We Must Have More Gold.

the great war the mines of the world
were producing nearly one hundred
millions per annum in excess Of the

is great shrinkage of the quantity

THE HURON HOMES.
Georgian Bay Braves Were Living il
Comfort When Champlain Game.

Champlain, in his visit to the Hun on
lands in the Georgian bay area in Aug
ust, 1905, was surprised to find the
braves living in comparative comfort
much better homes were found than he
had ever seen in savage villages before.
The villages, which were fixed, were
composed of houses, not of shin wig
vans. Those that were situated near.
est to their enemines We're strongly
fortified with palisades and SO locat-
ed that food, water and fuel were
easily obtainable. Some of the houses
were of large size, ranging from 30 TO
$50 feet in length. They were built
in strange style. Rows OF saplings
were planted in the earth; then the
tops were bent inward until .hey feft
an opening a foot or two in width
along the ridge of the house. They
were then dashed together to form Il
shade about 80 feet in width and us
ually about 20 feet in height. Other
poles were tied to the firmly fix ID poles
on the side and top and over these
and to these were fastened tie barks
for the wall coverings. On the two sides
of the house were hunks where the In
dams slept in their piles of furs in
warmth. Under was the grarary of
the house, where they stored the grain,
fish and sunfowers, of which they were
so fond. On the upper poles in the
average redskin house were hung the
implements of the chase, farm and the
warfare in which they so frequently
engaged. In the middle space, on the
ground, were the huge fires that kept
the place warm The smoke poured out
through the opening at the ridge where
the roof was incomplete. The Hurons
possessed in Champlsin's day nearly
100 of these great community houses
for their people
The family life Of the braves was
not delight The construction Of the
houses prevented any privacy. The men
were lords the squaws were slaves OF
their masters. The men were des-
perate gamblers and whiled away the
time. when they were not fighting or
hunting in feasting. dancing or play
ing their games of chance. This was
the life the great Frenchman diseoy-
cred the mighty Hurons living when he
came to them Montreal Herald.

Case Of Adultery

London, Aug. l3-Emphatic endorse
ment of the league OF nations as 'es-
sentiallv Christian" was given by the
recent Lambeth conference of the An
glican church, which was attended by
bishops and archbishops from all parts
of the world, according to an official
report on the work of the conference,
issued to day. 1t was urged that the
peace of the world, no less than Chris
tian principles, demanded the admis
sion of Germany and other nations
into the league at the earliest possible
time.
Concern was expressed by the con
ference over the disease and distress
prevailing in large parts of Europe and
Asia. The bishops called for ener-
getic action for relief
A resolution Of deep interest" in
the prohibition movement was adopt
ed, in which the action of the United
States and Canada was commended u
"the earnest and sympathetic attention
of the Christian churches throughout
the world
Another resolution affirmed life long
indissoluble marriage as the Christian
principle and standard, though allow
ing national church to make spe-
cial provision when the ground on
which dissolution is sought is adultery.

CORDING UP THE BED IN

You1l see the sport that's jest been

Look wise an wsg his head.
But where's the man who used to cord
Twice eighteen holes of bed
Say, there he goes upchamber way,
Keep track. see what he'll do;
Jest watch the feather tick fy off,
And then the husk one, too;
II tisn't husk, it's barley straw,
Or was when IT was new.
The bedstead stripped, he presses on
In three new kinds of four
OF dust, and ysnks the old cord out
A hundred yards or more
When first he knows the southeast post
Falls fat upon the floor
The lengthways girders then collapse,
And head and foot board crash;
You'll s'pose that mothers spareroom
bed
Had went to smithering smash;
Before he gets it up, he's earned
A dollars worth of cash.
The new bought BEDFORD then he takes
And thread Il through the beams,
Or stringers. for they're strong enough
To hold firing Of teams;
Acrost and round he goes like one
A-passing chocolate creams.
Now comes the tug Of war, 70 stretch
That raw boned BEDFORD tight;
He needs some help and hollers down
The stairs with all his might.
Come up here, son aud tread the cord
And help me do this right
So sonny starts to walk the rope
Upon his insteps Bang
Way up he goes, then back be comes,

a combination bird and frog,

Then father says, You hold the end,
Wen pass around the fun;
Id like to do that monkey act
And show YOU how its done;

Unconscious Of his son.
His senses back. three hours or more
He lives amongst that rope.
And when il twangs, he's ripe TO rest
A week. but drat the hope
Upstairs rings mothers vibrant voice,
Come. father. stir the soap"

ROAD PHONES.
Some are Being Installed at Mile Posts
in Ohio.

Nearly all great Notwithstanding
the mysterious ones of Mr.. Edison
simplify the problems of life by means
so simple that everyone wonders why
he did not hit upon the device. For
example great fortune was made by
the invention of machine which made
wood screws with points upon them,
Nowadays anyone who sees an old
fashioned wood screw, as large at one
end as at the other, for which hole
had to be bored with bit, wonder why
the first man who thought of a wood
screw did not think of threading it to
a point.
According to the Auto News, tele-
phones are to be installed upon the
public roads in Ohio for the conyen,
fence of travellers. The plan is to put
up small booth at each milestone.
The motorist who is stranded always
will find himself within half mile of
a telephone.
The plan provides so simply for the
solution of one of the sexing problems
OF road travel that it seems it should
have been prepared dozen years ago.
The road telephone would be an in
stitution so obviously necessary that
it would rate with the screw point
as something which should have been
instituted before it was instituted.
The custom OF the last decade Ct
the 10th century to hunt up the near
est farmer who would, for time and a
half or more. provide pair of mules
to tow stranded automobile is OBJ
solete in the Goth century, There is
always towing service as well as tire
service within hail if only a telephone
can be had.
Tramping to the nearest farmhouse
which has a telephone is often arduous.
The motorist sometimes is welcomed
alphabetically by the farmer, but
rarely by dogs. The dogs must be en-
countered and dealt with before their
owner can be reached. They form the
alert outguard of the rural home.
The evolutionary outgrowth OF the
road phone would be the telephone in
strument, carried in the toolbox, with
which the stranded motorist could tap
any wire at any point and utter bis
Macedonian cry
With such an instrument and
trusty pair of lineman's climbing mons
with which to run up telephone poles
TO order gasoline, tubes, castings, lows
and other emergency necessities the
tourist would be able TO keep in touch
with all that frees touring from the
burdens of anxiety.-Louisville Cour-

BIG WATERFRONT PROJECT.
Removal of 81 Antiquated Piers ant
Erection of 10 New Ones.

New York, Aug. l3.-The greatest
waterfront improvement here IN 81
years, involving the removal of 81 anti
quated piers along the Hudson river
and the erection in their stead of Il
new ones and vastly larger piers II lat
est design, has been planned by Muir
raw Hubert, commissioner of docks
and approved by the sinking fund com
mission. The improvement will cost
s5O,000,O00 and will require 10 wears
to complete. Work is expected to be
started next spring.
This, with the proposed vehlculal
tunnel to New Jersey, is expect tc
solve New York's west side dock prob
lem. The new water front system is
to consist of wide piers, slips and
marginal streets, with warehouses and
tracks where available in the rear
"The cost of construction is expect
ed to pay for itself within four wears
time" according to Deputy Dock Com
missioner Michael Cosgrove. y per-
manent sea wall has been built along
the entire stretch, no rock will he en-
countered to make depth of 40 feet
and most of the real estate is owned
by the city.
"These new piers will increase the
pier shortage area 30 per cent II they
are made only one story" said Mr..
Cosgrove. But because Of the high
value of this waterfront it will De nm
economical TO stop even at two stor-
les. They will have the most modern
appliances for rapid handling OF the
freight, including electric cranes, help
ers and hoists of all kinds.
"The present lower North river wa
ter front is Just what il was IN 1871.
It's slips are so narrow there is not
room In them at once for two big
steamships. To afford relief the war
department has three times permitted
the pier headlines to extend further
outshore The more these narrow piers
we're brought out, the worse the sips
became. because boats have been con
tinually growing bigger"
The new plan" said President +.
r. La Guardia of the board of alder
men. means that New York is going
10 have Is piers from $50 to l,o2o feet
in length in place of the 32 dilapidated
structures which are disgrace to the
city. Between each pier there VII be
"a dockage space of 800 feet and min
,mum of 275 feet. Two of the new
piers will be 100 feet wide, seven 40
feet and nine l25 feet.
Along New York's SIS miles of wa
ter-front the dock commission already
has under way other projects under
contracts amounting to s20,O00000.

2o.--Sleep, Play and Rest.

The child's body develops faster dur
ing the first year of his life than at
any other period. For that reason a
baby needs a large allowance of sleep,
with the best sleeping accommodations,
SO that the hours of sleep may be of
the greatest value to him.
Baby should sleep alone. Babies may
be smothered to death while in bed
with an older person, some part ct
whose body may be thrown over baby's
face while asleep. The young baby
should sleep eighteen or twenty hours
/ out of the twentyfour. He should
have sixteen hours sleep daily from a
month to the age of one year. From
the first to the second year, he should
sleep twelve hours. A baby should
have the longest period of unbroken
sleep at night and should not be per
mitted to turn night into day.
Daytime-The daytime maps should
be continued through the sixth year.
The baby should never take nap in
all his clothes. The shoes OF older
children, especially, should be removed.
In hot weather remove al hut the shirt
and diaper from the baby.
The sleeping room should be dark
ened and well ventilated. The baby
should he fed and made comfortable
in every way, put in his crib and let
alone to go to sleep. He should never
be rocked to sleep nor iolted nor
jounced.
Out of -Doors-Out of door sleeping
in summer, both by day and by night
is good for the baby after he is a
month old. He must be protected from
flies, mosquitoes, shielded from the
wind and sun, and covered if there is a
sudden drop in temperature. The
sleeping porch must be protected prop
erly by canvas curtains and in cold
weather a hot water bottle should be
placed in baby's bed.
The baby must have an abundant
supply of fresh air day and night He
should be kept out Of doors as much
as possible, avoiding the hot sun and
days when the thermometer drops he
low % degrees Z. because of the danger
of the face being frostbitten. In the
summer time. new born baby may be
taken out of doors the first week. Be
ginning with a daily outing OF fifteen
minutes about noon and gradually
lengthen the time in the forenoon ard
afternoon until the baby is out from
10 o'clock until 2 o'clock. He must be
clothed properly according to the
weather and his eyes protected from
the sun At all ages, the baby carriage
must be one in which the child can lie
comfortably at full length and stretch
his arms apd legs. When sitting up,
his little spine and feet must be sup
ported properly.
Playing-A young baby needs rest
and quiet. However strong he may be,
too much playing is bad, as il is like
" TO result in a restless night
Rocking the baby, jumping him up
and down on the knees, tossing him,
in constant motion is very bad for him.
These things disturb baby's nerves and
make him more and more dependent
upon these attentions. When the young
baby is awake, he should be taken up
frequently and held quietly in the
arms in various positions, SO that no
one set of muscles become tried. An
older child should be taught to sit on
the floor or in his pen or crib and
amuse himself during part Of his
waking hours
