The speaker was a young tr.iveller for .some Toronto house, who was talking at a re.staurant table recent- ly to a member of the .N'orthern Ncw.s staff who was having supper. The young man had already made a trip to Timmins, and on his way back had dropped into "the village of aliout 'lOO people" more or less out of ciirio.sity.

In the hou;.e on Lot 1, Concession 10. it was coM when we got up in the- morning. The first tliini,' was to light the fire in the kitchen lange because it never would stay in ov.T night on slicks of wood. If the weather had turned overiy cold it was nece.isaiy to thaw out the pump nt the side of the house before donu'slic service could ho well under Way for the day . . . Things on the farm would have had to change n great deal in re- cent years to make woollen under- wear needless. We have no way of knowing for certain, but we have «n idea that evejy peLson, man, woman and child, on the lOlh Con- ce.si.,n wore wo(d in Winter Time.

North and South ^By actual count there arc 111 places in (Canada that Dear ti'c word "North," as past of their designa- tion. In addition there are a few in which the "North" part has been incorporated in abbreviated form to make the complete name, such as ".N'oranda" (a combination of the words "North" and "Canada"), 'Norland," (the derivation being ai)parent), "Norbestos" (made from the words "North" and "Asbestos"), "Norway," "Xorgate," "Xorval," and one or two others. On the other hand, h.iwcvcr, there are no less than 100 'Souths" including Southampton, South Dath- urst. South Hay, South KdnWnton, South Manchester, South Qshawa, South Boston, South Woodslca, and the famous old South Porcupine. It is always worthy of note that while there is one "South End," there is no "North Knd," though this may be taken by the visitor to mean that there is no end to the North in Canada. ^ â€" Timmin.s Advance.

'"Then vje arc teaching personal hygiene, the care of the home and Inbies. poultry and bee culture that v.ill result in better eggs and chick- Viis and superior hoyey.

FlSHiriG FACT3 FHOM A r.OVIC:: POimERG u There has been . great daal of eoiT-.rr.cnt, one tir.c or another as to '.vhether it is necessary to covci the point of the hook or leave it bare. Some people s-iy ye.s. by all r.M'ans. Others say phooev. or o'd f'.s'iion- ed. Last summer I was with a p~i-ty, bais-fishing on Lalie Simcce. Tho '.vatcr wotild be about twelve feet deep and had a clay anci weedy bot- tn.T!. Wo had frogs an,! wcr;-.:s aplenty of both so of course wc wore out f(U' the cstch of the .scasi.:. After <)uite a while v.e re:;lJ2ed that the fish for some reason v.-t-re not hungry or as is often t!;e way would be better on some other shonl. .Anyway the bites were fev.- and far between. After so~.c time w? no- ticed that the froSK were g?tt;ng all the bites a.id that their legs and bac!:s were all skinned. One of the party covered the point of t!ie hook after baiting with a frog. Using a very small morsel of worm. From then on wo all lia I the best of luck. This of course proves nothing and is only given for whai it is v.ort^;. Tliere is another point that often comes up during a fishing tiiv- Whether to give a fish slack lino wl-.cn ho breaks water or to give <;m the butt. This is only ui^dcr (li.;jus- sion when one has plenty of line out s'.ich as in casting and tro'ling. 1 can't say \vhat is the correct irethod but here is tho one I use. When using a light line an, I tr,y ris'i lircaks water I usually give n;m a little slack, Lc,a^.:;;e if he falls back on a taut line there is a i :;-:;ly goed ci'.ance tliat he will breai: ii.
