P. Geddes, of Timmins, has Interestâ€" ing and Rare Memento of the Crowning of Queen Victeria, Also Owns the First Postâ€" card Issued in Britain. Mr. J. P. Geddes, of Timmins, has two very valuable and interesting hisâ€" torical members in his possession. One of these is the first qpostcard issued by Gréat Britain. This was printed by Mr. Geddes‘ grandfather, the late John Evans, and engraved by John Geddes, of London, England, father of Mr. J. P. Geddes, of Timmins. John Geddes, of London., England, has been an enâ€" graver since his young days, and the length of this time may be gauged by the fact that he has been for 62 years with the one firm, which is a proof of his skill and loyalty alike. The other memento held by Mr. J. P. Geddes is a copy of The Sun, of London, England, dated June 28th, 1838, and giving a detailed account of the coronation of Queen Victoria. Despite its ninetyâ€"two years of age the paper is in a good state of preservation. The paper is somewhat yellowed with On the first page of this issue of The Sun is given a large plicture of the young Queen who ascended the British throne in 1838, nearly thirty years beâ€" fore there was a Dominion of Canada. The picture, 11 inches by 14, is a notâ€" able example of the engraver‘s art and was engraved in the shops of De La Rue and Co., the firm for whom Mr. John Geddes has worked for 62 years. age but is in better condition than toâ€" day‘s paper will be in ten years. The Sun of June 28th, 1838, comâ€" menced its extended story of the coronâ€" ation of Queen Victoria with the words: "At seventeen minutes past Three o‘clock this morning, a Royal salute of twentyâ€"ons guns announced that the Sun was then rising upon the joyous day, when the Crown of these great realms was to be placed upon the head of the most popular and beloved Sovâ€" ereign that has wielded the British sceptre since the days of Alfred. The whole metropolis was literally awakenâ€" ed and presented a scene of bustle and excitement rarely, if ever equalled. At four o‘clock the streets were so throngâ€" ed with carriages and prledestrians that they were in many places impassable and the whole population seemed to have been poured out in the direction of the Parks and of Westminister Abâ€" bey. Even so early as six o‘clock the Green Park, the Mall, and the enclosâ€" ure in St. James‘ Park, were filled with persons of all ranks, and at that early hour the struggle for places commentâ€" ed, but those who were successful in taking up the best positions were preâ€" mature in their triumph. For soon afterwards the police tocok ur) their ground, and the military also made their appearance in the open space, or parade, in front of the Queen‘s palace, and by degrees the crowds were comâ€" pelled to retire within the inclosures, {a.nd down the Mall." After further description of the immense crowds ana@ their points of vantage, The Sun proâ€" ceeds to refer to the innumerable notâ€" _ables of all the countries of the world present for the occasion. Then folâ€" lows a list of all in the official prtrocesâ€" _sion. Next is given a detailed account _of the ceremonies. The Sun also pubâ€" ~lishes a page of anecdotes about previâ€" ous British coronations, as well as columns of description of the historical places and articles connected with the crowning of the kings and queens of England and Great Britain. In concluding its remarkable account THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO of the coronation, The Sun says:â€""One of our correspondents who was presen}t in the Choir of Westminister Abbey throughout the whole of the august ceremonial, and whose detailed report of the proceedings we shall lay before the public in our next, represents the wcene as the most magnificently grand ever witnessed. The music, with but a trifling exception or two, he states to have gone off in the most compllete and satisfactory manner. The effect of the various choruses was majestic in the extreme." The paper is a remarkably interesting and valuable souvenir and at this parâ€" ticular time of year has special interâ€" est for all British people. A verbal sketch of Her Majesty adds interest to the wonderful issue of The Sun of Coronation Day, 1838. Using Safety Glass in Studebaker Automobiles Studebaker has increased its use of Duplate safety glass by installing it throughout as standard equipment on its 220 inch, 25â€"passenger, parlorâ€"type bus, without extra cost, according to the Timmins Garage, Limited, Studeâ€" baker dealers here. "Figures show that fiying glass is the most frequent cause of injury in moâ€" tor car accidents, no less than 650 of all automobile injuries being due to this menace. Ever watchful for the welfare and safety of owners, Studeâ€" baker has striven~to protect its cars with adequate safety features, not least smong them being safety glass. "Safety glass is also used on many Studebaker passenger cars and in three new Studebaker ambulances recently introduced. "Duplate safety glass eliminates the danger of flying glass. It is made by inserting a sheet of transparent Pyraâ€" lin or pyroxylin plastic between two panes of plate glass. Due to this proâ€" cess of lamination, the glass is stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickâ€" mness. "Glass is a mineral substance and is easily shattered by hard shocks and heavy impacts. Pyralin is of vegetable origin. It is chemically transformed cotton, not so hard as glass, but tough and flexible. By combining two sheets of plate glass with one of Pyralin, the resulting product is unusually strong. While the glass on either side might break, it cannot shatter or fly because of the Pyralin binder which holds it together." DBarrie Examiner:â€"Here‘s another record, and the honours are shared beâ€" tween the post offices of Orillia and Port Perry. Fortyâ€"six years ago J. W. Burnham, division court clerk at Port Perry, mailed a post card to J. P. Henâ€" derson, division court clerk at, Orillia, informing him of a division court case under consideration. That occurred on December 26, 1884. Last week J. B. Henderson, present court clerk at Orilâ€" lia and son of the former clerk, receivâ€" ed the post card in his morning mail. In these days of fast air mail the post card made rapid progress covering the one hundred and five miles between the two towns.

RAIN ENDS BUSH FAIRES AT KIRKLAND LAKE LAST WEEK Fires Had Become Somewhat Threatenâ€" ing When the Heavy Rains at the ‘Weekâ€"end Helped to Bring Them Under Control. Last week bush fires seemed for a | time to threaten Kirkland Lake. The fires started about 10 o‘clock on Friâ€" day morning and soon had assumed serious proportions on the road beâ€" tween Swastika and Kirkland. Motorâ€" ists on this road brought word to other parts of the North, their stories sugâ€" gesting serious fires. The fires are said to have originated when a sudden change of wind surprised the fire ranâ€" gers who were burning out sod near the Kirklandâ€"Canadian Mine. The flames jumped from their control, acâ€" cording to accounts, and rushed through about a mile of country on quarter mile front. Several hundred miners and the fire department from Kirkland Lake were called out and a mile of hose was laid to battle ther fire while the fire rangers began dlg- zing protecting and retarding trenchesl to safeguard against further spread of | the fires There were some who were afraid that the fire would creep in to Kirkland Lake where the results | would be serious there being so many . buildings of light construction in the town. Fortunately, however, the town of Kirkland Lake escaped all serious danger. Drenching rains and a change of wind came Friday afternoon and. the fire danger was removed. The‘ }heavy rains gave the fireâ€"fighters Justl the little help necessary to promptly get the fires under control and eventuâ€" ally all menace was removed. The fires was fully under control by 4 o‘clock on Friday afternoon. Fire Chief R. J. Matheson, of Kirkland Lake, and his brigade, are credited with doing exâ€" ‘cellent work in the fighting of the fires, while the work of the fire rangers was also greatly commended. An odd fact about the fires was that no word of them seemed to reach Timmins until after the danger had been passed. Inâ€" deed, there were many here who first heard about the fires after the news reached here through The Ottawa Journal‘s report of the fires being drenched out by the heavy rains. (By Barbara B. Brooks) When the word "greens‘"‘ is mentionâ€" ed the thoughts of ninetyâ€"ning people out of a hundred turn to spinach. This is because spinach has been given so much publicity. A wellâ€"known chemist commented recently that if a manuâ€" facturer should make the claims for his product that nutritionists have made for spinach he would be repriâ€" manded by the government. About Forty Varieties of Healthful "Greens" spinach is a healthful food but there are at least thirtyâ€"eight other varieties of fresh greens which are within the reach of most of us at some time of the year. This one class of foods gives a wide range of flavoursâ€"spicy, bitter, aromatic, sweetâ€"either eaten raw Oor properly cooked. It is careless cooking which has given so many greens (literâ€" ally) a black eye. The usual rule is quick, short cooking with little water. There are a few exceptions to this as for instance turnips tops, mustard greens and kale after they have passâ€" ed their first stage of delicacy. The cooking of greens begins with the washing. No one likes grit and since the cooking will not remain it, special care must be taken in the cleanâ€" ing. Scoak leafy greens in plenty of luckewarm water. An hour‘s soaking will free the leaves from sand and grit. Lift them out of the water and rinse in clear water. Draining only puts the sand back again into the greens. Enough water will cling to the leaves of spinach and chard to make addiâ€" tional water unnecessary for cooking. Put the washed greens into kettle, cover and cook slowly until encugh liquid has formed to keep the greens from burning. Continue ccoking, stirâ€" ring occasionally until the leaves are tender. Cooked spinach or chard may be arranged in a casserole in layers alâ€" ternating with cooked noodles or maâ€" caroni and white sauce. Sprinkle the top liberally with grated cheese and crumbs (rolled corm flakes are good) and brown in the oven. Very young, tender turnip greens are commonly used in certain sections of the country. They may be cooked alone or in combination with beet greens, radish greens, kale or dandelion. A special luncheon menu for this time of year has been a main vegeâ€" table of buttered asparagus (whole stalks) or spinach garnish with egg; new potatoes with cream sauce; butterâ€" ed new peas and baby carrots. Garnâ€" ish the plate with parsley. Hot bran muffins are right to serve instead of bread and fresh stawbherries or canned peaches furnish a pleasing desert. Fergus Heraldâ€"Record:â€"Last week we spent a day or two in Toronto, alâ€" ways an interesting experience now that it is long enough ago since we livâ€" ed there to find things differen;. We had a call to make and found the office with the man‘s name on the door away up nine or ten stories above the street. Apparently he shared the office with another, for there were two names on the door, and that of the man we did not know was a good old Scottish name. When we got inside, the man we wantâ€" ed to see was busy for a time and his fellow tenant spoke to us. It was somethingâ€"of a surprise to find this "Sseotchman" was a gentleman with distinctly Hebrew countenance and acâ€" cent. However, there isn‘t such a difâ€" ference after all, for when he spoke, it was to borrow a match. BABY MOOSE FOUND ASLEEP | 11 1: IN BUNK OF M. U. BATES‘ CAMP: You‘ll like them ‘The foilowing "nature note" in from | the last issue of The Sudbury Star:â€" | ‘"‘Baby moose appreciate a place in | l the sun. Also, they sometimes ‘"Baby moose appreciate a place in the sun. Also, they sometimes gei tired of the great outdoors and, after the manner of the human, like their rest in a cosy bunk. M. U. Bates, of Metagama, reports that recently h went out to one of his camps, and found that some river Griyers, after making themselves at home, had leift the door of the camp open. Mr. Bates entered, and sound asleep in one of the lower bunks found two calf moose. He tried to get them outside, but they were too sleepy to move, so he carried then:. both out and placed them on the grass. They did not like that, and they walked back to the porch of the camp picked out a sunny spot and curled up to finâ€" ish their nap. Mr. Bates says that to disabuse the idea that this might be a "fish" story he succeeded in taking pictures of the sleeping pair." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"In the opinion of Mr. Ferguson and many others the remark about "not a fiveâ€" cent piece" could only have come from a jitney statesman. Ottawa Journal:â€"There is much more in a vein of fine irony and cutting sarcasm, but in particular there is a phrase on page 1931 of Hansard which deserves to be rescued from oblivion. Said Mr. Irvine: "It is part of the irony of fate that it should have fallen to the lot of the first western Minister of Finance to drop the cut flowers of British preference on the mangled corpse of free trade."
