In answer to our inquiry: elle

Newspaper advertleemente
have en irresistible feecination
for me. Sometimes 1 know 1
shouldn't take the time to read
them—but I always do. Of
course, 1 don't mean that_I al-
ways read them ALL, but 1 cer-
tainly read some every day. I
even read the men's ads„There
is a certain satisfaction In sur-
prising ono's husband with
up-to-date information on things
only men are ,supposed to be
Interested in,
1 used to have a prejudice
against Life Insurance until i
read the advertisements. 1 •
thought the premiums were too
much for my husband .to pay,
but en advertisement 1 read
ohanged my opinion about that
at once. And I got my husband
to make a will and appoint e
Trust Company as his executor
because of an advertisement 1
read about I't, which set me
thinking.
But, of course, the advertise-
ments that interest me most
are those of domestic things.
Whenever I order groceries 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 1 don't
knoW the names of others how
cin r tell? Goode that are 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 1 am buying things
for my toilet I always buy the
well-known things, although
salesgirls try to sell me others
sgmetimes. 1 never Jet -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,
onsets, gloves and things like
that. - So there must be some-
thing in a name after all. The
way 1 feel about it Is that no
business man would spend a lot
of money to advertise a poor,
article; therefore, those things
that are ad'ortised 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 !oast you know what
you should pay for them—the
makers tell you generally In
their advertisements.
As for the advertisements of
the stores, some of them are
notas attractive as many of
the more general advertise-
ments, but I just couldn't shop
without them. You see, 1 am
like many other women. I have
a young family, and I cannot
get out too often during the
day. But 1 read the store ad-
vertisements regularly, and by
doing so know Just what Is be-
ing sold, and I can always tele-
phone my order If 1 can't go
out conveniently that day.
That, I think, Is the great value
of advertisements to women to
the home. They do keep one
well informed. Don't you think
so?

Plants That Feel Pain.

as there le a circulation of the blood in

too, that plants are capable of move-

Title movement shows itself in dif-
ferent ways. The simplest teem is
seen is those fiowene which follow the

While the Scout movement recog-
nized the need of enforcing discipline
and teaching boys the habit et obedi-
ence to these In commend, the point is
kept in mind by the camp director and
the Scoutmasters that the boys are
there mainly to learn Scouting and not
for undergoing harsh discipline. The
fact that those who have once been
to camp eagerly made preparation for
returning is an indication that the
lines' of conduct are not se stringent
as, to prohibit the enjoyment of all nor-

The morning games are restricted

KING GEORGE V. IS
A BORN SPORTSMAN
St1OOT NC, Aiktiii FISHING
FAVORITE PA j' Touts,
His Majesty Spends His Hap,
Oast. Holidays oda Scottish
'Moel'n:s and Windsor Forest.
"A holiclay at 1i'ome ie good enough
for met" King George ono declared to
a friend who staked him if a Continent-
al..boleday did not attract ]lint, as It
attreoteel his father. "I prur end all
the pleasure and, 'eecr'e hien I want,"
he added, "without crosdng the sea,"
If ever a sovereignwas a .born
sportsman it le surely ICiing George;
and nowhere can he enipy the sports
he leees 00 freely as in his own • king -
done. He was it child •Of seven when
he lauded his, ,flirt lisit in. Scottish'
waters; andthere-was little he Mena
know abqut a hoose ey the time he
denoted Ills middle's uniform.
And ener sinoe these early days• he
has been- perfecting himself hi his
favorite pltstItnee, until today he has
few super:Mrs in fis'hiug and specking,
and ho can more than hold his own
with meatmen at a wide range of
sports, 1nom lioreeuianship and hunt-
ing to tennis and bliitardes
Shooting Big Game.
Time was., too, when he was e. cyC-
list of such exceptional speed that Mr.
E, M. Mayes, his teacher, once de -
Mitred, "If he, heel cared to compete,
he might have had a good look -In at
the English championship." -
His Mejeety's' ideal holiday, how-
ever, is one spent with a gun or a fish•
ingrod. In tris younger days he as-
tonished the world by his shill and
daring as a big -game hunter. I3e shot
many a tiger. in Nepaui, when a false
aini, meant almost certain death; and
once he brought down a cliarging.ele-
phent in Ceylon within a dozen paces
of his smoking rifle. But his supreme
feat of marksmtns'hip was, when once
fie killed' five magnificent stags with
half a dozen shots in the Forest of
Mar.
To -day he spends many of his hap-
piest holiday -home with his guns on
the moors of Scotland or in the Royal
preserves' at Windsor and Sandring-
ham, wlhere he has performed some
truly amazing feats. Thus on one oc-
casion, when shooting wJth Lord
Iveagh, he brought down three widely-
ecattered and high -flying pheasants
and a hare with four successive shots,
On another occasion be accounted for
32 grouse in. 1e'ss than 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 blends, he loves to spend long,
busy days among the birds, rising at
five in the morning, and shooting until
dusk. Ile is a master of woodclatt,
arranges his field with cdnsi,mmate
skill, and always chooses' the most dif-
ficult stabion for hiins'olf. Row greet'
the slaughter is may be gauged by,
the fad- that in will gle day ten: grins
once killed 2,335 head., including 1,275
pheasants.
But' Ring George's guns have very
formidable rivals in his fishing rods.
Of his skill and of his' wonderful
catches, indeed, remarkable 'Aeries
are told; while Iiia pattence is phen-
omenal. Once, for example, he fished
for a whole week without catching a
eolitary salmon; but his temper and
patience remained unruffled.
He declared he was "enjoying him-
self immensely"; and when on the
eighth day he landed four beauties,
scaling together over sixty pounds, he
was ae delighted as' a boy.
As, a caster are has few if any superi-
ors; and his enthusiasm is such that
once, when a new form of tackle was
brought. to St. James' Palace for in-
spection, he immediately left the'
Levee which was in progress to test
and admire R.
His Majesty as an Angler.
Nearly fifty years have gone since
he felt the thrill of drawing his first
fish (with John Brown's assistance)
from the waters of Abargeldie. Ever
Mime then, he declares, many ands!
happiest holiday hours have been
spent, rod in hand, by the pools. of the
Dee. Here he loves to escape from
the ceremonial of Court life for a de-
lightful week or 'two, with some favor-
ite companion, usually an equerry,
with whom he leads the simple life in
au unpretentious cottage,
At about ten o'clock the, two fisher -
urea sally forth with their rods, tackle,
and baekets for a long, happy day in
the Royal preserves of Abergeldde or
Balmoral, during which his Majesty
makes cigare'tt'e incessantly. At
noon a carriage brings lunch'eon to the
pools, after which fleeing is resumed

FLOWER G k.' DEN
OF BRIT SH EMPIRE
•
NOW OWNED BY PRINCE
OF WALES.
Islands of Romance, Pirate
Tales and Midwinter Roses
Lying Off Cornish Coast.
The Prince of Wales now owns the
flower garden -et the British Empire,
the, Scilly Islands, newspaper des-
pabches say, and soon they will wel-
come
ebcome him to their shores.
Like Scylla of classic fame, after
whom it has been said the islands
were named, the rocky shores of these
islands have prove'd hungry monsters
of the deep for mariners stem dared to
guide ships through their treacherous,
waters.
In 1707 Sir Cloudes'ley Shoveler fleet
was, thrown upon the rocks and 2,000
Wren perished. I-Iis flagship was lost
and two men-of-war sank beneath the
waves, while two fire -ships' of hie
squadron ren aground and the remain-
der bareLy escaped'. There le an old-,
saying that nine out of every ten na-
tives of Scilly perish in the sea, but
this is no longer true since the build
ing of the lonely Bishep light, on an
outlying rock to the southwest and
nnmarous other lighthouses and light-
ships, in the islands.
Famous in Olden Days,
The: history of the islands has al-
ways been tinged with fascinating ro-
mance. Though the theory that they
are the Cassiterides• or "Tin Islands,"
of E-Ierodotus, has. been abandoned,
they might we'll have been the trading
centre where the Plsoenciana met the
early Britons, and bartered for tin
from the mines of Cornwall. At any
rate they were inhabited in prehistoric
times, for the inhabitants have left
numerous- barrows and kiatvaens, or
sepulcheal chambers of stone, to tell
of their existence on the Islande.
The -Scillies are generally accorded
to be the legendary country of Lyon -
nesse, the scene of many incidents
which figure in the Arthurian roman-
ces an'd the Cornish folk -fore, as well
as the land of the fervid and tragic
Tristan and Iseult, Atitelatan made a
vow before thea shrine, of St. Bunion
that he would go to the islands, and
conquer them, and upon them the
scene at Sir Waiter Besante, novel,
"Armorel of Lyonneeae,," Is laid, There
is an account in an early English
chronicle des•cribilig the flourishing
state of Lyannesse and how it sudden-
ly s'ubsid'ed beneath the sea.
As! a natter of goodogdc knowledge

The Strike of the Sunfish.
'How to Break a strike of sunfish we
may lean ream Mr, W. R. MacIleath,
The situation as he describes it 1,a
Field and Streein was this: Here was
Medina Lake, sixteen miles long by
half a mile wide, full of submerged
forests and unquestionably full of lisle
lint when the hot weather came they
al'1 went on strike. They simple would
not bite,
I war et my wit's and. Without sun-
fish for bait there would be no bass;
without base there would be na fish
In the pan. The little fellows' held a
strategic position. Seated under an
old cedar, 1: gazed across the opal
waters and thought of home. Again I
was a boy bringing home the cows.
Just over the 'woaui fence of half -rot-
ted rails that separated the pasture
from the meadow the hay stood in
cocks ready to be taken'to the barn.
Then Iliad it! "Hay" had suggeeted
"barn," and "barn" had suggested
"wasps. I could break that strike, for
had I not that very morning passed a
nest of those hot-headed warriors? I
was aatcnrshed that I' had not thought
of them at once; for in my barefoot
days• wasp grubs were known as "dead
medicine" for sunfish.
When 1, returned with that n•estful of
fat grubs I expected a water carnival,
and I was not diappolnted. On the
thin fly hook I lowered a large, fat
grub toward the pool. I think the sun-
fish saw him coming and recognized
hint. He had scarcely touched the
water when the fish made a rush. The
first sue to arrive was soon flopping
on the cliff beside me, while the other
fish were milling about below as .if
talking it over among themselves.
They swam round In groups, in
pairs and singly, waiting for the next
delectable morsel. I let down another
fat grub into the water. There was a
rush! They shouldered and elbowed
one another! But of course only one
fish could get it. From that time on
the fun was fast and Iurloiis, •

"Don't be surprised at the faith
cures you hear about. Even in legiti-
mate medloine faith plays a large
part," said a local physician, the other
day. , • . •
"A friend of mine treated an, old
woman for typhoid fever. At each
visit he put his thermometer in her
mouth to take her temperature. She
improved, and finally a day Caine when
my friend could dispense with his
temperature taking, 'iihat day he
merely prescribed an'd departed.
"But he hadn't got far from the
house when the old woman's daughter
ran after him and called him back.
"Mother's much worse," she said,
"My friend went back 10 the old wo-
man. She looked at hint reproachful-
ly from her pillow and moaned:
" 'Doctor, why didn't ye gimme the
jigger under me tongue to -day? Tliat
does me more good than all the rest
of yon trvlsh.' "

Speed Comes With Age.
Ono of the most interesting of re.
cent discoveries in connection with
e tronomy is that the older a star
grows, the faster does it nova.
A sitar, like an express train, takes
time to get up speed.
In the course of the train, however,
it 1s a matter or a few minutes only;
with a star it is millions of years. The
speed of the fastest. star 1s about three
hundred miles per r:'acond. This cotes.
tial racer is invisible with the naked
eye, but has a number of other mean%
of identification for the convenience
of astronomers.
It has been found that the average
velocity of faint stars is ranch greater
than that of brighter once. Twenty-
eight faint ones have been found to
have an average velocity of 133 miles
per second, whilst the sped of nine
very bright ones avc,-aged only eighty
miles per second.
Judged from the standard of speed,
our own sun—which would appeal as
a star if it'was far.enough away from
us—is a comparative infant. Its speed
is only about twelve napes per second.
