Twenty years have now passed away. The population of Canada in the meantime has increased about 40 per cent., from 7,000,000 to 10,000,- 000.

Gardens For Children Small Folks Always Interested In Watching Things Grow Give your child a plot of ground to till during vacaitno—not as a task, but as a hobby. Get him a few cents’ worth of seeds of some un- usual late vegetables, from the store around the corner, and teach him the joy of tilling the soil. Watch the sparkle in his eye in a few weeks when he presents you with a radish or a few leaves of lettuce that he has actually grown from tiny seeds, and you will be repaid an hun- dred fold for any trouble you have been caused. i Next season he'll probably want a larger garden and become an enthus- last like you.

Berlin Doctor Has’ Theory About Dreams Says They Are Handy Outlet Fo: Guilty Consclence According to Dr. Frans Alexander, Berlin psycho-analyst, bad dreams are a handy outlet for a bad con- science. They serve to calm the trou- bled ego and quiet the guilty con- science in “a decently comfortable” way. It is necessary that an individ- ual with a guilty conscience should suffer and dreams offer the easiest way -of again obtaining normal poise are suitable to relieve disturbing These tensions may have quite different sources such as or- Long Search For Penny who deals with more than $25,000,000 every week, recently found himself a penny short. He went in search of it. Had he added up a stray fly's leg in a column of figures? Was it an error of simple addition? Was there a hole in the petty cash drawer? Had some one used a penny stamp and forgotten about it? No. For two days and one night the entiré staff battled with those millions, and it was found that a badly-written figure “2” had been mistaken for “3.” Canada’s First Post Office Was Established In Montreal Nearly Two Centuries Ago A historic tablet, in Halifax, com- memorates the following: “In 1755 a line of packets was placed on the route between Falmouth and New York. This was part of a general scheme for closer and more regular communication between the colonies and the mother country. These pack- ets called at Halifax.

Food For Thought University Professors Are Said To Require Only Small Quantity According to Dr. Francis Benedict, of the Nutrition Laboratory of the Carnegie Institute, “half a peanut, or a biscuit, supplies all the brain food a university professor needs for an hour of continuous thought.” This, of course, says the Manchester Guardian, explains why university professors are rarely found on fair- grounds and competing in those feats of skill or strength where the prize is usually a cigar (complete with band), of, ‘alternatively, a bag of nuts. The reckless presentation of so much food for thought might re- sult in spontaneous combustion—the unfortunate professor migh®go oft like a tin of petrol, consumed by the fearful energy of his own mental processes. : None To Spare Little Binks had been invited to a party at his guvnor’s house, and | during the course of the evening his | hostess, trying to make conversation asked him, “And, Mr. Binks, have you an ear for music?" “Well—er—no, mum,” he mutter- ed; “I can't say I have.

Agriculturists’ Tour Rawhide Lasso Is Becoming Scarce Considerable Care Required To Make Them Properly Although the modern lasso, or lar- iat, is of a fine manila silk thread, many cowboys in various parts of the country prefer the original lasso of their predecessors of the range, which was composed of rawhide. The “boys” make these themselves, by a process of tanning which requires considerable technique, and a great deal of care. After it is well tanned, the cattle- man will trim the tanned hide into the shape of a circle. Then he will start at the outside, and cut a quar-,| ter-inch strip until he reaches the center. From an average-sized raw- hide, he will obtain, by this method, a strip of more than one hundred feet in length. Several hours are then spent mas- course, on the final length of the lar- fat required, and these are braided. Each year, these rawhide “ropes’’ last a lifetime. Maple Sugar Industry Canada The total production of maple syrup in Canada for 1930 was 2,185,- 379 gallons, valued at $3,869,107, and of maple sugar, 8,208,276 pounds, valued at $1,381,513. The average market price of maple syrup was $1.77 per gallon, and the average price for maple sugar was 17 cents per pound. The province of Quebec was the largest producer with 1,538,- 199 gallons of syrup valued at $2,- 399,590, 7,576,204 pounds of sugar valued at $1,212,193, and Ontario was next with 640,991 gallons of syrup, valued at $1,455,050, and 482,467 pounds of sugar valued at $120,617.

Gratuitous Advice The Habit Of Giving Advice Freely Is a Common Failing ‘The giving of gratuitous advice is one of the most used and most abused exercises of the human intellect.
