There ere not Teeny men, even in this land of "mushroem" growth's, who lived, to see extinguished the village in wiiith they were born. Villages are usually slow growing and usually are persistent ab -Especially is this true in' the old settled Province of Ointario. Yet the -bele that I am now telling is of sualr si men. He was born in the village of Kilworth in the valley of the Thasnes, and- her is yet in the prime of life. The man is Dr. Adam Shontt, Givil 'Service Com- missioner. • The village in which Dr. short* •sam the light *as one of the old mill villages Of the emrly clays in Ontar- io. It •was situated on the River Thames, not far below Springbaak, which again is not fee, below the .City of. London. louden- was cho- sen as the site or the capital of Canada by Sir John Graves Simcoe, who was Governer of Canada at the enel of the eighteenth century, and this portion of the Province was settled early in the century thee fol- lowed. IC/hearth consisted of a mill, a store, and a half dozen houses. Its reason for existence was the mill, to which the farmers from roundabout brought their grain to have it- ground. In the middle of last century the nail was prosperous, and gave a living to two partners, of whom Dr. Shortt's father was oee. With the growth of London and the drift of business thither, however, the mill fell on evil clays, and had eventually to be closed down, and then dismantled. A few years ago Dr. Sthortt visited his native village, and found not a building standing. Even the old bridge was gone. The only means of identifying the spot were the few remains of foundations that it had not been profitable to emery away. The place has gone, and the naane has been picked up and bestowed upon another hamlet in a slightly varied forint Kilworth Bridge is in the same valley of the Thames, but is some miles distant from the ham- let in whieh the present Civil Ser- vice Commissioner- was born. . Broad-Hinfied Citizen. There is a tendency to consider university 'men as narrow. Dr. This peeved to be the worst job struck in six years' wandering, and once more a change of scene was soeght. Various jobs followed in quick sueeessicin, most of them"dis- eieguished .by the big amount of hard 'work they entailed and the microscopic amousit of pay they b roiaght. In America,' particularly in the West, there is a very large floating population of men who go from one s.tabe to another'sp,ending pelt of th.eia time in a lumber camp, the suninier in K.Ionelyke, and then when the winter comes on they get. rid Qr their earnings in a couple of Mantas among 'the Lights of dile of the big -tomes. When broke they will start all over again, a,ncl re- peat the programme till illne,se dr a bullet in a 'Frisco brawl brings down the c'ertain. Thus in his wanderings Mr. Rid - ger was rarely lacking conmenion- ship. He "beat" the trains with the hoboes—in other words,' crawl- ed on to a freig-ht train as a stoma way and took his clia,n,ce of being discovered. After laying sidewalks in Van - &Inver, and being an assistant in a cigar store, he decided to go to Ala,ska. There is a wo,nclerful word picture of the far-famed White Pass, the Gatewayeof .the Yukon, the land of gold, aed the gra,veyard of many hundreds who joined in the grea.t gold rush ot '97. But there was no gold here for the single-handed adventurer, and he returned by way of ValicouVer to Seattle. • Hard times in this Ameri- can keen led him to work hits pas- sage to Japan on a boat that Was nothing but a "eadn-ship." • After a stormy voyage across the Placific and' weeks gf gales and misfortunes, he landed in Japan with three shil- lings still between him and sterva, Frean Japan to • Korea, through Manchuria, and then on board a Japanese coal beanie down the Chis nese coast, he came, after many ad- ventures'to Boston in the United States., ,As there were. no fortunes going a -begging, he returned to Bngland with ten shillings in Inlaid. Tbet ought to have been the end of kis a,clventures, but, having tempted Fete; that mistres,s her- s:elf now took a hand. In a theist ante 'Mr. Riclger found Unseat in the Transvawl, a fully -qualified miner, with a Govetninent certifi- cate. This 'work was abandoned when an opportunity came tojoin an expedition which was being fit- ted up to go North in order to re- cruit netives fey the mines, The magnitude of this undertaking, ivhich entailed travelling some thoes,ancle ot miles, was thelieed by none, least of all by those who or- ganized the ex.peclition. Dr. Adam Short. Shortt is an outstanding figure among university men in the Do- minion. Yet, whatever justifica, tion there may be for the tendency just referred to, there is no justifi- cation for regarding Dr. Sh.ortt as narrow. He carne into public no- tice first as an economist, and per- haps the dry -as -deet reputation of pohitieai ecenomy may have attach- ed itself to him: But Dr. Shoat WaS on,e of these men who was a "calculator and economist" from his youth up • His firet love in the halls of learning was philosophy, and his turning to political science was an evidence of his 'underlying practical bent. Ile was a gold aned- alist in philosophy nt Queen's Uni- versity; and be began his career as a teacher in the depa,rtmeni of philccophy at the same university. In the meantime, however, his mind had turned to the precac,a1 prob- lems of the science of wealth, and at the end of theseightieshe trans- ferred into the ,clepairtment of poli- tical science. • It was while, e,egaged in this branch of univ,ersity work that he became e public figure in the Do- minion. Soon after the organiza- tion of the Labor Department by the Dominion Government he was chasen as clatairmarr of cosnraissionts under the Conciliation Act, end later under the Lemieux Aot.

The Grebe Rarely Flies, Although lie Can Do So "Upon Occasion. The Far West has ;teeny inbeeest- ing birde none more so than the Western grebe, writes a Youth's Companion contributor. That bird, which is unknown in the Bas -band South, enjoys the distinction of be- ing "Number One" on the Check List et the American Ornithologists' Union. For many years the teofb velvety breast feathers were in de- mand as trimmings for ladies' abs. Fortunately, through the efforts of the various bird -protective -socie- ties, laws have been passed to pre- vent this slaughter. The grebe is admirably adapted to a life in the water. His feet are placed far beck so that when he attempts to want he falls forward in the most ridiculous manner, but in the water nothine can equal the' grace with which be moves about. The long, slim neck and sharp. pointed beak offer but little resis- tance to the water when the bird dives, and the dense, emooth breast down, impervious to water, is the proper thing for swimming. The .short„ stout wines MOVO with greae repidity when flying, and carry the bird through the air like a bullet. Grebes seem to know their exposed condition when on the wing, and ate loath to leave theft'. natural ele- ment, The nesting traits of the Western grebe are unique. When nesting time co•mes the bird e seek some se- cluded ltake or pond w.here rushes anti lily pads grow. They pull a mass of these together into a great heap, which they anchor to a stout lily pad: The nest is haealy above the surface, and when the wind blows, ,the wave s dash over the eggs, and keep theni continuelly web. Mrs. Grebe does not seem to mind this in the least, nor do the eggs seen-1'th suffer. There are two eggs, and 'they are pure white at first, bet soon become stained a dirty green from contact with the de,ca,ying vegetation. The mother hied incubates them three weeks. When- the chicks are hatch- ed, they taketothe water imme- diately. I heve seen a little fellow plunge oft the nest into the water with half a shell clinging to his back. Wheeever the'•old bird leaves the nest, she eovees the eggs with lily pads or rushes, Naturalists for- merly thought -she. did this to pro- tect the egga..from prowling ene- mies, but now they believe she does it to keep the eggs from becotning crier-Lea:tea by the sun. The pre- -decants birds anti animals do not seem to prey upon the grebe to any great extent; they seem to smiles that it is impossible to ,capture one of the,se birds on the weber, and as the grebe seldom leaves it, they are not bften paught.

You don't have to wait all ,,day to get the kink out of a stiff neck if you rub on Nerviline. And you don't need to go around complaining about lum- bago any more. You can rub such things away very quickly with Nervi. line. It's the grandest liniment, the quickest to penetrate, the speediest to ease muscular pain of any kind. One twenty-five cent trial bottle of Nerviline will cure any attack of lum- bago or lame back. This has been proved' a thousand times, just as it was in the case of Mrs. E. 3. Grayden, of Caledonia, . who writes: — wouldn't think of going to bed with- out lmewing we had Nerviline in the house. I have used it for twenty odd years and appreciate its value as a family remedy more and more every day. If any of the children gets a etiff neck, Nerviene cures quickly. If it is earache, toothache, cold on the chest, sore throat, Nerviline is always my standby.

On Dominion Day‘last year every passenger who entered e <lining car of the C.P.R. received a raa,ple sugar =ale leaf enclosed in a little box with a miniature Cenadiee Ensign and a copy of "The Maple Leaf For Ever." In .the United Stakes each particular fruit, such as the orange, has its day, and the C.P.R. ide,a, was to idenaly the Canadian National Holiday with this typical Canadian product, The Quebec Government was much in- terested in the idea, end decided to elaborate it on is Still more coal- prehensive scale, Quebec being the province most intimately connected with the 'maple sugar industry. In- deed, the higher standard of purity noticeable an , tommercial rnaple sugar is largely due to the enlight- ened efforts of t•he Quebee Ministry Inc Aviculture, which directs three schools foe educating farmers in the best methods of tapping, distilling and producing the sever. This year, therefore, the Quebec Gov- ernment .itself has taken in hand the Maple Day idea, and is itself providing maple sugar souvenirs to passengers eerveel in dinieg cars on all Canadia,n linos, following the C.P.R. example. 11e Got Off.
