Future Of Aviation.

Very different are the views held
by prominent aviators as to what po-
sition the science OF mechanical flight
will have attained five years hence.
In the opinion Of Captain Ferber.
who is one OF the keenest pioneers
of aviation In France, the aeroplane
will at that time be able to carry
four or five people with e1se, and
there will be a regular service OF ma
chimes between Dover and Calais, as
well as between other ports where
the distance is not of great length.
Closed accommodation will be pro-
vided on board these machines. which
are to be of such size that their
use will be debarred where the
space Is limited. Other opinions are
much less hopeful as regards the COM
mercial side Of the aeroplane's pos.
sibilities, and. according to Mr.. Maui
rice Farman, the flying machine will
for long time to come be reserved
Tor the use of the intrepid sports
men. The Comte de Castillon de
Saint-Victor likewise thinks that the
carrying capacity Of the aeroplane will
always be limited, but its speed will
increase.-New York American.

Irving Bachelor in leading the hero

a fellow companion, en- route to be-

train. and, being fearful to enter
without car-fare, stood outside. The
train roared and creaked along, and
the platform, narrates Mr.. Bachelor,
began to sway and jump and shove
and jerk and waver. Just then a
brakeman passed through, and swung
his lantern where the boys eyes could
see the picture of a grave on the
car door. Its headstone bore these

The March of Men.

(By Charles Buxton Going)
X you could cast away the pain.
The sorrows and the tears,
And let the joys alone remain
From all departed years;
II you could quite forget the signs
And recollect the song
What think you: would you be as
wise,
AS helpful, or as strong?
II you could lay the burden down
That bows your head at whites.
Shun everything that wears a frown,
And live a life of smiles
Be happy as child again,
As free from thoughts of care
Would you appear to other men
More noble or more fair1
All, no, a man should do his part
And carry all his load,
Rejoiced to share with every heart
The roughness of the road.
Not given to thinking overmuch
OF pains and griefs behind,
But glad to be in fullest touch
With all his human kind.
From Star Glow and Song.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or
Inventions rs always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words. before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results. He knew that
the soft gray substance In brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts. the now famous
food. II contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen In a marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making II a pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is In no sense a
but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming, and being |
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory II is served instantly with
,ream.

spoken of. c. w. Post. is to be seen
