According to a magazine writer "Patti lives, not only in our hearts, but really in the flesh, at the age of 76, in her magnificent castle of Craig -y -Nos, 10 miles north of Swan- sea, in South Wales, on which she has spent quite half a million, She lives there with her third husband, 13aron Cederstrom, and soriletimes, when they feel inclined, they throw open their theatre, .a replica of the Baireutll Theatre, to the countryside and give one of the operas in which Patti once thrilled the world, Until recently Patti was even sometimes prevailed upon to appear at Albert Hall in London for the benefit of some charity, but her beauty is quite gone—it vanished far earlier than her voice and so, for the most part, she is happiest in her Welsh fast- nesses, among the neighbors, who will always call her the "ween of Wales.'

Possibilities of Bay of Fundy. Separating Nova Scotia from the mainland is an arm of the sea called the Bay of Fundy. There the moon gets in some very picturesque work. Its attraction piles up the stater in. the bay to such •an extent that the later rises andfalls twenty feet twice in twenty-four hours. Why not provide extensive reser- voirs for the reception of some of this water, and allow ,it (in flowing out) to operate turbines? A small fraction of the power that thus goes to waste would suffice to run the ma- chinery of all the factories on the Atlantic coast, operate all the rail- roads and trolleys, light: all the cities and heat all the houses and business buildings. IVlany 'years ago a United States warship lying in a Chinese river lost ohe of its big guns overboard. How the'accident happened is not a m at- ter bf record, but this has nothingto do with the story. The gun lay half buried in the mud of the river bottom and all attempts to fish • it up proved fruitless,; Then a Chinaman came along and offered. to undertake the job., The terms were no pay unless he delivered the goods. "Go ahead," said the officer in. command—incredulous, of course, for how could a Chinaman accomplish what Americans had found to be impracticable? The Chinaman brought half a, dozen helpers and some tall "sheerlegs," which he planted deep in the mud. The sheerlegs were provided with a' sub - f stantiel wooden float, which was at- tached by', ropes to the gun—the water being of no great depth. t The next tide raised the float six feet and with it the gun. Made fast at that height, timbers were placed be- neath the float again and yet again, so that each subsequent tide lifted it, and the gun alomr with it, an addi Lionel six :feet. The process ivas con - tinned until the gun was raised clear potatoes is the normal supply requir The German officer occasionally sal- utes a British officer.

One hazards the guess that the Germans may think the Ameri- cans more friendly than the. British, but one cannot understand the reason- ing. Yet another point which astonishes the naval officer. ' At the very time that the German High Seas Fleet was abandoning its proud title by refus- ing to fight, a gallant submarine offi- cer—for there is no other adjective to most men's minds—made an at- tempt to get into Scapa . Flow and work havoc among the units of the British Fleet then assembled there. He failed, and his submarine was blown up ow ng o our a equa e de- fences, but it was a bold attempt and in accord With the best traditions of naval warfare. Truly, one is "hanged if one knows where to start" to understand the German naval mind.

It isa sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels the cern without in- flaming or even irritating the surround- ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every bard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit.

ED 7e ISSUE 7--'19 Co-operative Farms for Disabled Sol- diers Started in England. Among the myriad schemes for rendering disabled soldiers self-sup- porting and at the same time happy, is the Vanguard Farm at Sutton Val - I ence, Kent. Splendid acreage has been secured and the farm is worked I co-operatively. Severely injured sailors and soldiers with their families I can settle on the land, each family being given a cottage, stock, seeds, etc. The community does the farm- ing, each member contributing ac- cording to his physical ability. Any surplus products and stock are sold through the co-operative centre. T.heree.. is an arangement whereby members of the colony may purchase their cottages, land and stock by easy instalments. The work on the farm is already under way andthere is a long list of applicants. Since there will, in all probability, be similar attempts in Canada to provide Garden Cities or co-operative farms, the question of up-to-date housing that is also economical and low in its first cost isone that will, receive investigation. Probably one of the best of these is what is called the "pour house." In the Self Mas- ters" Colony of Union, New Jersey', of these houses have been fourteen erected. A set of wooden moulds is built at the . cost of a few thousand dollars -and concrete is poured into them. These moulds are rented to the house builders and within a week the house his finished, a six -room, thousand dollar house, proof against fire, vermin and earthquakes, forever free from repairs, insurance and a non-conductor of heat or cold. When the concrete is set the inoul'ds are re- moved and rented to the next home- steader. et The Queen's.

Ie had only been "out there" some two months when he made a tour o;» the lines an the Menin road while they were being heavily shelled. "Dug gie" displayed the coolness which characterizes all his movements,: and the effect was notable, for the troops, falling back under an overwhelming attack, rallied at once and drove the enemy back. Not long afterwards Sir Douglas was actually stumped by a shell which killed some of his staff, but he "ear -1 ried on" despite his shaking. These instances are not the only cases in which the Corps or Arany Commander was in danger from the enemy's shells. Winas d's Liniment Chuen SSipltt ici9x. When. the Floor Cracks.
