t VURCE IN EGYPT..
Ninety Out of Every Hundred Mating.
Thera gnd Disastrously.
There is one country in the word,
at least, where divorce is more fre-
quent than in the United States. In
Egypt 90 per cent of marriages end itt
divorce, says Elizabeth Cooper in her
book, "The Harlin and the Purdah,"
and it has been observed that two peo-
ple who live to old ago together with-
out one of them haying been divorced
are rarely found.
Divorce can be had for tncompata•
bility by mutual consent, Mrs. Cooper
says, without recourse to the courts,
but if the wife wishes to be free and
the husband will not permit it the wo-
man may go before a judge anal state
her case, and if her charges are proved
she will be granted her petition. Often
a woman will return her dower or
agree to forfeit the part not yet paid,
and in many cases the wife makes a
money payment to the avaricious has -
band in return for her liberty.
Divorce is easier for the Egyptian
husband than for the wife, according
to htrs. Cooper, and following a di-
vorce the woman is commanded to re-
main single three months, while the
roan may remarry immediately.
How We Get Our Canned Fish,
The fishing parties usually stay out
from ten days to three weeks. They
carry ice with them, and the moment
the fish are taken from the hooks they
are cleaned and put in the ice and
kept there until they reach the cold.
storage plant. They are washed as
soon as they are lauded and shipped
in cold storage ears direct to the mar-
kets,
arkets, or they may be kept for some
time before shipping.
The next step is to dip each fish four
or five times in fresh water until it
becomes entirely incased in a thin
sheet of clear ice. It can then be held
in cold storage at a temperature of 4
degrees below freezing until it is need-
ed for export The fish get a fresh
coating of ice before they are shipped.
They are then wrapped separately in
vegetable parchment paper and are
packed in paper lined boxes of 375
pounds capacity and sent eastward in
the cold storage trains.—Christian Her-
ald.
erald.
The Medieval Kitchen,
It was the middle ages before the
kitchen had been raised to the dignity
of an established apartment. Strange
doings went on in those medieval
kitchens. Butchers slaughtered ani-
mals there, which were skinned and
dressed as well as cooked in the kitch-
en. The family blacksmith kept his
fire there and repaired the plows and
wheels of the estate. Coal began to be
used as a kitchen fuel in 1245, though
not generally for 200 years atter. The
oven did not come into use until the
year 1400, and then it was the old
fashioned brick oven, which persisted
for hundreds of years. The stove when
invented took the place of the separate
oven and the fireplace, with its hang-
ing pmts.
Cigars a Century Ago.
The war of 1814 brought the Mgar to
Paris with the English. Shortly after
Waterloo, says the Springfield Repub-
lican, Roger de Beauvoir declared:
"The cigar is the last word of dandy-
ism, the final detail by which the fin-
ished gentlemen of our time may be
identified. It is at the same time the
supreme elegance and the supreme in-
solence of our generation. One cannot
too highly recommend to would be
lions to use it and even to abuse it"
Domestic Dilemma.
"Charley, dear," said yotang Mrs.
Torkins, "would you enlist if your
country called you?"
"I don't know what to say. If I an-
swer 'No,' you'll say I don't lave my
country, and if I answer 'Yes' you'll
say I don't like to stay at home,"
Doing Hie Hest.
Small Boy (at depot)—Want your
suit case carried, mister? Traveler—
Why, my boy, you are too little to
carry a heavy suit case. Small Boy --
I know it, sir, but I thought perhaps
you would give me a nickel for offering
to carry it.
Whole Hog or None.
The old saying "Whole hog or none"
refer: to Mohammed allowing his foI-
lowers to eat ala except one portion of
a pig, but falling to mention what
the portion was. so that if a 31oham-
ai:t•dan did not leave pork strictly alone
he wield as well consume the whole
(.,,g as risk eatle:: any part or it.

of their daughter, Janet I,Yl., to Dr.
John Wilmer Peek of Henseli, On-
tario. The marriage will take place
at an early date,
H. McLay, secretary -treasurer of the
County of Bruce, sent out the checks
on Saturday for July payments from
the patriotic fund. There are 243
families drawing on the fund and $4,-
700 was the total amount paid for the
month.
On Monday, the 7th inst., Mrs. Don.
ald McDonald reached the ripe old age
of 99 years. She now resides with her
son, Mr, Angus McDonald, on Victoria
street, Kincardine. Quite a large
number of citizens took occasion to call
and pay their respects to this splendid
old pioneer, Her maiden name was
Mary McGinnis. She was born in
Pictou, N. S. In 1851 she came to the
Township of Huron, settling on the 6th
concession, on the fartri now owned by
Mr. Frank Funston.
Mrs. Jean Logan, widow of the late
Mr. John Logan, a pioneer of Huron
county, died on Tuesday of last week.
They had settled in Egmondville, near
Seaforth, before railways ran through
the section. The fate Mrs. Logan was
born in Auchinleck, Ayrshire, Scotland,
eighty-four years ago, and had been
in Canada for over sixty years. She
was a staunch Presbyterian, having
been a member of Chalmer's Church
for over twenty-five years during her
residence in Toronto.
Mr. James Dick, of the Dick House,
Seaforth, was recently presented by
one of the hens in his flock, with the
largest hen egg we have ever seen and
we doubt if it has an equal. It meas-
ures 9 1.2 by 71-2 inches and in addition
to its size it has another peculiarity.
Within the outer shell was a second
egg as perfect as the first and contain-
ing like it a single yoke within the shell,
the inside egg being about the size of a
bantam's eggs.
Mr. Wm. Swanson, a machinist in
the employ of the Hunter. Bridge and
Boiler Company, died at an early hour
Sunday morning at his home on
Mechanics avenue, Kincardine.
Apparently in his usual health during
the evening, about midnight he was
seized with a severe attack of coughing
and death resulted from a rupture of a
blood vessel in the brain. The late Mr.
Swanson was in his 50th year. and went
to Kincardine from Thedford about 25
years ago.
CANADA'S TRADE INCREASES
Canada's aggregate trade for the
twelve months ending with May, 1916,
reached the enormous total of $1,563,-
230,513, This is an increase of nearly
half a billion over the pre-war year of
1913, The increase is mainly to be
found in the volume of goads exported,
Canadian produce exported alone
totalled $820,000,000, as against $432,-
000,000 in 1915, $429,000,000 in 1914, and
$358,000,000 in 1913.
The effect of the war is evident in
increased exports in all classes of
goods. Exports of the product of the
mine increased from $57,000,000 in
1013 to $68,000,000 in 1916; of the
fisheries from $16,000,000 to $23,000,-
000; of the forest from $43,000,000 to
$52,000,000; animal products from
$45,000,000 to $107,000,000; agricul-
tural products from $149,000,000 to
$299,000,000, and manufactured goods
from $45,000,000 to $261,000,000.
The heaviest export has naturally
been to the United Kingdom. In
1913 exports thither totalled $180,-
000,000, in 1916 they totalled $518,-
000,000, nearly treble that amount,
To the United States they increased
from $167,000,000 to $337,000,000.
Imports from the United Kingdom
decreased from $143,000,000 in 1913
to $86,000,000 in 1914; from the
United States from $445,000,000 to
$444,000,000; from France from $15,_
000,000 to $6,000,000, and from Ger-
many from $14,000,000 to $57,509.
The importation of dutiable goods
dropped from $447,000,000 in 1913 to
$811,000,000 in 1916. This is a failing
off of nearly one-fourth.. But the duty
collected in 1910 amounted to U14,000,-
000, as against $116,000,000 in 1013.
Of the Dominion's total imports, 74
per Cent. Came from across the border,
and only 14 per cent. from the United
Kingdom. Of Canada's total exports,
however, Only 88 per cent. went to the
United States and 59 per cent. to the
United Kingdom.
