WANTED—MEN FOR THE NAVY. Captain Rupert Guinness. of the Roial Naval Volunteer Reserve, was in: the city yesterday in-eonnection with Ids mission to obtain five thousand Canadians to join the Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve. The British Admiralty and the Canadian Government have about completed arrangements to permit the recruiting of these men in Canada, and Ceplain Guinness is here to Superintend the movement. These recruits do not need tc be seafaring men. There are -many oceu- Pations on board a British man-oawar that landsmen can fill with a little instruction, as soon as they find their sea legs. Seamen, yachtsmen, etc., will be welcome. but most all able-bodied young men will be eligible for the sex. - vice. The pay of these men will be the same as Canadian soldiers receive, and will be much higher than those paid British seamen. put, while on board ship, they will receive the c.-ame Pay as the 13ritish seamen, the dif- ference being put away to their credit to be paid over co them at the close of their service. This is an excellent opportanity for Canadian young men to serve their country, to see the world and te, do their bit for the Empire. When the war is over the likelihood is that work will be awaiting them in the Cana- dian navy, should they feel inclined Jo continue a life on the ocean wave.. The Hamilton Recruiting League is making arrangements to assist Capt. Ouinuess in recruiting the men, the particulars regarding which will be made public later. • True Ideal of Aristocracy. 1••••••••••••••• 9.) HER HUMBLE OVER From what Archie hae told her, from the scraps of information which she gleaned, it would appear that the present Lord Delamer, Is, if anything, a shade worse than his father; that -he has never seen Northwell Grange, the abode of hie ancestors, and that it is probable he never will, Parte, Loudon, the gay actuate of pleasure, are his happy hunting grounds, and there he deports himself, while the home of his ancient house is left to a herd of deer and a gardener who plays the accord- ion. Signa's fancy. runs such riot that she is almost beginning to experience the sensation of scorn for the mis- guided youth, and has worked UP an eloquent burst of huaginary reproach, when something, which proved to be a shower of small stones, falls from the top of the slight cliff and strlices the edge of her these. She loolce up, but there is nothing to be seen, and concluding that some bird has rested on the edge and dislodged the gravel, sae is about to ioee herself in a second series of visiens, when she beam un- mistakable footsteps coming down the rudely cut eteps to the beach. For a moment she feels half mauled. Evidently the musical gardener has espied them, and has tracked them to the spot from whence there is, no es- cape, that he may capture them in the very act of. that dire offence, trespass- ing. With her head half -turned, and a smile on her face, she waits foT the appearanceof the owner oi the feet that are slowly descending; then sud- denly the mile vanishes, for there ap- pears in sight, not a fustian -clad) tiller of the soil with sour visage, but a gentleman who is certainly not a gar- dener, and whose visage cannot be des- cribed as sour. Curled up in her corner, and half hidden by the low sun -whitened rocks; she does not come within the scope of tae new -comer's vision, and as he etands leaning with one hand upon his stick, she has opportunity and time to regard him critically. Archie, with the fickleness of youth, has deserted his castle, and has disappeared round the corner with the now disheveled sun- shade, doubtless to erect a similar edi- fiStanding as motionless as a statue, the newcomer makes a picture that Signe, artist to the core, appreciates acid enjoys. Most of us prefer the Pic- turesque to the commonplace -the beautiful, as certainly the stranger is neither commonplace or plain. Half - unconsciously Signe, takes in the prin- cipal points of her picture; the tall, square frame, with its broad chest and well -formed limbs; the shapely hand, brown and strong for all its delicacy of shape; the gracefully poised head with its short, rippling black hair; and, lastly, the handsome, distinguish- ed face, tanned and somewhat lined, with its dark eyes and clearly defined ...brows. A handsome man, still in his eayouth, for all the somewhat haggard a and worn look in the -eyes and the pensive turn of the clear-cut lips, half -hidden by the dark and rather foreign -looking mustache. A man with a past and a history, unless the human countenance be utterly deceptive and unreliable. Signe, motionless as he whom she Is criticising, notices, with a woman's nuicknees, that, though this man is andoubtedly a gentleman, his dress does not smack of Saville Row, that it is well-worn, and also-significaut fact -that the wearer is utterly careless of its unfashionableness and of its age. There is no shining spot of gold upera him, not so much as a watch -chain, and the stick he carries has evidently been cut by his own hand from the parent tree, And yet for all his care-, dimly worn clothes, hie unpolished stick and soft, rain -stained deer -stalker Signe detects the signs of birth and breeding. It has taken scme few min- ute e to set down her Impressions of him; they were stamped on her mind in as many moments, during which the unccnecious object of her criticism had remained stand:ng gazing seaward With an absent, abstracted expression. It was amusing thus far, but presently Signe grew uneasy. She had expected and hoped that having gazed his fill he would turn, and, still unaware of her presence, ascend the cliff and dis- appear; but as the momenta rolled to "Minutes she grew impatient. Archie was out of sight--enight get into mis- chief or danger any moment; she wanted -woman-like now that she could not -to 1;:ave the spot and re-, turn home. And yet she did not like to rise or call Archie. She might have 'done ao at first, and gene her way without any awkward- ness or embarrassment; but to diccover her presence now would also acquaint this handsome wanderer ith the fact that she had been play- ing the spy upon his actions. At the thought the color rises to Signa's face, and her brews knit; but the momen- tary feeling of annoyance changes to 'Ana of dismay When she sees the in- truder throw himself down upon the beach and take a book front his rocket. "Gracious powers!" alie murmnrs, "be may sit there for hours. I can't sit here waiting helplessly while Amble may -be in danger of tumbling into the sea."

But, to her amazement, the handsome head was still bent over the book., the prone figure remained as motion- less as before. A sudden thrill ran through Signa's frame, as the thought flashes through lier "He is deaf." Tite thrill cif sur- er's() was followed by one almost of relief, and gaining courage by the assurance that he could not near her, she stood upright and walked belly past him, ' Three steps she had taken when, with a quiet eelf•Passession, he rose, and with the book in one hand and the hat in the other, took a step toward her, "I beg your pardon," he said, "Are you hurt?" The sudden shock of the discovery that her theory as to his deafness was an erroneous one rendered Signe for the moment speechless. With a strange air 01 mingled patience anti respect, he put on his hat and waited, his eyes fixed with true delicacy and consideration upon the cliff above her head. Even in Iter momentary confusion and • irritation, Signe, recognized the refined courtesy, and she felt vaguely ashamed of having put the foolish idea of flight to experiment. In that mo- ment of waiting, too, she noticed something strange about the voice; it Was English unmistakably, yet Eng- lish softened aud made harmonious by familiarity with more musical tongues. There is much in a voice. "The devil hath not in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice/' says Byron, and there was something infinitely sweet in this man's Voice, sweet, yet grave ane full of manliness -a voice that one could imagine stern and hard under provocation., That it was soft now was, Signe knew, be- cause he wished to check any foolish alarm she might feel. The haughty look dies out of the dark eyes, slain by the voice, but she answers gravely enough: a "Thanks! not 111 the least.. My foot sli"I'Peldcri—ow;:" he says, softly, with a grave smile. "I was dreading it from the moment you started—" "Then you know—" exclaims Signe, with a sudden flus a and a flash of tho dark eyes. Ile inclines his head, half apologeti- cally. "Yes, I knew you were there, but," he adds, not hurriedly, but with a quick earnestness as if he would im- press it upon her -"not until I lay down. If you will come here where I stand, you will see the opening of the rocks low down on the beach, through which I caught a glimpse of you. I could not. while I stood up." Sigma half -unconsciously obeys the request -or respectful command, whichever it may be. "You see?" he says, with a faint smile, his eyes meeting hers steadily and with an intent look, as if he were guarding against the faiutest expres- sion of admiration or anything save the respectful desire to reassure her. Signa inclines her head in silence. "I am afraid," he says, still looking at her intently, and leaning on tho click with one haul, "that you will thinlc-that you have already thought me a boor to lie there without offer- ing to assist you?" Signe turns her eyes upon him with a momentary flash. He had read her tb ought. "I feared so," he said, gentler; "and yet will you tell me which it would have been better for me to do? Will you put yourself in my place, before you condemn me? Say that you were a stranger who had unwittingly and innocently Intruded on a lady's solitude, that you had not discovered it until it was too late for her to escape ;without embarrassment, would you not have done as I did - Pretend that you had not seen her, and carried that pretense even to 'the verge of being clownenough to re- main inactive when she needed as- sistance?" He puts the question in the calmest, the softest of voices, with the grave earnestn.ess of a man pleading for for- giveness, and anxious to explain away his offense. Signa remains silent. What can she answer? "I see," he says, "I was afraid that you would not find it easy to forgive me, and yet I acted for the best, as T thought. And the result might aave been a sprained ankle on your aprt and an endless remorse on mine." By this time Signe had recovered her wonted self -possession -is it pos- sible that he has made this long speech to give her time? -and she turns to him with a laugh. "Im afraid I have been very fool- ish," sho says, frankly, "and I de- served my tumble. I had an insane idea that .1 could escape without dis- turbing you. I owe you an apology for interrupting your reading." • He smiles. "The book was upside down," he says. "I was- too absorbed in the problem of the moment for reading. Now, having gained your forgiveness, you will let me help you to reach the cliff?" and he holds out his hand. "Thanks," said Signe, "but I have a little boy playing truant round the corner. I must find him. Good -morn - "Permit me," he says, gently, and he points to a rock. "Sit down and rest, and I will' bring him to you," and taking her consent for granted, he walks off. Signa seats herself and looks after him, conscious of a distant feeling of curiosity respecting him. If she had ever had any doubts as to his 'status, his manner has conipeltely dispelled it. Ile he whom he may, Ile is a gentleman, and used to command and obedience. "An aitist, perhaps," she thinks, but the next instant the upright, mill- tary bearing of the tall figure cancels that conjecture.

"Archie gives me credit for the pro- verbial loquacity of my sex," she says. "How long will it be before the tide reaches your moat? We will give it five minutes." "All right," says Archie, and away he bounds, dragging the ill-treated sunshade after him, and singing at the top of his voice.

He looles at her with evident inter- est. "Indee," he says, with a. "curiosity which is leavened by the deepest res- pect. "No," says Signe. "I have only a week's acquaintance with Northwell." "You are almost as much a stranger as I myself," he says, looking down thoughtfully at the pebbles at his feet. "It is a beautiful Place.

A favored spot, and this perhaps is the point from which one can view it to advantage," and he makes a movement with his shapely, sunburnt hand. Signe listens and 'watches him as the musical voice falls into a grave, dreamy cadence inexpressibly Pleas- ing. "And yet the owner of this favored spot leaves it, as you see," says Signe, with a smile. "You came through the Grange grounds, did you net?" "Yes," he replies. "That is, I just skirted them." Did yote.isee the house?" she asks. "It is a grand old place." He nods. "Yes; a very fine old place. It is a pity that it should have been neg- lected so long." "Is it not?" assents Signe, warmly. "It seems almost human in its sad sol- itude and desolation. I fancy it the owner could see it, he could not fail to be touched." "Very likely. With pride or shame, do you mean?" he asks, looking down at her calmly. "With a little of both," says Signe, her eyes growing dreamy. `Pride that such a place, such a house was his; shame that he should have deserted it for so long a time." He is silent for a moment. Then half unconsciously he einks down on a bowlder lower than her own, and, leaning his head on his hand, looks out to sea. Then he says quietly, in a ton of or- dinary interest: "Do you know anything of Lord Delamere, the owner?" "I! No," miles Signe. "And I do not think anybody-else.in. Northwell does. He is a sort of sphinx or mys- tery," and she smiles. "A kind of Wandering Jew or perpetual romance; All aorta of wild dories aro told about him; fearful traditions which are no doubt to be taken with a pinch of salt. But I myself know nothing of him; how should I? I have only been here a week, and he, I think, has never been here at all." "No," he says. "I think not." Signe starts and looks down at him with astonishment. There is some- thing in his tone that seems to inti- mate that lie does not share her ignor- ance of the wandering earl.

THE STONES OF VENICE. (Rochester Post -Express.) Neutral observers in Venice de- nounce with flaming indignation the aerial attacks the Austrians are mak- ing on that part of the city famed for its beautiful and historic works of art. There are no Italian guns, munitions or other stores within the limits of the art city. Not the slightest mili- tary advantage could be gained by blowing all its storied churches and other monuments into the lagoons. Yet in a spirit of malice and wanton destruction thid part of the city is bombed persistently, though jut be- yolici it are centres of great military Importance which the aerial raiders could easily reach. The last of the noted churches to be destroyed is that of Beata Maria For- mosa, the first sacred edifice in Ven - ii consecrated to the Virgin -an old and venerated Dile when America was discovered. Thi e was wrecked one day last month. Yet this spiteful dem- olition of the world patrimony of art took place abio in Belgium and Franco, where particular pains were very evidently taken to batter the isplendid fanes into rubbish heaps. This war seems to have loosed a spirit of malignancy for which it is not altogether easy to account There was not such wanton ruin of wonderful edifices during the Napoleonic strug- gle; and it is yet to be proved that a single woman or child was murdered or mistreated during the Civil war. It Is conceivable that the cities beyond the Rhine may suffer during the com- ing year and even the heaven -pointing epuro of Cologne may criellIble under mealy Oldie.

Giving a Horse Its Name. The shire horse owes its name to Arthur Young's remarks, in the de- scription of his agricultural tours during the closing years of the eigh- teenth century, concerning the large old English black liorse, "the produce Principally of the shire counties in the -heart of England." But long previous to this the word "shire" in connection with horses was used in statutes of Henry VIII. Under the various names of the war horse, the great horse, the old English black horse axed the shire horse the breed has for centuries been cultivated in the rich fen lands of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire and in many counties of the west. Curiously enough, the Shire Horse Society, which has done so much to promote the breed, was known for the first six years of its existence, which began in 1878, as the English Caet Horse Society. -London Chronicle.

The snapping bug has a spring in his back, like a knife. When not in use as a spring it serves him as a backbone, so you see he is a believer in scientific efliciency, and makes one part of his machinery do the work of two. His spring backbone, few minutes. Hes came down in a. gives him power to jump, which in turn gives him his name, Nature probably gave him the spring to help him get on his feet when he's on his back. You've noticed how helpless some insects are when you lay them on their backs. Not this one, how- ever. Ho slips his backbone out of its groove and then slips it back again suddenly. The spring pops him up in the air, he turns a Isomer - malt and drops right side up. Spring backbones are common in several oth- er beetles. The beetle of the pesti- ferous worm, which destroys the farmers' crops, has a spring in his baek. Other members of the family make their homes in trees or decayed wood.
