The other had taken his own wife below surface T he supprstition is dealt with by ‘"‘The Listening Post" in The Cobalt Weekly Post last week as follows:â€" "A Toronto weman who has been visiting in South Porcupine has found t‘mt community a most hospitable place in most respects, but in one item there was disappointment. She was not permitted to descend into the bowels of the earth, although she had been anxious to see for herself what a gok} mine lodked like underground. And the reason given, she said, was that many of the men employed there â€"Ehe stated they were largely men of foreign birth who held this superstition â€"would have considered it unlucky for a woman to have come down the shaft. Trheir belief is that, should a member of the opposite sex descend the workâ€" ngs, an accident would follow as sureâ€" ly as night follows day, and probably one with serious, if not fatal, results. Arnl the visitor from the south learned further that, altho>ugh the ofi the propsorty rezarded the matter in the light of unfortunate coincidâ€" emees, there had been mishaps occur jwt after women had been brought beiow.

Fo: this reason some mining men, with their tongues in their cheeks, will menâ€" tiom the supposed superstition and sugâ€" gest that though they do not actually believe it themselves, all the muckers do, and so it is well to keep women irom going underground at the mines. Some will go a little further, with their tongues perhaps a little further in their checks, and say that while there may not be anything to the superstiâ€" thon, still there are queer things known, angd so on.

Canoe bark birch (white birch or beauâ€" leau) is the type of bark used. As reâ€" gards the time, and method, of peeling the bark, and the uses it can be put to, the period that it can beâ€"peeled ranges from about the middle of June to the 1st of August. The peeling is done by making an incision up and down the tree, being careful not to cut through the inner bark so as to avoid killing the tree. The bark may then be stripped off around the bowl of the tree. It is made pliable by the slight apâ€" plication of heat, which produces the effect of making the bark tough and leathery, and easy for handling or shaping. The principale uses to which the maâ€" terial can be put, is in the making of birch bark berry boxes, drinkâ€" tide mail a real birch bark envelope instead of the customary paper enâ€" velope. "What in the mischief have we got here," "Well, that‘s something new," "@Quite a stunt," etc., would be among the many remarks to be uttered. How Wooeden Cards Are Made After receiving the usual orthodox Christmas card year in and year out, it would create quite an implression to the recipient of a novelty of this naâ€" ture. Being made of birch bark, of course, the designs on the cards will necessarily require to be simple in effect. Birch Bark Envelopes These "business cards" certainly arcuse Oones curiosity, on accsunt of their unique feature. They are made of thin strips of wocd, and enclosed in a small neat envelope of birch bark. Anyone ordering the cards may ask for them to be manufactured from any kind of Eastern Canadian wood. It might be quite a stunt to have "cards" made from different species of Canaâ€" dian woods, with a few words printed on the back intimating that "This is A pocket sample of the material we are quoting onâ€", Magnific¢cent Canadian Birch" (or whatever the case may be), and enclose one along with the quotaâ€" tion. Thore is something else unique in the Christmas cards too.> They will appeal to everyone who appreciates originality.

The distributing agent for these novel articles is A. W. Barnhill, 57 St. James St. West, Montreal, a wellâ€"known local lumberman who has been in the forest products business for a number o years. Mr. Barnhill states that the "wooden business cards‘" attracted conâ€" siderable interest in Ottawa at the tim® of the Economic Conference, and that orders were received from various sources for these original and distincâ€" tive little mediums. | There is already quite a demand for ese various ncvelties, and anyone at 1, who is connected with the forest and nearly all had something specia to say about the novelties to be found on sale in the province.
