Athelstan made a vow before the'shrine of St. Burlan that he would go to the islands and conquer them, and upon them the scene et air Walter Besant's novel, "Armorer of Lyonnesee," Is laid. There is an account in an early English chronicle describing the flourishing state of Lyonnesse,and how it sudden- ly subsided beneath the sea.

And ever sines these early days he has been perfecting himself in his favorite pastimes, until today he has few superiors in• fishing and shooting., ag nti he can more than hold his own with ra; men at a wide rano 01 sports, from horsemanship and hunt- ing to tennis and billiards.

Mayes, his teacher, once de- clared, "If he had .cared to compote, he might have had a good look -in at the English championship." 'His Majesty's, ideal holiday, how- ever, is one spent with a grin or a &tie ing-rod. In his-youngerdays.he as- tonished the world by his skill and daring as a big -game hunter. He shot many a tiger in Nepaul, when a false aim meant almost certain death; and once he brought down a Charging ele- phant in Ceylon within a dozen paces of his smoking rifle. But his suprenesi feat of markamtnship woe when once he killed five magnificent stags with half a dozen shots in the Forest of Mar. To -day he spends many of his hap- piest holiday -hours" with hie guns on the moors of Scotland or in the Royal preserves at Windsor and Sandring- ham, where he has performed some truly amazing feats. Thus on one oe casion, when (shooting with Lord Iveagh, he brought down three widely - scattered and high-fying pheasants and et bare with four succeesave shots. On another occasionhe acquainted for 32 grouseinlessethan four hours. Some Huge Bags. But it is perhaps at Sandringham that his Majesty is most in his element with a gun. Here, in company with a few friends, he loves to spend long, busy dupe among the birds, rising at five in the morning, and shooting until dusk. He is a master of woodcraft) arranges lits field with consummate skill, and always chooses the. most dif- ficult station for himself. How great the slaughter is may be gauged by the fact that in a single day ten guns once killed 2,535 head, including 1,275 pheasants. But Icing George's guns have very formidable rivals in his fishing -rods. lMIL ii5Avia ®®ma mala me. O1111,MI NIS lakye' ® let iss HEALTH EDUCATION BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial. Board of Health.

"Ah, there it is," you will -hear them whisper, "something IS going around." I heard this 'ex- pression very often in an Ontario town recently, and it interested rue very much to hear it repeated, with- out any further interest being taken in what it wag that was going around, where it canoe from, and when and how it would go away. As a matter of fact there was nothing "going a'r'ound" in that town as far as I could see, except' ordinary colds. Friends would call on friends and one would infect the othder by toughing, probably while at tea or having a little confi- dential chat, It is' worth. while to re- member that comtnon colds are very cont'a'gious, and the "go around," Even robust persons many contract colderfrom those who have them, Care should .be taken that no parson with a told either coughs Or aneezas neat anyone Oleo without coveting his mouth and hon* with a .italudkerehief.

These germs may then be breathed into the mouth and nose, with the air. "Preventive medicine" is not a lini- ment as some people suppose, It is a science, a system of teaching and practicing eules of 'health and the prevention of disease. This' branch of medicine, so far as it relates to the individual, :is concerned with the normal, healthy body and how tokeep it se; the care and usage it should receive, .the protection of its vital organs from abuse or overstrain; how to fortify the body against diseases and to cultivate its mental and physi- cal efficiency, thus prolonging the span of life. Preventive medicine as regards the community pertains to the removal, control or lessening of the causes 0f disease and physical de- cay, and to removal of condition' fav- orieg them, Its aim is therefore pre- ventive rather -than curative. It re- gards the community as a group of individuals whose health has to be eafeguarded, the interests of one is the interests of all, and it is the duty of each and every individual to pre- serve those interests. This is civili- zationand is different from an un- organised community such as a jungle. The Orillia Packetaptly expresses the point this way: "In the jungle every creature thinks of its rights and none of its duty.' That is the reason it is a jungle." The aim of Preventive Medicine i5 to !1Yromate health and raise the standard of citizenship.

The education of the Boy Scout to- day has been greatly broadened out from the methods of training first planned for their outdoor life. Every Idea. has been taken up by men who are experts in planning for making the young Canadian rugged and healthy, intelligent, patriotic, cour- ageous, and skilled to protect men, women and children from accidents, and to give hid in case of injury. Athletic sports are only one method of making the Boy Scout strong and supple. All manner of athletic axes-. cases are part of their curriculum, and iu many cases they excel. Life -Buying drills and swimming are parts of the training, but ee1f-defense is by no means ignored. The camp is, perhaps the nearest approach to military disoipllne made by the Scout movement. The absolute necessity of dis'oipdine is evidenced at no otter point in the whole work as it is in the summer camp, where the lives and limbs of a large number of boys are more or less dependent upon prompt obedience to order. While the Scout movement recog- nized the need of enforcing discipline and teaching boys the habit of obedi- ence to those in eonunand, the point is kept in mind by the camp director and the Scoutmasters that the boys aro there mainly to learn Scouting and not for undergoing 'harsh discipline. The feet that those who have once been to camp eagerly made preparation for returning is an indication that the lines of conduct are not so stringent as to prohibit the enjoyment of all nor- mal boyish (Mshes. A typical day's programme at a camp is on this order: At half -past six o'clock the bugler's sound reveille.

But, of course, the advertise- ments that Interest me most are those of domestic things. Whenever I order l,roceries for Instance, 1 find myself asking for the things whose names are familiar to me through reading the advertisements In the news- papers. They may not be bet- ter than others, but as I don't know the names of others how can I tell?' Goods that aro at- tractively and regularly adver- tised always strike me as pros- perous, and prosperous things must be good, otherwise they wouldn't be prosperous, would they? And when i am, buying things for my toilet I always buy the well-known things, although salesgirls try to sell me others sometimes. I never let them, though. Why buy the unknown when you can be sure of the quality of the known? And I find my friends like to talk about the- well-known things that they eat or use or wear—like foods, canned soups, cheese, washing machines, cor- sets, gloves and things like that. So there must be some- thing in a name after all. The way I feel about it is that no business man would spend a lot of money to advertise a poor article; therefore, those things that are advertised must have superior qualities about them. And I have found that adver- tised articles, far from costing more than unadvertised goods, can very often be bought for less. At least you know what you should pay forthem—the makers tell you generally In their advertisements. As for the advertisements of the stores, some of them are not as attractive as many of the more general advertise- ments, but 1 Just couldn't shop without them.

Adv. Speed Coshes With Age. One of the most interesting of re- cent discoveries in connection with astronomy is that the older a star grows, the faster does it move. A star, like an express train, takes time to get up speed. In the course of the train, however, It is a matter of a few minutes only; with a star it is millions of years. The speed of the.fastest star is about three hundred miles per second. This celes- tial racer is invisible with the naked eye, but has a number of other means of identification for the convenience of astronomers. It has been found that the average velocity of faint stars Is much greater than that of brighter Duos. Twenty- eight faint ones have bean found to have an average velocity of 133 miles per second, whilst the speed of nine very bright ones averaged only eighty miles per second. Judged from the standard of speed. our own sun—which would appear es a star if it was far enough away from us—as a comparative Sntant. Its speed is only about twelve miles per second.
