One night he was playing in “When Johnny Came Marching Home,” when Mr. W. T. Carleton, who was playing the General, was seized with heart failure in the biggest scene and had to leave the stage. Quick as a flash Mr. Mac- kenzie shot to the front, took up the part where it had been broken off and, to the amazement of the company, finished playing the part without a single error. The next day Mr. Carle- No lumberman gets a dollar bill out of a felled tree until he has spent three other dollars for labor and sup- plies.

If the man working the limits doe. not first advance the worker and the supply-man their part of the cash, the wood operations come to a standstill and the Whole invest- ment may be thrown away. Young Scotchman Has Romantic, Busy Career on Stage a nobleman. leased several thousand acres of land for shooting in the Scot- tish Highlands. There he became ac- quainted with a Scotch gillie, whom he liked so much that he persuaded him to arrvompany him back to Lon- don at the end of the shooting season. The gillie was really only a try of eighteen, and the nobleman decided to have him educated. Treated as a rue-lid by his patron, the Scotch boy, 1-):maId Mackenzie, enjoyed all ad- montages and it was ultimately dis- emered that he had a splendid bari- tone mice, which made him much in demand in society drawing rooms. One day a prominent theatrical man heard him, and offered him an operatic en- gagement at Daly’s Theatre to play the part of Lord Enchester in “The Country Girl.” He accepted, and was so successful that the late Augustin Daly engaged him to play the part in the United States. A remarkable romance of the film is related in a film paper. In 1900 ton showed his gratitude by raising Mr. Mackenzie’s salary and giving him the part. A lasting friendship sprang up between the two, and when Mr. Mackenzie began producing pic- ture plays, it which he is making $15,000 a year, he gave Mr. Carleton a big part in his fine photo-play, “The Pardon.” Look this over! $40,000,000 a year are paid out in wages in the making of timber and its manufacture in Canada. Investors have backed Can- adian forest industries with over $260,000,000. of capital. 110,000 men get their livelihood from living forests. a dead forest means a dead paysheet. Where do these men live? One hun- dred and fifty of them and their families are in a little town. Have you seen the cooperage and box mill, the boat works and the saw mill? There are 3, 500 of them on the pay- list of a single firm in Ottawa dur- ing an average season. Look over your own town. See What would hap- pen if wood supplies suddenly ceased.

To my mind, thrift to Canada to-day is what Pre- paredness means to the Americans, at the present moment. It is an essen- tial factor in our national life. The Government has recognized this prime essential, by carrying on an extensive cammign with the idea of educating Canadians. Good as the educational campaign along this line has been it has lacked the first essentials that make for success. Thrift begins with the little things in the daily routine of our living. An old broken Iiy-screen frame was made quite rigid with the use of metal braces, cut as shown and fas- tened with nails to each corner. The brace was cut from sheet metal, and the edges A and B were cut and bent at right angles to the main part, with their extreme edges bent over the frame. These were sufficient to make the frame as rigid as a new one.â€" From Popular Mechanics. Canada Needs New Quality, if She Becomes Great It was the late Sir William Van Horne, that rugged Canadian with the sane ideas of life, who told an inter- viewer that “success in life means spending one dollar, if you only earn two dollars.” With this as the funda- mental idea must we begin to instil thrift into Canadians as a people. Canada may be likened unto the young man who has sown his wild oats. As a young nation Canada has “had its fling.” It is just about time we Can- adians decided to settle down if we are to become great in a world sense. With a saner plane of living estab- lished for our plain people, the foun- dation of the Dominion may be con- sidered to have been constructed with Summer resorts are places Where people go to rise at 4 a.m. and stay up until 1 a.m. to do nothing. If the question was asked which country’s national flag has been long- est in use, the answer would be either the dragon banner of China or the Chrysanthemum flag of Japan. The former has been used from a very early period, and the latter is as old as the present dynasty in Japan, Which is the most ancient in the world. Amongst’ European national flags that of Denmark, a white St. George’s cross on a red ground, is the most ancient, having been in use since 1219. No other flag has existed without change for anything like the same period as a national emblem, although there are Royal Standards that are older. The Spanish colors date only from 1785, and the British flag, in its present form, was first flown after the union with Ireland in 1801. The Stars and Stripes of the United States is older than Britain's, for it was first planned and ordered by Washington of an upholsterer in Phila- delphia, and formally adopted on June 14th, 1777.

It afterwards attacked my Heart and I had pains allover my body, so that I could hardly move around. I tried all kinds of Medicine but none of them did me any good. At last, I decided to try “Fruit-a-tives”. I bought the first box last June, and now I am well, offer using only tlzree boxes. I recommend “Fruit-a-tives” to anyone suffering: from Indigestion”. A soapstone griddle. like an iron spider, requires long service to season it. Shoes should be well sunned and aired, and several pairs should be kept in use. “Fruit-a-tives” So’on Relieved This Dangerous condition In cleaning painted woodwork it is better to use a strong kerosene water than any kind of soap. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.30, trial size, 250.

Barley water for children should be made with one teaspoonful of prepared barley flour and one and one-half cups of water. Boil 20 minutes. A shortwaist box stood on end and fitted with shelves makes a good little cupboard to hold hats. A six pound electric iron is the best to choose for laundrx u ork because it holds the heat longer.
