Bed b' ci ', efe'r1y:!uone. .
There was a time within the present
generation when red cedar was to be
found in every pert of Canada, There
was so much red cedar, in fact, that
everybody thought, without making
any special calculation, enough was
in sight to last a few thousand years.
This being the situation, everybody
who had nothing else to do took a
hand at wasting it. Lavish use -was
made of it in hundreds of ways, and
some persons actually were sufficient-
ly ruthless to turn it into lirewood.
Mere would have done this, no
doubt, but it,ws,sn't as a good heater.
It made a fine blaze, but it was not
a satisfying winter. fuel, Of coarse,
the people were riding to a fall in the
timber, and many now wish their.
forefathers had not made such reck-
less use of red cedar, It has been
getting scarcer and scarcer in the last
ten years, and now we have reached
such straits that it is being purehaeed
either in 'the tree or in the fence
wherever it can be found.
As a result of its paucity the use.
of red cedar is becoming more and
more restricted, Twenty years ago
railway companies put millions of
feet of it under their tracks as ties,
and vast use of it was made in in.
terior house finishing, cabinet -malt.
ing, cooperage and canoe building.
Little by little timber workers have
turned 'to -other ]rias of wood beau
to 8 o because
s
cedar was so hard to obtain, and now
its use is largely confined to cigar
boxes and lead pencil casings.
Hotel for Working Girls.
Vart ouver' W.C.T.U. has
C s bV.C.T.0 an
organization which was formed to own
and operate an hotel wherein working
girls and women will be provided with
inexpensive quarters.
At a recent meeting of this organi•
cation it was decided to rent a house
and open it at once, pending the more
leisurely purchase of a site and erec-
tion of a building.
This step was decided on because of
the pressure of the present need and
the zeal and ability to meet such a
necessity.
The "Look Out Committee" has al-
ready examined a number of houses
in the central portion of the city in
search of a suitable buildiur.
Sayings of Debaters.
New men who added to the gaiety
of debate in the Commons last session
are Webster of Brockville, who re-
ferred to "the sun of Laurierism sink-
ing in a troubled eastern sky." Burn-
ham, of Peterboro, mixes his meta-
phors, and in the "ne temere" debate
was beard to refer to the "boiling
cauldron of cold disfavor which was
raging in Ontario." Nothing, how-
ever, created so much sensation dur-
ing the past session as the famous re-
mark of Mr. Goodeve, of Kootenay,
in the previous Parliamentary term
when the reciprocity debate was at
its height. Referring to Mr. Field-
ing's presentation of the femou's agree,
meat to the House, Mr. Goodeve, with
dramatic intensity, said:
"The Finance Minister opened the
Pandora Box and out jumped the Tro-
jan horse!"

Consulted by Earl Grey on the choice
of a particular Jersey cow which His
Excelleney eciuteriiplatea purchasing
from a dairyman in Hull.
The animal under inspection was

Senator turned to the earl and said:
"Your Excellency, are you buying a
race horse or a cow?"
Banishing the Bill -Board,
The Alberta Woman's Asspciation is
one of the most influential organize -
lions in that western province. Its
membership includes almost every
woman university graduate in the pro-
vince, as well as the wives of the
members of the university senates and
the board of governors. It was or-
ganized about six months ago for the
promotion of higher education in the
province.
The members are interesting them-
selves in the bill -board campaign of
the Oily Planning Commission, and
many club women are expressing their
approval of the desire of the commis -
mon for more stringent bylaws.
Scot Was First.

Knew There Were Fairies..
The Woman Who Saw has a little
friend with wide open eyes and long
brown curls, Sometimes when the
Woman Who Saw' is at her little
friend's house and the other inembere
of the family happen to be out of the
room there is .a 'chance for delightful
little conferences. The Woman Who
Saw always tries to make such oppor
tunities, and she made one on lief' last
visit.
Her little wild 'eyed friend had been
watching for it too, In a dash she
lighted upon the arm of the sofa and
whisitered into the ear of the woman;'
"Do you know, there are fairies! Be-
eause"—excitedly—"last night I made
a little swing for them on my desk,
such a wee little swing, out of the tini-
est, tiniest pieces of sticks and cob-
webs. And -this morning the swing
was all broken! And 'that shows that
the fairies swung in it last night,
doesn't it?"

A tourist traveling with a party of
1•
friends was

nese and was compelled to remain for
some hours in a hotel. He insisted that
the others Must go out. and enjoy the
day and said that he would spend a
few hours composing a Pal ndrome a
sentence the letters of which are in the'
same order whether read forward or

"All right," said one of the party,
"but you'll never beat the sign I saw
in a country store when I was a boy
and red root was in some demand:
"ii17D ROOT PUT UP TO OR.DIrR:"
When the party returned the sick
man's face wove a triumphant smile as
he handed the following lines -to his
friend:

England's Most Beautiful Village.
When Sir .john Gorst succeeded his
brother in his Wiltshire property he be-
came the owuee of what is held, in the
west country at any rate, to be the
most beautiful village in England.- All
visitors to Bath are supposed
to have
misused their opportunities unless they
have beep. to Castle Combo, and indeed
the sweet little place is so extensively
visited, although it is five and a half
miles from any railway, that during
the summer months provision is made
on the last day of the week for from
600 to 1,000 trippers. The surround-
ing scenery is not less picturesque than
the village itself, and to those who are
interested in such matters there Is also
the attraction of a long history. The
church of Castle Combo, which is an-
cient, lids been restored without being
spoiled.—Westminster Gazette.
Balzac and pumas Literary Fees.
It is said that Balza° detested Dumas.
Once he brought to the Siecie the man'
uscript of a novel, which was to follow
"Les Trois Mousquetaires," then being
Published. He asked to be paid 2%
francs a line. The director of the jour-
nal hesitated. "You see, Iii, Dumas is
being paid only 2 francs a line." "If
you are giving 2 francs to that negro
I shall get out!" And Balzac stalked
off.
Dumas was not Ignorant of 13alzac's
feelings toward him and did not spare
him. In the foyer of the Odeop theater
Balzac was talking loudly in a group
of literary men, "When I have written
myself out as a novelist I shall go to
pleywriting." "You can begin right
away," called out Dumas.
