A more elaborate present may become a "white elepbant," where an everyday uvecessity of this kind will prove its worth repeatedly. A useful gift for a busy mistress of a house- bold is that of a cretonne pocket, sus- pended from a folding wooden frame, after the manner of a camp stool The frame can always be procured easily and only requires sufficient cre- tonne of a dainty pattern to form the puciens of an eminently serviceable sewing kit. When not In use it can be folded np and placed in a eotoer, while It has a distinct advantage over the ordinary sewing bag, in that when the frame is extended the whole of the contents are visible at once. The cretonne should be gauged on to the frame, with a beading of about an inch extending above the rods, while inner pockets for the sewing addenda can be added to suit individual taste. I'be round or square wooden boxes in which crystallized fruits are bought can be trapsformed into things of beauty, with the help of a yard or so of cretonne. Very fine cretonune should be used, and this should be pasted on the box. . ™ -" An Extremely Useful Offering.

" INEXHAUSTIBLE FISHERIES, Canada's Herring Supply Seems Des. tined to Last Forever, The great curtain nets, as well as the vas off the North Atlantic coast, must be constructed of the very stoutest ma- terials or they would be (as they some- times are) inevitably smashed by the dead weight of the catch. if one need evidence of the im. numbers of these fish, he has to stroll upon the beach of one coast counties of New Bruns. wick after a heavy gale in the spawn- og-time. 'Then the eggs of the her. ring fall through the water and and aitach themselves in sticky clusters to rocks . and stone at the bottom. Each of these is about a quarter of an inch in size, protected by a sort of gelatinous shell. Sometimes these are thrown out by heavy gales and lie upon the shore, knee-deep. They are gathered up by farmers, who find them excellent manure Yet, despite the vast quantities of spawn thus destroyed by the gales, the shoals of herring are never, it is said, appreciably smaller. It has been calculated that one herring will pra duce about thirty thousand eggs each season . Thousands of barrels ofdature her- rings are taken every year; the lob ster fishery alone employs 40,000 bar- rels for bait; the cod fishery many times that number. Immense nam. bers also go to the making of herring wil. Only the best fish are barreled for sale. Then, too. on the Pacific coast, the fish are mumerous, even more so, some aver, than on the Atlantic shores. In one vear alone a Pacific. company shipped something like 180.000 gallons of herring oil and 200 barrels of choice herrings. All this represents many thousand barrels of herrings. The question has been asked: How do these armies of fish got their food? One distinguished naturalist has fig ured thay if one of a countless num. ber of varying minute organisins was allowed perfect development, without any counteracting destruction for one month, the product would be a mass of protoplasm many times larger than the sun. Ome tiny plant multiplies breaking in two about five times a day, and becomes mature in three hours. The fish js provided with an auto. matic straining apparatus of the ut- most fineness. The result is that as this fish bréathes the water through ite gills it unconsciously sifts out its daily food. - Thi mder. then, is not teen fi wet s living, be astonishiog multiplicity of marine life can possibly be kept under, even by the inbumerable fish that throng the ocean. uf the its The Worth of a Man. Chairman A. W. Smithers Grand Trunk, made an unique interesting statement the other day. He was talking about the late Mr Charles M.- Hays, and he remarked that, in his estimate, the former gen. ial president of the G.T.R. had during his term of office added $100,000,000 of the to the value of the property of the | road. One hundred millions! Think of it. In a few odd years one man had been worth that much to his employ. ers. Capitalists de not as a rule esti- mate in cash the value of an employe to their business. If they did, some of 1s would be drawing bigger salaries j and others would suffer a severe cut. A rabid Socialist might suggest that a man like Mr. Hays, who drew a $75,000 salary, never earned it. Per. haps, after all, there is something in the Socialistic contention that mone- tary rewards are not paid in propor. tion to the productiveness of 3 oly In these days of 'social unrest' an artizan who adds $10 to his employer's wealth and gets a $2 wage has a plaint that he should share larger in his 'mployer's profit. But what of the ase of a man like Mr. gHays, at the top of the social scalé, adding one hundred millions to his employers' business by his services, and getting a paltry $75,000 a year for it'--Cana- dian Courier.

This land is not pure sand, but has some stretches of sand among lands of bet- ler quality; none of it, however, can be classed as good agricultural land. At the present time this tract carries, in places, a stand of spruce, as good a # as will be found any- where in the country.

Mow Two Macedonian Patriots Left For the War, It is a story of the Balkan war, and how it came to pass in a Canadian firm. Two Macedonians employed by an eastern manufacturing firm, had been hearing all about the uprising the Bulgarians and the Serbs. May had been able to read some head-lines in the newspapers. They had seen the pictures of the ter rible Turk and they knew him. And they got their heads together in a spirited confab. Oh, the talks they had as they went home from the fac- tory ! when none of the other employes knew what they were saying, but only, 'Oh, I guess it's the war that's got them. They're patriots. Wonder what they'll do?" No amount of quizaing could elicit from the Macedonian cronies in a strange land what they intended do- ing. Once in a while if they dropped into a shoe-shine shop they may Fave been understood. Day by day they became more and more excited. They nibbled their dry lunches at noon and jabbered furiousiy. By-and-bye they became very quiet Now and then as they passed the of- fice they paused to glance at the gen- eral manager. Bui when he looked at them they shuffled away--and said maybe they would think it over a day or two longer. . For they were getting pretty good wages, these two Macedonian laborers, and in a peaceful, industrious land where they had come to forget the Turk apd the tyranny and the ever. lasting fear--why should the uprising of Bulgaria and Bervia and Montene- gro and Greece, be to them more than a thing to read about just like all other folks in Canada? Yet they knew more about the Balkans than they did about Canada. The old passion was smouldering. Seon there would be a flame. - , said one to the other--some.- times folks couldn't tel! them apart-- "Fl go back if you will." There was a cry from Macedonia. They heard 1. They said--they would go back, to help the allies in the war. And together they went to the man. ager to ask if he would he good en. ough to let them go; and if they were not killed, maybe he would take them back to work when they came home to Canada again. "Why, sure! Go ahead if you really want to," said manager. "I guess you've got it all thought out. You've | ob no wives and families. Don't let me stop you." So they got their pay envelopes and they went out to spend some money. They hadn't much to blow in, when the price of two tickets and outfits had to be considered. Next morning they came down to the factory; but not to work. Each was dressed in his Sunday togs. Each his back. Each had 8) "Come to say good-bye, have you?" said the manager, - / But first each began to undo his par- { cel. With great gravity each took out the contents.

The monthly reports of Miss Julia Btewart, the National Sanitarium As- sociation's nurse who visits poor pa . tients in Toronto at their homes, often contain instructive little incidents ° showing the difficulty of the condi- tions to be contended with. The two paragraphs here given offer a striking contrast in unselfishness and eelfish. ness : "Mrs. L., who has been assisted by the Samaritan Club, an organiza tion of ladies who work among the consumptive poor of Toronto, in pay- ing her rent, has been doing without a stove, doing all her work with gas ring. It is now too cold for the children to be without a fire, so that she has been looking for a second hand stove. A satisfactory one was found, but she only had $5 toward the price, $15. The Samaritan Club contributed $5, and she is to have time to pay the balance. I shall be able to get coal for her from the House of Industry." "Mrs. B. is a patient who has been for six weeks in Muskoka Free Hos pital for Consumptives. She was do- ng well, but her husband, who said he could not pay Wer railway fare up there, went up to see her, and later sent for her to come home, as he was not getling comfortable meals while she was away."
