DECLINE SUBSTITUTES
CURIOUS BEQUESTS
Copeland Townsend, owner of the
Hotel Majestic, New York, and former
manager of the Helmer House in
Chicago, has kept a curious record of
unusual requests made by the guests.
Here are a few cases:
A woman in mourning who refused
to ride on the elevators with anyone
else save the operator.
A man who wanted the same thing
for lunch every day in the year and
who wanted it on the table at two
o'clock whether he was there or not.
A Southerner who always insisted on
having seven blankets on his bed. Six
was not suffice.
A woman who demanded to taste
every article of food before it was fed
to her poodle dog.
A Spaniard who was afflicted with
insomnia and always wanted a regular
bed and one made on the floor so he
could alternate between the two.

How a Fad For Wearing Ribbons In
the Hair Was Started.
Drees experts keep changing the fash-
ions, its it were, in; self defense. At one.
time elaborately worked and hand em-
broidered blouses were the vogue. Then
machines were so perfected that ma-
chine Embroidered blouses outriyaled
the hand work, and fashion experts re-
taliated by designing blouses as plain
as possible.
The fashion for uncurled feathers
was the result of a wet day. Curled
ostrich fe,athers were on every hat,
when at some fashionable function the
rain descended in torrents and every
feather vas soon absolutely straight.
Milliners, always alert for an idea,
were shock with the appearance of
these feathers, and uncurled ostrich
plumes became the demand.
The Papillon for wearing ribbons In-
termingled with curls piled on the top
of the head originated in the reign of
Louis XI '. of France. A. certain Mlle.
Ventage was out hunting with the
king and court when a branch of a
tree caugl t her ,hair and pulled it
down. With quick resourcefulness she
leaned down, pulled orf her ribbon gar-
ter and twia`ed up her hair with it.
The king, noticing the pretty effect,
complimented Ler on her charming
coiffure, and from that moment the
"fontage," as it was termed, became
the rage.
Whooping Cough
Mr. Arthur Hainge, Ashton Farm,
Perley, Sask., writes:- "Two years
ago whooping cough was very bad in
this part of the country, our eight
months old baby caught it and had a
very severe attack. A neighbor advised
the use of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed
and Turpentine and we gave it and
nothing else with splendid results.
When the older brother took the whoop-
ing cough we used this medicir.e
promptly and prevented serious trouble
as the cough passed off in two or three
days.

WHISTLING JUGS.
Curious Musical Product of Peru's An-
cient Potteries.
The potters of ancient Peru used to
manufacture an ingenious musical in-
strument which may very properly be
called a whistling jug. In collections'
of antiquities it is called a silvador or
silvio. Specimens are obtained from
the ancient burial places of Peru.
One of these consists of two vases
whose bodies are joined one to the
other, with a hole or opening between
them. The neck of one of these vases
is closed, with the exception of a small
opening, in which a clay pipe is insert-
ed leading to the body of the whistle.
The closed neck of this double vase is
modeled into a representation of a
bird's bead.
When a liquid is poured into the open
necked vase the air is compressed in
the other, and in escaping through the
narrow opening is forced into the whis-
tle, the vibration producing the sounds.
Many of these sounds represent the
notes of birds; one in the collection at
the British museum imitates the notes
of the robin or some other member of
the thrush tribe peculiar in Peru.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEED GRAIN AND
POTATOES FROM THE DOMINION
EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 1916-17
13y instructions of the Hon. Minister
of Agriculture a distribution of
superior sorts of grain and potatoes
will be made during the coming winter
and spring to Canadian farmers. The
samples for general distribution will
consist of spring wheat (about 5 lbs.),
white oats (about 4 lbs.), barley (about
5 Ibs.), and field peas (about 5 lbs.).
These will be sent out, from Ottawa.
A distribution of potatoes in samples
of about 3 lbs. will be carried on from
several of the experimental farms, the
Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only
the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
All samples will be sent free by mail.
Only one sample of grain and one of
potatoes can be sent to each farm. As
the supply of seed is limited, farmers
are advised to order early. Requests
received after the end of December will
probably be too late.
Anyone desiring a sample should
write (post free) to the Dominion
Cerealist, Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
for an application blank.

Rice In Ecuador.
Rice is the principal article of diet of
all Ecuadorians, rich and poor. The
country produces excellent rice in lim-
ited quantities 'and imports largely.
The crop is harvested in May by strip-
ping the grains with the hands, the
average yield being twenty bushels per
acre. The rice growing lands are rent-
ed to small farmers, who sell the har-
vested crops to town merchants. The
latter in turn send the grain to the
rice mill, exchanging 160 pounds of
the unhulled rice, if of good quaiite,
for 100 pounds of the bulled product. If
of inferior grade a larger toll is taken.
This includes storage for six months.
Some of the very small growers hull
their rice with a flail andjwinnow it
with the wind. The husks are thrown
away, but the remaining waste is fed
to the horses. -Exchange.
You mustn't judge a person by the
clothes that he may wear,
You might have done so years ago, but
now it isn't fair.
A man may be responsible and serious
of mind,
Yet wear a little overcoat that's belted
in behind.
He may be all profound of thought and
yet display with joy
A hat that looks as if intended for his
youngest boy.
That the apparel oft -proclaims the man
has been believed,
But now the statement with a share of
doubt must be received.
You mustn't trust appearances. At
present you will see
A general effort to appear like twenty-
two or three;
And those who put on glasses and look
solemn, as a rule,
Are principally youngsters who are not
yet out of school.
As has been wisely said, this world is
but a fleeting. show;
We are optical illusions as upon parade
we go,
And perhaps it's just as well for us to
do the best we can,
And help improve the scenery upon the
modern plan.

PRACTICAL AIDS FOR THE DEAF.
Almost any pains are worth taking if
by their means the senses of sight and
hearing may be preserved; but some -
1 times, in spite of all that can be done,
deafness goes on to the chronic form.
In that case no treatment has been dis-
covered that will cure it, especially if
it is the kind that is associated with
atrophy c,f the internal parts of the ear.
Jt is of course true that atrophy, or
wasting, of any part of the body means
loss of function. If you had an
atrophied hand or foot. you could see
for yourself that it was useless. But
the internal ear is hidden from us, and
so some of us go on hopingagainst hope
that a miracle will be worked in our
own case and that some doctor some-
where will be able to raise the dead.
Something to Steal.
An English prisoner had for the
tenth time been convicted for theft and
to avoid punishment for his last of-
fense had promised to enlist. The
judge was greatly perplexed as to
what degree of leniency he should deal
out. Addressing the counsel, he re-
marked, "It is difficult to see what use
snch a man as your client would be
in the army." Counsel for the defense,
seeing that the judge was in excellent
humor, deciding a bit of facetiousness
might accomplish what a tearful plea
would not, replied. "Well, my lord, he
might be usefully employed in steal-
ing a march on the enemy."
Known by Their Fruits.
A small boy was discussing the dif-
ferences in members of the vegetable
world.
"How did people flrst know an ap-
ple tree from a pear tree?" he asked.
"By the barky"
"No," replied his mother gravely,
"by the bite."

In that way a great deal of time is
lost and a great deal of suffering caused.
Chronic and incurable deafness is a
cross that must be embraced if we
would not be crushed beneath it. The
first thing to do is to accept the in-
' evitable with all the cheerfulness we
can command; the next thing is to put
away every bit of foolish self-con-
scions-ess and false shame about the
1 affection, and the third thing is to get
las quickly as possible one of the many
excellent contrivances that have been
invented to help deaf' people. In all
our large cities, at the shops of the
best opticians, you can find cases filled
with these contrivances. The rules
about permitting people to take them
out on trial are usually very fair. Ten
days' use of any one of these will show
you whether it will help you or not.
A very useful form of appliance is
the electrical apparatus in connection
with its own battery. It is a bother,
no doubt, to carry it about and manip-
ulate it, but not hearing at all is a
greater bother. That is undoubtedly
the strongest crutch for the deaf; and
its makers assert that it helps to train
the ear back to the recognition of
human speech. For partial deafness
there are smaller and simpler devices,
and for those who have accepted deaf-
ness as a fact beyond any curative
measures, and who still have their own
teeth for bone conduction of sound,
the audiphone (sometimes called the
dentiphone), a black guttapercha fan
held between the front teeth, is often
the greatest help. It also possesses
the advantage of costing only a few
dollars.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the person strength by building up the
constitution and atsisting nature in
doing its work, The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure, Send
for list of testimonials.
