The mortal remains of Jeremy Bentham of England never were buried. Why? Because it was Ben- tham's wish that his both' be kept above ground. The skeleton was kept for years by a Dr. Smith. and is now in one of the London muse- ums. Thus it came about that the whim of a dying. senile old man had a literal fulfillment.
A nib is not a pen - not even a steel pen - though we often make use of the word in this sense; it is the point of the pen. Yet the word takes us back to the beginning of writing, the inven- tion of which was ascribed by the ancient Egyptians to the god
:'I'hoth. He was a quill pusher of
the gods and was ty-pified on earth the sacred Llbes, the bird flats
with its pointed beak. And this beak may rightly be called a "nib",
. for the word is the same as "neb", - which means a beak.
The ostrich is as old if not old-
yer than the human race. It is
mentioned a couple of times in the book of Job. The wings of the bird are useless for flight but are of great help in running. An adult ostrich can outrun the fastest race horse. 0 I O

Highway expenditure exceeded motor vehicle revenues in all pro- vincca except Ontario. where the two figures were approximately

When the Spaniards firet intro- duced tobacco into Spain from Cuba, they cultivated the plant in their gardens and rolled it up for smoking like they saw the Indians doing. when the growers of Lady Nicotine offered s. smoke to a friend, he usually said. "his de mi Oigarral" (This cigar is from my garden) and so. the word cigar came into universal usage.
Many years ago the following ad appeared in several country weeklies in the United States: "Sure way to kill potato bug: Send 22 cents in stamps or coin to X. Y. Z.. - for a recipe that kills 'em."
Inside of a fortnight some 7000 farmers paid their little fee and got this bit of cheering news: "Put your bug on a stone. Then hit it with another stone."
A clergyman writing in the Lon- don spectator some years ago wrote: "It is deplorable to think of a parish where there are 30,000 people living without Christian burial."
He was soliciting subscriptions for the purchase of a cemetery for his parish then numbering 30,000 inhabitants. - .

How often have you heard some- body say about some supposed sec- ret. "Oh, a little bird told me.' This almost universal adage dates from very early times. Solomon, according to the Koran, was first informed by a. bird of all the do- ings of the Queen of Sheba. Again in Ecclcs. l0-20 we read: "Curse not the king. no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wing shall tell the matter."
Seven removals was the limit of relationship among the Jews. The wise men of old were infatuated with the number seven; they ob- - served 7 openings to the head - two eyes. typifying the sun and moon, and 5 openings to the nos- trils, ears and mouth, correspond- ing with the 5 planets. We have 7 days of the week, seven gifts of the Holy Ghost. 7 deadly sins. 7 cardinal virtues, '7 churches of Asia. 7 champions of Christendom. 7 wonders of the world, etc, Thus it may be seen from the above few examples the important role that seven plays in world events.

of the wife and the sup the husband. The shoe played an important role in the symbolism of the early Jews. An example of this may be read in the Psa.lmist's phrase - "Over Eden. 1 will cast my shoe."
The Tally was a notched stick, used in keeping accounts in by. gene days. At one time tallies were issued by the nnxli-h sovarnrnent as certificates of its ' fsbtedness. and were a recognised species of security. The sticks used were of seasoned willow or hazel, and were notched on the age to represent the amount of debt. nnall notches signifying pence, larger. shillings and still larger, pounds. etc. The stick was then split in two parts and one piece was held by the creditor, while the other was laid aside as a record. The system of tallies was not done away with until nearly the and of the lath century.

fish. Roddy pounced on it.
"Thief! Robberl" snarled Billy Mink, and his eyes were redder than ever. He had stopped only a few feet from Roddy. Without that fish he knew,he could keep out of Reddo"s reach without much trouble. What he wanted to do now was to lead Roddy away so that he would not find where he had hid- den those other fish. so he did his best to try to make Raddy chase him. He was lmpudent. as im- pudent, as only a Mink can be, He snarled right in Roddy! face. He dared Reddy to try to catch him. Roddy paid no attention to him. He ate that fish. He ate it while all the time Billy-Mink was looking on. and calling him tlhief. robber and every bad name he could think of. When the little fish had disap- peared. Reddy licked his lips. Then he grinned at Billy Mink.
"Why not go catch me another?" he asked and grinned again.,It was most provoking.
Then Roddy turned and walked over to a small hole in the snow. He paid no attention to Billy Mink. There was a hard crust over the snow. It was difficult to break through. At first Reddyis claws just slipped over the ice wh'-- he tried to dig that hole larger. He kept at it however, and presently a bit of the crust broke away, Another piece broke off. Digging in the sort snow underneath was easy. Raddy made the snow fly much as Johnny i...uok makes the sand fly when he digs. Billy Mink, nnerling with rage. but not daring to interfere. looked on.
It didnt take long for Reddy to dig dawn to the ground, There. under the snow. was a hollow log. Reddy's nose told him that inside that log were fish. The opening was at the end of the old log. but it wasn't big enough for Raddy to get his head inside. However, he could get a paw in. and he did. He felt to fish, He managed to pull it out. He reached in and found another. Altogether, Reddv pulled four fish out of that hollow log. He ate two of them right there How good they tested! He could have eaten all four with no troublc

at all, You see. they were not verv big fish. When he had finished his second fish. he picked up the other two. Turning his back on Billy Mink. he headed for the Old Pas- ture. He was taking these fish home to Mrs. Raddy.
"She'll love them." thought. Roddy. "I hope sheill be at home when I get there." She was, and she did love those fish. She gulped them down almost whole while Reddy looked on grinning, Man-
ners don't count at s time like that.
