People Who Live In Remote and Wet Pieces reset to Feel the 1'eetil. lar Effect and Power of the Silence Tiutt Surround Them. There area parts of Canada that are very still, A profound silence broods over them, and athlete the only sound ane hears when he goes into them is that of his awn Movements. "Busy, bustling Canada" does not apply °o places like these, writes Aubrey Ful- lerton in Forest and Outdoors. Almost anywhere, to be sure, one will and something of this great se, once in the weeds, fqr in forest aisles and deep recesses among the trees the noises of town life seem very fain away; but even fu the woods, as com- monly known, nature has its own mottle and makes its owe noises. Some places there are, however, in which there is not so much as a bit 01 bird music, for the birds,ere few and s ieningly voiceless. Over many miles the noisiest thing one hears is the wind in the treeetops In summer, or the snapping of twigs with the frost in winter, or perhaps the cry of some animal in •rouble. ,Among sect places are vast stretches of northern wilderness in the Mackenzie and Yukon territories. The hinterland of all the western pro- vinces, and of northern Ontario and Quebec as w 41. have great areas of wilderness ceunery, but in the far nurthwest the pervading silence is ac- centua.e d by the sense of remoteness. It is all deadly Kill and a long way off. People who live in these remote and quiet places naturally get to feel the peculiar effect and power of the silence that everywhere surrounds them. They break that silence by their own necessary commotions, but all the noise they can possibly make Is in about the proportion of a drop of water to an ocean. The brooding stillness over the whole vast region completely swallows up such trifling disturbances as a few humans can create. For in either the Mackenzie or the Yukon, or in the top parts of provinces like Alberta and Saskatche- wan, the only population, except the scattered wilderness Indians, is at a few posts or camps along the water- ways, which are therefore much the same as oases in the desert. When people come from the silent places into the noise and confusion of town life, they have many and strange sensations, as might be ex- pected. A man who had lived all his thirty-eight years in the Lake Atha- baska country, and had never seen a railway train or an electric light, came down to Edmonton and saw and heard more wonderful things than he had ever imagined. The elevators in the office buildings were the most marvellous of all, he thought, but nothing was uninteresting to this vis - Leer from the wilderness, An Indian youth in northern Brit- ish Columbia was similarly introduc- ed for the first time, to the city and was i apreseed particularly with the telephones, street cars, and roller skates! Seine of the wonders of the out- side world have been taken into the sent pieces, and when drat seen titre they have awakened as much a:nazetaent as lite strange sight; that northerners have seen when they have Nene to the city.

But the airplane is still mw and is even yet seen but rarely. Vinen 1;. first went into the north, a few years ago, some of the Indians hid them- selves from the awesome sight, With all the quiet and loneliness of these far places, there still is some- thing in them the: takes hold of the people who visit them and especially of these who live in teem for some length of time. Vast and empty as the wilderness is, men grow to love it, and when they have left it and gone to easier and softer places, it nas ,f - ten drawn them back.

Old Songs Revived In a little eastern village, On a drear September night, A livery stable keeper Met a maid whose troth he'd plight, Now, he was tall and handsome, In my thinking way, And she—oh, boy 1 was quite queen, She was so slim and gay. The livery stable keeper, As he asked her for her hand, Attempted to embrace her, But for this she would not stand "Oh, why upon this manly breast Will you not lay your head?" She loosed into his honest face, And this is what she said : "My love works in a greenhouse, And there always is a smell Of violets and geraniums Upon his coat lapel Now mind I do not blame you, Nor do I make cenplaint, That a greenhouse has a frag ranee That a livery stable ain't."

Thear composition is extremely variable and dependent to a large degree upon their origin and method of formation ; they' consist largely of ground rock mat- ter, clay and sand, together with shell, more or less broken up, ant/ organic debris (the rem' the of plants and animals) id variable quantities. The percentage of plant food in muds are, as a rule, not high. In many cases they do not exceed those of good soils. Certain muds, how- ever, contain notable amounts of nitrogen and organic matter and these, more particurar-y, are of yalue as soil amendments 'onseibly the value of most "muds- nos been found to be in improving the mech- anical condition of worn and ex- hausted soils. Muds characterized high lime content, as for example "Mussel Mud" and "Oyster Shell Mud", will be found useful amend- ment for acid soils and soils in need of lime, 'furnishing fairly ]yigh amounts of carbonate of lime, While the lime contained in the shells of these classes of mutt acts somewhat slowly, the results are lasting, and these materials have been used with good results for the correction of soil acidity on many farms of the Maritime provinces. Muds, even of good quality, cannot; however, be expected to take the place of manure and fertilizers. ' Of late years the s_actice of "mudding" the soil bs neeome less popular and apparently is gradually dying out. This is probably due to the fact that recent advances in scientific agriculture have made it possible to more economically in- crease the productiveness of the soil by improved methods of farming. in eluding the rational use of mvnure rind fertilizers, than by the applic- ation of this class of soil amend- ment.
