IN WINDSOR Big Arms and Ammunition Concern Builds Branch Factory in Canada Canadian endorsement of quality la loaded snot shells has brought the Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company across tho border with iho first ammunition factory to be built in this country by United States manufacturers to supply this market. This big arms and ammunition concern, now nearu.g Its one hundrodth year of business activity, has lis principal factories nt Brl lgeport, Conn., U.S.A., where ammunition Is made, and at Uton, N.Y., U.S.A., the home of modern arms malting, Up to this year the steadily Increasing Remington business In Canada has been handled from tho home factories, but of lute our dealers nnd sportsmen have made the demand so strong that early In 1913 the company's Executive Board decided to build a branch factory ou this sldo ot the line. Windsor, Ontario, offered advantage.! as a contral distributing not' and as a skilled labor market and early In 1918 a factory site consisting of over one hundred acres was purchased there. The problem then was to rush the plant to early completion and Install an equipment capable of producing ammunition ot the same high quality demanded In the strict 'homo factory' inspection. Tho order was given to spare no expense In providing for the expeditious filling of the unusually htavy orders of the year. A large force of workmen was recruited and five months from the day the first ground was broken Windsor boasted a strictly modern ammunition factory equipped w'tli the latest improved machinery, a ballistic range and chronograph for testing penetration, velocity, pattern, etc, together with powder magazines .-.nd storage warehouses. Builders who watched the seemingly magical creation of the splendid plant in all Us completeness claim that a remarkable record was made lu the erection and installation work. Two railroads have built switches to the factory door and there Is a direct connection with the lake routes so that evcrv facility U afforded for prompt shipments. Deliveries of the famous Arrow, Nit.ro Club and New Club speed shells are already being made from the new factory. Mlnard's Liniment Curt.

The Dog and the Lobster A Scotsman was strolling through the market-place in Glasgow one city and close at his heels followed his faithful collie. Attracted by a fine display of shell and othtr fish, the Scot slopped to admire, perhaps to purchase. The dog stood by, gently wagging its tall, while Its master engaged the fishmonger lu conversation. Unfortunately for the dog, its tall dropped for a moment over a big basketful ot fine, live lobsters. Instantly one of the largest lobsters snapped its claws on the tail and the surprised collie dash id off through the market yelping its pain, while the lobster hung on grimly, though dashed violently from side to side. The fishmonger for a moment was speechless with Indignation, then, turning to his prospective customer, he bawled: Mon! mon! whustle to yer dog; whustle to yer dog! Hoots, mon, returned the oilier complacently, whustle to yer lobster!

Advice to Farmers Present prospects I mitosis * fair orop ef (rain throughout the three wsslsrn provinces, but do not point lo sny larger yield than last year. 'I'llIs, combined with the big sliortaie In the spring wheat crop of the United States, and also that ot Ki.-wico nud other European countries, and Ihe present high juice ot corn, all points toward a high level of prices, and wa cannot see sny reason why prices should Ue hammered down to the. low level of last year. We claim Ihs right value ot 1 Northern should not bs less than 99c: 2 C. \V. oats, 40o; 1 N.W.r1. Flaxseed, It.50, and 3 0, W. flat-ley, DOe; basis In store Fort William or Port Arthur, but or course, It farmers rush their grain on thn marks! early with instructions to sell for what it will bring, prices are bound to be foroed tower. Any farmev who Is In a position lo bold bis Rintrt at home should do so. and those who are obliged lo sell lo get custi should ship and sell only enough to carry them ovor. If tlie selling: ot all our grain could be spread evenly over the whole season, prices could easily average from lOo to ir>o per bushel "ntaher, which would mean an enormous extra amount of rash brought Into Western Canada. Last year lhe larger bulk ot our grain was sold at ridiculously low prices- selling down as low ss 7.1,o for I Northern; loaio for 1 N.W.O, Flaxseed: ado for 2 C.w. Oats, nnd 41c for 3 C.W, Barley. Since spring opened we have sold 1 Noil hern at 100c; 1 N.W.C. Flaxseed 130c; 2 C.W. Oals nt 36c, a nil 3 C. VV. Barley at Bio, basis In store Fort William or Port Arthur. This easily shows the huge loss to farmers through marketing their grain In enormous quantities right at the beginning of Ibe season. There is far more reason this year for prices of our wheat ranging above the dollar mark lhan last year. Once prices are forced down It ls hard to get them to advance again until stocks In sight are greatly reduced; therefore, be careful not to rush your grain forward too fast. Every carlot held back helps Just that much te hol4 prices up and put them higher. We would advise farmers thst whenever possible load your grain direst from the waggon Into the oar. snd whe�� you send your shipping bill tt a commission agent, ilguie out Ihe situation wsll before selling. To send instrue- tlons to sell for whatever it will bring. ._ serves to break prices down mors il qulokly thsn any other wav we know of. Instruut your commission agent that you went your grain sold at ��� certain piles snd then bold fer thai price. If you do have to pay two or three cents per bushel storage what of It, bscauss you will eventually get Ihe price you went, and besides you are helping to hold prices up. Ths distribution of cars should alas be watched closely. Farmers should get together nnd arrange lo have a representative keep careful watch on the railway order book nnd sea that caoh man Is allotted ears according lo the (train Acl. That 1st what the Grain Aot Is for aud If you do not use It, the fault lies with yourselves, We are grain commission merchant! and give our undivided attention to this business. Our experience extends around '.'.% years, and fanners consigning grain for us to handle receive the benont ot tills experience In tlie advlos and Information we give thorn. We iiavs no agents In the country, simply because our lo per bushel commission charges does not give us prollt enough to permit of engaging agents at country points, and at the same time show even a smalt profit on the season's business. Writs us for our shipping Instructions and grain market advice. Even" If you do not ship grain for us lo handle, write anyway. The Information may helo you to secure better net returns, snd It may lead to bringing us some of ; your business the following season, i Wo can handle your grain right for yon I and we know It, and we want you to l know It also. That will mean more 1 business for us, which Is exactly what] we are working for.

Facts and Figures Because a farmer keeps a herd of dairy cows it does not necessarily follow that each one iu the herd is especially adapted for dairying. The type nnd general appearance may be good, the temperament and disposition may promise fair results, but the real value of each one is to be measured actually and practically by just her Individual yield not the average ot the herd as a whole, at the end of a full season's work. Over and over again when dairy farmers have checked up the production separately ol each cow there have been found wonderful surprises and serious disappointments. Those good lookers have turned out lo be poor producers; (lie despised cow of insignificant appearance has often proved a splendid moneymaker when her moderate cost of feed bas been deducted from the large total yield of milk and fat. Some cow testing figures recorded by the dairy division at Ottawa, show great contrasts. For Instance, two cows yielding the Bame weight of milk may differ in profit by $25.00. The aged cow may do far better than the five-,-jar-old. Two mature cows In the same herd have been known to differ in production by eight thousand pounds ot milk. One herd of twelve cows last year gave thirl}-six tons of milk more than another herd of twelve. How are these vital points to be definitely ascertained by the practical dairyman? Such facts are brought to light when figures are used. It Is just as simple as A. B.C. Keep records of individual production; it takes scarcely ten minutes per cow per month, and i.buiulanlly pays every dairyman. Mlnard's Liniment Cures Distemper Nero's Golden House Dr. Fritz Weege, a young German archaeologist, drew altentiou to the enormous palace that was ouce erected by Nero In Home. The Italian government, in consequence, instituted the very Interesting excavations that are now being made lu what ls called 'The Golden House.' This Immense palace covered an acre of ground and was about three times the size ot lhe present Vatican. The Golden House, which extended from the Palatine far up the Esqulllne, was erected after the burning of Rome in 64. The building was afterwards converted by Nero's successors into other edifices.

Inking out a letter, read it hastily ant* bunded It to the cnptnln. It was as follows: Mr. Jenkins, I am employed In the packing room of the house of Do Four Freres. 1 am a member ot an anarchist circle and have been ordered to pack an Infernal machine In a box to be shipped to Amerl- j rn.

There Is no necessity to aend such valuable property to the bottom. In tbe first place, aa you already know, the machine Is set to go off lu four days from the date It was packed. It was packed the day we sailed; therefore It will not explode till we are near the American coast. I'm not sure it will explode ut all.

This Isn't the first time he's caused mo trouble by his pranks." "Whnt do you propose'/" asked the ciipiniii. "It you think the mutter a hoax you'd bettor open tbe box and And out whether It Is or not." "And blow up your ship ns well as myself If It's a reol Infernal machine?" The caplnln evidently had not (bought of that. He looked confused, i "I tell you what you do, captain," continued Jenkins. "Tow It." Tho cnptnln looked relieved. He told tho purser lo tnke down n list of the articles In the box from the owner. wllh tbelr values, so that in case tbe box were lost thu amount of claim would be limited. Rut he did not want to have this done before getting rid of the box. He directed one of the crew to carry It to the upper deck, where the lifeboats were swung on the davits, aud put It In one of the lockers Intended for provisions, wedging It so that It would not. slido about with the motion of the waves. This wns done. The boat was lowered, a cable attached to her bow, and she was suffered to drift a hundred yards nstern. While this wns b*lng done the captain gave orders that what wns In the boat, or rather what was supposed to be in tbe boat, be confined to those who were In the baggage room when tbe matter was discussed. He did not consider that n bomb n hundred yards sway from the ship could endanger her. The Tartaric sighted Fire Island on the fourth duy out. She was twelve knots east of Montuuk point Just before daylight on tbe morning of Ihe fifth day. A mnn stood on the nfter deck of tbe ship, where tlio cable thnt lowed the lifeboat was attached. Ho tied loosely to tbe rope n pair of ours, which drifted bnck to the lifeboat. Then he fixed to the rope n clutch .with bundles like those ot a pale of tinner's shears. Grasping the bandies, he swung him. self off the stern nud let himself down slowly till be reached tbe water. Tbe pressure against him exerted by tbe headway of tbo ship was so great tbat he would net have been able to maintain his hold had it not been for this clutch. Ily Its use he let himself be 6lowly forced backward (ill he reached the lifeboat nnd pulled himself up by the cable ou to Its bow. Once In the boat be cast an eye to the westward, where nhoue a light, which he recognized ns one on Montuuk point. Taking from the bow the oars bo bad sent before him, he put them In the boat. Then he enst off nnd wns left astern. As the dark body of tho Tartaric greyr darker In the distance ho smiled and raised bis bnt to her. "Goodby. my friends," he snld. "I think I can now get on without your valuable assistance." Taking tho box from Ibo locker iu which It had been placed, he ripped It open with a screwdriver he drew from his pocket, took out a clock, which he (brew overboard, nnd a small package, which he concealed In a pocket of his flannel shirt. Then, beginning to shiver with the cold, he took up the oars and pulled for tbe light ou Montuuk point. By this time n streak of gray light ippcared In the cast end, In due time Ibe sun cnino up, but the mau in the boat did not need Its wnrinlh to dry Ills clothes, for the taent of his body, kept up by the exercise of rowing, hnd llrondy doue that. He was making (loW progress, for one man pulling on So large a boat could not move it rapidly. However, by 0 o'clock In the morning ho was but half n dozen Silles from the Long Island coast, nnd, a motor- iioat passing bim, he made a bargain with lhe mau running ber to take htm ���shore, Once on term flrma, leaving bis boat hauled up on a bench, he started Inland till he came to a town, where ho hired n horse and buggy to carry blm lo the northern coast of the Island. There he chartered a motorboat to take him across the sound to Saybrook, where he boarded n Long Island east- bound train for Boston. Arriving there In the nflernoon, he purchased slothing and, dropping into n diamond dealer's, took from his pocket the package he hnd taken from the box supposed to contain the Infernnl machine, unrolled It and displayed n dozen enor mous diamonds. Berore leaving me shop he sold a number of tbem to the denier and early tbe next morning parted with tbe rest of his stock, realising n handsome profit between what the stones had originally cost him at the diamond mines and what he received for them. He hud reached the end ot u series of brilliant Impostures ! to defraud the customs. I On the morulng of tbe day the Tartaric arrived In port nn officer announced to the cnptnln thnt the llfe- ! boat astern wns missing. Tbe captain, surprised, nsked If tbe owner of the box had been notified, and, on being told that he had not.^a steward was sent to find him. Later tho messenger returned to sny thnt Mr. Jenkins wns missing. The cnptnln looked astonished; (hen ii light broke In upon his brain. "A smuggling dodge!" he exclaimed. 'Keep It from the inspectors." Before (be Turtnrlc sailed again her cnptnln hnd been notified thnt a lifeboat wllh his ship's name on tho bow wns lying on a bench on the enstern end of Long Island. He gave orders to have It shipped by wnter to New York, bnt nsked no questions as to how It tnmo there.

Tbey will be accessible for inspection and repair only at long Intervals.

Ttieso Interior surfaces, which have a total superficial urea, Including sllffenors, etc, of over 3,000,000 square feet, will be accessible with difficulty, and repainting will be effected only at great expense nnd Inconvenience. It is doubtful If, in the present state of knowledge of the art, II. will be possible to prevent wasting nway by corrosion ot this steel, except nt the expense or comparatively frequent repainting.

A striking story of tho courage and self sacrifice of which the American Indian nt his best is capable Is given by 0. n. Mills lu tbo Des Moines Register aud Leader. It wns told to trU white men by the famous Sac chief, Black Hawk, who himself saw the Incident. It ull began wltb nn unfortunate quarrel between an Iowti und a Mus- quaklc, In which the latter killed tbe former and then In a moment of freu- r.y scalped his victim. Tbo two tribes were at pence, and this act, allowable only iu lime of war, wns, lu Indian eyes, an Intolerable breach of good faith. The Mnsqunklcs offered nil sorts ot reparation, but tho lowits would accept nothing but lhe person of the of- fender, to be tortured aud put to death In propitiation of tho outraged spirit of the dead mnn. To this the Mnsqua- kles agreed on condition that the culprit bo given a month to fortify himself for his terrible ordeal. But Just as the month wns nbout to expire be fell 111 with a raging fever. In that condition he could not be carried ucrosi tbe prairie, hut a failure to produce bim nt the appointed place would arouse the suspicious and perhaps the hostility of the Iowas. A council was called to debate th, matter, before which appeared Cono, l brother of tho sick man. "There are no squaw men In our fnmlly," be declared. "I will go In his place." Tbe others tried to dissuade him and described to him the tortures he would bare to undergo, but he Insisted upon making the sucrlllco. Accordingly an escort wns selected to accompany blm, at the head of which Black Hawk, then n young but widely respected chief, wns placed. "I never saw a more pathettiNscone." said Black Hawk, "than the parting ot Cono and his father aud mother and other relatives. The whole tribe waa overwhelmed with gloom." In the middle of the afternoon the party arrived at the Iowas' villngei Cono bad asked that bis Identity should not be disclosed, but one of the towns who was present at tho time the young Indian wns slain saw that the guilty party was not being delivered, and Black Hawk told Ibo whole story. Tbe Iowas accepted It ns true nnd. after a brief council, consented to the arrangement The death circle wns staked out and patrolled with armed guards, and Cono was placed In Its center, while bis escort was entertained lu the tepee of the chief. It wns a chill Novembel day, and the sun was just sinking behind the cliffs of tbe Des Moines rivet. .when the escort left the camp. They paused on a hill about a hall mile distant from tbe camp. Tbey could see that the fires had becu lighted round the death circle, and lu the bush of the evening came the plaintive Bound of Cono chanting his death song, Having traveled some two hours, they halted and mnde camp. About midnight they heard tbe clatter ot horses' feet, and In a moment more t single horseman rode up. It wns Cono! This was his remarkable story: The fires of tho dentb circle were burning brightly, nud the eqmtws with their burning sticks were preparing t�� make the first attempt to extort a cry of pain aud agony, when an old man, the father of tbe dead Indian, raised bis voice: "Stop!" bo said. "Let me speak. I am the oue thnt bas suffered. My son was killed and scalped by n Mnsqua- kle. I wns hungry for revenge, aud were the oue that killed and scalped him here I would shout wltb joy .at bis torture. But Ihls young mnn Is brave. Never have I seen such bravery before. lie Is too good n man to torture and kill. Release htm aud let blm return to his own people." Although the entire village a few hours before bad been eager for revenge, there was a murmur of approval as the old man gathered his blanket about bim and took bis sent Without any one's making a single objection, Cono was removed from the circle and given food and drink. A few noun later he was led from tbe camp, allowed to mount his own pony and depaif lu pence. The Oldest Almanac.

The Ga'tnboa dyke in the Panama canal was blown up on Friday afternoon by President Wilson pressing a button in the White House, in Washington.

Dingiuan, manager of the Calgary Petroleum Products Company, that the strike was of much more consequence than was first given out and that oil exists in commercial quantities. The oil is a very high quality, running as high as 75 per cent, gasoline. More than one hundred men are waiting to file claims to-day. It is possible that only one or two claims will be open to entry. A stiff trade is being driven in options on leaseholders and hundreds of deals have been made. The quality of the oil was, demonstrated when an automobile tank was filled at the well and the machine driven to the city, a distance of thirty miles, on the power furnished by the raw product.

' - A News item has been going the rouhds of the press declaring that Kaiser William has invested quite extensively in real estate in British Columbia, and it is intimated that this investment has been accompanied by similar investments on the part of other Germans who have money to invest. It is claimed that these purchases are the result of the observations of Count von Alven- sleben who his become convinced that Canada offers magnificent possibilities for profitable real estate , speculation. Whether the facts are as stated we have no means of discovering, but if they are they but call attention to anevihfrom which Canada has suffered ^nuch in the past, and which is still "possible under our laws, but over which we certainly have small reason to congratulate oruselves. The speculative purchase and holding of real estate in Canada, particularly by non-residents has been a deadweight upon the progress in many sections, and it is this, which more than anything else, probably, has been instrumental the demand for the single tax, The Saskatchewan Government has passed a bill which comes into eff:ct in 1914. imposinn a considerable surtax upon uncultivated land or land held by speculators, We think such a mesaure especially if the tax be sufficiently high, would prove beneficial in every province. It is not the cultivated, but the uncultivated and idle 1 land which should bear the heaviest burden. CHURCH NOTES St, Peters Church Comox Oct. I2th.

By Morice Gerard (Copyright) (Continued) Muller, seeing there was no alter Dative, produced the key from a secret pocket deftly concealed beneath the braid of his coat. Reluctantly lie opened the dispatch-box. As he did so, Murgatroyd noticed that he was holding his left hand in a suspicious manner. There was the point of a small nnd a very sharp stiletto sticking out from 11, which hai doubtless lain in his pocket with the key. The journalist had no Intention of feeling the point of that death-dealing little Instrument. He sharply struck with his fist on the back of Muller's left hand. The stiletto dropped. Murgatroyd put his foot on It. Muller turned and glared at him, as If about to renew the personal conflict. Murgatroyd was quite composed . I will keep that for my own, hi snld. It will be an appropriate re- Blinder of you. Muller muttered a German oath between his teeth. Then ho opened Uie dlspntch box more rapidly. His last bolt had been shct���unsuccessfully. The box was full cf papers; at the bottom of which were 'he Transalplan documents. Muller handed them over without a word. Murgatroyd looked them through and saw they were correct. A feeling of Intense satisfaction took the place of the anxiety and suspense of the past few weeks. Muller read It and cursed again���more Kijdly. It recalled Murgatroyd to the res*, o" the transaction not yet completed. The other papers must be burnt. Not all of them? Some of them are private to myself. How can 1 tell whether you are burning all or not? Either I must look them all through and choose or you must burn the lot. Muller hesitated for a minute or two. Then he threw all the contents of the dispatch box Into the Are, stirring them with a poker while they blazed. Murgatroyd watching them, came to the conclusion that they were almost all the papers Jordan had described. When only a few ashes remained, Murgatroyd said��� Now write tho address you wish these papers lo bo sent to, Indicating tho ones he held In his hand. Muller wrote down the address of a Made Soft andWhite a. iiii id Ointment Treatment: On retiring, soak the hands in hot water and Cuticura Soap, ftry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment^ and wear soft bandages or old loose gloves during the night.

CHAPTER XI1I Thompson-Halllday A dinner pnrty consisting of men only is not generally a very lively affair, fT itB a rule It means nn object In view, although of course there aro brilliant, exceptions. Parliamentary dinners before the meeting of the Houses arc not exceptions to the rule. Uniformity, not diversity Is the bond which brings and keeps the company together, whether to attack or to defend. Mr. Thompson-Halllday, not being as yet of Cabinet or ex-Cabinet rank, or a prominent official, was receiving his friends In Eaton Gardens. Covers had been laid for twenty, and It was not until cigars and coffee had circulated that tongues began to wag freely, and the restraints of a function recognized In England as of solemn moment began to wear off. Mr. Thompson-Halllday was a short, stout mnn, well on the shady side of forty, to whom sudden opulence had given a snobbish air of self- satisfaction, which he would have lacked under more trying conditions. Good living had also begun to twinkle out of his Btnall, quick, glancing eyes, and to indicate itself In his face generally. All his guests were brother members of the Commons' House of Parliament, In sympathy generally with his views, although not all sitting on the same side of the House. A Government generally has to face beside the legitimate Opposition, whose main duty Is to oppose, the candid criticism, and often the barely- concealed hostility of sections of Its own suppoi.erB, whose fads have been neglected, or whose private ambitions have been thwarted. Mr. Thompsci- Halllday had a certain skill In amalgamating apparently discordant elements, and using the result to serve his own ends. He gave excellent dinners in London; he kept open house in the country, and his great wealth permitted a somewhat lavish expenditure In assisting members in contesting constituencies, who would have gone un.'.er but for bis opportune help. Pocket boroughs disappeared with the Reform Bill, but the machinery for influencing votes and opinions in the House of Commons is In full working order still. Mr. Thompson- Halllday had carried the art of Influence to a high pitch of excellence. He knew to a nicety where the shoe pinched, and hastened to relieve it; many members owed their seats to his timely assistance. He gave them absolute freedom, but with the understanding that when he required their assistance it should be forthcoming. These were not the men he had been dining. They were his equals in money and position���In the latter at any rate���but for all that were not Insensible to the argument of first-rate cookery, and a cellar of wine inherited by their host, and selected with consummate skill.. Well, Halliday, what ls to be the outcome of this Transalplan affair? Are you to lead .the van of opposition? It will take all the tact yon have go*, to make your side appear patriotic. Tho speaker wns Mr. Henry Mason, a thin man who sat on the Govern inent side, but frequently voted with the Opposition. Y'our side! Our aide, you mean Mason, put in Halliday quickly. I know you agree with mo that the Government has put Its foot In it this time. In fact it hasn't a leg to st-iid on, to complete the metaphor, suggested Mor- rlarty, an Irishman who sat for an English constituency. Quite so. Firing won't do this time; we must have something more drastic. All the same, the country will look at the whole affair suspiciously. The average Briton thinks his country always and Inevitably In the right. Especially when a few Blices of land are In dispute. I. have a very strong case, remarked Thompson-Halladay with assurance, and the Government a very weak one. I am not afraid of the country Land-grabbing more often than not means burnt fingers, snd to my thinking the nation is sick of these trumpery disputes. I know my constituents are at the back of me In the matter. This Transalplan claim Ib sheer Injustice. If tbey could pro/e we ever had an acre of land within tbo GILLETT'S LYE EATS DIRT 1 "HIll'tu CKa.ag.iu4i waituM *"" sphere In dispute, It. would be different; but they can't, simply because wo never had space to bury a full- grown Infant. What makes you so sure of Hint. Halliday? The speaker hud nol Joined In the conversation before. Hanley Ib not tho mnn I should have thought to put Ills foot down unless he knew tho ground oh which he stood. Hanley! You nil lalli Hanley! i tell you it's all manner wllh lilin, that confounded air of superior knowledge and concentrated wisdom. Ho is cautious enough, I grant ynu, but not farseclng; and caution which is a cheap sort of political wisdom, fulls where largo issues are at stake. Besides, this matter wanted a retained lawyer, and every one knows Hanley Is not that, anyway. Halliday talks ns If he were Lord Chancellor, laughed Morrlarty. Who coached you In your law? A belter man than coached Hanley, anyway. What do you propose? inquired Mason. These are the terms of lhe Amendment, and Halliday handed a paper across the table. Tho Opposition leaders have approved the wording and the party will support It. to a man. We are sure of some support ���unless Hanley makes out a bettor case than I credit him with���a good deal of support ou the Government side- (To be Continued) MORE WOMEN THAN MEN Mlnard's Liniment Cures Garget In Cows The lady litigant had paid out good money to clerks and bailiffs till she was nervous about It. Who Is that? she whispered to her lawyer as a new functionary put in an appearance. That? that's the crier, the lawyer replied. Goodness! ^an't I do my own crying and save her? The cheapness of Mother Graves' Worm Exterminator puts It within reach of all, and it can bo got at any druggist's. The mayor of a French tovn had. In accordance with the regulations, to make out a passport for a ricl'i and highly respectable lady of his acquaintance, who, In spite ot a slight disfigurement, was very vain i:i her personal appearance. Mis native politeness prompted him to gloss over the defect, and after a moment's reflection he wrote among the items of personal description: Eyes dark, beautiful, tender, expressive, but one of them missing. AN OLD NURCE Persuaded Lioctor to Drink Postuir They Throw Off Disease More Easily, That's the Reason The fact '.hat in almost all civilized countries women outnumber men hns lieen ascribed to the higher birth rata of girl babies yet Statistics show that 10f> boys are born to every 100 girls.

An old faithful nurse and an experienced doctor, are a pretty strong combination in favor of PoBtum, instead of tea and coffee. The doctor Bald: "I began to drink Postum five years ago on tlie advlco of an old nurse. "During an unusually busy winter, between tea, coffee and overwork, I became a victim of Insomnia.

"Having a little tendency to Diabetes, I used a small quantity of saccharine instead of sugar, to sweeten with. I may add that today tea or coffee are never present in our house and very many patients, on my advice, have adopted Postum as their regular beverage. "Ih conclusion I can assure anyone that, as a refreshing, nourishing and nerve-strengthening beverage, there is nothing equal to Postum." Name given by Canadian 1 Jstum Co. Windsor, Ont. Write for booklet, "The road to Wellville." Postum comes in two forms. Regular (must be boiled). Instant Postum doesn't require boiling but is prepared Instantly iy stirring a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which makes It rlgit for most persons.

U. 964 Kings as Ornaments When European democracy continues its process of relegating to the position of spectacular ornaments Its crowned heads, Interest In the. personalities of these picturesque Individuals continues to be one of the features of tho social order today, particularly on the continent. The modem monarch has come, more and more, to stund merely as the symbol of the continuity of national life, the emblem ot tlie people's distinctive nationality and sovereignty. Kven if, in a few scattered Instances, he pretends to regard himself as ruler by divine ught, his people ro longer look upon him as such. iivca V. e great, Hohenzollern, William II, l.as recently publicly Insisted I tat. his sole object as monarch has been, and will continue to be, not thi glorification of his dynasty, but the welfare of the German people.

Extre.ne Old Age Records The recent death of a Chinaman in New York at the age, as he claimed, of 149 years, raises the question whether the records of extreme old age are authentic. The cases In which men or women have reached the cencury mark are so numerous that there seems lo reason for skepticism concerning them; but the records of Thomas Cam, aged 207; William Edwards, 168, and Henry Jenkins, 169, are open to the doubt that falls ou all mediaeval statistics.

She'd make a splendid housewife. I know all that, but��� She's a delightful hostess. You've seen her vhen she was entertaining friends. I admit that. Then why wait, any' linger?

COLLEGE RE-OPENS OCTOBER 1st, 1913 N, B.���Calendar on application E. A. A, GRANGE, V. S,, M. Sc, Principal There Is a young mau 'in New York who Is undoubtedly still wondering whether he has an unusually large foot or whether a certain German lad of generous dimensions fron Jersey Is troubled with near-sightedness. The woman In question boarded a New York bound ferry boat with a big heavy valise. Apparently very much fatigued from her efforts, she threw herself into a seat, landing her bulky grip squarely upon the toes of a young man next to her. He responded with a look of suppressed rage and pain, and then shoved the valise aside, unnoticed by the woman. A few minutes later, when the ferry reached its slip, the young man was suddenly amazed to behold the stout lady fumbling about with her hand on his foot. Thoroughly aroused at this liberty, he was nbout to demand an explanation, when tho woman, with a look of great embarrassment, exclaimed: Ach! Excoose me, It looke'. chust like mine bag. I a ' .

The report ls presented under five general heads as follows: 1, General remarks; 2, Arts and Agriculture; 3, Patents of Invention; 4, Copyrights, Trade Marks, Industrial Designs and Timber Marks; 5, 1 ubllc Health. There is also include . an appendix having reference to Public Health, Exhibition and the Seventh International Congress held at Home against Tuber, culosls, Referring tc ihe trade In dairy products It Is pointed out that for the Art time in sixty years no butter was exported to the United Kingdom, but on the other hand more than six and one-half million pounds were Imported Into Canada during the year. In the Seed Branch among other work almost nineteen thousand samples of farm seeds were tested for farmers and seed merchants. The Live Stock Commissioner by means of public Bales distributed upwards of 1,300 breeding sheep, about one-third of which were pure-bred rams. In the record of performance about ono thousand cows have been entered for test. These represent stock of about 150 farms. Through the Experimental Farms system which includes the Central Farm and fifteen branch farms and stations an enormous amount of work has been done. The report not only gives one a general knowledge of its extent but brings to light many ac complishmenta for agriculture. In Saskatchewan, It ls pointed out that the spring wheat 'Marquis' yielded at the rate of 31 bushels per acre. The still newer Prelude wheat which rip ens muc',\ earlier than other good sorts was sent out for test during the year. A much larger quantity is promised for distribution during the coming winter. Many other useful points are recorded in the minister's report, copies of which are available to those who apply for It to the Publication Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. It is usually safe to say that when a child is pale, sickly, peevish and restlesB, the cause is worms. These parasites range the stomach and intestines causing serious disorders of the digestion and preventing the infant from deriving sustenance from food. Miller's Worm Powders, by destroying the worms, corrects these faults of the digestion and serves to restore the organs to healthy action. A young woman from the east was conversing with a Kentuckian about tobacco and tobacco raising. She was very pretty and a good conversationalist and the young man from Kentucky was vastly Interested in her until she gave him a sudden shock by announcing: I should love to see a tobacco field, especially when It Is just plugging out.

As an Illustration, you may read the following, which was received i few days ago: Mrs. John Wright, 53 McGee stre"t, Toronto, Out., states: "We have used Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills for ten years, and would not be without them. My husband suffered from kidney trouble, and after taking treatment, from several doctors without receiving any benefit, tried Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills, which worked a completa cure.

Among the bewildered, and in some cases indignant, spectators gathered at the recent Futurist exhibition of painting and sculpture in Chicago was a young man from Springfield, in charge of a cousin who Is 'strong for" the new movement In art. The youth remained silent durim? the view and the subsequent explanations ot the new Idea given him by his cousin. Well, said the latter finally, you don't seem particularly enthusiastic about them.

For dining room embroideries, rich colors used on grey linen, or shades of blue on white, will be found exceedingly satisfactory. The best appetizer is a clear, hot soup, consomme or meat broth. Alternatives are clam broth or grape fruit. Cut white potatoes into small squares, and stick one on the end of each stem, if you want cut flowers or ferns to last a longtime. Of course, this is supposing that the decorations must last a long while. Notice Missrs. E. T. Cliffe aud W. B.

B, Higgins Household Hints Have the walls of your house a pleasant, restful tone, and you enn do without pictures. In storing fruits and vegetables for winter, only sound and mature specimens should be used. Whole wheat bread sandwiches with filling of sliced bananas and nut meats, is a delicious luncheon. Take an hour off and spend it with an oil can in your hand, touching up the stiff castors, hinges, etc. To keep a door mat in position, hook it down, the hooks being on the floor and the brass rings on the mat. Tart salads, deviled eggs, sardines and chopped raw cabbage all help to make pickles unnecessary in a child's ditt. To keep fhe carpet sweeper pulleys from slipping after thev have worn smooth, wrap tbem with adhesive tape. To protect small articles spread to bleach on the grass, cover them with cheesecloth, fastened down with wooden pegs. A good thin broth may be made of the water in which cabbage is boiled, if milk, butter and thickening are added to it. Grey green is a good color for a nursery wall.
