"I will get it for you in a Jiffy," said Frank cheerfully. "I will harness Dandy and go right away." You remember Dandy, Frank's trick pony, don't you, and how he used to amuse the children?" Dandy hadn't been out for several days and was feeling full of life so that he pranced along lifting his feet high and tossing his head in high spirits. As they drew near the village Dandy thought he would try to show off and he began to rear up on his hind legs. Frank was used to his doing this, but this time he had promised his grandmother he would be quick about the errand and didn't want Dandy to take up the time in show. ing off his tricks. Of course Dandy didn't know any- thing about this, so when Frank spoke to him he paid no attention village and get her some wool so she © _ Dandy and his tricks. but kept right on dancing and prane- ing on his hind legs. Again Frank said: "Go' on, ge on," louder than ever but Dandy paid no attention but began to waltz. Just then a man came along and when he saw the pony acting that way he thought: something was wrong and ran to the blacksmith and told him a-hoy was in trouble with a pony down the street, The black- smith came out and when he saw Frank and Dandy he turned. and laughed at she man who was so frightened and told him all about Dandy seem- ed to know they were talking about him and began to waltz around fast- er than ever. I am sorry to say too, that when Frank saw a strangér looking a' Dandy he was so proud that he for- got all about the errand and let Dandy take all the time he wanted and even put him through a let of other tricks for the man's amuse- 'ment. a A A "Low Cost of Living" Menu | Menu for Friday BREAKFAST Bananas Rrofled Smoked Herring Muffins Coffee LUNCHEON Rehented Soup Serambled Fgas Totst Jelly Ten DINNER Baked Finngn Haddie Potato Souffle Egg Plant Pepper and Cabbage Salad Belled Rice, Whipped Cream BREAKFAST Broiled Herring--Soak overnight' in cold water.

He states that an excess of hydro- chlorie acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta- tion, then our meals sour like gar- bage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lompy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn; flatulence, water-brash, or nausea. .

Brampton, Feb. 24.---This is poll- ing day in Peel, and after the most strenuous bye-election seen in Onta- rio for several years the result is still uncertain. The Conseravtive ma- jority of 627 is a difficult one to over- come, but undoubtedly it will be very largely decreased, with the poseibil- ity of its being wiped out. This much is certain: If" Mr. is defeafed, as independent public opinion throughout the whole pro- vineé thinks he should be, it will not be thanks to the Hearst Government. It. is true that no Cabinet Ministers have actually entered the riding..The Government evidently has been try- ing to sit on the fence, but the side on which they were sitting was un- questionably the Fallis side, as is shown by the above summary. If Fallis is elected, and if public life in Canada, even according to the opinions of many Conservative news- papers, is thereby lowered, the re- sponsibility will lie with the Ontario Government, for it is obvious that if Mr. Hearst or the Cabinet had oppos- ed Fallis or had lifted their finger against his election, he could not pos- ibly have been elected. Win or lose, therefore, it looks as if the Government is coming out of the-Peel contest badly. Fallis WANTS $5,000 FOR HAIR.

There is no scientific evidence to show that late youth and middle age are the periods of commencing deorep- itude and "gid age," Man grows oid because be i$ injured; because his body cells are poisoned, and not because he has lived just so many years. There is 10 relentless law determining when a man shall grow old. The tradition "three score years and ten" is condi tioned mainly on the manner of living and not by any natura) law. But man bas it in his power to modify these conditions either for or worse. Probably a greater luxury of living which is not balanced by proper phys ical exercises is a primary condition to be reckoned with. But temperance all along the line--in eating, drinking, working, playing and ven in resting-- has been suggested as a wiser prin- ciple to hold te. This avolds the pos- sibility of rusting out on the one band or of wearing out on the other. Yet there is another way and a more worthy reason for retaining youth and deferring old age--cultivate health for the love and pleasure of it. The monthly letter of the Life Exténsion institute says of this suggestion: "It is not a fear of illness or of death that we should encourage, but a love of health, a sense of responsibility for the care of our bodles, a desire for bodily en- durance and efficiency and full achiéve- ment. If the mind is fised on these ideals and the already known means of approaching them are utilized, heart disease. kidney trouble and the need- léss miseries that embitter the lives of 80 many may be left to take care of themselves. It Is not so much neces- sary to fight disease as to cultivate health for the happiness, contentment and moral gain toat it brings." AGE OF THE EARTH. Different Systems of Computing It and Their Varying Figures. As long ago as ¥860 John Phillips, the geologist, estimated that the time required for the deposition of the stratified rocks lay between 38,000,000 and 96,000,000 years. This was prob- ably the only estimate prior to Kel vin's epoch making paper of 1862 Since that time many estimates have been made, varying all the way from 17,000,000 years to 400,000,000 years. Kelvin was the first to discuss the age of the earth considered as a cool ing body. In 1803 Clarence King in- troduced the important criterion of tidal stability and reached the conclu- sion that 24,000,000 represented the conditions, This result was adopted by Kelvin In 1897, and then he placed the limits as 20,000,000 -and 40,000,000 years. Only Sir George Darwin bas discuss- ed the age of the earth from a purely astronomical point of view. From his theory of the earth moon system he 000,000 years, which for a lon; ne stood between groups of higher and lower figures. J. Joley was the first to base estimates of the age of the earth in 1899 on the sodium contained in the ocean. Adopting the hypothesis that the sodium content of the ocean is de- rived at a constant rate from that of the rocks; he arrived at an ege of 80, 000,000 0r*90,000,000 years and increas- ed this by 10,000,000 in 1900. In 1909 Mr. Sollas made a searching inquiry into this subject and placed the age of the ocean at between 80,000,000 and 150,000,000 years. The Sense of Taste. Scientists say that the flavor of food and drink does not come to us through the sense of taste. The latter can only furnish sensations corresponding to the chemical composition of substances taken into the mouth. Although al- most infinite in their variations, these sensations are few in number, compris- Ing sweetness, bitterness, saltiness and sourness, with their numerous degrees of intensity. Phe distinctive flavors of food do not come from chemical action and are therefore not perceived by the sense of taste, but by the olfactory nerve by which the sensation {is transmitted to the brain. This explains why one's food does not taste "right" when he is 8 suffering from a cold. Two of a Kind. A lady selected some purchases in a store, asking that they be kept for her until tile next day.

"Ot the many privileges conferred om the nobles of Europe by the feudal system none was more jealously guard. ed or madre frequently exercised than the right of waging private war" writes Dr. MacMillan in the Scottish Review. "This lawless custom' was the cause of untold misery, barbarity, ruin and destitution. Upon the slight~ est pretext--often indeed with no ex cuse at all--the feudal baron would sally forth from his stronghold in or der to carry fire and sword into'the territories. of some neighboring chief. * "This abuse,' says Cox in his "His tory of the House of Austria". 'was carried to so great an extent that not only sovereigns aud states engaged in hostilities .from interest or revenge, but the lesser barons, and even associ ations of tradesmen and domestics, sent defiances to each other on the most ridiculous pretenses and in a manner scarcely credible at the pres. ent day. " 'We find a declaration of war from a private individual, Henry Mayen. berg, against the emperor; unother from the Lord Prauvenstein against Frankfort, 'because a young lady of the city refused to dance with hb un- cle; another in 1450 from the baker d domestics of the margrave of Ba- len against Eslingen, Reutlingen, and other imperial cities; another in 1462 from the baker of the Count I'alatine Louis against the cities of Augsburg, Ulm and Rothwell; one in 1471 from the shoeblacks of the University of Leip zig against the provost and some other members, and one in 1477 from a cook of Eppenstein, with his scullions, dairymatds and dishwashers hgainst Otho, count of Solms.' "But this lawless and mischievous spirit did not expire with the abolition of the right of private war." THE PROTECTING FOREST. Important Part Trees Play In Prevent. ing Serious Floods. It has been shown that forests pre- vent the rapid melting of ice and snow and thus avert or modify floods in the spring. Mountains also play an impor- tant part with regard to floods. tercepting drifting currents of moisture laden air mountains are active agents in precipitating 'rainfall, and nuless they are protected by forests the wa- ters pour down into the valley in de- structive torrents. The evergreen trees, particularly the spruces, are es- pecially useful in controlling these tor- rents.' Under all spruce forests there is a large deposit of what woedsmen call "duff." This is composed of partiaily decayed trees, bark, needles, cones and mosses. This duff varies from one to six feet in thickness and has the power of ab- sorbing and holding water' like a sponge. During the heuvy spring rains it becomes thoroughly saturated with water, which gradually oozes down the mountain sides into the streams in summer. The trees also protect the snowfall from the rapid action of the sun in spring. thus restrainiug floods from that source also. The protection of the forests there fore is the surest and safest way in which tg prevent destructive Inunda- tions. They are really yatural stornge reservoirs, not holding back great masses of water in bulk, released by the breaking of some dam and carry terrible destruction before them, but storing it in the capillaries of the spongy sail and yielding it gen- tly and continuously during the season when most needed.-- London Standard, Cutting Down Expenses. It is expensiye 'enough to put on a play and get the true artistic effects without wasting money on unneces- sary detail. As an example of this, a manager tells the following incident: A playwright was reading a comedy to the manager when be came to these lines: "Have a cigar." "Thanks; 1 don't mind if 1 do." "Wait," said the manager. "If I'm going to produce that pldy that second line will have to read, 'No. thanks; I don't smoke." That change will save a good deal of money every season, for an actor miust smoke good cigars when it is necessary to smoke at all." Testing the Piano.
