otherwise the blooms will be strangled in attempting to get out of the bulbs.The hyacinth, paper white uarcissus and especially the Chinese sacred lily are frequently grown in water.Spe cin) glasses for these bulbs may be purchased in which they may be sue cessfully grown or tliey may be placed in any attractive dish and supported by pebbles.The wuter should be kept so that it touches the bottom ot the bulb.A TALY OF TWO MOTHERS, The Real Hardship of War Presses Upon the Ones at Home.\u201cDrawing us together\u2014yes.Thank God for that!\u2019 This time the sentiment is what is upholding a lonely Ontario mother.She keeps a city rooming-house.The rent all last summer was $38, lt is owned by un aging widow, and its income is her only support.Each time she came down to receive her money her insistance that she would have to raise the rent became greater.She wus not grasping, but increased taxes bad Lo be met some way; all the neighboring houses were bringing more, At length the tenant was successful in obtaining a promise that no change would be made if she did a lot of plastering, painting, and papering that the old house badly stood in need of.Her boy did the whole job\u2014a handy chap.He was in the 48th, and actually ran in for a day {rom Long Branch to do the dining-room and give the finishing touches.The contingent departed.Misfortunes did not come singly to the mother.Two of her roomers left.Then she offered to board the two left.Food is very high, there is not much money in that, but she met the next month's rent all right.Her other rooms stayed vacant.Onc of her boarders overturned a lamp, set fire to the curtains and bedding, and destroyed the paper and woodwork.The landlady came down, She had resuscitated her plea for higher rental, everybody was pushing her.shown the damage upstairs, she asked why the tenant could not get her son to fix it up.Then there were explanations.There were tears.At last, \u201cWell, I'll see what 1 can do:\u201d The tenant had been able to give but $25 of her rent, Nexi rent day the landlady was on hand promptly, and the tenant's heart was in her mouth throughout most of à long interview.Tlere was considerable reference to the great war, the mother remembers, and at last\u2019 ber landlady rose to go.\u201cWell, do you know whut my lawyer has at last advised me?\u201d she asked.\u201cTo give you this, and this,\u201d while from her satchel she produced two papers, handing them to ber tenant.They were receipts in full for $24 for the previous, and for the current, wenth's rent.\u201cAud perhaps, now, you ll be able to pay that for \u2018be winter.\u201d From the same receptacle presently issued a photograph \u2014 a smiling, young, erect form in soldier uniform.\u201chat was my son,\u201d explained the old lady, wiping away the tears.\u2018He was in the 90th of Winnipeg, and went through the Reil rebellion.Then be took typhoid a year later\u2014oh!\"\u2019 \u201cRent my room, ma, that will give yeu live dollars extra a week and you'll be as well off as ever,\u201d Such was the \u201clast word\u201d given by one of the chaps now at Salisbury Camp.His wother had been \u201cfraying along\" for some time before that, but although her son was out of work she had kept to herself th\" serious straits in realily she was in.\u201cAnd be good to Emmy-\u2014ask her up to tea often\u2014and give her any of my little things you think she would like.\u201d .That is how a widow finds herself most uncomfortably situated because of the war.Along in June, the son seemed assured of a new position he had just obtained after a disappointing experience in Winnipeg, and she had whole-heartedly agreed with her buy's eager determination to become engaged, \u201cEmmy\u201d was frequently a most welcome addition to the small family table.Then the bugles sounded, her son was laid off, and forthwith took up the drilling.Between the young lady's visits there are unpleasant, but very actual ponderings about auction sales and pawn-shops.How long she will be able to pull along, the widow does not know.At present, upon most of the evenings when she is alone, she takes her fancy work that she sells at a Yonge street store, up to ber lad\u2019s room.So far she has kept it her sanctuary.His things are on the dresser, the mantel, the table, Just as he left them.It is a front room, the best in the house.\u2018\u2018Rent my room, ma,\u201d often re-echoes in the widow's ears, but she keeps on with her stitching.Her future, like her boy, is \u2018on the way.\u201d FALL FERTILIZERS FOR LAWN, Applications Should Be Made After Frosts Have Come.LPrepared by United States department of agriculture.) To stimulate the growth of a lawn und to improve its appearance for the following spring no better treatment can be recommended than the application of properly rotted manure in the late fall, according to the United States department of agriculture\u2019s specialist.This application should wot be made until after the frosts bave stopped the | growth of the gruss.Ten to twenty- two horse loads should be applied to ° the acre, according as the soll is more or less rich.It is most important that the mgnure should be thoroughly rotted before application, so that all weed seeds are killed; otherwise damage done by weeds will more than offset the fer- tllizing value of tbe application.Ma- pure really needs careful handling before it is suited for spreading over the lawn.TUuless it 18 properly \u201ccomposted\u201d tt may bave most of its valuable constituents destroyed by improper bandling.To \u201ccompost\u201d manure properly it should be treated as follows: Pile all manure in beaps with alter aate layers of sod or other litter.Keep it wet enough so it will not burn.Let it stand a whole year through summer and winter, forking it over two or three times during the year.It will then be ready for use on the lawns, and danger from weed seeds will be minimized.Many people object to the use of manure at all, not only because of the danger from weed seeds, but because of its unsightly and insanitary appearance.These will undoubtedly pre fer to use something else, and the most economical substitute Is finely ground bone or bune meal.This should be applied at the rate of from 500 pounds to one ton per acre, according as the ground is more or less rich.It should cost between $25 and $30 a ton.With the bonemeal it 1s desirable to use double the quantity of wood ashes.These ashes contain considerable lime in a very desirable form, as well ns sther valuable elements.ITowerver, they are apt to be more or less costly.Ordinarily murinte of potash would be found more cconomical than wood ashes, although the potash does not contain the lime which the other fertilizer tmparts to the soil.On account of the European war the potash may prove more difficult to obtain than the wood ashes.Only one-tenth the quantity of potash should Le used as of bonemeal.The potush may be sown separately or mixed with the bonemeal, as desired.The same is true of wood ashes if tbese are used instead of potash, All applications should be made Lefore the ground freezes permanently for the winter, as otherwise the fertilizer may be largely waslied from the soil before it bas a chance to become incorporut- ed with it In regions where cottonseed meal may be obtained at a price not over 25 per ton it may be used satisfactorily in the place of the ground bone.Tankage and fish scraps are even richer in important elements than ground bone, but are frequently in Lad mme chanical condition for hatdling\u2014that is.tbey contain hair or other foreign coarse matter.Their bud odor also makes thew objectionable.Prepared sheep manure is an excellent dressing.As it has been sterilized by drying and rendered odorless, there are not the objections to it that there might be to ordinary manure, «It\u2019s one drawback is expensiveness.To Protect Worn Places.\u2014If there are any parts of the lawn which will be tramped over when they are uot frozen, and especially when snow is melting there, these parts should be protected to prevent persons from cutting across.Tramping on the turf when it is covered Ly slush or snow Is as destructive to a lawn as almost anything else.It is bardly necessary to say that nothing will be guined by scattering grass seed on the lawn at this season.Feed Box For Stock.A good large sized store box, Atted with a lid and basp, is very handy to have in the barn for holding ground feed.stock feed, etc.The hox can be filled up at stated intervals and will save many trips to the granary.If the box {s set where animuls may get to it should they happen to get loose it should be provided with good hinges and a hasp that cannot be eusily rubbed open.Tip the Raspberry Plants, The late fall is the time for tipping black raspberry plants if you want to raise new plants.As the new growth bends over the ground each tip should be buried in the soil a few inches and beld in place by piling up a little earth upon it Next spring tbe tips will have roots, when the plants can be cut off from the parent bushes and plant ed wherever they are wanted.\u2014 To Teach War History.The Ontario Education Department, believing that the present European war, Its causes and the reasons for Britain's share in it, should be fully grasped by the school children of the province, has decided to incorporate the study of it in the curriculum of the present school year.It will appear as part of the history course in the grades where it will be understood easily, and questions on it will be given in the promotion examinations.In this connection the Government is sending to each school a copy of the British diplomatic despatches issued at Ottawa.The circular issued suggests that generously disposed citizens as well as school boards sball under suitable conditions offer prizes for essays on one or more of the phages of the present struggle, art Stopned There.\u201cTH you hinve your sainry raised [nat Lene \u201cNa Bul thy

VIVID PICTURE, General on Trial Says He Could Not Fight Rebels In the Open Because of He Let His Soldiers Seat.ter They Would Desert\u2014Oflicers Would Be Shot Down by [Chr Own Men, A timely and gripping book, \u201cThe eal Mexico,\u201d has just been written by H.Hamilton Fyfe, the special correspondent for The london Times, A chapter devoted to the federalist army has a particular interest at this time.Among other things, Mr, Fyfe 4 \u201cTorreon, the prosperous centre of he cotton-growing district, was taken by the revolutionaries in September.After denying for a week that it had fallen the War Office admitted fthe truth, but said that it would be retaken In a few days.For a month Or so nothing happened, Then it was announced that a blow would he struck.Gen, Velasco would start at once, and the rebels would be driven out of Torreon.The Government had been urged to act vigorously, because in the cotton district a record crop was in need of being picked, They responded by putting a new (ax upon cotton \u2018to meet the cost of the warlike operations\u2019 and by doing\u2014 nothing.\u201cFor six weeks after | saw Gen.Velasco's brigade In Its five trains rreon remained In the hands of the rebels, The forces which were to retake it advanced and retreated, chas- sed and set to partners, marched this way and marched that.Gen, Velasco was frequently -eported to be not with his command, but In Saltillo.Not until the 10 h of December was Torreon retaken and then only because the rebels had drawn off and left the garrison very weak, \u201cAfter the ovacual on of Torreon by the Federals, Gen.Munguia was tried by a court of Inquiry.The intention was to shoo! him, This was his defence: \u2018How could I meet the rebels In the open?\" he asked, \u2018They fight In loose formation.1 was obliged to keep my troops together, If 1 did not they would melt away.Desertion {is the {dea uppermost in almost every soldier's mind.Again, how could I order my officers to lead their men fo the attack?1 knew their men would shoot them down as soon as they got the chance.\u2019 \u201cThe best generals would find 1 hard to do anything wilh such an army as this until they had disciplined it and discovered a certain number of men whom they could trust.Mexican generals have unfortunately very little talent for war, and they make, as a rule, no attempt to \u2018lek their men Into shape.\u2019 Officers In command are to our minds incredibly glack.At a small battle In the State of Morelos the Federals by use of machine guns forced the rebels to retire.The nature of the country made 1t casy for thelr retreat to he eut off.But the Federal colonel looked at his watch.\u2018It {a time for dinner,\u2019 he suid and told his hugler to sound the \u2018Cease fire,\" The rebels let.surely wen, away.\u201cThat kind of incident, whleh happens daily.helps to keep current the belief that Federal officers do not wish to bring the war to an end.They do not take soldiering serfously.\u201cTho Maxican army has no ariny service corps, no medleal department to speak of.It carries no camp equipment, no supplies.Wateh a field force break camp at dawn.First there go pattering off a horde of women laden with pots and pans, blankets, sometimes babies, These are the soldaderas, the camp followers, the commissariat of the foree, That they move as quickly as they do is a miracle.Whatever the day's march may be, they are always on the camping ground before the men arrive, They rig up shelters, they cook tortillas and frijoles (maize cakes and beans), they make coffee, You see them mending their hus bands\u2019 coats, washing thelr shirts, roughly tending flesh wounds.WIthout these soldaderas the army could not move.While President Huerta was selzing hundreds of men by night fn Mexico City and other cities In order to swell his \u2018orces to 100,000 he also had women \u2018pressed\u2019 to go with the new soldiers and take care of them, Criadas (maldservants) were positively afraid to he out after dark, \u201cThe difficulty of an Invasion would lle In suppressing guerrilla warfare among the mountains, in the jungles, wherever the country offered good cover for \u2018sniping\u2019 and sudden attacks upon small detachments, It would be necessary Lo put in force a measure like the crimes act In Land l.eague Ireland, which would make it a gerious and If necessary a capital offense to possess arma.\u201d Mr.Fyfe attributes Mexico's troubles largely to the rise of a middle class where before there were only the upper and \u2018\u2018peon\u2019\u2019 classes.This new group foments discontent In the breast of the \u2018\u2018peon\u2019\u2019 against those to whom his fathers had been accustomed to bow meekly ever since the Spanish conquest, /.B to the future, he sums up as follows: \u201cMadero was an accident.It lg un- lkel- that the Mexican people will be deceived again in the same way.But the man who is to rule

THE WEBK A long and bitter debate' took place in the house of commons over Dr Shortt\u2019s statement that the Borden government had dismissed over 2000 customs and other officials and made 10,000 new appointments.Minister followed minister in denouncing the statemert as a gross misrepresentation.Much of their virtuous indignation was based on the quibble between the words dismissal and resignation.As worked by the government investigators, there was no pracuca: difference.An official brought before them was told he had better resign, and s0 avoid the stigma of being dismissed, and nearly all the victims of the star-chamber prose- eutions, with the pistol preserted to their heads of Resign or be dismissed, chose to resign.There were 6548 resignat'ons, n arly all for ed against 8,495 dismissals.The cruelty of the action can only be realized by those who witnessed some of these changes, The Patricias were the first Canadians to come into close quarters with the enemy.On the 1st March an airship had spied the Germans busily engaged in digging a sap that would enable them to enter the British trenches, The order was given to prepare to prevent them.At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning two companies of the Patricias left their trench and dashed over the 40 yards between it and where the Germans were working.Thrre was a brief bayonet fight, 30 Germans killed and 8 made prisoners.The Germans used hand grenades but could not get a machine-gun to bear.Having destroyed the sap, about a hundred yards being blown up, the Canadians retired, with the loss of Captain Colquhoun and 5 killed.The wounded were carried off.Major Gault was wounded in the right arm.It was a small affair, just ope of those little fights that are daily taking place along the lines of trenches in the valley of the Aisne, but it demonstrated that Capadian grit which is going to tell when the weather permts field operations.The Quebec house closed its session on Friday.The distinguishing feature of the session was the large expenditure it authorized.which the average revenue of the past few years will not meet, That taxing Chinese laundrymen, securing a larger yield from the successive tax, and making slot machines liable to a yearly tax of $3, will cover the deficiency is not to be supposed, and additional forms of raising mopey will have to be devised, Of the new loan of ten million dollars, the interest of half will be mostly covered by payments {rom the municipalities, In criticisms of the loan the new leader of the Opposition made a poor impression.He is not to te compared with his predecessor, Mr Tellier.Long delayed just.ca to womap was partially rendered by waat is known asthe Perodeau bill, which enacts that If tnere is nochildren, but the marriage, and if the deceascd husband has no father, mother brothers nor sisters living, the widow inherits the whole of h.s property.If there are chiidren, she takes one-third and the children two- thirds, It there are no chi dren, b.tth> husband is survived by father and mother and brothers and siste:s, or nephews and pieces, to the first degree, the widow takes ore third and the relatives mentioned two-thirds, If there are no children and the husband leave only his father ard mother and brothers apd sisters half and the mother and father the other half, 7 If there are no children and the husband be not survived by father or mother, brothers or sisters.bu* only by nephews and nieces to the first degree, the widow takes one- half and the collateral relations mentioned take one-nalf.This is well so far as it goes, but more is called for, The husband ought to have no claim on the personal earnings of his wife, and her consent ought to be nece:sary in selling real-estate owned by the husband at date of marriage.The theory of the civil code, in mating a distinction On account of sex, ought*th be eliminated from every article, * Labor troubles are clogging Britain's war movements, The snarp rise in price of provisions has made living dear and all classes of workmen are asking higher wages, Lloyd George declared in parliament that military supplies were more important than men to carry on the war and that any stoppage of them by strikes might be fatal.When we are told that, in a single week, the fleet in the Dardanelles fired five thousand toms of sheils we can realize the truth of this, 86 far strikes ot g'gantic vs have\u2019 been avoided.4 The German attempted Llockad.of the British isles by means of submarines has tailed.Tae b.ock- ade was announced to

beung served daily with a loaf for two.now get one to be divided among three the loaf is half soldiers, and potato, The exciting feature of the war is still the efforts of the Allied fleets to reach Constantinople.Daily the bombardment of the forts that line the narrows that lead into the sea of Marmora goes on and each night sees a little progress made, It is slow work and may take weeks to accomplish, A remarkable feature is the trifling loss sustained by the Allies, due to the shorter range of the Turkist guns and their being poorly aimed.15 prevent hell reaching batteri:s from the

sending more men to the front or expenci g mo.e uuney on the war, but shou.d de vote her efforts to increasing production of food.Mr Bellemare e.- dorsed these views, Our neighbors are again in tro-ble in Mexico.The robbers,who conterd among themselves for tne privicgu of plundering that country, are forgetting that the rights of foreigners must be respected, and have been looting their property.President Wilson has notified Carran.a that unless he protects foreign interests the U.8.will again intervene, and to prove the threat is not an empty one two warships have been sent to Vera Cruz.SPF ORMSTOWN The last masquerade of the season was held Tuesday night, w.en a good attendance is reported in spite of soft ice and the lateness of the season.The presence of the band was, no

of the above Association was held in the Queen's Hotel, Montreal, on the 9th instant.Many members were present from almost every section from which Milk and Cream is shipped to Montreal.The President, W.George Rodgers, presided, A resolution was adopted, to be presented to the Health Authorities of Montreal City, requesting that they pass regulations for the purpose of bringing into effect some system of grading milk, and for the payment of Milk according to this grading or scoring, thus the producer who ships Milk of a high standard would be paid more than for inferior milk.This would encourage the production of Milk and Cream of a high standard.A letter read from the New York Central, Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk, and Canadian Pacific Railways, ruspecting the \u2018noncompliance with the order of the Board of Railway Commissioners by the shippers.The letter stated that cans were not being properly marked and tagged, and, at flag stations, way-billed by the shippers, and in a great many cases, where the cans numbered more than twenty, the shippers were not at hand to assist in unloadin, and that unless the order of the Board is lived up to by the respee- tive shippers the companies will assume no responsibility whatever for loss, damage, or delay to milk.The Oficers of the Association respectfully request our shippers to observe this order as far as possible.If the Railway Companies fail to give satisfactory service, shippers are requested to make complaint to the proper officials of the respective Companies, or to the Secretary of the Association.The fixing of the price of Milk for the coming summer came in for considerable discussion.All were agreed that owing to the excessive price of Mill Feeds, the price of Milk should be increased, so that the producer would receive a living profit.However, the majority considered it would be unwise to raise the price of Milk at such a time of financial depression as now exists, therefore the price was fixed at the sume figures as last year, viz.16¢ per gallon for May and June, and 17e per gallon for July, August, and September, delivered in Montreal.The price of Cream wus fixed at 3 1-2 per cent, butter fat.The

upon the body of the deceased, and found a mino: wound on the face, near the icf.ear, und another upon the lefc jaw, wih a deep wound four inches long upon the left side of the neck Everything including the sk'n wind pipe, muscles, and blood vessels were cut to the bone, and there was no doubt that this serious wound had been the cause of death.vag nat.Wils arparéatiy 30 to 85 years of age, and the autopsy revealed that all the organs of the hody were in a healthy condition.The wound in the neck from \u2018tr nature could not have been self-in- flicted, and it could not have been accidental.As there was blood about the neck of the man\u2019s clothing, and only a little sprinkied oi the front ot his coat, and some upon the cuff of his right cout- sleeve, it was apparent that the man had received the fatal wound whilst lying down or being he'd down, for otherwise all his clothing would have been sprinkled wt.blood from head to feet.Both doctors testified from the condition in which they found the deceased, that the man had apparently been murdered betweon live wnd seven o'clock in the evening 0.November 11th.Dr Clouston stated thut he had found a number of articles in the vicinity of the body of the deceased, among which was an open razor and an open knife.He sad the wounds un the face and jaw had probably been made with the kni.e.and that in the neck inflicted w.t.the razor.Both the razor andthe knife were covered with blood.I'he deceased had carried a secret purse attached to a belt which he wore upon his person, and which at the time Dr Clouston arrived, was exposed to view, and was empty.Dr D.D.MacTaggart, of Montreal, stated that he had analyzed the blood found on the coat, the knife and the razor, and that there is no doubt that the blood is human blood.His examination revealed a statement of facts and not of mere opinion.Abraham Thompson, of Kensing- ton, testified that his residence is about three-quarters of a mile from the scene of the murder, and that on that night about 6.30 o'clock, while he was at his back door.he heard three shouts in qui k succession.There was a breeze blowing that night from the so.th- west, and the shouts he heard may have been the ries of the deceased, altho as a matter of fact he did not know the shouting.Ernest Watterson testilied that it was he Who advised Coroner C.o.s- ton that he and Henry McKane had found the deceased by the roadside, Wm, A.Nesbit said that he had left his house about 6.80 on the night of the 11th of November, and had culled at the residence of George Nesbit, after taking about fifteen minutes to reucn the jatt.rs place, At George Nesbit's he remained for about 45 minutes, It was, therefore, then about 7.30 when he started to go back home after a key which he unexpect.d y found he needed.He was on the Way back from George Nesbts about five minutes, when he met two men, apparently the accused, each of them earrying a bundle under his arm and heading for Helena, He bade them \u2018good ight, but received no response, Conti:u- ing on his way he reached home about ten minutes later, ol tune.the key he required and set out immediately for Helena, Oa jeach- ing the public road, opposite hs own property, he again saw two men.possibly the same two, but: s to this he is not certain, who h:d apparently turned on their way and were now travelling in the direction of Kensington.One of the two asked him the way to Montreal, and he supplied the information required.They also asked h m if he was the policeman of the road and he assured them that he was.altho as a matter of fact he is net a policeman.Both men were at the time about 15 or 20 minutes\u2019 walk from Kensington The hour must have been about a quarter to 8 o'clock.That night about 8 o'clock Wm, White saw the accused, Cta'an Dicheoft, the taller of the two men, whom he identified in court, in Murdoch's store in Kensington, Dichcoff inquired the way to White\u2019s station, pronouncing it simply \u201cWhite's,\u201d Mr White gave the accused the information as to the way to Whites Station.He also stated that he had found a quantity of torn papers, leitars ard envelopes, all apparently the property of the deceased.These letters and.envelopes he handed to Detective Lorrain.Francis Carriere testified that the body of the deceased had been brought to one of his outer build ings and an inquest had been held there on the 14th and 17th of November last, .Mrs J.O.LePage, wife of the Grand Trunk agent at Whites Station, testified that between eight and nine o'clock, on the evening o\u2019 November 11th, the two accused whom she now identitied in court, had called at the station and asked for a drink of water, which was supplied, and also for =a night\u2019s lodging, which was refused, Bota men nad beea advised tu apply for lodgings at Whites or Mc- Cormick\u2019s, but both replied that they ,had no money.They asked her aLout the trains to Mortiea.also.J.O.LePage also identifed t e accused and corroborated the testimony given by his wife, and say: that on the morning of the 12t.of November Naiden Vastoff had first bought a ticket for Moi- treal, and later another one, bot.second-class.Hymen Docter, describing h msc] as a painter, residing in the ety of Montreal, said he was one of party of seven young people who had accompanied a feliow-coun r, - mn, à Russian Jew, as far as Huntingdon, on his way to Rua.si .Their friend proceeded on his way to New York via the New York Centra), and the party of which the witness was one, got off a Huntingdon, and stayed there over night, taking the carly morning train by another route, the Grand Trunk, the next morning for Montreal, The party rode in the first- class car, but he himself after being on the way from Huntingdon, a half or three-quarters of an hour went into the smoking car to smoke a cigarette, While he was smoking, his attention was a*- tracted by the two men who wer sitting opposite to him.They both spoke in the Bulgarian language, a language with which hr is to some extent familiar, The two men each had money in bot\" hands, and were passing bills to each other.On account of the noise made by the train while in motion, he was not able to hear what was being said beyond ar occasional word or so.He iden*i- fied the two accused as the two men he had seen on the train, and stated that when at last the train stopped at a station.the name of which he does not know.he hesrd Vastoff say to his companion that if the latter talked too much in Montreal, it would make trouhl- for both of them, Docter tho-g't at the time there was somet ing wrong, but paid no further attention to the men, About a morth ago, hearing of the murder com-\u2019 mitted in the county of Hu: ting=- don, by two Bulgarians, and having heard a description of the accused, he wondered whether they were the two men he had secn on the train.He reported his experience to Detective Lorrain and Mr Lorrain had him call at the ja at Valleyfield, to see the accused.When he saw thim he at once identified them as the two men he had seen on the morning train from Huntingdon, on the 12th November last, Hymen Docter was subjected to a very long cross-examination, extending over half a day, but thru- out the ordeal his testimony remained unshaken.Abe Anderson, a young man 17 years of age, who was one of the party Who accompanied the cepart- ing Russian Jew, corroborated iiy- men Docter\u2019s story.The case is in progress and may not be concluded this week, The accused are represented LY J.Wilfrid Pilon, of

Marek 5.\u2014The picturesqueness of the Indian troops of the British Empire breaks tne monotony of the grim.colorless business of modern war at the British front.The little mule carts of these soldiers move about among the powerful motor trucks from England.It was first feared that the Indians might not stand shell fire well, but they b.- came used to it and now they are even contemptuous of it.Accustomed to a hot and dry climate, the chill and rainy weatuer andth.miry mud of Northern France ha been their worst enemy.When tl ¢ sun shines a smile spreads over the whole Indian force.Thanks to many layers of warm clothing and careful attention, tne sick repois of the Indian troops is normal.The food of these men has to be brought from India.Speaking no word of Engrish, these dusk: strangers have come from the oth'r side of the world to fight in Franre for Great Britain, Billeted in barns, with thick layers of straw for their beds, each race cooking its food to its taste and according to ts east customs, they form a serarate world of never-censing wonder to the French inhabitints.Th's morning there was seen 3,000 cavalrymen riding by on \u2018a muddy roar with a hackground of flat ard misty landscape, with all the precision they would show at a roya\u2019 review, Occasionally among the dusky faces under the turbans there wer¢ the white countenances of the English officers who had tramed these varied tribes and who have stood with them in the trenches in icy waters up to thein waists against the enemy.Sir Pertat Singh, 72 years old rode at the head of his regiment.\u201cThey told me I was too old,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I replied: \u201cIf you will not let mr fight in France [ will go to Afghanistan and fight there.I do\u201d mean to die in my bed.and I carnot live much longer.So they let me come.\u201d Altho al! the cavalry is fighting as infantry in trereho\u201d cavalry officers keep up their cavalry drills and the horses are ir good condition.This is becars there may be a chance for t\"r cavalry when the exnectod Germar break comes.Everybody on three line speaks of the Germans goirg back, as if this was certain as the coming of spring.Health of the Troops London, March 3.\u2014The first six montns of the war passed witiou.a single case ol typhus or of cho era in the British army, including Lot the expeditionary forces and the troops in the British training camps.So far the greatest cause of moi- tality among the troops has been pneumonia, which resulted in 351 deaths out of 1,508 cases.As re= gards other diseases, 625 cases of typhoid fever and 49 deaths are reported in the expeditionary foree, and 202 cases and 47 deaths inthe camps in the United Kingdom.Scarlet fever had only 196 cases and four deaths in the expedition, as against 1,879 cases and 22 deaths in Great Britain.Measles, a d.:ease associated with childhood, sent 1,843 recruits to the English camp hospitals, with 65 deaths, while the seasoned men on the contingent had only 175 sick from this cause with two deaths, Considering th.t the British, regular and territorial began the war with a half million men and has since expanded to avout 2,500,000, the low death rate is said to have probably estab.ished a record.Submarines Francis T.Bowles, formerly chiet constructor of the United States navy and an authority on submarines, in an interview on his return from Europe, said there was no foundation for the general belief that German submarines are any better than those of either France or Great Britain, The best of these craft, he said, can carry fuel sufficient for a journey of a thousand miles.They do not have to keep continually in motion, hat can rest under the ocean's surface or drop to the bottom when danger is near, Airships and their Doings Paris, March 3.\u2014The Germans, warned by spies who still succecd in operating in Flanders, sent five aeroplanes laden with incendiary bombs over La Planne while Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians was reviewing fhe Grenad.er reg mertana the Tenth Infantry.As soon as the Taubes came abreast of the city they began to drop thei hombs, apparently aiming for the parade grounds.Some of the bombs fell near the Red Cross hospital, while others dropped close to the Royal villa, but none did any damage.While the presence of the aeroplanes, which were s0 high as to be almost invisible, created excitement they were not allowed to interfere with the review.Unmindful of the fact that the proceedings were punctuated occasio:i- ally by the explosion of a bomb the band struck up a lively march, and the 72 companies in the two regiments marched past between the Queen and the sea.The Queen, unmindful of this also, sat her horse like a veteran.And her attitude strengthened the nerve of the crowd of citizens who were massed, North of France, March 2.\u2014On Friday afternoon four German aeroplanes flew over La Planne, a small bathing place on the sea coast.The airmen threw several bombs.One bomb carried away the cornice of a villa and killed a nurse andlitt'e boy she was carrying in her arms.A military tailor was also killed.A Submarine Sunk Captain John William Bell, of the steamship Thordias, bound from Blyth to Plymouth, England, which arrived at Portland March 1, ve- ported that during the voyage he observed the periscope of a submn- rine on his starboard how.\u2018All hands were ordered on deck.The captain noticed the submarine cross his bows to port, where it took vp a position about 40 yards ahead.Shortly afterwards he noted the wake of a torpedo, which had been fired from the port side ahead of him, on his starboard bow, He put the helm hard over and ran over the periscope.As he did so there Was a crash underneath.The submarine disappeared and oil was observed to be floating on the water, Booze Did It A French steamship was sent to Nieuport with supplies for the French camp at Nieuport.Inste d of going into that harbor, the o'f¢;- cers, who were all on the drunk, steered into Ostend, which is occu- pled by Germans, who shelled the vessel and sent her to the boitom of the sea.Where Men Rest At another place on the line the correspondents entered a building which seemed neither wholly hospital nor wholly Y.M.C.A.The reason that the location of th's and many other places is not given is because no German ae

fourteen days: If in that time they have not sufficiently recovered from the exhausting demands of the trenches to return to the front, they are sent back to t.e base.\u201cDoesn't some

'enter thu straits from the summit of a near- uy hill says the sight was most magnificent.At first the fleet wus ranged in a semi-circle some muies out to sea from the entrance to thu straits.1t afforded an inspiring spectacle us the ships came along and took up position, and the picture became almost awe-inspang when the guns began to boom.The bombardment at first was slow, snelis from the various ships screamed through the air at tae rate of about one every two miu- ates, Their pract.ce Was excelent, and With strong glasses I coud see .uge masses of eartn and stonework thrown high up into the aur.tne din, even at this distance, wus terrific, and when the larger snips witn the biggest guns in tne word, joined an tne martial cnorus, the ar reat WaAtN Car-spiicting noise.vhe \u2018Turkish batter.es, nowever, \u2018ere not tu be drawn; and, seeing «is, tue British admiral sent one Writish ship and one French ship ctose in shore toward the Sedu-sæ.- Banr forts, It was a pretty sig.t to swe the two battleships swing rapidiy away toward the northern cape, spitting fire and smoke as wney rode, \u2018Lhey obscured tne pure atmospnere with clouds of smoke irom their funnels and guns; yet warough it all I could see they were getting home with the sncts they tired, As tney went in, they siocd «got under the guns of the shore vatteries, whien coud no longer resist the temptaton to see what «ney couid do, Putfs of waite smoko scattered the landscape on the rar snore, and dull booms cchoed over cae placid water.Around the ship fountains of water sprang up into «he air.I'he enemy had been drawn vut his marksmanship was obviously very bad.I think I am rignt in saying pnât not a single shot directed against the ships came with=- in a hundred yards of either.Out came the tWo ships again, ineffectively pursued by shells from tne Turkish batteries.As they rv- tired they continued to make excellent practice and thair parting shells were quite as good as their first.The position and numoer of the enemy\u2019s batteries had been d.s- covered as a result of this brillant little piece of work, and soon the l'urkish guns were under a hail of the most deadly shells warfare 1as ever known, From a distance, Whith must have been ten miles at least monstrous projectiles, dealing do- struction and death, were poured in upon the forts guarding the entrance and each one appeared to create a frightful inferno where it landed.wnen the eariy part ot the bom- bardmant had successfully dea.t With the entrance fortific:t.on3, several ships were able to enter the straits, and on the oroad sheet of water inside to carry on the work of destroying the batteries still farther up the arm of the sea.Before that was done, however, the torts at Kum Kaie had to be dealt With, and that was done in an extraordinary manner.One sect.on oi tne fleet, protected by tie extreme point of the Gallipoli Peninsula, fired over the hilly promonotory at forts, making splendid pract.ce.Another part of the squadron, from a sheltered position off the coasi northeast of Tenedos Island, directed a telling fire on the same forts, besides turning its attention with obviously great effect on groups of Turkish troops seen moving on the mainland.The silencing of the Kum Kale forts finally opened the entrance to the Dardanelles, When the {fleet passed within the straits, I was 'tiil able to observe the work of the warships \u2018in clearing the \u2018passage.Fighting on the Persian Gull British troops occupying the head of the Persian Gulf located two Turkish forces accompanied by hostile tribesmen during the past werk and in the fighting which followed heavy casualties were inflicted on the Turks and their Allies, while the British also suffered considerably.On March 8, the enemy, who had been hocated at Chadir, and who apparently had been further reinforced the previous day, turned out in great strength.Their number was estimated at about 12,000.In the course of our withdrawal the enemy made repeated and determined efforts to cut off a reconnoitering party.Several hand- to-hand encounters took place, i which the attackers were held successfully at bay while our party : BH al et TT D OT 7 made good its retirement.It ap- g that the enemy lost no less rom 3JJ) to YO) killed, .n- of the Sheik of besides from 500 Our casualties ts

comparatively early age come (c British Columbia.With bis earlier lifo we are not concerned; at the time of which we write he was keep: ing a boarding house and billiard room In the city: of Vancouver, and was president of the Japanese Bourd- ing House Keepers\u2019 Union.Ishiwaka was unconsciously the occasion of a great denouement; he it was who furnished a clue\u2014supplied the answer in fact to an important question existing in the year 1907 on the British Columbia coast \u2014'\u2018Where did the Japanese come from?\" Ishikawa gave the answer.In the spring of 1907 the Oriental immigration situation on the Canadian Pacific coast was becoming acute.Chinese immigration, restricted to some extent by tbe imposition of a $500 head tax, thougb not re- Jished by the white inhabitants of British Columbia, was not causing any great alarm; It was steady, but it came gradually and could be controlled, The head tax bad been put up before; it could be put up again.What commenced to worry the people, however, was the big increase in the number of Japanese coming to Columbia\u2019s shores.Then came the riots of 1907 and the enquiry into the losses of the Japanese, Ishikawa was put on the stand and his evidence revealed the secret.When the commission rose, poor old Ishiwaw had been pumped dry; he had told all about the emigration companies in Japan, formed for the purpose of sending out Japanese laborers for the rallway and lumber camps of British Columbia; he had supplied the names of other compan- fes in Vancouver who were bringing immigrants from Japan; had furnished the raison d'etre for a further enquiry as to the methods by which Orientals had been induced to come to Canada, the commission authorizing which was rushed through by wire almost before the Japanese interested in the immigration of laborers had had time to get set, and which further enquiry cleared up the whole question of how the Orientals were coming in.This further enquiry, however, is another story; the pr:sent concerns merely poor, old Ishikawa.For once it became known among Lis Japanese friends how Ishikawa had let the cat out of the bag his lot wus not a happy one; he was condemned for his stupidity; it was plain in later evidence that strong efforts were made to dispute his testimony, and throw discredit upon it, but t.no avail, Ishi- kawa was a tide in the affairs of men; he had been taken at the flood, and he had led on to victory for those interested in solving the big Japanese influx into British Columbia.And no doubt oft times in his boarding house on Powell street in the Japanese quarter in Vancouver, as he gathers in the receipts from his billiard table, and debates what manner of hash hig boarders shall have on the morrow, Ishikawa often meditates on those fair days when he was president of the Japanese Boarding House Keepers\u2019 Unlon, from which long since he has heen de- t} roned, and of one particular, eventful day\u2014s dismal, rainy day in the fall of an eventful year\u2014'\u2019Ah, surely ths month was October, ii.his most immemorial year'\u2019\u2014the day that be became in truth \u2018poor, old Ishi- kawa.\"\u201d Wanted\u2014A Strong Navy.One of the best stories which Lord Mersey, chairman of the Empress of Ireland Wreck Commission, tells about himself is that concerning an old lady's remarks on his appointment to the position of President of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division.\u2018Dear .ne!\u201d exclaimed the old lady, \u2018Is he going to the Adunir- alty Division?How very nice! | do trust be will see that we sbal) have a strong navy.\u201d Apparently his lordship, like many other people, views with amase- ment the progress of the modern woman, and during the course of a speech which be made a short time ago he sald: \u2018Ladies have ceased to be what they were-\u2014the shadow\u2019 of their husbands\u2014and have become personalities, people whom we cannot ignore.\u2018They have become more and more separated from the poor man.What they are becoming quite terrifies me.I am beginning to doubt whether 1 know women at all, and if I do not, what on earth am I doing sitting in the Divorce Court?\u201d pr Give Public I\u2019reference.Amendments have been made to tha cold storage regulations passed last session, wbich are of considerable importance.It is provided that owners of cold storage warebouses which are subsidized under the act must give the public preference in the use of refrigerated space.It shall be a violation of the act if such space is refused on the plea of lack of space if such space is to be occu- pled by goods belonging to the owners of the warehouse.Owners shall not contract or agree to glve all the refrigerated space to one or more firms to the\u2019 exclusion of the general public.A fine not exceeding $50 is provided for violation of these regulations.Not In Force Yet.As considerable misunderstanding he arisen as to the new naturaliza- tiir act, the State Department at Ot- ; tawa is issuing a special circular on the subject directing attention to the tact that the new law ls not now ln effect but will be only on January ist next, while with respect to people living here at present and up to the firet of the year, the old law wil) apply for three years yet.Hereto- tore naturalization was granted in court by

THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1915 HE HUIN 1IN JON KANER TE RED YEAR À Story of the Indian Mutiny \u2014By\u2014 | LOUIS TRACY CHAPTER XVI, In the Vortex abs #det of thé other and his companion dodged through the Delhi Gate., his pursuers might have gal- joped straight to the other exit and thus made certain that he was still in the palace.If that were go, and they ferreted him out, as well die here as elsewhere.Meanwhile, he chewed philosophically at a few grains of the ; , and awaited the outcome of ovents that were now beyond his con- A wild swirl of wind and rain seem- .od to favor him.There was not much traffic past his retreat, and that littl- ceased when a deluge lashed the dry earth and clouds of vapor rcs- ax * though the water were beating on au oven.Now and again a syce hurried Malcolm was not one to throw his .life away without an effort to save it.Once, during a visit to Delhi, Captain Douglas, the ill-fated commandant of the Palace Guards, had taken him to his quarters for tiffin.As it happened, the two entered by the Delhi Gate and walked through the gardens and corridors to Douglas's rooms, which were situated over the Lahore Gate.Thus be possessed a vague knowledge of the topography of the citadel, and his visit that morning had refreshed his memory to a slight extent.On that slender reed he based some hope of escape.In any event he prayed that his ruse might better Chumru\u2019s chances, and he promised himself a soldier's death if brought to bay inside the palace.Crossing the drawbridge at a fast gallop, he saw a number of guards looking at him wonderingly.It occurred to him that the exciting events of the early hours might have led to orders being given on the question of admitting sepoys in large numbers.If that were so, he might gain time by 8 bit of sheer audacity.At any rate, there was no harm in trying.As he clattered through the gateway he shouted excitedly: \u201cClose and bar the door! None must be admitted without the King's special order!\u201d The spectacle of & well-mounted sepoy officer, blood-stained and travel- worn, who arrived in such desperate baste and was evidently pursued by a body of horse, so startled the attendants that they banged and bolted the great door without further ado.Already the story was going the rounds that the precious life of Baha- dir Shah had actually been threatened by the overbearing sepoys\u2014what more likely than that this hard-riding officer was coming to apprise his majesty of a genuine plot, while the flying squadron in the rear was striving to cut him down before the fateful message was delivered?Not to create too great a stir, Malcolm pulled up both horses at the entrance to the arcade.He called a chaprassi and bade him hold Chumru's steed.Then, learning from the uproar at the gate that the guards were obeying his instructions literally, he went on at an casier pace.The palace was humming with excitement.Its numerous buildings housed a multitude of court nobles and other hangers-on to the court, and each of these had his special coterie of ar tendants who helped to advance their own fortunes by clinging to their master's skirts.The jealousies and intrigues that surround a throne were never more in evidence than at Delhi during the last hours of the Great Mogul.Already men were preparing for the final catastrophe.While the ignorant mob was firm in its belief that the rule of the sahib had passed forever, those few clearer-headed persons who possessed any claim to the title of statesmen were convinced that the Mutiny had failed.Nearly four months were sped since that fatal Sunday when the rebellion broke out at Meerut.And what had been achieved?Delhi, the pivot of Mohammedan hopes, was crowded with a licentious soldiery, who obeyed only those leaders that pandered to them, who fought only when some per- fervid moullah aroused their worst passions by his eloquence, and who were terrible only to peaceful citizens.All public credit was destroyed.The rule of the King, nominal within the walls of his own palace, was laughed at in the city and ignored beyond the walls, The provincial satraps and feudatory princes who should be striving to help their sovereign were wholly devoted to the more congenial task of carving out kingdoms for themselves.Nana Sahib, rehabilitated in OQudh, was opposing Havelock's advance; Khan Bahadur Khan, an ex-pensioner of the Company, had set up a barbarous despotism at Barelily; the Moul- vie of Fyzabad, intent on the destruction of the Residency, meant to establish himself there as \u201cKing of Hindustan\u201d if only that stubborn entrenchment could be carried; Mahudi Hu- sain, Gaffur Beg, Kunwer Singh, the Ranee of Jhansi, and a host of other prominent rebels scattered throughout Oudh, Bengal, the Northwest Pro vinces and Central India, cared less for Delhi than for their own private affairs, and were consequently permitting the British to gather forces by which they could be destroyed piece meal.From Nepaul, the great border state, lying behind the pestilential jungle of the Teral, came an army of nine thou: sand Ghoorkahs to help the British.At Hyderabad, the most powerful Mohammedan principality in India, the Nizam and his famous minister, Sir Salar Jung, crushed a Jehad with ca=.non and grapeshot.In a word, the orgy had ended.and the day of reckoning was near.Malcolm, therefore, was confronted with two separate and Lcstile sets of conditions.On the one hand, he was threading his way through a maze of conflicting interests, and this was a circumstance most favorable to his chances of escape; on the other, every man regarded his neighbor with distrust and a stranger with positive suspicion, while Malcolm's distinguished appearance could not fail to draw many inquiring eyes.He cross«d the large garden beyond the arcade and was making for an arch that gave access to the long covered passage leading to the Delhi Gate, when he saw Akhab Khan standing there.The rebel leader was deep in converse with a richly-attired personage whom Frank discovered afterwards to be the Vizier.Near Akhab Khan an escort of sowars stood by their horses, and Malcolm felt that the instant the former lance-corporal set eyes on either Nejdi or himself recognition would follow as surely as a vulture knows its prey.He could neither dawdle nor hesitate.Wheeling Nejdi towards the nearest arch on the left, he found himself in an open space between the walls of the fortress and the outer line of buildings.Underneath the broad terrace, from which troops could de fend the battlements, stood a row of storerooms and go-downs.At a little distance he could distinguish a line of stables, and the mere sight sent the blood dancing through his veins, only he could evade capture unus nightfall he would no longer feel that each moment might find him making a last fight against impossible odds.Dismounting, be led Nejdi to an un- pccupled stall.As there was nothing to be gained by half measures he re- \u2018moved saddle and bridle, hung them on & peg, put a halter on the Arab, ad- dusted the heel-ropes, and hunted the adjoining stalls for forage.past, with head and shoulders enveloped in.a sack.Once a party of s:- poys trudged through the mud.towards the water bastion of the palac >, and the men whom they had relieved .ogame back the same way a few min.utes later.Nejdi had seldom been groomed so vigorously as during the passing of these detachments ,but no one gave the slightest heed to the cavalry ofticer who was engaged on such an unusual task.If they noticed him at all it was to wonder that he could be such a fool as to work when there were bundreds of loafers in the city who could be kicked to the job.The rain storm changed Into a steady drizzle and the increasing gloom promised complete darko: ss within half an hour.Malcolm was beginning to plan his movements when he became aware of a man wrapped in a heavy cloak who approached from the direction of the arcade and pecrce into every nook and cranny.\u201cNow,\u201d thought Frank, \u201ccomes my first real difficulty, That man is searching for some one.Whether or not he seeks me he is sure to speak, and if my presence has been reported he will recognize both Nejdi and me Instantly.If so, 1 must strangle him with as little ceremony as possibli.\u201d The newcomer came on.In the ha\u2018 light it was easy to see that he was not a soldier but a court official.In deed, before the searchers glan e rested on the gray Arab, munchin contentedly in his stall, or the sta\u2019 sowar who stood in obscurity nc is head, Frank fuit almost sure thu e was face to face with the trus\u2019 confidant who had carried out Ros.nara Begum's behests in the garden © Bithoor.That fact saved the native's 1° The Englishman would have ki! him without compunction wer | » for the belief that the man vas ou.tually looking for him and for re other, and with friendly int nt.te else he would have brought a bods guard.Sure enough, the strangers fir: words were of good import.He cou not see clearly into th: durx sta! + and it was necessary to measure on uttertnces in Delhi just then.\u201cIf you are one who rode imo Doli this morning I would have spevc: with you,\u201d he muttered softly.\u201cBay on,\u201d said Malcolm.gripping his sword.\u201cNay, one does not give the Prin cess Roshinara\u2019s instructions withou knowing that they reach the ears thoy are meant for.\u201d The Englishman came out from the obscurity.He approached sv qj iy that the native started back, being far from prepared for Frank's very con vincing resemblance to a rissaldar ot cavalry.\u201clI look for one\u2014\" he began, but Frank had no mind to lose time.\u201cFor Malcolm-sahib?\u201d\u2019 he demanded.\u201cIt might be some such name,\u201d was the hesitating answer.\u201cI am be.1 saw thee last at Bith- oor, when | escaped with Mayne-sahib and the missy-baba.\u201d \u201cBy Mohammed! I would not have known you, sahib, though now I re member your face Come with me, and uickly.Each moment here means anger.\u201d \u201cAy, for thee, tricked so easily.\u201d \u201cHuzoor, have I not sought thee without arms or escort?I and another bave searched the palace these two bours.Leave your horse.I will have him tended.Come, sahib, 1 pray you.The Begum awaits you, but there are po many who know of your presence that I shall not be able to save you if you fall into their hands.\u201d These were fali-seeming words with the ring of truth about them.At any rate Malcolm's whereabouts were no longer a secret, and it would not be war but murder to offer violence to one who came with good intent on his llps if not in his heart.\u201cLead on,\u201d said Frank, sternly, \u201cand remember that I shall not hesitate to strike at the first sign of treachery.\u201d \u201cI shall not betray you, sahib, but you must converse with me as we walk and not draw too many eyes by holding a naked sword.\u201d This was so manifestly reasonable that Malcolm felt rather ashamed of his doubts.Yet, he thought it best not to appear to relax his precautions.\u201cI would not pass through the palace with a sword in my hand,\u201d he sald with a quiet laugh, \u201cbut I have a pistol in my belt, and that will suffice for six men.\u201d His guide set off at a rapid pace, When they were near the great arch leading into the garden they halted in front of a small door in a dimly- lighted building, and the native rapped twice with his kouckles on three separate paneis.Some bolts were drawn and the two were admitted, the door being instantly barred behind them by an attendant.The darkness in the passage was impenetrable.Frank held himself tensely, but his companion's volce reached him from a little distance in front, while he heard other bolts being drawn.\u201cYou will see your way more clearly now,\u201d was the reassuring message, and when the second door was opened the rays of a lamp lit the stone walls and floor.They went on, through lofty corridors, across sequestered gardens and by way of many a stately chamber until another narrow passage terminated in a barred door, guarded by an armed native.The man's shrill voice betokened his calling, and Frank knew that he was standing at the entrance to the zenana.\u201cThere {8 one other within,\u201d sald the guard, leering at them, \u201cWho is it, slave?\u201d asked Frank's guide, scornfully, for he was annoyad by the eunuch's familiar tone.\u201cNay, I obey orders,\u201d was the tart response.\u201cEnter, then, and may Allah prosper you.\u201d There was a hint of danger in the otherwise excellent wish, but the man unlocked the door, and they passed within, Frank's wondering eyes rested on a scene of fairy-llke beauty, so exquisite in its colorings and so unexpected withal, that not even his desperate predicament could repress for an instant the feeling of astonishment that overwhelmed him.He was standing in a white marble chamber, pillared and roofed in the Byzantine style, while every shaft and arch was chiseled into graceful Îtfnes and adorned with traceries or carved festoons of fruit and flowers.The walls were brightened with mosaics wrought in recious stones.Texts from the ran in the flowing Persi-Arabie script, ran above the arches.In the floor, composed of colored tiles, was set à pachisi board, as the wide entrance hall to a European bouse might bave a chess-board incorporated with the design of the tiled floor.Not a garish tiut or inharmonious line interfered with the chaste ele gance of the white marble, and the whole apartment, which seemed to be the ante-room of the ladies\u2019 quarters, was lighted with Moorish lamps.Malcolm took in some of the details in one amazed glance, but his thoughts were recalied sternly to the affairs of the moment by hearing the ring of spurred heels on the sharpsounding pavement from behind a curtained arch, There was no time to retreat hor cross toward an alcove that pro mised some slight screen from the soft and Pe saw peas that filled the room.saw guide was turbod, but he asked no question.With the quick military tread came I am not one to be the frou-frouof ti.k andthe footial of slippered fret.Then t ecu ta > was drawn aside and Akhab Khan entered, followed by the Princess Roshi- nara.Malcolm had tha advantage of a few seconds\u2019 warning.Even as Akhab Khan placed his hand on the curtain the Englishman sprang forward, and the astounded sowar, now a brigadier in the rebel forces, found himself looking into the muzzle of a revolver, \u201cDo not move till I bid you, Akhab Khan,\u201d said Malcolm, in his self-con- tained way.\u201cl am summoned hither, so I come, but it may be necessary to secure a8 hostage for my safe conduct outside the walls again.\u201d \u201cYou! Malcolm-sahib!\u201d was Akhab Khan's involuntary outburst.\u201cYes, even I.Have you not heard, then, that I rode into the palace today?\u201d \u201cThere was a report that some Fer- inghis\u2014some sahibs\u2014were In the city as sples\u2014\" \u201cMalcolm-sahib is here because I sent for him,\u201d broke in Roshinara.\u201cYou\u2014sent for him!\u201d Akhab Khan's swarthy features paled, and his eyes sparkled wrath- fuily.Heedless of Malcolm's implied threat, or perhaps ignoring it, he wheeled round on the Princess, and hie right hand crossed to his sword- t \u201cIf you so much as turn your head again or lift a hand without my order, I blow your brains out,\u201d said Malcolm in the same unemotional tone.\u201cNay, let him attack a woman if it pleaseth him,\u201d cried Roshinara, who had not drawn back one inch from the place where she was standing w\u2018en Malcolm confronted Akhab Khan and herself.\u201cThat is what our troops, officers and men alike, are best fitted for.They love to swagger in the bazaar, but their valor flies when they see the Ridge.\u201d Again quite indifferent to the fact that Malcolm's finger was on the trigger, the rebel leader threw out his bands towards the Begun iu a gesture of agonized protest.\u201cDo you not trust me, my heart?\u201d he murmured, \u201cIf you knew of this Nazarene's presence why was I not told?\u201d \u201cBecause 1 wished to save you in spite of yourself.Because | would mourn you if you fell in battle as befits a warrior and the man whom I love, but I would not have you die on the scaffold, as most of the others will die ere another mouth be sped.What hope have we of success?If forty thousand sepoys cannot overcome the three thousand on the Ridge, how shall they prevall against the force that is now preparing to storm Delhi?1 sent for Malcolin-sahib that | might obtain terms for my father and for thee, Akhab Khan.This man is now In our power.Let us bargain with him.If he goes free to-day, let him promise that we shall be spared when the gallows is busy in front of our palace.\u201d Each word of this {impassioned speech was a revelation to Malcolm, Here was the fiery beauty of the Mogul court pleading for the lives of her father and lover.pleading to him, a solitary Briton in the midst of thousands of mutineers, a prisoner in the stronghold, a spy, whose life was forfeit by the laws of war.Hardily less bewildering than this turn of fortunc's wheel was the whiriigig raat promoted a poor trooper of the Company to the position of accepted suitor for the hand of a royal maiden, Never could there be a more complete unveiling of the Eastern mind, with all its fawalism, its strange weaknesses, its uncoutrol- lable passions, Akhab Khan stretched out his arms again.\u201cForgive me.my soul, if I did doubt thee,\u201d he almost sobbed.The girl was the first to recover her self-control, \u201cPut away your pistol,\u201d she sald, fixing her fine eyes on Malcolm, with a softness in their Nmpid depths that he had never seen there before.\u201cIf we can contrive, my plighted husband and 1, you will not need it to-night, I was rejoiced to hear that you were within our gates.We are beaten.I know it.We have lost a kingdom, because wretches like Napa Dundhu Punt of Bithoor, have forgotten thelr | oaths aud preferred drunken revels to empire.Were they of my mind, were they as loyal aud honorable as the man I hope to marry, we would have driven you and yours into the sea, ; Malcolm-sahib.But Allah willed otherwise and we can only bow to his decree, It is Kismet.| am content.Say, then, Îf you are sent in safety to your camp, du you in return guarantee the two lives | ask of you?\u201d Malcolm rould not help looking at Akhab Khan before he answered.The handsome young soidier had folded his arms, and his eves dwelt on Roshinara's animated face with à sad \u2018 fixity that bespoke at once his love and his despair.Then the revolver ig his belt and bowed low be fore the woman who reposed such confidence in him.Englishman placed the \u2018 \u201cIf the issue rested with me, Princess,\u201d he sald, \u201cyou need have no fear for the future, 1 am only a poor officer and !

mischance.\u201d The nawab-ji bowed again, and assured the Presence that there would be no lapse on his part.Akhab Khan had turned away.His attitude be- \u201c tokened utter dejection, but the Princess, not the first of her sex to barter ambition for love, was radiant with hope.\u201c \u2018Go, Malcolm-sahib,\u201d she whispered, way Werc I or any other to pro- .may Allah guard you on the

then, do you think I found\u2019 out the identity of the English officer who had dared to enter Delhi?\u201d she asked.\u201cYour man came to me, not without difficulty, and told me you were here.It was he who inspired me with the thought that your presence might be turned to good account.But go, and quickly.He is safe.\u201d Frank hardly knew how to bid her farewell until he remembered that, if of royal birth, Princess Roshinara was also a beautiful woman.He took her nand and raised it to his lips, a most unusual proceeding in the Fast, but the tribute of respect seemed to please her.Following the nawab he traversed many corridors and chambers and ulti- ; mately reached an apartment in which Chunru was seated, That excellent bearer was smoking a hookah, with a couple of paince

famous brigadier had last geen him, was squatting on the ground near his master, The general was nt apt to waste time in talk, and he had a singular knack of reading men's thoughts by a look.\u201cGlad to see you back again, Major Malcolm.\u201d he cried.\u201c1 hope you were successful?\u201d \u201cIt is for you to decide.sir.when you have heard my story,\u201d and without further preamble Frank gave a clear narrative of his adventures since dawn.Not a word did he say about the very things he had been sent to report on, and Nicholson understood that a direct order alone would unlock his lips.When Frank ended the zen eral frowned and was silent.In those days men did not hold honor lightly, and Nicholson was a fine type of soldier and gentleman.\u201cConfound it!\" he growled, \u201cthis is awkward, very awkward,\u201d and Malcolm felt bitterly that the extraordinary turn taken by events in the palau- was in a fair way towards depriving his superiors of the facts they were go anxious to learn.Suddenly the big man's deep cyes fell on Chumru.\u201cHere, you,\" he growled, \"was aught pald to thee whereby thou hast a scruple to tell me how many guns defend the Cashmere Gate?\u201d \u201cHuzoor.\u201d said Chumru, \u201cthere are but two things that concern me, my master's safety and the size of that jaghir your honor promised me.\u201d Nicholson laughed with an almost boyish mirth.\u201cBy gad,\u201d he cried, \u201cyou are fortunate In your friends, Malcolm.Then he turned to Chumru again.\u201cThe jag- He car | hir is of no mean size,\u2019 he said, \u201cbut 1 shall see to it that a field is added for every useful fact you make known.\u201d Frank listened to his servant's enumeration of the guns and troops at the Lahore, Mori, and Cashmere Gates, and he was surprised at the accuracy of Chumru's mental note-taking.\u201cI need not have gone at all, sir,\u201d he could not help commenting when the bearer had answered Nicholson's final question.\u201cI seem to have a Napoleon for a valet.\u201d The brigadier laid a kindly hand on Frank's shoulder.\u201cYou forget that you have brought me the most important news of all.\u201d he said.\u201cThe enemy is defeated before the first ladder is planted against their walls.They know it, and, thanks to you, now we know It.My only remaining difficulty is not to take Delhi, but to screw up our Chief to make the effort.\u201d Then his volce sank to a deep growl.\u201cBut I'll bring him to reason, I will, by Heaven, even if [ risk being cash- {ered for insubordination!\u201d A most touching incident and one that will live In hearts of the Presby- terlans of Fergus, long after the principal figure in the little drama has passed away, was an event that occurred one Sunday recently in St, Andrew\u2019s Church, of that Scottish- Canadjan town, Pale in bis ministerial robes and 80 weak that be bad to lean against the reading desk, Rev.Logle Macdonell, risen from a bed of sickness, and in the pulpit for the first time in four years of desperate illness, addressed the congregation and implored them to help the Empire in thig time of need, to aid the Patriotic Fund and tbe starving Belgians.As his many friends know, after a brilliant career at college, and a few strenuous years in the ministry, this worthy son of a distinguished father the late Rev.D.J.Macdonell, of St.Andrew\u2019s Church, was seized by a fatal malady.Despite illness, however, he labored on at his church in Vernon, B.C., until finally sheer weakness forced him to give in.Since then he has lived at Fergus, bravely fighting a relentless enemy.Though prone on his couch and debarred from nll active work, his keen mind is ever busy, and a trenchant pen conveys bis opinions on various public issues of the day.Like his father before him, that beloved preacher of Toronto's oldest Presbyterian congregation, Rev.Logle Macdonell goes into everything with all his heart and soul.He feels most strongly on the present war.And the fact that the town of Fergus had sent only three men to the front, and furthermore, what he considered the general apathy of the people in th district, stirred him to the quick.His spirit burned within him.He must do something, When he, a sick man, so weak that he could scarcely rise from his bed, announced his intention of going into the pulpit, his friends and the doctor gasped In dismay.But the Rev.Logie was adamant, so with gloomy forebodings, they consented.Bundled up in a tur coat, the young minister arrived at the church just as the time for the sermon came.Kindly bands assisted him to his place, and presently he faced the congregation, standing in that pulpit from which his grandfather Macdonell had preached long years before.Across the way, in the neighboring kirk, his maternal grandfather, Rev.Dr.Smellle, bad exhorted the Scottish gettlers in days gone by.Apprised of his inlention the people had turned out in full force.Every pew was filled.For only ten minutes did the frail young minister address them, but his eloquence was burning, and his whols soul went forth to the farmers and townspeople, He begged them to do something for their native land, entreated them to help, and his prayer went home.Many an eye was dimmed with tears at the brave and pathetic figure speaking for the last time in the pulpit.At length he sat down, exhausted, utterly worn out by his brief exertions.Never in the history of the church had there been such a splendid response.Rich formers placed checks on the collection plates which, heaped with envelopes, coins and bills, were carried to the communion table.One thousand dollars bad been collected.Rev.Loglo Macdonald's appeal bad not been fn vain, NEED NOT TAKE OATH.Canadian-Born Germans Are Citizens In Good standing.In view of the very natural suspi- clon with which all Canadian-born are looking these days upon everyone with a German name or German blood to mark him out, it is interesting to note that there are many citizens living in Canada, some even In Toronto, who are of German extraction, but who are still just as strongly Canadian, from a naturalization standpoint, as are the amateur detectives themselves, It has been pointed out that the mere fact of \u2018 German name or German blood does not prevent a person being Canadian, without any claimed to the Vaterland.Under the Naturalization Act, the law may be briefly stated as follows: Under British and Canadian law the following persons are naturallz- ed British subjects: (1) Any person born within his Majesty's dominions and allegiance.(2) Any person born out of his Majesty\u2019s dominions whose father was a British subject at the time of that person's birth and - either was born within his Majesty's.: allegiance or was a person to whom a certificate of naturalization had been granted.(3) Any person born on a British ship, whether in foreign or territorial waters or not.This does not apply to a person born ou à foreign ship in British territorial waters if the latter is the only reason for claiming British citizenship.Clause 2 also applies where by treaty, capitulation grint, usage, suf- ferage, or other lawful means his Majesty exercises jurisdiction over British subjects.In addition to the foregoing the Act provides that children born in a forelgn country whose father or mother became naturalized in Canada shall be deemed to be naturalized British subjects.The section is ug follows: \u201cIf the father, or the mother bring a widow, has obtuined a certificate of naturalization within Canada, every child of such father or mother who, during infancy.has become resident with such father or mother within Canada, sball, within Canada, be deemed to be a naturalized Dritish subject.\u201d \u2019 From the above it will be seen that the Canadian-born German is quite excuged from taking the oath of al- tegiance to Britain.Even more than that, the German-born German whose parents have become naturalized does not need to take the oath to become a British subject.Many Germans of these two classes, particular ly the latter, have been greatly exercised because they have not taken the oath of allegiance, but the law shows that any excitement along that line, either on the part of themselves or their critical neighbors, le unnecessary.When it comes to holding property there is very little discrimination against a foreigner.The Act states that in Canada citizens of other countries, not naturalized, may acquire, hold, or dispose of real and personal property in the same way as the mnatural-born British subject, Title to the property may be acquired in the same manner as the Canadian subject.The only restriction is found in the Dominion Lands Act, which provides that an alien cannot obtain a title to a free homestead until he becomes & naturalized sub ject.He, however, is not disturbeu in the possession of any land which he may have acquired, and in all other respects enjoys the full protection of the law, A further restriction Is imposed upon the personal rights of the allen, inasmuch as aliens in Canada cannot qualify for any office, municipal or Parliamentary, or other franchise, and may not become the owner of a British ship.The Naturalization Ac* provides that aliens who have been resident for three years within the country may become naturalized by taking the oaths of allegiance and residence before a commissioner.The papers must be submitted to the clerk of the county or district court, who posts the name of each applicant in his office for three weeks prior to the sitting of the court.If, during that three weeks, no objections are entered, the applicant is declared by the court to be a British subject and a certificate of naturalization is granted.British subjects who have become naturalized in any other country and return to Canada, may become re-naturalized after residing here fnr not less thon three months.UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.Buch as Radium, the Human Brain and the Electric Fluid.Alexander Graham Dell was once asked if he understood precisely how a telephone conveyed the sound of a human voice.His answer was: \u201cNo, I only know what is done.I do not know how it is accomplished.\u201d One is reminded of Lord Kelvin's re mark to some of his professional colleagues near the close of Lis brilliant career.It

Branch.The stories that are told about George Bury, the new general manager of the Canadian Pacific, would fill many columns\u2014stories that illustrate his alertness, his bumor, his personal knowledge of the working force of the C.P.Rt, in all ranks and divisions, his uncanny knowledge of detail, which-\u2014and this one of the really remarkable things about the man\u2014does not in the least clog the swift and accurate workings of his wonderfully efficient executive ability.They say \u201cG.B.,\u2018' as be is called, sees and knows everything all along the line.As one C.P.R.man put it: \u201cG.B.has a wireless recejving station under his hat.\u201d The result is that it has become an accepted fact that It is unwise to attempt to put anything over him.He is an excellent judge of men, and has various ways of dealing with his subordinates in accordance with their individual characteristics.There is one official, for example\u2014a good, ellicient man, but in need of a litle jacking up.G.B.liked him and took a friendly, effective way of doing the jacking up, In saying good-bye to him on a trip of inspection, G.B.slapped him on the back and said: \u201cWell, Jim,\u201d only that is not his name, \u2018you're mighty glad to see me going and Lo have this inspection over, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Jim, of course, protested that he was nothing of the sort, \u2018Come, now, Jim,\u201d said G.B., \u2018when you heard last week I was coming along, didn\u2019t you send out a wire to all the section bosses telling them to get busy and throw around a little gravel and do whatever else they could to make a good showing?\u201d It was cvident from Jim's counien- ance, as G.B.saw instantly, that this was a bull's eye.\u201cNow, Jim,\u201d he said, \"you know better than to do things like that, You know that's no way to maintain discipline and efficiency.\u201d The lecture then and there administered was bitter, pointed and yet kindly.It went home.Another story of Lhe same sort which illustrates G.B.'s attention to detail and his youthful high spirits has to do with the door of a grain car, a patented affair, which be saw Jying by the side of the track, He told the ofticial whose duty it was to attend to it to have it picked up, Passing the same place later, he saw the grain door still lying by the side of the track, and still later on seeing it for the third time, he stopped the train and had it lifted aboard.Coming Lo the oflice of the man who should have attended to it, G.B.ordered that it be carried in and laid on his desk, the official in question being then out on the line.It was necessary to take out à window Lo get the grain door in, There was no need for G.BD.to leave any message with it as it reposed on the desk.In 1904 when he went to Winnipeg as general superintendent - of the western lineg of the C.P, R,, it was to find himself up against the snow blockade of January and February of that year, the like of which was never known before or after, since the beginning of railroading in the west.He was out in the southwestern part of Manitoba, working hard on the job of trying to restore operating conditions, and arrived one afternoon on an engine at Souris dog-tired.He went into the station and found a gang of snow shovelers who should have been out at work, loafing around the stove.G.B.edged in among them and pretty soon the foreman remarked that all hands bad better get out and give an imitation of a gang of men hard at work shoveling snow, as the blankety-blank new superintendent might be along from Winnipeg and would fire them all if he found them loafing around the stove, G.B.spoke up and announced that the blankety-blank individual from Winnipeg referred to by the foreman wag in their midst and that they were fired all right.Dr.Beland Not Wounded.That Hon.Dr.Beland bas not been wounded in Belgium is the good news received by a Parliamentary colleague, and the letter gives some information regarding his services to the wounded in the Dawson Memorial Hospital at Antwerp.Dr.Beland was married to a Belgian lady at Cappellem in July last, and had just started on his honeymoon when the war broke out.He was then in France, but returned at once to Belgium and volunteered for hospital service.He attended soldiers under Field Marshal Sir John French, and later witnessed the German occupation of the great Belgian port.At the time the city surrendered his wife went to Holland.When the Germans arrived he was asked to try and stop the exodus of country people, and he spoke to them from his doorstep in Cappellem.Many were persuaded to remain.Since then he has been steadlly at work In the hospital, where his services are very much appreciated.The report that Dr.Beland had been wounded came from a British officer to Mr.E, M.Macdonald, M.P.Prizes For Privates, War is not usually regarded as a money-making business, but for all that \u2018Tommy\u2019 now and then gets a chance of a prize, During the Boer War, Canada supplied Britain with a first-class contingent, and patriotic citizens of Montreal subscribed a sum of $5,000 for the first member of that contingent who won a Victoria Cross.This was won at Wolve Spruit by a gallant member of Lord Stratbcona\u2019s Horse.Flags for Ottawa Church.Norwegiun and Swedish flags have been presented to St.Peier\u2019s English Lutheran Church here by King Haak- on of Norway and the Crown Prince of Sweden, son-in-law of the Duke of Connaught.Formal presentation ig to be made later by the consuls of the two countries.How Canada Got Its Name.The origin of the name Canada is strange cnough.The Spaniards visited that country previous to the French and made particular search for gold and silver, and, finding none, they often said among themselves, \u201cAca nada,\u201d meaning \u201cThere is nothing here,\u201d The Indians, who watched closely, learned this sentence and its menning.Later on the French arrived, and the Indians, who wanted none of their company and supposed they had come on the same errand as the Spanish, were desirous to inform them in the Spanish sentence \u201cAca nada.\u201d The French, who knew as little of the Spanish language as they, supposed that the incessantly recurring sound was the name of the country and ultimately christened fit Canada, wbich it has borne ever since Many

the cellar or there is any leakage whatever to cause dampness have it attended to at once.A damp cellar, aside from being dangerous, will ruin practically all foods.Large boxes of lime should be placed in the cellar, aud lime should be sprinkled over the floor.For several days there should remain in the cellar cans of cLioride of lime in water.This purl.fies the air.Provide dry boxes for fruit, which should be raised from the floor by bricks.One brick may be placed under each corner of the box.Even barrels should rest on bricks, or, better still, should be set on long pieces of scantling.A swinging sbelf placed on iron hooks away from the wall is excellent for holding baskets of onions, potatoes, tomatoes and other tbings that one wants within easy reach.When the side walls, ceiling and floor of a cellar bave been swept and the shelves carefully cleaned you may apply a good coat of whitewash or two of them if necessary.This finished, wipe up the floor, throw open the windows, and the cellar will at once smell sweet and wholesome.Strictly speaking, cleaning the cellar is a man\u2019s work and should not be undertaken by a woman unless in case of dire necessity, but it is essential that a woman superintend the task.A mere man is apt to leave dirt In the corners and cobwebs in out of the way places.Macaroni Soup.To make this soup let a half gallon of stock
