'Stonc, Too, There Forms Part of ‘ Articles Usually Made of Metal. In China seals are made of wood and stone, as well as of metal. They ‘are used, in addition to a signature, to represent an individual, a legal person or a corporation. The seals used by the former emperor were distinguished as privy and state seals, and were three inches square. China’s state seal is used chiefly upon documents relating to foreign countries, explains the Oriental Re- view, and has Chinese characters stamped on it. The privy seals are stamped on imperial rescripts, is- sued for proclamations at home. ' Japanese law requires that each individual should send in an. im- pression of his seal as a specimen (called jitsuin), to have it registered and kept in a government ofiice (district office of a city, town or Vll- lage), that it may represent himself In a deed. ' The material employed to make these seals consists of various kinds of precious stones, gold, silver, etc. Those mostly in use at the present day are of agate, rock crystal, ivory, rhinoceros or wood or box- rwood, and recently India rubber has come into use. ‘ There are two ways of engraving characters on a sealâ€"relief and in- taglio. In the one the characters in the impression are shown in color, .while in the other they are repre- sented in white on colored ground. The ink used for stamping is called ‘niku. It is ,generally of vermilion red. The cheapest kind of seals are made of boxwood and sold at 5 cents apiece. Most seals are oval in shape, but some are round and others square. They rarely exceed Zone-half inch in diameter. ' _.._._tr Revising Things. ,VHewittâ€"Wh'at do you think of this suffragette business?

UUR [ETIER fllflM IURUlIfl INTERESTING BITS 0F GOSSIP FROM THE QUEEN CITY. Dr. 0. c. James Speaks of the ngh Cost of lelngâ€"Dr. Froldman's Cureâ€"Toronto Sufiragettesâ€"Exhlbltlon Association City people, not Infrequenitly. are heard to decluro that farmers are getting rich. that the present high cost of living must. be resulting in a situation in which the farming community as a whole is simply rolling in wealth. This view was punc- tured by Dr. C. C. James, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture for the Province of Ontario and now Advisory Expert for the Dominion Department of Agriculture, in his address to the Canadian Club. "I want to tell you." he sald emphati- cally, “that the farmer is not getting too much." In illustration lie quoted the fact that a bag of potatoes which costs 90c., $1.00 or $1.25 in Toronto, yields to the far- mer who grows them. probably in Carle- ton County, New Brunswick, not more than 300.. and the milk which sells in Toronto for 10c. a quart yields the farmer probably only 41-20. a quart. .“The farmer who gets 41-20. a quart. is not getting too much.” he said. “but the City man who pays 100. a quart Is paying too much." Mr. James maintained that the system of distribution was all wrong. though, he said, there was no use calling the middle man hard names, because he was simply working under conditions as they exist and earning an honest living. Air. James was discussing the cost of luring.~ and it was an attentive group of 250 city men he was addressing. They were vitally interested, because, as Mr. James pointed out. the present conditions have reached such a pass that for the classes of the community on fixed salar- les. and this means the great body of teachers, clergymen, clerks and all other forms of unorganized workers, relief must come soon. The West Is Not Helping. Mr..James made a comment that was surprising to many of his audience In connection with the opening up of West- ern Canada. He demonstrated that as far as the cost of living in this country is concerned, the new population in the West is doing nothing to ameliorate conditions. While they are producers in one sense of the word, the stuff they are producingâ€" wheat. oat-s. flaxâ€"is practically all for ex- port, so that as a matter of fact the in- creased population is simply adding to the consuming population of the country. On the other hand. the rural population of Eastern Canada during the last ten years had declined by about 47,000 people. while the city or urban population of the country had increased by no loss than 1,250,000. In these figures, Mr. James thought. lay ono of the chief causes for the great advance in the cost of living in Canada. The consumers had increased, the producers had declined in number. It was inevitable that the law of supply and demand should rule. Mr. James followed thls up with the startling declaration that In his opinion it would be better for the Government, instead of spending thirty, forty or fifty mllllon dollars for rail- ways to open up new area ln the North- west, to take a similar amount and spend lt on good roads ln old Ontario and the other settled portions of Eastern Canada. In this connectlon Mr. James polnted out that Canada. generally regarded as an agricultural country, ls a large im- porter of food stuffs. British Columbia. for example. Imports $16,000,000 worth of table products annually, and little New Brunswick. another agricultural province. imports $4,000,000 worth. Mr. James outlined what it was proposed to do with the $10,000,000 now belng grant- ed by the Dominion Department of Agri.’ culture for the increase of agricultural knowledge and training, the purpose be- Inn to teach the farmers how to Increase the amount of their produce. Frleumann's Cure. Among local medical men and the pub- lic generally there is the keenest interest In the reported discovery by Dr. Fried- manu. the German physician. of a suc- cessful treatment for consumption. Sever- al local doctors have made arrangements to interview Dr. Frledmann, and it Is hoped that possibly be may-be Induced to visit Toronto. Despite the great publicity which has- been glven the new "cure," the disposition among Toronto medical men Is to look with some suspicion on the high claims that have been made. They will be delighted to find that Dr. Fried- manu’s cure ls as dependable as has been stated. but In view of the doubt they think it is unfortunate that so much publicity has been given the matter until all pos- sibllity of disappointment to sufferers had passed. That a distinct advance in the treatment of tuberculosis has been made they consider possible, but that anything like a “cure all” has been discovered seems to them Incredible. Eager Sufiragottes. The Toronto Suffragettes who went to Washington have returned well pleased with their expedition. The Suffragettes. as a rule, are very sensitive of criticism of their actions. but this has not prevent- ed certain persons of both sexes from asklng what was to be gained by such a jaunt. The point of view of these critics is that the Canadian participation in the Washington parade was as much out of place as would be the participation In an Ottawa. parade of Canadian Suflragettes . seeking to influence the Dominion Parlia- ment. by a contingent of United States women. The Toronto contingent could not help but impress the eye. They were red hats. long white trailing gowns with a blur red sash bearin the word "Canada." and carried Union acks. The delegation included about a dozen of the most ac- tive agitators in Toronto, including Mrs. Flora Macdouald Denlson, President of the Canadian Suffrage Association: Dr. Augusta Stowe-Cullen. past president: Dr. Margaret Johnston, Mrs. Campbell Mac- Ivor. who alone 0LToronto's sufirngcttcs ' believes in militant methods: Mrs. Hec- tor Prenter, the very active Secretary of the Association; Mrs. L. A. Hamilton, President or the Equal Franchise League and a. very active socialworker, and Mrs. E. L. Cam bell. President of the Beaches‘ Progress 0 ub. All of these are ladies of ripe experience In women’s movements. and none belongs to the type- one would expect _»to be carried away by any vlslon- uy project. The enthusiastic Mrs. Ham- llion proposes to organize a. parade in Toronto next. Cablnof Mlnlalcn Land in Hand.

Mr. Hearst forcible and down- right, and Dr. Pyue the dignified and suave gentleman. ‘ The Exhibition Association is made up of delegates from various bodies of a more or less representative character through- out the Province. Membership in the As- sociation carries with it as privileges the right to attend the annual meeting. to take art In the discussion there and to vote 11 the election for Board of Direc- tors, and to a pass or two for the Exhibi- tion. The Board of Directors. consisting of 16 members, is the inner circle. While the membership of the Association In- eludes a number from outside the city, the Directorshlps are pretty well confined to men. with Toronto interests. Formerly there was in addition to the Directorate a system of committees through which It was sought to Interest the various mem- bers of the Association, but this plan has been largely abandoned. The lnmost Circle. As a matter of fact. there ls an Inner circle wlthlu the inner circle. the inmost. clrclo being the Executive Committee of about five members. This is the real gov- erning body of the Exhibition. The annual meeting this year was one of the largest in the hlstory of the As- sociation. filling one of the large rooms at the City Hal. President. Kent, 9. man of few words, preslded. and General Man- ager Orr was at his left hand to sec that the wheels revolved smoothly. The elec- tion of Directors ls always accompanied by a great deal of buttonholing, and, it is said. wire-pulling, and there is gener- ally a surprise in store for someone. This year It was for Mr. II. R. Frankland, a former director who had some disagree- ment with the other members of the Board during the year just closed, and who this year went down to defeat. After the voting adjournment was made to a restaurant. where an elaborate luncheon was served. K‘ Old Folks’ Coughs Permanently Cured The Publim ls Loud In Its Pralsa of the Modern Dlrect Breathing sure. Elderly people take cold easily. Unlike young folks, they recover slowly, if ever. That is why so many people past middle life die of pneumonia. Even though pneumonia does not develop and kill, coughs certainly weaken all elderly peo- ple. Cough Syrups seldom do much good be- cause they upset digestion. Any druszist or doctor knows that a much more effec- tlve treatment ls “CATARRIIOZONE.” which heals and soothes the Irritated sur- faces of the throat. ' In using Catarrhozonc you do not take medicine into the stomachâ€"you simply breathe into the throat, nose and lungs rich piney balsamic vapor, so full of heal- ing power that colds, catarrh and bron- chitic disappear almost Instantly. "At slxty-clght years of age I can tes- tify that I am never troubled with coughs or colds." writes J. E. Pilgrim. of King- ston. "They used to be the baln of my life, and that was before I used Catarrh- ozono. which was recommended to mo by C. L. Prouso. druggist. To use Catarr-h- ozone is Just like being in an lmmonse pine woods.» Tho"balsa'mlo vapor of Ca- tarrhozone ls like a. tonic. It is so stimu- lating to the breathing organs, so sooth- ing to sore spots, so full of power to drlvo out colds and congestion.

The wife of a missionar long sta- tioned in Africa oonfcsse the other day that she became hysterical with suppressed laughter at the first service that her husband hold at the station after bringing her out. ‘She had, indeed, to leave the chapel under pretext of a sudden nose- bleed, lest she should disgrace her- self by an outburst of unseemly mirth. _ The cause of her discomfiturc was an important convert, an aged and venerable chief with snowy wool and a countenance of ferocious digâ€" nity. The young wife had thrown away the day before an outgrown pair of her tiny daughter’s ankleâ€" tic-s. They were of gay scarlet morocco; and when they reappear- ed at church, buttoned neatly through the distended lobes of the old chief’s ears and dangling con- spicuously against his withered ebony shoulders, the spectacle was too much for herâ€"especially in combination with the rest of his costume, which consisted of a dirty blue loin~cloth, and. a head-dress made of feathers artistically comâ€" bined with imported shirt-buttons. Missionary gravity is often so, verely tested by the go-to-meetingâ€" best of the unsophisticated congre~ gation. Even our own country can suppily instances in point. The tale comes from Alaska of an Indian settlement the resident pastor of which prepared the minds of his people for the coming of a distin- guishcd clergyman who was going to preach to them, by explaining that not only would his words be worth hearing, but that his charac- ter was such that he might be con~ sid-ere-d an exemplar of all the Christian graces, and eminently worthy of imitation. ' During his earnest and eloquent address, the visiting preacher had occasion to use his handkerchief; having done so, he thrust it care- lessly into a coat-tail pocket. He quite failed to observe that the greater portion remained hanging outside, and streamed backward as he gesticulated in a manner that the respectfully admiring natives deemed peculiarly elegant and __ef- fective. The next Sunday the decorum of their own pastor was severely strained when he behold a flock more suggestive of Little Bo-Peep’s than any other, proudly advancmg down the aisle. Every man, woman and child had a handkerchief, rag or iece of white cloth, of any ma- terial, from sailcloth to muslin, and V cusss ‘couons Mr. J. E.

I thought thls would heal, but Instead of doing so It developed Into a bad ulcer, and later Into a form. of eczema which spread very rapidly; and also started on the other leg. Both legs beesine so swollen and sore that I could only go about my work by having them bandaged. My doctor said. I must stop work and lay up. “After six months of this trouble I consulted another doctor, but wlth no better result. I tried all the selves, llnlments and lotions I heard of, but Instead of getting better I got worse. “This was my condition when I got my first box of Zsm-Buk. Greatly to my delight that first box gave me ro- ller. I continued to apply It to the sores. and day by day they got better.
