Number of 1°!he Farmer's Advocate'
and Home Magazine," London, Out.,'
which this year has surely set its stan-
dard of variety and excellence higher
than ever. In wealth of articles relat-
ing to Dominion -wide agriculture and
beauty of illustrations, the issue is a
marvel but quite in keeping with the
paper, which stands in a distinct class
by itself, and is now entering upon its
forty-ninth year of publication, with
every promise of being more useful
than ever to its great and growing con-
stituency. The sleighing party scene
en the colored front cover is a rare work
of art that will delight everybody. The
fact that Ireland is in the world's eye
to -day as perhaps never before, lends
the charm of timeliness to the popular
article by Mr. Chauncey G. Jarvis, on
"The Achieving ,Sons of Ireland."
Everyone will turn eagerly, also to
Peter McArthur's Christmas Talk and
Mable Osgood Wright's s br
i,
illiant article:
"Song Birds -The Farmer and His
Wife." The introductory article is
a unique one, dealing with the remark-
able agricultural terminology of the
best -read book in the world. The art
reproductions in black and white include
several of the world's best modern
paintings. There are in all over sixty
beautiful engt avings. The publishers
and editors of "The Farmers Advocate"
are to be congratulated upon their
achievement, and its readers upon re-
ceiving such a publication.

WANTS HARD TIMES
Hon. T. W. Crothers, so-called Minis-
ter of Labour, on December Sth turned
his intellect towards the high cost of
living. This is what he said, -"To my
mind the high cost of living is an indi-
cation of the prosperity and expansion
of the country. If you want cheap living
give us a few years of hard times."
This novel doctrine considerably as-
tonished the country. That it is not
sound however, is shown by the fact
that for months past there has been a
decline in trade, which is being reflect-
ed in decreased customs revene, while
for the first time in many years the cry
of the unemployed is beard throughout
the land. For many people throughout
the Dominion hard times are already
here. Yet the cost of living has in-
creased in a marked degree every month
and it is still going up.
Hon. Mr. Crothers was nearer the
truth when he described himself as not
the Minister of Labour, but the Minister
of Play. It was as Minister of Play
that he with Brother Price had a joy
ride across the continent to look over
the Nanaimo strike situation, when they
succeeded in stirring up the strikers to
violence. It was as Minister ( f Play
that Mr. Crothers then hurried of with
Mrs, Crothers to England for a delight-
ful trip at the country's expense, while
the Nanaimo strike raged and the mili-
tia were called out, and are still on duty
to put down violence, while other minis-
ters dealt with severe labour troubles
on the L C. R. Hon. Mr. Crothers is
one of a number of Mr. Bordon's col-
la: goes in the Cabinet who are playing
with the interests of the people. The
next election will end their game.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smelt and completelyderange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such artieles
should never be used except on pres-
criptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they Will do is ten fold to
the good you can possible derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufact-
ured by P. 3. Cheney da Co.. Toledo,
O., contains no mercury. and is taken

A Weak Chested Boy.
"My boy Frank seemed weak -chested
and took a very severe cold," writes
Mrs. D. Stevens, Ninga, Man. '.`The
many medicines used did not seem to
benefit him, until we tried Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine and
found it to be exactly what was wanted
to cure him." No treatment is so
thorough and effective as a cure for
croup and bronchitis.

TRIES, DECEMBER 25 1913
Paper Artillery.
The extent to which paper to -day
takes the place of iron and wood and
steel in the manufacture of many arti-
cles is surprising. The paper water -
pail is now so well-known that it no
longer seems unusual; paper wheels for
railway -cars are common, if less familiar.
London Tit -Bits describes a project for
the ;most ,remarkable of all uses of
paper -as a substitute for steel in a
certain kind of cannon.
The famous Krupp works, in Ger-
many, have already manufacturedsome
of these paper cannon. They are field -
pieces designed for the special use of
infantry. Their caliber is a little less
than two inches, and they are so light
that a soldier can easily carry one, The
advantages of that facility of transpor-
tation are, of course, tremendous. And,
strange as it may seem, the resistance
of these paper guns is greater than
that of steel field -pieces of the same
caliber.
The paper cannon are not intended to
supplant those made of steel. They
are merely for use in situations where
the movement of heavy field -artillery
would be impracticable.
Eczema and Sore Eyes.
"My daughter suffered from inflamed
eyelids and eczema on her head," writes
Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Planford, Nfld.
"rhe child was in a bad state and suffer-
ed greatly. The doctor failed to help
her, and on recommendation of a friend,
I used Dr. Chase's Ointment, which
made a complete cure. With a grateful
heart I writeyou this letter,"
YOUR LOVE IS LIKE A LIGHT.
[The Los Angeles Graphic]
Your love is like a light that burns with-
in my heart --
Its warm rays fill my life. The steady
light they give
Helps me to find the will to do my daily
part;
Often I sink so low -I see your light
and live.
We meet too late, but Oh! I'm glad you
passed my way -
Our little dream house by the sea can
never be;
And yet I've spent my happiest hours
there at play -
You loved to walk at sundown on the
sands with me.
I close my eyes and almost feel your
hand once more;
You lift me in your arms across the
threshold, then
So softly kiss my lipn, my eyes that you
adore --
0, dream come true! I feel that it Will
be -but When?

RAILROD COFIIEDY
Methods of Operation in 1852
Seem Laughable Today.
QUAINT RIGHT OF WAY RULES.
On the Western and Atlantic When
Trains Met Between Stations and a
Dispute Arose the Conductors Decid-
ed Which Train Had to Back Down.
A most interesting exhibit of the
early days of railroading in this coun-
try bas been found by the Railroad
Age Gazette. It is a schedule for pas
senger trains and rules for the conduct
of enginemen and conductors ou the
Western and Atlantic, which was at
the time and still is owned by the
state of Georgia. The table is dated
March 1, 1852, and was Issued by Wil-
liam" M. Wadley, superintendent.- fa-
ther or George D. Wadley, the latter
for many years manager of the Cen-
tral Railroad of Georgia.
The schedule shows a picture of an
engine and cars at the top. Under it
the numbers and names of the sta-
tions, the tunes for arrival, the times
for departure and the time taken to
run between statious as well as re-
marks about passing sidetracked
freights are all carefully tabulated.
In the rules for enginemen and con.
ductors are many which seem quaint
in this age of colossal railroading. Of
course the road bad only one track,
and rule 14 for passenger conductors
shows that there must have been some
dispute when trains met as to which
train had the right to keep on its way
uninterrupted. This rule says:
"As a general rule, wheu trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run hack. Any dispute as
to which train is to retire is to he de.
termined at once by the conductors
without interference on the part of the
enginemen. This rule is required to be
varied in favor of the heaviest loaded
engine or worst grades if they meet
near the renter."
Rule 7 gives the conductor directions
for reporting on tbe number of passelx-
gers who are paying and the number
of ministers of the gospel who were to
be charged half price when on busi-
ness connected with'their calling. The
same rule indicated that the governor
of the state and the general superin-
tendent of the road were the only indi-
viduals
ndividuals who had a right to give passes.
The conductor was ordered to in-
spect the running gear of his train at
every station and In rule 13 was ad-
monished never to leave Atlanta or
Chattanooga without the mail or with-
out first sending to the postoffice after
it. Rule 17 says that a train stopping
at any station at night must invariably
be run nn the turnout so as to Leave'
the train track clear, and that strict
watch had to be kept in all cases
where a train stopped at night.
In the regulations for passenger en-
ginemen there are a number which
seem almost humorous in this period
of•r;tl,lroad management. For instance,
the enginemen was instructed that if
his train. killed any stock and threw
the eow or cows in such a position as
to endanger the safety of the next
train he was to stop his train and see
that the track was cleared.
aaicenger trains were not to exceed
the speed of their schedule except
when behind time, In which case the
Anted might be Increased three miles
*hour generally. In passing turnouts
.the turnout evidently was the switch-
.ing track) the speed had to be dimin-
ished to six miles an hour:
Rule 0 might be put in force today
with good effect and to the delight of
a mach jolted traveling public. It
reads:
-In connecting and in starting with
bis train the enginentan will he ex-
ceedingly careful In the ntanagemt•nt
Of the throttle so that the cars may not
be injured or the passengers annoyed
by the sudden violence of the start."
This paragraph la found at the end
of the regulations for enginemen:
"For any violation of the above
rules. for running off at turnouts, for
killing of stork by daylight and for all
other irregularities the general super-
intendent will impose such tines us he
deems just and called for by the na-
ture of the oirense."
The freight trains took two days to
make the 137 miles between Atlanta
and Chattanooga. The stops at the
ettttions varied from ten to sixty min•
otos. One of the rules for freight con-
ductors about keeping it certain dis-
tance froth the trains ahead of him
and behind him bows that there meat.
have been a delightful uncertainty
about the provisions for changing
meeting points in case trains were de-
layed, It is evident that there wan no
telegraph communication along the
line, although this was eight yearn
after Morse had demonstrated that he
could send messages over the wire
from Washington to Baltimore. Sev-
eral
everal months before Charles Minot also
had made use of the telegraph in

Erle.
