There are sufficient people in Eng

tax imposed by the inland revenue up
on the use of armorial bearings to pro-
duce a sum of $350,000 each year. The
great bulk of this sum is paid by peo-
pie who care not an atom either about
their family of their arms, but pay the
tax regularly simply because they have

THE FALL HUNTING
Open Season for Partridg e
and Ducks opens on Sept
ember LIST.

The hunting season this fall
gives promise of being one of
the best in years for partridge
and ducks, and the hunters of
this vicinity are already prepar-
ing for the shooting which be-
gins on September 1st. Guns
are being cleaned up, dogs train
ed and boats painted and tn g
hunters are getting ready for
the opening of the season.
The hunters report that the
game is very plentiful this fall
on account of the dry weather,
and although the grouse will be
protected this year, they say
there will be plenty of partridge
and ducks to hunt. Those who
have visited the feeding grounds
for ducks say that the wild rice
which was planted a few years
ago by the sportsmen's league
is doing fine and that there will
be plenty of feeding in the
marshes and small lakes for the
webbed footers.
The game laws for this fall for
ducks will be the same this year
as last. Shooting before sun
rise and after sunset is not per
mitted although this robs the
hunter of his chance of shooting
mallards, as the only time they
come into the marsh is at dusk
after sunset and they leave again
in the dawn before the sun
rises.
The principal things to be
observed by the hun ters are:
have hunting license with you;
90 not SnOOG before sunrise Or
after sunset; do not shoot before
the season opens; and do not
use more than As decoys, each
Of which must be marked with
your own initials. In bringing
home game a hunter may have
50 birds in his possession but
not all Of one kind. The limit
on ducks is thirty, but the law
permits hunter to have mixed
bag OF fifty birds provided that
he does not exceed the limit ON
any one species.

HOW WE ARE FORMED.
A Few of the Many MarveIs of the HUI
man Body.

A Few of the Many Marves of the HUI
man Body.
l,n an average mans body there are
34D,O 900 hairs. Plucking one every Sec
Ond it would take him twelve eight
hour working days to pull them all out.
In his blood there are 25,0OO0OO ,O00, 900
red corpuscles. Laid out side by side
they would cover a surface of 3,130
square yards.
The whole of the blood passes through
a mans heart nearly twice in every
minute. 1t weighs One-thirteenth of
the entire body weight, and 1t moves
in different parts of the body at speeds
varying from ten feet to 1866 yards
(nearly one mile) an hour.
The fat Of your body is fluid. 1t be-
comes solid only when the body cOOlS
after death. 1t is one Of your most
useful constituents, forming nOncOn-
Quoting sheath to protect you from
cold, acting as pads to preserve from
shock on the tips of the fingers, the
toes and the heels and lying always
ready as reserve food supply when
you can get nothing to eat.
A little artery passes from your brain
through the skull into the scalp, which
acts as safety valve when the brain
is congested with blood.
The skin cannot grow again once
it is destroyed; hence the unsightly
scars left by burns and severe wounds.
Only the surface layer can renew
itself. When the whole thickness is de-
stroyed, it never reforms. This is the
more curious as muscles, nerves, blood
vessels and bones, all less liable to in
jury than the skin, can grow again.
You are really water rather than
land animal Although as a whole
you live on dry land, your body con-
sists of countless millions of separate
living particles, and these are all i'm
mersed In the water which constitutes
four-fifths Of your substance.
Within the inner part of your ear,
deep in the bone, is a quantity of fluid
which acts as spirit level and enables
you to keep your balance.-ChicagO

Where Eperies. the picturesque Hul

beautiful gardens and fruited fields
there was at the time of King Bella IL.
nothing but thick wilderness. Once
this blind and unhappy sovereign was
travelling in his realm. 1t was hot,
sultry summer day, and while search
ing for shady spot in which to rest
he became lost Deadly tired in con-
sequence of his long wandering. he
asked his attendants for drink Of
water They seated him on the soft,
green grass in the cool shade of big
old trees. and then the cavaliers sep
arated to hunt for n refreshing spring.
Meanwhile the king wanted to lind
out more about his resting place and
began to grope about him with his
hands. Thus he discovered strawber-
ries growing all about him, says the
New York Herald. He ate them; so,
partly quenching his, thirst. he waited
quietly for his gentlemen. After a
short time they returned. some with
empty cups, some with pearly spring
water.
The king then said to his attendants:
.'Have the trees cut down around this
place where my hands found the re-
freshing Strawberries. Here shall rise
town whose name shall be Eperies
strawberry in remembrance of this
day for all time"
AS the king commanded so it was.
The wilderness was cleared, and in its
place is a town whose arms carry the
stra wberry even today.
