It will, uo doubt, be but a short time until Hying machines become as coiu- (uou as automibilcs are now, and when that ti>xic comes acnal tratVic will have to be "regulated." Just what these regulations are to be depends on dflvdoping circumstances. Tiiirc will be legally qualilied sky pilots and sky captains. I'^very municipality will require to own a fast llycr and to maintitiu a sky police foice to see that the regulations arc enforced.

The navigation of the air means less congestion of traffic on earth, and a more pleasant exis- tence for those who remain on terra firma. Tliere are thouBands of people in this country who wish with an intense wish that every aulomubilu in Christendom uould don a pair of wings and sail away through the "empyrian blue" and forget to come back. To this extent at least the earnest desire of all is that tlio naviga~ tion of the air may assume a practical form lu the very near future aud the experimental stage cannot loo soon be passed. Four New York crooks camo over to Canada recently expecting to do up the whole country from Ottawa to Vancouver. Their first job at Ottawa proved their last and three of them are now in dutnucc vile. The few thousand dollars worth of jewellery which they stole has also been recov- ered. This sudden jerk on the reins will doubtless give these light fintjorod gentlemen a more wliolcsomo idea of Oauada'E preparedness to deal with the criminal under world of either foreign or native production.

John Snell Dead One by one the pioneera of this see'icn are passim; aver the hill of mystery to the eternal homestead, and the reflection is a saddenint; one. Mr. John Snell of the west Ixick line ia the latest to take his departure, his death occurring on Thursday of last week in his C8th year. He had been a sufferer from chronic bronchitis for many years. Mr. Snell camo to the township of Artemesia when a boy of ten, from the township of Mono, where he was born. Later he married a Miss E izabeth Cam- eron, oriijinally of the township of Vaugimn, and settled on tha farm where he died. Mr. Snell could teli some intei- esting stories of the early day?. He says when he came here there was only one house, a lo? residence in Fleshcrton, occupied by Mr. E ias Orey, who figured prominently in the early jmunicipal history of the township and county. Mr. Snell w.is of a genial nature, and was an adher- ent of the English church. Ho was a Conservative in politics, and hud been a member of the Orange order for foit • years.

HoUey on the 22nd inst. The meeting was well attended, nineteen niembers responding to the roll c.iU. The suliject, " Simple Meals for Berry Time, " was taken up liy Mrs. Joseph Buchanan. The picking and canning of fruit is usually a tedious task and a Woman should simplify her household tasks as much as possible in order that she m.iy have time for reading or .study. There are many kinds of breakfast foods that require little preparation and which with the addiiioii of cream and sugar will l)j found quite appetizing. Early vege- tables are easily and quickly preiMired. Eggs m.ay be prefmred in many ways, while fre.sh fruit sliould be used ui its season as much as po.ssible. A very intere.sting jajH-r, " Our Bird and Insect Friends, " was given by Mrs. J. I. Graham. Birds are the farmer's friends â€" not of the farmer alone but of the whole kingdom of vegetation. It has been stated that if the birds became ex- tinct vegetation ct>uld not survive the r.jvagesof the various insects and worms and would cea.so to exist in nine years. We should instil in the minds of our young Canadians a love for nature and help them to understand nature's hiws and that it is neee.«sjiry for us to work in harm(my with nature in order to obtain the best results. This, it ishopgd, would do away with the wanton destruction of our little feathered songsters. We Can- adian women might wi.sely foHow the example of our French sisters, who have clubs for bird protection. " Canning and I'reser\ing of Str.iw Berries" was the subject given by Mrs. H. D. Meljoughi-y. Many helpful and practical hints wore given. Great emphasis was laid cm having the gems thoroughly sterilized iK'fore tilling them with t!ie fruit. By reversing the gems frequently while cooling, the fruit will lie kept in good position. \ w 'c5 § s .t< â€" » â- * ^ £. ^e- to o o •e % B CO fco c o a 2 o Ci Jf -^ a> o •~ « 11, ^•â- P O) *^ "' , u a - o c -i -t-i _>> en ^ CO =^ a ci o "oj S) O CO O 2 â€" * O o o 4J c >^ t^ o 03 -4-> Q4 c CO c o o rt o J o 22 1" â- :3 ^ M «!- E neriuiirsj up a nicrchai.t laiUiIrg lusinets urder the ni ai 1 1 ii'» >-t < f Fiid Morlty »l.o is a tirst class woiknnu.
