' Twenty-two years ago he took out a twenty payment life poficy with the North American Life Assurance Company. That policy has now matured and he will never have to pay, another cent on it, sm. "What a wonderful thing to have had such a policy," he said to a representative of the Company, "I could not afford to pay premiums now, yet my family has full protection."

This repair bill of five million dollars each year could be very great- {ly reduced through the use of wood | preservatives. A white cedar post | costing twenty-five cents may last fif- teen years in the natural condition, but treated with creosote it will last thirty years. It should be good busi- ness to treat all posts, saving money, posts and labor. Waite Cedar Posts Soon Unobtain- White cedar posts will soon be un- abtainable. Other woods can be used; woods with a reputation for early de- cay, but which can' be made yery efficient by the creosote treatnfént. For instance, soft maple or willow Dosts will last but four years in the hatural condition; treat them with creosote and such will be serviceable for twenty years. It costs about (wenty- cents' per post for creosote treatment. If the post will last dou- ble or five times as long through be- lng creosoted, surely the twenty tent investment is"a profitable one. | Decay Caused by Fungi and Bacteria, Decay or rot caused by fung! and bacteria. Wood {tissue being largely cellulose | good food for bacteria and fungi, {and the moist, away from light, con- | dition just beneath the surface of the | soil is also suitable to their develop- ment. Hence we see the posts rotting | off just below the suiface of the soil | in which such are set. When a post | ts soaked with creosote it becomes 8 poison medinm to the fungi and {bacteria that may attack it; and their | growth is greatly retarded. Coal tar treosote is the most satisfactory pre- | servative that we can use on the | farms. The pests to be treated must be thoroughly seasoned and dry to absorb sufficient creosote, The prac- tice of spraying or brushing on hot creosote is not a very profitable one, as the wood does not absorb enough of the preservative to be of much use, How to Get Best Results, . To get good results, an open tank with fire place beneath, or other heat- ing arrangement, should be set up. | The coal tar creosote is heated in the | open tank, and then the posts are §00d soaking with the hot oll. A large oil drum with one end removed and se. over a fireplace makes a cheap and efficient tank, if nothing larger is at hand on the farm. The follow- ing points should be kept in mind by the man doing the work: (1) Have the posts clean, dry and free from bark. (2) Heat the creosote to 180° ¥., and maintain for 3 to 6 hours, se cording to condition of posts. (3) Immerse the posts in the creo- sote deep enough to give a treatment that will extend six inches above the ground line after posts are set in tence row. (4) Leave the posts in the hot oil long enough to permit them to coel WE SERVE GOOD MEALS "THE VICTORIA CAFE The British Whig Publishing Co.

In the Paudienu chamber of the Abdin Palace in Cairo a short time ago the Egyptian Calmib filed in and solemnly presented King Fuach with the draft of Egypt's new constitu- tion. No report has yet speculated on the feeling of the dapper, autocratic mon- arch as he signed a document which limits his aulhority and reserves for future discussipn the question whe- ther he shall be "King of Egypt" or " King of Egypt and the Sudan." Between these two titles lies all the difference in the world. The Sudan is a country entirely distitict from Egypt. Its people are mainly Arab and negroid. They pos- sess a hearty contempt for the Egyp- tion. The Sudan was conquered in 1896-8 by British and Egyptian forces, and is administered by an Anglo-Egyptian Pretectorate, The Governor-General is British and so are all the chief officials. Under British rule the Sudan has made amazing progress. The people are happy and devoted to their Brit- | ish/rulers. It has been stated that the British regime in the Sudan is "one of the brightest pages in the history of British rule over backward races." An Egyptian soldier or an official regards duty In the Sudan as some- think like a punishment. Why then does Egypt want this country so different from her in every | way? The answer is the Nile. Lord Rosebery said: 'The Nile is Egypt { and Egypt is the Nile." He was i merely echoing the words of Hero- { dotus: "Egypt was the gift of 'the | river." The Nile flows out of the { Sudan bringing life to Egypt, and it | is argued that the, country that con- trols the Sudan could ruin Egypt by interfering with her vital water sup- plies. The Sudan is now prosperous. That is another reason for Egyptian en- | |.thusiasm for it. ¢ Much will be heard of this dim- culty when Egypt's Parliament is ready to discuss affairs with Britain ----uunless" Egypt's politicians suddenly | realize two very obvious truths: That the unthinkable day when Egypt gained control of the virile Su- dan would be the most unlucky day in her history. That Great Britain's control of the Sudan is the best guarantee the Egyption agriculturist could possibly have that a fair share of the pre- clous Nile water will trickle through { his thirsty fields. Eton Collar Law. An indignant protest against what {he terms the "effeminacy of dress {which seems to pervade the old school" is made by an old Etonian In the current number of the Eton | College Chronicle, { ° The correspondent records that | during a recent visit to Eton he was "disgusted to observe a member of | sixth Form, that august body, ac-* tually wearing a turned-down (or Portland) collar. "In my time ('63-'69)," he wrath- fully adds, "a 'swell' as the term then was, would never have been seen without the full stuck-up collar Tolan with no opening In front at all" In the Eton glossary, which con- tains the authoritative doctrine on this and kindred weighty matters of use and custom, it is clearly lald down that the ten Collegers and ten Oppidans In ofith Form wear stick-up collars. At Eton it is stated that if the or- | fender were observed by any other eye he would certainly have' been disciplined by the members "of "Pop"~another and even more "ay- | gust body," which is all-powerful in matters of dress--who, among other things, enjoy 'the terrific privileges of being allowed to wear button- holes, patent leather boots and any kind of waistcoats they please, Saved by Insulin. I have just discovered the secret of Constance Collier's eternal youth. "Five months ago," she told me the other day, "my life was despatred of, and in January I wgighed only seven stone (98 pounds).

PAUL'S. | Tolls Only When Member of Royal House Dies. The great bell of St. Paul's is only tolled on the death of any member of | the royal family in the line of. de- | scent from any English sovereign. { The honor is paid only to a member of the royal family whe could under any conceivable circumstances suc | ceed to the throne; though it may | be doubted whether the bell would toll for a royal infant pot in the direct line of succession. This rule does not apply to the consort of the sovereign, of the heir apparent, or of a prince or princess on the steps of the throne. ¢ The booming of the great bell of St. Paul's was the first intimation which the citizens of London re- celved of the death of the Prince Consort, which occurred at 11 o'clock on the night of Saturday, Dee. 14, { 1861. Outside the royal family the { only persons for whom the bell is | tolled are the Archbishop of Canter- bury, the Bishop of London, the Dean | of St. Paul's and the Lord Mayor of i London dying in his year 'of office. | The bell tolled is net Great Paul, | but the old great bell oi which the | hours are gpruck. On the OcEurrence of a death in the royal family the Home Secretary at onceXgommuni- cates with the Lord Mayor, him to convey news to the St. Paul's, with a request that the great bell may be tolled. The bell is then toiled at intervals of a min ute for an hour. ¥ The Hunting Pig. The pig is geunzrally looked upon "7 all but the Jewss--as an article Ct diet.
