ADril DAYS.

april Jays.
In these tickle days Of April, half In smiles
and half in tears,
With their memories of winter, barely
gone,
While beside the swollen runnel In the
tender grass appears
All the vanguard Of the summer trooping
on;
There are flowers fair to see,
Dainty sweets to tempt the bee,
Joys to wake the gladstone singing of the
birds;
What that beauty is to me,
What the flood of harmony,
Lies beyond the power of music and of
words!
Now the soft and tender sunlight on the
spring heritage lies
AS smile upon sleeping 5aby's face,
And anon the darkening shadow over hill
and valley flies,
And the tears of April water all the place;
In the shining of the sun
Flowers open one by one,
Thrushes brown and red-winged black
birds fall asleep
Let the trailing clouds sweep Ger,
AL the birds will sing once more
Can we know in April when to laugh or
weep?

POSTAGE STAMPS.

A Nova Scotia paper prints an ex.
tract from speech made by Premier
Murray, in which he states that the gov.
eminent has received $4,000 from the
sale of postage stamps.
A new issue of stamps was ordered in
Japan, but up to the first of the year not
any of the supplies had arrived, and a
provisional issue was necessary by the
adoption of the new rates.
There is a man in Chicago who has
made money in stamps. Twenty years
ago he began to collect stamps, and his
stock finally amounted to more than
100000. Last month he bought the
Burton house, Hurley, Wis. for $4,000,
of which $1,000 was paid in cash, and
the balance in stamps-the 100000
aforesaid.

FOGGY FACTS,

Fog to sailors and travellers is fire.
quently source of annoyance and dan
ger. Whether vapor condenses as fine
Scotch mist or coarse black fog is large
ly determined by the dust. If we can
remove the dust from the air we have
removed the nuclei of condensation"
Five methods for removing dust have
been suggested-fltration, settling, re-
condensing, oalcining and electrifica-
ton. The last-named is thought to con-
tain the greatest possibilities and the
day is probably near at hand when cleo
trio fog-dispellers will be placed on
ships, ferry boats and at all terminal
depots and crowded thoroughfares.
1t is known that fogs may form in
three different ways-first, when the
air has been cooled by rapid radiation;
second, when the cooling results from a
mixture of different air currents, and,
third, where a cooling has been caused
by an uplifting of the air. The sea
fogs come from difference of tenn
perature between the water and the air.
Coast fogs are caused by damp air from
the sea passing over the cooler land, or
are formed at sea, when there is some
great area of high pressure.
In California last year large quanti-
ties of fruit were saved by a process
known as bodybuilding" The newest
and most effective method of prevent
ing frost consists in the introduction of
large amounts of moisture in the vapor-
Gus state. when this vapor condenses,
or, IN other words, when the fog Is
formed, an enormous amount of heat is
given off, generally at the very height
at which 1T is most needed. Fog and
frost both occur when the skies are
clear and little or no air is stirring"

Lighthouse in a Church,

A large-sized and perfect model of
lighthouse was built inside the parish
church of ST. Mary's, at Whitkirk, not
far from Leeds. 1t was erected as the
most fitting monument to the memory
Of the eminent civil engineer, John
Smeaton, one of whose greatest works
was the erection of the Eddystone
lighthouse. The lighthouse is built
within the chancel, and the rock on
which it stands bears the inscription:
SIN memory of John Smeaton." When,
in 1921, Abbott Simeon rebuilt the Nor

in the form of an octagon, he crowned

FARM FACTS.

Even half dozen sheep are better
than none, as they will keep down the
weeds and prevent the farm from being
seeded with such pests.
Farmers who sowed crimson clover
last fall will have an excellent fertiliz-
ing material for blowing under. No
heterogeneous fertilizer will be required
where crimson clover has grown, but
applications of phosphates and potash
will be beneficial. They cost but small
sum, however, compared with the sub
stances containing nitrogen.
Do not ridicule or discourage the
progressive farmer because Of his 30
called fancy farming" proclivities.
The fact that he is not satisfied with
what he has demonstrates that he Is
enterprising and Ia reaching out for
something better. Observe all that he
does, as he may succeed where you have

tire community, as without such there
would be no improvement at all.

Saturday Night.

The days Of the week may be dreary,
Its hours drag heavy and dull,
But when the soul strives and grows weary.
There comes to its passions lull.
A peace that dispenses blessing
Floats down like a halo of light.
A mantle of love and caressing
Enfolds US on Saturday night.
Take heart for that evening Of promise.
When father Is home from his work,
When the children with laughter go from
US
To brighten an atmosphere murk.
When the streets of the city are golden.
Its clamor and jar delight,
When new hopes our spirits embolden,
Oh. blessed be Saturday night.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Keep suckers from growing around
the base of the trees.
There is no necessity for any kind of
shade in the garden.
The time to shape the heads of the
trees is when they are young.
In selecting trees take those with o
smooth, healthy-looking bark, with
small fibro1 roots.
If trees are planted for wind-break
care should be taken to have them of a
close-growing habit.

SOME EMINENT MODELS.


All the artists who have made pic
lures or statues of Ada Rehan unite in
saying she is one of the most satisfac-
tory models on record.
Susan B. Anthony was a patient
model until the portrait painter tried
to draw her out on the question of the
suffrage of women.
The most remarkable model who ever
sat to the sculptor, ]. S. Hartley, was
Irving Morris, the actor. He sat for a
figure in group to be called "The Card
Players" to oblige Hartley and would
hold his pose for an hour at time.
More than once Hartley got tired ahead
of his obliging sitter.
Judge Noah Davis was the despair OF
painter who had to put his portrait
on canvas, until the artist thought to
speak to the jurist about Conkling
Then Davis frightened up, began to
talk about the great stalwart, and the
artist was made perfectly happy by the
change in the expression Of the sitter'l
face.

It is said that musicians who play
entirely upon the piano preserve, il
they do not acquire, a luxuriant growth
of hair. On the other hand, wind instru-
ments, especially the cornet and the
trombone, are fatal to hirsute adorn-
ment. The violoncello and the harp are
favorable to the preservation of the
hair, but the flute cannot be depended

TO MAKE A HEDGE QUICKLY.

quickly-growing vines are planted,
which soon cover the wire with mass
OF green that becomes more and more
dense and beautiful each succeeding
year if the proper sort of vines Is
used. The proper Sort" in the
writer's estimation, would include our
common woodbine. 1t is a quick
grower and it's foliage is remarkably
handsome, both in the green state and
when touched by autumn frosts.
There are many other vines, however,
that would answer admirably for this
purpose, so that all tastes can be
suited. Such hedge needs only such
annual clippings as will suffice to keep
the vines growing evenly all over the
wire-as thickly in one place as in an
other. Cedar stakes should be used
and carefully set in making such
hedge, since once made and covered
with black growth of vines, it, will
be inconvenient to make inferior re-
pairs, though stakes can, of course, be
driven down through the netting II

Advice,

When your biz has dropped to zero,
With the prospects looking blue;
When your cash drawer is filed with cob
webs,
Lot of bills a-coming due,
And grim Ruin comes to greet you
With his hard and hungry eyes,
Scrape together your last ducats-
It's the time to advertise!
Then again when trade is picking
Up, and everything seems bright,
And your creditors shake gladly
With satisfied delight,
Keep your ads. a-running steady,
Do not let their good work stop,
For you don't know just what minute
Your concern may take drop.
