Marvellous Woman.

Seated in the bakery the other
morning, we saw our wife coming VI
Green lane with 10th hands full oi
parcels, for she had been shopping OF
the Main street.
Our wife had on her new spotted
veil, and. as she drew near, we saw
that her face under the same was go
ing through strange and dreadful con
tortions.
Thinking that some white SLAYER
might have struck her with knock
out needle, we rushed out to our wife
in wild alarm.
MY dear" We cried, what on earth
are you twisting your face about like
that for?"
Our wife showed US her two full
hands and said simply: I'm trying tc
work my veil down over my chin -

CAT AN EXPERT ~FIsHERMAN,'
Has Learned Meaning of Line in
Water, and Has the Patience OF
the Perfect Angler.

Cats are known to be fond of fish,
but it is not every cat that is willing
to go out and catch enough fresh fish
to furnish his own meal and supply
the family breakfast table with the
same food. Such an animal exists in
Miami, Fla, however. and daily
watches hand line which his owner
places in the water When the cork
bobbles the cat dashes to the office of
an amusement company and sets up
a loud mewing. Following the cats
footsteps to the place where the line
has been dropped, whoever is on duty
at the Office hauls in the fish to the
tuneful purring of the proud and0sat
isfied cat. Some months ago the cat
chanced to be on the dock when fish
was pulled in. He learned that his
favorite food came from the water and
was caught on the end of a line.
Since that any line with one end in
the water and one on the dock has
been a source Of unfailing interest to

Queer MARRIAGE superst,.io,s

A curious idea about the Burmese is
that people born on the same day of
the week must not marry, and that
if they defy the fates their union will
be marked by much ill luck. To pre-
vent these disastrous marriages every
girl carries a record of her birthday in
her name. each day of the week hav-
ing letter belonging to it, and all
children are called by a name which
begins with that letter. 1t is rather
hard if the Marys and Marks of Burma
fall in love with each other. Unlike
other Oriental lands, the younger peo-
pie are allowed to marry as taste die,
tates, subject only to the birthday re-
strictions.

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Chan-
pionship for Cats a Third
Time

Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. j.. C. Hill & Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At tha
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats wers
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck Of oats belonging to- the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who

winner Of the trophy--the prize. The
three entries were side by side on tina
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-50 pounds to the busheI. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor Of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
enc greatly to the credit of the Ca

The oats which have thus given tn
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north OF the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude. all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm

with yields of from so to 100 bush

Eaas When Not Used as Food.

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish than

cooling than the sweet oil and cotton
which were formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay the
smarting pain. The egg is considered
to be one of the best remedies for
