HOW Bio THINGS Are Lost.

Everywhere we see people jeopardiE-
ing the big things for the little. While
attending 10 some little picayune detail
that ought to be left to a clerk,
stenographer, or Office boy, men lose
some great advantage they might have
gained had they been free to attend to
It, just as hort-sighted economists will
lose a chance TO make 500 in the fu-
ture in trying to save so cents today.
They do not realize that a small coin
close to the eye can shut out the sight
of gold eagle.
The great thing is to get the right
perspective. not to emphasize the
wrong thing. The man whose head is
buried in details cannot plan large
things.
1t is a great art to know what to
leave undone, TO know how to weed
out the less important things and to
spend ones energies In doing the
things which win count-0rison SWEET

DO WITHOUT ANY DENTISTS
How the Natives of Africa Preserve
Their Teeth in Practical State
OF Perfection.

There is a common idea that the
diet and climatic conditions of the ne
groes are the cause of their having
beautiful teeth, but some authorities
dispute this.
Thus, in some parts of Africa, when
an infant has gone through the teeth
ing period his mouth is rinsed out
with an infusion of the leaves of a
native tree possessing constituent
which causes the gums to shrink, so
tightening the teeth.
The natives living near the source Of
the Nile employ the roots of pod
bearing plant to relieve toothache,
while another tribe uses an infusion
of kass0 seeds for the same purpose.
The toothbrush, as used in this
country, is, Of course, unknown TO the
savages, but many of them have. an
effective substitute. They use piece
of wood from certain trees, which con-
tain beneficial qualities. Further, this
stick is free from the great objection
to brushes. 1t can be renewed at fire.

prairies last year.

son.
Not knowing the pts"e at which II
would be possible to market the crop
the Canadian grain board. which or
ganization hano,eJ the whole of the
crop last summer, fixed S2.15 as min.
imum price for No. wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should he
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end Of The season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
a bushel over the fixed rate of S215 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about S40000.000 will
be distributed among the farmers Of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was

last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this yesr
at between SO and So per bushel. was
made recently before a conference of
western supporters of the government
| by Dr. Robert Magill. who was one Of
a deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in fa-
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
| no wheat could be exported from Rus
STA owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export India was prohibiting
export, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 12.0O0.000 to 100000.
| The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
| the Argentine and North America.
Dr. Magill, according to formal an.
nouncement, though it would be inn
possible to secure as good price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
ter. The net result would be that Ca

found that the adoption of Arab

done completely or not at all,

Arab life and etiquette as if he
had been born to It. 1t was no
splendid masquerade of an adj
