What a Beale:
As everyone knows,•the beaks of
birds differ to a certain extent, Pew
people, however, realize exactly itow
oldsely a beak is adapted to do its
work.
The heron uses its beak as, a dag-
ger, and very expert it is in•its use
in this .respect, for which purpose the
beak is specially suited. The helmet
hornbill uses •its beak in exactly the
same way as we use a hammer, and
its beak is hard and shaped for this
use.
The beaks differ because of the
birds' `different methous of dealing
with their food; this is the case with
many fish -eating birds.
The scissor bill, for instance, dif-
fers considerably from the dufIln; the
short flat beak of the latte' bird is
made for holding as well at' catching
fish, but it is also remarkable for an-
other reason.
At the base of the beak are certain
pbrightly-colored plates; when the
Moulting season comes round these
plates are shed with the feather'.
They appear again, however, the fol-
lowing spring.
The strangest beaks of all are per-
haps those belonging to the hand bird
of Australia, for the beak of the finale
differs from the beak of the female,
and when food is found by one to
be out of reach of its beek,,it is said
that the mato' is called, to see if, with
its different shaped beak, it is able
to capture the morsel.
Essences of Plants.
It is from Spain that we get most
of our so-called essential oils, which
are so valuableas flavorings; in per-
fumery, and for other purposes—
chief among them being rosemary,
avender, pennyroyal, thyme, spike,
sweet -fennel, bitter -fennel, sage and
marjoram. They are extracted from
plants that grow wild In the unculti-
vated mountain regions of southern
Spain.
The total- annual production of
rosemary oil in that country is eeti-
niated at 150 tons; thyme, 100 tons;
spike, seventy-eHve tons, and other'
essences, fifty thus. Minor products
of similar kind are rue, juniper, ne-
roll, geranium and Spanish rose, all
of them derived from cultivated
plants.
Until very recently the farmers
who produced these oils pursued the
industry only as a side line and inter-
mittently. But within the last two
years the demand for thorn has in,'
creased by leaps and bounds, exceed-
ing the production fifty times. This
demand is mainly by American im-
porters, and one et its effects has
been to bring about a wholesale adul-
teration of the output,
Sapphire "Sells."
People who pride' themselves on
the beauty of their sapphire rings and
other sapphh•e ornaments would do
well to have the genuineness be the
stones tested.
Taking advantage ofthe perfection
of synthetic or composition sapphires,
which only a jeweler can detect from
real gems; unscrupulous dealers are
gelling then, as Australian sapphires.
This- is ,a distinct ffiaud, for the
Australian sapphire is a;'real: stone,
worth from $12 to- $40 a'carat, while
synthetic sapphire8, like ` Imitation
rubies and emeralds, are worth only
about 50 cents.

MILBURN'S HEART and NERVE PILLS.
There are many people, at the present
time, whose heart is affected, whose
nerves are unstrung and general health
impaired.
To such we offer Milburn'a Heart and
Nerve Pills as the best remedy that
science has produced for such troubles.
These pills have a wondertul effect on
the weakened heart and the shattered
nervous system, containing as they do
the very best elements for the relief of
all heart and nerve troubles..
Mts. C. Farrity, Trossachs, Seek.,
writes:—"I suffered for over a year
with heart and nerve trouble. I had
terrible headaches and dizziness, could
not sleepand had no appetite. I was
taking dctor's medicine, but it did not
help me. I was completely discouraged.
Then a friend told me of Mrlburn's Heart

I began to feel better, and after seven
teoxes I felt like a new person. I heartily
recommend them to all my friends."

Egypt Grew Cotton in 200 B.C.
Cotton has been grown in Egypt
'since 200 B.C., but it was not until
a hundred years ago that Jumel, a
French engineer, suggested the in-
troduction of the commercial varie-
ties. In 1822 the famous American
sea island cotton was the first sown.
Five years later a Brazilian variety
was introduced. The two strains were
mingled and from them came the
famous "Ashmouni" plant and the
still finer "Mutat ' which is one of
the moat productive cottons in the

A STRANGE BUSINESS.
Mushrooms Are Grown In Faults of
Brewery.
Since the advent of prohibition,
breweries on this continent have un-
dergone strange metamorphoses.
Some of them, it is true, have turned
their attention to the brewing of
"near -beer'," which is just like any
other beer except that the kick is
extracted from it;;. but in most in-
stances they have been converted in-
to ice -making plants or factories of
other kinds.
One great brewing establishment
in New York has been transformed.
into a mushroom factory. Its sub -
terrine= , -vaults — tunnels cut
through- solid rock, in which thou-
sands of barrels of beer were for-
merly
ormerly stored—are now oceupied by
neatly -built mounds of rich loam,
which, as beheld by the curious visi-
tor, stretch" in long perspect1 'e down
cool, dimly" lighted corridors.
From enter air and daylight one
steps into an underground chamber,

haling an "atmosphere' laden with a
faint and pleasant fragrance of earth
and mushrooms. Eleetrle'bulbs;hang-
ing from overhead illuminate the
mounds, showing them ft: be covered
with mushrooms in every stage of
growth, from tiny... "buttons" just
,peeping out of the soil to: specimens
fully developed and ripe for. picking.
The cultural methods here'adopte$-
are highly scientific, being carried
out tinder the direction of a French
expert. Eren the "spawn" has been
Imported from 'France, in which
country,rnushroom •groiving has long
been an important industry. The
quantity of mushrooms produced per
square foot of bed is said to be three
times the ordinary. '
A start was made with 100,000
square feet of beds; but this area has
been multiplied by three through
adoption of the ingenious expedient
of.filling 'Wooden trays with the Melt
loam mixture and supporting them, in
tiers on steel •racks. Thus there are
not only beds. on the floor of the
vaults, but also ani stories above.
The former brewery supplies hotels
and restaurants, as well ae the public
markets, with mushrooms, from
1,200 to 1,500 pounds of them being
gathered daily throughout the year.
Under regular contract,, they are
furnished at $1' a pound. All seasons
are alike in the mushroom factory,
where a controlled and unvarying
temperature affords the "tonditione
mneainlyserequisite in this kind of bust-
.
The mushrooms are pinked , be.
tween 7 and 10 o'clock each morning,
packed neatly in baskets and deliver-
ed as quickly as possible by auto-
mobiles. Thus they have the tender..

after he had made such costly preps•

In the midst of the city of Mont-
real, half -way between the uptown
.sand downtown business districts, on
the corner of two of the best rest -
dental streets, there stands, sur-
rounded by large shade -trees a sub-
stantial and comfortable old-fashion-
ed atone dwelling -house. On one
of the pillars of the wide 'hospitable
looking entrance is a brass plate
announcing the house to be Dor-
eheater House, the Canadian Wo-
men's Hostel of Montreal.
This house is the Montreal head-
quarters of the association, which
with the aid of the Ggvernment has
undertaken to provide a welcome for
the women of the old lands coming
to make their homes in Canada, no
matter what may be their nation-
ality or religion. The house stands
far a welcome to these women from
beyond the sea, but it oleo stands
for many other things, such as
oafety for even the moat inexperi-
eaced traveller, kindliness ,and as-
adstaaoe during the first days of
natural bewilderment in strange sur-
roundings, eraplo t for those
seeking week, a friendly head-
quaietsru ussitit the stranger feels her-
salf, firstly established an the new
land.
Haring the five years the associa-
tion ham been in exiateaee the boatel
has proved a boeer and its workers
have befriended thousands of girls
and women from the old rands. Since
the removal in May 1020; of the
bostd to Dorchester Houae, its prea-
ant beautiful and spacious grdarters,
the promoters of the work have been
enabled more than ever to provide
a veritable "home from home" for
the girls and women newly arrived
in Canada: s.
Montreal, a port city in summer
and the great railway terminus of
the east at all seasons, forms a sort
of gate -way to all parts , of the
Dominion west of the Maritime PI'o-
vinces. Thus the functions of the
hostel include the entertaining for
a few hours of rest, of travellers
bound fol the distant west of,Can-
ada. ,,
An explanation of the methods of
work of the hostel shows how every
precaution is taken for the safety
and comfort of the travellers. •Be-
fore the boat arrives in dock or
the boat train is due at the station
the name of every unaccompanied
woman and girl on the boat has been

noises of Dorchester House meet the

hour they may arrive. The girls
can identify them by means of a
purple badge worn on the armt and,
may be provided themselves with a
small purple button'by the immigra-
tion authorities. But whether wear-
ing the official button or not, if in

explained to them, and they are
started on their way. In the mean-
time the hostel advisee friends at
the end of the journey of their im-
pending arrival.
If no such friends exist a repre-
sentative of the hostel in the near -
eat centre arranges for a church
home for the friendless girl in her
new home and through this connec-
tion ties of friendship are soon
formed.
A casual visit to Dorchester House
at any hour of' the day or evening
impresses the visitor that the house
lives in every way up to its motto of
a "home from home." The girls
who hive once had a taste of its
hospitalities never fail, if in the city,
to keep in close touch with its good
times. There is no trace of "institu-
tion" about the home where the girls
go and come in the freest possible
manner under the kindly supervision
of the Lady Superintendent who
soon becomes also their mother -con-
fessor and best friend in the coun-
try. The big lofty rooms are fur•
niched with artistic yet homely taste,
and the girls' own sitting -room, with
big chairs and couches and a piano,
is an ideal spot for friendly gather-
ings and jolly afternoons and even-
ings.
During the year of 1920 about
1,400 women and ON from the old
land were entertained in some way
by the hostel. Many of the, girls
came to Montreal without prospect
of work without connections or even
acquaintances in this country. The
employment bureau of the hostel
found positions for thoseveishing to
remain in Montreal without charge
to them, and afterwards kept an
touch with them to see that they
were happy and contented and had
met with fair treatment,
As the largest field by far for
women's work in Canada as domes-
tic service, the girls,' if at all cap-
able in that direction, can be placed
directly~ in good hones in the city.
If further training is necessary the
hostel arranges for classes in hoose•
work, and a few Icasoue.lo Canadian
methods of housekeeping, which inay
bo obtained est the hostel, ere very

charge. There is never a day goes
by that the girls do not drop in for
tea and a visit. Thursday afternoons
c
and evenings are gala occasions
every week, for Thursday is a half-
.hol1iday for the domestics in most i
Canadian homes. The girls come to
tea alone or in groups, and the meal

troubles and sometimes"bring a;
grouch and leave without it," in the
words of the Lady Superintendent.
In cases of illness the hostel ar-
ranges for the girls entering a hos-
pital if necessary, and if a rest is
all that is required the patient can
arrange to stay at the hostel. At
the Christmas season ligliday feasts
at Dorchester House are the order
of the day. Several of the city
churches, as well as the hostel
authorities, provide entertainments
for the girls, and sometimes from
.150 to 200 guests attend those
parties.
During the summer of 1990

his Canadian headquarters for a few
weeks. In one week five weddings
took place in the parlor of the hostel.
The brides who lied come over to

Deaconesses and brought to Dor-
(,heater House, where the marriage
was, solemnized, and a little 'wedding
