To catch „Wildcat
It was known that life—or the
absence of life---on Perim could
drive a. Man mad. Rut wild it
drive him Mad enough to make
him want to stay there longer?
That was the question that in-
triaged, a subaltern's friends in
Aden.
Perim, a hot, arid, desolate
island at the South end of the
Red Sea, contained, at the time,
nothing more than a thousand
tons of coal for the Navy, and
was garrisoned from Aden.
All that. Pernn's officer-in-
chargehad to do was to send
report's and returns to Aden A
month there Wa, enough to drive
him mad, so that was the usual
spell of duty,
One subeitern, however, wzote
to Men saying that he loved it,
and asking if he might stay there
for three months. Everyone was
pleased, especially his relief. His
reports and, returns came in :re-
gularly, often with a note say-
ing that still he enjoyed his stay
in Perim.
X11 went well until his CO.
went home on leave —and met
him in Piccadilly!
The bright young officer had
signed in ativanee all documents
for three months ahead, and
arranged for their periodic dis-
patch. Then he had signalled an
old tramp steamer and contract-
ed with the skipper to take him
home for ten pounds and bring
him back for a similar fee before
the expiry of his three months'
"tour of duty."
This is one of the recollections
of Major Patrick Grant in his
book "The Good Old Days,"
which is packed with breezy,
entertaining stories of service in
India, Mespot, Malaya, Africa
and other parts.
One of his most amusing an-
ecdotes canoe .ne a colonel who,
upon returning from a shoot,
entered the mess one day, look-
ing -very pleased. will himself:
"What luck, sir?" Grant asked.
"Just wonderful," the colonel
replied, "I got a hare, 'a' par-
tridge and a snipe with one bar-
rel of my gun.
"A snipe got up . . and, I shot
him. The noise of the report
alarmed a partridge which was
squatting not far off, and he got
up, and started flying away; but
the snipe, in falling, transfixed
the partridge through the back,
and they both fell to the
ground."
"Wonderful, sin"- said Grant,
"but what about the hare?"
"Oh . . well, the recoil of
my gun upset my balance and
I sat on the hare," he answered.
Difficult to deal. with, says the
author, were tigers that turned
up in, unexpected places. More
than once one had to be chased
off the Singapore golf course.
'One actually was found under
the billiard table in a hotel in
the middle of the city. Four
naval officers playing snooker
were unaware of its presence,
until it was shot .by a Sikh po-
liceman firing through a win-
dow.
A tall story? Yes — but true!
The Major recounts with mer-
riment the story of the night he
and some friends were dining in
a Nairobi hotel, when they heard
a crash outside. This was fol-
lowed by yells and growls and,
grabbing anything that 'would
serve as a weapon, everybodY
made for the door.
They had' difficulty in control-
ling their laughter at the sight
that greeted their gaze, Stagger-
ing up the stepi, covered with
dust, was a man, shouting: I've
just run over a confounded
lion!"
Racing along the road on his
bike, he'd rut into a lion that
was lying in the road He was
thrown from his machine and
landed in the dust five yards
away. The lion scooted up a side
street in panic!
Grant himself had a strange
encounter with a bear while
camping on a slope in the Niti.
Pass to Tibet. As the animal
charged down the slope at him,
he leapt for his rifle,• but hadn't
time to take aim.
Luckily, the bear tripped over
the tent ropes and went heads
over-heels down the hillside,
caterwauling and yowling all the
way,
Grant laughed, so much, he
couldn't shoot. At the bottom the
bear picked itself up' and ran
for its life,
In Ninon Rajputana, Grant
was bothered by a wildcat which
used, to come almost every night
into his rooms. So long as it just
killed rats, Grant didn't Mind,
but it began scrounging around
for food. That annoyed Grant,
so One day he put several sheets
of sticky flypaper OD the floors.

A MO SPLASH OP COLOlt
' It's easy to make a big splash
with flowers even around a.
summer cottage, country lane or
other Otto where particular and
constant care is Impossible, The
best plan, in any of these cases,
is to stick to things like petunias,
nasturtherns, cosmos, marigolds,
zinnias, Asters, and, similar plants
which are not only easily grown
but which also will bloom Steadi-
ly for Weeks, With only little
care at first these will practically
look after themselves. It is best
to have solid beds of one flower,
though not necessarily the same
color, for the showiest results
and one should include some
of the newest • and brightest
varieties. A long 'bed of petunias
about three feet wide will set off
any driveway, and roughly cir-
cular beds of zinnias, marigolds,
or some of ,the smaller things,
will make a wonderful show.
Then, ter the Smaller garden
there are alf Sorts: of tiny flowers
like alyssum, portulaca, poppies
and similar flowers which thrive
even in poor soil and once well
started will crowd out weeds and
go on blooming until fall.
SPREAD IT OCT
Today's garden is no longer
a feast and famine proposition,
with more peas, beans or corn'
than we can eat for a week and
then none at all, or with a great
showing of bloom in July but not
a single flOwer in 'August.
With a little planning- and a
good seed catalogue there is no
reason why flower* or vegetables
should not be yielding something
every day from tale first blooms
and greens in the spring until
long after the ground is frozen
hard -next •fall.
RUSHING THE,,SEASON
The average person does not
need any ‘encouragenient about
rushing the season, Most of them
ara far too inclined to tear out
the first fine day and plant every
single flower •and vegetable seed
they have purchased. Sometimes
they even plant in the rain and
very often long before the soil
is really fit to work. The ex-
perienced gardener, however,
knows that there are safe ways
of rushing the season, little tricks
that will produce flowers and
vegetables perhaps a week or
ten days ahead of the fellow next
door. But they don't get . these
early things simply by going out
and planting too soon and, in
the mud. They practice approved
short cuts.
Take such really warm
weather things as tomatoes,
melons or cucumbers among the
vegetables or some of the more
tender flowers. The experienced
gardeners will risk a small plant-
ing of these extra early, perhaps
ten days or two weeks before
the main plantings. But these
early rows of plants will be pro-
tected for the first weeks when
there is danger of late frost.
They will be covered with
spacial wax paper covers, or
panes of glass or perhaps' if one
doesn't mind extra •trouble simp-
ly covered 'loosely with news-
papers at night.
Then too, we may hurry
growth with extra fertilizer or
with specially prepared soil or
for a few extra early tomatoes
or petunias or we may get extra
big started plants and for the
first few weeks keep protected.
LOW COST BUT VITAL
Good vegetable or flower seed
meta but a few cents per packet
but is, is the most vital factor in
gardening operations. Without
good s9ed, especially suitable for
Canadian conditions and climate,
it doesn't make any difference
how much we cultivate, spray,
fertilize and water. Without good
seed we can't possibly have a
successful garden.
Two workmen sat down to.
eat their lunch and one began
unwrapping a harrow parcel
about half a yard long.
"What's that?" asked his
friend.
"Well, my wife's away, so I
made a pie for myself:"
"A bit long, isn't it?"
"Of course it's long — it's
rhubarb pie."

"If it snows mlich Mese," said
Kathie, "we Won't have any
school tomorrow," The joyful
enticipatiOn Of such a holiday
cOnfusce me — you'd think with
the bigger and better bend issues
the finer a n d fuller program
would have prompted consider-
able eagerness. It seems not to
be so, "The bus had all It.could
do to get up the hill tonight,"
she said.
In the continuing dispute
over then and now, the severity
of weather in former times
seems to win, possibly because
the old-timers shout louder, but
truth-to-tell we didn't very Of-
ten have a storm that stopped
school,
Another thing that compli-
cates comparisons is the tendene
cy to remember specific storms,
instead of weather in general,
and Kathie's remark led me to
do just that. It was a storm we
had in 1920 that came to mind
—one that filled in the country-
side and brought things to a halt,
The snow was so deep the
horses couldn't get around to
"break the roads"; it plugged up
a train so it stood three days;
and it filled in our cross-country
electric tracks so we had no
trolleys for weeks. They finally
let out the shoe factories so :the
men, could shovel and get the
cars going again, All the rest of
the winter the trolleys ran down
in a ravine with places fixed so
passengers could go down on
steps to get aboard.
This storm was northeasterly,
and began about ten o'clock in
the morning while we were all
at school. At noon-time the vil-
lage youngsters got home to
dinner all right, and came back
bundled and scarfed for the af-
ternoon session. But when things
let out for the day we trudged
off in snow that was • hip-deep
and swirling in a bitter wind.
I broke a path for the Pendle-
ten girls. They lived above us
on the road, and when I came
to my driveway I went right
on, with the Pendleton girl s
wading behind Indian file, heads
down and nobody talking. Then
t backtracked, and the storm had
already filled in our path.
Mother had gone Out to throw
scratch-grain to my hens and
pick up the eggs, because the
storm brought darkness early
that night, so I didn't have to
do that. I had my supper, and
passed the usual winter evening
at home with grammar and
arithmetic, popcorn and apples,
and a pitch game with Uncle.
Then I took my kerosense lamp
and headed for my attic room.
The house was wired for electri-
city, but they hadn't run a cir-
cuit up into the attic, so I work-
ed off coal-oil. The little room
bad sloping ceilings, under the
roof, and red roses on the wall-
paper. The one single-sash win-
dow faced northeast by east, and
had to be taken out of the cas-
ing if I wanted air.
It was a wonderful boy's room,
away up above the affairs of the
family, but uninhabiltable by
the newer standards of comfort.
It was hotter than a sawmill
engine all summer, and worse
than Greenland's icy mountain
all winter. But I made out, and
always thought I had the best
room in the house.
A winter storm in that room
was a magnificent experience,
and this one I speak of topped
them all. I didn't open my win-
dow, of course, and it rattled all
night in the casing. The thin
plaster and the flowery wall-
paper had no insulation quali-
ties whatever, and beyond them
were the pine roofers, the cedar

Q. How can I make an inex-
pensive furniture polish?
A. Use equal • parts of raw
linseed oil and turpentine. Pour
into a bottle and shake. Put a
little of the oil on cheesecloth,
rub over the entire surface, and
polish with a clean cloth.,
Q. How can I make moist
crackers crisp?
A, When crackers absorb moi-
sture, they lose their crispness.
Place them on a pie pan or bak-
ing sheet, and ,b,ake in a hot oven
for about ten minutes.
Q. How can I remove stains
from knives?
A. The majority of 'stains on
knives can be 'quickly removed
by rubbing with a piece of raw
potato.
Q. How can I remove,, ink
stains from wood?
A. Moisten, with oxalic acid,
let it remain for a few minutes,
and then rinse. Do, not apply to
finished wood or' furniture, as
this removes the varnish.
Q. How can I stop a leak in •a
pipe until a plumber's services
can, be secured?
A .Mix `whiting and yellow
soap into a thick paste, with a
little water. Apply to the leak
and it will stop at once.
shingles, and winter. My head
was ten inches below that.
I was nkarne in bed. after I
got there and stopped quaking.
Speed was a great thing. It was
no joke that a boy could blow
out his lamp and be under the
covers before it got dark. The
only heat in that bedroom was
what I made myself by coiling
up in a ball under the comfort-
ables and blankets.
I remember how the rafters
creaked that night from the
wind, and how the storm sound-
ed like sandpaper on the shin-
gles, as the wind whipped the
stinging particles against the
roof, But I slept' all right, and
it was still snowing when Mo-
ther opened the door at the foot
of the attic stairs and called,
"Hurry- — it's the most won-
derful morning you ever saw,
more snow than you ever heard
of, and still coming!"
I remember this pleased me.
It' was fun to have a lot of
snow. My clothes were well
cooled down and I got them on
in the usual nothing-flat. Down-
stairs Mother had the kitchen
light on, because snow covered
the windows. "You'll have to
hurry," she said. "It will take
longer to get to school this
morning."
It did. I was really late, ex-
cept that I fell in with the tea-
cher at the post office, and she
was late too, so she couldn't
very well call anybody tardy,
It snowed that day until mid-
afternoon, and I'm sure if we'd
had buses then we'd never have
got home. We heard that a train
was stalled on the main line,
and they'd have to shovel 800
yards of track to get a snowplow
through. Some people thought
the trolleys wouldn't run again
until spring. On the roads they
went out around big drifts, right
over fence.
Neal Fitts made his expected
witticism: "Wore out two snow-
shovels, I did, , right down to
the nubs, ,just getting to the
shed." And the old timers were
all saying that while this was a
fair storm, it was nothing com-
pered to what they used to have.
