Married in Toronto.
The marriage of Miss Charlotte A.
Chaplin, daughter of the late W. L.
Chaplin and Mrs.'Chaplin, of St. Catha-
rines, to Mr. Daltop Davies, of the
Bank of: Commerce, took place on Sat-
urday at two o'clock in St. Andrew's
Church, King street, Toronto, the Rev.
Dr. Smith (St. Catharines) officiating,
assisted by the pastor of the church,
the Rev. T. Crawford Brown. The
bride, who was unattended, looked ex-
tremely handsome, and was brought in
and given away by her brother, Mr. W.
3. Chaplin, St. Catharines. Mr.Davies
is a former well-known :tanager of the
Bank of Commerce in Wingham. Many
old friends here will extend congratu-
lations.
Denaonstration Car Here.
Many of our citizens,availed them-
selves of the opportunity to visit the
Government demonstration car, on Sat-
urday afternoon. The car was on the
siding at the C. P. R. station, and was
open to visitors from three to nine
o'clock p m. The exhibits were of
much interest to both town and country
people, which was demonstrated by the
number present. The car was taste-
fully decorafed in patriotic colors and
the exhibits were nicely arranged.
Sheep and poultry were the two sub-
jects dealt with, but the greater in-
terest being taken in the poultry
diviaion. Models of buildings and trans-
portation facilities plainly portrayed
the right and the wrong way of hand-
ling eggs. The wrong way was shown
by the unsanitary poultry house, built
in the barnyard, where the hens often
laid around a straw stack, the eggs be-
ing found after they were weeks old -and
shipped with the others. Then there
was the careless way of handling them
in the house. Often they were kept
open or near kerosene and other strong
smelling articles; from there they were
loaded in open conveyances and drawn
to the country store where they would,
be bought in crate lots and left outside
for an indefinite period. Then on again
to the country station, where they are
again left out on the platform in all
kinds of weather. The right way to
handle eggs was shown to be: have
onl:v one breed of poultry; sanitary
houses away from the barnyard; very
careful handling of eggs; never left ex-
posed to the weather; bought en the
quality plan; all eggs candled with per-
fect i atisfactien to the consumer. A
demonstration was given of egg cand-
ling. A new laid egg when held before
a lightshould not show an air eell larger
than a 10 -cent piece. Rough handling
of eggs break the yolk and the egg
appears cloudy. When blood spots ap-
pear in the egg the only remedy is to
kill the hen, Dampness turns an egg
musty and a thick eleudy subitance ap-
peara a one end. In the sheep depart -
mein, fleeces of almost every variety,
of sheep were exhibited in every stage

instructive address on the work of the
different departments, especially em-
phasizing temperance work in the Sun-

With thit Women Who Wait.
"Kit" is one of the few women in the
world who have seen war close -lip,
with nothing to do but get the feel of
it. She wasn't a nurse, nor a Red
Cross cook. She was just a woman -
heart :in which the terrible forces of
destruction have etched unforgetable
pictures. Read this from tl4e Novem-
ber Canada Monthly:
"Not to many women has it come to
see blood shed in war time. It is not a
nice sight. Time accustoms the ear to
the sound of guns booming, to the sound
ef cannonading, of explosions, Just as
we become accustomed to hearing carts
and cars rattle along the streets, so we
may become accustomed to hearing the
crash of artillery. But not all shot
men die easily."
"The writer—naturally not in wo-
man's apparel—once lodged in a trench
in company with a New York newsboy
a little beggar who has 'beat' his way
down on the Segurance, the Comal—
but the name of the transport doesn't
matter. It was a queer lodgment and
an odd comradeship. But we saw
things. Better we had never saw
them. They will not bear description.
Such would affront you, harass you.
Suffice it, the child and the woman were
trembling. Only in the mind of the
woman motherhood was working. She
had a little fellow of her own, at home
in Canada—a small sturdy man, such as
these grown and ardent men were once
to their mothers.
"A :man doesn't grow away from his
mother. He thinks he does, but she
knows otherwise. She sits silent, and
very proud, while he is out fighting—
making a position and a name for him-
self in the big battle we call Life. But
let him ail, let him grow sick and weak;
and he —big and brawny and fine—is
just her baby again.
"And this is how a woman feels in
war time. She mothers not only her
own but all 'the boys.' From fine
house and little home alike the women
have knit their love with every twist
of the needle into the loops of wool.
Out in the country can the farmer's
wife or girl tell what lad will be wear-
ing the work of her hands? Does she
care? Not she. She is working for
her boy. He may be another's but he
is hers for the hour.
