Thti refund will likely be made to those 'owns and villai.'ea which have bean, for the last tliiee yearn, conlriliutinf; to the support of rural achuoli, and rifhtlyso. Now the other side. At the same meeting of the C'lUtity CouiM'il a deputation, onsistmK of the ins|ieut(ir and several educatiniiists waited u(ion the council and asked them til iiicrenxe thecouniy •;rant to school! doiiii; coiitinualion class work to doubt* the aniriuiit of last year's giunt. The council raised the grant 50 per cent. Any money spent in education is well spant. The town of Durham for instance will uet a ifrant this year of $755 instead of la.st year's $570. Ecremont's assesanient is some live times as lartrens that of Durham, yet Egroiiiont lust year received from the county the sum of $37.50, Uiiiy one or two schools do contiii jution work, and we venture to say that there are no mora in any of the townhhips of this cout.ly, yet they ate asked to support schools carried on almost altogether, in towns and tillages thai receive the refund. The town of Hanover, which town Dr. Meariis repre- sents at Owen Sound, will receive $1(X> refund and will itet an inci eased grant this year of over twice thai sum, paid mainly by the niuiiicipalities from which the re- fund ctiines. If the towns object to pay- ing rural school taxes, liie rural munici- palities object, and object H'reiiuously to any incre.ixe to .schools in tlie town^.

DRs.KENNEDr&KENNEDY Cor. Michiifan ® Griswold Sts. Detroit, Hlch. Herbaceous Perennial Flowers. Bulletin No. 5, second series, has been issued from Ottana. This deals with herbaceous perennial plants, with numer- iiiis iltuHtrations. It is invaluable to any- one who desires to plant this kii.d of Hiiwer for docuralive purposes. The authnr. Prof. Macorn, in his preface says: There is a rapidly growing interest in HoweiR in Canada, and the increased demand for information regarding them during recent years is very marked. 'Cliildren aie being taught to cnrc for tl iwers ill the public .•thools, and many lioiticultur'il societies in the cities, towns and \ i Uges are awakening a greater inteie^t in horticulture. There have also been lecturers sent to different paits of Canada to interest the people, who have spread much useful inforinatieu. Much horticultural literature has been availaHs in recent years in attractive books, and in the repot ts and bu'letins issii.'d free tiy the public instil utiuni to whoever a.tked for ihein. Theso have nil had their iitluunco, and the result h.is been a glowing desire on the i>art of Canadiiins to beautify their home surrnundingi by the planting of trees, shrubs and herbace- ous plants. The Central Expe;imental Farm has, for more than I wenty yeais, been a bureau of information to those who snught for greater kiniwledgc in growing iilauta, and in order thr.t the information slmuld te of the most pr.ictical and reliable character, ex pel intents were begun in 1887, to de- termine the kinds 'if plants most desirable to L'l'oW. A botanic garden, comprising sixty-live acres of land, was e.slabli.shed in I8H7, in which it. was plannod to test aa many specitH and Viuielies of trees, shrubs and hi-rbaoeous plants as could be brought to- gothei theie. In 1899 a list was publish- c I of tlio trees and shrubs whiciilnd been tested up to that time, wih notes on t'lo.r h.irdiness. The rapidly growing interest in herbaceous perennials has made it Roem necessary to notv publish a list of theso [ilanls, and in this buibirin 2, 1 Id species and varieties repie.'Jciiliiig 'JMO teiiera tfs'ed in the .Arboretuin ai.il ISiitanio iiaiden aie recurded. This large c ill.tction hat been obtained from botan c gardens, luirseiymeii, si'edsmen and private individuals in many parts of the world, Hiid while there is a large number of kinds yet to bc'obtained the collection is a v'lry represciitaiiveone. The work wn bo obtained fiee, by tliosu who would profit by it by writing to Wm, Saunders, director of experimental farm.s, I Ottawa. Wanderings in Old Virginia. Dear Mr. Editor: AVheii I was but a small boy, fireside stories of the great wtuggle then going on between the Nui-th and South made vivid impressions <m my memory. The valor of the Confederates and their heroic struggle against overwhelming odds aroused my boyish sympathy. The dream of my early days wa-s » trip to thvS South. Kt hist it has become a reality. A run .of foui-teen hours from Toronto brings up at Baltimore, Maryland ; thence ii Kiiil of twelve hours down Chesajjeake Bay, a distance of alwut 190 miles, brings C)ld Point Comfort, Vu., into view. This is historic giound. Memories of Captain John Smith and hi.s rescue by Pocahontas, the daughter of the mighty Indian chief, Pocohat«n;the struggles of the Elizabethan e.xplorei-s ulu.ster around this point. It was near this j)lace that the ,l)attle Ixitween the Mewinuu! and Monitor in the Civil war occuiTed. A short distince from here lies Yorktown where Lord dirnwallis Kiirrenderc<l to Washington. At present the event im evei^ lip is the return of the American fleet of sixteen vessels from its trip around the world. AW the rooms at the hotels are engaged in advance ; standing room is at a premium. Fortress Monroe, the strongest fortified , ])oint on the eiLstom coast of the United St<ites, and the navy yards at Portsniouth are dressing up for the occasion. The retiring President and the President-elect, the Senators and would-lie-Senators will l)o there to give i\ fitting welcome to the nation's defen- ders. Flags will fly, guu.s will boom, onitors will orate and the Ameriuin e;igle scream and smir to higher air than ever reached befme in hiuinr of the occiusion. Norfolk, Portsmouth and the site of the Jamestown Exposition lie a few- miles south nnd in full view from ( )ld Point, while Newport News isashmt distance up the liiiy. The combined i ;:*J poijulation reaches al«iut 200,000. The country for miles around Ls" low and flat, the soil is a poor ochre colored .s-and. With Lirge additions uf fertilizer it grows garden truck. The largo farms of four or five thoii.sand acres of slavery days have grown ii)) with pine or oak. In some jMirts a .sec(jnd crop of timber is Ijcing cut. The land is v.tluable largely for its timber. For fanning puip<ises it is in many parts almo.st worthless. (hie farmer from Minnesota sold out his f.irni there for ^,000, and invested in a large fai-m in Virginia bringing his horses and cattle with him. He .soon found he could not raise enough fodder for his cattle and after a few years of hard struggle was .soUl out to jviy the W.ince of purchase price on his land. Yet some men are making money out of the .soil by grotting truck and peanuts. In .some cases as high as S?100 per acre may be j :;JS taken for .-i good crop of iit'aiuils.

'Cream of the Kr «r used iji ot l« as fotlder for Rlchard8"-Deans The huint of Mr. and Mrs. .Ins.Deans, Dundalk., was thn scene of an interesting event early Tuesday morning, Feb. 10th, when th eir o nly daughter, Lillian, became the I ride of John E. Richards, the well known general merchant of this place. The wedding was (|uietly per- fcrmed by the Hev. J. J. Fereuson, ^mstor of the Methodist Church. The newiy wedded couple left on the morning train Tuesday for a short honeymocn trip.

In pa.ssing tluuugh the couiitiy here and there may be .seen an old pbintation house, generally in a very dilapidated condition, tho old oittbuiUlings tuinbling in decay. In the l)etter (uirts new houses stjind, large, and with every comfort of a city home. The old Ixittlo fields are a drawing card.- Old veterans for a small fee of fiw i:f .li.i- dvUma will drivo visitors out two or three miles and spend throe or four hours pointing out places of interest. If the Southerners managed to bleed the Northerners like the old guide at Peters- burg tried lo bleed me 1 wonder any- survived the war. Generally the guides are reasonable and the iiouple genei-ally are "tho milk of human kindne.s.s. " Novor have I met a finer people than the old Virginians. They dose shop t<i .show- one around, pross inumeuto.s of the war and ci'.rd.-! u|mui visitors from Canaibi. They ai-e " right glad to see ^'o«, " and urge you to call again. It is hard to get away from them. At the city hall 1 was taken through and introduced to each de|>artment, ami was urged to call again. Some of them had seen Toronto and .said " It is a right smart place. " They possess the art of making one feel at home, and the Virginian of to-day posse.s.scs much of the culture and gentil- ity of the (Jd plantation divys. The weather tor about a week has Ijeen very warm and spring-like. Buds are liursting and the gras.s is starting. Cattle out u» the fields are grazing although there is not much gi-owth. For me it has been uncomfort^ibly warm and at night with open tmnsom and window one sheet was Hutticient covering. T\i- diiy it is colder, and overcoat and glove.s are re(|uired. If time permits I will tell you of some old veterans and the battle-fields in the next. ~- V. W. Chadwick.
