It was in the garden at Chequers 'that the first intimation was given of 'the fateful conference at Washington apart : which, not inupn'obably, the fu- •ture of civilization hangs; it was Sunday afternoon, and the American Ambassador lied arrived, with a eAlegraan in his pocket front -the American President. -It was an ° invitation to the British Government 'to send representatives to Washing- ebon to discuss the queebion of dis- ruraternent„ Mr, Harvey, the ambassador, and Mr. Lloyd. George were seated to- atether in the garden When the former 'handed the cablegram to the Prime .Minister, In a fliash'the Prime Minister was on his feet. "We accept!"' he almost shouted. ateceptegladiy, we accept grate - :fully: We will do everything in our power to make the conference a sac - nese." A Great Turnitig-Point. The Temple .Garden, on the Em- 'ibankntent, is one of the most his- -fork spots in London, for it was there that the Wars of the Roses really •commenced. These wars were se- ealled 'because the ensign of the •House of York was a white .rose, and that of the House of Laoaster a red rose, The story goes that my Leeds Som- erset and York, with a umber of their retainers, met in the Temple Gardens, End commenced to quarrel about the weak King Henry VL, for whom the former was regent, In the nibdst of the quarrel Somer- set pinked a red roes, and, turning to his friends, said: "Let him who sideswith me' pluck a red rose and wearit in his cap!" Then the Duke of York savagely tore a white rose from a neighboring bush, and cried: "This is my badger Let hint who is my friend pluck a white rose and wear it!" This scene is .pictured Ln one of the frescoes in the Houses of Parliament. It was one of the great turning - points in English history; for the Wars of the Roses shattered feudal- ism, destroying the power of the bar- ons, and net in conation the spirit of :freedom and democralee government which is the keyneto of modern Eng- land. A Momentous Decision. The vast empire of India was vir- tually won for Britain in a garden, On February 5th, 1757, just outside the village of Massy, 'Surajah Dowlah had 60,000 troops, end Clive -3,000. Clive ealled a council of war, which .itdvised him not to udv'ance. Clive went into a garden alone, and sat under a grove of trees for an hour in. quiet thought. When he carne out he rejected the council's advice, and sub- dued an empire in a battle which only basted an hour! Wilberforce first. :tooted the ques- tion of the abolition of the slave trade ;to Pitt ina garden. Wilberforce had just read Clarkson's famous essay on abolition;, when he ' was invited to spend a week -end with Pitt, and wan- dered -dered with him into the 'beautiful park at. Holwood, near' Brownley. There he first announced his inten- tion to the great statesman of bring- ing the sabject before the House. The res,lt:t;on was m ale at the foot of a tree still called Wilberforce's Oak, and a stone seat, erected by the Earl of Stanhope, marks the spot. Where a Great Poem Was Born. A little later, when Wilberf xee put his case before the House, Pitt,, Fax, and Burke supported him, 'and all England rang with applause. Motor buses, charabanos, and thou- sands of motor -cars pass by Box Hill and the pretty little hotel which Ineaties under its foot at Burford Bridge without knowing that in the beautiful old garden at the back of the house Nelson took leave of his beloved "Emmet'—the Lady. Hamil- 'ton, whom Romney Painted over sixty times—Wore he took cooch to Ports- mouth and thence sailed on that cruise which ended at Trafalgar. In that very same garden another event happened which men do not take as much oeocount of, but which may, nevertheless, count for more in the true evolution of the race. John. Keats wrote the greater part of "Endyanion" as he walked those paths, listening to the birds end look- ing upon the beautiful landscape, and coined there that immortal phrase: "A thing of beauty is a joy for- ever," Mother!

Some people think pain in the buolc means kidney trouble; but the best medical authori- ties agree that backache seldom or never has anything to do with the kid - item Organic' kidney disease may have progressed to a ocitical point without developing a pain in the back, This being the case, pain in the back should' always lead the sufferer to loop to the condition of his blood. It will be fouled In most cases that the use of Dr, Williams' fink Pills to build up the blood will stop the sensation of. pain in. the ill -nourished muscles of the back. How much better it is to try Dr, Williams' Pinit Pills for the blood than to give way to unreasonable alarm about your kidneys. If you sus- pect your kidneys, any doctor can stake tests in ten minutes that will set your fears at rest, or tell you the worst.

It has long been an accepted theory that the. ocean derived its salt from the rocks of the land. Rivers carry satt to, the eea, together with other minerals, and there it has accumulated through the ages. This refers only to common salt, which is sodium chloride, an element so far essential to the health of the human body that we could not survive without it. It is table salt, lacking which most of our food's would taste flat and insipid. Sea water 'contains other salts, not- ably those of magnates)). and pates - shun, both of which. like sodium, aro metals. It is a fluid of very complex chemical make-up, containing even appreciable percentages of gold and silver. Which, of course, is what might be expected in. .view of the contribu- tions of kind -detritus by the rivers. But now a neer theory is being put forward, based upon the alleged fact that the salts of„the sea do not corres- pond quantitatively to the salts of the land. That is to say, their relative quantities do not correspond; For one item there is au enormous excess of chlorides. The backers of this theory are disposed to contend that the salts of the ocean are largely of volcanic origin, taken up in solution from ma- terials vomited up from 'the sea bot- tom at a period when the terrestrial globe was as yet 'in the making, --its crust being in process of formation. TO support this idea, they say that the crater of Vesuvius after each eruption is found covered with a white crust that is in composition exactly like sea salt: It is estimated by geo- logists that the common salt in the ocean would make 4,800,000 cubes each one mile in size, which if spread over Canada would form a layer one and six -tenths miles high. • The Man. e g n.

The beast referred to in the Bible as a "utalcorn" is almost undouhtedly the ,slugie-horned rhinoceros of Southern Asia, which, needless to say, is a very formidable beast. At Calcutta there is a famous Zoo, which, specializing in Asiatic animals, keeps on exhibition a number of rhin- os of this species. The other day a native, who had never before seen a rhinoceros, visited the Zoo aud, overcome with amaze- ment was suddenly inspired with an ambition to ride the biggest ono, which at the moment lay peacefully dozing in his pen. He proceeded there- upon to climb the iron fence, despite the protests of airier persons who sought to restrain hint and who looked in vain for a guard or keeper to pre• vont the crazy action. Once Over the fence, he boldly strati - died the huge animal, and looked, around him for admiration.

Today, more than ever, with the mode prevailing of even shorter than, ,Ibow sleeves, the contour of the arm plays a most important part in ode's appearance. If it Is too thin, which is very often the case, most beneficial results will be quickly accomplished by soaking some sols old linens- in either sweet almond or olive on. These should be placed firmly about the arms. but not so tight that the circulation 1s interrupted, The eurfaee should first be washed with Warm water (not very hot) whlolt will open the pores and eaally absorb the massage oil Before applying be sure that the skin has been thouroughly dried, for if any moisture .remains the unguent Will not be thoroughly absorbed. A few simple physical culture exercises before P p } e .the treatment, so that the circulation may Ise stimulated, will produce much quicker results.

In the morning a little glycerine and rosewater should be well rubbed In after the bath, so that the texture will be refined. Massage is also essential. Massage. the arms every night using a little lano- line and work it In while kneading the flesh so as tobring the blood to the surface. With firm strokes, rub firmly from shoulder to elbow and elbow to wrist, upward and downward, Then begin at the wrist, using the finger tips, and massage with a circular motion up the arm,to the simmers. If this is 1 s done It should make the akin properly d e glow and tingle and may precede the wrapping treatment. • The elbow is undoubtedly one of the moat difficult parts to treat, for at this point it is not so fleshy and there is a tendency for the skin to become shrivel- led and the joints to protrude, Unsightly elbows will spoil the appearance of the best dressed woman and It is therefore positively ridiculous for -one whose el- bows are disfigured to wear extremely short sleeves, A great deal can be done, however, to nourish the shin so that it will not wrinkle. Plenty of shin food should be used, wrapping the elbow in it if neces- sary at night, and after bathing in the morning douche the part well with 00)0 water, followed by an astringent, which will clean the pores and take up the superfluous skin.

Suspended Ferry Caries Traffic Across River. • A novel kind o•f •bridge for trans- porting pedestrians and vehicles acress a river, without interfering in any way with the passage of full rig- ged ocean-going shipping. is in opera- tion at the town of Newport, Eng., on the river Usk, four miles from its junction with the Severn. On account of the steepness of the banks, the great rise and -fall of the tides, the length of the ,span, and time height of headway needed, any ordinary kind of bridge was impracticable, and there-. fore this special kind. called a "trans- porter bridge," was erected. The stationary members of the bridge consist of it pair of supporting towers. 242 ft. high, on each bank of the river. These carry two trussed girders, 16 ft, deep and 26 ft. front centre to centre, across' the span of 845 ft, The total clearance from high-water level to the underside of the span is 177 ft. The horizontal trussed girders aro tied together and braced as fu any ordinary bridge .span, and their bottom chords form, a track, Itt each ease, for 15 wheels on either side of its web, These wheels aro citr• tied on steel braelcet.s. which are part. oh a largo travelling frame, 104 ft.. long, which forms the means of traus- p•ortating 11 s uependeti platform or car- rier.

Energy Required in Sewing by Hand and With Machines. That there is a great difference in the expenditure of energy required with different ways of sewing, wee demon- strated recently by scientists. Little variation was found iu hand hemming on fine handkerchiefs cotton sheets, 8 -oz. cotton duck, or army blankets, but when the speed of sewing was in- creased, the expenditure of energy increased in proportion, Hemming sheets on a foot -driven machine, which was discovered to be about six time.:, as fast as doing the same work by hand, required six times as much en- ergy, but the energy, per yard of sew- ing, was hardly one-half as great. When an electrically driven machine was used, the energy required per hour was not quite twice that used for hand sewing, and about ode -fourth of that used for the foot -driven machine, DANDERINE Stops Hair •Coming Out; Thickens, Beautifies. 35•csuts hays a bottle of ^itancleriue" at ally drug store.

A little gentleman of about twelve years of age was" noticed holding a swinging door open for an old lady. When she had passed out to the sidewalk, her "escort" saw to it that she was guided safely across. and into an automobile waiting at the curb. One did not need to be told that the little fellow was a Boy Scout. He did not have any distinguishing badges "up" and he had left his "Baden- Powell" at home—but he had Boy Scput written all over him, A true gentleman in the staking, that is what that boy is. And if for no other reason'tiran the reason euppiied through that delightful little incident, we grown-ups should back the I;oy Scout Movement with every arcane in our power. * 9 w * t, All information regarding the or- ganization of Boy Scout and Wolf Cub (Junior Scout) Packs can be had upon application to the Field Department of the Boy Scouts Assotstation Headquar- ters; Bloor and SherbourneStreets, Toronto.
