"It isn’t w much fun playing Boap-bubbles I” sighed Ted, as. he laid down his pipe and strolled over to the window. - . "Oh dear,” cried Bessie, "Frankie’s broken my pipe-stem, and I can’t blow nice ones at all!” ■ "Well, well! What’s :.!1 this about?” asked a deep voice, and the children saiv Uncle Nad stand­ ing in tho doorway. "Now wli.at shall it be to-day?” ho said, as the clrildren gathered round him. Ted sup'gcBted Indian stories, Frankie preferred to ..bear abyut wild /minials, and Bessie insisted <>n fairy stories, as both the former frightened her. . But as Uncle Ned was about to protest, fearing trou­ ble ahead, his eyes rested on the abandoned pipes. "Why, let's have Some soap-bub­ ble tricks P' he exclaimed. And as uncle’s suggestions were always met with instant favor, they all clamberod into chairs round the table., "Now first,” said ho, "we’ll see if we can’t make a soap-bubble blow out a candle.” While Ted was despatched to the kitchgn for a common tin funnel, be took from the mantel a wax candle, lighted and placed it in the centre of the table. Then he took the funnel, immersed it in a bowl of soapy water, and blew a soap- bubble. Oh, such a large one? The largest one tho children had ever seen. "It is almost as big as the world, isn ’t it V ’ exclaimed JE’rahkie, clap­ ping his hands. Next uncle took the small end of the funnel with Ws finger and plac­ ed it very near the flame of the candle. Then he moved his finger, and the flame grew dim ; it fluttered and spluttered, and finally went Vut, and the beautiful big bubble burst. The children began to beg for ’ another trick. "Just one more to-day,” laugh­ ingly exclaimed Uncle Ned, "and this shall be known as the ‘Dance of the Soap-Bubbles.' ” First he selected a piece of strong paper, which he held before the fire, and then rubbed briskly with his hand. On the baize covering of the nursery-table he quickly blew three soap-bubbles, and then placed the paper just a little distance above them. Suddenly before the astonished eyes of the children the bubble, be­ gan to stretch itself, toward the paper. "O my!” exclaimed Frankie.. "Looks almost like an egg!” In fact, this was the shape it was taking. Whichever • way uncle moved the paper the bubble followed. Soon he had them all hopping and dancing about on the table. And such fun as the chil­ dren had watching them! "How I wish I could do that!” sighed Ted. "And so you may,” said Uncle Ned, "but you must’be careful that the paper does not get too near the bubbles.” - After many failures, the children were able to make the bubbles dance gaily. Ted whistled a tune, and declared they "almost kbpt time.”—Youth’s Companion. ------------>s,---------L_ SECRET OF ANCIENTS. C. N, R’S. GREAT RECORD. In Seven Years Has Increased Its Mileage 18B per cent., Gross Earnings 332 per cent,, and Net 315 per cent. 'Few railroads can point to a greater record of expansion and growth than can tho Canadian Northern. The reijort for the year ended June-30th, last, just issued, shows that thia record has continued un- abftted.-. While in the fiscal year lOOtl, when United States railroads were o?f]jorieucing tr&mondpufl lea- aos,' thia road showed an inoreai-e of .$1,350,000 in gross eari’ing: 13 per cent., it has in the yeai . further improved this, showing with! an adflirional increase of $872,305, ■ or 8.98 per cent., in . gross aiui $;'’:'3,G75, or 17.C0 per cent., in net. Operating. expenses this year rep- l’esontod 66.30 per cont. of gross earnings against C8.70 per cent last year. Since June 30th, 1903, which was the first year in which the Canadi­ an Northern issued an annual re­ port, the company’s mileage has increased from 1,276 to 3,013 on June 80, 1909, or equivalent to 136 per cent. In the same time gross has increased from $2,449,579 per annum to $10,581,768, or 332 per cent., and net earnings from $860,- 28ri to $8,566,362, or 315 per cent. . Passengers carried have increased from 281,801 to 1,028,787, passen­ gers carried one mile from 16,733,- 608 to 78,044,255, tons of revenue fi’ieiglit from 901,608 to 2,958,802, and tons carried one mile from 251,342,113 to 1,000,875,386. Total capital, including deben­ ture stock and car trust obliga­ tions, has increased in the seven years from $39,663,127, or $31,080 per mile of line to $122,363,477, or $40,640 per mile. The Canadian Government has guaranteed $26,- 727,183 of this Company’s bondsand debenture stock. Additional safety can be found in the company's land grant account, which on June 30, 1909, showed a balance of $7,273,229 due on land sales and cash on deposit, account of land sales, amounting to $4,- 302,637 and in addition the com­ pany owns 1,398,013 acres of unsold lands in the provinces of Manito­ ba and Saskatchewan. In view of the company’s rapid growth in mileage in recent years, it is interesting to note that every year has recorded an increase in the gross earnings per mile of line while, in the item of net earnings, the year 1908 showed a slight set­ back which has been more than -re­ covered in the fiscal year just re­ ported.

In -an assault and battery case tried in a Cleveland court the pro­ secuting -witness testified at length that the defendant had knocked him senseless and had then kicked him for several minutes. "If this man’s attack rendered you , unconscious,” demanded tho magistrate, "how is it that you know he kicked you when you were down?” The" question seemed to floor the witness. He was lost in reflection for some moments; then, brighten­ ing, he replied: "I know it, your honor, because that’s what I would have done to ing, he replied: ik vr___ _________ that’s what I would have done him if I’d got him down.” I Ancic-nt Method of Tcinpering Cop­ per a Lost Art. What was the combination of me­ tals from which the Egyptians, Aztecs, and inhabitants of Peru manufactured their tools and-arms? Though each of these nations reached a high state of civilization, none of them ever discovered iron, in spite of the fact that the soil of all three countries was largely im­ pregnated with it. But they substi­ tuted for it a combination of metals that had the temper of steel, and Vie secret of the combination is fest to mankind. Humboldt tried to discover the lost art-by analyzing a chisel found in an ancient Inca silver mine, but all lie could make of it was that it appeared to be a combination of a small portion of tin with copper. No present- known way of combin­ ing these two metals will give the hardness of- steel, so there must have been in tile chisel something else which Humboldt mis’sed. And these ancient races were able to prepare pure copper so. that it equalled the temper of the finest steel produced at the present day by the most scientific process. With their bronze and copper instru­ ments they were able to quarry and shape the hardest stone, such as granite and porphyry, and even cut emeralds. The ancient people must "have independently discovered the art of tempering copper, and yet it is a secret that baffles modern scientists of the whole civilized World. -- ---*-- ---- COURTEOUS.

At the first appearance of a cold the Syrup will be found a most efficient remedy, arresting de­ velopments and speedily healing the affected parts, so that the ail­ ment disappears. A medical journal gives particu­ lars of experimental cases in which sugar was employed as a tonic and invigorator. One patient, subject to the most violont headaches from hunger or lack of food, discovered that the pressure in the head was considerably relieved .when a few lumps of sugar dipped in water, were eaten very slowly. Further experimerits’are being made with a view to demonstrating the value of lump sugar as a luncheon where other food is not to be had. It would be a simple and easy matter (the writer points out) to carry half-a-dozen pieces of sugar in one’s pocket , to be indulged in with no other accompaniment but,a glass of water.

Appropos of the recent announce­ ment in the Daily papers that the Traders Bank of Canada has just opened a Branch in Montreal, ref­ erence to Banking records show that this enterprising Institution has opened over twenty new Branches this year in Canada. Hitherto the efforts of the Trad­ ers Bank have been directed mainly to extending in Ontario and the West. Their recently opened Branch in Vancouver was in line with their general policy of expan­ sion, but the Montreal Branch now opened under the able Managa­ ment of Mr. Fred. W.

Seoretary :~C. G. Boll This Company now offers the remaining 50.00 shares of their Capital Stock to the public on the same terms as the first issue, viz., price 50c. per sharo, payable 20c. on application, 20c. on May 1st, 1910, and 20c. on August; 1st, 1910. Our first issue was for the purpose of obtaining money to erect three grain elevators of about 30.000 bushels capacity, each at the following places: Bow Island, Winnifred, and Seven Persons, The shares were all subscribed for within 11 days of the issue of the prospectus. The issue of the remaining 50,000 shares is for the purpose of obtaining money to erect two additional elevators, one at Bur­ dett and one at Chin, thus giving us a chain of elevators at towns for a distance of 80 miles along the Canadian Pacific Railway, to which is tributary OVER THREE MILLION ACRES OF THE FINEST WHEAT LAND HST THE WORLD, and to erect a mill of about 100 barrels capacity per day at Bow Island. We have selected Bow Island as the most suitable place to erect our mill for two reasons: First. NATURAL GAS has been discovered near the place in enormous quantities. One well is the second largest in the world and has a flow sufficient to produce 35,000 horse power constantly. We have arranged to secure a supply sufficient to produce 100 horse power for $1.05 per day of 10 hours. Consider this for a moment. Compare this with mills at Lethbridge and other places where fuel costs from $18.00 to $20.00 per 100 horse power per day—it means a clear SAVING TO THE SHAREHOLDERS of at least $17.00 PER DAY. Another reason for selecting Bow Island is that it is in the centre of our chain of elevators and is the largest grain producing centre between Taber and Medicine Hat—by building the mill joining our elevator we will be able to handle the grain into the mill in the most economical manner. ESTIMATED, PROFITS To those who are not familiar with the Elevator and Milling business, let us give a few conservative figures: A 30,000 bushel elevator will easily handle 150,000 bushels of grain during a sea­ son. The usual charge for handling the grain and loading into cars, including storage for 15 days, is 2 cents per bushel, which will produce a revenue of $3,000 for each elevator, or $1'5,000 for the five. The charge for elevator storage is three-fourths of a cent per bushel per month and as many farmers hold their grain until the following Spring the elevators are always full all Winter. Figuring three months’ storage, that will produce a further rev­ enue of at least $3,000, which brings the total earnings to $18,000, The annual operating expenses cannot by any possible combin­ ation of circumstances exceed $4,750.00 for the five elevators, leav­ ing us a net balance of $13,750.00. Our mill, with a capacity of 100 barrels per day and with flour selling at from $2.50 to $3.25 per hundred, and middlings at 75 cants per hundred, will, with wheat selling at 80 cents per bush­ el, give us a revenue of $63.00 per day; from which deduct $19— 00 per day for operating expenses and we have a net income of $44.00 per day, or over $14,000 per year. Our total net earnings Will enable us, after setting aside a sum for sinking fund, to pay a 25 per cent, dividend on the capital. _We will always be able to keep our mill running at its full ca­ pacity,; the mills in Lethbridge are running day and night full ca­ pacity and are behind with their orders. Don’t forget that we have NO COMPETITION. There Is not'an elevator or a mill in the territory we are operating in, and with the majority of the farmers giving us their support through being shareholders our unqualified success is assured. With elevators and mills earning such enormous dividends, is it any wonder that shares in companies only two years o'ld, for which 75c. was paid at formation, are now selling for $1,501 Elevator and milling shares are as safe as a bank and pay much greater returns. REMEMBER we have been given FREE SITES at every place where we are erecting, These sites are valuable now and a few years hence will be a considerable asset. The town of Bow Island has exempted ub from taxation for a period of .five years.
