The executive government of this country, although exercised in practice by a committee of ministers known as the Cabinet, whose existence is dependent upon the support of a maâ€" jJority in the House of Commons, is vested nominally in "the King in FUNCTIONS OF PRIVY COUNCIL This means the Privy Council, a body of the most ancient origin, instiâ€" tuted in Saxon times by King Alfred to discharge the functions of state now confined to the members of the Cabâ€" inet. In the Middle Ages the chief advisers to the King who were perâ€" manently about him formed the Privy Council. Now the membership of the Privy Councilâ€"with a total of more than 500 persorsâ€"in most cases is merely an honerary distinetion. The Council, however, still is techâ€" nically the country‘s executive. All administrative orders are signed by ‘the King in Council."

Peter is able to reason; there can be no doubt of it, because he is seen to put his head knowingly on one side and study the situation before taking action, especially in a scene in which he has to convince the heroine, who has disappeared under the bedclothes, that he is not a burglar. The story is artificial melodrama, designed to show off the abilities of Peter, who is the dumb witness of a murder for which his master is wrongâ€" ly convictedd and imprisoned. Peter, getting on the right side of the governâ€" or, attends bis master in prison, conâ€" nives at his escape, and finally atâ€" tacks and "denounces" the real murâ€" derer, whom they encounter across the frontier. The great difficulty in training a dog for tme screen is to teach him to take an order without turning his head. One way of doing this is to place him in a room walled with mirâ€" rors, so that he can see his master from any position. _ Gradually he learns to obey a spoken order without the accompanying signal.

It is carried on in the beech woods of BHuckinghamshire, England, and still employs for its workâ€"the turning of chairâ€"legsâ€"exactly the same type of tools used hundreds of years ago when the industry began. Kn In England during the eighteenth century a similar idea prevailed with regard to mud, and few men enjoyed such notoriety as "Dr." Graham, of Pall Mall, the famous quack, who amassed a fortune by expounding its virtues and the various methods of exâ€" tracting them. It was also commonly believed in former times that if a child on first leaving its mother‘s room was not carâ€" ried upstairs before it was taken downâ€" stairs, it would never rise in the world. Where there was no upstairs to the ’h0|'~e the general practice was for the person who carried the liitle newâ€" comer to step over the threshold of the rooin on to a chair, which practice was _supposed to serve the same purpose. } It was a‘so considered unlucky for the child if the mother went out of doors before going to church to have her baby chrsistened. It was mainly for this reason that children were bapâ€". tized when they were but a forlnighfl or so old. The sooner the "xmming": was over, the sooner the mother was free to resume her normal life. f To weigh a child was a further‘ stroke of bad policy, for such a child| was sure to die young or grow up sickâ€" ; ly.

To rock an empty cradle was to rock a new bgby into it. And to let a child sleep on one‘s lap was a ceriain way of bringing misfortune on the Inâ€" nocent victim. Hesiod alludes to this latter superstition in his "Works and An Oldâ€"fashioned Industry. When children were born to the ancient Hebrews, the first duty was to rub them all over with sait,. It was a religious duty.~ Sakt was the acceptâ€" ed symbol of life, and is application to the infant‘s body had the reputed power of insuring vigorous manhood.

It seems a small nrina ta cutting. It seems a small price to pay for such an important result, yet the toll being taken by forest fires is equal if not in excess of that used by industry. Spruce still holds the lead in quanâ€" tity cut, although Douglas fir is a close secomd, and white pine third. There are 26 individual species of wood used for lumber, 18 species used for lath and 6 for shingles. Spruce is the principal wood used for lath, alâ€" though such hardwoods as maple, beech, ash, birch and elm were sawn for lath. Cedar almost held a monopoly of the shingle cut, but spruce, white, pine, hemlock, balsam, fir and even poplar were used for small quantities. More than oneâ€"half of the shingles were cut in British Golumbia, although 26,â€" 802,000 _ were cut in Ontario, 588,401,000 in Quebec and 239,â€" 460,000 in New â€" Brunswick. The Prairie provinces cut but few shingles, Alberta and Saskatchewan each proâ€" ducing only 830,000, from spruce and jack pine. 1 Of shingles and lath there were 8,â€" 872,385,000 picces cut, 2,718,650,000 shing‘les and 1,153,735,000 lath. There were 4,336,932 railway ties sawn in the mills. This does not inâ€" clude the millions that are chopped by tie contractors in the woods. Box shooks numbered 3,393,218; pickets, 8,124,9000; telegraph and telephone poles, 138,124, and slabs and edgings, 339,761 cords. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says: Until one sees the actual figures of production it is hard to credit the amount of material being taken out of the forests of Canada. The variety of product and the quantities are enorâ€" mous. _A statement just issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics of the lumber industry in Canada for 1923 contains some figures that will be a revelation to many, even of those who are more or less familiar with the development of this great Canâ€" adian natural resource. | Of lumber alone nearly three and threeâ€"quarter thousand million board, feet was cut by the sawmills, the| value of which was $108,295,563. _ | Of shingles and lath there were 3,-: 872,385,000 picces cut, 2,718,650,000 With so many gifts and graces deâ€" pending on the contingencies of our advent, the pity surely is that we have such small choice in the matter.
