For the past week the weather has

continued with few interruptions. A

There has been some thrashing done
this week, but as yet the returns are
very meagre. They indicate a good
yield except in spots. and that the

Animal. az Canada.

Northern Canada is still teeming with
animal life. From some notes in the
United Empire we learn that the musk

nesses Of the far north. The polar
bear and the walrus are still compar
atively common on the Alaskan and
arctic shores Geese. ducks. curlews
and host Of birds are yet to be found
In the comparative isolation Of their
hidden sanctuaries. But year by year
these nobler forms of animal life are
becoming more and more open to the
attacks Of irresponsible individuals
who have no care for the future, and
who still less believe that this wealth
of animal life is worth preservation

ealzac a Hypnotist.

That the great French novelist BaE'
FAC was not only believer in personal
magnetism" but himself an expert
hypnotist, is affirmed by Count Apron
vi in his Journal"
Count Apponyi says that Balzac once
related an instance Of event reading at
a distance which came under his no.
tice. 81 have believed in magnetism
from that day." Balzac continued, "and
have myself become powerful mag
neither. Such is my force that few
people can resist me. Almost every one
who enters my house becomes hypnO-,

most secret thoughts" Balzac boosted
that he could even hypnotic at dis

Birds Evolved From Reptiles.

The birds OF the present day are de-
scendants Of reptiles. This fact has
been concIusively proved by the fossil
remains Of creatures that form the in
termediate stages between the birds
of today and the reptiles Of prehistoric
ages. In fact, many Of the birds have
not yet completed their evolution, as
in the case Of the penguin. whose
wings are merely rudimentary, abso-
.lutely inadequate for flying purposes
and useful only as a means Of propell-
ing these awkward creatures through
the water.

A Cane In Defense.

'If you want to keep of holdup
men, said an old detective, carry a
cane. A holdup man is more afraid of
"a cane than he is OF revolver. He's
deathly afraid that the man carrying
it will jab it in his face or eyes or get
the end of 1t in his mouth. On this
account they're just as much afraid
of a small light stick as they are of
heavy one. There are SO many differ
ent ways of using a cane that man
doesn't know just which way to guard
against 1t And any man can use it. !"

Playing Golf.

In the Century Marshall Whitlatch,
noted golfer, explains why particu-
larry brainy men often make poor
showing at that sport They think so
hard about hitting the ball in just the
proper manner, he says, that their mus
cles are tensed, and the free swing Of
the stroke is spoiled. His theory. sug-
gested to him by the Montessori sys-
tenn, is that the player should relax his
mind as well as his muscles. feel out
the correct position and aim in action;
in short, that good golf is all matter
Of subconscious habit.
