Fox farms are now established all over the Dominion and a number of progressive residents of the Boundary country have taken up this business with good results. Prominent among them are M��. and Mrs. Chas. Graser, who are owners of the Pine Crescent Fox Farm, located up Kerr Creek, near the Greenwood- ' Midway road. In December 1927 they started with two pairs of 'silver black foxes, received from Prince Edward Island, the home of the industry. The first year (1926) ��� 10 pups were wised and the second (1927)'26 pups a record hard to equal. This year -two pups had to be taken from the vixen _and.-were .given-to, a'-.cat which, reared" them.' One of them was kept alive'by being fed with a medicine dropper, receiving nourishment every two hours for ten days. This required great patience on the part of Mrs. Graser, whose kindly treatment kept the -animals alive, alive. It is a great sight to'~watch Mrs. Graser feeding the two pet foxes along with the foster mother (the cat), and to see the playful antics of these animals. The Grasers have an ideal location for their fox farm. The pens are 16 feet wide and 40 feet long, given them .considerable-freedom.���The-foxes-prei- fer to live outside, seeking shelter very seldom.

It is largely responsible for j )tepruscnt.,ttve8i 0f Take Necessary Precautions Canadians havc no reason to apologize for tlie climate of thcir counlry, tven In periods of severe winter cold; on the contrary they arc proud of the .fact tliat, in so many respectu, the Canadian winter is a very real asset to j the Dominion. There It is due the high qu tlie fact that Canadians aro a hardy, robust, healthy people, full of initiative end energy. It is not u climate in.which idlers and slackers survive, consequently iL develops a progressive, industrious people. But just as in the tropics people must exorcise certain precautions during eoasons of intense heat, so must Canadians take precautions during perioda of intense cold, or in stormy seasons. To neglect commonsonse precautions at such-times is to invite disaster. During a blizzard which recently raged across a portion of Western Canada and the Western United States, a little lad of seven years waa ^allowed to. leave his home for thc rural school hq. attended some distance away. He lost his way, became utterly exhausted, and his death resulted. ���Such a'tragedy is tho result of not taking tlie very natural precaution of 'keeping a young child homc ut such a time..It was foolhardy in thc extreme to allow the child to venture out. Tlie Saskatchewan .Department of Education has issued a timely warning to parents and teachers to exercise care in permitting children to proceed to and from school iu very severe cold weather, when strong winds prevail during severe cold or a blizzard threatens. The Departmental warning ���points out that "it is better to keep a child home than to risk a tragedy, or, :if adverse weather changes occur during school hours, to detain thc children .:in tho school house until they can be safely conveyed home." The advice is given that "at such times parents may v/cll telephone the -���teacher stating whether their children are or are not en route to school, while ��� teachers should, in like manner, telephone parents that their children aro being detained.at thc school until sent for, or that they have been started for home under escort. ��� As contrasted with conditions only a comparatively few years ago, when rural telephones were few and far between, the prairies of Canada are'riow criss-crossed witli rural telephone lines. ^Nearly every rural school lias a telephone installed, and an instrument is to he fountl in the great majority -of farm homes. Good use should be mado of thorn'in thc manner suggested by thc Saskatchewan Department of Education. , - .. * Commenting on the above oflicial warning, one Saskatchewan paper cor- rectly says that it is usually when parents do not know -what the readier is - doing ancl the teacher does not know what thc parents are doing that such deplorable accidents as did happen in tlie recent storm occur. In severe cold weather the number of tragedies from fire also largely increase. Roaring fires are built before thc family retires for the night, or before leaving the house for an evening in order that it may be warm on thcir return. Fires occur all too frequently with calamitous results. Sometimes the stove is checked too tightly and while thc family sleeps ths house ���fills with gas. jAll of which only serves to.'emphasize, the need of taking every possible ���precaution while coping with tlie problems which severe cold weather brings -.for a few weeks during the height of the Canadian winter.

These remind ua very much of tho Imperial Zolivereln, whicli was proposed many years ago by tliat brilliant and far- seeing- statesman, Joseph" Chamberlain. His proposal was that the Empire should, as' far as possible, become a self-sustairied one, and that is practically what Sir Alfred Mond desires. He points out that ih natural resources the British Empire is more self-contained than any other country in the world, ever Uie United States; his opinion regarding this state of affairs in the States may not particularly please the-.

Ami,, F.R.S.C., president of tlie Canadian School of Prehistory in France, who recently returned to , the Dominion with 5,000 specimens illustrating the evolution of man's industrial implements, claims that man has been an intelligent creature for 450,000 years. He says'' prehistoric man did uot always engage in fighting. The specimen-tools which are in his collection prove this, he says. The tools that he found while he was engaged in excavating indicate that man was very industrious in the glacial age. Dr. Ami for the past three months has been working in the Moustieriau deposits near Bordeaux, under special concession by the French Government.- Tlie1 collection which" he obtained is said to be the finest ever brought out by thc excavators.

Uswf Type Prematurely Editor's Assistant Thought Tornado Worthy Of Large Heading ' \ Up to tho time of the, St. -Louis cyclone of 1896, the St.' Louis Globe- Democrat had never, even , on an occasion so important as a Presidential election, printed a headline more' than two columns wide, in type that would be considered inconspicuous in these days, writes Silas Dent in Harper's Magazine. : The paper had "become powerful and famous under the management of J. B. McCullagh, but on' the day of the storm (of all days) he was unable lo get to his oflice. Thc duty of getting out the paper thus fell to a youngish assistant. The cyclone was a story of. importance anywhere in the United States. In St. Louis, what with tho great property 'loss, the death toll, the narrow escape's and heroic rescues, and thc freakishncss of tlie cyclone itself, it was by all odds thc greatc-st story of a generation. The young assistant rose to the occasion. In the composing room hc foiind some huge wooden type intended for posters and handbills and out of it he constructed a headline calculated to shock the most phlegmatic. When McCullagh reached the office the next day the young man, so the story goes, spread the paper before him witli unaffected pride. How did he like that headline? The managing editor gazed on it for somc seconds in silence.-- Then; "It's a good head," he said, "it tells tlio story; ..but that type���I was saving that typo for thc Second Coming!"

Length Of Flax Fibre' Mukcri For Greater Strengih- Often wc do not- know thc reasons for some of the simplest facts about thc home, says ".The Boston Transcript." What is there, for instance, in thc" nature of linen fabric that gives -it the qualities it has? The flax fibre from which linen is woven i3 the longest of all vegetable fibres. Therefore it has great strengtli when spun into threads, for thc many individual fibres get a stronger hold on one another in tlie thread. For this reason some linen damask table cloths wliich covered the dining tables centuries ago may still be found in use today. . " At the same timc the flax fibre is cylindrical in shape, of clear, clean outline and comparatively of solid formation. The thread mado up of it is also smooth, and consequently the finished damask is smooth and lustrous, with practically no nap. The flax plant naturally tends to grow this kind of fibre, but it has been> much aided by man's ingenuity and tireless persistence. Tn ���*-Ireland and^ Scotland many decades of effort have gone into improving and developing the flax plants. It is now announced by the flax scientists in those countries that a new "super.- ~flax"~~plant has been developed, the fibres ot" which are even longer and firmer than ever before. Thus, linen damask table cloths and napkins cf today will bc heirlooms of tomorrow.

Tells Why People Are Near-Sighted Because Man Has" Not Yet Ceased Being a Fish Says Optometrist Nearsightedness, [ov . myopia,' is widely prevalent among the human species because man has not yet completely ceased being a flsh, it was asserted by Dr/Eugenc G. Wiseman of Buffalo. Chairman of the American Academy^of Optometry, which held its annual convention at the hotel Pennsylvania, New York. - "Wc have found," Dr. Wiseman said, "that a great proportion of cases of myopia_are caused by the fact that the dyes naturally diverge to the right ancl to the left instead.of looking straight ahead. The inner muscles of the eye, in trying to correct this and restore the paralclleisin of the vision of the two eyes are- subjected to a strain which produces near-sightedness. "Prismatic lenses have now been developed which restore this parallelism while they allow the eyes to remain in tlieir natural, slightly divergent, position. Many cases of myopia have been reduced and many others have been entirely cured by this simple method." Many lower animals such as insects and birds, Dr. Wiseman said, have vision incomparably keener than that of man. For example, he said, to the' mosquito, man glowed like a burning coal. In man's development from the lower species, he continued, the eyes had gradually come to the front from tlieir position at the side of the head, as in the fish, and with this had come a great improvement���parallel vision of both eyes. "This gave man a triangulating mechanism by whicli ho could judge distances, and was of great value- to him,""said Dr. Wiseman. "But naturally this recently acquired binocular single vision possessed the incompleteness of most new mechanisms.''" Dr. Wiseman said that myopia was increasing becauso' modem civilization necessitated close application, as in reading and handiwork. , "So marked is this tendency," eaid Dr. Wiseman; "that some persons even havo predicted that eventually thc human race will be cyclopcan and have only one' eye, and thai in the middle of the forehead." Vigilance Needed To -, ;' Keep Undesirables Out Many Ways Tried To Smuggle Them Into England - The British Secret Service department is kept ever busy and ever vigilant, in preventing black listed undesirables from landing in Groat. Britain. Valicre, a French communist who is on the Home Ollice Black List, and who had already been turned back when he tried to land .in-'England, was recently arrested in London. It was found that he had landed from a sailing boat on tlie beach near Folk- stone, says a writer in Pearson's Weekly. k Recently Mr. Burnett, the chief immigration officer, received Information from an agent that a number of Chinamen were to be smuggled into England in the' liner President Lincoln. In consequence, the vessel was met at Hawaii and carefully searched, but nothing could be found. The men wore on the point of giving, up when ono of the searchers chanced to bump into one of a row of coffins in thc hold and knocked thc lid off. Inside was a young Chinaman lying full length, witli food and luggage beside him. Eleven coffins were found similarly filled. Some two years ago, a vessel, believed to be carrying Chinese immigrants, was chased by ti patrol boat ancl apparently betrayed her guilt by making off at top speed. Night fell, but still the patrol boat nung on, and at last caught up with the vessel and boarded her. Not a sign of a Chinese could be found aboard, and the patrol boat skipper was forced reluctantly to let the other vessel go. In port one of the crew got drunk, and talked.'His story was that the skipper of tho smuggler, as soon as it was dark, had tied a fire-bar to the legs of each of-twenty- seven wretched yellow men end flung them overboard, Gave Him His Answer One of the wittiest pf the younger generation- of uctrcsses is Miss Dorothy Minto.

''* " The tumult and the shouting which usher the Old Year derisively out'and drag the New Year hilariously in, it is, after all, only a spent hour of self- abandon. For when the noise has died and the little night has past, the fact remains; and the fact is a milestone set firmly in the fibre of our living journey,' and it would come if we slept, or if we kept vigil or, indeed, if we passed into eternity in advance of the event. It is fatality wc celebrate, whether we recognize it or notfit is human limitation we speed into the night'with the old year, knowing that all things are beyond our control; and thus we play the bravo, daring Time to do what he can and will, since the dawn is not of our numbering. For some the night of capering; for others the morning of reflection. "Resist 'tlie beginnings," urges Ovid, but ho speaks of temptations. "Those that with haste," remarks Cassius, "will make a mighty fire, begin it with weak straws." That is wisdom, and the weak straws of our flame are the gleanings of New Year's Day, left from the vanished harvest of the' dead year. Spencer was not the first, nor the last, to discover that "each goodly thing is" hardest to begin," but there is a quite coriimon discovery that even the weakest of good intentions leave a reproach among its ruins, and that is something. Life, is a succession of moods, through which we pass again and again; and, according to our character, some grow strong and 'some moro , faintly marked as they revolve. The coming of the New Year is of all these moods the most arresting, because it conspires with the seasons to symbolize life itself. He is a bold man who dares shut his .ears to the toiling of the summons this day echoes; he is a foolish _man,_J;oo,____for____if____the^bells____monotoneJ: their warning they also peal their pro- " mise. Who kno.ws of to-morrow? Of another such day, a year hence,. and what shall be written? Whither the trail; What the rewards? Something stirs within as the day glides into the year; and-that profound element of high adventure, which shines through' the eyes of a _ boy for whom all the earth' awaits a conqueror, flickers, perchance flames, and lights "a candle of understanding in thine" heart, which shall not be put out." Good intentions are not to be despised; they are their own benediction. Not all are wise enough to collect weak straws, but the fault is born of zeal. So long as we ponder the matter and realize, if once a year, that it is even better and more useful to live for good ideals than to die for them, each New Year holds towards us the kindling torch, For these the peal of promise, and the dawn after the "night. ���:���....
