(TO BE
Change in Domestic Animals.

Changes In the habits and appear
ance Of bur domestic animals have be-
come noticeable even within the last
two centuries. These are due on the
n hand to Nature, which Is constant
ly adapting the animals to the altered
conditions Of the world they live in,
and on the other to the efforts Of
scientific breeders who are deliberate
ly trying to produce new strains. The
horse Of the Sixteenth century was q
heavier and slower animal than the
average horse Of today. Roads and
haulage have changed and Nature has
done her part to fit the horses frame
for Its altered duties. So 1t Is with al
most every animal in mans service.
With byres and sheds provided, the
OK has lost his warm shaggy coat. In
the case of the sheep, on the contrary,
Nature has been encouraged in every
way to produce a thicker covering.
How readily Nature responds to al
tered circumstances Is seen even in
the domestic pig which If left without
winter shelter, develops a coat Of curly
hair in place Of the usual scanty
bristles.

Japan Turning to Electricity.

The growth of the electrical idea in
Japan is reflected in the shipment just
made from the United States of two
$4,000 kv-a., 11,0o0-volt synchronous
c~ondensers, the largest ever built for
foreign shipment in this country.
These big machines are to be in

called "ladylike looking houses" They
rang the bell at No. 81, and a neat
maid answered the door. She looked
so respectable that T%uppence's heart
sank. Upon Tommy's request for Mr..
Carter, she showed them into q small
study on the ground floor, where she
left them. Hardly a minute elapsed,
however, before the door opened, and
a tall man with a lean, hawklike face
and a tired manner entered the room.
"Mr. Y. A.T he said, and smiled.
His smile was distinctly attractive.

They obeyed. He himself took a
chair opposite to Tuppence and
smiled at her en%couragingly. There
was something in the quality Of his
smile that made the girls usual readi-

AS he did not seem inclined to open
the conversation, Tuppence was forced
to begin.

"No, It's a different one" She
handed him the slip Of paper.
Tommy read the words on it aloud:
"Wanted-Any information respect

The day Of disillusionment had
been a Wednesday. On Thursday the
advertisement had duly appeared. On
Friday letters might be expected to
arrive at Tommy's rooms.
He had been bound by an honor
able promise not to open any such
letters II they did arrive, but to repair
TO the National gallery, where his col
league would meet him at ten o'clock.
Tuppence was first at the rendez-
vous. She ensconced herself on a red
velvet sea- until she saw the familiar
figure enter the room.
"Well?"
"Well," returned Mr.. Beresford pro-
vokingly. (which is your favorite

Aren't there any answers?"
Tommy shook his head with a deep
and somewhat overacted melancholy.
"I didn't want to disappoint you, old
thing, by telling you right off. It's
too bad. Good money wasted" He
sighed. "Still, there 1t Is. The adver-
tisement has appeared, and--there are

Tuppence snatched the two precious

Cause of Recedina Chin.

The receding chin, so common now
adays, has been caused by parents
swathing their infants to the eyes
with too much clothing when taking
them out for an airing, according to
DIR. Leonard Williams in a lecture at
the Royal institute in London.
''The chins of many children are
now bandaged in such a way as to
keep out the beneficient rays of the
sun and TO prevent its growth" Doc
tor Williams declared.

RECORD IN CROPS
Western Canada Farmers AS
sured of BountifuI Yields.
Conditions Reported From All Parts
Of the Provinces Satisfactory in the
HiGhest Deeree-Pass Expectations.

From as early as April IT, when
seeding became general throughout the
Western Canadian Provinces, was
there anything but Optirl.sm In the
feelings of the farmers Of that coun-
try. An uninterrupted chain OF favor
able conditions have bound the early
seeding data with the conditions OF
the crop today. There we're no set
backs. There may have been a hail
storm or two with some Ill effects
through portions Of the country, but
the track they took was so small
that the percentage Of loss was al
most imperceptible compared with h
whole. Rains fell just when needed,
the sun shone as If regulated by n
farmer himself, the ground, generally,
was in perfect condition and fully re-
sponSive. 1t is now a quest. on Of rival

which will produce the greatest re-
suits in crop yields and averages. Out

or in the south, that which gave as

The fact is apparent that Western
Canada will have Il crop yield in all

should not be forgotten that these

 Tuesday

Over 10000 people reviewed the new Masonic temple on Tuesday be- tween 10 and o'clock, when the Masonic Temple association of Bir- mingham were hosts at a public re- caption.
 John Bethea, ST, was chairman of the general reception committee. All guests were met at the door by MT. Bethea and directed to the receiving line, composed of Mrs. Amy Carle, Mrs. Elizabeth Salter, Mrs. Etta B, Smith, Mrs. Belle Ash, Mrs. Mary Dunlap. Mrs. Mary Echols, and Mrs Mary Camp, all past grand matrons of the Order of the Eastern Star.
 Harold McDermott and Martin Rmgleberg gave the visitors direc- tions to follow the arrows, which had been placed throughout the build ing to point out the course.
 The arrows pointed first to the Scottish Rite room. Mrs. Hattie Fischer, Mrs. Edith Murphree and Mrs. Elsie Schoedinser were receiv- ing here

 And then the crowds passed to the
 balcony of the spacious amphitheatre,
 where they were met by Mrs. H. F. | Lesher, Mrs. Ernest Marks, Mrs. Eula Collins and Mrs. Mary Henderson. On the stairs, directing the visitors l to the main auditorium, were Mir. D. E. MeLendon, Mrs. Harry Mullin, Miss Marie Grim, MT. Alvin M. Douglass, Mrs. Ross Bevis, and Miss Emily Boisclair.
 The auditorium was such scene
 of enchantment, with its soft lights
 shed from beautiful chandeliers, it's exquisite music. and its magnificent i palms bordering the stage that the
 multitudes were loath to leave.
 As the callers passed out of the
 auditorium they were presented with
 white and red roses, carnations and gladiolas, by Mrs. Christine Laurell and Mrs. Annie Rowley, past grand matrons.
 A floral design, consisting of the five emblems, made from roses, car nations, sweet peas, violets and liliss, was the most magnificent of all the decorations. This design was pre- sented by the Greek American Ma sons of the city. Beautiful baskets of flowers given by the Wheelock Chapter also added to the charm of the decorations.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Walker and pr. Ransome stood at the head of the stairs and directed the visitors to the dining hall and kitchen. In the din- ing hall they were received by Mrs. Irene Fortenberry, Mrs. Gwennie O'Daniel. Mrs. E. c. Wallace. Mrs. T. D. McMahan and Mrs. M. Townes, Mrs. J. V. Lauro and Mrs. s. J. Erck- ert.
