Then there is Superintendent Melville, just retired from Scotland Yard, whose exploits with anarchists would make a fascinating and exciting book. Ho looks like a middle-aged family doctor. Once an anarchist treater went to Scotland Yarcl and told him of a sedi- tious and strictly private meeting of an- archists in Soho on the night before. He related bow violent and threatentria speeches were directed against promin- ent people in England; what plans were made at the meeting; how the anarchists quarreled among themselves at the ine.et- ang and how after promiscuous fighting with fists a revolver was drawn. "Yes," said the detective quietly, "but you are late. I have hero (reaching up to a pigeon hole and taking down a sheaf of foolscap) a full account! of all that took place at the meeting, together with a verbatim report of the speeches made." The man left Scotland Yard, frighten- ed beyond measure at the omniscience of this remarkable detective. As a matter of fact, Mr. Melville had in the meeting one of his young detective sergeants, who had a knowledge Of shorthand. The risk ho ran may easily be imagined. wee. • • • The Best of People • Make mistakes unintentionally, but no one ever made a mistake in buying On the closer study of the life of cen- tenarians'WO perceive how an optimistic belief in their strength has helped them to bear tbe weight of their years.

A visit to Chicago Stock Yards and to western came feeding centers afford ample evidence of this. A large pro- portion of cattle are fed on snapped or shelled corn. Herded with those are hogs that thrive and fatten on the undigested corn left by the eteere. Those hogs con- stituting a by -production of cattie feeding are produced at a cost much lower than oork eau he rained in Canada. All United States hogs are not fed in this way but a large proportion of theta have at least ad- vantage of cheap corn, then which, there is no bettor feed for producing fat hogs of the lard type. Let the Canadian farmer go back to the thick, fat type of hog, as some talk of doing because they feel they have a griev- ance with the packer, and it will not be long before the price of Canadian bacon will have fallen to a level with the United States pro- duct which is usually from ten to fifteen shillings per hundred and twenty pounds lower than tho quotations for Canadian "Wiltshire" sides. It seems to be very generally supposed that pork is more cheaply and easily pro- duced from hogs of tho thick, short Amer!. can breeds than from tho three English breeds which aro favored for bacon produo- tion. Why such a belief should .be so gen- era' is difficult to understand, as repeated tests conducted at various experiment sta- ttons have shown that hogs of the York- shire, Berkshire and Tamworth breeds pro- duce pork as cleanly as those of Poland China, the Cbestter White or the Dune Jersey breeds. In the opinion of Prof. pay, of the Ontario Agricultural College, who Is foremost among authorities on bacon pro- duction, the lusty, growthy pig of the bacon type is the most economical pork - maker we have, especially 'when reared, as bacon bogs should be, largely on such foods as roots, soiling crops and dairy offal. There is much difference of opinion re- garding the cost for which hogs fit for mar- ket can be produced; and there is probably as much difference between the cost to one feeder and the cost to another au between these opinions. Under general conditions the production costs in the neighborhood of five dollars per hundred pounds on an aver - ago. In summer under favorable conditions the cost may be somewhat lessened but in winter pork can hardly be produced at the figure mentioned. As in all other lines of Production the cost will vary according tO . the station Ito chatted in friendly way, "You've had a narrow escape, Freest," he said.

While strolling on the banks of French Oneek, near Clayton., in company with my wife and a friend, we started a woodeoe.k, which feigned being wounded and gave utterance to the most plaint- ive squeaks, from which we inferred the nest must be near. A short search discovered it among email bushes on the ground in a 0001- pamtis-&ly exposed position. The nest contathned three eggs, which we, of course, did not disturb. Leaving the neat for over an hour, I cautiously re- turned, and getting on my hands and knees crept within ten feet of it with- out disturbing the old bird,. After watching, her for about ten minutes I sane her stand up in the nest and with her bill and one foot change the posi- tion of two of the eggs, after which site settled back on the nest. She then evidently saw me, for she gave a sudden twist sideways with her h,ettel and then slowly and cautiously aeretched out as fair as .possible, ner bill resting flat on the ground. She remained thus, for fully five minutes. Presently I arose from my position and stepped forward, when the bird quietly sneaked away from the nest, seeming to crouch as near the ground as possible, until about twenty feet away, 'when she torose with the usual cry, but immediately fell to tile ground, fluttere4 up and down and finally turned over on her bacinflut- teeing her wings as if in the last agony, but WS I approached she scrambled away, dragging one wing on the ground, until she ;had led me fully 200 yards from the nest, when suddenly echo bade me au revoir, and darted away like a rooket.

A Problem Which is of Staggering Magnitude. Owing to her tremendous industrial activity and the needs of her teeming • population, England may find herself one of these days face to face with a prob- lem of staggering magnitude—namely, a 1 scarcity of fresh water, said Mr. Bentley, F. S. A., president of the Royal Meteor- ological Society, at the annual meeting z on Wednesday in Great George street. So enormous now is the drain upon the j country's available supplies, so much have the growth of cities, the disappear - mice of forested areas the extent of 1 street surface impervious to moisture j and the diversion of rivers, lakes and other natural fresh water reservoirs from their natural functions of irrigators, die- - tributors of the all -essential moisture to the land, interfered, in England, with natare's arrangements, that English en- . gineers and meteorologists at no distant date may find a task of almost insuper- able difficulty awaiting their endeavors.

Individual carelessness, criminality, poor construction of buildings and loose and imperfect fire laws were responsible for the lose last year in the United States and Canada of h•O less than r75,- 157,800 by conflagrations of all sorts. While this total is lees than that of 1004, when the Baltimore fire occurred, it is, with that exception the highest fire loss yet recorded.

I shall never for- get a walk of some home' duration which we took together in order to visit, among other things in the heights of Montmartre, the studio of L. Dimmer, one of our greatest pastel painters. With intense curiosity M. W. set to work to study "the secret" of the master's pro- cedure. The painter who had heard tell of the venerable age of his visitor, said to him respectfully: "There are no longer any secrets to you, Admiral." "Don't you rely on that," said M.

Mrs. Margaret Neave, who died in 1004 in the Island of Guernsey, at her estate Rouge Huyshe ,at the age of 111, was by no means cut off, up to the end of her days, from the outside world. She receiv- ed visitors and questioned them on the affairs of the day. As long as Queen Vic- toria. was alive, she never failed to send an annual telegram of congratulations on her birthday. The Queen replied: with affection and carefully examined the portrait of oId Mrs. Neave, just as some women who are soon expecting to be mo- thers anxionsly watch the faces of beau- tiful children. Mine. Viardot, the great friend of Tourgeneff, in spite of her advanced age of 84, continues to give singing lessons. To her active life and to the absence of all depressing suggestions she OASTS her youthfulness of spirit which makes her ono of the most agreeable talkers in Paris, I shall never forget the vivid por- traits .she sketched for me of some of the celebrated personages she had met on her long journey-. And is not "creation" the true gift of youth? Such also was the case with the beau- tiful Mme, Scrivaneek, the glorious rival of Dejazet, whom I saw, towards the year 1000, giving lassoes, and private tutoring, at the age of about 80. We ought to take a flying view in memory of the celebrated men who, as nonagenarians and centenarians, have al- ways distinguished themselves by their untiring activity and their faith in "their youth." When we think over their cases wo realize that it was the suggestion of force the innate conviction that resis- tance is possible, together with the ab- sence of depressing ideas, which chiefly contributed to the preservation of their health and their prolonged life. So that we see how important it is to shut the door of ono's heart, or rather of one's brain to all injurious ideas as to stingy limits of life. Nature, who created poi- sons, has also created their antidotes. Wbat, for instance, can be more painful to almost all mortals than the mere thought of inevitable old age? Nearly as many tears have been shed over this necessity as over that of death,. For those, alas, who tremble at the dark, aro quielc to perceive its terrors. And yet this old age, so ill -spoken and so feared, contains within it unsuspected delights. Everything depends on the angle at which we take up our position for observing and studying it. The author of the Epis- tles to Lueillus (XII.) goes into eestacies over its charms. "Apples are not good," he tells us, "until they are beginning to go. Tho beauty of children appears to- wards the end. Those who love wine take the greatest pleasure in the last draught they drink. All that is most exquisite in man's pleasures is reserved for the end."

What a fragrant bouquet of delicious and fortifying herbs might be culled from the delicate thinkers who have med.- itated long on old age. Try to train your- self in it, and you will taste, little by little, under their influence, the charm of quiet, in the place of the worries of fear. Yet, bad suggestions, come to us from all sides.

Neuralgia is the surest sign that your whole system is weak and un- strung. Those sharp, stabbing pains aro caused by your jangled nerves. But your nerves would not be jangled if your blood was pure and grow. You can't cure neuralgia by liniments or hot applications. They may re- lieve for a moment—but they can't possibly cure. You can never cure neuralgia, until you enrich your blood and brace your starved nerves with Dr. Williams' Pink Pils. They actu- ally make new blood. They soothe the nerves and strengthen the whole system. They strike right at the cause of agonising neuralgia, Mr, John McDermott, Bond Head, Ont., says: "As the result of a wetting, I was seized. with paha; in all parts of my body. I consulted a doctor, who told inc the 'trouble Ines neuralgia. He treated me for some time, but did not help me. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and decided to try them.
