Sonne ono defines puiletuality to be
'fifteen minutes before time." Ae any
rata, it is not one minute after the
time.
I must tell you en anecdote of the
first Menu's. of Aberdeen, He ioyite4
a number of Maude to dinner, The
hour for dinner was Sive, and all teeee
invited knew it, 01 course, Well, the
hour arrived, and but one of the Guests
had come, Down sat the marquis and

was.
Sly -and -by another guest dropped in,

dinner being eaten. And one by one
all the rest came, and were likewise.
mortified. But the marquis had taught
them all a good -lesson, and I venture
to say that the next time they. }Vero in

General Washington was '90 very

' friends who wore expecting Ulm at a
certain hour, on finding that he had
not arrived, all concluded that their
watches must have been wrong; and
surd enough they Bail, for Washington

No doubt hie habits of punctuality
helped to make him the great man that

I knew a clergyman once throw him-
self luto the Mississippi River and
swim eighteen miles down stream to
keep an appointment for afternoon ser-
vice. I traveled through the Upper
Mississippi region ;inertly after, and
for hundreds of mites from the place
where he lived, out toward the border,
I heard of tills great feat. The border

liim "the minister who made the big

Nor is any one too young to begin
the cultivation of habits 01 punctuality.
The boy who is on time at school, on
time in class, on time when sent on an
errand, and so on, is apt to be the
punctual business or professiongl roan.
The habit of promptness is likely to
cling all through lifo.
Some persons, on the contrary, go
all through life in a sliresbod, down -at
the -heel way, and never prosper. They
get to a wedding as people are com-
ing off, They are late at church; don't
meet their notes, go to protest, and
are in trouble generally, •
Washington's :way was the best. The
Marquis of Abercorn was in the right.
'That Mississippi clergyman did nobly.
Arid these three are good examples for
our boys and girls to .follow. Never be
behind time, and 11 you can, be a. little
ahead of it, and you will never repent
o1 the habit of punctuality.
When Does the Day Begin?
Strange as it may sound, there is- ane
imaginary line on the earth's surface
where the day changes abruptly. When
'we step over that line we step straight,
out of on day into the next.
Let us sea how this comes about.
The earth is belted by meridians of
longitude, with the meridan of Green-
wich as the zero, or starting point.
Suppose we start from Greenwich,
or any other place on the same meri-
dian, and travel eastwards. If, before
starting, we set our watches to Green-
wich time, we end as 100 go that we
must frequently put the hands on to
keep pace with local time. The
amount is one hour for every fifteen
degrees of -longitude. Thus, when we
bevel gone 180 degree, or half -way
round th world, the difference betwen
local time and Greenwich time is
twelve hours. Going westwards, of
course, the reverse le the case; all.
watches must be put back.
When, therefore, we approach the
1801.11 meridan from either side, in one
ease the time is twelve hours fast, while
in the otk'er ease It la twelve hours
Slow on Greenwlcb, The difference is
on complete day, so that If it happens
to be noon, Wednesday, east of the
line, it is noon, Thursday, went of it,
The 180th Meriden is therefore called
the date line.
Theoretically, the date line should
run directly north. and south. This Is
only possible in the open sea.. When
the line approaches land It makes a
detour to avoid 1t: This holds good In
the case of islands, where the line
winds in and out in the most puzzling
way, • The reason is . that inconveni-
ences arise when the line passes too
nor inhabited areas, Oriminals, for
instance, could frame the most as-
tonishing alibis merely by crossing
the date line,

Canada's
Asbestos Comes
from Quebec. r.
From email beginnings about. 1850
Canada's asbestos industry has grown
steadily until at the present time, ex-
clusive of fuels and structural ma-
terials, it is in point of value the most
important of her non-metallic mineral
products. The value of the shipments
of asbestos ot all grades in Canada in
1924 amounted to nearly six and three-
quarter millions of dol1Ors,
Canadian asbestos, which ig the ser-
pentine, of chrysotile variety, ail comes
from the Eastern Townships, In Que-
bec, the principal mines being in the
townships of Broughton, Thetford, Ire-
land, and Coleraine. Quite recently a
little asbestos has been produced from
developmnt work on a deposit in De-
loro township, close to the Porcupine
gold -fields of northern Ontario.
The asbestos is marketed :as band-
cobbed, long -fibre crude; and milled
fibre. The proportion of crude 'fibre
to milled asbestos that can be pro-
duced from the'Canadaian mineral is
small, but the crude is by far the more
valuable product. Most of the output
is exported in the unmanufactured con-
dition, chiefly to the United States, but
there are now several plants for the
manufacture of asbestos goods In Can-
ada and there will probably be a grad-
uall diminution in the proportion of
the output for manufacture abroad.
The long fibre is spun Into thread or
yarn that can be woven or braided into
cloth' rope, tape, and other forms and

From its earliest days up to a few
Years ago the growth of the Canadian
asbestos Industry had been remark-
ably steady and at a normal, healthy
gate. But, between 1917 and 1920,
prices advanced so rapidly that Crude
No. 1 sold as high as $3,000 per short
ton. In 1920, the output of all grades
reached 200,000 short tons `valued at
nearly $15,000,000. A slump in prices
in 1921 caused production to fail off
more than 100,000 short tons in quan-
tity and nearly $10,000,000 in value. In
1923,231,482 sheet tons of all grades
wore produced but the value was only
a little over half that of the 1920 out-
put; in 1924 the production was some.
225,744 short tons valued at $6,710,880.
Tho average.price of Crude No. 1 is
now about 5412 per ten, or twice Its
pre-war value.
The sharp decline in prices, aggra-
vete& by price cutting, and severe eom•
petition from South Africaen the most
profitable market, that for long -fibre
spinning grades, has caused serious
dislocation in the Canadian asbestos
industry. At the present time a mer-
ger of the most important operating
companies is being negotiated, in or-
der that the Canadian opern`tors may
be better able to successfully meet In-
creasing foreign eonnpetition.

Music as Medicine.
A medical journal has recently an-
nounced the results of some experi-
ments made to ascertain: the relation
of music and nnedicine.
One curious piece of news obtained
is that if a lively air is played on a
harp or mandolin, a man's tired mus-
cces regain their original l vigor
. The
music of a .violdncello, on the other
hand, has a precigely opposite effect,
in temporarily lessening the usual
strength and vitality of the bearer.
nI nervous and impressionable peo-
ple, sad music in a minor key, such as
Chopin's "Funeral ](larch," actually
weakens the pulse and snakes the beat-
ing of the heart feeble and more irre-
gular.'
Ari Amricau doctor stated not long
ago that alinost every mental trouble
could be cured by suitable selections
of classical music regularly adminis-
tered. Jealousy, grief, overwork, homi-
cidal mania, nervous breakdown, all
had their corresponding air.

Surnames and Their Origin

Racial Origin—English and German.
Source -An occupation. •
Here is another group of Smith
•navies, some of which are widespread
and some of which are uncommon.
From the tact that the German came
of Goldsmidt, or Goldschmld, is ex-
actly the parallel of the English Gold-
smith, there are many who assume
that the latter is merely a translation
of the German name. It is true that
in a greet many cases, particularly on
this continent, whore a very large pro-
pOrtioll of the population is" of German
descent, the German form has been
changed to the English. but the name
has an ibuglish origin as well. The
ea1n0 holds true of Silversmith.
Botlt of these navies are to be found
in the medieval tax lists and records
of England, together with such names
as Nasmyth, Greeusniith and brown -
smith. In those days they were nearly
always spelled. with a "y" and bore a

CHICHESTER.
Racial Origin—English. "
Source—A locality.
The use of Chichester as' a family
name is et matter easily and obviously
explained, In its first use as such it
was descriptive of the locality in which
the individual lived. There is a place
of this name in England, and naturally
persons migrating from Chichester to
other sections came to be known in
their new neighborhoods as "John of
Chichester," or "Robert of Chichester,"
as the case alight be.
Then, in the course `of time, neigh-
bors would come to regard the name es
merely distinguishing the individual,
and : its meaning as indicating the

Years before would not be foremost in

equivalent in the Norman tongue,
would be dropped, and the individual

bination of the Saxon given name of
"Cissa," and the Latin word "CaStrunl,"

sand have since been slaughtered for
commercial purposee, and this spring
there were about: eight thousand in
the park. The herd has now reached
a point where there is a substantial
eurplua over and above the average
forage capacity of the park. That sur-
plus this year is to be disposed of by
sending the animals to the Wood Buf-
falo park near Fort Smith, on the
borders of Alberta and the Northwest
Territories. The first weekly ship-
ments have begun and will continue at
the rate of two hundred animals par
week until a total of about two thous-
and animals• have been transported.
The buffalo are loaded on railway cars
at Wainwright and shipped tO Water-
ways, Alberta. Here they are trans-
ferred to scowe, which are towed down
the Athabaska and Slave rivers to the
Wood Buffalo park, where the herd
will be under the care of the North
West Territories and Yukon Branch.
The Wood Buffalo park or reserve is.
an unfenced area of ten thousand five
hundred square miles, In which a herd
of wild buffalo has ranged and thriven
for many years.
Tile experiment is one of great mo-
ment, both as regards the conservation
of buffalo and as to economic and food
conditions in the north country.

First Railway Signal.
Railway signals were the invention
of a railway policeman. At one time
the police had to stand on point duty,
directing traffic by hand. One who
found the job very monotonous invent-
ed a crossed stick arrangement con-
trolled by a string. When he pulled
the string the crossed sticks fell to a
horizontal position, which was an in-
timation that the engine driver might
proceed. The idea caught on and led
to the establishment of the present
signalling arrangements.
The idea of printed tickets came
front the resourceful brain of an over
-
work d booking clerk in England. Like
hundreds of his colleagues, he sat all
day at the head of a long queue of in-
tending passengers, each of whom
spelled out name, address, and destina-
tion., to be writcn on a slip of paper..
Such a waste of time and energy dis-
gusted him, and one day he took tot
pieces an old boot -repairing machine,
making from it a primitive ticket -
printing apparatus, which was patunt•
ed and let out to various railway com-
panies on a commission basis.

EXPRENCE
Read How She Found Help
in Lydia E. Pinkhain's
Vegetable Compound
Arnprior, Ontario.—"I must write
and tell you my experience with your
medicine. I was working at the factory
foe three years and became so run-down
that d used to take weak spells and
would be at home at least one day each
week. I was treated by the doctors for
anemia, but it didn't seem to dome any
good. I was told to take a rest, but was
unable to, and kept on getting worse,
I was troubled mostly with my periods.
I would sometimes pass three months,
and when it came it would last around
two weeks, and Iwoald have suehpains at
times in my -right side that I could hardly
walk. I am only 19 years of age and
weigh 118 pounds now, and before tak-
ing the Vegetable Compound I was only
108 pounds. I eves sickly for two years
and some of my friends told me about
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound' and when T had taken a bottle of
it I felt a change. My mother has been
taking 4 for a different ailment and has
found it very satisfactory. I am willing
to tell friends about the medicine and
to answer letters asking about 11,"--'
