AS TO THE CZAR (London Paper) The Czar who was 47 a few days ago and set off for the front the following Monday, is generally known as King George's double, though the likeness is nothing very extraordinary when it it is to be remembered that their moth- ers were sisters. Likewise the fact that both wear beards help to a good deal of course. Beyond that hardly any- body knows anything about the Czar over dere, for whenever he was likely to visit our Royal Family some of the unco-guid or the Socialists raised fear- ful howls. When he does come after the War everybody will want to see him. And before many years we may see a closer relationship yet between the two families. , A war poem in a Russian magazine signed "Olcaf" recalls the fact that under that title the Czar has for years written songs and poems, and com- posed the music for his own songs. Unlike another monarch, he makes no fuss or display about it, though he is keenly interested at first hand in all creative art. A favorite story about him in Petro- grad relates to a young poet who ven- i tured to send him a volume with an inspection. He received in return a I morocco• -bound volume with a gold - lettered title, "New poems of Nicholas II." It contained nothing but a wad of bank notes. "And how did you like i my poems?" asked the Czar after, sending specially for the young writer. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S •CASTORIA 1 THE WINGI-IAM TIMES Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIF.LD Raspberries naturally belong In any scheme of mixed farming or gardening. They return large acreage earnings and eau be made to fill up edd corners around the premises, If there is a bit of rough land on the place It can be made profitable by covering it with raspberry bushes at the rate of 800 to 1,000 per acre. Where growers have good market facilities, raspberries ought to pay $300 an acre above the cost of picking. A fair estimate of the average value b $200 to $300 an acre, allowing for un- favorable market conditions. The crop Is reasonably sure and is easily handled by amateurs. The conditions of berry growing have changed somewhat in recent years. RASPBERRIES FOR TRE MARBRT. Where formerly attention seemed everywhere to be given to the black-, cap variety the growers now are pro- ducing more and more of the Colum - bias, or "purple caps," and Cuthberts, or -red caps." The reason for this II!hauge lies largely in the fact that Columbias and Cuthberts are hardy bushes and are endowed with long life, whereas the black varieties at best last only three seasons. The Cutliberts ordinarily bring the grower from 10 to 12 cents per quart in the fresh fruit, so it is hardly prac- ticable under usual conditions to put this variety through the evaporator process. However. there may be local instances where the evaporator would afford the only feasible outlet, but the bulk of red raspberries Is taken by can- neries and fruit dealers at quotations not varying far from 10 cents. With the Columbias the course is slightly different, though great quanti- fies are put up every season by the panning factories. The grower can count on the fresh fruit price of the purple caps as averaging from 7 to 9 cents per quart. What this, variety lacks In market quality as compared to the Cuthbert it makes up in prolific production. being a hardy grower. This variety is evaporated on a large scale and brings, in the dried product from 25 to 30 cents per pound. The shrinkage in the berries will require from three and one-half to four quarts for the pound, dried product. The fruit is dried on wire racks, and where kiln driers are very common In handling apples the racks are placed fu the kiln on the floor. The fruit is not handled after being placed on the racks, and no. "turning" of the racks is made. Sometimes burlap is used on the kiln floor, with the berries spread out on the burlap. In districts where the kiln drier has not made its advent the old wire rack system will be found adequate. Another increasing outlet for the red and purple raspberries is through the flavoring, preserve and bakery estab- lishments in the large centers. Every year men are iu the field picking up all available yields. These are given a preservative, usually "one-tenth of 1 per cent of benzoate of soda," and shipped in pails, half barrels and bar- rels to the large cities, there likely to find a "last analysis" in jam and file stock. It would seem that at 10 to 12 cents a quart paid by the canneries for Cutb. berts there should be a reasonably good profit to the grower in disposing of his crop directly in this. way. After the raspberry has yielded its fruit all old canes and all superfluous new ones should be cut out to let in the sun and to allow the few strong new ones all the vitality in the root for next season's bearing. Five strong new shoots are considered sufficient among expert growers, and there is an adage among all great fruit growers that a dead branch saps as much life from the parent stalk as does n live one. If every twig, dead or living, that is not necessary to the production of fruit be dumped, in a heap rods away and burned the vines will be improved and insect pestd and diseases galore will be avoided. Then cultivate between the , rows. A New Use For the Manure Spreader. A simple adjusttnent, according to the United States departmeut of agri- culture, will enable 'the farmer to use his manure spreader when desirable as a wagon for bringing in root crops Intended for stock feed. The cylinder. or spreader is first removed from the end of the box and a suitable end board set in place and held by an iron Far or rod. At the door of the root cellar the end board can be readily lifted out and the crank which con- nects with the apron shift put on. The roots can then be readily rolled through the door by turning the crank by hand. In this Way the load can be delivered in a few moments. The advantages of this scheme are obvious, for under ordinary circum- stances the manure spreader is idle while the harvest is in progress. WALK WELL TO TIHNK sow. (By H. Addington Bruce, in Toronto Star.) The man who would be really effici- ent has to bear many things in mind. By no means least important is the fact that he can generate a great deal of mental power by the simple device of accustoming himself to bold his body firmly when walking. Slouchiness of carriage has always been condemned, but hitherto chiefly on aesthetic and hygenic grounds. The man who walks badly is an offence to the eye and it has long been known that the better a man walks the better his physical health is likely to be. To -day, in addition to this, it is grads ually being recognized that a good walking posture improves both the mind and character. There are two causes at work to bring about this benefieient result, One of these causes operates directly, the other indirectly. It is to -day a commonplace of psych- ological observation that if a man hab- itually assumes the characteristic bodi- ly expression of any mental state he will in time find that mental state dom- inating and coloring his whole outlook on life. • Also it is a commonplace of phycho locical observation, that such mental states as courage, confidence, self reli- ance, frankness and sincerity have as their characteristic bodily expression ah involuntary straightening of the en- tire body, a slight throwing back of the shoulders and a steady, well-bal- anced poise of the head. Let a man then habitually assume this attitude when walking, and through the reflex action of the physic- al on the mental he will eventually ,ex- perience in greater degree than ever before the inner qualities of which this bodily attitude is the external expres- sion. Besides which, by experiencing these qualities in greater degree, he will do more than improve his character. He will at the same time increase his ability to do good work. For, as everybody is aware -or ought to be aware -the courageous self-reli- ant hopeful man can accomplish much more, and with infinitely less effort, than the man harassed by timidity, doubt and anxiety. Still further as • was said above, there is another way in which a good walking posture makes for increased efficiency. The man who holds himself erect, shoulders thrown slightly back, gives his lungs freer play than does the stooping, slouching man. This means that he breathes better, and this in turn means that all his physical organs receive a richer supply of blood. la particular, his brain, the supreme organ of his mind is better nourished. As a consequence it is the more re- sponsive to the demands put upon it in the course of the working day. Its possessor can think more rapidly and clearly, can concentrate his atten- tion with less fatigue, can arrive at sounder judgments. From all of which it follows that the way a man walks is in truth of far treater importance to him than is com- monly supposed. Eczema on the Read. Mr. Peterson, South Bay, Ont., writes: "For years I suffered a sort of eczema on the head. I tried four different doctors, giving each a fair trial, but the disease grew worse and spread to my arm. I got Dr. Chase's Ointmant; and it has entirely cured me. I give you my name because I want other sufferers to know about this splendid Ointment." FALL. FAIR DATES.

It is Not Surgery, but Delayed ewe,' gory, That Fails to Cars" That'cancer Is at first a local growth and not a general disease of the syp- tem Is now clearly established. This fact js of the utmost iulportanee, since In holds out a high hope of cure if the malignant .growth Is removed before it has time to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer beginning In one spat later appears elsewhere, because small particles or cells are carried away from the first site and start other growths, not because there exists pre, viously some poison In the blood which causes the disease to break out in different parts of the body. The great hope of cure, therefore, lies in remov Ing cancer entirely from the system be- fore it has a chance to spread from its first foothold. The reason why so many people came to believe that cancer was a blood disease is doubtless- because it was observed to come again in the same or other parts of the body after having been apparently cut out. It was natural to assume that when the disease kept coming back in this man- ner there must be some cause or taint in the blood which led to its breaking out in different places much like cer- tain skin diseases. The .trouble which started this falla- cious reasoning was that in those earlier days cancer was not so well understood as it now is. Surgeons then did the best they knew how, but without the advantages of modern methods they were unable successfully to exterminate the disease. The micro- scope has now shown us the paths by which cancer cells start their invasion of the body if the first and local ap- pearance is neglected. Modern sur- geons are, therefore, repeatedly suc- cessful In removing the disease once for all. As an eminent American doctor has well said, "It is not surgery, but delayed surgery, that fails to cure." OUR CALENDAR IMPERFECT. Under the Present System a Day Is Lost Every 2,500 Years. Many people are dissatisfied with the calendar. They propose to take it back and change it. They would have to go back to an act of the British parlia- ment in 1751 -that is, English speak- ing folk would -and then still farther into the recesses of time. It was that statute which later led American schoolboys into doubt as to whether George Washington was born on Feb. 22 or Feb. 11. Eleven days were lost between Julius Caesar and George Washington, but that hardly seems ap- palling enough after all to justify so many preachments on the subject of lost time, does it? The way things are arranged now it will be 2,500 years or more before we lose another day. The scientist, however, is never satis- fied with anything less than accuracy, and he wants a perfect calendar. He has taken his ideas of reform into the legislatures of several nations, but nothing has happened yet. Reform is sure to get into trouble, anyway, when it gets into politics. But truth, Brushed to earth, shall rise again, and maybe the dream of the scientist will come true. The first day of every month will fall on the first day .of the week, and so forth. The printed calendar which comes from the insurance com- pany or the grocery store will be just as good one year as another, and the months will be all alike. Probably a more durable form will be invented, so that it will last a lifetime, be moved from house to house with the rest of the furniture and be handed down to future generations as an heirloom. Time, with such a calendar, wouldn't seem so flighty. -Philadelphia Ledger. Wisdom Teeth. The so called wisdom teeth are the two last molars to grow and they have no real oonnection with the possesson of wisdom. They take their name from the time of their arrival, from twenty to twenty-five years. at which age the average person is supposed to have reached years of discretion. Cutting one's wisdom teeth means simply ar- riving at the point of completeness in physical equipment and has no direct relation to mental equipment The pos- session of these teeth is no guarantee of wisdom. They grow at about the same age in people whether they are wise or not. The Prussian Versailles. Potsdam is the Prussian Versailles and contains four palaces.
