A WARNING CASE.--Onur attention has been called toa case which was decided by the Division Court at Osgoode Hall, Tcronto, a few days ago under section 119 of the Crim declared to be a criminal offence for any person to sell or give a pistol or an air gun to a minor under the age of 16 years. In the case referred to a boy had purchased an airgun, and while shooting sparrows, a shot acci- dentiy struck a woman who was on{| ihe street in eye. She brought an; action fordaumuges against the person why had sold the gun to the boy, and recovered $800 and costs, and the igh Court has sustained the verdict. It is also made a criminal offence by the same statute for a person to sell a pistol or air-gun toanyone, whether a minor or adult, without kesping a record of the sale with the date, the name of purchaser and the name of the maker of the gun, or other mark by which it may be indentified. If there are local complaints, and we are told there have been, strict at- law in the future. --_----- oe Editor The Bee: Atwood, Ontario Dear Sir :-- The assertion has been made that agricultural papers could not practice what they preach, but the Farmer's Adyoecate and IJome Magazine has the courage of its convictions. Fuith backed up by works is the kind that carries strongest proof to the douht- ingmind. Believing earnestly in this principle, the publishers haye follow ed up their valuable line of Orchard demoastration by purchasing a farm of 135 aeres, six miles north of Lon- don, where the methods advocated through the paper will be worked out in practice, and where new idea3 may he tested before heing recomended for general adoption. The farm is what is known locally as the old Sifton place. The rolliog land, while naturally good, bas been worked out and infested with weeds till it has become about the dirtiest farm in the County of Middlesex. The barns are dilapidated and the fences down. Al together it presents an excellent opportunity for showing what can be accomplished in restoriag a run- down property. The Managing Editor of the Farmer's Advocate will live on the place, superintending it with the assistance of a competeut working foreman. This is not to be an experimental furm, except incidentally, nor yet a] inodel farm: save in so far as any} well-managed farm should bea model. | It is simply a farm run on « straight commercial basis, where strict ac- counts will be kept and the informa- tion published from time to time.

This is Hoffman's "Christ! ol the Temple," sometimes calledi opts picture is everywhere kpown,! partly from the fact that it has beem' reproduced in stained glass windows; fm many American churches. It rep-: resents the boy Jesus conversing with. the philosophers. The prohibition of the picture's re- production on postcards was estab- lished by the painter himself. He per- mits the sale of larger..copies, how- ever, and to these, when requested, he attaches his signature for a mark, about 25 cents. The money he re- celves for his signature he gives to the poor of Dresden. As the demands upon him to sign the copies of his great work o e many, the gain to per- sons of unfortunute financial conditicn is great. Hoffman is still living in. Dresden, but he is an elderly man and is sel- dom seen in the streets of the city. He lives in a beautiful house, which is pointed out to tourists, not so much because of its magnificence, however, as because of the fame of its owner. "Christ In the Temple" is probably the most admired of the modern can- vases in the Zwinger museum. Ind there is perhaps only one other picture in the gallery which is more famous. That is, of course, Raphael's "Sistine Madonna."--Exchange. CHANCES AT _ AT BRIDGE. Interesting Ranstasleas Worked Out y a Mathematician. The first man to deal seriously with mathematical prot cms at whist was the famous French mathematician De Molvre, who supplied all of Hoyle's figures in Hoyle's celebrated treatise on whist. Sir Isaac Newton is report- ed to have said that De Molvre was a far greater mathematician than he was, but De Moilvre's figures were all calculated at whist apd not at bridge. Quite recently, however, R. F. Foster, ano mean authority on mathematics and games of chance, has been work- ing on the doctrine of chance at bridge and has arrived at the follow- ing very interesting conclusions: When you hold thirteen ecards it ts quite obvious that your partner must hold thirteen of the remaining thirty- nine, but it appears that the thirteen cards in your partner's hand may be grouped in 8,122,425,444 different ways. When you hold one honor your part-. ner will hold one or more of the four remaining honors ten times out of twelve. He will hold two or more of the four missing honors ten times out of twen- ty-five. If you hold two honors he will hol& all of the three missing honors once in thirty-one times. He will hold two of them ten times out of thirty-five and will hold no honors at all ten times out of twenty-five. He will hold one honor or more--you still having two honors--ten times out of fourteen.--, Arthur Loring Bruce in Ainslee's, ~' =. She Was Inquisitive. ~~ ~' "We are all more or less scientific," once declared Mme. Curie, who was recently awarded the Albert medal of the Royal Society of Arts for the dis- covery of radium. "The boy who wants to know what makes the wheel go round is the embryo discoverer of some new force. Inquisitiveness is an: essential to scientific research." Asa child Mme. Curie was inquisitive, and on more than one occasion she ran narrow escapes of blowing herself and her father's house and laboratory to bits in making experiments. Instead of playing with her dolls she found greatest happiness in watching her father at work. Ultimately she went to Paris and there-met Pierre Curie, and together they made the great dis-- covery of radium.--London Standard. ' opis nhimainaaters ' New Supply of Cedar.
