FAMOUS BACHELORS
OF THE PAST
There -are famous bachelors in the
modern world; and a 'list, beginning
with Lehd Balfour, Lard Haldane, and
the Hoop Maurice Baring, -would be
intereeting, saya an. English 'writer.
But in the long lint of the mea who
livesleand died in a state of "single
blessedness" there are more than any
single article can mention, and a few
of the great bachelors of the past must
sutce.
There la Oliver Goldsmith, for in. -
stance. His "Jessamy Bride" is one
of the fragrant flowers of literature,
but, although there is no doubt of his
love for here,' and her strong affection
tor' him, yet she married another, and
the author of "The Vicar of 'Wakefield"
and "The Deserted Vielege" died a
bathetor.
Oliver's. greatest friend and com-
rade, Sir Jeasima Reynolds, taro 'lived
and died unmarried. He, too, Is
credited with hie love Mali?, and, al-
though he painted all the loveliest Wo-
men of hie time, including Kitty Flail-
er, there .s.eeras to have been only one
woman foe him, and that was the fa-
mous woman painter and B.A., An-
gelicaaKauffmana, whom he was wont
to call "Little .Angel." She made an
unhappy marriage, and It might have
been well had she married her some-
what -elderly and Very deaf adorer.
Perhaps ' painters are "wedded to
their-worke' tor It was a painter who
said that no artist should ever marry,
and it is a tact tha.i there are perhaps
more diatinguished bachelors among
ertists than among any other single
clese. Sir Thomas Lawrence, P.R.A.,
Lor instance, was a bachelor.
But, although be never married, he
was a "squire of dames," a yery fas-
cinating man, and there is no doubt
he caueed the famous- Mrs. SicIdons to
think that he had matrimonial inten-
tions in respect of one of her daugh-
ters, although even she, did net know

ence and interest which are to calcu-
lated to please.

Williaan Cowper, -the famous author
of "The Trott'," and deemed almost
the best of English letter-writens, died-
untnarried. yet the poet bad many
women friends who were devoted to

T INING A DOG P0SWJM.
One -of the most tisefili things that
You eon teach a dog to do is to go into
tne water at your command, not mere-
ly to S relic and cool off on a hot sum -1
mer's day, but, if necessary, to recover
some floating °haat or even to rescue
a persoa in danger of sinking.
The training should begin when the
animal is eight or ten months old
during the warm days of midsummer.
Select a place near the edge- of a
POnd or lake where the 'wr.tco is shal-
low •and station yourself in a 'boat a
short distance from the shore; or, if
you are in your bathing suit wade
out a little way and cal/ the dog 'to
-you. -Never foree him" into the water.
• The dog will rapidly acquire confi-
dence and wil] soon cease to he nerv-
ous when he gets beyonri• his depth.
When that/ stage is reached 'it is a
good plan to accustom the dog to fol-
low the beet at first for a short dis-
tance and the gradually on longer
trio. At the end of each swim take
the dog -into the boat to rest and
praise hixn for his perseverance.
,The dog should be taught to select
a good landing point and to avoid,
steep 'banks that are hard to ctirrib.
That can be accomplished by calling
him to the larict only at spots where
the banks are low. He will soon learn
to select such places of his own accord.
A young and intelligent dog will
quickly learn to recover 'a sticic or
other object from the surface of the
weter, especially if he has already
been 'trained to do the same thing on
land. TJpork seizing the 'object he,
should be made to bring it from the
water at once and -to Emit himself
with it at your feet. Call upon him
to perform the trick only once or
twice at a tune arid never allow him
to play with the rescued stick or o
take it into the water himself.
Never pretend to throw a stick in o
the water to "fool" a dog; you will
succeed only in destroying his 000 -
It is best to put off lessons in div-
ing until a'dog is eighteen menthe or
; two years old. Choose .a 'spot where
' the water is ihallow and clear and
sink a small basket whereathe dog can
see it. Later other articles may be
used but they should be as light-
colored as possible, so that they may
be perfectly visible under the water.
When a dog has learned o swim
with confidence and to put his head
under water he may be trained to
jurep into the water from various
heights. Begin by throwing a stick
Dar him into the water, and after-
wards withhold the stick and teach
him to jump only at the word of corn-
.
mend. '
Scene dogs will dive from a bridge
or from a spot fifteen or twenty feet
above the water. Sueh animals have
been exceptionally well trained and
possess unusual will power.
If your dog is partieulerly strong
and intelligerit, you can with cave and
perseverance teach eani to rescue a
drowning pereon. Beginnby using a
'diammy that has an arra that the dog
can seize. Then wrap your own arm
in cloth to avoid injury and let the
dog take it into his mouth. Any ani-
mal whose training has advanced to
that stage will Soon understand what
is expected of him and will quickly
learn to seize a person's arm without
fixing his teeth in it.
BRITISH -CANADIAN
COAL SUPPLY THE AIM
OBJECT OF PARLIAMENT
BEING ATTAINED.
Growing Demand for Welsh
and Scottish Anthracite
in Canada.
The House of Commons in ite dis
mission on the 31st of Marcie 1924, o
the fuel shortage In Onterio and 'Que
bec In 1922, arrived at the conausio
which was expressed in a resplutio
that'the time hate arrived for Caned
to have. a national policy in relattion t
its coal suppey, and that no part o
Canada should beaten dependent o
the United States. The same resolu
tion expressed -the opinion- that the
Government shelled immediately con
eider the Initiation of an all -British
and Canadian coal .supply. A meane
ef giving effect to one phase of this
resolution had already been pointed
Out by reports prepared under the di
reotion of the Honourable Charles
Stewart, deeltng with the desirability
of developing a permanent market for
British anthracite in Cmada. In view
of this ale important to note thee the
imports of Welsh and Scottish an
thracite Into Canada, wheal began in
.1922, increased largely in 1923 and pre
mise to etill further increase this year
The amount imported in 1922 was 180,
000 tons and in 1923 262,000 tone, an
increase of nearly one-half. Oe the
quantity importea about 20 per cent
has graded es of "do -Meade size and
has in consequence commanded the
best market prices. In this contuse
don, however, it sliould be borne in
mind that the 1923 figures cover a ful
year's trade movement, while those
for 1922 may be said to be eaufinea to
the eummer and autumn'M
period, I
lowing the visit to Englana of a repre-
sentative of the Canadian Department
of Mamie.
Demand for British Product,
duet, of course, competes with United
States anthracite. Even in, district
where the former has bad to be sold
at a higher price than the latter, the
difference as counterbalanced' by the
superior quality of the British coal.
The' first ccest and the dust retard-
ed ith early popularity-, but an im-
proved arading and distributing sys-
tem such as that under way will, no
doubt, overcome to 'a. cecrtain degree
these objecteons.
The cost of transporting coal from
Swansea to Mcatreal is only -about
half' that of bringing it from Pennsyl-
eremite. This at due to the very favor-
able ocean rates and to the large sur -
9105 of cargo space regularly coming
f from England 00Canada. There are
- many factors to eneourage a por-
n manent anthracite trade development
n between Great Britain and- Canada
a Which would be extremely advantage-
ous to both -countries and an unmixed
f blessing to the ocean carriers.
