THE TOWN KNOCKER.
(Toronto Star)
The Mayor of a town in Western
Ontario has made quite a sensation by
offering to buy out all the property' of a
member of the town council, who is, he
says a kicker and a knocker, on condit-
ion that the other man will go away
and live some place else. We do not
know anything about the facts, and it
may be that the Mayor, by making so
unusual an offer, is but scoring a telling
point against an adversary. But it is
heavy scoring. The truth is that the
town is burdened with men who are a
detriment to it, and it would actually
pay the municipality to buy them out
at their own valuation and be rid of
them. They oppose everything and
have no faith in anybody. They sus
pect the motives of those that do the
most generous actions. It is said of
John Bright's brother that he was
never known to say a striking thing ex
cept once when he was granted an in-
terview by Queen Victoria. A little
child was brought in, and Mr. Bright
observed: "When I see so many lovely
babies I often wondered where all the
ugly old men come from." It was a
notable remark. And when we see so
many fine young fellows in our Towns
and Cities, one is led to wonder what
happens to some of them that hey
turn kickers and knockers at the age
of fifty er sixty.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR MOTHER?
Two girls were conversing the other
day, says "Observer," in the Guelph
Herald, and one was heard to observe
to her companion: "Mother is getting
so queer; there's no pleasing her."
That's the lament of many a young
girl to -day, but let us hope it does not
emanate from the sensible ones. Of
course, mother is getting queer in the
estimation of the modern product called
girlhood -she wouldn't be a sensible old
mother if she didn't feel queer -and
horrified -occasionally. What with the
actions and habits and modes of dress
and different ideas that the girls of to-
day ape and aim at the wonder is that
the well -brought -up mothers don't
occasionally get something worse than
"queer."
And if there was nothing of this to
cause mother to be queer she would
still have some justification for feeling
as she often does. No mother who has
raised a family can get over a certain
age without feeling that way many
times. There are physical reasons for
it, and there are also many mental ones.
She sees her loved ones leaving her and
going sometimes far away, whether
with those she approves or disapproves
only marks the degree of the queer
feeling inseparable from such dis-
ruptions of the home life. Mother by
that time has sacrificed enough of her-
self to feel worn out -pains, heartaches
and the bitterness often of feeling neg-
lected and unappreciated have made
her wish for rest many a time. The
girl who thinks her mother "queer" is,
no doubt, one of the chief heartaches
of the mother -her waywardness, in-
difference, and total lack of sympathy
have added many a pang to the mother's
aching heart.
Then, it is not always the mother who
is queer. Very, very often it is the
daughter, who has inbibbed the queer
notions of the age and hasn't got the
sense to realize that, though mother
may be old fashioned andher views and
actions not those of the present day,
they are still the views and actions of
a dear old soul, and of a period that
produced the best of men and women.
The queerness some girls discover in
their mothers is often the distorted
views of a precocious sex that seeks to
recognize no authority, no law, and no
morals, except its own dangerous and
perverted ones.
So my young friend when you come
to speak of your mother as queer, re-
vert the looking glass and take a look
at yourself. Perhaps a dispassionate,
sensible glance will reveal where the
chief fault lies.
INCREASE IN LIQUOR OUTPUT.
An increase of about 25 per cent. in
the output of Canadian cigar factories,
breweries and distilleries for the last
fiscal year indicates one phase of na-
tional development which it may be well
not to boast about. The annual report

cise, amounting to S21,859,034. This is
an increase of $4,606,358, or nearly 25
pec cent., during the past two years.
The production of spirits totalled
0,458,452 proof gallons, or 1,675,052
gallons more than in 1911-12. In addi-
tion to this, there are 20,532,928 gallors
still in warehouses, on which excise has
not yet been paid.
CIGARETTES AND CIGARS.
The manufacture of cigarettes in-
creased during the year by no less than
195,000,000, while the number of dom-
estic cigars manufactured increased by
48,834,581, the total number of cigars
put on the market being 297,741,815.
Thu raw material for this number
of cigars totalled 5,775,308 pounds of
leaf tobacco. The total weight of raw
leaf tobacco used by manufacturers in
Canada during the year was 23,849,987
pounds.
SNUFF HAVING REVIVAL.
Snuff, which apparently went out of
rashion years ago, shows signs of again
coming into style. The, output last
year was 659,992 pounds, an increase of
125,000 pounds.
From the distilling and brewing busi-
ness the Dominion collected last year
41,332,678 in revenue, and from the
tobacco business $9,793,895.
The export of Canadian whiskey dur-
ing the year totalled 333,802 gallons, as
compared with 298,760 gallons for the
preceding year. The exportable sur-
plus is still, however, considerably less
than in 1908, when it reached the top
figure of 412,859 gallons.
MALT LIQUOR PRODUCTION.
The total production of malt liquor,
such as ale, beer and porter, was 52,-
314,400 gallons, which represents prac-
tically a year's domestic consumption.
Of this quantity Ontario breweries pro-
duced 22,1100,301 gallons; Quebec, 11,-
119,088 gallons; New Brunswick, 505,-
205 gallons; Nova Scotia, 933,917 gal-
lons; Manitoba, 4,108,884 gallons; Sas-
katchewan, 819,193 gallons, and British
Columbia, 4,391,344 gallons.
She Gained 35 lbs.
Mrs. George Bradshaw, Harlowe, Ont.,
writes: "I was troubled for many years
with weak watery blood and dropsy.
I had nervous headaches, dizziness and
sinking spells, and was in fact, a semi -
invalid. Doctors told me my heart and
kidneys were deceased and gave me up.
By using ten boxes of Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food I have been cured of many
of my old complaints and gained 35
pounds in weight."
The Other Fellow.
Give him a kindly, brotherly thought
at least once in a while. Make him the
centre of things occasionally instead of
yourself. Get into the habit of seeing
a few things from his point of view.
As you value the best things for which
men were made, do not make all life a
competition and all humanity a field for
your exploitation. Of course you can
get ahead of the other fellow if you
try hard enough, and act meanly enough
but the net result of it all is bound to
be terribly disappointing. The money
in your pocket that ought justly be in
his, may not burn a hole and get out,
but it may do something very much
worse than that, it may burh and scar
and scorch your own soul. It is really
a rather serious matter living along-
side the other fellow. What we do
with him may be important from his
point of view, but it is very much more
important from ours. -Christian Guard-
ian.
Eczema and Sore Eyes.
"My daughter sufferedfrom inflamed
eyelids and eczema on her head," writes
Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Planford, Nfld.
"The child was in a bad state and suf-
fered greatly. The doctor failed to
help her,and on recommendation of a
friend, I used Dr. Chase's Ointment,
which made a complete cure. With a
grateful heart I write you this letter."
How to Store Dahlia Bulbs.
Though winter seems a long way off
it will not come amiss to say something
about storing away the dahlias until
planting time comes next year. The
roots will not live if left in the ground
all winter, though they need not be
disturbed until the frosts have killed
the foliage. The roots must be lifted
carefully on a warm sunny day and
allowed to dry on the ground until
evening, when they should either be
moved into a sheltered place or
well eovered with an old blanket, Un-
cover and sun again the following day.
After a week or ten days they can be
placed in the cellar in boxes, and put
in a place where the temperature is
moderately even. It should never be
lower than forty degrees nor rise above
fifty. The roots must be watched
carefully and if any show signs of
decay the soft parts immediately cut
out. They should always be guared
against rats as they are very tempting
morsels for the rodents.
The dahlia fully deserves its long
popularity, for it is one Of the most
beautiful of flowers, lasting well and
blooming profusely in many varied
colors. One of the chief charms of the
dahlia is the ease with which itis grown,
as it does not require carefully prepared
soil or a selected Gunny Spot. Anyone
With a back yard may produce a wealth
of blooms to beautify the last of the
sunitner day&

men In charge of an officer marched
every evening from the Chelsea or the
Wellington barracks to the Hank of
England. For the last few years, ow-
ing to the great increase of street
traffic, the soldiers have gone by the
underground railway, and nowadays
the nightly guard is drawn from the
troops stationed in the Tower of Lon,
don.
1f the visitor to London watts by Of
bank any evening at half past 6 o'clock
he will see ahoot thirty men In the
charge of a lieutenant and two ser-
geants marched lip in parade dres9
with fixed baypnets and loaded atm
munition belts. These are the only
troops that may march through the
city of London with fixed bayonets.
The men themselves like this duty.
When they march back to quarters,
ahnut 7 o'clock in the morning, they
may do as they please for the rest of
the day, and they receive an extra
shilling n day from the bank man-
agers. Each man also bus a pair of
fine blankets wherein to wrap himself
while he waits for his turn to go on
guard, and In winter big fires are light-
ed for them. They have generous re-.
fresbments provided for them, and
the officer in command has a dinner
for himself and two friends.
in the daytime another curious sur-
vival of the pest Is to be observed. Al-
though detectives guard all the doors,,
the old uniformed beadles are also paid
for the service. Prom the standpoint
of efficiency, these officials are very
mach in the way, but as long as the
Bank of England has been in existence'
the beadles have policed it. Cense•
quently the beadles are allowed to re-.
main.
The custom of providing a little gar-
rison for the bank dates back to 1780,
when an attack was made upon the
bank by a mob daring the Gordon
riots, picturesquely described in "Bar-
naby nudge." it is said that in the
fight that ensued between the rioters
and the clerks of the bank the latter
melted their metal inkpots for am-
munition after their supply of bullets
had given out. -Youth's Companion.
HAZARDOUS MAIL ROUTES.
Postmen in Some Countries Are Never
Sure of Their Lives.
The camel postman in the Sahara'
hasn't any cinch -that is, if he has a
family he's anxious to live for or hap-
pens to be leading a care free bachelor
existence, for he needs all the nerve
that be can possibly summon on every
trip that he makes, for the wild tribes
regard him as their particular prey.
and he never does know when he starts
out whether or not he is going to reach
his destination.
Neither has the postman In some
parts of Switzerland the safest job in
the world. In fact, in several plaees in
that country it is considered just about
the most dangerous profession that a
man ran enter.
You sue some of the postoffices are
situated at a height of 7,000 fe':t. There
is even n letter hog at the summit of
Langunrd, which is nearly 10,000 feet
above the sea level. Here all sorts or
disastrous things have happened to un-
fortunate carriers of mail. Three have
been crushed to death by avalanches
and a large number swooped down
upon and killed by fierce eagles.
Then in India the postman always
has to be on the lookout for snakes. It
is claimed that within the last year
150 were killed by snake bites and
twenty seven eaten by tigers.
Queer, isn't It, when in this country
the business of being a postman seems
about the most harmless and least dan-
gerous of any a tnun could pick out?
in parts of Siberia they have only
two mail deliveries n year, while in the
interior of China they have no regular
delivery or regular postman. -Chicago

Primrose Cures.
The primrose of old was credited
with a medieipnl as well as a super-
stitious value. Even now in some coun-
try parts of Englund a decoction of
primrose leaves Is supposed to restore
a falling memory, and in 1054. when
Culpeper wrote his "London i)ispensn-
tory," the primrose was regarded as
an almost universal panacea. curing
"convulsions. falling sickness, palsies,
etc.," and strengthening "the brain,
senses and memory exceedingly." And
even the healthy did not disdain to
eat it, for primrose pasty was once a
popular Lancashire delicacy.- London

The Americans have a polite habit
on being presented to a new acquaint-
ance of uttering the words, "Pleased

pleasure can feet, or hoar they know

nary incident which is net the fulfill -
