The Wingham Times, 1907-06-06, Page 3BURNS COAL OR WOOD The Sunshine is a good, "all round" furnace. Burns, with equal facility, either coal or wood. Coke, too, if you prefer it. And so perfect is the combustion of the Sunshine that it extracts every unit of heat from the fuel. What's left in the ash -pan is not worth sifting. Sunshine consumes less fuel, too. Because its perfect system of dampers prevent the escape "of the hot air sup the chimney -compels it to come out through the registers. You pay for heating the inside - not the outside -of your house when you buy the Sunshine. If your local dealer does not handle this most economical furnace write direct to us for FREE BOOKLET.

(Oontinned from page 2 ) may I say -worth their salt!" Iagree with you, but it is not because they nos- -seas a Senior Leaving certificate that they are no good as tetohers. It lies in the fact that teachers are "born, not made," even though they were to have .a dozen degrees after their names they would never make successful teachers. If yon, as a primary teacher, feel that yon can teach the number combinations to your satisfaction I say that you ognld teaoh those same things infinitely better en account of the very discipline in mind training eeonred through the study of 'Trigonometry and the Higher Algebra. If you feel that you can bring out the beauty of that little gem of English let me say that a fuller meaning comes into vision through the study of the odes of Horace and the orations of Cicero. What a grace in thought is lent by the reading of sweet sentimentilaties render- ed in the French .or German, and how often,a knowledge of Latin will delve the bottom' and bring out the forceful - nous of English Literature where noth- ing else can, How the study of Nature, too helps in almost every subject. The Education Department last' year made arrange- ments for Simmer &Imola to be held at the Normal ,College, Hamilton and at the NormalSchools, Toronto, Ottawa and London. The main purpose of the Scheele was to give idstruotion in Manu- al Training, Household Soienoe, Nature Study and Art. No fees were required and the, cost of the books was alight. There pre also holiday courses in the McDonald Institute, Guelph, Where teachers ale truly taught by the Nature Method -by means of field garden., tramping expeditions and in fact explor- ing and examining almost every living thing in eight. Snell a coarse as this certainly opens the eyes, of the teacher whose observation poweas had hitherto lain dormant. He must need stop by the lane, in the park or at the hedge to examine into the folding of the tiny bud, the peculiar markings of a wayside flow- er -or thelbriliiancy of a winged creature.

How much more forcefully one • can teach that imaginative story of "Jaok in the Pulpit" or "The Humble Bee," aft- er such an awakening. To those who are fortunate enough to be able to travel to see other parte of the vast Dom -inion or arose the waters there Domes a refreshing not derived from any othersouroe. Sightseeing and novelty Is always a stimulus to competition and im- provement and is much sought after. But next best to actually seeing is see- ing with our mental eye through read- ing- and we can at times believe ourselv- es transported even to those far -away regions. But let ns not forget the need for good companions in either literal travel or mental travel and seek oat on- " ly those influences that will be uplifting. There is nothing else in whioh a teach- er can be of greater use in a community, eapeoially in a country section, than in music, He should if at all magically inclined become familiar with nensioal knowledge. A teacher raises hie status by being proficient in music and he also owes it to himself to so train the speak- ing voice that it will seonre .prompt obe- dience and instant attention without any unnecessary display of authority. The Oommeroial Colleges have been a great boon to our profession and we find many teachers doubling their salaries and steadily climbing up the ladder et mimesis through taking a special training in the Commercial subjects on our cur- rioulm thus obtaining Specialist certifi- cates in a comparatively short period and placing themselves on an infinitely higher lever than before taking such a comae. We shell merely touch on tho impor- tance of attending our Teachers' Institu- tes as a means of improving our statue. This Institute binds us together, remind- ing •urs that we are working for,one an- other -for our profession' and for our own self-irrprovement.

TIIE WINGIIAM TIMES JUNE f; t907 THE MiORMON QUESTION. Protest Against Entrance of "Undesit able. Element Into Canada, The Vancouver Daily Province se not inclined the view the increase of the Mormons with equanimity. It says on this subject: 'In view of the encouragement : which was given to the Mormon ad- herents by the victory of Reed Smoot. their representative in the United States Senate, and the unqualified support afforded them by Hon. Frank Oliver, the Canadian Minister of the Interior, the intelligence which comes from the East that they are conduct- ing a most active proselytizing cam- paign in the large centres of popula- tion is extremely significent. A ile- spatch from New York is to the effect that in Trenton, N. I. the open-air meetings which the Mormon elders had arranged, with the permission of the police. to hold, were interfered with by the Salvation Army which monopolized all the vantage points in the city and prevented these agents of a polygamous creed from obtaining a hearing. That the Mormons should thus be able, openly and fearlessly, to proclaim their existence as a sep- arate society in the state and their desire to increase their numbers and importance, may dispose us to the opinion that they may yet constitute a question on this continent with which Governments will have to deal. it is idle to tell us, as Hon. Frank Oliver and other politicians do, that the Mormons are industrious and en- terprising. We know that. We also know that many undesirable elements in our society are also industrious and enterprising, but they are not the less undesirable for that reason, - Rather the reverse, Their very industry and enterprise make them a greater dan- ger. And the peril which the Mor- mons represent is regarded by the most intelligent and moral of our peo- ple as increasingly great. That either Mr. Oliver or the American friends and apologists of Mormonism will ever convince the public that that creed does not stand for polygamy it is impossible to believe. Plurality of wives is one of the cardinal prin- ciples of their peculiar faith; it is the principle which gives it favor with those most .11:ely to throw in their lot with the sect, and to eliminate it from their doctrine would be to leave Mormonism without any distinctive feature, without the vital principle. Mormonism without polygamy would die in a generation; with polygamy to grow and flourish, unless the Gov- ernment stamps .t out. When these elders are allowed openly to prosely- tize in the great cities of the east, it means that permission is given them to recruit for their special society which has for its object the destruc- tion of the State. But politics are politics, whether in the United States or Canada; and the Mormons have a olid vote which is of great use. WEST SPENDING T00 FAST. Tight Money Ahead Unless Expendi- ture Is Reduced. Mr. Byron E. Walker, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in an interview on the financial condi- tions in the West gave his views of the situation as follows: "Of course no one can tell until the money results have been got out of the crop that has been kept back to what extent that relief will meet the• western people's requirements, and to what -extent it will get them out of debt. It is perfectly clear in any event, and it did not need this win- ter to tell us, that the West is spend- ing, all the time, a great deal more than the people are receiving from their grain and cattle. If there is not at least a marginal contraction in the, scope of improvement of all kinds, from settlers' houses• to railway build= irig, we cannot but expect that next fall we shall have a recurrence of the -money tightness- of this winter, ex- cept in so far as the trouble this win- ter was caused by the tie-up of the grain. If we don't slow up in our expenditures, we shall inevitably have tight money again: "Of course to 'be •forewarned is to be forearmed. When people are Worrying in the spring time about the condition of money for the next winter, it is a sign that there will be an instinctive adjustment going on in different people's affairs, and it is quite, possible, that there will be `enough contraction here, apd enough capital coming from abroad, to get us out of trouble °' Mr. Walker says there is a very large amount of foreign capital com- ing in that the man in the street does not know anything about. Fool et Treatm n. Collier's Weekly: Our fool treatment of Canada is another illustration of what our legislators can accomplish. The Dominion has now made up her mind to treat us to as harsh laws as can be devised, and her decision is wise and right. For a quarter sof a century she has waited" patiently, while one President after another, and one Secretary of State alter another, devised treaties intended for the mu- tual benefit of Canada and the United States. Every time, the Senate, imag- ining itself to exist for sequestering benefits desired by the well-entreneh- ed, has protected its clients against the administration and the people. Calmly, at length, Canadian leaders have seen that no fair measure of re- ciprocity could ever pass the Senate, and she has decided to do all in her power to stop trade with us, to de- velop it with England and her other colonies: to favor all Europe against the United States,,to develop her own incalculable resources. We wish her well. Whatever harm our ass policy brings to us has been fully and pains- takingly deserved. To Divide U. S. and Canada. The boundary line- between Canada and the United States is marked with posts at mile intervals for a great part of its length. Cairns, earth mounds and timber posts are also used, and through the forests and swamps a line a rod wide, clear of trees and Under- wood, has been cut. Across the lakes artificial island support the cairns, which rise about eight feet above the high water mark, f-IER PiTY. (gam Kiser.)

A Scottish minister arrived at the kirk one day without the manuscript of his sermon. He could not preach without it, but it lay in his manse a mile away ween the time had come for him to mount into the pulpit. Here was a pos- er only to be solved by giving out the 119th Psalm. While the congregation were singing it, off to his manse for the sermon galloped the minister, and with equal celerity galloped back. When:he returned, the congregation were still at it, and he asked with some trepidatipn, how they were getting on. "Oh, sir,'' was the answer, "they've got to the end. ofthe eighty-fourrh verse, an' they're just oheep:n' like wee mice," Dr Bone has a remarkable freak of nature at his stable. We say remark- able because we doubt if such a wonder- ful monstrosity has ever been previous- ly recorded.

Oh, give us back the whiskers of thirty years ago, The good old-fashioned whiskers that used to tinkle so; We do not want the shaven face, we hate the horrid thing, But we want the good ol.i whiskers to which we fain would cling. A nice mustache looks fairly well when very nicely curled„ But, oh, we love those whiskers, so gracefully uncurled; It's really too much trout 13 chasing husbacds with a broom, When by grabbling at their whiskers we could drag them round the room. The Cause of Snoring. This is not for you, because you never snore. No one ever does snore himself. It is always the other fellow. But you can read this and then tell that guilty other fellow how to break himself of his bad habit, for snoring is merely a bad habit and as such can be overcome. It is caused pri- marily by improper breathing -that is, breathing through the mouth Instead of through the nostrils -so, flret of all, care should be taken during waking hours to breathe correctly. The habit once formed of keeping the mouth as firmly closed as possible, be will be less likely to sleep with it open. Then see that your troublesome snorer has a proper pillow. He should sleep with his head as flat as possible, for if his head is pushed forward and the neck bent the tongue drops back against the soft palate and forms an obstruc- tion which makes all the unmusical sounds we hear when the air is forced past it. -St. James' Gazette. The Last Match Saved Them. The ship bad lain becalmed in a trop- ical sea for three days. Not a breath of air stirred the mirrorlike surface of the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved in stone. The captain resolved to wait no longer. He piped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward. "I must ask all of you," he said, "to give me every match that you have." Wonderingly the passengers and crew obeyed. The captain carefully arranged the matches In his hands as each man handed him his store until all had been collected. Then he threw them all overboard but one, drew a cigar from his pocket and, striking the soli- tary match on the mainmast, endeav- ored to light it. Iu ari instant a furi- ous gale swept over the deck, extin- guished the match and filled the sails, and the good ship Mary Ann sped through the waves on her course. The Cod's BiII of Fre. An interesting exhibit In the South Kensington museum, London, illus- trates the omnivorous nature of the cod's diet. Among the fish falling a prey to its voracious maws wo note the young of the herring, dab, whiting and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob- sters also form an important Item in the cod's menu. The strangest part of the cod's diet perhaps is the sea mouse, whose thick covering of bristles might bo thought to render it unwelcome to any stomach. Large whelks and shells of whelks with their Indwelling hermit crabs are also largely devoured. Froin Its partiality to mollusks, in fact, the cod may become an assistant to the shell collector. Woodward in his "Man- ual of the Mollusca" remarks that "some good northern seashells bave been rescued unbroken from the stom- ach of the cod." -London Globe. Growing Flowers In Winter. A. long run of dark days in winter is bad for the florists, It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can al- ways be maintained to the proper point, find with sunshine flowers will bloom just as freely when the they. mometer ahowa an outdoor tempera- ture of zero as at the freezing point, though of course more money must be spent for coal. But when, day after day, for weeks at a time, clouds over-' hang the sky, nothing will grow as it should. The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and waft for sunshine, and if it deed not come in four or five days the blooms decay. So also it is with called and roses, They will open halfway, then. without sunlight, will quickly, spoil. r N••••••••N•••••it••••••N•• ••••••••••••••• COAL COAL COAL.
