The sun thous from a cloudless sky; every detail on each array in the field was visible to the other, and both were beheld at once from the citadel.. There were three French marshals present, and it was Schumberg's turn to command. He drew up his 20,000 men in four lines, with skirmishers in front, and the regular cavalry were placed at stated intervals. ready to charge. In this impressive order and In abso- lute silence the French advanced until nearly within cannon shot, when at a signal the army was halted and shunt. taneously knelt down to pray. Then followed the order to attack, which was silently and cheerfully obeyed.

HOW'S TI11S? LAWS OF WAR ON LAND. Adopted to Save Conquered States From Organized Pillage. The Hague laws of war on land, drawn up in 1899 and 1901 and adopt- ed by all nations, were designed to check the rapacity of conquerors and to save vanquished states from organ- ized spoliation, says Case and Com. went, Pillage is formally forbidden. This is a prohibition against the looting of captured towns, against acquiring booty at the expense of private proper. ty, but does not, of course, forbid the seizure of horses, arms or military sup- plies taken on the field of battle. The taws further permit a military occupant to levy, in addition to the or- dinary taxes, money contributions for the needs of the army or of the admin- istration of the occupied territory. Con- tributions are to be required only on a written order and on the responsibility of a commander in chief. Their collection is to be regulated by the rules in force for the assessment of taxes, and in every case a receipt is to be given to the individual payer. But this voucher, while evidence that mon- ey, goods or service has been exacted, implies in itself no promise to pay on the part of the occupant We offer One Hundred Dollars Re- ward for any case of Catarrh that can- not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

The crkdit for originating Marquis I wheat must be given to Doctors Charles and William Saunders, of the Central. Experiment Station, Ottawa, Canada, The first experiments were conducted in 1886. Success was attained by cross- breeding the native Red Fife with Hard Red Calcutta, a variety secured from India and acclimated to northern con- ditions. After many years of careful selections to fix the type and get rid of undesirable characteristics, the variety was fully developed in 1903 and named. Marquis. The new wheat inherited the remarkable earliness of the Hard Red Calcutta and the frost resistant and yielding qualities of the Red Fife. Th new blood, moreover, seemed to in• crease the good qualities of each of the parent varieties. The original stock of seed was small. It was distributed among the Canadian Experimental Stations and a few of the best farmers to increase the seed. Meanwhile Strict supervision was main- tained to insure the purity of the strain. The first Marquis wheat grown in the United States in any quantity was raised during the season of 1911. Getting at the Truth. At twenty-three be thought fate was making a special effort to keep him down. At thirty-five he thought he might have done great things if his wife had not been such a handicap. At forty be believed he would have been a great man if his children had not made it necessary for him to cling to the sure things. At fifty he was positive that there was a conspiracy against him on the part of his fellow men. At sixty he felt that if be could have been thirty-five again nothing could have stopped him. At seventy he began to believe that he had failed because of a lack of cour- age and inability to make the most of his opportunities. At eighty he was almost sure of it. Chicago Herald. Defining a Siege. In international law a siege is thus defined by Oppenheim: "Siege is called the surrounding and investing of an enemy locality by an armed force, cut- ting off those inside from all com- munication for the purpose of starving them into surrender or for the purpose of attacking the invested locality and taking it by assault Bombardment is the throwing of shot and shell upon persons and things by artillery. Siege may be accompanied by bombardment and assault, but this Is not necessam since a siege may be carried out by mere investment and starvation caus- ed thereby." Difference In Time.

WAYS TO WATgR HOUSE PLANTS. Many people water their house plants. wrongly; they either give a little and often, when they happen to think about it, or they drown the poor things pretty nearly every day. Both ways are wrong; for when only small quantities are given the water does not penetrate the soil deeply enough to do much good, that d h n at part of the earth below the wetted section is too dry for the roots to grow in. Plants so treated often. suffer considerably and even die. Sc the method is a sure one to court fail- ure, because while it may keep the plants in existence it does not keep plants in thrifty condition. When plants are soaked every day the soil is kept in the condition of mud all the time. None but aquatic plants can stand such conditions, The water becomes stagnant, the soil sours, the roots begin to decay, and the tops be- come the prey of fungi or bugs or disease. By and by the plants die be- cause the conditions which favor decay continue. Both these extremes of watering should be avoided by observ- ing the correct method of watering. The proper way is to water the plants thoroughly only when they need water and to leave them alone between times, Such watering may be done in either of two ways; by standing the pots in water nut deeper than the rims of the pots, or by applying water to the surface until it runs out of the bottom. In the first ease the water will slowly rise in the soil until it darkens the sur- face. Then the pots may be removed arm placed where they belong. It has the distinct merit of certainty, There is no escape for any particle; every part must become wet. By the surface watering method the water may, in time, form channels and run out of the bottom without wetting more than per- haps half of the soil. This is especially the case with soils poorly supplied with sand or humus and which consequently shrink away from ,the pot and leave cracks between the pot and the ball of earth. Whichever method is followed no water should be given again until the soil looks dry or until' the pot gives a distinct ring instead of a dull thud when rapped by the knuckles. Then it should be soaked and left alone again. As long as the soil looks damp it does not need water. All this shows that properly there can be no regular time for water- ing such as every day, because some plants use water much faster than do others; some soils part with water more quickly; and the air in some rooms is so much drier that transpiration from the leaves and evaporation from the soil is that nothing but observation can be re- lief upon as to when to water. (Toronto Star) The Ontario bill providing for the levying of a provincial war tax is im- perfect in a very important respect. it declares that the money is to be raised for war purposes, but it contains no provision that it is to be spent for war purposes. Not a dollar need be spent for war purposes, so far as is provided by the statute which is to be- come the law of the land. Not only in this case, but the govern- ment has not asked the house to vote ny money for any purpose connected with the war. It simply seeks power to levy a new tax for purposes connect- ed with the war and for no other pur- poses. The British parliament and the Dominion government have asked for and obtained large appropriations for war, The items 'are not given, it is true, but the general purpose is in- dicated. The same ought to be done in Ontario. If the new tax is expected to yield two million dollars, a war appro- priation of that amount ought to be voted. It is a good suggestion also that the war office in Great Britain should be consulted; in order to see how any money voted by Ontario could be most usefully applied, Gifts made without such consultation may fail of their pur- pose. The people will grant the money cheerfully, but they want an assurance that it will be well spent. Knew the Style.

Work while yet the daylight shines, Man of strength and will, Never does the streamlet glide Useless by the mill.

Especially a good mother, one who has tried to train her daughter in the right way. I have heard people say if a girl goes wrong, it is all in the training, but that is not always the case. I don't think a girl (or most girls at least) ever realizes what she owes her mother until • she is married and has children of her own. If they would only show their love and appreciation for mother, it would lighten many a burdened heart. They are too apt to take what mother does for them as their right. They would feel terrible if anyone even suggested that mother did not love them, but many wait till there is a mound in the burial ground before they fully realize how much it meant to them. In the first place a girl owes her mother obedience, and she owes it to her mother to be cheerful and help make home as happy as pos- sible. She must not keep all her smiles and good nature for strangers and outsiders. Cheerful faces help to drive trouble and care from mother's face. She should not grumble and find fault if mother does not get her all she asks for. It is not always possible to do so and perhaps not always wise. She owes it to her mother to help keep the ties of home together as long as possible, because death severs those ties all too soon. and once broken they can never be the same again. Home is the safest place for any girl, and if she would always confide in mother, how many heartaches she would escape. She cannot have a more sincere friend or better councillor than mother. It always seems if a girl goes astray it is her mother who suffers most, and I believe many a mother has gone broken-hearted to her grave on account of a wayward daughter But no matter what happens, if she has a friend at ail it is her mother. So if she would take all her troubles to her mother how much might be averted. If mother's ways are old-fashioned and not what she would like them to to be, remember mother has sacrificed much for her daughter and has not kept up with the times as much as the s younger generations. So a girl owes her mother much more than she can Ii ever repay.

One of the Sore afflictions of the newspaper business is found in the fact that people generally think its no work to get out a paper. One of the hardest jobs every editor does, thougb generally the plea- santest, is to read the exchanges. But it is hard work and it must be done. For the editor who gets a day or two "back" in his exchanges never catches up. And the thing that makes him the maddest, though he will look up and greet the stranger with a smile who does it, is, for a man to come in saying "Well, I saw you sitting here doing nothing but reading, so I thought I'd just pass the time of day with you." Remember this, you who have busi ness with the editor: It's all right to conic in when he's reading, or writing, or editing copy, but don't get into your head that when he's reading his exchanges you have come in the idle hour. How can the editor get any ideas if he doesn't read others' ideas? Do you think he sits down and thinks 'em out of his head? Well be doesn't. He reads a score of papers every morning, and from one Or two he gets a suggest- ion or two. Sometimes be finds an item that makes him mad; then he writes well. Sometimes a vagrant item a pay local, a telegraphic head, an ad- vertisement starts a rich train of sug- gestions. But the sure way to wreck the train and make your paper stupid and innane is to come bustling in when the editor is reading exchanges. He is doing the best work of the day. DR. A. W.
