The West. The meeting of the shareholders Of the British -American Lumber and Coal Company, was on the whole, a stormy one, for the very best reasons —the -failure of the company to pay who is guitly of it than the then who dividenda. The annual report, which suffers from it in the first initance." the president presented showed clearly "Madam," answered the colonel, gravely), "I feel you are right, and I that there was a slight increase in ' expenditure and a oonsidetable falling off in sales. and it needed but a little mathematical ability to, reach the con- clusion that in a comparatively short timeethe company would be bankrupt. The share -holders were thoroughly disgusted with the British Columbia end of :the business, and were on the lookout for a victim. Naturally their choice fell upon the manager. The concern failed to pay. It was the should be glad to have you address the meeting of our shareholders, called for next raonth, to discuss the ques- tion of our western business." "Do you mean Ranald's position?" asked Kate.

Thereupon Colonel Thorp rose and begged leave t� withdraw his name from the dieectoritte of the com- pany. He thought it was unwise to abandon a country ° where they had spent large sums' of money, without a thorough investigation of the situ- ation, and he further desired to enter his protest against ' the injustice of making their manager suffer for a failure for which he had in no way been • Shemin to be responsible. But the shareholders refused to even con - side? Colonel Thorp's request, and both the president and secretary exhausted their eloquence in eulogizing his value to' the company. As compromise it was finally decided to continue opera- tions in British Columbia for another. season: °Colonel -Thorp declared that the reforms and 'reorganization schemes inauguarated ' by Ranald would result in great reductions in the cost bf production, and that Ranald should be, given an opportunity to demonstrate the success or failure of his plans; and further, the political situation doubtless would be more set- tled. The wisdom of this decieion was manifested later. The spirit of unrest and dissatisfac- tion appeared again at the next annual meeting, for while conditions were im- proving, dividends were not yet forth- coming. Once again Colonel Thorp successfully championed Ranald's causecause this time insisting that a fur- ther , of two seastins be madetpro- phesying that not only would the present deficit disappear, but that their patience and confidence would be amply rewarded.

"Mike, if you please, Michael Cole, if you don't mind, and the note is from the boss, Mr. Macdonald, who has gone up the country, and can't' be here to welcome you." "Gone up the coutnry!" roared the colonel; "what the blank, blank, does he mean by going up the eountry at this particular time?" But Mr. iMichael Cole was quite un- disturbed by the colonel's wrath. "You might find the reason in the note," he said, coolly, and the colonel., glaring at him, opened the note and read: "My Dean Colonel Thorp: I am greatly disappointed in not being able to meet you.

',amp> prjr from our 1917 grain crop for seed, This will bring about a great increase in production with a minimum in- crease in labor requirements. The proper procedure is for each individ- ual farmer to make sure now, in early winter, that he has pure seed ofetrong i vitality for his spring sowing. ( The energy and vitality of seed can be ascertained only by , a germination test. Mere inspection is untrustwor- thy. Grain of very gond weight and excellent appearance is frequently ttight, and the rest so weakened ' o foul to have a considerable part kill - eel ,that the young plants are started with too • little energy to withstand bad weather, or give a high yield. A poor crop is often said to have been the re- sult of adverse conditions, when if femme seed had been sown, a satisfactory yield would have been se- cured. Tests may be inade)at home, or will be 'done free of charge up to 25 in number for tine -person, at the Seed Laboratory, Ottawa. For home tests seeds are counted and sown in boxes or cans of soil, and kept in a Warm place. For all tests, care should he taken to have them thoroughly repre- sentative of the bulk lot. When sent to the Seed Laboratory samples should be encloses' in strong manilla enve- lopeeor cotton bags, and where more than - one of a certain kind is sent, each should be marked with it distin- guishing number.

This cannot he ver- ified definitely, but the annual loss caused by the use of seed other than the best is beyond adl doubt surpris- ingly great. The present situationewith the world scarcity a cereals and the shortage of farm labor, urgently demands that the best possible selection be amide fully diverse. Kid skin furnishes the greatest quantity, although much of the so-called kid is rat or catskin. Dogskin, buckskin, And doeskin gloves are made frora sheepskin, and when: they are very thick and heavy you may be assured that the mater- ial is calfskin. Castor gloves, should be made of beaver; but, as rule, they are sheep- skin. By theway, it may not be gen- erally shown that 'chamois" skin is sheepskin. There are not enough charnelskilled in, a year to supply the world for a day. Suede (or Swedieb) gloves are made of lamb- skin, finely dressed but not glazed. • • Cedar Keeps Wonderfully. Three kinds of wood—cedar, red- wood, and cypress ---are especially durable. Because of their power to resist decay they are used more than any other kinds of wood for making shingles. It is said that red cedar never rots. Houses built of it over . 1oo years ago are practically as good now as when they were erected. A writer in The Scientific American tells of a fallen cedar that was found with roots of other trees growing on it. The age of the standing trees was estimated at about 1,500 years, which, of course, makes the fallen tree much older than that. Though It had lain on the ground all those centuries its fibre was found to be f thoroughly soundtheoughout.— 1 Pathfinder. respect? He has lost his soul! "He bas sold his birthright!

There are about three hundred kinds of mistletoe in the world, and each variety grows on the branches of trees wed ha little whit 4 or pink berries. But the pink berries are found on only the cedar -trees. The mistletoe, -unlike other plans, gets no •food directly from the ground., In- stead, it gets its nourishment from the trees on which it grows. Another curious thing about the mistletoe' is that theugh it blossoms earlier in the year than the tree on which it grows, yet the little berries do not ripen befote December. May- be this is •because it haS' to- steal its food frenn the trees. and therefore: cannot ripen early. The -very name "mistletoe" gores sotue idea -of Its significance. In Anglo-Saxon lan- guage i"raist" means gloom, and it comes 'In midwinter, the gloomiest time of the :ear. The _gathering of mistletoe was a. very important ceremony among the ancient Druid. About five days after the new moon tbey marched In state- ly procession to the forest and raised anealtar of straw beneath the finest mistletoe -bearing oak they tould find. The Arch -Druid would a.scend the oak and, with a, jeweled knife, re- move the sacred mistletoe. The others stood beneath the tree and Caught the plant upon a white cloth, for, if a portion , of it touehed the • earth, it was an omen a misfortune to the land. And this is doubtless the reason why it is still the custom tohang it from the ceiling, and why it is sup- poeed to lose its charm if it touches the floor.—St. Nicholas.
