the, ""Empress of France," before the
war popularly known as the SS. "Al-
satian" and one of the ocean grey-
hounds between Canada and Liverpool.
The vessel lias been reconditioned
since the war ceased and recently
completed her maiden trip to Quebec
under her new name. Her interior ar-
rangements and fittings Will .compare

respect, The 'Empress of
France" has a length of 600 ft.; beam
72 ft„ depth (to 1) deck) 54 ft, 6"in.;
and a tonnage'of 18,000 gross, A
striking peculiarity is the cruiser's
stern, which imparts a warlike ap-
pea'aance to the vessel. Her war re-
cord is one to be proud of.
The "Empress of France" as the
SS. "Alsatian" was requisitioned for
war purposes under Royal Proclama-
tion immediately on her arrival at the
port of Liverpool, midnight on the
6th of August, 1914. `After. completion
of discharge, the entire reluuval of all
passenger accommodation and other
woodwork, she was armed with 8-6 in.
guns, commissioned and manned by a
naval crew under the command of
Captain V. Phillimore, D.S.Q„ and 'wae
attached to the 10th Cruiser Squad-
ron on northern patrol duty, sailing
from Liverpool on August 15th, at
which port she has been based during
the entire period of her commission.

Found by the Plumber.
A
plumber had a bit of luck some
time since when lee was called to. a big
hotel to discover the cause. for the
stoppage in a certain waste -pipe. He
found in the bend of the pipe a dia-
mond ring, which, leaving gradually
collected and arrested all sorts of
odds and ends, had effectually block-
ed the passage of the water.
The plumber, being an honest man,
gave the ring into the custody of the
proprietor, and he, being also honest,
and remembering that one of his
guests had complained of.the loss of
a
valuable ring three months before,
wired to that gentleman to come at
once. On his arrival be identified the
ring as his property, and bestowed a
crisp ten -pound note on the plumber,
for the ring was worth twenty times
that sung.
Cite of the .directors of the Bank of
England a good; many years ago
bought an estate, and drew a single
note fo;' •hirty thousand pounds to pay
for it. On reaching home, he put the
note on the mantlepieee, was called
from the reoui, and, on his return,
missed the note. Where could it
be? Theft seeined out of the question,
for nobody had been in the room. A
sudden draught and the flaming fire
seemed the true solution, and another
note was %cued to replace the lost one.
'intim years later the first note was
presented at the Bank, and, .being p:ay-
able to "bearer," was honored. In-
quiry showed that the banker's house
Lad been bought by a builder, and
one of his workmen, as the house was
beir.,,, demolished, lirtd discovered the
i old note, quite uninjured, though much
soiled, to a crevice in the ollininey.'
Whet are the rights and wrongs of
that transaction?

Then she tackled a porter.
"What time does the Iast train go?"
she demanded anxiously.
"Nine -fifteen, ma'am," -replied the
porter.
Per another five minutes she rushed
about, looking wildly round Then she
met the porter again.
"What time did you say?" she asked.
"Nine -fifteen," said the porter, a
trifle curtly.
The lady stood wringing her hands

"Sipe . inight, " replied Johnny. "But

money."
"Well; about how much do. you think
she would ask for you?"
'•:\ thousand dollars," promptly an-

of which were Armed ilercantil

consisted of the stopping of vessel

any members of the passengers or

their nationality and business. Avail-

ninny of these proved to be engaged.

In the early part of 1918, circum
stances permitted' of the 20th Cruiser
Squadron being considerably reduced
M numbers, and vessels so engaged
being allocated to Convoy Protection
Duty, the "Alsatian" figuring amongst
the number and being stationed on
the North Atlantic route in such ca-
pacity. While so engaged she escort-
ed nine convoys of about 20 vessels
each, carrying an estimated number
of troops per convoy of 30,000, prin-
cipally . Americans.
While engaged on Convoy Escort
duties the "Alsatian" also carried.
troops and cargo, the number of form -1
er per voyage being about 600, and
the weight of cargo per voyage be-
tween 2,000 and 3,000 tons. She made
her last voyage on Government Ser- 1
vice in November, 1918, sailing from
Liverpool on the 14th; and redocked
at that port -on December llth, 1918,
having steamed a total distance on
Government Service of 266,741 miles
and consumed 170,571 tons of coal.
On January 17th, 1919, she left for
Glasgow, having been placed in the
hands of her builders—Messrs. Beard-
more & Co.—by the' Admiralty for re-
conditioning, being- redelivered -to the
C.P.O.S. at the Port of Liverpool on
Thursday, September 25th, and sailed
for Quebec on Friday, September 26th.

Are you keeping your liver and

Cascarets work while you sleep;
they cleanse the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested, fermenting food and
foul gases; take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the constipated waste matter and
poison in the bowels. Cascarets never
gripe, sicken or cause inconvenience
and Cascarets cost so little too.
