"Then there's Hilderbon," he said; "that's a lovely little village, I'm told." Celia woke up suddenly. "Is Hilderton really near here ?" she asked. AT often stayed there when I was a child. My grandfather lived at Hilderton Hall." 'There was an impressive silence. "You see the sort of people you're entertaining," I said, airily, to Peter. "My wife's grandfather lived lived at Hilderton Hall." I pushed my plate away. "T can't go on eating bacon after this. Where are the peaches ?" Peter looked up from one of the maps he always carries in his pocket. pocket. ' "I can't find Hilderton Hall here," he said. We, crowded round. Hilderton was on the map, but no Hilderton Hall.- "But it's a great big place," protested protested Celia. "I see, ' ' I said. "Celia, you were young then." "Ten." "Naturally it seemed big to you, just as Yarrow seemed big to Wordsworth, and a shilling seems a lot to a baby. But really--" "Really," said Peter, "it was sem i-de t-a-c bed. ' ' "And your side was called Hilderton Hilderton Villa." "You're all very funny," said Celia. "I've a good mind to take you there this morning, and show it to you." "Do!" said Peter and I, eagerly. "Of course they may have sold some of the land, but I know when I used to stay there it was a--a great big place." "It's no good now, Celia," I said, sternly. "You shouldn't have boa-sted." Hilderton was four miles off, and we began to approach it--Celia palpably nervous--at about twelve o'clock. , . "Do vpu recognize any of this ?" asked Peter. "X-no. l'ou see I was only eight--" "You must recognize the church," I said. "Now what about this place ? Is this it?" Celia peered up the drive. "N-no. I know there was a big walnut tree in front of the house." "Is that all you remember ?" "Well. I was only about six--" Peter and I both had a slight cough at the same time. We found two more big houses, but Celia, a little- doubtfully, rejected them both. "My grandfather-in-law was very hard to please," I apologized to Peter.. "He passed over place after place before he finally fixed on Hilderton Hilderton Hall." There was a sudden cry from Celia. Celia. "This is it," she said. She stood at the entrance to a long drive. A few chimneys could be seen in the distance. On either side of the gates was a high wall. "I don't see the walnut tree," I said. "You can't see the front of the house. But I feel certain that this is the place." ■ "We want more proof than that, said Peter. "We must go in and find the walnut tree.". "We can't wander into another man's grounds looking for walnut trees," I said, "with no better excuse excuse than that Celia's great-grandmother great-grandmother was once asked down for the week-end and stayed a fortnight." fortnight." ' . "My grandfather," said Celia, ooldlv, "lived here." "Well," I said, "we must invent a proper reason. Peter, you might pretend you've come to inspect the gas meter. Or perhaps Celia had better disguise herself as a suffragette, suffragette, and try to borrow a box of matches." "It--it seems rather cheeky, said Celia. "We'll toss up who goes." Of course I lost. I went up the drive nervously. At the first turn I decided to be an insurance inspector, inspector, at the next a scout master, but as I approached the front door I thought of a very simple excuse. I rang the bell, and looked about eagerly for the walnut tree. There was none. "Does Mr.--er--Erasmus -- er-- Percival live here,?" I asked the footman, when he appeared. "No, sir," he said--luckily. - "Ah! Thank you," and I sped down the drive again. "Well?" said Celia, eagerly. - "Friends, there is no walnut tree," I said, solemnly. "I'm not surprised," said Peter. The walk home was a silent one. I had great fun in London the next week with this story,, although Celia gays she is getting tired of it. But I had a letter from Peter today today that ended like this : "By the way, I was an ass last week. I took you to Banfield instead instead of Hilderton. I went to Hilderton Hilderton yesterday, and found. Hilderton Hilderton Hall--a large place with a walnut tree. It's a little way out of the village, and is marked large on the next section of the map - to the one we were looking at. You might tell . Celia." True, I might. Perhaps in a week or two I shall. if m CEYLON Liquid Cough Mixtures Can't Cure Bronchitis But the Healing Fumes of Catarrh- ozone, Which are Breathed to the Furthest Recesses of the Bronchial Tubes, Bring Quick Relief and Sure Cure.

BLACK, GREEN or MIXED 061 OUR REMNANT RELIGION Largely flade Up of the Scraps of Time, Shreds of Energy and Odds and Ends of Devotion "And the remnant thereof he m-aketh a god, even his graven image."--Isaiah image."--Isaiah xliv., 17. It is a striking portrayal which Isaiah gives us, in the passage from which pur text is taken, of the ancient ancient process of idol-making. He pictures a man going out int-o the forest and cutting down a great cedar cedar and bringing the 'fallen tree to his home. Most of the wood is speedily chopped up and used in the fire, but a small residue is put aside, to be fashioned into an idol and set up and worshipped. The man "burnebh a part in the fire," says the prophet ; "with a part he eateth flesh, he roasteth meat and is satisfied; yea, he war moth himself himself and saith, Aha, I am warm. And the remnant thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image." Human Nature Repeats Itself. It is obvious from this statement of the prophet that the people of primitive times took religion about as seriously and gave to it about as much of their lives as the people of our day. Human nature l and not merely history, repeats itself. The deity of the idol-maker was a remnant remnant god. He was fashioned only after the tree had yielded all the timber that was desirable for cooking cooking food and warming the house-- and probably, in a good proportion of cases, cut of* wood that would not burn very well, anyhow 1 _ And so with us to-day ! Our religion, when we have any at all in this age, is a remnant religion, largely made up of the 'scraps of time, shreds of energy and odds and ends of devotion, devotion, which seem to be unusable in any other direction. We give to religion the hour or two on Sunday morning for which no other engagement engagement seems to call. We contribute to its work the few dollars which may be left when we have satisfied every desire for food, dress, travel and entertainment. We practise its precepts only when such practise docs not seriously interfere with the excitements of pleasure and the conditions of business. We serve its emancipating causes only so long as such service does not threaten our physical comfort or shake our reputation for sanity, respectability respectability and good taste. Our Religious Life, in other words, is not the whole of our lives, but a remnant of the wh-oie. As the idol-maker fashioned fashioned his image out of that piece- of wood which was left after he had built as big a fire as was necessary to warm his limbs and roast his roasts, -so we give unto God only that part of our lives which is left after we have given as much of ourselves ourselves to the world as is necessary in order to win and hold the prizes of the world: It would be as strange to most of us to give. ourselves wholly to God and sacrifice everything everything in His behalf as it w T ould have been strange to the idol-maker to use the whole tree for his god. And yet it is just this, and not one whit less, which construes religion in the true sense of the word ! The religious religious life can rightly be no remnant remnant thing. It is all or nothing ! Moses and Jesus are in specific agreement when they say : The first of all thé commandments is this :--Thou shalfc love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and all thy soul, and all thy mind, and all thy strength !'--Rev. John Haynes Holmes. to record the proceedings of Parliament Parliament from the Press Gallery. He was heartily welcomed by, met upon an equal footing, : and even mildly criticized at times, by the same men for whom, not ten years before, he meekly ran errands.... It was a long stride upwards, but Taylor Taylor had no thought of making the Press Gallery his terminus, and now recalled his page boy dreams of some day becoming a member of Parliament himself.

He went through the fierce campaign campaign of 1891, and his vivid reports of some of the spectacular meetings of that stirring 'political struggle were models of graphic and faithful reporting. His. work attracted such favorable attention, indeed, .that he received and accepted a flattering offer of a position on the editorial staff of the Victoria Colonist. That was in 1892. By 1800, J. D.

Along with the tea and coffee habit has grown the prevalent disease--nervous disease--nervous prostration. The following letter shows the way out of the trouble : "Five years ago I was a great coffee drinker, and from its use I became so nervous I could scarcely sleep at all nights. My condition grew worse and worse until finally the physician I consulted declared myr troubles were due to coffee. (Tea is just as injurious because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "But being so wedded to the beverage beverage I did not see how I could do without it, especially at breakfast, as that meal seemed incomplete without coffee. "On. a visit, my . friends deprived me of coffee to prove that it was harmful. At the end of about eight days I was less nervous but the craving for coffee was intense, so I went back to the old habit as soon as I got home and the old sleepless nights came near making a wreck of me. "I heard of Post-um and decided to try it. I did not like it at first, because, as I afterwards discovered, discovered, it was not made properly. I found, however, ^ that when made after directions on the package, it was delicious. "It had a soothing effect on my nerves and none of the bad effects that coffee had, so I bade farewell to coffee and have used only Pos- tum since.

Member for New Westminster, B.C. A few times every generation things work out almost according to the novelist in his wildest flights of fancy. Now and then the poor boy walks into the bank and asks for a job, picking up a pin the while, and thereby attracting the attention of grizzly steel-hearted boss, gets the job, and soon becomes president of the bank. It's bound to happen very often, of course, that- the youngster is refused the job, and is rated soundly for stealing the pin. but not always. Occasionally the brakeman gets to be boss of the road, and once in a blue moon the legislative page becomes the . powerful powerful statesman in the body where he once ran errands. Nearly 40 years ago--37 to be exact exact -- a blue-eyed blonde-haired youngster of 13 summers who bore the name of James David Taylor, applied for the position of page in the Canadian House of Commons. He got the job all right, and for the next five months of the session of '76 lightly answered the beck and call of Mackenzie (who was the Prime Minister), Macdonald, Blain, Thompson, Tupper, and incidentally incidentally Wilfrid Laurier, whose antagonist antagonist in the same Commons in the years to come fate and decreed him to be. That was a stirring session, as our political historians have not neglected to note, and the youthful page imbibed in large draughts a love for political conflict, z and dreamed of the days when perchance perchance he, too, would strike a heroic pose and declaim for the "plain people." Being a page, however exciting it may appear to the juvenile, is. not very lucrative financially, and "Jimmie" Taylor, like the majority of other mortals, needed all the loose change he could accumulate. A printing press had that strange attraction for him which some noted men of letters seem to think it had for them, and the following- year he forsook the paging game to become à printer's apprentice in the y office of the Ottawa Ottawa Citizen, graduating as a full- fledged Typographical Union man five years later. But somehow or other politics and journalism seemed seemed to call him with an irresistible force,, and after four years at the printing business he went down-to Montreal as a reporter tin one of the big dailies. He had a habit of getting at the heart of things that caught, the eye of the chief editor, and they soon sent him to Ottawa READ THE LABEL COR THE PROTECTION OF THE CON- r SUMER THE INGREDIENTS ARE PLAINLY PRINTED ON THE- LABEL.
