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.

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

"Gracious powers!" alie murmnrs,

And yet she could not bring herselt

ready to meet the much -dreaded stare.
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

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. In the
whole course of my wanderings I have

close a proximity. Wideestretcbing sea,

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-

"No," he says. "I think not."

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

to positively cure. Beware of dan-

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

ity or judgment one half, and it were

you reduce your chances for GUMMI

His Backbohe is a Spring.
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.

HOW' Japs Play Ken.
In its niost widely practieed form
the basis of the Japanese game of ken
is that the fully outstretched hand sig-
nifies paper, the fully dosed hand a
stone, and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each of
the players counting one, two, three,
throws out his hand at the 1110111ent of
pronouneing three, and the orte Whose
manual symbol is superior to that of
the others, according to the tlleory of
the game, wins the trial, Superiority
is debernained on the hypOthesis that
whereas scissors cannot Mt' 'a steno
they can out paper and whereas paper

Contrasts.
Now the hard times are upon us,
When from temporary dwelling
In the country and the suburbs,
Citywards the folks come trooping
From the dear delights of summer •
To realities of autumn;•
From the outdoor life of nature
To the pent-up brick and mortar;
From the fields and dells and. wood-
lands
To the sight of backyard visions.
From the daylong songs of birdling
And the nightfall'chirp of crickets
To the strident yells of Arabs
And the clanging gongs of trolleys,
And the yowls of cats nocturnal,
From the happy peace and quiet
To the thousand aaful noiees •
Of the loud, insistent city;
From the loneliness so welcome'
To the curious gaze of neighbors,
From the idle ease of hammocks
To the toil of sweeping carpets,
Hanging pictures, cleaning ranges;
From the leisure stroll of roadsides
To the rust and push of shopping;
From the fruit -feasts in the orchard
To the weary trips to market;
From the Eden of contentment
To the murmurings of Hades.
Yes, the contract's bard and bitter
Of the move back to the city.

Land because it was the birthplace of

India is the holy land of alio Chin-
ese and other oriental Huh lists, it
being the native land of Sakya Muni,

several divisions of the ancient Pelop-

grimage to Sita Kara, the immense
stone pillar where their supreme ruler

TWO PICTURES.
An old farmhouse, with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door v.,ith woodbine 'wreathed about,
And wishes his one thought all day -
"oh 12 I could but fly away
From this dull spot the world to see,
How happy, balmy, happy,
How happy I should be!"
Amid the city's constant din,
A man 'who round the world has been,
Who, *mid the tumult and the throng,
is thinking, thinking all day long -
"Oh, could I only tread once more
The field -path to the farmhouse door,
The olcl green meadows could I see,
How happy, happy, happy.
HOW baPPY 1 should be!"
