Outside the theatre gath- ered the hoi poUoi, to touch the hem Gf royalty's garment. Among the throng was a six-year- bld waif from Lambeth who scamper- fyl across the Wesiminster bridge at night "Just to smell the perfume of the ladies aa they passed into the theatre." So it waa a memorable occasion this week when the former waif, now the world's greatest comedian, entertained Mrs. Campbell at a din- ner party. It was the flrst time they bad ever met. Mrs. Campbell was fascinated. Charlie Chaplin was inwardly stir- red. Inspired by the great lady's trans- parent admiration, Chaplin waa at bis best. He re-enacted a recent Jewish play, speaking what seemed to be Yiddish.. He did imitations and impersonations, and ended by putting on a wig and playing a claHsic Japanese drama. "In heaven's name," said Mrs. Campbell in amazement, "where did you learn Japanese?" "I know no foreign language, but I know the music of most uf tiiem," Charlie replied. The Praying Mantis In many warm countries there is 1 queer-looking insect which goes by the name of the praying raaritis, or loothsayer. The former name was piven to it oecause the first pair of legs which spring out of the front part of the body are generally held in such a way as to suggest that the creature is putting its hands together In prayer- Its scientific name of mantis, Hrhich means soothsayer, or diviner, was given because the insect wa2 aup- [icsed to be endowed with strange powers- If a child lost its way and isked the mantis the direction of its aome, the insect was believed to point to the right road with its outstretched legs. We know better than this now, and merely regard the Df.antL: as a 7ery interesting tnsect hecr.use of its strange form and habits. So far from being devout and fentle, as its praying hands suggest, It is quite a hypocrite among insects- It is one of the most savage and bloodthirsty of insects. It lies in wait for its prey, and when an unsuspect- ing insect alights near by, the man- tis, with slow and stealthy steps, moves towards it, and suddenly iti forelimbs shoot out and the victim is caught and crushed. • At once it begins to tiar its prey to pieces with its strong jaws, and then, when the meal is done, the man- tis again puts its legs togtther in the ittitude of prayer, as though saying grace after meat, while it piously waits for its next victim stated thai ihere were certain chemi- cal ingredients which could be used when dyeing leather that wou.'d re- sist the destructive atmosphere of any city, thus guarantering the life of a leather cover Indeflaitoiy. This means that from new on every book published can be made to last for centuries. A valuanlo contribu- tion indeed to the world ot letters. No more disintegi-ation! No -more pulverization! It is a staggering thought. But In reality Mr. lune's solution only touches the fringe of the preblem. What we now need is for him to apply his genius tc the discovery of some method by which the contents of a book may be guar- anteed to live as long as its cover. â€" The Christian Science Monitor. Making Books Live For many years librarians, pub- ushers and authors have labort-d long and in vain trying to find out why leather-bound books shoulil disinteg- rate so rapidly. The problem has baffled the entire book world for ages. Various reasons have been put tor- ward in an attempt to explain the (natter. Some have said it was due to insects. Others have suggested that dampness may have caused the trouble, while certain literarv critics have cynically stated that poetic jus- tice alone was responsible. It now appears that ail these conjectures were wrong. In England, recently, chemical es- perts, carrying out some interesting experiments, have solved the mys- tery. They selected two books â€" one from the royal libraij at Buck- ingham Palace, and one f"om the library at Windsor Castle. The Buck- ingham Palace selection was a vol- ume of Disraeli's letters, v.-hlle the book taken from Windsor was an edi- tion of Lord Salisbury's letters. The investigators found tiat the one with the leather cover which had rested on the shelves of the city lib- rary was in a state of powdery de- creptltude, while the one that had enjoyed the benefits of a pure, rural existence at Windsor bad remained In a vigorous and unwriukled »tate >1 preservation. • This seemed very mystifving at lirst, although a Uteraty critic ex- pressed the opinion that Disraeli's etters would naturally pulverize a I book cover more rapidly than any- iiing Lord Salisbury ever wrote. This riew. however, was discarded by the chemical experts as en*ire.:y Irrele- rant. After much laboratory work, Fara- lay Innea, a descendant ot the fsm- ]us Michael Faraday and bimselt a loted chemist, was able to prove that the poor condition of the cUy-dwell- tng book cover was due to the sul- phuric add It had absorbed from the imoke-laden London atmosphere which the Windsor volume bad not been subjected to. Mr. In-.ifr also The Seeing Heart One grand, invaluable secret there is, however, which includes all the rest, and, what is comfortable, lies clearly in every man's power: To have 071 open, lolling heart, and what follows from the possession of such. Truly it has been said, em- phatically in these days ought to to be repeated : A loving Heart is the beginning of all Knowledge. This it is that opens the whole mind, quick- ens every faculty of the intellect to do its f5t work, that of knowing; and therefrom, by surr consequence, of vividly uttering-forth. Other secret for being "graphic" is there none, worth having: but this is an all- sufficient one. See, for example, what a small Boswell can do! Hereby, in- deed, is the whole man made a living mirror, wherein the wonders of this ever-wonderful Universe are, in their true light (which is ever a magical miraculous one) represented, and re- flected back on us. It has been said, "the heart sees farther than the head:" but, indeed, without the see- ing heart, there is no true seeing for the head so much as possible; all is mere oversight, hallucination and vain superficial phantasmagoria, which can permanently profit no one. â€" Thomas Carlyle, in "Essay on Biography." ^^^ 4^ That cant ve â- rS- ^t\e It pays to "Roll Your Own" with TURRET F I .N E COT CIGARETTE TOBACCO We Reco.-gaitnj "CH-^ArTECLfR" of "KOGUE" Ggarelle Papen €Uld POKER HANDS Assignments Show Decline Decrease in Bankruptcy Re- ports Shown At OttPwa Ottawa, â€" A substantial decrease was shown .n liabilities and also in the number of assignments under the Bankruptcy and Winding Up Acts In April, as compared with the corres- ponding month of last year, says a re- port issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Commercial failures in April numbered 141 with liabilities of $2,009,3S1 and compares with 184 as- signments and liabilities of 13.022,- 466 in April 1933. All areas showed de- creases with the exception of British Columbia where an increase of one was shown. In the Maritime provinces there were eight assignments in comparison with 15 in the same month last year, while in Quebec the failures number- ed 68. and in the Prairie provinces there were 13 as compared with 20 in April 1933. In British Columbia, the only area to show an increase, there were seven as compared with tlz in the corresponding month last year. "Now, Henry, give me a kits and you shall have a penny."

Bad for Eyesight Never Work in Twilight or Any L.ight But the Best Among the hundreds of women who come to him for help, only a few really do right by their eyes, declar- es a famous oculist. The others, he sometimes remarks, must spend a good part of their days thinking up ways to- harass and dull the orbs that should glow and sparkle with beauty. ^ No one really mean* to hurt her eyes, but such a negative attitude is not enough. We must take def- inite steps to give them the care that will prolong their service to use and at the same time make them better- looking. The girl who r;ads ;n ted is one of the worst offenders against both eye-health and eye-beauty. Not that anybody would wish to discourage so pleasant a habit- But as usual, there are right ways and wrong ways to ijo about it. Be sure that you choose the right way. First, look to your light. See that it is bright, but not too bright, that il is shaded so that no glare is thrown into your eyes and 'hat a steady, even gleam falls upon the book. The best position for it is fastened to the bed just over your head. If it is on a bedside table, the balb should be higher than your head and arranged so that your page will not be shadow- ed. In bed you should sit, not lie, eonifo'-tably against your pillows, so that your eyes may traverse the page without strain. When they feel tired after you have been writing, reading or sewing for a while, close hem for a few minutes and let your imagination picture distant hills and mountains at which to gaze. Never read or work in twilight, or in any light but the best. Bathe your eyes night and morning with a re- liable eye wash, such as a teaspoon boracic dis solved in a pmt of warm water. Keep your eye-cup clean and never use one used by someone else. Do not form nervous habits of rub- bing your eyes. If a particle of dirt gets into them, wash them and be careful not to irritate by rubbing.

Bonus Heips South Atvicein Fruit I .irmers Repoit Good Proiits MONTREAL â€" South African fruit farmers know very well indeed that theirs is a happy, happy land. C. H. Coltman, citrus fruit grower of the eastern Cape Province is satisfied of this particularly since he and Mrs. Coltman have begun to realize that there are comparatively few fruit growers of other ccuntries making round the worid trips fcr pleasure in these arduous times. "We're well off," he admitted when interviewed in the Queen's Hotel here recently, "because our fruit exports are still being bonused by the Gov- ernment. And from private inform- ation I received a few days ago the bonusing will continue for some time to come." South .A.frica. he explained, bonused the Empire export of fruits and other farmers' products during the time when England went off the gold standard and most of the Dominions followed suit- South Africa, great gold producer as she was, remained on the gold standard for a year longer. During this time her farmers found themselves unable to sell abroad be- cause of their gold basis costs, and hence the South African government established a system of bonusing ex- ports to make up the difference bet- ween the South .Afiicai. production costs and those of the rest of tha world. The bonuses have been maintained despite the fact that South Africa also is now off the gold standard, and ihey make all the difference betweer good profits and none to the producei of that Dominion. One other thing that is excellent in his home country was noted by Mr. Coltman in the course of his voyage. "I used to complain about our South African trains." he said, "but I'll never do so again after travelling on the American lines. We have hot weather too, but our cars are wider and you get a large and private com- partment to yourself very easily." Mr. and Mrs. Coltman are sailing to England shortly. The Password Is Quality in Poultry Canada Following Up Her Good Wi^rk in Ali Exports "If Canada is going to get its share of the British trade in poultry, in ba- con, in live cattle, or in any other of its agricultural products, the value and necessity of doing things better, not worse than competitors must be regarded as all-important." said Mr. W. A. Wilson, Canadian Government Animal Products Trade Commissioner in London. England, during his pres- ent visit to the Dominion. "We m.tde a good reputation with our flrst ship- ment of turkeys, because the quality was there and they were graded and packed according to government standards. The British trade responds to work well done. There is the mar- ket for Canadian poultry and other products and the password is Quality. "The season for exporting poBltry to Britain should be designed tor the 12 months of the year. Buyers over there do not want to change their source ot supply if they can be as- sured of ihe demand being met at all times." "Canada should follow the same policy in connection with the present opportunity open for the export of dressed chickens as il has done wiih turkeys exported to Britain tor the 1932 and 1933 Christmas trade. The 1.000.000 pounds of turkeys shipped in 1932 were 100 per cent, as to quality. In 1933 they were not quite so good as the previous year but this was due to some unusual difliculties assJciated with the shipping and are surmount- able. Turkeys for the British Christ- mas trade must reach the buyers at least one week before Christmas day." STOPS ITCHING In One Minute D. P D.
