If 1 might choose the moment of arrival in a strange city, it should be dawn. 1 could then take the city unawares, before it had time to put on the preoccupied expression . of everyday activities in which I had 10 part. Arriving at dawn, I should r»egin the day with those who belong there, not as an intruder, The early sunshine would smile its welcome, ind my first remark to a stranger, that it was a fine day, would make me feel at ease. _ In the hour of dawn, I beheld Bombay for the first time. During the night, there had been unmisâ€" takable sounds of arrival. The throb of engines was gubdued; somewhere in the ship‘s deep heart, shining steel and ponderous iron became ominously . still. Bare feet went thudding overhead, and voices callâ€" ed out in the darkness. The night was still when we stopped, crept forâ€" ward, stopped again, and then made a mysterious slow advance. Behind us lay the wide seas we had traversâ€" od for three weeks. I was to live in Bombay. Where in that opalescent sunrise, was my home? It was strange to reflect that soon many unfamiliar streets would become known to me, that the perâ€" fumse of exotic flowers, wafted over the water, would hold, for all time, a poignant memory. At dawn we had arrived. I went up on deck to see palm fringed hills, dim islands of irregular shape, and a lowâ€"lying city huddled along its harbor. Round our great ship a score of little craft circled busily in the broadening light, . and â€" alien figures came clambering on board to stare at us with curious eyes, Landing at dawn, the city had still en uncaptured beauty, and its breath was sweet as an ocean breeze. . It might have been a dream city, evolyâ€" ed from night shadows, nebulous and fair. Later there would be crowds, discordant noises, I, with everyone else, would have a distinct reason for going here or there with a sense of serious undertakings. But, as a Arrival at Dawn MUTT Yugoslavia‘s 1932 Scout Gathering Yugoslavia‘s Second National Scout Camp, held last year, was attended by contingents from each province, and by Hungarian, Czechslovakian and Russian Scout troops, and representaâ€" tives from Great Britain, Austria, Poâ€" land and France.

A New Tribute to the Junior League of Nations The owners of the Campagne Rigot, adjoining the park in which the new League of Nations buildings are being erected at Geneva, have invited Boy Scouts to camp there as guests. A special Scout dormitory is planned. _ Earl Bessborough Commends Scouting to Leading Citizens Addressing the Dominion Executive Committee of the Boy Scouts Associaâ€" tion His Excellency the Governorâ€"Genâ€" eral commended the quality of leaderâ€" ship reflected by the many Scout units reviewed by him during his summer tour of the west. He commented parâ€" ticularly upon the smartness of the Scouts in places where the interest of prominent public men was most eviâ€" dent, He commended the Movement ito the attention of leading business and professional men everywhere. The Hungarian organizing commitâ€" tee of the World Scout gathering planâ€" ned for 1933 is working on a scheme Scouting is available, through the Lone Scout Department, to all boys from 12 to 18 years of age inclusive.

I could roll in my carriage at ease down almost empty streets, dust colored under trees of scarlet gold mohr, and with houses in bowery gardens still asleep. Too soon the enchantment of dim loveâ€"lines would give place to hard outlines of photoâ€" graphic clarity, The Bombay of my arrival was beautiful, a city of domes, slender columns, soaring arch and carved balcony, set among lawns of emerald greenness, shadowy paim, and flaming flowers. The Bombay of my arrival was quite different to the Bombay, often wonderfully beautiâ€" ful, of my later experience. Yes, it is good to arrive at dawn. Littoria â€" Italy‘s New Town Mussolini‘s Caesarian operation in producing a new Italian town in the midst of the Pontine Marshes, close to Rome, which makes them habitable and tillable, is a new triumph for Il Duce. Nero, the Caesars, the Popes, and Napoleon I. according to the Rome correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, all attempted to drain the tract, which had become a feverâ€" stricken fenland, probably because an earthquake destroyed the natural drainage about 300 B.C. _ Fiftyâ€"five thousand men are now enâ€" gaged in the Fascist landâ€"reclamation scheme, and redeemed land has alâ€" ready given health and food to thousâ€" ands. It is stated that more than 17â€" 000,000 acres of swamps and mountain places have either been rendered fit for cultivation or are almost ready, Il Duce himself is quoted as saying: "To find work for our growing popuâ€" lation, it has hitherto been necessary to cross the Alps 0 the ocean. But toâ€"day it is here, halfâ€"anâ€"hour‘s journey from Rome that we have succeeded in conquering a new province. By "This is but a fraction of the land we are going to reclaim. Internal work will settle the problem of unemâ€" ployment before long and Italians will not emigrate any more." No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.â€"Soneca, February 12. .

InTropUCTION â€" Until now Jesus InTropuction â€" Until now Jesus had preached so that any one who happened to listen could understand. This method would no longer do. People were watching him, looking for something to use against him. Some form of instruction was necesâ€" sury which would be meaningless to the casual or critical hearer, but which would convay tru‘‘; to those whom ke wished specialiy t« instruct. To those who were really interested and sircere he would explein the mean.ng. From now . on he neve. snoke in public except in parables. He gave private explanations to his disciples, v. 34. 63 Verse 12 seems to contracdict this reason. Matthew‘s account says "beâ€" ciuse" (Matt. 13: 10â€"16), instead of Mark‘s "in order that.‘ â€"‘he passage which evidently came to Jesus‘ mind, as he reflected upon the hardness of people‘s hearts, was the discouraged eclamation of Isaiak in similar cirâ€" camstances, Isaiah 6: 9, 10. In Heâ€" brew literature, when some event could be confidentlv predicted, it was spoken of as having been planned or purposed. Isaiah knew so well how his people would react to unpleasant trâ€"th that he prediced thet they would harden their hearts sgainst all that .e was going to say. They themâ€" selves were bringing abou; their deâ€" struction, not God. Matthew, familiar with this characteristic of Hebrew litâ€" erature, wrote down in plain lanâ€" guage, so that none eed misunderâ€" stand, what Jesus really meant. "I speak to them in parables because. .‘ I GOSPEL HARDENED, Mark «: 4, 15.

The gospel calls, not morely for admiration, but for action. Ruskin siid, "Every duty we omii obscures some truth we might have known.‘ What could Jesus say, or any other preacher do, with such hearers? At the moment, notling. The birds, some twittering interest, some new exciteâ€" ment, some trivial item of gossip imâ€" mediately snatch up the seeds of truth. Until life drives some ploughâ€" share of pain or trouble into such lives, truth will make no hold. II. CHARMED BUT NOT CHANGED, Mark 4: 5, 6, 16, 17. The stony ground {v. 5) is a thin layer of good earth on a ledge of rock. It promotes a rapid growth which, in dry weather, quickly withers. This figure pictures the alert mind and the closed heart. "Delighted with your sermon this morning!"â€"but it mereâ€" ly stimulated the mind, changed neither the character nor conduct. This soil pictures the people who start but never finish, enthusiasms which d not last. "I will follow thee withâ€" ersoever thou goest" (Luke 9: 57, 58), but the Master gave hin no enâ€" couragement. He knew that when "following" him would mean giving up cherished plans, undertaking some unwelcome service, being misunderâ€" stood, standing up against the cynic‘s talk that Jesus‘ ideal is beautiful but impossible to act out in daily life, then the sudcen, shallow enthusiasm would settle down, vs. 16, 17. This soil also pictures those who mistake an emotional excitement for a real conversion. A religion that is just feeling, and has not captured both mind and will, can aever stand up again~t life‘s trials and perplexities. III. PrEâ€"0cCUPIED, Mark 4: 7, 18, 19. Verse 7 indicates a soil that is rich and promising, but already sown with the seeds of competing plants.

E i L i \i By HELEN WILLIAMS. UN I AKIVU ~AKUOIIVE3 TORONTO Building the Soil With Supplies From the Farm Average Ontaro farm soils, after be ing worked for some time, develop weakness in one or more of the folâ€" lowing respects: 1. *n plantfood. The plantfood in a soil is determined very largely by its type. Successive cropâ€" ping will naturally use up considerable of the original plantfood. 2. In orâ€" ganic matter. After cultivation for some years if insufficient attention is paid to the upkeep of .he soil, a deâ€" cided weakness in organic matter will develap. 3. In soil Reaction. Conâ€" tinuous cropping will deplete lime from the soil, leaving the soil sour and in an unfit condition for crops to thrive in it. Moreover, as long as it remains sour, good stable manure and fertilizers added to it will not function at their best, All of the foregoing deâ€" fects must be corrected as far as posâ€" sible if largest yields of best quality produce is to be realized. Relative Values of Manure In the early days of Ontario agriâ€" culture,â€" much manure was hauled from the barnyard to the river to rid the farm of this macerial. Farmyard manure is a highly valuable byâ€"product of the livestock farm. When well handâ€" led, it is a prominent carrier of the important plantfoods, nitrogen, phosâ€" phoric acid and potash, A ton of manâ€" ure supplies 10 to 15 lbs. nitrogen; 5 to 9 lbs. phosphoric acid and about 10 lbs. potash. The amount and quality which manure supplies depends upon at least three things: 1. The characâ€" ter and age of anima.; 2. The degree of protection which has been given the manure; 3. The type of feed that has been supplied the animal. Jeff Can Do a Hundred Yards in Nine Growing beef stock reiain most of the bodyâ€"building elements supplied in fodder. The manure of dairy animals supplies relatively the least amount of plantfood in that ‘hese animals are making use of these elements in proâ€" ducing milk, Hogs and sheep produce manure of great value. In order ~f plantfood content, sheep manure carâ€" ries the highest per cent. of nitrogen; poultry manure carries the next highâ€" est per cent. of nitrogen and also the highest supply of phosphoric acid, while sheep manure carries the highâ€" est per cent, of potash. Horse manure is stronger in nitroâ€" gen and potash than .s manure of da cattle. As a rule, manure of young animals is the leas* valuable as a source of plantfood since young ‘owing stock retain the elements of nutrition for the building of. their bodies. Extra protein fed dairy cattle in order to increase milk flow imâ€" proves the quality of manure. This is why the manure of dairy cattle is usually of distinctly higl. value. The manner of storage definitely inâ€"| fluences the value of manure. If it is exposed so that rain and snow wash through it, at least 30% of the nitroâ€" gen and 65% of the potash is lost. When one considers that there are kept on Ontario farms over 4% milâ€" lions of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, the enormous amount of this valuable source of plantfood and soil betterâ€" ment is apparent. Only the manure which i collected from the statles during the period of housing of the livestock, however, can be estimated as an active source, The quality of this manure will depen‘ directly upon the type of handling which is given it. If it is thrown loosely on an open pilc, bacterial action may quickly proâ€" ceed to a point where the manure bo-‘ comes firefanged or burft in the cenâ€" ter of the pile. This fireâ€"fanging lib erates nitrogen in the form of amâ€" monia and destroys much of the râ€" ganic matter, Losses will occur w. . ary method of handling but when one weighs the cost of increased labour necessary to take the manure out all at once in the spring, against the loss from exposure in continuous applicaâ€" tion, it is considered good business to remove the manure to the field daily or at least weekly. If the soil is well supplied with organic matter, especialâ€" 1y if it has been fall plowed, topâ€"dressâ€" ing during winter will afford a profitâ€" able means of handling of manure. Investigations in England indicate that where the rainfall exceeds 35 inches during the period of nonâ€"gtowth manure should be applied to potatoes and root crops, corm, etc., especially if the soil is of a light character. Where there is less rain, say 20 inches or less during the period of nonâ€" growth, winter application can be made with good results. Much study has been given to the , value of manure stored in manure pm| which retain the liquid manure. Liquid | manure is a rich carrier of nitrogen ; and potash and should at no time be , allowed to seep away from the manure , heap. It should be absorbed in the litter and the pile kept sufficiently compact so that as little ammonia will escape from the manure pile as po-‘ sible. Rothamsted Experimental Su-l tion investigated the question of shelâ€" ter for the manure pit. When 10 tonl! of manure from a sheltered manure pit was applied to potatoes, a yield of 9 tons potatoes per acre was hnrvent-l ed, When an equal amount of manâ€" ure from an uncovered pit was npâ€"! plied to the same area, the yleld was | 7.4 tons per acre. ‘ How to Save the Nitrogen As has already been pointed out: there is always a tendency to loss of. ammonia as decomposition goes on in the stored manure. In hot weather this is easily discernible, This loss of ammonia or nitrogen can to a large extent be prevented by sprinkling superphosphate on, the stable floor at the time the stalls are cleaned out daily. An application of % to % lb. per head per day will go a long way toward fixing the escaping ammonia or nitrogen in the form of sulphate of ammonia, hence will increase the value of the manure. Manure carries an insufficient amount of phosphoric acid to make it a first class fertilizer for grain crops, hence the addition of superphosphate will not only accompâ€" lish the retention of the nitrogen but will build up the manure in phosâ€" phoric acid general value Farm manure gives its most active help to crops supplied with extensive root systems such as corn, cereals and meadow grasses. Fairly well rotâ€" ted manure is also of great value to root crops. Turnips benefit by a slightâ€" ly higher supply of phosphoric acid tha1. is provided by manure. Hence the turnip field which has been manâ€" ured should receive an additional apâ€" plication of superphosphate if best balance of plantfood for the turnip crop is to be provided. Well rotted manure supplies a valuable ration for potatoes and mangels. On the lighter gravelly loam or sandy loam soils where potatoes thrive, the addition of manure not only supplies plantfood but gives to the soil the power to catch and hold water and plantfood in solution, In the early agriculture of the counâ€" try the value of manure was not realâ€" ized. Too frequently this valuable byâ€" product was removed from the farm. Our modern farmer has learned by practical experience and from scienâ€" tific facts established by long time exâ€" periments that the manure pile is one of the most important assets on the farm. It should at all times receive the care which science has shown to be merited by its great value. According to a newspaper report.f Dr. O. L. Fitzsimmons of Delhi, has disposed of his entire crop of sweet potatoes at the satisfactory price of $2.50 per bushel. _ This speaks well: for the quality otf Norfolkâ€"grown sweet potatoes and as they become more widelyâ€"known they should disâ€" place imported sweet potatoes to a great extent. Dr. Fitzsimmons has made a start which will doubtless be followed by other farmers of the district this coming season. He did not wax wealthy this year as the initial investment makes the first year the hardest, but in the seasons ahead ho should profit liberally in the branch of agricultural industry which he introduced in Canada.â€" (Simcoe Reformer.)

Dr, Robert Bridges, his immediate predecessor, was eightyâ€"six when he passed on. The age of his three immediate predecesâ€" sors in the officeâ€"Alfred Austinf Tonâ€" nyson and Wordsworth â€" averaged eighty. But the record of age among laureates is held by the actormanagzger Colly Cibber, who died in 1758 at the age of eightyâ€"seven, although goodness knows who called him a poet. we read in a London newspaper that there were a dozen and more of these agreeable resorts throughout the city "There is at this time a Turkish drink, sold in almost every street, call ed Coffee, and another kind of drink called Tea, and a drink called Choce late, which is a very hearty drink," In the churchyard of Kingstone, in Dorsetshire, is the grave of a smug gler. He was shot in an encountel with revenue officers in the days when tea smuggling was almost as popular as rumâ€"running is to«day. "His epiâ€" taph shows how his family, friends and neighbors felt about his taking of#f," chuckles Miss Repplier. HMere it is: "To the memory of Robert Trotman, late of Rowd, in the county of Wilts, who was barbarously murdered on the shore near Poole, the 24th of March, 1765.

Isaac D‘Israeli‘s "Curiosities ol 1.tâ€" erature," was first issued in six volâ€" umes containing over half a million words. It took him fortyâ€"three years to write. The first volume appeared in 1791;, and the sixth and last, in 1834, Following D‘Israeli‘s death in 1849, his famous son Benjamin, the great states man and novelist, edited a new edition of it which has lasted down to the pre sent, when Edwin Valentine Mitcheli has boiled down the six volumes into one, until now it is all meat. Recalling the honors paid to poets in the early state of poetry, D‘lsrael} relates an anecdote of Margaret of Scotland, wife f the Dauphin ol France, and Alain the poet. "The person of Alain was repulsive," he says, "but his poetry attracted her affections. Passing through one of the halls of the palace, she saw him sleep ing on a bench; she approached and kissed him. Some of her attendants could not conceal their astonishment that she should press with ber lips those of 4 man so frightfully ugly. The amiable princess answered smiling, ‘I did not kiss the man, but the mouth which has uttered so many fins things‘." "Who is not charmed with that fins expression of her postical sensibility *" asks D‘lsraeli. Violet Hunt‘s brilliant biograph» "The Wife of Rossetti" gives a favor ite Rossotti story. While engaged in painting the now famous reredos at Liandaff Cathedral, Rossetti took se long over them that the Dean and Chapter became weary of waiting, es pecially as replies to letters sent Rosâ€" setti concerning them were not forthâ€" coming.. So one day the Bishop Lianâ€" daff being in London, called at Rosâ€" setti‘s rooms in Blackfriars to ask to gee thent, and thus discover the reason of their nonâ€"arrival and of the paintâ€" er‘s silence. But the maid who opened the door there at once informed him that Rosâ€" setti was absent, and on hearing what the Bishop had come about, she exâ€" claimed : "Oh, lor‘, sir, Mr. Rossetii d paint nowâ€"he‘s married! . Someone once asked Rossetti how he managed to get such lovely models â€"the loveliest of all being the tragic Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall, "the Blessâ€" ed Damozel" who after years of weary waiting became his wife, "Well," said he, "often on a wel day I stand at the window watching the passersâ€"by, and if 1 chance to see a beautiful creature I rush out and say, I‘m a painter; I want you to sit to me.‘ Sometimes they scream rush in and slam the door." James Stephens, "‘e ‘li'h poel an author of ‘The Cy6ck of Gold," telis c’ meeting & «@oman at a reception in Dub",, who could not remember the title of his book, but fts association suggested "Money" to her, and that brought ‘Hard Cash" to mind, though she had forgotten that Charles Reade was its author, So she remarkes, "Oh Mr. Stephens, I‘m delighted to meot you. I did so enjoy your book ‘Hard Cash‘." "Thank you, ma‘am," he ans wored through the merost shadow o a grin; "and how did you "!ke m: ‘Uncle Tom‘s Cabin‘*" then 1
