down to drink and talk, quite uncon-

their conversation joyeett leartied
that Tarleton commanded an advance

made off. Wild with anger, I started
after them, calling them names and
threatening to anulleilate them, and so
Sudnenly a band on my collet

Plague of the Black Death.
That terrible plague the black death,
originating somewhere in the east,
passed by way of Armenia into Asia
and thence to Egypt and north Africa.
Reaching Sicily in 1346, it spread over
Italy, France and nearly all of the
countries of Europe, including the
British isles. The mortality was ap-
ple/ling, some 25,000,000 of people dy-
ing from the dread epidemic. Tbe na-
ture of the great pestilence has been a
tpatter of much controversy, but it is
generally conceded that it was closely
related to what is known today as the
"bubonic plague."-Netv York Aneerie

Small wonder that the British Em-
pire, without conscription or pressgang
methods, is such a power in the world
to -day, '
A few weeks ago the dispatches look-
ed ugly in regard to affairs in Ireland.
'Ulster home -rulers and antihome-rulers
were armed to the teeth; they had ob-
tained their arms in direct violation of
every chapter of law and authority;
civil war was freely mentioned; in fact,
it was sufficiently grave to warrant the
King in doing a very unusual thing in
calling a conference of the political
leaders to avoid an open resort of viol-
, erne. What has become of the Irish
question? It has not been settled, but
tit has been put in the background by a
danger common to all. It's a big, virile
people, and none other, that can drop
iinternal differences the moment that it
becomes impeyative to present a bold
and united front.

Those who /ove experimentation may
try the following method of making a

Take eight grams of pulverized
phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate
of potassium, two grams of pulverized
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in
sixty grams of alcohol. Put the wbole
in a long, slender bottle closed at the
top with a piece of bladder eontaining
a pinhole to admit tbe air. When rain
lie coming the solid particles will tend
gradually to mount, little star crystals
forraing in the Ilcmid, which otherwise
remains clear. If high winds are ap-
proaching the liquid will become thick,
as if fermenting, wW-le a film of solid
particles forms on the surface. During
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will rest
at tbe bottom.
