For months, says the Toronto Globe, the World has been urging Mayor Geary, and the members of the council, and the Telegram, and the Globe to get “Big Eyes.’ Now it is sorely hurt because the Telegram has made a retort in kind. The World says: ‘And because one paper out of the lot foresaw this, and spoke of it, and told the story of the development in the city and around it, and advised the people to get ‘Big Eyes’ for what was coming, is that a reason why it should be insulted by the Why should the World’s suggestion of ‘Big Eyes’ merit John Robertson's gentlemanly retort ‘Big Mouth’?” It will be observed from these remarks that while the World believes Big Eyes to be most meritorious, a Big Mouth is not regarded by if as a mark of either beauty or intelligence. Why should this be so? If Big Eyes are necessary to good vision, to physical or mental perception, surely a Big Mouth is equally necessary to enable the man of vision to convey his ideas to others. , The English language is full of just such queer shad- ings Of meaning as that which has brought the World and Tele- Tell a man that he has a large and aquiline Tell the same man thal Yet hearing is more important than the sense of smell, and the man whose ears have been tilted forward by nature does*not need to hold his hand to his ear, as many of us who suffer from flat ears are compelled to do, when the speaker of the day is not accustomed to talk in a large hall.

The tonia holds up its yellow drooping flowers from among ils broad, rich, enfolding leaves. The skunk cabbage, whose richly tinted cowls have already withered, raises its great capacious leaves in tropical luxurianece, and all the varied growth and forms of swamp vegetation continue the struggle for supremacy. The tamaracs, our only conifers to don new dress every year, are densely tufted with fresh green. The spruces crowd so close that they are impenetrable in some but through this densely diminutive forest there are winding courses of warm, damp moss where once the little stream found its way, and where there is still too much moisture for the seedling trees to In these the orchids grew, but the place that knew Irregular heaps of wet, black earth places, take root. them knows them no more, show where, in the drier autumn, the moles pushed the waste material from burrows now filled with water—Toronto Globe. . te er rs FG FO 2 Ps Pd Ps Po rs ts rs SE La ad !

Looking at the world condi- tions generally, while good crops of spring wheat in Canada and the United States will no doubt mean somewhat lower prices during the coming months and more especially when the new crop begins to move, at the same time there is little indieate a drop to the levels of last year.
