to exercise every care in packing parcels for the troops, as careful packing is absolutely essential to ensure delivery of the parcels in good order.Parcels sent abroad require a higher standard of packing than is necessary in the Canadian Parcel Post, and this applies with even greater force to parcels for the troops.Those which are inadequately packed run great, risk of damage or loss of contents.Thin cardboard boxes, such as shoe boxes, and thin wooden boxes, should not be used; nor does the single sheet of ordinary brown paper afford sufficient protection.The following forms of packing are recommended.* (1) Btrong double cardbourd boxes, preferably those made of corrugated cardboard, having \u2018lide which completely enclose the sides of the boxes.(2) Strong wooden boxes.(3) Several folds of stout packing paper.(4) Additional security is afforded by an outer covering of linen, calico or canvas, which should be securely sewn up.The address of the parcel should be written in ink on the cover preferable, in two places.The address of the sender should aleo be stated in order that it may be retarned if undeliverable.The contents of the parcel should be stated in writing on the cover.In the case of parcels sent to the Mediterranean Force, they should be very strongly packed.They should be as nearly round as possible, and well padded with shavings, crampled paper, or similar protective material.The outer covering should consist of of strong linen, calico or canvas, and should be securely sewn up.The use of wooden or metal boxes with square corners is undesirable, as parcels so packed are liable to injure other parcels in transit.No perishable articles should be sent, and anything likely to become soft or sticky, such as chooco- lates, should be enclused in tins.Parcels merely wrapped in paper or packed in thin cardboard boxes, such as shoe boxes, cannot be accepted, WHAT WILL YOU LACK, SONNY?\u2018What will you /ack, sonny ; what will you

SITUATION.The following extraota of an article from a Dewapaper of Gothenburg, Sweden, will be of interest to growers of vegetable seeds.The article refers to the Board of Directors of the Agricultural College of Alnarp, Sweden, asking for a government grant for the encouragement of vegetable seed growing.\u201cThe Board points out that the war has most clearly emphasized the importance, for the country, of home production of vegetable seed.Owing to the most important vegetable seed producing countries having probibited the export of such seed, the prices of a great number of important vegetable seeds bave risen enormously.And still worse, some seeds can hardly be obtained at any price.It is reported, from a well informed source, that vegetable seed growing in the countries engaged in the war, has been largely neglected during the pastsum- mer and that for this reason further advances in prices can be expected.Reports from Germany state that the , supply of seed spinach, carrote, most kinds of cabbages, onions, cucumbers and peas is utterly small.Furthermore, Germany has prohibited the ex- « port of vegetable seeds to the end of the war.There is therefore every reason to fear that we have to face the possibility of a very serious shortage of certain vegetable seeds.\u201d - APPLE GROVE.Mrs.Geo.Harvey has returned from her trip to Boston and

conflicting statements have been given out concerning the sinking of the ltalian steamship Ancona bound from Italy to America witha large number of passengers last week, On one side it is claimed that the ship was shelled without warning and that the attacking submarine continued to fire while the inoffensive passengers were being lowered in the ship's boats; on the other side that the An- cons tried to escape after the halting signal bad been given, and that firty minutes\u2019 grace was given to passengers.About the only thing of which we are absolutely certain is that the Teutonic allies have added another chapter to their lst of diabolical crimes against humanity.BARNSTON.Miss Clemer Converse, who was operated on for appendicitis, about a week ago, by Dr.Lyach of Sherbrooke and

Go Ontil His Stamp Was on the \u201cPrincess Lats.\u201d Writing of the glorious \u2018Princess Pats\u201d\u201d\u2014The Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry\u2014and of the late Col.Francis Farquhar, a correspondent says: \u201cWhen the colonel looked at you,\u201d said bis men, \u201cyou looked around to see what it was behind you that he was looking at.\u201d ° He knew his Canadians and he knew bis Réitish army.He had soldier brains and soldier spirit and the gift of making men like him.When the \u201cPrincess Pats\u201d reached Flanders they found a brougham in the stables of a chateau and drove Col.\u201cFanny\u201d about behind a four-horse team in something of the style which befitted the commander of Princess Patricia's Canadian Li ht Infantry.\u201cIf a German flare lighted at his feet,\u201d said one of his officers, \u201cillumining his figure to the German sharpshooters, he did not seem to know that it was there.He went right on talking.Did he duck his head below the parapet of the trench as he walked along Not he.\u201d It never occurred, to him, He was too interested in his work.\u201d German sharpshooters being particularly on the lookout for this kind of a target, it was surprising that Farquhar lasted until March, .But Farqubar did not go till he had put his stamp on the \u2018Princess Pats\u2019\u201d\u2019\u2014not till March, and after St.Eloi.His men will talk about him for hours.From bim they learned the A B C's of winter trench warfare in that salient of St.Eloi, the kind of trench where if you laid down your rifle and went to pick it up again it had very likely disappeared in the mud, where at best a rifle would get foul with dirt in two or three days.They were stuck out ln an angle, where they got an enfllading fire\u2014 yes, very much stuck with the icy water up to their knees in places and in other places up to their thighs, Steam-heated hotel rooms in Montreal and cozy corners in slippers with Your evening paper under the lamplight seemed far away.That salient must be held against the Germans, whose trenches were anywhere from 30 to 60 yards distant.Frost-bite was a worse enemy even than the German bullets.A Canadian knows how to battle with frost-bite, too.EXPORTS JUMPED.Canadian Goods Are Making Remarkable Gains in Britain.Some remarkable increases in importations of some Canadian products into Great Britain are shown by figures for the month of August supplied to the Trade and Commerce Department by Commissioner Dyer, of Leeds, England.The shipments of \u201cgawn or split\u201d timber from Canada to the United Kingdom reached 201,- 744 loads, contrasted with only 93,- 847 loads in August of 1914, Leather came In from Canada to the extent of 8,173 cwt., whereas only 3,087 cwt.were recorded last August.The shipments of hog products from Canada still continue their upward tendency.During August 71,- 434 cwt.of Canadian bacon and 13,066 cwt.of Canadian hams were imported.In this connection the following comparison of the imports for the first eight months of the present year and those for the same period of last year should be of interest.Imports of Canadian bacon, January to August, 1915, 623,573 cwt., as compared with 200,576 cwt, in the same period in 1914; imports of Canadian hams 99,5636 cwt.in 1915, compared with 44,004 cwt, in 1914, The imports of canned salmon, both from Canada and the United States, were on a particularly heavy scale.No less than 41,176 cwt.arrived from Canada during August, as compared with only 559 cwt.in the same month of 1914, Considerable supplies of Canadian eggs are also being imported, and it is stated the quantity could easily be increased.Specimens of Canadian timber are now being tested by the British Post Office Department with the intention of ascertaining whether they are suitable for telegraph poles for use in Great Britain.Broke Game Law.That Colonel Roosevelt, in order to save his own life, was obliged to shoot.his second moose was sworn to by himself and his two guides before Notary Public Panet, of St.Raymond, and deposited with the Fish and Game Branch in the Quebec Parliament Buildings.According to the statements, the colonel who was the guest of the Tourilli Club, had already killed the one moose allowed him by law and was returning with his two guides, Bebe Lorette and Joe Lefebvre, in a canoe when they sighted another moose at some distance, It was expected that as soon as the latter got their wind it would make away, but it showed no signs of fear and attempted to charge when the canoe came near, the colonel and his guides being forced to put to deep water.Colonel Roosevelt was later compelled to kill the animal.To Open Churches for Soldiers.Members of the Toronto Presbytery have decided to inaugurate an undenominational movement to look after the welfare, both spiritual and otherwise, of the soldiers who return to Toronto from the front.They also decided to have the pastors of all Presbyterian churches make appeals from the pulpits for the British Red Cross Society, and try to make the members of their churches contribute through the churches.This was done in answer to the appeal made to the Dominions by the authorities of the British Red Cross Society.The Presbyterians want all churches In the vicinity of the two camps that it is at present known will be in this city to throw open their halls, day and night, as club rooms for the soldiers.1t is proposed to have these halls fitted to serve tea and light lunches for the soldiers.VERMONT ITEMS.A whbite deer was seen a few days ago on the premises ot A.B.Miles, of Monkton Ridge.The stonesheds in Groton are nearly all closed down for the want of orders, and several men bave left town.The outside mason work on the new Methodist church at St.Johnsbury, is pearing completion and the roof is pearly on.Brightlook Hospital and Sunset Home, St.Jobnsbury, will each receive 8100 by the will of Lucy E.W.Choate, of Peacham.J.0, Ord, formerly of Barton, has been made mayor of Seal Beach, Cal.à new town juet formed.Mr.Ord was the firet resident of the place.There are three cases of infantile paralysis in the family of Freeman Fianders in Wheelock and the school in that district has been closed four weeks.Mrs.Samuel Whalley, of Charlottg celebrated her 90th birthday anniversary Monday.She had three birthday cakes.She is well and bappy and does most of her own bousework.Mrs.Harrison Prior, of Jefferson- ville, celebrated her ninety-fitth birthday anniversary November 16 at the home of her son.Her friends gave a surprise party and a dinper was served.Mre.Jane E.Albee, aged 88 years, widow of Lewin Lyman Albee, who died recently at her home io Bellows Falls, was one of the oldest members of the Universalist Oburch in that village.- Public-epirited citizens of Hyde Park, have donated a lot for a new library building and at a recent spec- inl meeting the voters accepted it and instructed the building committee to erect the building thereon.Mrs.Belle Brown, who died Novem- bar 7 at her home in Sheffield of infantile paralysis after an illness of less than a week, is survived by seven children, the eldest 11 years old, and the youngeet six weeks.She was 30 years old.A friend of education has given the museum at 8t.Johnsbury, 30 books of standard authors to be distributed to the children of the rural communities who desire to improve their time out of school hours by reading and who have no access to libraries.The output of shells at the plant of the Vermont Farm Machine Co.in Bellows Falls will from this time be less than 1,000 a day.This ie to fulfill the £850,000 contract for the Russians.For several days the output had been in the vicinity of 500 a day.The house, barn, and shed of Gardner Kenerson in Danville were destroyed by fire and nothing could be saved except a team, so fast did the flames spread.The fire is supposed to have started from a defective chimney.Insurance of $2,100 practically covers the loss.You may find a warmer climate than Vermont's from now on for a few months, but the chances ame you would not take a million to stay there the year round.This bracing and exhiliarating Green Mountain air ie what helps so many of our people to live to a beautiful old age.The set of farm buildings in Lunen- burg, owned and occupied by Gilbert Covey, were burned to the ground recently, with two horses, a colt and a calf, most of the farm machinery, all the contents of the house, and all the produce stored for winter.Insurance will only partially cover the loss.Mre.Samuel Whalley, of Charlotte, who was 90 years old Monday, wore a dress she finished making that day.She does all her own housework for herself and husband, who will be 90 years old next March.Mr.Whalley is also active and it is no uncommon sight to see him climbing ladders about their home.In trying to throw a belt on toa large wheel in the mill at East Concord \u2018with a piece of iron, George Moore, of that place, was badly injured as the swift motion of the wheel hurled the iron into his face.He was taken to Brigbtlook hospital at St.Johnebury.It is feared the bones of his face are crushed.Ground has been broken for a 30- acre pulp mill atÿWilmington for the Deerfield Pulp Co., which, when completed, will give employment to about 50 men, besides à wood crew of .about 100 men.The plant will use spruce exclusively.There ie a possibility that a plant for the manufacture of wood alcohol will be started in the spring.Dr.John M.Thomas, president of Middlebury College, is the Vermont member of the commission on church and country life which at its annual meeting to be held in Columbus, Obio, December 8-10, is to formulate plans for a nation-wide campaign for church federation in raral districts, so that eroh country church will serve a general community and not only one section.The commission will hold its annual meeting in connection with that off the Federal Council of Churches.Federation effort will probably be preceded by a survey of country church conditions in every atate.VERMONT ITEMS.Vermont papers have of late been boastful] over the quick settlement in court of some matter, but there are others.The supreme court has just decided the Homer W.Heaton will case and Mr.Heaton died fully 29 years ago.This, however, is not quite equal to an Orleans county case which was in the courts continuously in this state for 29 years.James M.Kelley of Morrisville went to Eden last week with a number of teams which he engaged in that section to haul Christmas trees to the station, but was so handicapped by the unexpected depth of snow that arrangements had to be made to begin again on the work, using sleds to a given point, and then loading upon wagons for the remainder of the trip.At the annual meeting of the Vermont State Grange to be held at the armory in Burlington, Tuesday, Wednesday and ThurSday, December 14-18, Willis N.Oady of Middlebury, state master, will preside.A banquet for 250 or more persons will be held at Hotel Vermont, Wednesday evening, with after-dinner exercises.The speakers have not yet been announced.Announcement is made of the engagement ot Miss Elizabeth Lee to Malcolm Fletcher Buck, both of Wells River.Miss Lee is the daughter of Mrs.Kate Deming Lee, the superintendent matron of the Woodsville Cottage Hospital, and of the late Dr.H.H.Lee, who for many years was a prominent physician of Wells River.Mr.Buck is tbe son of W.H.Buck, a business man of Welle River.Ball Lyons captured a large three- year-old fox single bauded, near his home in Bennington recently, without injuring the animal.A second fox from the same hole was shot trying to escape.The pelt was an exceptionally good one.The live fox will be placed in a cage which Mr.Lyons maintains on his farm, where he already has two other animals caught last winter.He will endeavor to breed a litter of the animals, Ernest L.Nolin, who fell from a roof in Brattleboro, suffered partial paralysis, his fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae being fractured.The bones were wired together and the young man was placed in a plaster cast from his hips to bis neck.Weights were hung from his feet and his head in order to keep the bone in exactly the same position and he must lie immovable for weeks.He attempted to jump a space of five feet between two buildings and fell two stories to the ground.The Broader View.A Lamoile county citizen, in expressing his views on the question of local option ae against the state-wide prohibition proposition, sends this word of encouragement to the officials of the Local Option League: \u2018As a temperance man I shall support the present local option law which has driven the rum seller from our country.I believe in letting well enough alone.\u201d There are others, of course, who take this same view of the question now before the people of Vermont; but The Tribune respectfully submits that this is not the broader view to which the state at large is entitled.The Lamoile county citizen above referred to records himself as a \u2018\u2018temperance man,\u201d and so we take it for granted tbat he contributes a \u2018No\u201d vote in the struggle to k his county free from the legalized sdlloon.Everybody in that county is to be congratulated on the existance of such a condition.Itis a fine thing for La- moile county to drive the rum sellers from that section.But the people of Lamoile county have a duty wbich points in the direction of other parts of the state beside their own.That duty, it seems to us, should lead them to say that a fine thing for Lamoile county\u2014that which contributes to the sobriety and prosperity of Lamoile county\u2014would be a fine thing for, and contribute to the prosperity of, every other section of the state; and, having said thie, to vote, next March, accordingly.It is not easy to understand that what is good for ope town, in thie matter of sobriety and prosperity, is not good for every other town in the state.It is not easy to understand why it ie the part of wisdom to throw around the people of all save a dozen Vermont towns the protection afforded by a \u201cNo\u201d vote, and at the same time allow these dozen towns to debauch everything within reach, and thas nullify, to a considerable degree, the effect of so many of these \u2018No\u2019 votes.It is the broader ylew-\u2014\u2014the desire that the entire state shall be kept as free as possible from the devastating inflaence of the liquor traffic\u2014that should possess the voters when they cast their ballots next spring.Guy Smith\u2019s farm buildings at Noyan Junction were burned early Nov.16, the loss including the substantial brick residence, three large barns, oarriage house, granery, two sheds, thirteen cows, horses, pigs, fowls, etc.Only à few articles were saved from the buildings.The loss is placed at $20,000, with very small insurance.It is believed that the fire was of incendiary origin.Products of Industrial School Farm.The products of the state industrial school farm at Vergennes the past year were as follows: Fifteen tons of millet (soiling), 125 tons of hay, 400 tons of ensilage, 700 bushels of field corn, 800 bushels of oats, 500 bushels of potatoes, 80 of wheat, 80 of barley, 150 of beans, 800 of tomatoes, 100 of cucumbers, 200 of beets, 76 of carrots, 15 of onions, 50 of parsnips, 5,000 heads of cabbage, 25 tons of sweet corn, all of which went to supply the tables, 10 tons of summer and 4 tons of winter squash, 5,000 heads of lettuce, 500 bunches of beets, 300 bunches of radishes, 100 bushels of green peas, 300 bunches of onions, 400 bushels of sugar beets, 50 of string beans, 400 bushels of sugar beets (for cattle), 300 heads of cauliflower, and 2 tons of pumpkins.The dairy prod- ucte were 6,500 pounds of butter, 1,460 quarts of cream, and 14,000 pounds of whole milk, and fat pige that were slaughtered produced 7,500 pounds of pork.The other products of the farm were 10 bushels of currants, 5 of pears and 5 of cherries.\u2018\u2018Canada Comes Out of Its Shell.\u201d \u201cCanada is coming out of its shell to the extent of granting free privilege of driving a motor vehicle across the line for a stay of 10 days in Canada, providing the customs officials are satisfied of the driver\u2019s \u2018\u2018good faith.\u201d Canada has been a heavy loser through more or less rigid euforce- ment of a policy which required the presentation of a bond by prospective visitors who drive motor vehicles.\u201d The above paragraph, inoluding the heading, is from the Barre, Vermont, Times.Talk of \u2018\u2018coming out of the shell\u201d\u2019 may sound a little harsh, possibly somewhat uncomplimentary to patriotic Canadians.That the remark is merited in view of the antiquate and absurd custome regulations cannot be denied by any intelligent being.The real patriot is not he who kiudly accepts the existing order, but he who seeing wrong does his little part to set it right.HATLEY.The Ladies Aid which met with Mrs.J.F.Woodman for dinner on Nov.17, was well attended in spite of the unfavorable weather and roads.Several gentlemen were present to enjoy the excellent baked-bean dinner served by the hostess.The afternoon was spent in social chat by the gentlemen, while the ladies accomplished a good deal of work.During the business meeting it was decided to send as usual a barrel of second-hand clothing to the Montreal miesion before Xmas.Will those wishing to contribute, kindly bring their articles to the vestry within the next two or three weeks ?Mise Rose Little will entertain the Aid at the next meeting, Deo.1st.Miss Mamie Koight who bas been

FAILURE?Every now and again we hear some hint that the present great world war evidences the failure of Christianity.It would seem more reasonable to argue that the war evidences the failure of the world to accept Christianity.The world is as yet only nominally Christian.So far it has failed altogether to comprehend the true meaning of Christianity.People are only outwardly Cbristian\u2014and the mere scratching of the surface reveals the barbarian instincts.The Germans were supposedly a very devout peo- ple\u2014but what has the scratching of the surface revealed there?The truth is, human nature remains much the same as it has been for centuries, and incidents of the present war will in future read much the sume as those historic events which, occurring centuries ago, bave caused the blood to curdle in our veins as we read of them.It will be unreasonable to contend that Christianity has failed so long as the world fails to accept or comprehend the true Christianity.If the greatest of all wars could result in some system of world control to secure future peace, it would be worth while.Perpetual peace can never be accomplished by the maintenance of great armies and preponderous navies.Certainly preparation for war would not seem to have secured that measure of peace which the advocates of preparednege promised.On the contrary Teutonic preparedness and aggression have plunged the world into the greatest conflict ever witnessed.And it must now be fought to a finish unlees future generations are to forever walk in bondage or carry the drawn sword.Possibly if an even balance of \u2018preparedness\u2019 could always be maintained, perpetual peace might be secured.But the balance is bound to be disturbed some time, and then the greater the measure of \u201cpreparedness\u2019\u2019 the greater will be the elanghter.Unless some system of world control can be devised, there will be just as horrible wars in the future as there have been in the past.And international control may, of course, be an idle dream.Certainly it can never be accomplished until Germany gets over its idea of conquering the world, and Germany will not get over this idea unless Prussian militarism meets more than ite match now.Let every British subject ask himeel(: What ie my duty?THE DOMINION WAR LOAN.In issuing its domestic war loan wmounting to $50,000,000, the Government pays a rate of interest of 5 per cent.per annum.The cost price of the bond is nominally 897.50 and the loan matures in 1925.Investors may subscribe to the loan on the instalment plan, payments spreading over six months, beginning January 3, under diecount at the rate of 4 per cent.per annum.At the end of June next the Government pays ite first half yearly dividend, so that when the whole subscription is paid up the actual cost is 97.50 less 1.20.As the loan is redeemable at 100 after 10 years, a further reduction of 8.70 is made, which represents .37 a year.Hence the actual cost to subscribers is 86.93.As this bears 5 per cent.,interest, the yield works out at 5.21 per cent.United States interests are seeking investment in the loan.Centenary Methodist Church.Services at 10.30

body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, if any good.To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with tlie oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building-tonic, free from any harmful drugs.Try it.Scott & Bowne, Toronto, Ont.LIQUOR TRADE IN BRITAIN.Growing Demand for Suppression of Traffic During War at Least.That the temperance question is becoming a live issue in Great Britain is shown by articles appearing in The Spectator (London) from time \u2018to time.In the issue December 6th the following communication appears: \u201cI have read with great interest, in your issue of October 23rd, a letter by Mr.J.T.Rhys regarding the action of the Good Templars in their refusal to advocate the State purchase of the liquor trafic.Mr.Rhys is personally in favor of prohibition, bat is anxious for State purchase on the ground that prohibition is not within the range of practical politics.As matters stand at present, I am afraid the same argument can be used against State purchase.May I as interested in the subject, state that a very considerable number of men of all shades of religious and polidcal opinion are united in thinking that prohibition, or the prohibition of distilled liquore, during the war is the only efficacious solation of the drink problem?\u2018The following Churches and representative bodies have adopted reso- lations in support of prohibition during the period of the war: The General Assemblies of the Church of Scotland, of the United Free Church of Scotland, and of the Free Ohurch of Scotland; the Baptist Union of Scot- Isnd; the Brotherhoods, representing 600,000 members.The Glasgow Town Council, Parish Council, and School Board have all adopted resolutions in favor of prohibition.Besides these there were organized within a week, in eight cities in Scotland, public | demonstrations in eupport of that | policy.Iu all cases the balls were icrowded and the resolutions unanimously adopted.At a meeting of 800 delegates, representing 400,000 members, of the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society, and at a meeting of 680 delegates, representing 207,000 members, of the United Cooperative Baking Society, resolutions in favor of entire prohibition were adopted, showing which side the working classes are on.Then the employees of labor signed a memorial tu the Government in support of the prohibition of distilled liquors during the period of war, so that it may be said that Scotland was solid in favor of that policy.\u201cWhile to many people the State purchase or control of the liquor traffic seems a measure which would meet the needs of the movement, there is one fact which has to be reckoned with\u2014I mean the drink habit.No one, in Scotland at least, who bae had much to do with life in the poorer quarters of the great cities, can ignore the fact that the drink habit cannot be eradicated from the people by any half-measures; only compulsory abstention could do that.It this habit only affected the individual, it might not be so serious; but taking the facts as we find them, it is little short of suicidal to the future of the race to perpetuate the sale of liquor whether by State or private control.The Reports of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and of the various Societies of Infantile Health Visitors give cause for deep alarm and anxiety in their statistics of child neglect and starvation.Drinking among women is, to all appearances, increasing since the beginning of the war, and the nation can ill afford to neglect the adoption of any measure, however drastic, if the efficiency of the future generation is at stake.\u2014I am, Sir, &c., AGATHA NOEL PATON, 4 University Gardens, Glasgow.In this time of stress when the balance of exchange has been in favor of New York, and when Britain has been to bolster it up by enormous gold shipments, loans and the sale of securities, it is interesting to note that for some days past the balance of exchange between New York and Canadian centers has been in favor of Canada.The balance amounted to 1-32 to 1-16, and necessitated the export of a quarter of a million dollars of gold from New York to Canada.Further movements of the precious metal this way are promised.Canada has been shipping enormous quantities of wheat for export and drawing on New York.SPECIAL SHEEP PRIZES.Dr.J.C.Colby, who is interested in the sheep industry of the country, and who keeps a flock of registered and grade Hampshire Downe, has offered a special for the County Fair

advisory president, the Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair, and the appeal is being communicated to the local councils.The appeal, as made by the Italian committee, reads as follows: \u201cThe painful experience of other nations at war teaches us that among troops engaged at high altitudes, serious and often irreparable Injury has been caused by [frost bite.In order to rednce as far as possible such suf- tering and mutilation we must provide those of our soldiers most exposed to the risk of frost bite with fur, even of rough description.\u2018The most easily adapted and suitable would naturally be such skins as sheep skins, goat skin, lamb skin, ete, but us for obvious reasons the supply of these cannot be counted upon, the next best ie to have an ample supply of skins such as rabbit skins, cat or are skins which can be utilized to upersede them.\u201cMany persons migbt concur helpfully now in the work by giving old furs for which they have no use, chauffeur\u2019s coats, motor coats, skin rugs, floor, travelling or carriage rugs, or fure of any sort, which, rapidly adapted or transformed to a military regulation model, could be gent off at once to the front.Let all, then, who have any suitable fure which they can do without, make ita sacred duty to give them with that large-hearted generosity which knows po limit.\u201cThis winter no woman could be so egotistically callous as to place her feet on a warm, soft skin rug, no man could go on keeping an extra fur cogt, or one which is \u2018out otf date,\u201d if they think of the ice-laden blizzards beating on the soldier-brother up there fighting above the snow line.\u201cAll, fashionable women, millionaires, shopkeepers, even the humble shepherd, all, all who have the disposal of a fur coat, or a rug, or piece of fur which is not absolutely indispensable, send it with a liberal heart.\u201cAll those who have not the chance to offer themselves for the defence of their country, but who with heart and hand help their brothers at the front, and remove their drawbacks and suf- feringe, may not only enjoy the rest- giving satisfaction of a duty fulfilled but on the longed-for day of victory, they, too, will know the personal joy and the secret pride of having, ae it were, by their incessant loving care and sympathetic renunction, helped to fight, and win, side by side with the heroes and the martyrs who fought and won for ua, \u201cSigned by the president of the Central Committee of Aid for the Troops on Active Service.\u201d \u201cDR.LUIGI VERRATTI.\u201d ENDORSED IN HIGH QUARTERS.From the comptroller of the household, Government House, Ottawa, the following letter has been received: \u201cI am directed by H.R.H.the Duchess of Copnaught to say that she thoroughly approves of the scheme to send furs to the Italian soldiers who are already suffering from the intense cold in the mountain ranges.The Duchess presumes that you will address a letter to all the branches of the National Council of Women of Canada.Her Royal Highness hopes that you will say that Lady Aberdeen\u2019s appeal will bave heartfelt support.The Duchess will donate some furs through the Ottawa branch.\u201d His Grace Archbishop Bruchesi has recommended this object to his people inthe following worde: \u201cThe present appeal has my entire sympathy, and I ask the parish priests to be good enough to bring it to the attention of their parishioners.\u201d Through the kindness of Mr.A.F.Grafton, 227 Notre Dame Street West, Montreal, donations may be sent to his store.A committee of ladies, under the convenership of Mrs.Theodore Labatt, Mme.F.L.Betque, Mrs.A.R.Doble and Mrs.W.GQ.Mac- naughton, will be in charge each day from 10 to 4 o\u2019clock to receive furs.WOMAN'S READING

gave a beautiful introduction to the pleasures of the afternoon in a double piano number, exquisitely rendered, and in response to a real encore, added a third selection, At the close of the program Mies Smith and Mise Alger with violin and Miss Caswell with plano gave another musical number very much enjoyed.A very sincere rising vote of thanks was tendered Mrs.Wells at the close of her talk,

to the house of correction for not more than 12 months, but on condition that he pay the fine and costs which amounted to $22.70 the court agreed to place the respondent in the custody of the

citizens of the Three Villages may count themselves fortunate in having an opportunity of hearing him.While bis subject has not yet been announced it may be fairly presumed that it will have something to do with social betterment.Some striking statements appear in the reports of one of Mr.Woodsworths recent speeches in Montreal.Here is one: \u201cIn Montreal there are three \u2018watertight compartments,\u2019 French, English and Jewish.The religious life of every community is, in reality, its moat dividing eiement, though why this need be true is not clear.If we cannot pray together, lot us work together.\u201d \u2019 .Continuing Mr, Woodsworth said: \u2018Canada has no social life.It needs a common meeting ground for its citizens.Almost any load in & community can be lifted if people work together, irrespective of denominational, social, business or party affiliations.By meeting on a common ground no one loses his peculiar preference for anything else, but, on the contrary, becomes better in his religion, his politica, his citizenship, because he has become big enough to get the other man\u2019s point of view and come out of his narrow sphere.Diversity means unity.\u201d

named De Rocher, occupying fifty acres at Big Bear Lake, is giving a good illustration of how to manage a small farm for profit.Mr.and Mrs, De Rocher at first depended on bush fruits and vegetables for their living while bringing on an orchard of apples, pears and plums.Their main income now is from the larger fruits, which are sold mostly to private customers.They keep little live stock or poultry because their taste runs to growing and handling fruits, Much of their product is canned, and by this means they are able to obtain retail prices.The most unique feature of their farming enterprise is the business which bas been built up in fadcy canned fruit.This is where Mrs.De Rocher wields the power.She has studied her fruits and her market and carries the information in her mind ready to use at all times.A particular phase of her work has been to determine which varieties of fruit give best results In supplylng a family trade.She has decided that no other kind of strawberry will bold its color so \u2018well or make such excellent preserves as the Warfield and the Senator Dunlap.These are similar varieties, but the Dunlap has a perfect blossom, while NC 0e DEODP® THE ORCHARD HELPS OUT.the Warfield needs fertilization from some other variety.For tbat reason the Dualap is perbaps a little more favored, even though the Warfield bas à slight advantage as a canning variety.The De Rochers make a speclaity of grape juice, and they use tons and tons of Concord grapes to make juice to supply their trade.Their finished product is as clear as crystal and of most delicious quality.They have a special way of making their grape juice and their jellies, They do not make the juice or jelly entirely at canning time, but just extract the juice from the fruit, heat and seal it in jugs or jars, When it comes to the time of shipment they siphon tbe juice out and then add the sugar, heat and bottle for customers.This method has many advantages, and Mrs.De Rocher considers it one of the greatest helps to successful work.It saves considerable labor in rush times when they receive the fruit, and also, by siphoning, just the clear juice 18 drawn off and all of -the settlings are left in the jug.This insures a very clear product of grape Juice and jellies.All of the canning products of this farm are put up in glass.The preserves, marmalades and canned goods are put up tn pints and seven ounce sealed jars.Strawberry, plum and peach preserves are also put up in four ounce jars, commohly called individuals, and are put up for the dining car trade.When customers are served with either of these products in the dining car they get them In the original package, which is not opened until it gets to the table, The jellies are put up in eight ounce screw top jars, and the grape juice is put up in pint and quart bottles with the metal top cork, Their trade for these canned products consists of railroad dining cars, fashionable clubs and restaurants of Chicago and numerous wealthy fam- {lifes in Chicago and elsewhere.Some of these families have standing yearly orders.All of the products are sold before they are made.Mr.De Rocher goes to the regular customers in the spring and takes thelr orders for the season.After the canning business opens they take no orders, and the canning is done just to fill the orders they have on band.Shipping is attended to as customers require the goods, so that some of the product is golug forward all winter.« The annual profits at this farm are up in the thousands of dollars, for the orchard is now bearing, and there is a large output of apples, pears and plums to be added to the berries and garden truck.By the system in force for handling fruit there is little waste.Stock that is not marketed when picked is saved by preserving and canning methods, It is seldom that a farm family has as large an income as the De Rochers enjoy, and if they cared to go more extensively into gardening they could double the earnings of their Lid tle place.with no sugar or anytbing else added.FREAK BASEBALL PLAYS.eres A Tin Can Throw and the Shortest Two Bagger on Record.Freak plays make baseball humor ous if not interesting.Some of these plays are said to be the result of quick thinking, but as a matter of fact most of them are simply luck, says Arthur Macdonald in\u2019 the Physical Education Review.Curious things happen.A ball fell into a tin can, and, it being impossible to get it out in time, can and all were thrown to the baseman, Another ball hit the end of a nall driven through the opposite side of a fence and could not be got down until all the runners scored.A swift hit glances off the pitcher's hand, is snapped up by an infielder and thrown to first, putting the man out, Redhot liners or grounders sometimes bit the first or third base bag and giance away for singles or even two baggers.: The shortest two bagger known was when the ball grazed the bat, shot up a few feet and fell in front of the plate.As the catcher reached for the whirling ball it glanced from his glove and bounded back to the stand.and the batter made second easily.A center fielder saw a mitt in the way of the shortstop and walked about sixty feet in to move it out of the way, when ho heard the crack of the bat and saw a hot ball coming straight at him, He could do nothing but try to catch it and did, to his surprise.But he was given credit by the crowd for being a great student of batters.THE VOICE AND THE STAGE.Being a Good Elocutionist Does Not Make a Good Actor.Of all the things to eschew, elocution schools stand first.Actors should know nothing of the rules of elocution -| as taught in any school of which I have ever heard.I can always tell at the first glance whether an actor is a student of elocution.No good elocutionist was ever a good actor.That is, no good reciter\u2014and elocution schools produce only reciters\u2014is ever a good actor.Reciting and acting are two entirely different arts.The reciter is never natural, never can be.Awhile ago one of the most distinguished professors of elocution in America\u2014he had the chair of elocution at one of our biggest uni- versities\u2014came to be an actor.thought that he would be something wonderful because of his knowledge and gift of elocution He went back to teaching.He could do that better than most, but his acting was bad, All the rules of elocution an actor ever needs can be obtained in singing les sons.Now, proper enunciation of words is a different matter.An actor should not have to be taught that, but if he does need it it is a pretty bad need, and he should never rest until he has lost all slovenly habits.Some of my friends think I am too severe on this point.I am not.One cannot be too severe.It is clean cut work, perfect in its smallest details, that makes for perfect iNMusion on the stage, and I am always for such work.\u2014Henrietts Crosman in Century.A Tragic Wedding Ring.A tragic story of a forgotten wed- ; ding ring is told in the \u201cLives of the Lindsays.\u201d He should have been at church when Colin Lindsay, the young Earl of Balcarras, was quietly eating his breakfast In nightgown and slippers.Reminded that Mauritia of Nassau was waiting for him at the altar, be hurried to church, but forgot the ring.A friend present gave him one, which he, without looking at, placed on the bride's finger.After the ceremony was over the countess glance ed at her hand and beheld a grinning death's heed on her ring.She fainted away, and the omen made such an impression on Ler that on recover ing she declared she was destined to die within a year, a presentment that probably brought about its own fulfillment, for in a few months the care less Colin was a widower.Both of One Mind.Mrs.Stormyweather, who had been engaged in a somewhat prolonged and heated dialogue with her husband, beat a dignified retreat so soon as she found she was getting the worst of the argument and turned her attention to culinary matters as à balm for her ruffied soul - \u201cJane,\u201d she said, \u201cI want you to put on your things at once and go out and soe if you can

Nature.It is an amazing monument to the despotiamn of the czars that Petrograd has flourished, as it was built, in de- flunce of the laws of trude and of ns- ture herself.As a port it fs Immeas urably inferior to Riga, which has a much longer open season, for Petro- grad is icebound from early November to the end of April.As a building site it has been repeatedly and disastrously flooded by the Neva.The highest elevation within the bounds of the city is less than fifteen feet above sea level, and the cellars have to be baled out nearly every spring when the ice melts and the wind blows.And the rigorous climate constantly gnaws at walls and columns until the city has been twice and thrice rebuilt by the czars.Many of the most imposing structures are held together only by means of iron clamps, and the buge bowlder on which Peter rides his bronze horse is ever crumbling away.The stones of the streets are continually sinking below the level, and the great Cathedral of St Isaac never ceases to settle on a foundation in which nearly $1,000,000 was sunk.No less than six tiers of plles were driven for the beautiful column of Alexander I, yet tbat eighty foot monolith, the tallest and largest in Europe, has to be clamped in iron.As a dwelling place Petrograd remains the most fatal of any great city | in the civilized world, with a mortall- ty of twenty-eight to each 1,000 of population, and within ten years ita death rate actually exceeded its birth rate.\u2014 Argonaut.SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.It Takes Five Minutes For the Best of Them to Get Under.Submarines are not easy to handle and it takes considerable skill and daring to navigate them successfully.Many people have the idea that as soon as a submarine seer an enemy, the officer in command gives a sharp order, and almost before it has left his lips the submarine is diving beneath the waves.As a matter of fact the very latest submarines take a clear five minutes before they can become submerged.Many of the older submarines took ten minutes to a quarter of an hour to sink.The reason that a submarine cannot dive quickly, like a fish, is because the water which must be let into her tanks to make her heavy enough to sink, must be let in comparatively slowly.If it were let in with a rush the chances are the vessel would not go down on an even keel, but would heel over and be in great danger of disaster.If water, too, were let in too quickly there is a danger of letting in too much and in that case the submarine would sink like a stone to the bottom of the sea.The depth at which a submarine travels under the sea is regulated by horizontal rudders.The water that is let in the ballast tanks is just sufficient to \u201cbalance\u201d the vessel in \u201cthe sea without rising or sinking.\u2014London Spectator.An Effective Question.While Henry Clay was a senator a resolution, in accordance with a sometime custom, was introduced into the Kentucky house of representatives instructing the senators from that state to vote in favor of a certain bill then pending in congress.The resolution was in the act-of passing without opposition when a hitherto silent member from one of the mountain counties, springing to his feet, exclaimed, \u201cMr.Speaker, am I to understand that this legislature is undertaking to tell Henry Clay how to vote?\u2019 The speaker answered that such was the purport of the resolution, at which the member from the mountains, throwing up his arms, exclaimed, \u201cGreat heaven!\u201d and sank into his seat.It is needless to add that the resolution was immediately rejected by unanimous vote.Why She Wasn't Thers.An agent approaching a house met à ttle boy at the gate and asked: : \u201cIs your mother home?\u201d \u201cYes, sir,\u201d said the boy politely.The agent

LEOTURE TRAIN.Better Farming Propaganda » Has Proven a Great Success.The better farming trains operated over the lines of the railways in the Prairie Provinces, appear to be meeting with a considerable measure of success and provincial agricultural authorities are convinced that the work so carried on will result in the spread of better agricultural practices throughout the country.When such a lecture train completed its itinerary over the lines of the Canadian Northern in Saskatchewan recently, a compilation of statistics showed that, in all, 10,464 persons had boarded the cars at the various stopping places, thirty-four in number, and that of this total approximately forty-five hundred were men, thirty-five hundred women, and the remainder children.The weather was unfavorable most of the time.At some of the points when lectures were given, rain fell continually and a great many people were unable to attend on account of the conditions of the roads.The Saskatchewan Government representatives expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the attention given the train under the circumstances.The \u201cCrop Production Car\u201d contained samples, mounted, of flax, oats, alfalfa, western rye grass, wheat, millet, peas, barley, brouse grass and clover.There were also fllustrations of alfalfa in rows; of alfalfa seed cutting; alfalfa for seed; classes of barley; sample of corn; classes of wheat.There also were descriptive charts illustrative of experiments of cropping fallowed land during a dry year as early as against late fall cultivation; effect of harrowing on yield of wheat yields on stubble land; alfalfa for forage and seed; influence of tillage on 1914 wheat yields; rates of seeding concerning heavy and light seeding in wet and dry seasons; effect of packing for second crop of wheat; effect of harrowing on fall-cultivated land, and charts showing relative increase in production under different soil cultivation.The Model Farm car, contained section of barn showing method of bracing; sheep harn; cow stall; pig pen; split los drag; fence; homemade cattle stanchion; photos of alk kinds of stock and mountings of soil products, This car also contained the poultry section, showing model of portable poultry house; photographs of the different kinds of fcwls; Saskatchewan trap nest; fattening crate; feed hopper for use on range; oats sprouter; hen coop; Cornell trap nest; result of experiments showing the effect of water glass and lime water on egg preservation; complete surgical outfit for operating on fowls.and sample of proper food for fowls.In addition, the literature was in this.car, and printed matter pertaining to.agriculture was freely distributed.The Nursery Car was equipped: with sand boxes, toys, and made up beds.This car was also a valuable addition to the train; mothers were- able to leave their children in the car and attend lectures without the usual annoyance.The lectures usually required three hours in each town, and longer in some cases, owing to the late arrival of some of the visitors.The- usual procedure was to keep the car closed for a few minutes after arrival, and until the people bad gathered, when the cars would be opened.and the audience distributed.Mr.Reed was generally the first speaker and lectured on the crop production.and other points of field husbandry, followed by Prof.Bracken, who dealt.with soil cultivation.Mr.Mooney lectured on the eradication of obnox- fous weeds.The Hon, Mr.Mother- well dealt with general farming conditions.Mr.Stewart spoke on stock-

century read Iudian stories of what may now be called the easterly west.The main avenue to the conquest of this same region, later called the middle west, was through the Ohig valley and the tributaries of that stream.The stories these boys read were not the fictitious tales thelr chil dren or grandchildren perused in the latter part of the same century of the red man of the \u201cplains\u201d or the Rocky mountains, but rea! happenings to plo- neers passing down \u201cLa belle riviere,\u201d as the early French settlers called the Ohio river, to open up what became Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and other ter ritory in that region.As soon as the Revolutionary war ended the tide of emigration to these states commenced.From Pittsburgb to its confluence with the Mississippi the Ohio was dotted with the flatboat of the period.Hostile Indiaus infested the Obio val ley and were fertile in stratagem, as all red men have always been.When they took prisoners they would compel them to act as decoys to emigrants on the flatboats.There were also renegade whites who served the sane purpose.These whites would hail a flat boat and beg the emigrants to take them aboard, saying that they had been captured by Indians and escaped.As soon as the boat came into the buck- waters on the shore, where it could only with difficulty be brouglit again into the current, it would be attacked by Indians who had beer concealed on the shore.In time this strategem became known to the whites, and they would refuse to listen to the decoy\u2019s pleading.Yet there were times when the pleader was sincere and was denied rescue.Other devices were resorted to by the Indians to lure the flatboatmen to the shore that they might be murdered and plundered.Game was plentiful in the forests, and the red men would imitate the sounds made by animals or birds.The wild turkey, which was obtainable in America till the middle or latter part of the nineteenth century, was a coveted meat by these pioneers, and often when the gobble was heard the boat would be steered to shore and a hunting party sent for the birds.In 1788 Henry Crist and Solomon Spears, engaged in obtaining salt from the Kentucky licks, with a party of thirteen whites, including one woman, left Louisville and floated down the Ohio till they reached the mouth of Salt river, which they ascended by the backwater.Scouts were sent ashore on the near bank of Salt river while the boat moved slowly onward.On the morning of the second day of this ascent the boat was landed and preparations were made for breakfast.The gobbling of the wild turkey was heard in the woods, and two of the crew went ashore with their guns to secure a bird or two for the meal.Now, these persons had seen indications of the presence of Indians and knew that the gobbling of the turkey was 8 common decoy with them.But not stopping to deliberate they fell into the trap.Scarcely had they reached the shore when more than a hundred Indians sprang forward.Whoever has seen an Indian painted for war, hig features made savage by the colored lines drawn upon them, can imagine the terror inspired by the attack.Few persons now living have seen this sight, but those who have cannot understand bow white men during the early history of America could take their wives and little children, too, to make homes in a country where they were liable at any moment to be murdered.Of the fiatboat party two were on shore, the rest still on the boat, which had been fastened to a tree by means of a chain that had been carried around the trunk and a hook on the end inserted in à link.The object of the Indians being to secure the emigrants, the boat and its cargo, they made a furious attack upon the whole party.Every man sprang to his gun, and since in all there were a dozen guns the Indians, who never wasted life in thelr encounters if they could help it, retired behind the trees on the bank.The.commenced a steady fire on the boat.The Indiuns were protected by the trees, and the return fire from the whites availed little or nothing.Besides the advantage of hiding behind trees, the savages were on higher ground.Now one and now another of the pioneers fell, but such was the necessity for every man to stand by his rifie that the killed wero not heeded and the wounded were left to take care of themselves.Unfortunately for the whites the boat lay with its bow to the shore, and the salt kettles had been placed along the sides, leaving an open space through which the Indians sent a destructive fire The water underneath the boat was deép enough to float her, and it was desirable to disengage the boat from the shore, in which event she would fioat out Into the current and beyond the reach of the Indians\u2019 bullets.But if any one went ashore to anhouk the chaln he would be dropped miuediately.Meanwhile the indians were picking )T the men oue by une.Every time they dropped a nan there arose a rideous yell that, with the loss of thelr :ompanion and the prospect of death \u2018or themselves, froze the blood in the Jivneers\u2019 veius.Efforts would bave seen made to turn the bout 80 that hey would get tie protection of the sait ketties, but any man who attempt.sd to Use an var for tbe purpose must stand up to be shot down.Solomon Spears aud several others were killed, aud ft lovked ay if the whole party would fall before the red nen.A man named !\u2018osset, one of the :wo who had goue ashore, had suffered à broken arm from a bullet, but bad retreated to the bout.Not belng able to hold a rifle, he busied himself by trying to loose the chain.Taking a pole, he lay low in tbe bow and en- Jeavored to force the hook out of the ink with the poles end.but he only Irove it inward.Finally with a short projection caused by the cutting of a branch from the pole he succeeded in removing the hook from the Hpk.What must have been the feelings of those who yet lived on the boat to see the chain unwound from the tree and rattle down the bank Into the water! Would the eddy have sufficient force to carry the boat out into the current?Would the chain retard her sufficiently to prevent ber moving?One of the men sprang to an oar which he could work overhead without exposing himself to the enemy's fire and succeeded in working the boat out into the current, For the first time since the fight began an hour before those who lived could spare a moment to count the dead and wounded.Five of the party were killed outright and four wounded.Solomon Spears was mortally wounded.He urged the survivors to pull the boat to the opposite side of the river and fiee for their lives.But the current carried them to a position farther downgiream where they would again Le within range of the Indians\u2019 rifles.Running down the bank, yelling as only savages could yell, they again attacked the whites.Two of the men who had been spared to fight, Crepps and Crist, each seizing a rifle, nscended the bank.The Indians fired a volley at them and fell back into a ravine, putting a bullet into Crepps\u2019 side and crushing Crist\u2019s heel, Another man who had followed the two into the fight returned to the boat and reported that he had left his com- panjons on the shore powerless to get away.Taking advantage of the retirement of the Indians, the few remaining aboard the boat pulled her again out into the middle of the river.With the boat full of dead and wounded, with unly one or two able to man the oars, the chance of escape was still small.But fortunately they were in the current, and the Indians, either satisfied with their work or not caring further to expose themselves, permitted them to drift away, and they reached a point of safety.The settlers, having been roused by the story of the massacre, went at once to the scene of the final encounter to rescue the two men who had fallen.Crepps was found to be mortally wounded.He was brought away, but died during his removal.Crist\u2019s efforts to save himself were thrilling.Not being able to touch his wounded heel to the ground, he crawled into a thicket; but, realizing that the Indians would find him there, he took off his moccasins, bound them to his knees and started to crawl eight miles to a salt lick.For three days he had not tasted food.Weakened by hunger, suffering excruciating pain from his shattered heel, his progress was necessarily very slow, being not more than balf & mile an hour.One night\u2014it was the secondeafter he commenced his tortoise journey\u2014 while lying near a trail be heard the sound of horse\u2019s hoofs.He called for help, whereupon the sounds were heard going away from him.This was naturally a bitter disappointment.Crist lay where he was, intending to resume his journey in the morning, hop- {ug against hope that he would retain the strength to finish it.The borseman who had passed, hear- Ing a voice id the wood, either from fear of an enemy or superstition hurried on and, riding to a settlement, reported his experience.The settlers, realizing that some white man might be needing assistance, formed a posse and rode out to where the voice was heard.There they found Crist ex- bausted and brought him in.The story of the Woman of the party is given in a few words, and yet it must have been a long and harrowing one.She was carried to Canada and ransomed by a trader.In this sentence her story is summarized.What she suffered during that long journey of hundreds of miles and how her captors treated her are among the dread stories of that thrilling period.\u201cTaken to Canada and ransemed by a trader\u2019\u2014 there is scarcely enough of it for an epitaph on a tombstone.And yet who knows but that in some old trunk, in a dingy garret, a yellow manuscript lles hidden which now and again through successive generations some descendant of that woman may take out, peruse and put back to be read later op by some other of her progeny?If in the story of these flathoatmen we are impressed with their hardi hood one other item arrests our atten: tion.It is that twelve white men and one white woman defended themselves against 120 Indians for an hour, the enemy being above them on the bank and protected by trees, and that the whites succeeded in loosening their bont and pnlling ft out into the stream.Later these same Indians, or a large part of them, were put tu flight by two white mea._contalus electricity.THUNDERSTORMS.Simple Scientific Explanation of How They Occur.ELECTRICITY IN THE CLOUWS.The Processes by Which the Masses of Unequally Charged Vapor Are United, the Lightning Flashes Generated and the Downpour Started.Lightning is the result of electric discharges from the clouds, says the Electrical Experimenter in printing what it calls \u201ca thuuderstorm primer.\u201d Every cloud, like every other object, This makes no disturbance so long as the quantity contained is normal When the quantity becomes greater than normal the object is positively charged; when It becomes less than normal the object is negatively charged.The equilibrium of the electric force in the clouds is disturbed by evaporations from the surface of the earth, by changes of temperature In the atmospheric vapor, by chemical action on the earth's surface and by the friction of volumes of alr of different densities against each other.When clouds charged with the opposite electricities approach, the forces rush toward each other and combine to restore thq state of equilibrium, for all bodies charged with opposite electrici- ties attract each other.Between the clouds ls air, an excellent nonconductor, through which the electricity has to force a passage.The violence with which it does this produces the lightning and the accompanying crash of thunder.Clouds are good conductors, while the air about.them is a nonconductor; therefore the electricity nccumulates in the clouds.It is probably this elec- triclty which prevents the particles of water from uniting together and falling down in the form of rain.Imagine two clouds near to each other in the sky, one positively and the other negatively electrified, for there cannot in all nature be such a condition as that of one body positively excited without the coexistence of another body negatively excited.If the positively charged cloud were all alone in the sky the circumjacent atmosphere would assume the negative fune- tion.But as the otber cloud is near by it becomes negative, and both are mutually attracted.They approach each other until the space of alr between them can no longer resist their electric tension, when the discharge takes place.The equilibrium of the clouds being thus restored, there is nothing to keep the particles of water apart; they coalesce into drops and fall ag rain.\u2018When only the clouds are involved the equilibrium is quickly restored by R few flashes and the storm is over.When the air also is involved it continues to charge the clouds with electricity, and the discharges continue un- tl the various strata of air are brought into their normal state.Sometimes, when the clouds are charged with an opposite electricity to that of the earth, a discharge takes place from clouds to earth or from earth to clouds.It is only when there Is a great disturbance of the electrical forces that the lightning flashes to the sarth or vice versa.The flash and the thunder peal are simultaneous, and we see the one before we hear the other because light waves move fur more swiftly than sound waves.The peal of thunder is instantaneous, but comes to us as a voll through being echoed from clouds or mountains.The noise is caused by the vibrations of the air rushing to fill ap the spaces where the electrical discharge has rarefied it and condensed its vapors.Lightning is zigzag when it travels through a long distance.because it compresses the air, -which {interferes with its direct course.It is straight when it passes through only a short distance.It is forked when.being re visted by the air, it divides into two or three points.It is sheet when the flash is too distant to be visible, and its refection alone is seen.By remembering that sound travels a quarter of a wile in a second, while light travels so swiftly that we see it instantaneously, we can tell how far off a thunder clap is.If we hear a thunder clap four seconds after seeing the Mish we know it is a mile away.For such calculations our own pulse is 1 sufficiently accurate measure of time, for the pulse of an adult beats about once a second.A person under forty should count five beats to the mile; a person under twenty should count six beats to the mile.A Rough Criticism.Lord Houghton's epigram on \u201cSor dello,\u201d probably the most obscure of Browning's poems, though it bas often gone the rounds, is worth recalling.Said Lord Houghton, then only Dicky Milnes, \u2018There are but two lines In \u2018S8ordello\u2019 I can understand\u2014the

PORCHES.Privacy a Desirability When Constructing Piazzas, Balconies or Looocias.A roof can De converted Into a very satisfactory porch floor by cavering and leveling It with wooden slats that allow natural drainage, und there need be no permanent wooden roofs for such a retreat when awuoings and canvas curtains can be wade to answer the purpose of protection quite as effectively.Is there anything more rest.' ful or more delightful than to be thus sheltered from the dust and bustle of streets?Is there anything more desirable than the security of such a re treat?Indeed, a balcony, loggia or vergnds need not be limited to the homes of the wealthy, for it can easily be brought within the scope of limited incomes and talents.The barest and bleakest of porches can be made an interesting spot\u2014one that is essentially livable\u2014 with the help of awnings and screens, a few comfortable chairs, a swinging couch or hammock and, above all, a few flowers and vines.Flowers and green things are to a porch what an open fireplace 18 to a room.They form a nucleus, a charming center, around which the other things naturally group themselves, * JAPANESE SCREEN.Black and Rose

at Btanstead College\u2014Few Male Pupils of Military Age.LIEUT.IRVINE GOING TO FRONT.A meeting of the executive committee of Stanstead College was held on Saturday afternoon.Besides local members of the board, Messrs.C.W.Cate and B.C.Howard of Sherbrooke and Clifford T.Oughtred of Marbleton, president of the Alumni Association, were present.The matter of contracts with the municipalities of Stanstead Plain and Rock Island came up upon recommendation of the Model School committee that rates for the year be fixed at 820 each for the firat thirty pupils and $10 each for all others.The committee was authorized to secure tbe most favorable contracts possible, for one year, having in mind, in the case of Stanstead, the very serious fire loss recently sustained by that village.Reports of the principal and registrar showed an attendance of 98 boarders, against 120 last year.The total regletration this year ls a very little above that of last year at this time, belog 278 against 272.The boarders are divided among different religions as follows: Methodists 65, Anglicans 16, Congregationalists 8, Roman Catholics 5, Universalists 2, Hebrews 2.A drop of one-third in the boarding department has left plenty of room in the buildings.That the decrease is due to the war seems fairly well proven by the fact that the drop is on the \u2018boys\u2019 side\u201d and that few Canadians of military age are in attendance.The following extracts from the principal\u2019s report is of interest: \u2018So far as we can tell, the students with us this year are free from vicious habits.The girls are a particularly fine group, fully up to the average in refinement, physical health and ability.\u201d It was announced that Lieut.E.C.Irvine, teacher of mathematics, had been accepted for military service, and the following resolution was passed: Resolved\u2014* That we express deep appreciation of the action of Lieut.E.O.Irvine in offering his services to his King and country in this time of critical need; that he be granted leave of absence for eix months, and that he be paid aeufficient amount to bring his military salary up to hie present income.\u201d It is understood that Lient.Irvine has been offered a commission in the 117th E.T.regiment which will pegin training at Sherbrooke about January 1st.Other members of the present staff will unnertake to do Lieut.Irvine\u2019s work in his absence.Mr.C.T.Oughtret, speaking for the Alumni, said that a very creditable number of the 8.W.O.\u201cold boys\u201d were already at the front, and others were golng soon, the speaker being among the number.In the priocipal\u2019s report it was stated that O.R.Ford was in the trepohes and A.D.Carter\u2018 had been wounded with ehrapnel.The treasûrer reported that all interest and coupons due on endowment investments had been promptly paid.Gen.F.G.Butterfield was elected to the Model Schéol committee, succeeding James F.Telford, who has left the place, and Dr.J.C.Colby was elected in place of A.N.Thompson, the latter being a member of the board of school commissioners at Stanstead.Ducks carry oil in a little pooket With this they oil their outer

lacks the special flavors imparted by the various substances used in vinegar production.The process of vinegar-making is, in brief, the conversion of alcohol into acetic acid.Vinegar can be made from distilled spirits diluted to the required pitch for the fermentation that effects the required change.The practice has long been established of designating this product \u2018white wine vinegar.\u201d The latest analysis shows that 47 out of 70 malt vinegars and 22 out of 28 cider vinegars were true to name, but that 41 out of 47 sold as white wine vinegars were not wine vinegars at all.It is not the policy of the department to prosecute infractions of the law which do not result in injury to health until a year has elapsed after the publication of statement showing the prevalence of improper labeling.The notification has gone forth that in future vinegar must be named and represented in accordance with the substances from which it is produced.e Timber in British Columbia.An interesting instance of the extent to which the timber resources of the Province of British Columbia have been under-estimated is given in reports recently submitted to the Honorable W.R.Ross.Cruisers lately returned from an examination of the valleys of the Elk, Salmon, White, and Gold Rivers on Vancouver Island came across qne hundred thousand acres of unalienated Crown timber, with an average stand of fifteen thousand feet to the acre, representing a total of one and a half billion feet.This timber is readily accessible; in fact, the grades which exist in these valleys render it possible to bring logs across the island from Nootka to Salmon River, crossing the surveys of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern railways.Wheeler Wins Again, Saskatchewan farmers won both drst and second prizes

LOCOMOTIVE.Wily Old Li Hung Chang's Rebuke That Was Linked With a Wink.There is u curious story concerning the first locomotive ever seen in China.Li Hung Chang wus given permission to construct a rullway from the sea to his mines upon the condition that steam power should not be used, and for several months tbe cars were hauled by mules.- Then Mr.Kinder and some of the foreign machinists secretly construct ed a locomotive out of such material as they could find in China.It was a rude affair, and it was never able to make more than tive or six miles an hour, but it was a great advantage over the mule teams, for it could haul seven or eight cars of coal at that speed, where it took four mules to haul one.But when the mandarins at Pekin learned that foreign devils were using a fire eating monster on the railway they iminediately made a tremendous fuss about it And called L\\ Hung Chang to account for violating hls concession.The old gentleman took it very coolly and pretended not to know anything about it, but he afterward restored himself in favor by: issuing an order rebuking Mr.Kinder and his associates for their presumption and forbidding them to introduce any more new fan- gled foreign notions into China.Short ly after he secretly patted them on the back and raised their pay.The excitement quieted down and was soon forgotten.Then Mr, Kinder got up steam in his clumsy old engine again and was allowed to run it without Interference.Later a couple of regularly made locomotives were imported from Europe and have since been hauling the coal trains on that road.ELECTRIC SPARKING.Light on a Puzzle That Has Worried Many Car Owners.It is a sad and comnon experience to men in motorboats, automobiles, etc, to find that something is wrong with the spark.Often It is the case that when the spark plug is tuken out and tested in air it shows up all right, and will ignite gaseline poured around it, but when put back into position it will not work.This is a puzzle to a great many people today.The reason lies in the simple fact that the spark, when it takes place ip the cylinder, has to spark in compressed gas, and when in the air it doesn\u2019t.It is a well known scientific fact that the pressure of the gas determines how far a spark will jump under a given voltage.If the spark jumped a quarter inch in the open air and was placed in a vessel with most of the air pumped out, it would jump sgveral inches; and, on the other hand, if placed in compressed air it would not jump more than a fraction of the quarter inch.Of course the thing to do in the circumstances is to get mew batteries, and if so situated that that is impossible the two little terminals of the spark plug should be pushed closer together.Then the spark will pass in the compressed gas inside the cylinder.If explosion does not take place then the spark is probabiy so small that it 1s wholly immersed either in air or in the gasoline vapor, and to have an explosion it must be immersed in a mixture of the two.The carburetor should then be tinkered with.The probabil ities are that a part of the time explosions will take place and will be sufficient to keep up a forward motion at reduced speed.\u2014Chicago Herald.Literary Inspiration.It is enough to stun and scare anybody to have a hot thought come crashing into his brain and plowing up those parallel ruts where the wagon trains of common ideas were jogging along in thelr regular sequence of association.A lyric conception bits me like a bullet in the forehead.I have often bad the blood drop from my cheeks when it struck and felt that I turned as white as death.Then comes a creeping as of centipedes running down the spine, then a sudden flush and a beating in the vessels of the head, then a long sigh and the poem is written.\u2014Holmes, Sad Camels.It is a well established fact thay even young camels never play.They are born sad, and thereafter their life is one protest against being made to work, although work has been their portion since the beginning of the memoty of man.How largely they have been domesticated from the earliest times we know from the statement that Job possessed 0,000 camels.\u2014Lop- don Opinion.RER «Lu The Clock Was All Right.A man went into a clock store and handed out the pendulum of a clock, which he wished to leave for repairs.The
