the seven. The great falle made deeper impression <>n me than anything 1 saw on the entire trip. From Niagara we went on to Toronto, Canada, crossing the Niagara river on one of the mag mticient suspension bridges that span the river above the falls. We passed by the monument that marks the grave of Maj. Isaac Brock who was killed in the War of 1812. Toronto is a wonderful city of two hundred thousand inhabitants. There are more churches there than any city of its size I have ever seen. The Church of England is by far the strongest of them all. Toronto is noted for its institutions of ^ learning. Some thirty colleges I J and collegiate institutes are located there. I had the pleasure of meeting a number of distinguished men, among them that I now remember are Dr. Ilall and Chief .Jus tice McLaren of the supreme court. I was shown through Osgood Hall, where the different courts are held. They have all the state reports in the library. I of course looked at the S. C. reports. There werefullv thrp? t.hmicnnrt delegateB at the convention. It was indeed a notable gathering of representative men and women. At the Metropolitan church I eaw an organ which is played both in front aud in the rear. i Some of the delegates, for lack of , * better name, called it an echo organ. I was struck with the clearness of the tone and the reverberations. From Toronto, we went by boat down the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. Before we got to Montreal, we passed the great rapids C rii t ' - - a me ot. Lawrence (i torget the oame.) Montreal ia a city of about three hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants. It is a Catholic city largely and is noted for the number of beautiful cathedrals that adorn the city. On the top of one of them they have bronze figures of the twelve Apostles. We went from there to Quebec which is quite a quaint city. The place of most interest to us was the "plains^ of Abraham" just out side of the city limits, where General Wolfe was killed and General Montcalm was mortally wounded. A granite monument marks the spot where Wolfe gave up his life in fighting the battles of his country. The hill which Wolfe and his men ascended in reaching the Plains from the river is very steep and is seventyfive or a hundred feet high. It /poks like it is an impossibility * to climb it. Returning to Quebec we went AVTAI* f h a U/\l /I *) ? 1? i ? I- - vtci hid uiu tunil WI1ICU WHH built right along the brink of the river. The streets of old Quebec re very narrow and dirty. We passed through a street leading from the river up the hill to what is now the principal city and ^ saw some children playing in the narrow street?ten feet wide? and we asked them the name of i the stree^ They told us it was UcallecbSous-le-Oap. As this name suggests, Quebec is decidedly a French city. So far as 1 know it is the only walled city on the ^ continent.

She afterwards left her husband and when she sought reconcilia tion she was told not to enter the house again. A decree giving the woman $2S a month was given Monroe's New Hundred Thousand Dollar Cotton Mill Assured. Monroe is to have a new cotton mill, a spinning mill with five thousand spindles and a capacity of six thousand bales ol cotton per year.

Governor Hey ward today, alter receiving a number of reports from Union county, decided to order the constables back in that county. This action is taken be cause ot the belief that the dispensary law is not being enforc ed since that county voted out the dispensary. The policy of Governor Ileyward was announced several months ago in The Record. As soon as a county votes out the dispensary the constabularv is withdrawn and the county and town officials are given an opportunity to entorce the law. If it is found that the law is not being enforced the constabulary is sent back. This has been done in several counties.? Columbia Record.

Feed for strength atul muscle rather than lat. Surplus tL'sh is a hindrance to a horse that has to work. Do not expect a young horse that is taking his first lesson in work to do as much as a horse well accustomed to it. In selecting lor breeding, it is well Jo remember that a horse cannot transmit what ho does not himself possess. The market will be overstocked with cheap horses as long as farmers patronize stallions because their service fee is low. Good strong mares can raise a good colt each year and still do about as much farm work as geldings. It is easy to figure that they are more profitable. There is a loss of available in come in raising any kind of stock which is devoid of good quality, but this is especially true ol horses. In nearly all cases the commu nity that raises good draft or car riage horses will be found prosperous and progressive. A farm may be made much better by farming it with teams that are able to cultivate the crop in the best possible manner. The more gentle and quiet you can keep colts from the time they are foaled up to the time they are old enough to work, the better for them and for you. Give the mares plenty of time to eat their meals. It is poor economy to take a horse from the stable before he has had time to finish his meals. If you want horses that will be ready sale at good prices, breed the best of whatever strain vou */ fancy. There are always buyere for good draft or carriage horses. By breeding your grade draft fillies to the same type of stallion as their sire, in a short time you will have a number of brood mares uniform in size, contour, disposition and color. Both parents should be selected so that the points of one may be adapted to points of the other; for although both may approach per foction individually, the points which characterize the one may actually counteract tho other.
