The centre of the country is great plateau, rising from 2,000 t 6,000 feet, and crossed by frequen chains of mountains, while a loft mountain barrier bounds it on th north and_south. In the whole Persian Empire ther were -in 1910 only six miles of rail way, and of roads only four, thei total length amounting 'to fewer th 800 miles. There is only one clavi able river, the Karun, that flows int the head of the Persian, GuIf, an on this sea the so-called' ports ar merely- open roadsteads, at wide cargo cannot be landed in. stoma weather. The merchandise of Persia is prae ticaily carried on the backs of camels mules and donkeys, a slow and ex pensive mode of transport, and th traveler usually rides through th. country following the tracks made b the passage of caravans during th centuries, The Persian is of Aryan stock, an has the words as ourself for father, mother, brother and=daughter (pidar, fnadar, bradar' and dukhtar), and the construction of • his language is like that of - English. He is a handsome, well-built man, with regular features and fine black, eyes, his complexion being ho darker than that of an Italian. In manner he is most courteous; he is quick, alert, fond of conversation and dis- cussion and has rightly been called the Frenchman of the East. J ersia has bed& a Mohammedan country from the time of its conquest by the Arabs, in 641; but some thou- sands of Zoroastrians, the old lire - worshippers, still remain in the land, and have been much persecuted.- Many Persians have no home life in the usual sense of the word. A Persian house is divided into the big room, or men's apartments, and the auderoom, or part consecrated to the *women. A strong aoor, set in a high blank wall,. gives entrance to a nar- row passage that leads into a square courtyard on which open° ` several rooms. Here the ,men live, and here they usually entertain their friends, while their women dwell in rooms set round an inner courtyard, the only entrance to which is through the barooni • As a Persian is instructed ,from 'earliest youth that _a woman's advice is of no account -In fact the.priests tell him that he had better do the exact opposite of what a woman counsels-- it can be understood that aa a rule he has no exalted opinion of his wife or wives, and seldom turns to them for companionship. • When death approaches, if he has performed his daily prayers, kept the Fast of Raanazan, visited the mosque on Friday, and given alms to the poor, a Persian has- no doubts as to his reception in the next world and dies in a happy confidence of attains Ing to the paradise promised by the prophet to all his faithful followers.

Food ferments and sours, creating the distressing gas which distends the stomach and hampers the normal functions of the vital internal organs, often affecting the heart. It le the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordinary diigestive aids which have no neutralizing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated i1;agnesia and take a •.teaspoonful in a quarter • glans of water right 'after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat right out of the body, sweeten the stomach, neutralize the excess acid and prevent its formetlon and there is no sourness or pain. Bisurated Magnesia .{in powder or tablet form -=never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach; inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who en3oy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. SOME WASHING WAYS The custom of washing clothes in a running stream --usually with - - a "beetle," a sort of wooden club with which they were belabored -has died out in most parts of Ireland, though most people who have reached Middle age may remember seeing country- women washing garmetns and house linen in this fashion. Sometimes the "beetle" was not used, but the women and girls, removing their shoes and stockings, trod on the clothes in the stream - a practice -which is still maintained in the Highlands and- in some parts of France. "The dolly" was an improvement upon the "beetle" or wooden "mallet - beater," but was generally used in a e . tub. In olden days, women often tucked up their skirts and' danced up - d on or kneaded the clothes in the tub with their bare feet, to remove the dirt. When washed at the riverside, or by a pond or lake, the clothes were often beaten on wood or stones. Sometimes a washing slab of wood, stone or- metal, either fiat or corru- gated, was employed, the washing be- ing vigorously scrubbed upon it. In ancient times, horrible to relate, clothes were often washed in the springs or wells which supplied the water for drinking purposes. In 1647 the corporation of Leicester forbade women to wash clothes in the com- mon wells of the town! The supply of family linen sent to the wash was known as "the buck" as readers of Shakespeare will remember, for the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, endured many things when he was hidden in the "buck basket," full of dirty clothes. "To buck" was an old word meaning to "wash" -"to wash a buck" was to wash a tub of clothes, the washing tub was known as a "buck pan" and to "be bucked" meant to be soused with water -a 'very ; different meaning to the modern slang expres- sion, "bucked up" or "feeling awfully bucked." "Buck ashes" was the lye used in bygone days when washing powders were unknown, tirid all soap was made t .hoarse. At Lyne, in 1.608, an order by court was made that "None do wash their bucks in the street" (a stream of running water which supplied the town), under a penalty of six and eightpence. At that period the laun- dresses in big house used to lay a- side the clean linen with "sweet pow- der, sweet herbs and other sweet things," in order to perfume them. Lavender and sweet woodruff, rosea- ary and thyme were among the aro- matic herbs employed for this purpose and in many cases there was a great V WVII Ott RUBIES. 36nufaetured Ones Are Usually • Inferior. Many people will be surprised to know that even during the war deal- ers in precious stones did quite good business, say's Pearson's Weekly. The reason for this is that while ordinary investments may, in tunes of stress; decrease in value, the pur- chaser of jewels has a fairly secure method of hoarding up his wealth. The diamond merchant's art re- quires more knowledge and skill than any other profession, and even the most cunning dealer As some- tithes : liable to be caught napping. You can take two rubies that are the same in every respect -,weight, cutting and lustre -to a dealer to be valued, and after a few minutes with as lens or microscope, he may tell you that one is worth practically, nothing and the other a fortune. If you looked at them under the glass You 'would see that both have minute air bubbles in them, but in one stone these bubbles will be dis- torted and will seem to flow along definite , lines, while in the other they will be spherical, and will, per- haps, be arranged about the centre. This is just the all-important differ- ence; the former was mined in Bur- ma, while the latter was made in the laboratory. The 'Burma ruby may be inferior to the manufactured one, - which has been produced by artificial heat in a blowpipe; yet you will have to pay ten times the price for it, simply be- cause it was dug from the earth. Paste stones are readily distin- guishable from the genuine by the tact that all spurious gems of this sort are soft; they can be scratched 4t' a piece of quartz, and no -real gem of the transparent sort can.

Then the dhoby gets into the long- stone tub and treads on the clothes till the water, which is con- stantly poured in and out, ceases to look dirty..

Then the clothes are spread out to dry on the bushes. Many plants have saponaceous or soap -like properties, including the soap -wort or "Bouncing Bet," with its pretty pale pink flowers. The juice snakes a sort of lather with hot water. A number of foreign plants have similar properties, a&I were used instead of soap in olden times, 5 , and in lands where that substance is unknown or hard to obtain the juice of such trees and herbs are still em- ployed in cleansing clothes, etc. - i Incorporated in 1855 CAPITAL AND RESERVE $9,000,000 Over 120 Branches The M�isoiits Bank BUSINESS SERVICE Many of r customers whostarted ana small way,have nw a well established business through the as;tance and co-operation of this Bank over a period of years.

BRANCHES IN THIS DISTRICT Brucefield St. Marys Kirkton Exeter Clinton Hensall Zurich- THE urichv THE REASON WHY Why does rain make the air fresh -The main answer to this question must be that the rain in conning down through the air drives the dust and other impurities which are in the air before it, and so cleans the air and makes it absolutely clean. In addition to this it is now stated that since very often rain is produced by elect' trical changes in the air, and that these electrical changes produce a gas called ozone, which bas a de- lightfully fresh smell, it is this ozone that makes us say the air has be- come fresh. The air above our cities ie‘ almost constantly filled with smoke, contain- .ingrainvarious poisonous gases, and these are driven away by the falling , Then, too, there is always a greater or- less accumulation of dirt, garbage and other things in the cities which give off ofi ensive smells constantly, but which we do not notice always because we become Used to them. When the rain comes down it washes the streets and destroys these smells and that makes the . air fresh and de- lightful to take into the lungs. in the country the air is more nearly pure all the time because the things which spoil the air in the city are not present. What makes the knots in boards'? -We find knots in the board which we notice in a lumber pile or in any other place where boards happen to be because the smaller limbs which grow away from the larger limbs of trees grow from the inside a swell as the outside of the tree. When you see a knot in a board it means that before the tree was cut down and the log sawed up into boards, a limb was growing out from the inside of the tree at the spot where the knot occurs. You will also find that the wood in the knot is harder generally than the rest of the board. This is because more strength is required at the base of a limb and in the part of the limb which grew inside the tree than in other parts, for . the limb musthe strong enough to support not only -the limb itself, but aiso the smaller limbs which grow out of it. Why do we count in tens? -When man, even in his uncivilized state, found it necessary to count, the only implements at hand were his fingers and toes, and as he had ten toes and tenfingers he naturally began count- ing in tens and has been doing so ever since. When we to -day count on our fingers we confine ourselves to our fingers leaving our toes stay in our shoes wherethey naturally belong. But the first men who counted Used both fingers and toes and so he was able to count twenty before he had to begin over again, while .little chil- dren to -day, when they count with their fingers, must begin` where they started after they reach ten. -The Sterling Bank of Varna, which for the past ten years has been located in Beatty's old store beside their new one, intends moving across the corners and will occupy Mr. Hain- well's Ettore, formerly occupied by Horner and Lags. -The work of pulling down the south section of Messrs.
