A despatch from Londonetsays:-
C.uriously enough, nobody in London

away off over yonder, like the desert;
mirage. However, the daily mill of
the London Police Courts grind out,

A baker was fined $500 for expos-
ing for sale thirty-four loaves off
bread each two ounces less than the
regulation weight. A butcher was
fined $100 for selling, imported mutton
at the home -killed price, and malting
an overeharge of eight cents on four
lamb chops. A saloon keeper was
fined $15 and $10 costs because his
barmaid charged thirty cents instead
of twenty-five eents for two large
glasses of stout.
The recent slight fall in prices is
largely due to a clever journalist writ-
ing an article in his paper, which
other papers copied, saying prices
were down. The public went forth
after reading, and all over the city
demanded 'reductions which the mer-
chants had to grant.

BRITISH WITHDRAW
FROM ARCHANGEL
Bolsheviks Having Lost Corn
Country May be Forced
to Make Terms.
A despatch from London says: -
Unless the unforeseen should inter-
fere with Lord Rawlinson's plans,
evacuation of the British forces from
Archangel should be csmpleted by the
end of the month, Major-General Sir
Frederick Maurice says in the Daily
News. It will then remain to look
after the withdrawal from Murmansk,
which is much the simpler problem of
the two.
He adds that the "immediate aban-
dement of the Russian adventure is
simply note possible unless the Allied
powers agree to conte to terms with
the Bolsheviks." • It seems possible
since they have lost the corn country
of Ukraine, that the Bolsheviks may
be reduced to extremities by cold and
hunger, Gen. Maurice says that, short
of some such development on which
there are no solid reasons for count-
ing, there is no probability of obtain-
ing a settlement in Russia by present
methods within the next six months.
"That is where we stand to -day, he
says finally.
BRITISH AVIATOR • •

A despatch from Geneva says: -
Captain Bradley, a British aviator,

way in the clouds above Mount Blanc
at an altitude of more than 15,000
feet. He made his trip in a 110 horse-
power airplane, and came from Lon-
don by way of Paris.
Where One Word Came From.
A fascinating study is that which
searches for the origin of words. Much
'of the history of the world is locked
up in the words we use every clay, ut•
terly unconscious of their derivation.
When the Arabs came into Europe
and learned from tthe nations they en-
countered the wisdom of all the ages
then past, they became deeply interest-
ed in the attempts that the old Greeks
had made to tura other metals into
gold. •
That it had been declared to be a
secret and mysterious process made it
all the more fascinating to them. fend
so they became alchemists, and called
themselves Hermetic philosophers, 're -
cause tradition declared Hermes This-
megistus about two thousand years
before Christ had discovered hove to
convert the baser metals into gold.
To melt the mouth of a glass tube
so as to close it was called securing it
with "Hermes, his seal." We know
little or nothing of Hermes, oi+ when
he lived, or whether he ever lived at
all; but it is curious that even to this
day when a bottle or jar is closed so
that it is air -tight we call it heemitical-
ly sealed, after this same Hennes.

Autumn Wonder.
"A haze on the far horizon,
An infinite, tender sky;
The rich, ripe tint of the _cornfields,
Ancl the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod;
Some of us call it autumn,
And others call it God."

ing the groundworlcler a great trade
•ofeeneive not only to meet Atneriean

the status which British trade head
before -the war, Although America
has. secured many contracts aggregat-
ing millions of dollars because of dis-
turbed conditions in the r•Bigi li in -

that the shrewd heads of business
Greet Britain are .Figuring on ;a time
of stability in the near • fuuture; When
the network of trade eornmunicatiions
will serve well the purpose•for which
it is being laid. •
One example of this business fore-
sight is seen in the arrangement
which, it is reeerted, has been made
with the German 'Government. By this
agreement Germany. is expected to
take 50 .per •cent. of British manufac-
tures along with quantities of raw
materials. :
What big business is doing to per-
fect trade communication is further
shown in the scheme of -the Federation

consuls at the world's chief trade
centres who will keep Britain infolen-
ed on market conditions.

CANADA'S FRUITS
Canned Products Eagerly Pur-
chased - Diversity and Ex=

A despatch from London says: -
Canadian canned fruit representatives
operating here report that distrii'butors•
are. ready to take all they 'can Offer.
The British public is found to be
willing to purchase a Dominion pro-
duct to which the diversity and excel-
lence are a revelation to most people,
because they have' never seen it be-
fore,
fore, save in its alluning but unattain-
able form in windoties of the Govern-
ment offices.'
A large distributor states that, as
50 per cent. of these goods aro sold to
restaurants, careful grading of fruits
is essential, and the question has been
raised whether a system .of Govern-
ment :inspection would not prove ad-
vantageous as a guarantee of quality
and a safeguard to the reputation of
Dominion canned goods, which inci-
dentally are a valuable form 4f inter -
Imperial education, besides being an
excellent .advertisement for the ex-
porting Province.

A Mechanical "tool"
• "Why the 'monkey' in monkey
wrench?" some one of an inquisitive
turn of mind -once asked the editor of
the Popular Magazine, who admits
that he did. not know, but that he
avoided confedsiug his ignorance by
retorting with another question: "Why
the 'donkey' in donkey engine?"
Upon some reflection, he says, we
came to the conclusion that the head
of the wrench could, by a stretch of
imagination, be thought to resemble a
monkey's profile, while, on the other
hand, the engine probably was sup-
posed to resemble a donkey in its
stubbornness and strength.
Led on in this fascinating study of
resemblance between tools and ani-
mals, we• could see how the origlnal
mechanical crane looked like the long-
necked and long-legged bird. Also, we
could see why a carpenter's horse got
its name, why a cow-catcher'was so-
called, why the term "pig" was applied
to a mass of metal, especially when Fa
"sow" -a term used by ironforkers
for a larger mass of metal -is broken
up into little "pigs," The salamander
required no genius for analogy.
the eatetpilIar tread was' ohvioas
enough, The tailor's goose was not
so obvious, although we nsed our
fancy sufficiently to picture some long -
forgotten tailor poet naming it in a
burst of inspiration. Without . any
gift of insight, we 'could see why a
"worm," used so much in mechanics,,
was•,,,appiied.
But there were others that Muzzled
us, and we pass them on for' cleverer
fellows to think over. Where did a
bull wheel get its name? A bucksaw?
A catboat? A railroad frog? - A hogs-
head? A crowbar? The spinning nia-
chine called a mule? The central sup•
porting_ part of electrical machines
called a spider? The winch called a
crab'? The butterfly valve?'
eEnforcing the Rules.
The new doorkeeper at alto local
museum had evidently learned the
rules by heart before taking over the
job.
"Here, ser, you must leave your ane
brel1a at the door," he said to a visitor
who was going straight through th.e
turnstile.
°But 1 haven't an umbrella."
"Then you must go back and get
one," was the stern reply, "No man
is allowed to pass in here unless he
leaves his umbrella at the door."
"There are two freedoans-• .bite false,
Where at nian 3s free to do as he likes;
and the tame, *here a man is :free to
do what Ile ought.".,.._iiingsley.
