COVE COMMENTS

An editorial in last Sunday )
Times, entitled Economic Hall
Truths, " (Which statement bites
both ways, in paragraph 5. states
that profits are the earnings over
and above the cost of operating
any business, which is perfectly
correct. But those profits are
either taken out of the wages OF
the workers who produce the par
ticular commodity, or else the
profits are a tax levied on the gen
crol consumer who has to use said
product. Next the editor saws
that profits reinvested are wealth.
just so, capitalistic wealth for the
private benefit of those who con
troll the profits. Next; Where
there are no profits there is no
wealth. This is not so. Wealth Of
itself, as eoncreicly illustrated by
a pile of gold, say million dollars
III a heap, for million years
would not create one cent Of
wealth, where labor without cent
can create wealth. To labor right
ly belongs all labor-created wealth.
There was an interesting account
also in last Sundays Times with
the heading, "Doughboy Sleeps in
Best Bed in Month at st. Malo. ="
This is particularly interesting TO
me as st. Malo is only 30 miles
from my birthplace. st. Malo is
the capital of Brittany, a quaint
old town with narrow streets
some too narrow for a wagon of
any sort. As to sanitation. it s
non est, the sewer system being
represented by gutter in the
middle of the street hence there
are few if any toilets in the
houses, even some hotels have only
makeshifts in the attic or else
where. The dump casts traverse
the available streets early in the
morning. Windows open, and
what misses the cart hits the OPP
posite wall, and, as anyone can
testify who have visited these
towns in Normandy and Brittany,
the odors that greet ones olfactory
nerve are not even remotely class
led with Eau de Cologne or Attar
of Roses. But when it comes 10
beds and eats, one must hand it to
the French par excellence. The
beds are a billow OF down with a
canopy overhead and a little step
ladder TO mount when YOU retire
They are the acme Of comfort. as
| can testify--for short man.
Anyone over five feet SIX or so
must lie like the letter Y or hang
his trotiers out of the bottom end
of the g bit " (bed). An amusing
incident occurs to my memory
when on one occasion | paid Wis

my folks. We reached there just
in time for supper (table de hote

was soup, about half a gallon per

variety of vegetables and cubes OF
bread - soft and filling. Other

being first handed round by the
maids, then placed on the table
so you could further help yourself.
For drink there was half-gallon
falcon of thin, sour cider at your
elbow. and if you could drink more
than that YOU were welcome; but
for us Anglais. one jorum of soup
and half the falcon of cider was
the most that anyone Of us could
manage. Supper over, there was
nothing TO do except 90 to bed, as
the town was about as well lighted
as Cove after dark. So to bed we
went. up a winding staircase like

How to Drive a PEG in a Tree

we are planting memorial forests
and are learning to protect and pre-
serve our wild life, both animal and
vegetable; therefore, when we are in
the wilds we must be careful not to
destroy timber, and if we want to use
a tree for hat rack. clothes rack
or a gun rack, we must devise some
method which will not injure the tree.
me old-time woodsman did this by
striking his axe into the trunk of the
tree and thereby making a perpendic-
ular cut. Into the center of this cut
he would then drive a blunt peg. The
advantage of this lies in the fact that
an.-upright wound on a tree heals
readily and leaves practically no scar;
therefore, if when one leaves camp
the peg is Knocked from its place
there will be no injury done to the
tree.-Boys Life.

TREE YIELDS MANY PRODUCTS
How Natives of Mountains in the Sou
dan Get Needed Supply of
Water and Food.

How the natives of the Kordofar
and Nuba FOUNTAINS of the Soudar
store their water supply in the remark
able Tebeldi, Baobab or Adansonia
digita trees, is explained by Capt. E
Galway Warren, in the Wide World
Magazine.
The trunks of these trees, which at
tain huge proportions, sometimes be-
ing Is feet in diameter for distance
of over 20 feet, where the branches
begin, are hollow. A hole is cut in the
tree near the top of the straight trunk,
and native hollows out the interior,
until mere shell a few inches thick
remains. Then a basin is formed in
the earth near its base, which fills
during the rainy season. This water
is stored in the trunk of the tree. and
remains sweet for long periods. Even
after two years only slight discol-
Grafton was noted in the water.
Natives sell water from these store
houses to travellers. Tenants rent the
trees with their lands and store the
family water supply in them. Nobody
knows how old the trees are although
they are reputed to be many centuries
old
From the bark of the trees the ma
tives make rope for binding camel
Dads, building homes, etc. The trees /
yield nuts of a. bitter taste, not unlike
which are ground into Dur. !
The nut shells are used as snuff boxes.

Why Y,.sninq Is CONTAGIOUS.

A peculiar thing about the profess
OF yawning is that one person In q
room yawning will quite likely set all
or nearly all the others to yawning
also. There seems to be no explana-
ton of this excepting that when a
number of people are in one room and
one of them begins TO yawn, the others
90 SO, not because they perceive the
first yawn so much as the probable
fact that the air in the room has be-
come SO poor that there is not enough
good air for all the people in It.,
breathing normally, and many of them
are forced to yawn at about the same
time

Why Baby Has q snub Nose.

Babies, like bulldogs, have snub
noses to enable them TO breathe while
holdins on to the soft, yielding skin
with their mouths when nursing. This
explanation Is given by DR.. Herbert r.

10 the Lancet. Doctor Spencer writes
mat the hutton-ended. turned-up nose
IS almost universal, except among the
naoies OF races that are marked by
hooN noses. when the baby's nose is
oisei 'urned down into partial hook.

/: HOW FISH CAUGHT MAN
AND MADE ! BOLD
/! ENDEAVOR TO LAND HIM.
/; "A sportsman tells of curious
. incident. From his story, which
I appears to be authentic, it APP
/ pears that a party of fishermen
!; were out in a boat after gud
+! geon. One of the men, whose
J horse had become famed some
/: miles from home, had been taken
/. ON board, but was not fishing. As
penalty for wearing spurs he
sat In the bow with, his feet
hanging over the side of the
skiff.
Soon after his entrance into
the boat one of the anglers
caught a small grdgeon, which
he playfully hung on the horse
mans projecting spur. The in
cident was forgotten and the
gudgeon hung there, its tail Just
touching the water.
Suddenly the man gave a cry
of establishment, and the others
looking up saw large jackfsh
splashing the water in vigsous
fashion. The boat began to
rock; the man in the bow lost
his balance and tumbled into the
lake, where he disappeared from
sight.
A moment later he rose to the
surface, the jackfish still thrash
ing the water about his foot, and I:
1t was seen that the fish was !:
caught on the spur. The jack {:
was huge fellow and very |:
strong, and in its struggles for !:
freedom it plunged down toward I
the bottom of the lake, dragging !.
the man feet foremost after it. I;
His weight, however, was too I:
much for the fish and it made
small Roadway.
The fishermen now went to :?
the assistance of their compan-
ion. One of them struck the Jack
with an oar and stunned it., The !:
man was pulled into the boat and
the jackfish despatched The big
fish had jumped for the gudgeon,
fixed its teeth in its body and
had somehow been caught by the ;
gill on the crane-necked spur. I;
