as an article of diet. Only the tough.
hairy skins are used. these being plac-

they shrink and blacken This particu-

siderable numbers throughout the
country. Often an army Of them may
be seen crawling up tree trunk. each

CANADA'S
 MAGNITUDE

Canada is SYNONYMOUS with big ness It Is three times larger, says the Prince Rupert Empire, than the United States. including Alaska; it would make thirty Great Britains: 1t Is equal to onethrd the enu.e Brit lsa Empire and almost the size of all Europe. Out of an erea of nearly 4,O0O, O,OOO square miles close to ooo.- OO0 are yet unexplored It is often said ol the United States that with S5,0oO.0 population they are still young. What shall be said of country greater in extent with fewer than 5000 900 inhabitants? Some one has said that Canada begins with the 20th century in the position the United States were in at the begin ning of the 18th" By which it is meant. Of course. in respect to its marvellous resouroes which have as yet hardly been touched, Canada's adyantage, however. iR the situation described, lies n the fact that it stands on the threshold of a wonder t,A future with all the mistakes or the United States to guide it, We ought indeed to be proud of the maple leaf.

There Is more Catarh In this sec ton of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be ineurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with lo7 cal treatment, pronounced it incur able. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease, therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in do- ses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circular and testimonials.

H. H. ROGERS
 MAR CLOUD

T. II. Rogers. son of the late stand ard Ol tnaneler. whose hobby is the study of military affairs, has just returned to New York from a long 1 trip of observation in the army cen ters of France and Germany lie brought home with him the unpleas- ant prediction that Japan will proyoha a war with the United States some time before the Panama Canal is opened for business. This is not on ly the belief of NIr Rogers, but the consensus of opinion, he says, of the military men he met during his visit Of seven months abroad
 Nr Rogers is Captain in the Tweuty-second Regiment of National Guard of New York. While abroad he talked with officers of the lowest ranks to the highest. and found them all of the belief that the United Stat , would be dragged into a war with Japan, and that the United States would be badly beaten in the fight
 Summing up what he had gIeaued abroad, Mir. Rogers says:
 They have a high regard in Europ for the strength and the clever fight ing ability Of our navy, and so have Jle Japanese. but they look upon our army as a joke The foreign military men say 1t is too small to be of any use Japan is not anxious to get in- to a war with Us just now while a great war debt is hanging over her, but she is making a desperate effort to pay 1t off quickly, and win make loals again to carry her through a light with us.
 The control of the Pacific is be tween her and the United States, and she means to get iJ. Notwithstanding an this recent peace talk in Japan, rha, nation is going to strike. and strike before the Panama Canal is opened
 The United States has a good in- unuy. but it Is not prepared for war. !, is my ambition to see this country adequately so prepared. In the first place We have not enough trained men Co put into che field We have not nearly enough mobiuzius stations,
 There is no question but that Ihe Japanese could land 20o.000 trained fighting men on the Pacific Coast be fore We could. and unless We under take to establish a good biz standing army quickly, We will be beaten in an engagement with the Japahese. Another important shortcoming that must not be overlooked is the fact that we are using war tactics 200 years old.
 We heed the universal military service We should have a compuE sOry service Ot three years for young mel"

FOR THE CONTRIBUTION BOX
A Convenient Arrangement for Giving
Early and Often in Use in a
Greek Church.

A custom among attendants of the
Greek church at Trebizond explains
the use of certain tokens which have
been presented to the American Num-
ismatic society.
According to the Journal of the So
ctety sometimes several collections
are made during the service in these
churches. Even should there be but
one, the visitor may desire to make a
special contribution at the shrine or
picture of some of the saints whose
intercession he desires to secure, or
he may wish to purchase a candle for
use in some of the ceremonials in
public or private devotions.
On entering the church, therefore,
he exchanges a certain sum of money
with the deacon at the gate for an
equivalent amount of these tokens.
He is thus able to respond to the calls
for the various offerings during the
service or to deposit his gift at the
shrine Of the saint by using one or
more of these tokens as he may be
disposed, yet without any heavy de-
mand on his purse. These church
tokens are sometimes of brass and

son News.

During a period Of political agitation
a stranger arrived in M~agdeburg,
where, on applying to the authorities.
he obtained a permit or ticket of resi-
dence. He had not been long in the
town before he became aware that his
steps were being logged by a man in
blue uniform. He bore it for days,
but at last said to the spy: "Sir, do
you wish to drive me mad? Why do
you pursue me in this way?" Il am a
detective, and my instructions are not
to lose sight of you," was the quiet
answer. Why, what fault have the
police to find with me?" shouted the
stranger in the greatest excitement;
my passport is in order, here is my
ticket of residence; l am a citizen OF
Berlin; why do you follow me about?'
1T states in your passport" was the
reply, that you were going to reside
here for pleasure; that looks suspi-

DATES FROM FEUDAL TIMES
Rod Used In Driving Oxen Is the
Original Of Present System Of
Land Measurement.

The origin Of the rod, pole or perch
as a lineal and superficial measure
has been traced to the rod, pole or
goad used to urge and direct a team
OF oxen pulling a plow. So it came
1t was used as a convenient and
handy lane measure in feudal times
by the lords in allotting plots of land
for agricultural purposes to the vii
le1ns and others, says a writer in the
Builders Journal.
One rod wide and 40 long q. e., one
furrow long, deep built up a quarter
OF an acre. The furlong, or o u poles
wide and same depth. e., 40 poles.
one acre-was a convenient length
for a furrow before turning the pillow.
OF course these lengths somewhat
varied in different parts of the coun-
try where soils and agriculture varied,
but gradually the slight variations
grew less and finally the present &C.
cepted statutory acre was evolved.
Gunter's chain of Sc feet (ten
square chains to the acre. was in
vented by Rev. Edmund Gunter 1581-
1920. He was a professor of as
tronomy at Gresham college, Lon
don, and ingeniously adapted it to IA
cilitate decimal calculations in land
measurements. The use of rod in SUI
perficial measurements OF brick work
and l~ineally in hedges, bitches and
fences followed as a convenient exist
I'M measure.

Another Characteristic Thing.

1t is characteristic of the Var
damanites that while magnani-
mously defending the democracy
of Burkitt and other late popu-
lites, and vOuching for them, they
are particularly fond of question
ing the democracy of the so-called
Cleveland Democrats.
There is no comparison honestly
to be made between the demOcra-
CIV of Gen. Catchings, or Mr..
Kyle or Mr.. Percy, and that of
any late populite. The former
stuck to the party ever when dis
agreeing with it's then policy.
They even refused to conceal their
beliefs, althO it cost them office
and honors, The others left the
party and for years fought it with
more bitterness than they fought
the Republican party. Yet Tom
Watson's good friend and his
friends are vastly kinder to the
populites.
There is a reason for this. A
fellow feeling makes us won,
drOus kind.
