Transcontinental Railway Company they coimted upon chickens before be ing hatched Almost at- the very in- of the inquiry it dawned up on them that whatever the motive was which actuated Mr j it had nothing to do with any wrong doing on the part of the engineering staff and when Mr Lujpsden admit ted this fact and likewise exonerated the Railway Commission as well Conservative members of the Com mittee sought for some avenue of es cape First trying to induce Mr Iiumsden to have counsel Secondly by demanding- that the Conservative minority should have the naming of a counsel which Mr had de clared he did not want and thirdly when the whole committee arranged that Messrs and Barker should submit a name to the commit tee and when these two gentlemen presented that of Wallace of the Supreme Court of Canada and a Conservative the Tory part of the Committee still refused claiming that the minority should name Mr counsel It was the most singular ever made in all the history of Canadian parliamentary experience Well the Tory section of the Inves tigating Committee finding that they could not run things to suit their own political ends resigned in a body Whereupon the Committee ap pointed Mr Chrysler KC of Otta wa to represent people and an nounced that the investigation would proceed as if nothing had happened The Conservatives though if they re- the Committee would disband and there would he- no investigation which would have suited their views to a demonstration but the Commit thought differently and are proceeding with the inquiry in order to find out from Mr just why he resigned and the names of the engineers if any who had forfeit ed his confidence As affairs stand now all parties are represented by counsel and Mr will consult with Mr Chrysler and the investigation will proceed just the same as if the Conservatives had remained on the committee The Conservatives were not anxious to have this matter robed for the investigation was proposed by Sir Wilfrid They have followed the lead of Mr who resign ed because he said he had lost corr fidence in his staff The Conservatives resigned from the committee because they had lost confidence in them

natural paths lead ing here and there in dell bank knoll or wilderness 1 got the carpenter to build a little feeding pavilion of oak on oak posts with a sloping shingle roof keep oil the snow and rain Inside there are three tiers of oaken trays in which I have placed every morning a mixture of chopped fat suet seeds oats cracked Indian maize meal and grit Over this mixture we pour boil ing water and when it cools a little the trays arc filled with it On the ground beneath the pavilron we J lace a large very shallow earthenware pan of fresh water This is renewed twice a day in the frosty weather and every morning otherwise Fresh wa ter is as necessary as food to our bird friends especially in cold weath er On the crossbars that support or Uphold this structure I hang cocoa- nuts stulled with suet Our acrobat ic friends the tits when regaling themselves on these won drous antics I This birdfeeding pavilion stands in front of our diningroom windows and it is quite delightful to sec the joy and surprise of the many varieties of birds which visit it I have also Invented feeding troughs for the birds which roofed oyer so as to pro tect them whilst feeding from the and rain These troughs arc placed in sheltered corners of the gar dens On almost every tree I have hung up great feeding sticks with deep round holes which are filled with fat and seeds regularly In the wilderness I hang up meaty hones on tree branches and other at which birds like to peck l Outside each of the bedroom win dows I have had oak trays put up on of iron On these- trays and fresh water are placed every morning for the birds I have also put several hundreds nesting- boxes in trees and in many quiet retreats all over the grounds so I think and hope the birds are happy here In America we always gave the birds a- Christmas tree and I have tried to keep up the custom my adopted home Our servants are very good to the birds and outside the windows many birds Iced without fear or

made one day at a mill In Berkshire when a careless workman forgot in put in the sizing material It may be imagined what angry scenes would take place at the mill as thcwhole of the paper made was regarded as being useless The pro prietor of the mill desired to write a note shortly afterwards and he took a piece of wastepaper thinking it was good enough lor the purpose To his intense annoyance the ink spread all over the paper AH of a sudden here flashed over his mind the thought that this paper would do in stead of sand for drying ink and he at once advertised his wastepaper as blotting There was such a big demand that the mill ceased to make ordinary paper and was soon occupied in making blotting only the use of which spread to all countries The result now is that the descendant of the discoverer owns the largest mill in the world for the manufacture of this special kind of paper The reason the paper Is of use in drying ink is that really it is a mass of hairlike tubes which
