has other perils to face than those of
high altitudes and unknown ' and
treacherous ways. The natives be-
lieve that the topmost peaks .of the
World's- greatest mountain range are
guarded by a mystdrious race, known
as the Abominable Snow Men.
These Snow Men have been des-
cribedby natives, who claim to have
seen them, as white -skinned, ape -like
figures, naked and cowered with thick
hair. Once, on the 1929 expedition to
Kanchenjunga, Mr. E. 0. Shebbeare
was told by his porters that they had
seen the footprints of a Snow Man in
the snow. He accompanied them to
inspect the prints, but by the time
he reached the place there had been
a fresh fallof snow .and any marks
which 'might have existed had been
obliterated.
Whether there is any -foundation in
fact for the legend of the Abominable
Snow Men no one knows—at high al-
titulles sunshine and shadow play
strange tricks, and 'awe inspiring ap-
paritions seen- in these circumstances
may have a perfectly natural explana-
tion as a trick of Vision. But the -na-
tives can point :to the fact that, out of
the 600 or so I-Iiinaiayan peaks that
are over 25,000 feet, not one has ever
been scaled.
The Secret of the Brocken.
o Once the peaks are mastered the le-
gends may begin to die. That is what
happened in the case of the Matter-
horn. Until this famous mountain
was conquered by the climbers the
Swiss peasants believed that it was
peopled by devils.
There are various stories of haunt-
ed
aunted hills and mountains nearer home.
Some of the "Welsh mountains, espe-
cially those in which there are disused
mine workings, have long been sup-
posed to be peopled by goblins, and.
there is a strange spectre—a shadowy,
giantlike form—that has been seen
on one of the Scottish mountains:
Here, again, natural causes are pos-
sibly responsible for the apparition.
This was the case with the most fa-
mous of all the mountain ghosts—the
spectre of the Brocken. The Brocken
is the highest point In the Harz Moun-
tains, in Saxony, and the "spectre"
took the form of a giant shape strid-
ing across the sky, and repeating
every motion of the observer, as if in
mockery. This r: xarition was finally

on. It was found that when the sun
was low, mists were on '.'ie other side,
and the summit itself was free from
clouds, the greatly magnified shadow
of anyone on the mountain would be
cast on the mist-curtain.—Answers.

Mark Twain.—Apparently he never
had lila hair cut; it fell in dark mass-

he rolled widely to right and left, in
the manner of a sailor in a musical:

happened to turn around, waited for
him to pass, then remained as if hyp-

wore garments to match, appearing in
Washington drawing rooms in evening
clothes the color of snow.—William

Launder all washable garments be-
fore storing them away for the sum-

examined carefully for spotstend
stains. Ordinary spots will readily
dissolve in warm, soapy water. If it
is necessary to 1150 a special stair
remover, care should be taken to

ly to rot the fabric. It is well to
rinse in water containing bicarbonate
of soda.
It is not necessary to iron garments
to be stored away. Roll each piece
separately, place in a box, and seal
the box by pasting pieces of gummer
paper over the oenings. • Some house-
wives advise rolling in newspaper. As
an additional safeguard, camphor
balls or some reliable moth repellent
may be placed in the box.
Garments which cannot be washed
should be dry-cleaned or brushed
thoroughly and hung outside on a
sunny clay before being packed away.

IS BABY TEETHING?
Teething time is a time of worry to
most mothers. The baby fa nervous;
fretful; feverish. His little gums are
swollen and sore; diarrhoea, constipa-
tion, colic and sometimes convulsions
set in—neither baby nor mother can
sleep.
•These troubles can be quickly ban-
ished, however, through the use of
Baby's Own Tablets, concerning which
Mrs. Louis Grubb, 'Teeswater, Ont.,

Interesting Origin
Of Age -Old Odioms
White, illephaut.—The King of Siam
Used to present a white elephant to
the courtiers whom he wished to ruin.
As the white elephant was sacred, it
could not be disposed of in any way,
and the expense of keeping it usually
proved sufficiently disastrous.
Al.—In Lloyd's Register of Shipping
the character of the shop's bull is de-
signated by letters, and that of the
ship'sfittings by numerals. Al means
hull first-rate, fittings first-rate. A2,
hall first -rale, but anchors, cables, or
stores second-rate.
Let the cat out of the bag.—It was
formerly a trick among country folk
to substitute a cat for a .suckling pig
and to bring it in a bag t0 market. If
any greenhorn chose to bey a "pig in
a poke" without examination, all very
well, but if he opened the sack; the
trick was disclosed. '
Turncoat,—A certain Duke whose
domains lay between France and Sax-
ony designed for himself a reversible'
coat, blue on one side and white ou
the other. When it was convenient to
be thought an ardent French support-
er, he wore the white side out, when
he sought Saxon favors, he wore the
blue.
Take the cake.—The prize for the
negro rake -walk 10 virtually a rake..
The couples walk around the calve,
and umpires decide which pair walk
the most gracefully.
Show the white feather.= -In the
cock -pit, no game cock has a white
feather. It indicates a e1'ocs-breed hu
birds.
Quiz.—Fable thus accounts for this
word, which was not forted prior to
1780: Mr- Daly, manager of a Dublin
theatre, laid a wager that he could in-
troduce a new word, with no meaning,
into the language within twenty -tour
hours. Aceordiugly, on every wall
these four mystic letters were chalked
up, and over night all Dublin was in-
quiring what it meant, The wager
was won, and the word remains cur-
rent in the language.
The conjurer's turn had not been
,going too well. The audience receiv-
ed each trick in stony silence.' Not
to be daunted however, 13e stuck
steadily to his task. "Ladies and
gentlemen," he said, "if any person
will oblige me with an egg, I will per-
form an amazing diaappearing trick."
Nobody seemed able to produce the
article and after a momentary silence.
a voice called out from the gallery:

'ave got it long ago,"

Linked by Air Route
Lords Hear Minister's Report
R-100 - Must Pass All
Tests. Before Flight
London;.—The airlines of the Bri-
tish Empire are expanding rapidly,
and rank second only In mileage to
those of the United States, • declared
Right Sion. Lord Thomson, Secretary
of State for Air, in the house of Lords
recently during a broad and inspiring
review of the Empire's.accomplish-
ments in the world of flying.
Lord Thomson predicted an era of
great aerial expansion within the Em-
pire in the next year or so. He stated
that there were :now about 22,350'
miles of regular air routes, He hoped
the end of 1931 would see an extension
of the Indian route toward Australia,
but the date forthe completion of this
plan, he said, rested largely with the
Government of Australia,
The Cape-to•Cairo route should be
completed' as far rte the great lakes of
Central Africa by the end of this year,
and in full operation by the spring of.
1981. -
Canada Co-operates
Lord Thomson praised the opening
up of what was cailed the Atlantic air-
ways in the Western Atlantic- Such a
development, 'although. started, could
only be carried through- with the co-
operation of the Canadian Government
and the most sympathetic response
was regarding R-100,
Lord Thomson stated' that the final
stages of experimentation would be
made at the end of this month in the
case of one airship (the`R-100), and in
September in regard to the other (the
R-101): The Dying of these airships
was one of the most scientific experi-
ments man had ever attempted, and
Ire was determined, said the Secretary,
that there would be no risk, while he
was in control, of the R-100 night to
Canada being rushed through, or of
lives being sacrificed through lack of
foresight. (here the House cheered).
He much regretted the inevitable
disappointment caused to 'Canada by
the delay, but it could not be helped.
Referringto Zeppelins, he expressed
the opinion that the Graf Zeppelin was
not comparable, as a structure, with
the .R-101, or even the R-100, which he
styled the strongest two airships in
the world. One of Dr. Eckener's prin-
cipal experts, after seeing the"R-101,
said to him: "This is the safest con-
veyance on land, sea or ail."
Sparrows Watch
Clock Every Day
It would be nice if we could all
form a better concept of time. Spar-
rows, it appears, .are very clever
about this. Perhaps you thought
that sparrows knew what time it was
by the position of the sun? Not at
all. And this is the proof of it. A
woman doctor had been in the habit
of feeding the sparrows with crumbs
as she passed through the Luxem-
bourg Gardens every day at half past
twelve, They were always waiting
for her just at that hour. Then came
the change to summer time, with the
result that, from that day onward -the
woman passed through the gardens at
what, according to the old regime,
would have been half --past eleven..
The sparrows were on hand, • just the
same, although the sun or, rather, the
earth, had still another hour to go to
gain its 1'.30 position. The Academy
of Science has been asked to explain
this phenomenon. (Will it accuse
the sparrows of watching the clock?)

It takes about a year far the Bishop
of the Upper Nile, the Rt. Rev. Arthur
L. Kitching, to "visit" his diocese,
which covers an area of 264,000 square
miles and has a population of 4,500,-
000.
George: "Dad, what's the difference
between cannibals and other folks?"
Father: "Cannibals, my son, eat their
enemies; other people generally go.
no further than to live on their
friends and relatives!"
