Man has been acquainted with his fellow-animals so long that he takes them ag a matter of course. Yet everybody tacitly admits their great] influence upon human character, To wit the sayings: He's as sly as a fox. He works like a horse. He eats like a pig. Look out for that snake in grass. I'm as hungry as a bear, She's a cat. Allenists say that the majority of insane persons have a strong "anmi- mal complex." Many of them !ma- gine themselves turn2d taro animals. What they believe, insane, is just a distortion of thelr sane thouglts. It is a good plan to analyze one's mental makeup once in a while. And an [nferesting way of doing it is to compare oneself with the animals. Walt Whitman began a famous poem with the statement: "I think I could 80 and live with the animals." They are closer to us than we think. Are you indeed as faithful as a dog, or as brave as a lion? Sort out your good and bad qualities. Animals can teach you much. the TOO MUCH "THRILL." In a western city a woman--a wife and mother--is under arrest because she stole dresses from a department store, not because her circumstances influenced her to do so, but because she wanted the "thrill of it." Down in Maine a fine young boy was caught while driving a bootleg- gers' automobile. No, he wasn't a member of the gang. He cared no- thing about liquor and did not drink himself, or sell drink to others. He liked 'the thrill" of being chased by the prohibition officers and just "stepping on 'er." " In a little town in the west a boy of fourteen is in the hands of the constable because he has been scat- tering tacks and screws along a much-travelled highway adjacent to town, much to the damage of auto- mobile tires and otherwise compara- tively good dispositions. He had no feeling of ill-will against machine or driver--just liked to hear the hiss and pop of air-filled tires and the vocal outbursts of outraged mo- torists. He liked "the thrill" of it. A young man in New York has just been caught by the police after a long quest. - He had set fire to some twenty odd empty houses. He was possessed by an irresistible de- sire t0 hear the clatter of fire ap- paratus, the shouts and screams of men and women and to see the rush of crowds and the roll of the ominous smoke. He liked "the thrill" of it, The "thrill" business seems to be on the increase, but, even at that, it stands out distinctively and repul- sively because it is exceptional. Re- action from it will come in due time, as always is the case, and law and good order will prevail. As a matter of fact, people everywhere, in a vast majority, are now going abot their usual affairs soberly and sedately, and their influence for even and level living cannot be neutralized by tan- gents in crime or otherwise, Com- mon decency never will be and never has been out of fashion. NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT. Glaneing back to the commence- ment of the present century and sur- veying Northern Ontario as it was then, industrially, agriculturally and in density of population, one ean hardly appreciate the advancement that has taken place. Only those who constantly have their hand on what might be termed the provineial pulse can realize the great growth of Northern Ontario's many gut. standing natural resources, says the Natufal Resources Intelligence Ser- vice of the Department of the Iste- rior. In 1900 Northern Ontario was but a portion of the map. The pro- vince's boundary reached only to the Albany river, which latter, so far as the average citizen of the pro- vince was concerned, was in the wilderness. In 1912 the boundary Was extended to Fort Nelsoll on the Hudson Bay and many thousands of Square miles of territory were added to the province. North Bay.in 1900 lay on the margin of settlement, while today settlers are raising crops along the Canadian National railway, 260 miles further north, and the T. & N.O. railway has pushed its line 58 miles beyond to open up the country. In Northern Ontario are some of our largest pulp and paper mills, using water powers which had for ages remained unharnessed await ing the coming of the engineer for their development. What was in 1900 comsidered an almost impene- trable forest is now supplying the pulpwood which keeps the large mills of that portion of Ontario busy, as well as providing enormous quan- tities of freight trafic to the rail ways that have followed industry. It was not until 1904 that the Co- balt silver camp was discovered, fol. lowing the construction of the Timis- kaming and Northern Ontario rail- Way from North Bay to Lake Timis kaming. This discovery brought ia prospectors «and mining men with a rush, and s00n a number of towns and villages wére established. Since its discovery in Northern Ontario 343,895,780 ounces of silver have been produced, valued at $212,668, | nL : 434. Prospecting in the district did not stop .with the discovery of sil- ver, however. Boon the wider field towards Cochrane, on the Transcon- tinental railway, was being intensely prospected, leading to the discovery of the Porcupine and Kirkland Lakes goldbearing areas. From 1909 to last December gold to the value of $128,383,395 has been taken out, or a total for these two metals of $341,061,829 from what was un- known territory at the commence- ment of the century, This widespread development in Northern Ontario is but an indica- tion of that to come. But a small portion has yet been surveyed, while much less has been closely prospected. The enormous amount of water-power already developed and awaiting its application will eventually induce industries requir- Ing cheap power to enter the district, and these industries will attract la- bor, which in turn will provide markets for a large farming interest. Northern Ontario, with its great and varied natural resources is making such rapid advances as will in a comparatively short time demand the attention of older Ontario and of Canada ag a whole. LIFE'S MANY SIDES, Three clowns have been awarded academic palms by the French gov- ernment in recognition of their ser- vices to the public is spreading good cheer. It looks like a "throw-back" to the days of the paid court jester, and still the award has a tremen- dous appeal to the present genera- tion. It may seem odd at first thought to regard a buffoon as wor- thy of rank with savants, and yet if the services of both to the good of the world are measured, the oddity is not so perceptible after all. Life is not easy to appraise. It the accumulation of material posses- slon were the sole test of a success- ful life, the classification would be easy. Conventionally that is the way success is oft determined, but it is an unreliable, unsatisfactory method, and it begins to appear as though more and more persons are recog- nizing the futility of measuring a man's services in terms of dollars. There are so many angies to life that deliberate judgment of a life's value is made cautiously and hesitat- ingly. Here are three French clowns, recognized by their government for making the public smile, keeping it good-hamored. ~ Will any person deny that such is not a useful ser- vice? Many persons complain about the "funnies" in the newspaper. They do not appeal to all folks, but will anyone dispute that they do not bring sunshine to many a weary soul? It would be an impossible world it every inhabitant followed the same trade, llked the same colors, ate the same food, possessed the same viewpoint. There must be va- riety to make earthly existence tol- erable, One's job is to make people think; another to give them relief from thinking, at least thinking along one line. The clown does this. He provides levity for seriousness, light for gloom, merriment for mel ancholy. And if he does it well, why shouldn't he have the demic A scientist stated recently that man would be wiped off the earth by insects. That they would increase in numbers to such an extent that he would not be able to cope with them. That insects, some of them 80 small that powerful microscopes are necessary to reveal them, inaabit al- most every form of life, is of course well known. But gradually diseases of animals and plants are being clearad from the earth, and man will likely al- ways be master, The number of insects you have in you all the time is enormous. Tre insects that are found in pneumonia, grippe, diphtheria, are in mauy peéo- ple all the time, but such is taeir re- sisting power to them, that ouly a few are attacked by these ailments. Further, physicians have a lot to learn yet about these parasites, as they are called, as many of them are thought to be harmless, or even of help to the different processes of the body. Three youngsters will be exposed to scarlet fever, by playing wath tha youngster who has broken quaran- tine, or who is a "carrier." Ona of these youngsters has a light attack of scarlet fever, another a severe at- tack, while the third escapes it ajto- gether, Why these differences in the way these youngstefs handle the trouble? Research men have found that nor mal fresh blood will destroy these little parasites, If the blood is kept for fone time this power grows less. What does this mean? That the power to resist o: make these little insects harmlass, rests with the little bodies called corpus- cles of the blood. Years ago it was thowght that the white corpuscles simply Xillei the insects or germs. Now it is believed that they do not kill them but render them harmless to the body. Very recently a research worker of standing, gave it as™his opinion, that the white corpuscles manufac- tured a gas which rendered the germs powerless to act. You gee these little germs or ani- mals are not only poisonous tf them- selves, but manufacture poisons, that have ta be rendered harm:ie:s to the body, by the blood. What is the point? 'Well, "your blood and tissue may be able to take care of these insects better, or not as well as the blood and tissues of other people. Why some people are stricken and others not, cannot always be explain- ed. some of these ailments one attack prevents any further attack in your body. With other ailments this is not true. What can you do about it? Simply keep your blood in good fighting trim by good food, fresh air and outdoor exercise. You can't do anything more than that, Why do less? el eies-- palms? ------ KINGSTON IN 1852 Viewed Through Our Files OICOLARI'S, May 1.--Of Kingston saloons, Mr. Cicolari's is the. best and stands highest in public opinion.
