Kingston hag furnished the Cang- dian parliament and the Ontario legislature with not only premiers and other ministers of the Crown, but it has supplied both of them with sergeants-af-arms. For many years the late Col Henry R. Smith was sergeant-at-arms in the House of Commons and brought great dignity to bear upon this office attached to the assembly of the people. Now another Kingston colonel, in the per- son of Col, G. Hunter Ogilvie, has been chosen to fill the post of serg- eant-at-arms in the Ontario legisla- ture. Col. Ogilvie has had a life- long military experience, and that he will fill this legislative post with the dignity called for goes without saying. The duties of the sergeant- at-arms include the ejection of un- ruly members, It might not pe pos- sible to eject a very unruly member in a dignified manner, but Col. Qgil- vie will have behind him the uni- formed mén of the attorney-general's provinelal police force should he need aid, 4 JAM TOMORROW. No, no, Sir Henry, it won't quite do. You declare that "No reason- able person can help coming to the conclusion that Canada's problems are almost entirely problems of population. If Canada had twenty- five millions, most of the problems would disapear." And then, doubt- Jess, Canada could sit back with fold- ed arms, not a cloud in her sky, not an obstacle in her path. . The human mind is incurably hopeful. There's always a good time coming, boys, when all the {| nasty sume will be correctly added and the slate wiped clean. All our troubles will be at an end, says Sir Henry, if we will only tmport enough immigrants to make his railroads pay. The seftlers are certain to come, and just as surely will the complex- ity and painfulness of our problems increase. When our population has reached the twenty-five milion mark we' will look back on these as the brief, happy days of adolescence, when we had won free from the troubles of infancy and had not yet assumed the full burdens of matur- ity. Harassed ststesmen of other countries, including the United States, look on Canada as the only tranquil and enviable country in the northern hemisphere. The road ahead will be steeper, not easter. But it is only on diffi- ouity and opposition that we grow strong. As long as we are worth our salt we will press on, subduing the wildernesses that we pierce in pursuit of the phantom, untroubled Eldorado of our dreams. HAVE ANOTHER EAR. Alas! brothers, the season for corn on the cob is about to end, and has never a single poet lifted his voice in pralee of this delicacy? What could he not make of, Those vaporous: rows of aureate pearls Glowing 'beneath the golden tide of butter, keen with salt. Surely some other literature than that of breakfast-food could wax rap- turous over the sweet-heart of the corn,' that marvellous, dewy white- ness, honey sweet, which at last yields itself up to strong, quefting teeth. Sacred. literature bears witness to the seductions of corn. When the timid Israelites cowering in the des- ert fastnegses of Sinai learned Cana- an was 'a land of corn and wine" they experienced a sudden change of heart and burst across the Jordan, Their depredations among the corn fields and wine jars of the Hittites, Hivites and Jebusites are reported to have been something scandalous. They knew what was good, did those hairy 'patriarchs. But whoever undertakes to tell the world of the joys of green corn must leave a certain incompleteness in his description of the table scene. To those who limit themselves to six or eight large ears at a sitting, there Is gomething almost disgusting about those who do not desist till they have 'eaten their length in corn." Their barbaric cries of pleasure, their gneshing,' rending ouslaught and the drip of warm oil from their elbows are quite too suggestive of seenes on the cannibal islands, "But what if shameless barbarism does once a year surround our polite tables? Life is short and false teeth overtake the strongest. So butter your ears and be merry, for Golden Bantam does not &TOW In the fields of Elysium, -------- AIRSHIPS AT LAST. Within three years, according to the cheerful anmouncement of Ajr Vice-Marshal Brackner, a man can file the cablegram "See you Satur- day" on a Wednesday evening in London and keep the appointment in Montreal. That city will be nearer to London than she is to Saskatoon ~--for time rather than mileage is the true measure of distance. Orders for the construction of air liners Which will cross the Atlantic in two days and a halt have already been The apathy of all the Dominions sive Australia to this form of com {munication can only be excused om 7 2 stand to benefit in many ways by the have had any time théee last four years if we had not been content to sit back and let' England assume all the risk. Any'improvement in com- munication tends to increase the ex- change of commodities, and such a one as this, which more than palves the distance, will have a very mark- ed effect. These airships will show- er English banknotes on our indus- trial, mining and lumber develop- ments, for investors who would hesi- tate to send their funds ten days journey from home will easily put their money into Canada two and a balf days distant. Imperial affairs will also benefit Personal consulta- tions at London before any import- ant decision would make real that Imperial unity which we profess but do not yet possess. There was some truth in the air marshal's jocu- lar suggestion that the prime minis- ter would now have to spend his brief holidays in flying to Ottawa or Cape Town to make speeches on foreign policy. Many other changes will be accepted as part of our daily life, and we will be amazed at our long delay in adopting so beneficial an instrument as the airship. At the close of the war, Britain possessed airships, equipment and, above all, personnel such as not even Germany could muster. The ques- tion then was how to convert this unique organization to peaceful use. The home government could not afford to maintain it alone, the Do- minions refused to interef™ them- selves in the matter and private capi- tal saw no adequate return jor the risk involved in operating these ships, One of them made a demon- stration voyage to the United States and back; another demonstrated other possibilities by exploding on its trial trip. That was the death- blow to the organization, which lost all expectation of useful employment and disintegrated. Now at last, after wasted years, the designers have been called back to their draughting tables and their ideas, clothed in metal and fabric, will soon be shuttling the narrow Atlantic. a YhyBeg SEPTEMBER 35. When Canada was invaded In 1776 by rebels from the Thirteen Colonies, bent on entangling the Canadian colonies into the revolu- tion, General Guy Carleton, who was then governor, made use of the old French feudal system to aid in defending the country. Britain had maintained the old French laws and confirmed the seigneurs In their powers. Accordingly, when Carleton called upon them to per- form the military duties which their patents from the government call- ed for they responded with alacrity. Their tenants, however, had growa soft with many years of peace and declined to fight. This reluctance the invaders interpreted as disloyal- ty, and acted upon their conclusions by sénding agents into the country to stir up the inhabitants to active rebellion. History tells the story of their failure. Among the agents sent was Ethan Allan, who headed a reconnoitering party of two hundred men. He spied out the position at Montreal and was told the town was weakly defended. Eager for military glory and rashly underestimating the spirit of the Canadians, he de- cided to attack the city. Flushed with the fever of his own arrogance, he advanced upon the environs of the little town. Within, the adroit defenders of Montreal allowed Al- lan's soldiers to advance to-a point where they were entirely surronnd- ed and forced to surrender. Ethan Allan himself was captured with all his men. The attack took place on this day in 1776. Allan was sent to England and imprisoned in Pen. dennis Castle. 3 eath Ausiversary Of the Great War Sept. 25th, 1014. Gen.

In a former article I spoke about a chap who was unable to sleep, because the washer on the water tap being worn, there was a con- stant dripping of the water. Yet he | slept soundly notwithstanding the noise of a trolley car that passed within fifteen féet of his window, every half hour during the might. Why? Because the tap was an unusual noise, and the trolley car was. not. This unusual sound of the tap aroused his mental faculties and kept him awake. Another man who always eats a little luneh, or drinks a little warm milk before retiring, will find him- self unable to sleep if he omits the lunch or milk, Why? | Again because his stomach has got | the "habit" of expecting this food. The blood' goes down from his head to the stomach in order to digest this food, and so his mental facuMies be- coming dulled, he: goes off to sleep. If he should begin to think about | the fact that he has not had his | | lunch, his méntal faculties Will get GENTLEMEN: -- store your store. store your meeting possible.

It is not uncommon in hospitals, | | to give wakeful patients a bowl of | warm milk, a few minutes before the lights are put out for the night. Now what about inducing sleep? I don't want to go into all the methods in use, such as the counting of sheep going over a fence, and other ways of a gimilar nature. The idea behind these is that the very monotony of the job of counting, will tire you mentally, and you'll drop off to sleep. In other words you lose interest in the matter, and with the loss of interest comes loss of concentration, and with loss of concentration, comes sleep. So that to induce sleep, the or- dinary method of healthy people, is simply a matter of habit. You eat, time comes. If you have worked too hard it may come on sooner; if not 'so hard, then a little later. But ordinarily you'll g» off to sleep in the usual way, at the usual time. . If you can't go to sleep there is a reason. That reason {is likely because something has happened through the day, or may happen on the morrow, that keeps your interest aroused. To get to sleep you must simply lose that interest for ths (me being. | WHI THE WEATHER! | Secrétary, American Meteoroiogioal Boctsty, Tells How. SF Why The Rainbow? The rainbow appears as a series of beautiful concentric colored arcs seen In the sky when ight from a low sun or moon shines on falling rain. Sometimes there are two or more rainbows, one above the other; the most brilliant one is called the primary bow and has a red outer border and a blue or violet inner | border; the next brightest, the sec- ondary bow, is a larger circle, and has its colors arranged in the oppo- site order. The primary rainbow is made by two processes, refraction and reflec- tion. The sunlight enters each of a multitude of raindrops and in do- 80 is bent, or refracted. The | rays are bent less than the or- ange and yellow, these less than the green and blue, while the indigo and violet are bent most or all. Before the sunlight goes into the drops all these colors are intermingled so that the light looks only white, but the different bending separates the col- ors go that they can be séen. The several colors are them reflected from the inside of each drop as from a mirror. In the case of the primary bow there is juet one such reflec- tion, but, in the secondary bow, a double internal reflection which re verses the order of the colors. On leaving the drops the rays are again refracted, or spread aparc, some more. , The purity of the colors depends upon the uniformity of the drops. Generally, the larger the drops the more brilliant the culoring. ; -------------- dist district meeting held its regular Se#sion in Grace Church 'Monday.
