THURSDAY, APRIL 3 1913 PASSING OF THE MAPLE I saw you seek a shady place And drink a cooling draught, I heard the water trickle down As from the stream you quaffed. If I could only plunge my nose In water sweet and cool; If I could quench my burning thirst north has long since been given its qui- A moment at the pool. etus. Oh Master dear,we serve ou well, And now the words, if not the tunes, gut oh, if you ould think, of the "Land of the Maple" and other When oftentimes you quench your thirst "The sun do move" and so "do" 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. All Skin Diseases AME OCCASIONED IT BAD BLOOD.

The blood cart easily be purified egad the skin disease cured by the use of Burdock Blood Bitters, t s h ta td *eel d widely known blood medicine, It has been on the market for over 35 Years and its reputation is,itnrivalled.

A GOOD HABIT Tea when you are tired particularly if it's 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.

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.

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- sands of men, women and children i cattle. 1 like cat e, Bar are bought and sold bies are frequently torn from the arms of sobbing mothers. who never see them again. "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.
