tion toe high for the averag,e farmer.
remaiued for a ne‘vspaper to put at
the dispoeal of the farmer all ednea-
tiOnal course at home without any cost
to him. Canadian Farm of Toronto be -
gen its first eeries of eorreepondellee
eourses on December lst, 1911. The sub-
ject of "Power on the Farm" was dealt
with in ten issnee, Dr. C. J. Lynde,
Prefessor of Phyeies at Macdopald Col.
1e', Que., eupplied these ten illustrat-
simPlified leetures, and at the fin-
ish of the coarse set an examination
paper, The , coulee gave the student a
complete knowledge of power as ap-
plied to farm operations as es possible
in this form, The, readers of the paper
took to it reedily throughout the Dom-
inion, and as many home students took
advantage of this course in ten weeks
as the ordivary college starting in
could have at the end or four years. A
course on "Soils" is 'low rhnning in
Canadian Fenn, to be followed by oth-
er interesting subjects, Following is a

SUFFERED THREE YEARS
Tiii Dr. Morse's !radian Root
Pills cured his Kidney Trouble
There are few diseases that cause more
acute suffering than Kidney Trouble,
and Mr. F. A. Thomas, of Sudbury Ont.,
is one of those who know it. He writes:
"For over three years I suffered from
kidney disease. First 1 thought I had
sprained my back, for suddenly the pain
would catch the small of my back and it
would be impossible for me to straighten
myself up for several 'minutes. A dull
ache across the kidneys was always pres-
ent, my urine was thick and cloudy, and
passing it caused a burning, scalding
pain. Tried medicines, but they failed.
I was advised to try ]Dr. Morse's Indian
Root Pills, as they had cured my wife
years before. A few boxes affected a
complete cure. I now enjoy the blese
sings of good health, which is due to this
remedy."
Don't neglect kidney trouble—it's too
dangerous as well as too painful. That
old,reliadle family remedy, Dr. Morse's
Indian -Root Pills, has cured thousands
and will cure you. It is equally effective
in curing constipation and its attendant
evils, tiltousness, indigestioe and, sick
headachei"and in purifing the blood.

HIGH ISLOOD PRESSURE.
"A. man is as old as his arteries," Is a
'widely accepted epigram. So many men
are senile at 50, and so many others are
yonthful at 70 that some modification of
the plan of measurin,g age by year finds
advocates.
A few years ago Dr. notch, Of Har-
vard, advocated X-ray examinations to
deterrnine the real state of maturity of
children. His point was that when child-
ren went to work at a fixed age, some
would be working with bones still soft,
and stoops, crooked backs, and bow legs
would result. The suggestion, was all
right, scientifically, but the procedure
was too cumbersome for daily use. On
the contrary, rnethOds of getting the
blood pressure are simple. A hollow
rubber tube is fastened around the arm
and this tube Is inflated until the wrist
pulse cannot -be felt. A register shows
just what air pressure was required to
collapse the artery underlying. This.
Pressure is known as the blood pressure.
The blood pressure at birth is 75, and
it rises until, in old age, it is 175.
I3y high blood pressure is meant a
pressure that is higher than the normal
for that age, A pressure of HO at 20
years of age is as abnormal as 200 at 70.
Venereal disease, lead poisoning, aloe-
hol and gouty conditions are the more
important causes of high blood preesure.
Mild poisoning—for gout is a polsonihg
resulting from to =telt or too rich food,
long continued—is an important cause ot
high blood pressure. High blood press-
ure goet hand In hand with chronic
Bright's Disease. Heart disease le, gener-
ally, a result of rheumatism. High blood
pressnre arid Chronic Bright's Disease
are, often, results of petit.
It is well to understand the sitnificahee
of these conditions. In a Chronic Bright's
disease the kidneys are senile. They
represent more neatly a cOnditien than
a disease. A man having thent is crip-
Pied, but he may live a long time. 'Usual-
ly he is carried off by some intercurrent
dieease to which his kidney condition
made him more liable.
High blood pressure means more senile
arteries. Senile arteries represent more
nearly a condition than a disease. A rnan
hevihg them Is crippled, but he may live
a long time --and he usually passes away
from serne malady to which hie arterial
ceedition increased his liability.
The real remedy is right 'living in the
owner years of life, The condition es-
tablished, palliation is secured through
temperance. ,

DAIRY Seti.00L
Results of Examinations at
OutEkrlo L.grioultural
College„
The total attendanee at the dairy
echool for 1012 was larger than for 1911,
but about the same number wrote en
the final examinations, held Meeeh 20,
21 and 22. This year there was a change
in the method of preparing mere as
the lion, Minister of Agriculture for the
Province, juries Duff, requested that
the dairy school in connection with. the
I O.A.C. and the Radom Dairy School at
Kingston, would give the same course
of theorotical and practical instruction
so far as 'possible, in order that grad-
uates of the two schoels should be on
the same basis. This has become neces-
sary since the legislation of 1909 require
all chief butter and cheese makers of
the Province to hold a certificate of
qualification on and after January 1,
4011.
Five out of the eight papers for final
examinations were prepeed jointly by
the examiners at the two schools, BO
that the two classes wrote on the same
papers 'on five subjects, It is altogether
likely that the other three --bacteriology,
chemistry and miseellaneous evil be in-
cluded next year. Cheese and butter
makers are taking a greater interest in
the dairy schoal since the paesage of the
dairy products at of 1909, requiring cer-
tificates. .As the eourse is one of
twelve weeks, during which the whole
time and attention of the etudents are
concentrated on dairy matters, students
who are able to yass the theorotical and
practical examinations have a good
training in dairy work. If they have
one or more year's factory experience
before taking the factory course, whieh
is strongly advised, the graduates of the
dairy schools ought to be in a better
position to maintain and improve the
quality of dairy goods made in Canada,
than 'those who have not taken the
dairy course.

Rutter Station, Ont., April 15.—(Spe-

Dodd's Kidney Pills," So says Mr.
Sant Mallette of this place, And he

"My sicknees started from a strain,"
Mr. Mallette continues, "and for a

sleep was broken and unrefreshing, my
appetite was fitful and my limbs would
swell,
"Then rheumatism sot in and neural-

"Finally, when 13right's Disease had

EVERY DAY CUSTOMS.
•••••InVol • o ••••••••••••••
Free Use of the Sword Hand—Med-
Iaeval Visiting Cards.
Certain customs in vogue at the
present day, sueh as shaking hands Or
offering the left arm to a lady, are of
eonsiderable antiquity. It is said. that
Phoenicians introduced the former habit
into Britain, and that upon the shores of
Mount May many a. bargain in tin be-
tween eastern merchants and Cornish-
men was ratified by thie method of
elasping hands.
Certain other customs no less widely
observed have come down to us from
a later period, says the London Globe,
and yet one sufficiently remote. In
mediaeval times he who shook hands,
whether in solution or as a defensive
meausre—retaining the sword hand
while some treaty was being arranged
,--must need strip off his steel gauntlet.
So at the present tixne men pull off
their right hand glove before shaking
hands with a lady. The wearing, of
glove or gauntlet, indeed, at one per-
iod was something of a challenge in
itself; thus no men wore gloves in the
presence of royalty, an absence which
indicated. also absence of hostile in-
tent.
.A. similar idea in all probability ac -
'counts for the habit of showing court-
esy by' lifting or removing the hat. Only
when no danger threatened would a
warrior in olden days venture to stand
uncovered; in the royal presence was
safety—thus ran the chivalric code,
and therefore each knight who drew
near king or emporer swept off his hel-
met, showing that he ared to stand un-
covered. Helmets, as time went on,
were exchanged for less ;warlike forme
of headgear, but the custom, becoming
general, outlived all changes, and re-
mains unto this day the principal meth-
od of showing reverence.
The age of chivalry has left its mark
upon several customs. Sword, helmet,
gauntlet—the feet that these were once
part of the necessary equipment of
knight or gentleman galore our liabite
even ROW.
Still a mart offera a lady his left aria,
a practice which, recalls theme when es -
cert was by no means solely a matter
of politeness, but when in order to
guard against sudden attack. it Was
necessary to have the mord arm free.
Still, When a stranger sells for the
first time he sends in his card, partly,
no doubt, in order that his name and
possible business may be made clear„
but partly also because in olden daye
he who desired entrance to palace or
castle must send some token as .warrant
of peaceful intent.
This token was perhaps a ring or some
jewel known to the lord of the castle,
which 'would. serve as it guarantee .for
the sinmity of its bearer; in a les4
artistic age the stranger .who desires
admission contents himself with a elip
of pasteboard WherP011 his 11411110
priuted in black letters.
The visiting card indeed is the un-
doubted descendant • of that ring or
piece of parchment which often obtained
for its possessor admission into the
mediaeval castle. Today the moat may
be gone, the drawbridge too, and arm-
ed retainers no longer peer over the bat-
tlements with arquebus or halberd in
suspicious readiness, but the front door
often acts as an efficient moat and re-
tainers need not be armed in order to
prove repellent.

Your language makes our senses whirl.
Do you mean It was on her bean?

Of slang this is a sad display,
You wouldn't use it in your home.

We were taught to be Puritans, proper and prim,
In the days that were prudish and staid,
When "leg" was the worst of bad language for "limb"
And a spade wasn't ever a spade; •
When, people put skirts on pianorore legs
And talked of the "limbs" of a chair
And "leg" was tabooed along with the nude
Which was something that no one could bare.
To limbo they'd re.leg-ate "legacy" sure,
At "leg -al" they even demurred,
For they couldn't conceive how a mind that was pure
Would even dare hint at the word;
So we gazed, deeply blushing, at "leg-erdemain"
Though "ledger" was sav ed by the "d,"
While the leg of a compass would oftentimes stump us
—It was easy to shock u s, you see!
For now we say "leg" with the greatest of ease,
And when the wind chances to blow
We see the skirts gripped in the clutch of the breeze
And hope it will never 1 eg-go,"
We choose the front seats at each musical play
And we gaze with delectable awe
For custom now "leg-islatures" that we nmy say,
It was "legs" and not "limbs" that we saw.
So here's to the leg, which we now unelereta.nd
(It has long understood us full .well),,
Though once underfoot w e can lend it a hand
Among proper phrases t o dwell;
Far back into limbo we cast the prim "limb,"
And in steps the leg to the throne
Where it daintily glows in the finest of hose
For the leg has come into its own.

LAYING CABLES 3 MILES
DEEP.
By arrangements of the Lritish Post-
master -General, the rates for cablegrams
have been greatly lowered during the
night time. It is believed that as a re-
sult a greatly increased number of cab-
legrams will be sent.
Few people know what a tremendous
work ie the laying of a eubrearine caele
exteneing for many thousand:3 of
Each mile of ...AC cable m tee deep sea
will weigh somewhere abut a ton and
a half, while each mile or the shore ends
will lveigh as much as twenty-eight
tons.
apecialships are used for laying the
cable, which is always paid out at a
greater rate than the ship travels In or-
der to cope \kith the Irregularities at
th.o bottom of the sea. More than this,
when the sea is deep quite a eansidera
able time elapses be:Ante the cable reach-
ssevtlilieenenthae. sea ts about three miles deep,
and the ship is steaming at its usual rate
over two and a Late hturs before the
cable reaehes the bed of the sea. At
that time a poiet or the cable which was
Ln the ship two end a half hours prey-
ieusly will be twenty-five miles in the
rear of the ves'iel.
The -paying out peoeese requires great
care, as If the rope gees too last the
a hole cable woeid :ut terough the ship
as a hot knife would cu z through butter.
Hence special brakes are applied and
rettxrding wheels are. used. Alt the time
the cable is being paid out electricians
are carefully testing it in a little labor -
tory on the vessel. Should anything go
wrong the cable is hauled back again.
The cables themselves are specially
sheathed In stout iron in order to protect
the precious wires which convey tee cur-
rent. In some parts of the world var-
ious creatures rapidly bore their way
through a. cable and so ruin it. In such
a case a layer of brass tape is pieced
around the external iron wires.
The cable may come to damage in all
manner of ways. For instance, a sword
fish or a shark may make an attack
upoit it, and so ruin the insulation.
The shore ends are always made con-
siderably stouter than the deep sea por-
tion, so that they may not be damaged
by ships' anchors, and What not, In the
Uorthern and southern seas the cable has
to be protected against ice floes, and in
seen oases linked armor is Used.
The shore end is laid at the same time
as the main cable, and will extend for
4 mile or two from the shore, and the

Report Explains Their Methods—A
Roman Secret Society.
Arsenic is commonly employed by the
profeeeioreil poisoner in India, who will
poison a witole family to ma.ke sure of
one victim. The reports of the Bombay
Government analyst throws some light
on the methods.
The poison is ustrailly given in Rweet-
Ineat,z3 and generally by a "strange wo-
man," who has been met in the street
and who mysteriously disappears. TI4e
"strange woman" is found in every an-
lyst's report for the hest twenty years
and in eircirmstanees 50 ideutical that
it would almost seem to be the same
pezsort. Will this elusive person ever
be captured by the Indian police?
Areenie has perhaps been more fre-
quently used than any other poison for
criminal purposes. It has been proved
identieal with the "wonderful elixie of
the seventeenth century, when secret
poisoning became so frequent in Italy
that the clergy, despite the rates of the
confessional acquired. Pope Alexan-
der VII. in 1048 with the extent of the
praetice.
It was found that young widows
were abundant in Rome, and thint moat
of the unhappy marriages were speedily
disssolved by the death of the husband.
A eeeret soeiety of young matrons was
discovered, which met at the house of
of La Spara, .a reputed witch, who sup-
plied them with a slow, tasteless, color -
lees poison carefully calculated to kill
bushand in just the time that suited
the purchaser.

iene were hanged, a large number of the
