Most people who have nothing to do make the mistake of doing it. Home is just a place where you know whose hands have been in th: dough. Money isn't everything. The man with the most costly fishing tackle catches the least fish. If a woman has intuition, why does she need three friends to help her decide on a hat? The daily dozen is almost essential | to the sedentary man who hasn't al playful straw hat. When a cheque comes back mark- ed "No account" it is talking about the man who wrote it. The fellow who has been hating to carry out the ashes has startea hating to cut the weeds. It is now possible to send light around a corner, but just as hara to get it through a square head. The length of life has been in- creased, but otherwise the old world is about as pleasant as ever, As a matter of simple truth, the average outsider's objection to re- ligion is that it cramps his style.

Any good reporter can remain in the office and write up an auto ac- cident, except that he can't give the exact number of quarts. 2 Another funny sight is a father striving to store up wealth in order: to deprive his children of the chance for the character-building struggle which he himself enjoyed. An author says that every man should "Once a day say to a wo- man, 'How beautiful you are!' And frevven's sake, try to keep a straight face while you're saying it.

That ancient proverb, "Virtue ix its own reward," he gives to us 'n this new dress: "To take a pleasure in virtue is the reward of having heen virtuous." It is impossible to conceive of a human being so degraded as to take no pleasure in doing good. Since it has been brought to our aitention | we comeé to the realization that the acts we seek to account for are the acts of cruelty, dishonesty ard im- morality. Virtues and 'acts of good- | ness seem natural to us. We can not explain iniquity, and every wick- od act appears unnatural, if not ac- cidental. In connection with virtue Rous- seau has suggested that "every one | contributes to the public good for his own interest, but that the virtuous | man does not contribute to the pub- lic good io his own prejudice." might have added that it is not ne- cessary to sacrifice self to serve others. Could not all laws be from the statute books, and navies disbanded, all police courts abolished and all the world live in peace and prosperity if all observed the Golden Rule to doing to others as we would wish them to " do to us? i THE PRICE YOU PAY. No matter what we get in life, we pay for it. Nature never gives Whenever we acquire anything we lose an equi- valent something. Take the family that was poor un- | war came and made them rich. Their wealth has brought wonderful things into their lives. But they have lost things that can- not be measured in doltars--includ- til the ing association with intimate friends | the joys of | of the old days, and simple pleasures. Maybe they are happier than they were back in the days when a dollar looked as big as a waggon wheel. If so, they are being rewarded for en- during past misery. The law of compensation--cause and effect--always balances the scales in the long run. The weights that balance the scales are not al- ways visible to outsiders. But it takes a lot of ill-gotten gains to compensate for remorse, shame, or an uneasy conscience. Possibly shame, even conscience, is lacking in some hearts during life. But no one knows what thoughts and feelings are at the instant of death. Nor the price that is collect- ad beyond the grave from people who dodge payment in this life. Most of the discomforts and re- puted loneliness of bachelor life vanish when we marry. But we soon find that we have acquired new bur- dens and worries. Observe the mother, slave to her baby. She is paying for the maternal joy that has come into her life, Ponder the man who flees from the congestion, stenches and irrita- tion of the city. In the wilderness or on a farm he has freedom, elbow- room, fresh air, peace. And he pays the price by not having the conve- niences and excitement of the big city. . Even knowledge has its price--in- tense study and surrender of time that might be spent in leisure, We pay in full. When we get a thing we lose its equivalent. At the end of the road, old and successful, | we look back and would trade it all for youth, Never, Something for nothing? TOOK BEFORE LEAPING. While Sir Adam Beck may have high hopes of securing power supply for Eastern Ontario from the St. Lawrence, it is safe to say that there will be no big power development on the St. Lawrence for at least ten years. Therefore, in the meantime Eastern Ontario must be supplied from the falls on the Ottawa river where an abundant power can he It is idle to place hopes on early development at Morrisburg. There can be no power development on the mighty river which divides New York state from Cadada unt both the governments of Washington and Ottawa take action. Eastern Ontario must therefore, press to have the Ottawa falls developed in order to overcome the present power short- age and provide for manufacturing expansion, With regard to Kingston giving up its agreement with the Hydro- Electric Commission for power sup- ply and becoming a partner like other municipalities, this city must first be satisfied that the change will be to its benefit. Certainly it would not be beneficial to Kingston to be- come a Hydro partner of the Central Ontario system, as the Trent source is already overburdemed. If King- ston is to pass up its present excel- lent agreement for supply it must be as a partner in the Ottawa river sup- ply. Kingston has "too good a thing" just mow to let it go. This does not mean that some day it will not be better for Kingston to become a direct partner in the great Hydro development enterprise, but it should not yield its present position uatil it Psalm 36:7, 8, is sure of a supply ent for its | tivity.

The Austrian violinist implores the in-| | ventor and the public to make im- possible the employment in war of any such fiendish instrument of de- struction as the 'death ray." Doubly significant is the appeal of Kreisler because of his Austrian na-| Germany and her 'Austrian | ally have been blamed for the worfd war. The conversion of Austria to! peace would be a notable advance to- ward perpetual world peace and | ! from his people. Much mystery still surrounds the | formula for the '"'death ray," and as | yet the world has been offered no proof of the powers claimed for it. { On the other hand, in fact, recent de- | spatches.claim that its powers are | much over-rated. Whether this de- | moniac ray will strike death to all | who come within its light is not as | vitally important to humanity as its | application. The discovery and the | ! discoverer will be acclaimed as boons | | to civilization if the ray is employed | | in easing the burden of mankind, but | civilization should never forgive the | | inventor of the "death ray" if it is| found that he sold his formula to | those bent on human destruction. | A ray with the supernatural powers claimed for the "death ray" | | would be of inestimable value in| | agric lture for the extermination of | and for other air fumigation | Scientific research shouid | inse pu S. | no etarded by the threat of war. | Humanity can prevent war just as it | can prevent the production of a "death ray," if it so saw fit.

The two boys, Leopald and Loeb, rich men's sons held in Chicago on a charge of atrocious murder, spent their adolescent days reading and discussing the dirt of life. They read and discussed the same things--things bearing on degener- ate sex impulses and the like--that your boy or your girl, perhaps, are | discussing now; certainly the same | things that your neighbor's boy and | girl are discussing now, in school and oollege. - And you can't touch dirt without getting soiled. It is an old truism that is forgot- ten by a lot of people, nowadays. Soft mothers and fool fathers let their sons and daughters read Freud- | jan literature, trash about the] uglier phases of sex, and say: | "Our children are so much more advanced than we were." It is a cold fact that truck of that sort is under constant discussion be- tween young men and young women in their later "teens and earliest twenties, in nearly every "intellec- tual" circle in the land.' One of the first signs of it is a sort of weariness of outlook; a dis- illusioned attitude that is a wretched thing among the young. They are children, after all. They are in search of the thrills of life, as the young of every species are. But when the thrills that come with the discovery of new and hor- rible facts have vanished, there still remains the desire for new thrills. Leopold and Loeb [found the new thrill. They found it, they say, in murder, Just boys. Boys from good homes. They had touched dirt, as thousands of others of our young are touching it, and they were stain- ed--blood red. PRESS COMMENT Man's Debt to Posterity. AN who resolutely think matters out will agree that the key to true ple that the statesman is to not 'the greatest happiness greatest number,' but "the happiness of the greatest enduring through an 1 prolonged future." For this new principle (which is in fact as old as the Greeks) brings into life the eter- nal and abiding. When it ia recog- nized, the sacrifices of the dead for their country are not meaningless (as they would be if onjy "the great- cst happiness of the greatest num- ber" were sought), bfit are seen to be acts of a great love which trans- cends life and raises it to the high- est plane.--London Daily Mail, Capital Punishment. There is nothing vindictive and nothing cruel in capital punishment. It has two useful purposes--it is a deterrent from murder and equally horrible crimes, and it forever puts out of the way an enemy of society. It is little to the purpose to say that imprisonment for life without the benefit of remission of sentence for good conduct will achieve the de- sired end. Parliament in the future may do as it likes; and a Labor Par- liament would not hesitate to remit sentences. Besides, even fear of perpetual imprisonment has not the | hanging; and men of the most dan- | ment, of ten days and upwards. The | good tonic of some kind, rich food, | add Fe gerous character--as we know in Victoria--are somet < able to break jail, and in t riod of their liberty commit murder.--The Aus- tralian.

Barton, M.D, An Interesting Experiment, An intensely interesting experi- ment was made recently. A chap was given some prolonged exercise and it was found that the number. of blood cells decreased in number, | and in richness, but new cells manu- factured in the bone marrow increas- ed in number. . Nature always has an extra supply of blood cells in the bone marrow, and throws them into the blood when there is an extra call for them, due to destruction of the regular cells by exercise. Nature always just a little ahead of our needs as usual. Now this was the interesting thing. If fresh pure blood was put into him after exercise, the number of cells from the bone marrow was not increased. Nature was content to sit by, and let this fresh blood given | to the chap take the place of the cells she would have sent into the blood, had he not received this outside sup- ply. A further interesting thing was | noted, | Before the chap took any exercise | whatever some fresh pure blood was | put into his veins. What happened? Again Nature refused to manu- facture cells because it saw that the extra blood had so enriched the blood stream that it didn't need Na- ture's help in the way of extra cells, to do the amoufit of exercise pre- | scribed. In other words the only | way you can get Nature's blood mak- | ing factory to work making cells for you, is by taking exercise. Think of | that. Now if you are sick, are run down and unable to take erercise, your dootor's idea of giving you irom, a is a semsible ome, because these | things take the place of the blood making machinery for the time be- ing. i But there's just one point for you to remember, This tonic business is all right for an emergency to tide you over. But you can readily see that if you rely on tonics and food alone, your blood making machinery gets so used to this outside supply that it might be- come sluggish in its actions. But if you decide to take exercise regularly, and go at it every day for, the blood making department and it gets busy manufacturing blood cells for you in increased amounts. That is why a boxer, wrestler, oarsman or footballer attains real condition in a few weeks. For instance a man like Dempsey or Carpentier should get into excel- lent condition in from four to six weeks. They have educated the blood making mechinery to be look- ing for an increased call upon its efforts every day. You can't wonder then if I sug- gest from time to time that you try to get at least five minutes exercise aday. That will prevent your blood making machinery from getting slug- gish and inactive. -------- Forbear to distribute among al! same deterrent effect as the fear of I en---- even five minutes, it serves notice on | SUMMER UNDERWEAR SPECIAL 31.25 PER SUIT BIBBY'S Headquarters for SUMMER UNDERWEAR SPECIAL $1.25 PER SUIT Trunks, Club Bags, Suit Cases, Wardrobe Trunks, etc. For Sale We have some attractive bar- gains in city property.

Common Evidences of Air Pressure. Although we live at the bottom of a sea of alr, subject to a pressure of about 15 1bs. on every square inch of our surface, we are generally -yn- aware of this considerable pressure | because it is exerted in all directions. The pressure of air above an object is balanced by the pressure of air below; similarly outside pressures are balanced by the pressure of air inside. Dr. 8. S. Visher of Indiana University has pointed out in dis- cussing common evidences of atmos- pheric pressure that most such evid- ences are due to local differences in pressure. The rate of evaporation and the temperature at which water boils, however, are affected by gen- eral pressure changes. Many evidences of local pressure difference may be cited. All wind is a motion of air due to differences in pressure. Pressure allows the fly to | walk on the ceiling, holding on by the suction cups on its feet. Decrease in pressure inside a hot fruit jar as it cools causes the lid to be held down tightly by the air above. Con- versely, in a warm room the high pressure inside a jar of lce-water will sometimes raise the cover slight- ly allowing some of the cold dense air within to push otit.

The beautiful Notre Dame Cathe- dral of Montreal, probably the most famous church on the continent, was dedicated on this day in 1824, though {it was not opened for wor- ship for five years afterwards. Its stately Gothic architectre has no superior in America, and, old as it is, it was merely the successor of another church, which was built on land just to the front of the present church, in the seventeenth century. The present church is 225 feet long and 134 feet wide, with twin towers reminiscent of Notre Dame of Paris. It was by far the largest church of its day in America, acccommodating ten thousand people. A great bell, called the Gros Bourbon, hung 'in | one of the towers in 1847, weighs 29,400 pounds, a resonant voice, calling the people of the city to de- votional exercises. There ie also a fine set of chimes in the other tower.
