PERRIN & COMPANY LIMITED LONDON, • • CANADA Convict Reid Killed. Es-Oonetahle Robert J. Rend, form- erly of the Winnipeg police, who en- gineered the Krafchenko escape con- spiracy, was fatally injured Saturday afternoon and died, following an acci- dent at Stoney Mountain Peniten- tiary. With a twenty-year convict, named Hawkins, Reid was working on a high scaffold when it collapsed and both were thrown to the ground, a distance of forty feet. _Hawkins was so badly injured he lived only a short time. Both of Reid's legs were broken and his skull fractured but he died the same evening. Reid was born at Auburn, Huron Co., 20 years ago. His mother is living at Luck - now. The Athlete That Lost. A story tom by William G. Burns, in charge of the Weather Bureau in Springfield, I11. ; "I knew a boy 113 Washington, D, 0, (my old home), who was as perfect a pieture of bud- ding manhood as it was ever my privi- lege to see. He was handsome, athle- tic, vivacious and full of youthful en- ergy. I lost eight of hire for two or three years, When next I saw him he had degenerated into a decrepit, palsied wreck. The flower of youth had left his cheeks, Hollow -chested with a hacking cough, he told me how he had become a •victim of the cigar- ette habit. Shortly afterward he died. I have not the time to go into detalle, but the transformation in this proniis- ing boyo made a sad and lasting inpreeti Bion.

This was sent me by a former Seaforth friend, wbo thinks we should take warning ;— You've a very narrow skirt, Little Girl,. Are you sure it doesn't hurt, Little Girl ? That's a mincing little stride Where the street is wild and wide ? Are you sure there's room inside, • Little Girl? What will happen if you slip, Little Girl ? Aren't you fearful it will rip, Little Girl ? You had better take a sack, So if anything should crack, It would serve you coming back, Little Girl? Does your mamma know you're out, Little Girl ? We're afraid to go about, Little Girl ? If we meet you in the sun, With your skirt so thinly spun, Why, we might all have to run, Little Girl. Let the bottom out a bit, Itis much too tight to fit, Little Girl. As the matter sadly stands, You'll be walking on your hands, And in that event—lands Little Girl. The Eclipse In August.' ' The eclipse of the Sun on August 21 is an event of some importance. Only a part of the eclipse at sunrise will be visible in the northern part of the American continent. The British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science has issued a bulletin calling attention, to the ex- ceptional opportunities that will be afforded by the total eclipse of the Sun on August 21st for studying the effect of light and darkness upon radiotelegraphy. The eclipse will be total along a strip extending from Greenland across Norway, Sweden, Russia and Persia to the mouths of the Indus. In Russia, the duration of totality will be a little more than two minutes. There are two ,main points calling for investigation during the eclipse. In the first place, the probagation of signal -bearing waves through air in the umbra and penum- bra will probably obey laws different as regards absorption and refraction from those obeyed in illuminated air. Ie the second place, the strength. frequency and character of natural electric waves, and of atmospheric discharges, may vary. To investigate the probagation of signals across the umbra, it will be necessary to arrange for wireless telegraph stations on either side of the central line of the eclipse to transmit signals at intervals while the umbra passes between them. It is thus very desirable that the Scandinavian and Russian stations should transmit frequently throughout several minutes before, during, and after totality. But stations other than those favored by their proximity to the central line should endeavor to keep a complete record of the varia- tions of signals during the eclipse. Stations in Europe west of the central line, and stations in the Mediterranean and in Asia Minor, may find notice- able changes in the strength of signals, particularly long distance signals, between the hours of 10 a.m. 3 p.m., Greenwich time; and it is probable that the stations of India and E tst Africa, and ships in the Indian Ocean, may feel the effect of the penumbra in the afternoon. On the other hand, shipe in the Atlantic, and fixed stations in Eastern Canada and the United States, will probably be affected by the penumbra in the early morning. At Montreal, the eclipse (partial) is at its greatest phase at 5:52 a.m. Standard Time. Will Answer All Purposes. There is scarcely a thing a woman cannot do with a hair pin. They use it to pick their teeth; button their shoos, clean their finger naile, punch bed bugs out of creaks, fasten up stray bangs, clean out the stems of their husbands' pipes, scratch their heady, clean out their ears, trim lamp wick, run it into a cake to see if it is suf- ficiently done, and about a million other things the poor deluded men know nothing about; and they do it alt with the same hair pia. ee-e—eseas— 'ease* A matter worth the attention of the health authorities is afforded by the custom among cigar -makers of biting off the tobacco at the end, with their teeth and finishing the cigar by plas- tering down the outside leaves with saliva. We cannot say how extensive this custom is, but from our acquain- tance With cigar•makers it appears to be not uncommon. The excuse given for this unsanitary method is that, while the rnanagersedo not actually demand it, it is practically impossible to finish a cigar to meet the demands of the foremen without resorting to it. The practice,if generally known, ought to diminish the sale of cigars on eethetie consideration alone, to say nothhag_of the very obvious danger of the transmission of disease•tuborcu- losee, for example, which is quite prevalent among cigar makers. The practice is injurious not only to the coetenier but to the workman as well. The frrolitent occurrence of funetiolial atoinach disease, among them is at least greatly favored by tbie practice AZI1014 thein..

CROOKED BILLET INN, London's Oldest Publio House and Ito Romantic Interior. The Crooked Billet, an inn which stands upon Tower bill, boants Itself, says the Loudon Graphic, as the oldest public house in London. How far back its history goes it would be Impossible to say. The records are wanting, but there is every reason to believe that the inn dates from the time of Henry VIII. Certainly no London Inn is more romantic In the matter of sliding pan- els and concealed doors, secret rooms and underground passages—one of these reputedly leads to the Tower— and thick walls richly carved. In the principal reception room are to be seen some magnificent oak pan eliugs, a quaiutly carved freize above the door and a no less richly carved mantelpiece. The ceiling is covered with a number of strange devices, with a female bead—belleved to represent Queen Elizabeth—in the center. The windows looking out upon the street are fastened with shutters clamped with huge iron bars. There is a tradition that Oliver Cone welt once lived (or lodged) at the Crooked Billet. The place was known In those days as "the old house at the bottom of the Minories." FOR THE POULTRY BEGINNER. Determine the seltedule and ration for feeding the chicks.

An interesting story of the life and work of the first man to make a reli- able map of Japan was told by Col. E. B. Knobel at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Lon- don. Ino Chuket, he said, was a very remarkable man. Born in 1747, he carried on business as a brewer until about 1800, amassing considerable money. Late in life he asked to be allowed to make a map of Japan at his own expense. For eighteen years he continued his labors, employing thirteen assistants, including four pu- pils, and the result of his work was afterward incorporated in fourteen volumes. All the instruments he used were of his own construction. PLOWED UP EVERYWHERE. Have your bos'se's teeth attended to by a veterinarian at least once a year. Spread the grain out thin in a large, shallow feed box to prevent the horse from eating too fast. A black soil owes its color to the presence of organic matter. This meaus that the soil is' well supplied with nitrogen. In some black soils, however, there is an excess of noxious salts, as iu the case of "black alkali" soils. In carrying a dead hog or sheep take a horseshoe in each band, let the per- son on the opposite side put his hands underneath the animal and also take bold of the shoes.

The Censes and Statistics Office leas bulletin issued to- day states that according to returns from its crop correspondents, made on May 6, about 19 p. c. of the area sown to fall wheat in Ontario has been win- ter -killed, this percentage represent- ing a reduction of 132,000 acres, i.e. from 694,000 acres, the area sown, to 502,000 acres, the area expected to be harvested. In Alberta, the other large fall wheat province, fall wheat has been killed to the extent of 15.0 p. c., representing 36,000 acres, which will make the area to be harvested 193,000 acres instead of 229,000 acres, the area sown last fall, At the corres- ponding date last year the percentages reported of fall wheat during the win- ter of 1912-13 were for Ontario 18 p. c. and for Alberta 43 5 p. c., so that whilst the winter killing of wheat in Ontario is this year slightly more than it was last year in Alberta it is very considerably less, this favorable result being attributable to the mild winter in the west. The total area estimated to be sown to fall wheat, including be- sides Ontario and Alberta, 3,000 acres in Manitoba, 78,000 acres in Saskatche- wan and 2,700 acres in British Colum- bia, was 1,006,700, now reduced by winter killing in Ontario and Alberta to 838,700 acres. The condition of fall wheat on May 6 was in Ontario returned as 81.3 p. c, and in Alberta as 87,8 p. c. of a stan- dard representing the promise of a full crop, the percentages on April 30, 1913 being 83.4 p. c. in Ontario and 70 p. c. in Alberta, For all Oanada, the condition of fall wheat on May 0 this year was 83 p. c. of the standard, or 103 p. c. of the average condition of the past five years represented by 100. Ou April 30 1913 the corresponding figures of condition of fall wheat for all Oanada were 82 p. c. of a standard or 101 p. c of the average condition of the previous four years. The condition of the fall wheat crop this year is, in fact, superior to that of any year since 1910 when the record was over 86 p. c. of the standard. Upon the whole, spring seeding was well advanced except in the Maritime provinces, where the spring this year is reported as abnormally late and in Quebec where not more than from 3 to 5 p, c. of spring seeding was reported to have been done by allay 0. In On- tario at this date about 24 p. c, of wheat, 43 p, c. of oats and 41 p. c. of barley had been got in, and 40 p. c. of the total seeding was reported as com- pleted on May 6 as against the same proportion last year on April 30. In Manitoba 57, in Saskatchewan 79 and in Alberta 88 p.c. of the spring wheat crop was reported as seeded by May 6, these proportions comparing favour- ably with the progress reported last year on April 30. For the five pro- vinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta the pro- portion of seeding reported as effected on May 6 was about 48 p.c. for wheat, 23 p.c. for oats, 10 p.c, for barley and 37 p.c. for all crops. About 11 p.c. of the area in hay and clover meadows is reported as winter - killed as compared with 22 p.c. last year, The average condition of these crops on May 6 was 86.7 p,c. as com• oared with 80,6 p.c. last year and 74 6 in 1912. The condition of the live stock eomains genet ally satisfactory being reported for all Canada as over 90 p.e, of a standard representing a healthy and thrifty state. FOR COMlNL COLD DAYS.
