PAPER REPLACES
ENGLISH COINS
HIGH PRICE OF SILVER IS
THE CAUSE.
Sovereign, Crown and Other
Historic Pieces Are Rapidly
Disappearing.
Somewhere in the history of most
nations, if they are old enough, is an
age of paper money, • England . is just
cooling into hers, and with the advent
of this age old familiar coins are pass-
ing, perhaps never to return in our
time, says a London writer. One of
them to go is the sovereign. Bankers
say that we will not see it conte hack.
They assert that before young English-
men round out their three score years
and ten they will know only paper
looney.
Who will not admit that the sover-
eign was a noble coin? Most of us
have been guilty of hoarding one or
two of them. Few of us who have not
wished for many of them. One British
writer asserts that it will not be long
before collectors will be after the
sovereign purse; that books will be
written about it and mid-Victorian
specimens will fetch good prices in
the auction rooms.
Blame the high prices of sliver --and
the price of this metal continues to
mount. Economists and bankers say
that we must be,satisfied with paper
money, and some of them even insist
that paper money is best, is mere con-
venient than either gold or silver, but
wile can find in the rustle of notes,.
even though they are new, anything
like the thrill that conies from the
jingle of sovereigns.
Passing of Silver Coins.
The passing of the crown or "cart
wheel," the half-crown piece, a typic-
ally British coin—a gentleman among
pieces of money because you can give
a half-crown tip when you would not
dare give a two shilling piece and a
sixpence—and even the commercial
florin is certain, and then, perhaps,
England will have five shilling notes
instead of crowns, and also half crown
notes, and nickel coins, which will
eventually oust the coppers. Then,
apparently, they will have left only the
navies of the old English coins, mean-
while having altered values. Children
will learn that ten pennies make a
.shilling and ten shillings a something
new, which will be a piece of paper.
Already Englishmen carry note
cases. Later they will carry purses.
Meanwhile many of them., however,
will hoard up a few half crowns and
good honest crowns, sturdy specimens
of the work of the mint and suggestive
of John 13u11 ---heavy, solid and sound
—just as curios. as something to show
to their children and their children's
children and ]bake ahem marvel at the
bigness of the money the English used
long, long ago.
Do Comets Send Disease?
A scientist has stated that comets
actually sprinkle our world with dis-
ease germs!
The old belief that pestilence fol-
lows in the wake of meteors may,
therefore, have a great deal of truth in
it.
A short time ago a meteor fell into
Lake Michigan, U.S. A.., and since then
the attention of scientists has been
focused upon the fact that our earth is
at present undergoing the greatest
known visitation of comets.
The pestilence known as the Black
Death, which visited Europe and Asia
in the fifteenth century, and caused
the most appalling mortality, followed
the visit of a great comet.
The mysterious influenza from which
the world has suffered so much lately
began scan after we were immersed
in the tail of Halley's comet.
It has been proved that while seine
Comets are only masses of gas, most
of them are made up of enormous
swarms of meteors of all sizes.
Scientists, including Lord Kelvin
and Sir Oliver Lodge, hold that the
majority of comets are fragments of
worlds torn to pieces by some cause
or other. In. those cornets which origin
ated in thet, destruction of worlds, the
disease germs or organisms Would
have been carried away with the de-
bris and remained In a dormant state
in the cold of space.
There is no limit to the time certain
germs can remain asleep. They are
irnownt,^v vamam aorrnaiit for Count)
:less ages in the sell-baltcd deserts of
the world and on the frozen soil of the
roles.
When, therefore, these germs are
projected into our temperate atmos-
phere by cornets, it is thought by
t to •i i
that .they tl 1 r t 8
� 6 y awaken froni
their long sleep and are again render-
ed aotive and dangerous to the eal'th'e
inhabitants.
i a413 can write it down as g cepe.i,
With the hags of peace unfurled,
The boys that run the furrow
Are the boys Chet Nile the world.

Everyone must occasionally give to
the bowels some regular help or else
suffer from constipation, bilious at-
tacks, stomach disorders and sick
headache. But do not whip the bowels
into activity with harsh cathartics.
What the liver and bowels need is a
gentle and natural tonic, one that can
constantly be used without harm. The
gentlest liver and bowel tonic is "Cas -
carets." They put the liver to work
and cleanse the colon and bowels of all
waste, toxins and poisons without
griping—they never sicken or incon-
venience you like Calomel, Salts, Oil,
or Purgatives.
Twenty-five million boxes of C.asear-
ets are sold each year. They work
while you sleep. Cascarets cost so
little too.

The Song My Mother Sings.
O"sweet unto My heart is the song uxy
mother sings
As eventide is brooding on its dark
and noiseless wings.
Every note is charged with memory,
every memory bright with rays
Qf the golden beers of promise in the
lap of childhood's days.
The orchard blooms anew, and each
blossom scents the way,
And I feel again the breatI'. of eve
• among the new -mown .hay,
While through the halls of memory in
happy notes there rings
All the life -joy of the past in the song
my mother sings.
It's a song of love and •triumph, it's
a song of toil and care, •
It is Oiled with chords of pathos, and
it's set in notes of prayer,
It is bright with dreams and visions of
the days that are to be,
And as strong in faith's devotion as
the heart-beat of the sea;
It is linked in mystic measure to sweet
voices from above,
And is starred with ripest blessing
thro' a mother's sacred love,
0 sweet and strong and tender are the
memories that it brings
As I list in joy and rapture to the song
my mother sings.
SPRING WEATHER
RD ON BABY
The Canadian Spring weather ---one
day mild and bright; the next raw
and blustery, is extremely hard on the
baby. Conditions are such that the
mother cannot take the little one out
for the fresh air so much to be de-
sired. He is confined to the douse
which is often over -heated and badly
ventilated. He catches cold; his lit-
tle stomach and bowels become dis-
ordered and.the mother soon has a
sick baby to look after. To prc--ent
this an occasional dcse of Baby's Own
Tablets should be given. They regu-
late the stomach and bowels, thus pre-
venting or relieving colds, simple
fevers, colic.or any other of the many
minor ills of childhood. The Tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,G

Annual Climbing Vines
While waiting for clematis, wisteria
and other permanent vines to make
sufficient growth, annual vines may be
grown each year at porch or. window.
They make a very desirable screen or
shade when trained on a trellis of pro-
per construction, and most of them
blown profusely from midsummer till
killed by frost. se more pleasing, ef-
fect will usually result where several
kinds are planted together.
For luxuriant growth and dense
shade, there is nothing equal to the
wild cucumber, but the lower leaves
are likely to turn yellow late in the
summer, unless• the vines are kept
well watered.
The moonfiower and }Horning glory,
in various colors, are favorites; a
trellis covered with them presents a
solid mass of blooms against the dark
green foliage as long as growth con-
tinues.
Cypress vine possesses a delicate
beauty that makes it very desirable to
grow before a window. Balloon vine
is of slower growth, but when planted
in connection with morning glory or
wild cucumber, the contrast creates a
pleasing effect.
It is a common mistake to plant
vines too near a porch or house wall.
A suitable bed should be spaded up
at least two feet from the foundation
of the house, and the soil should be
made rich with leaf mold or manure of
a similar nature. If wild cucumbers
are allowed to grow two feet apart,
the vines will make sufficient growth
to cover a trellis ten or twelve feet
high. Morning-glory and moonfiower
should stand no more than a foot
apart, and the other vines about the
same.
A suitable trellis is made by setting
two substantial posts of the right
length in the ground. and stretching
poultry netting of the right length
from oiie to the other. The trellis
should be provided before the vines
form tendrils. When vines are trained
upon a trellis of this kind, they do not
cling to the wall and discolor the
woodwork. The shade is more effec-
tive, while the air circulates freely be-
tween vines and wall, When the vines
have reached the top of the trellis,
they may be trained to form a canopy
on strings leading to the wall over the
window or porch.
1f early cultivation is given, and
water supplied in abundance, there is
no growth ,about the place that will
prove more. attractive throughout the
season than a trellis covered with an-
nual climbing vines.
Another use for vines, besides shad-
ing porches and windows, is screening
unsightly buildings -outdoor toilets,
for instance. Also, fences can be
made more pleasant when covered
with vines. Rubbish piles can be hid-
den by a screen of vines. A small
packet of seeds will screen the view
of an. unpleasant landscape,

his skating clays seemed past. Re-
turning to Canada, however, he ap-
plied himself patiently to his old art,
and eventually learned to skate once
more. Now he has become so skillful

roasting -pan wilt hold 210 less than 300 -
cutlets, which represent several sheep,
while potatoes are baked at the rate
of four bushels in each pan.
Nearly 8,000 eggs are broken on
omelette days by the sixty cooks and
the hundred assistants who officiate
in this gigantic cuisine. No fewer than
twelve' hams and sixty fowls can be
boiled simttltaneonsly in one pot.
At the Mansion House, London, and
