T.AMES GARAGES AT DERBY LINE, VT., .ROCK ISLAND, QUE.I shall give my customers the benefit of CANADIAN TOYS.Industry Taken From Germany is Now Here to Btay.Canadian brains and ingenuity will provide for Santa Claus many novelties to lease \u2018\u2018good\u2019\u201d children at Yuletide.Hitherto the Christmas trees have been laden with the awd- ry and flimsy, but nevertheless the only thing thgt served the purpose, \u2018\u201cmade-in-Germany'\u2019 article.In a supplement to the Weekly Bulletin of the Department of Trade and Commerce we are told that the value of the annual export of toys from Germany to foreign countries was about $25,000,000, a sum that equals the value of the output of men's clothing factories in Canada during the year of 1910, the year of the last manufacturing census.It Germany re- | cetved for the toys she exported the ; sum of $25,000,00, it is safe to say that those who bought them to please the children, paid for them at least $60,000,000, Of the large exports of Germany, Canada took in 1914 $679,547, and in the following year $247,000, and since that time none at all.But more toys were brought !in from the United States.To the British Empire toys were gent from German factories \u2018to the value of $7,500,000 annually.of course since the war this demand has bad to be met from other sources, and inquiries from abroad are reaching Canada in continually increasing volume, and it would appear, from what the toy merchants say, that very substantial progress Is being made in the Dominion in the making of toys which are taking well with the trade and with (he children, and are also attracting buyers from abroad.And yet, however, the many new industries, which number betwen forty and fifty, are quite unable to supply the home demand for many popular toys of domestic design and manufacture, When, soon after the war, there was a dearth of novelties, an effort was made by the toymen to direct ingenuity into giving attention to produc- | ing something distinctly Canadian in character, and they have been successful, Copying the German product was avoided studiously, of the Dominion are being cut and shaped so as to make British Dreadnoughts and Canadian flying machines.Dolls\u2019 carriages and wagons of an attractive appearance, and substantial, are taking the place of the besmeared frailties that were previously imported.Already the toy industry tends to settle in localities where the people show aptitude for the work.Here is one instance.A toy was being made in large quantities on Bathurst street, Toronto, when an enterprising agent showed the factory owner that he could produce the toy very much cheaper in that particular town than he could in Toronto.An investigation resulted in the removal of the industry to Quebec.The deciding factors were that the cuttings from a certain mill could be had at less than $10 a thousand, the mother in her home would make sails, while the older children would make other parts of the mill, Meanwhile the head of the house worked in the sawmill.In this way the whole family was employed.This is a reproduction of conditions in Europe, where the toy-making industry developed to such big proportions.Possibly the real factor in this instance was the obtaining of cheaper labor.Toys of which pulp and paper are the chief materials used in their making are coming largely from Quebec.Distinctly new and ingen- fous ideas originated more largely in Ontario.The \u2018\u2018Siege of Berlin\u201d 1s a conception originating in that Province.It does not matter where the idea originated, the manufacture of the article will ultimately go to the localities where the cost of production is lowest.Oxford's Oldest Resident.The death occurred in Woodstock recently of Oxford County's oldest resident in the person of Maurice Egan, who passed away in bis 102nd year.Up till a few weeks ago he enjoyed the best of health, but the protracted spell of hot weather weakened him.His mental faculties were active almost to the last.The late Maurice Egan was born at Spike Bay, in the Cove of Cork, Ireland.In 1831, he came to Canada with his parents, landing at Quebec, where he lived three years.In 1834 he moved to Woodstock.At that time this place was composed of about a dozen log shanties and a Baptist mission house.Shortly after arriving his father was granted 100 acres of land in Zorra by the British Government.Both he and his father served in the rebellion of 1837-38.In 1840 he left Woodstock and drove to Hamilton, and thence to Toronto, and engaged in business for a short time.He returned to Woodstock in 1845 and has lived here continuously ever since.He was one of the first Catholics to locate in Woodstock and he always took a keen interest in the affairs of his chureb.Four sons and one daughter survive, New Copper Fields.The discovery by the Canadian Arctic expedition headed by Vilhjal- mur Stefansson of a great field of native copper in the vicinity of Copper Mine River, in the neighborhood of Prince Albert Island, will prove of great value to the business world, says Dr.Chester A.Reeds, of the American Museum of Natural History.Dr.Reeds believed also that it will afford scientists an opportunity for displaying their ingenuity in nding an outlet from a region that is still unopened in a commercial sense, The work of the party, which arrived in Nome, Alaska, recently, is expected to prove valuable in determining the direction of winds and the movement of tides in the Polar region.Dr.Reeds said this work might go a long way to prove or disprove the theory that an unknown continent exists in the great unexplored region north of Alaska and west and north-west of Greenland, hence \u2018the chips that fall from the sawmills ROLIDAY IN THE FTELD.How Troops in Macedonia Are Fighting the Hot Weather.A rather novel idea of a summer nolidav for troops in the field near Salcnica is being realised by the French during the prevailing heat, which in treeless Macedonian ie severely felt.The officers commanding the units which are away from the frontier are ordered to arrange for ten men to have a ten days\u2019 suspension of work, so that while remaining, of course, with the regiment, sll in turn will be allowed to knock off for that length of time and ve under conditions of agreeable repose, reading novels, smoking cigarettes, and playing cards, as if they were staying at a holiday camp in peace-time.With proper organization the work of the various units will be carried on just the same, and there is no doubt that this measure will greatly benefit the health of the men, In comparative freedom from malaria, the army is reaping tha fruits of the thorough steps taken hy tbe Medical Service last spring to destroy the breeding-places of mosquitoes.A map was prepared showing every rivulet, pool, and swamp.Some of the swamps were very large, being a mile or so long, but Greek {labor was engaged, and

owing ' to its being situated in Europe, life is organized as if nothing more torrid were to be expected than an English June.Sun-helmets, smoked spectacles, puggarees, and light drill clothes have all had to be adopted, as the thermometer has climbed relentlessly higher.Troops are authorized now to do all their work in their shirt-sleeves and shorts, and, though it seemed curious at first to see even Sergeant-majors with collarless grey shirts wide open at the neck and their badges of rank taken off their tunic and loosely tacked nn to their arm, the cffect on the whole 18 quite workmanlike.For the troops at the base there is great compensation this weather in sea-bath- ing.The waters of this transports and warships for eight or nine months, make the Thames off Woolwich quite pellucid by comparison, but nevertheless the sea every afternoon has the pink fringe of bathing Tommies.Up-country men have In many places dug small plunge-baths alongaide the fast- dwindling streams.For cleanliness the English soldier is insatiable and a standing marvel to the native people, whose personal ablutions often cease entirely with the bath given them at baptism.Lucky are troops

street, which fetched £260,- 000, again calls to mind the amazing value of land in London.Not long ago a tiny piece of ground at Charing Cross, adjoining the Mall archway, and comprising only 461% square feet, with a frontage of 69 feet, was sold by the London County Council to an insurance company for £11,737, which works out at £1,100,- 000 an acre.It 18 in the city, the square mile of which is valued at £250,000,000, however, where land can easily claim the distinction of being the dearest in the world.For property near the centre of the city £3,250,000 an acre is not an unusual price.Portions of Cannon street, Queen Victoria street, Upper Thames street, and St.Mary-at-Hill are said to be worth about five shillings a square inch, while on Lombard street and King William street land has been sold for £40, £50, £60, and £70 per square foot freehold.The three acres on which the Bank of England stands would realize at a low estimate £7,000,000, for the land adjoining has sold at £70 and £80 a square foot, On King street, Cheapside, £13 10s a foot was paid for a piece of land last year.Land at the june- tion of Old Broad street and Thread- needle street changed hands for nearly £70 a square foot.Land in Cornhill was sold at a price which worked out at £2,452,023 an acre, while some time ago £1,000,000 was offered and refused for the site of a church in Austin Friars.-\u2014\u2014London Tit-Bits.South African Poisons, Invesigation work on the drugs and poisonous plants of South Africa has been proceeding for some time at the Imperial Institute.The results obtained are interesting and valuable Moiteno disease, a cattle and horse disease prevalent in certain parts of the Union of South Africa, has been definitely traced to the presence of a poisonous alkaloid in a plant eaten by the animals.This plant is Sene- ciolatifolius, a near relative of the common grondsel of this country.\u2018Capeslangkop,\u201d a plant belonging to the lily family, which causes cattle poison in other districts of the Union, contains a poisonous gluco- | side similar in action to that found in the common foxglove.Among other South African plants of which the properties

England and France Will Yet Be Linked Under the Waves, There seems to be fair promise that, after the war, another of the great engineering feats of the world will be seen in the long-delayed construction of the Channel Tunnel frosa Dover to Calais.And {if this be accomplished, the stupendous work will rank beside the other wonderful triumphs of man over the forces of Nature.The Alps have been bored again and again, the latest achievement of the Simplon Tunnel being the greatest.Niagara Falls \"ave been harnessed, and the Suez and Panama Cunals cut.It was only the other day that the shareholders of the Channel Tunnel Company received from the directors their annual report, in which they said: \u2018The Board has watched with interest the growing movement of public opinion in favor of the tunnel, but has abstained from taking any active part therein.\u201d To ascertain the latest phase of affairs about the tunnel prospects and the views held by people on both sides of the Channel, an Answers man paid a visit to London Bridge, and had the opportunity of a very interesting chat with a high official of the company, who told him that the feeling in France in favor of the work was now particularly strong, the other side of the Channel, which would link up with the English railway, had of late warmly revived the hope of seeing the great work carried through.It is over forty years ago\u2014namely, in 1874\u2014that the first concession for such a tunnel, to start at Calais, was obtained from the French Government.In 1875 the Channel Tunnel Company obtained an English Act of Parliament to commence experimental work in St.Margaret's Bay, to the east of Dover.For years nothing really practical | - was done, and then at last work was begun in earnest, and by July of 1882 some 2,026 yards of the tunnel had been made, or well over a mile.It was owing to the intervention of the Board of Trade and a terrific war of opposition to the tunnel that the work was suspended when it was.But in the year before the break of the war\u2014namely, 1913\u2014 the scheme was revived by his Majesty's Government calling for reports on it by the Admiralty, the War Office, and the Board of Trade, such reports to be submitted to the Committee of Imperial Defence for subsequent decision by the Cabinet.And , then the war came.Then there was the \u201cinvasion\u201d scare, and on that point Major-Gen- eral Sir Alfred E.Turner, K, C.B., remarked in October, 1913: \u2018\u2018The tubes would be ventilated by artificial means, which could at any moment be arrested with the certainty of asphyxiating every living being in the tunnel.It would thus seem clear that an attempt to use the tunnel for purposes of invasion would be infinitely more deadly to the assailants than the assailed.\u201d A Life of Fraud.\u201cYou have evidently been leading a lite of systematic fraud for some time past,\u201d remarked the Recorder at the Old Bailey to John George Kingham, 62, described as a mortgage broker, who was convicted of obtaining, and attempting to obtain, money from the executors and relatives of army officers killed at the front, by false pretences and with intent to defraud.Accused, as \u2018\u2018Newton and Co,\u201d according to tbe prosecution, had adopted a system of making bogus claims on the estates of deceased officers for moneys either Alieged to have been lent by bim to them as a friend or amounts alleged to have been guaranteed by deceased towards the expenses of promoting the National Unity Insurance Co., which he was promoting.At the time of his arrest prisoner's bank balance was 4d., and be owed £15 15s rent of the office in Queen Victoria street, and a sum of £31 4s in respect of an unsatisfied judgment for rent of his flat at Cranworth Gardens, Brixton.A previous conviction at Cardiff was proved against prisoner for an exactly similar class of fraud.Eighteen months\u2019 nard labor.All Must Pull Out.Sir George Paish, commenting at the National Economy Exhibition on the task of finding this yeur 1,800 millions sterling for the war, said that at the present moment the nation was consuming, including what was lent to our Allies, something like £500,000,000 worth of goods per annum more than it could pay for out of its own resources, and this at a time when nearly 5,000,000 cf our male population were engaged in war.The army of women workers, and the fact that everyone was willing to work harder and for longer bours than before, alone enabled tbe productive capacity of the nation to be maintained.At the present time the nation\u2019s income, owing to the rise of prices and other causes, was well over £3,000,000,000, and the \u20ac1,- 800,000,000 that bad to be found was not all new expenditure, Out of that sum our soldiers and their dependants were being maintained.The problem of finding the necessary money could be solved if only everyone would work as be had never worked before.English Schools for Serbian Boys.Arrangements have just been made for distributing the Serbian boys who have been brought to England as the guests of the British Government among various secondary schools around London.They are living at present in Downing College, Cambridge, and in one of the theological colleges at Oxford.The educational authorities are looking forward with great interest to the result of this experiment.The language difficulty will be the greatest, but the Serbian boys are picking up English quickly.They are in charge of Serbian school teachers.out- Constantine Now a Hero, Skouloudis Said to Have Been Real Villain SPO GON lide settee sled Spd) HE New York Herald in a recent issue prints the following cable from Rome: A proposal that the Greek army, with the Serbian forces subservient to it, will undertake to handle along the offensive in the southeast against the Bulgarian and Austro-Prussian armies is declared to have been put forward as a way out of the dilemma in which Greece now find herself and as a means of restoring the prestige of King Constantine.The calculation is made by The Patris of Athens that the forces lined up on the Austrian side in the Balkans is only slightiy more than 200,- 000.The Greek army, supplied with munitions by the Allies, would ben well able to cope with these forces, it is affirmed.The role of King Constantine in the long period of oscillation of the Greek Government between the belligerent parties is being sbown to M.SKOULOUDIS, better advantage now that the censors in the allied countries are allowing the details sent by correspondents in Greece to be published.Among the statements made in The Rome Tribun.in this connection is one to the effect that it was the King himself who upset a scheme by leading Ministers for throwing Greece into the arms of the Central Empires.The leaders of this movement, the Italian newspaper says, were the Prussian agent, Baron Schenk, and M.Gounaris, and M.Skouloudis, both of whom were Premiers after the ousting of M.Venizelos, and General Dusmanis, who was Chief of Staff until August 27.The sum of 1,000,- 000,000 drachme ($200,000,000), is said to have been at the disposal of Baron Schenk for the purposes of the campaign of propaganda in Greece in behalf of the [Prussian cause, The occasion first suggested by those working for Prussia to force Greece out of her neutrality was the presentation of the note of the Entente Powers, which demanded demobilization and a return to the Greek constitution by the holding of a free general election under threat of a landing of allied troops at the Piraeus.It will be remembered that the Berlin official news agency sent out a statement at the time that the allied troops had act- uglly been disembarked.M.Skouloudis, then Premier, and M.Gounaris, his adviser, after consultation with the King, proposed to the Cabinet Council that the note be rejected, The Tribuna says.This meant a declaration of war against the Allies.The proposal was rejected on the suggestion of M, Rhallis.Then the determination to cqm- mit an overt act against the Allles was decided on, and the Minister of Marine was charged tc order the Greek fleet to fire on the allied ships if they did not obey the injunction to retire immediately from the Piraeus and the other ports near the capital.The firing of a shot would have meant war and would have placed Greece by the side of the Central Powers, \u2018M.Skouloudis and M.Gounaris,\u201d The Tribuna adds, \u2018went to tbe summer residence at Tatot to obtain the King's signature to the authorization to use force, but on their arrival there they found that the King had already chosen a sutressor to the Premier, and that M.Zaimis, of a more prudent disposition, was to have charge of the government.The Court party who were associated with General Dusmanis in the agitation in favor of the Central Empires included Princes Nicholas and Andrew.\u201d Artificial Limbs.Artificial limbs are made so perfect to-day that it is almost impossible to detect them.At an official trial this week a challenge was given that no one present would detect the substitute.The man walked, ran, and jumped.He went upstairs two steps at a time, ran down three.One official thought he knew the false from the true, but Just as he was about to speak a friendly voice whispered, \u2018Don't be a fool; they are both artificial,\u201d Communion With the Dead.Much interest centres round recent experiments made with the object of communicating with the dead.A celebrated scientific man is about to

West Point, Strathdene, Stephano and Kingstonian, the Dutch steamer Bloomersdike, and the Norwegian steamer, Christian Kuudsen, were all sunk by a German submarine oft Nantucket.The scene of the exploit was far beyond the three-mile limit.Paesengers and crews were given time to get away in their ship\u2019e boots.A few sought temporary refuge on the Nantasket lightship; most of the others were picked up by U.8.destroyers which rushed to the rescue.The crew of the Kingstonian were still missing at last reports, but it was conjectured that they had been picked up by some outward bound vessel.The appearance of the German submarine U-63 on a friendly visit to Newport, R.I, Saturday, aroused much curiosity but ite real purpose was made clear by Bunday\u2019s exploit.It is not understood that there was any violation of the rules of international marine warfare, but the people of the United States are naturally stirred by this demonstration againet the shipping interest of the country.Organized encounters between ci- viliane and militia in some of the large towns of Germany are assuming alarming proportions, and have resulted in several street fights with alarming results.FOR PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION.Big Delegation Wait on Present Views to Premier Gouin.Quebec City\u2014Urging the Provincial Government to pass a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in the province of Quebec, a delegation com- poeed of some three hundred citizens of the province, including church dig- pitaries, representatives of all temperance organizations, and all classes of society, waited on Bir Lomer Gouin and the members of the Provincial Cabinet in the Legisiative Assembly chamber Wednesday afternoon, October 4th.After listening for nearly three hours to the arguments which were advanced in favor of prohibition.Sir Lomer Gouin asked Judge Lafontaine, of Montreal, who was tue last epeaker, what he would think of a prohibition system which would not include wines and beer.The president of the Montreal Anti- Alcoholic League said that he did not make any distinction between strong drink and those which were \\not strong.Prohibition should apply\\to all alcoholic liquors.As to winds which were not adulterated they could only be bought by the wealthy, and he thought that the law should be uniform.As far as beer was concerned, there wae evidence that it was not a good beverage.The best proof of this could be found in Germany.Could a more brutal nation be found; beer only led to the use of strong liquors, In the name of the rural populations who constituted the best people in the province, Judge Lafontaine said, he besought a law of provincial probibi- tion, à law of individual and public salvation.\u201d GOVERNMENT'S POSITION.Sir Lomer Gouin, in replying to the delegates, said that in spite of the many years that he had sat in the Assembly he had rarely attended such an inveresting sitting.What particularly distinguished the meeting was the unanimity of feeling which pervaded the chamber, so seldom accustomed to such harmony.The Premier assured the delegation that the Government would not turn a deaf ear to their requests, and that its attitude on temperance had not changed.\u201cYou say,\u201d remarked Sir Lomer, \u201cthat the time has come to give prohibition, that the education of the people is complete.Other important persons believe that the time has not yot come.We must tell you that we are facing a very difficult problem, and opinions which must be weighed.\u2018You have pleaded your case.Rest assured that you have not appealed to deaf ears.We shall give to your requests all the consideration which they deserve and rest assured that we shall remain worthy of the confidence of the people of this province.\u201d Among thcse who addressed the Cabinet were Sir F.X.Lemieux, president of the Quebec Anti-Alcobolic League, who also presented the delegation to the Cabinet, 8.J.Carter, president of the Dominiop Alliance; Mgr.Roy, auxiliary bishop of Quebec; the Rev.Dr.Johnson, Jos.Picard, Quebec; Canon Massicotte, the Rev.Abbe Brousseau, Shawinigan; Mgr.Guertin, St.Hyacinthe; Mgr.Ferland,

If you do the handsome thing it will never be regarded as handsome by the only people whose opinion is worth while, because with them doing the handsome is so usual that it becomes commonplace.If you are homely nothing you do will be handsome.To do a handsome thing, therefore, always start by being handsome.Then sou won't have to do it.\u2014Life.Quick Wit On the Stage.Richard Mansfield created the role of Beau Brummel.W.J.Ferguson acted the valet in the original production.In the character of the valet it was Ferguson's place to hand the Beau his gloves, his stick and finally his hat Upon the opening night he proffered the hat to Mansfield, turned the wrong way around.Had the Beau put on the hat in the way it was handed to him and strolled down Piccadilly or Bond street the faux pas might have created a scandal.When Ferguson discovered his error he turned pale under his makeup.Mansfleld was quik to grasp the sit- vation and with one of his most courtly bows gave the hat back to the valet so that he might turn it around, which Werguson did with pantomimic apol- As Mausfleld put on the hat and passed out of the door he whispered to Ferguson: \u201cThat's a good piece of business.Keep it in.\u2019 : Enough Said.whole train had passed over his departed friend.\u201cSee here, McGinnis,\u201d sald L \u201cYou admit that the whistle blew ?* \u201cYis, sor, it blew, sor.\u201d \u201cNow if that whistle sounded in time to give Michael warning the fact would be in favor of the company, wouldn't it?\" \u201cYis, gor, and Mike would be testi- tying here this day.\u201d The jury giggled.\u2014Case and Comment.Shakespeare Censored.The dramatic censorship in England today, much as it is abused, is very mild compared to what has been known in former periods when many of Shakespeare's plays have been censored.Colley Cibber in his autobiography tells us of one master of the revels, who was responsible for the licensing of plays in his days, expunging the whole first act of Cibber\u2019s adaptation of \u201cRichard IIL\" on the ground that the distresses of Henry VI.would remind weak people of King James, then living in France.On another occasion \u201cKing Lear\u201d was inhibited during the lliness of George III.George Colman when reader of plays banned the use of such words as *angel\u201d and \u201cheaven.\u201d\u2014London Mail Simple Job and Fancy Bill.\u201cYour bill doesn\u2019t square with what you told me before I went to the hospital, doctor.\u201d \u201cWhat's the matter?\u201cYou insisted that it was to be just a simple little operation and there was nothing at all to be alarmed at.\u201d And He Knew It.The Professor\u2014I'm afraid, my dear young lady, that you find statistics very dry things.The Dear Young Lady\u2014Not always.Lieutenant Smyth told me there were 1,600,000,000 people in the world and that I was the pret tiest girl of the lot.\u2014London Opinion, An Uncanny Custom.In ancient Egypt at the end of a fashionable dinner a mummy richly painted and gilded was presented to each guest in turn by a servant, who said: \u201cLook on this.Drink and enjoy yourself.For such as it 1s now, so thou shalt be when thou art dead.\u201d \u2018A railroad lawyer who has had much to do with human nature says, \u201cNever £ross question an Irishman from the old sod.\u201d And he gave an illustration irom his own experience: A section hand had been killed by an sxpress train, and his widow was suing for damages.The main witness swore positively that the locomotive whistle had not sounded until after the Not Too High.\u201cWhat i» the height of your ambi tion?\u201d \u201cI don't exactly know, but 1 think «he comes up to my shoulders.\u201d A SWISS MYSTERY It Looked For a Time as if It Were Beyond Penetration.BUT IT WAS ALMOST SOLVED.An American Visitor In the Republic, Who Wanted to Know About Ite President, Finally Came Near Getting the Information He Craved.Switzerland 1s a republic that runs with the exactness of a Swiss watch, its machinery as hermetically concealed.I had heard that the Swiss republic set the pattern of government for the world, and I was anxious to know something of its methods and personnel.I was sorry that I was so ignorant I didn't even know the name of the Swiss president and for a week was ashamed to confess it.I was hoping I might see it in one of the French papers I puzzled over every evening, but at the end of the week I timidly and apologetically inquired of our friendly landlord as to the name of the Swiss president.But then came a shock.Our landlord grew confused, blushed and confessed that he didn't know it either.He had known it, he said, of course, but it had slipped his mind.Slipped his mind! Think of the name of Roosevelt or Wilson or Taft slipping the mind of anybody in America\u2014and a landlord! I asked the man who sold me cigars.He had forgotten too.1 asked the apothecary, but got no information.I was not so timid after that, I asked a fellow passenger\u2014guest, I mean\u2014an American, but of long Swiss residence, and got this story.1 be lieve most of it.He sald: \u201cWhen I came to Switzerland and found out what a wonderful little country it was, its government so economical, so free from party corruption and spoils, from graft and politics, so different from the home life of our own dear Columbia, I thought, \u2018The man at the head of this thing must be a master hand; I'll ind out his name.\u2019 So I picked out a bright looking subject and said, \u2018What is the name of the Swiss president?\u2018He tried to pretend he didn\u2019t understand my French, but he did, for I can tear the language off all right\u2014learned it studying art in Paris.When I pinned him down he said he knew the name well enough, parfaitement, but couldn\u2019t think of it at that moment.\u201cThat was a surprise, but I asked the next man.He couldn't think of it either.Then I asked a police officer.Of course he knew it all right, \u2018Oh, oul, certainement, mais\u2019 \u2014 then he scratched his head and scowled, but he couldn't dig up that name.He was just a plain liar\u2014tout simplement\u2014 like the others.\u201cI asked every man I met, and every one of them knew it, had it right on the end of his tongue, but somehow fit seemed to stick there.Not a man in Vevey or Montreux could tell me the name of the Swiss president.It was the same in Fribourg, the same even in Berne, the capital \u201cI had about given up when one evening in Berne I noticed a sturdy man with an honest face #pproaching.He looked intelligent, too, and as a last resort I said, \u2018Could you by any chance tell me the name of the Swiss presi dent?\u201cThe effect was startling.He seized me by the arm and, after looking up and down the street, leaned forward and whispered in my ear: \u201cMon Dieu!

pests of the grape industry in @hio within recent years is the grape berry worm, a small insect that bores into the young grapes and causes them to be worthless for marketing.Entomologists at the Ohio experiment station have been studying this moth since 1906 in the Lake Erle section and bave just published in bulletin 293 the results of their investigations in controlling it.The two broods of the moth are eas- fly controlled by proper spray measures.In some cases large vineyards have been so infested with the insect that the crops were not worth picking.In others where the owners sprayed the vines carefully less than 1 per cent of the crop was injured.The first spray is applied when the grapes are about one-eighth of an inch in diameter.Four pounds of arsenate of lead paste is used with the 2-3-50 formula of bordeaux mixture and two pounds of dissolved soft soap as a sticker.About six weeks later, on Aog.3 to 12, the same mixture is again aSplied to kill the second brood.Hand rpraying is preferable to machine ap- plicgtion.The experiment station experts say that sprayings at other times hate fafled to control the grape berry worm in Ohio.Preventing Propagation of Flies.For the destruction of fly larvae in horse manure the department of agriculture recommends the use of borax in the commercial form which is available throughout the country.The borax, it is claimed, increases the water soluble ammonia and alkilinity of manure and apparently does not injure the bacterial flora.The directions are to apply 0.62 of a pound, which Is a little over half a pound, of borax to every ten cubic feet, which is about eight bushels, of manure immediately on its removal from the barn.The borax should be applied particularly around the outer edges of the pile with a flour sifter or other fine sieve, and two or three gallons of water- should be sprinkled over the borax treated manure.A Good Wall Nest.Roomy, clean nests mean clean eggs.Dirty nests are generally caused by the fowls roosting on the edge-of the nesta and allowing droppings to fall in or by the hens waiting at the edge of thelr favorite nest for another hen to get through laying and fouling the side of the nest with droppings as they wait.In the nest illustrated the sliding door at one end may be shut at night.This will keep the birds from roosting on the nests.The narrow board by which the hens enter the nests allows their droppings to fall on the floor instead of accumulating to soil their feet and then the eggs.The removable board on the front of the.nests makes them convenient to clean.POULTRY NOTES.Hens need exercise during warm weather.If they are confined in close quarters dig up a few rods of the runs and keep the ground moist so the layers will scratch.Feed them grain in litter and make them scratch it out.This will afford exercise.The incubator has many advantages, but none are more apparent than that {t does not transmit lice to the young chicks.Old Biddy does, and that is one reason why she should be kept buay laying while the incubator hatches her brood.Hens naturally like a dark place in which to lay, and such a place can be provided by a box tight on all sides, into which is cut a hole large enough to admit the hen easily about four inches from the bottom.A small piece of camphor about the size of a grain of rye duily and ten drops of camphor or

Interest, So Molecular and Gravitational Impulses In Matter Act Toward a Center.Falling rain forms into spherical drops for the same reason that the earth has become a globe\u2014namely, because that is the shape in which the internal forces of attraction attain a balance.In the case of a very large and massive body like the earth it is the attraction of gravitation that controls the form, but in that of a small body like a raindrop it is the molecular attraction of the infinitesimal particles.The intensity of molecular attraction, which is the force that holds the components of bodies together, is far greater than that of the attraction of gravitation, but it is exercised over a comparatively {insignificant distance.In each case, however, the resultant of all the attractions between the individual particles is a force directed toward the center of mass.But by the principle of inertia time 1s always required for any force or combination of forces to set matter in motion.The larger the volume of matter concerned the longer will be the time needed for the internal forces to group all the particles symmetrically around their common center of mass, It is upon this principle that the old fashioned shot towers are operated.Molten lead is dropped from a great elevation after pussing through\u2019 a sieve to facilitate its separation into small masses, and during their downward flight these masses are rounded into little spheres by the mutual attraction of their molecules, which group themselves around a common center.With very large bodies not broken up into small portions the gravitational force plays the principal part in sbap- ing them, because gravitation is effective at great distances and throughout vast masses, while cohesion, or molecular attraction, is extremely limited with regard to the space over which it acts, Each molecule attracts a little group of other molecules close around it, and these In turn attract their immediate neighbors, Within tbe space occupied by a raindrop the molecular attraction is the master force and quickly shapes the mass into a sphere, And just as a spoonful of water thrown from a high tower will descend in the form of one or more round drops owing to the resultant pull of all its molecules toward a common center so the entire ocean 1f it were flung out into open space would become a gigantic ball of water rounded into that shape by the gravitational attraction acting throughout its whole mass.It is by no accident that all the planets are spherical They have taken that shape as inevitably as a loose stone rolls down a steep hill Their forms are not perfect spheres, because they have been subjected to i outside disturbing forces.such as the centrifugal effects of their rotation on their axes and the deformations produced Ly the attraction of other planets and of the sun.Even the heads of comets are spheroidal.although they are believed to consist of swarms of small bodies like meteors, This tendency of masses, whose component parts or particles are free to move ampng one another, to assume a globular outline, is curiously illustrated even by crowds or swarms of sentient beings.Thus a swarm of bees when it gathers close becomes spherical or spheroidal, since that form is best suited to inclose the greatest number ; of individuals.A human crowd certainly would take a spherical form if its members were able to choose their positions as freely in up and down as in horizontal space.Being confined to ome level, they arrange themselves in a circle, which is the section of a sphere.\u2014Garrett P.Serviss in New York Journal Political Chances.\u201cI see when a man runs for office he has to put himself in the hands of his friends.\u201d \u201cYes, my dear.\u201d

portance accorded to picture frames that in attempting any research on the subject one can only discover an occasional notice of some individual frame among a mass of detail comprised under the generic title of \u201cFrames,\u201d which ranges from chimney pieces, door furniture and girandoles down to the designs employed in book fllustra- tion, called by the French \u201ccar touches.\u201d Only in Italy was the art of picture framing a fine art, and the examples worth studying belong almost entirely to that country, Picture frames are of comparatively modern origin, for during the long per- fod of the middle ages such portable pictures as existed were inclosed in wooden cases with doors and had, consequently, no frames, while mirrors were not yet in existence.It was not till life became more settled and houses were considered in relation to peace as well as war that the custom began to prevail of placing pictures on walls.They start, therefore, in the fifteenth century and are at the height of their perfection in the sixteenth.From the earliest times Italian artists knew that for a painting to be rightly appreciated it was necessary to inclose it in a kind of surrounding.They knew, too, that it could never be a matter of caprice what that particular surrounding should be, but that it must be chosen scientifically and with due regard to the effect of the painting.on the spectator and of the whole as a work of art It is only necessary to study the fine examples that are still in existence from the best period of this art, which appears to bave been exclusively Italian, to realize that neither chance nor fashion entered inte it.On the contrary, it was the outcome of an Instinctive aesthetic sentiment of feeling for the beautiful in conjunction with an almost scientific appreciation of what would enhance the intelligent understanding of the picture.Whether we look at them in their richness or their simplicity, we shall note that the structure of the frame was first care fully studied and adapted to its purpose of suitably inclosing the picture and that its subsequent enrichment, whether by modeling, gilding, painting or however, lost their native character, and coming under French influence became more and more debased until all sobriety of treatment disappeared.\u2014 Scribner's.Measuring Your Pace.How many steps do you take

PUFFING UP THE OYSTER.Showing How Easily Four Quarts May Be Swelled Into Five.Adulteration of oysters on the half shell, freshly opened.might be thought as dificult ds adulteration of unpeeled fruit But the purists to whom all things are impure have discovered that oysters are \u201cadulterated\u201d by soaking them in fresh water.It is not suggested that the water is unwholesome, either for tbe oysters or those wbo eat them.But that is not to the point, These things are all arranged for us at Washington, and the department of agriculture, which is particularly devoted to oyster culture, has issued a formal statement to all and sundry regarding the heinous practice of making oysters look plump and white by soaking them in water.It is official information that if four quarts of oysters and a quart of fresh water are placed in a five quart container and the mixture allowed to stand for several hours there will be a marked change in the appearance of the contents of the container.To the naked eye there will appear to be five quarts of dry oysters, for the container will be full and there will be little or no water in sight, it being on the Inside of the plump, succulent looking

oysters are \u201cadulterated under section 7 of the food and drugs act.\u201d which provides that food is adulterated \u201cif a substance has been substituted in whole or in part for the

it will fall at some distance from you.Also if you throw the ball up from a standing position and move forward as soon as the ball leaves your hand the ball will fall behind you, provided you actually threw it straight up.Of course you know that the earth is moving many miles per hour on its axis and that when you throw a ball straight into the air from a standing position, the earth and yourself, as well as the ball, move with the earth a long distance before the ball comes down again.The relative position is, however, the same.We get our sense of motion by a comparison with other objects.If you are in a train that is moving swiftly and another train goes by in the opposite direction, moving just as fast, you seem to be going twice as fast as you really are.If the train on the other track, however, is going at the same rate of speed and in the same direction as you are you will appear to be standing still.Going back to the ball again, you will find that it always partakes of the motion of the body holding it in addition to the motion given when it is thrown up.Old Time Crinoline.The erinoline\u2014under another nnme\u2014 was known and denounced in the eighteenth century, as witness the pamphlet published in England in 1745 under title of \u201cThe Enormous Abomination of the Hoop Petticoat, as the Fashion Now Is.\u201d At that time the hoop, usually of whalebone, was often \u201cso large as to fill the space of six men,\u201d and in 1754 a& writer in the Connoisseur speaks of \u201choops\u201d capable of contracting or expanding \u201cfrom the size of a butter churn to the circumference of three hogsheads.\u201d Opened the King's Eyes.When Fenelon was almoner to Louls XIV.his majesty was .stonished to find one Sunday, instead of the usual crowded congregation, only himself and the priest.\u201cWhat is the meaning of this?\u2019 said the king.\u201cI caused it to be given out,\u201d replied the prelate, \u201cthat your majesty did not attend chapel today, that you might see who it was that came here to worship God and who to flatter the king.\u201d Memory Training.\u201cI have decided,\u201d remarked Senator Sorghum, \u201cto train my memory.\u201d \u201cWhat system will you use?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know.I'm looking for one that will enable me, when I! am inter viewed, to remember what to forget.\u201d Death on the

Turkish masses concerning political questions, says Sir Edwin Pears in \u201cForty Years In Constantinople,\u201d is shown by certain in.eldents of the revolution of 1908.The bamals, or porters, in the towms, like the peasants in the country, when they heard that his majesty bad sworn to be faithful to the coustitution, inquired what it was.Was it a person?Was it a new caliph?And very few could give any clear explanation.The words \u201cliberty\u201d and \u201cequality\u201d meant something good, altbough they could not have sald what.To some they signified general license.Two English friends of mine were motoring outside Smyrna when a number of Turkish boys set upon them and flung stones at them.The Englishmen gave chase and caught the principal offenders.The eldest was asked why he bad thrown stones.\u201cHurriet var,\u201d was tbe reply.\u2018\u2019There\u2019s liberty.We can do what we like now.\u201d The Englishman replied, \u201cHurriet var.and | am at liberty to give you a good thrashing, am I not?\u201d One of the Loys sald yes, he supposed that would be so.but he hoped the liberty would not be used.The Englishman replied that it would not be used that time.but if the offense were repeated he would use it to the fullest extent, The workmen on a newspaper during that time asked for a large increase of wages.\u201cBut why\" asked the owner.\u201cBecause there is a constitution,\u201d The tramway men struck for higher wages, and the only justification that they put forward was that there was now a constitution.Yet men of all classes cheered in the lustiest manner for the constitution.Throughout the month of August smuggled tobacco was openly sold in the streets at a very cheap rate, buyers and sellers alike considering that the constitution allowed men to set aside the law that bad made the sale of tobacco a govern ment monopoly.HOSPITALITY IN SYRIA.A Custom That May Have a Bearing on a Passage In Scripture.Approaching his hoped for guest, a Syrian engages him in something like the following dialogue, characterized by a glow of feeling which the translation can only faintly reveal: \u201cEnnoble us by your presence.\u201d \u201cI would be ennobled, but 1 canno?accept.\u201d \u201cThat cannot be.\u201d \u201cYea, yen, it must be.\u201d \u201cNo, 1 swear against you by our friendship and by the life of God.I love just to acquaint you with my bread and salt.\u201d \u201cI swear also that 1 find it impossible to accept.Your bread and salt are known to all.\u201d \u201cYea, do it Just for our own good.By coming to us you come to your own home.Let us repay your bounty to us.\u201d \u201cAstaghfero Allah (by the mercy of God) 1 have not bestowed any bounty upon you worth mentioning.\u201d Here the host seizes his guest by the arm and with an empbatic, \u201cI will not let you go,\u201d pulls at him and would drag him bodily into his Louse.Then the guest, happy in being vanquished \u201cwith honor,\u201d consents to the invitation.Do you now understand fully the meaning of the passage in the fourteenth ,chapter of Luke's gospel?\u201cA certdin man made a great supper, and bade many, * * * and they all with one consent began to make excuse.® ¢ + And the Lord said unto the servant, \u2018Go out into the highways and hedges, and compe! them to come in.that my house may be filled.\u2019 \"\u2014Abra.ham Mitrie

instance, there are Lrocades and quaint flowered silks that might have stepped straight out of the seventeenth century, combined with some of the modish sheer fabrics.One lovely robe is made of ivory faille silk embroidered with empire leaves In gold.The classic cut at the top recalls the commencing outlines of a Greek pep- lum, and this is continued en princesse to form a pointed tunic in front and a short train drawn into a bell rope point at the back.The underdress and the lining of the brocade and sleeves are of the most delicate shell pink chiffon, while an effective touch of contrast i8 given by a folded sash belt of chartreuse green satin, turned over at the top with a line of old rose.The edges of the sleeves are worked with little pale gold slik loops and gathered at the wrist into a rue.Small Garden Apron.Here is a delightful {dea for a prac tical apron for that young aspiring gardener of yours who is wearing out stockings galore in her flowerbeds.Make her a gardening apron.Make it of heavy green or blue denim, just large enough to cover the front of het frock and long enough to kneel on.To hang it over the shoulders and tig it around the walst use tapes; then it will not be hot.To make it attrac tive stitch pieces of brick red denim on in the shape of flowerpots for pocks ets, and applique some bright linen tulips just above the flowerpot pockets.Rose Petal Sandwiches.Flavor fresh, unsalted butter with rose by packing in a closed vessel sur rounded by a thick layer of rose leaves, The more fragrant the roses the fineg the flavor imparted.Allow the butte to remain with the roses overnight, Cut the bread for these dainty sande wiches in thin strips or circles, spread each with the perfumed butter and place several petals from fresh roses between the slices, allowing the edges to show.Sometimes angel cake is used spread with a conserve made from rose leaves or orange marmalade.ta Keeps Chopper Open.When running dates, figs or raisins through a

and fair and consequently it was pronounced by all to be the \u2018\u2018Perfect Day\u2019 we bad been looking forward to for our annual school holiday.During French Class there was a great commotion in the main room as \u2018\u2018Prof\u2019\u2019 smilingly mounted his platform and announced to our relief and joy, that this was surely \u201cthe day.\u201d Immediately the halls and class rooms of the Academy were em- tied and the store clerks were hustling to wait upon somewhat impatient school girls.Soon after we were hurrying along the road to \u2018Wilson's Beach,\u201d the remaining part of the forenoon was spent on boat ridings, making arrangements for games and races, rosting corn and making coffes for dinner, eto.At about 1 o'clock \u2018\u2018we all gathered around the board,\u201d that is, wo sat down in groups, spread out lunches and ate heartily and bap- pily.Games, races, contests, etc., immediately followed this simple meal.Those worth mentioning were: The girl's najl driving contest, obstacle race, and girls, 30 yard dash.These amusements with more bost rides, beach strools and snap shots completed the program for the afternoon.A number of the students who thought the day incomplete without a strool around the pond, went home that way.Ask the people where they stay whether they were bungry when they reached bome.Some of the new D.A, caps, or hats, as you might call them, have arrived.Have you seen them?You'll know them if you do.The D.A.A.A.have elected the following officers: President, Evarts Kidder 18; Vice President, Chester Cowles ,18; Sec\u2019t & Treasurer, George Cowles 18; Cap\u2019t of B.B.Team Hayes Traux °17; Manager of B.B.Team, Austin Had- lock 19; : The Tennis Club of D.A.has made two courts on the campus.The members have purchaged a new net and a court marker.A number of the etu- dents bave new rackets so we shall expect to see some tennis games in the near future.A number of Academy students and and other town people started Tuesday evening, Oct.3, in automobiles filled with bells, tin pans, etc., to find the newly married couple, Harry Rice *14 and Vinnie Fellows ex \u201913, both of Derby.After riding up and down main St.several times they found them and gave them several charming concerts, then wishing them a long and happy life, they left the happy couple to their delayed supper.Last Saturday morning a number of D.A.students and teachers met at the home of Beulah Gray in Westfield and from there made the trip to and up Jay Peak.All had a fine time and in spite of resultant weariness and lameness are glad they went.The whole company was royally entertained by the Grays.Intended for last issue.The Academy has been in session two weeks and registration has passed the eighty mark.There will probably be about the same number of students as for the past few years.The two new teachers, Misses Abbott and Sutherland, are beginning their work with satisfaction to all.We have every reason to expect a successful year.The Teacher Training Class this year hae an enrollement of nine, consisting of seven seniors and two post graduates.One new course has been introduced.This is a course in Community Olvics.Observation work in the grades begins this week and will continue through the fall term.In marked contrast with the dark rainy out-of-doors last Friday evening, was the ball of Derby Academy where all was brightness and gaiety.The occasion was the reception given bythe school to the Freshmen and other new students.Many loyal alumni were present in spite of weather conditions, so adding to the atmosphere of unity and good fellowship.Only the storm was responsible for the number being no larger.Throughout the evening music was furnished by Miss Panline Thompson and Mr.\u2018Walter Cleveland.After the Freshmen proved themselves \u2018\u2018game\u2019 class by their ready participation in the interesting, impromtu entertainment given under the auspices of the ever resourceful sophomores.Jennie Hill, Harold Briggs, Sue Kennedy and, Alice Vinton are the new students who have entered the upper classes.Almedia Gray \u201916 was called home last week by the serious illness of her mother.Plans are being made for two tennis courts and the students have organized a tennis association.Percy Fellows '16 has entered Mid- dlebury College and Frances Hyde \u201816 the

when everything is costing more instead of less.No old styles in the lot.Fall and winter stock of Forest Mills Underwear and Gordon Dye Hosiery is in and with only a few exceptions, at the _ old prices, and in every style the same high grades are offered.Buy early while you can get advantage of our extremely large and early purchase, which is the reason for the old low prices.BUY FURS EARLY AND GET CHOICE OF GOODS AND LOWER PRICES We feel sure that prices must advance on all good grade furs, in the first place many furs have been at less than their real value for two years, but the demand is very much heavier this fall than it has been in that time.In reply to inquiry about Raccoon Coats one of the largest manufacturers in the west could not give duplicate of coat we wanted, and wrote that the very lowest price they could make a coat for now was to sell at $175.We have only a few Raccoon Coats but while they last our customers can buy them at reasonable prices.PLUSH COATS At $20.00, $22.50, $25.00, $27.50 and up : Prices must all go very much higher on any coats that are ordered even at the present time.Ready-to-Wear Coats, Suits, Dresses and Waists In a greater variety of styles than will be possible later and in every case at lower prices than will be possible later.One of the largest manufacturers of Dresses in New York has asked permission either to substitute other styles or materails for the balance of our order or to cancel the dresses we have on order as they have not received material bought for delivery last May.This is only one of the many cases where we have found that it was not only an increase in price, but that the goods were not to be had at any price.FALL RUBBERS Our stock is in and at exactly the same prices they have sold at for years and it really seems good not to have to explain to each customer that the price has been advanced.Children\u2019s 50c., 55c.; Misses\u2019 60c., 65c.; Ladies\u201d 70c., 75c.a pair.BOYS SHOES Same quality and prices offered last year, but sizes are getting badly broken, so it will only be a short time we can offer these values.From this time until after the January sale we will have business enough on Saturdays to keep our whole force busy without offering the special bargains, but so many of our customers were disappointed last Saturday that we have decided to offer for next Saturday a case of 80 pairs Grey Blankets, size 66x78, that actually weigh 3 pounds and 12 ounces, good woolnap finish, at $1.59 a pair.This case of Blankets was bought last January and could not be bought today to sell under $2.50 a pair.Remember we have only 1 case of 80 pairs and if they areall gone before you get one, don\u2019t feel that we should have enough to last all day, and we cannot get any more.No blankets will be laid aside or orders filled except those received Saturday morning with money enclosed.FRANK D.FLINT, - NEWPORT, VT.VERMONT FARMS REAL ESTATE OF ALL KINDS
