CANADA HAS 5000 HINDUs
Parliament Of Religions In Chicago at
Worlds Fair Time Started
the immigration.

The present Hindu population Of
Canada numbers about 5000, all men.
for no women are allowed to accom-
pany them to Canada OF to follow
them after they have arrived and set
tied.
These are resident entirely in Brit
ish Columbia and chiefly in the cities
of Vancouver and Victoria and on the
farms in the neighborhood, where they
are industriously employed in the
many forms of manual labor, for
which they appear to have both spe'
cial adaptation and desire.
I am indebted to DR.. Sunder Singh,
the accredited agent for these people
in Canada, for the statement as to how
the eyes of the Hindus were first
turned toward America and Canada
and the first beginnings Of modern
emigration from India were inspired.
He says that the visit of Hindu re-
ligious reformers to the great parlia-
ment of religions which was held in
Chicago in connection with the worlds
fair first aroused these people to an
appreciation of the advantages of occi-
dental civilization and democratic in
stitutions. ~
The educational work carried on
by American missionaries in the high
schools of India also prepared the way
FOR a sowing of good seed in a ready
soil, the fruitage of which turned the
eyes of educated Hindus toward this
new world. Economic conditions in
India furthered a movement of emf
grants to Canada in 1905, when and
continuing until 1907 not a few came
to this country.-Victoria Daily Times.

NATIVE WOODS TO Be USED
0uiIdino by Government Of 'nsu'ar
Lumber Yard At Manila Means
End Of Importation Of Lumber.

Mantla.-The exclusive use OF lur1.
Der grown in the Philippine islands
In the construction Of all buildings
erected by the government will follow
tho completion Of the lumber yard
to be built ear the quartermaster's
reservation by the bureau OF supply.
This was the statement made BY
Major Shields. chief of the bureau OF
supply. Imported lumber has been
used to a great extent in the past ow'
ing to the inability OF native lumber
growers to supply the demand for
seasoned wood. The government pro-
poses to BUY up the entire wood sup
ply of the islands as 500 as It Is
taken from the tree. and store 1t IN
the new lumber yard until 1t has be-
come properly seasoned.
For the first three months follow
ing the completion of the yard. 1t was
stated. the supply of native wood on
hand which had become seasoned dur
ing the construction OF the sheds.
would run short of the demand OF the
government for timber, and imported
woods would be put into use. Fol-
lowing this period. however. native
materials will be used exclusively. as
the lumber yard, which will have a
capacity of over 1000, 900 board feet.
will be filled at all times with timber
In the process of seasoning.
The construction of the new lumber
yard awaits only a final decision on
its site. Plans are in the hands OF
the governor general, however, for It's
location adjacent to the quartermas-
ter's reservation. Upon the approval
of the plans work will be begun m
mediately. More than a dozen sheds
will be constructed 40 meters long
and with a width of l6 meters. They
will season from Is to 90 varieties or
native.grown woods of the first and
second group. which will be held IN
the yards until their construction
qualities are the equal of those of the
best imported materials.

HONEY is VERY WHOLESOME
Real Value 30 Out Of Proportion to
Cost Il Should 20 on Every
Table.

Most suburbanites would keep q lev
hives Of bees II honey values were bet
ter understood. Even when the honey
must be purchased its real value is 30
out Of proportion to its cost that 1t
should be included among the every
day necessities.
Comparatively few housewives use
honey u q substitute for sugar In
baking, but managers Of large baker
les. always on the alert to find the
best and most economical ingredients
to use in their productions. value It
at its true worth, and use 1t in making
their choicest products, because it pro-
vides a variety Of flavor. 1t produces
lighter and finer cakes. and those In
which 1t is used have superior keep
ing qualities.
Honey is in the fat, heat and energy
producing class Of foods.
Many people who do not keep bees
and a few that do conside. honey a
luxury, when If freely used It will save
enough of either butter er sugar to
much more than equal its cost. For
example,: Have a pitcher of strained
honey at hand and as each cake Is
taken from the griddle pour honey
over it and fold like an omelet. The
result will be cakes that will be "sim-
ply delicious" without the use of but
ter-and every housewife knows that
hot cakes call for a great deal Of but
ter when that is used.
Honey has greater sweetening pow
er than sugar and less is needed. In
a sponge cake that would call for q
cupful of sugar three-fourths OF a cup.
full of honey is sufficient. To make
such a cake beat the three-fourths of
a cupful of honey with the yolks Of
three eggs, beat in one cupful Of flour,
q little at a time. then add four table
spoonful Of hot water, and lastly
fold in the stifly beaten whites of the
three eggs. with any flavoring desired.

WONDERFUL SPEED OF BIRDS
Scottish University Collects Some Re-
markable and Interesting Facts
Regarding Migration.

Aberdeen.-The national history Ne-
tachment Of Aberdeen university is
making a comprehensive inquiry as to
the migration OF birds. 1t has adopt
ed the method OF placing rings on
the feet of a large number Of birds In
of the hope of hearing Of subsequent
movements of some proportion OF
them.
This method has demonstrated some
remarkable flights. among them the
following:
A widgeon duckling, one of the five
marked In June, 1909. on Loeb Brora.
Sutherland, Scotland, was taken in a
duck-decoy in Province Gronigen.
northeastern Holland, on September 3.
1909. This bird was thus only three
months old when 1t was found more
than 500 mmiles from its birthplace. A
second member of the brood wal shot
on the Trent near Retford, Lincoln
shire. in January, 1911, having worn
the ring a year and a half.
Five lapwings marked as chicks in
| the northeast Of Scotland. in the sum-
mer OF 1910, were shot respectively
in counties Tipperary. Roscommon.
Cork, and Limerick, Ireland. and in:
southern Portugal. during the winter
1910-1911.
A song thrush, one Of a brood mark
ed as chicks in the nest at Skene. Alb
erdeenshrie, in early June, 1910, was:
shot near Leiria. Portugal. in early No
vember of the same year. The two To-
calities are about 1880 English miles
apart in direct oversee line, and this
thrush made q journey of probably.
more than 1900 miles within the half;
year Of lite life. .
A guilemot. marked as q newly,
Matched chick on the Aberdeenshirs,
cliffs on July II. 1910. was shot on
November 20. 1910. a dozen miles
north of Goethenburg, Sweden. This
bird was then four and one-half months
old when it was killed. more than 500
miles due east of it's birthplace.

END OF OLD GARDEN
Horse Show Last in the Famous
Old Structure.
Foreign Army Officers to Compete
With Those Of Our Establishment
In Riding classes-$4o,ooo
Worth Of Prizes.

New York.-New York's twenty.sev.
enth annual horse show, which opens
November IL. will have more than
usual significance. Tor 1t will be tho
last of these famous gatherings to be
held in Madison Square Garden.
The abandonment of this famous
building marks the passing of many
things written intimately Into the
history of the city, but especially its
loss will be felt by the thousands who
for years have thronged its arena at
the horse shows. While a home a
be found for the show, it will take
some of the older patrons & long time
to accustom themselves to new sur
roundings.
For a sentimental reason, II for
no other, the management Of the Ma
tional Horse Show of America, Lin.
tied. has planned to make the show
of November 1925 more brilliant than
any of it's predecessors in order that
the farewell to the old home literal
ly may be made in a blaze Of glory.
Plans to this end have been under
way for months, and as the day for
the opening approaches it becomes
more and more evident that they will
succeed.
One feature that will contribute
largely to the of the coming
event is the imposing array of prizes,,
their total value being $4,000. Among,
those who have individually and joint
ly offered cups and cash prizes are Al
fred G. Vanderbilt, president of the,
association: j. w. Hartman, Robert
A. Fairbain and Frederick M. Davies.
as we'll as various societies including
the English Hackney society and the
International Horse Show OF London.
Several trophies which must be won
two or three times in order to be
retained by the winner probably will
be won permanently during the COM
ing show. Among these is the $500
gold cup for the best mar or gelding
sired by a stallion registered in the
English Hackney Stud book. The cup
is one offered by the English Hackney
society and must be won three times
to be retained. Both j.. W. Hartman
and Judge Moore have two legs" on
the trophy and one of them will prob.
ably win 1t for all time next month.
Judge Moore and Fairmont Farms
each has a leg on the 5000 cup Of
fered by Jay F. Carlisle for park
teams.
In all there are 1862 classes shown.
the most Of them being the same
as last year. An entirely new class
is that for delivery wagon outfits in
actual service to be shown in single
harness. The prizes for this class
were donated by Frederick NJ: Davies.
OF the total number Of classes SO are
to be judged as breeding stock.
But what will add Is much as any
thing else to the spectacular features
Of the show will be the array Of for
eign army officers who will compete
with the officers of our own army.
Chief interest will center or Lieut.. C.
F. Walwyn Of the Royal Horse Artil
lery of England. who last year won
the Canadian Challenge cup donated
by Adam Beck of Toronto. He will
defend the trophy this year en- The
Nut, the same horse that he rode SO
successfully when here before. Lord
