When Johnny Hobbs left his home up among the New Hampshire bills to visit his grandmother in Worcester, Mass., he was cautioned by his mother that he would hud things In the city strangely different from those at boms. Johnny arrived In the early after­ noon, and long before tea time bia grandmother, who lived most simply, told him to run out to the pantry and get a bowl o f milk which she had left there “ for a hungry boy.” A moment later she followed him. and. to her amazement, beheld her grandson bravely at work on a bowl of S|icamiint tea which sbe had forgot- fully put In the place where she bad told him to And the milk. “ Why, child,” she cried, seizing the bowl from poor Johnny, “don’t you know this Isn't milk7” “ I— I knew it wasn't like Hlllbury milk," stammered Johnny, with a final gulp, “ but l thought maybe It wus the kind folks had In Worcester.” P e p p e r m in t a n d T o b a c c o . If you have a. boy who has begun smoking too early and whom you wish to cure of the habit, feed him pepper­ mints. Dr. O. Clayton Jones of Silver- ton, England, writing In the Loudon Lancet, Is authority for this simple cure. Dr. Jones writes: “ To break the smoking habit In a youth there is noth­ ing better than peppermint drops. He cannot smoke with a 'bullseye' In his mouth, and even for some time after It Is dissolved tobacco will not blend kind­ ly with the taste that remains. Social­ ly the cure may seem worse than the disease, but from a medical point of view the sucking of peppermints Is far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye' will prevent smoking for nearly an hour, so the amount of sweets used need not be great.” HON. GEO RG E W . H O N EY. Hon George VV. Honey. National Chaplain U. V.

Sept. 28.—A scheme has just been laid bare by the controller of Chinese immigration at Ottawa, which is believed to be the most elaborately conceived fraudulent device for effect ing the Chinese “ invasion” of Canada ever perpetrated. By means of this device hundreds of voung Celestials have been flocking in at the eastern ports of the Dominion and escaping the $500 head tax by passing themselves off as merchants or other privileged classes. Canada has thus been victimized through honoring certificates of the charge d ’affaires ad interim and consul general at the im perial Chinese legation in Mexico. Statistics in the trade and commerce department here show that 280 Chinese immigrants were admitted into Canada recently at the porta of Montrenl and Halifax alone, without paying the head tax and that not more than 15 Chinese should have been so favored.
