CANADA'S NET DEBT.
National 'Debt Reduced Nearly Hun-

Ten year's after the war Canada
paid interest on a staggering_ war
bill to the extent of over a hundred
and seven million dollars the eight
months from April to October of
1928. In that same period, however,
the national debt has been reduced
by nearly a hundred million.
Revenue from taxation applied as
war measures brought in during the
eight ,months nearly fifty millions
from excise taxes, over fifty-five mil-
lions from income tax and nearly a
million and a half from other war
taxes. The expenditures that can be

ANTHONY 'ETRICKE.
Left •£1 a Year For Tomb's Upkeep'
Which Is Still .Raid.
Amongst the many curiosities to
be found in Wimborne Minster, in
Dorset, is the quaint tomb 'of An-
thony Etricke; the first recorder of
Poole, and the magistrate who com-
mitted Monmouth after Sedgemoor.
He was for some reason offended
by the Wlmborne people, and so made
a vow that he would not be buried in
their church or out, under the ground
or over. To carry this out he cut a
niche in the wall and placed there his
coffin with the date 1693 inscribed
thereon, believing he should die in
that year. He did not die, however,
until 1703, when he was buried in
the chosen spot i.n such a way that
his body was neither• above the
ground or below, In the church or
out. The date 1703 was then writ-
ten over the other in gold.
He left £1 a year for the tomb's
upkeep,' which is still paid.

too much for a sincere lover of
animals.
The duchess: often stops and buys
a stray overworked horse in the
street, ,and sends it to her rest horde
in the Midlands, where some of these'
animals are to be found frisking
about the fields fit and fat and strong,
