ELLIOTT Sole Agent Wingham, Ontario n M THE WINGHAM TIMES Page 3 RUSSIAN PRAISES CANADIAN TROOPS A fine tribute to the morale and fighting quality of the Canadian trope is paid by Nemirovitch Danchenko, a famous Russian novelist and war, correspondent, who writes in the London Tirnes of his visit tp the western front He says: "They have splendid faces, those Canadians, with a sincere and happy look. I saw them afterwards at the front, after an ordeal of forty-eight hours' stay in flooded trenches; they wore the same expression. One could see the stuff they were made of, the race that is used to relentless fighting with nature and can stand cold and hardships of which we, in the Old World, can form no idea. "They have splendid faces, those, and walkers; our Siberian fellows, who take aim and shoot a hare through the eye, resemble them. Our chaps, however, are sombre. The quiet of the Siberian forest has made them taciturn. The Canadians, on the contrary. have the joy of life in them. They are calm and steadfast in action. They wavered at first under the heavy German fire, but now they form an iron wall which no fire of the enemy can break. The best quality of the Canadian soldier is calm• ness in attack. He is not hasty, and therefore wastes no energy. "The relations betweeen officers and men are touchingly simple and cor- dial. The 'officers behave like senior comrades. They share with the men the hardships of trench life. The Canadians feed well and are well dressed. Where the Canadians are stationed the Germans have no peace day or night. The enemy has to look sharp, because in spite of all wire en- tanglements the Canadians crawl right up to the enemy's trenches, pouring down a shower of bombs, and organ- ize little expeditions reminding one of the times of Fenimore Cooper."

YEAR .1816 KNOWN AS SUMMER LESS YEAR The year 1816, that is, 100 years ago, says the Perth Expositor, was known as the "summerless summer." Snow commenced falling by the middle of June, by the middle of August it was one foot in depth, and from the first fall of snow in June until the follow- ing summer the earth remained under the covering of the wintry blanket. Absolutely nothing in the way of har- vest was garnered. Everything in the way of crops rotted in the ground. What did the peopie live on? Meat - meat and fish -there were no vege- tables and there was no flour; it was venison and fish to -day, relieved by fish and flesh to -morrow, taken from slaughter -cattle. Hay had to be ship- ped from Ireland to save the starving cattle in Quebec, and it sold there at $45 per ton; flour sold at $10 per barrel in Quetec, and potatoes were one penny a pound. This year was called "the year eighteen hundred and frozen to death." The cause of the cold was be- lieved to be sunspots, which were so Targe that for the first time in their history they could be seen without the aid of a telescope. It was also known as poverty "year". In New Hampshire hay sold at $180 a ton. The next spring the market price of corn was $2 a bushel; of wheat, $2.50; rye, $2; oats, 90c; beans, $3; butter, 25c. lb. (It usually sold in those days at eight or ten cents.) Furtner particulars of the `,summerless summer," the Expositor adds, are among the files of the Grenville Flistorical Society"� State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ss Lucas County Frank J.

Vasography reveals the character, habits and inclinations of people by a simple insprt',1on of noses. According to the system. the nose should be as long as possible, and this is a sign of merit, power and genius. Esen:.ples- Napoleon and Cpes,u', both of whom had large noses. A straight nose de- notes a just, serious and energetic mind. the Roman nose :r propensity for adventure and a Witte aose with epee nostrils is a mark of great sensuality. A. cleft nose shows benevolence. It was the nose of St. Vincent de Paul. The curved tieshy nose is a hark of domination and cruelty. Catherine de Medici and Elizabeth of England had noses of this kind. The curved, thin nose, on the contrary, is a mark of a brilliant mired, but vain and disposed to be ironical. It Is the nose of a dreamer, a poet or a critic. If the line of the nose is re-entrante-that is, it the nose is turned up -it denotes that its owner has a weak mind, sometimes coarse, and generally playful, pleasant and frolicsome. A. pale nose denotes egotism, envy, beartlessness. The quick, passionate, sanguine man bas a strongly colored nose of uniform shade. -London Tit -Bits. DO YOU KNOW? That a new aviation school in Sydney, N. S. W., is open to women. That white -gold is a favorite for June wedding jewelry, says New York. That Isadcra Duncan has just sailed for a tour of South America's chief cities. That Royal purple with t,avy blue is a new color scheme seen in taffeta dresses. That lace berthas give a particularly dainty and summery look to thin frocks of silk or muslin. That a unique feature of a recent Chicago wedding was the bride's se- lection of her attendants from among her married friends. That some of the new boudoir caps - which are often called negligee caps now, by the way -are made like child- ren's bonnets, with strings to tie under the chin. That literature is, after all, the quintessence of human experience put into such form that it awakens both emotion and will. That all except the moderately near- sighted should wear glasses when developing if they would avoid a "dark room" headache. That a new hat is trimmed with real butterflies, properly dried, and placed under white tulle for protection. That man was not made to live alone. and woman does her best to see that he doesn't have to. That pockets are more and more capacious for many of the new linen frocks for summer wear have huge pockets, almost like bags, applied on the skirts. That a U. S. Government expert, after a survey of numberless family budgets, estimates that the necessary cost of a child between the ages of 3 and 5 years is about $100 a year in families where the mother takes care of the child herself. AROMATIC PILLOWS A Great Military Feat. Nonza, in Corsica, is very proud of the story of a great military feat per- formed there long ago. It is told in "Romantic Corsica," by George Ren- wick. The French in 1768 had subjugated all the northern cape with the excep- tion of the tower of Nonza, which for a considerable time sustained a close siege. Attacking parties were driven back by a fierce fire, but at last the garrison agreed to surrender if allow- ed to march out with all the honors of war. This was conceded, and old Captain Cascella appeared, staggering. under a load of muskets and pistols. "Why is the garrison so long in com- ing out?" asked the French com- mander. "It is here, sir," replied Cascella. "I am the garrison." The sweet clover that grows in such luxuriance along roadsides can easily be converted into filling for sofa pil- lows. Cut the clover when in bloom and lay it in some clean cool loft to dry. After it is dry, break it up, re- moving any woody stems. and with it fill the slips. It makes a delightfully fragrant pillow, and one you'll like to rest your head on. Pine -needle properly dried is another excellent material. The faint piney odor makes one think he is almost among the pines. If you'll make at least one pillow of this kind for your lounge or den this year, I know it will not be the last one. A pillow of this kind, just covered in some fast washable material, would be highly prized by our city friends. It would be a gift not easily duplicated. Eczema and Sore Eyes. "My daughter suffered from inflamed eyelids and eczema on her head," writes Mr. H. W. Lear, Port Planford, Nfld. "The child was in a bad state and suffered greatly. The - failed to B Y• help her, and on, recommendation of a friend, I used Dr. r. Chasers Ointment, which made a cornplete cure. With a gratettil heart I write you` this letter. The Italian transport Principe t1n - bertd was sunk by Austrian submar- ines. Needs No Lightning Rod, A building 0,000 feet above sea Level should be protected by lightning rods, one thinks, but the astronomical obser- vatory at Mount Etna has not and does not need such protectiou. The observatory is near the summit of the volcano, and the stream of vapor con- stantly rising from the crater acts as a natural conductor, draining the elec- tricity out of the clouds, so that light- ning is sAdor.1 seen there. At the Play. Mr. Frontseat--\Vill I have time to go out and get a drink, usher? Usher (referring to curtain) -It won't stay down a minute. sir. Frontseat (sharply) -That's my busi- ness: An Old Hand. "What was the first thing your hus- band said when you got started on your wedding journey?" "'Excuse me while 1 go forward and have a smoke.' You know, it was the third time for him." Why Bixby Doesn't Go. "Bixby sent the minister ten reasons for not going to church, but he left out the main one." "What is that?" "He stays away because his wife doesn't make him go." Studied Under Him. Famous Painter (angrily) -I hear, sir, that you're boasting that you studied art under me? Near Painter (calmly) - And so I did, sir; so I did. Why, I oc- cupied a room under your studio'for nearly a month. During the past year over 350,000 applications for naturalization were received by the United States Bureau of Naturalization. .. • The term melodrama was originally used to designate only that form of theatrical entertainment in which the dialogue was interspersed with music "Janet' Canuck," Mrs. Arthur Mur- phy of Edmonton, has been appointed a police magistrate, with a jurisdiction over all cases in which women and girls are concerned. Warning is issued by the Dominion Hospital Commission against unauthor- ized persons collecting money for the alleged assistance of Canadian soldiers blinded in battle. For temporarily lighting outdoor places an' acetylenn torch has been invented, to be thrust in the ground,. while a cylinder containing carbide is placed in a pail of water. Australia has adopted a system of compulsory military training for every young man between the ages of twelve and twenty-six years. From the ages of twelve to eighteen, drills, athletic exercise's and shooting are a part of the regular school • work. The junior cadets have not less "than fifteen twentymin- utes daily for one hundred and days a year, and the senior cadets considerably more. At the ageof eighteen years the young man becomes a citizen soldier, and for the next eight years gives from sixteen to twenty= five days a year to training, a part of the time in camp. • The.

Then Mrs. Jones, one afternoon, drop=, ped in, at time most opportune. An optimist, she knew the wiles of house- hold work -its sighs and smiles. She told of how she polished floors and wood- work oodwork and the endless doors, until when Hubby saw them, too, First "Push Button." Benjamin Franklin invented the elec- tric lecttric "push button." This was accom- plished in 1751. He "shocked" the rail- ing ailing in front of his Philadelphia resi- dence, finding the idlers of the street were too fond of gathering under his window. This so alarmed them that they no longer gave the philosopher of- fense. The ‘`.Floor -and -Door -a" Girl reflections said: "Why, howdy -do!" "The Gold Dust Twins," said she, "I find, help leave the woes of dust behind. Each mark of sticky hands on doors, each tread of tmomme muddy feet on floors, all fade before the slightest touch of Gold Dust, and the work is such that, when the woodwork has been done, I find t said work was only fun."

From kitchen floor to bedroom suite, these tireless little chaps make neat, and best of all, the sum expense is measured up in meager cents. They put both dust and,dirt to rout and run the last old microbe out. Constructive Legislation. First Lawyer -What makes you think we shall not be able to get this law passed by the legislature? Sec- ond Lawyer -It's too simple. Almost any one can understand it. It ought to be so complex and vagpe that nobody can understand it. Then it is bound to pass, because nobody would admit that he didn't understand it. Woman's Desire to Attract.
