On the Island of Madagascar, a species of bee manufactures a geculiarly scented green honey. In urope a deep walnut colored honey is gathered from the aphids of the sycamore tree. The famous heather honey of Scotland is golden yellow and a rose colored honey has been produced by artificial feeding. Here in Canada}. our honey varies in color from w ite to very dark. As a general thing. the flavor var- ies in the same way, and the li hip est is the mildeSt flavor. For is reason, the organized heekeepers of Ontario. are grading their extracted honey in four classes: li ht, llsht amber, dark amber and dar . Since this is done for the protection of the consumer, the consumer should he familiar with these honey stan- “Light” honey is derived chiefly fnom the clovers, alfalfa, apple, raspbgrry, basswgod, Cpnadaut‘gisug and fireiveed. The term “Clover Honey” is misleading. There is al- ways a blending of these honeys. as the flowering season of these plants overlap each other. “Amber” honey is derived chiefly from dandelion, goldenrod, buck- wheat and wild flower blossqms. This class is subdivided.‘ “Light Amber” is honey in which the flav- or of .the buckwheat blossom is not predominant. “Dark Amber” honey may contain up to approximately 25 per cent of buckwheat. honey. “Dark” honey is derived from buck- wheat and the blossoms of fall flowers. Honey should be stored in a place whm'n tho tomparature is always about. the same; the pantry is ideal. If oxposod to damp air, honey will absorb moisturv and may ferment. Pancakes and honey are good for a man who works. It is hard to say what this food would do for a lazy man. It is said that it will create a strong desire to work, and society might lose some of its onra- months. So it is wise to be careful with the pancakes and honey.-â€"Mil- vorton, Ontario, Sun. 01' SOUP.

A good one was pulled off at a Conservative meeting held in Port Elgin previous to the late election which had it been tried in the “rough and tumble." days of politiâ€" cal animosity would have been the. signal for a free-for-all fight~ but which in these days of some think- ing and f nee. speech was looked upon as a huge joke. “ n m-- ‘ JL'I.‘ u After listening»' to Mr. Roscoe Tee- ple of Ureenock Township, Major Rohins of Ottawa and Col.

R99 honeygqunds pictmjesquq but HOBBY 01' um COLORS WERE OVER ENTHUSIAST“! Honey Toast Every part of the world, writes a correspondent, has its animals of peculiar interest to the tourist. If he south to the countr of the 31 , he will see an ani whose very existence he might deem im- possible. If he goes out on the prairies the ranchers in that coun- try will tell him incredible stories of that cunning wretch, the coyote; if he goes still farther west into that little region of lands in Britisih Columbia about 0 nogun Lake, he will find some very remarkable forms of life. Seated early one warm September evening on a hotel veranda in that country, some tourists were com- ring the strange creatures they ad seen. When they had talked, awhile, a native of the place volun- teered to introduce them to another curiosity of natural histor that they might add to their col ection. So at his invitation, they followed him down to a mountain stream that emptied into the lake close by. It was only a yard or so wide, but it shot down over its steep course in a tremendous hurry to reach the lake. Close under the bank lay what seemed to be reddish stones. from eight to twelve inches long. The tourists were told to walk quietly to the edge, kneel down, place their hands slowly in the water, then just as deliberately to grasp those red things, keeping their hands care- fully towards the A end pointing upstream . To their amazement, they found on lifting their prize from the water that they had a “kickninnie,” a species of trout. and not a stone at all. The fun had started. Never before had they caught a fish with nothing but. their bare hands. and in less than half an hour. the three men had caught enough for the breakfast of the guests at the small hotel. The kickninnies begin to rise from the lake bottom when the Septem- ber moon begins to show, and the “r n” is most numerous as the moon becomes full. Then gradually they decrease in numbm‘. At no other time of the year are they to be seen. They will not bite at a hook; so they are never caught in the lake. Some people say they are a deep-waterflsh and that they come The boys go out at night to these streams with lanterns and gaff the fish as they dart by, for the kick- ninnies prefer to go up by moon- light rather than in the daytime. This practice of gaming had to be stopped, as the fish were so easily caught that it was feared they Would be exterminated. One ‘old- timer” used to build a dam across the stream and catch them by the hundreds to spread as a fertilizer on his land. He took for his omi wants what he could use.. salted down what he needed for a. winter supply, and the rest he spread about under his peach and apple trees. Now. however. the law forbids any such wasteful usa of fish. whicn ,without some protection of the sort “would unquestionably become ex- l tmct. from the depths for the spawning season only. They dart with won- derful swiftness up the current and come to rest in’ a pool for a few min- tes. then on up again, taking advan- tage of stones and twigs t0 clamber up the rapids of the stream till they cangono farther.

Sir Robert Horne warned his Am- ericsn audience at the Pilgrims' dinner against exaggerated pictures of Great Britain‘s gloomy future. Englsnd‘s present situstion is dif- ticull.~ but this does not mean that she is slipping from her place among the nations. Her trisls are part of the world‘s trials. Her share of the world’s trade is what it wns before the war. If she must cope with nearly a million and a half un- emplo ed, it is because world trade is stil 20 per cent below the |ll“3~ war level. As the prosperity of the nations wins back to its former height, Great Britain will recover her proper share. This is not the forced optimism of a former Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is precisely the same view held by. so good a spokesman for the Brntish Labor Party as Mr. Sidney Webb. Indir- ect corroboration is available from other sources. If there is any one observation oint from which Bri- tish prospec s have been visualized in the darkest shades. it is Moscow. From the Soviet publicists have come the most emphatic and joyful predictions of the steady collapse of England’s economic life, the disrup- tion of the empire and Britain’s fate to play the captive at the chariot tail of American capitalism. Yet it is Moscow that has hastened to explain the treaties at Locarno as one more triumph for Great. Britain. “At Locarno. according to the M'os- cow version. a great anti-Russian bloc has been organized under Bri- tish leadership and backed by the resources of American capitalism. That. is indeed a remarkably speedy recovery for a patient. so sick as England has been described.‘ Great Britain’s economic troubles need not be minimized. On the other hand, there is no question that pes- simism has been fed by something more than trade depression and un- emmloymcnt. The militant note. struck by the trades unions at the Scarborough congress seemed to in- voke the menace of revolution in the trail of industrial depression. But the attitude of political Labor in Great Britain has done much to discount the Scarborough threat. The same evening that Sir Robert. Horne was addressing the Pilgrims, Arthur Henderson. one. of Ramsay MacDonald’s chief aids, Spoke at Copper Union. “No matter what .you hear.” he said. “we are try- ing to transfer the great indus- tries by democratic methods to ENGLAND [8 HOT 110'!
