of some to the Matandu valley, while farther south raiders invaded Portuguese territory and approached the border of Nvassaland, burning native villages, terror.iring the inhabitants ond removing fcod supplies to German depots.\u201cThere were many patrol snccuaters and occasional collisions between larger forces.The German columns which evacuated the Mahenge dis trict in February moved rapidly ir two main parties, one to the Portuguese border, and the other, commanded by Major Wintgens, breaking northward, evading our columns and reaching Kitunda, on their way for Tabors.On May 6 the latter was pursued by British, Rhodesian .and other troops.Major Wintgens was captured on the $8ad in the vicinity of Lukalanks, 61 miles south-west of Taboraby.\u201cA Belgian column is caroperating with

peculiar blood- thirstness, involving constant human sacrifice.This traie is even exhibited in connection with the burial of their dead.The feast of the dead was celebrated after this fashion.\u201cThey took a iaggot of ocotl, which in Spain would be called pitch-wood, and they dressed kt up in blanket or dress™ If the dead person had been 2 woman, they dressed the faggot in her petticoat and put it in front of cooking pots and other hotsehold utensils.If the dead person had been a chief and a valiant man, they dressed the faggot in a rich mantle and waist~cloth and larbet, and gave it a handful of pitch-wood.The labret was nade of a piece of amber or crystal.This.which they were acqustomed to wear when they drank or danced in their native ceremonies tang down from a hole pierced thrugh ¢he hip.They stated the image on a sleeping mat and they put much food, and they invited the principal men there.Then they put fre to the pitch-wood and everything which they had put there to burned wp.\u201d The custom of burning up an image, together with offerings for the dead, was not only found among the Aztecs but also common among the Indians of California to-day.AN

did YOUR HENS LA EXPERT POULTRY MAN GIVES SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY SOME VALUABLE SUOES- TIONS.Let us look back over the past winter snd sce if we can discover just why the hens did not lay.\u201d says N.C.Cambbell, B.S.A.in \u201cEverywoman's World,\u201d for May.\u201cWe can then take a look ahead in prospect of the coming winter, and if we are to be satisfied wit their production, then we ought now to make sure that the hens will lay next winter\u2014just when we want the tggs at the time when prices are high.It was my good fortune recently to meet in with Mr.J.W.Clark, of Brant Co.Ont, who had just concluded an eight weeks\u2019 lecturing and demonstrating tour with the Agricul tural demonstration cars from the Ontarig Department of Agriculture.He had been travelling and stopping {at all local points in Western Ont ario, and giving of his practical suc cessful poultry experience to any and al] who camt to see.| pumped Mr.Clark for some of his more valuable ideas which he had discovered regarding poultry, such ideas ps I could pass on for the benefit of the readers of \u201cEverywoman\u2019s Wosid\u201d who had or have not heard Mron this fascinating subject.He said, \u201cThe first quesion that th farmers put to me invariably is \u2018What'll make the hens lay?\u201cThen 1 start to question them.I ask them: \u201c\u2018Îs there any moisture in your house?Do you notice any frost on the walls?If so, you can be sure that this moisture is one r:ason why your hens will not lay.\u201cToo close confinement is another reason why the hens won't lay.They need exercise and fresh air to keep them in the best of good bodily | health and vigour; otherwise there will be no eggs forthcoming.As to the feeding of the laying hens and the poultry ir general Mr.Clark remarked that it is surprising how few farmers there are who really know anything about beef scrap or! animal meal.which are manufactured especially for feeding poultry, and which are as necessary in the ration for layiny hens as grain and clover are in the ration of the high produc: ing milk cow, Buttermilk or sour milk is a good substitute for other animal food.Profesor Graham.of the Poultry Department at the Ontario Agricul tural College.has discovered that hens, when fed on buttermiik or sour milk, all they will eat or drink, will lay two eggs on such a ration t> every one egg that they will lay with: out the milk.The buttermilk or sour milk seems to fit right into the digestive economy of the hens.Sweet milk has not the same effect; in fact, on the contrary, it is highly dangerous to feed sweet milk on a- count of its being such a good medium for the propagation of disease germs, which affect poultry and may through the sweet milk, be widely spread from a sick individual to other members of the flock.Clover leaves may take the place of green food; they may also take the place of bran.The clover Teaves have almost the same analysis in protein 3s has bran.Practically every farmer has clover hut farmers don\u2019t szem to think of it for their poultry.tahlishing a local university to Russify the town.but most writers agrec that ancient elements are still alive.\u2014

On March 29th, the Social Democratic Party voted agains: the aswp- plementary Estimates in thy German Reichstag.It was a bid for Ruesian Jif Sociallstic approval.It did Germany | \u2018po harm whatever, for Herr Bethman.Hollweg still has the pefffor por- | tion of the Social Democratic party | in his pocket for his political needs of the mmoent.What they have in IN theirs it would he interestin;

to set democrats and autocrats by the ears; especialy to incite strikes in munition factories, leading to arson.While this was going on, the Chancellor, imitating the walrui over the oyster, wept in the Reichsiag when he referred to his love for Russia Herr Hasse, one of the few Honest Social Démocrats, curtly told the Chancellor that his refusal to reform the franchise was a blow with 2 whip in the face of the democracy and that Germany was really the friend of Russian autocracy.He reminded him that the German government had allowed Russiay refugees to be spied upon by secret service agents, and then put the refugees across the fron tier to be dealt with;

to say whether conserip- tion were wise or unwise; and if called upon today to vote xpon cou- scription he would not esre to vote either for or against ît, until he had heard discussion by supporters and opponents of conscription.| Therefore any general discussion of conscription on his motion would be out of order.Senator Power said he kad been psked why he had offered his motion at this time instead of waiting until the Government's promised conscription measure was before parliament?He would say that the Government had promised a conscription measure; that this amendment might well be embodied in the bifl which the government was drafting; that it was difficult for an Opposition Senator to have the Government accept an amendment after a bill had been introduced.Families that had sent no one to the front should be first ealled upon, to make up the eighty thousand men now needed, he declared.Senator Landry said that by the resolution Senator Power wanted to bind the Senate to the principle of conscription in advance of the introduction of the Government's promised measure.He thought any such action as Senator Power proposed should wait until the Government had introduced its bill and its proposals were known.Sir James Loughced expressed the opinion that the resolution was ont of order, ag it anticipated 1 measure of which notice had been given, and proposed that the Senate should pass upon something which might or might not be in the Government's bill.Senator Choquette thought that the resolution should stand on the order paper, until the Government's bill came down.He proposed to ask this treatment for the resolution he bad given notice of that \u201cin the opinion of this House, any law of conscription, voted by the parliament of this country, could not be enforced without being ratified by the Canadian people in a general election.\u201d Speaker Bolduc said he would give his decision tomortow on the point of order, « TORONTO TEAMSTERS CALL OFF STRIKE Toronto, May 20\u2014The strike of railway teamsters which has been hampering the movement of freight shipments from te al yards to consignees warchouses, was called off today.LIBERAL CANDIDATE.Wingham, Ont, May 29.\u2014Archic Hyslop, of Brussels, was the unanimous choice of the North Huron Libera!
