Animal and Vegetable Life Exists Near Its Shores. The Dead Sea is not so dead as it has been painted, if we are to believe a recent lecturer before the Royal Geographical Society, Dr, W. G. Mas thuse terton. I i ' is quoted in The English Mechanic and World of Science. "Ancient writers established a myth that the Dead Sea. was an abode of death, that its shores were sterile, and -•that even birds flying over its water were liable to fall dead. All . these ideas are now known to be the reverse of the truth. It was true that the wa- ters were so permeated with salt that no animal or vegetable life could flour- ish in the lour-ish-inthe bulk of its volume, but near the shores, where streams of brackish' water found their way into the sea, small fish, crabs, and mosquito larva] were found, and he had seen fish in the sea. A bottle of water taken from thesame spot immediately afterward was proved to contain no less than 83.8 per cent. of solids. In one of the Jericho hotels,before the war, there was a declaration jointly signed the same year by over a dozen tourists that they saw fish actively swimming at the same spot. At many 'spots along the shore there are 'cases in which acres of reeds and many trees. nourished, and at such spots animal life and bird life was abundant" Parsnips clo well on land that last year produced potatoes. celery or leeks. of . e Grapeuts teaches f od' conservation® Saves FUEL.

Oberammergau, the little village l it Bavaria that beehive world-famous, as the home of the Passion Play, is vir- tually a deserted village where sor- row broods. All of its male inhabit- ants capable of hearing arms have en- tered the ranks of the Bavarian army, and many have fallen in battle. Miss Madeline Doty, who has visit- ed the village, in recording her ex- periences in the Atlantic Monthly re- lates a conversation that she had with a 'waitress at the little hoel. "The town is sad," we averred. "Why shouldn't it be?" she retort ed, "We have lost so much." "How many men have gone to the war ?" we: asked. "Every one under forty-five,. Five. hundred and fifty out of a population of eighteen hundred." We paused a moment._ It seemed brutal to go on now, but we wanted information. "There were forty killed and forty- eight wounded the first year. I don't know 'the number now. "Will there ever be another Passion Play??„ She shrugged her shoulders, "I3ow can I tell?" Some' of the players and musicians have lost an arm or a leg, and others are dead. The town, no longer has any money." We pushed back our chairs and went out into the golden sunshine. No one moved about the streets. It was like a village swept by a plague and de- serted. War-hasbeen a special disas- ter to Oberammergau. It has dealt a blow at its spiritual as well as its physical welfare. • The Soldier's Father. I'm feeling pretty, much alone And lonely, since the boys are gone. They've left me with the hired man To run the farm as best we can...._ It's hard, and work is moving slow But when their duty calls, they go. , So I, like old man Zebedee, Beside the Lake of Galilee, Said: `Leave behind your cares and frets; I'll stay on here and mend the nets, And keep the tight old bark a -swim; You go and follow Him." The Archbishop of York at Wycliffe College. On his recent visit to Toronto, the Archbishop of York spenta short 'time at Wycliffe College, where the Founders' Chapel was the particular point of his interest, the larger part. of the building being at the present time used for military ' purposes, Doctor O'Meara, the principal showed him the Roll of Honor which gives the names of thirty graduates and seven- ty undergraduates ° who are serving with His Majesty'sforces as Chaplains. of combatants, and the Memorial Roll on which are inscribed the names of two. graduates ,'and seven under- graduates who have paid,' the supreme price of self-sacrificing service. The tablet in memory of the Founders, and Axel Enders'' famous picture of the Resurrection, were objects of his special remark. Before leaving, His Grace offered intercession for the College and its Staff, its students llnd its graduates. He was accompanied by the Arch- bishop of Algona, the Bishop of Tor- onto,' the Mayor of the city, Arch- deacon Cody; and a number ` of clerical and lay friends. The new College flag was flown in honor of his visit. -4 British. Treasury Receives Gift. An envelope containing X500 recent- ly was found in a letter box in Liwer- pool, says a London correspondent.

A New Kind of Foghorn. (,. The new • "fisherman knight,", Sir Thomas Robinson, tells an amusing story,, according to an English week- ly, about an incident that happened during one of his many journeys across the Atlantic. A short time after leaving port the ship on which he was traveling ran into so dense a fog that it was impos- sible for anyone to,, see more than a few, yards ahead. The captain .re- mained on the bridge tnd• took charge of sounding the foghorn himself. After he had sounded the first signal he heard a foghorn in reply directly ahead: To avoid oid a collision he turned'the ship a point and then sounded again. Once more, the reply Ante, "B -o -o -o!" directly ahead; as before. "It was very strange; I could" not make it out," said Se iTlromas in tell: ing the tale: "Neither could the cap- tain. He tried again; still the same 'B -o -o -o!' right ahead. The captain was flabbergasted; and, as for me, I was giving myself a mental shake to pull myself together; when thelook- out man forward, called out: " 'It's only the old cow, sir!' "And so, in truth, it was ---the Milch cow kept on the forecastle for the use of the ship," Protect Birds, Conservation Plea.

LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS How to loosen a tender corn or callus so it lifts out 'without pain. o--o—o—o—o--0—o--o—o—o—o--o —* Let folks step on your feet here- after; wear shoes a size,smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. IIe says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender,aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out, This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or calluswithout even irritating the surrounding tissue. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very, little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's foot. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house. Mixed Them Up.

Said the sergeant at last: "Now, yer bioomin' idiot, hold yer hands in front of yer. Twist them one over the othea;. Stop! Now tell Hie which is yer left hand and which is yer right." The recruit looked blankly at his hands for a moment. "I'ni blowed if I know," he said; "you have gone and mixed 'em up." Minard's Liniment Curer ,Dandruff. A Schoolboy's Idea.
