The Marquis of Donegal, who, al­ though he haa been married three times, has hitherto been childless, has become a father at the age of 82. He marired his third wife, a daughter of Henry Twining, of H alifax, Nova Beo­ tia, at the beginning of the year. 8he is 22 years of age.

Aa Instance of Orowth. I t is a pleasure, in thia day of great industrial combinations, to note an instance where an independent concern haa attained to mammoth proportions, and has grown steadily bat surely for years from a small beginning into the fullness of the present time* Such an institution is cited in the seed business of D. M. Ferry A Co., who for nearly , half a century have gqne forward each year, constantly adding new customers and retaining a ll its old ones, until it is today the source of seed supply from which the great crops of this country spring, 8ee4 houses have come and gone— some survived and flourished for years, but finally succumbed for one reason or another— while Ferry’ s kept growing all the tim e. Thousands of farmers, gardeners and flower growers look them year-after yeS f for thS” seeds from which the prosperity of their fields and gardens is to grow, and the fact that they are never disap­ pointed in Ferry’s seeds is the secret of the wonderful expansion of this pop­ ular firm. You can buy their seeds in every city, town or hamlet of this land, and you are always certain that they are fresh, true to name and sure to grow.
