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 -

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on a barrel has bean superseded by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.

.KEEP IN TUNE,
Communities are like people. They are apt to get "OUT OF TUNE." fIARIVIONY . is ?3r7.-.-0)1lity!s
mopt valuable asset. Without it little can be accomplished. When the town is OFF KEY It is on the down
grade. Something should be done ALL of the time to keep our community in TUNE. We are apt to overlook
this, and only TUNE UP spasmodically. In the INTERVALS we are apt to forget we are part of 0 COMMUNITY.
We lapse into mere individuals and lose our COMMUNITY sense. We can't go too far in an effort to preserve
community Harmony. Let's all work in order to keep ON THE KEY.
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

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.

GIFTS TO KINGS

taBAGIES FROM Shill SU3J8CT8 QUITg

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

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

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
