On speak- ing of this, the reason given was that all trees are the landlord’s property ; that if a tenant should plant them they would sug- gest luxury and prosperity. and therefore a rise of rent ; * or, 'otherwise stated, the tenant would be fined for thus improving the value of his holding. This was before the passing of the Land Act, which, we may hope. will put an end to:eueh legalized brigandage. With the abolition of rack- renting, the Irish peasant may grow and eat fruit; may even taste jam without fear and trembling ; margréw rhubarb and eat pies and puddings in defiance of the agent.

Advice to Plain Women. A- KISS IN COURT. Poor Dear. Provldlnz for Its Establishment ll Ilse Agricultural Collegeâ€"The Cream Gathering system. A Guelph despatch says : Mr. J. H. Wan- zer, oi Darlington, Wis., is here drawing plans and completing other arrangements for the establishment of a creamery in con- nection with the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege,,on the cream gathering system. Mr. WanZsr is the nominee of a committee specially appointed by the Provincial Gov- ernment to visit the creameries ot the United States and Canada and to choose the best man to inaugurate the new system here. The sum of $3,000 was voted to de- fray the expense of starting the establish- ment. Hon A.M. Ross, Provincial Treasurer and Commisrioner of Agriculture, was here to day in consultation with Mr.Wanzer and Prof. Mills,Principal of theCollegefln relation to the establishment of the new oreamery. It is expected that the building-now used as a cheese factory at the College can be made available for the use of the creamery, and that by this means the expense will not be greater than 31,300. Provision will be made for using the cream of 1,500 cows, but ahstart will be made with that of two or three hundred cows. As the name im- plies, the cream only is collected from the farmers instead of taking the milk. as undgr the ether system. The advantages are; 0 the ereamery greater certainty and less expense in transportation, and to the farmers the use at the skim-milk for stock feeding. Guelph is the centre of a great stock-leading region, and this system, while givmg'all or nearly all the advan- tages ot the other system, will not interfere with that business. Mr. Wanzer is a practical men, having a creamery which uses the milk of 2,400 cows. and has an average daily product of 2,000 lbs. of butter during the season. He brings with him samples of the cans in use under this system. One is to be used by the farmers who supply the cream. It has a small glass scale at one side which Will show at a glance what quantity of butter the cream in the can will make. The other is for carrying the cream. It has a move- able top, which rests upon the cream and prevents it from churning. Mr. Wanzer says the farmers in his section make from $35 to $45 per cow each season. “ In fact," he said, “ we tell them that we will pay them as much for the cream as they could get tor the butter if they made it, and' I think that is about the practical result." Acablegram from London says: The Earl of Aylesford, who is well known in America as the owner of an immense ranch in Texas, on which he remains most of the time and where he has immense herds of cattle, has lately been prominently before the law courts of England in the role of an injured husband, with the young Duke of Marlborough as the co-respondent. He had just succeeded in defeating Lady Aylestord’s claim for alimony on the ground that she had been guilty of “v molestation ” by appropriating his second titleâ€"Lord Guernseyâ€"for her illegitimate child by the Duke ot Marlborough. Perhaps it was to celebrate this Victory that he got intoxicated at the Derby yesterday, but at all events he was very drunk when he came back. from the-races to London Bridge in a third class carriage of an excursion train on the Dover & Chatham Railway. The train was crowded with roughs and a succession otsma‘ll skirmishes tock~place between the guards and the passengers all the way up to London. Lord Ay‘lestord was not only drunk' but-obstinate, and he absolutely re- fused to surrender his ticket‘ to the in- spector“ at London bridge. The official persisted. in his demand, and the noble-- earl hit him on the head with a stout walking stick. A struggle ensued, in the course of which Lord Ay lesiord was thrown heavily to the ground. When he was picked up it was found that one of his legs had been broken in two places. and he was carried to a cab and driven home. He now threatens an action .tor damages against the Dover & Chatham Railway Company, but if he attempts this the company will undoubtedly retort with a prosecution for assault and battery upon the inspector. A Case 01 Interest to Travellers and Hotel-Keepers. The Court of Appeal at Toronto on Fri- day, in the cane of C. J. Palin against R. H. Reid, laid down the law in a matter of baggage said to be lost in a hotel. The plaintiff was an estate agent in England and canoe over here with his papers packed up in a trunk of Saratoga dimensions. He put up at the City Hotel, Toronto. kept by Mr. Reid, and after remaining a short time paid his bill and went away, leaving, as he says, the trunk and some window ' fixings in the hotel, in the. public room, but without . check or receipt, A notice warning guests to put their baggage in the room provnded for that purpose was disregarded by lim. He went way without returning lor several weeks, when the trunk was not to be found. The proprietor of the hotel swore that no trunk was left in his charge by the plaintifi, that he had no recollection of any conversation about it, but that, there might have been many such there as it Was exhibition week. If put in his charge he said he would have put it in the proper room and have given a check for it. The court below appear to have held that it was groas negligence on the part of the hotel-keeper not to have produced the trunk when it was called for. but the full Court of Appeal reversed this on the facts of the case.

The fact that such extensive operations could be carried on successfully in the very heart of the city in spite of the vigilance of the police gives rise to a feeling of insecurity and dismay. The police think that several dynamiters must have started out just after dusk, each going directly to a previously selected spot and depositing. the explosives in such a matter- of-fact way as to attract no attention. The singling, out Scotland Yard as one of the points 91, attack was, of course. a piece of bravado intended to show complete defiance and contempt of the authorities. The police are maddened by to-night's evidence of their ino'ompetency, and are the subjects of ridicule at the clubs and other resorts where the matter is discussed.

Yet they are maimed at hap- hazard to bring joy to the souls and money no the pockets at Rossa. and his shameless American crew. There will be a terrible day of reckoning for these dynamiters, and it is not far distant." The Post says: “ It is imperative that England insist forthwith that America. shall ,no longer harbor dynamiters. Eng land andeAmprios ere happily sit peace, and between friendly Powers certain obligations exist which it is impossible to ignore with- out seriously endangering the maintenance of sxfiity.” The Daily News says: “ The explosions show that the purpose and methods of the dvnamiters have not been checked.

Egypt for a time is eclipsed, and all local affairs are thrown in the shade. A series of explosions occurredJast evening which At 9.15 p. m, an explosion was heard in the vicinity of Scotland Yard. Traced to its source, it was discovered that one of the police head- quarters building. used as a lodging house by detectives, had been demolished, and a number of houses in ths‘vicinity badly damaged. The adjoining Clarence tavern was demolished. Several cabs were over- turned, one wrecked altogether. _and some of the horses badly injured, and policemen on patrol seriously hurt. Two minutes later a second explosion occurred, this time in Pall Mail. This shattered the windows of the Carlton Club and considerably injured other structures in that vicinity, tearing up the roadway-use that' it was impassable. The-rumors became current that Victoria Station was blown up. but investigation showed it to be unfounded. Three minutes after the Pall Mall explosion a third explo- sion occurred in St. James’ Square, a short distance from the scene of the second con- cussion. This case was the severest of all. The back wall of the Junior Carlton Club building, which faces on Pall Mall, was blown in,‘and the splendid mansion of Sir Watkin William Wynn,'vM‘.‘P., No. 18 St. James’ Square, was-partially wrecked. Two of Sir Watkin’s men-servants received slight injuries. The windows were smashed and the gas extinguished. Eight maid-ser- vants of the Junior Carlton Club were wounded by flying debris. When the rear' wall of that building caved in they were removed to a hospital.’ At 3.30 p.m. eighteen slabs of dynamite, all connected With the slab which had a luset'attaohed. were dound by the police-lat the base of the Nelson Monument in Trafalgar Square. They were-conveyed to Scotland Yard and examined by Colonel MaJendie, Inspector of Explosives tor the Board of Works, who pronounced them to be nitro compound.

Many Fri-sons Killed by the Fall of an Immense canon Warehouse. A Baltimore, Md, despatch says: The weight of cotton stored in Hooper’s build- ing, in this city, caused it to collapse this afternoon. When the front of the building fell in three or four persons were in the counting room, four in the shipping ofl‘lce, and at least fifteen or twenty in front of the structure. Men were immediately set to work removing the debris in order to get ‘the people out. The body of Mortimer H.

It excited a good deal of attention. Mr. Oopp deprecated the careless conducting of public worship, and earnestly exhorted ministers to do all in their power to culti- vate reverence in the services. and also urged that the Baptist form of worship had been too bold, and insisted that it was their duty to make the form suitable, in harmony with the thought and spirit it was intended to express. He spoke strongly in favor of chanting, and also responsive reading, and thought the Ten Commandments should be more frequently read, also that prayers should more often be offered for the country and the governing powers.

He found the dulness and monotony universal. There is nothing to occupy the time or attention of the patients but the almost enforced labor imposed upon them, which in many instances is repugnant to their feelings and unsuitable to their mental and physical conditions. In other respeeots they are left to their own resources in the families and amongst the frequenters oi the houses ,in which they are lodged. Their life from day to day and. year to year is amere torpid existence, devoid of variety in the present and of hope in the futureâ€"an existence as stagfiant and unwholesome as that of the water in the dirty pools scattered all over the place. At the hospital he learned that the patients on their first coming are detained there from five ‘to eightdays. Every Wednes day the medical staff meet and decide what patients shall be drafted out. At the time of his visit there were in the hospital 32 men and 22 women. The drinking shops referred to are very freely patronized by the pa- tients, numbers of whom are domiciled therein. Generalizing on the aspects of the place Dr. Tucker says: "Many if not most of the patients I saw looked neglected, cold,‘ dirty and miserable. A number of them seemed to have no object or pur- pose in life hut that of sitting near the smoky stove (if there is one, which is not always the case) of the kitchen. with noth- ing to divert the mind or break the eternal monotony of their existence. Only in one house did I find any books. and nowhere did there seem any provision made for the intellectual or other amusement of the patients. In this, as in many other re- spects. all the canons of modern treatment agreed upon by the best authorities in lunacy are ignored and probably unknown. Dr. George A. Tucker, who has been engaged some time under the auspices of the New South Wales Government, in a tour of America. and Europe (and who was in Hamilton some two years ago), investi- gating the cure and treatment of the insane, has published in a little pamphlet just issued in Birmingham, England, an account of the lunatic colony at Gheel, Belgium, which he visited in December last. Dr. Tucker does not give a captivating descrip- tion of Ghee], which is a rather gloomy, dirty place, with narrow, ill-kept streets. The commune of Gheel has a population of over 100,000, at whom nearly 2,000 are lunatics. The town itself has a popu- lati'on of 6,000. The leading feature of the place is the frequent drinking shops. The hospital, to which the new patients are first brought. isa building suggestive of melancholy. New comers are retained for a while at the hospital, and then drafted out among the cottagers, one or two patients, and sometimes three being assigned to each cottage. In ancient times the patients were at first lodged in an old house near the church, still called in the Flemish language the “ Zlekenkamer,” or sick room, where they underwent religious treatment for nine days with a view of their cure. Sometimes a second course of nine days’ similar treatment was gone through, and if they still showed no signs of recovery they were committed to the care of some family in the neighborhood of the church which they daily attended to participate in the benefits of the prayers specially offered on their behalf. The house is still used as of old, though not to the same extent. In addition to the medical director, who resides at the hospital, there are four medical assistants living in the town, and to each of these a quarter of the colony is assigned, which they are expected to Visit twice a month and personally to inspect each patient. There are, besides, six inspecting atten- dants, who are also supposed to visit each patient twice a_month. The patients are watched by the whole population as well as by the authorities, and escapes are rare. One of the methods still used for the treatment of patients with a view to their cure is so full of supersti- tion as to seem scarcely possible in this age in a civilized country. It is pursued in the old house of “ Ziekenkamer," already spoken of. This ancient house is said to stand on the spot where the saint was slain by her unnatural father. The first room shown to Visitors is a kind of kitchen, dark and gloomy, with iron-bound windows, a stone floor and a large. open, old- faehioned fire-place. 1n the uprights on each side of the fireâ€"place two large iron rings are fixed. One is close to the floor and the other about two and a half feet higher. To those rings the faithful patients are fastened, the ankle of one leg to the lower ring and the wrist on the same side to the upper ring. By this arrangement the patient on each side of the fireplace is doubled up in a kneeling position, and the evil spirits by whom he is possessed can incite him to no effective resistance to the exorcisms of the priests or the operations of the saint. In an adj«.iuing room the 'only light and air admitted pass through an iron bound, unglazed window, looking into the» kitchen. The room is almost dark, and can be rendered completely so by a heavy wooden shutter attached to the window and fitting close to the bars. The door is strong and further secured by iron. To the fixed wooden bedstead at one and heavy iron chains are attached for securing the patient in bed. The floor is of stone, the room cold and prison-like, and the grim gloom of the apartment (however much it may favor saintly interposition) is not, from the mundane point of view, at all calculated to mitigate the insanity of an inmate. Dr. Tucker’s convictions are altogether against the Gheel system in all of its particulars, and in concluding his observations he says: “Ihave visited some hundreds of lunatic asylums in four out of the five geo- graphical divisions ot the globe, and in the worst of them I have seen some cheerful faces. At Gheel I did not see a single one, and (apart from the other causes of this) the dreary aspect of the town and the entire country is incompatible with cheer- fulness of spirits in any mortal not endowed with the Tapleyan gift of being happy under the most adverse circum- stances. In a word. Gheel is an abode of desolationâ€"a lingering survival of remote agesâ€"a monstrosity in this nineteenth cen- tury, and a humiliating reproach to our modern civilizations” A Lunatic Asylum Founded on ‘ Superstition. Advice is like now; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon. and the deeper it sinks into. the mind.â€"-C’oleridye. 8e]; REVOLTING REVELATIONB. THE GIIEEL COLONY. A Subterranean River Between Superior and Ontario: (Interview in the New York Bun.) I believe there is a subterranean river running from Lake Superior through Lakes Huron and" Michigan, under Lake Erie, and emptying into Lake Ontario. ‘ There is no other way in which to explain certain mysteries connected with our‘ great lakes. The surface of Lake Superior is about 650 feet above tide, while its bed is 260 feet below tide level. Lake Enron’s surface is 50 feet below that of Superior-'5, and its bed is about on a level with Superior's. The surface of Lake Michigan is 300 feet lower than Lake Huron's, and its bed is sunk a corresponding distance to the level at the other two lakes. Lake Erie’s sur- face is nearly as high as Lake Michigan’s, being 565 feet above the tide, but its bed is also above tide, being 350 feet higher than the ocean level, consequently its bed is 250 feet higher than those of the lakes above it. Lake Ontario’s surface is the lowest of all the great lakes, being less than 500 feet above tide, but its bed is 260 feet below the ocean, or about the same level as Michigan. Enron and Superior. 80 there is a con- tinuous tall from Lake Superior to Ontario. and all the outlet that the upper lakes have that is known is the comparatively insig- nificant Detroit River. That sti’éam never can care for all that great pressure and volume; from above, and the theory of an underground river such as I mentioned seems to me most reason- able. All the St. Lawrence fishes are taken in every one of the lakes but Lake Erie. Why? Because they iollow the course of the subterranean stream, passing 300 feet beneath the bottom of Lake Erie and enter the waters of the upper lakes. The great lakes above Lake Erie have an occasional flux and reflux of their waters, corresponding with ocean tides save in regularity. The subterranean river, ac- cording to my theory, becomes occasionally obstructed by great obstacles that are con- stantly moving down from the lake bot- toms. Then the channels of outlet are insufi‘icient to carry off the great volume of water. and they are dammed back and the lakes rise. Finally these obstructions are swept away by the irresistible pressure, the river flows naturally once more and the dammed waters subside. That is the whole mystery of the rise and fall of the tides in the great lakes. “ No, I do not think it would. A screw- joint would have to be made perfegt, and to make a good thread would require. a material that would be too heavy for a pipe." ‘ “ Could a seamless stovepipe be made ?" “Oh, yea ; but that wouldn‘t help mat- ters any, as the fitting would have to be done all the same. That flange you find in stovepipee now does not interfere thh the joining to any extent. 0! course, the batter the quality of the pipe is the more easily it keeps its shape and the more readily it is joined together. I don’t see any chance for improvement.” THE MYSTERY OF THE LAKES. “ No, we heve had no material improve- ment in the construction of etovepipe since I‘ have been in the. hardware business," said aprominent member of a. Lake street store. “ Of course our‘pipes are of different grades of quality, but all are constructed on the same plan and are calculated to fit by one joint sliding into the other. The differenfi sizes are numbered, and there ebony} be_no trouhle in th_e_fitting."_ “ Would it not be poasiblé to {flake pipe 3°fi119i°in38 wonlsl .aqrew mapper 7." The correspondent isaslightly'm-ixed in his dates.‘ There is no authenticated record ‘ which proves that stovepipes existed in the ‘ time-or Adam, and even the most imagina- ‘ tive mind can not picture Adan: laboring on a ccokstove in the Garden of Eden with a box of patent polish the merits at which are emblazoned on the rocks of the sur- rounding country. It is afoot that fire- places did duty as stoves in this country up to about the year 1820, and when the stove was introduced the pipe came with it as a necessary adjunct. And though many patents have been granted on stoves. the pipes which are so necessary to their efficient servrce remain about, the same as they were when stoves were first intro- duced, though probably the' material If which ‘they are constructed is. 01 a better quality. Herbert Spencer, the profound thinker, is credited with pointing out the ' lack of im. provement which has followed the exist- ence of the tongs, and though this instrument of the fireplace has performed its useful work for many decades, he has called attention to the fact that thatportion of the tongs which is intended to grasp the coal has always been made smooth and slippery, instead of rough and grasping as common sense and practicability would designiit. The practical handlers of the ordinary domestic stovepipe have no trouble in fitting together the various joints and sections with the most perfect accuracy, but with the novice the task is a hard one. Somehow he can never give ~itwthe right twist. In the usual May lst moving the sections of the family stovepipe are liable to be crushed and bent, as they are gener- ally employed as “filling ” in-loads. and of course there is some trouble in getting them-together again. It a pipe, is its-ken down with ordinary care, moved with the same degree of care, and erected in the new habitation with a like accuracy, there should notbe this trouble. Still this is seldom the case, and the fact remains that the stovepipe has not kept pace in'~*the onward march of progress with the other articles of household furniture. It has often struck me as a most ludicroul custom that, in certain countries. whenever exalted persons marry, have children. adorn themselves with crowns. or go through other commonplace experiences or silly ceremonials, a number of prisoners should be released from durance vile. A man is imprisoned either rightly or wrongly; it the former, he ought to serve out his term ; it the latter, he oughtto be released in any case. The practice may, perhaps, work well in Russia, for in that delightful country nine-tenths of the prisoners have committed no crime at all ; but I must say that I was considerably amused on reading that the Grand Duke of Hesse. in the pleni- tude of his power, had pardoned several prisoners in commemoration of the Darin- stadt marriage. In order to give full effect to the sentiment which is at the bottom of the practice, all prisoners ought to be hanged on the occasion of a royal death.â€" Labmichere in London Truth.
