A braver soldier, a more daring ex- plorer, aplorer, or more courtly gentleman oyer lived than Walter ` Raleigh, knight and author. You all know the story of his intro-' duction to the Queen Elizabeth. She was walking with her courtiers from the royal barge, when she came to a place so damp and muddy that she hesitated as to where to step.; Raleigh immediately threw down his fine embroidered cloak for her majes- ty's dainty feet to step upon, and from that time, as long as she Weed, the queen 'gavehim her her].) and her es- teem. • But he was something besides a gal- lant courtier. He proved himself a brave soldier on land and sea, in wars in the Netherlands and against the Spanish Armada. In hie youth he crossed the Atlantic with his brother, the famous Sir Humphrey Gilbert, and afterward he sent ships out which visited our Virginian and North Caro- linian shares from which h c two new strange plants were ,carried back for English use. These were tobacco and potatoes. Having heated wonderful stories of the gold in lands still further south, he sailed away to the far west, finding little gold, but a strange, rich country, of which he wrote a most glowing des- cription on his return. The queen,who had been so firm a friend to him, died, and in a change of rulers unjust suspicions were aroused. Sir Walter was charged with trying to place another person on the throne, tried and sentenced to death, but led, instead, to the prison where he spent twelve long years. It was then he showed his brave heart as well as on the battle -field, and he renewed his old studies, planning and beginning thegreat work, which he never was to carry out: "The His- tory of the World.:' But his adventures were not yet over. Nowhere, in all the outside world, could they find the, man they ;wanted, so they came to the busy scholar in his prison -cell and offered him his liberty if he would only command an expedi- tion to search for gold mines in the far New World. He went, of course, with the old vigor and daring, but gold -mines, are not easily found, andthey sailed ba c ck without having ,net with much success. And then what did 'the strong man do? Did he travel again :over far seas, or give his wisdom .to affairs of gov- ernment, or even in his prison, finish with ready pen the great volumes he had planned? He `died on the scaffold, under the old charge of treason so long ;proved false. He met death with the courage of that brave heart which had never failed, him; leaving behind not only. what he wrote, but the story of, his. whole brilliant life, so full of adven- ture and bravery.

()UT ,OF TUN There carnes a time to all of us when the ,skies are dark,' !Friends - are scarper Money' gone; things are twist-. ed—everYthing is out of joint: e.. We:all know those times.: They make us feel we are en a bleak road that has no turning. The question we have to face is What [shall. we do then? We can eith- er let such periods crush us, or we can eurmouut them, defy" there. It depends; upon ourselves whether we become masters or slaves. It we submit,lite, will be burdensome, If we conquer, we are at once the makers of our own joys, Several things may contribute to our getting out of tune, Our nature may. be affected and the body may net func- tioii. aright. ; Other people may trouble us and ~bring us :endless worry, until we; reel with the perpetual anxiety; or the . state of business may rush us into a oorner from which there seems to be._rio escape. We are tempted to hold up our hands or let them hang down limply, hoping for sympathy. Whatever the cause, it is our busi- ness to be in;cont!-ol of things.. Other- wise we becomeas puppets, We need to say to ourselves: "Well, the weari- ness is unspeakable" and :I am in the gloom. But, thank God, I have ; life and knowledge, and it Might have been much worse; so. here goea, I will win through!" Evil things- can never live in the presence of the right. Doleful hours vanish amid song and service. Don't think a lot about yourself and don't become wrapped up in, yourself. Such people make "small parcele. The thing to think about is that he profits most who serves best. Never pity yourself. Pity is a grand thing for "everyone but oneseu:" It as' fatal there. It takes the steam from the engine. We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, • We have bard :work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle—face it—'tis God's gift— Be strong. Sometimes "Safety First" is detri- mental, It always is In cases of des pendency and discouragement. In- stead of looking within, look arorind and up. Thinkwhat there is for you- home, 'loved ones, books, music, the beautiful world.. James §metham, the essayist and painter, used to say that when he was crumbling up with the•affairs of life he would go on to the moors,' or take`a walk in the meadows and view his possessions and estate. He claimed the world for his own asein b one who g had come into contact with the things g ;that. help. It is a line tonic. When out of sorts• get our of doors and enjoy the tonic of the big movements and spaces. Breathe the fresh air, and gaze upon the skies." You must believe that you always can if you will. Never admit that you can't. That fails every time and can never bo the conqueror. Some 'flowers grow bes.t4iit the shade where the sun- shine rarely comes,andas a rule they are the very choice ones of the, garden because they spell bravery. We are flowers in • the garden of the world, blooming always for the good of others. So don't bemoan your lot. If your luck is not as you would have it, put a "p" in front and go on. There is a lot of wonder in life, but the greatest wonder :of all is that man can over- come all trouble by faith in his own 'powers. C.G.S. "Arctic' r_al- on Northern Patrol.

' A young lady, singing at a concert one night, was accompanied 'at the piano by an Old German musician. Af- ter het song, the old mart approached her and said, heatedly;—"You did sing pretty badly—no warmth, no ' style• poor singing." The ailronted vocalist replied sharply—'iI sing as Nature taught me, sir." And the German musician rejoined—PI „dal not hear very well your teacher's name.' But Whoever ho was lie taught you badly!"

A Cross Words Puzzle. Sunstroke and Heatstroke. So many.cases of prostration in animals come to our notice' during the summer months that a word on this subject may not be out of place. There ewe two types of stroke, sun- stroke, and heatstroke. Sunstroke la horses is caused - by the sun's rays striking the back of the head while the animal perils . a heavy Ioad in the hot sun. It is also caused by leaving the horse standing in the hot sun, after heavy work. It comes on, suddenlyy,. the animal collapsing and usually be - corning unconscious. Prevention: Keep a wet sponge on horse's head or bathe frequently with cold water. Give frequent rests in the shad, when possible. Remember the weather is hot and the horse feels it as much as you do. You lighten your work in the sun as much as possible in the hot weather. Do the same for your horse. Do not hurry or worry him, and help him fight the handicap of hot weather by being easy with him. Treatment:—If the horse collapses, send for a veterinary. In the mean- time first aid treatment consists of wholesale use of. cold water from head to foot. Do not apply a quantity local- ly, but make it wholesale. Keep it up till horse recovers. , Heatstroke may come on without animal having been touched by the. sun. It is caused by standing in `stables, when the atmosphere is close, humid and damp. Prevention:—Keep the horse in the yard if stable is very small and close, only in a shady place. Give plenty of water to drink, and use cold water on,. head. Be sure it has a comfortable, place to fie down. A night spent in the atmosphere of a small ih-ventilated stable, reeking of ammonia from lack of cleaning, utterly unfitsthe animal for work. It is better in the open. Treatment:—Same as Sunstroke. Dogs and cats and small animals can be•dipped in a tttb of water, This i5 the best "restorative. The best remedial agent for hot weather is cold water, internal and external. Keels a tub where dogs may dip several times daily. . It will pre- vent trouble.

Anybody who believes that char- acter or future events can be "read" from the hand need not, consult a pro- fessional palmist. Here are a few points on the subject. If the first finger of the hand curves inwards towards the second finger, it is a sign of a money -loving nature. If the second joint of the thumb is thin, it denotes great tact; and if the. first joint is long, it shows strength of will. When the lingers' are long and taper- ing, it may be taken that the person is of an artistic temperament;, when they are square and stumpy, a practical na- tore is indicated. When the lino of 1ife. (at the base of the thumb) is long and thin, a long, healthy life may be Expected. If the line le broken.up, look for trouble and illness.

England's Glass Island. Tho place for seeing tomato farms to the best advantage is the Channel Is- lands, especially Guernsey and Jea'sey,. The writer had the privilege of going Mind two or three of the biggest of the growers' gardens there recently, and was amazed by what he saw. You can easily understand this when you learn that on such a farm at Gorey there were no less than 70,000 tomato plants waiting to be transferred from the greenhouses, where they 'are first sown and grown, to the beds prepared for them in the open air. Just try to think, of the . immense amount of work such a task as setting out all these to- mato plants must mean. It is "a bit of a staggerer," too, to be told that the official returns of the rail- ways show that 3,250,000 baskets of ripe tomatoes were exported .to the British Isles from Guernsey alone last year. A Iarge pprtion ;of these supplies: does ztot go to Covent Garden, London,. but is sent direct to Manehester,•Bris tel, Leeds, Glasgow, and Preston, which .are all distributing centres for their respective districts. 'T'he tomato -season in the Channel Islands goes through theeen teeeralee phases. All theeearliest crop is grown in a hot -house, and is "forced" just like rhubarb. It is planted just atter Christmas,, and the fruit can be picked from the end .of. March to the end of June. The second season, that of the cold-b,ouse, extends from June to De- cember, whilst the third or out-of- doors tomato crop, is gathered from the end of August to December. Tomato growing and export are per- haps the chief industries of the Chan- nel Islands. The bulk of the people depend upon them in some way or other for their living. Much of the growing, too, is done by remail farmers, or by working -men in their leisure hours. Guernsey has sometimes been called "England's Glass Island," owing tothe immense quantity of glass used there. in the cultivation of the tomato. Look where you will from any .high ground in Guernsey, a veritable., sea of glass" meets your eye, glistening like the smooth water of a lake e lit up by the. glaring :earn. It has beery' estimated that there are at least nine hundred of miles glass in the island. l The quays are always brimming over with baskets, crates, and boxes bear- ing the names of dealers in fruit noted in various parts of the United King- dom. It is on record that as many as 70,000 boxes of fruit of various kinds. have been sent off by steamer in'a single day from St. Peter Port. o India Gave Calico Printing.
