Some farmers are saying that the Government has no right to try to make thele discard their scrub str-e,and use a pure-bred of good qual- ity.

Then Llo:vd George leaned forward in his chair, and in a quiet voce, 'sett': r "Gentlemen, have you forgotten that your sons at this moment are being 1 -killed -kith -;i in hundreds and thou - ands? They are being killed by German guns for watt of British I guns. Your sons, your brothers- boys at the dawn of manhood -they are being wiped out of •life in thou- sands. Gentlemen, give me guns. Don't think of your trade secrets. Think of your children. Help them, Give me those guns!" This was no stage acting, says the writer. His voice broke, his eyes Vied with tears, and his hand, hold- ing a piece of notepaper before him, shook Iike a leaf. There was not a roan who heard him who was not deeply touched, and the result was that the trade secrets were pooled, and the supply of munitions hastened. But now, we are told, luxury and cynicism have invaded loyd George. He is no longer the radical, the re- former. Something of tfie same sort has happened to Mr. Asquith. He,' too, grew salt in power, we are as- sured. His Puritanism and single- ness ness of purpose fell by the wayside after he became Prime Minister. He IS represented aa a man of impres- sive appeiarance, but moderate ability. �� He never had an idea of his owls. , He would have made a noble judge; he' might have been a powerful statesman; he could never have been a great man." .It is not easy to understand how a man with never an idea of his own could have been a powerful statesman, though it is conceivable he might have been a noble judge. Nor does Arthur Balfour impress the anonymous 'gentleman much more favorably. We are told: "He has said nothing, done nothing, writ- ten nothing which lives in the hearts ofhis countrymen." Politically, he is hail fellow well met, ready to pat the world on the shoulder, but in private life he sees to it that the world: does not enter even the re- motest of his lodge gates. Mr. Bal- four is cold,- aloof and without emo- tion. George Wyndham once said of ' him: "The trouble about Arthur= Balfour is this: He knows: that there's been one ice age, and he thinks_ there's going to be another." We do not believe that either "A .Gentle- man • entle-man' With a Duster" or Mr. Wynd- ham does justice to Balfour. Both pass over his great strength of char- acter and his strong sente of public duty and patriotism. It may be that these gialities are taken for granted with British statesmen. He deals rather more gently with Winston Churchill, and quotes Lord Fisher,,who said: "You may not like Winston, but he has go. the heart of a lion." The three things he loves are war, politics and himself, but he .is by no' means a noisy, shameless, truculent and pushing person. On the contrary, he is at heart a modest man, and a delicate and suffering •man. Lord Robert Cecil is repre- sented as a man of fine heart and intelligence, but too gentle for ,the `fray.

The old saying that "like begets like" goes to a certain extent, but in_ using a grand sire one is one always sure of what one is going to get in the off- spring because, in the use of an ani- mal with several infusions of blood, there is always a breaking- up and segregation of characters which does not get anybody any place in the de- velopment of their herd. -Whereas, in the use of the pure-bred of good qual-' ity there is always a chance of any-, resulting service being better than the parents. Pure-bred sires of good breeding are endowed with/ a char- acter or power called prepotency, which means that an animal has the power to stamp on his offspring seine desirable characteristic more than some other. When we consider that the grade sire is likely to throw any- thing in the way of calves, and the scrub pure-bred has no prepotency, there is a reason that this )class of animal should be discarded as soon as circumstances will permit and good ones substituted. --J.

NEW PORTRAITS pF BRITISH STATESMEN A writer, who calls himself "A Gentleman With. a Duster," has re- cently given his impressions of some of the leading. British statesmen with whom, one gathers, he has been on rather intimate terms. It is because the anonymous author conveys the idea that he is not giving second-hand impressions that his book is being more generally read and discussed in England thanianoat beaks 'of the :sort, which are free from scandalous rev- elations. But it cannot be said that his views are greatly different from those generally prevailing, except in some details. For instance, he - de- scribes Lloyd George as,' a man who has had greatness thrust upon him, and who has been unable to live up to it. He evidently suppprts the Lib- eral view of the British Prime Min- ister, that he was a very great man in the early days, but that when he began to conspire against Asquith, and especially when he surrounded himself with Conservatives, he de- teriorated. Harsher critics contend that Lloyd George is to -day what he always was, a keen, brilliant and rattier unscrupulous politician inter- ested first an& foremost in his own success and prosperity. The writer relates an incident not hitherto published - of the means by which Lloyd George sometimes gets his end, his ability to turn hard- headed men of affairs to way of thinking. In the 'early • ays of the war there was a conference in Whitehall of Government represen- tatives and the great manufacturers of armament. The Government THE MISERY OF BACKACHE Removed by Lydia E.

EATS FISH THAT IS SEVEN YEARS: OLD An electrical process for the pres- ervation of fish for an indefinite•, period, and in such a manner as to maintain all its nutritive properties is an invention of lh' fish merchant in Grimsby, England,1 that has attracted considerable attention. The fresh fish Is apparently sub- mitted to -a process which instantly drives every partile of moisture out of it, and makes it as dry as a bone, and as hard as al rock. In this con- •oition it is irnpervrious to the ravages of time, yet on !being immersed in water for three drays it becomes like fresh fish again. 1 While the sclieme has not bieen demonstrated in this country, the in- ventor has sec red patents in all countries, and i apparently satisfied with the success of his invention. The value of the invention, it is suggest- ed, lies in the t fact that the great quantities of fislii caught, and hitherto wasted, or throiwn back Into the sear because of a lut or because of 110 Market at all, can be rapidly cured and made avail ble for sale through- out the country' at a cheap rate. In its dried form it seems the fish can be milled 'oto a fine flour, which, the inventor says, upon being mixed with water asseimes the properties of the original fish. To demonstrate the efficacy of this scheme the inventor recently dined upon cod caiught seven years ago, find dried ini. his early experiments. WHY A E SOME PEOPLE COLOR-BLIND?
