Canada. That old myth that she was
the "lady of the snows" and the frozen
patriotic Canadian songs may have to
go. And though one song says that
the maple leaf, our Canadian emblem,
will wave forever, it looks as if a straw
of wheat or something else will take its
place in future patriotic songs.
Maple sugar and maple syrup have
bad their day! The old sugar camps,
which were once so common in many
counties of Southwestern . Ontario, are
now a novelty. Even in Quebec, which
is the centre of the manufacture of
maple products, having an output great-
er than all the rest of the world put to-
gether, the industry is already on the
decline.
According to census statistics, the
climax of prosperity in the maple sugar
making industry was reached in the de-
cade 1881-01, when 225,000,000 pounds
were manufactured; 175,000,000 in Que-
bec, and 48,000,1)00 in Ontario. In the
next decade the output was less and in
the decade to 1911 the figures showed
196,(00,000 pounds for the Dominion;
143,000,000 for Quebec add 50,000,000
for Ontario.
The "substitute" which has hit every-
thing else, has struck the maple sugar
and syrup industry a mortal blow. And
since the making of compound sugar is
a new industry the decline in the mak-
ingof the "real thing" has been constant
since 1911.
Indeed, so great has it been that pure
maple products are rarely obtainable
and the maple syrup cans, with their
delightful scenes representling maple
e s
sugar camps, buck, etc., , are now
the only reminders of the good old days.
And Quebec is being hardest hit by
the sale of substitute products! Maple
sugar men there know it, and formerly
profitable maple groves are being swept
away. Only last week at Drummond-
ville, Quebec, 30 cars of rock maple logs
stood on a siding ready for shipment,
and the same thing may be found, to a
greater or less extent, in many other
places in that province where the axe
is being used on the hard rock maple,
from which the best saps are obtained.
If the maple industry is not to die, and
with it many of our patriotic songs pro-
tective legislation against substitutes
must be passed and maple sugar scenes
kept off tin cans.
PARCEL POST SYSTEM IN CANADA.
The parcel post system has been en-
dorsed by the Cabinet Council and the
Postmaster General has been authoriz-
ed to ge ahead with a bill giving effect
to this decision. Hon. Mr. Pelletier is
now working out details. Meanwhile
he has already given notice of a bill en-
titled, "An act relating to parcels post."
Itis understood that the new system
will be based on that recently introduc-
ed in the•United States, but a gradual
development at first is contemplated,
owing to the difficulties of introducing
parcel post in some of the more sparsely
settled districts where transportation
facilities are inadequate.
It is not improbable that specific
zones may be first selected in the more
thickly settled districts for trying out
the service, and these may be enlarged
from time to time by departmental act-
ion as circumstances warrant, thus fol-
lowing out the line of development now
obtaining in regard to rural mail deliv-
ery. At present, however, Mr. Pel-
letier says he is not in a position to de-
finitely announce what plan will be fol-
lowed.

GERMANY'S AERIAL FLEET.

The German Admiralty is to establish
a big aerial navy. The fleet of airships
and aeroplanes is to be entirely apart
from that connected with the army,
and is to cost $12,500,000, which amount
will be spread over fi"e years. The
bill providing for an appropriation of
$750,000 as the first outlay on the fleet
was introduced in the Imperial Parlia-
ment last week. This calls for 10 naval
dirigible balloons of the largest size, and
54 double revolving balloon halls into
which the dirigibles will be able to
enter regardless of weather. A total
of fifty aeroplanes, of which 36 are to
form the active fleet, are also to be
built, and these are to be manned by
1,452 officers and men. The appropriat-
ions for this fleet to be spread over the
years 1914 to 1918 conprise $8,750,000
for dirigibles and $2.250,000 for aero-
planes, while $1,500,000 is asked for in
connection with the pay and mainten-
ance of the crews, The life of the new
airships is estimated at only four years
each.

Mixed Races in Austro-Hungary.
A writer in the Fortnightly Review
deals with racial differences in Austro-
Hungary, According to this writer the
total population of the Empire is 50,000,
000, of whom 12,000,000 are German,
10,000,000 Magyars, 6,000,000 Czechs,
5,000,000 Poles, and about 4,000,000 each
of Ruthenians and Servians. The bal-
ance is made up of Roumanians, Slc-
vacks, Italians and other minor divi-
sions.
Nearly half of the Austro-Hungarian
population is, therefore, more nearly
allied by race with the peoples of the
New Balkan confederation than they
are with Austria. This fact is sufficient
of itself to explain the hostility of
Austria to the building up of a strong
Balkan power. The fear is that some
Austrain Provinces would gravitate to
that Power. The writer quoted seems
to be of opinion that aside altogether
from the creation of a Balkan Confed-
eration. Austria as now known 'must
shortly cease to exist.
The Farmer's Telephone.
Don't hold the line too long when you
are talking to your neighbor; perhaps
some one else ie waiting for you to quit
so that they can use the line.
Don't set a telephone pole or guy
anchor on your neighbor's land without
first getting permission to do so.
Answer your telephone promptly
when it rings for you, This quickens
the service and keeps everybody in good
humor.
Don't neglect to pay your line assess-
ments and other dues and fees prompt-
ly. It takes ready money to keep the
service up.
Don't listen to other people talking
over your line. It isn't good manners,
and besides it interfiers more or less
with their service, and also your own
battery down.
Don't take up the slack in a loose
span of telephone line wire by making
short kinks or bends in the wire. These
short bends weaken the wire and it
will eventually break there.
livery farm line should have a gener-
al ring for calling all parties to the tele-
phone, then in case of flue flood, or any
other general announcement, everybody
can be notified quickly. •
Don't sell your hogs, cattle or other
farm products to the buyer who comes
along until you have called up another
buyer or two. The chances are you
Can get a little better price by so doing.

GANGRENE.
Gangrene is the death of part of the
living body. Sometimes it results from
an injury, such as burning or frost -bite,
or from a surgical operation. Some-
times it is the consequence of a physi-
cal condition, with such causes as dia-
betes, or senility, or enbolism. What-
ever the cause or whatever form it
takes, it means that the obstruction to
circulation has been so complete as to
prevent local nutrition, and to bring
about the death of the part.
Gangrene may be either "moist" or
"dry." In the former case, the death
of the part has been sudden, while it
was still abundantly fed with the body
fluids. Moist gangrene is therefore
found in cases of severe accident. Bed-
sores, carbuncles and so-called "hospit-
al gangrene" ate of the same. variety.
Senile gangrene and the gangrene
caused by frost -bite are dry. The Cir-
culation of the aged is always s
g y some.
way through the thickened and inelastic
blood finds it so difficult to force its
whit impaired: and sometimes the ar-
teries that the extremities of the body
become gangrenous front sheer lack of
nourishment.
Moist gangrene is always preceeded
by ieflantation. The part swells and is
painful; the color, at first livid, tutus
tablue and then to black. Treatment
to be of value, must be prompt. The
pleat of &listen& is at first local; but
if it is oeglectei and entete the esietehi,
the situation becomes grave. Even am-
putation of the deceased member may
not save life.
As impaired circulation is at the root
of the trouble, the treatment must try
to restore the circulation;' and `combat
the inflamation. Local heat is the best
means of restoring the circulation. Hot
bottles, or warm irrigations, or band-
ages of hot flannels may be used. Gang-
rene is not a matter for home treat-
ment, except under the constant and
watchful care of the physician, for in
many cases operation is the only means
of saving life.

HAREM SYSTEM QF MOROCCO.
Cruelty and Oppression Almost Be.
yond Human Imagination.
Remarkable revelations of the ex-
tent of the Moorish slave trade and
of harem life were made recently by
Mme. Legey, a French doctor, who
lives at Marrakesh, Morocco. That
place is the centre of Morocco slavery
and there is a great slave market au,
thorized and controlled by the Mak31-
zen, the Moorish parliament. thou-

"None can form an idea of the Moor.
ish harem and the number of women
concealed behind the walls," says
Mme Legey. "I have seen a single
harem of more than 500 women. Mono-
gamy, in Morocco. is non-existent,
even men of small means possessing
sometimes more than 20 wives.
"The Sultan's harem surpasses the
imagination. Besides the women he
possesses et Fez, he has at Marrakesh
in reserve more than 3,000 females.
The royal harem at Marrakesh has a
special organization of its own. Each
town and each tribe has its debt to
pay in women to this modern 'Mino-
taur. The women are classed accord-
ing to their place of origin. They live
in groups in separate pavilions under
the control of female wardens. This
enormous female population is con-
stantly added to by the contributions
from Raids who have offended the
Sultan and wish to propitiate him.
"I can personally testify to the si-
lent misery of the poor creatures who
swarm in the Moorish harems and the
revoltingly cruel treatment they un-
dergo for the smallest offences. They
have absolutely no real protection
from the most savage treatment. They
have no work to do except in the case
of domestic servants, and in accord-
ance with Moorish traditions, receive
no education. There lives are one long
round of unbroken monotony, where-
from, to my knowledge, they suffer
cruelly. It is the duty of France as
soon as possible to abolish slavery in
Morocco. Then the harems will be de-
prived of the supply of women and
will disappear gradually, as was the
case in Algeria."
Better Than the "Verses."
Children, as a rule, have a natural
sense of courtesy too often misunder-
stood or depreciated by the unthinking
adult. For some strange and incom-
prehensible reason the child who is
brusque and blunt is apt to. be dubbed
"natural," while the budding man or
woman of gentle tact and sweet polite-
ness sometimes is discouraged by the
prevailing belief that such conduct
must be insincere. Yet the simplest
"little citizens" not infrequently rise
to an unexpected or trying situation
with surprising, but quite untutored, -
gifts and grace. A pretty little tale -
ia told, for in,stance, of the time when
the present Dowager Queen Margher-
ita of Italy was the lovely young
bride of the youthful crown prince.
Her majesty, passing' through one
of the hill towns, was accorded the
usual reception by the residents, A
little boy was to present the usual
bouquet, and he, coming of fine liter-
ary family, had been taught a brief
poem offering graceful praise of the
princess. But when the moment came
for delivering flowers and verses the
little fellow, overcome by nervousness
or some similar emotion, stood mute-
ly ' gazing at the great lady, sayings O
never a word. After a few moments the
sympathetic princess, seeking to re-
lieve the situation, extended her hand
for the flowers.
The little fellow, waking to life sud-
denly, yielded them gracefully, ex-
plaining confidentially the while:
"There were verses to be said, but
you are so beautiful that I can't re-
member a line!"
Greedy Dogfish.
A story is going the rounds in which
four anglers were occupied with one
fish, a big mackerel. It took the bait
of one of them and then proceeded to
entangle the foto lines, • so that it
seemed there were four fish. I ,dare
say it came in for some hard sayings
when the truth wasmade manifest.
But it is not uncommon for fish to
take two different baits. I have known
it to happen with both peroh and
pike. Dogfish, .of coarse, will often
do it. In fact, T doubt if there is a
limit to the number of baits a dog-
fish would take if you only gave him
the baits and the time and the oppor-
tunity. -London Telegraph.
