j courts decorated beautifully with 

 various colored corn, cut in var- 

 §|B|$5^ ious sha Pes, and set to form 

 beautiful designs, along the cor- 

 nice, on the ceilings, and up the 

 columns. But in our opinion 

 this is too artificial, and Canada's 

 court trimmed with grains in a 

 pretty but more natural style, is 

 more sensible, and more instruc- 

 tive ; indeed, with the trophies 

 of the Experimenaal Farms, the 

 Ontario Agricultural College, and 

 the provincial exhibits, it will 

 constitute a great triumph of 

 skill. 







" How much are your water- 

 melons ? " 



"Two dollars each, sir." 



" Has Mr. Blank bought any 

 of you at that price ? " 



" We send one to his house 

 every day." 



" I just wanted to know. He 

 is cashier on a salary of eight 

 hundred dollars a year, and I'm 

 on his bond for ten thousand 

 dollars. Water-melons are very 

 healthy, but if Blank can eat 'em 

 at two dollars apiece, he must 

 find another bondsman." — Wall
