creditable to one William C. Cala,
'little knows/ in his own dtay and less
enerrierribered in Ours, but tfhe man
who actually made P. T. Barnum a
'circus eatable. '
P. T, Baum, Wb C. -Coup and Dan
'Ceske% became partners in a pro-
jected cercus leenture, and in the win -
ricer of 1871-72, Coup came forward
with elaborate pians for transportleg the whole colossal aggregation
ton a sp,e,cial railroad train in order
to move it 100 miles or so each night.
For ince Barn-um—the exploiter of
tee new and the novel—was nonplus-
sed. When be did get his 'breath back
he declared that Coup had him head-
- ed ,for liebe:r financial ruin. •
'En the spring of 1872, "P. T. Barn -

a- ionary he also had ,an eye for de-

vesed inclined slbe,e1 runs on, which to
load and unload heavy cage and- bag-
gage wagons from the end of a
string of fleet cars. Sliubberst and

thought him of steel elites to fit be-

Circus elephants, camels, horses and
other led stock were entrained- each
night and -detrained 'each mOreing. by
meats of gangplanks s-pecially de-
signed for the -purpose.
„ Not content with perfecting the
world's first real daces train, Coue
did one more thing with railroads.
He originated h,alf-fare circus day ex-
eursions• which 'brought thousands- to
each towne on the day of exhibition.
Meanerleile Barnum continued, in
eapularity With the circus, the cireus ('Condensed from Collier's', The Na -

Bailey lee to 'melon of the two shows
and sin..„.1881 the wagons, stock ears
and flats that carried the show bore
the pretentious title of "Barnum &
Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth."
Then Barnum, in the =team of
1881, sent his agents to Europe with
aes.. instructions to .buy anything big.
Their answer was Jumbo. the World-
famous umbrella -eared African ele-
. Once ecquireld, it was decidled that
Jumbo *as notetlo tree/el as an o-rdin-

twee no wise dike an ordinary stock

with sliding doors, :for the huge (acn-
e, palit'e entrance a-nd exit but its sides
were oar/yelled in the best of woods
. and oreat,ely painted. The ends were
leomplete with open platforms like a
regular parlor car of tJhe eighties and
the vehicle was ventilated by a ,merni-
,
toe top. Yes, Jumbe travelled in
state.
In 1885, the BarnaM & Bailee' cdx'-

Maine over the Maine Central Rail -

Scientific tests have shown that

Avoid these faulty meals by add-

The "bulk" in ALL -BRAN is often
more effective than that found in
fruits and vegetables as it does not

Kellogg's ALL -BRAN may be

Sheep -Dipping Time
In recent years there has been a
remarkable improvement in the Wool
elip of Canada, due in a large arms -
:lire to regulate dipping of the sheep
and more careful feeding methods,.
There are two external parasites
commoe to tsheep, namely, ticks' an,d
lice. iSheep ticks are recognized
being the most eommon Pest, but
beth ticks and lice ceueserious lose
of wool and give the flock a velrynee-
sightly eptpearance. These pests !sap
the vitality of the ewe flock and
young lernbs, reducing their condi-
tion. In slightly affected flocks, the
ravages of the peets are net , so evi-
dent, but cases have been known
aeheire deeith has eats:ghee thrteught
heavy infestation. Dipping is the
precaution and cure.
Dipping time, or at' least the best
time for dipping, bee arrived because
sheep should be treated immecli•ate-
ly after shearing. Nowadays, with
the &Went ef modern- 'arsenic powder
dips, dipping is a simple task and, all
necessary information is easily ob-
tainable from the„Dosni,nlion and Pro-
vincial Departmenits' !of Agriculture
and from the ,Ca,nadiari Co-operative
Weal Growlers. For a. small flock it
is Met necessary to eenstruct an elab-

The most hopeful point .of attack in
the prevention of deafeese is, in ehild-
ho•oce. There is no doubt "but,. that
child ,health is the founidation for
aduilt health 'Thie is as true of the
ears ,ael eit ii, of other parts of the
bode,„ '
The euter ear may suffer from any
of the conditions which afflict the ex-
ternal parte of the body. An old
and slound maxim is to the effect that
nothing senaele'r ethan the elbow
should be -,pla,eed in the ear.. Any
injure' to the canal of the outer ear
may result in a boil, which, inc this
situation, is pare:clearly painful; and
net 'w'ith'out danger. . •
It is in the middlei
ear, located m-•
medeately 'befhind the ear -drum, that
most of the .trouble starts -wh-ich
leads to loss ef-heateing. The . Middle
ear is eonneeted tby. a narrow tube
to the beck of the nese and. throat,
and because of this' close contact, it
may be said that the health ol the,
middle ear is d,e,pendent upon the
health of the nese and othroats .
The first step towards the preser-
vation ,of heating is to prevent, in s�
far as t is is possible, . recurrent
colds in 1 hild•ren, and to ti -eat etude
celds as C do occur by •auttirig • the

Diseebee,c1 tonsils and enlarge aden.ciels,
should be removed. Ineection 'ill the
nose :and throat is readily commtni-
embed; via , the Eustaehian tube, to
the middle ear. -
The ,peseage lof infection is fadili-
eated in those who dose the nostrils
and blow the nose hard, for sueh,
blowing practically forces material
feerm the aceee arie tthroat into the
Etstachian. tube. Nasal douches itay
aet in the same way, andbecause of
this danger, th-ey should not be used
unless as and 'w'hen preetcribed by a
physician. The most genteel pressure
must never be exceeded or else in-
fection may be washed up into the,
middle ear.
Infection of th-e Middle ear-the•se-
caited •abslces,sed ear -is practically
alerays preceded by some infection of
the nose and throat. The .first symp-
tom ie pain. Earache calls for

providing drainage for the infected

!Many seem to fe e th tat an inci-
