IRELAND FEEDS' THE BRITISH.
Exports Moro Meat to 'England
Than lay Other Nation.
Under the head of "Ireland, the
Provisioner of Britain," the Irish
Industrial., journal gives an inter-
esting analysis on the subject ofthe
food supply of the Islands. This
Is little understood, for the import-
ance of Ireland as a provider has
not been ;adequately recognized ev-
en by Irishmen themselves> p a d the
Methods of organization, transport=
Stion marketing and distribution
remain unadvaanoed and unimprov-
ed;. despite thegreat increase in
the trade. Yet Ireland hays a wider
range of agricultural products than
, anty. other country supplying the
British markets. •
In meat Ireland leads all other
countries for value of export to
Great Britain. The value of Irish
meat of all kinds exported to and
retained for consumption in Great'
Britain in 1912 was $85,000,000, and
was greater than 'the value from
any other country. It is encourag-
ing to read that Ireland is rapidly
increasing her export of goods for
consumption. In.. 1904, when re-
cords werefirst kept, Ireland's ex-
ports of food and drinkamounted
to $80,00a000. In 1912 they had ad-
vanced to $115,000,000. This. shows
,tun improvement of ° nearly 50 per
cent in . the short space of eight
years.
It is apparent from, these figures
that the development of Irish trade
Is mainly -.a question of sympathe-
tic protlucti'on, organizes?; -marketing

and advertisement. On the whole,
bhe'futture of'Iietand is bright and

"There was a young woman; a
pronounced bruliette," said Lord
' Kitbhener of Khartoum,, "who came
,Out to Cape Town disguised as a
;lady nurse, her object being to keep
Cher eye on her husband who held a
billet under General Forrestier-
Walk-er' at the base. Later on ' he
was unfortunately sent to the front,
where still more unfortunately, _heV
was forthwith picked off by a. wan-
dering Mouser bullet. The widow
(was :such a victim to the luxury of
!unrestrained grief that it was .ob-
served her: raven locks turned am -
her in a single night. Thus," ad-
i'ded his Lordship with a malicious
:grin, "Fast and West do occasion-

as an indication of her bereavement
'and the widow from the banks of

uncontrollable sorrow."

The cannibals of Cuba do not place`
their victim:{ on a spit and cook theta
barbecre fashion of«roast thesis flake
turkeys. in great pans, as they do in At-
rice, but they de sat the hearts of their
victims if they get the opportunity, as
the evidence' brought out in the Cama-
guey trial demonstrates. This evi-
dence shows that the voodclo woman
Mercedes Reclo told. Juan+i'ino, the fa-
ther of the small negro „poy whom he
instructed how to kill the white boy,
that the whites had never done any-
thing frr him, that he was bowed arid
bent new 'with rheumatism'from carry=
ing ammunition during the revolution,.
and the whites had reaped all the bene-
fit of his work and had given him no-
thing in return. '
"There. is only one' thing that will
oureyou," this black female fiend told
the old man, "and that.is the heart of.
a white child. Eat of the heartof a
white : child and you will be cured."
The Recto woman wanted the blood
of the little victim, too, because she.
thought it u:ould cure her of tubercu-
losis, and -she told • Pino to get , the
heart for himself; He then instructed.
tis son how to kill. He told him' that
"from the jugular.vein you can get the
most blood," and showed him where it
was. `The littie•negre'then lnvited'the'
white boy to go with him and eat man-
goes. He told the: judge how he had
attacked his victim and for fear he
might escape -had' first cut off his legs.
He then cut the jugular vein so he
could get the blood for the Recto wo-
man and then tried to get out the
heart so his father could eat it.
This horrible.practice is due to the
densest ignorance. These voodoos do
not kill from passion or for money, but
because they are so ignorant that they
think itwill do them• good to get the
blood or the heart of a white child.
Such ignorance reflects no' credit on
Cuba. There are at most only a few
thousands' of these voodoos or canni-
bals in Cuba, and If foreign mission-
aries have been able to convert the
savage tribes of Africa from their can-
nibalism, surely the government, ought
to be able to do the samehere.

WINDFALLS FOR KING.
Southport Lally Left £51,004) for
Use of the Crown.
Southport's (England) intestate
spinster, Miss Amanda Cooper, has
provided the crown -with one of its
greatest windfalls. Her fortune
of 851,000 will be paid to the trea-
sury "for useof the king."
The phrase is no empty form of
words, says the Sheffield Telegraph,
for his majesty does have actual
control over all estates which re-
vert to :,the crown in consequence
of their owners dying without re-
latives. If these crown windfalls
are estimated over a. long of
years it will be found that the
Southport amount has several
times been exceeded.
On two occasions the treasury has
raked in estates of no less than
8200,000 -.one from a, Cheltenham
man ' in 1881,: the other from a
lunatic in 1884.
In recent years the most remark-
able instanoe: of 'thecrown's luck
was 2150,000 in 1905, from the es
tate of the romantic .recluse of
Folkestone, Captain George Lind-
say Anthony Wilson, who changed
his name, cut himself adrift from
the world, and allowed his posses
sions,to take care of themselves.
During 1013, ninety-seven _ es-
tates were reported to the a.ine's
and lord treasurer's reineni.brancer
crown i
as having fallen to the ca. r n.
Scotland, among them beim; that
of Dean William Hatt of Dundee.
The amount received in r4'spcct of
estates during the year wail 213,.655.

Pleurisy is far too serious to neglect:

Quickest relief will come from a vig-
orous rubbing with Nerviline. This
trusty old pain reliever will fix you up
in no time—will take away the conges-
tion—make you well just as it did Mr.
Samuel St. Johns, of Stamford, who
says: --•"In running to catch a train
last week I became much overheated,
I put' up the train window and rode
that way in order to get cooled off. In
an hour my side was so full of pain
and my breathing lrurt so much that I
thought I had pneumonia. I always
carry Nerviline in say grip, and at des-
tination .I rubbed my side thoroughly
three times. a warm penetrating
effect was soon noticeable and I quick-
ly got relief. Nerviline, I consider,
saved me from a serious illness."
Any sort of a cold ,can be quickly
broken up with Nerviline, which is a
marvel for reducing inflammation, for
relieving congestion in the throat and
chest, fora curing stitch •in the side,
lumbago, neuralgia; sciatica or rheu-
matism. Nothing more soothing or
powerful. The 50c. large family size

DEPUTY 11IINIS'TER OF MILITIA
Col. Engene Fiset Was Man of War
From Boyhood.
The Deputy Minister of 'Militia is
"a man of war from his youth up."
If long service is any justification
for promotion in the militia, he is
abundantly qualified. He went in-
to camp with his regiment at the
age of ten. He comes of a mil-
itary father. He is the son of Hon.
J. B. R. Fiset, of the Canadian
Senate. His father was Lieet-Col
onel of the 89th Regiment of Ri-
mouski, and he took his son with
him to camp at the'"age of ten.
Young Eugene Fiset went as a bu-
gler, and his first taste of military
life decided hie fate. He was caught
with the military - spirit. He loved
the life he stayed with it. At ,six-
teen he was provisional second lieu-
tenant in his father's. regiment; in
five years he was lieutenant; and
three years after that he was major.
He is : now full Colonel in the per-
nianent' force of the Dominion, and
has qualified for the rank of Sur-
geon -General.
Colonel Eugene Filet, D.S.O.,
has an active - service record, of
which no soldier need be "ashamed.•'
He went out to South Africa with
`the first Canadiancontingent; and
MIStrair
Col.. Eugene Fiset, D.S.O.
he was thrice mentioned in the des-
patches for bravery under fire. Col-
onel Fiset be it known, is not only
a military man; he is also .a sur-
geon; and it was as .a succorer of
the wounded that he won his honors
on
the . veldt. The first' occasion
on which he was mentioned in the
despatches was the first . day at
Paardeburg. The incident it thus
told in the oleial report sent home.
by Colonel Otter :
"The company stretcher bearers
exhibited great pluck, and five of
them : were among - the wounded;
three were wounded in carrying
Capt. Arnold from. the firing line,
the stretcher on which he was be-
ing made aspecial object of atten-
tion by the Boer marksmen. In.
eonnection with this incident I frust
note the courage displayed by Sur -
Capt Piset, who, when the +stret-
cher on ` which Capt.; Arnold was
being brought to • the rear was,
stopped a .•short distance from the
firing line by the wounding of one
of the bearers,, went forward and
attended to Capt. Arnold, and
subsequently assisted as bearer in
bringing him to the rear, .Capt
Fiset also attended to many of the
wounded under fire duringthe
day."
Gazetted as Major.
For this act of bravery, Capt.
Piset was given promotion on the
field of battle, and oti March 1,
1000, only a few days after Cronje
surrendered, he was gazetted as
Major of the Army Medical. Service
in the Imperial Army, the Frank
which he held throughout the .rest
of the ca.mpaign. He . stayed in

South Africa till the war was over
and 'returned to England with Oo1-
onel. 'Otter.:- He was on the field
in every important action in which
the Canadians participated, includ-
ing Popular Grove, Dreifontein,
'lout Nek, and Zand River ; and for
his bravery at Paardeburg and in
these other engagements he was
awarded the Distinguished Servide
Order, which was bestowed upon
him by Earl Minto on Paardeberg
Day, 1903.
Colonel Fiset inherited not only a
love for the army, he inherited also
a love for the mance' of Aescuia-
pius. His father had been a militia
surgeon before him ; and the young
man followed enthusiastically in
the parental footsteps. He obtain-
ed. his early education at. Rimouski
College, and thence went on to
Laval University, where he gradu-
ated in 1898 at the. age 'of twenty-
two,." with the title' of. -Bachelor of
Medicine ;r t,.iv4s'as a nnedieal man
that he sei?ed throughout the South
African campaign., and on his way
back to the 'Dominion he took spec-
ial cottrtses'in'London and Paris in
the treatment of the eye, ear, nose
and throat. He is thus well: quali-
fied to serve his country in a. civil
career as well as in the militia.
Appointed by Special Act.
The present organization of the,
medical service of the Canadian.
militia bears the -impress of Colonel
Fiset's abilities, Soon after his re-
turn from South Africa he became
Staff Ajutant for the• Medical. Ser-
vice, and in 1903 he was appointed
Director -General of the Medical
Service, and the ,service was put on
its present basis under his super-
vision. He entered upon these du-
ties with the .rank of'Lieut.-Colonel
but a year later became full Col-
onel of the Permanent Army Medi-
cal Corps. He still holds • this rank
although he has been seconded for
duty on the, civil side.of the militia,
and, on July 23, 1913, be became
qualified by service for the rank of
Surgeon ' General, which corres-
ponds to Major-General among the
fighting men.

NEST IN BOOKCASE.,
Robin Knew a Thing or Two and:
Hatched Its Brood.
A correspondent of the Scotsmae
tells of a robin which recently chose
a novel site for its nest. After hay-
ing been frustrated twice in an at-
tempt to built on the top of a ward-
robe, in different rooms, it finally
selected a. shelf in :a; wall-bookhase
in the dining -room; half-filled • with
ornaments: Behind these it piled up
a large nest,: made entirely of
withered' leaves, dry green' moss,
and a Hale 'ha '. The -nest was com-
pleted in less than three days.
Then the robin disappeared :fora
week, but it did not desert its home
and within a fortnight five eggs
were ]aid and duly hatched, the
parent birds 'sharing' the labors of
lncubatio l'arid feeding the young.
A window was ` left open and it
was amusing for the neat fortnight
watching them busily occupied in
supplying the nestlings, first with
flies and insects and "later with
worms, while butter 'stolen from the
table was an irresistable luxury.
Four weeks flail). the when the
robin began to sit, the feedglings
were 'out of the nest, and ' after
twenty-four hours in the house they
were able to fly to shelter. out-of-
doors, and----- --on i to sight.

Tragicthough their intentions'ap
parenttly were, a in,arried couple
named Blin have caused 'amusement
to the townfolk of 'Bar -sur -Aube,
France, by the .results of their re-
peated attempts to ..commit suicide.
Blin started by 'trying to hang
y g
himself in the sellar, but the rope
was not etrong enough and he was
deposited on the floor, Mme Blin,
deeply affected by her husbaud's act
proceeded , to do likewise, with a
similar result. The couple then
tried ,suffocation by gas but work-
men : epairing the main stopped' the
supply, preventing the tragedy.
Undismayed at this new failure,
and as though "never say die" was
her -motto, Mme. Blin threw herself
down a 'twenty foot well, Biin fol-
lowing, but there was barely three
feet of water in the well. After
several hours their whereabouts
were discovered by neighbors who
