HOUSEHOLD SCALES.
The coming into force in Canada of
parcel post opens up a new field of use-
fulness for spring balances or what are
more commonly known as household
scales, That their sale at this janc-
tare in Canada ehould be prohibited will
make things very inconvenient for the
householder who desires to take advan-
tage of the new parcel post regulations,
with small household scales it is an eaey
matter to find out how mach a package
to be sent by parcel post will weigh
and consequently what the cost of send-
ing it will be. To take advantage of
the parcel post it will be necessary for
the majority of people to take parcels
to the post office to be weighed. If
however the householder had a scale he
could weigh the package, attach the
amount of the cost in stamps and have
it sent to the post office. The reason
given for shutting out the sluing
bal-
ance is that this type of scales is not
accurate. Many who have used this
scale do not agree with this statement
and intimate that the Customs Depart-
ment has some other reason for pro-
hibiting. its scales in Canada. One
reason that we have heard is thee the
regulation was put in force to help the
Canadian Scale maker. There are how-
ever no scales made in Canada to take
place of the spring balanee. This being
truewhy should the householder who
- can use this scale in cooking, canning
re and in checking purchases of household
supplies be deprived to the right to buy
these cheap scales if he so desire?

REPORT OF THE SEED COMMIS- •
SIONER.
The report of the Seed Commissioner
of the Department of .A.grieulture for
Canada for the period from March,
1911, to August 31, 1913, has been print-
ed. It concludes at this date because
REMARKABLECURE
OF RHEUMATISM
the annual routine of seed testing and Supt. Of Sunday School In Toronto
seed inspection commences on the firet Cured By "Fruit-a-tives "
of September.
The report le divided under the three
main heads of Seed Growing, Seed
Testing and Seed Inspection and these
are again subdivided in such a manner
as to render the report of great interest
and value to seed growers and others
interested in god and eure seed.
Referring to Alfalfa -4 crop of great
and growing importance in Canada -
the report says: -
"Of the 353 samples of seed test-
ed at Ottawa last season, probably
not more than half a dozen were of
Canadian origin, while more than
one-third of the total number con-
tained weed seeds which occur only
in Alfalfa produced in Europe. The
remainder originated in the western
and middle western states, most of
them probably in Montana and Utah.
Very little Alfalfa seed is produced
in Wisconsin and Minnesota and
practically none of it is to be had in
Canada."
Referring to the influence of frost on
immature oats it is stated that two
degrees when in the milk stage will, in
most cases, ruin oats for seea even
though the heads may fill and give of
a heavy bushel weight.
This report, which constitutes a con-
cise summary of the work of the Seed
Branch for the period indicated, is avail-
able to all who apply for it to the Pub-
lications Branch of the Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa.
Record of Performance for Pure Bred
Cattle.
According to Report No. 5 of the
Canadian Record of performancu fer
pure bred dairy cattle conducted by the
Live Stock Branch of the Department
of Agriculture of Canada, '746 cows and
25 bulls had up to the end of March,
1912, qualified fot registration of Per-
formance. The cows were divided
among the several breeds as follows: -
Ayrshire 325, Holstein-Freisian 357,
Guernsey 13, French Canadian 21, and
Jersey 30. The bulls which qualified on
having four daughters in the Record of
Performance, each from a different darn,
consisted of 15 Ayrshire and 10 Hol-
steins. A fact worthy of special at-
tention is that several of the highest
producers were milked three times daily
for varying lengths of time. Noted
among these is Belle of Wellington, a

"For a long time, I have thought of
writing you regarding what I term a
most remark -able cure effected by your
remedy " rruit-a-tives ". I have lived
in this city for more than 12 years and
am well known. I suffered from Rheu-
matism especially in my hands. I have
spent a lot of money without any good
results. I have taken " Fruit-a-tives "
for 18 months now and am pleased to tell
you that I ani cured. All the enlargement
has not left my hands and perhaps never

D. Chest's Nerve Food, the greatest of restoratives,
Feared Paralysis
Mr. F. A. Krutz, Schwartz, Que., writes -"For about
one Year before using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food I was
a complete nervous wreck, Could not rest or sleep,
was irritable and easily excited and had indigestion
and dreadful headaches. My nerves were continually
on edge, and I feared prostration or paralysis.
After the first three boxes of Dr. Chase's Nerve
Food I felt greatly improved and six boxes made me
entirely well and strong. There is no treatment
equal to Dr. Chase's Nerve Food as a means of
building up the nervous system."
Nerves so Kaausted
could not Sleep
Mr. Dennis Mackin, Maxton, Sask., writes --"1
have just finished using the sixth box of Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food, and I must say that when I commenced
using it my nerves were so bad that I could scarcely
get any sleep. I would lie in bed nearly all night
without sleep, and one who has this trouble knows
the misery of sleepless nights. The Nerve Food
helped rne from the start, and has built up my nerv-
ous system Wonderfully. I now enjoy good, sound
sleep, and instead of feeling tired in the mornings I
am strong and healthy and welt. fitted for my daily
work."
After using Dr. Chase's Nerve Food for a few days you
will find yourself less irritable and excitable, sleep will return
to restore your nervous system as nothing else can, and you
will be started on the way to compete recovery.

LAUCHTER.
[Bret Hertel.]
Laugh merrily while lire is here,
For death cuts short all laughter:
Laugh all thy life, and let the tear
Como if it will hereafter,
More laughter in the world would bring
The "touch of nature" nearer;
Good -will would flourish 'neath its wing
And man to man be dearer.
No time like now -the future lies
A darkened road before us;
So let thy laughs outweigh thy sighs, 0
And merry be thy chorus.
We know that man is prone to. tears,
And born as heir to sorrow;
But what's the use of doubts and fears
Of what may be the morrow!
The evil of the day we read
Sufficient is for keeping;
So laugh away, let nought impede,
And give a truce to weeping.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
And lovers rush in where husbands
fear to tread.
.A. word to the wife is sufficient -to
start a rough house.
There is usually a way to get around
any kind of rule.
It's inuch easier to borrow trouble
than to get rid of it.
In this land of plenty there are plenty
of people who haven't.
The girl who ean't sing and won't
sing is entitled to her choice of hus-
bands.
If a woman marries the wrong man
it is because the right one failed to ask
her.
It is easier eor the average man to
stand adversity than prosperity, and
and much more common.
Adam's downfall was due to an apple,
but many another downfall can be
traced to a peach.
Here's two privileges the average
man insists upon: first, the right to do
as he pleases, and, second, the right to
abuse a neighbor who doesn't do as he
wants him to.
whooping von go .
Mrs. Charles Lovell, Agassiz, B. C.,
writes: Seven of our nine children had
whooping cough the same winter and
we attribute their cure to Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine. We
always nave it in the house, and recom-
mend it as the king of all medicines. I
was formerly cured of protruding piles
by using Dr. Chase's Ointment."
Why not Keep the Better Kind?
Just as long as a dairyman knows
only the production of all his cows, just
so long will he be without the necessary
incentive to take steps for herd im-
provement. But when he knows his
cows individually as to production and
cost of feed, then he can retain the
abupdant and economical producers.
The general results as applied to a
district are full of suggestion. In one
lot of 422 cows belonging to 42 men the
average yield last year was found to be
4,494 pounds of milk, the cost of feed
$32.90; thus, simply taking the cost of
feed into consideration, leaving a net
profit of $14.28, But a slight investiga-
tion showed that the 100 best cows pro-
duced milk to the value of $7,137,00,
the 100 poorest cow e produced only
$3,200.00, or much less than half as
much.
The best cows were fed at an aver-
age cost of $38.42, leaving a clear pro-
fit of $32,96 each; the poorest cows cost
$20.26 to feed, returning a clear
profit above the cost of feed of only
$1,74 each.
It thus is evident that each one of
the 100 best cows made as much clear
profit on the milk produced as that
given by eighteen of the poorest.
Why not keep the better kind? It
pays to find out which kind are in in
in your herd. Milk and feed records
may be obtained free on application to
the Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa.

Smocking In Vogue.
That pretty old-fashioned smocking is
again coming into favor. Like all thie es
beautiful, it is bound to repeat it f
again and again as the wheel of fas:.un
rolls around. In fashions, as in oner
things, the survival of the fittest is the
law, and smocking has proved its right
to revival. Perhaps the beautiful soft
materials now in use have again
brought smocking into popularity.
Slender people are rejoicing at the
opportunity for graceful fullness on
the front of a waist that is now theirs.
Then, too, there is an odd quaintness
about long sleeves that are smocked sev-
ral rows above the miffs.
Little peasant froeks for children dis-
play decorative smodking. When the
smocking is dono on peasant frocks of
white dimity in colored thread the effect
is particularly attractive.
Smoelting on evening wraps of light-
weight materials will give that grace-
ful fulness so necessary to Wraps in
this season of draping. These are only
a few of the things for Which smocking
will be used for some time to come, it
is hoped.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT
CANAL.
(William R. ecott, in Leslie's)
Time required to go through the can-
al, from 10 to 12 hours.
Freight will be charged $120 a ton,
passengers are free.
American eoast-wise ships may pass
through free of all charges.
The canal will save 8,000
tween New York and San
miles be -
Francisco.
New York is brought 6,000 miles near-
er Valpariso, and the west coast of
South America.
Atlantic ieaports are 4,000 miles near-
er Australia.
The distance to the Philippine Islaeds
is not reduced materially.
Bulk products like wheat, lumber
minerals, wool, hides and wines will get
lower freight rates through the canal
from Pacific ports.
Eastern machinery, textiles, manu-
factures and finished products will en-
joy cheaper rates to Pacific ports.
Staple products of the South. cotton,
iron, coal, lumber and ship supplies
will have similar advantages to the
Orient and Pacific ports.
Immigration will be deflected in large
numbers from New York to „pacific
ports.
The cost of operating the canal wil,
exceed $4,0e0,000 annually.
About 2,500 employees will be requir-
ed.
To pay interest or. the investment and
operating expenses approximately $150,-
000,000 revenue per annum will be need-
ed.
Traffic experts estimate that fur the
first few years the average annual ton-
nage will be 10,000.000 tons not enough
at the C.20 rate to make the canal self-
supporting.
The rate charged vessels are the same
as those at Suez.
The Government will monopolize the
business of supplying coal and provisions
and operating repair facilities.
Great drydocks, wharves, ware-
houses, repair shops and other facilities
to cost $20,000,000 are under construc-
tion.
All permanent buildings will be of
the Italian Renaissance style of archi-
tecture. The route of the canal will be
beautiful with trees, etc.
Storage for 450,000 tons of coal maxi-
mum. capacity, is provided. Normal
storage capacity 37,000 tons. Oil 160,-
000 barrels.
Monster 270 -ton floating cranes will
handle wrecks or accidents in the canal
or locks.
Warships of all nations may pass
through the canal, but cannot linger
more than 24 hours at either end in
time of war.
HE GAVE UP HIS FORTUNE
A man of sixty-five began life over
again by entering an office in New
York as a clerk the other day. He has
nothing but his salary, having given
away his fortune of $:3,000.000. He is
R. B. Freeman, of Binghamton, N. Y.
Thirty girls lost their lives in the burn-
ing of his factory, and the tragedy made
so deep an impression on him that be
turned over his whole fortune to the
families of the girls and with empty
hands started to earn his own living.
Such is the story as it is going about
in the press, accompanied by praise of
Mr. Freeman for the course he adopt-
ed.
This man, relinquishing his whole for-
tune in this manner. and Henry Ford
introducing a minimum -five dollar a
day wage rate' and 'William Volkes, of
Kansas city -a rich man who was poor
at one time -organizing a bureau to
lend money to the needy at the Cost of
administering the fund, all such as
these remind us that among those who
gain wealth are many who retain their.
generotis impulses and are capable of
doing most unexpected things. By

into taking a more careful look into
the'r uwn responsibilities,
It is not certain, however, that Mr.
Freeman took the best course possible)
of atoning for disaster which caused
the death of thirty girls in his faetory.
If the figures are not exaggerated he
gave the family of each girl whose life
was lost a fortune of $100,000, lie im-
posed on himself a gigantic money fine
and went away poor. Was it his fault
that these girls last their lives? If so,
and if grief and a sense of guilt poss-
essed him, he would do right to make
suchreparation as is possible and spend
the balance of his days zealously striv-
ing to render safer such factories as
his own. He has made himself poor,
and he has suddenly made many poor
people rich, but how will these results
atone for what was done or prevent
similar tragedies?
He would be the man to lead a cru-
sade against bad factory conditions He
has had the bitter experience, and evi-
dently he has the heart to feel and the
will to promote reform. Perhaps his
action in abandoning his millions
aeemed to him the most convinc-
ing preachment he could make against
the system of money -making which
is indifferent to the conditions of those
who do the work, Those who hear the
case will, perhaps, be forced to ask
themselves what about their own work-
