She had seen several gynaecologists, but the outlook was hopeless, Desperate, she felt that she would lose husband and home if she couldn't produce a child, and asked tin doctor to aid her in a plan, She told her husband that she was going to have a child and his whoe manner changed. From being a cruel brute, he be- came a devoted husband. She arranged to adopt a baby and asked the doctor to Put her in a nursing home for her "confine- ment," ordering that there were to be no visitors, He wasn't happy about this, but after con- sulting her clergyman, agreed, At the appropriate time she went to him for two weeks, then returned home with a fine child. The plan was so carefully carried out that there were no complications, and an unhappy marriage was changed to an ideal one. sr DE LUXE HORSE HOTELLCarpeted with 10 inches of packed dirt over four inches of gravel, portion of horse barn pictured, above, is only a small part of 9, de luxe horse hotel for the elite of the equine world • now tinder construction at Yonkers Raceway.

In the last five years a number of im- proved red strains of Delicious have been propagated, most of these being higher intensity colour sports of Starking.• Ex- amples' of these are,,,Red King, Hi-Erly Red and Bisbee Red. A high colour bud ,mutation of the Richared is being sold as Royal Red. All of these strains ' are characterized by early develop- ment of red colour, • • * With-the McIntosh variety the Summerland Red and Rogers New York Red are, blush strains with greatly improved colour over standard McIntosh, and in British Columbia, at least, are almost exclusively planted. Red strains of Winesap haVe been grown for many years, but solid red or -blush strains such as the old Seeando have proved unsatisfactory „because of ,a ten- dency to' russetting and shrivel- ling. It appears today that the best red strains of Winesap are the Improved Seeando and the Ruble Red, both originating from the Mosebar strain. Lovelorn Captain. Forbids VVedding They met during a holiday cruise in the Mediterranean-„,- a pretty iflnglish widow of 23 and a handsome young Irishman. Swiftly they fell in love under the stimulus of sun - drenched days and .sterlit nights. Then, in the shadows of porn- pelt with the dazzling Italian sky oYernead,‘ he, proposed and she accepted, 'Silt it was to be wedding with a difference-the ceremony was to take place aboard lite liner as she was crossing the Equator.. The fellow passengers were thrilled at this romantic idea; an archdeacon on the ship offer- ed to tie the knot and plans seemed complete. Then the captain stepped in-he was a bachelor who had been disap- pointed in love during his youth. "No wedding will take place on board while I'm in charge," he snapped, So the wedding had to be post- poned, But it took place a fort- night later in church, on shore, with the same archdeacon of- ficiating. Owing to a last-minute hitch in their wedding plans, ,a Kent couple had to go to sea to be married some years ago. The bridal couple had taken their .eats in a Ramsgate church when , the vicar 'suddenly dis-, covered that the banns had not been read in the bridegroom's parish-Tend he straight away forbade the ceremony. The-best mart, who had served in the navy,; then suggested that the• couple could be legally 'mar- ried, at sea provided, the cere- mony was performedAoutside the three-mile limit by a skipper holding a Board of Trade cer-; tificate. The couple dashed with .their relatives and friends in taxis to the harbor where they chartered a large motor-boat under a skipper• holding .such a "certifi- cate. Off went the boat, and the full service was carried out near, the East Goodwin lightship - despite a choppy sea! Cupid sometimes plays strange pranks in connection with ocean weddings. An attractive, forty-year-old woman left Liverpool for the United States toltarry a school- days' sweetheart. Aboard the liner' she met a middle-aged stranger and the pair fell, .in love at first One moonlight night he proposed to her and they were married by a clergyman-passenger before the liner reached America. Her old lover met her and there was an awkward scene on the land- ing stage!

It records the beginning of the 'heavens and the earth, darkness and light, life and death, man and woman, marriage and so- ciety, arts and crafts, sin and 'sacrifice, judgment and mercy, rebellion and fellowship, failure and promise, degradation and redemption, differences in langu- age and much more. Our knowledge of the universe is steadily increasing. The galaxy of the Milky Way, of which our solar system is an insignificant part, is shaped like a dish and 'has a diameter of about 400,000' light-years. A, light-year is ap- proximately six trillion miles. With recent studies by means of 'the new Mount Palomar tele- acope we are told that nearly a billion of these galaxies some- • 'times called 'island universes' .can be seen by means of photo- ,graphs. We. have been learning much :in the submicroscopic realm. The infinitesimal atoms with their electrons, are as marvellous as 'the great Systems we can see. And God made it 'all. But God's crowning 'work was man. Man is no revision of the .ape but a creature distinct from all others.

Hall. ,„,quired. Considarable cleaning is necessary if a -broken egg runs down through the basketful. The procedure at the Experimental' Far mat Harrow, Ont., is to fasten a small wooden box, a little larger than a half egg case, On, wall in each pen at thead level. The eggs, from the nests are put in trays in this box until it is convenient to take them to the egg room. A square- of cloth tacked to the cupboard top and let hang curtainwise in front acts as a door to keep out dust. TaCked on the bottom of the cloth is a light strip of wood to keep it hanging in place. Remov- ing eggs from the' nest at ,fre- quent intervals is very import- ant in keeping down the number of soiled eggs and this cupboard is always handy as a temporary holding glace., • * • With most red varieties of ap- ples, colour development is basically of, a striped pattern. On young trees and trees well ex- posed to sunlight, good colour develops, but on old crowded' trees poor colour is common. ,Since apples are graded and sold on a colour basis any means for increasing colour is of great economic importance. Fortunately, sports or muta- tions resulting in apples of high colour intensity have been dis- covered for almost all known red varieties of apples. These sports usually are found as a small branch on a tree, and de- velop from a single bud muta- tion. Buds taken from the sport reproduce the colour mutation. • • * The best known red sports are Of the. Delicious variety. The first two of these were the Starking in 1924 and the Richared in 1926. Since then many red strains of The Minister ;-of .Agrciulture the ,Right 116nm:treble 'James G. Gardiner, announced recently" that the .Agriciiltdral,Prieei"SUP port Board had been authorized to provide. a support' price tor Canada First Grade dry skim- ', med milk on the basis of a price of 17 cents per pound for spray. process and 14 cents per pound for roller process, f.o.b. storage at , certain 'designated storage points throughout Canada. The Minister stated that he hoped 'by introducing this addi- 4ional support for the dairy inr dustry that sufficient stability would be proVided to encourage producers to maintain their Present production 'of milk. Con- sumption of dry skimmed milk in Canada is increasing annual- ly so it has been considered de- sirable to maintain approximate- ly the present market price for dry skimmed milk during the spring and summer flush Pr9- duction period. When an egg is first laid it is free from stains.,However, as hens are not the most careful of creatures nor the ordinary hen house the tidiest of ' places its fresh appearance does not last long 'without protectiOn. Perhaps the most persistent enemy of egg cleanliness is dampness, Stains found on eggs are due to 'moisture. Wet litter, for instance, is the pad and the birds feet the stamps that put a good many stains on eggs. Ex- 'cessive moisture in litter is a serious problem in itself but if it, can be eliminated by more insulation in the house, proper ventilation or suitably managed deep litter, fewer dirty eggs will be one of the general benefits. * * 'Best design is also important in egg cleanliness. A nest not built to hold litter to at least a depth of three inches should be remodelled to this capacity. Ainple litter helps cover soiling materials and provides a cushion against breakage. Although straw is often the handiest Material on the farm' it has the drawback of sticking to eggs and if damp causes staining. Wood shavings, available at a low price in many parta of Canada, make an excellent litter. Any nest litter should be changed from time to time. The ratio 'of hens per nest is also important, the recommended number being not more than five per nest. • * Cleanliness of eggs is such a general requirement that most poultry supply catalogues depict egg cleaning devices. These range frotri simple hand buffing pads to automatic egg Washing machines With special deter- gents.

Sold 'His 'Beard Hair at a Time A so-called "holy man," wan- dering round the Villages of the Upper Chindwin River valley in 'Central. - Burma, did a brisk trade selling strands of his flow- ing beard, at around two dollars each-to people who believed that If they • burned the hair and drank its ashes in water they would be protected for the rest of their lives against all. disease. It's astonishing what some gul- lible people will believe when they are•seeking cures for minor ailments. Up to a few years ago spiders' ,webs were still being used in, some parts of the West of England foci healing cuts. `Old' people living in the Peak District used to believe that if they shredded horse-radish in a jug and poured hot ale over it, the resultant brew would cure rhelmatiSm if taken three times day. ."! A bygone "cure" for a stye on the, eyelid was to; rub it with yet black, cat's tail. In some parts of Sbitthein France, poultices were made of swallows' nests, Equally silly was the belief that a piece of. string worn round the waist would ward off sciatica, There was one old Sussex shepherd 'who always carried a "cramre bone"--the patella bone of a.sheep-to prevent attacks of cramp , in, bad weather.

As he had no ready money :available it was suggested' that he should write cheques. Two -signatures were required, so he asked the. poet W. B. Yeats to 'sign, and, the actors read on their cheques: :Yours, very, sincerely, W. B. Yeats." Dr. Solomons thiriks he must be one of the" few men in the world who've. heard a famous pianist perform on the harmoni- •ca, accompanied on the piano by a famous harmonica player"r.
