EWE CENTS IN Mone Y! wee / ANTIQUE ' ! Wooden Money. | Who ever heard of wooden money? The only known currency of this kind is issued by the Hudson Bay Co. and circulates all over the vast ter- coniroiled by that powerful trading 'concern. It is a coinage consisting of pieces of wood known as "castors," which are stamped with a die. These are accepted everywhere in that territory as cash, and are exchangeable for all | sorts of supplies and commodities at the widely scattered stations of the corporation, The area ritory governed by the com- | pany is vast In one straight line it extends far as from London to Mecca; fr Ki Posts the Pelly Ba 8 is further than from | Paris to Sarmacand. Over all of this region the corporation exercises 'a complete dominion, employ the na-| five Indians, chiefly _Ojibways and Crees, to collect the furs which fur- 118 revenue, son--Bay is about two-thirds e of the Gulf of Mexico.

With the latter they buy what supplies they | need at the store maintained by the | company at the station. Still Think of Us as Pioneers. { Pre-war ideas of Canada as a wild | colony appear to die hard in Eng- | land. For instance, a London writer | in a. famous daily says: "I have just noticed what I regard | as a' very interesting advertisement | in an imposing contemporary: Foote man required for Canada. Good site uation, ete., ete. Really I should not have been more astonished if I had | { read that a stockman was required | for Berkeley Square. Does it mean | that the threatened exodus of well- | to-do families from this country is already begun? Certainly nq every- { day pioneer wants to take a footman with him!" * Hot Weather, "Call this hot weather," to Canada. "Why, sald a I've seen | it so hot down south that the pop= | corn popped right on the stalks." exclaimed the host. "And! the juice of the cans | in the next field turned to molasses, "Whew!" | ran through the fence, mixed up with | the popcorn and formed the finest | | combination of popcorn.and molasses | that ever crossed your lips." Cells In Lungs.

"Halloa!" exclaimed a wit, points; ing to the horses, "Bryant's got his | match there." | "Yes, and Bryant himself sleans | | very striking on the box. | | Sign Posts. Profiting by war-time experience the French Ministry of Transport is replacing the familiar small metal direction signs by the large guide posts and notices which were found so useful in the battle zone. Some of theold battlefield signposts deserve preservation. There was the pathe- tic board on the Somme that an- nounced "Guillemont once stood here," the notice at Zillebeke Lake, "Don't waste bombs on fish---throw them at Fritz," and the board at Albert surmounting a heap of rubble and stating simply, "Cathedral."
