TELEPHONES AND EXPRESS CQ'S,
A total of 1.396 telephone companies
are operating in Canada, according to
the, telephone statist -ca
tabled in the
Commons
last week In the previous
year reports come only from 1,136 com-
panies.
A total of 15,092 persons were employ-
ed by the companies at the end of June
last, a decrease of about 1,700:•• -The
wages, however, increasedfrom $8,250,-
253 in 1914 to $8,357,029 in 1915. Aggre-
gate capitalization is $74,284,991, and
the cost $84,892,583. Revenues last year
were $17,601„672 and operating expences
$12,830,715. Wires cover nearly a
million and a half miles,
Another report from the comptroller
of railway statistics relate to express
companies operating in Canada. The
gross earnings of all the companies in
1915 was $11,311,791, as against $12,-
646,152 in 1914, operating expenses
totalled $5,632,904 and payments to rail-
ways and carrying agencies were $5,-
610,224 deducting these two items from
gross earnings and the net revenue was
only $66,668.
This is a very marked falling off com-
pared with 1914 when the balance was
$383,456, while in 1913 it was $759,614.
War conditions and the operatibns of
the parcels post have undoubtedly af-
fected the companies' revenue.

TALISMAN OF THE CELTS.
Romance of the Lia Fail, a Curious
Piece of Stone.
In every strongly Irish newspaper,
either in America or in Ireland, there
is the oft repeated threat: "Wait until
we recover the Lia Fail, Then Ire-
land will become a republic." And the
readers have asked again and again:
"What is the Lia Fail? Where is it,
and what is its magic power?" Those
who remember the Fenian fiasco,
some years ago, will recall the bat-
tlecry of the troops, "Ho, for the
Lia Fail!" The recovery of this Celtic
talisman, however, would involve
something more than a. victory over
some outlying province of Great Brit-
ain, for it is a part of the coronation
chair in Westminster Abbey. It is a
Curlew piece of stone, a little more
than two feet long, and is said to be
the identical stone on which 7acob
rested his head when he had his mar-
velous dream). It was taken to Ire-
land, according to tradition,before the
Christian era, and its removal from
that island meant the death of liberty
and independence to the Celt.
After a century of possession it was
conveyed to the Ionian islands,' to be
tiled in a coronation ceremony, and
Was never recovered. The kings of
Scotland seized and held it as their
Mascot By Edward X. it was carried
to London among the spoils of war
When the Scottish kingdom began to
totter. 'Idle son of Edward attempted
to restore the stone, to the Scotch, but
already it bad taken such hold on the
superstition of the English that they
feared for their country, and it mob
Prevented its restoratioli -Exchange.

AN OBJECTIVE POINT
The question has often been asked,
somewhat facetiously perhaps "do you
keep cows, or 00 they keep you?" To
many dairymen this has started a train
of thought resulting in vastly unproved
prospects.
To come right down to business, why
do you keep cows? Surely it is in order
that they may contribute handsomely
towards income. If you are already
satisfied on that point, well and good;
but, one excellent result of cow testing
is the solid fact that it helps men to
increase their income considerably; that
is one main objective point reached.
The sante story is repeated in all prov-
in^es in the Dominion, it runs something
like this; from anlan atBarnston, Que.,
"My cows average almost two thous-
and pounds of milk more than two
years ago," or again from a man at
Petersburg, Ont., "I have increased
fourteen hundred pounds of milk per
ccw, and hope to go up another fifteen
hundred," or this, from a man at Hagers-
ville, Ont., "My herd is pretty near
double in three years by weeding out",
and once more, from St. Boniface, Que.,
"My seven cows brought in $145 more
this year, my records showed me it
paid to care for them better."
The dairy division Ottawa,•will gladly
send milk record forms if you write for
them. Be sure that each cow pays.

CARROT MARMALADE
Peel the carrots and boil until ten-
der. Press through a colander and to
every pint of pulp add a pint of sugar
and the grated peel and the juice of a
lemon. Boil slowly until the mixture
jells. A homesteader made a very
good imitation of orange marmalade
by using 2 tablespoonfuls of vinegar
instead of the lemon, and the candied
peel of 1 orange chopped fine. Every
orange her family used was carefully
peeled and the peel preserved for
future use. The peels were put into
fruit j(lrs of Water, the water being
changed every day. When six or more
peels were on hand ' they Were boiled
until tender, drained and placed in a
saucepan with one cupful each of granu-
lated sugar, and boiling water to each
six orange peels, They Were slowly
boiled until transparent, adding boiling
water from time to time. 'When done
they and the syrup that remained Were
placed in fruit jars the same as any
preserves. It was used to flavor ginger
cakes and puddings, fruit cakes, mince
pies, or dried and used as a confection.
SWORDS OF ,IAPAI ..
Religious Rites In Their Making and
a Final Blessing.
That the Japanese are past mestere
in the art of sword making Is proved
by the splendid weapons, equal to Masa
of Toledo and Damascus, which they
turnThe out, T e actual methods of sword
making in Japan are jealously guard,
ed, an extraordinary feature of the in-
dustry being the religous eeretnoay,
which accompanies every process of
their manufacture. The walls of every
sword making shop in Japan will be
found to be covered with allegorical
representations of the sword makers
and the chief goddess of the Shintos.
Evil spirits are kept away by charms
consisting of bits of paper and wisps
of straw, while, should any woman en-
ter the shop, disaster would certainly
come to the swords that are being made
and to their wielders. Consequently
women are absolutely debarred from
entering business as sword makers,
while not only is prayer offered up re -
fore the work begins, but various. re-
ligious rites peculiar to tate Japanese
are performed in order that the swords,
when finally completed, maybe said
to have been well and truly made.
Even the final processes of polishing
and sharpening are characterizedby
certain religious ceremonies, and final*
ly the weapons are offered, one by one,
to the sword god to be blessed. This
ceremony consists in placing the
swords in front of the goddess of the
Shintos on the wall, with an offering
of sake. rice and sweetmeats, after
which prayer scrolls are read and
blessing upon the work is invoked:
KEEP IN HARNESS.
Why It Is Dangerous to Retire From
Active Work.
In Farm and Fireside Dr. David E.
Spahr gives some advice to workers
who are planning to retire from their
callings and enjoy a peaceful old age.
"The abrupt change from an active
member of the producing class to an
idle member of the consuming class,"
he says, "is too much for a man who
is facing the setting sun. And just
here is the excuse and reason for this
article. 1 want to sound a note of
warning to those contemplating such a
move -'Safety first.'
"For a man in declining life whose
arteries are already beginning to hard.
en from indulging in rich and st mu
Iating foofl the change should be made
gradually, allowing his system to ac-
custom itself gradually to the changed
conditions. A lessened amount of rich
and stimulating food should be indulg-
ed in. ilegutr hours must be main-
tained, regular exercises that will bring
into play and actively all the different
muscles of the body in order to insure
the elimination of the waste products
of the body.
"A sedentary life, inactive and pur-
poseless, with nothing to live for, no
object in view but to live and eat and
wait and waste away, with a lessened
income and greater expense, with more
and greater demand upon the purse
strings -how great the temptation to
become restless, nervous and irritable."
Tires Must Be Matched.
The Scientific American calls atten-
tion to a common cause of rear axle
troubles, the same being the variation
in diameter of 8ifferent makes of tires.
Though these are theoretically 34 by 4
inches, in practice they vary as much
as half an inch and sometimes even
more. Some of the results of the use
of odd tires are oil Iealting from the
rear axle case and the brake drum of
the wheel with the smaller tire, diffi-
culties in steering and tires wearing
Unevenly. The moral, of course, is
that tires of the same type and make
should be used on wheels of the same
axle.
Hugo and His Disciple.
A young . man, an admirer of the
great poet, attended one of Victor
ugo's receptions, became engaged in
tir'gument and lost his temper. Hugo
solemnly rebuked him, and be sub-
sided. Presently the guests retired.
One of them, however, had forgotten
his umbrella and returned to get it.
Looking through an open door from
'the vestibule, he perceived the young
Man on his knees before the poet, sob-
bing out his apologies for his disre-
'speet, while Victor Hugo, with almost
regal dignity, extended his band to
him and bade him rise.
R. L. Stevenson and Women.
t It may perhaps he recalled that It
'was to the late Dr. Trudeau that
Stevenson Once admitted that he felt
he had been rash when he promised a
lady over the dinner table that he
would put a real woman into his next
book. "I've often wondered, Steven-
son," said the doctor, "but never
thought to ask, why do you never put
a real woman in a story?" "Good
'heavens, Trudeau," was the reply,
"when I have tried 1 rind she tacks like
it, grenadier!"
Only a Poser.
"Be isn't a true Bohemian," said the
poet. "He's a poseur"
"How do you know?" asked the art -
"Buhl" snorted the poet, with fine
'stern. "I don't believe he owes a cent
in the world!"

IN MEMORIAM
Written on the death of 11i'r, John
Willits, who died March 29t1, 1.916,.
Dear father, sweet father. no tongue
eau express
The hours of sorrow and loneliness,
We spend now without thee, our father
80 dear,
Who ever was ready to comfort and
cheer.
Do not ask us if we miss him.
Oh, there's such a vacant place,
Oft we think we hear his footsteps,
Or we see his smiling face.
The home looks so lonely, so gloomy,
and sad,
With no father there to make our
hearts glad.
When days are the k and friends are
few,
01 father how ae long for you.
With tearful eyes we watched you,
father,
Going on your homeward way.
Although we loved you father dear
We could not make you stay.
But when we meet in that blest land,
With joy our near's shall swell,
To meet dear father and mother, gone
before
No more to say farewell.
We children are sad.
Our hearts with grief are given;
But oh, we think it is wrong to weep,
When thou art safe in heaven.
