Fortunately she was struck in such a manner as to be thrown clear of the rails, or she would have been instantly killed beneath the wheels. As it was she escaped with a severe shaking up.

LIGHT IN RELATION TO TREE GROWTH. The United States secretary of agrl culture has just issued Bulletin 4,2 of the forest service, on "Light in Rela- tion to Tree Growth." The bulletin is designed to show the benefits de- rived by the tree by light from all angles, particularly that reflected on the roots. In introducing the sublect the bulletin states: "Light is Indis- pensable for the life and growl, of trees. In. common with other green plants, a tree, in order to live, must produce organic substance for the building of new tissues: Certain low forms of vegetable life, such as Lac- teria and fungi, do not require light. They exist by absorbing organic ;nib - stance from other living bodies; but the higher forme of plants manua- facture their own organic material by extracting carbon from the air. The leaves, through the agency of thsir chlorophyll, or green coloring nittfsr, absorb from the tar carbon dioxide; and`gtve off a nearly equal volurt.o of orygert. The carbon dioxide is Oita a broken up into Its elements and con. verted Into organic substitutes which are used hi building up new tieeues. Light also influences transpiration, and consequently the metabolism of green plants. It Influences largely the structure, the fortis and the color of the leaf, and the form of tbo stent and the Drown of the tree. Ti, the forest it largely detormiztva the height` growth of trees, the rata at Which eland* thle but with age, the prbgreao of naturel pruning, the eharactetr of the living ground covet, the vlgor of y*outhg trey growth, the exletenee of ssevera;l storied forest, and many other plsenotxlolta tlpcltii whioh the martagefaent of forest de - penile.

Miss Ruby Bart isvisiting in To- ronto. Mise Laura Rich was a Wingham visitor Inst week. To Stop Hiccoughs. Mothers as well as other folks are often alarmed when a child is attacked ,with hiccoughs. An easy and effec- tual way to stop them is to press the pulse in the wrist of the sufferer as hard as possible, and invariably the trouble will cease immediately. A second method is to hold both bands up. Then see how close the thumb and little finger of each hand can come to- gether without touching. These may seem like simple remedies, but they will divert the attention and thus stop what might otherwise prove serious. The Cost Of Living. Secretary Wilson of the United States Department of Agriculture has been investigating the cost of living. Ile thinks the lands near the large. cities should be used so that that their markets for foodstuffs could be sup- plied with home grown products' •Only recently 15,000 tons of potatoes reached New York from Scotland for New York city consumption. "Within an hour's ride of the greater city," be says, "there is enough un- cultivated land to produce many times the amount of this cargo of potatoes if only properly cultivated. This ap- plies not only to the potato crop, but to nearly all the trucking crops. And, too, this situation does not affect New York alone, but every city and com- munity from Maine to Texas, and the west and middle west, and, indeed, almost the entire country. The prob- lem of supplying the markets with home-grown and home -raised food- stuffs is a serious one in the question of the high cost of living, and when it is solved by the cultivation of the neglected acreage of lands I believe the whole probleni will have been materially reduced."

President Henry Glendin- ning reported that during the eleven months ending Nov. 30, there were ex- ported from Canada 1,059,201 boxes of cheese, valued at $18,067,450, and 134,000 packages of butter, valued at $1,732.360. This was an increase of $1,395,607 in butter over the entire year of 1910. President Clendinning said :-"We should remember that our export trade is only about 25 per cent. of our total dairy production, and that the home consumption of milk, butter and cheese is growing every year. The public are realizing more and more the value of milk and its products as a food.'! Weather con- ditions had favored •eastern dairy- men during the year. In September cheese had reached the record price of 15c pound. Senator Derbyshire said that dairymen of Brockville -alone had sold over $3,000,000 worth of cheese in 1911. A resolution favored increasing the number and salaries of Ontario Government dairy inspectors. Dairy Commissioner Ruddick of Ottawa said tai. ads must pay more care to the curing of cheese to hold her own in the British markets. The United States would soon cease to export.

Pat was standing near the car track when he noticed an automobile coming up the street, and to be safe he stepped back a little from the car track, The auto went past, and, just as it was passing, the driver had an occasion "to tura off the track. When he did, the auto skidded on the car track, causing the back end of it to swing around, striking Pat and knocking him down. Pat was seen to get up and look after the car and say, "Now, p'hat do ye think o' that? Whin.ye stand in front o' thim, they run over ye ; and whin ye git out o' the way to let thim pass, they turn around and kick ye I" "Dr. Miles' Nervine Raised Me From the Grave" --Mrs. Taylor This is a strong statement to make, but it is exactly what Mrs. Thomas Taylor, of Blum, Texas, said in expressing her opinion of this remedy.
