The fishermen at Machrie Bay, Ar- ran, are securing herring in large quantities. The Duke of Argyll has presented half a ton of coal to each poor family living in Inverary. The domestic servants of Edinburgh have already contributed £1,884 to various war funds. The late John Duncan of 16 Royal Terrace, Glasgow, has left an estate valued at £66,060. Dunoon citizens are using paraffin lamps as a protest against the poor quality of the local gas. James Lindsay, solicitor, has been appointed secretary and treasurer of the school board of Inverary. The Edinburgh Town Council will use the corporation greenhouses for the growing of vegetable plants. The Edinburgh and District Ladies' Egg Committee distributed 21,926 eggs during the month of January. J. H. Martin has been eleeted a member of the Dundee Town Council to succeed the late James Perrie. Major-General Sir Robert Pringle, who was recently made a K.C.M.G., is a son of Gilbert Pringle, Stranraer. J. Scott Inglis is the newly elected president of the Master Masons' and Brickbuilders' Association of Glasgow. According to the annual report the Edinburgh Tramways System is in better condition than it has been for years. At a recent sale of yearling Ayr - shires by James Howie, of Hillhouse, an average of £87 was got for fifteen head. The Corporation of Glasgow has started the erection of twenty or thir- ty tenement buildings for the laboring and poorer classes. Painters in the Glasgow district have had their wages advanced one penny per hour, making the standard rate 111/d. per hour. Major George L. Gulland, who has received the C.M.G., was born in 1862, and is a professor of medicine in Ed- .inburgh University. Future of -Canada Depends on Traiat- ing • of Her Coming Citizens. We believe that there is no nobler calling than that of the teacher. And we do not niean especially the advanc- ed teacher, the learned professor with his trailing degrees. We mean, above all, the thousands of women all over this broad Canada of ours teach- ing thousands of little children the es- sence of life. Those women, with their humble, constant, patient, ill -re- warded industry, are making the future of this nation and the future of the world. It depends upon them primarily • whether democracy shall work out to slow, enduring triumph or to gigantic disaster. They are 'conscious of the vastness of their task and try to perform it worthily. No doubt many of them are careless and negligent -and think mainly of themselves; but the great mass labor tirelessly and with daily prayers that they may put into those children's hearts some little seed that will go on and prosper to the glory of God. What the difficulties are no one knows who has not closely watched the effort. The children are so often unresponsive and wayward and in- tractable and easily misled, rarely if ever appreciative of the care and love bestowed upon them. The parents are seldom thoughtful to praise, and are often ready to find fault, convinc- ed that, if Willie does notado well, anyone but Willie—or themselves— is to blame. The reward is meagre in dollars; in ;hanks, more meagre still. The teach- er must .find it ehiefiy in the conscious- ness of having done her best, and that is a consciousness often denied to those by whom the very best Is ;lone, Only -rarely does one among hundreds of pupils who come later to look at their teacher's work with love and gratitude think to tell her of it. But what a ray of sunshine that means! If you have prospered in the -world and are ]Sappy and success- ful; and feel that you owe it very largely to her who formed your char- acter' in school, write and tell her so. You will give more pleasure than you can imagine. Willie Only Resting, He had yelled steadily for twenty mit Utes. Then he stopped, and all .was quiet. "I am glad to see you have stopped crying, Z 'illie," said his mother. "I ain't stopped," exclaimed Wil- lie, indignantly. "I was only restin'i Y eatiaaaaaa."

The slim sil- houette, with its straight, clinging lines will continue to be first in favor, as it has been all through the winter, but the new barrel skirt will give wo- men a chance to indulge in the bouf- fant effect, which will, doubtless, be welcomed by those who 'nave complain- ed of being tired of the eternal straight line. True to its name, the new silhou- ette is in the outline of a barrel, bulg- ing at the hips and drawn in at the 7693 Dress of Pongee Showing the New Silhouette waist and ankles. There are many ways of accomplishing this puffiness over the hips. One is by the clever IMMOMMIIMIZMINVIIMIM St ady Those Nerves!

This type of the barrel skirt is shown in the sketch, which 11- lustrates a dress of figured pongee with sleeves and belt of plain pongee in natural color. The skirt narrows down to two yards at the hem; for the narrow skirt, especially in this toren, is to come in with the spring, fasli;ign authorities says. This silhouette has also been named the "howling -pin;" and looking at the whole silhouette from shoulder to ankles, and not mere- ly from the waist downward, the name is indeed most appropriate. Perhaps the most generally favored of all fabrics this spring will be satin. It is to be used for one-piece dresses, for suits, and for sepal'ate coats. This. material will also be in demand for eveninggowns and afternoon dresses, and for these its popularity will be shared by charmeuse, which is very closely related to satin. The suits and dresses of satin will be decorated with braiding and embroidery, and much of the embroidery will carry out the Oriental colorings which are dis- tinctly in vogue this season. These patterns may be obtained from your locol McCall dealer or from The McCall Co., 70 Bond Street, Tor- onto, Ont. Dept. W a m Had Fourteen Fits Li Doe Afternoon But Ts Made Well and Strong By Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. R. J. Thompson, of Uxbridge, Tells the Story of His Terrible Trouble and Almost Miraculous Cure. Uxbridge, Ont., Apr. 2nd. (Special.) —Mr. R. J. Thompson, living near here, had fourteen convulsions in one afternoon. The doctors did not think he could live. To -day he is well •aad strong. He says Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. But let him tell his own story:. "I am delighted with Dodd's Kidney Pills," Mr. Thompson states. "I have only taken eleven boxes and I feel like myself again. "I was taken i11 very suddenly. I ate my dinner and went to take a man home. I just got about three-quarters. of a mile when I was taken with •a con- vulsion fit. I had fourteen that after- noon and the third day I had nine o== 0otors said I• could 'not live and if I did I would never be able to do anything again, as I. had chronic Bright's Disease. But thank God I am. doing my own work once again, by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills." • Bright's Disease is the most advanc- ed stageof kidney disease. It can be avoided if the earlier stages of kidney trouble are remedied by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. BRITAIN'S NEW INDUSTRIES. Leather Goods, Toys, Chinaware, Now Made in United Kingdom. Leipzig, Germany, has lost its fam- ous fair. Bustling British traders have grabbed it holus bolus and estab- lished it in London town, says a Can- adian in England. Germany had al- most a monopoly o? the leather trade before the war. But you should see the splendid 'display of leather goods, purses, handbags, picture Mimes, writing pads, toilet and jewel -cases they are turning out in English fac- tories these days dressed and in suede effects—not a shoddy article in the show. The daintiest 'Viennese pigskin jewelcase could not vie with those which British workers are now mak- ing. Tin soldiers—whole divisions of them—presently caught the visitor's eye as he wandered among the streets of booths which filled a huge section of the building. Grenadiers, artillerymen, infantry, army service, engineers, and army medical corps painted•in the bright colors of their own regimental full dress stood among cannon and howitzers, past which squadrons of Lifeguardsmen and Hussars charged with supreme disregard for machine guns. Toys to delight the heart of the most fastidious child abounded in this section. One dealer exhibited .a rocking -horse whose front legs work- ed like a pendulum, causing the ani- mal to progress in stately manner about a nursery as each see -saw of the back rockers lifted the forelegs free. What rafts of wooden animals, what array of dolls, whose china heads, hands or feet are no longer German as of yore. Toy telegraph keys, and one with an electric buzzer for teach- ing ambitious youngsters wireless, were among the features. Numerous manufactures in which, owing to indifference, the Hutt had `almost acquired control of the world's markets, Were here •exhibited, And 'the British article is almost invariably a far better looking and more durable affair than the cheap German . goods. Germans are a cheap nation anyway and they like shoddy goods. British a. SAWYERS, BOX MAKERS & LABORERS WANTED FIRSTBROOK BROS., Limited 283' King Street East, Toronto brushes, hair brushes, clothes brushes, and even fine paint brushes for art- ists were among the displays. In china, England has always been supreme in both the very best and the very cheapest, In the medium and largely dealt in grades, Germany was a strong competitor, but from this line Germany will henceforth be debarred. England's .potteries are determined to even here outdo her. Quite likely the white buttons on your shirt or your aprons are made of 'compressed milk, treated with acids:' Germany had control of this mammoth industry before 1914. The Huns called the material "Galilith." England's chemists have discovered a ,,good commercial process of mak- ing this material. It has illimitable uses., Brush backs, chessmen, but- tons by the hundred million, check- ers, poker chips are made from it, and numerous good ivory imitations. Even the, colored ivory -appearing ornament- ation and the pretty green jade-look- in'g edging on jewel and ladies' small dressing cases are generally nothing less than this substance. Lead pencils are another line of manufacture once in the hands of the Huns to 'a very large extent. Remem- ber the Faber pencils? English mak- ers are fashioning as good a pencil as ever the Hun turned out. England is eonsufeing all the present output, while China takes the culls. One dealer told me he was full up with or- ders for the next four months. Stich are some of the many things to be seen at the third annual fair of British industries, held under the au- spices of the Board of Trade. Oats should be treated for smut be- fore planting.

Keep house plants as close to the glass as possible, so they will have all available light, and turn them around frequently to prevent their growing to one side. Do not let plants suffer for water or moisture, the sun drys out the soil in, the pots quickly at this season. Overhead watering or syringing will be beneficial On pleasant days admit fresh air freely, avoiding cold draughts striking the plants. If insects appear they must be kept down by spraying with insecticides. Liquid manure can be used to ad- vantage now that the plants are be- ginning to grow, particularly for plants likely to get pot bound. Water seedlings carefully that have been started in the house. Do not keep them too warm, and give sufficient air to make them stocky. Thin the plants out so they will not become drawn; that is tall and spindly, and transplant as soon as they are of sufficient size into shallow boxes of soil, giving each plant sufficient room to develop.
