Nova Scotia Eelurass.

United States Consul Albert J
Fleming of Yarmouth, N s., reports
that the expectations of eelgrass to
the port of Boston in the latter part
of 1911 We're the largest in the history
of that traffic. the amount in two
months being 237 tons, the gross price
of which was $40 a ton. This practi-
cally cleaned up the crop in the stor-
age barns, but since then large guam
titles were gathered. and, after drying,
the grass was stored to supply the de-
mand during the next season.
Eelgrass Is practically unlimited in
supply in that region, and it is hoped
that larger shipments will be made
in the near future. The principal use
Ia for mats and cheap mattresses. but
the Yarmouth firms who are engaged
in buying from small producers and
marketing the commodity, believe that
the eelgrass can be used In the manu-

Greenland Is Green.

Greenland is green in more ways
than one. It's wonderful miniature
trees are a most beautiful green, and
travellers declare no such color is
found elsewhere in the world. -
Greenland is practically great
group of green mountains covered
with ice that has green tint and
which has formed great icebound gla-
ciers, that are tied between the noun
tain ranges and can be penetrated on
ly by a drill.
Where the sun strikes with suffi-
cient force the ice and snow let go,
and the glaciers, which are called
live" often melt enough to slide and
dash down the mountain, or drop
with an awful force into the inlets.
Very often such glaciers do lot of
damage to shipping that has sought
shelter in bays or inlets.
During the long night period the
country is often illuminated with what
we term northern lights, or aurora
borealis. Without this electrical dis
play, the country would be wrapped
in darkness of peculiar density.

Shoe Dealer Duke.

The story Of how grand duke, a
near relation of the car of Russia,
came to be boot and shoe dealer on
the Nevsky Prospeckt comes from st.
Petersburg. Some time ago woman
from Paris appeared in the Russian
capital, covered with diamonds. 1t
was loudly whispered that this woman
was protege Of the grand duke; that
the money that paid for all this dis
play came out of the admiralty treas
ury and would have paid the crews Of
many ships in the war with Japan.
One evening at reception this wom-
an was hooted and was obliged to
withdraw. The car drove her away
and dismissed the grand duke In dis
grace. His career having thus been
closed he opened the shoe store. Now
: he has been pardoned and restored to
his rank. But his shoe store contin-
ues to do business and all the officers
who are under his orders are wise
enough to patronize it in order not to
put anything in the way of their ad-
vancement.

HEROES IN DAILY LIFE
NOT ALL BRAVE DEEDS ARE DONE
ON FIELD OF BATTLE.
Demand Of Duty Responded to, Ere
quentIy With Sublime Heroism, In
the Common, Every Day Walks
of Humdrum Employment.

While war, in the very nature OF
things. abounds in opportunities for
yalarous exploits, and its every deed
is written large on the page OF MS
tory. the humber and quieter sphere
of private life affords even more and
keener opportunities for the display
of true heroism, writes Gen. II. M.
Chittenden in The Forum. The physl-
clan or nurse who voluntarily goes in
to a plague stricken district, the miner
who braves the fire-damp to rescue
his imprisoned fellows, the crew who
stand at their posts while their YES
sci is sinking, the fireman who scales
a lettering wall to save human lie,
the patrolman who enters den OF
desperadoes at imminent personal
Eisenhower, in the pursuance OF
duty. no matter how humble, subordl-
mates his personal safety to that duty
is as much entitled to the CON-
mendation of heroism as soldier who
does his duty in war can possibly be.
War against physical nature and
ultimate subjugation to the intellectu-
al and spiritual dominion of man, con-
stitute a struggle which will give am
pie scope to the energies OF the race
beyond our remotest ken. We cannot
even guess it's ultimate possibilities;
but so long as there are mountain bar
riers to be overcome, floods to be con-
trolled, deserts and swamps to be re-
claimed; or so long as men are de-
MED equal opportunities, and "preda-
tory wealth" has any other than his
toric meaning, man need not feel that
war is necessary to call forth the
best there is in him.
The age of true heroism, the age OF
| the ideal strenuous life"-when some
philosopher of the distant future shall
write a history of civilization-will
not be that of Alexander or Caesar OF
| Napoleon, but of those later periods
when the energy of the race Is direct
| ed to friendly cooperation instead oil
| bloody conflict or incessant prepare
| ton therefor. 1t will be an age IL
which every virtue of militarism will
| find a higher and fuller expression
while it's manifest vices, and particu
larly the horrors of war, will be laid
aside. Let nations wage all the Pana
ma wars that they like-the more the
better-but let them outgrow as
rapidly as possible their Gravelottes
and Plevnas and Port Arthurs.

General Marion Maus has keen

ICE GETTING THIN.

Individuals or companies that have
apples in storage would do well to
keep close track of the markets and
not be led to hold their stocks too long
for high price. Prices which have
prevailed on retail markets for some
weeks past have been so high as to
greatly reduce consumption of this
fruit. The result Of this situation Is
that the total supply Of apples avail
able is fast approaching the point
where they will be adequate to meet
consumptive demands. 1t follows from
this inevitably that price tendencies
will be downward and not upward
whenever the point mentioned is reach
ed. Should present supplies be kept
In storage for several months longer
the law Of supply and demand would
in all probability tend to operate more
vigorously and prices would tend to
slump more violently. In view Of the
above it would be far better to market
apples in the very near future at good
prices than TO hold them several
months and encounter a serious slump

hand exceeded the demand.
