<^fm â-  - â€" > The Quiet Observer .y^ THE GREAT PANACEA. General Bramwell Booth has made a most pleasant Impression on the general audiences he has been addreaain;;. as well as on his own particular flock. He has an amiable tumor and does not take eithtT himseU or the Salvation Army too seriously. He feels that his work does not need to be justified and that It is not necessary tor him to attitudinize over it. It speaks for itself. The Army is now a trusted a;ent of governments, and its heaU is consulted by monarcba and ministers alike on problems of the iubmerged truth. In a Chinese city infested with beggar.s the authorities asked the Army what they would take and clean up the affliction. An agreement was made and the beggars disappeared. When the King of Sweden enquired how the transformation was accomplished. General Booth said: "We make beggars work." This is a panacea that might be applied to mendicants of all elaases, and to the disgruntled, the dissatisfied, and all that are in sorrow or tribula- tion. Few people understand what a wonderful cure for all things work is. It has a healing quality, it lias redeeming power, it has aa ennobling in- fluence, and the Salvation Army has discovered how to apply the panacea. The governments discovered it during the war. but they have laid it aside now that peace has come. Could the government not get the Salvation Army to keep us all busy? It is the sovereign remedy. SPLENDID NAT IVE SCULPTURES. Ontario has reason to be proud of the art of one of its native sculptors, Mr. Walter B. Allward. His memorial at Brantford of the discoverer of the telephone is not merely a worthy tribute to a great Canadian, but is in itself a matter for rejoicing as a product of Canadian art and genius. The Toronto memorial of those who fell In the South African war is a striking piece of work, the splendid figure of Peace on the top of the obelisk being of unusual and beautiful design. His latest work is the great war memorial at Peterboro, which shows Barbarism stopped and recoiling before the spiritual forces of civilization's manhood. In many of these memorial pieces the design covers a considerable area and this lends additional impressiveness to the figures which are of heroic dimensions. It is to be hoped that when statuary Is selected by any of the memorial committees they will place the work in competent hands, after consulting recognized authorities like the Royal Canadian Academy or the Ontario Society of Art. FARM VALUES AND PRICES. Harvesting operations for 1920 are now reported as complete, but a large amount of threshing remains to be done. For one reason and other, in spite of. or perhaps on account of, the open season, a very small proportion of ploughing has been done. Some nature signs seem to indicate a proIon::3d and open fall, and the farmer is not loth to take advantage of an opportuiaty to procrastinate. November rains have put the fields in fine condition â- j.n<l the wise plowman does not lose his opportunity. Live stock are going frc-ly on the market, the abundance of fodder being no consideration against c^mi- modity values. Potatoes are proving a plentiful crop, and prices run from $1 to |2 a bag. The coat of seed last spring is being considered in soni<i districts. At $60 an acre for seed, and with 100 bushels an acre productio:;, a dollar a bushel is not a long price. The fall in the price of milk U one of the notable signs in the general reduction of values. The adjustment la â-  prices is not going to injure anyone who has been thrifty for five years past. NIAGARA AND THE ZAIMBESi FALLS. Leo Weinthal's comparison of Niagara Palls with the great Victoria Falls on the Zambesi River is almost unique from the fact of his intlmao* with the great African cataract and tha close study he made of the American one. He declared he had quite changed his mind about Niagara after seeing it. and the impression that he had formed from written descriptions had evi- dently failed to convey a proper conception of its grandeur. The height of the Victoria Falls is from 400 to 450 feet and jts width 4.500 yards, as con- trasted with the 160 to 170 feet of Niagaras height, and width of 1.0<W yards. The greater tonnage of water pouring over Niagara conveyed to him an extraordinary sense of its tremendous resistless current. The rush of the rapids and the enormous force with which the Niagara torrent precipitates itself ^contracted with the sluggish current of the Zambesi, flowing through level country for 2,000 miles and fed by few rivers till it falls from a beight as great as the golden ball of St. Paul's Cathedral above the churchyard, into a canyon fifteen miles long. The presence of extensive coal fields near the Victoria Falls and coal at a cost of $2.50 to $3 a ton prevented the develop- ment of hydro-electric po^ver there. He thought the reservoir of the great lakes a natural storage of power for the people of Ontario. Mr. Weinthal did not allude to the Grand Falls of Ungava, now part of the province of Quebec, on the Hamilton River, which are among the wonders of the world, and should be known to Canadians. They are 900 feet high, and with the development of long-distance transmission can hardly fail to be utilized at » future day. So if Niagara becomes played out we have another card up our sleeve to trump the Zambesi lead. GOOD REPUBLICAN CABINET TIMBERS. No one should have been surprised at the result of the Presidential election in the United Staus. All things considered, the surprise would have been to have found Governor Cox the favorite. Senator Harding declared himself opposed to the Leesue of Nations, but H in. Elihu Root. Herbert Hoover, ox-President Taft and other prominent members of the Republican party evidently took this in a Pickwickian sense, and apparently the F-each. the Germim, the British and other European papers now accept the situation as an indication that there will be some revision of the covenant of the League and that Uncle Sam will take his place with John Bull, Johnnie Cripaud. Fritz the rowdy and all the other European gentlemen. The fact is. Mr. Harding won't be able to help himself, any more than Mr. Wilson wx-^ when he declared war after saying he wouldn't. There are possibilities of a very fine admiulstration in the Republican party, and the men who are being mentioned, should they prove to be Mr. Harding's choice, will outshin,- and outweigh Mr. Wilson's aggregation. Mr. Wilson did not seem to have the great modern business faculty of picking a good staff. It is impossible to suppose that there were not abler men to be had than the men he chose. Mr. Mc-i^doo was perhaps as able as any, and he did not remain in the cabinet. That Mr. Wilson betrayed fundamental weakness in this respect should not, however, deprive him of the credit he deserves for his idealism and his academic faith In human nature. He is likely, like many other great men. to have more appreciation from posterity than from his contemporaries, and he should as a scholar be satisfied with that, even if his fourteen points do not penetrate the political cuticle of his countrymen. A DOLLAR HAIR CUT. A hair cut is costing a dollar in Chicago now. and It does not appear that this la an inclusive charge. One only gets what is described as a trim for the nimble buck. If the charge included a face massage and bay rum or tiome of the anti-dandruff applications, along with a fre« singe which is guaranteed to remedy the damage done by the scissors, as well as sanitary and antiseptic treatment throughout, and if the operating surgeon would consent, like the New Thoughters. to go into the silteBce for half-an-hour, a dollar hair cut might come to be regarded as not unreasona'ble, provided one got a hair back. It is reported that the reason hair cuts have been so cheap in the past has been on account of the bye-products. Tltis is beyond us, but with the reputation scientific research has achieved in the utilization of waste products one is not prepared to deny the possibilities latent in blonde and auburn sweepings. K we pay a dollar we should get the hair back. There is no doubt about that. In the old days in Chicago, a generation ago, a hair cut cost anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five cents, according to the' equipment. Clippers were only coming in and there was a prejudice against them in some quarters. Brushing by machinery was tabooed. The tonsorial artists, as they called themselvets. struck against the dust-storms in which they found themselves involved. When the simooui arose they declared they became affected with all the diseases on the medical health officer's list, and they declined to do more than blow down your neck and negotiate a side parting with the ordiuary comb and brush. For twenty-five cents at most these delicate attentions couUl be purchased almost anywhere, and in many places ot equal respectability for less. And now the Chicago barbers charge a dollar. No wonder baldness is increasing. SHE WIU BE ACnVE IN LEGION AFFAIKS j SALT IMPORTANT PART OF DIET Practically everybody thinks salt la only used to give food a pleasant flavor, when from a physical stand- point it is most important part of the diet. Where salt is scart-e it is considered one of the greatest luxu- ries and probably no one article U in n.ive universal use, unless it be water. Vou pick up the salt shaker and sprinkle yo«r food with it. not once thinking of its wonderful qualities, where it cornea from or how It is pre- pared for uao. Salt is sometimes found in an almost pure state, but as a general rule it Is mixed with other things that must be removed before it is suitable for table use. However, there are some salt mines where the only thln» necessary for its preparation is to pulverize it. Salt is found la largo quantities in at* water, bnt this kind ka* aerer been used tor the table, as the purer fonDi are so much more aratlabl*. Roek salt is the purvat form of salt, an* the createat *«p«»« of tkla ktn4 is in Russian I'oland, whore one bed alone is known to be 500 miles in length, 20 miles wide, and about 1.200 feet thick. In many of these Euro- pean salt mines the men working there never come to the surface, as they would lose too much time. .\s a result some of them have been known to spend their entii^' lives down in the bowels of the earth with their four wails of nothing but salt, salt, salt. In one of these mines there Is a church sculptured entirely from salt. Salt wells of Michigan and New York, the Great Salt Lake out in I'tah, and the famous rock salt mines of Lousiana and Kansas furnish, practi- cally all the salt used in the I'nlted States. Besides Its table use, salt oc- cupies a most important place In the fommercial world. It Is used exten- sively In the process of glazing earth- enwara and in the preserving of meats, hides and many other articles. Cer- tain smelting processes require its help In separating metals from their ores, and it Is utilized in fertUUIng dry soils.

According to the Gospel harmonies this verse belongs to a time later than the things described in 2-6. It is really the conclusion of chapter 10. Jesus was going from place to place healing the sick, teaching the people, attracting crowds and making many disciples. The picture is sketch- ed in Luke 7: 21. 22. Verse 2. John the Baptist had been imprisoned by Herod in a lonely castle nine miies east of the northern end of the Dead Sea. Verse 3. John was somehow In touch with the outer world. In fact. Herod stood in awe of him: simply wished to keep him where he could not tell what he knew about Herod him- self. The Jews wefe confidently ex- pecting the Messiah. Was Jesus the Messiah, or vias He not? Verse 4. The witnesses were not to deal in hearsay, but were to tell John the truths they had heard and the miracles they had seen. Verse 5. These miracles were to be described to John that his faith might be strengthened. Verse 6. John was discouraged. Jesus cheered him up. Things did not look good to the rugged pioneer preacher, whose expectations had been right. Verse 16. The conduct of the un- friendly Jews was so Inoonsistent that it was difficult to find an illustration. Verse 17. Reference is here made to the contrary *ays of children at play. Verse 18. John the Baptist came neither eating nor drinking, in har- mony with the customs of the rest of the people. Verse 1. The Son of Man came eat- ing and drinking, just as other people eat and drink, and neither Jasus nor John pleased these fastidious fault- finders. They were determined to re- ject Christ and his representatives. Verse 25. Those who were wise in their own cwncelt and who were deter- mined to be critical did not understand Jesus, while the opeu-minded disciples did. Verse 26. "Thy will be done." Verse 27. All things pertaining to the origin and extension of the king- dom are in the hands of Jesus Christ. Verses 28-30. .\U must wear the yoke of somebody's authority. In comparison with all others Christ's yoke is easy, his burden light. 12; 14. In spiteof the abundant love and childlike simplicity of Jesus' teachings, the Pharisees sought His destruction. Their pretended reason was that he violated the Sabbath and was condemned by the law. Topics for Research and Discussion I. John iu Prison (vs. 1-6). 1. Who was Johii the Baptist'* 2.

This is because your system ealls for water or liquid of soine kind to counteract the orersupply of salt yon have absorbed. The sky above them arched in pitchy blackness, but the starlight was so keen and brilliant that it lighted up the white silence round them. Stephen, on his hand.s and knees, hung over the still figure and gazed down into the marble face. The shor;, j silky black hair made a lit- | tie blot of darkness in the snow, the ; white face waj turned upward ; to tile etarlighl. Talbot, looking | down, caught for an instant tiie sight I of ite pure oval, regular lines, and the | sweet mouth, and the passionate, rea- j sonless fate of the man crouching j over it. and then looked desperately i up and down the narrow, lonely trail. | They were five m:Ie« from the «->wn, i a little ever three frcm the cabins. I GUetenlng whiteaees lay % around. I till the piaina of snow grt* gray in the distance; overhead, the burning, fiadhing, ret>tle£3 srtare; and far off, where the two planets guarded the horizon, the red lights of the north began to quiver and flicker in the night. ; ihe man on the ground noticed | them, stnd straigQtening himself sud- denly, looked toward tnem. "ITie flare of hell!" he muttered, i with stanng. straining eyes. "ll« coming very near." TaIt>ot oaw thai, hie reeaoa bad gone, failed suddenly, as a liglit g^^es ' (iown under a blast; he was delirious i with that sudden delirium born of | the awful cold that seize* men like a ; wolf In the long night cf the Arctic ; winters. For a second the helplessneee of his situation f.aehed in upon Talbot'6 brainâ€" alone here at midnight on the frozen trail, with a madman and # ccrpse! * He saw he must get help at once, and the cabins wore the nearest point where help could be found. He could gee men who would carry Ste- j phen by force it aeceesary, but would he ever live in the fangs of this pitl- lese oeid till they cculd return to him? He stood for one moment ir- resolutj. unwilling to leave him to meet his death, and that horrible fear that he read in those haggard eyes watching the horizon, alone; and in tliat moment Stephen looked up at him and met hi6 eye. and the madnees rolled back and stood oft his brain for an instant. He beck- oned to Taibct. and 'ralbot went down ca h;s knees beside him on the snow. • I "My claim.i," muttered Stephen; "these claims will be yours now. do you understand.' I've arranged it all with that lawyer Ho»;kins. down- ' town, "niey were to be he.-s if any- thing happened to me. hut we shall both so to-night., and they will be yours. She said 1 had sunk my soul in them. Talbot, ehe was right. The gold got me: 1 neglected her; I let her slip back into evil: I've murdered her for the claims. They are the i price hell paid me. But you keep them. All turns to gocd in your hands. They can't harm you. Keep them. They are my grave." "Stephen, rouse yourself: ton are ailval You've got to llvd! " said Tal- bot, desperately, shaking him by the shoulder. "I sm going now to brln? men back with me to help you home. â- Vou've got to live till I return, do you hear'.'" Stepiien had turned from him again and put his arms round the motiou- leiie form before them. "Th-y arc coming nearer." Talbot heard him mutter; "but they ehall burn throush me first. little one." And he -rtretched hirj-self across the corpse as If to shield It from the a^ proachiij; flames, ar^ t'ar off the red eyes of- the planets sunk nearer th* horizon, but stiil seemed to watch them aeries the snowy waste. Ta'.bot felt the only one thlu tbread of hope was to go as fast as his fa- tigue-clogged feet could move up to the cabins, and he rose and faced t^« homeward trail. He felt the hope of saving dttphen was just the lea*t. faintest flicker that ever burned with- in a heart: siill there was the chance â€"the chaace tliit. even should he b« already in the dledf) that ends to death when he returned, they could rouse him frcm it and drag him into life again. He forced his neavy fsat along, and with a great effort started into'a run. His limbs left like lead, and all his body like paper. The long hours of cold and fatigue, tha e.\cltement. the rush of chiugiug emo- tions he had gone through, had beaa draining hi<j vitalii.\ . but he called upon all that te had left and put it aM into the effort to save his friend. He k'jew that any one second lost or gained might be the one to turn the balance of life or death, and he urged himself forward tiU a dull puin filled all ills aido. and his temples eeemed bursting, and the ^reat lights before him swam In a blood-red mist. Stephen, left alone, raised hU head and gazed round hUu once, then h» laid his cheek down on the cc>:i cheek, preesed his lipa to the cold lips, and hi.s »jreist upon the coM breast ju>3t over where the bullet had plowed its way through the flesh and bone I'he night gripped him tighter ai'.d tighter, and slowly he sunlt to sleep. L'ENVOL. Noontide in June. .\ sky an the clearest, palest a.?ure. and a rollicking, swelling, tumbling sea, full of smooth, billowy waves chasing each other over 11_ <rep green surface^ -waves with their white crests blown backward, throwing their spray hiRh iu the air and seemInK to laugh and call to each other in gurgling voices; and between sea and sky the liquid golden sunlight filling tbe warm. throbbing air. spreading itself in daziling sheetn upon the water, and glinting in ten thousand glittering points oa the fly- ing spray thrown up by a steamer's screw. It was the steamer "Prince." kemeward boaad from .Vlaska. carry- ing passengers, and a cargo as rich and yellow as the sunshine. And a.-t 'f it knew of its precious and costly charqe. the steamer cut proudly through the turbulent water, cleaving Its straight passage homeward, home- ward. On the deck of the boat, lean- ing back idly in a long chair, his calm, gray eyes fixed on its receding shores, where the golden sunshius seemed palpitating on their perilou.j loveliness. Talbot was sitting, with the freshening breeze stirring his hair and bringing to him the breath of a thousand spring flowers on the land. He wa.i returning, and returning suc- cessfil, with his work accomplished, his toil over, his ,jiim achieved, and among all the lines of pain stamped on his pale and quiet face there was written a certain triumph, that yet remaps was not so much triumph as reliet. It was Just four montlu since he had seen )>oth laid side by side in their loneiy grave in the west gulch; and those four months would ever be a blot of horrible blackness on his life. Should he ever be able to for- get the blank desolation that had closed on him night after night as h«> pat by his lonely hearth or paced the floor, his steps alone breaking the aw- ful stillness? Yet he had forced him- self to stay and face it, had continued his work and his method of life un- changed. His men had noted littla difference in him. He had stayed the time he had appointed for hims- self, had accomplished his self-ap- pointed task, and at last, when he summer burst in upon the gulch and loosened all Nature's fetters, he found himself also free: and now, like a black curtain rent in twain and torn from the bright face of a picture, the clouds of the past seemed falling away, leaving his future clear to his gaze'. It stretched before him bright as the laughing sunlit sea beneath his eyes. If they could have shared his joy, if they could have had their home-coming, his fellow-toilers, his fellow-prisoners: And the salt tears stung his lids until he closed them, shutting out the vivid yellow light, as he thought ot the desoUts grave in the gulch. The fresh, coo! air fanned his face, and the sun smilsd upon him. a loose piece of canvas of an awning near him flapped backward and forward with a monotonous musical sound, the plash and gurgle of the tumbling waves fell sootfeiugLy on his ears. Gradually sleep came over him gently, and m- wfapped his stained, wearied body, his sore, bmised mind. When he opened his eyes again it was afternoon. The stealer was still flving onward, but the sea vas quiet and smooth, and lay still on every side in the sun s rays as a pool of liquid gold, and the shores ot Alaska had vanished, lost in a burnished haze of light. The End. WINTER CURE OF BEES AND HIVES Packing and Storing 'Methods Should Receive Careful Attention. The initial step In the successful wintering cf bees commences in Sep- tember when the hives are carefully gone through and the weak ones f«l a syrup solution consisting of two parts sugar and one of water. An I ounce of cream of tartar to 40 lbs. of sugar is usually added to iavert th.> sugar and retard grauulatkjn. Con- tinue I'e'.'dlng in October if necessary, and make si'.re tiat each hive has at Itast six full frames of sealed stores. Thf hives should be packed or stor- ed away in Noveaiber. and various methods may t)e adopted. .At the Es- porimental Station. Invermere, B.C.. winttri:ig In the cellar has been tried, in a pit in the Ontario wintering case, and in the iCooteaay hive case. The last nu'thod has given the best results. The Kootenay hive case is an iia- provement o:i the double walled hive, and has been introduced in the form of a peruvauent hive case, and made to takv' the ten-frame hive. There is a thr>"'-inch s',>ace all around the brood chamber ai'.d supers. I'p to the top of tho brood chamber it is kept perman- ently packed with luoss or planer shav- ings the y^>ar round. This is covered in to prevent the moss or shavings from I'alliug into the hive when open. There is al.;o a three-inch space un- derneath the floor, whic'a is kept per- manently packed as well. The stories.or' 'Hits." are all alike, and as supers are put on they are added. The flat cover is '» inch larg- er al round than the top of the easd. and small triangular blocks nailed iu each corner inside raise it and ensure permanent ventilation. To pack for Winter all that is necessary Is to have one "llf» " above the brood chamber packed with moss or planer shavings. To facilitate the packing we usually have pillows, made from moss and ugnny sacks. Just the size of tho storey itr lift. The cover Is then added and tho bees are pack- ed for th« Winter. The only attention now required Is to keep the entrance clear of dead bees. Thtt I'ees have more protection iu this case than iu the double-walled blvtf. and the temperature Is kept cool- er and more uniform In Summer.

Aspara- gus tips, cocked peas, hits of chopped cooked celery or carrot, chopped cooked spinach, minced cooked .jausage. ham. bacon, meat and poul- try are all specially good additions and may frequently be the means of using up leftovers too small to use ill any other way. WhdQ the eggs are to be served alone, beat them thoroughly, allow- ing one for each persons to be served. Add a tablespoonful of milk for each vgg and also a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. If the family ob- jects to parsley surprise them .some morning by adding chives chopped very fine. Salt and paprika may t>« added to suit the individual taste. But even if tactfully seasoned the eggs can be ruined in the cooking! Let a tablespoonful of bacon dripping melt in the frying pan (the chafing dish Is ideal for cooking scrambled eggsu and when it sizzles pour In the egg mixture.

RHUBARB GROWN IN WATER Hhabarb that has taken root may be grown la water, carv should be taken. when lifting the roots from the gar- den, not to injure them. It U well to leave them fully ex- posed to the weather for two days be- fore bringing them Indoors. Then half- fill empty jars with water; if you can get rain water so much the better. Pnt the rhubarb roots right into the water, If soma of them ore too big they may be cut in portions, though care must be taken to avoid damaging the top buds from which the stalks will spring. The rhubarb dees best of all In the early tages of Its growth If It is kept away from a bright light. In a wonder- fully short time the pretty pink stems begin to come up. Then the plants may be removed to a lighter position, and they are seen to be really very at- tractive indeed. It is surprising what a large num- ber of stalks quite a small root will send up and eventually the roots sliould just be placed In the grtnind again. .Vny shoots they send up must be left alouo, and. If this is done, the plants will be In bearing again next year. The only thing to keep in mind in connoction with this novel culture is thai the rhubarb roots should never be allowed to become dry. A SUBSTITUTE FOR LINEN Paper dollies, are now being made ^o closely to resemble those of more sub- stantial fabrics that it is quite diffi- cult to distinguish them from the linen varieties. When made of heavy ribbed linen paper, with no cut-out designs, and finished with raised borders to suggest scalloping and dainty embroid- ery, they are most attractive to us<* for the hasty luncheon. These dollies cume In many sizes and shapes and may be used several times, if care la taken, because they are so durable. REMARKABLE PASSAGE .\ rvtuarUable passage lias just been accouiull-shed by tha Danish thrse- masted schooner Harris, which has made tho voyage from Campbelltou.
