' For days the two armies _in the valley of the Shakhe have been with- in_ a few hundred yards of each 'other,. hardly engaged even in snip- ing. for in one quarter both got water from the same stream on a mutual understanding of `immunity. Both have/been hurrying up rein- forcements. but the . advantage is with the Japanese. _It is probable that they now have that weight which would have turned the scale in the first '-battle-of the Shakhe. Oyama is threatening a`1dou>b1e flank movement. and this shows that the wily, cautions Jap has confidence in the preponderance of his-force. A sympathizer might well note the criticism of a` recent Times corres- pondent and cry Oh; for "n `few thousand mounted_ Boers! For flanking operationsthe Japanese are incapacitated by their want of cav- alry. Another bloodyfight is immi~ nent. V . A Railway Ccmmission Praised. The fruit growers of the province are much pleased at theaction of the Railway Commission in appoint- ing a` Special Committee, including the president of the Ontario Fruit Growers Association. to visit points in, the United States to see what measures have been adopted by the railroads and fruit growers across the border for the transportation of fruit,` A special effort will be made by this Committee to `see if` a car can be found that will be suitable for the transportation of fruit. dur- ing the fruit season, and that the railway companies will beable to use at other seasons zfor` other `pur- poses. The short_ season for shipping fruit. has been the ehief_ obstacle in the past toithe supplying of pro- perly -fitted cars for the trade. Mr. Alex.v'Mc-.Lean' r'epo`rt.s' from Japan that for the first six months of the calendar year amongst Jap- * anese imports. .flour stood alone as the representative of Canadian trade. But the increasing importations of` that article saved the `situation from discouragement. During the eight months from January to August. 70.- 852.496 pounds of flour. valued at $81,755, "were -brought` .~ in `from Canada, as compared ,with 448,701 labs. valued at $5.440, ifor the same period the year previous. This large increase is attributed to the display "made by Canada at the Osaka Ex- position last year. It is remarkable how widespread has become the knowledge that Canadian` flour makes" better bread andmore of it to the barrel than does the United -States ivariety. - I.n a speech delivered this month Sir -Arnold Foster. the English Sec- xetary of State for W ar. said as fol- lows:--/ A 4 ` C A A., '-_L_..__. lNJVV 0" .There have been party interfer- ences with the administration of the arvnfy.

The line was blocked for some hours by the wreck, but the acci- dent -happened at a switch, which was made use of in such a way that i little delay was caused to traffic on? the road. Coroner Griffingwill hold an inquest on November .15. ' ` Every elector who goes to the polls to-day should remember that the ballot is absolutely'secret. The voter -and no other person can know how he marks his ball_ot. The ballot cannot be traced and_.the el- ector has therefore to reckon with his `conscience. `There has never been in this country an election in which the secret ballot was so es- sential as in the contest which is to be fought out to-day. Great corporate interests are involved in the fight. These interests are play- ing for tremendous stakes. They mziy endeavor to. influence men in their employ. they may threaten, they may attempt coercion. In such` a crisis the elector has only to re- member that the ballot is a secret one and that thanks to this system of voting he can give` effect to his honest convictions without fear of? incurring any man s vengeance or displeasure. ' Superintendentf_Cowan of the ag- ricultural societies of Ontario has a plan in contemplation for com- petition among the bestfarms of the province. and a meeting of experts is likely to be called to consider it. There may boa competition for each county. and for the best of these a competition in districts of grouped counties of 12 org14 each. with a general provincial competition` for the best. If it can be arranged some plan for the encouragement of mo- del farming wilibe put in force next summer. \ 4 J Candian Cheese and Butter.` London.

A well formed, good looking nae. rightly wearing such clothes as any high class tailor would make for hill. would compare `favorably with any Greek of old. tagged in his best. But neither sculptor uor painter can make so pleasing `a representation of the man in close tting clothes as he can el theman in owing robes. not because the clothes are unhandsome, nor be- cause they are unbecoming to the wearer, but because the artist pre- sumptuously thinks the tailor who made the clothes did not know his business. and does not- think it worth while even to try to represent them` as they are. As he generally repre- sents them on canvas or in stone they look as little like the sartorial things of beauty they `are as a panic! corpse looks like `a living human being.--8al.~ * tonal Art Journal. _ Who Iippoi-ted Atluli Not long ago the genial superintend-_ out of a public school was asked by one of his youthful friends" to listen `to the latter s rehearsal of a lesson in` which there` was a reference to Atla. j.
