CAUSE OF FIRE—AN ENOUIRY, Sirn,—An incident happened here a few days ago which may go a great way to ward explaining the canse of fires, the or- | igin ot which has hitherto remained a mystery. <A neighboring farmer's wife was awakened by a noise in an adjoining room resembling water dripping, and get- ting up to investigate, she found that a box containing a number of tallow candles had taken fire. The candles had made a day or two previously and were carefully placed in a pasteboard box on a shelf. By some means they had taken fire, and the melted tallow falling upon the floor had caused the noise. So hot was the box that when the lady seized it she was severely burned. The wick used in making the candles was common cot ton warp. There was nothing else in the box. Now, if spontaneous combustion is possible under ‘such circumstances, the atey should be informed on the matter. Vould you please direct the attention of Prof. Harcourt to the matter, and ask him to kindly give an explanation of it in your next issue,

INQUIRER North Lake, Feb. 23rd, 1894. MOUNT STEWART TO

THE FRONT,

Sir,—Some time ago there appeared in the columns of Tue Examiver an_ item from West St. Peter’s relative to the pin k and energy possessed by Mr.J.J.McAdam’s fine mare Nancy, she having hauled to Morell starch factory a load of potatoes which tipped the scales at 3,050 pounds, and ina later edition appeared an item conveying the intelligence that the laurels which Naney so nobly won were wrested from her by Mr. Sinnott’s powerfal horse Captain, he having hauled to Morell a load of oats which weighed in the vicinity cf 1,300 pounds. Mr. James Dunn, of Mount Stewart, conscious of the pluek and per severance possessed by his horse Blac k Bill, determined that Captain should no Jonger wear the laurels. Consequently, about two weeks ago he hauled to Mount Stewart depot a load of pork which tipped the seales at 4.503 pounds. A few days ago he took from Charlottetown a load of coal which weighed 3,700 pounds. We eongratulate our worthy friend, Mr. Dunn, on being in possession of such a noble specimen of the equine race. We expect to hear from West St. Peter’s ard More! in the near future.

GvIccIARDIN!

REPLY TO “FAIRPLAY,”

Sir,~—About a month ago there was published in your paper a letter, headed “A Hardworking Clergyman,” giving a} brief account of the Methodist iminisier’s | work at Souris last summer and fall. The account Was not by any means an exagyer ated one, and was literally true in every particular. No one, at the time it ap- peared, thought of calling in question its veracity. It seems, however, that after nearly a month’s pious repose, a writer, signing himself “Fairplay,” has suddenly wakened up to find fault, not with the let- ter itself, but with the heading of it. Why he delaved noticing it so long is best known to himself; but probably inclemency o! weather and obscurity of location had something to do with it. Anyway, as he is desirous that justice be “meted to all men,” I shall try to accommodate him is well as I can.

. And first, let me tell him that the Methodist minister at Souris is no novice in the ministerial harness. He has borne the heat and burden of the day ever since he entered the ministry considerably over a quarter of a century ago; and although now a little the worse for the wear so far as throat trouble is concerned, looks back with pleasure and satis- faction to the time when he used to drive fifty and sixty miles of «a day to fill his oppointments, and that, too, without murmuring or whining, as too many of the tenderfooted youths of the present day are apttodo. He istooold a worker in tlie wissionary field not to know what hard work is. He is still a worker,though at present he does not drive the fifty and the “ten miles further,” which Fairplay” says the other man has to drive. Speak- ing of driving reminds me that that is not the hardest pnrt of a minister’s work. True, if he happens to own a lazy horse, bound when he come toa gate or meets anyone to stop short never to go again, his journeyings to and fro may require a cer- tain amount of manual labour that makes life on the road not as easy as it might be. ! Sut a minister’s work is surely not to be reckoned by the long drives he makes, so much as by the solid mental and moral work he puts forth in the pulpit, in the Sunday school, in the home circle and in his intercourse with the world. Everyone acquainted ith the minister at Souris knows that in these respects he ranks among the best. He can, therefore, aftord to treat with silent contempt the unfair in- ~inuations of “Fairplay,” who ought to know, by this time, that the Methodists of Souris, though few in number, are not an “unruly set,” that they are peace abiding citizens, having the good will of other denominations, as evidenced by the large number of persons who attend the Sunday services in their church. Yours,

OvrsIDer.

MK. DILLON DEFENDED,

Sin.—In the issue of the Weekly Patriot of the 15th inst., there appeared a communication over the signature of J. W.

and@everely censuring Mr. T. J. Dillon for me remarks alleged to have been made by that gentleman before the Carleton Agricultural Society, at a meeting held at Manotick, Ontario.

Mr“Hughes should know that. all animals are bred in most instances for the purposes for which they are intended, and in the case of pigs the principle of evolu- tion is most apparent. The hog in its wild and savage state possesses a massive

It becomes apparent that + by a series of evolving circles we have an animal completely, transformed, destitute of some of its old characteristics, new ones being acquired, and thus we have the hum- anized hog under the most evidently changed conditions, that what he gained

The pigs that Mr. Dillon was forced to
