Thc name 'Barnum" has been a
household word throughout America
for many years. In fact it has stood
for the acme of amusement management ever since thc famous P. T.
Barnum first became king of thc
circus world. At the present time
thc cognomen "Barnum" represents
the highest point gained in another
form of entertainment; that of
hypnotism. Barnum thc hypnotist
who appears at the 0|iera House is
considered the best on the American stage to-day in his particular
line of work. The program presented by Barnum is different from the
hackneyed performance given by
most Hypnotists.

Militia teams met for thc first time
in a league football match. The
day was very fine and as both teams
were strongly represented there was

Very evenly contested but thc City
managed to score, after about 20
minutes of play, through Mailman.
Half time arrived with the score 1-0
in favor of the City. In the second
half the Militia played vory fine
football but failed in front of goal.

Attest oi Posllry Riiiisi
Mrs Sophia Davies of Vancouver,
the speaker at the special meeting
held under the auspices of the
Women's Institute ou Monday night,
was thoroughly at home with hot-
subject "Poultry Raising." Here
in the valley the matter of raising
fowl to the licst advantage to all
concerned is a vital matter and during the evening much important
information was given both by thc
speaker und through the discussion.
Mrs Davies was born in England
and there had a slight experience
with poultry Emigrating to Canada she located in Ontario, going
in for poultry raising on a commercial basis on a forty acre farm,
eggs at that time heing Oets a dozen
in summer and 25 cts in winter.
Mrs. Davics made a contract with
the King Edward Hotel to supply
all tlieir needs at n minimum of 22
cts in summer and 11 cts in winter and made a splendid success o'
her business Besides her practical
km...ledge of the work, Mrs. Davics
is a very pleasing speaker, und was
listened to with much interest.
Mrs W. V. Davies as president of
the W 1. was in the chair and
most of Ihe member*! of the Poultry
Association were nlso present.
The death occurred of Miss Cora
Etbelwynnc Chat man. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Bcnj. Chapman of
Camp Slough, at thc hospital on
iVodnosdoy afternoon, the cause of
her untimely death being appende-
eitis. She liad been quite ill for
about two weeks, and on Thursday
last hnd a relapse and although
the doctor could hardly givcany hope
for her recovery, she was brought
into the hospital on Monday night
to lie operated on, as a possible
chance, a West minster doctor
boing called to assist. The opera-
lion was quite successful but thc
ease was too far advanced to make
the necessary relief possible and the
patient passed away about four
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Chapman was a very promising and bright girl much loved l.y hor
friends, and sympathy is expressed
for the bereaved family.
BOARD OF TRADE MONTHLY MEETING
Tlie regular monthly meeting of
the Hoard of Trade was held in the
Odd Fellow's Hall on Friday ovoning, there being present; Vice-Pres!
dent W. L. Macken, Secretary
D. E. Carleton. and Messrs. D.
McGillivary, T. E. Caskey, T. J.
Polley, E. J. Boucher, G. H. W.
Ashwell,.). Burton, J. R. Anderson,
S. S. Carleton, C. E. Eckert, S.
Sutor F. li. Lyle, Mayor Waddington. Col. Boultboo, A. E. McLane,
I). IC. Munn, Jeff. Harrison, H. T.
Goodland, Mr. Hpicer nud C. A.
Barber.
In the absence of President
J. Barber, through illness, W.
Macken occupied the chair.
A letter was read from W.
Barge, of Rosedale, making complaint re mail sen-ice. A Board
of Trade notice mailed to Mr.
Barge and post marked Chilliwaek
Jan. 30, was not delivered until
Fob. 8, and Ivcaring Rosedale post
mark of same date. Four days
had elapsed between posting of
letter and delivery, with a daily
service between the two points.
The letter opened the way for a
variety of complaints and protest-
in regard to mail service in the
valley, instances being given whore
it required a month or more for a
letter to go from Chilliwack to
Sardis, and others equally inexplicable. The delivery of mail from
the old building now moved some
distance back from the street was
much disapproved of by the Board,
on thc ground that it caused thc
public much inconvenience, which
with thc cramped quarters for the
handling of the mails, constituted n
condition of affairs that should be
remedied. A resolution asking the
thc Government to secure more
suitable quarters during the construction of the new building, and
also investigate the mail service
department generally, was carried
unanimously, a copy of the resolution to be forwarded to J. D. Taylor,
M. P.
bitulithic pavement. Both were
good though expensive.
C. E. Eckert on boing called on
stated he had been working on a
'scheme of road improvement for
the valley but had not the details
worked out, and did not care to go
into the proposition until these
were complete. He would thon be
pleased to submit a plan and work
for its adoption, Mr. Eckert's remarks were received with expressed
approval.
Next to the roads are the boulevards, lawns and gardens and F.
B. Lyle was of the opinion that the
Board should start a campaign of
civic improvement, and enthuse
the citizen with the idea of beautifying his home surroundings.
A. S. Watson brought up the all
important matter of sewerage. The
Mayor in reply stated that the city
council had the matter in hand and
a scheme would be worked out
shortly. He thought a trunk sewer
at least would be put in this season,
and in this connection took up the
waterworks question, of either purchasing the present system or installing a now one. In answer to a
question the Mayor stated that thc
Elk Creek Co., has not got an exclusive franchise of the roads for
waterworks purposes.
At this juncture E. Stuart Wade,
publicity commissioner for Westminster arrived and was forthwith
called upon to address the Board ou
that important phase of Board ot
Trade work—publicity. Mr. Wide
gave a goodaddresscnthisquestion.
Thc speaker emphasized -.he bet
that to advertise profitably there
must be something to-how, a bi_._,
and a presentation of facts is they
are, and that there was nothinii like'
honesty in advertising. The valley
had the basis—the developnieut and.
growth of the past five years was
evidence of that. Good climate, good
pure water, tine agri.:ulturai ar.d
arable lands, growing transportation
facilities. During his tour months
rccent visit to the States he was
everywhere impressed with the 4s_-

change, and it was important that
B. C. should present ib indueernen-i
fairly and squarely. During hi" trip
lie had distributed three ijiarters of
a ton of literature. To anv person
who spends a winter in the east, the
west will appeal. We have the land
for agriculturalists and fruit grower-,
but in addition to this wn require
industries to give employment to
people who do not follow agricultural
pursuits. There i" only one way to
get these, and that is to go after
them, and when we get them to
keep them by patronuing them.
Buying at home was one of the best
means of growth. Merchant, ami
business men should encourage
this. In many cases less profit
would produce better results. Mr.
Wade then gave some hints aa la
tho compilation and distribution nf
publicity literature, and congratulated tho Board on the excellence
of the Booklet recently published,
stating that nothing better had
come under his ohserva tion either
in Canada or the United States.
Mr. Wade intimated that he intended to visit the valley again soon
in connection with the Fraser Valley
Progressive Association, which comprises till the rural councils and
public bodies in the valley. A
united publicity campaign in this
connection is proposed. In answer
to a question Sir. Wade stated that
Westminster'*, publicity fund was
supplied by tbe city council, out
of tiie general revenue, and wa.
considered an expense in the same
light as any other civic expenditure.
A hearty vote of thank" was tendered the speaker for his enlightening and practical address.
and Samuel Sutor were elected
members of thc Board.
Thc Council of the Board recommended several changes in thc
constitution and by laws. Changing
of thc evening of meeting from the
lirst Friday in the month to tlie
first Wednesday, and the addition
of the program and publicity committees to the machinery of tin-
Board, were the most important
alterations. It was recommended
that tlic constitution and by-laws as
amended be printed. The report
was adopted.
A petition signed by many of thc
people of Harrison, on the north
bank of tho Fraser, asking thc
Dominion Government to grunt a
subsidy toward the maintenance of
the ferry service between Chilliwack
and Harrison was read. A daily
son-ice was much needed, but at
present the returns were not remunerative enough to maintain a
regular service. The petition was
unanimously endorsed by the Board.
Mr'. Spieer introduced the subject of Indian reserves in the valley
pointing out thc injustice done thc
valley by ticing up some of thc
best land in the valley in this way.
In the discussion whicli followed it
wus pointed out that these reserves
were the sore spots of the valley.
The Indian with fow exceptions,
was carelessness personified, with
the result thut noxioiiB weeds and
pests of every discription nourished
unchecked to tlie detriment nnd discouragement of the man who wus
endeavoring to produce clean fruit
and a clean ranch. There are
about sixteen reserves comprising
about 2U0J acres of practically the I
pick of the valley soil. One Indian | Two splendid addresses were the
on an entire reserve can hold it and i features of last Sunday's meeting
in some cases this is thc extent of lot tlie P. S. A. Rev. R. Marshall,

Province, but held in trust for the College, the other. Mr. James.
Indian bv thc Dominion Govern- sen., gave n vocal selection with
ment. A resolution was passed requesting the Secretary to write J. I).
Taylor M. P. for the best plan of
procedure in dealing with the question.
Good roads throughout the valley
were also discussed. As regards the
City road improvements, Mayor
Waddington stated that tho city
council hnd the subject under advisement and had investigated the
Hassain intvement nnd also the
harp accompaniment, The attendance was not as large as usual,
owing to the almost irresistable
beckonings of Old Sol and other
glorious weather conditions. The
P. S. A. Executive was appointed
to conduct and equip the reading
rooms donated by G. lt. Ashwcll
_ Son.

"Why, Billy, there's work for

11 UIIIUO mo feel like u giant.
So iinot.lier month passed. 1 sub'
st-ribed to un employment bureau, but
the only oiler 1 reeeived wus to net us

though it nmy sound incredible tlio
problem of getting enough lo out wus
fust becoming acute. The provision
men became daily more suspicious. Wo
cut down on everything, but I kuow it
wus only a question of time when tlicy
wiiul.l refuse tn extend our credit for
the littio wo had to have. And all
around nie my neighbors went their
cheerful ways and waited for mo to
work it out. Hut whenever 1 thought
of the barroom job und tho money it
would bring I could sec them shake
their heads.
It tins bell. It wns tho deepest of all
deep hells—the middle-class hell. There
was nothing theatrical about it—no
fireworks or red lights, lt was plain,
dull, sodden. Hero wns my position:
work in my rlass I couldn't get; work
ns a young man I wns too old to get;
work as .just plain physical labor tiiese

"Let's get away from them," sho
gasped. " _ot 'a go whero there are

"Would youi" I nskeil.
" 1 '.I go to tho ends uf the earth with

How plucky she was! I couldn't

""Wo haven't even the enrfnro to go

"All wo have?" she asked.
No, not thnt. They eould only gut

eould take our belongings, thill's nil.
And they hadn't got those yet.
Hut. I hud begun lo hate tlioso neighbors, with a lleree, unrensonilig hntred.
In silence they dictated, without assisting. For a dozen years 1 luul lived
with theiu, played with Ihem, been mi

they* were worse I linn useless to mo.
There wasn't one of them big enough
to receive mo into his homo for myself

Thero wasn't n true brother nmong

Our lives turn upon little things.
They turn swiftly. Within liftecn minutes 1 had solved my problem in a

Coing down the path to town bitterly
and blindly, 1 met Murphy. Uo was a
mun with not a gray hair in his head
who wns a sort of man-of-all-work for
the neighborhood, He took care of my
furnace and fussed nbout tho grounds
when 1 was tied up at the ollico with
night work. Ho stopped me with
rutlier u shame-faced uir.
Hcg pardon, sor," ho began, "but
mono middle-dan neighbors refused to'I've got a bill couiin' duo oil tho new

kept the stand in the United Woollen
building, onco confided to me that ho
cleared some twenty-five dollars h week,
J couldn't mow my neighbors' front

though there was food in it. That wna
honest work—clean work; hut if 1 attempted it would they play golf with
me*! PeiHoiially 1 didn 't eare. I
would havo taken a job that day. But
there were the wife and boy. Tliey
were bold in ransom. It's all very well

Pastiualo hns done it; Murphy hns done
it. Don't you think I enn do it?"
She looked up ut me. I had never
seen her face more beautiful. It was
"My man—my wonderful, good
mnn!"
The primitive appellation was in
itself like a whiff of salt air. It bore
me back to the duys when a husband's
chief function was just thnt—heing a
man to his own good womnn. We looked for a moment into each other's eyes.
Then Ihe same question was born to
both of us in a moment.
"What of the boy?"
It was a more serious question to
her, I think, than it was to me. I
knew that the sons of other fathers
and mothor. had wrestled with that
life and come out strong. There were
Murphy's boys, for instance. Of course
the life would be new to my boy, but
the keen competition ought to drive
him to his best. His present life was
not doing thnt. As for the coarser details from which he hud been so
sheltered—well, a man has to learn
sooner or Inter, and 1 wasn't sure but
it was better for htm to lenrn at an
age when such things would offer no
real temptations. With Ruth back of
him I didn't worry much about that.
Besides, the boy had let drop a phrase
or two that mnde mc suspect that even
among his present associates that same
ground was being explored.
"Ruth," I snid, "I'm not worrying
ubout Dick,"
"Ho has been kept so fresh," she
murmured.
"It isn't the fresh things that keep
longest," I .aid.
"That's true, Hilly,'' she answered.
Then she thought a moment, ond as
though with new inspiration answered
mc, using again that same tender, primitive expression:
"I don't foar for my man-child."
When the boy came home from school
that night 1 hnd a long talk with him.
1 told him frankly how I had been
forced out of my position, how I had
tried tor another, how at length I had
resolved to go pioneering ju.t as his
greatgrandfather had done among tho
Indians. As I thought, the naked adventure of it appealed to him. That
was all I wished; it was enough to
work on.
Thc next day I brought out a second-
baud furniture dealer and made as good
a bargain as I could with him for tho
contents of the houBC. Wo saved nothing but tho sheer essentials for light
housekeeping. These consisted of most
of tbo cooking utensils, a half dozes
plates, cups and saucers and about a
dozen other pieces for thc table, fo
table cloths, all thc bed linen, nil our
clothes, including some old clothes wc
had been upon the point of throwing
awny, a few personal ginicraeks, aim
for furniture the following articles:
the folding wooden kitchen table, a half
dozen chairs, thc cot bed in the boy's
room, the iron bed *n our room, the long
mirror I gave Ruth on her birthday,
and a sort of china-closet thnt stood in
the dining-room. To this we added
bowls, pitchers, nml lamps. All the rest,
whicli included a full dining-room set.
a full dinner set of chinn, the furnishings of the front room, including books
i-.tni bookc'ise, chairs, rugs, pb tures;
and two or llire<* good chain, a full I

hard, for she hml taken good enre of

as much today ns we had paid for it.
Hut I accepted the offer without dick-,
ering. for it was large enough lo serve,
my ends. It would pay oil all nur
debts and leave us a hundred dollars
to the good. It was the first time since j
I married that I bad been that much
ahead.
Thnt afternoon 1 saw Murphy and I
hired of him the top tenement of his]
new house. It wns in thc Italian j
quarter of tho city and my flat con-j
-tatad of four)rooms. The rent wns'
three dollars a Week. Murphy looked
surprised enough nt tho ehnngu in my j
affair*, nn.l I mnde htm promise not to
gossip to the neighbors nbout where
I M gone.
"Faith, sor," he said, "and they
wouldn't believe it if I told them."
Tlm' wasn't all I accomplished that
day. I bought a pnir of overalls ami
presented mveclf nt the office of n contractor'l agent. I didn't hnve inv
trouble in getting in thero and I didn't
feel like a beggar as T took my place
in Iin" with nbout a dozen foreigners.
I looked them over with a "ertain
nmount of .elf confidence. Most of
Ihem <vere undcrslred men with sagging
shoulders and primitive faces. With
their big eyes they made me think of
shaggy Shetland ponies. Lined up man
for man with my lato associates they
certainly looked like an inferior lot.
1 studied them with curiosity; thero
must ue more in ihem than showed ou
the surface to bring them over here—
there must bo something that wasn't
in the rest of us fur them to make
good 'he way they did. In tho next
tix months 1 meant to liml out whut
fchat was. In the meantime just sitting
there umeng them 1 felt us though I
hud more elbow room thun 1 had had
since I was eighteen. Before me as bo-
fore them n continent strcUdiod its
great length and breadth. They laughed nnu joked nmong themselves und
stared about at everything with eager,
curious eyes. They were ready fo? anything, and everything was ready for
them—the ditch, thc mines, the railroads, the wheat fields. Wherever
things were growing utul needed men
lo help them grow, they would play
tlieir part. They say there's plenty of
|room at the top, but there's plenty of
'room at. tho bottom, too. It's in the
'middle that men get pinched.
I I wmked my way up to the window
I where a sallow, pale-fuced clerk sat in

A FIBRE EXPOSITION IN JAVA
A unique exhibit of fibre plants und
fibre-working machinery has been held
at Socrabaya, .lava, during tho past
slimmer in connection with the Fibre
Congress of the Kast indies, whieh
opened July 3rd. Dutch, German, ami
British machinery was represented,
mnde hy Krupp, Benlsch, Berand Lle-
bescher, Lees Sa Co., and Oldham. All
the fibre plants of Java, and many from
the Philippines, Siam, etc., including
sisal, agi), pineapple fibre, banana fibre,
cncoanut fibre Java cotton, knpok. ami
others, were exhibited. One exhibit
showed tho natives of Java working
kapok and cotton from the very first
stnge of preparing the fibre to tho fin
ishing of thc woven cloth.
Kapok is the silky fibre surrounding
thc seeds of the silk-cotton tree (Cciba
pnntandra), one of the noblest trees of
thc tropics. It is extensively used in
stuffing mattresses, and also in filling
life-preservers, for which latter uso it
is especially valuable, as it will sup
port a greater weight in water than
any other substance used for this purpose. A mass of pressed kapok will
support thtrty-slx or thirty-seven
times Us weight.
POOR SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
Sir John Gorst is trying to rouse the
British mind to n sense of the futility
—even to the vlclousness—of an etlu-
eatlnnnl system which bears small relationship to the practical needs of thc
time. Ills Indictment Is not lacking
In directness. "A starved und stunted race," be snys, "Is being allowed to
grow up as a legacy for the next generation to deal wltb. for In most elementary schools children ure only
drilled, not educated." Again, "The
higher nnd university schools nre still
fettered by mediaeval systems which
makes the acquisition of learning to
he produced ut examinations the mnin
work of the students." It would seem
thnt the American system Is not the
only one which needs overhauling.

Dr. Ingram says that he was $10,000
richer when he became Bishop of London thnn he is now. No one will dispute the bishop*! word, but there are

BACTERIA THAT FEED ON IRON
The organisms commonly denoted
as bacteria arc a remarkable class,
nol only us regards the Intensity of
the net Ions which they nre cnpnhlc
of exercising, despite ihelr smnll slJte,
but also us regards (heir oxtrnordlnnry
variety nnd versatility. Thus, for Instance, bacteria played n very important rote In the decomposition, which
led to the production of the Goal men-
surcs of our earth. A peculiar group
of bncterln ure the so-cnlled "Iron line-
terln." These live In highly ferruguv
ous water, nnd hnve peculiar power of
extracting tho Iron from thc water,
iron is contained In water In the form
of ferrous enrhonnte, and It Is this
which Is consumed by Iho bacteria,
who convert It Into iron hydroxide.

SKINLESS FUR8
lt Is only too woll known that furs
are, subject to the ravages of moths
und other unbidden guests. As a matter of fuel, It is only the skin to which
the fur Is attached that attracts these
creatures. Tbe idea, therefore, suggests Itself to a mind sufficiently bold
to make the step, to substitute some
other material not adapted as food
for vermin, In place of the natural
skin. The statement of the problem
is simple enough, but Us solution is
one which most people would hesitate
to attempt. Nevertheless, it appears
thut the thing has been successfully
accomplished. The following Is the
method adopted: Tbe fur Is stretched
upon a wooden frame and Is then dipped, halr-slde down. In a flat dish, the
dish being filled With water and placed
with the fur In a refrigerating room
and allowed fo freeze. When tbo fur
is frozen to a solid block, the skin Is
Sawed off With a circular saw. It cun
be further utilised for ihe nn facturo
of leather. The surface of Ibe he
block Is allowed to lil.-Il down n small
illslanee, so as In bring out the ends
of iln- hairs, nud then u number of
layers of rubber solution are applied.
After tbls 1ms sot the lee block Is
melted hit, leaving lho hair firmly
sealed lu the rubber. 'I'be product so
obtained perfectly rosombtos natural
fur iu appearance, bul differs from li
in boing nulla unassailable by the vermin which attack the latter.
VALUE OF VENTILATION
The odor of tbe ulr proves the presence of abnormal constituents nnd its
disagreeable character certainly suggests, although it by no means proves.
(hul they muy be harmful. O if
the earliest experiments bearing on
lho subject wo owe to Qrown-Se-
quard, Air was aspirated through a
series of bottles In each of which was
placed a mouse. lietween the fourth
and fifth bottles tlu- air was passed
through strong Bulpliurtc acid. Brown-
Sequaril reports that the first mouse
to die was iu (he third bottle, while
the mouse in the fifth survived without 111 effects. It was plausibly assumed that the acid bad removed some
poisonous material other than carbon
dioxide. The repetition of this experiment in the hands of competent
observers has at times given similar
results to those of Brown-Sequord
nnd at other times given divergent
results. l'ossibly tbls is to be ox-
plained by the differences in the rate
at which the nir Is aspirated through
the bottles or by some other uncontrolled condition of the experiment. It
can hardly be doubted that, under the
given conditions, toxic substances are
added to the air; and, since these nre
removed by sulphuric acid, It Is possible that they are of basic nature.
The presence of toxic constituents
in the air of a crowded room is also
indicated by experiments in which the
water vapor of the air Is condensed
by cold nnd the liquid thus obtained
is administered to an animal In one
way or another. While the methods
of work are decidedly open to criticism, it would seem that In many of
them distinctly toxic and even fatal
results have followed. In other experiments large quantities of the air
of the room have been passed through
sulphuric acid, the acid subsequently
neutralized, und the liquid thus obtained has proved to have toxic properties.
Assuming thut ibe positive results
from experiments of this kind should
be given greater weight than negative
results, wc are sllll Justified In concluding that only tho air of the crowded room contains some poisonous material, We nre not Justified In assuming that tl comes from the lungs,
since there Is obviously the possibility
of contamination from tbe skin, clothing, decaying food particles In the
mouth, or catarrhal exudates from the
air passages, and thc like. This bus
an obvious practical bcurlng on the
older teaching, that while the carbon-
dioxide is not of Itself poisonous, it
indicates the quantity of poisonous
material present. This cannot be
true unless the poisonous material
comes from the lungs; and there
seems to be prnctlcnl agreement tbnt.
when the respired air Is received directly from the trachea of a normal
animal, It Is not only Itself odorless,
but there Is no odor fn the liquid obtained when the tracheal nir Is condensed by cold; nor do nny toxic ef-
feets follow tho administration of this
condensed liquid to an animal.
PERNICIOUS PUBLICITY
Speaking of various tun tiers, lho
Ban Francisco Argonaut remarks:
"<>ur exposition manngen- ought not
to have asked permission to carve
"Sun Krniioiseo, 1916," In one of Ihe
big trees in BeqUola Grove and the Interior Department ought not to hnve
granted it. It is quite enough thnt
femes, dead walls, and house roofs
should be sacrificed to Ihe passion for
advertising -'publicity,* we believe Is
now the phrase. The beauties and
grandeurs of nature should be exempt.
Public resentment against the promoters of the PortOJQ festival for defacing float Island has not yet died
out; and 11 Is n demonstrable fact that
resentment against a recent candidate
for sheriff for writing bis mime across
the fnee of Twin Peak- contributed to
his defeat. There Is logic and propriety In advertising our coming exposition In reasonable ways; but It ts
offensive nnd outrageous to defnee the
Sequoln Grove In exploitation of anything."
HISTORY OF THE WORD "0A8"
It wns the ttelglnn chemist, Joh.
Haptlst vnn Helmont— IR77 to 1644—
who for the first time Introduced thc
word "gns" Into use, nnil experts and
philologists hnve long wondered
whence hn derived this expression,
Max Speter gives u lengthy account nf
Ihe history of tho controversy nnd tho
etymology of the word gas. From this
It seems thnt Helmont derived this
word by a transformation of the Greek i
word chaos, while others think that
the Siiiirikrit word akasha—celestial
ether-—was the basic word. Ramsay is
of tbe opinion lhat gas Is derived from
the Herman word gelst. More Interesting thun tho etymology of the word
is Its history. After the death of Helmont it appears to have been entirely
forgotten, and It wus not used again
until 1778, when Macquer used tt In
his "Dlctlonnuiro de Chymle." From
there Lavoise took the word over into
his system—traite elemental!**, 1789.
In Germany tho word gas was first
mentioned In connection with reports
of Montgolder's balloon ascensions tn
Purls, lt was then called "der gas?'
and from that time on the term has
been in common use. However, J. Chr.
Adelung, a well-known publisher of
dictionaries, used it only with reluctance, calling it a barbaric word,
which Helmont must have taken from
the Hebrew, or perhaps from the
Dutch word geest (spirit), and be
hopes (bat a more proper word would
be found. Hut the wish of Adelung
ims never been fulfilled, uud Helmunt's
word has been preserved to the present day.
WHEELS MODERN APPLIANCE
Si range though ll muy appear,
wheels were not used generally for
facilitating transit lu Britain tin comparatively rocont Units. The very
first carriage was mado for Queen
I'.liv.ahcl.i Iii 10Q8; (he lirsl lhat plied
for hire In London were hi 102(1, ami
the tlrst stage coaches Mere In ltir.il.
Urondly spoaklng, -ill tho curly wheels
were compression wheels with radhil
spokes. The Introduction of ihe bub*
penslop wheel for bicycles marked n
grooJ advance In Uie shock-absorbliiK
powers of wheels. The first bicycle
wheels wot* inpresslon wheels, ami
had wooden spokes and rlin wllh an
Iron lyre. The wheels were Just ordinary light earihigo wheels. The curved
mom ber connecting the buck axle to
the (op of the front wheel Is not al-
togothor unlike that used In the chariots nf the ancients, Later bicycle
wheels had rndlal-wlro spokes which,
being In tension, kept tho rim in position. In a suspension wheel the spokes
and hub nre in extension, while tho
rim Is lu compression. It Is a common,
though not unnatural error to suppose
that the spokes Of a modern bicycle
wheel are sometimes In compression.
As a mutter of fact, tbey are always
In tension, even those between lho
hub and the ground, when a heavy
rider Is in tbe saddle.
THE VOGUE OF "ALICE"
A quarter of a century ago "Alice
In Wonderland," the nursery classic
which hns delighted millions of people,
was dramatized, and there is shortly
lo take plnce nt Ihe Empire, Liverpool,
a celebration of this event; for "Alice"
Is simply worshipped In the north.
The history of "Alice in Wonderland" Is one of peculiar interest. It
originally consisted of a collection of
verbal stories with which the author,
the late Itev. Charles Dodgson—Lewis
Carroll—wns wont to delight his child
friends.
He was subsequently persuaded to
publish them In book form, nnd the
work at once leapt into widespread
popularity, and is now recognized as
being one of the finest works in the
Knglish language.
It seems almost Impossible thnt tho
writer of a book of such pure Imagination should at the same time distinguish himself In the higher mathematics, and produce such works as
"The Formulae of Plane Trlgnome-
try," "A New Theory of Parallels,'*
etc. Yet so It was, and this apparent
anomaly Is responsible for an amusing
incident nt court.
When "Alice in Wonderland" waa
exciting enthusiastic criticism
throughout lbc length and breadth of
the land. Queen victoria, who had
beard of Lewtf Carroll's success, asked that any other books written by the
same author might be sent lo her.
You may Imagine the Itoynl surprise
when an ohtrusc mathematical volume
was plnced in her hands!

fallen on to thc table and was rolling
off, against a metallic plate covered
with a piece of paper, nnd nt the same
time against an Insulated electric tine.
To his amuzement he saw u septa
print of the coin Impressed upon the
puper. This happened about twelve
years ago. Since (hen the Inventor
has followed up this observation, nnd
has now developed a process for printing without Ink. He uses dry paper
Impregnated with certain chemicals,
whose nature is not disclosed, in tho
process of printing the paper travels

The date of tho discovery In Europe
of porcelain, us distinguished Irom
earthenware, is known quite exactly.
in 1708 tlio professional alchemist
liottger, of Meissen, acting under the
"inspiration und assistance" of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony und
later King of 1'oland, produced the so-
called red porcelain, using for the
purpose Saxon earth. Incidentally remarked, this "inspiration and assistance" consisted in Imprisonment, with
the prospect of release only when he
hud discovered that "philosopher's"
Stone which would change lead Into
gold—flic discovery of porcelain being
a side Issue, ll was only by accident
that Bottffer arrived at the use of
Kaolin fm- "ohlna" making. Report
(aya (hat this happened by Home of
Lho powder from his wig- such powder
being Iti fuel kaolin or (rue China clay
falling Into Ihe fire. It was not until 1710, however, that ho had Hueeoed-
'■il lu inaniifactui'lng white porcelain;
or ut uny rule It was not until Ihls
dale thai ho showed ll lu public—
namely, ut the gre.it Leipzig "MoSSO"
nr fair. The raw material wan for u
long time Imported; but Inter It was
found that thore waa uu abundant supply lu Saxony Itself,
Hut this discovery of liottger, to
whom a BtalUO has been erected lu

which he bad been imprisoned—was

of the Elector Augustus himsolf. There
Imd of course been many attempts to

hut ull III vain—all that hml been dime
boforo Bottgor's time was to produce
lho so-called soft or "frit" porcelain,
which resembled the true porcelain In

century.

assertion on Chinese information. All
belief in a still earlier origin—nnd
Ibis belief has long obtained among
many who nro Interested In the subject—Is based upon loo little recorded
evidence to be considered us of uny
Value. The "Chinese porcelain," found
in 1834 in an Egyptian grave of 1800
B.C.. proved to be a fraud of the commonest sort-
But now having the advantage of
long and careful research, Herr Ernst
Zimmermani Curator of the world-
famous Royal Porcelain Collection in
Dresden, has come to the conclusion
thai Chinese porcelain was Invented
toward the end of the fifth century
of our era; and be names as the Inventor Ihe Minister of Public Works,
of that (line, Ilo Chou. Tbls Ho Choti
Is snld to have been a collector ami
connoisseur of old painting and the
like, uml to hnve bad a very thorough
knowledge of uiitlquitles. This was
at a period when unfortunately the
art of glass-making had boon lost for
Somo time, as thnt of hardening bronze
Is to us; and while the workmen did
not dare to mnke new experiments, ho
succeeded In making out of "green"
porcelain, vessels whicli resembled Ibe
long wlshed-for glass. Records of Ihe
suine period go to show ibal workmen (hen had sucrceded In making
VOBBftls which were "white nnd brilliant us judo,"
Prior to this time, says Zimmerman,
the Chinese records concerning porcelain uro scarce nnd unsatisfactory,
During the Tung dynasty—818 lo 907
of our era—on Ihe oilier hand, there
commences u scries of praises of Ihe
ceramic manufacturers of the time.
Earlier records concerning ceramics
can In no wise be considered as referring to porcelain; while there is no
difficulty In recognizing in later de-
scrlptlons tho true hard porcelain. In
fact, in the records above referred to,
nol only the time of the Invention Is
mentioned, but even ihe wny is pointed
mil by which it was arrived at, the
production of a material the qualities
of which luy betw.een those of the
previous ceramic wares and those of

ACUTE EFFECTS OF BAD AIB
Jn studying the physiological aspects
of ventilation it is of practical import-
mire to distinguish between what may
be caned tho acute effects of exposure
of an hour or so to vitiated air, and
those effects whieh are produced by
prolonged exposure to sueli nir. While
the line cannot be sharply drawn between them, still it would seem that
the. toxic material acting for long periods of time should produce a cumulative undermining of health quite different from the immediate acute interference with the running of the human
inecliuiiism which nil havo experienced
after half an hour's stny in n crowded
room. Toxic material, so fnr as it
is a factor, docs harm chiefly if not entirely when it nets over comparatively
long periods, and we must seek elsewhere the explanation of the acute ef*
fects, Tliey »re sufliciently familiar to

The symptoms are strikingly similar
to those experienced in the warm mug
gy days of summer time, und in two
respects the atmospheric conditions in
the two eases are the same; namely, the
high temperature nnd the high doffreo
of humidity. Evry breath of expired

temperature of the body, and saturated
with aqueous vapor, The result Is th-*.
most unfavorable of conditions for the
maintenance of the constant temperature of the body, in the effort to maintain which resort is had to vascular and
other adjustments, which, while successful in their immediate object, are unfavorable for other phsyiologieal activities. So important is this maintenance of the constant temperature that
almost everything else, sueh us digestion, mental work, and the like is sacrificed to it.
A constant temperature means, of
course, the maintenance of equality between the heat production and the heat
output of the body, llent production,
when the body is not engaged in muscular activity, is, to all intent-*, and
purposes, constant above 08 or 70 deg.

How Aviators are Killed
The reason so many aviators are
killed or injured—the cause of one
hundred accidents and sixty deaths, or
dose to two-thirds of the casualties of
the aviation field—is not, as generally
supposed, au excessivo clement of
danger In Hying due either to the
limitations of the aeroplane or to thc
helplessness of the aviators in unsettled
atmospheric conditions. These are but
minor factors, being responsible for less
than one-third of the accidents that
huve happened In air flight.
Thc aviation death-roll comprises
tne names of nbout one hundred men
who have lost their lives on thc aviation field in a little over three years.
To attribute all theso deaths and accidents to the advancement of the new
science would be little short of a libel
on aviation ns a profession ns well as
an applied science. Lieutenant Sol-
fridge, Captain Kerber, Leon Dela-
grnnge, Charles Wachtcr, Churles S.
Itolls, George Chavez, Lieutenant
Princeton, Lieutenant Midge, Captain
Kugleharilt, and n few others, about
twenty in all, may be said to bave given
their lives for the advancement of
si-icnce, for they met their deaths in
the lirst accidents of different kinds
and these accidents had value for the
lessons which they taught. These
deaths may tie renurdede as the coat tn
llesh and blood of developing tho new
invention. But twenty deaths and
about fifty accidents aro all that can
properly be charged to this account.
The rest lost their lives, either because
they undertook to dy without proper
qualifications or training; or because
they became careless nnd broke the
rules of safe flying for the sake of gain
or reputation; or beeauso the makers
of tin ir aeroplanes were so pressed
with orders that they eould not stop to
apply men iih of safety, or were so lured
by Ihe vision of returns ami prestige
lo be gained by speedy and light lunch-
ines thut they overlooked the element
of Hufety. lu nny event, the deaths
from these causes were entirely un-
necessary nml avoidable.
Tho casual tl 08 due to tho incspori-
once of the aviator aro more numerous
than the cnsualtics duo to nny other
Cause, inexperience being responsible
for over one third of the denths nnd
half of tho accidents. Twenty men
lost their lives in tho Inst twelve months
because of their inoxporioneo with Hying machines. These woro mostly cases

THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
All mot-bets wore present, at the
11 regular meeting of the oity council
on Monday evening in thc clerk's
office.
A letter was road from the Elk
Creek Waterworks Co., stating that
ilie proposal of purchase of the
Waterworks system ny the city had
lieen discussed at the annual meeting nf the shareholders, and that
the directors and two shareholders
luul been authorized to go into the
subject.
An invitation to attend the Union
of Canadian Municipalities convention ut Windsor, Ont . was filed.
Edward Hunt, the contractor for
the new post office asked for a third
of the width of the street in front
of the proposed I uilding, for material, etc. Twelve feet outside width
of sidewalk was granted, a sidewalk to Iw laid around the enclosure
The Ontario Securities Co., sent
a statement regarding tlie city bonds
recently purchased liy that tirm.
which was received and Hied.
Provincial Inspector of Dykes
E. A. Wilmot replied to city council's proposal re collection of dyke
tuxes 011 city property .Mr. Wilmot stated that it was too late to
make arrangements for collection
for this year, and pointed out the
necessity that the total tax should
lie paid at one oiliee to avoid confusion. On this and other points
the council agreed that the city
would have no advantage in collecting Ihe taxes, and the letter was
received and filed.
Revised plans re Thou Bonny-
castle were submitted by R. A.
Henderson, C. E. and approved of.
The assistance of the Mayor and
city solicitor Bowes was granted
property owners on Reeec avenue
and adjacent properties, in an effort
to secure a re-adjustment of the
survey, to comply with the registered plan. By an error the lot* as st
present defined are thirteen feet
too far east, each owner residing on
portions of two lots. The mistake
occurred in presuming that Young
street was forty feet wide at this
point, where in reality it is sixty-
six feet wide.
R. A. Henderson, C. E. on request of the council gavo a clear
nd satisfactory explanation of thc
situation and the steps necessary to
remedy the matter.
The purchase of a strip of property six feet in width from B. A.
Irwin at the corner of Young and
Westminster streets for the purpose
of making Young road a uniform
width was discussed. Mr. Irwin
allies his propclty at $50,000, the
strip required constitutes one-fifth
of tin- whole, and would therefore
be worth somewhere about 810,000.
The portion of the building whieh
would be removed brings a rental
of 8900 a year or nine |»r cent on
an investment of *10 (100. Alderman Eckert who had been delegated to interview Mr. Irwin, gave the
above infomation. He, with the
Mayor was appointed to confer with
Mr. Irwin.
Alderman Goodland again
brought up the subject of city
sanitation and the disposal of
garbage aud the matter was discussed at some length. It was decide I
lo rigidly enforce thc "Chilliwaek
Sanitary By-law," the mnre important provisions of the by-law to In-
printed and distributed throughout
thc cily.
No protests having been received
re thc construction of a plank walk
on Young street as petitioned for
hy W. .1. Calloway and others, the
Chairman of lioard of works was
requested to proceed with same.
The arrangement with Reeve
Wilson on behalf nf the Municipali
ty re .grading of Hodgins avenuo to
hospital, city to pay half, wos
considered satifactory
The Mayor reported that he had
visited wuter properties at lhmville
Creek, Coitus Lake and Smith's
Falls, and with It A. Henderson
would stake out and make request
for water privileges.
For two horse collars for use in
fire hall the clerk wa3 requested to
convey the thanks of the council to
Westminster city council.
The lumber tender of thc Abbotsford and Trading Co., for car load
lots was accepted, and that of tho
Chilliwack Planing Mills for
quantities less than car load lots.
A request for 85(10 hy the Board
of Trade for Publicity purposes was,
on the lirst division in the proceedings in the 1912 council, laid over
for one week.

"For many years." writes Richard
McCnllum, Stirling, Ont., "I have suffered from Catarrh, and continually
hawked and coughed, so that my
throat was always in an inflamed, irritable condition.
"Doctors' medicine did not help me
in the least, and all other remedies I
used were quite useless. In one case
it was time wasted in snuffing powder
up the nose; in another using a greasy
ointment, and so on. Not one of them
was the least bit of good.
"I heard Catarrhozono favorably
spoken of, and tried it. Really it benefited me more in a few hours than
years of treatment with doctors' and
other so-called remedies.

TELEPHONES IN GREAT BRITAIN
On December .Hat, ISM 1, tho telephone service of the United Kingdom
became, like the telegraph service of
thnt country, a government monopoly.
The history of British telephones is
reviewed in a recent report of Consul
Itufua Fleming, stationed nt Edinburgh. An net of 1800 gavo to the
Postmaster (JehernI the monopoly nf
operating telegraphs, nnd iu ISKO, ua
a result of the case of the Attorney-
(.eiii-ral vs. the Edison Telephone Co.,
it wns decided that telephones were
included in the provisions of this net.
However, the government, instead of
buying up the patents mid tutting the
telephone service into its own bunds,
granted licenses to the existing telephone companies. At first the companies were restricted In their operations to limited nrcna, but from IHXI
onward the licenses were applicable
over the entire kingdom. Tina led to
the organisation of largo companies,
and by 1H1I2 practically nil the liu-ti-

There nre approximately 044,000 telephones iu the United Kingdom, but it
is estimated that if tho system were
used in thc sume ratio to population
us in thc United Stitt.s, the number
would be nearly .1,000,01)0, .ludging
from the history of tho telegraph service, it ia expected that tho transfer
of the telephones to tho government
will result iu a great extension of lho
system.
FOOT AND MOUTH DI8EASE IN
ENGLAND
Just on the eve of England being declared free from foot and mouth dls-
ease another outbreak has occurred
within u score of miles of the last In
Somerset. The Board of Agriculture
sent out notices withdrawing nil restrictions lu connection with the October case, but these hud scarcely
reached their destination when telegraphic intelligence was received of a
further suspected outbreak, and tho
suspicion proved only too well grounded. Though it Is only about twenty
miles from the lust, there Is no reason
to believe that the latest arose out
of the former, and they are still as
much In the dark na ever regarding
the origin of the trouble. A committee of enquiry appointed haa already
begun Its work, und It hus the best
wishes of all breeders. The Koyul
Agricultural Society has made a sensible regulation regarding the sales at
next year's show, it is to the oltool
that If animals are bought for export
uud the country lo which they are
to be sent Is declared und the uiiIiuuIh
paid for, (he sale shall be cancelled If
within fourteen days from the date
of thc auction the porta In the particular country ure closed on account of
foot and mouth disease or for some
other reason. This will probably be
udopted In connection with other sales,
and would certainly be fairer lo buyers, and give Ihem more confidence to
bid, nnd confidence bus boon sadly undermined during the hist six months.

HOW FILMS AEE MADE POR THE MOVING PIOTUEE SHOWS THAT ARE SO POPULAR NOWADAYS
Till, time hns long since passed wben
a sensible person could sneer at
moving pietu.es.. or minimize
their importance in the life of the cum*
inanity. There are still many, however,
whose*attitude toward them is one
uither of avowed hostility or of suspicion. Recognized aa inevitable, tho moving pictures are eveu yet considered na
a kind of evil, to be kept down us much
as possible.
But while this 1ms been, nnd still is,
the attitude of most ndults whose education has lifted them a plane above
processes of digestion, and very valuable ones of hcurt-nction. Still other
medical men have utilized moving pictures to show the externa) symptoms of
various nervous cases. Also, there are
over one hundred films showing surgical
operations by skilled practitioners,
which are available for medical school
instruction.
Iu various schools of technology, moving pictures ure utilized to show mn*
chine-shop methods, The entire behaviour of u machine in actual operation can thus he illustrated to a clusa*

uf. the crews. The army and tho experiment stations of the Department of
Agriculture arc following the lead of
the navy.
Moving pictures arc easily utilized in
agricultural instruction. If a film-
camera i? placed by a gluss seed-box,
ami a picture is taken six or eight times
a day. the whole growth of a plant
mny be shown. Of course, wheu the
lilin is run through the projecting machine, you see the seed go into the
ground, sprout, grow, flower, and como
to fruition all in the space of ten minutes; but .£ you make proper allowance
for this acceleration, you get a vivid
picture of plant growth. The behavior of harvesting machines, seed drills,
and the like, can alto he illustrated in
action, in order to teach modern, scientific farm methods.
A hop grower in New Vork State uses
moving pictures of his plantuticn to
interest investors and buyers in the
city, who cannot get out to sec the actual process of hop culture. The American Tobacco Company has a similar series of moving pictures, covering the
tobacco industry, which is used for
much the same purpose. Salesmen for
other industries, of varied kinds, now
interest possible buyers by means of
motion pictures.
We may well ask, if commerce can
muke such use of moving pictures, and
if they are valuable in highly technical
education, why should elementary education neglect tbem, where they would
have the added appeal of dramatic antl
pictorial interest?
Indeed, many of tho technical scientific subjects, nnd such of the medical
subjects ns arc proper for general exhibition, havo already been shown on
battleship and scenes on board, whoro
the havoc is indescribable,
Not long iigo an officer from tho
State board of health of Louisiana,

The University of Wisconsin however, hus gone a stop further, and hns

.\s an Illustration of the varied edit-
national films whlOll, without any orders
from anybody the manufacturers have
n I ready provided for tho put runs, especially the childron, of the present
i-ommercial thent es, we hnve only to
scan the lists of a single firm.
Kor Instance, a well known French
firm, operating largely In America, hus,
besides cortain scion ti fie films already
mentioned, pueh interesting pictures ns
" Hobhie's Microscope,'' showing the
food on the table, thc blood, tho sap
in a leaf, and other common things ami
processes under tho microscope. It
has a bountifully colored film showing
the entire growth of n chrysanthemum.
It hns a marvelously clear picture of
the life nnd activities of a carrot-caterpillar. If nil these films, and many
more like them, can bo prepared for
commercial purposes, nnd can interest
people who have come to the theatre
solely for amusement, without the nid
of teacher or lecturer, how vast might
be the carefully directed use of moving pictures in education!
But even more thun in scientific subjects, the manufacturers huve fouud

above all, it shows the huge shovels und
derricks und machines in actual operation. You see tho dirt fly, you watch
tho cut grow before your very eyes;
you cun sec how u grout canal is dug.
One of the favorite geographical subjects for thc normal child is mountain
climbing, especially in the Alps. A
moving picture camera hns been carried
to the top of the Matterhorn, picturing
various stnges of the ascent, tlic perilous inclines, the glacier crossings, nnd
finally the panorama from the summit.
Other peaks of the Alps have nlso been
scaled with a camera. These pictures
have a thrill which no words of teacher
or bonk can carry to the child.

ctilty hy giving her u kiss and a silk
gown.
Needleas to say, the above legondj Is
of no historic value, but It Is to be
found, witli many variations, In the
earliest lives of the saints, thereby
proving the antiquity of the custom.
Very quaint, too, in some Instances,
are the methods adopted for giving
effect to these leap yeur proposals.
The Burmese maiden lights In her
window the "love lamp," when the boy
of her fancy pusses her father's house
at eventide of the first day of leap
year, and keeps It there night after
night until she either achieves her object or his prolonged silence shows
that he, at all events, Is unresponsive.
Then, if she Is iytlll desirous of being
wed, ahe signals her wish in similar
fashion to some other likely lad, and
so on until either her matrimonial aspirations are satisfied or leap year
comes to an end.
In like manner the Moravian gipsy
mold takes a leap year cake and
throws It within the tent dour uf the
man she would wed.
An Andaluslun peasant girl utilizes
a pumpkin pie fur a similar purpose.
In Tarragona the dark-eyed stnortti-i
twist their powder-puffs iniu leap */«ar
pompoms for their favorite ,uwilier-.,
and if the recipient wear** it _t the
next bull-fight it is a match.

SOME LEAP YEAR HISTORY
This year Is Leap Year, when the
ladles may propose to the gentlemen.
Many people regard thla as a new
joke.
As a matter of fact, It Is a very ancient custom indeed, and one, moreover, which haa upon several occasions
received legal recognition and sanction
In various parts of the world.
Thus, In Scotland, many years ago,
an Act of Parliament waa passed
which ordained that any maiden, no
matter whether of high or low degree,
ahould have thc liberty In leap year
to propose to the man of her choice,
and If he refused to marry her, then
he was to forfeit one hundred pounds,
or less, according to his rank and estate. It Is worthy of note that a woman—Queen Margaret—ruled over
Scotland when Ihls measure became
law.
Moreover, the Act was by no means
a dead letter. Several proserullons
took place under It, and fines were frequently Indicted, und pnld. It wua
held to be a good oefenee, however, If
the accused was able to prove thnt he
was already engaged to be married at
the time of receiving the proposal.
At a Inter date similar laws were
enacted by various states on the continent of Europe, and rigidly enforced,
more especially In Genoa, where In one
yenr no fewer thnn 363 prosecutions
SIMPLE FARE OF ORUlOS
The early Britons, according ta the
testimony of Dtodoms Slcutns, wen*
remarkably simple ln their diet. The
grain they cultivated in little patcltaa
wos reduced lo pasts In a mortar tn.i
funned their chief article uf fuod.
Practically the only additions tu lim
table were milk and tlesh. On groat
and solemn occasions, bowevsc aa In
times of public calamity, an unnatural
feast was celebrated. The Druids -en-
Joined the Immolation of certain victims to excite or to appease one of
their multifarious deities. *A venerable
Druid, perhaps tr*-mbling himaelf ac
the awful rites he was about Co perform, led the silent flock into the secsst
recesses of the sacred grov.a of oak-
There, at the dark hour of midni-_hc
the human ottering* waa brought furtJt
uinl adorned fur the altar. At the
falal sign the consecrated rtaggT**? a_M
plunged Into the victim's heart. Tba
body was then laid open, the *>nrruil9
examined, and the augury pronuun*c«*L
Finally the bloody butchers sat down
to their horrid feast, each one without
exception religiously pnrtakim? of rha
human sacrifice. These awful osgj_M
were celebrated with weird rites rend
the mysteries of an esoteric roHjgten
In the deep and gloomy reces_*?a of tha
primeval forest.
DIDN'T KNOW HIS LUCK
A certain gentleman, having recently moved Into a new district, hail _fl
yet no experience of that terrible
scourge known aa the town'- nriLaa
bund.
Consequently when, a few days before Christmas, a man called upon him
nnd Informed him that the band would
play Ma selection of carols in fn.nt of
selected houses," Mr. X. had no »&$fle-
tlon to his name heing added to the
Hat.
If Mr. X. was surprised when the
band didn't turn up. he waa simply
aatounded when, on Boxing Day. hla
visitor called again "for that little
donation."
"But," protested the gentleman.
"your hand did nol play In front of
my house!"

Next Sunday morning the Uev.
C. H. Hueslis M. A., Western
Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance
of Canada, will preach in the
Methodist church. Mr. Huestis is
a forceful speaker and is visiting
chilliwack in thc interests of the
work he represents. He will preach
in Cook's Prcshyterian church in
thc evening, and will doubtless attract large congregations.
Service will be held in St. Mary's
Catholic church on morning next at
10.30.
Sunday last waa a day of
special interest to the people
or St. Thomas church. At thc
morning service, Mr Scarles,
recently appointed Incumbent at
Rosedale, was ordained as a Deacon,
by Bishop de I'encicr of Westminster. The service was participated in by Archdeacon Pen-
trcath of Vancouver, Rev. C. B.
Clark, of Sardis, and Canon Hinehliffe of Ht. Thomas church. Thc
Ordination sermon by the Bishop
was n treat. Taking the text "Now
concerning spiritual gifts 1 would
not have you ignorant," thc Bishop
gave a clear exposition of Church of
England rule of faith, the Churcli,
and the Ministry, what they are,
an.l mean*tind wherein they differed from the Roman church aud thc
separated non-Roman churches.
There were differences and those
should be recognised, but with
charity. Thc characteristic of this
generation was a question mark,
and this desire for investigation was
leading to Clod, tor without religion
there is nothing to give satisfaction.
He pointed out that thc greatest
force of thc Anglo-Saxon race is her
religion, and cinpliiMtzed the necessity for teaching, study, and
practice in individual life, and the
making of Christlnl).teaching evident
in our Law Courts, Legislatures,
municipal Ixxlios, thus to permeate
all the activities of lifo. Thc
Bishop expressed himself as bt-ing
delighted with the action of Ihe
local authorities in prohibiting
Sunday shooting. In speaking of
the candidate Mr. Searles, he commended him to the love and support'of the peopc of the valley.
He had been dediented in Baptism,
consecrated in Confirmation, and
in Ordination set apart as a spiritual gift (or man ) in the work of
the church. The beautiful Ordination service, was followed by
the celebration of Holy Communion.
In the evening Archdeacon Pontreath gave a much appreciated
discourse, to a large congregation.
Tho Ordination service was the
first ever held in St. Thomas church.
The Methodist Ladies Aid will
give a social for the congregation at
the K. of P hall on Tuesday,
March 12 at eight p. in. Members
and friends will l»- cordially welcomed.
Dr. Anna Henry of Chentu,
China, is viM'ing at the home of
her cousin Mr. B. A. Irwin. Dr
Henry was a medical Missionary at
Chentu nnd during the present
revolution was actively engaged in
the work of tho Red Cross Society.
