An English weaver who had spent two or three years in America was paying a visit to the old mill to see some of his former workmates. One of them said to him: “I hear it’s all hustle and bustle in Americm In fact. you ’aven’t time to eat.” “Hustle and bustle.“ said the visitor. “Why. when I left here I spelt my name ‘errill.’ but now I spell it ‘Mer- '“How’s that?” asked his friend. “Because.” replied the Americanized one.

In the tower of the town house of Heidelberg was an old clock so con- structed that when the hours struck the figure of an old man pulled off his hat. a cock crowed and clapped its wings and soldiers fought with one an- other. But this curious piece of work manship, with the castle and town was burned by the French in 1693. . It Won’t Harm the Pigs. Visitors-My good man, you keep your pigs much too near the house.

ANSWERS T0 GERMAN PROPOSAL OF PEACE Duma Rejects rdea Flatiyâ€"Dangers of Premature Truceâ€"Bonar Law For Britain “Something has happened of which I think it necessary that I should say a word,” said Bonar Law in the Com- mons last week. “Naturally the papers are full of the peace proposals from Berlin. In moving the last vote of credit the late Premier in a perora- tion which moved the House and the nation used these words: “They (the allies) require that there should be adequate reparation for the past and adequate security for the future.’ That is still the policy, still the deter- mination of his Majesty’s Govern- The Duma unanimously passed a resolution last week against the ac- ceptance of the German peace pro- posals after a spirited speech by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The text of the resolution follows: “The Duma, having heed the statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, unani- mously favors a categorical refusal by the allied Governments to enter, under present conditions, into any peace negotiations whatever. Dangerous and Inelncere “it considers that the German pro- posals are nothing more than fresh proof of the weakness of the enemy and a hypocritical act from which the enemy expects no real success, but by which it seeks to throw upon others the responsibility for the war and for what happens during it and to excul- pate- itsel-f before fmblic opinion in Germany. The Duma considers that a premature page woulgl not on}? _be ;.

W. Flavelle, chairman of the Im- perial Munitions Board, to a crowded audience in the Chateau Laurier on Saturday before the Ottawa Canadian Club. “Am I stating it too strongly if I say we are almost drunk with prosperity? Is there evidence in this country of national sorrow and con- cern? The total percentage of shells produced in Canadian relation to all the shells used at the British front‘ is a percentage so large that I would : amaze some of you if I were at liberty to express the figures.” Mr. Flavelle said that the failure; on the part of a manufacturer to de- ' liver shells was a thing so grave that he ought not to be able to sleep at night until he had made every arrange- ment he knew how. In the head office at Ottawa there were 600 men and wo- men, and scattered over the Dominion were 4,000 inspectors. The amount of money which the Board would ex- , pend was over 2% times greater than Iall the expenditure in a normal year [by the Dominion Government. Or- ders had been placed in every pro- vince in Canada, with the exception of Prince Edward Island. There were 600 odd establishments working for the Board, and 200 to 250 to give them their raw product. An organization to be known as the Dominion Prohibition Committee was the outcome of the conference of temperance leaders from every Province in Canada, held at the Cha- iteau Laurier last week. The com- lmittee’s object will be the aggressive ‘prosecution of a campaign for a dry Canada. Mr. Justice E. Lafontaine . was chosen President of an Executive ‘of twenty-four members; Charles E. §Steele of Port Colborne, Ont., was elected Treasurer, and John H.

Unless you have really tried it you have no idea how unusual and refreshing it is. City life and even modern country life are not conducive to its practice. It is very different from being lonesome and quite another matter from being ill. It is found at its full flower only in the woods, and its best development requires some ad- justment and practice. The first experience is apt to leave one somewhat baffled if not frightened. We live so much with other men and with the evidences of their activity that we hardly know how much is ourselves and how much some one else. In the woodsâ€"and it need not be the remote wildernessâ€"we can divest our- selves of all that is not really a part of us. We can learn how small-or perhaps how largeâ€"we are. We can soak up impressions with time to taste them and consider them. We can learn the true value of wind and clouds and sun and shade. If we feel like it we can talk out loud to ourselves. and there will be no one to think us crazy. We can sing and no one will tell us we are of]! the tune. In short, we can be natural for once in our livesâ€"free from the warping effect of what other people think. That is surely an experience worth while.â€" Outing. Painfully Explicit. The proprietor of a certain hotel in Europe posted Up the following warn. lng to his clients: “Gentlemen who come in this hotel‘ not say anything about their meals they will be charged for, and if they should say beforehand that they are going out to breakfast or dinner, and it they say that the; not have any- thing to eat they will be charged, or unless they bring it to the notice of the manager, and should they want not to say anything. they must order the manager for, and not any one else. and unless they not bring it to the no- tice of the manager, they will be charged for the least things not, ac- cording to hotel rate. And no fuss will be allowed afterward about it. and nothing will be allowed to deduct anything out of it." Arter 'this explicit information then surely could be no excuse for misun- demanding. Antiquity of the Senate. The senate is historically much older than the lower house, or house of rep- resentatives, as it is called in our country and time. In the remote time. while as yet there was no such thing as a science of government, the tribe was wont to look to lts old men. on account of their wisdom and experi- ence, for advice in all matters per- taining to the tribe, and those old men warn flu: 6m+ sonators. he I? rd senator comes from “senesJT meanfng old.
