The Herald, 1910-07-22, Page 7THE HAPPY FARMER BOY. Must He Too Be Added to the List of Exploded Traditions? "I'd like to be a boy again without a woe or care, with freckles seattored on inn' face and hayseed in my hair. "I'd like to rise at 4 o'clock and do a hundred chores, saw *he wood and feed the hogs and lock the stable doors, and herd the hens and watch the bees and take the mule to drink, and teach the turkeys how to swim so that they wouldn't sink, and milk'about a hundred. cows and bring the wood to burn, and stand out in the sun all day and churn and ishurn and churn, and wear my brother's east off clothes and walk four miles to school, and get a licking every day for breaking some old rule, and then get home again at night and do the. chores some more, and milk the cows and feed the hogs and curry mules ga- lore, and then crawl wearily upstairs to seek my little bed, and hear dad say, `That worthless boy! 1: Ie isn't worth his dread 1' 'Td like to be a boy again—a boy has so much fun! His life is just a round of mirth from rise to set of sun. I guess there's nothinig pleasanter than closing stable doors and herding hens and chas- ing bees and doing eeening chores."-- Commercial hores"—Commercial Travellers' Magazine. WORDS OF CAUTION TO YOUNG MOTHERS. Mothers must' keep guard over the health of their little ones during the summer months. Summer is an anxi- ous time for all mothers, but more especially for young mothers. It is the most fatal time of the year for babies and young children. It is then that stomach and bowel troubles come almost without warning ,and often be- fore aid. The mother must take strict caution to keep her little one's stomach sweet and pure and his bowels moving regularly. No other medicine can do this so quickly and thoroughly as Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets should always be kept in the house. Au oc- casional dose will keep baby well or if illness comes on suddenly the Tablets will quickly remove the cause and make baby well and happy.

New Entrenching TooL The new light entrenching tool with which the British infantryman is now equipped is in three parts—spade, pick and shaft --so arranged that when the spade is in use the.resistence is taken by the pick acting against the shaft and held in position by the left hand, while wl.en employed es a piek tae nveight of ` the shovel assists and a ,portion of the resistenee is taken by the head: of the shaft. 'The pick, be- ing set at a slightly obtuse angle, is prevented from closing when it strikes any obstruction. The joint is riveted with a peculiarly shaped washer, which has a tendency always to keep the joint stiff. The spade is 6 inches by 7 in- ches, and is slightly curved, and the pick is 41„ inches long, the total length, with shaft, being 2 feet. It is carried in a frog, and the curved portion fits closely round the body—Army and Med- ical Journal. —max,® A WINDSOR LADY'S APPEAL To All Women: I will Bend tree with full instruction, my hone treatment rMcb poetively cures Leucorrhoea, Ulceration, Diaplaca'ments, Falling oQ tho Woatb, Pain- ful or Irregular pesdoda.

"Tbe reason why 7 am a bachelor," said Mr. Green to a St. Louis reporter, "is that I'm so big that I can't disguise myself sufficiently to pose as a poor man. In my own person I'nz afraid of being married for the wrong reason. "1'm afraid lest, like the lady with the doughnuts, I may be the victim of ul- terior and insulting motives. "The lady I refer to, after assisting a tramp, received another visit an hour later from the sante man. "'Madam,' he said, 'you gave me three doughnut's a while back. Would you mind adding another oue -Co make it four?' "'Gladly," said the lady, all smiles, and she wrapped a doughnut in a news- paper and handed it to him. `So you like my doughnuts, do you?' " `No, madam, it isn't that,' said the tramp; `me and some friends down in the holler wants to have a gauze of quoits.' "—Minneapolis Journal. SANATIVE ANTISEPTIC SHAVING. Not only is Cutieura Soap, assisted by Cutieura Ointment, unrivalled for pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin and hair, but it is a. luxury for shampooing, bathing and especially for shaving. It possesses in modified form the medicinal, emollient, sanative and antiseptic properties of Cutieura Oint- ment, while supplying a firm, moist, non- drying, creamy and fragrant lather. Af- ter shaving, and before bathing the face, gently anoint the shaven parts with a bit of Cutieura Ointment. This method renders frequent shaving a pleasure and commends itself to men with tender, easily irritated skins, and as a prevent- ive of iritation and inflammation of the hair glands which, if neglected, often leads to obstinate and disfiguring erup- tions. m.e Lightning Doesn't Strike in Sleep. Dr. Brewer should have advised those who are nervous in a thunderstorm to go not merely to bed but to sleep. There is a popular tradition that lightning will not kill any one who is asleep. The folk lore of lightning is extensive and peculiar. According to one school, the splinters of a tree struck by light- ning are an infallible specific for the toothache. But the most pleasing su- perstition is that which used to be cher- ished by the boys of a Yorkshire vil- lage who belie -red that if they mentioned the lightning immediately after a flash the seat of their trousers would be torn out. No boy could be induced to make the experiment.—London Chronicle. V every housekeeper would use Wilson's.

During the perse- cutious of the Christians under Nero and ()Sher Roman emperors, . the cata- combs were used for hiding places.

BIRDS OF CIIEVil ZEALAND. Almost All. Killed by Imparted Vermin r -New Protection .Laws. Nearly every native bird in New Zea- land will be absolutely protected by law this year. The animals proteetien aet provides that 1910 mid is every third year .after that nay at the discretion of the Governor in Council be declared a close season for native gime. The ab- sence of bird life in New Zealand is al- ready most noticeable. T. Mackenzie, a Member of the Government, as the re- sult of a motet journey througls the country writes: "Between Nelson and. Hokitika hardly any bird life at all is to be met with; the imported vermin ,have done their work of (bird destruction only too well In the region from Boss to the south, however, the tui and. the pigeon are to be seen, making bright the landscape with their presence. "At the Forks I` mat a. gentleman who teok a great interest in bird life on the coast, and he told tae that the weka, kiwi and kawakawe had disappeared, and he believed that dIte, stoats and weasels killed every bird in the country. He had himself loat a half-grown black swan which lie had reared. He had found it lying on its beck with a gash in its throat. "The stoats and wea.els were often seen hi the neighborhor'd of the lakes where the ducks .made their nests, and it was suspected: thz1 'lie vermin paid due attention to their eg e."—lrroin the Adelaide Ad:•ertiser, a -o HAVE YOU REMEMBERED (BRED ITP When packing for the country cottage, don't forget your box of Zam-Butt!

One of the comical characters in Washington during the war was jolly old Isaac Newton, the Philadelphia Quaker whom Lincoln appointed Com- missioner of Agriculture, a. new office just created by Congress. Newton, who tried and at the same time amused the President, had made his reputation on a dairy farm; beyond this he knew lit- tle of agriculture. Searing which I could not refrain from asking Lincoln .why he bad ap- pointed such an ignorant man to the office. "Because I think he's competent en- ough to attend to all the agriculture we will have till the war is ended„" was the answer.—From the Metropoli- ta Magazin. College Ways in 1824. College men of other days were not at all "greasy grinds" if one is to judge from the appendix to a very diverting little book entitled "Gradus ad Canta- brigiam" (referring to the English Cam- bridge), published in 1824. The authors, in giving hints to freshmen how best to enjoy themselves during their stay at the university, enjoin them as follows: "Cut lectures, go to chapel as little as possible, dine in hall seldom more than once a week, give `gaudies' and `spreads,' keep a horse or two, go to Newmarket, attend the six mile bottom, drive a drag, wear varmint clothes and well built coats, be up to asmoke, a runt one at Barnwell, a regular go at New Zealand, a staunch admirer of the bottle and care a damn for no one."—Baily's Maga- zine. Fitness for Military Duty. It hast long been well known that the rural population is superior to the pop- ulation of the .cities, and the population of the 'agricultural eastern Provinces of Germany 'is superior to that of the man- ufacturing western Provinces in regard to fitness for military service. The for- ty-one large cities, which contain one- fifth of the entire populntiou of Ger- many, furnish only 17 per oent. of its soldiers. Berlin makes the poorest show- ing of all, furnishing only 30 per cent. of the contingent which it should fur- nish in accordance with its population: Hamburg furnishes 42 per cent. of its proper share. Bremen 05 per cent, Al- sace-Lorraine 78 per cent; The deficien- cies are made up by the eastern Pro- vinces. East Prussia, furnishes 140 per cent. of its proper share,.
