The Brussels Post, 1912-7-4, Page 6aaaaa Buying Bonds on the Instalment Plan You may become a bond- holder under our Period- ical Payment Plan in precisely the same man- ner that you become a savings bank depositor - by putting aside money as you can spare it. Under this plan you may purchase from us the Bond or Bonds that most strongly appeal to you as an investment suited to your purposes, by mak- ing a small initial pay- ment and paying the remainder in monthly instalments to suit your income. In this manner you become a bondholder at once without having to save the face value of the Bonds you want to purchase—and you receive the interest on the Bonds while paying for them. We should be glad to submit a list of leading Canadian investment securities which yield from 6% to over 8%, which may be purchased on this Periodical Payment Plan. DOMINION BOND COMPANY, Limited TORONTO MONTREAL OTTAWA LONDON,ENG. CURIOSITIES OF PAIN. Pain sometimes behaves in a cur- ious fashion. There was a soldier in. .London, after the Boer War, who complained of excruciating neuralgic pains in his right foot. This very much amused his friend for be had lost his right leg, a both leg and foot were long hurl near Ladysmith. The explanation was, that th pain happened to be in the trun of those nerves, which had se branches to the foot. Sometimes patient comes to a doctor complain- ing of pain in the knee, and he is greaj;ly surprised when the doctor tells him that the site of the affec- tion is not the knee, bat the hip. We are all familiar with the pain under the shoulder -blade which -,comes from an afflicted liver. The stomach, too, can produce pain in many parts of the body. A disordered stomach will give us pain as far away as the head, and, when one gets a cramp in his toe, it is often due to acidity el the stom- ach. Swallow a pinch of soda, and the cramp will disappear. An aching tooth will produce neuralgic pains in the face, and very often a violent pain at the back of the head is due to the far -away `'-,w kidneys, which themselves may suf- fer no pain at the time. an 1YIAKIMi- SAFE B1ESTi'v1ETSJ Brow One Should Invest to Secure Greatest Proportion of Safety There is No Investment Absolutely Safe Under All Conceivable Conditions—Care- ful Distribution of Capital Lessens the Risk in Proportion to Number of Invest- ments.

Is there. any investment absolutely with- out risk? To answer this question one must know exactly what is meant by risk. I think it is cafe to say that for the man who may want to realize on hie 1n - vestments in a hurry there is no abso- lutely safe investment.

He buys Winnipeg bowie, which is the centre of the grain trade, and those of Yorkton, the centre of a farming dis- trict. Then be shifts bask to Ontario cities and towns and so he spreads his risk over a multitude of different and di. vergent interests. Perhaps, to offset his bonds he buys a few mortgages, and to increase his tuoome he takes on some in. dustrial bonds. But the wise investor is careful to distribute his investments no` only over a number of different seeui- tiee, but geographically over a wide stretch of territory, avoiding too heavy bonds of one class. Then, no matter what happens, be cannot Ione everything. A few years ago the town of Campbell - ton, N. B„ was completely wiped out by ne.

If it were generally known that there is no trouble to rid a house, barn or any building of, rats and mice by the use of Gillett's Lye, it is doubtful if the article could be made as fast as it would bo used for this purpose alone. Tho pro- cess connected with using it is very simple, the plan being to sprinkle a little of the article in and around the holes made by these pests in floors, partitions, etc. In addition to this it is well to use a thin piece of board about 'a foot square, or even smaller, and make a complete circle of the lye on the board about a quarter of an inch deep, and inside of the circle place some .moat or cheese. In endeav- oring to get at the bait the feet of the rats and mice will be burned, and the whole colony, whether large or small, will" immediately disappear from the premises. The plan is worth trying, but the good kind—Gillett's Lye—should be procured. Refuse the many cheap imitations and substitutes. HOW THEY MARE TEA. Scarcely Two Nations Prepare It In the Same Way. In England, France and Germany tea is made in much the same pleb- eian way, but in other countries the method of enjoying the cup which cheers is a more picturesque crere- mony. Inhf C ria for example, alar e artistic cup is set in a brass or a- ver holder, and in this cup the tea is placed and covered with boiling water, A little saucer which just fits it is placed inside the cup to keep in the steam and flavor of the tea. When it is drawn it is poured from the big cup into dainty little ones no bigger than an eggshell. The method followed in Japan is almost -similar. Tea making in Russia is a simple process, involving merely the use of a samovar and a slice of lemon or of lime, In Java tea is served in broad, flat cups and flavored with Batavia arrack, and in Formosa it is steeped with tea flowers and one or two orange flowers. For their tea drinking the Uru- guayans employ silver tubes, each of which has at the end a ball -like strainer, known as a bomba or horn- bills,. In Martinique q e an aromatic tea is used and a peculiaruli ai liquor mo de by the monks and by the old Frenoh housewives is added. PERSONALITIES.

Cases Where Needles Have Been In People's Bodies for Many Years. If an ordinary needle, or a' por- tion of it, runs into the hand or any other part of the body, it displays a strange propensity to start off on whattravel, may prove a long course of Some years ago a lady called up- on a surgeon, stating that a part of a needle had broken in the first joint of her left thumb. The sur- geon's attempts to extract the nee- dle being ineffectual, he advised her to let it alone, About a year after- wards he was again visited by the lady, who stated that' a few days previously she had fele a pricking sensation in the right forefinger, and that on breaking the skin she had without difficulty extracted the portion of the lose needle. The nee- dle had in this case travelled from the left thumb along the arm, across the chest to the right arm, and down the latter to the finger, whence it was extracted. HAT PIN CASE. Another well-autltentioated case is the following. A man having been stabbed in the back of the right ,shoulder with a hatpin, the blow inflicted caused the pin to brealr. Only the head and upper part of the pin could subsequently be found, but as the man suffered no inconvenience from the injury, he thought no more about it. Some time afterwards he was troubled with pain in the right shoulder, and this being supposed to be ceased by rheumatism he was treated accor- dingly. The treatment brought no relief, but in several weeks the pain passed away apparently with- out any cause. Some time after this he observed a long, hard sub- stance under the skin on the lower part of the breastbone, and he be- thought himself of the pin that had been run into his shoulder some twelve months previously. A sur- geon being called in, n ho soon ex- tracted the foreign body, and found it to be a portion of the pin 2% inches in length. SOMETIMES STATIONERY. But needles do not always travel when they enter the body. Some- times they remain in a fixed posi- tion—namely, at that spot where they originally entered, A young girl being admitted to a country in- firmary stated that four years pre- viously, while kneeling on a hearth - rug, a needle had run into her right knee, A careful examination was made, but the surgeons failed to de- tect any indication of the presence of a foreign body. The girl, how- ever, was positive in Iter assertion that she could feel the point of the needle, and that upon pressure it caused her pain in a particular spot, PROVED IT THERE, This statement induced the sue - n ge4 to melte an incision sari over o the tissues of the right knee, but with no result therefrom. Nothing could be felt or seen. A deeper incision (under an anaesthetic) was made, but still without result. The tissues wore now divided still further, and, at last, lying .almost upon the cap- sule of the joint, the needle was discovered and, with some difficulty extracted. wound healed quick- ly, and in the course of a few days the girl was quite well. Nowadays, however, such opera- tions are rarely needed, for by means of the X-ray photography the position of travelling needles or any other foreign substance in the hu- man body can be immediately as- certained and the offender extract- ed, SENTINELS OF THE SEA. How the Men Are Employed Aboard a Lightship. A faint splash of light on a dark waste of waters; the wash of the sea against the. ship's side ; the creak of clockwork; the measured footfall of the watch on the deck; the barely - heard throb al a distant steamer, or the near loom of ghostly sails passing in the night; and, thruugh a pall of shilling mist, the boom of the foghorn hurling its note of warning into the far-off silences. Such, in the long night hours, is one of the many lightships which keep keen vigil around our 'coasts— the sentinels of the sea, the protec- tors of those who go out on the deep waters, says London Answers, To understgnd the spell of the life, let us step aboard a lightship. No eoone•r are we on the deck than we feel at home. Spacious and cosy, one can picture happy hours spent in this draft, remote from the stress of shore life. Thera are even plants end flowers to give a pictur- esque touch of the domestic life. And the men who make their house here? They are only eight all told —it may be only six—a master and his nate, three sailoi'men, and three lamplighters; and of this small but sufficient crew only five are on duty—tile remaining throe are taking a well-earned rest ashore, turn and turn about. No long -faced hermits are these guardians of our lightship; cheery men, all of them, .and hospitable, as heeomes a sailor, though they roam no seas. "Dull?" said the mate of the Nor - ship 4;o the man on avisit, "Why," we've no time to be dull! No time for grizzling here!" And this isthe truth. From rising to •sleeping no moment need be un- occupied. The lantern alone keeps two of the five constantly busy. At sunset the lamps are lit, and the lantern is hoisted to its eminence, a few feet below the ball of the mast; then the ciookwork is started which seta it revolving. All through the night, g at frequent intervals, a 'gong sounds the signal for the la- borious re-wincling, and woo betide the watchman who is deaf to the signal, 'or does not keep an eye on his revolving light, At sunrise the lantern is lowered, and a busy hour or more of cleaning follows, with rag and leather and cans of oil, until each reflector al- most blinds one with its glitter. There is the foghorn to keep boom. - nag every two minutes by strenuous work with a foot -pedal whenever the mist -clouds roll up. Eyes must be kept ever on the alert night and day, the watchers ready at any instant to send a warn- ing signal by gun or flag. It may be a voasel heading for a shoal; a ship in distress; an imminent col- lision which only the promptest ac- tion can avert. And every happen- ing cal -night or day must be care- fully noted by the master in his log. But, of course, it is not all work. There are hours of leisure for those off duty, And there Y e e is always the prospect o.e that month on shore, which comes round with sudh wel- come frequency, and which lends wings to the days aboard, ' No; W ill t a cheerful spirit, plenty of work and play, good pay, and a pension to look forward to, the life of a ligh.tshipman is far from being undesirable, even in the isolation of a foggy night amid the lona webers of the sea, R• A loafer is an animal that feeds on a workers' time.
