AGAINST AN ELECTION. MIMI
The general feeling arnonithe people
Of Canada is that there should not be an
election this year. Readers of the
TIMES will heartily endorse the follow-
artmle which appeared in the Montreal
Star on Oetaber 15th: -
"The rumors which hav e been set
afloat that a Federal general election
might be precipitated at this time are
silrely to be deprecated. We do not
believe for a moment that the Govern-
ment have any su h intention in mind.
The whole nation is to -day acting under
a party truce, reached deliberately and
with patriotic unanimity, in order that
Canadians might move as a unit against
by far the most menacingdanger which
has ever threatened our country or our
Empire.
A general election could not he called
now without causing a fierce renewal of
party strife - without dividing our
people into two hostile camps -without
leaving the Liberals under a bitter
sense of betrayal, after having been led
iuto the "ambush" of patriotic co
operation. It would be like approaching
a foe with a flag of truce and then
opening fire on them. As we have
said, we have not the slightest notion
that the Government entertain any
such treacherous intention.
Another very mischievous result
might ensue. It would be impossible
for the Government to order an election
at this time without bringing their
policy of assistance to the forces of the
Empire under revieW. While the Op-
position have heartily approved of the
prineiple of their action, and have
loyally abstained from criticizing de-
tails, still it would be difficult to pre-
vent a defeat for the Government -
should it come -from being interpreted
aa a condemnation by the Canadian
people of their action in support of the
Empire. That would be a most un-
fortunate thing to happen just at this
time. It would hearten our enemies and
dismay our friends It is earnestly to be
hoped that we will hear no more of this
nonsense about an appeal to the people
at this most inopportune moment."
A NEEDLESS SCARE.
Most Canadians are agreeably sur-
prised to find that the war has so slight-
ly increased prices, and that most of
the scare which was felt at the out-
break of the war has disappeared,
Slowly but surely "business as usual"
is being accepted as the motto of our
entire people. The Canadian Grocer,
in its review of the market situation is-
sued on the. 17th inst., says:
So completely has the war scare been
dispelled that there does not even ap-
pear to be any reason why it should
have started. Working around in a
circle, the wholesaler blames the re-
tailer; the retailer the public; the public
the newspapers, and so on; people
bought largely because the prices were
advancing and the prices advanced be-
cause of the demand of the people.
The fear that Canada would not be
able to import foreign foodstuffs has
little foundation now that the British
fleet has taken control of the world
avenues of commerce. There is prac-
tically nothing important that is out of
the market at present, so to speak, but
French and Belgian lines, which are
canned goods for the most part, and
there is no reason why Canada cannot
take care of her own needs in these
lines. There will be some goods that
will not be available, but they do not
come under the head of staples. For
the future there are some clouds of un-
certainity, but these are too far ahead
to have muchinfluence on the present
situation.
In grocery lines in general there is a
slightly downward tendency in the
prices, particularly with regard to the
imported goods, delivery of which is
now being taken for granted.
It is not surprising that something
approaching a panic was created in
Canada, Lollowing the outbreak of a
great European war, in which not only
Great Britain, but her colonies as well
was involved, but now that the broad
Altantic, but the still broader Pacific
are a'reely as eafe to merchantmen as
Lake Superior, there has been a rapid
recurs) of confidence. The wheels of
tree will seen revolve at usimi.

WILL OF KAI3ER WILHELM
It is rumoured in Germany that the
Kaiser now realizes that his number is
known and is accordinglymaking his will
revoking all other wills. 'oThe; will is
said to read as follows: -
This is the last will and testament 'of
me Wilhelm the super-swanker and ruler
of the sausage eaters, recognizing that I
am fairly up against it and expecting to
meet with a violent death at any moment
at the hands of brave Jenny Bull, hereby
make my last will and testament.
I appoint the Emperor of Austria to
be my sole executor: by kind permission
of the sallies,
(1) I give and bequeath to France the
territories of Alsace and torraine, as
this is only a case of returning stolen
property. I dont deserve any credit for
it and don't expect to get it either.
(2) To Servia I give Austria,
(3) To Ruesia I give Turkey for the
Czar's Christmas dinner.
(4) To Belgium I should like to give
all the thick ears. black eye and broken
noses she presented me with when I
poltely trespassed on her territory
(5) To Admiral Jellicoe I give all my
dreadnoughts, submarines, torpedo boat
bestroyers and fleet of Funkers gener-
ally, what is left of them. He is bound
to have them in the end so this is only
anticipating events.
(6) To John Bull I give what is left
of my army as his General French seems
so hanciyat turning my men into sausage
meat. I suppose he means to finish his
job with Kitchener the champion German
sausage cooker.
(7) To the British Museum I leave my
famous mustaches as a souvenir of the
greatest switnIter of th's ()rang other age.
(8) To Mrs. Pankhurst and the wild
women I leave my mailed fist, no doubt
they will find it useful when they re-
sume their militants tactics.
(9) To Sir Ernest Shackleton I leave
the pole, I have been up it so long that
I regard it as my own property.
(Signed) H. I. M. WILHELM.
Lord of land, sea and air not forget-
ting the sausages and lager beer,
German emperor.
Signed by the above named Wilhelm as
his last will in the presence of us, his
ministers and keepers, present at the
same time, who in his presence and in
the presence of each other have hereunto
suscribe 1 our names as witnesses.

RACING FOR SLEEP.
Running Around the Bed Is Said to
induce Drowsiness.
There is nothing in the world quite
as exasperating as not being able to
go to sleep when you want to, and
persistent insomnia is one of the great-
est curses of mankind. But many peo-
ple suffer from insemnia from lack of
knowing many of the simple devices
that have been tried in the past to pro-
voke sleep, and Sir James Sawyer in a
recent work points out how valuable
some of these simple means have been.
Few plans are more successful, he
suggests, than that of running around
the bed, particularly if the night is
cold. It will be remembered that
Charles Dickens, who was greatly af-
flicted with sleeplessness, declared that
if he could lean on the bedpost in thin
attire, in which he usually slept, un-
til he got chilled clear through the. re-
turn to a warm bed would produce a
drowsiness that led him along the path
of sleep.
William Harvey, the discoverer of
the circulation of the blood, was a be-
liever in the circulation of the bed
also. He declared that for sleepless-
ness nothing was better than to jump
out of bed suddenly, as though fright-
ened, race around the bed with very
little on until the skin was cold and
the body heated and then jump back
into bed. Not only was the exercise
good, he believed, but also the feeling
that one was being withheld from go-
ing to bed caused a desire for it,
which prepared the mind for sleep
when once more lying down. -Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
WAR IS WHAT?
Some Varied Points of View That
Reach Far, Far Apart.
Tlae Enlisted Man -A chance to break
the deadly routine of the parade
ground with some real excitement. In
Isolated cases to provide opportunities
for nailitary or political advancement.
The Business Man -A period of eco-
nomical depression, often followed by
large failures and the consequent loss
of the public's Investments.
The Volunteer -A. stern patriotic duty
to be entered upon without inquiry as
to its justice or injustice.
The Philosopher -An unintelligent
and gross instrument for the settle-
ment of the world's unavoidable quar-
rels.
The Historian -A logical, if some-,
what regrettable, method of arranging
the world's boundary lines.
The Optimist -The natural strife of
humanity, tending toward the general
betterment of the social cosmos.
The Pessimist -The natural strife of
humanity, tending toward the general
destruction of the universe.
The Mother -A long vigil in an empty
room and a memory of child voices for-
ever stilled.
The Wife -A husband gone, a home
destroyed and a woman's heart broken.
The Seer -The last great barrier be-
tween civilization and the Millennium.
-Lite.
Continental English.
The Idea that English is to be the
universal language of the future seems
to be spreading. Certainly thousands
of Europeans struggle bravely with its
rules and idioms. Here Is a sample
or the progress that alas been made in
one quarter. It is taken from the ad-
vertising matter that a large conti-
nental hotel publishes in the form of
an elaborate illustrated booklet:
"Re' spaelons dimensions, exquisite
einnfort. elegant fashion of its fur-
nisliiug, the nnoblectionable preroga-
tives, at; to the produces of its kitchen
and contents of its cellars. beside the
distIngenehed managing, vvisich, assist-
ed by well experienced attendants,

Ing -all this united already for roany
years most obtained a general renown,
eves, abroad too."

an Time, Thousands of Years, Per-
haps, the Atlantic Ocean, According
to Geologists, Will Flow Over the
Cities That Now Tower Above Ito
Shores,
Government geological experts have
talculated that New York, Roston.
Philadelphia and all the ether cities
along the Atlantic coast will eventual-
ly sink beneath the ocean. They bave
observed that there has been a steady
sinking of the whole coast, and they
illy that it Is going on at -the present
moment.
Geologista have long recognized the
'fact that the Atlantic coast line Was
11:111Ch farther Out than it is now. There
is a line from 100 to 300 miles off the
present coast at which the water sud-
denly gets deeper. Out to that distance
Ilia water is generally about 30Q feet
deep. Then it plunges suddenly and
becomes tett times as far to the ocean's
bottom. The men of the coast survey
have traced this line throughout the
length of our coast line and find it
similar all along. The geologists say
that the continent once reached out
that fai and that there was the coast
line. but a gradual decline through the
ages has caused that line to retreat,
until now it is where we know it.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened in comparatively recent
times. It has all been done since the
glacial period. This bririgs it into the
present period and makes the action
new. In fact it is positively known to
be going on now.
There is an ancient sill in the Charles-
town navy yard at Boston with re-
gard to which there is definite informa-
tion as to its elevation. It was put
in place seventy years ago; its eleva-
tion was given with relation to mean,
high and low tide, and also with refer-
ence to surrounding landmarks. With
relation to the tide this sill has sunk
seven -tenths of a foot. With relation
to the landmarks it has the same posi-
tion, a positive proof that Boston har-
bor and the city about it have sunk
seven -tenths of a foot into the sea in
the last seventy years.
The original mouth of the Hudson
river IA now 200 miles out to sea. The
Ohips follow its old channel in leaving
port even now. It is not known how
long ago it was when the mouth of the
river was not far out in the ocean. But
It is almost a certainty that when a
similar time has elapsed the present
city will be an equal distance from the
then land.
Similarly will Boston be submerged.
Baltimore will disappear at about the
same time and great portions of Wash-
ington. The great Mississippi is bring-
ing down great deposits to raise its
delta and counterbalance the decline.
So low is New Orleans that it will be
one of the first cities to sink below the
lea level and be a municipality high
Walled against the enemy, the sea. Gal -
Mitten has already felt the encroach -
tient of the waters and has been forced
Lo build itself a sea wall.
The geological survey makes topo-
graphical maps. On these lines are run
at given elevations. For instance, a
'line may be run about Manhattan Is-
land at a level twenty feet above the
water at the Battery. It ;would sub-
Inerge the customs house and extend up
Broadway nearly to Wall street. From
the east it would invade the financial
district almost to Nassau street..' It
would overflow half the land between
the city hall and the East river. Far-
ther up it would submerge a narrower
Strip, but its Intrusion would create
great havoc.
A fifty foot rise of water would wipe
Manhattan Island out entirely. Of
course, If these depressions came on
Very gradually the water fronts would
be diked against their intrusions. In
this way New York city might be eayed
trom destruction for a very long time.

rounded by a hlgh levee, against which
the wean will beat with an ever in-
ereasing advantage. It might perpetu-
ate itself by artificial roeans, but in the
end It will be put in an impossible posi-
tion. The waters will follow over the
data of New Jersey and of Long Island.
They will even beat back through
the Delaware and the Chesapeake and
get beyond the city end cut off coin-
Inunication with the main part of the
land. Finally, New York will find It..

If one would produce eggs in winter
he must, says Farm, Stock and Home,
prepare his flock for this purpose. That
does not mean that he must buy a lot
of stimulating foods for his flock. This
may get the eggs for a time, but it is
detrimental to the health of the &ibis.
The best way to get winter eggs is to
hatch the pullets early in the spring and
put them into winter quarters early,
feeding them an egg laying diet. Old
hens should go to the market to give
plenty of room for the young layers.
