formal approval is given by the King-

the Earl Marshall, who is head of the

The new coat -of -arms bears the de-
vice, "A marl usque ad mare" (front

SYRIAN MONARCH •
LOSES CROWN
General Gouraud, Victor at
Damascus, Issues Procla-
mation.
A despatch from Paris says: -Emir
Feisul is no longer Bing of Syria. The
French Foregn Office announced on
Thursday that he was not.
General Gouraud, who has captured
Damascus, Feisul's Capital, has issued
a proclamationstating that the Emir
from now on is a private citizen. and,
furthermore, that Emir has been in-
vited to leave the country with all his
family. Syria has no new King yet,
but it has a brand new Ministry,
hand-picked by Gouraud, which has ac-
cepted all the French conditions, in-
cluding a fine of 10,000,000 francs
upon Damascus and the vicinity.
The French -now appear in a posi-
tion to administer the%r nianda eover
Syria, which they hold under the
League of Nations, just as the English
have the League mandate in Mesopo-
tamia, .although the minutes of the
League Council's meeting will pro-
bably be found utterly barren of any
record of either affair.
Feisul has rot been heard from.
since Gouraud's troops entered Dam-
ascus. He owes the French 80,000,000
francs they paid him "to feed the
hungry Syrians:' However, a con-
siderable portion. cf this money has
been received in munitions seized at
Damascus, where Feisul stored much
of his "food for hungry Sy-rians."
The. Gift of Sleep.
Sleep,. at the right time, is one of
man's foreanost friends and benefac-
tors; at the wrong time it is a curse,
for it comes as, the paralyzing .incubus
upon his hand and his mind when he
should be broad awake and at his
work.
It is a solemn thing to think about,
that if we average eight hours of
every twenty-four in slumber we are
in the Land of „Nod for a third of . our.
whole term `on earth. At this rate the
man who lives to:the age of sixty has
spent twenty -years in bed.
It has made . some 'active spirits
irate •against nature and the establish-
ed orderr that they should have to
spend so much time unconscious and
unproductive; the idleness has. irked
them, and, burning the candle at ,both
ends in their defiance of physiological
laws, they have generally paid for it.
The ruleis that we rest, not that we
may form habits of sloth and self-
indulgence, but that we may find re-
creation and recuperation for the day
that follows the night -the day that
tests our mettle' and urges to endea-
vor. Sleep is supposed to send us
back nto the fray clear-eyed, serene,
corroborated. "I climb when I lie
down," said that poet of the mystics,
Henry Vaughan; and by it he meant
that his finite mortality had risen
star by star till it. laid hold upon in-
finity. The:apparent humility was an
aspi'ra ion, He stood at Heaven's
gate net by ti :e pride of life, not by
self-assertion, not by being eccentric,
but in.the mortification of vanity and
with all "chastening and subduing of
the soul."
Mark Twain and Robert Louis
Stevenson were two of no small mime
her of writers who wrote. in bed be-
cause of the comfortable relaxation
and the seclusion. The wits of neither
were benumbed, and you could not
call either of these prolific and suc-
cessful authors lazy. But it does net
follow that their :mimic in respect to
a recumbent posture for authorship
will succeed in copying _ their happy
graces in the way of.,a literary style
The strong pian peeks a workroom,

eer afield -men who have fought a

Eastern Canada H.s -Heavy
Spruce Seed Chop.
The Commission - of Conservation
has received reports front a number
of points in Ontario, Quebec and New
Brunswick indicating that this . is an
exceptionally 'heavy seed year for
white spruce in eastern Canada. There
promises to be a good yield of white
pine seed -as well. Last year there was
practically no spruce seed in eastern
Canada. Heavy seed years for spruce
and pi120 usually occur only every
fourth year, therefore those who wish
to collect the seed should take ad-
vantage of the abundant crop this
year.
White spruce seed ripens in. Sep-
tember and the cones should be col-
lected just before they open. TP picked
too early, the seeds will be immature,
and •if left till the cones open, the
seeds will have dropped out.
