And yet this the principal grain of the

Notching Floor Joists.
It is the custom in some localities
to notch the floor at the centres for
gas pipes or conduits for electric wir-
ing. That should tot be done, as it
weakens the joists. Pregnantly the
floor sags in the middle and causes
the plaster beneath to crack.
The saving in cost of that method
over the correct way to run the pipes
or ooncluits Is poor economy, consider-
ing the damage which might follow.
The proper way to lay Pipes• on the
floor beams la to notch the joists par-
allel to tho walls and not over twelve
inches from where they rest en their
bearings. Then extend the pipes
from those points to the required
locations in the spaces between the
joists.

"Therein a .ketzaon"
This war has ben a eontinuous sue -
cession of startling events. The -world
has been given gasp atter guest, and
the surprises Dever seem to end. It
has witnessed on the one hand the
Russian' convulsion, ending In the des-
truction of monerehle autocracy and
Che substitution of anarchic autoc-
racy; and on the other hand it has
witnessed the iron autocracy of
Halserism forged more firmly than
ever around, the necks of the German
People. it Is now witnessing the grad-
ual, but certain dissolution of the last
vestige of feudalism in Austria-Hun-
garY.
The Romanoffs have gone. the Haps-
burgs are going, but the Holienzol-
terns are mightier among their people
than ever. Verily, Frederick the
Great, were he alive to -day, could
learn much from his descendants:
* » * *
Thie of Itself, is startling; but that
; which surpasses all other situations
; in the element of surprise is the fact
that the world, wise as it Is, wiser as
• it grows, did not know that for forty-
! five years a very considerable portion
of Its affairs had been intrusted to the
keeping of e. nation absolutely dedi-
cated to ideals that had been swept
aside at Runnymede, England, during
11215 --did not know that medievalism
' flourished stronger than ever before,
but under the alluring name of "Kul-
tur." Perhaps the very votesque•
nese of the idea disarmed suspicion.
* *
While the world t t large -the world
of civilization and spiritual ideas, has
been consecrating it, -af to Use task of
freeing mankind frois the bondage of
materialism, giving increased expres-
sion to the principle of the brother-
hood of man, to which even China has
awakened, we find Germany, hypno-
tized by the Nietzches, Trietsches and
Benthardis-a willing, servile dis-
ciple of the doctrine that might makes
right, and that the golden rule was
never intended to apply as between
nations.
Hence the hatred universally di-
rected against Germuny is a hatred of
her Idols and ideals, and the more bit-
ter it is the more it reflects the free-
dom of Germany's foes.
Little wonder then, that the ques-
tion is oft repeated; "Are Kaiser -
trained Germans fit for civilization, or
citizenship in civilized nations?"
Not unless they can be made to see
the folly of their vassalage and sub-
serviency to autocracy, and the utter
idiocy of the thought of themselves as
"supermen," can any hope of their re-
formation be entertained.
♦ *
Great things were accomplished in
this war by the German "machine"
that caught other nations unprepared:
unheard of slaughter is to her credit,
or disgrace, as we may view it, bar-
barities that will rise to plagiie the
German people for generations to
come, destruction on land and sea
that is bound to affect the future at-
titude of all nations dealing with her.
This record cannot be condoned or
forgotten by the rest of the world
very soon. But Kaiser Wilhelm, in
the face of it all, like Macbeth, con-
jures vain hopes and appears to have
met the witches on the heath. He
will soon be disillueioned, and then
wb.at? Time alone can answer.

from the Aiello disaster, and the
morale at the re my was lower that it

The Russian eititation was rapidly
growing worse, and if the allied cen-
ters did not know it, Berlin did, that
Russia as a factor in the war would
soon be nonexistent,
Later in the year the Isonzo disas-
ter Came upon the 'allies without
warning, and Italy boomed to be near-

the blow falling most severely 011 the
British lines with very heavy losses,
and consequent danger to the Channel

Two months later, the French titm-

But thank heaven! the fifth year
opens with a clear sky, France, Italy
and Britain, politically and
are stronger than they were a year
ago, and more united and determined
to prosecute the war to victory. The
submarine menace has been met and
solved, the allied shipping has im-
mensely increased. The Atlantic
bridge is effectually maintained,

FISH THAT CARRY LANTERNS.
Strange Animals That Inhabit the
Depths of the Ocean,
Up to within very recent years it
was believed that the depths of the
sea were uninhabited by any living
creatures. But it is now known that
the marine abysses have a fauna of
their own, conaistiug of animal species
wholly unfamiliar to us.
Among these animals are many
kinds of fishes, most 'weird and strange
-for instance, sharks that in shape
resemble huge eels. A striking finny
type is the "black swallower," which
spends its Ulna burled in the shelly
ooze of the bottom. It is nearly all
mouth, and gets a living by waiting
for prey to walk into its cavernous
jaws,
Another species is able literally to
swallow ashes ten times as big Ile it-
self, its jaws being enormoualy dis-
tensible, eo that it climbs around the
victim, so lo speak, and envelops it.
In general, the Ilsbes of the ocean

Jellyflshee aro luminescent, and at

AT THE END OF THE EARTH
The Island of Tristan da Cunba in the
Middle of the South Atlantic ;
This little island of Tristan da Cun-
ba in the middle oa the South Atlan-:
tic Ocean is a lonely and barren little
heap of volcanic rocks. It is the
centre of almost incessant rains, the
vortex of fierce storms, enveloped by
clouds, and shunned by ships. Yet
for the last hundred years it has been
inhabited by a strange race, made up
of English, Dutch, Irish, Italians and
Americans, east ashore from time to
time by shipwreck, and living on fish
and spoils of the wrecks that strew
the coast.
These people, who number about
eighty, and who include men, women
and children, suffer almost inconceiv-
able hardships and deprivations. Their
huts are unmortared piles of rough
stones, thatched with grass. The Is-
land is so infested with rats from
wrecked ships that any grain plant-
ed is eaten in the ground, and the only
'source of flour is passing vessels,
which may be intercepted only by
rowing many miles out to sea. There
is no government of any sort, no
. school, no church. The island has 110

Ithrifty and temperate, as they are cies-
cribed to be --would gladly leave their
•rutle huts, their terrible hardships,
:their barren fields, their pitiful pov-
• arty and hoplessness to rejoin the
; world. But nol The British Govern-
ment has renewed its offer to remove
them and their few possessions from
the bleak island to any British soil
that they may choose and to give
them means to start life anew. Not
one will consent to go. There on that
bleak island are their homes,and there
they will stay.

When We Honestly Try Economy
Economy is still the weed we hear
constantly in our ears, and it is to
be hoped that suggestions under that
head are received in the proper
spirit. Economy, just a little of it
now and in the right place, a little of
it by everybody, means an immense
saving M the future. Self-denial,
taken as a matter of course, is far
easier than self-denial grudgingly
given and thought over for a long
time; also that trite epigram, "He
who gives quickly gives twice," is
very truly put. So make up your
mind to economize and do it now.
Economize in the way that the gov-
ernment has indicated as most nec-
essary, and this does not as a rule
mean save, it means substitute, even
if it costs a little more.
