certain situations which may be presented
should Great Britain attempt to invade the
United States from the Canadian frontier.
If the two countries overcome to war Canada
will be the most probable base of operations
for the British troops, and itis proposed to
gather data showing the exact strategical
importance of certain points in the Domin-
ion which would be -selected by Great
Britain as the bases of operations.

detailed an officer to go to Canada for this
purpose, and he had just begun to gather
valuable information when' au old Admiral

A CITY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

The Ruinsof a large Town, Discovered
In

The city authorities at Rovigno, on the
peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic. Sea,

insula, the rutne of m large town et tib
bottom of the sea, :It had been observed
for years that fishermen's nate were some-
times entangled in what appearedto be
masses of masonry,' of which fragmeuta
were brought up from the sea bed. Then
a diver declared that he had :teen walls and
atresia belowthe water, and so the auth-
orities of Rovigno decided to investigate,
They tont dowu a diver, who, at the depth
of 80 feet, found himself sutrounded at the
bottom of the sea by ruined walla,
Continuing bis explorations, hetraaed
the liue of walla, and was able t0 dlatln-
gutshhow the streets were laid cell. He
did not see any doors or windows, for they
were hidden by mamma of seaweed and
incrustations. He traced the masonry for
a'diotanoe of 100 foot and there he had to
atop, for hie diving mord did not permit
him to go further. He had proved beyond
a doubt that he had found the ruins of a
once inhabited town which, through some
catastrophe, had been covered by the sea.
It is probable that these are the ruins of

name, mentioned by Pliny the elder.

Boys' and Girls' Shoes.
.One of the.moat essential duties for boys
and girls to learn is the proper care of
their shoes. Nothing about to girl or boy
will give a bad' impression more quickly
than untidy feet, aud'nothing looks more
refined or genteel than a well•fitting,
neatly blackened shoe.
The covering for the feet has, singe the
earliest dates of history, received a very
large amount of consideration. No matter
what country we take, we will And that
the mom oivilized and refined are the
people, the more care they give their feet.
Even the woman in the i'iiblo,who wished to
show her love and respect for the blaster,
mould do nothing else that would honor
him so much as to wash His feet with her
tears and wipe them with her hair; and
from that day to this, more attention has
been given to the feet than few realize.
You are, of oourse, all familiar with the
saying whiolt some bright (7) person has
made—that " a farmer oould be told by
the hayseed in his hair," and though this
may be false, it is nevertheless true that
farmers are often told from city folk by
their feet. Do not begin to think that I
am trying to speak slightingly of the feral -

and am proud of it, but I don't care to
have my a,ty cousins saythat they mould
tell I was from the country because my
feet were not as tidy as theirs. To be sure
it is much harder to keep the shoes in good,
shape amid sand, dust and mud than it is
on plank and pavement, but if one tries, f0
canoe done.
Every boy and girl ought to'blaoken
their shoes regularly, and with the help of
a pair of rubbers, keep them blaok, If a

den or has to walk far in the saad,ehe will

very much by wearing her rubbers. Boys,
of course, who work in the field,can not
keep a:"shine," but they can have a sec-
ond pair of shoes and should put them an
when not at plowing or other such work.
Neatness always pays wherever his found,
In ending this talk let me give you two
recipes for shoe blacking which are water-
proof and very durable ; the first is called
the Farmer Boys' Blacking :
Melt together .beef 'tallow, 4 000.; rosin
and beeswax, each 1 oz., when cool add 6

Orr Girls.
Our girle do not realize how much the
happiness of home depends ou tlteni, The
mother has been galled the better half of
her husband, and we: think cur girls can be
called the better half of mamma in more

Anticipate mamma'ewishes. Ease her cares,.

others so. There is something verybeauti•
ful about the affection of brother and sister.
You can be a coworker withmother in

The Bank of Scotland.
The bank of Scotland, now 200 years old,
naturally sought to encourage Scottish in.
dustries, and this is shown in the manufac-
ture of its paper for notes, The first large
notes were made ip 1696, twenty -shilling
notes, as they were termed, being only
issued on April 7, 1704. In 1729 the bank's
paper was monutaotured at Gifordhall,
neat Haddington. Attendants had to be
present in the bank's interest, and their
aaoouut was paid by the bank, One item
was "ale and bread furnished to the work
meu, 10e." ; and another for "drink money
to servants, :£4 17e. 65." The items are

rem osentod drink money in name.
in 1735 the hank got its twenty -shilling.

barber came twice from Edinburgh to shave
the officials, and toceived throe shillings
for hie professional attendance. Green tea
must have cost at tide time 24o.' per pound,
for in the hill a quarter pound sells for Go.
At this Colintou Mill the bank appears to
have kept all the employes fu food during
the time the paper, was being manufactured,
A mon was engaged twelve' days at the
paper mill in dressing meat, and he out up
in that time 200 pound's of it. Moab and

Gentlemen: I received a letter
from you May 27th, stating that you
had heard of my wonderful recov-
ery from a spell of sickness of six
years duration, through the use of
Bourn Ai1ty,1IOAN N3Rv1Ntm, and asking
for zny testimonial. I was near
thirty-five years old when I took.
down with nervous prostration. bur
family physician treated me, but with-
out benefitting :no in the least. My
nervous system seemed to be entirely
shattered, and I constantly had very
severe shaking spells. In addition
to this I would have vomiting spells.
During the years I lay sick, my folks
had an eminent physician from Day-
ton, Ohio, and two from Columbus,
Ohio, to come and examine me.
They all said I could not live. 1
got to having spells like spasms, and
would lie cold and stiff for a time
after mach. At last I lost the use of

or walk astep, and had to be lifted
like a child. Part of the time I
could read a little, and one day saw
an advertisement of your medicine
and concluded to try one bottle. By
the time I had taken one and one-
half bottles 1' could rise up and take
a step or two by being helped, and
after I had taken five bottles in all I
felt real well. The shaking went
away gradually, and I could eat and,
sleep good, and any friends oould
scarcely believe it was I. I am sure
this medicine is the beat in the world.
I belive it saved my life, I give my
name and address, so tbat if anyone
doubts my statement they can write
mo, or our postmaster or any citizen,
as all are acquainted with my ease.
I tette now forty-one years of age,
and expectto live 46 long as the
Lord has use for me and do all the
good I can in helping the suffering.
