This can lie daslly dune, for the areas suitable have as yet only been touched.

The wheat fields of tho Dalrotas and Manitoba will nip^t as one of their competitors in feeding the world, tho banana plantations of tho American Mediterranean, An immediate consequence of the development of the direct trade with Europe, now just beginning is to threaten tlio supremacy of Hie Unit- oil States in some of the Central American markets. People buy their g'oods, other tilings being equal, in tho countries whero their own products find ihelr best sale. If improved transportation facilities for tlio banana trade develop between the Caribbean and European pons, it is but natural that European manufactured goods will he carried on the return voyage. Ono of tlio most important and from our past experience, let us remember, one of the most, delicate problems with which our men of state have to deal, Is the diplomacy of the Caribbean. Minard's Liniment for sale everywhere A Speaking Clock A speaking clock has just been shown in Berlin, says The Hamburger Nachrlohten. At every quarter there comes from the inside a voice which calls out tho time clearly and distinctly: Three o'clock; A quarter- past three; Hati-past three; and so on. Possessed of such a clock, we could possibly peacefully bury ourselves in our work without, any fear of missing an important engagement. We could surrender ourselves to the joys of sport or talk, when every quarter of an hour we are reminded by tlie warning voice. In the morning we need not. worry over an alarm; the voice of the clock, which we can make quid; or slow at pleasure, will do the waking. If we don't want to hoar the voice of conscience, we need only switch off the machinery. The invention is due to th idea of a Berlin man, named Selen, whose idea was carried into practice after long wrestling with difficulties by a man named Max MarkuB. It may prove useful lo astronomers, and with a slight change in its working it could bo made lo call out the i aines of tlie stations in our railway carriages.

Bolb havo been tbe scene of many a story, real and fictitious; both bave attracted vlsilors from ill parts of Iho world. The beauty ot the former bursts upon one at once; that of Iho latter Ih of slow growth, Co mo is always much (ho same; the buy of Naples is ever changing, Sorrento, overlooking this beautiful ] buy. Is built on u circular ledgo ot rocks lonie three buuilrod feet high, follow- Ing Uio.curvaluro of tho shore. There ' ire hotels ami villas fronting tho waler, j ionic of thorn bllllt In lhe renter of or- ��� ngo groves, line morning n goutle- inan otnoi'ged from one of these hotels, iiiunlorcd down a wall?, plucking an nriingu liy tho way, and at the end itood upon a iniirblo balcony looking sown upon the waves far below, yachts anil OshlUg boats were rocking on Iho surface, and from the island of Capri n liltlo Btontner was bounding slung toward Sorrento, A young ludy hnd set up an easel ou tho balcony and was attempting to transfer tbe scene to canvas. The gentleman paused a short distance behind her and looked at her work. Conscious of liis presence, she turned. "Pardon me, slgnoi'ina," ho said lu Italian and was about to walk on when slio said In English: "l don't understand Italian." "Ab, you are au American, I pel folijel" "Wby not English''" "Wo Americans are easily distinguished from tho English by our accent. Fermi t mo to compliment you on the way you are getting on with your picture." "1 am not gelling on at all." "You have sketched your outline very well." "But how shall I get that deep blue of the water, how tbat delicate veil of mist that bangs over Capri and almost hides Iscbla farther on?" "Your work will bo tbe more difficult because you cannot get the same scene on two consecutive days. Tomorrow the water will be perhaps a pale green, tben a light instead of a dark blue, as it Is today. Quite likely even by noon we shall havo Iscbia resting on n sea ot quicksilver." The girl leaned back in her cbalr discouraged. "I would advise you to put In such purls as will not change, then select i certain coloring to transfer to your canvas. If you can get it ln before It changes, bo It so; if not you must get in as much as you can, then wait till the same conditions come again." "Exactly tbe same conditions will never come again." "Yon aro right. But you don't need lo copy. An artist doesn't do that He takes a landscape, a model, any subject you like, and Idealizes tt Bis Intention Is not to get something better than the original, but something belter than tbe result of an attempt to transfer the original to canvas." "If I could only get a tithe of what we see before us on the canvas I should bo satisfied." "Are you an amateur or a professional?" "1 simply desire to make a picture to tell on my return to America to help out the expense of my trip abroad." "Well, don't be discouraged. With jour permission I will criticise yonr work as you proceed. I am a professional critic and may help you." "Thank you very much; but I doubt If I can produce anything worthy of your criticism." Acquaintances are formed very easily between tourists, especially where they are fellow countrymen, and Edward Mlnard Improved upon this beginning to become quite friendly with Lucia Gilford. True to blspromlso, he coached her ln her effort to transcribe some of the various phases tbat the bay of Naples takes on. From the window ot bis room be could look out upon It, and often when it assumed Ibe conditions sbe wns trying to get be would send ber word, and she would burry to the balcony to take advantage of die .situation. At times she would rest from ber work by riding out on the road winding up tbo heights lying Boulbwest of (he town. At others sbe would stroll witli friends among the shops picking up bargains in lace or silks. Oeca- ilonally on returning from some of ibese trips lier work would look better to her than when she had left it Klinard told her tbat this was because oefore going out she saw It through tired eyes. When she came In she ���aw It through rested eyes. But she n��ti"oo tne greatest improvement on her return after a couple of days' absence while on n visit to l'aestum. It seemed to her on tlrst viewing ber pic- lure after her arrival that she had done far better tban she bad supposed In gelling that misty effect of the atmosphere, that cerulean blue of the water. Moreover, she was gradually gelling on to the canvas not any of Iho conditions she bad seen, but something conceived, something more capable of being represented In point. Bhe asked Mlnard how she could bave done It, and be told her that It was ouvt accident and part her own artistic invention, woiign tne rormer count tot exist without the latter. Miss Gilford, as ull sojourners al Sorrento do, ma do many excursions, and whenever she returned she invariably saw her work through new r.ves. She was very much encouraged, even delighted. Hut when she stop ped to consider tho matter she concluded that her Improvement must be due to Iho criticisms passed upon bet work by Mlnard. "There mny bo artistic ability in me," sbe said to him, "but it would never come out without your drawing it nut" At lust the painting was tltiishcd, and Miss Gilford took ber departure foi Naples. Mjrinrd advised her to offei ber picture in ltome when sho arrived there rather for the purpose of dls> playing than selling It, for tho chief purchasers of pictures In Italy are Americans, and Iliey usually buy thosi which bear tho names ot artists wh�� have made a name. Mlnard Joined her In Naples, where Instead of pninting they visited the burled cities of l'ompell and Ucrcu- laneum together and the gallery where In are deposited so many art treasure! found under tbo ashes thrown ovci them 2,000 years before by Vesuvius. Miss Glfford preceded ber new found friend to Rome, and before her departure he kindly offered to pack hei painting for her. Sbe kindly accepted his offer, and when ho returned It to her properly boxed he gavo her tb�� name of a dealer in ltome, with whom ho advised her to leave it on exhibition, And so it was that the accidental meeting of theso two persons at Sor- reuto was renewed at Naples, and since travelers from tbe south of Italy must go north it was likely that they might meet all the way up to Milan. And at every parting it was evident that tbe next meeting would be more cordial. When Miss Gilford reached Rom�� she called ou the dealer, and he sent to her hotel for the picture. Soon aftei this when sho saw it framed she was- astonished at tho remarkable change tho framing had produced ln it II was the same scene, but under the influence ot the surrounding gilt it wai simply beautiful. It seemed to re quire the illuminating properties to bring out the colors. Tbe next time she went into the shop the dealer informed ber that hel painting was sold. "Soldi" she exclaimed. "Yes, signoriua. You directed me tc sell It did you not? It has not yet been removed. If there is any mistake please let me know it at once. In case of a picture like that 1 don't wish to make a blunder." "How much did it bring?" asked the artist, aghast "Forty-five hundred francs." "Forty-five hundred francs!" "Yes, slgnorina. Aro you disappointed?" "How did you get so much for It?" "Tbe artist is a rising young American who is making a, name " "What name?" "B. Mlnard." "Minnrdl" "Yes, slgnorina. The signature if genuine, isn't it?" Miss Glfford stood mute for a few moments, staring at the dealer, then told him to let ber see tbe picture He took her to his packing room and showed it to her, putting bis finger on the namo ln the tower left hand corner, E.

There was disappointment that she had not proved herself an artist and pleasure that her friend bad Imposed upon her to ber advantage, for sbe saw that be had substituted liis own picture for hers. There was another emotion moro in evidence than either of tho other two. Surely a man who would do such a thing for a woman must bare for ber more tban a friendly Interest "Is It all right, slgnorina?" asked tbe dealer. "All right? Oh, ye*, of course, it's all right" "I will give you tbe money less the commission." "Certainly." Miss Glfford look the bills be banded ber and left the shop. Mlnard had given her bis address In Home and bad asked her to send blm her card on her arrival. Sho sent it nt once, and tlie same evening ho called upon ber. "Mr. Mlnard, why did you impose upon uie?" "How Impose upon you?" he asked (haraefnerdly. "About the picture." TeTilon me." hanging Hs head. "How did you manage It?" "Well, when you went out to drive or lo walk or on excursions wbile at Sor- ;ento I feed the maid to bring mo your ik-itre and improved it > bit Meanwhile I was painting the same scene myself.

Holmes Newcombe, ol the Government fisheries cruiser Wm. Jolliffe, spent, a recent Sunday morning in May in capturing the Beattie iisliing boat, Valiant, instead of going to church as n good skipper ought to do, lie sealed the burden of hatred that the Seattle flailing fraternity have tor his trim, staunch, and poweiiul craft. Ho was quietly nosing his craft around a point near Triangle Is. land off tho northwest coast of Vancouver Island when the chase begun, which ended in the swift Seattle ashing boat being taken Into Vane-olivet at the end ot the Wm. Jollifie's tow- line. The Wm. Jolliffe is one of the most famous tug boats in maritime annul?. Twenty-five years ago, when she was n new boat, she was the pride of the Mersey. Many ami many a time slv.' left the port of Liverpool loaded tip to the gunwales with coal, bound thousands of miles away on a feat ol deep sea towing. Sometimes it was to bring home a hi? vessel that had been salved in the Indian Ocenn, oi the Southern Pacific Lying low on the water, her big beam and deep draught shows the weight of powerful engines and heavy boiler equipment she carries. Sbe appeared to my nd- ; miring juvenile eye? in those days to I he able to travel as fast with a big sailing ship nt tbo end of her tow-lino as without any drag on her heels. On one memorable occasion she towed n wrecked vessel stern first all the way from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mersey at a speed that was in itself quite a feat. For the last three years the Wm. Jolliffe has been engaged in the fishery protection service on ths Pacific coast, keeping a sharp lookout for poachers. And here is where lb-3 Wm. Jolliffe aroused the animosity ol the Seattle fishermen, who make theii rendezvous off the banks of Vancouvei Island. At the sight of bad weatbe.t the Seattle boats aro wont to run foi shelter to the coves and harbors ol Vancouver Island. Sumo suspicious folk think thew are glad of tbo excuse at times in order to replenish their bait. They ore immune from seizure so long as the weather is too bad to enable them to put to sea. At such a time the Wm. Jolliffe bas a nasty knack of making a trip up and down the west coast, and leading the way out to sea for the assembled craft. If the Jolliffe can put to sea, then they must follow on peril of forfeiture I of tlieir boat and gear. Many and I many is the hot imprecation that i; I hurled at the stout little craft as she sets tho pace fc a game of "follow my leader" out over tho har3 of the west coast harbors. The seizure of the Valiant makes the eleventh American boat to be'captured. When the old Kestrel was in commission she seized the fine new schooner North, on its maiden trip out of Seattle. Under its new name, Alcades, the North now does good service as a revenue cutter out of Nanaimo. Later the Kestrel seized ths Francis Cutting and the Levi Woodbury. The Francis Cutting now plioa as a tug out of Vancouver, but the Woodbury, which was only made to hove to by a couple of rounds from the Kestrel's machine gun, was bought back by her owners. Equipped with wireless telegraphy and powerful gasoline engines the boats of the Seattle fleet managed to keep away from the Kestrel for a long time, but the arrival of H. M. S. Rainbow, with her twenty-knot speed, made things interesting in 1911, when the Kdrie was captured and confiscated. The Government, steamer Newing- ton, a former North Sea trawler, one of the Gamecock fleet which the "mad-dog" Russian fleet fired on in the North Sea, has made three receut captures, namely, the Thelma, the Bonita, and the Active. The Wm. Joliffe had previously captured the Serali. HE 10VES HIS RAILWAY JACOB L. ENGtEHART MAKtdS h HOBBY OF ONTARIO'S ROAD. Bridal Tourists.

Chairman ot tho T. fk N.O. Commission Is a Man ol Big Heart and Brain Who Has Made a Success ol His Own Business and Then Turned to the Public Service- Honored at Elk Lake. When the Elk Lake branch of the l'iniiskumlng & Northern Ontario Railway wus opened recently for i ruffle and the occasion brought together town officials and townspeople, thu mayor of lilk Lake, turning to Mr. Jacob Lewis Knglebart. chairman "f the T. & N. 0, Commission, said; "We are well satislied with what you have d- e, sir, and have nothing more to ask." Small communities are usually large in their demands and their wants are not easily satis- lied. But ibis compliment, unsolicited, of course, but not unmerited, v.*: more substantially expressed when a huge key of native silver was presented to the man who bad labored hard and lung to bring about such u consummation. Mr. Englohart himself ii a striking figure, says H. E. Willtnott in Toronto Star Weekly. See him once and you will always remember the man. Look into that large piercing, black eye, and you will tell hall you know. Listen lo tbe kindly words of advice, be touched with that unfailing courtesy, feel that broad sympathy, and you will realise why men speak so well of him. These characteristics reveal the inherent nature of tho man which prompted a few years ago the beneficial gift of an X-ray outfit to St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, and it was the same generosity that installed a peal of bells in the Anglican Church at Petrolea. Born in Cleveland in 1847, lie started life in a subordinate position iu an oil refinery business, but soon became head of a prosperous Cupid's Headquarters. Judging by her rapidly increasing marriage returns Montreal might fairly bo called tho Canadian headquarters of Cupid. Since 1908, when .1.515 marriages took place in Montreal, to 1911, when the figure bad risen to 5.CI4, tlie increase among all sections of the community has been steadily maintained. As a matter of fact Canada supplies tbe west with a big consignment of brides and bridegrooms and the only regret of her citizens is that some ol the best type of married couples get married in the city, hut never stay. Thousands of white immigrants celebrate their weddings in Montreal, hut they only do it as a convenience. Montreal does not profit hy the result, though doubtless Canada nr. a whole does. Last year the marriage rate in Montreal was 10.72 of the whole popula- i lion; this year it promises to be con- | siderably higher, to that the city will maintain her prominence from Cupid'f uoint of view.

In 1870 be cume j to Canada, then twenty-three yeari | of age, and established the firm of I J. L. Englehart & Co., with offices at London and Hamilton. In 1881 ha went to Petrolea to manage the Imperial Oil Co., with which firm his former interests were incorporated. I He became a naturalized British sub- ; ject. As an employer of labor. Mr. Bngle- I hart enjoys an exemplary reputation. j Never was the profit and loss account of such consequence to him that his i employes suffered. So far ss the ��� handling of oil would permit, the Pe- '; trolea plant waa a model of its kind. A practical form of workmen's compensation was maintained, names of disabled workmen being retained on the payroll for years. In cases where the bread winner of the family died, the pay envelopes went regularly to the widow until the children became i self-supporting. With a consideration I for physical comfort baths were installed at the works for the use of tbe rniploycs on the completion of the day's work. ' At the time Mr. Englehart's name was suggested to Sir James Whitney, lie was not known to the Prime Minister except in name and experience. But once convinced that this was tha man, Sir James lost no time. "Will (���on accept a place on the conimis- lion," was the positive message the . long-distance telephone carried to Petrolea, and back came the answer, j "YeB, if you say so." 8o far all was 1 well. But when the larger responsibility of the chairmanship was sug- jested to Mr. Englehart, it necessitated the Prime Minister's persistent reasoning, that it was in the publio Interest, to over-rule Mr. Englehart'*- I personal objections. ' One day the teacher during recestl told the children tbe story of Clndrclla. j The next day, to test their memory, , sbe asked tbem: "Why did Cinderelln have to leave) tbe ball promptly at 12?"

Grantwick. Nov. 9, 1913. Road Supt. Courtenay, B. C. Dear Sin Having just come into Comox Vallev and bought a Bve-acre farm, upon which I shall have to pay heavy taxes before very long, I think it is up to the Government to do something for me. In the first place I want a new road built from my place to Courtenay at once. The present road takes me at least a quarter of a mile out of my way, which is a great inconvenience. The bridge also near my place seems to be in a very unsafe condition. I was returning the other day from Courtenay, where I had been celebrating my birthday in the usual manner, and as I approached the bridge I distinctly saw it wobble. My wife, who ���weighs 300 lbs., was with me at the time, s6 I sent her over first as a precaution; and it was only when I saw her safe over that I felt safe in crossing it myself. I feel I am only doing my duty by my family in mentioning this. Kindly have it re-built at once. Kindly also have the side-walk extended three miles to my place; and let it be six feet wide and have a hand-rail to it. It is my custom to return home in an intoxicated condition at least once a week, and the present sidewalk is so narrow and precipitous in places that when- diflkulty in getting back on again. I intend building a house on my place, and would be glad to have you come and excavate the basement for me. 1 am willing to let you have the use of my team for $25 a day. I should also be glad to have you repair the gates on my place Owing to their present dilapidated condition, my cow���for I keep a cow��� frequently gets out onto the road, where she is liable to meet with a nasty accident. Only the other day an automobile ran into her. Luckily she is a stoutly built cow, and fortunately escaped injury. As it was, the occupants of the car were killed outright. Next time, however, the results may be very much more serious. I have no particular political tendencies; but I have a vote; and if I do not get justice, you may be sure I shall know how to use it. Moreover, if the worst comes to the worst, I will take the matter up with the Premier himself. For your information I beg to say that my wife is intimately acquainted with the lady who does his wash ing in Victoria; so you will see that I am not without influence in high quarters. Yours expectantly, A. RANCHER P. S. Kindly have these matters attended to next week.

Benzol, which is contained in the naphtha produced by the destructive distillation of coal, from which it is separated by fractional distillation, may yet prove to be a possible substitute for gasoline, owing to a new process of coal distillation, The value of the new system lies in the large increase of yield over the existing coke oven methods of recovery. By the latter, only from I to i 1-2 gallons are recovered from the ton, while by the new method one ton will yield 3 to 10 gallons, or on an average, 5 gallons and at a temperature of only 800 degrees Fahrenheit instead of 2000 degrees, as in the coke-oven process. More interesting still, it has been found that by this process Scotch ' -cannel'' a kind of coal once extensively used in gas works, but now greatly fallen in value, will give, through suitable treatment, as much as 20 gallons of benzol per ton.

CAIRNS & SON Proprietors Courtenay Phone 25 Canada prides itself upon its magnificent wheat, and the fact that the wheat is mostly raised upon cheap prairie land, enables the Canadian grain-grower to sell it at a fair profit and yet compete with with other wheat. And Canada has also large flour mills and magnificent water power which means that the Cauadian miller ought to be able to make the best of flour from our hard wheat, and sell it as cheaply as any flour of like quality. But we are told that the freight rates are high on both land and water and between the Prairie Provinces and Great Britain, which is our chief market for flour. And yet, as the Montreal telegraph points out, "Despite the claim that the freight rates for grain and flour are exobitant, flour and bread made from Canadian wheat sell cheaper in Great Britain than in Canada itself. Actually you can buy Canadian flour in England at a cheaper price than you can buy it in Montreal, the ocean shipping point. To bear this out with a recent instance we give the following prices obtained for flour in three important markets on September 12th of this year the unit of quotation used the Canadian, per barrel of 196 pounds." Grade Winnipeg Montreal London Top #5.00 $5.10 $4.18 Patent 4.80 4.90 4.05 Bakers 4.80 4.10 3.60 Just why the inhabitants of London England, should be able to buy Canadian flour, or flour made from Canadian wheat, cheaper than such flour can be buoght iu Toronto and Winnipeg, naturally puzzles the j Canadian consumer, and sets him I wondering if some remedy cannot be found.

(To be Conc.nued) They Hust' Passengers In lhe land of the Rising Sun there are no specified rules and regulations In regard to managing street cars, and the result is that, the conductors do practically as they [dense with the internal management or the vehicles. To effect, reforms in this connection a crusade has been started In Japan, which is every day gathering in mini- j hers and in importance. It i . declared that. Hie conductors ought lo be forbidden to push passengers into the cars by sheer force. When a ear is full, ii is full and j (here Is no way lo gel into it except j by being rude to those occupying it.

Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. "For four years I shambled about with tho aid of crutches or eane, most of the time unable to dress myself without help. "My feet were greatly swollen, my right arm was shrunken and twisted inward, the fingers of my right hand were clenched and could not. be extended except with great effort and pain, Nothing seemed to give me more than temporary relief. "Now, during all this time and for about :!0 years previously, I drank dally an average of 6 cups of strong coffee���rarely missing a meal. "My wife at last took my case into her twn hands and bought some Postum. She made it according to directions and I liked it fully as well as the best high-grade coffee. "Improvement set in at once. In aboul, 6 months 1 began to work a little, and In less than a year I was very much better, improving rapidly from day to day. I am now in far better health than most men of my years and apparently growing stronger with advancing age. "I am busy every day at some kind of work and am able to keep up witli the procession without a cane.

Compulsory Matrimony The declining marriage rate in so many countries is causing all sorts of suggestions to he made for inducing people to enter the stale of matrimony auch as the taxing of bachelors and conferring social priiileges ou those who have largo families. A month or two ago the rural council of Trim ordered Its bachelors lo marry or quit the municipal cottages. But all these are exceedingly mild measures compared with a proposal which comes from Trieste. The proposal is that all bachelors who have attained their thirtieth year���a time when a mau is at hU prime according to Mahomet ���should be summoned before the Syndicate together with all .-piusters who have read d the age of twenty-five. Then, after- a medical examination, those whom the doctors consider healthy aro to have their -..antes placed in separate urns s.nd drawn two by two.

So much suffering and misery arises from .this ailmeut that one is not long in telling his friends when he has found an actual cure. This accounts for the enormous sales of Dr. Chase's Ointment.

Henry George on Suffrage I am convinced that, we make a great mistake In depriving one sex of voice in .public matters, and that we could in no way increase the attention, the intelligence, and the devotion which may be brought to tho solution of social problems as by enfranchising our women. Even if in a ruder state of society tlie intelligence of one sex suffices for the management of common interests, the vastly mare intricate, more delicate, and more important questions which the progress of civilization makes of public moment, require tlie intelligence of women as of men, and lhat we never can obtain until we interest them in public affairs. And x have come lo believe that very much of the Inattention, the flippancy, th.> want of conscience, which wc see manifested in regard to public mailers of the greatest moment, arlsts from the fact that, wo debar our women from taking their proper part in these matters. Nothing will fully interest men unless It also interests women.
