CONTINUPTY OF WET WEATHER.
r
Curious Statistics Collected in Regard
to Rainfall.
Mr. E. V. Newnham, of the Royal
Meteorological Society, has studied
the rainfall of several localities in
the British 'Isles in order to find out
how often rain falls on the day fol-
lowing successive runs of one, two,
three or more wet days, or an equal
number of fine ones. The results are
unexpected. It is generally supposed
that after a long succession of wet
days the chance of a fine day becomes
greater, but statistics do not support
that conclusion. Generally speaking,
the expectation of rain on any par-
ticular day has been found to in-
crease rapidly as the number of wet
days preceding it increases, and to
diminish in accordance with the num-
ber of successive fine days immediate-
ly before it. After very long spells
of either kind of weather, the expect-
ation of further rain reaches an al-
most steady value, The same-eonclu-
sionholds for the expectation of rain
in a given hour after different periods
=of wet or dry hours. As an illustra-
tion of Mr. Newnham's discoveries,
he found that at Valencia, off the
southwestern coast of Ireland', after
seven days of drought, rain falls on
the eighth day twenty-four times out
of one hundred, but after seven rainy
days, eighty-six times.. For Kew,
near London, the corresponding hi -

WARDING OFF FROSTBITES.
How Italian Troops in the Alps Are
Protected.
One of the more Pressing problems
of the Italian army is the prevention
of frostbite among thousands of men
exposed to the Alpine winter. A Brit-
ish weekly describes the following ex-
periment:
A soldier, whose feet had been well
smeared with sterilized fat, put on a
double sock of cotton, having an in-
terlining of paper also prepared with
fat, and over this an ordinary woollen
sock. He -then stood in a pail of ice
for forty minutes, and at the end of
that time his feet are said to have
been normal in appearance, nor did he
complain of.any unusual sensations.
Another foot covering that is prov-
ing of great value in resisting cold is
a square of linen, prepared in a solu-
tion of salicylic acid and sterilized fat,
over which the soldier wears either a
woollen or a cotton sock. The pre-
pared squares are packed in small
waterproof envelopes, and are thus
easily carried in the pocket. Thou-
sands of these squares have been sent
to the front.

Careful of His Complexion.
With sobs in his voice, the appli-
cant for a meal and some old clothes
had told his story, and the kind-heart-
ed woman lead helped him.
Now, as he sat eating a hank of
bread and cheese she thought it wise
to get in a little good advice. So
she began:
"Don't you think that—er—it would
he better for yourself if you used soap
and water occasionally?"
The tramp sighed dolefully.
"I would, ma'am—I would," he an-
swered eagerly, "but the truth is that
there's so many different kinds of
soap, and it's so hard to know which
is injurious to the skin that I'm afraid
to take any risks."

Exceptional Circumstances.
The sympathetic prison visitor went
from cell to cell interviewing the in-
mates. To one penitent -looking in
diviudal she put the usual question:
"What brought you here?"
"Borrowing money, lady," was the
reply.
"But, good gracious!" she exclaimed,
"they don't put people in prison for
borrowing money."
"Not ordinarily," said the man,
"bat I had to knock a man down three
or four times before he would lend it
to me."
With few exceptions, it is illegal to
export from Great Britain any arti-
cles which might be required for the
purposes of. war.
WAR CROSSES.
They Were First Awarded in the
Year 1757.
War crosses are farolder than war
medals; the latter are, in fact, a tom.-
paratively modern innovation:
The oldest of these decorations is
the Austrian Cross of Gold, and curi-
ously enough
it bears s
a similar
r in-
scrition (but in Latin) to . our Vic-
toria Cross. The first Gold Cross was
awarded by the Empress Maria The-
resa in 1757.
The next oldest European battle
cross is the Russian Cross of St.
George, which is of gold with a fine
medallion of S.t. George slaying the
dragon. It was founded by the Em-
press Catherine II, in 1769.
The French Cross of the Legion of
Honour was instituted by Napoleon
in 1802, at the time when he was
First Consul.
Germany's famous—or infamous—
Iron Cross was instituted by Emperor
Frederick William. III. of Prussia in
the year 1813. The cross is of iron,
but is rather heavily edged or bor-
dered with silver.
ARMY WON'T TAKE HIM.
English Giant is Eight Feet Two and
' a Half Inches High.
If you Were eight feet two and a
half inches high, weighed 280 pounds,
and could throw two men around,
wouldn't you think the army wouicl•be
glad to have you?
So thought a young Wiltshire, Eng.,
innkeeper with these specifications.
But he thought wrong.
The ordinary Tommy's equipment
wouldn't fit him. He would. have to
have everything made to order. His
boots are size 223i. He can't get
into an ordinary railway car seat
and has to travel with the baggage.
So the military authorities, after
wrestling with the problem, have de-
cided to let the giant keep on tending
his inn. He is twenty-two years old
and is still growing.
AFI ETREATMENT
FORCATARRH
EASY TO MANE AND COSTS LITTLE.
Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during the
past few years that its treatment should
bo understood by all.
.Science has fully proved that Catarrh
is a constitutional disease and therefore
requires a constitutional treatment.
Cprays, inhalers, salves and nose &ouches
seldom if ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further down the
air passages and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deaf-
ness or head -noises, go to your druggist
and get one ounce of Tarmint (Double
strength). Take this home and add to
it i pint of hot water and 4 ounces of.
granulated sugar, stir until dissolved,
take one tablespoonful 4 times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
'front the distressing head -noises, clog-
ged nostrils should often, breathing be-
come easy and mucus stop dropping into
-
the� throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic ac-
tion which makes it especially effective
in cases where the blood has become
thin and weak. It is easy to make,
tastes pleasant and costs little. Every
person who wishes to he free from this
destructive disease should give this
treatment a trial.
NOT BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
Rumanians Say They Are Superior to
Other Balkan Peoples.
The present King of Rtimania is a
nephew of King Carol,. the nation's
first King. His wife is the grand-
daughter of Queen Victoria, and,
therefore, a cousin of most of the
reigning heads of Europe.
Under the new era initiated and
carried down to the present by the
Hohenzollern dynasty, says a writer
in the National Geographic Magazine,
Rumania has gone far ahead of her
neighbors of the Balkan region, and
the visitor to Bucharest early finds
that the people resent the idea of be-
ing classed with the Balkan States.
They feel that they are the superiors
of the Serbs, the Bulgiers, the Mon-
tenegrins and the modern Greeks,
and that their country is superior,
just as the people of A B C South
America feel that their nations are
not to be confounded with the remain-
der of Latin America.

HARD WORKING WOMEN
Will Find New Strength Through
the Use of Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills.
It is useless to tell a hard working
woman to take life easily and not to
woxry. Everywoman at the head of
a home; every girl in offices, shops
and factories is subjected to more or
less worry. These cannot be
a
void-
ed. Butit isthe duty of every wo-
man
and every girl to save her
strength as much as possible, and to
build up her system to meet unusual
demands. Her future health de-
pends upon. it, To guard against a
breakdown in health the blood must
be kept rich, red and pure. To keep
the blood in this condition nothing
can equal Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
They strengthen the nerves, restore
the appetite, bring the glow of health
to pallid cheeks, and renewed energy
to listless people. Women cannot
always rest when they should, but
they can keep up their strength and
keep away disease by the occasional
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs.
N. E. Tomsett, Ottawa, Ont.,
writes:—"For several years I suf-
fered terribly from nervous debility
and -was scarcely able to do a thing.
During that time I consulted several
doctors, and many medicines without
getting any help, and I began to
think that I would never get better.
One day I saw Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills advertised and thought I would
try them. After taking four boxes I
was much better, but I continued
using the pills for several months
when I was again in the best of
health. When I began taking the
pills I weighed only 100 pounds.
While under .their use with my re-
newed health I now weigh 140. Ire -
commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
every one whom 1 know to be ailing."

Titled Britons Find War Tax a Heavy'
Burden.
The Duke of Sutherland is advertis-
ing in American newspapers an offer
to sell the northern part of his Scot-
tish estates, including about 283,348
acres. While he is the largest land
owner in England, possessing almost
1,500,000 acres, he is only one of many
titled men who are eager to sell part
of their holdings because of the heavy
war tax now levied on land.
The young Duke—he was born in
1888—inherited vast holdings in Eng-
land, Scotland and Canada. Despite
the fact that he has an income of a
couple of million dollars annually, be-
cause of the war tax he undoubtedly
is being pressed to meet the levy.
The Duke announces that the es-
tate in Scotland includes "all round
sporting properties, varying from 15,-
000 to 44,000 acres, and embracing
some of the best deer stalking, grouse
and other shooting, salmon and trout
fishing in, Scotland."
Not long ago the Duke presented to
the Government 12,000 acres of land
in Scotland, which he requested to be
divided among wounded soldiers.
There was much criticism of the gift,
however, because some of the news-
papers contended that the land is
worthless and that the Duke was giv-
ing it away in order to escape taxa-
tion.

Construction Work Rapidly Approach-

One of the greatest of the achieve-
nients of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way is the Connaught Tunnel. This
great work—through the lofty Mount
MacDonald—amongst the `Selkirk
Mountains, is nearly six miles long
and double tracked. The excavation
has ben mode at a cost of over $12,
000,000 to the great transportation
company. But the C.P.R., which has
spent from $25,000,000 to $35,000,000
per annum on the development of the
West previous to the war, does not
even in tines of a conflict affecting
the greater part of the world, spare
expense where the public convenience
makes an urgent demand. The open-
ing of the tunnel will greatly facili-
tate traffic, will open anew route, and
will do away with many miles of
snow sheds.
The Connauht Tunnel will give the
Canadian Pacific the lowest grade of
any transcontinental railway running
through the Selkirk Mountains.' It
was bored in less than three years

anxiety he visited the afflicted man, who
was suffering from a sprained ankle.
"It was so bad that the leg had turn-
ed black," said Mr. Voehl in relating the
story. black,"
told hint I would have him
out in a week and he laughed at me.
But I took him a bottle of Sloan's Lini-
ment, that night he put some on and
noticed the ankle felt better. I told
him to use it every day, and in three
days his ankle was practically well. In
four days he was working. 12e gladly
admits that Sloan's Liniment 'put ham
on his feet"
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c., 5Uc, and 51,00.
