"Had you ever heard of this son before?" Dobbins asked of Nan. "Yes," she said, "I knew of bis ex- istence, but I have never before met him." "Ho was apprised of his father's death?"

Apart from the hygienic importance of a fast, tbere is a psychological value; the more we feel wo want our foodâ€" and we shall feel we want it bndly the day afterâ€" the better will bo our digestion and absorption. A fast not only purifies our l)lood and organs, but muscular growth is benefited. It Is Nature's own cure for fever. Wiiat better method is there of treating a severe cold or in- fluenza than by strict .starvation for a day or two. in conjunction with the lilipral drinking of warm water. it was Mark Twain, I believe, who said that "no cold in the head could survive 24 hours un. odified starva- tion." .Many diseases responc favorably to short periods of fasting. Acuto pneu- monia, acute nephritis, diabetes, gout, Indigestion, high blood pressure, rheumatic .affections, skin disorders are examples. For severe obesity strict dietinfT is essential.

A Forlorn Hope In 1911, a British salvage company attempted the salving of tlie Lutine treasure, held since 1799 in the grip of the treacTierous Vlieland shoals. For nine months they labored, and in that time sucked millions of tons of sand from tiie wreck, and built it into a barrier to divert the sea cur- rents; finally, they uncover wreck. A mass of cannon ball, rusted to- gether, then barred their way. They smashed through this, and found one ball that had been in actual contact with the gold. Then a storm drove them offâ€" and buried, irretrievably, tho wreck. The gold off the canon ball weighed six grains. Not always is it the storm, however, that sets at naught the salvor's ef- forts. The bullion lying in the Lusi- tania Is a case in point. This great liner lies at a depth of forty fathoms, off the Old Head of Kinsalo. Eleven years of tide rip and cor- rosion, to say nothing of the tremend- ous pressure of the water at that I depth, will have reducer the once I line ship to a mass of tangled girders and grotesqeuly twisted platework. I What staterooms are still whole I will be tho haunt of gigantic conger ! eels, and the breeding ground of the graphic is equally as accurate as the above, it is no cause for wonder that the Americans picture Canada only as a land of igloos and England as a country of beer mugs and plus-fours.
