SLEilGlAII'S HKE AODRESS ON LIEE ' AND WORKS OF, RORERI CORNS

On Tuesday evening, January 5th inat., there assembled in the hall at JlacCrimmon^ a fairly representative gathering of the residents of MacCrim- mon and outlying districts, including Mr. John A. McCrimmon, Reeve of Lochiel, for the .purpose of doing honour to a Scottish yeoman named Ro- bert Bums, who with William Blake, the London boy and artist, became the herald of a new ordef, and the writer of poems in which wc find the loveliest lyrics since the great days of the six- teenth century.

At the hour of- 8.30 o’clock, the artists being present, Mr. William A. MacLeod, chairman elect, took his place behind the desk, and in a most pleasing/ and acceptable manner, made reference to the work of the Young People ’ Society, under whose auspices the concert was given also to the life and character of Burns, making rc- Verence to bis noble qualities as Scots- man and iBard.

The programme w’as opened by bag pipe selections rendered by the Mac- Orimmon, amateur piper, Mr. Peter MaeSweyn, who ^ very efficient manner held his artificial lung under the left arm, filling it to its utmost tapacity with MaeSweyn Air, which when transformed to melodies in the chanter cheered all lovers of Scottish music.

Mr. James Laforce who usual happy element, played several Scotch airs on Ms well trained violin. Mr Lfaforce was accompanied by Mrs. Thomas Clark whose native ability as a musician is worthy of recognition and comment.

Mr. Tom Ley who is an all round corriediau, second only to Lauder, brought rings of applause from the audience, ovciytime lie mounted the platform.

Mr. William Kedpath of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Dalkeith, w:Uo was the guest of honour.- for the evening, .gave a very intefostiiig and graphic account of several outstanding features of towns, cities and rural communities in the Lowlands of Scotland, making ^special reference to Ayr, Burns Birtli- place and to auld Reakie (Edinburg). The Youug People’s Society was delighted to have Mr. RedputU as' its guest of honour, he being the only person present of Lowland extraction. -\n address on tlio life and work of Burns was made by Rev. D. R. Morrison, a portion of whicli is herewith published at the request of Mr. W. A. Mac- Leod. j

The ladies of MacCriiVmon in their usual generous manner, served refresh- ments which were appreciated very much by all presenf.

At the suggestion of Mr. Redpath, the observance of a Burns NighJ^ will possibly, be made an annual event at MacCrimmon. After singing ‘ ^ Auld Lang Syne^’ fol-

lowed by a verse of the Nàtional An- them a very pleasant evening came to a cIo.se ‘

MR. MORRISON’S AÜDRESS 'Bobett Burns the Scottish' poet, was

born, on the 25th of January, 1759 in a cottage about two miles frbm Ayr, a royal, municipal and police burg and sea port, and county town of Ayrshire, Scotland. He was the eldest son of a small fanner, William Burness, of Kincardinshire stock, who wrought hard, practised integrity, wished to bring up his children in the fear of <lod, but had to fight all his days against the winds and tides of adver- sity. However, as Thomas Carlyle puts it, ‘‘the poet was fortunate in his father—a man of thoughtful in- tense character, valuing knowledge, -possessing some and op^n-miuded for more, of keen insight and open heart, friendly and fearless; a fully unfold- •od man seldom found in any rank of <«>ciety, and worth descending far in society to seèk.”

It wâs op a wild wintry night Burns was born. He later sought to explain his own career by saying “No' wonder that one ushered into the world amid such a tempest should be the victim of stor-mr passions^’, While it is generally admitted, that the I>oet’8 life was shadowed by ill-res- trained passion and reckless practices, there is a great deal that is b.rilUanl and chivalrous in his soul. Had he hee-u ever so little richer, the whole might have issued otherwise.

Tt is my purpose to-night to sunder from the shell the soft-glowing col ■oured gem; wash the precious'nuggets of gold from the accompanying dust, and bring before you a soul that belonged to the fine pious stock that has made Scotland what it is.

Through a series of migrations.frofti one unfortunate farm to another ti c poet remained in the same .rendition of straitened circiirastancos. At the

age of thirteen he thrashed corn with his own .hands, at fifteen he was the principal labourer. “This kind of life”, he writes, “the cheerless gloom of a hermit and the unceasing toil of a galley-slave, brought me to my six- teenth year.” His inaturally robust frame was overworked, and his ner- vous constitution received a fatal strain. In the earlier portions of his career a buoyant humour bore him up; and amid thick-coming shapes of ill he bated no jot of heart or hope, lie was cheered by vague stirrings of am- bition. Early in life he became a great reader—eating at meal times with, a spoon in one hand and a book in the other—and carrying a few small volumes in his pocket to study in spare moment^ in the field.

Burns was very ambitious. He pored over his collection of songs. “I pored, over them driving my cart or walking to labour, song by song, verse by verse, carefully noting the true, tender, sub- lime.” He lingered over the ballads in his cold room by night; by day, whilst whistcling at the plough, he invented new forms and was inspired by fresh ideals, gathering round hi^ the memories and the traditions of his country till they became a mantle and a erow'n. ■ It was among the furrpws of his ‘father’s’ field that he was'inspired by-the perpetually quoted w'ish. “That I for poor auld Scotland's sake Some useful plan or book could make.

Or sing a sang at least.” In Robert's 25Éth year his father

died, full of sorrows and apprehension, lor the. gifted son who wrote for his tomb the fine epitaph ending with the characteristic line—“Eor even his failings leaned to virtue’s side. “On the • 13th of February”, he wrote, “Lost the best of fathers” “The tenek'r father and the generous

friend, The pitying heart that ' felt for

human woe, The dauntless heart that feared no

human pride, The frjend of man, to vice alone a ' foe.”

Thus sadly affected by gripf, the better self was roused from indiffer- ouce, and Robert made countless re- solutions to be sober and iudustri- oiîis, and a bread winner for his endow- ed mother and family. He and his brother agr,eod to work the farm; but though the spirit was willing, the flesh hampered by fetters already forged, was unable to bear the ; burdens of farm work. .Old dissipations^ caÿ)tured him. again, an,d ■n'hilc he was drawn by them, he was maddened by èlie oc- casional taunts of conscience, by the ideals of his father, and the instruc- tions of the minister. ■ His antagonis- tic attitude to the Church, made him extremely unpopular with his neigh- bours.

“O y^- wha, are sae guid yoursel; ^?ac pious and sae hoh’,

Ve’vc noqght to do but mark and tell i’’our néebour’s fauts and folly.” Burns had his w'eaknesses, but his

nature was rooted in sincerity and honour. Ho^ won his first fgnie \^’hcn he was 27 years old by a volume of poems for wiiich he received about $100.00 dollars. He lived 37 years, and dowered Scotland with immortal store of song.

Some of BurnJ best writings appeared in tho fir.st volume. The poems To a Mouse, To a Daisy, Tho Twa Dogs, Man was made to Mourn, Tho Enmtlfc to Duvio, Tho Cottar's Saturday Night, were all iu the first voluiUs'. Edin- burg received him with open, arms. The most exclusive doors were flung wide to welcome him, and it savs much for the innate nobility of Burn-5 that such adulation did not turn hts head, nor make him an insufferable Lore swollen witli conceit. In spite of tiie many imperfections of his nature, and the somber garm.jDs of excess he UKive. for himself, thqrc is a SOUL some- where. Tha^ soul shows itself in Ms sympathy with ;oature and”" the discern- ment with which he viewed her ways. To a wee crimson-lipped dai.s.v upon which he comes on the hills as he is idoughing, he says:

“We, modest, ciimaon-tipped flower, Tliou’s met me in an evil hojir; For I maun crush amang tho stoure

Thy slender stem; To spare thet‘ now is x>ast my power,

Thou bonnie gem!

Such is the fate of simple bard, On life’s rough ocean luckless star-

r’d! Unskilful lie to note the card

Of prudent lore, Till billows rage, and gales bîo^^ hard,

» And whelin him o’er!

“Even thon wlio mounr’st the. daisy’s fate,

Is It Fair ? The Glengarry News sent out

during December, to subscribers

who w'ero in arrears over two years, accounts, which in the ag- gregate totalled a large amount. Many of these accounts have been repeatedly sent and those receiving them have apparently ignored them. -If ’^his catches the eye of any of those who received these accounts we would like them cither to send the amount or else do us the courtesy of stating why they do not do so. It costs .a lot of money in the course of the year to mail these accounts and takes up a lot of valuable time. Wc are trying to^ publish a good, up-to-date news- paper, and it would be a great liclp to u.s to have these subscrip- tion accounts settled. Wo do not like to send out this notice at this time of the year, but business is business, and we can’t run ours on overdue subscriptions.

Op.y. T. Hope Broadens His Field

It is pleasant indeed for us to announce that one of our leading Glen- garry physicians has added to his other attaininonts in .the field of medical science a complete post-graduate eburse in optics and refraction. Many of our readers have in the past been ohligml to make tedious arid expensive trips to -the larger cities when afflicted with eye trouble. It will not only be a great convenience but a source of satisfaction to all that wo now have in our midst one who is fully qualified to treat diseases of the eye. His many friends throughout tho county will be delighted to learn of his complete mas- tery of this difficult subject. Wo feci asHUi’ed that Dr. Hope’s siicccs.s’. in this new field will bo on a par with his- former triumphs as a general practi- tioner. ..Q

Mr. Ceralil Ealonde Promoted Mi'. Gerald Lalonde who for the past

five years has bpon a valued member of the staff of. the Bank of Nova Sco- tia here, and during which period he advanced by merit to the post of teller- accouutaut, has been named chief clerk of the branch of that institution locat- ed at Hull, Que., Mr. Lalonde who left j Tuesda)", evening to take up Ms new; duties was one of Alexandria’s leading] young citizens and by his courteous and j obliging manner was highlj’’ regarded by customers of the bank who will join with us in congratulations upon his jiromotion and the hope that is is but a stepping stone to further acknow- ledgement of good work performed^ Mi-.

Eate of King Government In The Ralance

The fifteenth Parliament of Canada is now in 'session. Friday, opeuing day, proved the most exciting in years as the two major political parties, liberals and Conservatives, lost not an instant in coming to grips in a parliamentary political death struggle. In tho first minute in the business session that afternoon, Hon. Ernest Lapoiute, Govern- mot leader, sprang a sensational surprise by moving a motion of confid,eiice and immediately thereafter Bt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Conservative Chief- tain, presented a motion of want of confidence. Throughout the afternoon and evening se.ssions the battle proceeded. Much heat nnd little light well describes the situation over the week end. But it was soon made apparent that the two groups were angling for tho support of the Progressives and each suc- ceeding day as the situation becomes more acute and the feeling more in- tense, the bids for support of the gin- ger group are much in evidence, to that degree that Hon, Mr. Guthrie made the statement on the floor of the House that Mr Meighen w;is ready to “carry' on” tho responsibility of Government without a general election.

The speeches of Progressive members to date show they are not all of one mind. Two already have declared they will not support the. Liberals and Miss Agnes McPhail, \tho cannot endorse either party, may refrain from voting.

It is expected that a vote will be taken this (Thursday) night Or during the early hours of Friday, which will finally decide the question as to the retention or rejection of the present ad- ministration.

MR. T>. W. MUUNKO Another of tlie old pioneers of the

(’ounty is removed by the death of cD. W.‘Munro, Esq., Martintown which occurred on the third day 6f Jan. at the advanced aê of uinety-four at his

late residence King’s Road. Tho late Mr. Munro was a son of

William Munro and his wife Janet Ross. He married early in life, Mary McGregor, daughter of Duncan McGre- gor and his wife Margaret Muhro.

Ho resided for some years after his marriage on liot 24-9th Concession Charlottcnburgh l)ut in the early six- ties he disposed of this and jmrehased the old homestead where his wife was born, from licr brother IliighMcGregor. Hero he rc*raainc.d until his death.

He was held in great respect by the community where lie was known, for his many sterling qualities and up- rig)Hn|ss.

He was in many respects .a. remarkable man, never known ta be ill during his long life of nearly a century; he was bright and active up till the. lime of his death. He simply slept away.

Blessed witli a ■wonderful memory and acute powers of observation, he was always keenly interested in the early settlement of tho county particularly that'part played by the United Empire Loyalists He possessed a fund of information that made him an exceptionally well informed man in that respect. He had lived ko long ami seen so much himself of the progress made, but a large part of the earlier informa-' tion was obtained from his wife’.s mother who had^mado her homo with her daughter after her husband’s death and after Mr. Munro liad purchased the old homestead. Margaret Munro, her name, was, the youngest (Jaughtcr of Hugh Munro and his wife Catherine, Campbell; she was one of the first children to be born in the new settlement. ^

Hugh Munro settled on the adjoining farm to the south of the McGregor property iu the summer of 1784, and some four or five years later his daughter was born. She also lived tp be ninety-four, dying about 1884. Always bright and ready to talk of her younger days when there was no open e-oipi- try, but one dense foresL with no build-

.ings in sight. She possessed the early experiencq and information that D. W. Munro “was always ready to learn. By this means he was able to acquire information not open to many.

He leaves of o familyjj tw'o sons and two daughters. William'and Janet on the homestead, Mrs. James. McArthur, River Road, and Duncan, a mining engineer ill New Mexico.

The funeral took place at 2:30, Tues- (Jay, January 4th, to the North Branch, Cemetery, the service being conducted by the Reverend John Murray, of St. Andrews Church, Martinto'^n.

The p.illbearers were Messrs. Ernest Ostrom, M. D. McMartin, W. A. Munro, Thomas Ross, Charles Munro and M.' Mc.Millan. *

Glengairy Fresliylml W. M. S. United Churcli

A' very successful meeting of the exe- cutive of the Glengarry Presbyterial W.M.S. United Church of Canada, was

heUl in Knox Church, Cornwall, Mon- day and Tuesday, Jan. 11th and 12th witli 19 members preaeitt. Tho Presi-

dent occupied the chair at both sessions

and reports were heard and delibera- tions carried on with much despatch. The reports of the various secretaries and vice-presidents wore most encour- oging, showing enthusiasm and a general spirit of hopefulness for the future. Tho prospective amalgamation of the uniting societies in April was dis- fcussed and possible arrangements made,

A most pleasii»g feature of the meeting was the presence of Mrs. Earl Jones of Toronto, Treasurer of the Interim Board of' the Women’s Mis- sionary Societ.l^ of the United Church, who addressed the mooting and in her vivid way told of tho work done by the Interim Board. All wore thrilled with the evident spirit of hopefulness and good-will which is pennei^ting ,all proceedings toward Cniou. 'Mrs. Jones was .also of much value in the business proceedings of tho meeting.

The Finance Secretary reported a very cneouragiug year and stressed the importance of each Auxiliary raising the quarter of its year’s allocHtion by the end of March to precede the first United Annual Meeting iu April.

This, the last meeting of the Exe- iUitive preceding the re-orgauizatiou; to lake place nt the Annual Meeting in Knox Church, Cornwall, early in May, was soiemniy closed with prayer by Mrs. Harris of Maxvîlîe.

49IH ANNUAL CUNIENIIUN UF THE

WJuit, proved to be the most successful of the forty nine conventions of tho Eastern Ontario Dairymen^* As- sociation ■was /leld on Wednesday and Thursday. 6 Ih and 7th Jan., at King- ston. The attendance was exceptionally good and while there was not as much discussion as was the case some years ago when the industry was not so prosperous, interest was keen and the several addresses were well received.

RAISE ONTAIUO’S STANDARD Probably tho most significant an-

nouncement ■was that of Dairy Direc- tor George Barr of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, v.-Jio intimated that the Goveriuncnt would shortly get after unsanitUry cheese factories. “Most factories are tuniijjg out cheese that ha.s no. equal anywhere in the world,” stated Mr. Barr, ‘‘but others are not, and wc propose in the near future to look into this condition. There is strict supervision over practically all other factories making foodstuffs, and there is no reason ’^''hy similar regulations should not apply to those mauufactming cheese. We must get a'way from the idea that cheese^ making is a dirty, rioppy job. Those Offending Factories.

There was very little critisism when Mr. Barr stated emphatically that “there are some cheese factories oper ating today which will not be opera- ting next year.” If a maker persists iu turning out low-grade cheese, Mr. Barr proposed that the Government cancel his license. The maker will bo protected by being ordered to turn a'way all dirty milk, and the man sending in such aII,article will not bo al- lowed to make further shiimients for a month. In co-cperaîvely owned factories Mr. Barr will take steps to pro- tect tho maker from the man who threatens to, dismiss the maker re.fu8ing dirty milk. Mr; Barr also proposed to grant three grades of certificatesto all makers- on their records, and to is- sue two-year permits, “It is doubtful whether we have improved in the clean''- Jiucss in our cheese factories during tho past twenty years,” concluded the liead of the Ontario Dairy Branch. “But I am giving you fair warning that the manufacture of inferior cheese iu dirty factories must stop.” Use of Alfalfa Urged.

Dairymen were keenly interested in the, address of J. A. Carroll, Ontario Department, on alf.alfa, ‘You have little control over the price of an ex- port dairy product like cheese and butter,” stated-Mr. Carroll, “but you can control the cost of production to

a large extent.” Ho advised all dairymen to try some alfalfa. According to Mr, Carroll this legume will grow almost anywhere in Eastern Ontario, ' where the propeV seed i's used and tho , same imioculatcd with the right cul- ture before planting. stated, will outyiold the ordinary hay crop by one and and a quaher tons per acre. It is deep rooted and therefore defies ord:nary draught.

It improves the raechanic:il quality of tho soil, loo'&ening up - heavy clay and making it more easily ..worked. Unlike timothv' and most other crops it adds to the fertility of the soil. “No protein, uo milk,’^ he pointed out, “but iu alfalfa you hate twice as much pi^teiu as thoio is in red'clover and four timo.s .as. much as there is in timothy.”

Alfalfa, accordiAig to this speaker, chokes out weeds, is fairly easily handled and makes a palatable nutri- tious feed for.dairy cattle.”

President W. H, Olmstead, in opening the convention, stated that dairymen had much iff be grateful for in the year just closed. “Prices were much above .the year previous,’^ he said, “and the milk flow was about tho largest on record.” Tribute to Late E. H. Stoneliouse

Tribute was paid to the late E, II. .Stonchouse of Weston and, to othe** pj'omiuciit dairymen who have passed on during the, last yeAr.

There was a good di.spjay of - cheeso and butter' iu tne .exhibition held in connection witli^ the convention. A gftat iniprovcnieut was noticed bi the way this was put up and displaj’cd, the finishing^ of tho cheese being parti- ^ cularly good.

toral charge of Finch and Crysler, Pub-

lic Worship''was conducted by Rev.

Uunilreils Palronizn The Kenyan Euchre

The fame of the good people of,Ken- yon, as entertainers and providers, ■undoubtedly accounted for the big attendance at the formal opening of Alexander Hall, kince its renovation, on Wednesday evening of this week.

Scores ■were checked up about 10.30 and after a number of valuable prizes had been awarded to tho ladies and gentlemen fortunate to win them, lunch was served iji the basement of the hall by the ladies committee and an abundance of delicious refreoh- inents was served at tables that ac- commodated some 150 at a setting.

Upon returning to the main hall a couple of hours were socially spent, tho pleasures of which were auênted by the fine selections on the Ortho- phonie Victrola kindly placed at tho disposal 'of the committee by Messrs.

Of Interest to Farmers WINTER CARE OF DAIRY COWS

D n. T. Brooks, The dairy cow normally produces tlu' greatest

quantity of inilk per day in the early summer on pasture. She» does this for several reasons. Her maximum production occurs at this time because she is surrounded by certain natural conditions which make for high milk production.

She has an abundance of succulent feed whicli is extremely palatable and contains the right amount of protein, that great milk builder. She has all the feed .she wants and needs to produce a high quantity of milk and it is feed she likes very well. ' Shj is comfortable. She has freedom of moyejnent. The temperature is normally moderate, nijthcr too cold nor too hot. Her surroundings aro clean. She gets plenty of sunlight. She breathes nothing but fresh air as nature intended. She gets all the'exercise she needs. there is a stream pure running water in the pasture sKe has water at will. Grass contains all the minerals and vita- mins .she needs and must have to produce mi],k of good quality. ^

' The nearer we come to approaching these conditions in winter care of dairy cow.s, the nearer we will come to obtaining the maximum amount from our cows.

Under natural conditions, cow.s will freshen m the. spring. But a fall fre.sh cow will produce more milk during her lactation period than if she freshened in the .spring. Reverse it. Bet the dairy cow begin her period of lactation in the fall. Then she will give a large amount of milk in the fall becahse she is .just fresh and again in the spring because she gets the luscious green, grass of May and June. . ■ , ,

Comfortable housing of dairy cow.s jn stables, that are 'well lighted, well ventilated, and, where the temperature is moderate and even, is the nearest wc can approach the normal (mndition.s of early summer and it approaches these conditions nearer than we can imagine. Direct rays of the sun ought to srtike the cowhand the place where she stands at least once each day, if the sun appears that often Fresh air in continuous slow" circulation should reach the corv’s nostrils every hour of the day and

^ night. The construction o-f tlie, dairy stables should d)e°such that the temperature is almost tJie sanu- at all times, not, too hot nor too cold. Ihuler tlics<- conditions .she will give'more milk, at least, than if kept in a/dark, danrp, close barn with no ventilation and with the temperature below' freezing. . IÏÔW' can we make the dairy cow comfortable, allow for freedom of movement and give her plenty of exercise in the wdiiter ? By keeping, her head in stanchions that swing, not in the old time stocks, and by letting her out in tli^ barnjmrd for a little time each day \ ' , '

'Corn silage seems to be the cheapest and most satisfactory source of succulence for dairy cows in the winter and some kinds of leguhie hay and grain wilf give the nece.ssary, amount of protein. Dairy, men and the cow Herself prefer alfalfa or clover hay. The dairy cow like's all the alfalfa or clover hay and eofn silage she will eat up clean. She gets some protein in the le'guine hay. With legume hay, she needs a grain ration, if any, consisting of 12 to-14.per cent digestible protein, and with mixed hay,’16 to 18 per cent digestible protein,' and with timothy hay, which she ought never to cat, '20 per cenb digestible protein. Wheat bran, ground oats, corn meal or hominy, oil meal, and gluten feed are the feeds mpst ,cpmmonly mixed together to make the grain ration. Equ^part,-! of these make a very palatable and satisfactory grain ration with legume hay and corn silage, if fed 1 poun^d for every 3 to 4 pounds of milk produced. If the dairyman, who raises pats, barley, and peas, will mix them ivitli gluten feed, one-third of the latter aii4 two-thirds of the oats mix:ture, the good results \vill surprise him.

The dairy cow needs saltiand all she wantsi she ought to have. She needs a mineral mixture, hjqual parts of salt, steamed bone meal, and calcium eay- bonpte, mixed together and put in the grain ration, throe pounds .(ÿ mineral mixture to each 100 pounds of grain ration will help materially in supplying this need.

■ A good dairy cow, if fed alfalfa or clover hay and corn silage liberally twice'daily, with a pinch of the mineral mixthre, will surprise her owner At the quantity of milk 'she will produce ; at least at the profitable quantity. But the good dairy cow, the cow worth keeping, will produce more milk and kepp at it longer if aided with a good grain niixture. ,

The dairy cow feels better and produces more if .she is brushed and curried once each day. Her owjier has more self respect if he keeps her sur- roujidings neat and clean.

A little ground limestone, cheap though valuable, sprinkled on the floor and gutter changes the' appearance and wliplesomcness of a dairy stable -quite materially, besides- ineroasiiig the value of tlu; manure when placed on the load.

Have some respect- for the good daii-y /•ot\'. treat her well, and she will more than rewai’d >'ou

a good flow of milk.

' The first consideration in production is to gain lexperienee; this may be obtained by working for ! a season or two with a commercial beekeeper or it I it may be acquired, more slowly, by keeping one ' or two colonies, which is the maximum advised for any beginner to start with.—None but. modern

' equipment is recommended. While gaining experience, he will learn that all

operations must be done at the proper time, *that slip-shod methods will not do, and he will also have an opportunity of deciding, before investing his money, whether or not he likes the work. ■

Much money has been wasted by over anxious, inexperienced beginners imbued with the idea that beekeeping wa-s-an easy way of getting rich quickly.

Hating- decided on taking up the work, he will do well to conform to the beekeepers' etiquette, the Golden rule, which is to abstain from locating in an already crowded district. And lot him remember that his duty to his neighbour as well as to him-

■self is to wage incessant war on disease should it attack his eoldnies.

BITTER îiIILK

(Experimental Farms Note) Exposed as it is to contamination, not only in

tthe stable, but also with every subsequent handling, milk is always infected to a degree, depending upon the sanitary conditions employed,'by many types of bacteria which find in it ideal conditions for growth. Horae bacteria cause no noticeable change while others, by aff(K;ting the color, cojisistency, odour or flavour, qfteu Injures the milk to such an extent gs to remiser it, us well as products made from.it, worthless.

A bitter taste in milk is occasionally due to sju-cific substances in the feed which are absorbed

I into the milk. In such cases, the milk is liitter iwhen drawn, while the remedy lies in t-emoving the j offending feed. Other eases, often epidemic in na- tui'e, arise where hittern/^ss develops after tlie milk is drawn and ii) .such instances bacteria are the cause of tile trouble. As this frequently occurs even where sanitary conditions are. in general good, the source of the trouble is often hard to locate and re- move. In an investigation conducted at the Centkal Experimental Farm, studies were made of eondi- tio.ns affecting the production of bitterness con- nected with an outbreak where bacteria were fouqd to be the cause. The bacteria themselves were found to belong to a group occurring naturally ill Water supplies and contamination from the uten-sils is believed to be the sources. Remedial measures, th'eh, sliould comsist iu paying s'pecial care to the cleaning and sterilization of all containers, by using scalding water or steam as a final treatment. Final wiping with a cloth is to be discour- aged.

' The production of bitterness by the bacteria was |ound to be-encouraged by contact of milk with air, êîther by increasing the c^lposed surface or by agi tatioUi JVhen milk is stored any length of time it is better,-In dealing with hitter'milk trouilles, to keep the cxpo.sed surface at a minimum in propor- tion to volume and to minimize agitation'. Fur- thermore, the bitter bacteria studied were found to be more rc.s'istant to heat than the majority fac- teria. It was found that imperfeetly pa.steurized milk was specially prone to turn bitter due to the greater re.sistaiice to heat of tho Hitter (bacteria than tliat of other germs able to kee)i the formef in check. Pasteurization, then, should he thor- ough, and when there fe danger of bitterness de- veloping, it would appear advisable to exceed the usual time or temperature commonly employed.

In e.xperimeuts conducted at the Ohio Experi- ment iStation, direct sunlight induced tlie formation of well-calcified bones, and prevented lameness and paralysis of pigs. Direct sunlighj also ju-eveiited and cured leg weakness in growiii.g eliicks, and witli laying hens increased the jiroduetioii and liatelia-

bility of eggs. In the light of these experiments, R. M. Bethke,

A COMING COLUMNIST

A teacher asked one of her pupils to write a brief stoi-y aiiout the rain. After much tliought the boy produced the following : What does the rain say to the dust? ‘I’m on to you, and your name is mud.’ ” :

“Toll Me Another,” by Lord Aber- deen, Is Pull of Amusing Stories-^ IVe Quote a Few, One ot AVhlch jts a Puzzler.

An Englishman who had a Scots- man as a gùest at a restaurant inquired towards the end of the meal, "Now, will you take an ice or à meringue?” To this the guest replied, “No, you are richt.”

When this anecdote, told by the Marquess of Aberdeen in his interesting new book, “Tell Me Another,” was published some time ago in Lon- don Tit-Bits, many readers wrote to the editor saying that they could not "see” it, and asked to be enlightened as to the point of the joke.

To others who find themselves similarly handicapped. Lord Aber- deen says; “The key could probably bo obtained by asking someone, pre- ferably Scottish, to repeat the inquiry of the story several times over.”

There are many other equally quotable anecdotes in this book. Par- ticularly interesting are the stories related to the author by well-known people he has met. Here is a good one told him by the late Lord Wrlo- thesley Russell, uncle pf the first Duchess of Abercorn. '

“He was once showing some mem- oers qf the household of one of the Abercorn country establishments Nirough Chesterfield House, which was at that timp the town residence of the Marquess of Abercorn (as he then was), Passing along one of the tiorridors he Indicated a fine bust on a pede.stal, and remarked, "That is .Marcus Aurelius.”

“Indeed, my lord,” said one of the jarty; “any relation of the present Markiss?”

This funny episode at the Odcon Theatre, Paris, was described to Lord Aberdeen by Mr James K. Hackett, the American, tragedian. The company was composed of Tlngllsh and American actors, none of whom spoke French. None of the French hands spoke English.

“During a hurried dress rehears- al,” said Mr. Hackett, “I came upon the stage and found my assistant stage manager, who had been born within the sound of Bow Bells, ad- dressing in forcible language, which is familiar to the Cockney quarter of London, a nuipher of smiling and pbsequious French stage hands. The tonversation was somewhat as follows;.—-

“ 'Yer bloomin’ idjiots, why don’t per do what I tell yer?’ (Bows and smiles on the part of the Frencn stage hands.) ‘Don’t stand there grinuin’ and do what I tell yer.’ (More bows and polite smiles.) ,

"Terrific outburst on the part of the assistant stage manager. He looks at them and they are stilt smiling pleasantly, whereupon, he grabs at his hair and begins to tear it, emit- ting inarticulate sounds.

“I put my hand on his shoulder and said; .‘My boy, don’t youxrealize that they don’t understand a word you are saying?’ He looked blank for a moment, clapped his hands to his head, and said; ‘Bless me, guvnor, I am that beside meself I’ve forgot me French as well as me English!’ ”

On one occasion the late Sir î''rank Lockwood, whose wit is still widely remembered, went on tour in the Highlands with Murdoch Malclalne of Lochbuie. On arriving at Oban, when registering/in the hotel book, Mr. Maclaine adopted—not .in any jocu- Ur wqy—the custom that was quite usual, especially In the Highlands, whereby owners of estates, especially when.accompanled with the headship of a clan, used their territorial de- signation on all suitable occasions. And io in Qiis instance the first entry read thus; ‘‘Lochbuie and Mrs. Mac- laine.”

tVhen Lool(wood’s turn came, after surveying the above item for a mo- nisnt, he said; “Ah, I see that this Is tho custom of the country,'so, of course, I shall adopt the same inode,” and lie wrote; “19, Ken.sing- ton Gardens Square and Mrs. Lock- wood.” ,

’The fact that he Is an ex-Lord Lieutenant of Ireland gives special signitlcance to the examples of Irish humor cited by the author. A young woman, meeting the late Rev. Father Healy, parish priest of Bray, County Wicklow, greeted him with; “Oh, good morning. Father Heal.v Now, won’t you'‘say something funny?”

To which came the prompt reply; “Well. I’m glad to see you; isn’t it funny?”

Another story concerns a certain man who, having built and furnished a new hodse, was showing it to Car- dinal. Cullen, who was accompanied by Father Healy. x

“In one ol the rooms, on a shelf above the writing-table, there stood a neat row of books. Pointiu.g to them, .the ownei^said; "rhese, your Eminence, are my friends.’ But Father Healy chimed in; 'Yes. and he has treated them like friends; he has never cut them.’ ”

The following was told tho author by a Bishop of Peterborough; —

“A' lady . meeting the Bishop of London (Qr. Temple) had .said; ‘Dh. Bishop, I want to tell you something remarkable. An aunt of mine had arranged to make a voyage in a certain steamer, but at the last moment she had to give up the trip; and that steamer was wrecked. Wasn’t it a mercy that she did not go down in it?’

“ ‘Well, but,’ replied the bishop, ‘I don’t know your aunt’.”

!A Message of Good Will Across the plobe

Sugar. When Alexander the Great of

Macedonia invaded India, his admiral Nearchus came across sugar in pos- session of the natives. This was in the year 325 JB.C. Sugar was brought Into Europe'from A.slq in the year 625 A.D.' In the second century sugar was prescribed as a medicine by Galen, one of the scientists of his time.

J<iînety thousand employees received a New Y'eai greeting, which hummed over the wires and

buzzed over the air across twenty thousand miles and three, continents, from E. W. Beattv, president and chairman of the Can.cd an Pacific Railwavs. This message was as follows; "To All Officers and Employees;

"In sending on behalf of the Company my be.st W’ishe.s for the New Year, I desire to congratulate both officers and men on the high standard of efficiency they have maintained during the year, as evinced by many communication^ from those who have used Canadian Pacific Services, and as further proved by financial returns for a year which has been fraught with considerable and unexpected prob- Ism.s. Such work well done has helped to maintain and ensure the general prosperity of the Country whose interests we all feel it our chief privilege to serve. During the coming year we should all, in our various offices, when opportunity occurs, pay special consideration to the fosiering of" good feeling and of •sympat’netie undei-standing between the various peoples and interests throughout the Dominion, and thus help to conserve the spirit of national unity -so necessary to the genera! welfare. For such duty we are particularly well equipped, as member.s of an organization stretching from Atlantic to Pacific and in close contact with all classes of the community

"(Signed) E. W. BEATTY.” In order to despatch this message a remarkable

feat of organization was staged at Canadian Pacific Telegrap.ti iteadquarters in Montreal. The eve of

New Year’s is always a day of gi-eat pressure and this year the amount of work over the u.suai heavy tile of telegraph and cable wires, was nearly a record.' The president’s message, which was filed at ten o’clock in the morning and was going to stations up to midnight, while it added to the work, in not the ■slightest degree delayed current duties. Everything ran as smoothly as on ally ordinary day of the year.

One copy of the message was put on every wire and was sent to every department head in Montreal and wires were sent to every.centre in the Dominion from which, it was relayed' to offices' within the district. F. R. Perry, New York agent, received the message firSt thing on opening his office and distributed it to Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg, Buf- falo, and other offices under his jurisdiction. T. J. Wall, Chicago, handled it in the same way for Cincinnati, Cleveland, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Kansas City and other points.

The message was cabled tô, Sir George McLaren Brown, European General Manager of the system, who relayed it across Europe to all cities where Canadian Pacific Railway has offices. Every ship of the Canadian Pacific fleet whether at dock or at •

sea was wirelesse;! or wired the message "yesterday i and it was prominently displayed on each of them. | Trains travelling across the continent also carried it; as part of their equipment. |

A cable copy of the message was sent for'the ! Orient, to Allan Cameron at Hong-Kong and was ; distributed by him to all points where the Canadian! Pacific Railway has interests in China, Jaoan and i elsewhere.

She seems to feel that it isii t right to talk of the possibility of her .lolin dying, or if he should, that slfi; should receive money for his dying; she doesn't want a price put on him, so slie says.

THE BUSINESS GIRLS

THE .\RGBKTIXE.

%Vealth of the Country Is In the Fertile Plains.

The Argentine is Canada’s greatest rival in the cattle and wheat marlSets of the world. In wheat-raising, Can- ada leads, but the Argentine has somewhat the better of the Dominion in cattle-raising., British papers con- cede that the Argentine will never equal Canada in wheat crops, but It is worthy of note that Argentina is a country of nearly 2,000,000 square miles, and that about 80 per cent, of the soil is fertile and capable of pro- ducing wiieat, corn, linseed, cotton and fruia.

We are told that the greater part of Argentina remains as it was when tlie Spaniards first settled there. It Is a country of enormous plains. But there are stretches of high, .sterile region.s. In the extreme northwest is the Dospoblado, which forms a part of the Bolivian plateau, a deso- late country, without water and with-^ out people. On the west, the great range of the Andes divides Argentina from Chile. There are some other hlgli ranges and plateaus; but plains are the prevailing feature. The cities of the Atlantic .s'-aboard, and then the inimitable stretches of pampas—these are Argentina.

Hundreds of mile.s of earth show not tlie slightest inequality. Only amid the wastes of the sea can man reel so remote and alone as he does in these wild, solitary stretches, yn- dulatln.g intervals are raro> The grassy plains reach level to the horizon. A vast sea, on which no wave breaks, only the wind making a rhythmic ripple on the surface. Theiiithere is the exten.sive desert of Patagonia, as fiat as the Jîwnpas, but completely covered with stones and shingle, diversified with large bould- ers, sp'ny bushes and shallow salt lakes. A sterile place, aged, dead.

The wealth of the country is in the fertile plains. Every farmer knows {hut a soil in which thistles flourish is good growing soil. Tliero are no other .such thistles in the* world as tiie gi.'îuts that grow on pile Pampas. I'hero are “thistle years,” when the

springs up everywhere and causes the gaucho to curse and to long for the pampero, the hot wind- which breaks with sudden violence over the land, bringing in' its wake ton''ents of rain that beat the hated thistles to death.

W. H. Hudson, who spent his clilldhood on estancias in Argentina, where his exquisite sensibility was nourished by the wild life of the plains, has left an indelible picture of a “thistle year.” It is a hateful period of restraint to the gaucho, who lives half his day on his horse, and loves his freedom as much as a wild bird, he says. His house becomes like a cage to him, the tall thistles hemming it in and shutting out. the view.on all sides.

The gaucho, the picturesque ruf- fian of romance writers, has created the country’s wealth. He has yielded somewhat to the crop-growers. On some of his lands, where thirty years and less ago half-wild cattle and horses grazed and strange birds nested, corn Is now growing for the markets of Europe. But the Pampas is immense, and the herdsman of the plains, hardy, spirited. Ignorant, is still the chief factor in making his countiy rich and prosperous. The gauchos are almost a race apart. They are of Spanish descent, but there is a strong mixture of the In- dian. -They are careless of l4Ce, their own and' others’. “So many beautiful horses died. Why trouble over a man?” Duel fights with knives were once a regular feature of their lives, and they are not uncommon now. Off their horses they are like sailors ashorè. “A man without a horse is a man without legs.”

FAMOUS POET’S PETS.

! Dante Gabriel Ro.sêtti Had Dove for, I Strange Pct.s.

j One of the most romantic as well ; as one of the greatest figures of Vic-

torian times was Dante Gabriel Ros- i setti, for he was in the *ront rank j both as a painter and a poet. But, I like many other men cf genius, ho I had some peculiarltie.s, umbng them I the love of strange pets, which he i kept mostly in his big garden bciiind ; No. 16 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, i At one time or another he pos.sess- j (“d a wombat, a woodchuck, an ar- : madilio, a racoon, a kangaroç, a deer, I a chameleon, a salamander, and evejh'- ! a zebu, the sacred cow of India. The I wombat was probably tlie favorite ! and enjoyed most privileges; being i accustomed to sleep on the epergne i in tlie middle of the dinner table, 1 Quit(‘ undisturbed by lights or con- i vw'saiion. On one occasion it took ; advantage of an absorbing discussion i to help itself to expensive cigars. It I chewed up a boxful, j Tennyson vrrote several poems on f the o-wl, as other poets do on night- Î ingales and skylarks. One night, j sitting at" the attic window' in his j father’s country rectory, he heard i the cry of a young o-wl. and imitated j it so well that the bird came to hiih.

Prom that moment it became a house- : hold pet. Its fate was a sad one, i however, for it was drowmed in a j well. ' ! The nearest and deai’est pet Burns i ever possessed was a sheep, which he ; called Maillie. He wrote two poems : to Maiille after her death. The üheep I used to follow the poet everywhere. ! and would run with the speed of,a I greyhound to nieet her master, i Oowper’s three hares—Puss, Tiny,

and Bess—belong to literature, for he tells their story in his inimitable letters. Puss was his compaliion for eleven years and eleven months: She was in the habit of pulling his hair when she wanted to go for a walk. Tiny was a bad-tempered little beast, responding to caresses with snaps and grunts, -^ss was gerftle and affectionate. The three enjoyed a nightly romp on the poet’s parlor carpet.

vSeots* Woman Began Career as a Journalist In 1812.

She was a Scot, of course, aud an acquaintance if not a friend of Sir Walter Scott, and ha» achieved the distinction of being Included In the Dictionary of National Biography.

Christiana Isobel was born in Plfe- Bbire In 1791, married one M'Lelsh, and divorced him — strong-minded Christiana!—and in 1812 n\arrled John Johnstone, a Dumfefmline schoolmaster.

It was then her career as a journalist really began; her husband bought the Inverness Courier, and she heiped him, “giving a literary tone to the paper.” ' Incidentally she contributed to its columns some excellent cookery recipes, which when the couple left In'êrness to start in Edinburgh she coUected and published in book form.

Now it happened that “St. Ronan's Weil” had appeared in 1824, and “Meg Dods of’the Cleikum Inn” had leapt to fame. Astute Christiana therefore called her codkery book, which was published In 1826, “Meg Dods^ Coqk and Housewife's Manual.” Evidently she knew th^ secret of the authorship of the ^Waverley Novels, bedausc the preface to the book Is obglouBly the work/)f the Magician of the North, and was recognixed as his by the leading Dondoa literary review of that time. TheMiterary folk-lore notes with which the book is packed were likewise written by the same pen.

Mrs. Johnstone was a contributor to the general journalism of that day. and made her mark as a literary cri- tic with a distinctive style. For many years she edited one oC Edinburgh’s leading magazines, and was a friend of De Quincey and the gutde^phlloso- pUer of many a budding poet and author. She died in 1857, full of years and honor.

Fisli With Movable Teeth. Some fish move their teeth to faci-

litate .the absorption of their prey. Their stomachs have an almost inft- nHe capacity . One specimen caught’ contained Inside it a fish three times Us own normal size. There was cne extraordlnaiy species which had developed bone to forat a complete fishing rod, to which was attached a long line, aud theu a bait, and then actual fish hooks. Others had developed rows upon rows of teeth, and apparently the prey was passed on from row to row until it was en- gulfed in the stomach.

i Relics of This -\nclent Civilization i .“Vre Tfow In British Museum.

Relics of the ancient Maya civilization, to the number of about 200, which were unearthed recently by Mr. F. A/ Mi.tchell Hedges, the ex- plorer in the hitherto unknown in- terior of British Honduras, are now in the British Museum in London;

Most of them are fragmentary examples of pottery. Among them is a miniature head of a smiling man which might have ifeen modelled today, so strikingly "modern” is its spirit.

Another is a representation of the Jaguar god of the Mayas, shaped as a whistle. .The jagu.ar was a sacred animal,- and was supposed to have certain astronomical associations. The Mayas, it has been proved, possessed great astronomical and mathe- matica! Tfnowledge. Mr. T. A. Joyce, Keeper of the Ethnological Depart- ment of the British Museum, said to a London reporter:

‘‘There Is no doubt. In my mind, that the discov'ery by Mr. Mitchell? Hedges and his companiou.s of the ancient Maya city of Lubaantun, in British Honduras,' constitutes one of the ' most important archaeological events of the age.

‘‘The earliest date we know in connection with the Maya civilization has been calculated to be October 14, B.C. 3373, but the history of the Maya race is still shrouded In mystery.

‘‘It appears from the character ot hi.s dnds, however, that Mr. Mitchell Hedges may well succeed fn bringing to light data about the Mayas’ lost civilization which may enable us at last to solve a great, mystery, for the beginnings of the May;is are rooted in mystery,

‘‘Among the finds he has brought to the museums is a pottered die which suggests that printing was not unknown to the Mayas, and it Is CW- taln that they produced pottaiT 'wnh. moulds.”

the funeral of the latt^îss Jane Mc- Intosh took plîice from the residence of her brother, Mr. John P.

Aird of the Baptist Church.

The deceased who was 87 years of age at the time of her death, was a daughter of the late Donald McIntosh, and was survived by one brother, John D., whose death occurred on the '8th inst. Interment was made in MaxviUe cemetery.

JOHN D. MCINTOSH

Following within three days of the- death of his only surviving sister, Jolni I>. McIntosh, ^ one of the most widely known as well as one of tho most highly esteemed resiilents of this district, passed away on Friday, JamNary 8th, after a lingering illness, at his home, Dominionville.

The deceased ivho was the last spr- viving -ineniber of the family of the late- Donald McIntosh was 78 years of age at the time of his deatli..

Over forty years a^go he suÀCrcd a severe injury which affected his spine and from this he never recovered. Not- withstanding this physical handicap, ho not only carried on his farming operations successfully, but took a keen' interest in public affairs, filling for many years thé office <,f Divisi(fn Court Clerk from which he larsigned only a fow years ago owihg to rapidly failing health. ' /

Years ago Mr. McIntosh wms .appointed an Elder of the Presbyterian Church, j.etaining that rank in -the. United Church at MaxviUe, with which he became associated upon the consummation of Union last .year. *

a piece of cretonne—the pattern for whicli died with 1900—serves to house all the eating utensils—cracked and broken plates, cups without handles or mates, saucers that were never on speaking terms, a few metal knives and forks a-s well as some|geiicral utili- ty sitopus that knoTV both what it is to plunge into tea or shovel sbup.

The other articles of furniture in the room arc a spineless chair that h.as for its burden, a water pail, and two other chairs that have very doubtful reputations for stability of character.

It somewhat significant that a faded pietnre of Napoleon is the only visible appeal to the artistic. Any' one with less determination and dog- ged perserverance could neve^ have stood it so long.

Some of the window panes that were, are not. Those missing, have been re- placed by bagging' and bedding. Those tliat are requise, no curtain to obstruct view. Flies and .spiders have performed that service. In the adjoining room, a shakedown bed, a chair and ibroken’ stand con.stitute the tout ensemble. That is of things inanimate. But the lessor breed without the law is al-' ways with you there.

"When Banditry got under the covers, it was not to sleep, he could not drive from hi4 mind the. thought of what had happéned.

The Cough That Keeps Too Awake

GET *EID OF IT BY TAKING FATHER JOHN’S IdEDICINE

How often yon hear someone say, “I Avould hot mind the cough so much, if it would only let me sleep-at night.” But a cough won’t let you sleep all through the night, it disturbs your rest. It racks the nerves as it saps the strength.

It keeps yoü tired and listless as it weakens your power \to resist disease. This is the danger of neglected colds— the weakening, de- pressing effects oh the whole system. It is this serious condition w'hich

Father. John’s Mcdieine meets so ef- feétiA'cV* It contains tho pure food elements which actually build new firm flesh and tissue and nerve force. It gives new' strength to fight off germs and drive off impurities. At the same time, Father JohA’s Medicine soothes and heals thé irritation and inflamma- tion in both the throat pnd air passages.

For more than seventy years, Father John’s Medicine has successfully treated those stubborn, deep-seated coughs that keep you awake at night. It is safe for every member of the family because it is free of alcohol and dan- gerous drugfe, \

KATIKU FOB EFFICIBXC^ . (Continued)

Prepared by (Dr.) Margaret Patterson,

Police Magistrate, Toronto Where Vitamines Lurk

I’hcro aro three groups of vitamiucs, all of which are necessary in a perfect fuel; without them certain diRoa.sea result, viz., tho eyes very soon feel the effects of a lack of the fat solu- ble vitamines found in milk, butter, cheese and all dairy products, egg yolk, liver, green lo:\vea and houey. A’ou will notice that these arc found iu all tho dairy products, for milk is nature’s masterpiece as a food They are also found in egg yolk, for tho yolk of the. egg is natur’s food for the chicken as it developes iu the egg. We find those substances in tho liver of animals, but not in the mus- cular parts of the meat, because the { liver is a store house for the- needs of the animal and here some vitamines I have been stored for its use, V

The third of those vitamines i.s found \ in .skim-milk and in nearly nil the j fresh green vegetables, in lemon's,! oranges, unpeelod potatoes and .sproüt-1 cd grain, * '.

Supplement tlie Grains Grain must ever provide the chief

part of our food, »and as we must pay the price of civilization .and use the commercialized products we must sup- plemcmt them by a liberal use of milk ’and dairy products as well as plenty of fresh vegetables, especially the leaf}' varieties such as spinach, lettuce, young beet tops and tho many things that can be utilized as spiuach. Through the experiments being conducted in the nutrition laboratories we aro learning that many of the weeds that appear early in the spring and have fresh growth all sojison are very valuable foods, Alilkweed for instance. Good Health says:—

. Alilkweed is a most dclicioihs grceji. The part used is the very tip of the stalk—a few* tender green leaves at the lop—taking jîerhhps the last two or three large leaves that enclose the liUlè bunch of green leaves that are close jtogehter. Until the leaves get tough you can use the milkweed. Af- ter they .are gathered; throw* them in a dish of cold water. Put a tablcspoon- fu.l of salt in two quarts of cold water. Let the greens soak iu this for one hour, then w.-ish them very, thoroughly in several cold waters. Cook them for tcu minutes iu boiling w'atcr. Have the w’ater -boiling before the greens are added. Serve with lemon juice and a little butter, just as you would spinach or chard.

Nature Begs Minearal Salts Nature requires mineral salts to

build strong, good bones and teeth for the growing child and to keep them' in good repair in the 'adult. Lime is very necessary in the diet; without it^the bouGS aud teeth canno't be normal, and it is especially necessary to the growing , child. There are foods that supply lime—do we know them and so plan our diet as to give nature a constant .supply?

Alilk is the richest of all foods in lime; lime is is also found iu eggs, carrots, Graham bread, blackberries, strawberries ,oatmeal, prunes, raisins, onions, lemon juice, and molasses. Phosphorus is another salt that is lie- ecssary and helps to make good strong teeth and bones. It also is found in milk, buttermilk, lettuce, oatmeal, Gra- ham bread, potatoes, celery, beef, pars- nip.s and pineapple. Both of these salts found in Graham bread but not in bread made of the bolted flour.

Henry Dobinson was employed at the explosive works of Curtis & Harvey, Ltd., near Cliffe, in Kent,

; England. One May morning, in 1911, just

after Dobinson left the iiitro-glyce- l| rine filtering house, the air was rent j by a shattering report, and what a j moment before had boon the scene of , well-ordered workshops and yards bc- ; came a raging inferno. ■ Dobinson had been hurled to the ; ground. As he rose he saw a sight 1 that might'weil have made the brav- ; est man quail and flee for his life.. ; Within a few yards of him ran ; tlio gun-cotton track worked on the I endless chain principle. It had come ■ to a standstill and had caught fire, ' and tongues of flame were dancing ; down It. Gun-«otton rai.ght cause an I explosion that would wipe out of i existence any person near the track, j Dobinson was about lo flee for his

life when he heard a cry. The cry : came from a man beneath the track. I Without an instant’s hesitation Dob- I inson went down underneath the Î track to. attempt to rescue a co- ; worker, in face of the most Appalling : danger. ' The man beneath the. track was ; held down by a plank. For five min-

utes Dobinson toiled at the plank until he managed to pull it oit the injured man. By this time help was at hand^ >

Six months later Dobinson duly received the V.C. of Industry from the hands of the King. :

The engineer to the Tilehurat, Pangbounie, and Di.strict Water Com- pany arrived bne morning at the works, and. accompanied by Edward Aitken, a foreman, went to inspect a pair of pumps situate about midway down a well shaft eighty feet in depth.

Just below the pumps was a staging consisting of a ten-inch plank running across the^ shaft.. As the- engineer was crossing it tire plank snapped in two, and he- fell thirty- four feet on to an old staging.

As he fell he managed to grasp an iron bar. As long as he could hold on to this he was safe, but it was obvious that in his exhausted and injured state he could not hold on for long.

Aitken at once proceeded to the engineer’s assistance. . "

To get to the injured man he had to make his way down an old iron ladder covered with slithering mud and with several rungs missing.

This ladder ended about eight feet above the old staging, to reach which Aitken had to crawl down the sheer sides of the shaft, his only foot or hand hold being odd old bolts. A slip meant a terrible death for him; but he'reached the staging in safety, ahd In a few' seconds stood by the engineer.

The records of the'Edward Medal contain no greater tragedy ,than the story of how three men perisned in a gallant attempt to save the lives of their comrades.

On a warm summer day in August, 1917, salvage operations were being

parried out on the steamship Great City, a grain boat that had been damaged by a German torpedo. The water in the hold was‘being pumped from the ship when a stevedore on deck noted that some pieces of wood were drifting towards the pumpd. In spite of the fact that the workers had been expressly warned against going down into the hold because of the poisonous fumes, he went down the ladder to take out the pleceat, of w’ood.

Hta action was well Intentioned, but It led quickly to a terrible tragedy. He'reached the bottom of>^he ladder, stooped down, and picked the pieces of wood out of the water. Then he suddenly collapsed and fell into the water and sank.

A man named Anderson came on deck just as his mate disappeared, and, instantly guessing what had happened, went lo his help.

Anderson reached the water in safety, made one desperate effort to rescue his unconscious mate, when he also was overcome by the poLson- ous fumes and sank in three feet of water. Two men nuiued Tierney and Gale had witnessed the collapse of Anderson. They at once fetched a rope, and Gale, looping one end of it round hl.s waist, went-down to the hold. ^ Tierney held the other end of the rofye.

Gale perished even QiiFkor thau his two mates. He Imd barely reached the last rung oC the ladder when, with a cry, he threw up h!s arms and fell insensible into the water, the rope slipped over his head as he did 80.

And then Tierney, without a moment’s hesitation, went down to the

1 bold to meet what he ûst have ! known meant certain death. ! So ended this heroic tale of how ; three men lost their own lives in a

heroic effort save the life of another. The V.C. of Industry was awarded to them in due course and bestowed on (heir nearest relatives.

The Edward Medal is also bestowed on workers in the Dominions.

SANDSTORM IN DESERT MODERN ARAB KNIGHT WRITER TEHLS OF EXPERIENCES

IN AFRICA.

During Storm Any Stationary Object Will Bo Smotheretl by Sand- Means Death to Halt — Indescrib* able Torture.

Hassenein Bay. F.R.S., who recently made a wonderful trip across the desert from Solium,--in the Mediter- ranean, to El Obeid, in the Sudan, gives the following account In the Wide World Magazine of a sandstorm in the desert:

Sandstorms are a commonplace ID

the desert, but as an experience there is nothing at all commonplace about them.

The day dawns with a clear sky and no hint of storm or,wind. The desert smiles, and the caravan moves forward cheerfully. Befofe long a refreshing breeze comes up from no- where and goes whispering over the sands. Almost imperceptibly it, strengthens, but still there is nothing! unpleasant about it. Then one looks j

\down at on'e’s feet, and notices that the surt'ac^^ has curiously altered. Itj looks as though it were underlaid i with steam-pipes with thousands ol orifices, through which tiny jetsôl' steam are puffing out. j

The sand leaps in little spurts and whirls, and the disturbance gradu-! ally increases as the wind rises; it seem.s as though the v.'iioit! surfHCtij of the desert is lifting in obedience to some upthrusting force beneath: F'ly-i ing pebbles strike against one’s shins,! knees, and thigh.s, and a spray ofi dancing sand-grains climbs one’s body.j ÎÜ1 it strikes one's face and goes over; one^s head. I

Gradually the sky is shut out, all! but the nearest camels fade from ! view; tho whole universe appears to: be filled with hjrtliu.g, pelting, stinging, biting particles of torment. Lucky is > the traveller then if the wind is blowing at iiis back!

The torture of The driving sand against your- face is indescribable; you can scarcely keep your eyes open, and yet you dare not let theun close, for to lose your way in the desert is fatal.

Fortunately tho wind comes in fvriving .g;iists, spaced in groups of three or tour, wifh a few seconds of blessed lull alter each series. While the gusts are making their assault, you turn your face away, pull the side of your kufia (headdress) forward like a screen, and almost hold your breath. Wlum the, lull comes, you put the kuha back, take a quick look round to see that you hav(‘ kept your bearings, and then prepare for the attack. »

When a sandstorm comes there is nothing to do but to push doggedly on. Around any stationary object, whether it be' a post, a camel, or a man, the eager sands gather quickly, piling it up until there remains only a smoothly-rounded heap. It may be torture to go on, biu it is death to halt. -

A sandstorm is Hk«dy to be at its worst for five or six hours. While it persists, a caravan can only keep going. taking care lhat the direction is not missed. When the stf)rm is at its fiercest the CHUKAS v/ill be scarcely moving, but iheir instinct tells them that it means death to stop.

Tho storm drives the .«and Into everything one^ possesses; it fills clothes, food, baggage, instruments— everything. One feels it, breathes it, f.ats U, .drink.s it—and hates it all the time. The finest particles even pene- trate the poi'cs of the skin, setting up a distressing irritation.

There are certain rules about the behavior of sandstOi-ms that every Bedouin knows. ’ The wind that makes the storm will rise with the day or .go to sleep with the sun. There will be no sandstorm at nigiit, when there is a moon, and a sandstorm never links afterhoqn and evening. ^

Theô ai’e excellent rules; but on cur trek to Jalo every one of them was broken! We had little storms and great .storms-wthfi worst I Jiad 3êt seen™storms that were short and storms that were long; storms by day and storms by night. Even under this interminable bombardment, however, I not lose the spell of the desert's charm. '

Sometimes at evening, when wv^ had been battling doggedly against the flying squadrons of the sand for hours, the wind would stop dead, as If a master had put up a peremptory finger. Then for an hour or so the fine dust would settle slo'wly down like a falling mist. Afterwards the moon would rise, and under the pale magic of its flooding light, the desert would lake on an aspect of wonderful beauty.

A Boy’s Es.say on Oucks. The teacher had asked every

pupil to write an essay or composi- tion on ducks. One boy worked long and perspiringly on his essay, then handed his teacher the following article.:

“Tho duck is a low. undorslung, heavy-set bird, composed mostly of meat, bill, and feathers. His head rests on one end and he .sets on the other. There Is no space between his toes, and he ca^rries a toy bal- loon in his stomach to keep from sinking. The duck has only two legs and they are set so far back on his running gear that they come near inlssing his body. Some ducks when they get big are called drakes. Drakes do not have to set or hatch; they just loaf, go swiiuming. and eat. If 1 had to be a duck 1 would rather bs a drake <>vory time. Ducks do not give milk, but eggo.”

STUDENT WHO BECAME AN XJN- BROWNED KING.

Ool. Lawrence Stood Out Head and Shoulders Above Sniall Group of Personalities of Great War —Led Ii*regular Troops^ to Victory.

It is often as.serted by historians and others that the great world-war produced no man destined to stand

’ out head and shoulders above the small group of personalities -svîio dominated the military and political situations in the five years of conflict.

But there are many who think that time will prove that the war yielded at least one man who, in achievement and character, may well take rank as the greatest individual figure in the struggle.

'There is surely no chapter in the world’s history more romantic or thrilling, or more inspiring, than tlio story of Col. Thomas E. Lawrence’s rise to a position in which he was able to accomplish in a few months what cdliphs, statesmen, and sultans •had been unable to do in centuries.

This is how Mr. Lowell Thomas, in his fascinating book, “With Lawrence In .A.rabia,” describes him:—

“My fir-st thought as I glanced at his face was ât he might be one of the younger apostles returned to life. His expression was serene, almost saintly, in its selflessne.ss and repose. A stranger must, indeed, have something extraordinary about him to at- tract attentidn In the streets of the

i Holy City. But as this young man passed by in his magnificent royal robes, tho crowds turned to look at him.”

Though only five feet three inches In height’, clean shaven, with blue eyes, and an- air of aloofnênss as if his mind were centred in long- forgotten, far-off things, Lawrence looked every bit a king, and impress- ed all who met him with his quiet dignity.

Lawrence, we are told, was born in Carnarvonshire, not far from tho home of Mr. IJoyd George. His father had been an Irish landowner

'Who, when he lost his possessions, settled in Wales. îMve years of the sou’s boyhood were passed in Jersey; then the family moved to Scotland. From there they went to France, young Lawrence receiving most of his his early education in a Jesuit Col- lege. although his parents belonged to the Church of England. From the Contihent they went to Oxford. There, after, various youthful esca- pades that gave a hint of the daring he was (o show latdr in life, he settled down to the study of ancient civilizations.

When the war came, Lawrence, then only twenty-six and newly home from excavating in tho Near East, tried to join Kitchener’s Army. “Member.s of the Army Medfpal Board looked at the frail, tow-headed youth, winked at one another, and told h::n to run home to his mother and wait for the next war. Just four/years aft^r he had been turned down as physically unfit for the ranks, this young Oxford graduate small of stature, shy and scholarly as ever, entered Damascus at the head of his victorious army.”

On finding that at the moment his country had no need for him, Law- rence returned to his books. Then, a short time afterwards, he was sum- moned with others to the army bead- quarters-at Cairo, to place his knowledge and experience of the Arabs at the disposal of the authoidties.

But life at General Headquarters ^;as not enough for him. One day

was reported missing, and was heard of no more for several months. He had made his way alone into the heart of the desert, sought ou\ tlie^ Emir Peisul, the most powerful ciilef- tain in the land, armed the Bedouin irregular troops^ and with them had begun harrying the Turks as a cat will play with a mouse!

Not the least enterprising of his methods of worrying the enemy were his train-wrecking exploits. He became the world’s champion train- wrecker. '

“He dynamited Turkish trains passing along the Hedjaz Railway with such regularity that in Damas- cus aâts In the rear carriages sold for five and six times their normal value. Invariably there was a wild scramble for seats at the rear of the trains, because Lawrence always touched off his tulips, as he playfully called his mines, under the engines. In one year he and his associates blew up twenty-five Turkish trains, tore up fifteen thousand rails, and destroyed fifty-seven bridges.”

Wbeixevei^ he was not engaged In planting his “tulips,” he would disguise himself ^s an outcast Arab woman and slip through the enemy lines. This was the best disguise for a spy, because the Turkish sentries considered it undignified to say “Halt! Who goes there?” to a woman. Scores of times he penetrated hundreds of miles/into enemy terri- tory, thereby gaining most of the In- formation that finally enabled Allen- by’s Palestine Army and the Emir Feisul’s forces to overwhelm the Turks in the most dazzifng cavalry exploit in history.

“He had one extremely narrow escape. When strolling through the streets of a. town behind the lines, dressed as a sheik’s son, two Turkish soldiers arrested him as a deserter. They flogged him until he fainted. Then they threw him out more dead than alive, and fearfully bruised. Some time later he regained con- sclousn^’ss and made his escape.”

k ÏOU Asked To Review a Book ?

We all have the same experience, I am sure, of wishing that we might do more reading. The days are only so long and Wednesday is here before we arc really sure of Tuesday, and so the reading goes. ,

Much pleasure can be had second- hand from books if th^y aro well re- viewed and I know of one sewing group that meets twice a month and makes a practise of having a number report on a book at each meeting, the club having voted at the first meeting in the fall what books they are' going to take up.

Talking to a woman who reviews many books a year, I asked her what sho thought a good way to go aboui it. '‘Read through the book rather hastily to get the main idea,^’ sho said, "and you will see that while there is a story about certain definite persons there will also -be a general truth or moral, we might say, under- Iving it all. Look for this and make

By GEORGE ELMER COBB

(Copyright, 1919, by the Western News- paper Union.)

Beq Dyiiiond was out of a job and there was a hungry wife and child at lomc. He had wandered the streets all the morning without meeting with the least encouragement as to employ- ment. Footsore, down-hearted, faint from the want of food, he was resting on a refuse box in front of a hotel when a bareheaded man in over- alls came out on the sidewalk, observed his woe-begone appearance, and ac- costed him.

“Ready for a two hours’ task?” he inquired incidentally.

“Ready for two years, night and day, so the home folks have regular meals!” responded Ben with alacrity.

“Well, there’s fifty cents an hour in it,” volunteered the other. “Come on. Hello r no drink in this, I hope?”

“Never touch that,” said Ben. Then ï\dth a weary smile: “Nothing ex- cept a couple of crusts since last night” for he had staggered and his companion had n#5t:iken the cause.

“Very well, you come with uê,” he directed. “The meal will be a good one, and thrown in with the dollar,” and indeed it wâs a famous meal in the hotel kitchen. There was more than a plenty. Ben ate sparingly until one of the, cooks, comprehending the situation, shoved In his pocket a box filled with choicest viands and “lunch at be<ltirae—see?”

Bon was taken to the roof of the hotel, where he was given a carpet beater and a pile of possildy a hundred small rug.'^. He attacked them with a will. In an hour and u quarter by the clock he hud completed his task and his employer handl'd him a dollar bill.

“I haven’t worktHl the full time,” submitted Ben.

“No, but you've done two hours’ av- erage work, all the same. Now perhaps there’s some odd work for'i:o- morrow. You stay here till I hunt up the manager and find out.”

Ben wa.s nothing loath as to seating himself on the cornice and resting up. He became aware of a commo- tion in the street, and peered four stories down. Across the street was a great skyscraper, and in Its sliade a crowd was gathered, eyes fixed sky-' ward. Ben followed their gaze. Dan- gling from a telephone wire was a pigeon.

The pigeon had struggled into flying’ position, fluttered up anAtook off in a violent dash. The string held and the bird vyas jerked back to helpless- ness. ’Women grabbed the arms of men they did not know and implored them to “do something 1” Wordless prayer^ seemed concentrated upon anxious, sympathetic Ups. Aga^n the well-nigh exhausted pigeon fluttered up. drew the string loose, tumbled wearily throrfgh thé air and dropped Inert at ;the feet of the interested and pitying Ben. Its eyes were open, its breath came in spasms. As he took it into his hands and caressed it Ben noticed a small metal disk surrounding one foot. CleariV traced upon it were the words : “Carrier dove, regis- tered A 32. Property of Arthur Blake, 32 Webster terrace. Return or report, at owner's cost.”

The man who had hired Ben showed up to tell him that he could come to work on the morrow. He stared at the pigeon and listened with intere.st to Ben’s explanation.

“It must be a bird of some Value,” he said. “Webster terrace? That’s only a mile from hero. I say, you stand a good chance of a reward for taking it to this Arthur Blake.”

do just that,” declared "Ben. “NotKhat I want the iây, but the poor, gentle thing’s heart is beating like a trip hammer,” and he placed it within his coatând was on his way with his new adventure at once. His de.stina- tion,proved to beV handsome man- sion on a select thoroughfare. The servant who admitted him led him to a room where mt a stately old lady,

. who took the bird from Ben's hand and held it as lovingly to her breast as though it was â>me chenshe<i child. She asked Ben a number of questions, thanked him for his restoration of the bird, and I'xplained that it wits a valued pet of her i<on. She took up her purse and insisted on Ben accepting a .$.5 bill, and lifting a wing of the pigeon drew forth a compact Ultle wad of paper secured^ to a liny metal ring, opened It, perused it, and rend aloud the N words >• “Come back and—for- forgive!”

I.aier Ben koew that this missive was from the'former fiance of Arthur Blake, a MiVr-EtUel Brent. They had quarreled over tt trifle. Blake had been disappointed in receiving no word from his' petulant love and bad jufst left the house bound on a long journey. The old mother arose to her feet deep- ly excited. She asked Ben to hasten to a certain railroad depot, to board the Sunset Limited, to hand to her son the little note and explain how he had come by It.

.Tust as the train was about to pull out Ben sped by,the gate guard, swung to a rear parlor coach, made a volu- ble inquiry, placed In the hands of a liandsome young man the tiny note, and both left the tniin just as it Was moving out. As they parted, and Ar thur Blake hastened to seek his con- trite sweetheart, he pressed upon Ben fiHlf the contents of his purse, sufficient to keep the wolf from the dooi lor tg cgms.

Ey CECILLE LANGDON

(Copyrtffht. 1919, by the Western News- paper Union.)

“Î am a mind reader,” announced Earle Mnnson bri.skly, "and my innate mentality imparts llie ftict to mo that you are going to engage me at an initial salary of a hundred dollars a month and expenses, and send me out qn tlie road to (Jemonstrat(3 a new plan I bave evolved for doubling your business In one year, with a Quadru- pling ratio as time goes on. my income keeping pace jvith this expansion.”

Martin LJme first glared at the au- dacious intruder upon his busy hour. Then his stern features relaxed. He was used to all kinds of applications for work and did not at all favor the familiar way in which this new can- didate approached him. Catching sight of the smiling face and magnetic eyes, however, he said:

^ “I am something of a mind reader myself, and I do not share your views. Show me.”

“Good!” nodded the refreshingly un- abashed young^man, plumping into a .seat and taking out a packet of papers. Rule .seven of ‘Business Effi- ciency’ say.s: ‘Approach a business man in an original way/ so I pre.sent the mind-reading phase. Rule nine- teen says: ‘Present a proposition out- .side of the usual rut/ I’ve got it right here. It will take mo ten minutes to explain it.”

“0(r on,” nodded Mr. Lane, mufe cu- rious and annised than inieresred.

Kai’le Mun.MOi proceeded lo outline his plan. Mr. Lnnt' was a tea and coffee niercham. lie had worked up a very pi-idiiabie mail-order tradi*.

“Don't you see," siihiniUetl the per- suasha- and oiaitui>ah' Munson, “that you will have over hundred agents j'ic-king'U1» orders every day in the year? Allowing that each man gets but (UU; order a day. iliat li.gtires up over tifu-en Hiousand orders a year, (icttiug ii«it tunnher of onha's ilirougii your circiilar and eaîalogiîO system, postage st;inips alouo weiiiil c»;st you five tliousand dcdlars. By my sysieiti| you keep au account witli one central source, get all kinds of free advertising and have an Jinny of men wo|k- ing for you on coininis.<ion 'tihsis strictly.”

“It looks feasible.” admitted Mr. Lane.'^“ïou come back ut four o’clock prepared to give me tlie evening. Will yon?”

Munson had expected that the con- sultation anticipated would take" place in the private otlice, but when he re-, turned he found the merchant ready to take him to his borne in his automo- bile. Wheiuthey reached it Mr. Lane ushered him amon.g a garden group, introduced him to his wife, three simili children and his daughter, Leila. The visitor made evorybuily feel agreeable. He complimented Mrs. Lane on lier lovely garden, .played 'with the little ones and devoured the radiant daugh-“ ter of the home with eyes expressing an adminition he could not conceal.

^We’ll talk right here where we can enjoy the beautiful‘evening,”-said Mr. Lane, and on a garden seat just out- side the family -circle they went into further business details. Munson liad drifted about a good deal in a business way. It was quite remarkable the number of rocommeudations he had. All spoke of Mr. Mun.son particularly as lo his pleasing personality and strict attention to business, but more than one deplored Ins constant shifting from one position to. another owing to his love for cliange and va- riety.

“Yes, I need an anchor t© steady me,” acknowledged Munson, and he glanced stealthily in the dire<*tiou of Leila. “Well, I hope that after a monlli’s demonstration you will be so pleased that we will make a perina- nent arrangement. Maybe it will be so promising that some dayÎ’ll get a mind-reading copartnership as to my ideas—er, Mr. Lane?”

Munson'was simply irre.si.siible the way he mingled audacity and a win- ning ingenuousne.ss.' He had the <'liil- dren fairly wild with some choice feats of legerdemain he operated for j their s- ccial benefit. The final hour ! of his stay he was treated all around j like some old-time friend rathor, than the business adventurer with a new idea.

At the einl of a month Karle Mun- son came bouncing into the private office of Martin Lane as freely as if he 05vned it, to spread before Ids om- i ploy-or^L buncii of contracts and orders that fairly bewildered the staid, sys- tematR* nian of busine.ss. When another sixty days had rollctl away the influx of trade required hi.s constant supervish)n in an oflice of his own. Meantime it got to be so that if Mr. Lane did not bring Munson home with him to dinner tit least three times a week, Mrs. iâne looked disappointed, Leila unhappy and the cliildren be- wailed his absence as Iboiigh liome was a dismal prison witliont him.

And at the end of six months the climax culminated and Munson came to Mr. Lane, and in his refreshingly convincing way said :

“Mr. Lane, as a mind reader I am of the opinion that if I told you that Leila and myself will be very unhappy and disappointed if you do uot ap- prove our picking out an engagement ring, you would at oace give us your blessing.”

And Martin Lane replied : “There is no resisting ybu, Munson—as a mind reader you art csrUinlj^ a decided

(Copyright, 1919, by the Western Newi- paper Union.)

Life at its dreariest had come to Alma Royce at eighteen. 'Her fatlier had (lied just as she had reached the acme of girlhood loveliness and had settled into a life which sin* had reason to hope would have no break for a long time to come. The existence of herself and her father had been an ideal one since she was a mere (.‘hild. There was not a country estate in the district that could equal Wildwood in extent and beauty, nud there for over a decade tlie Royces had received all the advantages of luxury ami ease.

The former owner of the place, John Wayne, die<j when his only son and heir. Gerald, was a mere lad. Previous to that Alma’s father, originally a college professor, had broken down In health and John Wayne, an old college friend, had employed him to systema- tize and care for his great colioetion of antiques. When Mr. Wayne died there was a provision made in his will that the old scientist was to coul’inue his work and have a home at Wild- wood and its entire charge until his son attained his majority. Of that son after that the Royces only knew that he was receiving a full etlucatlon «broad.

It was after her father’s death that the family lawyer of ilie Waynes visited Wildwood. »

“Miss Royce," he said, ‘^ve under*- stand that Mr. Gerald Wayne is about to return to this country and settle up the estate. Doubtless Wildwood will pass into othei’ hands. It may bo some time before that may come about, and until it does, we would like to have you remain in charge here.

Alma felt that it was only a question of time when she would have to go dut into the wide world cheer](.'ss!y alone. And'-she shrank from the .stron- nous life ahead of her; contrasting so harsh and unfriendly with her calm, evem experience at Wildwood.

-Mmu was busy one day din'ctlng the Iran.'splanting of some shrubbery when slm noticed a young man, an entire stranger, standing by the gîTrden roadwfiy. libs ey(‘s were firsfed upon her studiously and interestedly. As her glance nuq his own he advanced, removing his hat: with a courteous bow. q'hon a seeming afterthought as to in- troducing himself ajjpeared to occur to him. He took several cards, se- lecting one indiscriminately and near- ing Alma tendered it to her. She read upon its face “Wylie Blair,” and under this the name of the law firm which attended to the business of the estate.

“You are Miss Royce, I am sure,** si)oke the visitor. He was rather grave of nuinner, young ;Ad handsome as he was, as though study m* weari- ness of the world bad brought serioiis- ne.ss and surfeit, but a sight of the fair young girl appeared to lighten his natural mood. “1 have come to look over Wildwood. i)reparatory to a possible disposal of it to the best advantage.”

A new brightness came into his fac6 as Alma in her prétty intelligent way simwed him over the grounds. But it was when she led him inside the sump- tuous fiouse that lie became absorbed In contemplation of its contents. HU being seemed to he in complete lu^r- mony with the unique and beautiful, and Im reveled ov<*r a Carrara marble girl’s head by Fiaschi. a favorite horse .study of Ro.«a Bonheur, Khiva rugs, a Soiimake of wide proportions, the an- tique mahogany higliboys, the Japan- ese teak wood .screen before the ara- besque flreplac(‘, jiearl reading glasses, silver trophy ^ (mps won by speedy horse.s, and books, books, books, gathered from \the nmst exclusive store- houses of the world.

]'’or nearly a week each afternoon this apparent agent -and authorized representative of Gerald Wayne appeared at Wildwood. -He made a pre- tense of taking notes, but it was clear from his intent association with Alma that he most prized this Innocent, gentle woodland creature. He commend- ed her carfil'ul system' of Jceeping the accounts of 1Iu‘ (estate. He was a rapt listener, as in her welbinformed way she recited tli*' value and history of this and that p:-iceless piece of bric-a- brac. At times Alma was puzzled, for while he seemed ideajscd at the Information sl'.e imparted, here and there some chance remark sho^yed that he was no novice in art Jintique.

“Î îiin going away tonnuf-'^w. Miss Royee,” he said tU the end of a week, ancf on the niorrow. îis the.'(’ wore seated togetlu'r on a garden seat, hf looked at lier eariu'sfly wiîli ilu‘ words : “You have made Wildwood a revelation to me, and 1 am satisfii^d its owner would he a vandal quite to scatter to the winds ruthles.<ly the )abor of long years.”

“I am glad,” said Alma in her frank, ingenuous way, “and I hope you will tell Mr. Wayne that.’* Then she sighed find glanced sorrowfully all about her. Î shall miss all oe beautiful , life 1 have passed here. It has been a true home to, me.”

Fie leaned closer to her and his eycM were gkywing strangely. “Why should yon go. Mi.ss Royce?” ho questioned. “If I were Us owner and should ask ycu to stay because I have learned to love you. what would you say?”

Tlie fluttering blush upon her fmee told him tliat her soul was responsive to his own. His eyes grew glad. “1 ask you to stay," he added, “for 1 aoa Gerald Wayne/’

home, and after all her foresight and labour she must face the bitter Decem- ber days, and start again. But though she may rebuild her home again, his hopes are beyond repair. This thought comes out very cleaidy in the memor- able lines: ^ ^ The best laid schemoH o' mice an* men

Ghng aft a-glcy, And lea'e us naught but grief and pain

For ]u-omised joyl

Still thou art blest, compared wi' me! The present only touc'heth tliee; But, och! 1 backward east my e'e

On prospects drear! And forward, though I canna see,

r guess and’ fear,” Whilst Burns would appear to be ut-

terly careless of the Diviuo demandg yet there is a profound reverence in liis heart. He is guilty of grievous sin.s, and still there is repentance and aspiration that plmost reminds us of Paul. One can imagine lim back in those early days, when scones of tlie Cottar’s Saturday Night were acted to the letter. ‘The C'heerfu’ supper done, wc’ serious

, faec, / They, round the ingle, form a • circle

wide; The sire turns o’er, wi’ patriarchal

grace, The big ha’ Bible, ance his father’s

pride; ' His bonnet/reverently is laid aside, His lyart haffets wêaring t'hin an'

bare; Those sfrain.s' that once did Sw'eet in,

Zion glide, He wales a portion with judicious care; And’ Let us worship Go^!’ ho says,

with solemn air—J.W.G.W. P. 39. Lines taken from his Common Place

Book reveal the pangs of remorse in his soul: y ‘‘Of all the. numerous, ills that hurt

our peace, That pVess the soul,.or wring the mind

with anguisjj, Beyond comparison the w’orst. are those That to our folly or our., guilt we owe.

The torturing, gnawing couseiousnesa of guilt—

.Of guilt, perhai^ w'herc w’e’vc involved others;

Oh, burning hell, ia all thy store of torments,

There is not a keener" lash.” Tile poetry of Burns^ in its dialect

of lowland Scotch, is full of outpouripg of the warmth, supe^titious, homely life of common folk. It has defects enough, grave ones, the same defects that stain the life of the poet.

What w'e value in Burns is the revelation of the worth ofV the primative experiences common to all men, the natural passion, the consciousness ' of a life lived, not sentimentally, but. sub- stantially close to the heart of nature. He demonstrates that these common, simple experiences are the stuff of poetry; for he smgs them in verse of ir- restible charm. We love Burns too for tlie spirit of democracy that potVades his work.

In April 179(1 ho wrote “I fear it will be some time before I tune my lyro again, By Babel’s streams I have sat and wept. I have only known existence by the pressure of sickness and coutned time by the preeus- sions of pain I close my eyes in misery and open them without hopei

On the 4th of July, he was seen to be dying. On the 21st he was no more. On 25th ho was buried with local honours. Sou born to his wife same day.

Lowland Scotland as a distinct Na- tionality came in with two warriors, William Wallace and Kobert Bruce; and went out with tyo bards Burns ami Scott.—Eding 1771-1832.

There is a great deal to bo said about the character of Burns which cannot be iucluded iu a short summary such as 1 am attempting to make here to- night. However, I think it is necessary to make a few*dircct references to the poet’s keen insight with regards to moral and the spiritual verities. He would appear to be utterly careless of Divine demands, and yet there is a profound reverence in bis heart. He is fully aware that sjn 'brings retribution, iio matter how lightly indulged. As life is speeding to its end, and his soul becomes aware of the frightful havoc wrought by sin and the. waste of privileges, also awüîê that the past cannot be recalled. ' Will Time, amused witli proverb’d lore, Add to our date one minute more? A few days may—a few^ years must Eoposo us iu the silent dust.

W^hilc beef furnishes a very useful protein, as a' people wc eat too mucfi meat and too( little dairy products.

Remember the family whoso milk bill does not exceed' the meat bill is an iraproi)erly fed family. To quote Prof. McCallum, of Johns Hopkins Uni versity^ “milk is the great safety mar- gin that makes up for the deficiencies iu all our other foods. By giving'intelligent .attention to' the fuel for the human machine we could add much to the length, pleasure and efficiency of life.

fin Is, More Than- Holding Its Own

Decreasing acre-yields of farm crops frequently occur in a comparatively new country. Tn spite of this, however, the ïirincipal farm crops of On- tarto have given, even higher aCre-yiells 'in the last tw’o decades itshan they did in the 20 years previous. These ihcrea.sos are knowm to be due largely to the new and better varieties introduced through the Ontario Agri- cultural, College and the Experimental Union. The m:*rket value of the increases in acre--yields of three crops alone would amouut to many times the entire cost of both the college aud the union for the past half-century.—Dr. C. A. Zavi*tz, at Experimental Union yesterday. ^ >

That on this frail dnd uncertain state, Hang matters of eternal weight: That future life in Worlds unknown Aliast take its hue from this alone: Avliether as Heavenly glo^ bright, Or dark as mlr.ery’s woeful night On this poor bcin'g all depends; Let us th’ important noW employ And live as those who never die” i'

Burns’ conception of true happiness, is brought out, in the famous lines. “It’s no in titles no in rank; It’s no, in wealth like Lon’on bank It’s no in making mucklc mair: It's Uo in books; its no in Icar, To make us truly blessed ^ If happiness hac not her seat And centre in the breast.”

In Burns’ Epistle to a Young friend, he gives, advice which savors of deep personal experience, of disappointed hope and the unsatisfying laughter of evil. The Christian religion makes its appeal to the higher life of man, ro- pre.ssing the bad giving expresssion to to the'best. He is thankful for the blessings of life, recognizing God as the giver of all things, the Sustainer of life: O thou in whom wo live and move, ■Who mad’st 'the sea and shore! Thy goodness constantly we prove And, grateful, would adore.

Now as I close it ia my sincere hope that this humble effort on my part shall help , you to recover tho great Scottish Poet from the dust and de- bris which covers him to many people even in the laud of his birth. Burns had his weaknesses we all have one direction Or other, but he w'as a great generous soul. His poems are spontaneous in feeling as tho lyrics of the Renais- sance, but they have a more human passion. Treating mostly of love, some of them yet thrill with pàtriotic ardor or with conviyial pleasure, with defiance of the rich, and a new deep instinct, half veaUzed, for freedom'aud brother- hood. - “That man to man tho world o’er, Shall brithers be for a that.”
