It is estimated to amount to 56 p. c„ which reduces the acreage under this crop in Ontario from 630,200 acres as sown last fall to 277,200 acres, the area to be harvested This is the largest proportion of fall wheat winter -killed in Ontario'and the lowest acreage left for harvesting since the records were begun in 1909. In Alberta the percentage winter -killed is estimated at 10 p. c. thus reducing to 55,260 acres the area of 61,400 acres sown last fall, For the whole of Canada the area sown, viz. 711,000 acres is reduced by 51 p. c. to 348,670 acres. The condi- tion of fall wheat on April 30 is also the lowest on record. viz. 52 p c. of the standard for Ontario and 59 p. c. for all the fall wheat provinces. Converted into a standard of 100 as representing the average condition on April 30 for the nine years 1909 to 1917, the condition of fall wheat for Canada on April 30, 1018, in- dicates a yield per acre of 71 per cent., Li - 29 r29 p. c, below the average of the past nine years, For Pain in. the Back Also for Swollen joints and Ankles, Con- stant Headaches, Urinary and Bladder Troubles and all Irregularities of the l{idneys. 131 TORNADO INSURANCE Important to Farmers %Insure your property against loss by whit] storm, the Dost is triftling, the best indemnity, the cheapest.

His had been a peculiar experience. Brought up by, an uncle who was a pro fessional antiquarian, the nephew road been imbued with antique ideas. Al- most from the cradle up to manhood. itis baby rattle was a relic from an old Loudon watchman, Itis toys were Ivory idols five centuries old, The house was a vast storehouse of antiques,, The books he was given to read were musty old volumes, priceless in values, but the conteuts dry, weighty and utterly im- penetrabie to the average mind. Ills training and education had won ?him a post as curator of a famous pub - lie museum. The perquisites and sal- ary were quite liberal, but Amos bad an ambition to diffuse the information he had gathered. He entered the lec- ture field in addition to his museum duties. He yearly went the rounds of learning. During the past year, how- ever, he fancied that he was following a beaten track. "There is not much new to say of the 014," he remarked more than once, "Brighten your discourse with some- thing modern as to style, then, profes- sor," suggested a close friend. Once Professor Tyndall collected all that was humorous along the lino of ancient humor. He assumed a light style in this especial work, sent the article to a journal devoted to anti- quarian features, and was frowned clown. To the mind of the erudit edi- tor the solemn dignity of age must not be invaded with trifling wit, For all that, Professor Tyndall matte the discovery that while old dyed-in- the-wool college heads nodded approv- ingiy at the delivery of time honored, hackneyed themes, the young students were distrait and bored. Again, his services were not called for so much as previously. Ile revised his old lec- tures, took the tattered, eriss-crossed manuscripts to a city copyist, and placed in the liantls of Miss Lettie Rose the task of their trnnserlption. The neat, pretty public stenographer and typist was about his own age, un- der thirty, and her interest in his lec- tures attracted him towards her, It got to be a pleasure to Tyndall to call upon and chat with the bright eyed, pleasant faced young lady. . "I have learned so much from your lecture on 'Ancient Pninpefl,' Mr. Tyn- dall," said Lettie Rose quite enthusi- !astically one day. "flow very interest- ing your profession must be—always surrounded by mementoes of ages long since past, author, lecturer and es - pert. I have finished copying the lee- ture you are to deliver next week, and I copied also 'Humor of the Ancients,' Mr. Tyndall, I thought most of that" "Fou did?" questioned the professor dubious as to the literary taste of his amanuensis. "Yes, professor," declared Lettie doughtily. "I mean as to its entertain- ing qualities. You will pardon me for expressing my poor, inexperienced opinion, but if I were a young Man at college that article would give me a most pleasant hour," "11'm 1" commented the professor, rather dryly. "The editor I submitted It to quite—er—well, sat down on it" "Then be had no true senes of hu- mor," asserted Lettie. "It brings out a new vein In your literary ability, pro- fessor. Really, 1 would try it out some time, just to see the effect." ' "I have thought of doing just that," murmured Tyndall in his abstracted way. "Do you know I Have often won- dered if my routine lectures are not too dry and musty." "Oh! never that, professor," dis- claimed Lottie. "That friendly young lady is open- ing my eyes somewhat," reflected Tyn- dall as he left Miss Rose and she°twas, indeed, not only as to the current value of his production, but as well to a new conception of the lighter moods of life, without which existence becomes a dreary routine, A few days later. Tyndall came in a desperate hurry into the office over which IX1ss Rose preslded. "I have just time to catch a train, a quick date for a lecture. The first copy you made, please, Kiss Rose." Lettie reached in the drawer of an open desk where the copied manu- scripts lay, neatly folded. She secured the one labeled "Ancient Pompeii" taking out several others to select it from. Then she became interested in the explanation of her patron that he was to deliver a lecture at a certaiu town that evening. Tho charm of her company made Tyndall temporarily forget the urgency of the occasion, and Le1tle was so In- terested that she unconselouely mixed up the manuscripts. "I declare!" spoke the professor ab- ruptly, glancing at his watch, and he sprang to his feet. "I have only five minutes in which to catch my train," IIe seized the manuscript Lettie handed halt. thrust it into an inside pocket, cnught up his grip and bolted from the door.

And a few .days after his return to the city there caste to Ilan other de- mands fors his oratorical service, for the fame of Itis daring Innovation and its success had spread, and one lyceum bureau offered special contract terms for n year.. "Were you aware," spoke the pro- fessor the first tune he called upon the yonprett?y typist, "that you gave the the wrong manuscript when I last saw " "Oh, never 1" fairly gasped Lettie. • He told her all.

The young man with capital not ac- cumelated by himself may or may not be a success in business, but his money will not be the determining fac- tor in 1,1is upward course, if he does •proceed in that direction, while it is about as likely as not to help -him move the other• •way, should he be without the capacities required for making money for himself. Nobody with both body and brain well trained can truly be called without capital, nor need the condition of penniless- ness trouble either himself or his friends. A thousand paths are open to him, and he iv111 have pennies a -plenty, if not exactly as soon as he plceses, at least with no great delay. An Exception.

C. 1� /q ANY a mystery remains to be solved concerning the Indian in his earliest stages of tribal existence. Especially is this so re- gardingthe rock paintings, or the crude art known as petrography, some fine specimens of which are to bo seen on the Banff -Windermere Head. south of .Golden, B.C., , on the C. P. R. It is thought that these aboriginal picture drawings succeeded an earlier sign language, though picture writing is of a very ancient date, as from it came the graphic systems of Egypt, Assyria, and China. On the American continent, the Aztecs, were picture writers and rock painters. The art, if it may be so termed, is related to that of the Indian picture signs drawn on the tent or tepee, or upon tree bark or animal skins. _ Some of the rock drawings still traceable on this continent can be in- terpreted, but many others await translation, as do the signs of the' Hittite language of the past. School - craft, the Indian authority, speaks of the pictographic work of the Ojib- ways, which he specially studied. The efttire system is a symbolic one, as no doubt was the case with the Win- dermere examples here illustrated. Figurative signs were made to inter- pret their magic medicines or fees tures of their nature religion, while hunting and war songs are also In- cluded in the list of pictures. The Iroquois, Hurons and Algonquins have left evidences of their petro- graphy as important events were re- corded on stone, bark and skin.
