Lord. Bryce as 4 Walker.

A newspaper correspondent recently
returned from somewhere in France"
tells me II story of visit paid by Lord
Bryce to the trenches. An officer was
sketching out little trip along the
front WHICH he proposed to make with
the distinguished visitor the next day,
but, suddenly remembering that Lord
Bryce is seventy-eight, suggested that
perhaps the program involved too long
Il walk. Lord Bryce at once answered
that as an old Alpinist he would un-
dertake to walk against his much
younger officer friend, himself, by the
way, an Alpinist of some distinction.
And when next day the two returned
to camp, after trudging through
trenches for many miles, the younger
man had to confess that he was very
much more done up than his compan.

Freckled face smiling thanks she

her bouquet to Professor Simpson.

'Nae then, l must keep back one

the sprig on the standard beneath
Gods own light"
The London Sphere, a weekly jour
nal, recently published the following
report on the "S-ray:"
A great amount of curiosity has been
aroused about the Simpson light ("S'
rays), and there seems little doubt that
we are on the eve of what may be
termed a revolution in the matter Of
| healing; and in view of the legacy of
casualties which the war is giving US,
no other type Of scientific advance
ment could be more satisfactorily Op-
perfume Maj E. G. French, r. A. NJ.
c., in one of the articles which have
lately been appearing In the Lancet,
says "the Simpson light is the latest
discovery in therapeutics. For over
two and a half years the scientific In
vesdgations have been published in
papers; during one and a half years
the ''S' rays have been employed
therapeutically, and over 5000 treat
ments have been given. 1t will there
fore be admitted that no undue haste
has been shown in now introducing
them into notice"
This was written some months ago.
Now that the results are assured, no
time is being lost in actually gathering
in the fruits Of the discovery and In
stalling the apparatus in the hospitals;
and the Simpson light treatment has
already become feature not only in
the clinic centers of England but all
over Europe.
The rays discovered by Mr.. w. s.
Simpson, an engineer; who, while ex-
perimenting in the affinity of rare met
ais for one another, noticed that the
light produced by the electric comDuS-
ton Of certain ores had curative" ef-
fects on the workmen's hands, in con-
sequence Of which he prepared special
electrodes for combustion in an arc
lamp, hence the IS" rays.
without going into alr the various
results which are being detailed in the
medical press from time to time, we
may content ourselves here with the
main fact that it has been tested in
the worst of cases, that the exposure
is a very short one, that there seems
no limit to it's application, from cases
of shrapnel wounds to the more deeply
seated chronic affections, and ''that
some Of the most intractable cases
which had defied a great deal Of treat
ment improved at once under the 81

Remarkable Premonltlon.

A striking instance of premonition
Is reported from GrifTithstown, Mon
mOuthshire, Great Britain. While a
maternity nurse was walking home,
she had a presentiment that her pa
tient and the child whom she had just
left were in danger. Hurrying home,
she prevailed upon her husband, a
member Of the local fire brigade, to
go to the post office, where he found
the bedroom occupied by the sub-post-
mistress and her baby to be on fire.
He removed the mother and child and
extinguished the fire, which had orig
mated in wooden beam near the fire.

Now she goes with him, and he is find

Whether either he or she is glad,
however, depends, in a measure-in
fact, rather largely-upon her clothing.
She must be warm in cold weather,
not too warm in hot weather, not be
bedraggled to helplessness when 1t
rains, nor snagged every few minutes
in rough going by stepping on her
skirt or getting caught on a stub. If
she is to be a real companion to a man
she must not hold him back by adding

Oddities Of the Elephant.

Whoever has looked inside an ele-
plants mouth has seen a strange
sight, an. exchange observes. Ele-
plants have no front teeth, and they
never eat flesh or any food that re-
quires tearing apart. Eight teeth are
all they have, two above and two be
low on each side, huge yellow molars
as wide as a mans hand.
Over these hay and fodder are shift
ed by the queerest, ugliest tongue in
the whole animal kingdom, a tongue
that is literally hung at both ends,
having no power of movement except
in the middle, where 1t shifts back and
forth from the side, arching up against
the roof Of the big mouth like a
wrinkled pink serpent.
Elephants, like human beings, have
two sets Of teeth. The milk teeth,
which are smaller than the permanent
mOlars, fall out when the animals are
about fourteen years old. These baby
teeth-which are, nevertheless, enOr-
mOus-are occasionally picked up by
circus men among the fodder and pre-
served as curioslties.

Matter of Taste.

Jones leisurely took his ticket at the
Office of a suburban railway station,
but, on hearing the train approaching,
made more haste than speed to the
platform. When nearly at the top Of
the steps leading to the platform, his
foot slipped, his silk hat wObbled onto
his brow, and his umbrella and bag
betook themselves one to the right and
one to the left, but he manfully re-
gained these possessions by holding
them down on the steps in a grasp-all
sort of fashion.
Whilst thus on all fOurs, Jones
meekly looked up at the official at the
gate, inquiring:
rs this the way to get to the Vic
toria train?"
"Yes. sir" was the unsympathetic
reply, "you may come that way If you
wish" And Jones felt still more lowly-
minded.

A DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, Of Iowa, holds
seven sections Of land In Snskatche'
wan. These he has fenced and rent'
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
/ oil paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
/ home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in Il high state of cul
tlvntion, with splendid improvements
In houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Lust year, 1915, his half share OF
crop on a quarter section in Saslsatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
85 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
30 bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-sectiOn, sOwn' to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1896 bushels. His
share, 1,G43 bushels of / Northern at
S1.50 per bushel, gave him $2563OS.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.OO. Allow
ing share Of the expense Of his am
nual inspection trip charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is 90 per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now."
Mr.. Barr was instrumental In bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, a tenant
farmer in Iowa. lie bought a quarter
section Of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hauley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
tell friends down home for you"
The reply was: Tell them 1 shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devOtes
most Of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit Of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
ized the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. SO his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
In it."-Advertisement.
