McBride has the short face, the mas-

ther the face and. features of the fig-
ure of 'the great British Columbian,
you • see turious contradictions with
the impression of athletic massive-
ness. The mouth is small, the deep-
set eyes are soft brown, the feet and
hands are small—there are delicacy,
sensitiveness, a 'certain artistic ele-
ment in this big massive man as well
as strength. And, above ail, the domi-

It is oue of the secrets of Mr. Mc -
Bride's 'unique hold over • his people
that he belongs to them in every nerve
of his being. He was born in British
• Columbia, and though he went to the
law school at Halifax, in Nova pcotid,
to get his professional training, he has
lived almost every hour of his life in
his own province and among bis own
people. • And he is never out of toucn
with them or with their outlook on
things. ' Any' day you can see him in
Victoria,' moving easily among the
people, saluting every man he 'meets,,
forhe knows them all; or seated in the
vestibule in the beautiful 'Canadian
Pacific Hotel over a cup of tea, talk-
ing easily and 'familiarly ' to everyone
who comes to join his circle. He .is

. "The chest measurement of a regi-

;Prof. Wright Said, "had been taken.
;They ranged from thirty-three inches

with each measurement was then
'counted, and from this, by meanie of
the calculus of probabilities, the vari-
ous percentages of other chest. mea-
aurements were obtained. These were
checked by the actual measurements
of the men and found approximately
correct. By means of this calculus it
has been shown that one man in four

• THE IAT E HOBLRT MEIGHEN
The Montreal Multi-Mlilionaire Was a
Man of Strong Personality
•
The late Robert Meighen, Montreal,
left an estate of between $7,000,000
and $8,000,000. He made most 'of his
money in the milling business, being
1 -resident of the Lake of the Wooda
Milling Company, which ships flour
to the foul- corners of the globe. Mr.
1VIeighen was a man of strong person-
ality. His methods were his own. He
was known for his peculiarities from
the. Atlantic to. the Pacific, and, in
fact, in many parts of the old world.
It is now many years since Mr. Meigh-
en advocated the policy of Imperial
preferential trade. His confident be-
lief in •it had been instrumental in
educating Canadians in many parts
upon this question. His clear-cut,
original expressions, his quick deci-
'dons in business, and, withal, pleasant
aggressiveness at all times, made him
a business man easy to remember.

a special meeting of the shareholders
of the Sherbrooke Railway and Power
Company the purchase of the Eastern
Townships Electric Company and the
Stanstead Electric Company was rati-
fied. The acquisition of these cot*.
Denies is an important step to the
Sherbrooke Company, as it thus ob-
tains control of the major part of the
/electric lighting business in the thick-
ly populated district between Sher-
brooke and the 'United States border.
The Eastern, Townships Electric Com-
pany furnishes electric light and
powei• to North Hatley and several
other adjacent towns, and the. Stans-
stead Elecalc Company controls the
business of Lennoxville, Rock Island,
Beebe Plain and Derby Line, Beebe
and Derby Centre, Vermont. It was
stated at the meeting that by the pur-
chase of these concerns the company
would be able to sell a much larger

PAYS LAST DEBT
The Late "Davy" 'Johnson Made' and
Lot Millions
The recent death of "Davy" john-
iion has removed from Montreal not
only one of its most Ituresque fig-
ures but at' the same ti e the last of
a group of men who made and lost
millions here when gambling in this
city was an untrammelled business
patronized by men whp took chances
merely tor sport, with no considera-
tion for the money at stake. Twenty
years ago gambling flourished in tiff-
,
ferent sections of thecity. There
was no- difficulty in placing bets' in
those days, and raids were almost un-
heard of. The doors of the gambling
honses were practically wide open,
and in nearly every instance: there
was an unwritten gamblers' law call-
ing for fair play. This applied to race-
track betting as well as other forms
of gambling, and few men who lost
money on horse -racing or cards ever
bad recourse to law to recover un-
paid gambling debts. Among the big-
gest gamblers this was a valuable as-
set, as the •reputation of being a
"square" gambler brought desirable
patronage. Among such men Johnson'
had a reputation of being a tremen-
dous plungpr. it bs recorded.that in a
single day several years ago he 'won
more than $100,000. • Like all.. such
men, however, his income was pre-
carious, and while one week might
find him worth half a million, the next
might see him forced to borrow mon-
ey. No matter what rebuffs of for .
tune he 'met, MS word was never coin -
promised,' and so when his luck was
contrary he was always able to live
the life Of luxury he was accustomed
to, .its :those who accomirtodated him
knew that when his luck returned he
would take up all Ms paper and pay
his debts. •
FOOD VALUE Of CHEESE
Fresh Meat Has Little More Than
Half its Nourishment
A comparison of the food value of
acme witUi that of Other highly nitrogencue food materials may be of in-
teresting value. No kind of meat ex-
cepting dried beef carries suck a large
percentage of protein aa cheese. and
as dried beef contains a Much greater
percentage of water, the other food
constituents, apart from the protein,
are much less than is found in cheeee.
Fresh beef aspurchased has, weight

food value of cheese in either protein
or fat, and the same is true of pritett.

ferior to cheese in foq4 value. Bacon
or pork fat are exceptions, but their
food value is mostly in the fat, which
can be and is replaced to tt great ex-
tent by. the carbohydrates of vegeta-
blea at a much less cost, and some-
times, Perhaps, at a benefit to the
health, ot the consumer. Fish and
pork each have a notably large per-
centage of refuse, while eggs have a
high percentage of water. To sum the
matter up, a pound of cheese has near-
ly the same food value as two pounds
of fresh beet, or any other fresh meat,
as food; it is worth as muclt as or
more than a pound of ham, and is more
digestible, and it is equal to two
pounds of eggs or three pounds at fish.

A Bishop Hes Consecrated a Chapel
on Wheels
A chapel on wheels has just been
consecrated by Archbishop Bourne.
This novel place of worship is to be
sent on tour in charge of two priests,
for whom it will also be a residence.
• It is an ordinary motor -van, the in-
terior of which is fitted with a minia-
ture altar for the celebration of Mass,
with prie-Dieu kneelers .for a dozen
worshippers. When not in use for
Divine services the benches are
stowed aeay, the altar cleared of its
ornaments, and the vehicle becomes
a travelling van, with beds for the
accommodation of the two priests.
The chapel on wheels will start for
East Anglia, and the first stopping -
place is to be Haverhill, where Father
Bernard Vaughan will deliver a series
of lectures during a week's sojourn in
that town.
