makes this appeal: "At this time of

It is said that Britain's new war
loan will finance her share 01 the fight
for more than three years. Russia has
placed orders for a large number of
cars and locomotives in the United
States, which will take a year at least
Mr delivery. These facts do not give
much encouragement for an early ter-
m.natien of the war.

from the 'United States department
of record;; and research of the Tuska-
i:ee institute it is learned that in the '
first six months of this year thirty-
four lynchings occurred in the ibnited
States, being thirteen mere than its
the sane period of 1914. (if the tie -
Gins twenty-four were negroes and ten
were whites, being four mere negroes
and nine more whitcs than last year.
This lawlessness was more preoalei,t
in (eargia than elsewhere. Several of.
the persons lynch'�.t, it is said, had
Lnl' committed petty thefts of cotton,
hogs or meat, and one was charged
Stith, but not convicted, of stealing a
ew.
The following is the copy of resolu-
tion submitted i.o and passed by the
National ('o::nc:J1 of rbe Canadian Cre-
dit Alen's Association at Wlanipeg., on
the 22nd of June. "That we, the N�'a-

trade and commerce of the country,
from the standpoint of the manufac-
turer, the wholesaler and the retail( -r,
that tate different branches of trade

GIFT OF
A SOUL
The silence of death sueileecded these
strange words. All the guests felt an
icy chill creep over them. One would
lave thought that the ghost of the
laan whom theyhadd once known and
loved was about to appear before
then.' The men looked at each ether,
vexed by this sudden outburst, wlticlt
east a gloom over the feast whie h had
begun so joyously. The women began
to laugh, without comprehending what
was taking plac=r. Clemence, however,
furious, bit her livid lips, and striking
the table sharply with her knife, her
glass fell with a crash to the floor.
"A broken glass!" cried Laura
(i'Evreux. "That is an unlucky omen."
"All this is truly absurd, Jacques,"
cried Clernence in a void that trem-
bled with anger. "Our friends have
not come here to listen to such non-
eense."
"He has drunk too much, our good
Jacques," cried Sophie Viroflay, "It is
only half -past twelve, which is a little
too early."'
"No, I am not intoxicated," said the
young man, whose face assumed a
terrible expression. "I said that
Laurier was mad. Does any one here
doubt it? Among you all, who saw
him during the last few months of
itis life, and who witnessed the an-
guish lie endured, is there one who
denies the truth of what I say? Ali!
you are silent. Clemence herself dons
not speak. It is because she knows
well that Laurier was mad, and why
he was mad."
The countenance of the actress at
this speech became yellow with rage,
as if gall had replaced the blood in her
veins. Her beautiful bosom swelled
with rage, and in a hissing voice she
cried:
"You make us regret him. It is a
pity ho is not in your place, and you
in his!"
"Patience. I shall soon be there,"
said Jacques with a -terrible sable,
"for I, in my turn. am leading the
same life of torture which drove him
to suicide. I can judge of his suffer-
ings by what I myself endure, and I
can understand how he resolved to
bear them no longer. \Ve were speak-
ing just now of Dr. Davidoff, and we
recalled the fantastic stories he re-
lated to us on 0 certain night. Patrizzi,
do you remember how Laurier, after
listening in stleuce to Davodiff, cried
suddenly: 'Jacques, if I should ever
grow tired of life 1 will bequeath my
soul to you?' I see you have not for-
gotten. Well, before that very night
was oven he was dead, and I, who had
barely a breath of life, recovered my
health. A few days later, Prince, meet-
ing me at a masked ball at Nice, you
said to me jestingly: 'It seems that
You have now an entirely new. soul,
that of . your friend Laurier.' You
little knew how true was what you
said. This soul was in me. I felt it,
strong and ardent, with all its pas-
sions that had been the ruin of the
unfortunate Pierre—an inordinate love
of pleasure, a desire to be madly loved,
an unconquerable passion for play --
that consumed me 4n their fires. A
woman crossed my path; she attracted
me irresistibly, fatally. It was ;mpos-
sibie for it to be otherwise, for I had
within mo the soul of Pierre, filled
by the ardent love he had cherished
for this woman. Olt, I had a gleam of
reason; I foresaw for an instant nay
fate, and I tried to resist her power,
but the spell of the enchantress' was
•upon-•nie-and my efforts were vain.
All my being impelled ane toward her.
I obeyed her as a dog obeys Itis mas-
ter—she had only to raise her finger
and 1 returned to her after swearing
I would never see her again. Thus I
have followed step by step the same
path that led Pierre Laurier to his
ruin. Like him I gambled, because 1
had need of money—a great deal of
money. Like him I forgot everything
but the woman I at once hated and
adored. •tio had sacrificed to :ler his
genius and his fame. I betrayed for
her those dearest to me. I plundered
my mother and neglected my sister.
He was base and I have been baser.
And now do you think 1 am In my
right mind and that I can ,eason
clearly?"'
He rose to his feet; his 11ps
foamed slightly, his hands trem-
bled, and he gave a forced laugh.
Ile raised his glass filled with ceam-
pagno and said:
"I drink to ail of you, friend; am.0
rivals in the affections of the woman
love. And I drink to the memory of
he absent one—Pierre Laurier."
He raised his glass to his lips, but
to .did nut drink. His glance, diroc•: sI
toware the terrace, had hecomo fixed
as it in terror. Ei uttered a hoarse
cry and took a step backward. He lane
caught sight of the man whose name
110 had just uttered --Pierre Laurier,
ututuil7ng the '•tees with Davidoff.
hi.le he was hdvnncing toward them
Jacques devoured hien with his eyes,
breathless, etupcfied, a cold sweat up-
on his forehead.
When the two then paused at the
hreshoJcd of the rnona, he made a will
esture its if t!, shut theist out from
as terrified vision, then put his hand
o his throat as if suffocating, and
cried in a hollow voice:
"Pierre, what do you come to seek
here? You kucw well that we can-
not both exist upon the earth togeth-
er! If yon live I mist die!"
"Jacques!" cried Laurier. advancing
toward hint with outstretched hands.
Do Vignes tried to push him back,
but f.udder.ly turned pale, anal u'tering
a hoarse cry sante into .the arms of his
frielud. -
•"Ile is dead," said Berneville in a
trembling voice "Let stein one call

"Do not stir," said Davidoff; "he is
not dead, sand we tined no help."
Heti poured some Water into a glass,
and with it moistened the temples of
the unfortunate nears, who gave a deep
sigh.
Of ati these who nad gathered
around Bina hastily, Clemence was the
first to recover her self-possession,

Pierre and Juliette had been married
for three months. The young wife had
recovered the bloom of health. Laur-
ier, overwhelmed with orders, worked
all day, and he and Juliette spent the
evenings with Mme. de Vignes and
Jacques. Slowly but surely Jacques
was sinking to the tomb. Cured of his
dangerous madness he had become
amiable and gentle. It seemed as if
he was resolved upon making those
around hint forget the anguish he
had caused them to suffer, and not
once, since he had been brought to
his mother's house, had he been heard
to utter a complaint. It seemed as if
he accepted suffering and death as an
expiation for Itis faults.,
Emaciated and hollow-eyed, his
hair almost white, there remained not
a trace of the beauty that had turned
so many heads. He looked like an old
man. He now scarcely ever rose from
his easy -chair. A plaid thrown over
his knees, his thin hands stretched
out before him, he would sit for hgurs
by tate window, sunk in a revery, or
gazing idly at the passers-by as they
hastened along the street. He refused
even to drive with his mother to the
Bois to take the air. He would a';s-
wer with a smile:
"I must have a little vanity, and
not shot' myself looking so weak and
miserable to those who remember me
young and vigorous. Go you, my dear
mother, apd when you come, back you
will tell me about what you have seen;
thus I shall enjoy the pleasure of the
drive without its fatigue."
Only when lis sister came would
his melancholy countenance light up
with pleasure. He could not bear Jul-
iette out of his sight, and would ex-
cuse himself for so selfishly depriving
her husband of her society, by say-
ing:
"Let him bear with me. I have only
a little while more left in which to en-
joy it, and he has a life -time,"
One day he said to her:
"Do you remember, Juliette, the ter-
race at Beaulieu, and the conversation
we had there together?"
The young girl shuddered with hor-
ror at this recollection. She wished
to interrupt her brother, to prevent
him from recalling those sad days.
But he insisted with an obstinacy un-
usual with him.
"The remorse I endure is so bitter,"
he said, "that at all costs I want to
be delivered from it. At night, during
my sleepless hours, it tortures me. It
envenoms every moment of my life.
I have been very guilty toward you
who are so sweet and innocent. Ah, so
long as you do not forgive me I can-
not be at rest!"
"But what have you done, my poor
brother, that you should thus accuse
yourself?" said Juliette. "Our sorrow
was the same and we mingled our
tears together.'
"No, our sorrow was not the same,"
said Jacques in a low voice, "for my
sorrow was assumed. I believed that I
lived with the life of Pierre, and I
did not regret his death. Oh, what
tell you is terrible, but the truth must
be said. I had the certainty that you
would die of your grief, yet .I felt re-
gret at the conviction only because
your death would seem like a reproach
to my joy. Yes, I was such a monster
that I accepted the thought that Pierre
was dead and that you also were go-
ing to die. But what were all those
deaths to me compared to the certain-
ty of my living? I dared to allow this
thought to enter my mind. Man is in-
deed a cowardly and miserable brute."
H13 cheeks were burning. He re-
sumed in a gasping voice:
"Between your life and mine, I was
satisfied that yours should be the sac-
rifice_ And instead of mourning my
lost `-c td I was rejoiced to live in
his stead. I was, as you see, my dear
sister, for a time mad. In order 'to
cure me Davidoff tried a dangerous
experiment, Ile Wished to presto the
power of the moral nature over the
physical, of the spirit over the body.
He desired to learn if faith could pro -
deco material results. The experiment,
moat unfortunately, was tried ror
a very weak nature, an im-
pressienable imagination, It pro-
dulled only
powerful a result, Like
the miracle workers of old who played
upon the credulity of the ignorant, he
said to me: 'You are cured; you
have reeeived within you another life;
lints then.' And I was so eager to
believe what be told me that I ended
by believing it. ISut at the price of
what trental hallucinations, what de-
terioration .of character! I had bean
amiable and gcod; I became cruel and
selfish. And in order to forget, in
order to silence the protestations of
my conscience ,1 throw myself into a
life of pleasure, I gave myself up to
vice. The transformation that had
taken place made me so different from
what I bad been that I seemed to live
with a double life. There was in me
the physical being whose acts were
inspired by a species of madness, and
an intellectual being who protested
with groans against all these excesses.
For nearly a year I have lived like
a criminal, ,hating my crime and con-
demning myself for it.. Stich is the
life I have been leading. And it was
to prolong this hell that I was willing
that Laurier e au !
rahould die and thought
g
1t
it right that you should
follow him,
But ,a just God interposed. Pierre
and you are alive, and it is I who am
about to die."
"Jecques!" interrupted the young
wife, bending over her brother's hand
and letting her tears fall upon it.
The dying man recovered his breath
with difficulty and said with solemn-
ity:
"Tell me that you forgive me, and
that when I am no longer among you,
you will sometimes think of me with
pity and affection."
"Ah, yes! I forgive you," returned
Juliette, "since you insist on my say-
ing those unnecessary words, and
there is no merit in my doing so, for
I love you."
Jacques smiled gently.
"Decidedly," he said, "women aro
better than we are."
"But Jacques, you will live," cried
Juliette,
"To what purpose?"
Then his expression changed, and
with a pathetic attempt at gayety, he
said:
"Besides, that would not be pos-
sible; for now it is you who possess
the soul of Pierre."
Six weeks later, as the autumn was
drawing to its close. and the last
leaves were falling from the trees,
they all set out for the south. They
saw again with mingled pleasure and
sadness the Vijla of Beauville, the
pine wood, thuyas and the fir -trees,
and the little bay encircled by its
red rocks, where the waves died mur-
muringly away on the beach. Jacques
seemed for a time to revive under the
influence of the southern sun; then
ho grew weaker and more sombre
than before, and one evening, sur-
rounded by those who loved him, he
gently exhaled his latest breath.
He sleeps upon a hillside sheltered
by orange -trees, lulled by the frag-
rant breezes, and on his tomb niay be
read these words:
JACQUE•S DE VIGNES.
God has taken to Himself his poor
suffering soul.

KING'S WINE CELLAR.
Magnificently Stocked, Though
Royal Family is Temperate.
The cable reports that King George
has climbed on the "water wagon." as
an example to his subjects during the
war. As a matter of fact, very little
spirits have been drunk at Georges
palace, and the punch, that ferreous
tipple et' a I1tutdrea years ago, when
deep drinking was the rule, 1s p411011-
011113 unknown. Nevertheless, tree
King has a big wine cellar, the head
cf which bears the title of the "Gen.
Denten of the Cellars,"
It is his duty to attend or to be
represented at all the principal sales
and to acquire suitable "lots" and
quantities. The foot that the King is
..
really t.st(, buyer y t is, of course, kept
eecret to prevent prices from being run
up. Tho Kin:; has his own wine sent
to private 110/1833 when he accepts in-
vitation -I to dilater, except in places
where he is aa c•ld or frequent visitor,
and knows what his special tastes are
understood and will be catered to.
The bulk of the King's wines and
.spirits is stored in huge cellars be-
neath SL James' Palace. A certain
supply, however, is kept at Windsor
Castle and Bucbinghom Palace, and in
each cess the stock is of comparative-
ly small dimensions, and ort the occa-
sion of State banquets or the enter-
tainment of royal guests the necessary
supplies are drawn - from the St.
James stores. At one time the Stock
of wine, accumulnttkl during various
rcigas, was of enorxlous dimensions..
No proper record was available, and
one of the first acts of the King in
coming to the throne was to order a
thorough overhauling of the miles of
barrel; and caslce and bottles. The re•
suit was that many thousands of dusty
and cobwebbed bottles were brought to
light. These contained wines of extra-
ordinary age, but of a class seleasen
drunk in theee thnes---Canary, Madei-
ra, heavy ports and brown sherries,
and many strange liquors of unknown
origin ,the gifts of foreign rulers. The
chief wine stacked in reeont years for
the Ting a use hal been champagne,
which is practically the only wine
used at State banquets; although
wines figure on the royal menu they
are rarely served. The King himself
has always been a light drinker, sel-
dom iltdulgtng in more than two
gasses during :t climber.

until I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills—
they did me a world of good." At all

Paid the Fine.
A policeman in a country village
where]"cases" were rare one day came
across the landlord in an incapakle
state. The chance was too good to be
missed, so the landlord was summoned
and fined to the amount of 14s 6d.
The fine was paid, but the police-
man's feelings can bo better imagined
than described when, on reaching
home, he found his rent had been
raised sixpence per week, and so it
continued for twenty-nine weeks,
when the landlord coolly informed
hint that he had paid the fine and
could 'have Isis house at the former
rent.—London Answers.

About Children's Teeth. .
If a child's second set of teeth re-
main abnormally short and doll -like it
is wise to consult'a dootor, as it may
be because he is not developing prop-
erly owing to a lack of bone forming
constituents in his food. One should
change the diet in such a case and
give something containing plenty of
lime such as haricots, lentils and
milk; also they should have plenty of
hard, well -baked bread crusts.
Little heaps of crusts are often left
on a child's plate. A child should
never be allowed to leave them, for
too much soft food is often the cause
of the early decay of second teeth, as
well as of their undeveloped and ir-
regular formation.
Man's teeth were given to him for
grinding aid chewing, and if they are
never used for hard food they soon de-
cay.
Ridged or ribbed teeth are a sure
sign of a system overcharged with uric
acid Rheumatism is latent; these
ridges are warning signals.
Do you know what these are? They
are teeth that appear as though they
had a "picot" edging or little sawlike
edge on them, and they nearly always
mean that the owner is, below par.
The serrated edge is really the com-
mencement of a decay that will in
time cause serious damage to the
child's health,

MEN FOR
THE FRONT
There are many men in Canada who
are anxious to go and play their part
in the great war, who are willing to
go as officers, but from want of ade-
quate military training, or for other
reasons, are unable to obtain eommia-
sions. There are other men who
would prefer to join the ranks simply
because they realize the enormous re-
apollsibility of the wastage of life
whioki results from the bad leadership
of an improperly -trained officer.
Some
of these e men hesitate tate to g o in
s
the ranks, merely because they are
uncertain of finding the congenial
companionship of men of similar
training and tastes
Now, there is an organization in
Canada exactly suited to the require-
ments of such men, and its existence
should be brought clearly to the notice
of every young men in Canada.
The Universities of Canada are
working loyally together to raise com-
pany after company, and to send them
overseas to reinforce as units that
famous regiment, the Princess Patri-
cia's Canadian Light Infantry.
These companies are composed of
men from the .Universities of Canada,
the friends of such men, and broadly
speaking, from men of that type.
It must be clearly understood that
they are not all university men, for
there are bank clerks, jawyers, archi-
tects, engineers, ranchers and others,
and it has been found :•+" such men
pull well together and enjoy military
life to the full. If the existence of
such a force was known throughout
the length and breadth of Canada,
there would be no difficulty in re-
cruiting a full company within a
week.
The First University Company, un-
der the command of an excellent lead-
er, Captain Gregor Barclay, has been
for some time in England. An emin-
ent military authority has dcclare•l
this to be the finest company which
has ever sailed from Canada.
The Second University Company war
composed of men of splendid type, and
was embarked recently at Montr@al.
The Third Universities Company
(and note that the plural is deliber-
ate) is recruiting with fair rapidity,
and there is every hope that it will
reach the high mark of success attain-
ed by the first two companies.
There is certainly no difficulty in
obtaining officers, but it is harder to
find picked men for sergeant -major,
company quartermaster -sergeant, pla-
toon. sergeants and section leaders, on
Whom largely rests the success of the
company. Indeed, Canada needs chief-
ly a training school for non-commis-
sioned officers
The general .principle is followed of
giving commissions to well-qualified
men from the university or front the
district which furnishes recruits.
The west has certainly been a great
recruiting ground for the universities
companies, and the men who have
proved themselves good soldiers, well
disciplined and efficient, with fine
physique. It is hoped that the Mari-
time Provinces will rival the west in
furnishing recruits. Indeed, in the sec-
ond company men, doubtless Cana-
dians, come to join from Oklaheaha,
Arizona and Missouri.
A recruit can be examined medical-
ly and attested in his own district, and
transportation will be provided to
Montreal.
All information can be obtained
from Captain A. S. Eve, 382 Sherbrooke
street west, Montreal, the headquar-
tere of the successive companies.
The newspapers and publicity
agents, by their voluntary aid, freely
given, have shown themselves to be
the most efficient means of furr, ski-
ing recruits, but we ask every reader
to help the men to join the company
they are looking for, and the company
to find the men required.

Height of Waves.
Among the most trustworthy scien-
tific measurements of ocean waves are
those of Lieutenant Paris, of the
French navy. The highest waves
measured by him were in the Indian
Ocean between the Cape of Good Hope
and the Island of St. Paul. Thirty
waves measured during a northwest
gale there averaged twenty-nine and
one-half feet in height, and six of them,
following one another with beautiful
regularity, were thirty-seven and one-
half feet in height. Some still higher
waves 'were seen, but not measured,
In a moderate breeze the length of a
wave was found to be about twenty-
five times its height, but in a gale only
eighteen times.—London Globe,

Why Teeth Chatter.
Although .the muscles which afeect
the action of the jaws are especially
`under the control of the brain, the
!chattering of the teeth is really a
(spasm caused by chill or fear, and all
{spasms act independent of the will.
The muscles which operate the jaw
act in a series of involuntary little con-
tractions which pull the jaw up and
•permit it to fall of its own weight.
This action is quick, and the chattering
'occurs from frequent repetition. The
'cold has a similar effect upon the jaw
muscles to that which some poisons
have in causing spasmodic action in
?other parts of the body.

A large percentage of advertisements
for help appearing in the newspapers
contain the words '+state salary ext•e•t-

to every a pplfeant to place a low value
