Kitchener, whom he held in great personal esteem. Same time ago he. ordered Sir George Arthur's "Life" to be sent to him as soon as it was published, and His Majesty has been reading the volumes with great interest. It is his intention to have the book placed in such of the Royal libraries, His Majesty has a very fine collec- tion of biographies of famous soldiers and sailors of his time, and he often refers to them. He much prefers works of biography and travel to fic- tion, which, indeed, he rarely reside. * Queen Alexandra has always loved dogs. ,A,t one time there were some fifty dogs of almost every variety in the kennels at 'Sandringham, though these have now been reduced in num- bers, Borzois, or Russian wolfhounds, were at one time Her Majesty's favor- ites, and she was frequently photo- graphed with them, Several former four -footed favorites of Her Majesty are buried in the grounds of Sand- ringham. * * If Prince Henry takes seriously to. cricket he will be breaking away from the traditions of our Royal family, though his ancestor, Frederick Prince of Wales, 'George IL's son, died through being struck by :a cricket ball. King Edward VII. once made one run in a country -house match, but con- fessed that the game bored him. King George has, I believe, never played. At many functions at which Ring George is present, a well-known figure is Lord'Stamfordham, He is the prin- cipal private secretary to the King, and his work is very strenuous and exhausting. It is not generally known that, as •a matter of precaution, the King's de- tective is in his entourage whenever His Majesty fulfills a social or State duty; but even he is recognizable by many -and, needless to say, he is quite unlike the popular conception of a detective. *, * * There will be no one to controvert Mr, Balfour's right to his new title of "our most distinguished bachelor," conferred upon him by the Speaker in the House of Commons. But at West- minster he has as rivals several mem- bers of both Houses of Parliament,. notably his "brither Scots," Lord Hal- dane- and Sir Robert Horne. There is in the. House of Commons, in the opinion of Sir Donald Maclean, an ,alarmingly strong leaven of bachel- ors, of whom the more outstandin;.are Lord. Hugh Ceeil and Earl Winterton„ not forgetting the Prime Minister's two able lieutenants, Sir William Suth- erland and Sir, Philip Sassoon. * * * Even Dukes have to economize these days, and a further indication of that. fact is to be found in the scrapping of the famous conservatory at Chats- worth. It is now no mare than scrap - iron and broken glass. In a normal winter it took about three hundred tons of coal to heat the seven miles of piping in this build- ing, and if a spell of severe weather. set in the quantity has been knovnl to increase to five hundred tons. It can't. be done in these clays. * * 8:. d:. A good story is going the rounds regarding an encounter between Earl Haig, who does a lot of golfing, and a weather-beaten sportsman vrho was acting. as his caddie. Earl •Haig no- tided the caddie was round-shourdered, and wore ' neither Silver Badge nor medal ribbons. "Have you served?" asked the Field - Marshal. The eaddie hedged. "One Syria, which they hold under the of my brothers was a `Lifey,' one was I:ceaggue of Nations, just as the English a Tower Hamlet, and one was a First have the League mandate in Mesopo- Royal," he explained. "But you?" in- tania, although the minutes of the terposed Earl Haig. Well, I d sdn t League Council's meeting will pro - do anyfcztk, replied the caddie. But ',ably be found utterly barren of any record of either affair. EMIL FEISUL NO LONGER KING France Ready to Administer Mandate Over Syria. A despatch from Paris says -Emir Feisul is no longer King of Syria, The French Foreign Office announced on Thursday- that he was not. General Gouraud, who has captured Damascus, Feisul's Capital, has issued a proclamation stating that the Emir from now on is a private citizen.. and, furthermore, that Emir has been in- vited to leave the country with all his family. Syria has no new King yet, but it has a brand new Ministry, hand-picked by Gouraud, which has ac- cepted all the French .conditions, in- eluding a fine of 10,000,000 francs upon Damascus and the vicinity. The French now appear in a posi- tion to administer their mandate over I'm going to make good. I'm going to carry your blooinin' clubs for nuffink!,' I remember the late Bishop of Dur- ham chiefly as an admirable raconteur who never smiled at his own jokes. On one occasion the conversation turn- ed to infantile recollections, and we Feisul has not been heard from since Gouraud's troops entered Dam- ascus, He owes the French 80,000,000 francs they paid him "to feed the hungry Syrians," However, a con- siderable portion of this money bas beenreceived in munitions seised at Damascus, where Feisul stored much were all trying to outdo ane another, of his "food for hungry Syrians." But Dr. Moule easily carried off the honors, at least in fertility of imagin- ation. "I once heard my nurse say a bad word," he said reminiscently; "and I remember thinking, 'When I can talk I'll tell mother.' " Perhaps the cream of the joke lay in the fact that quite half the company present, .:being in- capable of suspecting a bishop of leg - pulling, took the story for sober truth. * * * A distressed M.P. remarked the other day, apropos the high cost of. Iiving. "Even politicians need food.' That is true, but the needs of politi clans vary, and the .differences be - green Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. As- quith are not confined merely to ideas about legislation. Mr. Asquith, al- though he enjoys simple meals, likes them good and square, and excitement never takes away his appetite, He did not go short rations at Paisley. Mr. Lloyd George, on the other hand, is said to eat very little during elect tion campaigns subsisting mainly on, China tea and cigarettes. He follows a notable precedent in this direction. Mrs. Gladstone once said of her hus- band that, at periods of great tension, he would "Iive on the wind if he could." -BIG BEN. Finds Timber From Which � . Mayflower Was Built A despatch from London says:=The Daily News announces that Dr. Ren - del Harris, noted Quaker, has discover- ed part of the original timbers from which the Mayflower was built, in a barn at Old Jordans, Buckingham- shire. The owner of the barn at the time of the departure of the May- flower, is said to have owned a quar- ter share in the vessel. �:4--•-- Provisions Conveyed to Irish Troops by Airplane A despatch from London says: - Provisions were taken by airplane on Thursday to the English troops sta- tioned in Dunloe, County Kerry. The move was made necessary when it was found impossible to get food to the soldiers in any ether way, due to the holding up of supplies on the rail- roads by'the Sinn Fein. Fear Sedition on Increase' in India A despatch from Bombay, India, says: -The Indian situation is becom- ing graver, and there is daily danger of a general outbreak: The debate in the House of Lords on the Amritsar decision has accentuated racial an- tagonism, and seditious utterances are widespread throughout India.

The Gift of Sleep. Sleep, at the right time, is one of man's foremost friends and benefac- tors; at the wrong time it is a curse, for it comes as the paralyzing incubus upon his hand and his mind when he should be broad awake and at his work, It is a solemn thing to think about, that if we average eight hours of every twenty-four in slumber we are in the Land of Nod for a -third of our whole term on earth, At this rate the man who lives to the age of sixty has spent twenty years In bed. It has made some active spirits irate against nature and the establish- ed order that they should have to spend so nntch tine unconscious and unproductive; the idleness has irked them, and, burning the candle at both ends in their defiance of physiological laws, they have generally paid for it. The rule is that we rest, not that we may form habits of sloth and self- indulgence, but that we may. find re- creation and recuperation for the day that follows the night -the clay that tests our mettle and urges to endea- vor. Sleep is supposed to send us back into the fray clear-eyed, serene,' corroborated, "I climb when I lie down," said that poet of the mystics, Henry Vaughan; and by it he meant, that his finite mortality had risen; star by star till it laid hold upon in -1 finity. The apparent humility was an aspiration. He stood at Heaven's gate not by the pride of life, not by self-assertion, not by being eccentric, but in the mortification of vanity and with all "chastening and subduing of the soul." Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson were two of no small num- ber of writers who wrote in bed be- cause of the comfortable relaxation and the seclusion. The wits of neither were benumbed, and you could not call eibher of these prolific and suc- cessful authors lazy. But it does not follow that their inhale in respect to a recumbent posture for authorship will succeed in copying their happy graces in the way of a literary style. The strong man seeks a workroom, not a resting place, He stays at work till his work is done. Ile trains himself -with an Edison not to --let himself sleep till he has tracked the shy idea he is hunting to its lair. Men whop have followed an engineering car- eer afield=men who have fought a war -mien who have sailed ' a ship through a storm -men of action in all times and places -can (if tb,ey will) tell us how they have made sleep sub- servient to their own iron wills. They have done their duty and let the res- pite wait till the task was ended and the wage was earned. a Gat Lice I �t'©a Doxa't Weaken Oscar e.

The Commis ion of Conservation has received report; from a timber of points in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick indicating that this is an exceptionally heavy seed year far white spruce in eastern Canada. There promises to be a good yield of white pine seed as well. Last year there was practically no spruce seed in eastern Canada. Heavy seed years for spruce and pine usually occur **only every fourth year, therefore those who wish to eoll.ect the seed should take ad- vantage of the abundant;.,crop this year. Wh.te spruce seed ripens in Sep- tember and the cones should be col- lected just before they open. If picked 4 too early, the seeds will be immature, and if left till the cones open, the seeds will have dropped out, The increasing attention being. given to reforestation has developed a large home market for tree seeds. In addition to the various govern- mental and commercial nurseries, sev- eral of the pulp companies, including. the Laurentide, Abitibi, Spanish River and Riordan, have nurseries. Thera are also good markets in the "United States and Great Britain for Canadian tree seeds, Heretofore, the nurseries on this continent have had to depend largely on European seed, owing to the limitedamount of native seed col- lected. The European seed has not been entirely satisfactory for our cli- mate and hardy native stock is prefer- red when obtainable. During the Inst few years the de- mand for tree seeds has always ex- ceeded the supply and this spring 310 per 1b. could be secured for white spruce seed. This, however, is excep- tionally high, 35 being considered a reasonable price. The cost of collect- ing and preparing the seed for the market varies with the local condi- tions, but in a good.seed year it should not exceed 32 per lb. Mankind are - always happier for having been happy; so that if you make them happy now, you make them happy twenty years heice by the memory of it.
