An Irish priest was ,preaching to Ms flock one Sunday on the ,evils of intemperance. «Whiskey, my breth- :TeU," he said, "is a curse, a terrible scum.

At an altitude of 600 feet above the level of ,Lake Ontario the pine and balsam scented air of the Kawartha aregion' is healthful and invigorating. The cool, fresh water of the lakes -which mirror the foliage overhang- ing, and hide the sportive lunge and ;pike offers the vacationist unexcelled boating, bathing and fishing.

HIGH-PRICED CORN MEANS HIGH LIVE STOCK • St is possible that American wheat growers will get from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 more for their wheat this year than last, assuming that they sell something over 5'60,000,000 bushels, says the United States De- artment of Agriculture in its monthly agricultural review issued -on August lst. This is considerably less than the $1,000,000,000 increase eestinrated in some quarters, but be- speaks an increased ability to< pay gaff debts and a general improvement i>i financial conditions in the wheat country. On the other hand, the corn situa- tion is by no means good, the de- partment points out. Stands are ex- tremely spotted, many fields are full 'of weeds, and much of the crop is se far behind that it will need some- thing approaching a frostless Fall to mature. Corn is a feed crop and 'high prices add,. mainly to the cost of live stock production. The main significance of the corn sitriation lies in its effect on live stock production and .prices during the corning year, the department says.

ANGLER Those Anglers who love to prop their, rod against a convenient stump and doze while their line dips un- molested in' the placid water, will find no amusement in a vacation at Lake Nipigon or surrounding region. The waters of Lake Nipigon, Nipigon River and Orient Bay abound with large finny beauties, which warm the hearts of fishermen who find no sat- isfaction in landing a prize without a battle. For the •canoeist, too, Nipigon promises plenty of adventure. Lakes to cruise, with constantly changing scenery. Rock strewn rivers where the craft buoyantly rides the swift currents. There are rapids to shoot, taxing the dexterity of the most ex- pert to guide the canoe through tile maddened, boiling waters without a spill. Nipigon Lodge is a luxurious Lodge of rustic design on the shore of Ori- ent.Bay. Deep set amidst pine and cedar trees, its offers most comfort- able quarters for a quiet pipe or game of cards before retiring. Here it is that real sportsmen ga- ther and discuss their chances of win- ning the coveted Nipigon Trophy which the Canadian National Rail- ways award annually to the angler who catches the largest true speckled trout in the Nipigon District. An illustrated folder and complete information is obtainable from any Canadian National Agent.

SEEING THROUGH SKIN A French scientist, M. Farigoule, claims that sight is possible by means of, certain elementary organs which exist in the human skin. He recently published the results of his experi- ments. ~` - One of the cases described relates to a subject who at a second trial, with eyelids tightly fastened down and eyes covered with a thick band- age Securely fixed, was able to dis- tinguish such colors as white from pale grey, orange from ochre, and at the end of a further sitting to read two couplets. As the characters to bedeciphered were placed in a photographic frame under glass, it was impossible for them to be identifle>d by touch, and moreover, the gla.ssr frame itself was handed to the subject in such a way that nobody present could see through it. In this particular case, the success was obtained with the forehead, right cheek bone, and fingers. Certain areas of the skin are more receptive to this "second sight" than others. CANADIAN PACIFIC—THE HAR- VESTERS' SHORTEST ROUTE TO THE WEST Due to the fact that the Canadian Pacific is the shortest route to the West, the greater majority of har- vesters last year travelled via Can- adian Pacific. The company will maintain the usual high standard of colonist car equipment this year with cars for the exclusive Ase of ladies, children and their escorts, While lunch counter cars in which hot meals, re- freshments, etc., may be obtained at most reasonable rates will also be at- tached to all trains. . Because the Canadian Pacific is the shortest route to Western Canada and due to the efforts of the Company to have the harvesters spread over as much territory as possible in a mini- mum space of time, it is expected from the numerous inquiries received that a number of extra trainss.will be necessary' this year to transport the harvesters to the West. Canadian Pacific agents througl}out Ontario have been fully instructdtli in the vari- ous matters pertaining to harvesters and will gladly furnish full_informa- tion regarding the departure of trains. On August 22nd at 12.01 a.m. (mid- night, August 21st) the first special train will leave Toronto, followed by one at 10.00 a.m. and others as re- quired.

Mothers should not ignore their un- settled moods. Or the various troubles that tell of approaching womanhood. It is an important time of life. Where pallor, headache, backache or other signs of anaemia are evident you must provide the sufferer with the surest means of making new blood. Remember, pale bloodless girls need plenty of nourishment, plenty of sleep, and regular open-air exercise. But to save the bloodless sufferer she must have new blood — and nothing meets the case so well as Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. These pills in- crease the supply of new, red blood; they stimulate the appetite and re- lieve the weary back and limbs; thus they restore health and charm, and bring to anaemic girls the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of strong, happy girlhood.

After some days of perilous wandering Nowell reached the coast and was smuggled •over to Holland. On Mary's death Nowell returned to his beloved trout. stream (he spent a tenth part of his time in angling, says Izaak Walton), and chanced upon the bottle abandoned six years previous- ly. He cautiously sipped the beer, and to his surprise found it more pal- atable than any he had tasted before. "That same night," we are told, "Dr. Nowell summoned his whole house- hold in solemn conclave. Every emp- ty pitcher, jar and bottle that could be found was filled with ale, corked, and then consigned to the cellar." The doctor had discovbred bottled beer.

Brownies stand out in the illustra- tions,., ,and in all he. created thirty. distinct:, characters,. The' first was the German, and this was followed 'by Uncle Sam, the Chinaman, the Indian, et eh Children particularly were delighted with the little folk and with the ingenuity Palmer Cux displayed in having them get into all sorts of quaint adventures. He early made it a law from which he never deviated that his Brownies would not ' be twice in the same position. They would never do the same thing twice, and sometimes he landed them in predicaments 'from which it was with the greatest dif- ficulty that he rescued them. For instance, he got them wrecked on .an island and as he had made them previously build a raft and also a ship, it was no mean feat to get them off safely. Finally the bright idea struck him of having them res- cued by clinging to the sea fowl that visited the place, and his little admirers �Ball over the world slept easily the' next day. The Brownies also got on the stage, and invaded the fashions of the period. Palmer Cox ni,ade a large fortune out of the idea, and, returning to Granby, built there Brownie Castle, in which he spent the happy evening of his days. PALMER COX AND HIS WORLD FAMOUS BROWNIES Palmer Cox was another of thqse Canadians who, unable to find suit- able employment or recognition for his peculiar gifts in his native coun- try went to the United States, be- came famous and amassed a fortune. He was the creator, artistically, of the Brownies, and his ggeat day was just `prior to the day of comic strips. Otherwise his fame would probably have been greater than it is, for few of the comic supplements of the day boast artists with half the gifts of Palmer Cox. He had a whimsical humor lacking in all of the tribe save Fontaine Fox and Claire Briggs, and he was probably a much better draughtsman than any of the fam- ous funmakers of the day. In those days it required more brains to be- come a famot.. comic artist than it does now. The artists appeared to have greater respect foto.-their read- ers even though they were known to be children. They worked harder, but we dare not predict as some com- pensation for them, that their pro- ductions will be longer remembered, although Palmer Cox's Brownies have existed for forty years, and no doubt have still their admirers. Palmer Cox was born in Granby, Quebec, in 1840, and showed an early taste if not a gift for drawing. His earliest school books were scrawled over with various figures supposed to be comic, and some of his work done when he was a schoolboy and still preserved showed that even then the idea of the Brownie had taken hold of him. He first heard of these little creatures from the Scotch settlers about Granby, who had brought with them amdng their folk lore the stories of the generally benevolent but sometimes impish little fairies whom their ancestors used to believe in. The Brownies are supposed to be always invisible,! though their king had the faculty of becoming apparents to a suitable beholder. They are imagined as diminutive goblins, with bulging eyes, large mouths and spindly legs. One of their characteristics is to steal into a house at night and com- plete any unfinished tasks. All they ask is that a bowl of milk be left for them. In the Spearmint adver- tisements one gets an idea of a Brownie as Palmer Cox imagined it. At the age of seventeen Palmer Cox left Granby for the United States. He remained three years in the East, but did not materially bet- ter himself, so he went farther West and worked for several years with a railroad company. His knack with pen and .pencil had not left him, and he earned an occasional dollar by contributing sketches and verses to the San Francisco news- papers. This encouraged him to abandon railroading to (whatever fate J. J. Hill, also a former Cana- dian, and his peers held in store for it, and concentrate upon newspaper work. He became a cartoonist and also wrobe for the San Fran- c sco Examiner. In 1875 some his work was thought worth publishing in book form with the uniilviting title, "Squibs in Cali- forni" He continued to write stories and verses illustrated by him- self, and produced another book, "Conic Yarns in Verse and Prose," which was sold by subscription, in- dicating no public demand but in- dicating that Palmer Cox had gain- ed considerable prestige. Some of his poems Ufa were most successful at the time were entitled, "That Stanley," "How Colutnbus Found America" and "Hans Von Peltels''s Trip to Gotham." We infer from the titles that it was pretty dreary stuff, but it at- tracted some attention, and when he made a trip to New York he was urged to remain and open a studio. He resisted the temptation and went back West for another year's sea- soning: At the end of that time he. returned to New York and began a siege of the newspaper and magazine offices. His stuff sold fairly well The points to observe in fanning seed grain are: first, proper air blast; second, right size and combination of sieves; third, right speed; and fourth, running the grain evenly and thinly over the screens. The wind supply or air blast in all machines is provided to remove as much of the lighter seed and chaff as possible. If the air blast is not sufficiently strong, the chaff and pieces of straw will find their way back into the sample, while if the blast is too strong, some of the good grain may be blown out. The air blast also serves the purpose of keep- ing the sieves clean of the lighter material thus allowing them to do more efficient work. A trial of the air blast should be made with each new lot of seed to be cleaned in order to see that the correct amount of air is bei It cha th 0 RISK IN EXPERIMENTS WITH FOOT AND MOUTH Foot-and-mouth disease, to which the attention of Canadian +attle breeders was specially directed by the outbreak of the disease in Cali- fornia this Spring, is a very old dis- ease, and though ft has been made the subject of prolonged study, no really satisfactory means of control has as yet been discovered, and •wherever an outbreak oecurs it be- eoi es necessary to sacrifice the af- fected cattle and quay ttine infect- ed areas in the hope of preventing further spread of the disuse. supplied. so may be found necessary to e or readjust the sieves to get st results. A good assortment sieves is imperative and a test ould be made with different types efore undertaking to clean seed in order to ascertain those capable of doing the best work. The top sieves. should be large enough to allow the seed to pass through, the remainder of the sample, such as chaff and pieces of straw, running over the top and out at the end of the mill. Some- times it is expedient to deliver the good grain at the back of the mill in- stead df at the usual feed point in order to get rid of a certain impurity that cannot otherwise be removed. The lower sieve or sieves should be large enough to allow the weed seeds or broken kernels to escape but fine en- ough to carry the good kernels over the top. If wild buckwheat is pres- ent, a sieve with triang'tilar 8-64 inch holes or slightly bigger will be found a handy one to have. The following sieves will be found useful for ,the cleaning of seed grain: WHEAT and BARLEY.—The upper sieve should he a zinc or tin perforat- ed sheet with twelve, thirteen or four- teen sixty-fourth inch holes. The lower sieve should be either a per- forated zinc sheet with eight or nine sixty-fourth inch holes or should be square woven wire mesh eight by eight or nine by nine squares to the inch, hr long woven wire mesh two by nine, two by ten, or two by eleven squares to the inch.
