Ern est Grigg, a Missionary oFthe Ameri can Baptist Foreign- Missionary So ciety to Burma, was visiting with his sister, Miss M. Grigg, of town. It is ten years since Mr. Grigg last visited his old home. At that time Mr. Grigg was engaged in Y.M.C.A. work n the war zone to the Indian troops and after the close of the war he made a short visit to Canada. Mr. Grigg has been, in missionary work in Burma for thirty-five years -having gone out in 189 3. His mis sion fie'ld is Maymyo, forty miles from Mandalay. This is the fourth lurlpugh which lasts for eighteen months, Three months of this is taken up in .coming and going It took1 Mr. Grigg thirty-one days in going from Rangoon to Liverpool and 8 days from Liverpool to Mont real. Mr. Grigg is a fairly good sailor’ and enjoys the ocean trips. After his stay in the warm climate of Burma the refreshing breezes of the ocean and our western atmos phere is Grigg says he is glad to get back to Canada. He thinks that Ontario is a garden spot and 'he has - been drinking in the beauties’ of the scenery. During his furlough Mr. Grigg will spend six months speak ing on missionary work in Burma among the Baptist chuches of Unit ed States and Canada. The other nine months he will be on vacation. very exhilerating. Mr. Burma is pne of the provinces of India and is about one and a half times as large as France, The people are Mongolian in origin and their color, language, customs and religion are different from the people of India. The Burmese are Buddists and among the Buddists there Is no cast, and conditions are vastly different from where the cast system prevails. The people are very hospitable, free and light-heart ed and are particularly fond of co lor. On Sunday afternoon when the young people, particularly the girls, , are drbssed in fine toggery their ap pearance is like a veritable flower garden. They wear no covering for their head and with their jet black hair made glossy with cocoa-nut oil and adorned with a flower and with happy smiling faces they present a very attractive appearance. The people have adopted many of ou western labor-saving devices and fountain pens, sewing machines and automobiles are freely used. The population numbers thirteen and a half-million of which nine mil lion are Burmans. There are about ! one million permanent residents jfrom India, 300,000 Chinese, Kar lens, Shans and Chins. The Burmans themselves are worshippers of. Bud- dah and hold strongly to the old ideas of ancestral worship. The Karens, Shans and Chins are anin- imists (worshippers of evil spirits) and it is among this class that the missionaries do their most effect ive work. There are ^bout 150 mis sionaries engaged in work on this field and at present there are 800 schools with 32,000 pupils. Work is carried in primary, middle school and colleges and there is a Theological Seminary with 200 stu dents, with bars. There are also 000 churches 00,000 communicant mem-. Governor is Sir Charles Innis, Britisher, held in high esteem The a fine by the people. There are three seasons of the year in Burma, three months of cold January, February and March. The coolest season is somewhat simijiar to the weather we are enjoying at present, April, May, June and July are the summer months while the remaining five months are the rainy season one to falls. and durng this season from two hundred inches of rain principal exports from Bur-The ma are: rice, and of this three mil lion tons are exported yearly. Teak timber, whch is used largely for decks of ships and vessels is export ed.' The timber does not shrink or warp. The Burma Oil Co,, exports large quantities of oil and there are extensive lead and silver mines. Burma is the home of the ruby and many other precious stones, of the largest known rubies been found in Burma. LOVE, HONOR AND OBEY Some have M. H. n Leeds, Yorkshire Evening PoBt ( Cons.): There is no avoiding the plain fact that in any marriage worthy of the) name of two people concerned have at times to subordin ate thdir own inclinations to those of the other. If wives do not “obey” their husbands in some mat ters, and their husbands do not "obey” their wives in others, then there very soon ' comes into being the pitiful picture of a hen-pecked husband, or the almost equally pit ful picture of a down trodden wife, And if both people insist on pulling different ways, then sooner oi* later the rope breaks, and the end there of is the Divorce Court. Of course, human nature being- human nature, and some people being a deal fonder of getting their own way than are others, it stands to reason that us ually one of the two people tend to do rather more “obeying” than is in equity their fair share. But at the present day it would be very diffi cult) to make any generalization as to whether, on the whole, husbands obey their wives more than wives obey they husbands or vica versa.

The servants of Tut-Ankh-Amen, wad Es-yptiansi wen ?riw>re ancient than they, made better glass than any of the later glossmakers until the coming of modern science and tech nique to the aid of the art, according <0 prof, B, Neumann of the Technical High School at Breslau. Prof. Neumann has made physical and chemical analysis of a large num ber of samples of ancient glass, rang ing from ancient Egyptian through Roman times down to Saracenic glasses-of about 850 A-D. One fault ran' through all the ancient glasses, though in varying degree. This was a somewhat too high alkali content in th© mix, which mkde the product a "soft” glass, with lower resistance to corrosion and slower solution than that possessed by modern glasses. This defect, ©ays the German in vestigator, was more or less unavoid able, because the wood-fired glass furnaces could not develop sufiicient- ly high temperatures, and the high alkali content had to bo added to get the ingredients to melt together, The quality of the varieties of glass he examined was roughly proportional to its melting point. The Egyptian glass, which was the best, had a melt ing point of 760 to 880 degrees cen tigrade, while rthe poorest sample, a fifth-century Roman glass from the Rhine, region, began to melt at 720 degrees. From ■ its > earliest manufacture in Egypt, about 3500 li.C., until almost th* beginning of the Christian era, glass was used almost wholly as a semi-precious stone, for ornaments. The ancients could not make a clear glass;- the nearest approach was a light green. This was due to natural impurities in the ingredients. But they knew how to add colors, and made glasses in darker greens, reds, blues, yellow, violet, black and cloudy white. After the Invention of the blowing tube, the use of glass rapidly, became general throughout the Roman world, which reached from the Euphrates to the Rhine, and the improvement in glass, technique has been carried on steadilyJn one,part.of,the world or, another ever since; 20 THE MEASURING STICK OF THE TRACTOR INDUSTRY University of Nebraska, whichThe T is the standard for United States amj Canada in their Official Test No. 134, has the following to say about the WALLIS Certified Tractor.

A large number of spectators witnessed some keenly contested and well played games. Mr. M. J. Dewey, of West Palm Beach, Florida and brother- in-law; of Mr. Wilbur Revington, carried away first prize it being a handsome trophy. William Scott, of Lucan was second and Father Ho gan, J.

He was 58 years of age and had been a member of Lisgar Collegiate for 30 years. A brilliant mathematic ian, Mr. Norris became widely known throughout the province when graduates of his class achiev ed distinction over a period of years at the University. Few men en joyed greater success as a teacher of mathematics and he also showed great executive ability. He became ill in December and death was due to heart's diseasq. He was born at Staffa and received his early edu cation in Mitchell. He is survived by his widow and two daughters.

But everybody knows the song which made her fortune. She wrote the words and music of “The End of a Perfect Day.” Her second husband died when she was thirty- two and left her with on* child and little money. Although she had no capital or business experience, she started a business for publishing her own songs. The business grew until she had to enlarge her offices because the demand for “A Perfect Day? alone was so great. It was written after a day of motqring through beautiful scenery in. Callfc-rnia. The day closed with a most glorious sun set, and ‘ while she was dressing for dinner Mrs. Bond felt the need of expressing her thanks. “Almost at once came the words of *A Perfect Day’,” she says.

This annual wastage is rising stead ily all the time; But the enormous intensification of the research Into the cause of corrosion and the pos sibilities of protection against it has had results that are extremely prom ising. cannon, built in touch-hole has The Sundial Gun.

SUMMER CARE OF THE CHICKENS Crooked breast bones in chickens is believed ’to be due more to impro per nutrition than to early rooBting. This view is expressed in a bulletin written by G. R. Wilson, Dominion District Poultry Promoter in New Brunswick and by Leslie Wood, the Poultry Superintendent for the pro vince, and issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture. These authorities recommend the provid ing of low 'broad roosts for the chickens when they are transferred from the brooder house to the col ony house. This they claim will- en courage early roosting and in this way offset a tendency for the birds to crowd together during the night. It is well also at this season to-sep arate the sexes when the chicks reach broiler age. The pullets need careful watching and may be given both grain and mash hopper feed with cracked corn of larger size as they grow older. Twelve weeks old pullets, the authors * claim, should not be expected .to eat baby chick Size feed. The small feed is more expensive and the chick at that age will relish the hen size scratch better. The careful attendant see to it that both the hoppers drinking vessels are kept clean well filled. If the ground becomes bare for any considerable distance around the colony house, it is well to remove it to green sod which is regarded as a preventive of the read of intestinal worms. While.it is important to keep pullets growing steadily it is well to force growth too rapidly by using a high percentage of animal feeds, as that has a tendency to start them into laying so young as to stunt their growth, preventing them from ever reaching the stan dard weight of the breed, and more than this the eggs are liable be below standard weight. Another dan ger of over-stimulation pointed out in the pamphlets is to- encourage the laying of a few eggs and then moult, which will stop production until well along in the winter. feed will and and sp- the not If you think women 'better qual ified than men to pick the best can didates look what they marry.
