There is a. striking illustration in Das Bitch fur Allo of the fact that it is not necessary to roam over the world to find adventure. The German merchant of the story found it in his own peaceful house, in the quiet town of his birth. It happened on his daughter's wedding day, about sixty years ago. The happy father was al- ternately welcoming the guests and bustling about attending to final de- tails. In one of the halls he met a maid carelessly carrying a lighted candle without its .holder; He did not rebuke her, as she was not one of the regu- lar 'servants, but had only been brought in to help for the occasion. In a short time she returned from the cellar, her arms full of bottles, but with no candle. The absence of the light sent a sickening thought sweep- ing over the merchant. Only the day before several barrels of black pow- der had been stored in, the cellar, and ane of them had been opened in order to get a sample for a customer. "Where is that candle?" be asked her quickly, with his heart in his mouth. "1 bad my hands full and couldn't bring it up," the maid answered. • "Where did you leave it?" "I stuck it in the black sand in the open barrel," she explained. But the merchant had not waited to hear her out, Into the hall and down the cellar steps he stumbled. His knees were shaking, his breath caught in his throat; death already seemed to have its grip upon him. Just beneath the room in which the guests were assembled stood the fatal barrel, the burning tallow candle up- right in the powder. To his horror, he saw a long piece of burned -out wick sagging" in the reddish flame. If that spark should. fall! He made a desperate sp ate wove toward the candle— ,and stopped. The slightest touch or breath might shake that glowing bit of wick into the powder. He heard the sound of laughter from above, and . he trembled. He stared at the light, powerless to move. Suddenly the end of the wick nod- ded, and with its movement the mer- chant recovered from his momentary paralysis. Cautiously he thrust both hands toward the candle; then, with a sudden squeeze, he smothered the wick and flame in his grasp. Never relaxing his hold, he carried the candle the length of the cellar. Then he fainted. The Blushing Brides. "Why are brides generally expected to be blushing as they walk down the aisle ?" "I suppose," replied Saffron Long, glancing cautiously about and lower- ing his voice, "that a good many of them blush to think how they are go- ing to subdue the lords of creation after they've safely got them."

Stories of Their Calm Daringin the Jutland Battle. • Mr. Arthur Pollen, in Land and Water, gives these stories of the bravery of naval chaplains in the re- cent fight "In the 6 -inch battery of one ship an enemy shell set fire to a cordite charge, and there being others in close proximity, the officer of quar- ters at once gave orders to clear the battery, e y. Before the order could be obeyed, two boys were knocked over by the ignition of a second charge. "A naval chaplain went back, brushed the burning propellant off them and pulled them out, and got badly burned about the face and hands in doing so. With every fea- ture disfigured and almost blinded, he was led, almost by force, below. The pain must have been excrutiating; But he protested he wasan absolute fraud, not a bit hurt, and that they ought to be giving their attention to people who were seriously injured. "Another chaplain, hit in the spine, was told by the doctor that he only had alew hours to live, He sat in the chair, conversing cheerily with those around him till death came—by far the least concerned of all in the cem- 4 Pang" THE SHADOW OF BROKEN HEALTH Can Be Quickly Dispelled Through the Use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

WARNING TO THE PUBIC. Parcels for Prisoners of War Must Be Strongly Packed. The Canadian Post Office Depart- ment has been notified by the British Post Office that many parcels sent from Canada to prisoners of war in Germany are being received in Lon- don in a damaged condition, so that frequently they have to be repacked before they can be forwarded to Hol- land for transmission to Germany. : The British Post Office adds that in most cases the damage appears to be due to the fact that .the parcels were inadequately packed by the senders. The public are warned,' therefore, that parcels for prisoners of war, un- less they are very strongly packed, will probably arrive in such condition as to be of little or no use to the re- cipients. Ordinarily thin cardboard boxes, such as shoe -boxes, and thin wooden boxes should not be used; nor does a single sheet of ordinary brown paper afford sufficient protection. Even where proper materials are used, it is important that the contents should be tightly packed so as not to shake about during transit. The following forms of packing are recommended; (1) Strong double cardboard or sirawboard boxes. Those made of corrugated cardboard and having lids which completely enclose the sides of the box are the • most suitable. (2). Tin boxes such as are used for pack- ing biscuits. (3) Strong wooden, boxes. (1) Several folds of stout packing'1)aper.

Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the lungs, If you have Catarrh or (`aturrhal deafness or head -noises, go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double strength). Take this home and add to it i pint.,of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar ; stir until dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times a day.

Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give this treatment a trial. Hopelessly Ignorant. "I dunno how that boy of mine got through college."

The Canadian Pacific Railway is a Great Corporation. If all the trackage over which the Canadian Pacific railway has control --that is, all the leased lines, or lines taken bodily over:, or with running rights. --be included in a grand total, li the company operates to -day 20,000 miles of tracks. This fact alone would tell of the biggness of the corpora- tion which, thirty years ago, issued its first annual statement on a sheet of notepaper. The company owns 100,000 miles of telegraph; 10,000,000 acres of unsold lands, worth $200,- 000,000; 200;000,000; and controls shipping to the extent of 400,000 tons. One of the notable features of the great eorpor- ation is, that it takes account of so many things, whieh, at the first blush, might not seern to be related to rail- way transportation. The comfort of the inner man on the trains is, of course, of prime moment; but note how the Canadian Pacific Railway went out of its way to provide dietetic gastronomy. The railway company milks its own cows, and makes its' own soap. It bakes its own bread;1; and it bores a tunnel through: the mountains above the clouds, It grows its own potatoes, and its policies are of world-wide import and significance.

When he was left alone the recruit went over these orders again and again. Suddenly his musing was in- terrupted by the approach of an of- ficer. This was a general, and the recruit did nob know what to do for him.
