Charles C'orrovo,
Sept. 18—Dirth of Dr. Johnston
Two hundred and eighteen years
ago, on the 13th of September,
170a, Dr. Samuel Johnston, one of
the great outstanding figures in
the annals of English. literature,
was born in cathedral city of Lich-
field, where his father was in bus-
iness as a bookseller.
His early education at lo"al
schools was a very scanty one, b
he made such a profound study of
the books in hie father's :tore that
he was a fully qualified : eholaf
when he went. to Oxford 1;niver tty

aI" funds he was compelled to 1,131-17

Jut taking a degree, and during 1tI
rt•xt five years he was in tarn a
school usher, a tutor and a pub-

which the Doctor was likely to say
something remarkable, and all tate

compiled his famous "Life of John-

The Local Printer
Many business men, when considering the cost of
any particular job of printing, look only at the small
sum they may be able to save at the time on any ord-
er. They fail to ask themselves what the carpetbag-
ger leaves with them throughout the year as compared
with the local publisher and members of his staff. He
also seems to forget that if ho and his fellow business
men would get more of their printing requirements
done in their home town the publisher might• be able
to employ additional help, which would still further
swell the amount of money to be spent in the home
to vn.
Always remember 1 A dollar spent with a firm in
a distant town is gone forever so far as its service to
the community is concerned. A, dollar spent with
other firms in the home town stays there and performs
m uly good services in its own community. Get your

WINTERING SURPLUS QUEENS
AND WHY
In the fall there will be found in
most apiaries a few colonies that
are considered too weak for safe
winter'ng and these: are generally
united to make one strong colony
in place of two or more weak ones.
The usual method of tinitin how-
ever, results in the loss of many
good queens that might be of great
value the following spring. For
the past five or six years the bee
Division of the Dominion Experim-
ental Farms has been very success
£ul in uniting weak colonies as fol-
lows:—During the latter end of
September or early in October
half the combs are removed from
each weak colony. In the centre
of half these treated colonies is
placed a tight fitting division board
so that the combs and bees of the
colony are on one side of it. The
combs and bees from the other col-
onies are then brought over and
placed on the opposite side of the
division so that there are now two
weak colonies in one hive but com-
pletely separated from each other.
A block of wood is placed in the
entrance of the hive so that it pro-
vides two small entrances, one at
each corner of the front. This
block should be pushed in so that
it will touch the front edge of the
division board. Late swarms, nuc-
lei or bees from mating boxes can
be brought together in this manner
and will winter safely in cellar or
packing case.
In the spring these extra queens
are very useful to replace drone
\laying or failing queens or to re-
queen colonies that became queen-
less during the winter. It is often
difficult to obtain queens in the
early spring and in any case much
valuable time is lost in brood reta-
in), anti a few sorpius queens in
the apiary at this time will often
turn useless colonies into honey
producers,

A of deer hunting has resulted not in
the vanishing of the deer but in the
increase of deer. This is not as
mysterious as it sounds. The more
men penetrate the wilds the fewer
wolves remain. The driving out of
wolves has been the greatest factor
in the increase of deer. But there is
another factor almost as important
as the wolves. The invasion of the
backwoods by an army of enlightened
sportsmen has demanded a much
stricter and more sporting regard for
game laws than was the custom some
years ago. Destroyers of deer whether
human or animal, have to deal with
a strong and more or less organized
public opinion.

Reassuring news has been coming
in daily to the offices of the general
tourist department of the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company from oper-
ators of camps, guides outfitters and
others who report that all signs point

Interest on both sides of the Atlantic
has recently been summed by the
gracious solicitude of their Majesties
I{ing George and Queen Mary of
Englana for the welfare and -comfort
of the least -known and loneliest island
colony in the world,
Romance blows with the wind
from every solitary island; and the
romance of Tristan da Cunha is its
grandear of isolation, the struggle for
existence of the few inhabitants of
its rock-bound shores and the ex-
periences of a sailor who left
as a heritage to the island the
belief that somewhere amid the rocks
is 'to be found a wealth of pirate
treasure. The island is distant from
its nearest neighbor, St. Helena ---
Isle of Napoleonic memories--, by
1500 miles anti is far Iron the path
of ships, rarely indeed' receiving a
visit from the great and htesy world
beyond the homey: a world which,
marching along (10'1; highway of pro-
gress, has all 100 forgotten this out-
post of civilization in the desert of the
8011011 Atlantic Ocean.
In 1;114, during the war with Great
Britain, an English garrison occupied
this strategic island. There they
found three Americans one ofswl1om,
,lonathan. Lambert, "of Salem, a
citizen and mariner thereof", is
reputed to .have sailed the 5110 as a
buccarneel'. As a pirate the ran untrue
to form somehow escaping. the yard
arm and public hangings Chet have
been their traditional fate. The story
goes that he came to Tristan in order
to hoard, in a secret place, tate 11ooty
i.
nt r1rfl •' r •in , rod and
plundered on the roaring Spanish
Main.
Thus the place is invested with the
magic spell of a Treasure Island, aha,
to this day,.the islanders believe that
within its bounds is to be found a
rich • hoard of doubloons, moidores,
pieces of eight or Louis d'or. Whether
this be true -or not Lambert, when
found by the English, was engaged in
the peaceful occupation of preparing
the skius and oil of seale, with which
the shores abounded These were
exchanged for provisions' with any
passing ships; and the trade appears
to have been,so lucrative, that Lam-
bert was encouraged to issue a (00-
clamatfon, inviting all the world fe
trade with the island. Of 10 Lambert
declared .himself the sovereign lard,
"grounding" as he is claimed to have
said, 1emy right and chem on the
rational and sure ground of absolute
occupancy.”
The continuous Occupation of Tris-
tan da Cunha began, 100700 01,
1817 when, on the withdrawal of the
garrison, \Vilham Glass, of 1,0e,
