After viewing all the sights thai could be viewed for nothing, the entire family lined up in front of a large boolb, which advertised In huge letters on the outside: The Grand Elk���The Wonder of tlie World. On a small ledge In front of this booth paced the showman himself, entreating all and sundry to come up and view. Presently his attention was attracted by the little man who gazed earnestly and wistfully at him. 'Ere, you, he called. Ain't yer cumin' up? It's only sixpence. But Ihe little man only shook his head. Can'l he whispered. It would cost me eleven shillings if I did. Yer see there's me ail' my wife and twenty children, What! exclaimed the showman, hoarse with Incredulity, and poinllng to the long line of earnest faces. Are all of Ihem yours? A 110,1 was Ilie little man's sole answer. Good heavens! cried the man of the booth, as be bounded lo its entrance. Don'l yer move, guv'nor. Just slay where y'are.

Waters of Ireland's Greatest Lake Stolen From Public by Lord Deputy's Fraud Dublin, Ireland.���It is a truism Unit only tlie busiest men havi* any limo to spare, and it Is proved again hy the publication ot an elaborate, historical study by T. M. llealy, the famous Irish M.P., who is as entertaining and brilliant with iiis pen as he Is In speech. Mr, llealy was one of tlie counsel tn the case concerning the fishing rights In the witters of l.ough Nengli, decided by the house of lords in favor of Lord Donegall in 1011, and his book "Stolen Waters," is a careful examination of tbe evidence on which thai decision was based, Tho story begins 800 years aRo, when James I waa king, and Sir Arthur Cblches'er, aveslo "f Lor I Hone- gall, wns lord deputy of Ireland, King ���lames persuaded the corporation of London lo plant certain territories iu Ulster. They spent some $800,000 and they were promised In return land in Derry un d the fishing of Lough Foylo and the rl\\ Hiinu. According lo Mr. llealy, the Londoners were defrauded ot Ihelr rights In Ilie Hann, which with Lough Neagh, fro which the river issues, was appropriated by Chichester by letters patent, sealed bv the lord deputy In bis own fu\\ or without"the consent or knowledge of the king. Strafford, an honest man and always jealous for the rights of the crown, compelled Chichester's heir lo restore the slolen waters (the phrase ls, of course, Mr. Healy'S) bul after the Restoration tbey again reverted lo the family. For generations, Mr, llealy tells us, tho patent privileges were unasserted as far hb Lough Neagh was concerned. In 3878, Indeed, the house of lords upheld the public, right to fish, but this decision was reversed two years ago. The embargo on Lough Neagh deprives the public of the profit of their greatest lake, In behoof of private Individuals. To toil one's daily bread In a perilous and precarious calling Is no enviable birthright. Since the world was young Ihls craft has been freely piled by the longshoremen of Lough Neagh. The right to exercise It. they defended at the Seats of the Mighty, only to find that the law rejected their claim to earn a livelihood. To be bereft of one's living and see a scanty patrimony decreed to strangers is 111 to bear, but the blow 19 made harder when tbe pretext for con-1 flBcatioii Is alleged to be some mustyi letter from Cromwell or a reckless lairing of tbe worthless Stuarts. Mr. Healy tells his story wiih enthusiasm and thoroughness. The pursuit, if not. exhaustive, baB not been without, pains. A trail three centuries old ls hard to follow. He concludes with a characteristic comparison between the methods of the English in Ireland and of the Romans in Judea. Under the Roman occupation of .Tti- dea no injunction was issued to deprive Hebrews of their fisheries. Of the custom of tlie lakes of Galilee and C?nnesarcth there Is evidence to go to a jury that, tbe local tribesmen could betimes lei down their nets for a draught. Nor is there mention of letters patent by Pontius Pilate or Herod to filch the river Jordan into their own hands. But surely the sea of Galilee and tlie lake of Gennesaretb were one and the same.

U. 945 FARMERS LOSE BY GRAIN MIXING Facts Brought Out at Grain Investigation at Minneapolis Show That Elevator Companies are Large Gainers Through Being Allowed to Mix Wheat.���Scandals Attached to Investigation���Sample Market and Mixing go Hand in Hand. In the i'eoent investigation by the legislature of Minnesota into methods of grain selling and handling some very interesting facts wero brought out. '"he committee appointed by the state senate had before it last Saturday the heads of the department or grain inspection and took sworn testimony of th: chief clerk of the chief inspector of the state as well ?.s that of the chief inspector. The close relation that exist between the sample market and the system of mixing by elevator companies, which is permitted by the laws of Minnesota was emphasized. Tables were rhowii giving the number of bushels of wheat >.: various grades received at the Minneapolis elevt ars and the number of bushels of the same grade which ,vas shipped out of the sr.me elevators. The tab- leu showed tlie figures for t. two-year period, beginning SeptemW' 1, 11)10, and ending August 31, l'J12. The fact that the Minneapolis elevators received 15,671,515 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat during those two years and shipped out in the same period 10,978,777 and had on hand 114,353 bushels, making a total of 20,- 093,130 bushels, was brought out. As a result of the privilege of mixing the elevators had ualnetl 4,521,555 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from the lower grades of wheat purchased from the farmers. The table of figures relating to (he receipt and shipment of the various grades tell the whole story of tho results of the mixing privilege. The Bame cordltion ls found when the figures on No. 2 Northern are presented, even though the grain in this grade is not so large. During tlie two year period the Minneapolis elevators received 20,414,584 bushels m No. 2. On August 31, 1912, they had shipped out 22,242,410 busheln and still had on hand 51,648 bushels, making a total of 22,294,094 bushels, or a gain of 1,880,- 510 bushels. When the tables on No. 3, No. 4, "rejected" and "no grade" wheat were explained it was easily shown wliore the grain In No. 1 and No. 2 came from. In thn last four Instances there was a loss In Iho clovators. Thero wero 9,777 031 bushel.-, of No. 3 received during tho two years. Tho shipments amounted to 7,864,282 nnd on August 31, 1912 (he clovators had ou hand 140,624 bushels. The total of No. 3 wheat, cither shipped or on bund, was 7,804,858 bushels. There was a loss In No. 3 grade of 1,972,' 175 bushels. in No. 4 grade the elevators received 2,812,653 bushi:; and shipped out 624,433 bushels. Tim loss In I It is grade waa 2,188,220 bushels. The "rejected" wheat tables showed the same condition, In this case there were 1,175,513 bushels received and 621,773 bushels shipped nut, making a loss ot 653,740 bushels. Hut It wns In Iho "no grade" class whore lhe largest loss appeared, Here 4,11115,505 bushels were received. At tin* end of tho two year period 1,000,045 bushels had been shipped uud there was tin limn! 2411,393 bushels, making a tt'tal of alilppcd and on hand of 1,250,- 338 bushels and leaving 3,445,227 bushels entirely iiniice:iiii!k 1 for. Cases uf Individually ownod elevators were also cited to tho senate committee. Ono of these had received 215,142 bushels of No. 4 wheat and at" the end of tho two year period had not shipped out one bushel of this grade and did not have on * bushel on baud. In other words, every bushel of thiB grade, the grade for which tho farmer was paid, wiib mixed and came out In tho No. 1 and No. 2 Northern grades, the grade for which the elevator owner sold it. Tlie elevator ) .en who bavo testified before the senate committee and the house committee have argued that the grain which they make by being allowed to mix is largely offset In the cost of the mixing process. This fact is vigorously disputed by James A. Manahan, counsel for the house committee, recently elected congress- inan-at-large for the state of Minnesota. Mr. Mauahan's contention is that the farmer is the loser by many millions every year under the present system. "When the elevator companies buy tho wheat they give the farmers the prices prevailing that day for No. 2, 3 "rejected" or "no grado' said Mr. Manahan at one of the sessions. "On that same day, these sar.o elevator companies sell a future on No. 1 and 2 for praotlcally that samo amount. Their experience has taught them that they can mix the lower grades so as to iill tho future order with No. 1 and 2. On that very day they make a profit ranging from the price they paid for the lower grades and the price for which they sell the future on No. 1 and No. 2. In my opinion this nets them a profit amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. True it.is that there is some expense in the mixing process but even so I believe that the elevator man Is making au enormous profit, a profit way out of pro portion." F. W. Eva, chief of the grain Inspection department, when asked regarding the relation of the system of mixing with the sample market, said: "A sample market would be of no value without the privilege of mixing. The two go hand in hand. I believe that the elevator men, having the privilege of mixing, ca: pay a premium for the upper level ot the grade." In another statement made before the committee Mr. Manahan said there was no doubt that the elevator companies are getting much of the profit that should be going to the farmer.

Old timers will remember with peculiar feelings the celebration of the Queen's Birthday at Comox Harbor iu May 1889. To Mr. Wm. Greive we are indebted for tlie copy of a poster announcing the event, which reads as follows: Queen's Birthday Celebration at the .Sand Spit Comox, B. C. on Friday May 24 1889. A grand base ball match between tlie Comox aud Union Mine Clubs. Foot racing, boat racing, horse racing- canoe races by Clootchmen, jumping and oilier athletic sports. $10 for the prettiest baby, aud $10 for the handsomest young lady. A special foot race for $100 a side between Jack Bruce and an unknown Co- moxian. Grand ball in tlie Knights of Pythias hall iu the evening. Committee: Messrs. J. Bruce, D. Muscamp and M. E. Millett. It is doubtful if the celebrations we have to-day bring tlie enjoyment those old time ones did, One of the incidents Mr. Grieve remembers is that Mr. Gardner and aud his two sous made $225 that day carrying passengers to and from Roy's Beach, much to tlie chagrin of Mr. J. B. Holmes whose row boats tltey had hired for tlie occasion. The Union Mine had just opened then and there was no road to Cumberland, and tlie nearest point to Comox was Roy's beach. Mr. Grieve also remembers the burning of tlie Steamer Grapler at Cape Mudge in 1S83. Mr. Jos. McPhee was also in the vicinity at the time trading with the Indians, and but for tlie blankets lie had with him the survivors would have fared very badly indeed. When the boat became uumauagable the Chinese crew seized all the life preservers. An Indian named Chicotus whom mam- will remember, seized a club and sailed into the Chinamen and took a large portion of them away.

Buyer has recently returned from Golden, where lie has been in connection with installing oil burners on the locomotives of that place, There was considerable excitement at Headquarters ou the evening of the Jotli Two of the most popular young, men of that town, alter having decided not lo attend the Courtenay dance, received a trlephone call from a couple ol Cumberland's charming poung ladies ami live minutes alterwarils they were seen running at lull speed to lhe nearest rum h- ers to hire a rig. The rancher, living iu Ignorance ol their Inability as teamsters, graciously acceded to then- request and they shortly returned with his most up- to-date buggy and a horse lhat wo..id probably lip ihe scales at win pounds, Alter spending au hour and a hall shaving and massaging their laves, and having dressed in their most becoming manner, tltey went iulo the .store and purchased a generous supply of dainty sweets lor their lady friends. Jly this time thev were, as tltey thought, ready to prodeed on their way to Courtenay, but after antyillg their steed, anil having seated themselves eomfualably iu the buggy, they found to their dismay that the horse continued to follow straight up along tbe railway track instead ot turning into the pubiij thoroughfare, as though he was going by instinct for want of a driver, when suddenly be turnep to lhe right anil crossed the railway trae.-. The occupants of the carriage, fearing they were going to b - car- lieu into tne tall timber, witu muring eyes and prespiring foreheads, grabbed hold of a line eaeii ami began lo pull with all their might and main, living unable to check the onrush of the ferocious beast ill this manner they both seized the one line und brought the animal to such a sharp angle that he lost his footing and rolled over in the mud. At this particular moment, to the dismay of the numerous spectators, Roy was seen to tuke a flying leup, over the buck of the buggy, which would have put a professional skee jumper to shame, alighting in a nearby puddle, ami Clarence, likewise being unable to retain his s .-at any longer, tumbled out over one ol tne front wneels. One of the kind luartjd speactators ran to the assistance of uiese two would be drivers aud reharncssed the noble steed while our two heors returned to the hotel und changed their clothes. After spending anotner three quarters of au hour on their toilet they were seen to approach the unweiklly steed with hesitating and trembling steps. One of the bystanders being of a kind disposition volunteered to lend his assistance and the two corageous youths, after being reassured several times that there was no further danger, for the second time that evening eliuied into the rig. After leading the horse out the road for about a mile, until the boys regained their nerve, he allowed them to venture forth alone. Whether they reached Courtenay iu time for the dance or not the writer is not prepared to say but it is presumed they did us they were heard to remark before leavng Headquarters they were going to reach Courtenay that night if they hail to walk. There is no doubt about these boys being able to walk this distance if they had to as the first one to be precipitateil out of the rig had to walk from a point between Courtenay and Cumberland to Headquarters on the preceeding Sunday evening having bee" joy riding in an automobile with a wavey haired youth from Camp 1, and three of Cumberlann's fair sex, and while the boys were returning in the wee sum hours they were unfortunate enough to have a coliesion with an obstacle which happened to be some fifty feet from the center of the road bid. After all love will find a way and it is hoped the boys enjoyed the dance. One of the spectators' a����t> Cow Testing Association The Provincial Department of Agriculture, through the Livestock Branch, is offering to the dairy farmers of British Columbia, means whereby much needed information concerning the performance aud profit of dairy cows will be made available The [plan followed, is to appoint for a district, one experienced in testing aud dairy-farm work, who I will devote his entire time to the business on hand. Equipped with 'a complete testing outfit, he will go from farm to farm in the district, and staying one night, will weigh, sample and test the night and morning milkingsof all the cows. He will also keep account of the feed consumed by the cows, and valuing both the butter-fat and the feed on a basis set by the Directors of the Association, will enter the figures secured, in a book provided, which is left with the farmer. No information whatever concerning results obtained at any establishment must be given by the tester to any person except the owner ami the Secretary of the Association. To nny district securing for such au Association a minimum of four! hundred cows, divided into about 2f> herds,���which represent the, working days of the month,���the] Livestock Branch will I'm nidi the necessary testing outfit, books, etc., aud a competent tester. It will also guarantee this tester's salary, aud undertake to pay the same, settling matters quarterly with the Secretary of the Association. The members will contribute at the rate of One dollar per cow per annum, being billed therefor by the Secretary at the end of that quarter iu which the cows came under the test. The system can by no means be termed new, as it has been followed for years in Denmark, and more recently iu Wisconsin and many States of the Union, including tlie neighbouring ones of Oregon and Washington. Its chief advantage lies in that complete yearly .statements of tbe feed and yield of animals arc obtained; authentic, because they have been secured by a disinterested party, aud can therefore, be of service wheu the purchase or sale of dairy cows is contemplated. To the dairy industry of the Comox district, the institution of such an Association should prove of great value indeed. It is understood that several of the leading dairymen are interesting themselves in the project, and ��� purpose calling a meeting for public discussion of the matter before long.

Waters of Ireland's Greatest Lake J Stolen From Public uy a... I Deputy's Fraud Dublin, Ireland���1! la a truism that only the busiest men have nny time to spare, and it is proved again by the publication of an elaborate his* toiical study hy T. M. llealy, the Fa-1 nious Irish M.P., who is as entertain* ill); ami brilliant with bis peii us he Is ill speech. Mr, llealy was one ol the counsel In the ease concerning the Ashing rights In the waters of Lough Neagh, decided by the lions' of lords lu favor of Lord Donegal! In 1911, and his book "stolen Waters," Is a careful examination Ot the evidence on which lhat i.eclsion was based. The story begins 300 years ago, when .lames I was king, and Sir Arthur I'hlehes er, a' ( sti. ot Loi I Done- gall, was lord deputy ot Ireland. King James perBuaded the corporation of London to plant certain territories in Ulster. They spenl -some $800,000 and ibey war promised in return laud ��� i fJert'.v an d the Halting ol Lough PoylO and the iT llnnn. According m Mr. llealy, the Londoners were defrauded of Ihelr rights In the Uann, which wltb Lough Neagh, fi" which the river issues, was appropriated by Chichester by lettem patent, s ale.I bv ibe lord deputy In his own favor Without lhe consent or knowledge of tho king. Strafford, 81 bonesl mnn and always jealous for the rlsfhts of the crown, Compelled Chichester's hell* to restore the stolen water; (Ibe phrase In, of course, Mr. Healy's) bul after ie Restoration they nijuln reverted lo the family. For generations, Mr. llealy tells us, Ihe patent privileges were unasserted ns far ns Lough Neagh was concerned. In 1878, Indeed, the house of lords upheld the public right to lish, but this deelslqn wns reversed two years ago. The embargo on Lough Neagh deprives the public of the profit of their greatest, lake, In behoof of private Individuals. To toll one's dally bread lu a perilous and precarious calling is no enviable birthright. Since the world wns young this craft hns been freely piled hy the longshoremen of Lough Neagh, The right lo^jxerclse It they defended nl the Scn,ts of the Mighty, only to find that lhe law rejected their claim to earn a livelihood To bo bereft of one's living nnd see a scanty patrimony decreed to strain;- ers is ill to bear, but the '"low is mnde harder when the pretext for confiscation Is alleged to be some musty letter from Cromwell or a reckless [airing of ihe worthless Stuarts. Mr. llealy tells his story with enthusiasm and thoroughness, The pursuit, If not exhaustive, hn; not he**n without, pains. A trail three centuries old Is haj*d to follow. He eon- eludes with a characteristic comparison between the methods of the English in Ireland aud of the Romans in Jurtea. Under the Roman occupation of Ju- dea nn Injunction was issued to deprive Hebrews of their fisheries. Of the custom of the lakes of Galilee and r mnesareth there Is evidence to eo to a jury thnt the locnl tribesmen could betimes le, down their pets fo" a draught. Nor Is there mention of letters patent by Pontius Pilate or Kerod to filch the river Jordan Into their own hands. But surelv the sen of Galilee aud the lake of Gennesareth were one and the same.

Quarrel It Just Escaped a Serious Ending By DOROTHEA HALE tTftffft tTTI'TfTTTTTeTlfttT Two of the boys from the Lone Bull ranch were herding a bunch of cattlt among the Bow hills, which were not really hills at all, but bits of the prairie lifted Into little mounds of herbage. Cnhricl and Tbcron Crane had not spoken for three weeks. Tbe reason for their sudden change from warm friendliness to bitter enmity waa a mystery to their comrades aud a milter for retreat for the entire otittit Now they rode a few hundred yards apart, silent, taciturn and moody. It was not for them with hatred in their hearts to rejoice in the sweetness of the spring morning or to feel the pulse of the now season beating strong with-' to them. A very little matter precipitated tht smoldering passions that lay beneath tho calm pxferlor of their sun browned faces. Gabriel in passing his comrade, who was smoking one of his everlasting cigarettes, felt the stinging bnrn ot a flying ash against his cheek. Involuntarily his hand sought his hip pocket, but Crane bad already drawn and was looking coolly at him from behind his heavy weapon. 1 "W-e-1-1," drawled Crane after a little startled pause, "did you reckon yon could do for me this way?" "You know better than that Too needn't chuck your sparks in my face," retorted Gabriel furiously. Crane smiled with t puzzled look behind his honest eyes. "What's eating you, Gabe?" be demanded after * little pause. "What's eating yon, you mean. Ion been looking for trouble this here three weeks. I heard all about what you said down to the canyon." Gabriel still sat half turned on his saddle, ont hand on his hip. "Looking for trouble!" repeated Crane incredulously. "Why, I been trying to keep outer trouble with you. I reckoned you'd lay for me some"��� "Lay for your' roared Gabriel. "I ain't that kind. When I have a bone to pick 1 ain't a-going around throwing cigarette ashes in anybody's face. If you got anything against me I'll meet you down to Satan's gulch and we'll light It out." "There won't but one go borne again," said Crane angrily. *��� "Sure." "When will jw 1 be therer "Tomorrow nSrnlng at half past 4." , Without another word- they sen- ���rated. There was a certain air of grim de- ! termination In Gabriel's manner that night which caused Harry Barry and Tim Lewis to exchange nneasy glances and later to meet at the gate of tbe corral. Marry Barry was tbe Brat to break tbe silence. ' "Gabriel's cleaning bis gun," he re- marked with assumed lightness. "So's Crane," said Tim significantly. "What do you think they're going to do?" asked Harry uneasily. Tim Lewis shook bis head dubiously, i "No telling." "l*Jhry guess. They're never been tbe same like brothers as they always was ' since tbey came borne from that dona- j tlon bee over to the Forks church." "Donation bee! I reckon you're' meaning tbe party they give tbe new j minister, where everybody took vie- tuals and then stayed to eat up what they brought." Hurry Barry nodded bis handsome . head. "I guess I was some mixed up with the quilting bee I beard they was giving to the wlddcr who keops bouse ! for the minister. Whatever made them two geezers get mad at each ether? They didn't bare anything to drink except milk. They paid some notice to tbe Widdcr Padrose." Tim Lewis shook his head dubiously, j "And tbey was always the best of friends," mourned gifrry Barry. "Per- j Imps a woman came between 'cm," he i added hopefully as one who had dla- j covered nn elusive clew. > "Don't blame everything on the wlm- j men," chilled Tim. "There Isn't any use ns guessing. We better do what we can to help keep 'cm from manufacturing sieves." i "Vou mean to draw tbe charges from ! them guns," observed Harry Barry. I "But somehow I don't know as I ilka ' tbe Job of taking Gabriel's gun away ��� from hlni while he's sleeping innocent- ' like. Why, ho'd go Into the sieve, business right away wltb me for t. sample. Guess again." I 1 "My best guess Is that I'll get op j blight and early and trail 'em till I'm satisfied they're not out for blood,'* j aald Tim. Long before Hurry Barry had thrust I kis, head from beneath his blanket c.'itirlei arm crane nuo arisen ns try ! mutual accord and, dressing quietly, j had gone down to the corral *tte\\\\ caught up their horses. Out in the pale dawn of a new day j rode the two men who bad been close , friends for years.

Slowly they dismounted, making much delay over tha careful stoking of their horses at a respectful distance, fussing orer tbe adjustment of saddles and blankets and delaying In every way the crucial moment At last when there was no excuse for further delay, Gabriel walked slowly to tbe farthest point and leaned against a rock. "I'm ready," he said carelessly. "Same here," returned bis enemy briskly. "There won't but one go back," said Gabriel slowly. "I s'pose there might be a message to send."

"Did you get rid of him?" the conductor asked when the train was under motion again. "I hadn't the heart," was the reply "He turned out to be an old school friend of mine." "I'll take care cl him," said tlie conductor as he started over the tops of the cars. When the train had again started the brakeman came and said: "Well, is he off?" "No; he turued out to be an old school friend of mine, too," replied the conductor.-London Weekly Telegraph. An East Prussian Custom. Midsummer day. or St. John the Baptist's day, is a festival of much importance among the Masur peasant girls in east Prussia. On this day they each make a wreath, and each in turn tries to throw her wreath so as to lodge it on a truit tree. A girl must keep on throwing until her wreath stays in the branches, and the number of attempts is supposed to indicate the number of years she will have to wait to get married. When the girls are thus engaged the young ineti of the village stand around chatting them when they miss. The Ma- surs are Poles who live in that part of Prussia which was once part of Poland. CAUSES OF BALDNESS. French Authority Blames It on Heavy Hats and Improper Diet. Dr. Ouelpa of Paris lias made some interesting studies pertaining to the j sculp and tli? hair which have led I lriru to conclude that men are more frequently bald than women for three , reasons. First of all, they wear hard. I heavy hats; secondly, they cut their hair too short both in summer and winter, and in the third place men I usually are greater eaters than wo- I men. Dr. Cluelpa points out that the sealp j ! can actually be compared to soil, says ! The London Evening Standard, the | ; hair to the vegetation springing from ! that soil, When the soil is poor and i improperly looked after microbacill attacli " Unstable No Longer Right Word Characterize French Temper. In uu interesting lecture delivered before tlie Modern Language Association nt South Kensington recently, Pmf. Caznmiun, ol the University ol Paris, traced the history oi the change which lias lately come over the temper of the French people in su nianjt��di- rections, politically and otherwise. The political reputation of France, he said, was not high in Europe, u fact which was not to be wondered at when ihe history of Europe during the past century was considered, Thu ordinary Englishman regarded the word "instability" us the best sum- ming up of the Frenchman's political outlook, and us this opinion wus shared by u large number of his countrymen, it was beyond question that there was something In it. That political Instability was ascribed, said Proi. CazatnlaU, .to the traditional character ol tbe French. man. u man who is portrayed as impatient nnd volatile, eager fnr revolt, u rebel to discipline, immersed in abstract theories, contemptuous ol precedent und custom, always tempted to introduce personalities in the domain of public affairs, devoid of perseverance and that laborious patience which was undoubtedly the foundation of political capacity. "1 admit," continued the professor, "that there is a considerable amount of truth in tbat picture, but Franco forty years ugo passed through a great trial, and the men of our generation instinctively took from their earliest years a serious view of life. That experience tended to self-exuinination, and it is noteworthy that both Kngland and France have this in common, thnt both countries, ancient hut not decrepit, hnve passed through their youth and are busy investigating their position, while other countries are still going through a period of self- assertion.".. To some extent, lie went on, the vogue that sport enjoyed nt present in France, together with Ihe new spirit of adventure which was driving Frenchmen to seek careers in the colonies, notably in Morocco, all tended to teach them self-command and concentration of effort. They were trying to divide parlies more according to principles, and not personalities, and ministers were obtaining longer leases of power. Then again, the professor pointed out, in France to-day there was among other changes a much greater respect for the law. That could be illustrated in the appeals which were being made to the good sense oi the crowd, tho public gardens and open spaces being placed "under public protection." Nothing, he said, in conclusion, could show in a clearer light tli is new spirit in France than the conduct of his countrymen during the Agadir crisis. Englishmen were good enough to compliment the French on their behavior at that time, but the proof of the profound change in the national consciousness was that tlieir attitude, which appeared splendid to others, was to themselves quite natural. Looked Big to Him. A sense of the value of money comes to some people sooner than to others, and some people never know its vnltie, but there is one lit'tle boy in a suburb of Boston that has a keen sense of it. He was discussing a piece of work that he had done and telling his mother how much he had been paid for it. Now, the boy is not yet ten years old and so the price paid for his labor was small. To him it looked large, however. "But n boy I know got $4 a week for working," .he told his mother. "He worked for a long time, but he got sick and died. Now, what do you 1 think of a fellow that'll die with that Barbarous Mortification if the Flesh Part ol Rite:. The religion of the Ottoman Empire is typical oi its people���barbaro i- and fantastic.

A meat diet increases the proportion of acids in the blood and consequently also increa.ses the acids in the waste thrown off by the body in the form of perspiration. This acid perspiration is particularly harmful to tho hair ns it stimulates unduly the flow of the sebum, and as the hair cannot absorb this unusual amount of fluid placed at its command the fluid thickens around the roots of the huir aud clogs them up. As obese persons perspire more freely than thin individuals, the explanation is at hand for the baldness which invariably adds to the misery of the fat man.

You must feci tired, I'm sure. How't your mistress?" The Scented Court. "The scented court" was the name by which the court of Louis XV. wi< known throughout Europe on account of the rage for perfume which then prevailed in France. Tbe. expenditure of Mme. de Pompadour for tbis one branch of her toilet amounted to $100,- (100 annually. It became the fashion for the host or hostess of a great entertainment to signalize to their guests what particular perfume was to be employed for scenting their rooms on the night for which the invitations were issued, and they were expected to use no other, so that the delicate effect of a unity of odort might be produced. At court a different perfume waa presented for each day of the week. The Fork. It is about 1,900 years ago since the | fork made its appearance in Europe. In 99 A.D. a son of the doge Pielro Orsolo had wedded in Venice the Briz- zantine Princess Argils, who produced at the wedding breakfast a silver fork and gold spoon.- Then the high Venetian families followed suit, and these martyrs to fashion pricked their lips with the new instrument. The fork prospered, however, and spread over Italy. In 1579 it had traveled as far as France, and in 1608 a traveler took it direct to England. Voting Terms. "Ballot," as generally used, has wandered far from its original meaning of "little ball." Even "blackballing" is no longer necessarily literal. Language has several fossil relics ol primitive methods of voting. Most famous is "ostracism," which perpetuates the memory of tbe "ostrakon," the potsherd or shell upon which the Athenian citizen voted for the banishment of a too prominent personage. Another instance is "spondulicks," Ihe slang word for money. A "spon- dulos," properly a vertebra of the spinel came to mean any round thing and iu particular the voting peddle or its metal equivalent. The Tidet. The tides are nothing but very long Waves, und the manner in which they run around the earth without the water being obliged to move very iar may be illustrated by laying a piece of rope on the floor and making waves run along it from end to end. Tbe waves go all the way, but the ropa lies in the same place all the time. To Make Work a Pleasure. Mothers, wives, make tlie home homeable. Let Hod's air in.

Acts as Trustees, Administrators of Estates, General Financial Agents, Real Estate, Mortgages, Loans, Insurance, Etc. 4 ��/0 Paid on Deposits Property owners of the Comox Valley are specially invited to list their real estate with this Company THE INCORPORATION COURTENAY OF By a member of tlie Hoard of Trade At the meeting the other night Dr. Millard promised that the Waterworks Company would sell their undertaking to the city, when they wished to huy the waterworks, at only 6 per cent, premium. Now, if he were iu a position to n ake the promise good this would be quite a good proposition. Hut he will not be. There are 3500 $10 shares: each share has a vote in deciding the affairs of the Company, I>r. Millard aud his friends only propose to take 25 I of these. There remain 3250 shares which will lie placed elsewhere. It is idle to suppose that many -will he sold locally. The bulk will be sold outside, in Cumberland, Victoria and Vancouver, and probably the Pipe Company will have a large holding. Does anyone expect that these outside shareholders, who have no interest at all in our city, will be content with anything less than their fair pound of flesh. The law allows them 30 per cent, premium, and you may be quite sure they will get it, every cent. Not even if the majority of the shares were held locally could the minority be compelled to sacrifice tlieir shares for 6 per cent, when the Water Act gives them 30 per cent. The Saloon Keepers We have two quite good and respectful members of the class here. They are, according to their lights, good citizens. But it is inevitable that their business of selling alcohol brings them into opposi- I (ion with the better feeling of the com- ] lr.uuity. The more that their business flourishes the worse for the town. Incorporation to them means higher license, more strict inspection of their business. At present, by a weak point in the law, they pay too low license fees. The amount they pay is calculated on the number of people living within a short radius from their hotel. Where as we all know the bulk of their business conies from the logging camps, some distance away. In the matter of running their houses they can and do act just as they please. There are days in the month when the streets of Courtenay are not fit for a woman or child to walk in, where every few yards there is the disgusting spectacle of drunken men trotting about the road, often using filthy language. When we get our municipality we will see that our wives and children can walk our streets in quiet and decency. One of the most popular sentiments at the large and representee meeting the other night was that 'the drunks made Courtenay' and that if it wasn't for the two hotels there would be no Courtenay. And 1'am afraid our two friends believe it is true. Because they make more money and make it more quickly than any one else in town, they think they have a right to run the whole show. They tried to make a start at the meeting. I hope they were satisfied with the result, The Cumberland Bogey It was amusing to see the Waterworks Company trying to draw the Cumberland men into controversy with the Courtenay people at the meeting. Cumberland was not to be drawn. They weren't going to fool themselves just to please that crowd. Why is Cumberland so hard up. There are several minor reasons. But there is one great big reason which stares you in the face and puts all the others in the shade. And that is as you know, the fact that the water and light are in private hands, the citizens of Cumberland are taxed twice over, but the larger share of the taxes never goes to the municipal coffers, If the citizens of Cumberland owned their own water and light they would not have to pay one cent of direct taxation at all! The whole expenses of the city, school and tax could be met out of the profit of these two companies! When the Courtenay Waterworka Company try to scare you with the Cumberland Bogey they must think you fools, The High Taxation Bogey It is a common thing to hear the opponents of incorporation talk as though an exhorbitant and crippling rate of taxation was an inevitable and fatal doom that must needs fall on any city rash enough lo incorporate. That the taxes wtll jump sky high and that future settlers will avoid the place as if plague stricken. This is just bunkum. The rate of taxation and the amount you borrow is in your own hands. If you want to blossom out into cement sidewalks and wood paved stieets, parks and street cars you must expect to pay for them, but if you remain as you are, sensible and level headed you can keep your .taxes at a low rate, aud only cairy out improvements which you feel you can afford. In conclusion let me repeat that if it had not been for the action of the waterworks company we should have been content to wait another year before incorporating.
