pithy ancedotes of the famous in the autumn of 1815 a young american called on the noted london publisher john murray 3rd bring ing with him the ms of an adventure book called typee the work of his brother herman melville murray a connoisseur in this class of work was attracted by the drama tic interest of the narrative and the taciness of the style says george paston in at john murrays but he scented the forbidden thing the taint of fiction it was not till december 3 1845 and he decided after making a few omissions on th score of taste to publish typee he offered to pay one hundred pounds 500 for the english copy right but he changed the title of the first edition to four months among the natives of the mar quesas typee was not an outstand ing success but it had a fair sale for a first book and seems to have puzzled the critics who of course had no suspicion that the author would even he regarded as a classic the following year murray pub lished melvilles omoo but that ended the association between them and thereby murray lost the honor of publishing melvilles masterpiece moby dick unable to move without pain kruschen brought her joyous relief she had suffered so long that she despaired of getting relief that was the state of this woman when she was persuaded to try kruschen salts today she finds life a joy read this letter from her daughter five years ago my mother was practically crippled with rheumatoid arthritis at one time she was scarce ly able to move a limb she lost faith in medicines until we persuad ed her to give kruschen salts a trial she has kept to it ever since and never misses her daily dose today she can do nearly all her own work and go round the same as before she was ill yet at one time she was afraid she would never find relief kruschen has given her new joy in living mrs kjp rheumatic conditions are often the result of an excess of uric acid in the body tyo of the ingredients of kruschen salts have the power of dissolving uric acid deposits other ingredients of these salts assist na ture to expel these dissolved deposits through the natural channels financial the break between john murray and herman melville mr paston thinks may be explained by a letter from the virtuous sir walter farqu- har to the good lord ashley which was forwarded to murray my dear ashley write sir wal ter i am anxious that you should speak to mr murray on the subject of two volumes in the home and colonial library entitled typee and omoo by herman melville in the original prospectus of this series it is stated to be the publishers intention to publish a number of useful and entertaining volumes the utmost care being at all times exercised in the selection of the works so that they shall contain nothing offensive to the morals or good taste now i do not hesitate in saying that while in the great majority of the volumes mr murray has re deemed his pledge he has entirely departed from it by allowing the pub lication of typee and omoo they are not works that any mother would like to see in the hands of her daughters and as such are not suited to he on the drawingroom table i think it important to elicit from him murray some assurance that there shall not appear in his series another volume similar in character for without such assurance i shall be reluctantly compelled to cease sub scribing to the series in one of his letters to his daugh ter written from aberdeen scotland at the time re received the degree of doctor of liter iture from aberdeen university maarten maartens the dutch novelist wrote professor r told me of a man here who had received a telegram that he must break to his sister the news of her husbands quite sudden death he went straight to her house burst in and said lizzie ive got very bad news for you about john hes in heaven heres another of the professors stories contained in the same letter taken from the letters of maarten maartens edited by his daughter a friend of mrs rs took three umbrellas to be covered and went shopping by accident she took a ladys umbrella in a shop and the lady turned and said excuse me thats my umbrella oh i beg your pardon well and good but when she had fetched her three umbrellas she got into a street car and there sat the lady all the way the lady was watching her and said nothing but getting out she passed her stopped and said distinctly i see your afternoon has not been unprofit able after all awful when maarten maartens visited the united states in the spring of 1907 his progress was triumphant docs any one read him today i won der ever a graceful and witty fpeaker he was called upon to give an afterdinner speech in brooklyn turning to his hosts he said give me a subject gentlemen your little queen suggested some one aptly quoting a famous answer to king

they almost at birth george gersh win during ihe world war an army doctor was nauseated when he saw flynaggots crawling in the wounds of soldiers his nausea gave way to amazement when he found that these very wounds were cleaner and that they healed more rapidly than others which had been treated by the most approved methods now surgeons all over the world use maggots to treat deep infections difficult to reach in ordinary surgical ways in every country there are laboratories where sterile maggots are bred for hospitals but why should maggots have this curing power allantoin is the an swer given by dr william robinson of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine it is a complex chemical compound deposited by the maggot as it works its way through a wound that allantoin has healing properties has long been known dr c j macalister used it successfully twentythree years ago in curing ul cers and he it seems found that european peasants long treated their sores with roots of comfrey which contains allantoin fine detective work dr robinsons work is a fine ex ample of what can be done by de tective methods or putting two and two together he began by reasoning that no organism deliberately sets out to help another man excepted there was also the fact that embry onic tissue has healing properties chemical analysis showed that it con tains allantoin so robinson was led to the conclusion that maggots may heal human wounds by excreting something which contains alantoin tests in the laboratory proved that he was right the new 50ton mill on the algoid mines property

agricultural mainstay of the west ern irrigated sections the social credit leader quoted figures to show the government su gar tax amounted to 54 per cent of the money received by lethbridge farmers for their beets last year it also represented 66 per cent more than the labor costs of the crop alberta had 200000 acres of land that could be used to grow sugar beets mr blackmore said all the sugar supplies of the country could be grown in canada mr blackmore suggested the one- cent tax be refunded to beet farmers who could split it with the beet laborers canada he said was the only country that did not bonus the industry it would cost the treasury about 1100000 a year to refund the sugar tax to beet farmers he said canada imported 84 per cent of its sugar said h a mckenzie lib lambtonkcnt
