(By the Jayâ€"Walker) When King Victor Emmanuel beâ€" comes Emperor of Ethiopia there is gome question as to who should crown him. Haile Selassie would make a thorough job of it. | | l t When Abe Patterson, of Pembroke, was 10 years of age, he misbehaved in school, and an irate school mistress broke a ruler over his head. This event which impressed him deeply, started him upon his career as a wood carver, says The Toronto Star. Conscious of his fault he went home, and with his jack knife carved the teaâ€" cher a new ruleéer. Toâ€"day, at the of 25, he has added a chisel to the jack knife, and with these two homely imâ€" plements, and the years of experience that have followed his first essay, has created an array of animals, domestic and wild, .and other subjects, that are little short of astonishing in their arâ€" tistic conception and skilful handling. Basswood and birch are favourite | vehicles of this carver of Irish extracâ€" tion, who first saw the light of day in West â€" Heath township, Greenwood County, Ont. At first, and in fact until comparatively recently, wood carving with him was purely a hobby, the major‘ development of his art coming when, under the stress of unemployment, he was able to devote the whole of his time] to it. Though he is only 25 years of age, he has already established a local reâ€" putation, and his work is in great deâ€" mand amongst tourists and local people. Patterson‘s one ambition is to develop his art to a point:â€"where he will not need to do any other kind of work to earn a livelihood. He feels that given sufficient time and opportunity to study he may develop to a point where he will take his place amongst the recognâ€" ized sculptors and carvers of the Doâ€" mirmmon. of proportion that is unerring Says Youth Made Artist Through Whack on Head Ordinarily, even in his larger subâ€" jects, Patterson uses only a single block of wood, hewed direct from the tree trunk. Prior to commencing to work, he dries his wood carefully in an oven, and then bores holes in the base to prevent subsequent splitting. The caliâ€" pers and other common aids of the wood carver‘s art, are completely foreign to Abe, who carves a moose, A THING OF THE PAST CROWN HIM IS RTIGHT .000{. vatee‘ * ..01 «** The crew‘s day begins at seven, when #+* # * .“ 1 | they throw on flannels and go for a :::o} short walk.

No other form of sport calls for so much strength and energy t concentrated into so short a space of time. A runner, a swimmer, a racing cyclist, even a sculler, can stop when completely exhausted. But a man rowâ€" ing in a crew has to go one to the bitter ‘nd, however much he may long to flep into the bottom of the boat. And so, to stand the great strain of the fcur and oneâ€"quarter mile course the boat race crews have to ise as physically | fit as possible. They must go through 'long, weary training for six weeks beâ€" fore the race and they will have been practising a month before thiss No man, however well trained, can row in The chief guide a coach has to a man‘s fitness is his weight. During the early stages of practice this decreases as he throws off surolus fat. Later it will remain stationary and should inâ€" crease steadily towards the end, as his muscles develop. Any sudden or steady decrease at this period is a sure sign that something is wrong and his exerâ€" cise must ‘be relaxed or he will go "stale." With regard to the question of diet, the main point is to eat and drink at regular intervals. Eating between msals is absolutely barred. At one time crews used to have beefsteak for breakfast, an absurdly heavy dish, especially with tea, which converts it into leather in the stomach by the action of the tannic acid. a race without getting "winded." But some can row further at top pressure than others, because they have greater stamina. Style and stamina are the qualities a coach looks for among the budding "blues." Style is learned by years of practice, but stamina is largely a gift. It can, however, be increased by training and hard work. No man will have enough staming to last out the soat race unless he is propsrly trained. Stamina depends chiefly on the state of the heart. The ocbject of training is to increase the size of the heart and so enable it to perform a greater amcunt of work. This is called "hyperâ€" trophy" of the heart. Many people imagine that enlarging the heart in this way permanently damages it. This is nonsense, as any medical man knows. A normally strong heart will, after viclent exercise ceases, gradually return to its normal size.

(From the Amherstburg Echo) The best way to destroy ants is to let them start a feud. This profound entomological fact was discovered by Alex Knox while he was devising some means of depopulating the ants that inâ€" habited Major H. H. Timmis‘ lawn. Amherstburg. There were three antâ€" hills there that threated to ruin the lawn entirely. _ So remembering that ants do not like each other, he changed the insectâ€"homes around, digging up the dirt from one and putting it in the other‘s place. This caused the families to become mixed up and they immediâ€" ately began a war. A series of handâ€" toâ€"hand battles began with the ants from one colony fighting and killing the members of another colony, just like a Kentucky feud. The battle lastâ€" ed all afternoon and soon the ants had killed each other off until a few out of the hundreds were left.
