RELICS OF PARLIAMENT

There is now to be seen in London. says an English exchange, an exhibi- tion, partly permanent and \partly temporary, of Relics of Parliament. The material is very diverse, and has been collected from many sources. What might be called the light-er Joys

of the showcase range from Burke?

dagger-the wooden-handled. kitch-

en-knife-like object which in i792 he

contemptuousiy threw on the floor of

the Commons, exclaiming, “This is

what you are to gain by an alliance‘ with Francei"——to the Woolsack used

by Lord Eldon, the robes worn by/ the Lord Chancellors from Pitt to

Disraeli, and the Speaker's Chair

from the .old House of Commons.

Thence the visitor may pass to the

Jacket Danny Maher__wore_ when he

off the tip of Mr. Gladsioneb finger.

the pen with which Mr. Lloyd George

signed the treaty of Versailles and-

the latest addition-Mr. Baldwin's

pipe.

From the London newspapers’ ac- count of this exhibit, we learn that it is very attractive, and that visitors make it a point to include the show in their sight-seeing itincrafles. There is an idea. in this which might appeal to our local curlo hunicrs. Who knows what value future generations will place upon the apparently trivial

_ doings of "today, or on objects ‘associ-

ated, however casually, with the lead- ing parliamentarians. of our time? In the career of Premier Saunders. for instance, is there not something worthy of preservation? flailing a. statesmans pipe gr a Judge's gown, is there not somewhere available a ferule with which he was thrashed as a schoolbfiy. or the textbook from which he cribbed as a student, or a copy of his first brief. or a. verbatim report of his first political oration? Posterlty would ‘ ‘“ treasure the original pad on whichhescribbled the figures that so amamd the l-Iouso during his leadership of the Opposi- tion, or the handkerchief into which he shed his first tears over returned soldiers, or the original draft of his amendments to the Prohibition Act and a copy of the Silpreme Court Judgment rendering ultra vires en- acted portious thereof. 3mm articles of virtu might also be collected from his colleagues in the Legislature. For example, b, bronze cast or marble statuette of the famous Fblconwood bull of the Hon. W. M. Lea; the original tele- phone tlu-ough which the Hon. J. D.

ltisanenco aging sign of the timcs to see our bankers and business ' men take a more active interest in matters which heretofore have be- longed rather to the political ‘than the industrial or mnunerclal life of the country. They are not afraid to express the belief that canadlvs hope lies in building from the inside rather than from the outside. 1n- dustrial development is fundamental to the building up of Canada. Buy- ing more than we sell is at any time poor business, and nowhere more dis- astrous than to a young and grow- ing country. Canada is still young but its growth must be from within.

In this Province, more than ever before, emphasis is placed upon the‘ importance of agriculture. In our cities. towns and villages it is real- ized that they must depend for their _ very existence upon the products of . the farm. Our urban and rural irl- terests are so interwoven that neith- er town nor country can prosper without the other. The farmer needs the town, or even the village. for the marketing of his produce. The town and villageneed the farm for their sustenance. In buying in the

rather than from the departmental houses“ abroad, money is kept in cir- culation in the icountly and everyone gets a share of it. Unfortunately there are‘ many things that we are obliged to buy abroad because we do not produce them at home. But the sound policy for any province is _

For the pin-pose of distinguishing motor oars owned by doctors, and of pennittixlg these cars to pass unhind- ered in the busiest traffic, Gemiany has adopted a system of marking physician's automobiles with a plate showing a red cross in a. blue field. Germany's automobile clubt will fur- nish the plates free of charge. Tile Doctors, on the other hand. will be obliged to lend first aid in traf- fic accidents, transport injured to hos- pitals, inform first aid stations, and carry an emergency pharmacy in their cars. ‘This is rather a clever plecc of legislation, and may com- mend itsclf to other countries.

Some of our fox ranche may be able to CHUEYUP on the following note contributed by a writer in "The Field," an English farm Journal. The wriicr lives in an isolated cottage in the North Cotswold country, oppo- site a. covert which is the home of many foxes. About two years ago, happening to look out of the window 50011 ufler simdown, he saw an old dog-fox with a grey brush sitting on the lawn. "His head ‘was cocked first this way and then that, and he was obviously enjoying the music that the gramophone was playing at the time. He became a frequent visitor in spite of the fact that we keep foil-tenders, ulld we have onlyto put on a record and wait patiently and quietly, keeping well out of sight, and he will suddenly appear and take up his position on the lawn with ev- ery evidence of enjoyment. We have never halloa'd him away, and have always tried to keep the terriers in when he was about. Hounds are

' up here frequently, and we have seen them draw the covert blank, and two‘ minutes after they have gone down‘

‘sea holds more perils than the land: weverythirlg preys on something else: the destroyer. Lu the act of chasing the feebler, is himself destroyed. Not infrequently a fish feeds on the young of its own species-there is no lovc lost in the sea. The quality of mercy does not exist. tragedy follows trage- dy ln endless cycle. With it all, acre for. acre. the sea is more valuable fol- our food supply than the land. .If you choose to think in figures, the harvest of the seven seas yields all annual crop of 7000 million pounds. The land may lie fallow and naked in the Wilmer rains, but in the sell new life is born every day. f) The percentage that is spared to' reach productive stage Is 1l\4".i"=[‘lihlV_ small.

Knowledge Still Limited

Our knowledge is increasing but is still limited. Only a few years ago w‘ discovered the breeding place of th- eel. This, for both the European ant the American species,‘ liesyin the vic- inity of the Bermudas. Why the former has to go so far is a mystery. The tiny transparent fry sct oil at once on their long journey to lnnd. Those heading for Europe must tra- vel continuously for three years-be- fore they reach their natural element in fresh water. There is no adult to guide them-nature exacts the death penalty. Yet it seems none of the atoms are in difficulty whither to go. Countless armies set ofl for shore. what proportion reach home will nev- el- be known.

Flouzlders and halibut have a liab- it. peculiarly’ their own. At first they try to behave like normal fish but soon turn over and swim on u. side. The eye on the lower side slides round till. in n few days, it is on the upper side. There is a fish that will do no work and, armed with o. suc- tion disc, attaches itself to bigger fish, letting them doll-he propelling. lts hope is for morsels falling from tho rich man's table. The seashore is a freak oi nature, and it is the male that carries the eggs in ll pouch near his tail. The lobster Cllll ampu- tatc its claws without being disabled and is recolnpensed for the manv tight comers that its prying l-lubit, entails; the female carries her eggs glued to her body, remaining as net- ivc as ever. This is an ‘effective re- minder of duty to the absent-minded.

The keynote of marine life is can- nibalism. Night and day destruction stalks through the deep. The blue- llsh is never happy except when eat- ing,and. when full up. disgorges like ml ancient Roman at n banquet in ihc days of tile imperial city's dc- cline. The swordfish is the torpedo of the seas and is reckless of results.

Possibly the most voracious of all is the piralllla. of thc Amamn, with their incessant blood lust. The home- ly crab outgrows its shell and is pro- vided with a new one not many days later.

Down in tho depths of the sea. where pressure is enormous, com- plete darkness reigns. Strange crea- tures see from light of their owll producing. Built on lines to with- stand weight they never coglc to tho surface and could not live if they’ dld. An upheaval of the sen. floor may bring an occasional one to light, but this instance is foo seldom to af- ford us any data. Of the monsters of the deepest deep we have no know- ledge and can only say they are un- _ like anything of our acquaintance. When some lone mariner brings us a tale of a weird and terrlblewosatures we do not pause to think that it was flung up thus from the unknoyvn, but shake our heads in imbelief. Wis- dom is Justified of her children.

SAVING A MIND

Perhaps you wonder why some ac- quaintance seems to change in ills dispcsiilcn. or outlook on thinxfi- H‘? is not unfriendly but has not the in- terests he formerly had, and has tak- en on new ideas. hobbies. or studies.

Perhaps he changes in his relig-

~ious views, but is still a K004i 18W

abiding. and good livind Cillzen- He may talk to you about some of his new ideas and if you are inter-

ated you Will [ind that he has Elven‘

his subjects a great deal of time and thought. Perhaps he goes filfthéi‘ however, and neglects his work mid family, and becomns colnpietclg/ cal:- cn up with his new field of thought. Naturally "he is uotjittcd for ever)" day affairs. and before sending him to a mental hospital, he is taken to a specialist in mental ailments-a psychiatrist. This word pSYQhlatry has now become an everyday word and so I must use it.

It simply means “the science and treatment of disorders of the mind."

Now what started this mall on this line of thought or study?

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler tolls us that the "explanation is that this following of thoughts and ideas, dif- ferent frcm the usual thought. and ideas of folks in this country, is because of some unsatisfied and un- filled whim or yearning-

Thus these individuals when they come across n “faith? u. “cure? some unusual belief. that seems to “an- swer" something within them. give themselves up wholeheartedly to it."

And so the mental specialist or psychiatrist has to go fully into all this with the patient. It may take a number of sittings beforq ally rcul progress is nladc, because the unt- ient doesn't think of ills- thoughts or ideas as being anything but reason- able or iocical.

Finally the patient will be able to tell just when and ivliel-e lhc 'ocld" trend oi‘ thought started, and the. psychiatrist unravels the “tangled skain of thought." gradually and pu- tiently‘.

Vvhcn the patient realizes its lack of logic Oi‘ common sense. he gets straightened away in his mind and Iiemmes the ncrlnnl citizen ho was previously. Thus another “lnlnd" is saved in the world.
