HATCHABILITY VS, FERTILITY.Yes, you were surprised wben that incubator full of tertile eggs didn't hateh.You saw those germs, you did, and you cussed that {ocubator too.But fertility isn't batchability.Think it over.To be fertile an egg must only be impreguated, but to be batchable that germ must come frou strong stock, aud to produce ua chick from the germ that egy wust covtaln the elements that compose a chick.A perfect egy contains 11 per cent shell, 32 per cent yolk and 57 per cent albumen, or 11.2 lime, 65.5 water, 11.9 proteids, 9.3 fats, U ash.Plus the germ, these are the \"makin\u2019s\u201d of a chick.But flavor, color and odor may be fed into eggs.Ilens fed onlons lay onion tainted eggs: fed too much ul- trogen, their eggs are flabby.ill tlavor- ed, and yolks are small, while that egg whose elements are dug out of a dung pile has a musty odor and soon rots.\u2018Thus, you sce, if the components of a chick aren't in the egg ration bow can the egg make the chick?For without proper egg food to nourish it the germ starves to death.There are certain things that inter fere with hatchabllity\u2014lack of green food, proteln and exercise.The latter and too much fattener often knock both batchabllity and fertility.Many, lured by high prices, force thelr bens to fay hurd all winter.in the spring wales are strong, but the hens, exhausted by overwork, lay an egg that gives a weak click.if any.Knowing (his, some fanciers feed so breeders do not lay heavily until spring, and after sucb a rest the hens -lay eggs that give a high percentage of strong chicks.FEATHERS AMD RGGSHELLS.While lime is a great deodorant aad disinfectant, it is also a great irritant Remember this when you are tempted to scatter slaked lime in that bruoder or hbenbouse.If placed on u dump floor and removed before the fowls get on to it or send it into the ulr with their whirring wings it is a great benefit Plovers\u2019 eggs in England are considered a great dainty and are espe cially popular at the king's table, where they are often served for breakfast.They are served at the London restaurant at $5 apiece.It has been demonstrated again and again that turkeys cannot be profitably raised on wet land.High, sandy, gravelly soil is best, and there is much of such ground on furms that hardly pays for tillage, which turned into turkey playground wouid bring big profit.The breeders of Buckeyes are quletly pushing thelr breed and are going to pull off a big surprise on the Ruode Island Red cnthuslasts, with whom they mostly compete.This breed was originated by Mrs.Frank Metcalf of Californin and was named after Ohio.her native state.There 1s a big kick against the breed pictures of the new Standard, the Rock and Buckeye fanciers being most mad.The Bucks surely look as if they were shot and missed, and no one will surely get the Buckeye fever who sees them.Miss Margaret Mahoney, rexiding near Boston, raised seventy-six young turkeys lust season at 4 cost ot $10 and sold them at a profit of $850, It was only ber third year's experience, too, und shows what a brainy, patient American girl can do If sbe does llve among the turkey pessimists of the turkey graveyard belt.A fancier that bas to hustle is the fellow who expects his birds to mature in time for fall fairs.The birds must be forced from January to Sep- (ember to get proper size apd feathering to win.Very good care must be tuken of such fowls or they will break down or molt and thus be unfit for winter shows.Chicken raisers at Mount Carmel, Pa.bave à big time with rats and wildcats.The rats gobble the chicks and the bobcats catch the' pullets that stray a-field without a chaperon.The ministerial association is in much agi tation over the situation.ten Eggs with thin shells are O e broken during the batch.and their contents, smenred over the others, cluses the pores, and the germs suf focate.Keep such eggs for cooking, and feed ground shell in tbe mash as a remedy.with all the booming of breeds the single comb White Leghorns still hold thelr place as the greatest layers.Go where you wiil you find these wonder- tui fowls doing the paying stunt, whether the flock be large or small, when they receive proper care.thereby, they contend, diminishing the purchasing Value of the sovereign, Lo.Moms, There are roses that bloom of a beauty so | NOVEMBER JUST GHANGE Many of the Interesting Contrivances of To-day Were Discovered by Mere Accident Many common objects of the present, many little personal adornments and useful articles which are seen and utilized by us day after day, have interesting though Mttle-known histcries of their own.Many of the contri vances of to-day were discovered through sheer chauce, Scap, for instance, wes the outcome of an accel dent.A woman found occasion 10 boll some lye of soda in an iron pot, and discovered that by so doing she had produccd a substance which would form a thick lather in water, and was a great help in removing dirt.This set her thinking, She remembered that the pot used was a dirty one, which had still remaining in It some vestiges of olive oll.This had combined with the lye of soda, and thus led to the discovery of soap.Do you know the meaning of the moustache?It has a deep symbolism.Several centuries ago, when a horde of Arabs and Berbes Invaded Spain, they seized the fertile southern slopes and drove the Christians who had been in posscasion, into the mountains of the north.Though these Moors, as the Arabs and Derbers were called, were mild and tolerant rulers in many ways, aud mixed marriages became common, there was constant strife resulting from the difference In creeds, and much confusion as to who were Moslems and who were Christians, It was therefore determined that the Christians should wear some badge of their faith by which they might always be known, and misunderstandings on this pcint avoided in the future.The moustache was grown by every male Christian in Spain, and this custom has been followed for hundreds of years.The moustache is supposed, with the nose, to form a rough representation of the Cross.The origin of the silk top hat may be traced to a little advertising scheme of à London haberdasher.In order to attract attention, this man walked out In the streets wearing the first sillk hat ever made.So great was the crowd that followed him that he was suspected of inciting a riot, and he was severely reprimanded by the magistrates, He had set a fash- fon, however, and silk hats became very popular.MISTAKEN IDENTITY O'Reilly Denled That His Name was \u201cO-blitherated\" In some country districts in Ireland, it is not unusual to see the owners\u2019 names simply chalked on traders\u2019 carts and other vehicles, in order

Victorla for Various Points on the Orlent Electrical ond mill machinery and farming implenients formed a large part of the cargo of the Japanese steamship Cannda Maru, which left recently for the Orient on her maiden voyage out from Victoria, The liners of the Osaka Shosen Kalsha line carry large shipmenis of machinery on every voyage out from the Sound besides much other freight.Machinery and farming implements leaving on the Canada Maru were valued at about $100,000, \u201cl'here were 467 cases of electrica) machinery and fixtures, valued at $30.178, and 229 pieces of mill

Indian potentates in the person of her Highness the Legum of Bhopal.lier Highness brought a large retinue, including a native doctor, saveral cooks and an astrologer.The Princ.ss (who is a rely ning

shoulders and remarkably few jewels, only a few showing In her hair and round her throat.The DLegum\u2019s rightful place was arparent\u2019y bitween the two great Princes, and it waz a most curlous eight to sce thc huge Maharatto draw himself up to his stately height, advance, and bow low and gracefully 10 his Sovereign's representative; then retiring, make way for the Begum, who, small though she was, showed no less dignity In her cbeisance; and after her Highness came the second of the huge Princes, all eyos being fixed on such an unuaual trio, even in that magnificent and fusplrinx

exactly the shape of a half-open hand.Even the nails arc identical, hard-pointed and claw-ike, tipping the orange flowers with a length equal, In some cases, to three Inches.It 18 no freak, but a proper kind of orange, belonging to a special variety.Thet ree Iteelf is a rugged little shrub that does not average more than five or six feet in height in its native home \u2014Japan.It does not grow straight, as the ordinary orange-tree should, but is curved in all directions.Even the branches grow in spiral or twisted forms, so that the width of the tree is often greater than the height.The fruit itself is of a pale yellow color, of a pure lemon hue, growing greenish toward the stem, The size ls immense, considering the smallness of the tree, the largest ones measuring when mature fully ten inches from the wrist to the point of the middle finger, including the nail.But the fruit is not good to eat, though what it lacks in flavor it more than makes good in perfume.Perhaps the strangest thing abewt this perfume is that it is the fruit sed not (he flower that is edorous.À GREAT COUNTRY + A Toronto Deputation'# Opinion of Northern Ontarlo A deputation of Toronto manufac turers and business men who visited Northern Ontario, returned fully convinced that a great country is In the making in that part of Canada.They expressed astonishment at the equipment and evidence of solld worth of the big mining properties.The manner {n which the ores and concentrates were handled was a revelation to many, and the solid and permanent character of the underworkings showed them that mining 1s a regular business, requiring much technical skill, application and courage.At the mines the visitors were given the same fare as furnished the miners, and they found it plain but wholesoms, tea from a tin cup not tasting half bad, while meat caten from an agate plate was just as sweet as from china, In and around Now Liskeard the visitors were shown as fine farms as aro to bo found anywhere in Canada.This 18 just at tho gateway to the great clay belt of which so much is expect ed.The farmers here are all well-to- do; the most of them have good bulld- ings, the latest machinery, and money In the bank.It was stated by s resident of New Liskeard that in buying machinery the majority of the farmers paid the money down on the spot in order to take tbe cash discount.Every sottler encountered was a booster for New Ontarlo.In the most of instances they were found to Ye men from Old Ontario who had withstood the temptations to be stampeded to the West.R.L.BORDEN Premier of Canada INQUIRING INTO VICE Important Investigations Undertaken by the Methodist Church The department of Moral and Soc:al Itoform of the Methodist Church In Canada has comurenced a \u201cvice\u201d inquiry\u201d to ascertain the moral condl- tions prevailing in various citlos in Cunada.Toronto has not yet been investic-ted, but will be in the near future.Work has already started in Moutreal, and some horrible circumstances have alrendy been reported, The investigations are being held along the lines of those held in Chicago prior to the publication of the now famous Chleugo Vice Report.INDUSTRY FOR CHATHAM A new industry, which will be known as the Chatham Cement and Tile Works, will locate in Chatham, Ont, and will commence to build two factories In the south-west factory district at once.No concessions were given by the city.SUGAR Suddenly and without warning to consumers, the price of sugar in nearly all parts of the world begun this summer to tise, Labe in September the price in the United States reached six and two-thivdy cents wholesale und seven cents retail, Not since 1889 has the price been so high, It is interesting, however, to recall the fact that the price was never so low fas seven eents a pound until 1885, In A870 the price was thirteen and u half cents, and it did not fall below ten cents until nearly ten tyears later, In the forty years sinee 1870 the price has been falling, and consumption and supply have heen steadily increasing.At present, this country uses enough sugar to give 50 pounds a year to every man, woman and child in it, Many European governments have paid bounties to encourage the manufacture of sugar, Inthe arly days of the practise, they taxed the refined sugar \u2018to raise the money for the bounties\u2014a course that, by forcing shopkeepers to raise the price of ithe pefined sugar, limited its home consumption, As a consequence, the manufacturers were forced to dump their surplus in whatever foreign market they could find\u2014to the serious themoratization vi the sugar trade, Upon this situation followed many international attempts uo tegusate bounties on the une hand, and oa the other, 00 (profert sugar manufacturers in countries wher: no bounties were paid, In Burope there is an agreement by which bounty- fed sugar, on entering a loreig) country, is taxed to the exisn.of the bounty, By the sam:2 agr.- ment, Russia, which produces mien more sugar than il consumes, and which pays a bounty to its manufacturers, is not (permitue:l to sil more than a fixed amount in the European market, Altho not a.party to Une European agreement, the United States has provided in its tariff kaw thattounty fod sugar must pay not only the regular duty, but in additionas duty equal to \u201che hounty, For several years jt has enforced this provision against Russian pugar.At the present \u2018ime, Russia has almost a million \u201cons ol sugar which, but for hostile tarif! regusa- tions, might be sold in Europe and America, Jf this Russian sugar could be sold frecly, the availablz supply, which is pmall on account of a short crop, would be increased, and the price would drop,

ratepayer, If Constant Reader were to look over the tax account of a gentleman living in any of the large cities of England, occupying relatively the same position au he does in Montreal, he would have reason to congratulate himself \u2018tha he had lived for the last fifteen years even under Liberal administration, At the time of a threatened outbreak some few vears ago the present premier, then leader af the opposition, and Six Wilfrid Laurier, together agreed that it was time that Canada did something towards the defence of the Empire, hence the naval bill, The writer has never heard it argued that that was to be merely n savy for the protection of Canadian interests, as it would hardly have availed in contact with the navy af the United States, and the Munroe doctrine practically

what was being done by the land grant coiteges cf the federat government and by experiment stations and by the spreading of information bearing on the farm, and of the co-operation of the federal and state agricultura) departments, Then he described the latest proposition in the work of spreading agriqultural knowledge, He said- | \u201cIt is now proposed to organize a force of 8000 men, one to

fare, which the conductos refused, | The man sued the company for damages, but Judge Dorion, who tried the case, held $5 was an unreasonable amount with which to pay Scents, The judge declared that according to strict law a conductor need not make change for even a ten-cent piece, as it is presumed that passengers, on embarking on a car, know exactly what they have to pay for their fare, and should have the necessary piece, However, according to law tempered by usage, $2 was regarded as a reasonable amount, Another decision is of interest to those who use street cars, Benjamin Howden sued the company for $1900, representing that on June 21, 1910, whilst he was boarding a car at the corner of St.Peter and Common streets, the car was suddenly put into motion, with the result that he was thrown to the street and sustained injuries, It being proved Howden had attempted to jump on while the was in motion, he got nothing, Judge Greenshields ruling that a passenger who endeavors to board a street car in motion does so at his own risk, and cannot sense- quently secure redress from the company for damages accruing to him as a result of an accident resulting from his attempt to get on

bill, but he assured his hearers that in principle the details will prove satisfactory to the Nationalists and will be thefinal settlement from both financial and political standpoints, The United States army department has ordered that every otficer and man in the regular army of the United States who is under 45 years of age, and who has not been rendered immune, shall be inoculated with anti-typhoid serum as a protection against typhoid, .\"this measure of protection has proved îts value in the Philippines, and experience gained there seems to have justified the radical action now decided upon More than 80,000 Jews left Russia in 1910, of whom no fewer than 60,000 are now settled in the United States, while of the remainder a large proportion have established themselves in Canada, and the rest in the Argenitne, Brazil, and Palestine.Most of these emigrants have been set up in farming by the association, and the preference shown by these Jews for English-speaking countries is a matter upon which leading Jews comment favorably, A decision has been rendered by \u2018the Vatican at Rome on the question of marriage which can scarcely fail to result in serious trouble, Some time ago Emma Eames, a non-Cath- olic, made an unsatisfactory nuptial union, which was followed by divorce, Emma subsequently joined the Catholic church and consummated another marriage in France, The religious validity of this mar- age being questioned the matter was referned to the Vatican authorities, which have rendered the following verdict\u2014\u201cThe Vatican explains that

inborn dramatic genius shining forth, After two topical songs by Mr Steel, and a few words from Dr Walsh, Mr Shatford gave the address of the evening, which was worthy of his reputation, He remarked on how thanksgiving day was the nly outward bond of union between the several churches of the Dominion and the only declaration by the State of connection with religion, On thanksgiving day the government called on all to unite in returning thanks to God for the mercies he had vouchsafed our nation, In rapid succession the speaker touched on the different aspects of thanksgiving\u2014the danger that arose from great material prosperity in forgetting to do our duty, the need of renewed consecration, and the forms gratitude should take, \u2014St, Andrew\u2019s congregation proceeded on Sunday 2vening to the Methodist church where a united thanksgiving service was held There was a large attendance, The first part of the service was led by the pastor, Rev, R, Smith, while the Rev.J.B.Maclean preached, In the course of his sermon he expressed his dissatisfaction with \u2018the changing of thanksgiving from a Thursday to a Monday, So doing might suit commercial circles and those who looked upon the day as a holiday but it robbed the anniversary of its religious character, for it was impossible to hold a second service so close to those où Sunday, At the offertory, which was for the general hospital and amounted to $29, Miss Marion Wilson sang a sacred solo with much sweetness, ~Mr Middleton has closed his creamery, the deliveries of milk having shrunk to na point that ceased to pay expenses, ~The weather on Monday was fine for a closing day in October, Roads were excellent and there was a good deal pf driving, The trains on both railways brought a large number on Saturday to spend thanksgiving with the \u201cold folk\u201d \u2014For outside work the building season has closed It has seen a larger addition of new houses to Huntingdon than the village has known for some time, which is remarkable, considering she high price of umber, rate of wages, and scarcity of workmen, The first house finished was one us a residence for Station-master Fraser, It was built by his brother-in-law from the Eastern Townships and is most conveniently laid out and finely finished, West of it, on the other side of the road is another cottage by J, C.Quinn, similar to the two he had built previously, It is ja six room house and awaits a purchaser, We hope Mr Quinn may be encouraged to continue building, until his row reaches the plank road, Between him and Mr Durnin they have it in their power to make York street one of the handsomest residential streets in the village, The greatest outlay in building was made by the nuns, who erected a wing that overshadows the original building, With an addition to the priest's house and other improvements there has been an outlay approaching $20,000 Then there is the curling rink, reputed to be the best in the province outside Montreal, It faces the skating rink and is quite a sightly structure, It is 168 feet long by 40 in width and will have two sheets of ice 16 feet wide, It is substantially built, being placed on a concrete wall, is well-lighted and covered with shingles, It \u201cWas built by Arthur Farquhar, who has shown much skill in framing eo unusual a building, Its cost is going to exceed $2000, Thanksgiving day the members of the club turned out to hold a bee to level the su:faca, Wi.h the first sharp frost it can be made fit for the roarin game, The skating rink has been greatly improved in appearance by the removal of the annexes, formerly used for curling, and by putting in more windows, Coming towards the front street the large residence in course of construction for A, Philps is prominent, It will not be ready for occupation until the spring and is going to be one of the finest dif not the finest) residences in the district, The finishing is going to te novel in several ways, a sample being the pebble outside chimney, In a line with it, on the front street, is the Braithwaite block, Purchasing old St, Andrew?church, the bio hers have erected an extension between it and the dtreet, the full width of the old church and three stories high, making it the most striking appearing building on Huntingden's - \u2014Priday evening the ladies of the guild gave a thanksgiving supper in the lecture-room pf St.John's church, which was crowded, After supper the rector, Rev, H, Godard, took the chair, and dwelt on several of the blessings for which Canadians have cause to be thankful, emphasizing in particular our being spared the horrors of war and the independence of party ties shown by so many electors in the recent Er business street, It is a frame structure with a concrete foundation, sheeted with metal, The front is imposing.The ground flat is to the fair ground, Besides the houses be as handsome a hardware store as can be found, It will not be ready to mse for some time.The church is used as a back-store, The two upper flats are divided into two G-room tenements, which are about fit for occupation, Hassan & Hampson are doing the finishing and they are certainly doing themselves credit, A.A.Gilmore is the contractor both of this block and of Mr Philps\u2019 residence, und has enhanced his reputation thereby an an architect and builder, He had also the remodelling of John Find- lay\u2019s house, skilfully removing the roof and adding a third story wiih- out disturbing the occupants of the lower flats, A new wing in thejear gives zdditional bedrooms, a second dining-room, and a kitchen commodious enough for Mrs Findlay\u2019: catering to her numerous boarders Her house is always ful, her reputation bringing wnore applicants than she can accommodate, West of the Findlay house, which ia really a new one, is the beautifully designed residence of W.F, Stephen, which is quite an mddition to the section that has been named the Westmount of Huntingdon, It is mow in the hands of the plasterer and will not be completed for some time, It is being built by R, H.Crawford, who also designed it Mr Crawford, who has had ia busy summer's work at a distance, has just finished a comfortable house for Mr Reginald Graham, a short distance east of the fair ground Besides the houses enumerated there have been additions to the back-village, none ol special value, When the new bridge is added, likely to cost $10,000, it will be seen workmen have had a busy time and that there has been a large expenditure in wages, Strange to say, all the buildings, with the exception of the convent, are frame structures.Tho not an edifice, not the least of the village improvements were those made by the Hunter brothers.Putting in their cement dam and flume took the price of a farm.By what they have done they get the good of all the water in the river.\u2014The annual ball of the Hunting- don and Chateauguay Amateur Baseball association was held in Moir hall Monday evening, Over a hundred couples were present, and that it was one of the most enjoy= able gatherings of its kind held for some time is beyond a doubt, After refreshments had been served, the baseball trophy was presented by its donor, Jas, A, Robb, M.P,, to Dr.W.McLaren, who received it for the Ormstown club, winners for this year\u2019s series, Mr Robb and Dr Mc- Laren made

digested the situation.He spent the rest of the after noon about the place playing with Bobby.Three or four times he called up Carroll by telephone.After dinner they sat on the porch until Bobby's bedtime.Orde put bis small son to bed and sat talking with the youngster as long as bis couscience would permit Then he retired to the library.Suddenly Orde leaned forward, bis senses at the keenest attention.After a moment he arose and quietly walked toward the open window.Just as he reached the casement and looked out & man looked in.The two stared at each other not two feet apart.\u201cGood Lord, Heinzman!\u201d cried Orde.\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u2019 be demanded.\u201cDake me somewbheres,\u201d he whispered hoarsely.*l baf broke quarantine, and dey vill be after me.\u201d \u201cWhat do you mean by coming bere and exposing my house to infection?\u201d Heinzman began to blubber and cried aloud In greatest agony: \u201c1 haf somedings to say to you.\u201d He grasped Orde by the arm.\u201cDey are dere mit shotguns to kill me if 1 broke quarantine.And I baf left my daughter, my daughter Mipa, all alone to come and tell you.And now you don't listen.\u201d \u201cCome with me,\u201d said Orde briefly.He led the way around the house to the tool shed aod lit a lantern.Heinzman sat down on a nail keg.Orde looked at him curlously.He was half dressed.without a collar, bis thin hair unkempt.His eyes burved bright as though from some internal fire.\u201cWhat is it?\" asked Orde.\u201cAch, Orde,\u201d cried the German, \u201cI am tortured mi bollenqgualie\u2014what you

She might take the disease; she might die.It vas noble.\u201d He shuddered.\u201cMy Mina left to die all alone!\u201d Orde rose to nis feet.\u201cThat is all right,\u201d said he.Jet me get you home.\u201d \u201cNo!\u201d cried Heinzman.\u201cListen to me! 1 hat your note for sefenty-five t'ousand dollars.No?Orde nodded.\u201cDot money 1 never lent you.No!

And ven I sit dere by ber always something ask me, \u2018Vy you do dot to the peoples dot safe your Mina?\" His excitement died.\u201cHave you that pote?\u201d asked Orde, \u201cIt is at my office for the foreclosure.I vill not foreclose.He can send me to the penitentiary.\u201d \u201cTelepbone Lambert in tbe morning to give it to we.No\u2014bere.Write an order in this notebook.Heinzman wrote tbe required order.\u201cI go.\u201d said he, suddenly weary.Orde accompanied bim down tbe street and succeeded in slipping him through the improvised quarantine, Morning found Orde still seated In the library chair.His bead was sunk forward on his cbest; his hands were exteuded, listiess, paims up, along the arms of the chair; bis eyes were vacant and troubled.When the full sun shone into the library he aroused himself to change bis clothes.Then, carryiug those be had just discarded, be slipped out of the bouse and down the street.He paused only long enough to telephone from the oflice telling Carroll he would be out of town all day.Then be set out at a long swinging gait over the hills, miles from the village and in the high beech woods.\u2018I'bere he sat down, his back to a monster tree.All day long he gazed steadily on the shifting shadows and splotches of sunlight; on the patches of blue sky, the dazzling white clouds tbat sailed across them; on the waving, whispering frond that overarched him and the deep cool shadows beneath, At evening Orde shook himself and arose.He reached home a little before 6 o'clock.He found Taylor awaiting him, \u201c1 bave things pretty well fn shape\u201d KDE did not return to the vffice.O He felt unwilling to face New- \u201cNow It vas a \u201c1 wouldn't say that,\u201d replied Taylor, \u201cLut you cnn rest easy as to the title to

on it?\u201d \u201cNot for a year or two, i should say.There's an awful Jot of red tape to unwind.\u201d \u201c0b,\u201d sald Orde in some disappointment.Taylor besitated.\u201c1 bave sometLing more to tell you\u2014 something that will be painful,\u201d said he Orde looked up quickly.\u201cWell, wbat is it7° \u201cTbe general cussedness of all thls investigation business bad me puzzled until at last 1 made up my mind to do a little investigating on my own account 'I'bere was one mau behind all this.He was\u201d\u2014 \u201cJoe Newmark,\u201d said Orde quietly.\u201cHow did you kuow that?\u201d *1 just guessed.\u201d \u201cWell, it was Newwark.He tled up the land in this trumped up investigation so you could not borrow on it\u201d \u201cHow did be tind out | owned any land?\u201d asked Orde.\u2018\u201cl\u2019hat | couldu't tell you.Must bave beeb a leuk somewbere.\u201d Orde did not wish to return to the office until he had worked his problem out, so to lend his absence the color of naturalness he drove back next morning to the booms.In the evening he went direct to Newmark's.\u201cMr.Newmark is out, sir,\u201d said Mal.lock and started to close the door.But Orde thrust his foot and knee in the opening.\u201cI'll come in and wait,\u201d sald he quietly.\u201cYes, sir; this way, sir,\u201d said Mal.lock, trying to indicate the dining room.Orde caught tbe aroma of tobacco.He turned the knob of the door and entered the library.There be found Newark in evening dress, seated lu a low easy chair beneath a lamp, smoking and reading a magazine.At Urde's uppeurauce lo the doorway he iovked up calmly, bis paper knife poised, keeplug the place.Orde entered the roo and mechan ically sut down.\u201cNewm:rk,\u201d Urde begun abruptly, \"1 Enow ail «bout this arrangement

you bad the money to lend why didn\u2019t you lend it direct ?* \u201cBecause it louks better to mortgage to an outside holder.\u201d \u201cThat wus not the reason,\u201d went on Orde.\u201cYou ugreed with Helozwan to divide when you succeeded In foreclosing me out of the timberlands given as security.Furtberipore, you instructed Floyd to go out on the eve of that blow tn spite of his warnings, aod yuu contracted with McLeod for the Dew vessels, aud you've tied us up right and left for the sole purpose of pinching us down where we couldn't meet tbose notes.\u2018That's the only reason you borrowed the seventy-tive thousand on sour own sccount\u2014so we couldn't borrow it to save ourselves.\u201d \u201cIt strikes me you are interesting, but inconclusive,\u201d suid Newmark as Orde paused again.\u201cThat sort of thing ls somewhat of a facer,\u201d went on Orde without the slightest attention to the iuterjection.\u201cIt took me some days to work it ou\u201c in all its

dealing with blundering fools.Heinzinan's mortgage will be foreclosed.and you will hand over as per the agreement your Boom company stock.\u201d Orde stared at him in amazement.\u201cI must say you have good nerve,\u201d he sald.\u201cYou don't seem to realize that you are pretty well tangled up.| don't know what they call it\u2014criminal conspiracy or something of that sort, I suppose.So far from handing over to you the bulk of my property I can send you to the penitentiary.\u201d \u201cNonsense,\u201d rejoined Newmark, leaning forward in his turn.\u201cil know you too well, Jack

playing.\u201cWhat 1s it?\" asked Newmark at last.\u201cHelnzman died of smallpox at 4 o'clock this afternoon,\u201d sald Orde.Newmark's face went slowly gray.For a full minute he sat absolutely motionless, \u201cWhere are you going?\u2019 asked Orde quietly.\u201cI'm going to get myself a drink in my bedroom,\u201d he snapped \u201cAny ob- Jections T° \u201cNo.After you get your drink ! want

disinfected.had been banded hi by Dr.McMullen as (important.Then he arose to his feet and glided softly across the room to take a position close to the door through which Newmark bad departed.Finally the door swung briskly inward.Like a panther Orde sprang forward.He pinioned Newmark's arms to his side, where he held them Immovable with one of bis own.The other hand be ran down Newmark's right arm to the pocket.There followed an instant of resistance.With a sharp cry of pain Newmark snatched his band out and gazed amazedly at the half crushed fingers.Orde drew forth the revolver Newmark had

studied the habits of Dame Nature's English nursiings.I'be lark, the nightingale, the owl and the linnet were his favorite birds.He was also greatly interested In the sea birds, the peregrine falcons, the cormorants, seagulls, etc., and In the long legged sca birds, the visitors to marshes and pools.He thought the curlew, of which be has writtev lo \u201cLocksley Hall,\u201d a very noble bird and loved its wild call over the marshes.There are many references to birds native to England in his poems, and all of them show a thorough acquaintance with the Individual characteristics of the different species, At Farringford the poet's garden was the bowe of the wild birds of the bedgerows.The blacklLird and robin and tbe sinaller birds tlocked there in great sumbers, aud it wns cousidered far more Important that they sbould feel welcotne there than that the fruit should be permitted to ripen undisturdb- ed or the garden Le kept In proper order.Domesticated birds also Tennyson numbered among Lis friends.Brilliant peacocks and more sober doves and pigeons, he loved them all.Good News, \u201cMy dear, our landlord says he's go lng to raise our rent.\u201d : \u201cGlad

that he gained experience as a commercial traveler which has been of inestimable value to him, while Bir Robert Ropner, when M.P.for Btock- ton, owed much of the great success of his business career to the training he went through as \u2018an ambassador j of commerce,\u201d The first great step in life that Richard Cobden obtained was when he was promoted from clerk to commer- clal traveler, and

hundred years hence?None but a \u201cwizard\u201d dare raise the curtain and disclose the secrets of the future; and what wizard can do it with so sure a hand as Thomas Alva Edison, who has wrested so many secrets from jealous Nature?He alone of all men who live has the necessary courage and gift of foresight; and he has not shrunk from the venture, Already, Edison tells us, the steam- engine Is emitting its last gasps.A century hence it will be as remote an antiquity as the lumbering coach of ; Tudor days, which took a week to travel from Yorkshire to London.In the year 2011 such rallway-trains as survive will be driven at incredible speeds by electricity (which will also be the motive force of all the world's machinery), generated by \u201chydraulic\u201d wheels.But the traveller of the future will largely scorn such earth-crawling.He will fly through the air, swifter than any swallow, at a speed of two hundred miles an hour, in colossal machines which will enable him to breakfast in London; transact business in Paris, and cat his luncheon in Cheap- side.Steel Cradles for Babies The house of the next century will be furnished from basement to attic with steel, at a sixth of the present cost\u2014of steel so light that it will be a8 easy to move a sideboard as it is to-day to lift a drawing-room chalr.The baby of the twenty-first century will be rocked in a steel cradle; his father will sit in a steel chair at a steel dining-table; and his mothers boudoir will be sumptuously equipped with steel furnishings, converted by cunning varnishes to the semblance ef rosewood org mahogany, or any other wood her ladyship fancies.Books of the coming century will all be printed on leaves of nickel, so light to hold that the reader can enjoy a small library in a single volume.A book two inches thick will contain forty thousand pages, the equivalent of a hundred substantial volumes of to-day; three such volumes, six inches in aggregate thickness, would suffice lor all the contents of the \u201cEncyclo paedia Britannica.\u201d And each volume would welgh less than a pound.Already Mr.Edison can produce a pound-weight of these nickel leaves, more flexible than paper, and ten times as durable, at & oost of $1.25.In a hundred years\u2019 time the eost will probably be reduced to a tenth.More amazing still, this American wizard sounds the death-knell of gold as 8 precious metal.\u201cGold,\u201d he says, \u201cbas even now but a few years to live; the day is near when bars of it wil] be as common and as cheap as bars of iron or blocks of steel\u201d We are already on the verge of discovering the secret of transmuting metals, which are all substantially the same in matter, though \u201ccombined in different proportions.\u201d Before long it will be an easy matter to convert a truck-load of iron bars into as many bars of virgin gold.We Shall Not be Here In these\u2019 magical days to come there is no reason why our great liners should not be of solid gold from stem to stern; why we should not ride in golden taxi-cabs; or substitute gold for steel in our drawing-room suites, Only, steel will be the more durable, and, thus the cheaper in the long run, And in the world of manufacture the changes of the next hundred years will be just as revolutionary.Where we have now a score of machines, each responsible for a stage of manufacture, one will suffice.\u201cBefore long,\u201d says Mr.Edison, without a twinkle in his eye, and cer tainly without his tongue in his cheek, \u201cwe shall have a machine into one end of which you will put cloth, thread, buttons, and so on, and from the other end draw suits complete to the lagt stitch, and ready folded for delivery.\" All our present marvels of phonograph and telephone and aerial tele: graphy are but blind gropings in the dark compared with the light that shall flood the next century, The Briton of 2011 will he ahie to sit in his armchair and converse with his son at the Cape, or with a friend In Melbourne, as easily as acrogs the hearthrug; and not merely to llgten to his friend's or his son's voice, but to see each of them as clearly as it le were in the same room.FOR DOING NOTHING Some Fat Salaries That Were Easily Earned \u2014 Uncle Sam has been \u2018getting a move\u201d on him lately, and, as the result of exercising his lynx eyes, has been successful in saving $180,000 a year of the public money which hag hitherto been paid to people in the way of salaries for doing nothing.For decades past there have been some Bnug little jobs connected with the House of Representatives.Apparently, however, some Paul Pry discovered these sinecures, a committee investigated them, and their report hag provided one of the most inter esting documents produced by the American Parliament for a long time.One striking example of the \u201cwaste of public salary funds,\u201d as a chairman of the committee describes it, was the discovery that a thirteen-year-old girl, the daughter of the chief doorkeeper of the Congress, was on the pay-roll as \u201cclerk of the doorkeeper\u201d at a gal: ary of $1,800 per annum, and an extra months\u2019 pay each year as a vacation gratuity.And although they made the closest investigations, the committee were quite unable to discover exactly what the functions of this minor official were, Then there were thirty-eight extra licemen authorized when, during the panish-American War, It was reported that there was a plot to dynamite the Capitol, who were still ôn the payroll, costing annually $89,000, Twq telegraph operators, drawin $1.400 esch, and assigned to a wire long ago discontinued, were also still on the pay-sheet.By abolishing the salaries of employes of the \u201cclerks\u2019 document room,\u201d which room was itself abolished sixteen years ago, $6,000 per an- num has been saved, and pn pimont equal sum by stopping the pay of employes designated at \u201cattendants in the library,\u201d the library having been removed many years ago from the Cavitol, a.RER A FLAME OF GAS AROUND THE WORLD Montreal Uses Enough Gas Annually to Make Solid Band of Fire Around Globe \u2014_\u2014 With an annual gas bill of approximately $15,000,000 and a yearly consumption of gas amounting to 18,000, 000,000 cubic feet, or enough to make & solid band of flame around the earth at the equator for one night, the gas question in Montreal has long been the city's most annoying problem.Further back than the oldest inhabitant can remember it has been the subject of investigation, legislation and litigation.For that reason Mont- realers, and especially those who are concerned with the operation of public service corporations, are keenly Interested in noting the success of a plan of automatic public regulation adopted by the Ladleds Gas Company in St.Louis under the direction of Adolphus Busch, W.K.Bixby, and other prominent capitalists of that city.This plan provides that as the price of gas goes down the dividends .of the stockholders in the corpora- tion shall be allowed to go up.The public In this way is allowed to share in the benefits of increased businezs, and there is consequently no chance for controversy as to whether the company is making undue profits from {ts charges to the public, since increases in profits are accompanied by savings to the consumers.Under this plan the price of gas in St.Louis was recently reduced from a dollar to eighty cents at the same time that the dividend to the stockholders was increased from six to seven per cent.and the adoption of the policy actually has added to the financial strength of the company.Mr.Busch and his associates adopted this plan of their own volition in St, Louis, but in many English citics the same device is in operation under authority of the law.Mt.H.S.Holt, President of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company, now comes forward with the statement that if Montrealers desire it, his company stands ready to adopt this system.Technleally it is known as the London Sliding Scale, it first having been adopted in London, England, many years ago.Whose death occurred at Toronto.The late Archbishop had oharge of the Toronto dioceses for @ number ot years.\u2014 THOSE BRAINY SCOTS!

In wearing a beard Charles I.followed the example of his father James, and, as ho was a Scottish before .he was an English King, he probablp followed the fashion of his predecessors in the northern kingdom, for he was preceded by two Queens and a boy King, and had no precedent in this respect to follow, even If he had desired one.Henry VIII, nearly a hundred years before James l\u2019s time, had been as much an innovator in respect to whiskers ag Edward VII.was; for, like our late King, thls much-married monarch could look back upon several barefaced predecessors without a break, for none of the Kings from Henry V.to Henry VII, wore the least hair upon thelr faces.Prior to Henry V.'s time, however, beards might be sald to be almost the rule; and, indeed, from William I, in 1066, to the death of Henry IV.in 1413.no King sat on the English throne who was clean-shaven.The Conqueror and his two sons and sue cessors were content with a moustache only, as were Henry II.ang Richard IL; but Richard the Lion .Hearted would seem to have made the beard fashionable, for his brother John, Henry III, and the first three Edwards entirely gave the razor the go-by.Thus, though George V.Is the first of his name to wear a beard, Edwarq VII.was only following the example of his most famous predecessors, Thus out of the thirty-three kings who have ruled In England, the beard- wearers and the clean-shaven almost provide a tle, for there are thirteen of the former and fourteen of the latter, Six Kings wore moustaches.+ AFTER FORTY YEARS Frank Moberly Tells of the Remarkable Growth of Edmonton i After forty years\u2019 absence from Edmonton, Frank Moberly, who last visi- - ted the site of the city in 1871 as engineer in charge of the C.P.R.explorations between Fort Garry and the Yellow Head Pass, returned to see the city which has grown up ca the site of the fort which he knew, \u201cWhen 1 arrived here in 1871,\u201d said Mr.Moberly, \u201cthe only house outside the stockade of the Hudson's Bay fort was the residence of Rev.George McDougall, the ploneer missionary, who later was found frozen to death in southern Alberta.\u201d Malcolm Groat and Pere LeDuc êre probably the only persons alive in Ildmonton who were living in that city at the time.In 1871 there was nothing in the direct line between Pembroke on the Ottawa and New Westminster on the British Columbia coast but Fort Garry with 250 population.In all that grea there were only three permanent buildings, Lower Fort Garry, St.John's cathedral, and the bastions at Upper Fort Garry, Mr.Moberly had many interesting stories to tell of his experience in the early days, among them a story of meat which he had in a tepee of Poundmaker, the Indian chief, whose: name is remembered in assoc with the Riel Rebellion.On one oom sion he was lost with a companion in mid-winter between Fort Edmonton and the Yellow Head Pass, Both wera exhausted and almost hopeless.Before settling down in camp which they had made when they found they were too weak to proceed, Mr.Moberly called at the top of hig voice, and thm answering bark of 3 dog revealed that they had stumhled upon the camp of pires Montana miners, who had come © Saskatchew : for gold, an prospecting With the exception o McDonald, Fort QueA prit, Nr paid berly is the phdest magistrate for the -west, havin .mission In\u2019 1870 & received his com SL tr i TREMENDOUS WHALE The largest whale of its t of which there is scientific a.captured recently off Port Arthur, Texas.He measured 63 feet In length, and was estimated to be about 300 years old.Capt, Cab Plummer, \u2018mato of a United States pilot boat, sighted the monster in the shoals off the jot- tles, and the crew of his vessel captured the mammal, The huge body was towed ashore, exhibited and much photographed before being cut up.PROTECTION OF SMALL BIRDS | Gironde, France, is convinced that the continually increasing numbers of enemies 6f cropa.and especially of the Insects so harmtul to vines, Cocky~ Us and Eudemis, 18 due to à great extent to the disappearance of small birde.The society, therefore, hag in- vtted all the agricultural associations of France to unite and insist upon the protection of thesg valuable auxillas les of the farmer.! ra Tha Canadian Gleaner is printed each Thursday at noon by Robert: Sellar, at his office on Chateauguay- street, Huntingdon,Q.Subscription 81 per year.U.S, subscribers $1.50.Papers discontinued when the time for which they have been paid expires, No exception to this rule so that subscribers who paper, should renew before their time is wp.The date to which ind.No advertisement inserted fading-mutiay.» ROAR [ET Bary sulsoription is paid is denoted on th ¥ddy, ve The Agricultural Society of the , \u2019 2 desire to continue receiving the Je "]
