The maple tree grows in overy province in Canada and in moot countres within the north temperate zone, In all there are said to be 100 different spccles. but among them all there ls none more stately or more beautiful and none so Vltmblu as the rock or sugar maple. The wood is extrem- ely hard and strong, takes a high polish and is extensively used In furniture and cabins-t making. The b.rds eye and curled maple are un- mmt- varieties of the sugar maple which are highly prizcxl. ln about .h.ce weeks of the early spring while tht- sap is flowing a tree of uveragu size will yield yearly from four to eight pounds of sugar. Tbc estimated production value of maple sureus, in 192-1 was 9,385.- 415 pounds of sugar, valued at S1.- 901599 and of maple syrup, 1,970,- 096 gallons valued at $4,083,542.

' A French committee <of three medical mcn have discovered, that lf an athlete who has more than one competition in any afternoon or evening, will lie down between his events, that his heart condition after the day's exertion wlll come back to a normal condition in a ’ much shorter time, than lf he were to sit around, and perhaps watch the other athletes as they did their part in the competitions. Now trainers for years done this very thing. After the heat of a race or pre- liminary boxing bout, -the athlete is taken into "the dressing room, the door is locked and the trainer, as he rubs his mun down, talks quietly a-nd briefly to him about the event just finished, and then covers him with a blanket and tells li‘m to doze off for n little while. ‘This habit of absolute relaxation gives the heart and blood system itist the rest it needs to prevent trouble. , l had the privilege of examining the hearts of a championship basketball team nearly twenty _vea.rs ago.

This ls an itnpurtnnlt de- velopment in view of the fact that Canada is now the greatest pro- ducer of raw furs among all the countries of the world. In 1922 there were 222 establish- ments In Canada manufacturing fur goods in Canada. Most of Illicse were on a small scale, but Sulllt‘ S9 500,000 was invested in the busi- ness, raw furs and materials of a value of $7,574,513 WcLG utilised and the annual value of products reuchcd $12,824,251.

As l write the election results are s-t.ll coming in and at present it seems that the Conservatives may gain a small majority over the other two parties. There is con- siderable uncertainty as to what form thulr fiscal policy will take. They have abandoned their avow- ed Protectionist, policy of a year ago and Mr. Baldwin In his election manifesto, states that a general tar ff ls no part of his programme. He goes on to say, howeven-“We are determined to safeguard the employment and standard of living of our people in any efficient in- dustry ln which they Bre'il1lp9l’IIIuJ by unfair compe-Ltion, by applying the principle of the Safeguarding of industries Act or by analogues measures." lt cannot bu denied that the Conservatives have had one or two striking facts to place before the electors. The Labour Government abolished, as from August 1st. last, the McKenna dull- los on imported motor cars, mus;- cal instruments and ‘clocks. 1m- ports of those three articles in Scptcmber were respectively 66%. 1.00% greater" than in July. Mr. Baldwin also, speaks of. thu folly of the Labour Government. in abolish- ing Parr ll of ,the Safeguarding ‘of lndustr es Act, and Conservative Candidates are pointing out in this connt-ction that unemployment in "the country has increased largely in recent weeks. If the election Tu sults in the fortnation of a Con- scrvztt.ve Govcrmnunt which de- pends upon Liberal support to en- surc it a clear majority, thou the i-e-Zntrotltiction of protective mes- surcs will be by no means contain, But in ally survey of the probable sduattltin, it must not be forgotten that a pol cy such as Mr. Baldwin outlincs will be fat" less obnoxious to the Liberal part" than a gener- al tariff, such as he asked lthe elec- tors to endorse last your, and which hc has now publicly dlsclalmed The Liberal Party, however, al- though its support may be valuable to tlic Cutiservativus, has suffered a ser ous eclipse and it. scents that, not for many years will they be In a position to form u (lovcriiniutit. .\lr.

There is only one reason why ouch radiant strings o! jewels should not adorn so white a throat. The reason is that, despite their loveliness, (he ropes of pearls. emeralds, and diamonds left by the widow of Mr. William B. Leeds sen, the "tlnplafe king," are not considered “lucky" stones. Naturally, "Billy" Leeds and his royal wife do not emphasize-the t-radltlon, but it is a matter of wide knowledge that the enormously costly gems have reflected the shadows of persopal despair, poti- tlcal disappointment, ill-health- and even death. "Hoodoo" These episodes may seem unre- lated but to the superstitious they spell the dread word “hoodoo" with s-uch certainty that no one is sur- prised that Princess Xenla and her bus-band prefer to have the jewels outside the family, even if they arc disposed of at a staggering sacri- flce. A necklace of pearls worth a quarter of a million pounds lies In a heavy glass, double-padlockcd case in a famous jewellers shop. Beside it, coiled within a velvet- lined box, rests another rare tro- phy of the lapfdarys ait~ a great tiara adorned with inch-longpenr- shaped d unloads, from which de- pend cabochon c-maraltls thc size of walnuts.
