Unkmd Gnu‘ cisms That Ma’ e Life Seem Worth Wliilfi ‘INE times out. of ten the question of why marriage is a failure could be answered by one word: Criticism. Of course, in order to get a divorce a husband or wife has to accuse the party of the other part of seine heinous crime. A woman can't go into court. and say: “I've stood my husband's knocking everything I do until I can't bear it. any longer. and I'll either kill . mm, m- mysolf, if I have to listen to him finding fault with the coffee one more time." A man can't sayi "Judge, my wife has nagged me for twenty years about everything I do and don't do. about the way 1 sit down and rise up, and my taste in neckties, and the way to drive a car, until she has gotten on my nerves so that I would rather dis’ than live with her another day." Nonifthe less, the allegation of unfaithfulness, M, or drunkenness. or cruelty, or whatnot, that is offi- cl y put forth ns the reason why the marriage bond should be broken, is more‘ often than not just a smoke screen behind which hides thereal ex- planation of why a couple fail to hit it off together, and another marriage Idlil into thn discord. 7r .. _ ' '7“ ‘it tvasnt the big offenses they committed against each other. It was jittle. carping criticisms that kept them always irritated, and their van- ' ty raw and sore, and made them so discouraged that they got to the place here they asked themselves, what was tho use in trying to please a person ho wasn't going to be ipleased with anything they did, anyway, and why go ' n with u. marriage that was all kicks and no hapence? The only answer this conundrum seemed to be the divorce court. livyiu After all, most men and women are pretty decent citizens. Not many en are roucs. Nnt. many women are vamps. Nor are there many men rho are brazaezi, ll0l‘,,l'll.'illy women who are shrews. The average youth nd maiden who get married are honest, and sincere, and kindly. They 1 '- in love with each other, and when they plight their vows at the altar i-they honestly mean to do their duty and to make each other happy. ‘hi-flow comes it. then, that so often they get disillusioned with each other. .. ‘disgruntled with matrimony, that they sit up in sullen silence when ‘Ilfifare nlmze tovcthcr. or else engage in verbal battles in which they hack enQi other to picccs und leave wounds that never heal’! . .. It is because one or the other, or both, indulge in perpetual criticism of lltljpurty 0f the other part, and criticism is the headliner among all the domestic vices.

We regret to state that on Monday 21st inst. the residence of Mr. Otto Irving, Cambridge Road, with much valuable effects was destroyed by fire. The first evidently caught in the ceil- ing of a room from an over-heated stovepipe. Mr. Irving was home at the time, but the fire had made some headway before he became aware of the fact. Mrs. Irving was unavoidab- ly1 absent at the time. Owing to the secluded situation of the house, and the fire originating in the interior of the building, the neigh- bors did not notice the circumstances for some time. Mr. Irving and his young son did their best to extinguish the flames. but owing to the cold, and the dist- ance of the well from the fire, the poor little fellow insufficiently clad -in the hurried attempt could not hold out any longer, and after a brave bat- tie both had to relinquish the fight. The neighbors arriving as soon as possible, some of the household effects were saved, but the loss is heavy. A large quantity of "potatoes, a, new range, much clothing bedding, and - food supplies together with the house. is indeed a hard loss and with no in- sursnce.

A. E.

"Tum the other cheek.” m. Darby said in re- ply to spokesmen who urged more adequate safeguard for the Canadian product. Any- pollcy of tariff retal- ation would do every bli. as much harm to Canada as it would do to the nation against which it was dit- ected. . Protection for the Canadian man- ufacturing plants engaged in pro- duclng machinery for mining, inad- equate tariff to assure their future‘ development and wider establish- ment had been urged by the domin- ion englneerlng works. This company was supported by the Canadian Westinghouse Co., of Hamilton, and the Canadian Ingersoll Rand Co., Montreal and other manufacturers of such machinery. The submission by the above man- ufacturers was in opposition to an appllc ion submitted to the ‘board someti e ago by the Mining As- ;sociatlon of British Columbia, Nova Bcotia and Ontario and which was Mingfng Assn, asked that certain mining machinery which is not pro- dllcfld in 08118618. enters the country free of duty.

Taking the standing at June, 1928 thre was, a decline of 1.8 per cent. in the numb- er of horses as compared with twelve mmlths Drevioilsiy. The total num- ber of cattle declined by 4.1 per cent there being 2.6 fewerimilch cows and 1.1 fewer beef cattle, though the number of calves increased by 5.2 per cent. There was an increase in the total number of sheep of 4.8 per cent lambs increasing by 3.6 per cent and sheep by 5.5 per cent.

The total sheep pulation of the Dominion rose in the your from 8, 262,706 to 3,415,788. In the Maritime provinces there were 499,878 sheep in .1927 and 528,057 in 1928. Ontario increased its numbers from 956,287 to 1,014,106 and Quebec from 801, 548 to 888,757. The sheep population of the Prai-io provinces grew from 818,020 to 840,811 and 1n British Col- umbia from 128, 993 to 169,057.

WHEN SOUND CAN BE FELT (By British United Press) LONDON, January, ifs-When a sound gets too loud it ceases to be heard and gets into the region of feeling. o. strange tickling sensation being fielt in the ear. This was one of the many interest- ing faots revealed in a lecture on "The Ear and What it Does," deliv- ered by Professor Alexander Wood, Tutor of Emmanuel College, and Lect- urer in Physics, University of Cam'- bridle. at the institute o! Electrical Engineers. The tickling sensation, sold Pro- fessor Wood. could also be felt in the tips of the fingers if held near the vrialn of the sound. ‘The normal ear could hear about 300,000 tones, vary- lag in loudness and pitch. "We still hear the expression ‘uric-kins up one» m1.‘ he we, al- though only the animals can do that, now that humans have grown out of the habit of their ancestors, - I know some boys who still boast that they can move their em up, but I would advise them not to boast of the fact. since it bctokens a close . mblanca to their hairy forefath- ers."
