A Joint Stock ipany was formed there, and a few MO six acres of ground were pur- 4 adjoining the railways at the west of Toronto, where the present ex- Ive works were erected. IHK rEESENT BUILDrHGS. « premises now occupied by the J are certainly very complete and BBive. There looms up a vast build- lor series of buildinsta, of brick, with 'le frontage of 750 feet and four jinheight. Itwould reqniretoomuch to undertake to give here any de- description of these fine buildings. ley were erected far this express pur- »nd planned by practical men with years of business experience, they todels of convenience and adaptation business. To give some idea of extent it may be here stated that [jor space alone of tJiese buUdings ita to nearly 200,000 square feet, or four and a-half acres, and would iual to one vast floor of ^one mile in li and thirty-seven feet in width. In bafldlngs the entire work is carried |allita departments â€" foundry, black- Qg, iron-finishing, wood- working, ig and storage. balldings are located alongside of mcipal railway liaes running rh Toronto,and there are sidings di- throagh the premises, so that car jf raw material, such as iron, steel, [r, paint staffs, «nd the like, are de- 1 at the doors, and car loads of corn- machines are loaded directly on the for the places of tranaUpment. THE LABOB BMPLOYED. 350 to 450 hands are constantly ed in these works. As a large pro- J of the men are skilled arcizans, |uly all of them strong able men, full prime, it wHl be at once seen urge number of ^families,â€" enough te a thriving village of themselves, irectly dependent on the success enterprise. The men are of more rdinary intelligence, and of temper- Hts, and the fact that, as a whole, kke auch a deep interest in the bu«i- one of the important factors of It may be here mentioned that ibtary and reading room was open- r months ago for the benefit of iloyees. Thore is a large well- well-fnmished cheerful room with the leading representative id magazines in the various de- lta of literature, to which every access without charge. The of- )1 encouraged to note the interest ten in this fine hall. At noon and irtain evening hours a large num- le men may be found assembled ijoying the rich intellectual repast laid before them. Hall has also been provided for concerts, lectures, and the like, mediate benefit of the men and ^milies, and also another large 1^, capable of holding from six " hundred people, for still itharings. It is quite prob- it in thu, regular religious ser- soon be established by some of ihurches,â€" the Company freely 'g the room, lighted and heated 'anOBe, but not desiring, as a to take special control of the re- ffvices.

Bvaiy bind«r here made ia put to a aerare teat before it is dedared complatad, and I am informed that the demand for them is be- ooming very great. Aboat fifteen each day are being completed uid it is doubtful if the demand of tiie ooming season will not be in exoess of the rapj^y. The " Massey Harvester," a self-tak- ing machine is also being extanaively manofactnred, and it has enjoyed a large sale for many years. Probably no other reaper is moie extensively in use in the hitfvest fields of Canada, and the Com- pany have long sti^ed their reputation on its excellence. It may be here stated that aU the knives for the various machines are manufac- tured on the premises. It is daimed that this is the only firm in Canada mannfao- turing its own seetien knivea. They look small, but in the process of cutting, shap- ing, tempering, poli-hing and shapening every section passes through the huids of nine experienced workmen, and a con- siderable machinery specially adapted to the purpose is used. There are many elaborate and expensive iron working ma- chines specially made for these works. HOBSS BASES. Probably no where else in Canada is there anytiiing like as large a number of steel tooth horse rakes manufawstured as here. The " Sharp's Horse Bake " is the only kind made. Everything in coimeO- tion with the rake is manufactured on the premises. The machines by which the wheels are made are such as would well repay a long journey of any carriage maker to see. The procesd of making and tempering the steel teeth ia also very ingenious and elaborate. How so many thousands of these rakes can find yearly sale is a matter of wonder, and yet the demand has grown from year to year. FOB BSPAIBS. The great drawback to many a valuable harvest machine is its danger of breaking just when the hurry is greatest. Where machines are severely tested be- fore being pronounced finished the danger is not so great but " accidents will happen " even to the bast tried machinery. Arrangements have been made to supply any desired piece of any machine with the least possible delay. A lanre room is stored with completed parts, piled up in large stalls and ready for shipment at a moment's notice. Doiingthe busy season a man is always ready for a call, and tele- graph and telephone offices are on the premises, besides several expressservioes a day, so Uiao not a moment ia allowed to be lost. HOW SOLD. Comparatively few machines, I am told, are ever sold at the works. A show room is fitted up with facilities to show every ma- chine in actual motion, but its demand is not very great. Theagents of the company are scatrered abroad ia every one of the Provinces, and through these the sales are being made. There is a branch house in Winnipeg and the sales in Manitoba are very large. At one time last year a special train of twenty one cars loads was shipped direct to Winnipeg, and almost every day during the season some car loads are being sent. Shipments hj the car load from April till the end of the season are of daily occur- rence. I am informed that an agent is also employed pnrcha^ir lamb«r expressly for the company, and, bedng an erpen- enced man at such business, they are always fortunate in getting a good quality. The samples of paints, oils, and the like, are also put to severe practical tests I before quantities are ordered, and then they are mixed and ground by machinery on the premises. Though nothing is done in the way of newspaper advertising, yet some thou- sands ot dollars are being expended each year in reaching the public. A very neatly printed paper of sixteen pages, â€" " Massey's Illustrated," is issued m im- mense editions and sent to every available farmer in the Dominion. Any man drop- ing a post-card with his name and address to the company will be gratuitously sup- plied with a copy. There are many other features of im- portance in connection with this large establishment of which I would like to write, but I fear I have already tres- passed too much on your spade. A YlBIIOB. 'â-  ' Tbe British Nayy. In the House of Lords the Earl of Northbrook, First Lord of the Admiral- Ity, said that the British navy was sn- perior to that of France cr any other nation. He said it was the intention of the Government to build thirty toroedo boats. Ten of them had abeady been ordered. With regard to tbe naval de- fences of the various colonies of G(reat Britain, the Earl of Northbrook gave assnranoe that the Govenunent would gladly asaiat lAiem in any way poirible to iminrove the def eneea on their ooaats. The total of threnrolled Tolanteen in Great Britain at the present time u 215^ 000 men, the greatest number yet attained.

Make up into cakes and fry in hot po k fat. Even those who have a rooted pre- judice against parsnips will generally like them in this form. Cliiclceiis and Pills. Dr. Jones, who practises in a suburb of Pniladelphia has an elaborate machine for makint( pills. The doctor's practice is quite extensive and when he puts the machine in operation the result is enough to scare a nervous patient into convales- ceice or fits. Noc long ago Dr. Jones made several quarts of pills and waited for a bright day to dry them. As soon as he got a good look at the sun he spread the pms carefully on the roof of a con- vient outbuilding and drove cff to see his pttients. About half an hour after the doctor's buggy had disappeared Mrs. Jones heard an unusually vociferous sqaawk from the boss rooster of the back y»rd, bnt she had n t cuil li-y enough to in7estigate the cauie, being confidtnt tbat no colored brother would invade the chicken reservation on such a bright day. If she had looked she would have seen the rooster perched on the roof of the out- building eating pills as though he were laying up for seven lean years of famine. Attracted by the rooster's sumtnons to the banquet, and his evident eE j -lyment thereof, one or two hens flew up to the top of Uie shed and proceeded to devour the pils They cackled and clucked a little afcer satisfying their appetites, and more hens came. Then more hens cack- led. Then there were still mote hens and less plls. The increasel volume of the Cickling' indulged in by the hen conven- vention ' finally attracted Mrs. Jones's attention again and ahe went forth to learn the cause. She didn't learn it just then, for the entire cause was concealed within the hens. Not a pill was to be seen. Two or three hens lay on the ground wreathing from the effects of blue mast. The boss rooster sat grimly in a fence comer laboring under a dose of podophyllin. Two or three gay young pullets had been so highly benefitted that they were fighting out the disputed title to a pill that one of them had swallowed. Other fowls staggered about in a dared sort of fashion, as if wondering what was the matter with them. Twohniidred and thirty-seven pills were found in the etaw of one of tbe chickens which was killed for dinner that day. Nobocty nld expli^ bow th^ got there till tbe doetw oame home. He ex- amined the shed roof and the pilla taken from the plain Qbidcen's etaw and said one or two little wotds.

By far the best-looUng men in London to-day are tbe police. The soldiers aan't compare with them. The bard times have evidently induced many farmers' sons and others of superior calibre to en- ter the police force who are persons of education aud have excellent manners. Tet a London policeman receivea only $6 a week. He has a pension, though, if he stays on. The descriptive terms used for neuro- logiciJ conditions are rapidly increaaing in number, and bid fair to make an inter- esting vocabulary. Some of the compari- Hvely recent terms are used by Dr. C. 3. Hughes in the St. Louis Mediieal Journal^ where he describes a patient who **iias anthrophobia, t eing afraid to meet uiy one about the house," and polyphobia, "afraid of everythii^r, sometimes " he has also phobophobia, being "afraid some- thing is going to happen to frighten him." A recent work, 'The London and Pro- vincial Water Supplies," gives the daily consumption of water in London at 141,- 592,772 gallons, or nearly 30 gallons per head of population. Glasgow is fortun- nate in her supply, receiving 60 gallons per head per diem from the pure waters of Lock Kitrine. The writer says il^at the population of London ia now increae- insr at the rate cf 100,000 per year. If this rate continues until 1919 London will: have a popnUtion of about 10,000,000,- aud the water problem will be a very seiious one. A writer in a london paper says: **Themost attractive show at the Jap- aneseries â€" at leaafc for the lady visitors â€" is the hairdresser's shop and the first result of the visit of this little colony is a development in the fashion of tonsorial art. Already I have noticed half a dozen ladias with heads trimmed a la Japanese; and now 1 am assured on the beat author- ity that artists in hur are on their way from Japan, under engagement with two of our best known fashionable West End hairdressers." The Japan village has proved a great success. A wrl er in the MeUeal Times describes the island of Madeira as presenting the caridus anomaly of a country which is destitue ot any wheeled vehicle whai- fcver, a fact doe to the almost complete absence of roads. People travel in ham- mocks, and, with three bearers only, they may journey all day with hardly a halt. The highest temperature of the island in 1885 was 90 » and the lowest 46 » the mean temperature of the months of the whole year varied bnt twelve degrees. Thus, for the winter months, it was 61, 60, 60 spring, 60, 63, 64 summer, 68, 71, 72. and antamn, yO, 69. 64. The French Academy of Sciences re- ceives innumerable letters from people who imsgine they have made some bril- liant discovery. A lady wrote lately that having been suddenly seized wim tbe early symptoms of cholera, she entered a cafe and ordered a class of absinthe, which sue drank. The cholera disap- peared at cnce. The Seoretaxy was com- plimented for his gallantry in reading the lady's very important oommunioation, but was reminded that people attacked by cholera do not genenJly enter cafes, but if forced to do ao, do not asuaUy call fos absinthe.

Martin had agdn asked for the marriage to be solemnized, and bad been put off until 3 P. M., at whidi time the train would arrive with Stevens. The young lady gave as a reason that she wanted to wait for her brother, who would come on the 3 o'clock train. At that hour Stevens, accompanied by her brother, arrived and went to the hotel. The girl then had an interview with each of her lovers, and each of them also telked with her brother. Stevens was the priz4, and the news was broken to Martin as gently as possible. He declared that he loved the girl, but accepted her decision manfully and waa preaent at the wedding. Ha shook hands with his old enemy, and congratulated his ^ride with a kies. The whole party then retnrnt-d on the evening train, Murtin dividing time with Stevens in tdking to the bride on the rettirn trip. The tra^n arrived at 8.39 p.m., and the engineer blew his whistle for five minutes while entering the city. Stevens's father has denied him his house for the part he took in the transaction.

A New Illumisatob â€" In ' Russia experimente are now going on for the production of pyronaphtha,a new illumina- ting material, which is destined, it is con- sidered, to take the place of kwoa^ne. This is a new. illuminating oil, absolute- ly free from danger of fire. An experi- ment waa made as to the power which pyronaphtha baa of extinguishing fire and it waa found that burning kerosene waa easily put out by it. Pyronaphtlia can, however, itself be extinguished by Water. Is is a product of the distilla- tion of naptha rendne, of which large quantities remain from the B«ku distill- ation of petroleum. From these illumin- ating gas te produced, and likewiae py- ronaphtha.
