PRESENTED A BIBLE TO THE PRINCE OF WALES • Upon his recent visit to Toronto his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales graciously accepted the gift of a Bible from the Upper Canada Bible Society. The presentation was very fittingly made at the Exhibition grounds, where for many years the society has had a booth for the disposing of Bibles to visitors at the Erhibition. The Bible was 'presented by Dr. N. W. Hoyles, K.C., LL.D., president Of the society, in a fAt well chosen ire - marks. WHEN IS A PERSON DEAD BY DROWNING? ' "Found drowned" is a note that ap- pears only too often on the report books ot the life-saving stations along the coast. But what does the word "drowned" mean? Not dead, necessarily. A per- son may be drowned and yet may "come alive again." So it would at least appear from the records of the coast guard. The lifesavers of the coast guard are all thoroughly instructed in the art of resuscitating the drowned. They are frequently drilled in the practice of it and know. exactly how to go about the business. The ancient method of rolling a drowned person on a barrel has bean superseded by more scientific processes. In many an instance where doctors have declared persons to be absolute- ly -and Impales& dead they have nevertheless been revived by, per- sistent efforts. A standing order of the coast guard requires its 'life- savers in such cases to keep on with the work for at least half an hour, even 'where the heart has stopped beating and there is no sign of life whatever.

CAhADA'S WELCOME GRATIFIES BRITAIN "People of the Dominion Are Surpassing All Expectations." A despatch f •om London says:—All London newspapers are featuring the extraordinarily enthusiastic welcome the Prince of Wales .is receiving in Canada. The Westminster Gazette says:— "No one ever doubted that the Prince would receive such a welcome; his position, his personality and the part he played in the struggle wherein the Canadians bore so great a share were sufficient to assure that. But the people of the Dominion are sur- passing all expectations by the hearti- ness of their welcome and by the keen pleasure they are obviously taking in the Prince's visit, In the midst of all these manifestations of public in- terest and of his own popularity,' the Prince is bearing himself well, die: playing that quiet courtesy and mod- esty which have already endeared him to the people at home." • Tho Female of the Species. We usually think of roosters as proverbial fighters and of hens as decidedly lacking in spirit. On occa- sion, however, the hens can be brave as the bravest. I once witnessed, writes a subscriber, an exhibition of courage on the part of a hen that de- serves to be recorded. She was a white topnot of eccentric disposition—which is 0/10 way of say- ing that she preferred to select her own nests. She chose the spare -room bed for that purpose, and had ac- cumulated four eggs before she was discovered and ignominously shooed, out of the window. Highly indignant, she disappeared under -the • barn, whence she emerged several weeks later with- eleven chicks. . Beyond introducing the eleven into the kitchen one day when the door had inadvertently been left open, Madam White displayed no more ec- centricity than any '6ther hen, But one clay treie arose a mighty uproar in the back yard. Such a cackling, squawking and peeping surely por- tended dire calamity. We rushed to the floor just in time to Zee a hawk getting the surprise of his life. He had evidently .swooped down for 'one of the chickens, and Madam White, with beak and claws and wings, was giving him a drubbing that threatened permanently .to disable him. Suddenly a auric shape swept dorm to the ground, there was a piercing peep, and Madam White turned to see the hawk's mate in the act of seizing one of her brood. Quick as thought, she flew to the rescue. Up into the air went the hawk, and with it went Ambassador ial Privileges Ambassadors have curious privi- leges. Most people know that they and their bouseholds are immune from arrest, an embassy being con- sidered a geographical part of the Ambassador's own country, But there are many privileges less well known. The Ambassador is the only person about a court who has the right to turn his back on the sovereign or ruler at the conclusion of an audience. And, curiously enough, he always exercises this right, turning to bow after walking three paces. This, of course, refers only to state occasions. This winked rather oddly in Queen Victoria's time:. To turn one's back on it lady would bo rude, to • retire backward would be to resign a pri'vt- lege, se the Ambassadors always com- with and file bills on. - promised by edging sideways toward the door like a crab. Another privilege ot Ambassadors is the right of having both leaves of the folding doors thrown open when being .usligred into the ruler's pres- ence, No on eelse can claim this privi• lege, '- Another highly prised Privilege of the Ambassador—ono that sovereigns must often regret—is that of being able to demand an interview when- ever he chooses, at any hour of the day or night. The sword is tho Ambassador's em- blem of honor. It is a long rapier with a blunted point. One groat dip- lomatist, the late Lord Dufforin, used to saKethat the only practical use he ever found for it was to poke fires Madam White. The hawk tried its best to shake her off, but the hen hung on, fighting desperately, until the hawk was forced to drop the chicken and beat a retreat. Madam White prone to earth with a thud and a flop, gathered her flock about her, and retired to the shelter of the currant bushes, where she talk- ed about the occurrence in gutturals for some time. Neither of the cap- tured chickens sustained any serious injury, and the old grenadier brought the entire brood to maturity, A Personal Question. "Person" in the dictionaries is des. eribed as "an individual human being." But it is not so in England from a le- gal standpoint, as women do not come within the class. This was revealed recently when the Royal Astronomi- cal Society of London decided to ad- mit women as fellows of the council. The plan was found to be impossible until the society had its charter al- tered. SLAUGHTER OF. CERISTIANS WAR SONO rilartyrA in North-West Persialoibi,litoez Hacked - despatch from London says;—A terrible story of the martyrdom of the Christians of Northwest Panda 133 told in the Paily News, • It is tier, rated by ono of their number, Dr. tonan. Seen after the war began, Dr,. Yonan says, the Russians came to Urtnnyah, in the province of Azarbaijer, and induced the, Christians from Assyrian battalions to fight against the Turks. There was a bat- tle in Urumiyah gebruaryl 1918, which the Christfans were victori- ous, After this the heroic, but small, Christian force fought fourteen bat- tles with the Turks and Persians and routed their enemies. But no help came from the allies and,,the defeat of the Armenians cut off the Chris- tians from the Syrians, By the end of July, 1918, their ammunition was exhauated, and the Turks were at the gates of Urumiyah. The Christians who dwelt at Salinas, a fertile plain on the north side of Lake Urumiyah, had been massacred and flight was the only course left to those of Ur- umiyah. So 75,000 men, women and children left their homes, in a vast preeession, taking with them such property as they could collect hurriedly. Those who could not escape sought refuge in the American and French missions.

King Edward VII. Recipient of Many of the Tostlmonlals—$1,250 Be. • queethed to Queen Vleteria. Many monarchs of Kurope, not to speak of other personagee .of royal 0)0 00100100, frequently receive legacies have been ignorant -• from subjects of whose existence they Tho late King Edward received many of these testimonials from his subjects at their death, and of living rulers, the ex -kaiser and the late em- peror of Ramat' once wore the princt- pal legatees of admirers. Wilhelm once had left him by a Munich testator the sum of 325,000, "as a bumble subject's mark of ap- preciation of the splendid monarchical and statesmanlike qualities which His Majesty has displayed, and to signify dissent from the criticisms that are from time to time leveled at Not all the Germans who made their wills in favor of the Kaiser were so flattering, for nnce a tradesman in Berlin sought to make the emperor Ills heir only on condition that he Should bring about certain changes in his mode of public address. The sav- ings of this tradesman remained in his own family. Edward Vit, was the possessor of a portrait that served as a constant re. minder of the most curious will that was ever made in favor of a royal family. The picture was that of Henry W. Gibbs, Q.C., C,B., who, for a:period of six years, in the fifties, was the private tutor of Edward, then Prince of Wales. In the will wherein Mr. Gibbs bequeathed this painting to. his ,former pupil, he also left to Queen Victoria a packet of letters "in the red box that contains my patent as queen's counsel," To the present king, George V. (then Duke of York), tp ,,,the then Duchess of Fife, be Victoria obfeciuoenaa,11::: d;e81(1.... guineas each, while -IQ -411e Princesses 500 each. In the case of the latter, however, the will was. revoked on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Charles' al Denmark, but a codicil -made her the recipient of one hundred guineas, so that it should not appear that she was forgotten. - Left All to Queen Victoria. An odd feature of legacies left to royalty is that they sometimes come from misers, who, either through enmity toward their own kinsfolk or because they are friendless, make their sovereign their heir. A well- known instance in this relation was that of one "Daddy East," as he was called,, who, some thirty 'Years ago, left every cent he possessed to Queen Victoria. East was well known to Londoners who frequented the Bloomsbury region. It is said that he was the most successful beggar that ever prowled that quarter. He lived in a dirty cellar and dressed in rags, a circumstance that led no one to suspect that he was the possessor of quite a fortune. -- It would seem, however, that the police had their. suspicions, for when he died a thorough search was 10ade by them of his cellar, with the result that over L500 in gold was found hid- den under the cellar floor. Another curious will, made in favor of a member 01 the Guelph family, was that drawn by an eccentric old country lady' at the time Edward, in his younger days, was making his tour of India. The testator directed that 41250 should bo forwarded to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, a sum Which it was hoped' "would help in some trifling degree to pay the enormous‘ expense which the heir apparent's trip had involved." Reproducing Rare Carpets. Carpets now on display in a London shop will, in the opinion of the Times, surprise those. who aro unacquainted with the strides made in the mem, facture 61 carpets by British factories during the war. The carpets are claimed to be exact reproductions of rare eastern carpets and are being of- fered at prices not much higher than those of ordinary loom production. The most remarkable feature about them is considered to be the true reit- dering of that eastern lustre which has hitherto defied successful copying. Some of the most notable reproduc• tions aro those of the seventeenth con, tury coronation carpets which were made for the Shah of Persia; the Khorassan rug, and the famous ear. pet manufactured for the Sheik Is - Museum 02 the original of which hangs in London; and there aro copies of the Victoria and Albert others 'from the cathedrals. and art galleries of the world. The carpets vary in size and haze all been made in a British factory during the past three or four years. "Housewives' Shoulder."
