It was grown from a cutting procured in 1768 from an Essex vinery by: the celebrated landscape gardener, Leeds. This was planted about 1780, and still carries nearly 200 fine bun- ches of grapes, some of which fre- quently win prizes at Leeds and Edino burgh. “Well, last year we had eighteen." “Eighteen ?” echoed Wigglethorpe. “How can you manage that number on your income?” “Oh, seventeen of 'em were cooks who stayed on an average of five days apiece," said Hawkins. “The rest was our gardener.” Mustard rubbed on the bands will at once remove all email of fish. apparatus has a set of teeth in its bell-shaped mouth, so that after "me boll has entered the mouth it will 1.01: withdraw, but will be sucked into the tube and through the latter into the cage. It is a much swifter and neuter Operation than picking cotton by hand, and two or three men can pick a. field quicker with it than a small army of uegroes could do the work unaided. Now it is cotton picking toward which the vacuum principle has been directed. A planter has invented a. pneumatic machine which seems to be entirely pmctical and a great time- saver. An apparatus to create suction is mounted on the rear of a truck and in front is a wire cage to hold the cot- ton.

The farmer is fac- ing new problems. He is facing the problem of getting more out of his acres, and of getting more money for his labor. in order to make more money the farmer must practise the principles of efficiency.

The bones of a human being will bear three times as great a pressure as oak, and nearly as much as wrought iron, without being crushed. An interesting lecture was given on the subject of oanada’s forest wealth by Dr. J. S. Bates, Superintendent of the Forest Products Laboratories, be- fore the Natural History Society, Montreal. The forests of Canada, he explained, extend from the Pacific to the Atlantic. British Columbia had half the timber in the Dominion.

The charter of the British South Ai- rica Company was dated Oct. 29, 1889. By agt‘ceements with Germany in 1900, Portugal in 11.891, and the Congo State in 1894, the boundaries of Rhodesia were defined. In June, 1890, a pioneer force under Colonel Pennefather, guid- ed by' the well-known tra eiler F. C. Selous, set to occupy the district of Mashonaland, and Within a few months had rez‘ched the site of What is now Sa isbury. the seat of the Gov- ernment of Rhodesia, and established small forts at Tull, Victoria, and Charter. Within two years a white population of 3,000 persons had settled in the newly opened country. Trouble with the natives began, however, in July, 1893; a hotly fought war for the rest of the year resulted in the British con- quest of Matabeleland. May 3, 1895, the company's territory received of- ficially the name of Rhodesia. There were serious native rebellions in 1896, and as a resu t of the events of that year (the rebellions and the Jameson raid) the Imperial Government re~ modeled the Constitution of Rhodesia, an imperial resident Commissioner was appointed, and a Legislative Coun- cil was named. The chief towns are Salisbury, Bulawayo, Umtali, Gwelo, and Victoria. The development of the colony has been, in spite of draw- backs, rapid, healthy, and industrially ed transc vigorous. the artist vim: depicts Canadian his- torical events.

There are thousands afflicted with absent-mindedness, mildly or badly. Some know it, other don’t. If you belong to either class, make up your mind to keep that mind at home! To let it go wool-gathering, to get “lost in thought,” to look vacuous, to have to bring your mind back, While you seek to cover the operation by verbal fumbling, is equivalent to suicide as regards SHCCbSS in life. The habit of absent-mindedness grows on one, too. If you want to “make good,” stop the growth and end the habit! Here’ 5 a real life ex- ample of how it loses friends. Two men met. They were friends.
