Sometimes the courage exhibited by the bold ones is so plainly allied with ignorance, that the need of caution is pathetically pathetically illustrated, as the following •stories prove. A brother and sister fired with an ambition to enter the profession of teaching left one of those Danu- bian states that remain to us the abodes of mystery to acquire certificates certificates and return for the enlightenment enlightenment of their own countrymen. The young woman began with a preparatory preparatory course as waitress in a hoarding hoarding house and the hoarding house keeper advanced her wages, which were given to the brother that he might enter an institution of learning. learning. She broke down under the strain of the work, fell sick and went to such a retreat as she could find. She had only a few dollars after deductions were made for the wages advanced and a few articles out of the family weaving that she had brought with her t-o selL She had been learning many things, in all probability, but they were not what she expected, and she is na- turaly somewhat discouraged. There has been a halt in her great expectations, which were founded on ignorance and the fairy tales in prospectuses of one kind or another, another, while the brother is living on the expectation of getting work to help him through. ài Ignorance it seems proper to shift the emphasis in the poet's line from the boldness to -the' caution. Much mysery would be prevented if there-were lees of the boldness that finally has to be helped out by those; who may have been deficient in that _admirable quality but who hâve been blessed with caution and : intelligence intelligence enough to enable them to take care of themselves and to lend a helping hand to others* Six Feet. A teacher was giving a lesson in mathematics and English combined. combined. "A fathom," she said, "is a nautical nautical word used in defining distance.- distance.- It means six feet. Now I want some little girl to give me a sentence using the word fathom." Instantly a hand shot up in the rear of the room. "Well, Mary, you may give yôur sentence." Mary stood up proudly. "The reason flies can walk, on the ceiling," said she, "is because they have a fathom."

This boldness is as sinking as anything opr boasted daring can show, but jthe spirit of patriotism calls for an.' example that: is gust as remarkable,' and fortunately it is available. It is described by a man who was engaged in one of our many promotion enterprises. The hero was a mechanic who had decided decided to return to the soil and signed a contract for the purchase of land. He did not strike out for the Danube, Danube, but he went a thousand miles from home t-o a region that was wholly unknown to him. He arrived arrived at the town nearest the land, called at the office of the promoters and wanted directions for reaching 'his new possessions. It then appeared appeared that his capital consisted of an intention to work out in the odd hours when he was not engaged up on the land bringing it under cultivation. cultivation. But he was told that the country was thinly populated and that there was no one in the vicin ity to give him work. So he was -compelled to fall back on an available available cash balance of 50 cents. That, it appeared, was all he had with him, and he had left $o to support his wife and five children until they should hear from him. He thought that would be enough until he be gan to realize on his intentions. Winter Session Opens Januarv 5ii: in all departments departments of the <; K.Vi RAJ.

Creelman, President O.A.C., Guelph. A ÿ rural education conference marks an epoch in public agricultural agricultural '• instruction on the North American continent. Making agriculture agriculture a popular study has been à steep "up-hill climb. Men compiled text-books and bulletins all to no purpose. The Agricultural College was instituted forty years ago, and at first students had t-o be paid t-o attend. The influence of the College College to-day is due to the efforts of Dr. Mills, the pioneer President, ! and to the pioneers of agriculture ; in Ontario. The settlers of this Pro- made it the law-abiding vince ! place it is where they farmed well and made the world hear of it. Owing to changed conditions people people have been driven to seek in- : struction in new methods of farming. farming. The introduction of new crops : corn, sugar beets, tobacco and new varieties of grain has disqualified disqualified the farmer for teaching his sons. So the assistance of the Ontario Agricultural College is sought as never before. In such a Province as Ontario, with good land, good water and a favorable climate, one would think the farm would be the most popular popular place to live ; and yet people are leaving farms in large numbers. The retired farmer is a great loss to a rural community, and he is not dignified out of his environment. If he remained in the district his influence influence and advice would be invaluable invaluable in accomplishing local improvements,^ improvements,^ CLÜBfclîflG LIST: To retain the boy on the farm the country home life must be made more attractive. The boys and girls should be taught and encouraged encouraged to play and to read, and trained trained in readiness to change to better methods. The Ontario Agricultural College lends its experience to teachers and all interested in rural betterment for this purpose. Teachers have a better opportunity opportunity to serve the people in a- new way than any other body of workers. workers. The new country life needs permanent teachers, willing to take part in all the social work of a community. They need faith in their own ability and faith in the possibilities of the community. They should dominate, but never domineer. BEATEN AT HIS OWN GAME.

A most distressing distressing characteristic of this debilitating debilitating disease, is the persistence with which recurring attacks come to sap away strength and leave the sufferer in a state of almost continual continual exhaustion. No wiser precaution precaution can be taken than that of keeping at hand a supply of Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Asthma Remedy, fapious as the most potent remedy for eradicating the disease from the tender air passages. Circumstantial Evidence, Here is a Chinese anecdote, from the "Hsioa-Lin-Kuang-Chi," or "Laughing Book," that would keep its humor, no matter into what language language it were translated. It loses none of its point* certainly, when turned into English. A man-who had been convicted of theft was put into the town stocks. A passer-by, observing his sad state, stopped and spoke to the man. " 1 "What did you do!" asked the passer-by. "Oh, nothing. -I just found an old piece of rope-on the road, and picked it up." "And is it possible that they have punished you in this way for simply picking up. an old piece of rope ?" "Yes-- ^nly it seems there was a cow at the end oV-Vh® rope."- Afriean Bushman's. Experience with a Lion. The little Bushman of South-'Af- rica is not only small in size, but to the European he appears feeble in mind. Yet there is the story of an encounter between a Bushman and a lion which shows a man cool in danger and fertile in resource. The Bushman, who was a long way from home, met a lion. The animal, sure that lie 0 had his victim completely in his power, began to sport with him with a feline playfulness playfulness that the little Bushman failed . to appreciate. The lion would appear at a point in the road, and leap back again into the jungle, jungle, to reappear a little farther on. The Bushman did not lose his presence presence of mind, and presently hit upon a way, to outwit his foe. Aware that the beast 'was ahead of him, the Bushman dodged into the jungle . to the right, and quietly awaited the next move. When the lion discovered that the man had suddenly disappeared from the path, he was perplexed. He roared. roared. Then he espied the Bushman peering at him over the grass. The Bushman at once changed his position, while the lion stood irresolute irresolute in the path, following with his "eye the moving black man. The little man rustled the reed, vanished, vanished, and appeared "at another point. The great brute was first- confused,, confused,, and then alarmed. It began to dawn on him that he was the hunted party. The Bushman did not let the lion collect his startled wits. He began t-o steal gradually toward the foe, who now, in a complete complete state of doubt and fear, turned turned tail, and ran ignominiously from the field. *• Calces, hot biscuit, hot breads, and other pastry, are dally necessities In the American family.
