Of what avail would the three dreadnoughts that he wanted us to vote for have been for this purpose this summer ONLOOKER. The Orillia Packet expresses its pleasure at the announcement that tbe Domin- ion Chautauqua is to be organized on a "distinctly Canadian basis." The Packet is particularly critical of the closing ad- dress of the Chautauqua series recently given in that town. the Orillia program having been practically the same as that given in Goderich. What was advertised as "the greatest lecture in the world" turned out to be what might have been considered a very good joke, says The Packet. were it not for the impression which the smartness and materialistic ex- altation of the "almighty dollar," backed by the reputation of a popular preacher. was calculated to have on the younger portion of the audience. The Signal joins with The Packet in the expectation that the managers of the Chautauqua will learn from experience to judge as to what lectures on their list are likely to prove acceptable to Canadian audiences. Of all the weapons of war that have been employed by the Hun in this war, the greatest menace to Britain directly. and to the whole Allied cause indirectly, was the submarine. We say "was," for through the courage and the ingenuity of British seamen the peril has been averted. the submarine has been foiled in the great design to destroy British shipping and so take Britain pract ally out of the war. The succvse of th. U-boat campaign and the destruction of Britain's shipping and maritime power would have meant that the streams" men and supplies that have been flowing into France would be dried up. and not in France only. hut in Italy, Macedonia and Mesopotamia the Allied cause would have net with disaster. For the removal of this deadly menace we have to thank the staunch sea- men. of war craft and of merchant vessel, who have stood to their work unflinchingly. defying the sub- marine. scheming its destruction, deter- mining that while a British ship could float it would go about its business on the high seas. Many of these gallant men have lost their liven, leaving dependents poorly provided for. it is to care for these dependents that the Navy League is making the canvass this week. not only in Goderich. but all over the country.

WOMEN IN ALL PARTS OF CANADA Tell 01 the Health Dodd's Kidney Pills Bring. Glenavon. Sask.. Sept. 2 (Special) -- "Three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made a new woman of me." Those are the words of Mrs. John Mortimer, of this place- They are She wards that have been used again and again by women in all parts of Canada who have suffered. and who have found relief and cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Even to -day there are a few old- fashioned people who use send lo - stead of blotting paper. Stationers once In a wbtle have a call for a "sand box." The seed box is a very ancient con- trivance. ft somewhat resembles a pepper box, but has a concave lop. When the sand has been sprinkled over the freshly written page to dry the ink, the userplus to turned back into the receptacle. The method is primitive, but 1t be said that sand does the work a whole let better thea much of the Wetting paper one buys. The latter slight to be made of cotton rags: but too often the material is wood pulp, which lacks absorbent quality. , The sand box went out of use at about the same time as the quill pen. In old times, for the purpose, there was a special demand for s fine black sand of untform grain that came from Lake George, in New York state. Ekcellent blotters are made of a porous kind of stone formed or sedi- ment depoeit.d in hot sprlags of Mis- souri. Very light In weight, It soak. up ink more readily than any bibu- lous paper.

Tbere is so 'nue! drama le the world that our sent!• meats grew dramatir, and we come to depend for our patriotic feelings up- on the daily stimulus of newspapers, uniforms and beads. All that Is ephe- meral because it lacks exaltation. The Germans enjoy a rather more romantic patriotism, because they are the most aggressive and the most guilty of wbat 1s happening-aad It is all irony that in tbis guilt should be found the ancient strength tint made the uajust man flourish as the towel' bar tree. But their patriotism Is, ptretatis, the most sboddy, the moat artiflctal of all; rbapsodles about the ancient German gods are ridiculous wbxn we thlak that Ger- many Is mainly a eouatry of aelitee tartortes; when they call a treacb Ilse the ilegfrted !Ise (why, not the Sehopenhauer redoubt?) they are ridiculous.

The explan- ation was that the honor had been offered, but that the Liberal leader respectfully but firmly declined It. Six months later, bowever, Sir Wil- frid (then Main Mr. Laurier) went to England Lc attend the jubilee of Queen Victoria. The reception ac- corded hem by the British people was remarkable for its warmth. The haedaome, distinguished young Frenctr-Caaadtaa statesman took London by storm, the press and pub- lic aeclafniag his talents and Queen Victoria bestowing upon bits parU- eular attention and respect. One evening the Queen gave a dinner for the overseas Prime Ministers.

Investigations recently made on the little known and rarely visited Henderson or Etlsabeth Island have led to the discovery of a little colony of zoological total abstainers. The island, which is uninhabited, Is sit- uated about ane hundred and twenty tulles northeast of Pitcairn Island - Itself sul,clestly out of the way, but famous as tbe home of the deoces- daats of the mutineers of the Bounty. Taker is no water on it, not even a swamp, and tt is only ■ix miles long, yet it harbors quite a menagerie -_a tend of ret, a lizard, described as Very abundant, and no fewer (ban four klads of birds, all peculiar to tie Island. These are a fruit pigeon, a lorikeet or honey -eating parakeet, a little rail or crake, and a reed war- bler. The strange thing about the inmates of this curious little natural aviary of coral rock, surrounded by waves instead of wires, Is that two of its inmates are birds, one especial- ly associated witb water - the rail and the warbler. But It Is evident that these, like the rest, must do without drinking unless the dew can stake their thirst or they have acquir ed toleration for sea water aa a bev- erage. Cruelly Frank.
