forceful deterrent for other young folks who may be tempted to try the freightriding plan as a sort of lark if this young man lives he will go through life with only two stumps for legs too many young men in this and other parts have looked too lightly on the dangerous practise of riding freight trains the unemployment question has made many yoijngmea drifters who take tike this method of seeing the country the balancenrftlje crowd who were with the unfortunate young man on saturday were arrest ed and taken to jyiton charged with trespass it is a punishable crime to trespass on railway

disintegration i have just been reading- a snlenidjd article in a magazine going to we ex the great canadian national exhibition opened its gatesjjlieworld last week and we often wonder if we who live so close to this great annual event have a full appreciation of this affair that lays claim of being only canadas national exhibition we hear of the worlds fairs and while it has never been our privilege to attend one we doubt very much if any of them excel canadas annual event which has been held for fiftyfour years while national in name it is far wider in nature truly canada is very much to the fore but every other nation too realizes the importance of placing before the visitors some con ception of their countries growing as it has from year to year and adding to its grounds and buildings the exhibitionhas reachedrapinnaclethatcannotbe obtained by any event held only occasionally some times one may feel that there is little change in the nature of the event but always will be found the newest developments in all lines of trade and in dustry viewed from an educational standpoint it seems that if reasonably possible one cannot well afford to miss the event if you would keep pace with changing conditions the canadian national exhibi tion is truly the show window of the world and might well lay claim to being a worlds fair but after all whats in a nameanyway editorial

heaven help the faflutyllthejiasft pevishljwjfel there has been some doubt concerning the value of applying to stones a pireser- vatlve in an effort to prevent disintegra tion triepreserva6ve employe most generally consists of a wax stearate dis- solved in a volatile fluid which is applied either with air sjiray or brush the theory of the application is that the solution will penetrate the pores of the stone and that thereafter the solvent will evaporate leaving the wax behind to form a more or less effective seal against moisture and incidentally against the harmful action of frost those opposing the useof a treatment argue that the frost action will destroy masonry far moret rapidly when the surface pores are sealed or partly sealed but permit water to enter either from the front or the back than when the poes are left open toiget at the truth ol the matter the united states bureau ot standards has recenly completed experiments with par allel series of stone specimens treating one set with a ten per cent solution of paraffin- in benzol and leaving the other untreated all specime w then watersoaked for fourteen days and thereafter repeatedly frozen and thawed until completely disintegrated the results showed that the preservative was etectffive in reducing j the stones rate of absorption and that the treated stones resisted frost much better than the un treated

it needs advertising it has been my kt to see lifes drama in a good many walks of life and i be lieve the man who fc most likely to be peevish is tbe school teacher i dont believe there is any otherwork that takes as much nervous energy from man or woman as does thenoble art of imparting knowledge to juvenile intelligence receptive or unreceptivea3 the case may be and the more conscientious the teacher the greater is the reaction and what a teacher most needs is a paragon for a wife and what about the farmer per sonally i believe the average farmer is less peevish than most other men not because he has less reason but because the outdoor life acts as a sedative as it were- but i would not suggest farmers wives trying any experiments par in stance it would lhardly be safe to make a habit of having dinner ten minutes late marital happiness has been jeopard ized time and again by unpunctuallty in meals that is untdl a farmers wife learns from experience that there is more than one way of killing a cat than by drowning it in cream i read a suggestion in the aforemen- tl bj- that t tvinnghf wag qiio my own invention that is always to have the table set as though the meal were just about ready it took me a year or two to make this discovery and at that time i felt quite sure i was a bud ding psychologist but now i know that strategy is part of the average womans stock in trade i found that dinner might be all ready to go on the table but if my spouse walked in and saw the- dishes were not on the table it was useless to argue that everything would be ready by the time he had washed no sir it never worked so now if i think dinner may be a little late the first thing i do is set the table even if it still further hinders the cooking of the meal and what happens- the same thing every time partner walks in there is no question as to whether dinner is ready he washes leisurely and goodtemperedly picks up the paper scans the headlines while a timely suggestion will
