Scott Relics at Abbotsford,

The present estate Of Abbotsford was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms, the first
one purchased bearing the 'tinharmo-
NOUS designation" CLARITY Hole. After
Sir Walter SCOTS death in 1884 COM
mittee Of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption of the estate, and

fore by the creditors. AS his son,
Lieutenant Colonel w. Scott, died on
his way home from India, the prop
erty descended to ]. r. Lockhart, his
son in-law, and thence to his daugh-
ter's husband, J. r. Hope-Scott, whose
daughter held the estate for some
years. Many Scott relics are preserv-
ed in the house. notably his chair and
writing table in the study and his hat
and gloves in the hall.-London Stand

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell all extraordi-
nary story Of the impassiveness of
Louis XVIII. When he was minister
Of foreign affairs a courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication Of it to the king till
next morning, when he explained that
he was afraid the tidings might have
disturbed his majesty's sleep. The
king replied: Nothing disturbs my
sleep, as you may see from this in
stance. The most dreadful blow Of
my life was my brothers death The
courier who brought this dreadful
news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even
ing For many hours I was quite
overcome. but at midnight l went to
bed and slept my usual eight hours"

Mercury and tho Sun.

The distance Of Mercury from the
gun varies owing to the eccentricity OF
its orbit. When he is nearest to the
sun he receives ten and half times
more light and heat than we do, but
when he removes to his greatest dis
lance the light and heat are reduced by
more than one-half. Even then, how
ever. the sun blazes in the skies OF
Mercury with disk four and half
times larger than that which he shows
to us on earth.

BOY SCOUTS.

The boy scout movement, so popu-
lar in England, and which aims to de-
velop patriotism, discipline, courage,
thrift, helpfulness and cheerfulness
in boys is described by Francis Buz-
zell in an illustrated article in the
August Popular Mechanics. He says;
"As the boy scout movement in
America is to be patterned after that
in England, it is we'll to >&ye a gen.
eral idea of the kind of organization
it is and how the boys are being de-
veloped.
THE general organization, and the
symbolism of the scout movement
are essentially military, but the
strict military discipline, and especial
ly the routine of incessant military
drill, are almost entirely lacking.
General Baden-Powell, chief scout of
all the boys in the British Empire,
appoints scout commissioners to Or
ganize branches, inspect scout corps,
and help scout masters. This work
of organization is done through scout
councils, composed of leading citizens,
representatives from other local or
CARNATIONS, among whom are parents,
school teachers and others interested
in work among bows.
"The scout master is the officer in
charge of troop of two or more pa
trolls, and must be of the age of TWEEN
ty years or upwards. The patrol is
the "Unit" and consists of six to eight
boys under the immediate charge,
while on duty, of patrol leader, who
is elected or appointed for year.
"The scout recruit is received as a

tenderfoot, passes to the degree Of
second-class scout, and finally becomes
a first-class scout. Only frst-class
scouts are appointed patrol leaders
or scout masters"
The scout oath and the scout law
are as follows
On my honor l promise that l
will do my best to do my duty to God
and my country; to help other people
at all times; and to obey the scout
law"
Scout Law: IA scouts honor is
to be trusted. "A scout is loyal to
his country, his parents and his emf
ployers. "a scouts duty is to be
useful and helpful to others, and he
must try to do at least one good turn
to somebody every day. A scout
is friend and brother to every wor-
thy scout, no matter TO what social
class the other belongs. 5-A scout
is courteous to all. GA scout is a
friend to animals. "A scout obeys
the orders of his parents, his teach
ers, his scout master, and patrol lead

SEN. M'CUMBER'
BILL FINDS FAVOR.
SENATOR DIVERSION OF WILLIS
TON URGES PASSAGE OF BILL
EXTENDING TIME OF
49, PAYMENT.

Washington, Feb. 28.-W. b. Over
son OF Williston. N. D.. is in Wash.
ington urging the enactment of the bill
introduced last week by Senator Nc
Cumber, postponing the time of pay
ment for water rights on the Williston
irrigation projects. He has placed the
proposition before the secretary of the
interior and finds that officials OF that
department are not disposed to place
any obstacles in the way of the passage
of the McCumber bill.
The settlers on the Williston pro-
jecN Wad also the lower Yellowstone
AT Word Trenton projects in North
Dakota and Montana have been unable
to develop their holdings sufficiently to
produce paying crops, and we would
like to have the payments.for the water
rights postponed for couple of years,
in order that they may get on their
feet" said Mr.. diversion tonight.
Senator McCumber's bill is a flop
in the right direction. 1t provides that
the first payment in construction shall
not be made until 1912, when 1t will be
81 an acre in addition TO maintenance
charge OF 81 an acre for that year.
In succeeding years, the settlers under
the terms OF this bill will be required to
pay $3.50 an acre, construction and
maintenance charge.
Just at present the interior depart
ment is anxious to have the money
expended on all projects come back into
the treasury as fast as possible, but
the passage of a bill authorizing the
issue of $50, O0O, 900 reclamation certif-
Gates will so ease up the situation as
to permit the postponement OF the date
OF the first payment on many of the
irrigation projects.
