Woman Is:Agxticulttual Export o+s, Western Daily. Cora Hind, known all over Canada es an agricultural editor and auth- ority on crops, whose yearly .reports on the probable yield of grain in the western provinces are eagerly await- ed by the financial world, le always ready to lend a helping hand to other women. ,About ten years ago Diss Hind did a very kindly deed. A girl journal- • ist, hailing trona Winnipeg, had been given the market reports to do for an Alberta newspaper, while the regular editor of the page was on vacation. It was difficult• work for a novice. but the girl managed to for, on all right for the first Sew days. Then her chief sent her to report a con- vention of stock men, The girl duly attended the meeting, but the pro- ceedings might just es - well have been in the Chinese language, for they were utterly unintellible to her. She sat gasping, unable to make out a word of the strange Jar- gon. Miss Cora Hind was there, very efficient and very much at home, deferred toconstantly for her opin- ion by the men, She noticed Vac girl looking like a lost soul, so going over to her she whispered, "Don't worry. Come and have tea with me at my hotel afterwards, and I'll fix you UP." She was as good as her word. After a pleasant chat and cup of tea, which the girl „ enjoyed hugely, a stenographer was Called in, and to her Miss Hind dictated a masterly report of the stock convention, after- wards handing it 'to the girl to use. The result was that the next morn- ing the editor sent- for the young journalist and complimented her on her excellent report. "You write like a veteran --quite remarkable," he commented. ' Cora Hind may be met at most of the inasportant stock shows, whether in Canada or the United States. In the latter country she has made her self equally as wellknown as in Canada for.her expert judgment in agricultural matters. She is prob- ably the greatest woman authority in her line in the world. It should be encouraging to others to note she started as a steno= grapher. Back in 1882 she left To- ronto, her birthplace, and struck out for Winnipeg, then a city' of but 24;000 people. Here she hung out her shingle as a public stenographer. From that beginning she went into. ,journalism, and now tor nearly thir- ty years she has edited an agrioul -tura' page in one of the leading. western papers. ANCIENT OFFICE REMAINS. • Ever Since 1670, the Remembrancer Hold' Sway In London. Changing conditions in ' England have failed to remove the ancient of- fice of remembrancer. This official, who is paid'from $7,500 to $10,000 a year, -sits beneath the .gallery of the House of Commons and keeps his ears open for legislation that may affect the interests or privileges of the Oity of London. Someone has been doing that ever since 1670. In addition, he must aot as medium for communications'between city corpor- ation and the royal family or cab- inet, also taking charge of arrange- ments when a speech is presented to distinguished visitors. Among other things, he must be a, lawyer. The office of common crier also has with- stood the changing conditions. This official draws $2,50Q and his duties are leas important, but more roman- tics oman- t o than •those of the remembrancer. It Is his solemn privilege and duty to carry the mace, before the Lord Mayor whenever that dignitary ap- pears in public. Another task is to assist the mayor in issuing invita- tions to public entertainments. B. Bt. S. Mystery. The building of H. M. S. London, the new battleship which was re- cently launched ecentlylaunched at Portsmouth, Eng- land, was conducted with the great- est possible secrecy, and it is an- nounced that she will remain a mys- tery ship for some years to come. No one except the officials .nearly con- cerned knows the full details of her construction.` The only particulars available about this craft, which has been built under 'the provisions of the Washington Treaty, are that she will have the high speed of thirty - two knots, will displace 10,000 tons, will mount eight 8 -inch and four 4 - inch guns, and will be fitted with a curving deck to protect her against aerial attack. It is interesting to note that this is the ninth vessel of the name which has been launched for the British navy, the first being in servibe so far back as 1686. The Rubber Industry. There were 39 establishments in Canada engaged in the rubber in- dustry in 1426„ of which 28 were in Ontario, 10 in Quebec and one In British Columbia, according to a re- port of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. ' The capital invested in the industry in that year was $62,- 66.1,702; the number ofpersoes em- ployed 13,587, and the value of pro- duction $86,508,187, an increase of 10.58 per cent, over the previous year. at C.P.R.

Fe viva' of Interest In the Work of 'Thomas Sheraton. In this ago of erase for "antiques" it may 2,rove of interest to many to learn a little about Thomas Shera- ton, whose furniture Is so muck sought alter, A Thomas' Sheraton table wasre- cently purcbased by Queen. Mary to prevent it from crossing the Atlantic, writes W. G. Menzies in the London Daily Mail. Thomas Sheraton, wee?. .oa}e of the Most picturesque personalities in the history of English cabinet- mak-ing. In recent years there has been a, revival of interest in his work, and in thousands of English homes to -day you will see the imprint of his taste and' genius As Chippendale was the apostle of carving go Sheraton specialized in inlay, though maw' of the elaborate designs reproduced at the present time are quite foreign to Sheraton's simple and restrained style. For his simplex pieces he used ma- hogany, but for his more important productions he favored satinwood. He also used such varied woods as tulip, rose, sycamore, are, king, dna apple, while on occasion, like the French cabinetmakers, he did not scruple to stain woods with bright colors. His graceful chairs, tables, . and sideboards are perhaps . among the most popular pieces collected by the present-day . connoisseur, while the collector of 'moderate means is ever on the look -out for Sheraton tea- caddies, knife boxes, and are screens. Sheraton's books of designs, though purchased by cabinetmakers all over England and the Continent, were, like everything ease he at- tempted, a .financial failure. Disappointed' and jealous, he did not scruple tci describe the designs of his great ,contemporary Chippendale as "wholly antiquated," his jaundic- ed eye seeing no good in any design which did not emanate from his brain. He lived to see the beginning of that wave bf bad taste which cul- minated in the atrocities of the mid- Victorian cabinetmaker, and' died in abject poverty in an attic in Broad - street, Golden square, in 1806. "An artistic genius living In chaotic poverty." WOLF AND THE SHEEP'S BELL. Bright Idea of Farmer Worked Oppo- site to .What was Expected. The story is told of a settler upon the Mattawa river, in Quebec, who caught a 'wolf some years ago. He had read that ships were some- times cleared of rats by fastening a bell around the neck of one of them, and the bright idea occurred to him that in a similar manner he might. clear the adjacent woods of wolves. He fastened a bell on the wolf's neck, and released him. After the -snow had melted he al- lowed his fiook of sheep to exercise their lambs en the fields near the house. His children were with their father looking at the gambols of the lambs, when the sheep were noticed to prick up their ears as if intently listening. Then, with much bleat- ing, the whole flock raced to the woods. Wondering at the vagaries of the animals, the farmer went about his work. About an hour later the chil- dren. came up to himwith the news that the sheep had returned, but had left one of the lambs behind. them. The next day the : same thing oc- curred again, and another lamb dis- appeared. The children tried to keep the sheep in the fields, but, failing, followed them into the bush. They reported that they had distinctly heard a bell tinkling in the distance. Then it began to dawn on the farmer that the bell which had been fastened on the neck of his gray wolf visitor was the same which was borne by the father of the flock in the previous summer. The quick - eared sheep had recognized the sound of the bell, and, true to teen - ns tinot, had hastened to join their last year's companion. That they found not exactly a wolf in. sheep's clothing, but a wolf attached to a sheep's bell and ready to take advan- Cage of his condition to dine on spring lamb, was no fault of theirs, though certainly their misfortune, 'Boy Immigration Scheme. Seven of the nine provinces of Canada have joined the boy immi- gration scheme whereby the Cana- dian and the British Governments have agreed to spend $5,0.00,000 hi thenext ten years in bringing Brit- ish. boys out to the Dominion. The only two provinces not yet in the scheme -are Manitoba and Saskatche- wan, and it is expected these will join before the year is out. Mani- toba has a training farm for boys available at Birtle. The scheme is to bring out boys between 16 and 20 and train them up. At the age of 21 the: two Governments will advance up to $2,500 to each boy to start hint on a farm .of his own.

The total "whale catch on the Brit- ish Columbia coast in 1927 amount- ed to 261 mammals, it was announc- ed by Captain George Lemarquand, following the return of the last of the Consolidated Whaling Corpora- tion's grounds from the hunting noxi s fleet r g off Queen Charlotte Islands. in 1926 269 whales were taken.
