Turks, is têi bulletin, which gives no indication of the actual condition of alTairs, claim to hav'e put the Majestic and Triumph and the French cruiser Jeanne d’.\rc out of action on Tuesday last, the French vessel leaving for Tenedos in Tiames. A Brit- ish destroyer, it is claimed, was also sunk, and two teauaports repeatedly hit. As the Triumph bombarded Mai- dos so recently as Thursday the Turk- ish report is not true in regard to damage done to her at all events.

The startling statement is made effi- ^ ciaily that Dunkirk was on Thursday

shelled by heavy German artillery, and not, as at first believed, by German warships. Nineteen big ‘shells were

, thrown into the city, and twenty persons were killed and 45 wounded l/v the bombardment. What monster wea-

' pons have the Germans brought into action, and where are they located, that shells can be dropped ‘rom them into Dunkirk i If it were not for the damage done and the toll of lives taken the thing would seem i-rrotesque-

' ly improbable. The nearest flerman ' positions in the vicinity of Nieuport

are at least 23,900 yards fromDuiikirk. The weapon which the Germans used must, therefore, have an efficient range of over fourteen miles. It is eit.her a naval gun or one of the largest of the new Krupp siege guns emplaced Fome-

, where in the sand dunes iiearNieiiport. If it is resting on a good ccncrete bed

, there is no reason why it should not shfell Dunkirk daily till the petition it

’ occupies is taken by the Allies. The British^ scouts evidently know v. hero tile gun is, for the official b'dletin

me Rus- ; sians have resumed the Initiative, j They gained an important ta-ftical * success on Friday, when on -.he top-

most heights overlooking the ; ass in the road from '^ry to Munkf.cz they Captured some mountain, guns.

A German submarine on ‘Saturday sank the old British destroyer Rnruit off the Gallopi'r Lightship, in t.hcNorth Sea, but the score was more than equaled by other British destroyers, which, after a stern chase, overtook and sank the two German torpedo boats that had accompanied the submarine on her cruise. Some of tlio crew of the Recruit were rescued by the trawler Daisy, but as the -jubmarine fired on the fishermen they were compelled to leave the others to tlieir fate. The British destroyer rescued

'most of the crews of the German torpedo boats, and two officers wove picked up by a pasîg .steamer am! taken to Holland.

i Besides those incidents in the North Sea, the German submarines continued their operations off the Scilly Islands and, in addition to torpedoing theAm- erican tank steamer GullUght, the captain of which died of shock and two

' men were drowned, sank the French ' steamer Europe and the British ' steamer Fulgent, the captain of the ' latter vessel being shot and killed.

There has been no further bombardment of Dunkirk, svhich would seem to* indicate that the Germans had only one gun in position, aud that the

‘ French airmen ha^■e made it so uncom fort able for the gun crew that it has been withdrawn. A\S a reply to this liombardment the French have brought emo of their big guns to bear on one of the forts on the south front of the fortress of Metz. Along the rest of the western front attacks and counter-attacks continue, but no battle of im- portance has developed out of them.

It appears that the lYirkish report that the Asiatic shore of the Darda- nelles is free of the invaders was correct, the French having simply gone ashore there to make the landing of the British on the other side easier, and, this accomplis’no<l, having withdrawn, doubtless lo land at .some other point.

♦|* ^ With the casualty lists «iuring Satur- V Sunday tot.alIing up'\ards of V ~50 more officers, non-commissioned of-

\ • fleers and privates killed, wounded or *5» ' missing, t hei'e. have been heavy add-

itions to the recorded loss among the Canadian forces in the recent terrific fighting in which they won undying glory near Ypres.

It is now understood that the Can- ^ adian loesi'S in killed, wounded or , taken prisoner as a result of that I fqur-day engagement w ill not be short j of 6,000, and in regard to this the ! next few days will toll the tale as every day brings its fresh loial.

I TUESDAY. Beyond the admission in the Pe-

trograd official communication that a despatch battle has been engaged in since last Saturday night on the front from the lower Nida river to the Carpathian mountains, no further ne%vs has come through concerning

' the fighting in which both Berlin and ^ Vienna claim a victory.

England and France make no claims ^ to any gains, in the west, the British contenting themsehes with saying that thoGerman attacks on the scarred Hill 60 in Flanders have been beaten back. The French corilirm this.

The Germans maintain that thej* are pushing forward to the north-west of Ypres, and toward St. Julien village, which they captured after the attack following their first extensive nse of gas, but which they wêre forced to yield under counter-attacks.

In the fighting in theBaltic provinces also, Berlin finds cause to rejoice. Re- jecting the Russian contention that it is only a sporadic cavalry raid, Berlin wireless comment received tonight says it seriousK- threatens the Russian right, and the fact that troops could.^

•be moved so far north-east before they encountered resistance is considered a reflection on the Russian intelligence system.

A number of vessels, neutral and otherwise, fell victima to German submarine.s, Norway being a particularly heavy loser. ' ^

LATER NO'I'ES.

Berlin announces that theentireRus s;au front in West Galicia has beer, crushed. South of Milan 1,T0<J lûs sians were made prisoners. The enenn is now fleeing, adds Berlin, and as yet the trophies of victory cannot be estimated. Austria corroborates this announcement and reports in addition that a total of 8,000 prisoners have been made in GahTia, where the Rus- sian forces are fleeing before the vic- torious Auslro-Cerman armies.

!

'Phe Russian War Office is silent re- • garding tlie reported defeat to its ar- | mies in West Galicia, remarkjTig only j that there has l>een heavy’ artillery ; firing along the Vistula. The German ' advance through tl>e Baltic province is : not held to be im|Jortant byPetrograd , where it is officially said that thcGer- man objective in this new campaign is ! by no means clear. The opinion is | hazarded that its aim is to rut off ' Warsaw from the base of supplies. *

'] he Britisli Admiralty announces i that 2 officer.s and -14 men of one of , tlie two torpedo boats sunk in the ! North Sea Saturday were rescued hy the BrItLh destroyers which p.arti- j cipatod in the fight. As the German | torpedo boats went down, Gorman of- j fleers were shooting their men as they Iei»pod iuto the .seai> killing them rather than permit them to oecome pris oners of the British. I

The allies are reported to be advanc ing toward the Narrows at Hie Dar danellcs under their naval fire. Th♦^ Turkish War Office con.tinues to issui statements that the allies have been repulsed at all points.

Paris reports tliat the Gormans aw* again using asphyxiating gases in their attempt.s to advance, about Ypreîi All attacks haVe beem repulsed.

Reports received from Dunkirk, via Amslerdam, claim that tlie Canadian^ ha\e again been in actir»n, and that on Friday last they had to surrender their trenches.

“On Friday morning,” says the message, “the Germans beg/,n an attack aided by a northea«terl\- gale for the use of gas clouds. Although the Cana<lians gallantly fought with their bayonots,. the Germans fin.Ilv took possession of the trenches, but only at tke price of verv heavy losses.

• “Six German airmen supported their artillery. Two of them were brought

' dowix carlv in the morning, and Lieut. Mobor and soldier aviator were made

' })risonors. The whole district from Zuidschore, through Y’’pres to Wyt-

^ schaete, has been evacuated by the civil population.”

' Military preparations are l:>eiug made for the defence of Peking. According

' to Chinese officials, wlxose statement have been corroborated in other cir- cles, the Government is making no pre

' parations elsewhere than at the capital for defence, considering that the Chinese will be unable to oppose tho •Japanese should they make an attack

' I is asserted in high quarters that one hundred thousand troops hav*

' been concentrated in the environs o' Peking, but with sufficient ammunition for only a brief resistance.

Special police and military precau tions have been taken throughout, the city, especially around the winter pi.

, lace, where President A’uau Shi Kai resides. 1 lie officials declare that th^y are suspicious that the -Japanese may attempt a rep-J(fitien of the Korean coup d’etat.

The Japanese I.egaticn, it is said, no’ilied the* Japanese yest-. rday to prepare to leave Peking, and ?ixat rr-k.n\ women and children are getting rca.dy to depart.

The German and Austrian WarOffices combine in announcing a great victory over the Russian armies between the Vistula and the Carpathians, Aus- tria claiming that 30.009 prisoner.» have been taken, while Berlin adds tliat the enemy has been routed along this entire front.

PBtriotic Meeting at Alexandria

An enthusiastic meeting for the purpose of stimulating recruiting was held in Alexançler Hall, here, on Wed- nesday evening. Mr. Hugh Munro, M. P.P., acted as chairman, and filled the post in a capable and efficient manner. In his opening remarks. Air. Munro ex- pressed his satisfaction at the large numlxîr present. The object of the meeting was to stimulate enlisting in this neighborhood. He deplored the fact that the martial spirit in -Glen-

' garry was on the decline, but felt sure that when the young men realised how much they were needed they would not be remiss in their duty.

Air. A. Gordon ATcDonaid and Sgts. Thompson and Shepherd of the 'T2nd Highlanders, Montreal, favored those {>rôsent with apj)ropriate songs. Miss Grace AIcDoiigald recited “TheAddross to the Gorniana,” and the programme was further enlivened by pipe music aiul a Highland reel by members of the 4*2nd pipe band.

Air. J. S. Brierle.y of Alontrcal, addressed the meeting dealing particularly with the responsibility of (.’anadians during this national crisis. If they only reali/êd the danger, and their duty in averting it, Canadians would no doubt rally around the flag in ever increasing numbers.

Major Bartlett AIcLennan of the 42nd Highlanders, in a thrilling and patiio- tic address, assured all present that they must not look upon the call to arms in an impersonal manner. The call came to each one now.

Air. A. K. AIcMaster, barrister, in the course of au inspiring address, appealed to the men of Glengarry, many of them the descendants of brave men who foiiglit at Bannockburn, whose an- cesters, whether British or French, fought with valor on the field of Wa- terloo, to do their duty as God and their conscience told them.

A vote of thanks to the visiting speakers was proposed by Air. J. A. Macdonell, K.C., and seconded by Mr.

^ E. H. Tiffany, K.C.

j The meeting came to a close with the : singing of the national anthem.

Bishop McDonald, of Victoria, Welcomed

A very pleasant evening was spent at Alexander Hall here on Tuesday of this week. On the occasion of the visit to this diocese of Rt. Rev. Bishop Ale Donald of Victoria, B C., the local Knights of ColumbiLs decided to hold a reception in honor of this distinguish ed prelate.

An impropmtu programme of excellent quality wîfc presented to a large and representative audience, and Bishop AIcDonald in his short “I’alk” as he ealled it, gave those present condiserable information asAo conditions in Western Canada, ills T.ordship related several interesting and amusing incidents, which occurred during his visits to the Indian tribes along the Fraser River, and gave a hj.storical. review of ATctoria diooesc. Being of Highland descent. Bishop Mc- Donald, soon turnad Iro his exper- iences when in Scotland last summer, and spoke very feelingly of the depo- pulation of the Highlands.

The concert itself was -of a Scottish character, appropriate songs being rendered by Mrs. I). A. AIcDonald and Mr. A. Gordon AIcDonald> Highland dancing by the Alisscs AlcPhee and pipe music by Pipers A. I). McDonald

‘ and Duncan AIcTvinnon, appealed spe- j ciaily to the Scottish element present, ' while some good recitations, suitable ; to those wariike times, were delivered

Giengarrians in Casoalty Lists

In the heavy casualty lists that have i:een announced to date the names of the following Giengarrians appear :

CAPTAIN ARCHIE R. MACGREGOR, MISSING.

■ of the most popular officers of that regiment. He is the youngest son ol the late Air. and Mrs. Alurdoch Mao-

' Gregor of Alartintown. His .sister, Mrs i A. J. Robertson, resides at the North Ikanch, while Mr. D. J. MacGregor of

I the King’s Road, is a brother. Cap- I tain MacGregor is a cousin of Mrs. I. j B. Ostrom of this town. He is a tho- I rough soldier and had always taken n I keen delight in forsaking many plea- , sures in order to place his company in I the front rank in drilling and shoot* I ing. Captain MacGregor campaigned j in the South Africa crisis, and was I specially mentioned in despatches for I his heroic efforts. When the call came ! for volunteers, he was among the first I to abandon a good position with the ! Rice-Lewis Co., Toronto, to go to the I front. In his last letter to friends at Toronto, a little over a week ago, he briefly referred to some of the thrill-

I ing adventures through which his re- I giment had passed.

j West, and immediately enlisted for active service. His mother, Mrs. Neil Me-

! Coll, now çesides in Ottawa,

by Miss Grace McUougald. Mr. F. T. Costello, barrister, filled the position of chairman, in his usual efficient manner. A vote of thanks was tendered

' Bishop McDonald for his interesting ' address on a motion by Mr. -John Mc- I Leister, seconded uy Air. Donald A. M.acdonald. The evening was brought

J to a close by the singing of GodSave The King, and Auld Lang Syne.

Tile Premier s Silence “Premier Borden was seen in regard

to the subject, but d(3clined to make any statement.” This is an extract from the.Ottawa report of a C’onser-

.vative contemporary dealing with the 1 dificussion as to whether 'the general ' election wliich a section of the Con- I servative party is endeavoring to I spring on tlie country should or should ; not be held. Premier Borden is Dur- I suing the same course that he has pur- I sued all along. When the war started ' a political truce was declared, and Lib- I erals joined with Conservatives in un- I animous and who^-hearted efforts to ' support the Mother Country in the ‘ great fight for international righteoua- ‘ ness, for the maintenance of publiclaw

and for the very existence of the Em- pire.

i The Hon. Robert Rogers immediately saw in this unanimity of feeling a

j chance to spring a general election and I capture another terra of offioe by flag- * flapjiing. He aud his' colleagues began , to agitate for a gep'ral eleîon, and thus to cause un^ ' <s and suspicion throughout the cc. ■ i . Premier Bor- den could have stopped this agitation^ but he preiciTed to let the election- mongers continue their (Hsoreditabl* work. Now that the casualty lists ar* beginning to bring home to the country a sharper realization of the life and death struggle in which we are engaged, the people are calling on the Cabinet’s election squad for very shame to stop their selfish plotting aud agitation.

'j'lie Montreal Board of Trade, which is fairlv representative of the business iuieresis of Montreal, and is composed of a large proportion of Conservatives has now joined the appeal to thePre- mier to realize hia duty and perform it. They telegrapihed to him Thursday characterizing the proposed election as “deplorable both from a patriotic t\nd business stnndpofct.” The very fact that such a body of men sht.uld take this .step shows that in Conservative as in Liberal ranks, the Premier's silence, in the face of the outspoken demands of certain powerful elements ol his CVabinot for au election, is cons- trued as meaning that he is a party to the plot bv which it is proposed to “pu^ one over*’ on the country at this critical jiJbcture in its history. If there is one man in the country to whieh the people ought to be able to look for the word wliicli will exalt the national spirit, and silence the political tricksters in this time, of national peril and anxiety, surely that man -should be the Premier !

General Election Probabilities

Ottawa, May 6—The idea of a general election this year has not been abandoned. The date has probably been shifted from June to September. The Government believes, past exper- iences l>eing considered, that Septem- ber is its lucky month.

Outside the hunch that the mooth they came in on is the month they ought to try it again, the party has •everal other good reasons for favor- ing September. By that time the war will be over or the end of it will be in sight hearts- will be caught on the rebound. The sense of relief will be so great that (’anada will return the Conservative Gcjvernment to power in spile of its shortcomings. This the- ory, which leans heavily on the reflex action of public opinion, is being loud- ly proclaimed by the pyschologists in tlae Cabinet and the party at large. The Honorable Bob Bogers, who is not a psychologist but a plain everyday politician who wants an election when he wants it and not thr(!e months af- terwards, sayà that this is all piflSe. He hasnH much use for an outfit of psyôlogists who can’t recognize the psvchological moment when they see it.‘

All sorts of arguments have been employed to persuade the Minister of Public Works that September is the month of destiny but to all such arguments he has substantially replié : '*Why did you make me Minister of Public Works if you didn’t trust me to kpow when to work the public V* Whicli is a riddle that takes a lot of reading. The Minister of PuolicWorks, so the Honorable Bob Bodgors argues, is generally ut there to keep hisear to the ground, to know when it’s time to back up and when it’s time to get out and holler. Ho may 6e short on psychology l)ut he is long on human nature. He can always tell when the boys are hungry and when it’s hard to hold them in line any longer. His acquaintance is with the workers of the party and' the workers naturally inform him when the chances are l)ost to turn another trick. Why is the Honorable Bob Minister of Elec- tions, ex officio, if his advice is not taken ? It’s a sore touch for Bob. He saw a chance got by last fall. Is he to see another one go glimmering ?

By virtue of his position . as the clearing house of party politics, the Minister of Public Works faces the facts and faces them first. When Sir Richard McBride visited Ottawa not long ago, he hied him straight as a homing lîigeon to Bob Koger’s office. Although he had business with jthe other Bob who heads the Government he saw Bob Kogers first. Then the two Bobs got together, thus making a pair of Bobs—and they told Sir Bichard that it was going to be hard sledding and that he hadWterput his elec- tipnfoF another year because British Columbia, as H stood, could not- do ■better for the Conservatives and would inavitablv do worse if it start^ something. This explains why British Col- iimbia is hung up by the seat of the pants until the Ottawa Government is ready to take it off the hook.

Similarly, it has been the fate of the Honorable Bob to listen to the tales of woe from Manitoba. The feet of him who oringeth bad tidings from the Roblin Government with its wobbling majority of three or four have worn holes in the carpet in Bob Roger’s inner office and it’s Bob Rogers that knows it. His colleagues don’t seem to realize how important it is that the election be brought on while the Man- itoba election machinery is in friendly hands. But the Minister of Elections does. He knows what a hoodoo Dr. Montague is. He knows how near the edge the Roblin Government totters and just how long it will last after the Royal Commission to investigate graft in the new parliament /buildings gets going, it will last, ac</ordlng to the Hon. Bob’s calculations, just about as long as a feather does in a certain place not mentioned in the railway time tables. There was some ver^ coarse work done up there and Sir Rodmond Roblin would never liave pried into it if the lieutenant Govern- or, who is a liiberal, hadn't pushed him at it. Rumor has it that the Honorable Bob is so little sure of his own popularity in Winnipeg that lie has offered to take over Sharpe’s seat in Lisgear if Sharpe should be disposed to retire from public life. The point is that the Winnipeg bunch who claim to have learned their tricks from Bob, are looking for a goat and Bob may be it. On the other hand, the Honorable Bob is not a man who waits for punishment. IJke the Ger- mane, he wants to begin the drive fii^t.

Common sense, as you win observe, is with the Honorable Bob in desiring an election before the Borden Govern- ment gets one eye in Manitoba .and another in British Columbia. Common sense, we repeat, is with Bob but the extraordinary circumstances are against him. The extraordinary circumstances are the war and the Gov- ernor-General—they'Outweigh evea the prospect of aT)oor crop in the North- west and the probability that the longer the people reflect on the lumy scandat and the graft tarilT the v orse they wffî feel against the Borden Gov- ernment. The Honorable Bob’s political instinct is to grasp opportunity by the forelock, to snatch thé flower victory from the nettle defeat—a migh^’ small flower, by the way, and a migh- ty big netile—but the concensus of opinion in the country is against him, not to mention the Duke who is above parties and represents honor, deccncv and a number of things like that, ft is inconceivably that His Royal High- ness, who is more concçmed with the dignity of the British Empire and the fair name of Onnadg than he is ^YÎth the tactical advantage of either party should sign the warrant for a general election l^fo»* the lists for the unor- ganiaed tearritories are re^dy. The Duke does not lend himself to thimble- rigging games. As the lists for the territories cannot be ready beforeJuly, a June election ib said to be out of the question. Some people say Boh

might as well have cried for the moon jus June. 31eanwhile he has hired bill- boards, 'uought up cab drivers, laid down concrete emplacements and shown other signs of frightfulncss in

{ anticipation of the dread event, j In various ways, the Honorable Bob j has tried to rush his colleagues off

thehr feet. If they listen to the pro- j tests of decent people all over Canada against an election in war time, also

1 to the still small voice of conscience, they will temporize. They have not I)romised anything Imt they have not made any bad breaks. They have not set a date but they have formed a hope. That hope may spell Septem- i)er. The Honorable Bob is a great man for fixing a time limit. The Min- ister of Public Works will be the last manto go over to a Micawber policy of waiting for sonu^thing to turn up. If the war collapses, if the Allies win an overwhelming victory—then an election, but if not September and then some, perhaps. That’s as near as the good guessers can make it.

I In the closing days of the session, the Honoranlo Bob, used the “injustice and tyranny of the Senate” in ap- pointing six scrutineers "to hold a straight election on the battle front as a rod to chastise his enemies in the Borden Cabinet, According * to Bob, the people were denouncing “in tones of thunder’: the dissolution of a Par- liament that couldn’t handle the Sen- ate any better than that. The tones of thunder, coming by way of Bob Rogers, whose oratory makes firecrack ors of lightning flashes, did not impress the House of Commons to the extent which might have been expected. In fact, Premier Borden wore a quizzical smile ali through the thunder-storm and this was taken to mean that Bob would not get his own way Perhaps he won’t. Hence his insidious remarks.

It becomes more apparent daily that the plan to take the votes of the soldiers at the front is neither practicable nor dignified. Bnisliing aside the possible objections of tnc? British GoveiTiment and General Joffre to dis- tractions which might slacken dis- cipline and interfere with the success of the war, it is ausurd to think that, the soldiers would' interrupt their head long charges on the Germans to droj) a ballot for candidates not named, on issues they know nothing about. Th»- duty of the scrutineers, as laid down in thcrAct, is to get the uallots o’ the soldiers. It is not stated anywhere that they are to bring away German

J bullets, which is liable to happen if they get near cnougli to the firing line to hold a competent election. Besides, there is always the danger of a shell putting the ballot boxes out of business. Moreover, the ballot boxes run

' extraordinary risks of capture and de- tention on their way back to Canada, such risks being not necessarily from

‘ the Germans. The only perfect ballot box in existence, a ballot box nobody

‘ can beat, has been offered for the last twenty years to the Governments of both parties and the inventor’s head

j has turned white with discouragement. And even his f;allot box, supposed it

j should be used, is not built for war conditions.

I The opinion gains ground that the soldiers at the front will vote—when they get homej but not Jjcfore. If they

• get home by September, there may be [ an election then. If they don't get , home by September, there may be an election or there may not. Meanwhile

^ the casualty lists continue to come in , and it would be an insult to our soldiers to consider them in the light of a

'sporting event. There is probably no- uody in Canada so callous as to count

I deaths with a view to their effect on the voters’ lists.—H. F. G.

Root Out I The Grafter

There must be no mincing of words in connection with the uncovering of the war graft scandais before the com- mittee of public accounts at Ottawa. C’anada has been shamed and disgraced in the eyes of the British Empire. At a time when every subject of Hie Ma- jesty in the most important of his overseas Dominions should have been devoting his best efforts to “do his bit” toward assisting the Empii-e ' in its liberty, there have been found men base enough to steal from the public treasury; men who have grafted on the very bandages recûired to bind up the wounds of our gallant sons ; men who thought only of personal profit at the expense of our brave boys who are offering their lives in order that the British Empire may endure.

Those grafters have been plotting to enrich themselves over since this fate- ful war commenced. Under cover of a patronage system which was invoked to stifle competition, these vultures have been fattening at the public trougii. The very soldiers who offered their lives and volunteered for overseas, have been used as pawns in the greatest game of graft ever uncovered in a civilized country-.

The people of Ctinada cannot look on unmoved. There is danger to the very fabric of our country in the continu- ance of the system. It is the accursed patronage system which made the thieves—not the thieves the system. A system which has been so enlarged and developed under Sir Roljert Bor- den’s administration that not a single Liberal militia officer was permitted an important position with the first Con- tingent ; a system w'hich in spite of Sir Robert Borden’s personal pledge has flooded the public service of this country with a host of inii^mpetent 'I'ory heelers for whom no work can be found ; a system whicli mocks at com petition and rgÊes it easy for the grafters to furnish si)urious goods at an inordinate profit.

However unpleasant, we cannot wink these facts out of sight. We have fall-

•en upon evil days. We must have courage and strength to pluck this accursed system out by the roots. We must teach those grafters such a lesson as will last them the rest of their natural lives. We must point the moral for generations to come and remove the sore which threatens the very founda- tion of our national existence.

Wo should bo neither liberal nor Conservative nt this time; we should be Canadians all. Canadians who love and take pride in' their country and integrity at home, as well as her lib- erties a'broad. A pretty farce it is to send our bravest sons overseas to crush militarism in Europe, while we bow the neck to the grafter at home. —Halifax ' Chronicle.

Weights for Vegetables It does not appear to be , generally

known that the Dominion Governmenl last year under the title of ‘*An Act to

I Amend the Inspection and Sale Act” passed a bill fixing' standard weights

' for vegetables, which came into force on January 1st, 1915. These standard weights per bushel are as follows :

I Artichokes 56 lbs. Beans 60 “ Beets 50 “ Blue grass seed * 14 “ Carrots ; 50 “

' Castor beans 40 “ I Clover Seed..,. 60 “

Hemp seed 44 “ ; Malt 36 “ Onions 50 “

, Parsnips 45 “ , Potatoes 60 “

Timothy seed 48 “ Turnips 50 “

I Weights per bag are Artichokes 84 “

: Beets 75 “ Carrots 75 “

I Onions 75 “ I Parsnips 66 “ ' Potatoes 90 “ I Turnips 75 “

j A barrel of potatoes, unless a barrel of specified size, kind or content by

I measure is specially agreed on, must contain 165 Dominion standard pound-

‘ of potatoes. j Any person selling or offering for sah I by the bag any of the vegetables speci-

fied above, in case such bag does not contain the number of standard pounds

I mentioned, is liable to a penalty not J exceeding 825 for a first offence, and

for each subsequefrt offence a penalty not exceeding ^0.

A number of instances have beeî brought to mj- attention where dealers have been purchasing can ots and turnips by the bushel from vegetabie growers and deraanfling 60 instead of 50 lbs. to the bushel.

I Tories and Senate To even a casual observer of the

trend of public events it is quite evident that the Con-servative party in the proposed election is going to make the Senate the target of its political battery. .Some days ago the master of elections Hon. Bob Rogers paid a (lying visit to Manitoba to consult with hi.s followei‘8 and while there in frenzied terms denounced the Senate. His purpose is visible without the use of a lens. The chier campaign manager notes the public resentment to the carnival of graft and in looking for a means of escape, selects the Senate. The attack on the upper chamber is a political ruse. However it is too palp- able to delude the voters. The reputa- tion of Mr. Rogers in the matter of election contests is not of such, an an- gelic variety as to mave people take serious stock in his utterances. Be is taken at par value. Scheme as he may, an outraged people are today astound- ed at the maladministration at Otta- wa. Blaming the Senate will not remove the stain. The stench of the odor remains. Nothing but the powerful an- tiseptic of public opinion will redre.ss the unenviable condition at Ottawa. The voters have the remedy and may ue depended upon to apply it wlum the opportunity is given. Stagnation and graft are rampant in Canada.ITie

I fault lies on the threshold of the Bor- den Cabinet. Canada when the grafters took office was prosperous and contented. A T.il>eral aggressive policy made it such. Xo sooner tha» the ad-

' vent of Toryism took place than the old days of retrogression and extrav-

' agance superceded the good times. , The Government remained passive while the high cost of living soared. Industries were handicapped for want of business. Employees were thrown out of employment altogether or work* ed on shorter time. Industrial condi-

- tions did not warrant more employment The Government failed helplessly io

I graîp the situation. It was too much occupied in handling the spoils of office. Retrenchment was not made but

, in its e.very dejiartment of service huge , increases in expenditure were exploited to enhance the part^’’s positicn, Re- alizin-.'' its guilt, the Goveimment en-

, deavors to blumo the Senate, Its on- j ly a cry. A mantle with which it

•j hopes to cover its incompetence, trick- ery and iniquity. T.et any person consider rtie attack on the Senate, Let the C’onservaf ive party point out where it was in the wrong. The Tory p_ress arid politicians in its impatrio- tic Course of holding an elecllfm refers to the Highways Bill alleging that the Senate killed it.

Ontario Girl Tells of Poles’ Oistress

Conditions in the battle zone in Poland are infinitely worse than in Belgium, according to Miss Margaret Cross of A anklcek Hill, who has just returned from Austria, whore she was detained from the outbreak of the war until about a month ago. Miss Cross is a professional violinist, and was studying in \Tenna and at Ifisek, Bo- hemia. She is now visiting her un- i cle, W. H. Dwyer, 630 Roslvn a^'enue, Westmount. j

^ “In Poland,’, gai<l Miss Cross to The Star, the country has been.ra- * vaged by the advance and retirement of Russian, German and Austrian ar- J mies all winter. The peon's are des- , titute in large areas of -ne country. !

^ The suQerings of the German and 1 Austrian troops from the bitter cold ! have been intense. Thousands have j frozen to death. This is especially true of the Austrians, who are not as well equipped as tbc Germans. In tlie fall, the Austrian troops suffered greatly from dysentry, because their ' food supply was short and the men | often had nothing to eat but green stuff they found in the fields.”

! liOHEMIA ANTI-GI'RMAX. ' i ' Bohemia, wliere Miss Cross was studying when the war broke out, is

' strongly anti-German in seniimeut, but is compelled to take part in the war by the Austrian Government. The Bohemian cities in many cases refuse to celebrate alleged Austrian

’ and German victories, and Bohemia has been threatened with punishment for disloyalty when the war is over.

' “The misery this war is causing in Austria cannot be i*ealized here,” said Miss Cross. “In Bohemia, where the men went to fight against their will, the position is especially sad.

. Wives and mothers let their sons go because they were compelled to, and

■ there was no patriotic sentiment | beliind the sacrifice. T’he town where

' I was has auout 20,000 inhabitants, ] ' and .the wounded were being brought ’ in thei-e at the rate of from fifty to 1 t two hundred each daJ^ Many of the ' <

I women look years older, since the ’ war started.” | ' ' • ' ! I Miss Cross denies the statemeait

that Austria is starving, although ’ . certain commodities, such as salt and

' cocoa are becoming very scarce, and | ' : prices of other foodstulTs a,*e going * up. Austria has enough men for her ‘ i

war needs, but has no money for equipment, and is short of ammuni- ^ ' tion. Already there have been two ' ' emergency war loans, to which the | '

be«n profitable to a large extent only on cheap land where grass is th# chief feed. Now prices have advanced so, that it is possiule to make beef production a paying proposition on 8200 an acre land. In fact the industry is more regarded from a different point of view than was the case twenty years ago. To make clear the situation as it is in the Western States and in Canada as well the Wiscon:=in College of Agri- culture has issued the following bulletin in question and answer style :

What are the advantages of raising beef ? Ikef farming requires little labor, needs little or no expensive equipment is the best means of using large areas of untillable land, and returns to the soil practically all the fertilizing value of the feeds used.

What are the beef breeds ? fi'he i.ieef breeds are Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen Angus and Galloway. The Red Poll is the leading dual-purpose breed. Which one to choose will de- pend upon personal choice and Iccal conditions. !

What is a good beef- type ? In general a good beef animal is blocky in form. A short broad head lall that the experienced feeder needs to see in order to pick out a good feeder) a short thick neck coupled to a short, broad, deep, low set body, 'vith a straight underline. The butcher wants an animal that will furnish the largest percentage of choice cuts with tho least waste. Hence, he wants a short, broad back, with a wide thick loin, broad thick thighs, and a deep full twist.

How can beef cattle of the right type be secured for feeding p.ii'poses? The most common way has been to buy feeders on the market. This is rapidly being replaced by home breeding of cattle. Good beef cuttle can only bo produced by the continued use of well bred beef cows, of carefully selected pur»br«l buUr

Preparing tiie Garden soil that la ts Id mmà for veg-

etables should be thoroughly prepared before planting, .says a recent bul- , letin by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. A deep seed ued is desirable, and when an> area that has never ueen plowed more than four inches deep must be used it should be deepent'd by graduallv increasing the depth of plowing for a period of three or four years until the desired depth is attained. '

Thorough preparation by plowing, harrowing, rolling or dragging will lessen the work of cultivation. It is not sufficient to smooth and level the .surface ; the pulverizing skould e.x- tend down several inches.

The soil for vegetable growing should be rich and well supplied witli humus. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer, because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An application of twenty to thirty tons of manure to the acre is very satisfactory, and on some soils this application will need but little rein- forcing with commercial fertilizers. The manure shoiild be applied far enough in advance of planting time to allow it to decay. Where coarse manure is used, it should be applied in the fall and turned under, but well rotted manure should be applied after plowing and should be well mixed with the soil by harrowing.

Seasonable Hints Only early chicks make early lay-

ers. Hatch your chicks from six to seven months before you want eggs ; therefore, get things into shape for early hatching.

Breed onlj- from healthy birds. Se- lect a pen of one-year-old hens, and mate with them a good vigorous cock- erel. Mate one male with ten to fifteen females. Mate these for breeding aboTit two weeks before you want to save eggs to ineubate, and do not allow male birds to run with the rest of the flock.

If leas than a hundred chicks are wanted use natural means. Arrange to get hens in a house by themselves.

Set eggs as fresh as possible and do not let them become chilled before setting.

Dust the hens with insect powder before the, chicks hatch.

Set several hens at the same time, but be sure they will stick to business before good eggs are put under them.

A weil-ventilated cellar is a bettor place for the incubator than a dry- room upstairs.

Follow the _ manufacturer’s directions, but do not forget that the best machine ever made will not bring chicks from eggs laid by weak stock. Do not allow damp chicks to drop into the nursery tray. If the incubator becomes too full it is better to 0|)cn the door and put the dry ones below.

Clean and fill the lamp regularly, but after, not before you have tum^ the eggs. If the latup smokes take olV the heater and clean the flues, and do not attempt to light it again until this has been done.

Do noï jar the eggs, specially during the first part of the hatch. Test twice on tho ^hth and seventeenth days, removing infertiles and dead

USE OF LEGUMES. On many soils it is advisable t(

apply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphates, in addition to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the area will be sufficient. Sandy soils often need' a little additional potash, which can be applied economically in the form of muriate or sulphate of potash at the rate of 200 to 400 pounds to the acre. An application of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will give the plants a start in the spring, before the nitrogen available.

I soil is well supplied with humus. In fact, large quantities of fertilizers are I justified only where the soil is in good mechanical condition. Many soils

I ihat have been in cultivation for a j long time are in a poor mechanical I condition, and need humus, which can

be supplied by turning under green ‘ crops or coarse manure.

■ If from accident, eggs become cold during the latter part of the hatch, do not throw them out until you are surethe chicks are dead.

I Keep chicks in the incubator for j from twelve to twenty-four hours j after hatching, and clean and disin-

fect the machine before putting in other eggs.

I Have the brooding coops ready before the chicks have hatched ; thoroughly clean and disinfect before using them.

I Outdoor brooders for incuoator ' chicks are not satisfactory early in ' the seiLSon ; a small hover placed in-

side a well built colony house is better.

Have everything warm and ready for the chicks, with the heat up to

, ‘^5 to 100 degeees Fahr., and keep the heat under the hover about this tem- l>erature for the first few weeks. Bet- ter too much heat under the hover than too little. If chicks crowd give them more heat ; if they pant extend their quarters rather tLan lessen the heat under the hover early season.

Heat and quiet are most essential for the first few' days of the chick’s life ; feed spraingly and preferably dry.

The average yearly production of every dairy herd can be increased. This can be accomplished either by the purchase of better cows or by the iniprovemeut and development of the present herd, 'to endeavor to improve the herd by the purchase of better grade stock is not generally practicable. It is costly and often uncertain. Good grade cows are not

Many dairymen can increase their eases are many times introduced into the herd by the purchase of new stock. Blemishes may appear after the purchase, and on the whole it is not generally the safest or the most economical way to improve the herd. Most dairymen will find that the safest and most iuoxpensive me- thod of increasing their average yearly production is to improve and develop the present heid.

There are four factors that enter into the improvement of the herd— the man, tbe feed, tho cow and the bull. ITiless the man is interested and likes good stock, is a good care- taker and a good feeder, he cannot expect the greatest improvement in the herd. He should decide which dairy breed ho w’isheS' to keep and use bulls of that breed only, the dairyman will know the exact average yearly production by feeding a more nearly balanced ration and one better adapted to th-- cow’s lu^ds.

For S3'stomatic improvement a record should be kept of tho milk and butter-fat production of each cow, so that at the end oft he year, When it becomes necessarj* to sell production of each cow in his herd, provement over the dams than is a some of the animals to make room for young stock the records are in. valuable in deciding wdiich onis to sifil. The records are easily and satisfactorih' obtained in the co-op- erative cow-testing association..

The bull is probably the most important single factor in the improvement of the dairy herd. He is re- pi*esented in each offspring. The proper selection of a bull is therefore very important. In selecting a bull thefi production of his dam, granddam and more remote ancestors should be carefully inquired in-

an- sire im-

to, as a bull of high-producing oestors is more likely to be the of daughters that will be an prokement over the dams than bull which is purchased without any regard to the performances of his ancestors. Although such a bull may cost more than one with no lecord, yet he will be the^ cheapest in the end. He should be health\', have a good constitution and good confor- mation.

Onion Growing Onions do best on a light loam soil

rich in plant food. Light loams can be worked to better advantage than heavier loams and do not dry out so badly during Summer. An abundance of available {>lant food is necessary if profitable crops are to be obtained' and consequently a sod that has been ma- nured for several seasons previous should be selected. The land shouiii be free from stone and weed seeds.

The fat globules in milk '■try greatly in size with the breed of cows. The composition of 'he fat which make.s up these globiiles de- termines the quality of butter which may be produced from the milk. Some feeds produce fats in milk which have a low melting point, while other feeds produce fats which

, melt at a higher temperature. lin- seed meal, gluten meal and alfaUa- have a tendency to produce a soft outter fat, while cottonseed meal, cottonseed hulls and corn sto/er produce a butter with a high melting point. The exces.sive use of cottonseed or cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls will give butter a tallow flavor, but when fed in eoniiecrion

' with alfalfa hay or bran has a Lene* ficial effect upon the quality of th«

I butter in giving it more solidity, due to the higher melting point of the fat produced from it. Butter fat

' is made up of a number of oils, somo of which are volatile and ot.iers non-

' volatile. The volatile oil makes ' about 7 or 8 per cent of the fat, while the non-volatile oil amounts to about

^91 or 92 per cent. If butter is melted and poured into a tall bottle, the

' different fats will separate to some extent, and the difference in the fat can\be noticed after it has stood for a few days.

I The percentage of butt-r fat in I milk is quite variable with different cows, and it also varies more or leee

I from day to day in the same cow. ^ A cow usually gives a verj' poot quality of milk for a week or two

, after calving ; then the butter fat ^ becomes practically normal and re- ^ mains so for a period of four or five ^months, after which it increases _ somewhat in the richness ,ofûtt#f ^ fat. It will also vary more or I between the first and last milk drawn I each time the cow is milked ; the j fif’st milk is somewhat low in but- ^ ter fat, while the very last drawn from the udder will be very rich,

j Any undue excitement of the oow ^ will have a teudencj* to disturb the . percentage of butter fat in the milk I A dog running through the bwT»ya«l and chasing the cows, an 'irritai^'

âttendant who makes a grôat deal ^ of unnecessary noise, a change of J milkers or a change in the weather,

may be the cause of the variation of jthe percentage of butter in tie eow’e milk. The longer between the milk-

I ing periods, the lower the per cent. J of butter fat, but the more milk.

of butter fat; but the more milk. ^ The shorter between milkitig periods , tho higher per cent of butter lief, _ but the less milk.

Such variatins, when they do oO- cur, will usually be accompanied t>y

„ a decrease in the flow of milk at tto unfil his daught- ' particular milking. The change ol Tf their records might produce a temporary

variation in butter fat percentage^ but it is impossible to produce a

' permanent variation in the butter ^ fat by anj’ change in the feed the cow is getting. In other words, it is impossible to increase the per cent of butter fat in a cow’s milk by increasing the amount of grain in her ration. It should be remembenred, however, that an increase in the leed, will usually result in an increase» of the total amount of milk pi-odi»/5od, and consequently gives an iucreàw* in the total amount of butter fat.

BABY BEEF. How is baby beef made ? Only low

down, well br^, early mayuring, high quality calves make- baby beef. These can only be secured by using purebred bulls on carefully selected cows. Baby-beef production, the most profitable form of beef farming, means good l)lood and high feeding. The calf is well fed to tho timeof mar- keting. The advantage of baby-beef production are : it eliralnates the gambles, is a cash crop insuring quick returns, less capital is recpiired, When to market : Study ' market makes use of the home-grown feeds conditions Carefully, shipping to a ris- for fattening, and increases the Capa- ing market whenever possible.

has a good deal to do with the welfare of the chi#k. If tlie chick’s parents

' are well-bred birds with good heakh and lots of vigor, then the chick is likely to b« healthy and vigorous, says M. A. Jull in The Weelily Witness. On the other hand, if the parents are

' weak and diseased the chicks are nearly always weaklings. Thus we see, that to a very great extent, “like produces like.” Most of those quali- ties possessed by the parents are passed on to their progenj*.

St. Raphael’s James Bain, Esq.

On Friday morning, April 23rd, ! there passed away at his place one of the last of the stalwart Glengarrians,

: who lived in the [lioneer days of ' Eastern Ontaeio, in the person of i .James Bain, or "Uncle Jim,” as he ' was affectionalely called. He was in ' his 89th year at the time of his death. ; Born in Strathglass, Scotland, in

1827, he emigrated with his parents ^ and his older brother, Alexander Bain, from Scotland to Canada in the early forties. I'he call of the clan.s

' drew them to Glengarey county, ■ where their own native Gaelic was al- ’ most the only language spoken at the

time. The hills of St., Raphaels remind ed them of their own heather- clad mountains, and there they decided to cast their lot. Upwards of 70 years ago the two brothers acquired 300 acr(;s in a block, and with their own strong arms cleared and rulti-

' vated it. The result of their efforts ; is seen today in tlie magnificent "Bain Homestead” about a mile and

' a half west of St. Raphaels church. ' After a time .lames Bain went ’ south-west into what was then known ' as the lumber woods of Ohio, where he engaged in lumbering operations and acquired a considerable c.jmi)c*t- ency.

He returned to St. Raphaels later on, but when the C.P.R. w*s Imild-

■ ing, the lure of tho west attracted him, and for some years he was employed in (‘.P.R. construction, prin-

' cipally in bridge and trestle buildiîTg. His last employment in operations of

Choir Concert A Success The Parish of the -Saerc'd Heart,

.Uexandria’s Fren< h-C.'anadian Parish, has eveiw reasim to feel proud af the musical an<l dramatic taient displayed by its members in the course of the entertainment staged by them at Alex- ander Hall, here, on J'hursday and Friday of last week. .A. concert was provide<) which from the rise of the curtain till the last number was finished could not fail to please and interest the largo audiences present on i.'Oih occasions. J'he seven-piece or- chestra which accompanied the voices throughout was another pleasing feature and it added considerably to the succe.ss of tlie entertainment, .diss Grace McD(»ugald, who kindly assisted, openoJ the programme with an inspiring recitation. This was followed by a number of solos-and choruses by various members of the Sacretl Heart Choir, the choruses being sung in parts. la all there wereâbout .50 voices and the manner in which all harmon- ized spoke voUun(?s for the assiduous efforts e\[}ended in preparing for this entertainment. This part of the programme w-as followed by some excellent exhibitions of step-dancing which won much well-deserved applause. A little one-act comeJy in I'rench entitled ^‘Wanted an .\ctor” was also very well received and evoki'd considerable merriment. But the feature uliich shone above all otliou was a pbiylot entitled “J'he (Quixotic Quak- ers,” which j,rought the programme to a close. This pfaylot brought forth what was probably the best singing of the evening while the theme of the play was fme which would appeal to the audience in a special manner. In a word th»î entertainment was an un- qualified success, and nnstinterd praise is due to the director. Rev. J. IV. Dulin, and to all tho.se who took part It is to hoped that this will not be the last oiHhese entertainments, as they prove even more enjoyable to the people than many of the concerts put on by outside talent.

hoold IgriculturE BE . Taught In Oor Bcliools

Professor McCready of the Guelpli Agricultural College, the well known advocate of the teaching of agricul-

' Lure in the Public au4 High Scliools, ! visited the Alexandria Public, Separ- * ate and High Schools on Monday af- , ternoon, and gave v(.*ry intcr(?aling addresses to the pupils and deacher.s. In the evening be met the High School

, Board and a number of those interested in the school, concerning the bene- fits of teaching agriculture in theHigh School as a part of the course of studies. j

i He clearly pointed out the advant- , ages of teaching agriculture, which may be summed up as follows ; A country has five sources of wealth—

’ forests, furs, fisheries, minerals and the soil. Other sources of natural wealth, ■

’ such as water power are of no use except in relation to these. Of thèse na-

, tural sources of wealth the soil is not only the most important at present,

I but it is becoming more and more so, ' ' while the others are uecoming gradu- ' { ally used up. Bv far the greater nuni* ■

ber of the Canadian people obtain , , their living from the soil, and it is I timelhat every pos.sible means should be taken to promote the most import-

I ant industry and the’ means of livelihood of. most of the people. I he most

■ effective way of doing this is by teaching in the schools. In places such as Denmark, the State of M.inncsota and. many others, whore this lias been prac- tised, marked advance has .been made. With the systems of better drainage and better methods, the products of a farm can be easily doubled.

, The agricultural product is the main- stay of Canada’s resources, and the meaning of an improved condiiion and

. a wealthier country should appeal to ; the patriotism of the Canadian to i make our countrv produce as much as ; possible. ! The cause of the bo^'s leaving ftie I farm has been due to the lack of I knowledge of the best methods of iai*m ijHg and an understanding of the advantages of the agricultural profes- sion. Agriculture is a man’s work, and'as no other offers a means of de- riving an interesting, useful and inde- pendent livelihood. Successful agriculture depends more on mental direction than on physical force, and the. right place to give this information is in

^ the school. ! After the lecture Professor AlcCready ans^verec! que^stions arising from his remarks, as an outcome of which he strongly advised the school board* and others connected or interested In the welfare of the school to employ »wery means to have aîgricultiwe ad- opted in the school ciifriculuin and to urge the Education Department by jKitition and every other pos.siblo means, to make a more definite ar- rangement for agriculture on the course of studies.

Azotes of thanks were given to Pro- fo.ssor MeCTeady for the many prac- tical ideas in the course of his remarks.

As a child Lady Sarah. Hjwr#?*- in the semi-regal state of Castle duiing the viceroyaîtjr cT father, the seventh Duke of borough.

DAXDIES IN WAR.

Dress Fighting Common aoongh In the Peninsula.

Dandies were much in evidence in the Peninsular War, and an officer of the famous Light Division has recorded how some of the officers were “rig- ged out in all the colors of the rain- bow. Some had nfsy-bralded coats;

ithers brown; some again liked blue; and the comical appearance of r.

imt^r of Infantry officers loaded aiitfii' leather bottoms to their panta- ■eons, and huge chains suspended ntom the side-buttons, was amusing ~aough .... The ‘cut-down’ hat. ex- eetl; a span in height, was another mge; this burlesque on a chapeau fM usually topped by some extra

jrdlnary-looking feather”! The Duke of Wellington, however,

sever troubled what his officers wore, •a long as they brought their men In-

■teet into the firing line with sixty Monds of ammunition apiece; and 4Me of the chaplains,, known as “The Vlghtlng Parson,” always wore a red teasar Jacket, whilst during the Bat- 4c of Vlttorla Gen. Pteton wore. In- stead of the usual cocked hat, a mond and very old hat, and carried ■fa. huge white umbrella, lined with ■veen.”

In the war against the American webels In 1777 Sergt. McGregor, of ê old 42nd Foot, seems to have iMen allowed to dress himself as 4toagh he were going to a ball instead of a battle. For, unlke Capt. SDrawley, who donned the oldest clothes he could find to fight In at

■400, the dandy sergeant spent siderable time over his toilet,, rally appeared In "a new jacket liver lace, and large sliver buc-

. in his shoes, and a watch of JC value.” A sturdy rebel, his

Avarice excited by the sergeant’s at- lUre, attempted to carry the latter mit on his back; but the sergeant turn- «d the tables neatly and captured the sebd.

When the 10th Hussars were Iwonght hurriedly from India to re- teforce our army fighting in the Crl- savA, it was found necessary for them

be sUl dressed in plain clothes and merched thus across the Arabian de- sert to Alexandria. But it is doubt- <■1 if any regiment has ever been ^dressed more strangely than the old Vertsea Volunteers who, in 1797, swore gold and scarlet cords, golden weoettes, feathers, cockades, white -waJatcoats, “gold wings” (to quote -the ofiScial description), and “frilled «kirta largely figured.” Hence their .eriekname, ’’The Golden Goldfinches.”

TastetuI Ways to Serve Oranges It U a great mistake to think oi

oranges as ueing edible in only one form. Of course most ler- sons always have eaten them raw or drank the juice, but there are so many difîerent and delightful ways of preparing oranges for the tabh^, ana so many uses to which they can be put in cooking, that for the one who never has tried any of these a ploasant^surprise awaits.

In the first place, for those who eat the fruit raw, it must be re- membered that each piece should be thoroughly washed in cool water be- fort lieing sent to the table. Every- where health authorities are warn ing people against eating fruit of any sort that has not neen washed, for in the handling and ex- posure- for sale dust and germs are bound to collect on the covering.

TO SERVE FRESH FRUIT. Oranges, like all citrus fruit,

should be cut with a silver plated knife. Steel never should come in contact with rind or pulp. If the orange is to be squeezed a wood or glass squeezer should be used. If cooked nothing but granite or earthenware utensils should be employed. Never permit fruit acids of any sort to be placed in the contain ers. In serving oranges. uncooked,

j there are several attractive ways, among which are the following :

A Talk with Mothers | It has been said that one should live ^

two lives to live one successfully, and j no one bewails the impossibility of a second triai as the conscientious mother. Only as the years pass has she learned the wants oi her little ones, but if she is earnest in her high calling she usually meets with success. The first right of a child is that it should be happy. The thoughtless mother fails to make her children happy from a lack of appreciation of their unhappiness. What more pitiful sight on a hot summer day than a crying child stiflled with flannel often with a veil across its face, and the

I mother wonders that her l>aby is cross j The vanity of a mother is one of the most patent causes of unhappiness to her children. The child’s hair is long and beautiful, out in the heat of summer it is maddening when- left loose on her neck heating her poor back and bringing forth tears a dozen times a day. Braid the hair tightly or even twist it on the top of the head when the days CTOW long and dreary and hot. Children that cry a good deal and are irritable should be subjects for thought on the part of the parent, lai’ the clothing comfortable, is. the food what it should be, does the child ac- quire sleep enough ? Do not make the mistake of clumsy, ill-fitting sices, | tight bands for. summer time, for they make your child misrable. |

Plenty of sleep will tend far toward making a happv disposition. Children that go to bed whenever they choose, that fall asleep OJI a Couch or a corner of a room are much to be pitied. One need not be surprised that ihey are irritable.

Children are never happier than when mother will yday with ’iiom. The hide-and-go-seek in the liome v.ith the small boy or girl is a delight that is never forgotten when the boys and girls have children of their cwn. Let us laugh with our children ni d be young with them. Do not take them too seriously nor fear to lose control over them by relaxation. The nervous mother is a hardship to her children, for, iiTitability on her part develops the same attribute in them. In a nervous, overcharged atmosphere in a home there is little peace, quarrels are frequent and punishments the onier of the day. Ruskin says such a Lome is one in name only. “It is but a part of the outer world which you have roofed over, and lighted a fire in.” How can a mother hope to develop patience and forbearance in her children when she continually loses patience. She is their model and if she fails them, is it any wonder that in their childhood there is little happiness ?

One of the subtile rights of children is to be reproved and corrected in

private. Children are degraded and humiliated by public reproof—their pride so humbled that callousness aud bitterness is the result. The punishment of children, is one of the sad ne- cessities towards their oring'mg up the least sympathetic mother will admit but.lbere are punishments that defeat their «id. Whipping '•hildeen I C(n- sider a relic of barbarsm. ’Ji-erG is

' something humiliating in I be s|>ect- acle of a grown man or -wôman whipping a little child. A healthy child' is, usually obedient; and naughtiness and revolt are often due to overleeding, ir- regular meals or lack of sleep. Pun- ishment that deprives children of Pome promised pleasures or makes prison ers of them in their room for a time is always best. It is questionable if sending a child to bed’ is iidvisable. 1'he bed should represent peace and rest, if it is made a souroe of reproacii there can be no surprise if there are tears at bed time.

Flagrant disobedience, though rare in children properly brought up, must oi course, be followed by punishment, if future submis.sion is to be e:'P«cted. ’J’he wise mother is a little ’jlrad ot times and does not see all ‘hat goes onin her children. Too much government and the never ending "don’t” have spoiled many a childhood. A judicious letting alone never hiU’ts children.

Breaking the child’s will, called, is, happily, now obsolete. Mothers who study their children appreciate that a girl’s will is her capital stock for life, and if she is cowed and punished for its possession, this attribute for sue- cess is likewise weakened. A .strong will demands careful directing, but to break it—a performance tliat always admits of question — merely develops lasting resentment and morosencss. A child may early be taught responsibility. He shoulcl have his own posses- sions and be responsible for the care of his toys, picking them up at the end- of the day, and when no longer interesting they should be given to less fortunate children. The young girl who has not been taught the meaning of mine and thine is the one who dons her mother’s gloves as soon as they will fit her hands, takes hand- kerchiefs and other belongings of sister and mother with no thought that she is but appropriating what is not her own. How can one wonder that such disregard for the rights of others develop later on into more serious dis- honesty. Very small children are usu- ually generous but they have à right to their own belongings, they will quickly divide their toys and posses- sions if necessary. Excessive generosity in children is not rare, but such bestowing lasts but a short time, and

; to teach the growing- boy or girl to have a generous bearing toward all things is quite another matter. To this end even the small child should have his money aliow-a nee each week — if

' onl^- a cent, ■from this he may give to charity, or buy a toy for the birthday of sister or brother. But the money must be absolutely his to implant real generosity in his young heart. But habits of children give not a little un- easiness to tha mother, but if not ac- centuated by continual reminder they

' often correct tliemselv©K. A girl, perhaps, has grown too fast and is not quite erect, continual directions, however, to straighten up and to throw back her shtnilders never yet have attains to the age of corsets in the tendency, but rather 'to increase it. And so the child is endeavoring to throw her shoulders back throws her stomach -1 hq^ figtire

being then made infinitely w'orse. A healthy degree of pride will straighten her when she gets a little older -and attains to the age of cordets in the case of a boy who squints his eyes or makes faces, seemingly without knowledge of the fact, a doctor should ba consulted. T'he remedy is never found in continual correcting as this will merely make the child so self- conscious that the fault—if fault it be—is increased. Awkwardness in a child is often much better for letting alone' the child being made sensitive in the extreme by a continual reminder of his deficiencies. The study of children in the home is a lesson, never ending until the children are grown past the mother’s care. So many different temperaments are present that the mother’s heart fails her often- times. The child that is over-religious; the morbid child ; the child that is always extreme—what wonder that almost superhuman wisdom is needed to meet such issues ! A morbid child that loves solitude should be called from her room on some happy pre- tence of helping mother or playing her favorite game — any cause that will unconsciously keep her away from herself. The over-religious child should be carefully watched ; there is no tendency that gives the thoughtful mother more anxiety for she realizes that to know just how to guide such a half-grown child is to be wise, in-

\ deed. It is nevw difficult however, ’ to impress the fact that long vigils or excessive religious reading is not of itself religion, or a necessity to a religious life. Children love to talk of spiritual things and thejr guidance in these matters is one of the difficult tasks that fall to mother's R t.

BPEAQ Sweet as June Me

The large amount of milk in it and the hiph quality of flour and other ingredients make it taste better, keep fresh longer and give more strengtf and nourishment than anv other.

I sailed from New York on tbe 10th of April as lirst mate of tbe earner Pelican with a cargo wbicb was to be sold out at Medlterraueau ports. We reached Naples on tbe 5tb of May. having disposed of ail the cargo except a few things that we sold there, and took nothing aboard, Intending to load up with Arabian goods on the African coast. The purser went ashore with money he had taken in for the goods we bad sold, got it changed into gold that would pass readily in the places we expected to make purchases, and it was brought aboard In bags.

We had a promiscuous crew of white and copper colored men, the latter having been picked up on the Medi- terranean coast, while the former had come from the low grade of sailors one will end ill the shipping districts of Kew York. Since we were not loading they had nothing to do, and when the bags of gold were taken aboard a idt of them were looking over the side of tbe ship. And from ihe weight of the gold and the clinking of the coins when a bag was placed on the deck it was plain to them that they contained money.

I noticed an expression on the faces of several of the wôi'st of the crew which indicated, to say the least, covet- ousness. I mentioned the matter to the captain, suggesting that bringing gold alioard so openly was throwing temptation in the men’s way. lie pooh- poohed the matter, and. having warned him, I did not press it further.

That evening a liberty party went ashore. We were at anchor in the bay of Naples, and the captain concluded to let all tlie men go. while he and I and the purser remained on watch This again seemed to me to be takinu

risk. Naples is noted for tbe crimes committed in and about it If we had nothing to feaindirectly from the crew we had something to fear from those to whom they might talk about the gold they had seen carried aboard th^' Pelican.

Tbe bay of Naples Is probably the most beautiful bay in the world. At any rate, I have In my voyages visited many, but none other impressed me In tbe same w’ay. The night we lay at anchor There 1 remember as more beautiful than any other ! have sp'Mit. A full moon stood in the heaven^?, lighting up the city.

Culortuiiately \ve were at some distance from the <hore or any other vessel. Une or two .'■hips had been near us when we an- c-liortKl. but they had sailed or docked during the day.

While I could not tell who these men were. I presumed that they were Ital- ians who had hoard the crew talking ill Naples about the ti'casure In the ship. Quite likely some members of the ci-ew had been heard talking about the practicalnllty of boarding tbe Peli- can, seizing the gold and making off with it. There was no time to con- jecture who they were. Our main business was to stand them off.

Don’t fool yourself! Not every man who is broke is uuworiliy of bis man- hood. *’

It's just the other way with the chap noraiit of what had appeared to me, worth while, and .lack Uuford was and since 1 had no time to enter into an explanation in words I decided to do so by a shot. 1 put a ball in among the men huddled together in the boat That I hit some person or persons was evident from the fact that there was a commotion aboard. But tbe rowdng was not long interfered with. A jab- bering in -the Italian language followed, but they did not reply to my fire. 1 attributed this to their having intended a surprise and that they had not expected to attract the atlention of the police by the sound of firing.

My companions were by this time convinced by ocular demonstration that there was mischief in the boat near us, and both blazed away. But the boat was under the bulwarks, and we were obliged to lean over to see her. We heard one clear, composed voice, evidently that of a commander giving orders, but since we did not understand tbe Italian language we were ignorant of what he said. This convinced me that we were attacked by a party of brigands under a competent leader and would all be murdered unless we could drive them off.

Tbe Pelican's crew had gone down Into their boat by means of the wood- en steps roped together, used for taking on and letting off pilots and such other purposes. It was hanging ready for them when they should return. I would have pulled It up on seeing a suspicious boat approaching, but had not time. Tbe brigands began to climb it Captain WalnrigUt claimed tbe position to receive tbe first man who came up. The bandit must use his two hands and could not very well fight hls way' on to the ship, but be was protected by a man in the boat, who threw a knife at the captain, which struclv him In the chest I pushed him away and took his place. A knife whizzed by my ear so close as to clip off enough of it to draw blood, but I succeeded in landing a blow on the head of the top man on the ladder with the butt of my revolver that dropped him.

His fall disconcerted the man below him, and- before be could reach the top step the purser brought a cutlass down on him which sent him after hls companion.

Meanwhile 1 had noticed a man be- 1 low take to tbe water and swim to

The day had boon liot. but the uight.s In Italy are usually c-onl On this mght It was J\ist warm enougli to sit out on fleck in light clothing. ^

Facing eastward from ilu* bay one looks to his right upon Monnt Vesu vius. beneath which ih' iln»'half hiiricl. half exhumed <'itlcs of Pompeii and Herculaneum Directly before him the city of Naples rises wiih ilie ground on which it is built, and to me, view Ing it at night, it was successive tiers of light.

By 10 o’clock all $vho were aboard except my.self had niroed in. ! having volunteered to stand watch till the lib erty party returned The men had or ders to*^return at 11 o“<-Iock, but tlntt hour arrived without them. I was not especially surpri.sod. for sailors ashore are not very reliable. 1 didn't mind their not coming, for the night was so beautiful that 1 had no desire to turn in.

Twelve o’clock came and still no crew. I began to get a bit drowsy and dozed-In my chair. Opening my e.ves. I saw a boat heading for the ship. I did not doubt that It was the liberty party returning till I noticed that there was no sound of oars or voices. Sail ors who go ashore for a good time don’t usuaHy come back quietly. Re sides, it very soon dawned upon me that the oars in the approaching boat were inufiîed.

. What I have said about tbe gold and the crew and crime in Naples flash- ed through ray' brain. I ran down stairs to awaken the captain and the purser.

“Arm yourselves and get on dock as soon as fiossiblel” 1 cried, shaking thent at the same time.

I then ran to where the arms were kept and, seizing a musket, a cutla.ss and a revolver; got up the companion way just in time to see tbe boat about KK) yard.s distant. From the gunwale amidships I cried out to tlie approach ing party to keep off. though If they we’c Italians they would not under stand me.

They stopped rowing, and l^could hear them Uilkiiig <n the guttural sounds of the low grade of the Italian people. Then without lieeding my warning they resumed their course to ward the Pelican. I fired a shot from the musket, but. not liciiig sure of their intentions, aimed above their heads. If they wore not bent un crime rhi.s W’ould stop them. It did not stop them, fcr they pulled forward with lusty strokes.

Hearing the shot hastened the captain and tile purser, svho*arri$’ed h.alf dressed, but'armed, a few moments after 1 had fired. They joinetl me when the boat was within thirty yards Of the ship The party ha^come in a large y*=wl. and there were about a dozen or tliem. They had an advan-

ward the stern. 1 surmised that he was making for the anchor chain to climb on board. Captain Wainright had pulled the knife out of his chest, and, thinking he might bo able to protect the bow from the swimmer. I sug- gested that he do so, leaving me and the purser where the principal danger lay. Wainright said that he was up to the job and started forward with

almost as good, decent and clean a fellow as his sweetheart thought he was.

Mabel Ainsworth—that’s the girl with the unerring jndgmeut—had a father when Jack failed in business

Mr. Ainsworth instituted proceedings with his daughter, .Mabel, who loved Jack, broke or whole, and for reasf'ns known only to the feminine mind did not hesitate to say so Mr .Ainsworth tried to reason

He was a lawyer in good practice, and his logic was excellent. Mal)el re- marked that she . loved Jack. Her father begau to Intimate something heavy about filial love, duty, obedience, and so forth.

Mabel repeated that she loved Jack. The father sought Jack and talked to the young man in u manuer for which Jack would have knocked the talk out of him had he not been Mabel’s father.

“Iôok at this!” commanded Ruford and thrust an open letter under the proboscis of bis reluctant father-ln-law:

“Well, what is it all about?” asked Ainsworth after he bad read the type- written lines.

“It’s this,” replied Jack, more in pity than in ire. “The Wetmore Drug company of New Y'ork offers me the sole agency for Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa”—

•‘Yes. yes.” Interrupted Mabel's father, with offensive impatience.

“Yes. yes—sir—when you thlk to me. Mr. Aiusworth!” corrected Jack stern- ly. “Y'es. yes!” repeated Aiusworth without afiBrming anything In particular.

“There you go again!” snapped the potential conqueror of the drug trade of -four progressive states. “How many times shall I have to tell you that it’s ‘^•es, sir,' to me from you? Please do not forget that again, my dear Îr.

I .Ainsworth. By the way. how much money wTll it take to buy your daughter from you, with your aboriginal ideas of paternal ownership?”

“Not an infernal red cent!” roared Ainsworth. “Nor a yellow million nor a stack of greenbacks as high as this postofRce—from yon. sir! ITl sir you! Even If you had tbe ability to make any appreciable part of it you couldn't have my daughter now for all the money in the #orld, sir!”

“Are yon through?” asked Ruford calmly. The lawyer nodded violently, “All right, then,” proceeded the young man. “Tm really surprised at you. .Mr. Ainsworth. And with your legal attainments too: Mabel is of age. Yon know that.

Meanwhile the purser and I were fighting, at the steps to keep off* Ijoard- ers. Wo were somewhat protec-ted by the bulwarks from those in the boat and after tbe captain’s mishap ke{)t as well below tis possible. But I lielleved the battle would at Iasi go against u.s when I thought of a way to <*ut off the ascent I told the purser to bring an »x, while I fought on. He did so. and when he retunied 1 cut the ropes that held the steps. There svere three men on them at the time, all of whom tum- bled into the boat or the water.

Hearing the souud of oars, 1 looked and saw another boat rapidly approaching. That it did not contain re- enforcements for the bandits w'as evident from the fact that they pushed off and pulled away as fast as they could. They were chased by the other boat and were fired at As the latter passed near the Pelican I could see In the raoouiight that the men in It wore tbe showy uniforms of the.carablneers. or national police of Italy. We watched them till we saw them overhaul the bandits and take tlu-Jr boat In tow.

They pulled back to the Pelican and left a carabineer who spoke some Eng- lish on board to get what information we had to impart concerning the attack and to Inform us that we would be'- expected to appear against the bandits. The police had been attracted' by our shots.

At 2 o’clock In the moniiug our crew returned minus three men we had picked up at Tlangier. These men formed the plan of attacking us and getting the gold we had on lioard. tak Ing with them an organized lamd. The authorities offered to give up these men of our crew to us that we might try them for mutiny, hut our captain preferred to leave them to he dealt with by the Italian courts.

“I know it!” gasped the hapless father.

“A man who can do that, Mr. Ains- worth." proceeded Jack unfeelingly, “must be handled with care. Let us. then, try kindness.”

“1 always thought. Jack,” said the lawyer in his best appealing voice, “that at heart you were a vei^ decent young fellow.”

“I am,” agreed Jack modestly. “My purpose being to get down to a calm discussion of the differences between us, I shall not refer to your wonderful restraint of expression of your good opinion of me.”

Both men laughed at this sally. “Now. Mr. .-Un.s'worth.” proceeded

the young man pleasantly, “you are mostly right about me and would be all right if you weren't so infernally vigorous In expressing yourself. I have no right to marry Mabel In my present circumstances, until I have shown—mostly for my own satisfaction—that I can make money enough to support her. Now, I shall be gone a year. When I come back, if I can show you $5.000 will that soften your heart?”

“Jack,” replied Mabel’s father with deep feeling, “if you ever show me $5.000 of your own money, honestly earned, and if I don't drop dead at sight of it I’ll consent.”

“Mind you,” suid Jac-k as they shook [lands on it, “I am doing thhs thing out of pure magnanimity of soul. You understand that, don't you?"

“Fully.” acknowledged Mr. Ains- worth. . .

Jack Ruford arrived in Ne$v York on the second night after tbe receipt of tbe crushing telegram. He entered a modest hotel on a side street near Broadway and scowled at the attentive bellboy who relieved him of his suit <*ase.

There was nothing for him to do but to think until the moirow. when. Jack hoped, the offices of the W('tmore Drug company would Lie open lie <»rdF*red the bellboy to escort him an.l his bag gage to the room assigned t«» him

“What kind of a jihiit i.-î tliis. any way?” snarled the <li-tr:H-ted young man as the liellboy set tht‘ wrung suit case on the table of tbe room “Thi- isn't my suit case.”

“Oh. beg pardon, sir!" apologized tile bewildered l$oy. “Isn't It?”

“Well, then, why ihe dh-kens don't you get it?”

“That's the trouble." stanimcred the bellboy. “The lady says for you to come and get it yourself She won't give it to me, sir.”

“Won’t, hey? She won't, won't sbe?” demanded Jack furiously, “d'aUe me to it, kid. rn sot her straight in two seconds—just exa<-tly two seconds."

The dazed boy led tbe Irate guest down one corridor and up anotÜFîr and stopped before a door marked 2î(>, Jack knocked authoritatively, and a feminine voice called “Come in.” The young man flung open the door. .

“Madam,” he began, idly stern “Mad-I-T”-

And then this prince of glib talkers suddenly lost the power of articulation, for Mabel Ainsworth slowly turned to face him. confirming the fii'st wiki guess, fear and hoiie' whidi the sight of her figure bad inspired.

“1 think it very careless of you. Jack.” began Mabel ref'rrnu-bfully. “to keep your suit case unlo<-ked.'*

She waved her baud toward her pho- togi-iiph rt'stlng in its con.spicuouspi.ice against the inner Hd of the suit case.

“I sujjpose.” he said gloomily,- "that all Is over, Mabel I shall have to give you upj d;irling Billy Wetmore”-

Emmet Dookin. a young man living 111 L uuiily Tipperary. Ireland, was one day walking on the bank of the river siiir doing a hard job of thinking. His cy*-s were on the ground before him,

; and so intent was he on the subject j iliai lie did nut even bear a bird chirp- 1 ing in a tree above his head. Sudden

ly he was stopped both in his progress I and Ills reverie liy a girl who stood di i-(*ctly before him and vyas looking at him with a merry face.

-What are you thinking about, Em i met, that you can't see a yard before

you ?” A change came over the young man's

face at sight of the cheery maiden before him His own lighted up with a inomciitary pleasure.

“I’m goin' to America, Eileen.’’ he said, “and. considerin' that I haven’t a penny to me name, I w’as wondeiin' liow I was goin’ to get .there.”

It was now the girl's turn to look so l)er. The tw’inkle left her eye, and the smile left her lips,

“And what are you goin’ to America for. Emmet?” she asked in a tremu Ions voice.

“To make me fortune.” “Aud ](‘avo your poor old father?” “Yes.” “And your mother—svhat will she do

without the boy she loves so W’dl?” “Y'es. 1 must leave both father and

mother I’m doin' ’em no good here, and once in America, where they say there's plenty of work for all, 1 may be able to send 'em enough to make ’em comfortable.”

They walked to the bank of the river and sat down on the turf under a tree. Eileen had spoken one word for Em- met's parents and two for hei'self. The two had grown up together, and. though they had not been aw'are of it this intention of Emmet to put 3,000 miles of ocean between them had revealed it to Eileen and had given a gUm-mer of it to Eiumqt, The mind of man full of plans for conquest does not so readily settle upon the senti- mental features of life as the woman whose inactive sphere gives hor more opportunity. Eileen sat raiife and de- jected.

"You don't approve - of my plan?” said Emmet. “Will you tell me wdiy?”

To this there was no answer. "You're thinkin' maybe that ii’.s fool-

ish for a man to talk about goin’ to a foreign country when he has no money to pay his way.”

Still there was no reply. Eileen sat looking down on ilie. gently flowing river beneath them, apparently as much wrapped in feeling- as^ Emmet had been in thought when they met .

“Tf it's leavin’ father and mother you’re thinkin’ of I believe 1 can do ’em more service by goin’ where i'll got plenty of work and good pay than stagin’ here, \ybere there's tittle work and poor pay.”

Even this suggestion failed to elicit any word from Eileen. Emmet was looking down upon her and saw that her eyes were wet. "Tell me, Eileen,” he said softly, “why you oppose my goin’ to America.”

Siie looked up at him. and at last he received his answer. “I don't want you to go.”

The few words, spoken almost in a I whisper, revealed to tbe man not only ; that the girl loved him, but revealed

' uig:- . VJ»

to him that sbe was as much to him as he was to her. It was the only proposition ever made between them that their lives should be linked, and, singularly enough, it came from the girl. But it sufficed for these two lowly creatures, and It enabled Emmet to speak more plaiuly--to tell her that he would not ouly send his parents the • wherewithal to make them comfortable. but would work hard and save every penny that he might have enough beyond what he needed for

j them to send for her, and they would foynd a horse in the new country

All this took nine it w i- years before lie was ai.i. ? . . jt his $4 a day, and even in. IF was not always work to d >, .i not till Emmet had been in four years that he beuan to pm a fund to briug Eileen to Inm luns» fund he started at the begliniiug «■! new year and calculated that tie w..uit& have enough by the folh^wui;: aiU'imoi to buy Eileen’s ticket across the \vau*r« ,'nfortunarely he was laid up by ilV-

uess soon after he began to put aside» this fund and was idle for two moiithsL.

Eileen received a letter early iâi January telling -her of her lover’s In- tentions and another shortly afterwardl . that be was laid up with an illnesa- She had saved enough mouey to pay her way to America and made up beir mind to go to Emmet of her own ac- cord since he was not able to send for her. She came to this resolution Isa February, but it WîU» March before she» could make her arrangements to depart Then, too. she must go home to say goodby to her parents and receive a blessing from Emmet’s father and mother to take to him. However,* she got away at lust, anxious to reacîJi her lover, who was still an Ir.vaiid.

Eileen's intention was to sm)»ris€» Emmet, and in none of her tett '-.-s cUdI she give him the slightest hint ot \\w coming. She wrote him that sbr ed to be aide to nurse him t health, and he replied giavtefu! ' if she were with him he would more rapidly, but bis greatest pointment was that ho was v. the fund he bad started with wi. bring her to blm in necessary e\L including doctor's lulls. .

The last letter Emmet receive,! home before Eileen sailed was his mother. She was a very pious woman and bad often w'l’itten her sun to> be sure not to neglect his church duties. In this letter she told him tha^ she was sending him a gift that \ would receive on or almut St. B» ■ rick’s day. She believed that it vr.ouô make him well, for she sent with it blessing.

Emmet was very curious to know wbat this gift was his mother wa» sending him and wondered ho-w Mt would come. He saw no way except: by express, and, although his mother* had his address, he sent a postcard t® each express company's local office» that iB rbight not be delayed for wank of his street and number.

On the morning of St. Patrick's^ Emmet’s gift had not urrivcil. Tiiere» was a telephone lu the hous»* in wtnrfcfe he lived, and since he was luo to leave his bed he asked Liis iandl.a^ to telephone the express offices to aste if any package had been receivid ro«* him Every office declartMl tliai u ■ ing had l)een received for isiuj. ;.a: was disapp<unted vMtour 11 <»■«•!,,,■■ •*-' the morning the lamllmly i room and said to him:

And Emmet did succeetl in time, thougli he found it up- hill work. Had his mind not been fixed on n definite puTpo.se ho would probably not have had (be stimulus to work and pinch that be might accomplish it and attain his goal.

Eileen was iKJt the girl to let her lover do all (hat they required. She obtained a position as Indy's maid in the borne of a wealthy family in Dub- lin. where she received good wages, nearly all of which .she «ived Long before Emmet was able to send his
