FIND HUMAN FOOTPRINTS
IN PREHISTORIC FORMATION

Toronto, Dec. 16.--ThirtyEseven
feet down in the blue clay under To
ronto Bay workmen in the water
works tunnel have found human
footprints. This find was made in
inter-glacia1 clay supposed to have
been deposited from $4,000 to 1907
600 years ago. Remains Of burnt
wood have been discovered IN. inter-
glacial clay in the Don Valley, but
nowhere in America have traces Of
human beings been found Of such
apparent antiquity. w. II. Cross
described the discovery as follows:
ut looked like a-trail There
were over hundred footprints You
could follow one man the whole way.
There was a single print Of child's
foot three and half inches long.
All the footprints toed in. You
could see the hollow between the
ball and the heel in many or them,
and they were ali made with mecca
sined feet. 81.
I'VE tried to get q piece Of, the
blue clay up, but lC was very soft and
always broke" ,+ INK.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit OF White Lead
on a piece OF charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against il and
see what il will do. If it is pure
White Lead. little drops OF bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pIetely reduced to one globule OF metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens Of other so
called White Leads and o be able
to reduce one OF them to lead, IL they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, 1t is clear that some
adulterant Is present.
IL you should have your painting
done with such materials. nc matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request q blowpipe free TO
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

Boston's Vocation Bureau.

IIOul the bOSlOil lldilSIIlpNs
The vocation bureau is not merely
proposed: it is in actual existence today
and in successful operation. Its eXecu-
tive office is at that we'll known social
experiment station, Civic Service house,
Salem street, with branch offices at the
Young Mems Christian association and
at the Woman's Educational and In
dustrial union. Already. in its first
month, it has done good service for a
number of young people.
This new institution is to help such
people TO decide what occupation they
are best adapted to and how TO tit
themselves for it. The basic idea is
that the choice of a career should be
carefully, and, so far as possible, scien-
tifically, determined-that is TO say, de-
termined after a full consideration OF
the conditions, aptitudes, resources,
ambitions, aspirations or lack of them,
and the limitations of Zach individual.
Toe many people are fixed in life by
haphaZard and merely temporary cir
cumstances. The consequences of al
lowing youths on first leaving school to
drift about earning a few dollars for
the family chest now at one sort Of
Office work and the next month at an
other kind Of job, are recognized as
constituting a distinct and widespread
evil, at the bottom of much of the un-
employment which is complained Of at
all great centers of population on both
sides Of the Atlantic. AS the vocation
bureau argues, no one would think of
building without a we'll considered plan
and consultation with an architect; and
in building a human career at least as
much planning should be required as in
building a house. At least the counsel
OF a wise and kind expert in social
studies is preferable for the young to
the drifting into any calling as the re-
suit of chance, proximity or unin-
formed selection.

TIE
General Demand

Of the Well Informed OF the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable TO the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits OF the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup o. Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.

tornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial stress Make Farm
Lands Look Rich.

Lands LOOK Htcn.
A stan contributor OF a Southern
newspaper has taken up the question
OF the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter OF the
city. He says: 1T is a well-known fact
that the history Of this government
shows that those men who have been
most successful in life and who have
left their impress upon its people and
its institutions as statesmen. soldiers.
inanciers, have as a rule been those
whose youth vas spent on the farm,
and it is to such as these that there
comes with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does 1t come with redoubled persuasive
ness, greater power and sweeter plead
ing to the man of affairs when the
clouds of financial unrest begin TO dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people to lose their wits and act
like stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises be-
fore him the specter OF ruin. g~rlnning

IN threatening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent fnan-
clal furry, which happily is now pass
were ruined and ii very few became in
sane because of their losses. Two or
three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come
that the statesman, the great hnan-
cier, and the man of affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
his pen, tIrns from his desk and
listens TO THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases through
out the United States Of those who
have money III the banks and are look
ing for investment In lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance. the lands In West
ern Canada that can be bought
at from $40 to SIS per acre
which yield a revenue equal TO and
often greater than their original cost.

ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made, some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes OF their
own, others TO resell to farmer
friends. The agents of the government
of Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars OF districts
in which there are free homestead
grants OF 100 acres, each accessible 10
railways, markets. schools, churches.
etc. These are valuable lands. These
agents will be pleased 10 give informa-
ton TO any DESTROYS Of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates,

A Question Of Names.

From illustrated BITS,
On one occasion, a bishop who prided
himself on ever forgetting either the
name or face Of any clergyman in his
diocese, happened TO be travelling m
where by rail, when, at a certain sta
ton, a clergyman got into the same
carriage in which the bishop was,
The bishop recognized the mans
face, but could not remember his name,
and not wishing to acknowledge his
forgetfulness. leaned forward, and,
with a charming smile, said:
Excuse me for forgetting, but how
do you spell your Nance
"J-o-n-e-s, my lord" was the reply
