He often said that if he had not been discouraged in infancy he could Have become ambidex- trous. It had been perfectly na- tural for him to handle his apoon with his left hand, but his mother had discouraged it. After Jimmy's father had experi- mented a little with the third finger of his left hand he remembered that he had another one. Pretty soon be said, "It is queer, but with a little 'practice--" "I know a lot of other things you can't do," said Jimmy, with calm directness, He dashed into the house, and when he cams oat he had several matches, an egg and a towel. "Now I" he said, putting the matches and towel on a chair, and handing his father the egg. "Now," repeated Jimmy, "put the egg between your two hands lengthwise and try to crush it." The egg, still intact, was soon in Jimmy's pooket, and the towel was over his father's eyes, "Now," he eaici, "keep perfectly still for five minutes. "That's easy," said his father. "You moved your 'lips," said Jammy, unwinding the towel and passing his father a match. "Put the match across the nail of your second finger,' he com- manded. "Now break it with the first and third fingers of the same hand." When the match, also unbroken, had joined the egg in Jimmy's pock- et Jimmy told his father to sit square into his c'hair, as far back as he could and straight up.

What the C. P. R. Is Doing for Farmers in the West. The 0. P. R. "better farming" special trains, operated in connec- tion with the Manitoba Govern- ment, went on duty this month in the interests of intelligent and sci- entific farming in the West. These trains will contain specimens of noxious weeds, most troublesome in the province, and lectures will be given to teach the effectual meth- ods of eradication. There will be models of weed seeds, so that iden- tification will be easy ; Manitoba birds, with instructions as to their habits, whether destructive or bene- ficial; injurious insects will be illus- trated on the moving filers; a car with cattle, sheep and hogs, in con- nection with which lectures will be given to young men, especially;. a car devoted to home economics for women,. where lady demonstrators will teach nursing, sewing, and so forth. To show how thorough and real and close this instruction is meant to be by the Canadian Paci- fic and the Government, it may be stated that field crops and minia- ture lay-outsof farm buildings will be shown in two cars for the pur- pose—while instruction will be giv- en as to the protection of such build- ings. Saskatchewan is in need of mixed farming, and there will be special features on bwh large care, which will be devoted to stock. On the Saskatchewan train, lecturers will accompany; and instruction will be given in everything practi- cally appertaining to the life of the farm. This idea is intended, of course, obiefly•for the new settlers, who may have but a hazy idea of farming. The object both of the company and the .Government is that the people should fawn to the 'hest of their knowledge and ability, It as to extract from the soil what nq,ttu'e is ready to give, if Rho be properly cppcxej In carrying out this idea filo OWIS41 P-04111° Ia willing to spend mondy, knowid g that good farming anywhere in the Vorbll-west will mean, ulti,netely,.

The best way to guard against it is to give 'the baby an eccasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets never fail to regulate the bowels and sweeten the stofnacth, thus preventing ch.al- er'a Wanton), diarrhoea, dysentry and all other stomach and bowel complaints, They are sold by Medicine dealers or tby mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Meclicine Co., Brockville, Ont. .p IRELAND FEEDS THE BRITISH. Exports Moro Meat to England Than Any Other Nation. Under the head of "Ireland, the Provisioner of Britain," the Irish Industrial Journal gives an inter- esting analysis on the subject of the food supply of the Islands. This is little understood, for the import- ance of Ireland ase. provider has not been adequately recognized ev- en by Irishmen themselves, and the methods of organization, transport- ation marketing and distribution remain unadvanoed and unimprov- ed, despite the great increase in the trade. Yet Ireland has a wider range of ;agricultural products than any other country supplying the British markets. In mea,b Ireland leads all other countries for value of export to Great Britain.. The value of Irish meat of a•11 kinds exported to and retained for consumption in Great Britain in 1912 was $65,000,000, and was greater than the value from any other country. It is encourag- ing to read that Ireland is rapidly increasing her export of goods for consumption. In 1904, when re- cords were first kept, -Ireland's ex- ports of food and drink amounted to $80,000,000. In 1912 they had ad- vanced to $115,000,000. This shows an improvement of nearly 50 per cent in the short space of eight years. It is apparent from these figures that the development of Irish trade is mainly a question of sympathe- tic production, organized marketing improved transportation, handling, and advertisement. On the whole the future of Ireland is bright anc promising, and the next ten years should see the Green Isle one of the most prosperous and progres- sive countries of Europe. IKITCHENER'S STORY. "East and West Do Occasionally Meet, He Said. "There was a young woman, a pronounced brunette," said Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, "who came out to Cape Town disguised as a lady nurse, her object being to keep her eye on her husband who held a billet under General Forreatier- Walker at the base. Later on he was unfortunately sent to the front, where still more unfortunately, he was forthwith picked off by a wan- dering Masser bullet. The widow was such a victim to the luxury of unrestrained grief that ib was ob- served her raven locks turned am- ber in a single night. Thus," ad- ded his Lordship with a malicious grin, "East and West do occasion- ally meet. The stricken widow on the Ganges puts ashes on her head as an indication of her bereavement and the widow from the banks of the Thames applied peroxide of hy- drogen as an advertisement of her uncontrollable sorrow." .>� PRIZE FOOD.

Bellef That Their Ills May Be Cured By Cannibalism. Cannibalism in Cuba sounds pretty strong, but it exists hero just as truly as it does In darkest Africa, says the Havana Post. Cannibalism means lire eating of 1110050 flesh by other human. beings, and the voodoos in - Cuba do juat that, us the case of the six.year- old boy killed at Minas Camaguey is evidence, The cannibals of Cuba do not place their victims on a spit and cook them barbecue fashion or roast them like turkeys in great pans, as they do In Af. rico, but they do eat the hearts of their victims if they get the opportunity, as the evidence brought out In the Cama- guey trial demonstrates. This evi- dence shows that the voodoo woman Mercedes Redo told Juan Pino, the fa- ther of the small negro boy whom he instructed how to kill the white boy, that the whites had never done any- thing for him, that he was bowed and bunt now with rheumatism from carry- ing ammunition during the revolution, and the whites had reaped all the bene- fitthing of hieinorand bad given him no- retwurn. "There is only one thing that will cure you," this black female fiend told the old man, "and that is the heart of a white child. Bat of the heart of a white child and you will be cured." The Recto woman wanted the blood of the little victim, too, because she thought it would cure her of tubercu- losis, and she told Pino to get the heart for himself. He then instructed his son how to kill. IIe told him that "from the jugular vein you eau get the ,most blood," and showed him where it Tras, The little negro then invited the white boy to go with him and eat man- goes. He told the judge how he had attacked his victim and for fear he might escape had first out off his legs. He then cut the jugular vein so he could get the blood for the Redo wo- man and then tried to get out the heart so his father could eat it. This horrible practice is due to the densest ignorance. These voodoos do not Trill from passion or for money, but because they are so ignorant that they think it will do them good to get the blood or the heart of a white child. Such ignorance reflects no credit on Cuba. There are at most only a few thousands of these voodoos or canni- bals in Cuba, and if foreign mission- aries have been able to convert the savage tribes of Africa from their can- nibalism, surely the government ought to be able to do the same here. Will Quickly Cure Any Sour Stomach Relieves Fullness After Meals. "When I was working around the farm last winter, I had an attack of in- flammation," writes Mr. B. P. Dawkins, of Port Richmond. "I was weak for a long time, but well enough to work un- til spring. But something went wrong with my bowels, for I had to use salts or physic all the tune. My stomach kept sour, and always after eating there was pain and fullness, and all the symptoms of intestinal indigestion. Nothing helped me until I used Dr, Hamilton's Pills. Instead of hurting, like other pills, they anted very mildly, and seemed to heal the bowels. I did not require large doses to get results with Dr. Hamilton's Pills, and feel so glad that I have found a mild yet cer- tain remedy. To -day I am well—no pain, no sour stomach, a good appetite, able to digest anything. This is a whole lot of good for one medicine to do, and I can say Dr. Hamilton's Pills are the best pills, and my letter, I am sure, proves it."

Southport Lady Left L'Si,000 for Use of the Crown. Southport's (England) intestate spinster, Miss Amanda Cooper, has provided the crown with oneof its greatest windfalls. Her fortune of £51,000 will bo paid to the trea- sury "for use of the king." The phrase is no empty form of words, says the Sheffield Telegraph, for his majesty does have actual control over all estates which re- vert to the crown in consequence of their owners dying without re- latives. I£ these crown windfalls are estimated over a long course of years it will be found that the Southport amount has • several times been exceeded. On two occasions the treasury has raked in estates of no less than £200,000—one from a Cheltenham man in 1881, the other from a lunatic in 1884. In recent years the most remark- able instance: of the crown's luck was £150,000 in 1905, from the es- tate of the 'romantic recluse of Folkestone, Captain George Lind- say Anthony Wilson, who changed !tie name, cut himself adrift from the world, and allowed his posses cions to take core of themselves. During 1013, ninety-seven es- tates were reported to the $ring's and lord treasurer's remembrancer as having fallen to the crown in Scotland, among them being that of Dean William Hatt of Dundee. Tho amount received in respect of estates during the year was £13,055. Receipts on aoeount of treasure trove were £12 17s, 6d. g' "Willie," remarked Mr, S,l,iIRon, "didn't you go to the trunkrnakers yesterday and tell him to send round the trunk I ordered1" Willie —"'Yes," Mr, Slimon-•!°Well dere is the trunk, but no strap," "Willie —"Yes, father, I know' I told him I thought you hadn't better= have any. strap." Do Long Breaths hurt ? DANGEROUS PLEURISY ALWAYS BEGINS THIS WAY. Speediest Cure Is Nervlllne. Ouch, that stab -like pain in the side is like a hot knife blade In the ribs! Probably got overheated ---cooled too fast --now there is congestion, tight- ness, such soreness you mit draw a long breath. This is the beginning of Pleurisy, Pleurisy is far too serious to neglect a single instant. Quickest relief will come from a vig- orous rubbing with Nervilino. This trusty old pain reliever will flx you up In no tinge—will take away the conges- tion—make you well just as it did Mr, Samuel St. Johns, of Stamford, who says:—"In running to catch a train last week I became nitwit overheated. 1 put up the train window and rode that way in order to get cooled off. In an hour MY side was so full of pain and my breathing hurt so much that I thought I had pneumonia, I always carry Nervlllne in my grip, and at des- tination I rubbed my side thoroughly three times. The warm penetrating effect was soon noticeable and I quick- ly got relief. Nervilino, I consider, saved me from a serious illness." Any sort of a cold can be quickly broken up with Nerviline, which is a marvel for reducing Inflammation, for relieving congestion In the throat and chest, for curing stitch in the side, lumbago, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu- matism.

Eugene Fiset Was Mao of War From Boyhood. The Deputy Minister of Militia is "a man of war from his youth up." If long service is any justification for promotion in the militia, he is abundantly qualified. He went in- to camp with his regiment at the age of ten. He comes of a mil- itary father. He is the son of Hon. S. B. R. Fleet, of the Canadian Senate. His father was Lieut.-Ool- onel of the 89th Regiment of Ili- mouski, and he took his son with him to camp at the age of ten. Young Eugene Fiset went as a bu- gler, and his first taste of military life decided his fate. He los caught with the military spirit. 'He loved the life he stayed with it. At six- teen he was provisional second. lieu- tenant in his father's regiment; in five years he was lieutenant; and throe years after that he was major. He is now full Colonel in the per- manent force of the Dominion, and has qualified for the rank of Sur- geon -General. Colonel Eugene Fiset, D.S.O,, has an active service record, of which no soldier need be ashamed. He went out to South Africa with the first Canadian contingent; and Col Eugene Fiset,, D.S.O. he was thrice mentioned in the des- patches for bravery under fire. Col- onel Fiset be it known, is not only a military man; he is also a, sur- geon; and it was as a succorer of the wounded that he won his honors on the veldt. The first occasion on which he was mentioned in the despatches was the first day at Paardeburg. The incident it thus told in the official report sent home by Colonel Otter : "The company stretcher bearers exhibited great pluck, and five of them were among the wounded; three were wounded in carrying Capt. Arnold from the firing line, the stretcher on which ho was be- ing made a special object el atten- tion by the Boer marksmen. In connection with this incident I must note the courage displayed by Sur - Capt Fiset, who, when the stret- cher on which Capt. Arnold was being brought to the rear was stopped a short distance from the firing line by the wounding of one of the bearers, went forward and attended to Capt. Arnold, and subsequently assisted as bearer in bringing him to the rear. Ca,pt Pied also attended to many of the wounded under fire during the day," Gazetted as Major. For this act of bravery, Capt. Filet was given promotion on the field of battle, anti: on March 1, 1000, only a few days after Cronje turrenderod, he was gazetted as, Major of the Army Medioal Service in the Imperial Army, the rank �vllioll 110 held throughout the rest of ,the campaign, He Played in /ATEY BUSTERS F{[EFSELY ITFI?

South Africa till the war was over and returned to England with Col- onel Otter. He was on the field in every important action in which the Canadians participated, includ- ing Popular Grove,, Dreifontein, Hout Nek, and Zand River ; and' for his bravery at Paardeburg and in these other engagements he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, which was bestowed upon him by Earl Minto on Paardeberg Day, 1903. Colonel Fiset inherited not only a love for the army, he inherited also a love for the science of Aescula- pius. His father had been a militia surgeon before him ; and the young man followed enthusiastically in the parental footsteps. He obtain- ed his early education at Rimouski College, and thence went on to Laval University, where he gradu- ated in 1898 at the age of twenty- two, with the title of Bachelor of Medicine. It was as a medical man that he served throughout the South African campaign, and on his way back to the Dominion he took spec- ial courses in London and Paris in the treatment of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He is thus well quali- fied to serve bis country in a civil career as well as in the militia. Appointed by Special Act. The present organization of the medical service of the Canadian militia bears the impress of Colonel Fiset's abilities. Soon after his re- turn from South. Africa he became Staff Ajutaut for the Medioal Ser- vice, and in 1903 he was appointed Director -General of the Medical Service, and the service was put on its present basis under his super- vision. He entered upon these du- ties with the rank of Lieut. -Colonel but a year later became full Col- onel of the Permanent Army Medi- cal Corps. He still holds this rank although he has been seconded for duty on the civil side of the militia, and on July 23, 1913, he became qualified by service for the rank of Surgeon - G,eneral, which corres- ponds to Major-General among the fighting men.

A window was left open and it was amusing for the next fortnight watching them busily occupied in supplying the nestlings, first with flies and insects andlaterwith worms, while butter stolen from the table was an irrasistable luxury. Four weeks from .the date when the robin began to sit, the feedglings were out of the nest, and after twenty-four hours in the house they were able to fly to shelter out-of- doors, and were soon lost to sight. .Isn't This Romantic ?

Tragic though their intentions ap- parently were, a married couple named Blin have caused amusement to the townfolk of Bar -sur -Aube, France, by the results of their re- peated attempts to commit„suicide. Blin started by trying to hang himself in the cellar, but the rope was not strong enough and he was deposited on the floor, Mme Blin, deeply affected' by her lrusbaud'sact proceeded to do likewise, with a similar result.
