British Army On Sunday afternoon Lord Kitchener authorized making publie the following report of the fighting done by the Britisharmy last week\u2014There has been a four days' battle\u2014on the 28rd, 24th, 25th and 26th of August.During the whole of this period, the British, in conformity with a general movement of the British armies.were occupied in resisting and checking the German advance and in withdrawing to new lines of de- | tençe.Æbé.; battlé began \u2018at Mons on Sunday, during which day and part af the night the general attack, which was stubbornly pressed and repeated, was completely checked by the British front.The Second Day On Monday, the 24th, the Germans made vigorous efforts in superior numbers to prevent the safe withdrawal of the British army and to drive it into the fortress of Maubeuge.This effort was frustrated by the steadiness and skill with which the British retirement was conducted, and as on the previous day very heavy losses, far in excess of anything suffered by us, were inflicted on the enemv, who in dense formation and in enormous masses marched forward again and yet again to storm the British lines.The Third Day The British retirement proceeded on the 25th (Tuesday) with continuous fighting, though not on the scale of the previous two days,and by the night of the 25th the Biit- ish army occupied the line of Cambrai, Landrecies and Le Cateau.(Cambrai is a fortified town inthe Department of the North, 32 miles southeast of Lille on the river Scheldt.Le Cateau is 14 miles east by southeast of Cambrai).It had had been intended to resume the retirement at daybreak on the 26th (Wednesday) but the German attack, in which no less than five army corps were engaged, was so close and fierce that it was not possible to carry out this intention until the afternoon.The Fourth Day The battle on this day, the 26th (Wednesday) Was of a most severe and desperate character.The troops offered a superb and most stubborn resistance to the tremen- dous-odds with which they were confronted, and at length extracted themselves in good order, tho with serious loss and under the heaviest artiilery fire.\" No guns were taken by ithe enemy except those the horses of which had all been killed or were shattered by high explosive shells.Losses During the Four Days General French estimates that during the whole of these operations from the 23rd to the 26th, inclusive, his losses amounted to 3000 ror 6000 men.On the other hand, the losses suffered by the Germans in their attacks across the open and through their dense formation are out of all proportion to those which we have suffered.In Landrecies alone onthe 25th (Tuesday), as an instance, a German infantry brigade advanced in close order into a narrow street which they completely filled, Our machine guns were brought to bear on this target from the end of the town, The head of the column was swept away.A frightful panic ensued, and it is estimated that 800 or 900 dead and wounded Germans were left in this street alone.Another incident which may be chosen from many like it was the charge of the German Guard cavalry division upon the British Twelfth Cavalry brigade, when the German cavalry were thrown back with great losses and in absolute disorder, These are notable examples of what has taken place over practically the whole front during these engagements, and the Germans have been made to pay the extreme penalty of every forward march they have made, Since the 26th (Wednesday) apait from cavalry fighting, the British army has not been molested.It has rested and refitted after its exertions and glorious achievements.Reinforcements, amounting to double the losses sustained, already have joined.Every gun has been replaced and the army is now ready to take part inl the next great encounter with undiminished strength and undaunted spirits.The Burning of Louvain The Belgian minister of foreign affairs reports that on Tuesday, August 25, a German army corps, after receiving a check, withdrew in disorder to the city of Louvain.The Germans on guard at the entrance of the city, mistaking the nature of the incursion, fired upon their countrymen, whom they mistook for Belgians, In spite of all the denials from the authorities, the Germans, in order to cover their mistake, pretended that it wasthe inhabitants who fired on them, whereas the inhabitants, including the police, all had been disarmed more than a week before.Without inquiry and without listening to any protest, the German com- manden announced that the town would be destroyed immediately.The inhabitants were ordered to leave their dwellings and some were made prisoners, The women and children were placed on trains, the destinations of which are not known, as soldiers furnished with bombs set fire to all parts of the city.The splendid church of St.Peter, the University buildings, the were delivered to the flames.Se%- eral notable citizens were shot.Th: city, which had a population dr 45,000 and was the intellectusl metropolis of the Low Countries is now nothing more than a heap of ashes.Daring Naval Exploit , Wier war was declared it was expected the German navy would give battle, for tho not possessed of 0 many ships, there are among te number ironclads equal to Eng land's best, so that $.squadron could be sent to sea that would tight with.a fair chance of victory, 4.the moreso thi they: had thar vantage of bringing on battle clobe to the German shore, Instead of fighting, however, this splendid array of German warships remained at anchor under: the guns of forts and with the harbor mouthä strewn with mines, The British fleet cruised round these harbors, hoping to see the enemy come out, This blockading work grew tiresome to Admiral Beatty, in come mand of the squadron to whom was given to watch Heligoland, and he devised a ruse to get the Germans out, It being reported to him that small German vessels were in the habit of coming outside their lines to lay mines he saw his ope portunity, and detailed the fastest boats he had to Watch when these: Germans came out and attack them, Friday morning, at 4 o'clock, these sentinels of the sea saw several German boats come out on their: usual errand, Putting on allsteam,.the British boats dashed forward.on the inside course to intercept} the enemy.There ensued a chase, the fleeing foe acting themselves, as a pilot through the mine fields.The race ended in the British win-v ning the inside track, The Germans seeing only boats no larger than their own, signalled forhelp.when more light vessels came out, when they attacked the British, A \u2019 slight mist helped the British and | concealed their cruisers who were hurrying to the scene of conflict.The first to arrive was the Fearless, which dared:the fort batteries and got so near the coast that the German admiral signalled four of his cruisers to go und try to capture her.When they came within range a fierce fight ensued.The first shot from the Fearless sank a German cruiser which a British destroyer was battering.At the] height of the duel, four German\u2019.eruisers were circling.about Fearless, one of which came within 7000 yardsof her.Amid a burst of cheering from the British ship she landed a shot in the vitals of the nearest foe.Instantly it burst into flames, The Arethusa.a German cruiser that arrived to help fight the, Fearless, received a shot in her engine-room, and made signals of distress, Meanwhile the small craft were at it hammer and tongs.It wus estimated there were over 20 of them.The superior gun power and strength of the British destroyers, ship for ship, was conclusively demonstrated.The British destroyers did mot hesitate tu engage the enemy's cruisers, both with guns and torpedo, with hardihood, and two of them got knocked about in the process.Atho only two of the enemy's destroyers were actually observed ta sink, most of the other eighteen or twenty boats rounded up and attacked were well punished and only saved themselves by a scattered flight, The shore batteries had been compelled while the fight lasted, to reserve their fire for fear of hitting the German boats, but now, began.Seeing heavy ironclads getting ready, the British withdrew, having sank 2 German cruisers, set on file another, which it was afterwards learned, went to the bottom, and 2 destroyers.The crews of thefive German vessels known to have Leen sunk aggregated about 1200 ofii- cers and men, alt of whom, with the exception où 3 OÙ prisunevs.wounded and otherwise, perished.The total British casulaties amounted to 69 killed and wounded.Among the killed must be included two officers of exceptoral merit, Lieut.-Commander Nigel K.W, Barttelot, and Lieut.Eric West- macott.All the British ships will be fit for service in a week orten days.J London, August 27\u2014In mcving the address of eulogy of Belgium in the house of commons, Premier Asquith said\u2014\u201cWe do not repent our decision in engaging in this war.The issue was one which no great nation, without undying shame, could have declined.Never has the duty of preserving her national { mportance been more bravely acknowledged, and never has it been more strenuously and heroically.discharged than during the last week by the Belgian King and his people,\u201d said Premier Asquith.\u201cThey have faced without flinching and against almost incalculable odds the horror of eruption.devastation, spoliation and outrage.They have won for themselves immortal glory, we are proud of their alliance, and in the name of the United Kingdom and of the whole Empire we assure them that they may count to the end of our whole-hearted and and unfailing support.\u201d Sarnia, Aug.29.\u2014At a meeting of Indians of Sarnia Reserve last night a resolution was passed un- apimously.requesting the Domin- i'n government to apprograte $1000 from the funds of the Indians to help Great Britain in her war expenses, Addresses were given by Chief Jacobs, Chief Mer.ass and others, and all were eager to \u2018 WHAT A WOUNDED FRENCHMAN TOLD The battle of the 16th August has been given the name of Charle- roi, from that being the town the Germans chiefly fought to win.A vivid idea of it is given in the following letter, written Ly a wounded French soldier\u2014 I am in a \u2018field hospital now, with a nice little hole in my left shoulder, It feels as if some playful joker had touched it with a lighted cigar.The wound is washed and dressed by a pretty little dressmaker who has turned nurse.She is so sweet and lovely and kind-hearted that one would like to get wounded for the sole purpose of being nursed and bundag- ed.Part of our army was marching along the broad, sunny road toward Charleroi, The road was bordered on either side by a vast cultivated plain, where little groups of peusants were busily engaged in harvesting.The peasant girls and the old men were as busy as they could be, When sometimes we were on aw elevation, 1 looked backward and saw our army.like a huge serpent, covering the road for a distance of many miles, The hearts of the troops were l'@ht.but their faces were grave, Everyone felt that we were to engage in an action that the fate of nu- tions depended on.There were many singing.however, for the French soldier is always bright, lively, happy and brave, The commissary is perfect and the men have been so excellently louked after that the suldiers\u2019 spirits have been kept up inl good shape.At a distance, on our left, clouds of dust hover over the field, and * now and again our ears catch the \u2018nvise of moving troops and the trumpling of horses\u2019 feet, Apparently they were moving parallel with our columns, It is rumored that they are British troops, but nobody knows but the commanders, and they keep silent, We know not even where we go, Heavy cane nonading is heard ahead und it becomes more frequent as we advance.Aides, bearing messages, gallop by us every few minutes.Arriving at the crest of the Hill.we dropped ourselves there.Right in front of us, on the opposite hill, and dividing into the valley below was the enemy.Their advance is covered by the artillery on the hills behind them.A mighty toar behind us, shows us that our pwn artillery is coming into action.; shelling the valley below.It is Fi atiange that.in the face of death and destruction, I catch myself trying to make out where the shells are falling, as it I were merely an interested spectator at u rifle coma petition, L was not the only one experiencing, these strange fee!- ings.I saw many curious faces all around me, bearing expressions full of interest, like an audience highly fascinated by u theatrical performance, These expressions croxs- ed my mind in a thousaandth part of a second, followed by numerous others, always alien from the seriousness of what wus happening.The human mind is inexplicable, We begin to shoot, Between rounds I hear many funny expressions used, proving that the speakers\u2019 thoughts are far froma relization of the terrible facts, It is not heartlessness, or anything like that, Volley after vulley, we sent at the enemy.The C(lerman bullets puss- ed mostly over our heads, Instinctively we stopped.altho when one hears a bullet, it has already passed, It is a queer sensation when one is first in a rain of hullets, We are ordered tu advance.Alternately dropping ourselves to the ground to fire and then jumping to our feet to rush across the open, we gradually approach the enemy.The earth now is shaken bv incessant cannonading.The air is torn by the continuous roar of rifle fire, We rush forward to teize a piece of ground, surrounded bv low trees.Hall way across the intervening space, 1 wasstr.ck and lust consciousness.| only regret that J could not have seen the finish of this.my first battle.But I will: be back on the Line again.and I hope it may he the first fighting line and that 1 may have my old comrades hy my side, London, August 27.\u2014Gen.Joseph Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French forces, in a telegram to Field Marshall Sir.John French, commander of the British: forces.says\u2014\u201cThe British army did not heaitate but threw its whole strength against forces which had great numerical superiority, In so doing it contributed in a most effective manner to securing the left wing of the French army.It exhibited in this task devotion, energy, and perseverance to which 1 must now pay my tribute-quali- ties which will be shown again tomorrow and make certain the triumph of our common cause.The French army will never forget th» services rendered it.Our army is inspired with the same spirit of sacrifice and the determination to conquer which animates the British forces, and will make good to them its debt of gratitude in the battles of the near future.\u201d ; The mines sown in the North Sea by the Germans, ara laid in the sea some six or ten feet below the surface.They are anchored from the sea bed, and are exploded when the keel of a ship, by coming in contact with them, turns them c ver, makes an electrical connection, and fires the mine.The best check for mines is the aeroplane, Scouts sailing like birds above the water can see for a considerable depth below the surface and thusitisex- pected that the presence of mines Luongwy,

Sept.8, 1914 NOTES OF THE WEEK To avoid printing on Fair day, the Gleaner will go to press earlier than usual next week, All matter intended for it must be handed in on Tuesday.As customary The Gleaner will have a stand in the large building to receive subacriptions and payment of accounts.It is well the publie should know, that no country! weekly in the province is drawing sufficient from subscriptions to pay for printing it.This is owing to the increased cost of all that goes to make a newspaper.If country papers are, of benefit to the communities in which they are published.those who do not already .take them should feel it a duty to become subscribers.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Two of the sentries on the Soulanges canal were having a conversation with their rifle butts on the ground.On ending their talk one sloped arms and, just when the rifle was half way up to his shoulder.the trigger caught.possibly in his sleeve, and the gun was discharged, sending a bullet thru the brain of his friend, who dropped dead.In the evidence at the inquest it was shown Betts had been enlisted last winter when a mere boy, for he was only 15 years, 3 months old when killed, and that he was accepted against the protest of his father.This enlisting of school-boys ought to be put a stop to, It is now understood that had it not been for the British army the battle of the 23rd would have beena German victory.When the French centre gave way before the terrible rush of numbers, it was the British firmly standing their ground on the west flank that prevented a rout, and enabled the French general to withdraw during the nignt to a new position.Again, in the battle of the 26th, they rendered a like service, which General Joffre acknowledges in the following letter of thanks to General French\u2014 The British army did not hesitate, but threw its whole strength against forces which had great numerical superiority.In so doing it contributed in a most effective manper to securing the left wing of the French army.It exhibited in) this task devotion, epergy and perseverance, to which I must now pay my tribute\u2014qualities which will be shown again tomorrow and make certain the triumph of our common cause, The French army will never forget the services rendered it.Our army is inspired with the same spirit of sacrifice and the determination to conquer which animates the British forces, and will make good to them its debt of gratitude in the battles of the near future.Gen.Joffre may be a brave sol dier but he failed in under-esti- mating the German strength, leading him to split up his force by sending part ta Alsace and in attacking the Germans whom he ahould have kept on the defensive.During the battles of last week a commander of one of the French divisions, Gen.Pau, distinguished himself by a stragetic move that cornered the German column opposed to him and led to their defeat.On the other hand, there was certainly military laxness in allowing the important city of Lille with its defences fall into the hands of the Germans without resistance.The rapid advance of the Germans seems to have caused a few French officers to lose their presence of mind.The conduct of the Germans on capturing towns cannot be explained otherwise than that their object ia to strike terror into their enemies, Burning villages, bombarding open towns, shooting defenceless people, and levying tribute wherever they go does not become brave men.The burning of no place has caused as deep a sensation as their putting the torch to Louvain, which stood in the same relation to the Church of Rome as Oxford does to the Anglican.It was the chosen seat of learning where hundreds of young men from all parts of the world were educated to be priests.Somebody

advertisements of med- cines that will make fat people lean, with pictures of alleged cures, For the last six months the Bureau of Chemistry at Washing- torr has been experimenting with these anti-fat cures on employees of the department.The bureau undertook its investigation after i had received many inquiries about anti-fat remedies, The bureau organized a \u201csquad of employees of the department who wished to lose surplus flesh without injuring their health, The bureau's account of its experiments follows\u2014 One of the most widely advertised so-called prescriptions for re~ ducing flesh was tried for a period of Bix months, The result was that two of the subjects under experimentation \u2018were obliged to stop after taking the medicine for twu or three weeks, because of its injurious effect, The third subject gained 2% pounds, instead of losing flesh.Another of the so-called remedies of a \u2018great obesity specialist\u2019 was tried.The subject scrupulously followed the diet list which accompanied this remedy and faithfully carried out the system of exercises recommended.After six month treatment there was a reduction of eighteen pounds of flesh, but this the experimenters attribute to thd fact that the subject ate no bread, butter, starchy food, pastry,sugar, or candy while under observation.The first month after discontinuing the treatment the subject gained ten pounds, and in three months wag back to the original weight recorded at the beginning of the treatment.The \u201cPROFESSORS\u201d Ways The circulars, letters, and other of these so-called obesity remedies, which are published broadcast, in many cases asserted that a two-cent stamp is the only charge.Those send ng the 2 cents to the supposed philanthropist who wishes to thelp other sufferers to get rid of surplus flesh commonly received a statement that \u2018the physician\u2019 or professor discovered this remedy in the wilds of some foreign country or received it from some famous Indian medicine man on his deathbed.Then after due praise of the effectiveness of the remedy the \u2018professor\u2019 states that he is willing to supply this wonderful treatment Tor a fee of from $15 to $25 a month, If the prospective patient does not answer immediately he is besieged with a line of follow-up letters.and finally as a great individual favor he is told that he can obtain this marvelous guaran- tead flesh reducer for the sum of $2.50.In return for the reduced price, however, the patient must agree to tell all his fat friends about this wonderful means of shedding avoirdupois.Judging from the letters received by the department appealing to it to stop this practice undar the Food and Drugs act, women are usually the victims of these \u2018professors.\u2019 The strong feature of most of the literature is that no dieting is necessary; the medicine is to Jo it all and the patient is told that ha can eat all he wants and as often as he wishes, which is a strong inducement to most stout people These preparations usually contain thyroids and a laxative, The thyrolds may prove very hurtful unless given under the advice of a physician personally familiar with the subject's physical condition.The department has on record an instanca where death has followed overdoses of preparations containing thyroids.Other preparations contain poke root (phytolacea) a poisonous drug.and others.an analysis shows, contain nothing that could possibly have the slightest effect in reducing flesh.Digestion is \u201cELIMINATED\u201d The promoters of one preparation assert that it secures most marvelous results by a process of elimination of foods without digestion, These people guarantee the reduce tion of a pound a day.A preparation of this character, if it did what its makers claim for it, would protably eliminate any need of digestion in the future.Another product, examination shows, consists principally of ordi- vary soap.The idea is to apply \u2018this locally with friction, and thus remove the fat wherever it may be in excess.A still more clever scheme provides chemicals to be added to the water in which the patient 58 to bathe, The conclusion reached is that the only way the department's specialists know of safely reducing flesh are rigid dieting and strenouous exercise.To be effective! these must be continued over a long period of time.The fat-reducing patient must eliminate from his announcements In many cares it is not wise, diet fats, starchy foods, and sugar.cause of other physical conditions, eR Motorist

mines have been laid in the North Sea by vessels disguised as neutral fishing bouts, à Woman who arrived at London from Bergen tells of the sinking of such a mine layer by a British cruiser.The ship on which she was travelling found itself one morning close to a number of Brit ish cruisers, one of which had caught 4 German trawler {lying the Norwegian flag and engageu in laying mines, According to this woman, the commander gave the crew of the trawler three minutes in which to leave their vessel, and they came tumbling over the side of the passenger ship, Then first backing up a bit, the cruiser rammed the offending trawler, and at the second attempt eut her in two and she went to the bottom.The camp at Valcartier receives many gifts, which show the soldiers are not forgotten.The

clothes were searched and he managed to convince the authorities that he was not a spy.He was released.To the fishermen in the North Sea a new occupation has been given them by the British government.Instead of fish they goout to sea to search for the mines planted at night by German cruisers and are well paid when they get one.The mines most difficult to detect, and therefore the most dangerous to ships, ar2 those which \u201cby some kind of anchorage, are kept just below the surface of the sea.To discover them a couple of trawlers steam slowly abreast tut a thousand yards or even more apart, They carry between them a strong line of steel wire, suffici°n*- ly weighted to sink as far as the vessels allow it.If the line meets the cable of a mine it drags it tv the surface, and unless the machine explodes in the operation it is fired by other means\u2014usually rifle bullets, As for floating mines they cannot always be seen if the sea is rough, consequently the trawlers use a big net, the top of which floats on the surface of the water while the lower edge is a littl: distance below.Much indignant feeling has been aroused by a German airship dropping bombs on the city of Antwerp.The airship, a large one, took advantage of its being a dark night.Hovering over the city it dropped eight bombs of a great exploding strength.According to an investigation conducted by the Judiciary court there have been ten killed, all harmless civilians, among them four women; eight have been injured, of whom several mortally.One bomb was exploded above the palace where the Queen and the Royal children are living.The mu- terial damages are enormous.A terrible panic prevailed, the people rushing into the street shouting and weeping and begging for assistance.A married couple Who were sitting at a window in their home were both killed, The woman\u2019s head was torn off.An American, Dr Seaman, attached to the U¢S.diplomatie corps, sent this message\u2014 Antwerp,

official opening of the Canadian National Exhibition, conducted by Sir John Gibson this afternoon.At the same time an appeal was added by Sir William Mulock, an appeal that the Canadian buying and consuming public should discriminate against German-made goods of all classes, and that they should seize this opportunity to develop their own manufactures in all the greater proportion, \u201cUntil

Of late there have been many reports of sickness and loss of fowls, principally hens, in this part of the county.A form of dysentry is probably the trouble in most cases, The symptoms of this disease are: the bird is thirsty, has little or no appetite, feathers are ruffled.comb is dark red and limpid, the bird mopes, and in bad cases becomes\u2019 scarcely able to walk, \u2018and often, finally dies.The cause of this trouble can usually be traced to lack of eani- tation.or to improper methods of teeding, Either the pov} ry-houie or roosting-place is in a filthy condition, or the birds are getting something in their food which is upsetting the digestive system.Feeding too much heavy grain, such as corn, may cause the trouble; but feeding musty or spoiled grain is more likely to be the base of the trouble.If the disease is at all prevalent in the flock we mav readily conclude that the trouble is \u2018due to one or both of the above mentioned causes, and knowing the cause the remedy is not difficult to find.Feed the hens nothing but good, pure, wholesome food, never feed musty or spoiled grain to fowls, 'and do not allow fowls access to such material as putrid or decaying meat.A dos: of epsom sults, 1-2 teaspoonful per bird dissolved in water and mixed in the mash, may prove beneficial as a corrective measure, solution of pot- assiain parmanganate, just eaoug\u2019.to color in the drinking water will prevent spread of the disease in this way.As regards sanitation see tha th- poultry house is well cleaned out; and thorough'y disinfect:d.espec- jully the roosting

scarcer ia the growing season, and equally necessary, moisture.This is une of the reasons why the farmer who keeps down his weeds is a good farmer.However, there are many farmers who manage to check the weeds fairly well in their fields, but who allow the weeds to grow in the fence corners ulong the roud-sides, and in such like places, This is a shif.less habit to get into und is merely storing up trouble for the future; for the weeds growing in such places will a bountiful erop of seed thus making the work of keeping down the weeds harder each year, when a few hours work with a scythe would do much to prevent the production of seed.We must not release our vigilance when the growing season is over, as after that most weeds have ample time to grow and ripen their seed, and such weeds as ragweed are particularly strong growers late in the season.Shallow plowing of land soon after haying and top-working regularly each week will keep down \u2018weeds quite effectively and will also put the soil in much bel- ter condition to produce next season's crop, provided the land is plowed again deeply in the fall.Sheep are a great help to the farmer in the keeping down of weeds, as there are few weeds that sheep will not eat, particularly if the pasture is short.Every farmer should keep at least a small floek of sheep for this reason as well as for the fact that sheep are one of the best paying classes of livestock.RYE FOR SPRING SOILING This year forage is not tou plentiful; and there will probably be a time in the spring when the silage will be low, and it will still be too early.to turn the cattle on the pastures without doing damage; then a field of fall rye would work in to excellent advantage as green feed.Fall rye can be depended on for soiling fron: May 15th to 30th.Prepare the land by plowing fairly deep (4in to Sin.) laying it over quite flat; roll with a heavy roller and topwork thoroughly with a dise and harrows leave for a week and then work again, Be sure and work the soil just before seeding and, if the soil is dry, roll and harrow after seeding.Seed with a drill at the rate of about 1% bushels per acre.Sow the rye about the 10th of September, and unless it makes a very rank growth do not pasture in the fall, as the top is needed in the winter protection of the plants.After \u2018the rye is cut or pastured off in the spring, the land can be plowed for corn; the decaying vegetable matter, in the roots and stubble of rye, warming the soil and giving the corn a good quick start.Seeding Down Meadows In The Fall On many farms, throughout this section, due to the extremely dry season, there is practically po stand of grass or clover on fields seeded down last spring.It is of fmportance to the farmer,in many cases, to get these fields seeded as soon as possible; this may be done qutie satisfactorily this fall; particularly in the case of grass, Top-work the soil thoroughly, directly after harvest, using a dise and harrow ¥ if the stubble is heavy or the land weedy, it will be better to plow lightly (2 and 8 in.) and roll \u2018afterward.Keep the topsoil worked, and seed early in September, harrow after seeding to ensure covering of tha eeed.Clover \u2018may alao be seeded down in the fall with chances of good results, but probably the better practise is to wait till spring and seed as early as possible.In seeding clover in spring excellent results have been obtained by sow- into the soil where it is ready to make use of the entire growing season, Of course in seeding on the snow, the seed is broadcast by hand or with a small portabie seeder, TIMELY HINTS Do not fail to attend the County Fair, and bring the family along.It may be that you can learn something there, and, at any rate, you will have a day's outing and a visit with the neighbors.Plan on exhibiting something if possible, For those who arz threshing their grain directly from the field, have a \u2018care about piling it too deeply as there is a danger of its getting musty if not thoroughly dry.Be careful likewise in feeding new grain to horses, there is as much danger in changing from old grain to new as in making any other radical change in the diet.Try and get the calves on a good piece of pasture as soon as possible, any ' class of stock makes more rapid and economical growth when young; besides they will winter more easily.For calves that have been in the stable all summer, pasturing, oa good pasture, for a month or so in the fall is a benefit, in that they will do better when turned oi pasture next spring.For those who wish to try it.it is about time to sow fall wheat, prepare the land simialarly to directions given above for fall rye.Seed at the rate of about 2 bushels per acre.Some good crops of fall wheat have been raised in this

food.If a chick is developed from the egg without the aid of any external agency save heat it follows that the egg must contain within itself all the building material necessary for the making of the bird, along with such a supply of mutriment ps the latter requires, until ready to be hatched.In Kingsley's words they truly are\u2014 , \u2018 \u201cI'reasure-houses wherain lie, Locked by angels\u2019 alchemy, Milk and hair, and blood and bones.\u201d In chemical language they contain much proteid and mineral matter, especially salts of lime, iron, and phosphoric acid, and these are the only materials out of which \u201cblood and bone\u201d can be built up.They also contain fat, for that is the most compact form in which nutriment can be stored for the young \u2018chick.\\ Wihite of Egg as a Food Egg white contains 12 per cent.of egg albumen, and there is reason to \u2018believe that egg albumen is in no way inferior in nutritive value to the proteids of meat.Now, the beef juice of commerce, sold for invalids, is recommended for the albumen which it contains, but it is horribly expensive\u2014quite beyond the means of many people.It is really pathetic to see poor people in cases of illness paying large sums for so very small a return.Egg \u2018White as a Substitute for Beef Juice It would \"be well if it could be more widely known how very excellent a substitute for Valentine's or other beef juices could be made in the following way\u2014 Put one white of egg intoacup and beat it with a fork till it is broken up and just beginning to get frothy, To this add two large tablespoonfuls of Liebig\u2019a extract or bovril with a very little hot water, and add it to the egg.Stia.n through muslin, and administer as you would meat juice, You have in this recipe 80z.of a solution practically the same chemically as beet juice for little more than 2 cents, or B4 times cheaper than most commercial juices.It is qui'e safe to give this as often as liked.\u2018 Boiling of Eggs Probably this heading will elicit a smile from many, but there ar: people all the same who cannot boil anegg, strange as it may seem.To begin with it is unfortunate that the term \u201cboiling\u201d should ever be used, for it implies that the egg is subjected to a temperature of 212 degrees F., and heat very much less than this is quite sufficient to cook an egg.If the egg is allowed to \u201cplump,\u201d to use an Ulsterism, the albumen is renderad tough and leathery.Just to prove this try the following experiment \u2014 Have boiling water in two email saucepans.Put fan egg into each pot, place one where it will boil hard, draw the other to the side and let it simmer very slowly\u2014 keep the temperature at about 175 degrees, At the end of 5 minutes open the eggs.In one which was boiled tthe white will be found dense mand leathery, while en examining the ome which was cooked considerably.below boiling point the white is found to be quite like a tender felly.From this you should learn that an egg should be put lon in boiling water and then cooked very very slowly.If to be lightly boiled, three minutes; if not quite milky just a little firmer, five or six minutes; hard-boiled, 18 minutes But i: is superfluous te remark that hard-boiled cggs do not come under the head of invalid cooking, Poached Egg Ingredients\u20141 egg, pinch of tat, v teaspoon vinegar, small piece of buttered toast, L .Method\u2014Toast and butter the bread and place it on a plate to keep hot.Into a small saucepan put enough bolling water to entirely cover the egg, add pinch of salt and half teaspoonful of vine- Rar, bring up to boiling point.Break the egg into a cup, gently slip it into the pot, putting the cup right into the water before sjowly emptying the egg out.Draw the pot to the eide of \u2018thie fire, and simmer very gently till ret\u2014about Bree min pa 0 on a - Hl SAT 10 pq 6 pcs Whit Whit » Doll: 40u Quar » +5Ib.3lb.* what the Roa Por} Lam Saut

the road crews are already at work, and by September 1 at least 150 crews of from 15 to 20 men each will be engaged, There will be from ten to twelve teams with every crew.In accordance with the plan announced by Premier Scott, about a week ago for affording relief to settlers whose crops have been a whole or partial failure, the whole of the road organization In Saskatchewan is now being moved in the southwest, Every married man in the districts which have suffered will be given work until he has earned $115 in wages, and every single man until hhe has earned $75.When these sums have been earned the settlers will be exçect- ed to stand aside and allow other men to take their places, in ord-r that the funds may ba distributed THE SECRET OF A LONG LIFE Is what Dr Wylie, former chief of the Pure Food Department at Washington, told about at the Chatuaqua, recently held at Malone, The Chatauqua platform has become the forum in the United States, where reforms, morally and politically, are agitated.From its humble origin, some twenty-five years ago, the Chatuaqua has become a great national feature.No longer is it a gospel camp, pitched beside lake Chatauqua, but a summer school passing from place to place, mixing humor and entertainment with education.Oa the same platform some senator, some doctor, or some judge, may pe found dividing the program with a snake charmer or a musician.\u201cEvery man has his story to tell,\u2014 some reform he thinks the country would benefit by\u2014but political influence or public opinion prevents its popular acceptance.To this man the Chatauqua is a God-send, Here he can profit financially by delivering his lecture and at the same time be sowing seed which will in time bring forth a harvest.Dr Wylie, as his calling denotes, places human life above all other national assets.A man may gain a million dollars, bat it will not lengthen his life or that of his fellowman, The coantry may spend ten millions on a warship but it dues not help mankind, or it may spend one hundred m'liions ou « vanal but it does not lengthen the life of man, but if, instead it wus to give him (Dr Wylie) an equal amount of money he could wipe out the great curse of the nation, the white plague, consumption.The doctor's method of speaking is his own, a two hour address mix.d with humor, pathos, biblical quotations, and medical facts, but at the same time told in a simple way that all can understand.He bases his belief on the assertion, that by proper rearing of children, the length of a person\u2019s usefulness Lo the world can be lengthened from 44 years to 84, The Doctor is weil fitted to illustrate his subject, for he stands 6 feet tall, is broad of shoulder, and belies his 70 years, and his audience, as they watch him earnestly ring out his points, are led to believe that he may yet reach his standard of 81, Hz mauin- tains that a man should live four times the length of time it takes him to mature and that this can be done by proper bringing up as a child and care of health in reaching maturity.Starting at the beginning, he pleads for no man ur woman to marry who is suffering.or whose forefathers hav> suf- fe.cd from any serious disease of mind or body.The old bible saying is too true, \u201cThe sins of the fathers shall be visited unto their children even on to the third and fourth generation.\u201d Only if he had the remaking of the passage he would say that they would last forever.Even as a farmer keeps a record of his cows, so the human race should keep a herd-book, and if weak people did not have peli- denial enough not to marry, then the government should interfere.Coming to the rearing of a child, he spoke of the value of pure milk, Today in the United States, out of every 1000 children born 127 die during the first year, and chief amongst these are thase who die during summer, How can this be avoided?By proper faod.See that plenty df pure milk from tuberculin tested cows is obtainable, then will the children live and thrive, Far one hundred milllons\u2014 as mueh as the government has spent on the Epie canal\u2014he would be willing to undertake the extermination of tuberculosis in the State of New York, To do this, he would buy every cow suffering from the disease and kill it, He would see that the cows were properly cared for and fed.Every person would have to be examined by a doctor and those whom the disease was working out in (for we all suffer more or less with it) would be sent to the mountains, and there, free from worry and care, live in the open, and he would guarantee the complete recovery of at least 90 per cent, for the disease is not necessarily incurable.Then dealing with the food of children he startled his audience by saying that many.children were starving, and thege were not in the homes of the poor but in the fami- lieg of the well-to-do.Why, be= cause they were fed on sugar.starch, oils, fats, which did not produce tissue, Feed the child on a simple diet of wheat, corn, iruits, and the bible and they would prosper and grow up into healthy and valuable citizens, But no, we feed them on starchy and oily foods, with lots of sugar, and then ironically make them carefully brush their teeth, when they have no teeth, only a few Jumps of sturch, and if the present manner of living keeps up, in a few years the Republic will be known as a toothiess nation, For liquids, give a child milk or water, never allow tea or coffee, far these contain ine gredients which act like sledge hammers on the little brain cells of the child.In like manner, the use of ice cold drinks in the sume.mer time should be banned.for they were bad far the digestive organs and will ruin thes: Referring to icecream, soda.nd like drinks he especially euademned cocoa 'kola which cantains an unusually large amount of caffeine, Publia schools he styled breeding places of disease and sickness, He surprised his audience by saying that measles causes one hundred deaths when small-pox kills one, and whooping cough fifty when diphtheria reaps a single blade, A child must have an educat'on, but the present system {nvolves too high risks to health, It would be better for the nation if the children could neither read nor write than be physically untit, His cure was to place medical inspec'ors daily at the door of every school and every child suffering from any disease would be turned back.Such was Dr Wylie's plea for the child.For older person his rules wera simple, lead a moral life, use no intoxicants or drugs, and if you use tobacco.at all use very little, He expressed his belie! that Qu nat nronin On THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER.and that this and the reforms he agitated would come into force when the women of the Union were given the franchise.The doctor's speech was listened to by a large audience of Malone's best people and deeply impressed them.__________ BORN At Glenelm, Que, on August 23, a daughter to Mr and Mrs Walter

By EARL] DERR BIGGERS Copyright, 1913, by the Bobbs-Merrill Company CHAPTER XXI.In the Name of the Law.AGEE'S eyes \u2018\u2018riyed to where the two vicuws of the dead man's falsehood whispered together in the shadows, and he wondered at the calmness with which Kendrick bad greeted Hayden in the room above.\u201cWhen Kendrick arrived,\u201d Professor Bolton went on, \u2018first of all he consulted his old friend Drayton.Drayton informed him that he had nothing to fear should his misstep be made public, for in reality there was at this late day no crime committed in the eyes of tbe law.He also told Kendrick how matters stood, and of the net he was spreading for Hayden.He had some fears, be sald, about sending a man of my years alone to Baldpate inn.Kendrick begged for the chance to come too.So, without making his return known in Reuton, three nights ago be accompanied me bere.Three nights\u2014 it seems years.! had secured keys for us both from John Bentley.As we climbed the mountain I noticed your light, and we agreed it would be best if only one of us revealed ourselves to the intruders in the ipn.So Kendrick Jet bimself in by a side door while 1 engaged you and Blund in the office.He spent the night on the third floor.In tbe morning I told the whole affair to Quimby.knowing his interest in both Hayden and Kendrick, and secured for Kendrick the key to the annex.Almost as soon as I arrived\"\u2014 The curtain went up on the melodrama,\u201d suggested Mr.Magee.\u201cYou state it vividly and with truth,\u201d Professor Bolton replied, \u201cNight before last the ordinance numbered 43 was due to pass the council.It was arranged that when it did.Hayden, through his man Rutter, or personally, would telephone the combination of the safe to the mayor of Reuton.Car- gan and Bland sat in the office watching for the flash of light at the telephone switchboard, while you and | were Max's prisoners above.Something went wrong.Hayden beard that the courts would issue ap injunction making ordinance No.45 worthless.So, although the council obeyed Car- gan's instructions and passed the bill, Hayden refused to give the mayor the combination.\u201d The old man paused and shook his head wonderingly.\u201cThen melodrama began in dead earnest,\u201d he continued.\u2018I have always been & man of peace, and the wild scuffle that claimed me for one of its leading actors from that moment will remain ib my memory as long as I live Cargan dynamited the safe.Kendrick held him up.You beld up Kendrick.I peeked through your window and saw you place the package of money under a brick in your fire place\u201d\u2014 \u201cYou\u2014the curtains were down,\u201d (n- terrupted Magee.\u201cI found a half inch of open space,\u201d explained the old man.\u201cYes, I actually lay on my stomach in the snow and watched you.In the morning for the first time in my life I committed robbery.My punishment was swift and sure.Bland swooped down upon me.Again this afternoon 1 came upon the precjous package, after a long search.in the bands of the hermit of Bald- pate.I thought we were safe at last when I handed the package to Kendrick in my room tonight, but I bad not counted on the wild things a youth Hke you will do for love of a designing maid.\u201d Twelve o'clock! The civic center of Upper Asquewan Falls proclaimed it \u201cNo,\u201d said Mr.Magee.answering aloud bis own question.\u201cYou are wrong.sir.I do not know just what the motives of Miss Norton were in desiring this money, but I will stake my reputation as an honest boldup man that they were perfectly all right\u201d \u201cPerhaps,\u201d replied the other, quite unconvinced \u201cBut what honest motive could she bave?I am able tn assign her no role in this little drama\u201d\u2014 \u201cPardon me,\u201d broke in Magee, \u2018but would you mind telling me why Miss Thornhill came up to Baldpate to join in the chase for the package?\u201d \u201cHer motive,\u201d replied the professor, \u201cdoes her great credit.For several years ber father, Henry Thornhill, has been forced through illness to leave the management of the railway's affairs to his vice president.Hayden.Late yesterday the old man heard of this proposed bribe\u2014on his sick bed He was very nearly insane at the thought of the disgrace it would bring upon him.He tried to rise himself and prevent the passing of the package.His daughter, a brave, loyal girl, berself undertook the task.\u201d \u201cThen,\u201d sald Mr.Magee, \u201cMiss Thorahill is not distressed at the loss of the most important evidence in the case.\u201d \u201c1 have explained the matter to her,\u201d returned Professor Bolton.\u201cThere is no chance whatever that her fathers name will be implicated.\u201d \u201cDid Miss Thornhill and Kendrick meet for the first time after his exile upstairs\u2014in No.7?\u201d Mr.Magee wanted to know.\u201cYes,\u201d answered Professor Bolton \u201cIn une of his letters long ago Hayden told Kendrick be was engaged to the girl.It was the last letter Kendrick received from him.\u201d There was a pause \u201cThe important point now,\u201d the old man went on \u201cis the identity of this girl to whom you have made your princely gift out of the goodmess of your young heart.I propose to speak to the woman she has introduced as ber mother and elicit what information I can\u201d He crossed the floor, foilowed by Mr.Magee, and stood by the woman's chair.8he looked up, her eyes heavy with sleep, ber appearance more tawdry than ever in that faint light \u201cMadam,\u201d remarked the professor, with the air of a judge trying a case, \u201cyour daughter bas tonight made her escape from this place with a large sum of money earnestly desired by the attorney of Reuton county.In the name of the law 1 command you to tall me ber destination and what she proposes to do with that package of greembacks.\u201d \u201cShe ain't my daughter,\u201d she replied, and Mr.Magee's heart leaped up.\u201cI you speak about\u2014hbas been my or three years.- She brought .as a mort of chapeton, though 1 Gon't yt.£ | perfectly lovely young woman.and | your money couldn\u2019t be safer with the president of the United States.\u201d | Mr.Mygee could have embraced this faded woman for her uews.He looked at his watch.lt was 12:20.\u201cThe siege is over!\" he cried \u201cI shall not attempt to direct your actions any longer.Mr.Peters, will you please go down to the village and bring back Mr, Quimby and\u2014the coroner?\u201d \u201cThe coroner!\u201d The mayor of Reu- ton jumped to his feet.\u201cI don't want to be in on any Inquest scene.Come on, Max, let's get out of here.\u201d Bland stood up.His face wus white and worried.His gay plumage no longer set the tone for his mood.\u201cI think I'll go, too,\u201d he announced, looking hopefully at Magee.\u201cI'm no longer your Jailer,\u201d Magee suld.\u201cProfessor, these gentlemen are your witnesses.Do you wish to de taip them?\" \u201cSee here,\u201d cried the mayor angrily.| \u201cthere ain't no question but that you can find me in Reuton any time you want me at the little rvom ov Main street.Anybody can tell you my bours.The door's always open to any reformer that bas the nerve to climb ' the stuirs.Look me up there.[I'll : make it interesting for you.\u201d \u201c1 certainly shall,\u201d the professor replied, \u2018and very soon.Until then you may go when and where you please.\u201d \u201cThanks!\u201d sneered the mayor.\u201cI'll expect you.I'll be ready.I've bad to get ready to answer your kind before.You think you got me, eh?Well, you're a fool to think that, As for Drayton, the pup, the yellow streaked pup, I'll talk to Mr.Drayton when 1 get back to Reuton.\"\u201d ; \u201cBefore you go.Bland.\" remarked ' Magee, smiling, \u201cI want to ask about | Arabella.Where did you get her?\" \u201cSome of it happened to a friend of mine,\u201c the ex-haberdasher answered, \u201ca friend that keeps a clothing store.: 1 got this suit there.I changed the story bere and there.\u201d ! Mr.Magee laughed, but over the long lean face Qf Bland not the ghost of a smile fitted.He was frightened through and through.\u201cYou're a fine bunch,\u201d sneered Mr.- Max.\u201cReformers, eh?Well, you'll \u2018 get what the rest of 'em always got.| We'll tie you up In knots aud leave Fou on the doorstep of some orphap \u2018 asylum before we're through with ; you.\u201d | \u201cCome ou.Lou,\" said Cargan.\u201cDray- ton's a smart guy.Duc.Where's his \u2018 proof?Eloped with the bundle of dry goods this young man's taken a fancy | to.And even if be had the money\u2014 I've been up against this many a time.! You're wasting your talents, Doc.! Good night! Come on, boys.\u201d Mr.Magee turned back from the .window to the dim interior of the ho tel office.He who bad come tu Buld- pate inn to court Joneliness bad never felt so lonely in bis life, for he had lost sight of ber\u2014in the great Reuton station of his imagination she had |! slipped from his dreams\u2014tu go where | be could not follow, even in thought | Selecting a log of the hermit\u2019s cut | ting from the stock beside the bearth.\u2018 Mr.Magee tossed it on the fire.There | followed a shower of sparks and a flood of red light in the room.Through ! this light Kendrick advanced to Ma- | gee's side, and the first of the Bald- i pate hermits saw that the man's face | was lined by care, that his eyes were | tired even under the pew light in | them, that his mouth was twisted bit- ! terly.| \u201cPoor devil,\u201d thought Magee Kendrick drew up chairs for bimselt and Magee and they sat down.Behind them the bulky Mra.Norton dozed, dreaming perhaps of her Reuton | boarding house, while Miss Thornhill | and the professor talked intermittently | in low tones.The ranks at Baldpate | were thinning rapidly.before long the i place must settle back with a sigh in ! the cold to wait for its first summer | girl.; \u201cMr.Magee,\" said Kendrick nervous- - ly, \u201cyou bave become involved in an | upkind, a tragic story.| do not mean : the affair of the bribe\u2014I refer to the - matter between Hayden and myself.\u201d \u201cIf you had rather not\u201d'\u2014 began Ma- \u201cNo,\u201d replied Kendrick, \u201c1 prefer \u2018 that you should know.It wds you | who took tbe pistol from\u2014bis band.| | do not believe that even | can tell you | all that was in Hayden's mind when be went into that other room and | closed tbe door.It seems to me pre- ' posterous that a man of his sort | should take his life under the circum.- stances.1 feel somehow that there | is a part of the story even 1 do not know.But let that be.\u201d He bowed his bead in his hands.\u201cEver since I came into this room,\u201d be went on, \u201cthe eyes of a pompous little man have been following me about They have constantly recalled to me the nightmare of my life.You have noticed, no doubt, the pictures of the admiral that decorate these walls?\u201d \u201cI bave,\u201d replied Magee.He gazed curiously at the nearest of the portraits.How persistently this almost mythical starched man wove in and out of the melodrama at Baldpate inn.\u201cWell,\u201d continued Kendrick.\u201cthe ad- mifal\u2019s eyes haunt me.Perhaps you know that he plays a game\u2014a game of solitaire 1 have good reason to re member that game.It is a silly inconsequential game.You would scarcely believe that it once sent a man to hell.\u201d He stopped.\u201cI am beginning in the middle of my story.\u201d be apologized.\u201cLet me go back.Six years ago | was hardly the man you see now\u2014I was at least twenty years younger.Hayden and I worked together in the office of the Suburban railway.We had been close friends at college.1 believed in him and trusted him, although | knew he had certain weaknesses.1 was a happy man.{ had risen rapidly, | was young, the future was lying golden before me, and 1 was engaged.The daughter of Henry Thornhill, our employer\u2014the girl you bave met bere at Baldpate\u2014 had promised to be my wife.Hayden had also been a suitor, but when 0 engagement was announced he can to me like a wan, and | thought bis words were sincere.\u201cOne day Hayden told me of s chance we might take which would make us rich.It was not altogether within the law, but it was the sort of thing that other men were doing con stantly, and Hayden assured me that as he had arranged matters it was ab solutely safe.My great sin is that | agreed we should take the chance, a sin for which I have paid, Mr.Magee, over and over.\u201d Again be paused and gazed steadily st the fire.Again Magee noted the gray at his temples, the aftermath of fevers in his cheeks.\u201cWe took the chance.\u201d he went on \u201cFor a time everything went well Theo one blustering March night Hayden came to me and told me we were certain to be caught.We arranged to meet the next night at the Argots club and decide on what we should do.\u201cWe met In the library of the club, Hayden came in to me from the card room adjoining, where be bad been watching the admira) doddering over tis eternal game, Just at that moment the admiral finished bis game and went out.We were alone in the \u201cHayden told me he bad thought the matter over carefully.There was nothing to do but to clear out of Reu- ton forever.Bat why, be argued Cau hl?\u201cit was\u2014red\u2014a measly little red two spot.\u201d lives?lt would be far better, be told me, for one to assume the guilt of both and go away.\u201cI agreed to his plan.Hayden led the way into the room where the ad- wmiral bad been playing.We went up to the table, over which the green shuded light still burned.On it lay two decks of cards, face up.Hayden picked up the nearest deck and shuf- fed it nervously.His face\u2014God, it was like the snow out there ou tbe mountain!\u201d \u201cHe beld out the deck,\u201d went on the exile softly: \u2018told me to draw.He said if the card was black he'd clear out.\u2018But if it's red, David, be said, \u2018why\u2014 you\u2014got to go.1 held my breath and drew.It was a full minute before | dared look at the card in my hand.Then 1 turned it over, und it was\u2014red \u2014a measly little red two spot, | dou't suppose a wun ever realizes nll at once what such a moment means.1 Te member that I was much cooler than Hayden.It was 1 who bad to brace him up.I\u2014I even tried to joke with blm.But his face was like death, He hardly spoke at all at tirst, und then suddenly he became horribly talkative, I left him\u2014talking wildly\u20141 left Reu- ton.I left the girl to whom | was engaged.\u201d Ï drick after a puuse.\u201cThere wus no treaty of extradition, I smoked cigarettes and drank what passed fur rum ou the balcony of un Impossible hotel, and vtherwise groped about for the path thut leads tu the devil.After a year, I wrote to Hayden.He answered, urging me to stay away.He intimated that the thing we had done was on wy shoulders.1 was ashamed, frightfully unbappy.1 didn't dare write to\u2014her.| bad disgraced ber.[ asked Hayden about ber, and be wrote back that she was shortiy to marry him.After that 1 didn\u2019t want to come back to Reutun, 1 wunt- ed most\u2014to die.\u201cThe years crept by on the balcony vf that impossible hotel.Six of them.At last, a few months ago, 1 wrote to another college friend of mine, Dray- ton, and told him the whole story.1 did not know that he had been elected prosecutor in Reuton.He answered with a kiod, pitying letter, and finally 1 knew the horrible truth.Nothing bad ever bappened.The thing we had done had never been discovered.Huy- den had lied.He hud even lied nbout bis engagement to Myra \u2018Thornhill.There, he had made a reality out of what was simply his great desire\u2014l came north, What happened after you know as well as 1.\u201d \u201cYes, 1 think I do,\u201d agreed Mr.Ma: gee softly.\u201cI have told you tbe whole story.\u201d Kendrick replied.\u201cand yet it seems to me that still it is not all told.Why should Hayden have killed himself?He had lied to me, it is true, but life was always sweet to him, and it bard- ly seems to me that he was the sort to die simply because his falsebond wus discovered.\\Vas thee sole other act of cruelty \u2014soine side to

struuge mission?\u201d \u201cI'he Lomt knows,\u201d replied the woman.1 certainly never intended to.but she begged and pleaded, and the tirst thine [| knew | was on 1 train Nhe bax winning ways, that

If vou was ennsidering offering yourself for the joh ef changing ber name, Mr.Magee, | say go tw and da it It sure is rthoe she settled down ind gave up thig\u2014this\u2014gave 1t all up bufore wowething awful happens to her.Yoo won't forget, the very next train, Mr, Magee?\u201d \u201cTho very pext,\u201d Magee ugreed.In through the dining room door stamnped Quimby, gruve of face, duzed at being roused frown sleep, and with bim an luiportant little maw whose duty it was tw Investigute at Upper Asquewan I'alls such things as bad bappened that plght nt Baldpate Eveu from bis slumber be rose with the alr of u Judge and the waunver of a Sherlock Holmes.Fur ap hour be asked questions, und In the end be prepared tu go ID à seemingly satistied state of mind.Quimby\u2019s fuce was very awed when be came downstairs after a visit to the roow above.\u201cPoor fellow!\" he sald to Magee.\u201cI'm sorry\u2014he was so young.\" for such as Quimby carry no feud beyond the gates.He went over and took Kendrick's band.\u201cI never had a chance,\u201d be sald, \u201cto thank you for all you tried to do for me and my invention.\u201d \u201cAnd it came to nothing in the end?\" Kendrick asked.\u201cNothing.\u201d Quimby answered.\u201cI\u2014I had to creep back to Baldpate mountain finally, broke and discouraged.| have been bere ever since.All my blue prints, all my models~\u2014they're locked away forever In a chest up In the attic.\u201d \u201cNot forever, Quimby,\u201d Kendrick replied.\u201cI always did believe tn your Invention.I!

courts can settle it, wore Minutes of bustle | but the grave fault seems to lie with the general | sea regulations, which are often mis- interpretes, and with a certain want \u2018 of up-to-dateness in taking necessary precautions against collisions and of using the latest appliances.In a recent article J, B.Millet, the well-known authority on under water signals, says of the St.Lawrence disaster: \u2018Collisions between steamships at sea in fog need not occur.I want to make that statement as strong us possible in hopes of assuring attention.There is no more reason why two steamships should collide in a fog than one should run into a lightship anchored to guard a shoal, The apparatus exists to prevent such col- lisfons, and it has been in partial use for ten years.\u201cThe necessity of educating navigators to use the bell of their apparatus is apparent from the well attested experience of many captains who have located steumers in fog by listening for sound of their screws.In the case of a collision like this, where the ships are proceedings slowly in fog, or should be, it {8 not necessary to have an installed electrical receiving apparatus, If an observer is stationed below the water line in some quiet spot, preferably forward, he can easily detect the sound by placing his ear to the skin of the ship and com- raring the sounds on the port with those on the starboard, \u2018An ordinary broom handle or piece of pine stick with one end placed agalnst the skin of the ship and the other end held to the ear forms an excellect receiver.As for the bell itself, a bell weighing ten or twelve pounds when rung under water can be heard from two to five miles, according to the draft of the ship on which the listener is stationed.The deeper the draft the more sound waves attack the ship owing to the greater wetted surface.\u201cIn the case of the Empress of Ireland, which was equipped with apparatus for receiving, but not for sending, signals through the water, the moment she lost headway she became a dangerous target for other vessels on account of her size and inability to move.\u201cAny vessel so situated needs signals through the water for the reason that they can be trusted, while gounds in the alr cannot.By this means other vessels approaching are supplied with warnings, and it is sup- poged that all navigators are instructed to listen and to use such sounds.It is not known whether the officers of the collier had been Instructed in the value and use of sounds in water, but it fs entirely possible that if they had been and especially if their ship had been equipped with receiving apparatus they might have located the Empress by the sound of her pumps or screws.\"However this may be, since sound in water can be trusted, it is clearly the duty of all who are in positions of authority in maritime matters to gee to it that the subject is given the attention that it deserves.Moreover, it should be taught to all navigators.\u2019 Canadian Coat-of-Arms.It Is popularly supposed that the coat-of-arms of Canada consists of the arms, joined as quarterings, of all the provinces which form Confederation.This idea has, to a certain extent, been confirmed by the semiofficial endorsement given in many Government publications, but ft is none the less erroneous, for the quar- terings are confined to the original four provinces \u2014 Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario\u2014 which, on July 1, 1867, were united by the British North American Act into the Dominion of Canada.Therefore, a correct coat-of-arms contains the arms of only these four provinces.In the upper left-hand corner, or quarter of the shield, are the arms of Ontario, which consists of a sprig of three leaves of maple on a green background, and above them the red cross of St.George on a silver background.In the other upper quarter are the arms of Quebec, consisting of the fleur de lig, the lion \u2018\u2018passant gardant\u2019 on a gold background, and below the lion a sprig of three maple leaves, In the lower left quarter, and below tbe arms of Ontarlo, are the arms of Nova Scotia, consisting of two thistles on a blue background, below this a salmon, and a thistle on a blue background.In the other lower corner, and below the arms of Quebec, are the arms of New Brunswick, consisting of a lion \u2018\u2018passant gardant\u2019 and below fit, an ancient galley, with oars in action and sall spread, Modern Education, Here are a few howlers certified to be by Canadian pupils and culled from

of Scotland recalls the class of a former day known as \u2018cock lairds.\u201d The cock-laird has been drawn to the life by Sir Walter Scott, KR.L.Stevenson, and others-\u2014with his thrift, his cool courage and canny wit, his Christianity and common-sense, and his pride and patriotism.He made history, especially in the Lowlands, where we lind cock-lairds thickly planted in early days\u2014\u2018'Sae canty, kind, and croose.\u201d His land might be some hundreds or only a few acres, but a cock-laird was a landowner who cultivated his own land.If a farm was only ten acres or less he was a \u2018\u2018wee cock- laird,\u201d and managed to do all the work with the help of his family.If large, the laborers were planted In cottages close to the farm house, and sometimes such a farm-toon, bit by bit, rose into a small village.Other cottages stood not far from the farm house, where the laborer had a gar den and a cow's grass.At harvest, in the slow days of cutting with the hook, the cottagers and neighbors helped in the grain of giff-gaff fashion.This \u2018\u2018neeborliness\u2019\u2019 bound a coun- try-side together, and let the cock- laird put two pennies in his pooch, to \u201ccreep thegether.\u201d Cock-lairds, big and wee, seldom paid In money, but nearly always in fodder for the poor man's cow or a pickle wool tor the guldwife to spin in the winter nights, This meant a bargain on both sides.There were many more of these cock-lairds in the lowlands Lhan in the Highlands, and from his pecullar- ity may be traced how much more in- , dependent and advanced tha people of the Lowlands were In the days of the old Scottish Parllament, Cock-lairds of the very \u2018wee\u2019 kind were always adepts at getting something to do in leisure moments.One would be an expert in killing and cutting up a bacon pig, another would be rather clever in making véry good baskets out of the willows that grew in a corner of his field, and a third would be coal carter and general carrier.Work In the woods would sometimes be got, and such men ware often good at hurdle making, while others would take a great pleasure - In making ornamental bits of furni ture out of trea roots, etc.Sea fish- Ing ls sometimes a side industry in ° suitable localities, and ferreting and ' digging out rabbits for farmers In others.Generally industrious, as they exist to-day, the \u201cwee cock-lairds,\u201d are fairly prosperous, being not afraid of a bit of work, 1f they are sometimes over-thrifty, and inclined to peewvish- ness, It must be remembered that life Is a preity stiff argument to them, and requirvs the exercise of much in- i For the Children Vinson W.Mclean Has a New Playmate.@ by American Press Association.Vinson Walsh McLean, whose features are seen in this picture, the mil- Honaire baby, son of Mr.and Mrs, Edward B.McLean of Washington and Newport, has recently acquired a new playmate.This person is the son of Dr.Shirley Carter of Warrenton, Va., who is to be the guest of the McLeans | for an indefinite period.Both are healthy, happy five-year-olds; but, while the willlonaire baby is attended by a nursery governess, two purses each with a diploma from a training school, ; a nurse maid or two and two able.| bodied detectives, the little Virginian ' has been taught to stand on his own sturdy feet and to ride the blue ribbon anhmmals of the Carter stable with no other bodyguard than one of his fa- thei's jockeys.i The boys will spend the summer at Black Point farm, Master McLean, if be Inberits ail he may be expected to inherit, will have ° about $150,000,000 and be the richest | boy in America, His grandfather, the late Thomas F.Walsh of Colorado, left the youngster about $100,000,000.From his paternal grandfather, Jobo R, McLean, he will inherit at least half as much.Throwing the Brick.Draw two lines fifteen feet apart, then divide the boys into two companies, allowing each player a piece of brick or square wood that can be easily ; thrown.Each player on one side : throws his brick, trying to come as | near as possible to tbe line on tbe other side.The one farthest from the line sets up his brick on the line and the one nearest standing on the opposite side pitches at it.If he fails to | knock it over he sets up his brick and | the other boy pitches at it.If be succeeds he picks it up, goes back to the line, pitches It again, near the other brick, bops over it and kicks hls brick.near that of his companion.Then te must pick up his brick and carry it successively on his head, on each shoulder, on bis back, on his breast (walking), in the bend of his knee (hopping), in between hls legs (shuffling), each time starting at the line and proceed- tng to the other brick and.knocking it over.Finally he marks a square inclosing the brick and about eighteen inches square, and if be can hop over this, he Is declared a winner.If be fails In any one of the \u201cstunts\u201d be must walt his turn, but can then begin at the point where he failed.A Homemade Toy.Did you ever see boys walk on stilte?It looks like dangerous sport, but it is not after you have a little practice.In fact, you can take rapid strides with them, as do the shepherds in the desert of Laudes, in the south of France.They can run, jump, hop and dance on them with ease and security.When they stand on the stilts they can watch thelr flock, their feet being protected from the water during tbe winter and the hot sands in summer.In addition to the stilts, they use a long staff.which they carry in their hands.Tbie forms the third leg when they require rest : To make stilts procure two poles about six or seven feet long and nali on a strap of leather about one-tblrd from the bottom of each.Into these the feet are placed, the poles belng kept in a proper position by tbe bande and moved forward by the action of the legs.Some American boys nail on wooden supports for the feet to rest upon Instend of the leather straps.Growing
