over -exercise or excess, if they do
not appear at once, often come up

This theory also applies to mental

relative being serious for twenty-
three days, and then suddenly pass-

Lastly, according to Dr. Swobada,
men succumb on a critical day—

my opinion, of great importance to

days when they feel unaccountably

"It is my view that these bad
days are often caused through the
weather, particularly when there is

' At such times the nervous sys-

the sufferer is far more liable to

times.
On `bad' days one is also went-

crimes are committed on such days

the spring and autumn.
"Every main knows from the mo-
merit of waking when he is in for a
bad day. What should he do? It
may sound impracticable, but my
advice is as follows:
"He should go out into the conn-
by by himself, and, if it is summer,
lie in a field and think of nothing
but cows. He should also avoid
eating meat."--

In its struggle to get dairy far-

better cows, build more healthful
stables, take better care of their
soil, use more intelligence in feed-
ing and handling the herd, Hoard's
'Dairyman Lias held up the ideal,

work toward this end they
will miss the best profit on their

They lack a true, clear ideal in
the mind of good dairy farming,
Just as long as a farmer has a low
icleal of dairy cows he will remain
content with poor cows. Put a
different idea of cows into his
mind, and he starts at once to keep
a different grade of cows; and so it

"Reading the Dairyman has

He tells farther of how his neigh-

bred dairy bull; how hey had op-
posed every step betook for im-

will quickly pay ten dollars more

SUICIDIC CLi l3 .4T SCHOOL.
Boys Drew Lots to Sec Who Should
Die first.
The existence of a suicide club
has been revealed at the school at
Clermont Fernand in Franco, where
the lad named Meny, aged fourteen,
shot himself in the class•
room,
Three of the boys drew lots to
decide who should kill himself first.
The lot fell to Meny, and when he
hesitated his comrades accused hint
of cowardice. On the evening be-
fore he blew his brains out they
held a rehearsal of the tragedy, and
chalked out on the classroom floor
the place where Menu was to stand
when shooting himself.
A list has been found in posses-
sign of one of the boys naming those
who were either to commit suicide
or be "put out of the way" because
they knew' too much about the sur-
code club.
Ten minutes before Meny took
his life his neighbor borrowed a
watch frern another boy and said
t o Meny, "Tau know that you must
kill yourself at twenty minutes past
three. You have now only ten
nlinttte> to lire." When he nttch•ed
the wards, `Til time has come!"
the unh+appy lad •rose, •walked to
the spot minced in chalk, placed the
revolver to his brad and pulled

eanie Hill.
The Rosshire and Argyllshire Bat-
teries of the 4th Highland Mountain
Artillery Brigade - at present in'
training at the Piersgill Barracks,
Edinburgh, accomplished a notable
feat by taking six of their artillery
pieces right up to the summit of
Arthur's Seat, the famous volcanic
hill, 822 feet high, near H°lyrood
Palace.
Each gun was carried in sections
by five ponies, whose burdens are
respectively the axle, wheels, car-
nage, breech and chase, with two
ponies for the conveyance of am -
munition.
Several guns were taken all the
way by ponies, though a false step
would have led to a disastrous fall
down a steep declivity into St.
Anthony's Valley. In some cas�c•s
during the last stage of the ascent
the guns were carried by the men,
who accntuplished without arcideni
