The collecting of walking-sticks was his late Majesty's favorite hobby. hobby. his most treasured stick being one which was regularly carried by Queen Victoria. This remarkable stick was fashioned from a branch of the Bosco bel oak which once concealed concealed Charles II. when escaping from Cromwell's soldiers. Queen Victoria had it altered somewhat, and a- little idol from Seringapatam was inserted as a knob. King Edward's collection of walking-sticks, walking-sticks, of course, included all sorts of designs. It was a fact, however, however, that he preferred as a rule an ordinary crook shape. Indeed, his fondness for this particular design gave not a little impetus to its popularity. popularity. Talking of famous walking-sticks and their owners, Messrs. Henry Howell &z Co., who are probably the " largest stick makers in the world, recall a curious-story of the ominous trick which Charl-e's I.'s walking- stick played on that unhappy monarch, monarch, for during the famous trial at Westminster Hall the head of the stick fell off. Bygone monarchs were very fond of walking-sticks, and Queen Elizabeth Elizabeth put hers to an unpleasant use, for the merry Queen Bess employed them for beating her maids of honor. honor. In the club-room of the Royal College of Physicians there is preserved preserved the gold-headed cane once the symbol of the doctor's profession, profession, which was used by the celebrated celebrated Dr. -John Radcliffe, who attended attended Queen Mary, and afterward by four other eminent physicians. At Kensington Museum, too, may be seen Goldsmith's malaoca cane, which has some charming gold mounts. One of the most remarkable remarkable sticks in existence is owned by a seaman on his Majesty's ship Glory, and was made out of love letters placed on a steel spike. COULD NOT STAND ON FEET Mrs. Baker So Weak--Could Not Do Her Work--Found Relief In Novel Way. Adrian, Mich. -- "I suffered terribly with female weakness and backache and got so weak that I j could hardly do my work. When I washed my dishes I had to sit down and when I would sweep the floor I would get ao weak that I would have to get a drink every few minutes, and before I did my .dusting I would have to lie down. I got What Black-Spot Did. Mrs, CRickety-Cluck was a great rambler ; with her big family of en little Clucke ty-Clucks, she loved to wander through the fields a no peck: at garden stuff. For that reason, the gardener caught Mrs. Clucke y Cluck and firmly tied four yards o heavy tape to one leg, and a. io iron crowbar to the other end o the tape. The bar was too heavy for Mrs. Cluckety-Cluck to move, so for many days she had to stay in -the corner of the yard ; and since she could wander only as far as the tether would allow her, the ten 1 tie Clucke ty-Clucks stayed with her. Mrs.. Cluckety-Cluck was as black as a crow, but all the little Cluck- e-t-v-Clucks were white, except one. That- one had three or four little black spots on her back. So tne gardener called her Black Spo . One day when Mrs. Cluckety- Cluck and her family were pecking about in the yard, Black-Spot spied a big open barn door not far away. "That looks interesting, and I'm getting tired of this little corner, thought Black-Spot. So she walked walked to the doorway. "Be careful, dear, don't go far, clucked Mrs. Clucke,ty^Clucik. But Black-Spot wandered on. "Be careful, dear. You must stay under -mother's eye, for there are strange things in the big out- side world tilia-t little Clucke ^ Clucks don't understand." Mrs. Clucke ty-Clucks vainly tugged at her tether. But Black-Spot- seemed not to hear. , . v On the barn floor she found deli cious grains of wheat, and then she saw some oats scattered round a queer-looking little object. She drew nearer. Snap ! went something, something, and -she felt a quick, sharp pain in her foot. She struggled and tried to get away, but her foot was caught fast! She was nearly wild with the pain and the fright ! And all -the time she could hear, out in that dear, delightful corner of the yard, her sister Cluckety-Olucks, and their mother, clucking and peeping away so contentedly- Oh, if she w T ere only with them ! And at that she cried "We et ! weet!" at the top of her voice. ' 'Well, well ! If there isn t Black-Spot caught by the foot in that rat trap!" exclaimed the gardener, gardener, as he came through the doorway _. to see what all the uss was about. He hurried to set Black-Spot free.. She could not stand on her poor foot-, which was bruised and cut. So the gardener bandaged her leg as carefully as he could, carried her into a shady cor mu ol the x ard and placed her on some soft green so poorly that my folks thought I was going into consumption. One day I found a piece of paper blowing around the yard and I picked it up and read it. It said 'Saved from the Grave,' and told what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Vegetable Compound has done for women. I showed it to my husband and he said, « Why don't you try it ? ' So I did, and after I had taken two bottles I felt better and I said to my husband, T don't need any more,' and he said 'You had better take it a little longer anyway. ' So I took it for three months and got well and strong."--Mrs. Alonzo E. Baker, 9 Tecumseh St., Adrian, Mich. Nôt Well Enough to Work. In these words is hidden the tragedy of many avoman, housekeeper or wage earner who supports herself and is often helping to support a family, on meagre wages. Whether in house, office, factory, factory, shop, store or kitchen, woman should remember that there is one tried and true remedy for the ills to which all Women are prone, and that is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable. Compound. It promotes that vigor which makes work easy. The Lydia E. Pinkh&m Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. Mother Cluckety-Cluck came over and clucked and clucked in the saddest way, and the little Cluckctv-Chicks came over and peeped in the saddest way. When anyone came into the yard, Mother Cluckety-Cluck ruffled up her feathers and jumped about in front of lame Black-Spot, "Keep away ! Hands off! I'm keeping guard here !" she seemed to say. One day when Mother Cluckety- Cluck'was lying in the gr-ass near her little lame daughter, Black- Spot began to peck at the tether. She pecked and pecked and pecked, pecked, and then nibbled a few bits of grass, and pecked again in exactly the same place. When the gardener gardener came into the yard, Black-Spot stopped pecking; but he had only come to fill Black-Spot's little dish with drinking-water. S-he sipped at the water awhile, but when the gardener gardener had done- she began to peck away at the tether. Snip ! went- a thread, and Mrs. Cluckety-Clu-ck was free. So Black- Spot began to "Peep, peep, peep !" in such -an excited way that Mother Cluckeity-Chick thought that something something had-come to hurt her lame child, so she ruffled up her feathers feathers and gave a quick dart forward. Her foot seemed strangely light. In a moment- she understood it all ; Black-Spot had -set he-r free ! And just then the gardener, and his wife came into the yard and saw what had happened. "You'd better tie her up again; she'll be away over the fields before night, with the whole family after her," the man said. . _ But the gardener's wife smiled and said, "No, I think I'll try her a day first, and see. I believe that she will remember." .. - And she did. ' Mrs. Cluckety- Cluck stayed right therein the corner corner of the yard by Black-Spot. And she never once wandered off through the fields, although they looked very inviting in the. summer sunshine. By the time Black-Spot's foot was better, and she could walk about, the garden stuff had been gathered, and the near-by fields had been reaped, so Cluckety-Cluck was allowed to wander with her whole family wherever she. wished. But, strangely enough, she seemed to have grown fonder of - the old corner in the yard.--Youth's Companion. Companion. Notes of Interest Ao Farmers, School Trustees and Teachers. At the Rural Teachers' Conference Conference at the 0,A.C., Guelph, Mr. .H. W. Foght, ispeeialpib in rural education from Washington, gave three lectures. The first was on "The- Schools That Made Denmark Famous." He told- how aft-ex losing losing nearly cue-third of her country and people in tthe war with-Austria and Germany, Denmark saw that she could not claim, greatness of size. ' So the people determined to remake their country, and schools., until now the Danes are the most scientific farmers of the world. They drained the swamps and tied down Itihe sand dunes -with trees, and it is every fa.rmer'-s aim to leave his farm better than he received received it. They have rural, elementary elementary schools for the children from 7 to 14 years of age. These . have beautiful grounds and experiment gardens. Nearly 85 per cent, of the •teacheris -are men who- remain_ for years in the same school and live in /the teacher'® residence near the school for seven days, a week during during twelve, months an the year. All subjects are well taught and correlated correlated with agriculture. Each -school is provided with a gymnasium. gymnasium. Nearby are the church, .the graveyard and the- manse. From the -ages of 15 to 18, as a- rule-, the boys work during the day on a rural model farm under a Government Government instructor and the girl® in a model farm home; but the nights are spent at their own home®. Here they learn to -do by doing, and they still get physical exercise's that they may have -strong bodies. They also have Danish folk high schools, which most of the young people attend. attend. As a rule the young men go in winter and the women in -summer. -summer. Here they get .lectures on myth®, -history and literature of ,their own and other lands._ They -are willing to listen w T ith inter est to long speeches and eager to discuss discuss them later, for they are trained trained to think rather _ /jha-n to be walking encyclopaedias. Also- they have local rural schools of agriculture agriculture where the young man learns technical and practical agriculture, while th-e young woman is learning home economics in another. When through these schools the young folk -are filled- with a love for their country a-nd its -soil -and join hands and build up new homes-. His second address' was on ' 'Danish 'Danish Agricultural Co-operation." Co-operation seems t-o- be the keynote keynote of Danish business- life and success. They have- co-operative bacon .factories, creameries 1 and egg-circles, as- well as a system of co-operative credit under which money may be borrowed aft 3% or 4 per cent-, interest. The. Danes raise white pigs and the desired weight is from 120 to 130 pounds. Before killing all hogs -are scrubbed and taken to a bacon factory, where they.are tested and stamped before and after killing. Only pure meiaifc may be sold. The country boy is taught to manufacture hi-s raw products products and sell it in the world's market-, thus eliminating middlemen's middlemen's profits. His third address was on "The New Farm School." Even during pioneer and home economy days, when tthe people were busy making homes and furniture, they generally generally had a log school where the three R's were taught by men who believed that "licking makes learning." learning." After that came a time when going to the city seemed the heist, but once again the cry seems- to be; "Back to the land." But unless people -are rural-minded, keep them in the city. In early days one church did the neighborhood, then followed many, until dead and abandoned churches became common common ; now «the tendency is church union. Since early days we have got many public schools, often, with a few pupils, high taxes and ill-paid (women) teachers. Now we seem to need consolidated schools, -and the country, which produces the greater part of the nation's wealth, is surely surely worthy of schools where parents can educate their children without moving to town or sending the children children from home.

ESTABLISHED BY FREDERICK WILLIAM III. Similar in Effect to the Orders ol Britain, France and Russia. There has been considerable satiric satiric comment oyer the despatches from Germany relating how the Emperor 'has been -showering iron crosses upon his officers and the soldiers in the ranks -for conspicuous conspicuous deeds of bravery. According to one despatch whole wagon loads of these decorations were abandoned abandoned by the German army when the first retreat from Paris began. _ The Iron Cross was established by Frederick William III., King of Prussia, in 1813, as a reward for bravery in the war with Napoleon. It consisted of an iron cross of the form known as "cross patte," with a border of silver suspended by a 'black ribbon with two white stripes. In the centre of the cross was a spray.of three oak leaves and above it was a crown with the initials initials "F.W." and the date 1813. William I. Revived. When the Franco-Prussian war began, Emperor William I. revived the order ,which had languished. The only change in the cross was that the initial became a "W."and the date was changed to 1870. Since the Franco-Prussian war no iron crosses have been awarded, the order being strictly a military one and the awards -being .made for deeds of daring in battle. Generally Generally the Emperor tosses the ribbon about the neck of the happy recipient, recipient, but according to the despatches, despatches, he is tossing the crosses about with such a free hand these days that he is awarding them by mail or at times by -bearer. There are many German orders, dating from the fudal days, when the Teuton barons awarded to their lieges various marks of favor. These orders, however, are mainly mainly conferred by the rulers of the various kingdoms and principalities principalities constituting the. empire, and many of them are for terms of military military service for distinguished work in devising military weapons. British V. C. The Victoria Cross of Great Britain, Britain, widely known and probably the most'highly prized, of all honors, was established in 1856. It is awarded only for "conspicuous bravery," and to gain a Victoria Gross is indeed - to accomplish a deed of honor for a Briton. It is a bronze cross surmounted by- a -bronze lion, and bearing a scroll, "For Valor." Frenchmen, of course, covet the Legion of Honor, awarded to all men France think-s have done some great deed, no matter in what walk of life. It was founded by Napoleon Napoleon in 1802, and was first known as the Order of the Eagle. The Russians, Russians, for military bravery, decorate decorate with the Order of -St. George, which was established by Empress Catharine II. in 1789. Servia has the order of Takova, and Austria has two purely military orders. Japan has the Order of the Golden Kite, the'newest of all of the decorations for valor. It was established in 1891. War, Unless General and Continuous, Continuous, Will Not Check Increase Increase of People., A little more than one hundred j years ago Thomas Malthus set, orth the startling theory that there j is a tendency for' the population of | the earth to increase faster than the j means of subsistence. Since then there has existed -a school of philosophers philosophers who have insisted that famine famine and pestilence and war ape the checks^ provided by nature to prevent prevent human beings from multiplying multiplying beyond the point where the resources resources of the earth can support them. To those who accept this point of view the terrible conflict which is now being waged in Europe is simply simply part of a natural phenomenon. Men are killing each other, in other words, i-n order that their descendants descendants may not starve to death. If this were the generally accepted accepted point of view science would never have made the wonderful steps it has made toward the stamping o-ut of disease. If all men believed in the Malthusian theory the fight which has been waged continuously for conservation of natural resources resources and of human life would probably never have been undertaken. undertaken. .Of what avail is the worldwide worldwide movement for universal peace afte r all ?

The tourist was taking the rësfc cure for a day in a Loudon ooard- in-g house. ■ ■ "I -sibaill want no more meals,' she said, when the maid -brought up tea. "I shall be up for dinner. There's nothing more I want." Then in the next breath she added, added, "Oh, ye-s, there is 1 I want, that hot-water bottle ; but that's not to eat." The cockney maid stood silent for a moment, then said, geelfully, "Oh, yes, it is to 'eat! You want me"to 'eat it for you." If a minister's trousers bag at the knees no apology is necessary. Some people drown their sorrows in the flowing 'bowl, and others jump into the sea of matrimony. How He Knows. A travelling sales agent visiting a large factory made a lb et with the manager that he would pick out all .the married .men among the employes. employes. .. , . ■ Accordingly he stationed himself at the door as they came 'back from dinner and . mentioned all ' those whom he believed, to be married, and in almost every case he was right. ' 'How do you do it ?" asked the. manager in amazement. ( 'Oh, it's quite simple," said the traveller, "quite simple. The married married men all wipe their feet on the fhat ; the single men don't. ' ' An egotist is a man who èxpeots a woman to marry him for himself alone. A Law of Nature. One cannot hastily and at the same time intelligently disregard the theories of Malthus and of those who have enlarged upon his views. His arguments, his array of facts, are altogether too formidable formidable for that. In the first place, we must admit that in the animal and in the -plant world famine, pestilence pestilence and war do maintain the balance balance between the species. It is a law of nature, but does this law apply to human beings? Herbert Quick, economist, pointed pointed out in a recent survey of world problems that from 1882 until 1907 the population of the world increased increased by 172,738,000, and that if this rate -continues unchecked, there will in 500 years be 10,000,000,000 people inhabiting the earth. Those who attempt to oppose the Malthusian viewpoint, however, do not deny that the principle of increase increase of population is sound. -They do deny that famine, pestilence pestilence and war do maintain checks which xvill prevent overpopulation in the ages that are to come. To-day it is in China, where the birth rate is between fifty and sixty to the thousand, that the greatest poverty and suffering exist. Mr. Quick's theory is that the simple life produces large families ; that a complex life cuts down the birth rate. In France, where life is generally believed to be what Mr. Quick terms complex, there is the lowest birth rate in the world. The Law of Justice. Thus does one modern economist reconcile the law of evolution with the law of justice. "In civilized man," he says, "under conditions of justice, freedom and enlightenment, enlightenment, the law of multiplication gives way to the law of complex, full, manifold and absorbing life." Other opponents of the Malthusian Malthusian theory believe that when necessity necessity demands man will devise means of 'Support from l-ands now incapable* of cultivation. We know that man has already accomplished much in that direction. If one assumes an international viewpoint, the great and more immediate immediate problejn is the fairer distribution distribution of the land among the various races. It docs not seem wholly improbable that .some time the world may solve the problem so that China shall not be so overpopulated. overpopulated. If a million men are killed in this war " will be an absurdly small che -n the world's increase of popu.ation in the -next 500 years, but a severe check in restricted areas that are not overpopulated. If war wore to be an appreciable check against the multiplication of human beings, it would need to be worldwide and continuous. It will not be, just- as pestilence and famine famine will not be, because civilized man will not permit it to be. War. which kills off the young men, the productive laborers of the world, on the other hand, does entail entail great economic loss. It causes - 'so misery and suffering now. The theory of the economist who believes the increased intelligence and the increasing complexity of life are to be the safeguards against overpopulation in future ages is far more intelligeinit and far more in accord with the general idea of Divine justice than the theory of Malthus. » - Taffeta Sashes. In spite of the fact that satin has taken the place of taffeta to a large extent, taffeta ribbon sashes are shown on many evening frocks. Especially for young women is the taffeta sash shown. There is usually usually a huge 'bow at one side of the front and very wide ribbon is used. Green Chiffon and Monkey Fur. Green golfine, chiffon and monkey monkey fur are combined in this "way. There is a foundation skirt, of soft green silk golfine. There is a long, gathered tunic of green chiffon that leaves exposed about fifteen inches of the foundation skirt. The tunic is edged with a fringe of monkey fur. The long chiffon sleeves -are edged with monkey and the bodice is composed of golfine and chiffon. Scalloped Velvet. One of the new models shows a velvet, skirt scalloped about the bottom, the scallops bound with satin. There is a long 'beaded tulle tunic finished at the bottom with a bead frings. One-piece Frock Fastened in Back. A 'black frock consists of a loose, waist-less bodice of satin that reaches to the hips and fastens in the back with jet buttons.

There is a slightly rounded neck line, finished with a little rolling collar, as high in back as in front, of silver lace. Quite Safe. An American clergyman was once holding a service near an Indian village camp. His belongings were scattered about in one of the lodges, and when he was go;ng oufc he asked the chief if it was safe to leave them there while he went- to the village to hold a service. "Yes," the chief answered, "quite safe. There is not a white man within a hundred miles !" Pockets will apparently have a place in autumn fashion.

" "Qh, that's • nothing," cried thé young bride cheerily, "Cheep and Co. are advertising perfectly lovely things cut.down 25 per cent." Every girl on earth imagines that she would make an ideal wife. Never before in the history of mankind have so many and such fervent prayers for peace béen luted luted unto God. Wars have despoil p o the earth before now; Caesars.
