A prominent New Yot'k daUY w.as adver° tiling leo preacher's sermons, opo of which was entitled: To the Beaten Soul. Tile minister delivered the ser- mon, but to his chagrin ho felt that be c0ntd not llniah 1t the way he end Intended. Visitor a carious conatratnt he added two Renteuces at tee end, ' feeling rut if they were quite unsuit- able. The sentences were those: "Ite' member you can always bold on a 11t. 11 longer, Yon hover know, what is waiting, for you round the next eine not," A raw clays later lie received u let-,. ter from a man who had heard the tier. mon, The man said that at the time he thought be had Anisliod with life, beeause.be felt that life had finished with him; lie bad decided to commit suicide. On the morning of his de- cisiou, however, be had seen the ad- vertieemont of the sermon, To the Beaten Soul, and he made up Ilia, mind to hear it. Ile attended the service, but was left cold and. untouched until right at the Ord two seutenesa seemed to grip him: "Remember you can al- ways hold ou e little logger. You never know what is waiting for you round the next corner:" These two senteucee saved trim. He realized their truth, and "round the next corner" he had. discovered a chance to make life worth while after all. It is such incidents that make us feel the truth of the lines: There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough hew them bow we will. "Lloyd's" Originally a Coffee House. "Lloyd's," for whose new hone King George recently laid the foundation stone, arose, like most other British in- stitutfone, from a very modest origin.' It can be traced back to a casual gatlt-! ering of merchants, ship owners and sea captains who met and talked more than two hundred years ago at a cef-; fee Nonce kept by Edward Lloyd, first in Tower Street and afterwards in' Lombardr St e f e t. Sncet 1 s removal tp the present quarters in the southeast' corner of the Royal Exelu,nge--where benevolent underwriters will quote a j premium for every imaginable form of l risk from the fauudering of an ocean liner to the loss of a silk hat—the so -i ofety has been divided into "'underwrit-1 ing members," "not- underwriting, bers" memand " annual sttbscrlbers." •' To one of the two latter classes most London merchants in a Large way of business find it well worth while to be -1 long. "Lloyd's" has long since over- flowed into Fenchureb Street, where, in a fine building with beautiful friezes and marbles, the Shipping Registry is ! now conducted by a separate depart meat. The spacious new premises now, being erected in Leadenhall Street will' completely transform a famous Lon- don thoroughfar connected with Obarles Lamb. Old Sot's Name. In the language of the Hottentots Net as in Teutonic, the moon is "he, the sun "ehe," and rude tribes In both hemispheres still' makes the moon masqullne and the sun feminine. On the other hand, a medieval writer sayer the sun used to be called "Holy Lady" For the aborigines of North America the peace pipe is the gift of the sun. In the council the pipe is alwaya passed around, following the. sun's coarse. The Natchez lived under a mon-. urchy. and the royal family, children of the sun, like the face of the Incas in 1 Peru. stood high above the common people. In Mexico the sun was pre- eminent over all the other gods. In the Hebrew sacred books there are denunciations of sun worship, for •tile heathen an around paid adoration to that luminary, and sumo of the kings of Judea and Israel favored the weasels? of the sun, It lee clearer set forth by the writings of eleven kings. ' d STOMACH TROUBLE DUE TO THIN BLOOD It Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one o1 the meat cools mon causes of stomach trouble.

For myself I do not miss the cono lideneos of the old omnibti, driver and OIL of Ills colleagues. The conductor often bee a grievance against a tieket in- spector or 8. lnember of his wife's , family. or the deportment of a passen- ger from Victoria„and he never failed to tell me all about !t.' They were ,,both for ono thing legal advisers; ' never better pleased than when some .1 nice point was s',bmltted, and always ready to give counsel's opinion. I do 11I not like to think of what happened in cases where their advice was followed. The laws regarding landlord and ten- ant had for them no secrets, "You sue him,” they would generally - say;. "ttat's all you've got' to do; sue him. Or else jelly well lock bins up. Failing which, your best and wisest plan will be t0 push his face lel" In a lesser degree they were medical advisers and political experts with in- side knowledge or both subjects denied to ordinary folk. Though they were always ready to give the best Infertile - tion they possessed, there were me • ^ meats wben their patience was sub- jected to unfair trials, Two Ameri- can women coming on top at Trafalgar Square fired half a dozen question's at their driver before the omnibus start - Grasshoppers as Food. Everyone knows that cats catch grasshoppers and eat them wi1;ILgreat relish, though housewives will tell you that they glow thin on that diet. Fabre, the famous natul•alist, believes that grasshoppers and similar insects would be palatable food for human be- ings too, and in one of his books, says Mr, Percy F. Bicknell, he quoted wish approval this passage from General Daumas's book. The Great Desert, ex- plaining in a footnote that the grass- hopper (snute'elle) referred to is more exact] the t e cricks# which must not be confused with the true grasshopper: "The graealtopper is good eating both for wren and for camels. Either fresh or pickled, it is eaten after tete feet, the wings and the head have been removed; the net is broiled or stew- ed and served up In the form of neat ba11s. After being dried in the. sun it Is ground to powder, which may be stirred into milk or made into dough and then fried iu fat or butter with salt. Camels greatly like to eat grass- hoppers, which are served to them either dried or after being roasted in a heap in a large hole between two layers of live coals, The Negroes also 7. "The Virgin Mary, having asked God Par some meat that abonld have no blood, He sent her some grasshoppers. "The wives of the prophets, when anyone sent them a presnt of grass- hoppers, always Shared them with the other women. "The Calif Omar, one day when he was asked whether the use of grass- hoppers for food was permitted, re- plied: 'I should like to leave a basltet- ful of them to eat' "From all this testimony it !s clearly evident that by the grace of God grass- hoppers -were given to man Per food." t th Revenues from the Forests. Over eighty per cent.' of the timber- and in Canada is owned by the Do- minion or provincial governments,and the timber is disposed of almost en- tirely under licenses to out over de- finite areas for which an annual ground -rent and a royalty on the tim- ber cut is charged. These licenses are, for the meet part, renewable annually, the governments reserving the right to alter the rates of rental or royalty and'. o impose such regulations as are eemed expedient. The direct revenue o the federal and provincial govern- ments frontthe forests amounts to bout $12,000,009 annually, of which bout $4,500,000 is spent in protection nd administration. • Radio Millenium. The history of the phonograph Is a being repeated now with the radio, In a the beginning in both inetanoes, a few a of the world-renowned artists "tried the thing," just to see' how It would go. Then, with a sudden fear of cheapen- - ing themselves, they refused to have anything to do with the affair. 8'Inally, they began to see that even they could not withstand, the imperative uses of the new invention and allowed their 1 art to go to the greater multitude. In the case of the radio, they are' still doing this in a t somewhat hesitant manner, but the pregnant fact is that 1 they are doing It—Dame. Nellie Melba, and also Pade•ewski and Luisa Te- trazzinl in England, and a number of thele on this side of the Atlantic. The total stand of timber in Canada s•estimated to comprise 482,000 mil - ion feet bogrd measure of saw ma- Bial, and 1,280 million cords of pulp- wood, fuelwood, posts, etc., a total of 46,826 million cubic feet. 0f this, 08,946 mihIian cubic feet is in the ];astern provinces, 56,423 million in ho Prairie Provinces, and 81,657 mil - ion in British Columbia; but British Columbia has 70 per cent of the saw material in the Dominion.

Surnames and Their Origin WINER Variation—Winters.T Racial Origin—Eng] rah. Source—An occupation. If youjump at the apparent conclu- sion that the origin of this family name is connected in some manner with the season of the year, you will be wrong. It isn't, As the name traces back to the twelfth end thirteenth centuries it Is found in the spelling "Wyneter," "Vin - ours" and "Viners," Or does the mod- ern word "vintner" make it clear.? Those who first used the surname were wine merchants and the surname was at first descriptive of their calling. Ita ws of course, preceded by "le" (meaning "the") at that period. That it, it was when the speaker was using the Norman rather than the Saxon tongue, In the latter case he might simply neglect the prefix, adopting the Norman word in his Saxon speech„ or else use the Saxon equivalent. But Norman-French was the predominant tongue in those days, and it was just about the time the bulk of surnames were becoming hereditary as indica- tions of the people themselves 'rather than their,gaIlengs or peculiarities, that the Normans. in England began to regard themselves as Englishmen, and there occurred that peculiar blending of tongues which resulted in modern English, a language quite different from either the Saxon or the medieval French, its two component parts, Winter and Winters appear to be the only form in which the surname has survived, though originally there were •several variations. MACLURE Variations — McClure, Macleod, Mac- Leod. Racial Origin—Norse-Scottish. Source—A given name. It's hard to know whether to class this Highland Scottish name as Scot- tish, Norwegian or Irish, because in a sense it is each one of them. Beginning as the old Norse given name of "Lead," it became the name of two Highland clans as Macleod, was taken to Ireland, where it became Ma- dura and was brought back to Scot- land in that form. "Leoid" was a son of Olave, a broth er of Magnus, the last king of Man, for fairly early in the Christian era thet Vikings s had conquered and estab- lished themselves along the western coast of England and Scotland, His ancestry traced back through six gene- rations to Harold the Black, who was king of the Norsemen about the time the Normans invaded England. There are two branches of the clan he founded, the Maeleods, or, i1 you choose to call them so, the two clans. One of these ie known in Gaelic as "Siol Termed" (Clan Norman, or Nor- manson) and the other as "Slot Tor- quit" (Tburkildson), though 1n Eng-lI fish they are referred to as the Mac -I lends of Harris and the Macieods of ffffff Lewis. After their defeat at the Battle of Worcester, certain of the Macleods of Harris fled to the north of Ireland, where the tendency was to pronounce the final "d" in their name as an "r," thus giving "Macleor," or Maclure. In this form the name returned to Gallo- way in the seventeenth century, Old Gates. Oh, I think they muse and mourn, And tremble at my touch -- The old gates are solemn things, For they remember much; The little hands that opened them— And little feet at play— The sad hearts that went through them, Forever, far away: The hot tears that 1511 on them, The handclasp through the bars, The love words and promises Beneath the wistful stars. Silent loves of other days— Oh, speak to them as such, For old gates are mournful things And they remember much, —W. D. Gough. Coleman glacier, at the head of Smoky river northeast of Mt.

President• Registrar, ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE GUELPH ONTARIO A Lesson from the Hebrew Grammar. A man of high character batt ordin- ary education was addressing it room- ful of school children, end he .said to them: "All of you know the verb which says, '1 am, tbau art, he !a'; and all of you know that verbs 'in English, French, German, Italian and Latin run in that way; '1 love, thou loyest, he loves; or I walk, thou walltest, he walks. But do you know that that is .a very bad way for a verb to run? 'Do you know that the old Ilebrew people arranged their verbs the other way round: He Is, thou art, 1 tin?" Then he added: "netts the way to look at life. Say to yourself, looping up to God, 'Ole is'; then look at your neighbor and say, 'You are'; last of all drink of yourself and say, '1 aol' First God, then your neighbor, then yourself. That is the way to think and to live." One who heard this story was so struck by the thought that lie could not rest until he found a Hebrew scholar able to tell him whether it real- ly was true that Hebrew verbs are conjugated 1n this way. He sought out a scholar and put his question. "Yes," said the scholar, "the Hebrew verb is conjugated as you say. Why do you ask?" So the other told him what the man had said to the school child- ren. "Goer heavens!" exclaimed the scvholar with radiant face. "I have been studying Hebrew forty years, and never once has it occurred to th.,l. Hebrew verbs have that wonderful and beautiful significance:" Ile sat for somaomen m c is saying: "lie is, thou art, I am. How beautiful! Yes, to be sure: He is, you are, I ala. Wonderful, wonderful!" Straws of Wisdom. Increased earnings Invariably bring increased yearnings. The nearer you get to some people the smaller they seem. Those people 1110 possess self-re- spect are never really poor. The man who Is always bent on pleasure gets broken very soon. Sweeping assertions raise clouds of misunderstandings. Those who always depend on luck will soon have nothing else to depend on. The mean person, who always saves for a rainy day. seems to expect a flood. Nobody loses anything by politanes... but many people seem to risk it. When a man flatters himself that he understands a woman he flatters him- self. "Waken the Dayspring of . Courage." As a man's footsteps in the dew of the morning are the labors of the minor artist; but if he challenge curer feet and greater strength to pursue his guest 'before the dews are dried and his passing forgotten, then be alsa has played a part. The masters flash lightning through our clouds of human passion, ignorance and error, or hang rainbows of promise upon their gloom; but for us of the rank and file, it is enough that we make happy such as have heard only of happiness and waken the dayspring, of courage in fearful hearts; it is enough if we kindle one valley mist with a gleam or beauty or pour some few pure drops of hope into the thirsty and percipient soul. ---Eden Phillpotts in "Children."
