SILENCES
,AWay' in shadowed depths of Sum-
mer woods,
Where through the noon of day no
sound is heard,
A hush that throbs amongst the
fragrant flowers
Soft wings of air, and mutes each
singing bird.
And o'er the sleeping fpurpie-breast-
ed; moor
A haze -heat survives far across', and
tells'
How bees drop down, with honey
sweetness cloyed,
And breezes shake the heather's
e'oundlesis bells',
And In the secret places of my soul,
Where no man enters', thoughts go
dreaming by;
I stretch beyond this world of time
and space,
And, find In silence there -that God
te nigh.

Honeymoon
Originated
Among •the northern rations of
Europe, in ancient times, it was the
custom for newly married eoupies
to drink methegldn or mead (a kind
of wine made from honey) for thirty
days after marriage. Antiquarians
say that from this oust= the term
"honey month" or "honeymoon" ori-
ginated. • Whether or not that le Its
origin, it is known that in the days
of marriage by capture the bride-
groom remained at hiding with his
bride until her kinsmen •tired of the
vermeil for her. Later, when love
entered marriage, and elopements
were frequent, the bride and bride-
groom remained In hiding for a

Perilous Porcupine
A ,story comes to as of a porcu-
pine that kilted a lion; two of its
quills pierced the lion's •heart!
Porcupines are not dangerous if not
molested, but their weapons are
deadly to attackers•. Dogs, for in-
stance, can never bunt the porcu-
pine successfully, for all it has to
do Is' to roll into a ball end present
an array of miniature lances to the
enemy. In India and Africa it is
common in the jungle to come
across dead' animals far larger than
the 6rorcupine, with quills in their
bodies', the sole evidence of mortal
combat,
Ifnio!d.en,taIdy, porcupines make ex-

By Blacksmith

opentl here Inst week was cleared

ed a practical joke was responsible

high as $25,000 being found In the

found the money when -they opened
the safe for T. C. Hemphill, local
mill owner.
Inquiries showed, however, Mr.
Hemphill secured the safe, with,
machinery purchased from a Guelph
plant. Tbe safe had no dial and
no handle, and the mill owner
laughingly told Mr. Martin, a
blacksmith, he could have anything
he could find in it -if he snroceeled
in opening the strong box.
Tbe box finally was opened, and
according to onlookers' the "smith"
found several rolls of currency.
He did not divulge the amount, but
the firs etorles said $5,000 and the
sum finally reached $25,000,
But, when inquiries' were made,
it was revealed the safe had prev-
iously been forced open, that
nothing had been found in it, and
that to impress the group who hangs
around the shop he had placed
money in it, and then "opened" the
safe a second. time.
