It will be up to parliament to decide whether the Borden government wants an extension to *do good or do as as it has been doing --spending a million dollars a day, a considerable part of it being flung to the birds.

England has settlers in the neighborhood of Fin gal. Being a man of means he farm- ed somewhat extensively for those days, and when ,market prices did not suit him he was in a position to hold bis products until another season. One year the float killed all the wheat in the Talbot'setilement. Neil McAI- pine had three thousand bushels stored in his granaries. At' first he exulted in the prospect of selling his wheat profitably, but one day when he was in St.Thonias he suddenly saw matters in, a new light Word was brought to hi:n that the local metier wish- to see him. When Mc- Alpine went to the -mill the miller said: "You have some wheat, haven't you?" "I have three thousand bushels . " The miller then made him an offer which startled McAlpine Wiwi" he exclaimed, "that is more than you- can: get for it after it has been ground into flour. What are you going to do with this wheat?" • "I ani going to sell it for seed grain to the settlers," It dawned on Neil McAlpine what that would mean and as he told about itafterwards he said that the cold sweat broke out on him. His grain might be used to extort blood -money from the struggling settlers who were threatened by the menace of famine. His mind was made up at once, He hurried home and developed his plan. The next day being the Sabbath, and e being an eider of the kirk, he dressed and went to the church early, Standing beside the gate he whispered to -each pioneer as he passed through: "You can get seed grain at my place -bushel for bushel. For each bushel you take at seed time you will bring me back a bushel after harvest" He madethis oiffer to every mem- ber of the Presbyterian Church.

M. el Some years ago, Dr, Hugh MacCal- Ium was called to Shedden, a village in the Talbot settlement, on a consul- ation , When returning home, he vas walking up and down on the rail- ay- platform waiting for a train, when he noticed a little old man keeping step with him and looking up at him curiously. The big doctor stopped and asked kindly: - "Is there anything I can do for you?" The little old pian shook his head, then exclaimed in a brogue which I will not attempt to repreduce: "If I 'didn't know that he were dead, I would think that you were Captain Storms." "You mean Neil McAlpine," replied the doctor. "Well, I am his grand- son, and they say that I resemble him." "You are the dead spit of hint." IIt then occurred to the doctor that €-- he had a chance to hear the story of: how Neil. McAlpine saved the settle. rnent, by one who was alive at the time, so he asked him: , "Do you remember the time when Neil McAlpine save the settlement? "I do that." "Come and sit down and tell r'ne about it."-' The old roan then told how his 'father had come from Ireland with a Large family of young children and took alarm in the wilderness. The Best year he was only able to clear a small piece of land in which he plant- ed turnips, and all the following win - ler the family bad nothing to eat but turnips. The old man, who was tell- ing the story, was a young boy, at the time ` and he remembered well how his father got the seed grain from Neil Alpine. When he got home with it he also had a bag of flour that I Net McAlpine had given him so that his children might,have bread. He also had an jug of buttermilk that Neil McAlpine's wife had given - 'him so that their mother might make secne?;, and a jug of molasses for the children to eat with the scones. The old man told how bis. mother baked atonce, and he added: e "I ate $b much that I was so sick at 4 o'clock in the morning that they gave me a dose of castor oil. Oh, I will never -forget the time when Neil McAlpine saved the settlement." He also went on to tell that on the :text day the priest. came to their little house in the wilderness His mother was a, prod woman when she was able to place before hint the wheaten bread. When the priest saw it he exclaimed: t "Woman, woman, where did you gait the wheaten bread ?" ;3he told him how .Neil McAlpine had given them the seed fgrain and the flour. As the priest seated him- self at the table he crosser' himself and said reverently: ' "God bless that old heretic, Neil McAlpine." This remark struck Dr. -McCallumand he said to the mane "You were Catholics were you not?" "We were." "But Neil McAlpine was a. Presby- 1 :an .,, Drawing himself up to his full eight the little old man exclaimed: "On Sundays he was a Presbyterian, hilt on week days he was a neighbor,' Men with the soul of Neu McAlpine can do to -day for Canada and the Empire as great a work as he did for the Talbot settlement. Let them see to it that any man that can use seed grain has a full supply, even though it has to be given on the "bushel -for - bushel plan." That will do more to increase production than anything E than can be done by the cities or by the Government, though they too, can help. 1 O.

It is the opinion of the best medi- cal authorities after long observa- tion, that nervous diseases are more common and more serious in the spring than at any other time of the year. Vital changes in the system, after long winter months, may cause spring weakness and weariness from which most people suffer as the re- st* of indoor life, in poorly ventil- ated and often overheated buildings. Official records proved that in. April and May neuralgia, St, Vitus dance, epilepsy and other forms of nerve troubles are at their worst, and that then, more than any other time, a blood -snaking, nerve restoring tonie is needed, The antiquated custom of taking purgatives in the spring is useless, for the system really nods strength- I .sronto t writes : "I take ; ening, while purgatives only gallop sit they may- not.
