Cecil Elan collects many familiar exprecsions, strokes of humor, observations and reflections on life and humen nature, sharply pointed sayings, and what not, which people often use without knowing their orgin. The Story of Canada. One of the most rendable and altogether pa of all the historical sketches, of, anada hae just been published by Mesers, Horace Marshall .& Son, Temple Huuse,’ Temple Avenue, London, E C., the author | being Mr. Howard A. Kennedy. This’ work covers the whole ground as well as! the whole period between the first coming cf the white mao and the discovery of immense deposits of gold in the Klondyke. Yet it is contained within 174 amall pages and the book may be obtained for the small sum of one shilling and six pence. Tne Profits of Monte Carlo. ‘The merchant whose losses are the re- sult of untoward and unforeseen changes in the market receives sympathy and help, but what bank or private friend will advance money toa gambler? The betting man who has staked his last shilling and lost it is pronounced a fool and has put himself beyond the reach of practical compassion. The sharper who bas fleeced him has neither grati- tude nor pity. He uses his victim as the butt of his ridicule. And the victim himself, who has risked his money on mere chance, or on baseless information, or on fraudulent representations, freely pronounces himself a fool, judging him- self in the light of the issue. To fancy that we shall be exceptions and win where others have lost, that we shall be the solitary lucky ones among the thou- sands unlucky, is a folly to which we are all liable, but it is mone the less a folly. It is stated that the winnings of the table or bank at Monte Carlo last year amounted to £800,000—that is to say, this was the net sum lost by those who played. Yet each gambler who stakes his little pile fancies he will be the one to win. here are some thousands of bookmakers in our own country. Out of whose pockets do they pick so comfort- able a living? Out of the pockets of their dupes, who so bountifully contrib- ute tothe maintenance of their worst enemies.—Good Words. See The Word “Toast.” The word ‘‘toast,’’ used for describ- ing the proposal of a health in an after diuner speech, dates back to medizwval times, when the loving cup was still re- garded as an indispensable feature of every banquet. The cup would be filled to the brim with wine or mead, in the center of which would be floating a piece of toasted bread. After putting his lips thereto the host would pass the cup to the guest of honor seated on his right hand, and the latter would in turn pass it to his right hand neighbor. In this manner the cup would circulate around the table, each one present taking a sip, until finally the cup would come back to the host, who would drain what remained and swallow the piece of toast in honor of all the friends assembled a4 6. S00 tI 4 Moree His Bluff, When the young man called to ask for the old man’s daughter, the latter naturally thought it was necessary to put up a good bluff, that being the usu- al method of procedure. Consequently he looked solemn, coughed once or twice asa sort of preliminary, communed with himeelf a minute or two, coughed again and asked: ‘‘Can you support her in the style to which she has been accustomed?’’ “If I couldn’t,’’ returned the young man promptly, ‘‘I ought to be ashamed of inyself.’’ Theold man’s bluff was called. —Cbhi- cago Post i THE VACANT SENATORSHIP., Sin,—It is amusing to see and hear the arguments pnt forth from various quarters tor the vacant seat in the senate. It 8 well] known that territortal divis oo does pot enter into tue question as the senators are appointed for P. B. Island and neither for Prince. Queeo’» or King’s. However, when Senator Arsensult was apported, the same claims were pat forward aud aucceeded, I am not going to disparage the claims of all the candidates, for doubt- ; less they are putmerous and weighty. Some claim the county, others defeated candi- dates, others religion, others pover'y, others baving been Once a governor sud avn M. P., o-hers, taituiul service never recoga. zed b, tne party,—and bere I sheuld say the strongest ciain hes. I under- stand that Willie Pound, E y., of Margair, ix amoog the bumber on the tcket, Mr. Pound's claims and service to the party were never recognized, and as be hes spent his means to cariv the party to victory on mapy an occasivu it is nothing but fair that Mes-rs. Yeo and Perry should favor his candidature. Alberton aud Tignish from time immemorial bave been receiv ing and partaking of the fat things in official patrovage and that portion of the County east ot Suramerside never received anything. Nepotiem, re'igion and worn- out politicians should not now enter Into the argument; unrecogaized and deserving claims like those ot Mr. Tuplin, of Kea~ sington, and Mr, Pound, ot Mar gute, shou'd carry mort weight ip (his bytoloation, Agaio, if the recommendation of the pre- sent cenators would carry acy weight I fancy Mr. Pound's claims would be recog- nized as an opponent of deserving and honorable merit. The doubie shuffle, however, of the old family compact 18 not yet dead asa governor in the family is very desirable; anotnor knighthood loom- ing in the distance and an intelligent and practical mechanic like Mr. Pound must be sacrificed tothe end that the blue blood must be further promoted. What matters ability! It does not count. Kdo- cation! It does not conot—never did! Poverty is rot in it. Wir-+pulling and the double shuftie does it all. ‘Tbe country people are 2quiet y watching matters. They are beginuing to see that it is not the good of the country these politicans are after but extreme seltishness ofthe most mercenary characier. Em. olument, place, power and khigh hood the-e be the gods and the country wsy sink or swim; as long as they carry their ends ail right. Country people were made to help these men into place and power; ani peblic improvements aod other coo- veniences for the people are of no importauce. Hereafter | fancy country people will give their eupport to wen of practical independence. Men who will stand up for the country Gret and seaatorships afterwards, But wow the order of the days is office first; drive out the comeervative officiels and make room for the hungry cabal that are now moving heaven aad earth to get patrottage.

There is a little bit of a boy in this town who will probably get his name in the pa- pers some day. A few mornings ago the people who think he is the prettiest and wisest child on earth had ham and eggs for breakfast. When his papa had finished and was about to start down town, the cbild’s mamma said: ‘Stop a moment, George. There’s some egg on your mustache.’’ “Darn it!’ exclaimed George. “I guess I'll cut it off.” A few days later the child happened to notice the gold filling in his mother’s teeth. ‘‘Oh, mamma, dere’s egg on your toofs,”’ he sid. ‘My, my!’’ she replied, pretending to wipe the imaginary egg off. ‘Il wonder how it got there?”’ The boy was silent for a few minutes, during which he seemed to be thinking hard. At last he asked: ‘“Mamma, why don’t oo say darn too?” —Cleveland Leader. Hood's Best to take after dimuer; a prevent distress, aid diges- tion, cure constipation.
