During the recent electrical storm
in Toronto a large and very high tree
in the grounds surrounding the beau.
tifullakeside residence of Barrister R.
H. Holmes and family, adjoining Ex-
hibition Park, Toronto, was struck by
lightning, stripping off the bark, and
following a heavy coiled wire to the
.summer house in front of the south
verandah facing the lake, and before
running down one o.f the poste to the
lawn, melting the six inch iron spikes
and splintering one corner of the roof
of the summer house and nearly set-
ting it on fire.
The lightning stroke was accowpan•
ied by a terrific crash of thunder, but
no damage resulted to the large resi-
dence or boat houses, and the iron -
covered garage at the north end of the
property on Dominion Street and the
Boulevard Driveway in which seven
valuable automobiles were stored, also

TOE INFLUENCE OF CANADA
The influence of Canadian p atria
let) hes been far-reaching. The Blaltt-
more Sun bas this to say of Canada—
that "it le an,
honor to live next door
to her.” Blood is thicker than water,
Our American cousins were quick to.
grasp the significance of Canada's re-
sponse to the challenge of Germany.
Our giotories were their victories.
When Canada won fame they cheered
with the best of u", and felt it an hon-
er to Live next door to us, 'i,'he Balti-
more Son reffacte the close and ftiend-
ly relations that now subsist between
the Republic and the Dominion;
"Kipling called Canada 'Our
Lady of the Snow', but the story
which our staff correspondent is
telling of her war record shows
that when her pride, her loyalty,
and her affections are enlisted she
is the Vesuvius of Nations. Every
American ought to read the narra-
tive of Canadian sacrifice and Can.
adieu heroism. It is an epic which
Homer might have been proud to
tell, We confess that, when we
oompare thie splendid enthusiasm,
this eager devotion, this unques-
tioned and magnificent eourage
and uneelfiehness with certain
manifestations of American indif-
ference, half-heartoduess, and cal-
culating prudence, we feel a genets
of humiliating moral inferiority.
"Some fool Americana before the
war used to talk about annexing
Canada and extending to it the
blessings of Republican 'govern-
ment, Unlees we raise ourselves
to the spiritual level of these great-
souled people, the best thing that
could happen to us would be to get
Canada to annex no, But we hope
these letters will thrill our hearts -
with admiration, and will stir us
with a generous emulation. To be
a Canadian must be, for the next
generation at least, .equivalent to
being one of the elect of the earth."
Canadians at home must live up to
thin record. It is a record which has
not been made by the Government or
by Parliament, or by the millions of
Canadians who live in comparative
ease and security within their borders
remote from the thundering reverber-
ations of the guns. This record and
Ibis fame were won on the fields of
battle where sleep the vanguard of
Canada's army of national defence—

made specially for the great Canadian
Weekly. The To tnily Herald and

credit indeed to Canadian enterprise,
It is a marvel of detail and yet not
crowded. It is in four colors and about
2 x 8i feet and folded into a very
neat cover, about 5 x 10 inches. The
Map is surrounded by a border of the
regimental badges and coat of arms of
nearly every battalion that left Cana-
da, from Halifai to Vancouver.
Every important point can be recog-
nized et once. That portion of the
map covering France ie in a soft color
with names of towne and battle scenes
in black, easily recognizable. The
Map is endorsed by "returned military
experts as most complete and accurate
in detail. The Map could not be pro-
duced, except in such large quantities
as The Family Herald will use, at Ioss
than two dollars a copy, yet it can be
had absolutely free with The Family
Herald.
Tho publishers of The Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star for several
months back have been fighting hard
against the necessity of increasing
their subscription rates, but eventual-
ly had to come to it like most other
papers, The increase, however, is a
mere trifle—twenty-cents a year, mak-
ing their new rate $1,25—and with the
year's subscription they will include a
copy of this great War Map free of
charge. This is certainly a generous
offer; and one that Canadians will ap-
preciate. Many expected a much
larger increase in the subscription
price of The Family Herald, and are
surprised at the small extra amount
charged.

During Thunderstorms
During a thunderstorm if you are in
doors:—
(1) Keep away from the stove and
chimney. The hot gases from the
chimney may eonduct the lightning to
and down the chimney.
(2) Do not take a position between
two bodies of metal, as the stove and
water pipe for example. An exception
to neing near metals le the case of an
iron bed. One of the safest places is
on a mattress in an iron bed, provided
you do not touchthe metal. The
metal surrounding makes you a safe
cage whioh will prevent the lightning
from reaching a person inside,
(3) Do not stand on a wet floor nor
draw water from the well or faucet.
(4) Do not stand directly under a
chandelier, near a radiator, nor on a
register.

CHOOSING A SCHOOL !
When the body of your son or slaughter is ill, how earnestly your family discusses the professional ab-
ility of' the various doctors. When the more delicate work of training, the equipping of a child with
a business education upon which depends the success of their whole life, surely you should inquire
carefully into the merits and past work of the different commercial schools before making a choice.
As the teacher, so the school
A famous educationist once said: "A log with a young man on one end and Hopkins on the other is a University." There is
for business college teachers, hence. the necessity of investigation. A rival school in Wingham advertises as a member of their
