It is the important feature of the week, and Baxter flat Is the place for it.A collision between two motor cars ocourred in front of Stanstead College Sunday afternoon.The owner of the Reo car bearing Quebec number 36966 had driven tbrough the College grounds and upon returning to the street would appear to have been watching the car accompanying his own eo intently that he ran into the Ford car carrying Quebec number 42122, The Ford driver, going north, turned to the left as much as possible, and put on speed to escape.The forward springs of the Reo struck the right rear Ford mud guard, crumpling the same and puncturing the tire, but otherwise the Ford was uninjured.The Reo springs were quite badly twisted, but none of the occupants of either car were injured and the crowd which quickly gathered voted it the most fortunate collision of the season.The Reo car came from North Hatley, the Ford belonged to Rock Island.TOWN TOPICS.Mrs.Charles E.Bennet is visiting her daughter,

attendance at the band concert at Derby Line, Thursday evening, was the largest ever seen here; 126 automobiles were parked about the band stand during the program.1200 people is a conservative

afternoon, and had to run four or five miles farther.Mr.Tilton says there was six inches of water in the road and two inches on the roof of the Methodist Church at Bolton Centre when he passed that place.We accept the story at its face value.Mr.Tilton was never known to exaggerate anything, but the church roof is fairly steep and the angle of vision may have bad something to do with the estimate, urnal.TOWN TOPICS.Mr.O.M.Carpenter returned from Bolton Tuesday.Mr.Leo LeBlanc of Barton was in town a few days last week.The Universalist Church will remain closed over the next five

Barre, a check for $10,000 to pay up a bill of a little over 87,000 for the current expenses, is both timely and helpful.That school is now entirely out of debt, has a well inveeted endowment fund of over $130,000, every penny of which is interest bearing.It has a fine faculty, headed by a principal of 20 years of successful service, and the confl- dence of the public to a rare degree.Fortunate

secondly, that the Government should make some effort to keep down the timber damage resulting from settlers\u2019 clearing fires.For the latter purpose, it has been suggested that a system of \u2018\u2018permits\u2019 issued by fire rangers to settlers intending to burn slash in the neighborhood of forests, should be tried out in a few loealities, s0 as to determine the best procedure.The Permit system has been successfully operated in Quebec and British Columbia for several years.It has not antagonized the settler, while saving enormous areas of timber.The widespread demand for a general reconstruction of Ontario's forest protection plan is finding sympathetic consideration by the Minister of Lands and Forests, who during the past year has been exceedingly busy with other special duties.The present forest guarding system of the province has been retained for a great many years practically without alteration.It is complained that the rangers, while numerically sufficient, are left to their own devices and, as with a body of artisans in a factory, cannot and do not perform their fair duty in the absence of strict discipline and a guarantee of permanent employment.Forest ranging, according to modern practice, requires skilled men and skilled overseers, or the expenditure of public money is considerably wasted.The proposals of such bodies as the Commission of Conservation, the Canadian Forestry Association and their supporters, is that the forest guarding system of Ontario be placed under a special qualified officer of \u201cthe department, who will have authority to rebuild the present service.The second proposition, as outlined by the Boards of Trade, is that the ruin to valuable timber tracts caused by settlers\u2019 fires should he put under some form of control.British Columbia and Quebec now prohibit a settler in a forested district from setting out a clearing fire , until he bas consulted a forest ranger.The ranger is nearly always close at hand and advises the farmer to pile his slash in the middle of his-clearing, not against standing timber, and not to select a dry or windy day for applying the torch.With these simple instructions followed, he issues a permit good for a number of days.The service to the settler is decidedly of value for perilous fires are obviated and the timber assets of the district as kept alive, Ontario now has no means of preventing wholesale destruction of precious pine and spruce and hardwoods from settlers\u2019 fires and the losses to the province annually are great.Timber destruction in all parts of Canada is going on at a rate which, if unchecked, must lead over 5,000 wood-using industries into serious difficulties.Ontario alone has 2,000 wood-using industries and 82 per cent.of their wood requirements are obtained within the province.These industries, distributed in nearly every town and oity, are secure than their foundation of forest materials.It is just as imperative that the living trees, which are intended to uphold Ontario\u2019s industries and pay sheets should be insured by governments against the plague of fire as that buildings and plant should be insured.When it is considered that the limit holders mutual associations In Quebec Province have built up efficient systems of forest protection at a cost of about one-third of a cent.per acre for fire protection, an efficient system in Ontario would involve little, if any, additional cost.A third of a cent an acre~for protection makes a very minute showing beside a magnificent pine forest reduced to charcoal for lack of decent care.It has been estimated that forest fifes in Canada, mostly preventible, destroy more wealth than would pay the annual interest on the last Dominion loan of 100 million dollars.\u201cSilent Sue\u2019 the Latest.Lieut.-Colonel Neil F.MacNach- tan, C.V.O., of Cobourg, Ont., received an interesting letter from his son, Sergt.Ted MacNachtan of the 4th Battery, 1st Brigade, C.F.A,, in Belgium, written about a month ago, in which he states that there is a white enamelled bedstead in the dugout which he is occupying.\u201cThe bane of our existence,\u201d he says, '\u2018is the aeroplane.We have to be very careful; absolutely no movement, when the signal is given.The Germans are using (to us) new shells called locally \u2018Silent Sue.\u2019 Two of them burst near us to-night.They seemed to slip in without a sound.The first we knew of was a bang in front of us and splinters flying about.It is a small shell, and does not seem to be very effective, - Another Forestry Battalion Called.The War Office has called for another Canadian Forestry Battalion of 1,600 men.The 224th Battalion, under command of Lieut.-Colonel Alex.McDougall, has done such excellent work in England and Scotland in aiding the naval and ship-building industries that the second battalion of this nature has been authorized at the request of the British authorities, and recruiting: will begin immediately in the lumbering districts.Lieut.- Colonel J.B.White of Montreal, formerly of the Riordon Pulp & Paper Company, and now with the 224th Overseas, has been recalled to organize and command the new rogl- ment, no more | \u201cOLD BRASS-EYE.\u201d | ® Bathing Admiral\u2019's Plunge From Dreadnought\u2019s Deck.\u201cOld Brass-eye\u201d is the nickname of a famous bard-sailing British ad- ! miral whose particular hobby is keeping a sharp watch on Heligoland.In a naval base I overheard a conversa- | tion between some sailors about the | grizzled veteran.\u2018As we came in to-night we passed Qld Brass-eye on his way out,\u201d remarked one, \u2018\u2018going j over to do a ®it of hls usual, I suppose, standing staring at Heligo- land.\u201d \u201cI wonder why be always , does that,\u201d queried another.\u201cHe | never goes out but he takes a turn round Hello.way.\u201d \u201c\u2018\u2018Yes, stands on the bridge and gazes and gazes at : that blooming pile o' rocks and never | says a word.I have passed him | often out there at that job,\u201d \u201cWe can leave Heligoland to old Brass- eye, who is as capable as he is silent, ; and a man who does not know what fear means.He must have the whole outline of Heligoland mirrored on his brain, and will need no map when the time comes.\u201d There are a stream of stories turned loose about Brass- eye, the correspondent adds, every one to his credit and his courage.He is reputed to have been more times in the water after men than any | other in the whole fleet.Even toi day he will be in the water if he is , given the slightest excuse, and in this | connection one story about him is al- \"ways good, His squadron was putting to sea one winter's night, and as he had half an hour's respite, the ' oid fellow went into his bath.While ' there he thought he heard the cry of , \u201cman overboard.\u201d No one else did.The squadron was going at a high speed, it was cold and dirty weather, \u201cand it is a fair way from a Dread- i nought\u2019s deck to the surface of the sea.But the old man never thought of that; he went over, \u2018\u2018all standing\u201d as it were, rushing straight out of his ;bath.Those in personal touch with \"him thought he was still in his bath, \u2018no one on the great flag ship missed |bim, until a cruiser, three or four down the line, ticked out the signal, | \u201cWe have the .admiral on board.! Please send some of his clothes oft | and stand by till we put him back on his own ship.\u201d The stuff men of \u2018that kind are made takes a bit of breaking.Rather a funny story is told about one of our petty officers.There was a small sick party put | ashore, and when they got to hospital | the nurses, probably for a lark at the expense of Jack, regarded the P.O.\u2018În charge as a patient.He fell in with the prank, and was given a bath, | and went off to bed in the hospital, \u2018He enjoyed the joke all right at night, but in the morning when be :asked for his clothes and permission ito get up and go back to the ship, {the nurses kept up the little game, i and pretending the sailor had gone a \"bit queer, took his temperature several times, and no matter what he | said a couple of nice girls kept tuck- ,\\ng him gently in and telling him \"soothingly, \u201che was all right, and he must keep quiet.\u201d He didn't want any soothing, but it wasn\u2019t\u201dtill the doctors came round that he was allowed to get out of bed and dress himself.DIAMONDS\u2019 JUBILEE NEAR.south African Celebration is Next Year, South African diamonds, upon which an export duty is being placed ;to help pay for the war, will soon have their jubilee celebrated.The first of these diamonds was found, and used for a plaything in 1867 by the children of a Boer named Jacobs, who owned a farm near the Orange River.It passed through various vicissitudes, fell into the hands of an Irishman named O'Reilly, and was finally identified in the same year by Dr.Atherstone, an English scientist, who happened to be staying at Grahamstown.So a movement is on foot among the few survivors of the old Kimberley diggers to celebrate the jubilee of what has developed into an important South African industry, either in 1917 or \u2018after the war,\u201d if peace has not then returned.Due Strafing the British Fleet.Near a western suburb of Berlin, the Havel, a tributary of the Spree, expands and flows through pleasant woods and green meadows.In prewar days the neighborhood was a summer resort of the Berliners, and on fine evenings young gentlemen and ladies resorting thither attired themselves in immaculate aquatic costumes, and sat in beer gardens, and listened to the strains of the guards\u2019 band.The banks of the Havel became desolate shortly after Nest nf ap nnd remained desolate until an enterprising man of some means and considerable mechanical skill conceived the idea of placing the model ships on those peaceful stretches of water, and of inviting the inhabitants of Greater Berlin to watch the manoeuvres of this fleet and its attack on the English coasts.The shores of the Havel are now the scene of enthusiastic gatherings of Berliners.If they cannot obtaln satisfying reports from Kiel, Wilhelmshaven, and Emden, they can at least behold the \u2018\u2018fleet\u2019\u2019 carrying ail before it on the placid waters of the Havel\u2014 London Chronicle.A Solution.The 16th Service Battalion North- umberland Fusiliers are cheerful fellows, and they publish a paper called the \u2018Growler\u2019 to keep them merry and bright.Here is one of The Growler\u2019's quips: (Scene: A tent.Time: 9.30 p.m.,, May 20th, 1915.) .Plaintive Boy: \u2018Orderly!

eens \u2014\u2014 The German * Officer aa a F I can make the Prussian officer clear, I can make modern Germany clear,\u201d says a writer in \u2018The New York Tribune, who is a German by birth, bas served in the German army as an officer, and who ap~ pears to have emancipated himself from the spell of his earlier enwiron~ ment.He says that the Prussian officer is Germany, the Germany whom £4 the Allies are trying to defeat in this | war, He writes of the German off- cer with understandiug and with sympathy.At birth the Prussian officer is like any other baby.What he becomes is not ais own fault; it is the fault of a system, Brought up under this system, he finds in the majority of cases, that it works to his advantage, and he becomes a supporter of it; just as the child of a Socialist, if he happened to be adopted by a mem- | ber of the capitalistic class, might well say that all happens for the best in the best of all possible worlds.The Mountai Whatever the outcome of present vegotiations with Mexico may be, the National Guardsmen are getting the training of their lives.The Rev.Lemuel Davie has been engaged to preach in the Congregational Oburch at Derby one year.He began bis duties the filrat Sunday in July.Mise Genevieve Damon, of Island Pond, bas been engaged as clerk by the industrial accident board, it having been found necessary to secure an assistant to the secretary.Lloyd Dow, of Barnet, charged with forgery, bas been bound over to the December term of Caledonia county court in bail of 8200.He is accused of raising a check for 82.40 to 840.During a severe electrical storm in Craftsbury lightning struck the house of C.E.Williams, doing considerable damage.Mr.Williame suffered a shock that made him unconscious for Prussian officer, though he is partly a short time.a dupe, has a pretty good time of it.He does not protest.The system may be bad, but it suits him.As a rule the German officer begins to learn his trade at the age of 10.By the time he is 18 he has become à sub-lieutenant, with certain principles deeply engraven.He has learned to obey the orders of his superiors without question.He has learned that the private soldier is a mere pawn; that the civilian is of still less account.These lessons are not modified by anything he may phasized.They are the basic facts of his existence, and whatever his subsequent actions may be, 80 long as | they are governed by these principles, they will be vouched for by his su- : Perior officer and by the Kaiser himself.In a sense the German officer can do no wrong, so long as he remembers what is due to the uniform | he wears.Some extraordinary things are due to it.It is the Kaiser's coat, and the theory is that an officer must bear himself as though he were Kaiser.The uniform is like the flag.If it ia insulted the insulter must perish; and, of course, an insult to the wearer of the uniform is interpreted as an insult to the uniform and to the flag.We had some hint of the sacredness of the uniform in the Za- bern affair a few years ago.The Tri- | bune correspondent gives another.A subaltern stationed near Berlin was roughly handled by a drunken ecivil- ian, who came up behind him and tore off one of his epaulets.Then he fled.The officer pursued him, and after a considerable chase caught up with the man and ran him through with his sabre, The rough died.It might have seemed a somewhat drastic punishment, but if the officer bad not killed the man he would have been asked for his resignation from the army.An insult to the officer is an insult to the Raiser, and he who fails to avenge it is not worthy to wear the uniform.This is the Ger- | man theory.Not all German officers live up to the code.The Tribune correspondent says that he has seen officers on the streets of Berlin at night shrink into doorways or lanes at the approach of an intoxicated soldier.They did not want to see him; they did not want him to see them.They feared that the drunken private might permit his natural feelings of manhood to get the better of him, in the course of which process he would be likely to say something derogatory to the officer, or even to make an attack upon him.In that case the plain and un- 7 escapable duty of the officer would be to shoot the drunken man, If he failed and his failure became known he would be discharged from the army.The Prussian officer is the child of the State.He has his privileges, such as shooting or stabbing civilians and privates.But he has his commensurate obligations.He has to dress in a certain way.He is forbidden to make any display of his wealth if he happens to be wealthy.If he has an automobile he is supposed to offer it in turn to every officer of the regiment.They are supposed to refuse.His horse must not be worth more than a certain amount.He cannot marry without the permission of his colonel, and this permission is given only when it is known that the bride has a considerable income.Certain debts he must pay immediately, the expenses connected with the service, He is permitted to run other bills as long as he pleases, and, presumably, to run through civilian creditors who present bills.He is taught that he has but one business on the Kaiser, who is his superior officer.If this is done all is done.All is forgiven if this principle is adhered to.Appeal for Women, The Minister of Munitions appeals for women volunteers to be trained for munition-making.With the London County Council and other educational authorities the Ministry has established nearly 70 free training centres throughout the kingdom, ln six weeks, at the rate of four hours a day, learners are prepared for the lighter varieties of munition work.During this time they acquire the manded for the manufacture of shell fuses, bombs, cartridge cases, and other materials of war.Suitable employment ls then found for them in munition factories at wages that average at the beginning at least £1 ($5) a week and after the first few weeks considerably more, they are em-| the\u2019 earth, and that is to do the will of \u2018\u2018machine sense,\u201d and the elementary knowledge of tools and metals de- !

calls.To those most proficient in these gawnes prizes were awarded, the prizes consisting of works on woodcraft by Mr.Seton.Among those present during the afternoon was Mr.Vail, who is passing some time at his home, \u2018\u2018Speedwell Farms.\u201d Look Over State Hatchery.Henry O\u2019Malley, formerly of St.Johnsbury, who is connected with the national bureau of fisheries, A.H.Dinsmore, of St.Johnsbury, superintendent of the government hatchery in Vermont, County Game Warden, Fred W.Hayward, Frank M.Wilson and John A.Dugan, of Rutland, recently looked over the state hatchery at Holdon.Mr.O'Malley was greatly pleased with the hatchery.They then went to Chittenden dam, where they investigated the advisability of placing large numbers of ateel head trout fingerlinge in the lake.Mr.O'Malley said that he liked the proposition and would gladly furnish any number of fingerlinge for the lake as he thinks it an ideal place for the fish, It is probable 25,000 will be in the firet consignment.On July 13, Sir Thomas White, the Minister of Finance, announced that the second domestic war loan would be issued in September\u2019 The amount, terms, and price of the issue will not be announced until the prospectus is published, it is thought advieable to give general notice of the issue now in order that the public may arrange their finances with a view to participation.DR.EUCLID B.ROGERS.Says \u201cEducate For Seli Mastery\u201d DR.EUCLID B.ROGERS, who is to lecture here on the fourth day of the Chautauqua, has some decidedly original ideas on the

from Various Parts of the Green IT MAY HURT CANADA, U.B.Legislation Would Deprive B.\u20ac, of Halibut Trade.Legislation which appears to interfere directly with the principle of bonding privilege established under article 29, of the Treaty of Washington, is before the United States Congress and is being watched by the Canadian Government, The facts in connection with it are in the possession of Sir George Foster as Acting Prime Minister.The question has to do with the shipment of halibut via the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway from Prince Rupert for points in the middle and eastern States.Formerly this traffic all went to United States railways by way of Seattle.The halibut were caught in Alaskan waters and were purchased from the halibut fishermen by supply boats sent north from \u201cSeattle, Since the establishment of Prince Rupert as tbe Pacific terminus of the G.T.P., fully a third of the catch has been taken by the fishermen to Prince Rupert, sold directly by them, and shipped in bond over the G.T.PA Canadian order-in-Council was published in March, of last year, alter to land fish free at Prince Rupert for trans-shipment to United States markets.The rail route Is just as short and just as cheap and the ocean carriage is nearly six hundred miles shorter, The new arrangement is said to have benefited the fishermen and to have provided the consumers cheaper fish.It has not pleased the United States transportation interests nor the Seattle companies formerly controlled the trade.For a year these interests bave been seeking to have the old system restored either by a revival of the duty or by some other means, and Seattle railway and fish interests have been to Washington in an effort to bring this restoration about.The halibut fishermen proposed as an alternative the establishment of a Gov- tion at Ketchikan, Alaska, but this erman,\u201d in commenting on this effort of the Seattle interests to take the trade away from Camada, said that \u201cwhen we are offered clean competition by a neighbor, it ill becomes up to have the law on them.\u201d The determined efforts of the interests formerly controlling the trade appear, however, to have borne fruit, and the bill now before Congress in the name of Rep.McGillicuddy, of Maine, provides that \u2018\u2018no fresh or frozen halibut or salmon from the North Pacific Ocean or tributory waters shall be admitted into the United States from any foreign country except when the same shall be in bond from an American port.\u201d would be to prevent the halibut fish- -ermen from taking advantage of the Prince Rupert market and would compel them to take their fish to Ketchikan, Alaska, to be bonded, the real result being that they would again have to depend upon the buyers from Seattle and trade would go back over the old route.The matter is being watched with keen interest here.Three Hundred Fox Companies.The solid and stable chaarcter of the silver black fox breeding industry in Canada is attested by the manner in which Canada\u2019s fox companies have during the past two years stood the stress and strain of war conditions, closed markets and dimmished values.Not one of the three hundred companies engaged in fox breeding has sought relief in liquidation.On the contrary, they are carrying on their business at the old stand and increasing their production from year to year.While temporarily suspending tbe payment of dividends, they have numbers of their breeding stock and added largely to their productive capacity.The pioneer silver fox breeders \u201cbuilded better than they knew.\u201d They created a hew industry necessary to commerce and capable of a vast expansion.It is especially adapted for extension in every one of the nine provinces of Canada and the ten or twelve border states great American Republic.Any farm throughout these vast agricultural ranch to its equipment.Fur farming as an adjunct to agriculture adds a profitable factor to the ordinary farm, without displacing or disturbing any of the ordinary activities.The grove or wooded lot furnishes the site and supplies the lumber for ranch construction.No farmer who adds a fur ranch to his establishment need keep fewer horses, cattle, sheep, swine, or poultry on that account.A small ranch will hardly require any addition to the number of farm help.Canada and New Zealand.The exports from New Zealand to Canada are in excess of the imports.The following table shows the value of the exports from New Zealand to Canada during the last six ycars: 1910.c0vnennnianns PRIE $ 800,510 1911.0c00sensencun000s

Distance.Many military experts have given | it an their opinion that the training of soldiers\u2019 eyesight is the first and {most important feature of musketry, jand a man who is a good judge of : distance is of much greater value on I the battlefield than \u2018skilled shot only.Not the least interesting are the {lessons for training a soldier to see \"in the dark.It is impressed upon | him that the ability to see in the dark | Increases with practice.It is found that on open level ground a standing \u201cman in khakl can be seen on an or- \u2018dinary dark night at about twelve yards, on a starlight night twenty- four yards, and on a moonlight night, , with the moon behind the observer, fifty yards.When the moon is be- | hind the person looked at, the limit of vision is about 100, yards.A column of fours moving towards the observer can be secn on an ordinary dark night at about eighteen yards distance; when starlight, at about forty yards; with the moon behind the observer, 120 yards; and ;about 140 yards when the moon is behind the men looked at.Soldiers are trained to judge distances up to 1,000 yards.Eight hundred yards is fixed as the limit for the rank and file, because it is found that the most expert shots rarely hit a small target such as a prone figure at distances over 800 yards,\u2019 even when the range is known.The standard of accuracy In our service requires that the mean error for trained soldiers in judging distances within 800 yards range should not exceed 100 yards.In judging distance tests, officers, non-commis- I sioned officers, and men whose error exceeds twenty per cent, are regarded as incfficient.In Germany, according to \u201cNotes on Visual Training,\u201d published by ;Gale and Polden, the best judges make ten per cent.of error; in Aus- jtria the average error is twelve per {cent.In France fifteen per cent.is laid down as the normal error up to [1,000 yards.In America a very prac- teal sliding scale is In vogue, where the highest

ADVANCING.Constantly advancing prices of printing paper and \u2018\u2018paper goods\u201d are causing much anxiety among those engaged in the printing and stationery business.It is perhaps only natural that manufacturers and their agents should attribute the cause to \u2018scarcity of material and labor.\u201d No doubt these forces, particularly the former, have much to do with the increase, but it is quite apparent that other influences are at work.The other day when the JOURNAL declined to place an order with the representative of a large mill not tar from here, without first obtaining prices from other manufactures, the sulesman promptly stated that he had quoted \u2018\u2018Association\u201d prices, and that we could do no better elsewhere.Subsequent correspondence lends color to the innocent intimation of an **Association\u2019 of the paper interests, the principal object of which is to boost prices.Wood pulp is the principal material entering into the manufacture of the cheaper grades of paper.Oanada is supposed to be more abundantly supplied with this material than most any other country in the world, and yet oue manufacturer, in response to the Journal's enquiry wrote in part: \u201cWe might say that the news print situation is becoming a very serious one, and we believe that the price will continue to advance untilthe end of the war, when the imports from Scandinavia will again commence, and thereby bring down the price of pulp in this market.\u201d We have been taught to believe that Canada is destined by nature to be the greatest paper making country of the world.But now we are virtually told that prices in our own country must be regulated by material brought over the seas from the comparatively un- significant countries of Northern Europe.The average man is likely to think it lucky that there are no greater trade restrictions than now exist.It would be interesting to know just how far paper prices are being affected by scarcity of materiale and labor, also what influences the \u201cunderstandings\u201d of \u201cAgsociations\u2019 are having on the market.Some years ago it was shown in the courts that a \u2018combination in restraint of trade\u201d actually existed among manufactures of paper.By invoking a special clause in the tariff which had been framed to meet such a contingency partial relief was then no promise of help from auch a source, as \u201c\u2018foreign\u2019\u2019 manufactures now have all they can do to supply domestic de- Influences of the great war have made some increase necessary The published lists of articles enteringinto the manufacture of paper, and which bwve advanced in some cases a thousand fold or more during the war, should be subject to some scrutiny.Dyestuffs do not enter into the manufacture of white or \u2018\u2018natural\u2019\u2019 papers secured.There is at present mands.and abnormal advance possible.nor is \u201cbleaching compound\u201d a serious expense in the making of unbleached news print.RUINING THE ROADS.Recent rainstorms have done considerable damage to the highways of Stanstead township.The damage is, of course, most in the hill sections.In some cases where roads have been graded and graveled to Government standard water bas started to run in the roadway instead of in the ditches.This wae noticeable to some extent ou the section between the Government road and the village of Ayer\u2019s Cliff.It would be almost a crime if this should be allowed to continue.Roadbeds on hills and heavy grades must be kept properly rounded in order that the water may be promptly di-| verted to the ditches.In a drive through another section of the township we noticed one place where, for a considerable distance, the road was being washed away because the gutter had been filled to make an even driveway to a farm residence.This is not only selfish but poor policy from the individual's own standpoint.Like hie neighbors, he must go bumping over the stones to reach town and everybody knows nothing will depricate farm values more than a rough and gullied highway.The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body.° In perfect health we hardly realize that we

leads straight to a breakdown.To correct nervousness, Scott's Emulsion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole

burying grounds\u201d of Stanstead County.Several cemetery companies or associations have been incorporated onder the laws of the provioce, and marked improvements are being made on cemetery grounds, fences and surroundings.The change bas been quite marked In the township of Stan- stead,-one of the later cemeteries to attract attention being that at Griffin.This was, within a few years,

STORM.Shortly after six o\u2019clock Saturday evening this community was visited by the worst thunder, lightning and rain storm of the season.Rain fell in torrents, thunder roared and crashed and lightning flashed in rapid euc- cession.The entire local service of the Sherbrooke Railway & Power Company was put out of commission.Lightning followed the wires into the Butterfield wood working shop, located near the 8.R.& P.Co.'s substation, burned out the power meter, destroyed the time switch and scorched the west wall, but help was promptly at hand and by the use of a hand chemical a serious fire was averted.Suspension of the electric light and power service was caused by the blowing out of the entrance fuse.The insulation was off the wires outside the Butterfield shop, a condition which favored the lightning\u2019s work.Joseph E.Perkins sitting on his piazza at the Ozro Morrill House, Maple Avenue, was floored by the shock when lightning struck a maple tree a few feet from the building and followed a wire diagonally across the street in front of the Hill livery stable to another maple tree directly in front of the Parsons house.Walter Taylor, attendant, standing in the doorway at the livery stable, was nearly carried oft his feet by the shock when this bolt ahotapaet.PROHIBITION PROHIBITS IN HALIFAX.A recent despatch from Halifax, N.8, says: Prohibition has been in force in Halifax for nearly three weeks, and the unexpected has happened, for the saloons have been shut tight ever since, and there is less of the \u201cblind pig\u201d than before.The liquor dealers had paid a year\u2019s license fee to the city, and though only three months bad passed they have not asked for the return of the balance of the money.The report of Sir William Meredith and Mr.Justice Duff on the fuse contracts was made public Friday morning.It ie characterised by docility and exhonerates the Minister of Militia from any \u2018\u2018intention to do wrong.\u201d The

States from which he and his associates gotabig \u2018\u2018rake- oft,\u201d their \u2018\u2018profits\u201d running into hundreds of thousands, Allison was noted for his promotion schemes before he became copnected with the Militia department and wae made an honorary colonel.He was the principal in the big Canada Tin Plate and Sheet Steel fizzle, a venture most unfortunate for all who were induced to put their money into it.The great pity is that the Minister should have been found in such company because such conneo- tion is sure to cause loss of confidence.The King of Italy has kept a

killed in action July 8th or 9th.Austin Hitchcock, an old resident of Magog and a veteran of the Civil War, died recently at an advanced age.Pte.Geo.N.Westover of Sutton, who went to the front with the 87th Grenadier Guards, was killed in action July oth.While out driving, Sunday, William Champagne, son of Camille Champagne, was etruck by lightning and killed.The horse was also killed.A memorial service was held in St.Paul\u2019s Cburch, Bury, Sanday, in honor of Sergt.T.E.Roe who fell at the third battle of Ypres, June 2nd.Adelard Jacques, a blackemith at East Angus, cut a guy wire which came in contact with a power transmission line while the end of the severed wire wae still in his hand.He was instantly killed.: Major D.O.Draper, 5th C.M, R,, has been promoted to lieutenant- colonel and given command of the battalion.Lieut.-Col.Draper, who belongs to Sutton, was slightly wounded when Col.Baker and other officers were killed, but was able to carry on the fight.Reid Miller of Olaranceville was struck by lightning aud killed at about 3 p.m.Saturday.At the approach of the severe thunder and rainstorm he took refuge in his barn and was struck down while standing in the doorway.At Danville, Sunday after:oon, a memorial service was held in the town hall for the late Pte.E.8.Burbank, who fell while fighting in France with the 5th C.M.R.early in June.The service was conducted by Rev.Mr.Pollock, a former pastor of the Congregational Church at Danville, where the soldier\u2019s mother, a widow, still resides.Speaking at a meeting in Richmond County last week Hon.Walter G.Mitchell, provincial treasurer, declared that the time had arrived when race cry agitators, who had made nothing but bitterness and rancor between the different elements of the population, should be put to one side to make room for men who, by their broad views and moderate language might settle many of our problems.Most sensible people will-be inclined to agree with him.Erwin A.Ticehurst and Luther Hitchcock of the Ticehurst Neighborhood, township of Stanstead, had a close call during the rain and lightning storm late Saturday afternoon.Mr.Ticehurst, on his way home, had taken refuge in Mr.Hitchcock\u2019s barn.John Bronson was also there, with Mr.Hitchcock.The three men had been together only a short time when there came a terrific crash and flash, Tice- hurst and Hitchcock were felled, one boot being torn from the former, while the latter was rendered unconscious.Bronson escaped unhurt.Medical aid was quickly summoned and remedies applied.Yesterday Hitchcock was about town, but his injured companion was reported to be in a critical condition.Both men were burned some but the greater injury was from the electric shock.The barn was not damaged.David Tailleur and Romuld St.Denis of Barford were fatally injured in a motor accident near the OC.P.R.trestle, on the Lennoxville road outside Sherbrooke, about 1 p.m., Satur- urday.Louis Verrelas, another occupant of the car was badly injured, but will likely recover.The two men first named died afterwards in St.Vincent de Paul Hospital.Three others, Samuel St.Denis, Joseph Dupont and Herve Henault, were slightly injured.The collapse of a wheel in contact with one of the rails of the street railway, caused the car to turn turtle, pinning Tailleur, Romuld St.Denis and Ver- relas beneath it.Help was soon at hand, and the injured men were conveyed to the hospital by ambulance and motor; Tailleur who was terribly injured in the chest and abdomen, died the same day; St.Denis died at 4 p.m.Bunday.Tailleur, the driver of the car, was a farmer, the other men were employed at shell making in Sherbrooke and were bound for their homes to spend the week-end.DANIELS-BAUCHARD.Mr.Nelson

friends, and as a neighbor was markedly kind and thoughtful.There are still troubles in Ireland.Sir Horace Plunkett repudiates the settlement come to between Mr.Redmond and the Nationalists on the one hand, and Mr.Carson and the Ulster leaders on the other.Sir Horace says that the (Government knows nothing about the mind of Ireland if it thinks that Mr.Redmond and his fellow members, elected six years ago, represent it, and that if it tries to force on the Irish people a settlement without consulting them through an election, it will only drive tens of thousands of naturalists into Sinn Feinism.BORN.LAMB\u2014At Stanstead, July 8, 19i6, a daughter to Mr.and Mrs.H.M.Lamb.SAWYER \u2014 At Beebe, Que., July 22, 1916, a son to Mr.and Mrs.M.A.Sawyer.Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured y

Nuon vw tienda, El HEN I, Sa OURBANTS AND GOCSEBERRIES BELONG IN THE GENERAL GARDEN SCHEME lent variety for evaporating.Berries ' are large, regular, glossy black, with grayish bloom; quite firm, sweet and of the best quality, with that delightful flavor which distinguishes the black FaspberTy.These berries give early and late supplies and will always sell at high prices to town customers.There is a medium berry also which may be worked into the program.This Lelps to make a full and profitable sea- \"son.The Cumberland is a fine, large berry, ripening in midseason.This is the largest of the raspberry family and is of such a handsome appearance that it is sure to bring the top price.Bushes are healthy and vigorous.The Cuthbert has long been regarded as the best of all red raspberries, not only on account of its fine shipping qualities, but for its size, color and richness of flavor.The plant is a strong grower, with healthy foliage.The Cuth- bert ts one of the reliable varieties that can be depended on to bear a profitable crop of berries nine seasons out of ten.St.Regis is the only variety of raspberry that gives a crop the first year the plants are set out, and it gives two crops every year afterward.St.Regis begins to ripen in June and continues to bear fruit until frost.This is truly an everlasting red raspberry.The berries are large, bright crimson of the highest quality, with true raspberry flavor.It cannot be surpassed as a table fruit.No garden is complete without raspberry bushes, and a full acre may well be devoted to berry culture.There are three distinct classes of raspberries\u2014red, purple and black They do best on sandy loam, but will grow in any soil that is falrly well drained.Set the bushes in rows about six feet apart and three feet apart in the row.The cane should be kept well cut down to five or six of the strongest near the parent plant.Cut out and burn all the old canes as soon as they are through fruiting.The Rathbun is a leading blackberry.It 1s luscious, of the highest quality, with a fine polish and sufliciently firm to carry well.A large proportion of these berries will measure one and one- half inches in length.They cannot be surpassed for table or canning purposes.The plant is a strong, erect growet and, unlike most varicties, produces few suckers, but rooty from the tips, like raspberries.The blackberry is hardy, having sustained a temperature of 15 to 18 degrees below zero without harm.By midsummer it can be trained in tree form.Cuerants and gooseberries belong In this same general garden scheme and are highly profitable.They should be mulched every spring and well pruned, so that new wood may have a chance to grow.The ground about them should be kept in good condition by manure and cultivation.Kill worms with powdered heliebore.Give plants Winter protection.LEARN TO DECIDE QUICKLY.it May Often Prove \u20aco Be a Great Help In Business Matters.In the American Magazine is the story of a successful business man who attributes Lis success largely to his faculty for making quick decisions.\u201cOnce decided, you ought not to waste time.If a man decides rightly then he has a running start on rivals who hesitate.If he decides wrongly then he has discovered bis blunder, backed \u2018up and is ready to start om even terms with the hesitating rival, for a man of decision can decide he is wrong as quickly as he can decide he | is right.Also, in a great number of cases, the man who decides quickly may fail to decide the best way and still carry it through to success and even convince others he was right all the time.This hus happened to me many times in cases where there were a number of ways in which a thing might be done.\u201cWhile we blunder inevitably I be.lleve our batting average is higher than that of timid ones, and the rewards much greater.I do not think | I have erred in 15 per cent of my decisions in business, and not in 5 per cent sertously.\u2018\u2019The great ndvantage of quick decision lles in the larger rewards that come to those who are bold, for it is bold to decide vita] matters quickly.! The timid and the hesitating get small profits.\u201d THE PILOT FISH.He's Just a Common Beggar and Not a Guide For the Shark.People who named this fish believed be served as guide and pilot, whereas he is nothing more than a beggar.Because he is usually found swimming ahead of a shark people used to think he was serving as a sentry to warn the shark when danger approached.Now we know he is lingering around for crumbs of food he can beg or pick up from the shark, yet the old name sticks, and he's called the pilot fish.There is another old story to the effect that the pilot fish warned sailors when thelr ships were nearing the rocks, and for that reason the fish was held sacred by the anclents.They thought the fish suddenly disappeared when the ship was approaching land, thereby giving the warning, The shark phase of the story was that the pilot fish accompanied the shark continually, and when the Bhark was about to take a fisherman's hook the pilot went through such contortions that the shark was warned to leave the bait alone.So instead of standing guard as a: sentry the pilot fish keeps company | with the shark to pick up the fragments of food which the larger fish ignores.A Mean Advantage.: In a breach of promise case the bar rister who held the brief for injured beauty arranged that his fair client should be so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the jury.He began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention to her beauty and calling for justice upon the head of him who could wound the heart and betray the confidence of one go fair, concluding with a peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears.The counsel for the defendant then rose, and after paying the lady the compliment of admitting that it was impossible not to assent to the encomlums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not to forget that she wore a wooden leg.Then he sat down.The important fact, of which the fair plaintiffs counsel was unaware, was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, assessed damages at the smallest amount.Just His Luck.The convicted murderer's lawyer whispered to his client what be thought would be good news.\u201cIt seems a cinch that you would get life imprisonment,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I can tell from the judge's look that he Is going to let you off with twenty years.\u201d \u201cThat may seem nice to you,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I used to be a life insurance actuary, and for n man of my age twenty years figures out about seven years longer than life imprisonment.| I always get the worst of it.\u201d How He Won, A rich old man was asked how he made his money.\u201cSimplest thing in the world,\u201d he said.\u201cI always did the reverse of what everybody else was doing.If everybody bought I sold\u2014prices wero high.1f everybody sold I bought\u2014 prices were low.\u201d Two Points of View.Mrs, Newpop\u2014Mrs.Stringer is the most candid woman of my acquaintance.Why, she frankly admitted that her baby is not as smart as ours.New- pop\u2014Candid, fddlesticks!

PRETTY ROUGH SPORT.The Game of \u2018the Bounding Brothers of the Bosporus.\u201d Many extraordinary ferms of amusement have been devised by army officers from the earliest times down to the present day, but none perhaps have more startling characteristics than the following new and original game, which Sir Robert Baden-Powel describes in \u201cMemories of India:\u201d It was introduced into the mess by a brother of our colonel, who came to stay with him.We believed him to be a quiet, harmless planter from Behar, and so be seemed throughout the evening, both during and after dinner, when he remained watching us playing the fool in various ways for our own amusement.But evidently our ways did not strike him as original, and he therefore Invited us to play the great game of the bounding brothers of the Bosporus, and when he had once shown us we joined most heartily in the sport.The game had few rules, but a cer tain amount of etiquette.The apparatus consisted of all the furniture, which was piled in a heap near the center of the room, and a writing table, which was placed a couple of yards from it.You were expected then to clap your hands three times\u2014 that was the etiquette of the game\u2014 then run at the table and turn heels over head on it into the pile of furniture, shouting as you did so, \u201cI am a bounding brother of the Bosporus!\u201d That was all.It was quite simple, but how it hurt when you landed on the upturned legs of a chair or the side of a table!

ATHLETICS IN CHINA.Canadian Who Is Director of Gymnastics and Track Work in the Far East Performed a Wonderful Work\u2014Bringing Knowledge of Physical Culture to the People of the Celestial Empire.N the larger struggle for the supremacy of those ideals which alone make life sublime, there is a leader whose name is Crocker.Who he is, what he is, needs little explanation, for there is tut one Crocker, and none can usurp the place he holds in the affections of scores of the men of Toronto and of Canada.J.Howard Crocker is home again.The announcement of his coming has already cheered the hearts of nis ;comrades of the past, for the bonds of friendship are ever green, and the \u2018 personality, the influeuce of which | was 80 strongly feit when he was in his old sphere of activity in this | country, has radiated through space from far-off China.As the physical director of the Central Young Meu's Christian Association for many Years, in the Olympic games at London, ati as the Y.M.C.A.worker and leader In various activities, this man was brought into vital contact with bun- dreds of lives, and none remembers bim but with respect and affection.Mr, Crocker has done a grand | work in the Far East.There he has spent the past five years in associa- | tion work, the last two as national secretary for physical work, In this capacity he has performed a notable service in\u2019 bringing modern physical education to that wonderful, but pathetically helpless, Empire, It was through his masterful promoting | genius that the recent Far Eastern | games were held with such splendid : success, and China made her initial | entry into athletic endeavor in a , Way that startled the whole world.To friends in Canada, Mr.Crock- er\u2019s departure for the far-off field of labor was tragic in the extreme, but, while there was always the sense of personal and national loss, the re- | ports which soon began to come in from the Far East dispelled the selfish disappointment.J.Howard Crocker had done a marvelous thing: \u2018 he had stepped out of one sphere of life in which be was an inspirational \u2019 force and example of inestimable value, and he bad given himself.10 a nation where his possibilities of service were greater a hundred fold.Hear his own words: regeneration of a nation and the \u2018bringing in of the day of robust, earnest health!\" This is the Crocker spirit.Those who have known him will look be- | ! yond the words and will see there, Ishining clearly with the bright light | them.\u2019 \u201cWhat joy to have a part in the | SECRETS OF THR CENSORSHIP.Tons of Mall Matter Pass Through His Office, That the task of the cgnsorship department in Britain is no sinecure will at once be obvious when it is mentioned that in the private branch more than a ton of mail matter is censored every week, exclusive of parcels, while four tons of commercial correspondence with certain foreign countries {8 dealt with in the trade branch in a similar time.In addition, from 30,000 to 50,000 telegrams pass through the hands of the censors In the United Kingdom every twenty-four hours.The censorship was established with the three-fold object of preventing information of a military character from reaching the enemy, of acquiring similar information for own purposes, and of checking the dissemination of news likely to be of use to the enemy or prejudicial to the Allies.All mails which have to be censored are necessarily subject to some delay, but harmless letters, whether private or commercial, are not stopped, even when coming from an enemy country or addressed to an enemy person.- It should be remembered, however, that no letter addressed to an enemy country can be transmitted unless its envelope is left open and is enclosed in a cover addressed to a neutral country.Furthermore, letters in which any kind of code or secret writing is used are liable to be stopped, even if the message appears to be harmless, or totally unconnected with the war.Altogether about 800 persons\u2014 mainly civilians who have been most carefully chosen\u2014are employed in examining and censoring mail matter, in addition to about 180 censors of cables in the United Kingdom and 400 in the Colonies.The chief cable censor is the senior officer of the General Staff of the War Office, and in addition to 120 cables and wireless stations in various parts of the Empire, he controls in the United Kingdom messages sent over the Government cables te and from the Central Telegraph Office, as well as messages sent over the cables of private companies.IRISH U BOAT BASE.Major Discovers Secret Submarine Base While Fishing.How he discovered a German submarine base on the coast of Kerry, the facts of which were reported tu Prem er Tisz Tries To A'lay Hungarian Panic Over Slav Success OUNT TISZA, the Hungarian Premier, speaking in the Lower House a few days ago, assured the members that the Russian offensive had been arrested and that there is no danger of the enemy over - running Transylvania.The Premier frankly admitted the loss of important places in Buko- ,wina, but praised the manner in which the Austrian retreat had been conducted, and asserted that the tide of battle was now shifting in favor of the Teutons.Tisza's speech is only a part of the general official came paign to allay the panic of the Hungarian people.Viewed in the light of the fact that the Russians are stil] advancing the Premier's statements are interesting: \u201cAt the last sitting,\u201d said the Premier, \u2018I said that measures had been adopted to meet the Russian offensive which would soon make themselves perceptible, and that the unfavorable events which bad taken place were only a passing episode.My hope has been

Mr.Crocker, therefore, | has wielded an influence that is beyond calculation.Leading educationalists, Government officials, and i national leaders are now lending their enthusiastic support to the pro- .gram of the Young Men's Christian Association.In all this movement, Mr.Crocker is the active spirit and .promoter and is now finding it impossible to respond to all the requests coming to him to lead in the £reat forward movement for the phy- \u201csical welfare of China's men and boys.On April 25 the Toronto friends jo\u201d Mr.Crocker gave a banquet In his honor at which the work and achievement of the past few years in China was reviewed by him.In a recent letter, he writes: | \u201cThe work here is so pressing that I hesitate to leave China even for a month,\u201d and again: \u201cI cannot help thinking of the large group of chil- \"dren whose lives would be different \u2018if we could meet their requests to \u2018enlighten their teachers in things regarding the care of

that the whole countryside was in the \u2018know.\u2019 \u201d War Nicknames.War nicknames are a curious study.Probably there never was a war which did not give rise to soma comic or offensive designation for the enemy.\u201cPicts\u201d (painted people), and \u201cLombards\u201d (long-beards) remain as isolated monuments of the Roman soldier's play of fancy.The French in the early centuries called us \u2018\u2018talls,\u201d for some rather mysterious reason.On more obvious grounds we have been known since the days of Joan of Arc as \u2018\u2018god- lams,\u201d the one epithet to which our gallant allies have remained faithful throughout the centuries.We on our side have chiefly exercised om™ wit on the supposed passion of all Frenchmen for frogs.The nature of a war, indeed, can generally be traced in war nicknames.There is nothing opprobrious in \u201cRuski,\u201d and something positive caressing in \u2018\u201cfuzzy-wuzzy,\u201d the English nickname for the brave but misguided Soudan- ese.\u2018Guppy\u2019 suggests good-natured contempt.The Boer \u2018\u2018rooined\u201d and \u2018\u2018Brodrick\u2019 are familiar, but not fn- sulting.\u2014TIt-Bits.Civilians Victims of Raids.In the attacks on the British Isles from sea and air during the war 2,160 persons have been killed or wounded.The number of deaths 18 660.The figures were given in the House of Commons recently by Herbert L.Samuel, the Home Sccretary, as follows: In the three attacks from sea 61 men, 40 women, and 40 children were killed, and 611 persons were injured.In the 44 air raids 222 men, 114 women, and 73 children were killed, and 1,005 persons were injured.The number of soldiers and sailors who were killed is only a comparatively small fraction of the total, PREMIER TISZA.ments which our German ally swiftly sent to the endangered points proved effective.\u201cTo-day our offensive is progressing and we have reconquered an important portion of the ground oceu- pied by the Russians.In Bukowina this change has not been effected so quickly.Owing to the superior strength of the enemy our army has been obliged to continue its retreat.This unfortunately has caused some important positions in Bukowina to fall into the hands of the enemy, but the retreat has been carried out in complete order.\u2018Our army is now stronger positions.tact, is resisting the enemy and Is fully able to fight.Therefore during the last three or four days the Russian offensive has halted and we have repulsed enemy attacks with heavy losses.\u201cTo-day in Volhynia our counteroffensive is progressing, and in Buko- wina and Southern Galicia the enemy's advance has heen arrested.On the latter front the strength of the forces engaged is shifting in our favor.\u201d Replying to a question regarding the safety of Transylvania, Premier Tisza declared that the Austrian army was ready to give battle in a strong position and would have the advantage of numbers.Questioned about the Austrian losses the Premier said that he could assert with justice that in all probability the losses of the enemy greatly cxceeded those of the Austrians.in new and It is wholly in- Kitchener's Will.The will

Tercentenary Year.WILL BE HERE ON THIRD DAY.Was Long a Member of Edwin Booth's Company, Playing Laertes to Booth\u2019s Hamlet\u2014Left Stage For Platform.The Chautauqua management feels a special pride in the coming of Frederick Warde to this city as one of the Chautauqua attractions in this Shakespearean tercentenary year, Mr.Warde, as is well known, has done perhaps more to popularize the plays of Shakespeare than any other living man, The purpose of his work has always been to encourage the study of Shakespeare and to remove the mistaken impression of profundity and obscurity and illustrate the beauty of his poesy, the depth of his philosophy, the universatality of his knowledge and his all pervading Christianity.Mr.Warde has been an {impersonator of Shakespearean characters for almost half a century and was for a long time a member of Edwin Booth's company, playing Laertes to Booth's Hamlet.He 18 the foremost actor of Shakespearean tragedy and is the first great actor to have left the stage at the height of his career to devote his talents exclusively to the platform.He has made scores of Chautauqua appearances, appenring only on the larger and strouger Chautauqua programs.His popularity is due, of course, to his great mustery of his work and to hls love of the people.He has thousands of admirers throughout the country, and it is impossible for him to appear anywhere in public without being met Frederick Warde., With hearty handshakes and cordial greetings.He 1s scheduled to appear here on the third day of the Chautauqua, and his subject as announced is \u201cShakespeare and Ils Plays.\u201d To the Young Orator.Mr.Frederick Warde, who is com: \"ing to this city this summer for a lecture recital at the Chautauqua on \u201cShakespeare and His Plays\u201d and who is one of the foremost actors of Shakespearean tragedy, gives this advice to young orators: \u201cSpeak every word clearly and distinctly.Do not use emphasis unless you have something to emphasize.Do not saw the alr with your hands.Never make a movement unless you have a reason for it.Never lose your temper.\u201d NEED GREATER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.Shortage of Gause and Dressings at Front Would Be Calamity.The following \u2018letter has just come from Mrs.Austin, superintendent of the Paris Depot of the Surgical Dressings Committee, written July 13th, and is of interest to all workers on surgical dressings: \u201cI am apxious that a note should appear, asking the ladies, who are so kindly sending us over gauze compresses folded in the French way, to be good enough always to cut off the selvage.When this is left on it forme a rather hard ridge in the middle of the compress, which might mean perfect torture to a very sensible wound.The wounds are so deep and so extended that nerves are laid bare, and it is necessary to obviate everything that conld possibly add to the pain and discomfort of these poor wounded fellows, who have suffered, and do suffer, so terribly.Otherwise the compresses are splendid.It might be interesting to add that Professor Reynier has found that threads of gauze left in a wound sometimes set up very \u2018serious conditions and delay the recovery of patients for weeks.Our workers will then realize how import- apt it is that all raw edges should disappear, and no stray strands show themselves anywhere when the compress is finished.The compress work is the most delicate and important of all the work we do, and it cannot be too perfect.\u201cWe are so glad to have the dressings, and they all go as soon as they arrive.We never have enough, so I hope that all the workers who leave town for their summer holidays will keep the good work going in their country homes so that the poor soldiers here will not run short of dressings at any moment.If, as expected, we have a big offensive on this side, we shall need double the quantity we are sending out now.I tremble to think that there may come a moment when our supply, owing to the holidays, may run short, and such a moment might come when things are most needed here.It would be terrible if we could not live up to our standard of quantity and quality when these brave troops are making their great effort.\u201cWe need piece gauze here terribly.I do hope you can beg large quantities of it for us and keep np a geady supply in each shipment.It may sound absurd, perhaps, but I bave spent almost sleepless nights over the gauze question.We ran out completely two weeks ago.We had not a metre in the place, and we had 27 orders to fill.Happily, a friend came to the rescue, but even with her help we have had to run only at half pressure.Now famine stares us in the face again.Won\u2019t you please do everything you can to get it for us?\u201cI want our friends at home to re- alire that now and in the next few months is more than ever the time to help.Everything is giving out here, and everything is very expensive.Besides which, the war has lasted so much longer than anyone ever dreamed of that funds are going out, too.I conld double and treble the numbers of our hospitals any day if I dared to do so, but even now, asl watch their increase weekly, I ask myself \u2018can we ever do it, or is the day at hand when we shall have to refuse?\u2019 We have over 620 hospitals on our list, and many of these are full to overflowing with the Verdun men.\u201d JUVENILE TEMPERANCE WORK.An interesting meeting of the L.T.L.was held Wednesday afternoon.The new officers for the following month are: President, Geo.Cady; secretary, Randolph Hubbard; Treasurer, Margery Chapman, A lesson from th - Engine\u201d was that pcupic : k beer, wine and whiskey are not tus:ug good care of their hearts.Alcohol makes the heart beat taster, but weakens the force of the beat.It also robs it of its resting time.Smoking upeets the heart and so interferes with athletios.The next meeting will be at the Congregational vestry, Wednesday, Aug.2nd, at 3

has been retained by the bilingualists of Manitoba to fight their claim for equal rights in the courts of that province.Recently a young Winnipeg lawyer, J.Dubuc, son of the late Chief Justice, filed a statement of claims in the Manitoba courte written in French.The officials, under advice, refused to accept it and a mandamus has been issued to compel it to be accepted.The case will be heard in September.Mr.Ewart was counsel for the Roman Catholios in the famous Manitoba school question case.IMPROVEMENTS AT RECTORY.Mrs.Hepburn Pleasantly Surprised Upon Return from Vacation.Mrs.Hepburn has just returned after ber yearly vieit to her brother, John Tuck of Knowlton\u2019s Landing.Her two sons, Willie and Harold, were with her; and for a few days a very valued friend of the family, W.R.McLaughlin of New York.It is need- lees to eay how merrily the time passed In this truly ideal spot, with ite great bathing and boating privileges.À holiday is to be prized according to the contrast to the ordinary life.Gliding on in a canoe over.peaceful waters, under the light of a silvery moon, with no fear of the midnight hour, ie a glorious change to those who are often weary.Mrs.Hepburn, after ten days of this, returned on Monday with plans carefully laid to make things hum.When the door was opened, and she was ushered in, she stood at halt, and wondered, for her home was in the hands of others, and a bountiful lunch wae ready, awaiting her arrival, She walked from room to room to see what improvements bad been made, beginning with the kitchen, where much needed.She was so eurprised and overjoyed that she found it hard to speak.New plastering and paper, new shelves, and drawers so convenient, and all as neat as a new pin.Nothing now to do but to enjoy one\u2019s self.The secret had been well kept.A few of the kindest friends in the congregation, after their happy succees by the food sale, saw their way to brighten the parsonage, and give cheer to those who occupied it.Those who greeted Mrs.Hepburn were Mrs.Bixby and Edith, Mrs.Edmunds, and Mr.and Mre.Chas.W.Stevens.Mr.C.W.Stevens is one of the Wardens this year, and he has certainly risen to bis office nobly\u2014repairs to the walls, the church, the sheds parish room, then the cellar of the parsonage, building a new concrete bin for coal\u2014and now, in addition to all these, by his own hand making the kitchen and pantry a model of convenience and comfort.But the ladies must have done a great deal of hard work also, to secure the effect produced.There was something to rest the eye and please it everywhere.Mrs.Hepburn is & woman of rare energy, never sparing herself, therefore she is all the better able to appreciate others\u2019 work, and to put upon it its highest value, when done for herself.Sbe is perfectly well aware of the kind feeling in the con- gregation\u2014yes, and in the community, toward her and her family; and it is one of the best supports to her in discharge of duty; but the expression of that kind feeling last Monday was so real and beautiful that it leaves a mark for life.It ie a \u2018\u2018red letter day,\u201d indeed.ITEMS OF INTEREST.In Ontario, hay, the province\u2019s most valuable agricultural asset, has been harvested in good condition, but rains are needed there for later field crops.A Néw York hotel, according to an article in the \u2018American Magazine,\u201d pays $10,000 a year extra in wages to ite employees to get rid of tips.It claims to have effectually rid itself of this nuisance.Sir Ernest Shackelton, the Aparctic
