(1547 THE "COUNTRY BASKET." When Mrs. Durkin goes to the city for a visit she makes herself doubly sure of her welcome, for she always carries with her what she has dubbed her "country basket." It may be small, lined with a nap -1 kin, and contain only a pat of fresh butter, a bottle of cream or a jar of milk. Or it may be larger and hold some fresh vegetables or flowers from the garden, some of the surplus fruit from the orchard, a few nuts, a home- made cake, .a dressed fowl, some pop corn or some fresh eggs. On a farm where these things are plentiful they are not such luxuries, but they constitute a real treat to the city woman who must dig deep into her purse to buy them, SEWING COMFORT. a The mother who makes the clothing for herself and family is entitled to a suitable table.

Guest, How the Pompeians Advertised. The Pompeian were past masters in the art of poster advertising, writes Prank G. Carpenter from Naples, where he is gathering material for the Italian volume of his World Travels. Among the discoveries- which have been unearthed by Professor Spinaz- zola's new method of eXcavation, are advertisements painted in every color of the rainbow. There are theatrical posters, posters of politicians, who beg the people to elect them to the city council, and lettere from women advo- cating the choice of their favorites. On the wall two ladies recommend a certain C. Lollium as Chief of the Pub- lic Buildings and Roads. New paint- ings have been discovered both on the inside and outside of the houses and especially on the walls of the "Street of Abundance," where most .of the work has been done. "The method of excavation," Mr, Carpenter writes, "which Professor Spinazzola has employed for the last ten years is as different from the old way as that of the steam shovel com- pared with the fingernail. The old method was to go with pick and spade parts, on spots and hang in the sun- - shine.

Will ,Enhance the AIreeidy im- portaant Position of St. John as en Atlantic Port. S. recent event of outstanding Ina• portanee was the opening of the new dry dock at 8t, John, New Brunswick, Da signal evens both to the city .and Dominion; shins to Canada and to the Atlantic port the distinction of pos. sensing'the 'largest dry dock in the world. It is an event of particular leg- niflcande, presaging great business on Canada's Atlantic coast and adding still another testimony to the many evidences of faith in Canada's future expansion and development of mor- cantlle trade and general Atlantic coast:activlty, The general dbnenslona of the new dry dock are: -Overall length; 1,x50 feet; clear width at the entrance, 125 feet; with 42 feet of water over the entrance 6111 at extreme high tide. A comparison of these dimensions with those of other modern dry docks dis- closes the fact that the St. John dry dock Is actually the largest in the world. Bearing In mind that the largest vessel afloat to-day,is only 956 feet long, and that naval authorities. are generally to agreement inconced- ing that vessel dimensions 'nave now reached their economic maximum, it would appear that unnecessary length is provided in the St. John dock, How- ever, as this dock is being provided with an intermediate sill which will permit the whole dock to be divided into two entirely separate chambers, the inner 500 feet is length and the outer_ 060' feet in length, It will be ap- preciated that this length is justified in that it provides for the accommoda- tion at one and the same time of et least two moderately sized vessels, and still can be utilized when the oc- casion arises as a single docking chamber with sufficient capacity to ac- commodate the largest vessel afloat to -day, Fully Equipped. An all-important adjunct to the mod- ern dry dock is a complete and readily accessible repair plant, and ,consists of, in addition to the powerhouse, a machine shop, a boiler, blacksmith and febrlcating shop, as well as a car- penter shop and stores building, with second -storey accommodation for a mould loft. An underground tunnel connects all buildings with the power- house, so that electrical energy, steam for heating and power, compressed air and water will be supplied to each, and all with nothing in the nature of wires or pipes above ground to inter- fere with the movement of materials between the buildinge and the docks. These buildings are equipped tbrough- outwith all necessary machines of nut ficfent size to handle any class of re- pair work that may originate from any Teasels which the dry dock itself, can accommodate. It was, in 1911 that the New Bruns- wick Government, realizing the de- ficiencies of St. John to this respect, and mindful of the noels of fully da veloping the Atlantic port, succeeded in interesting British capital in under- taking the construction of a first-class dry dock and repair yard at St, John. Construction Begun In 1912. Actual construction, operations were commenced in 1912, and in 1914, at the outbreak of the war, extensive opera- tions were under way on the excava- tion and ,preparation of the dry dock site. Like many other projects, this soot. felt the pinch of war tines, with the resultant shortage and high price of both labor and materials, and after struggling along through the first two years of the war, furtheroperatlous became Impossible. Not until the end of the -war could further interest be aroused in tbis undertaking, which lay dormant until the Fall of 1918, when Canadian capital undertook to resume the work and carried it through to con. elusion. The new dry dock presages a yet enhanced importance for the Port of St. John. Already it has an important place in Canada's economic 11fe as the principal outlet, on the Atlantic coast and the busiest port of winter ship- ment, Its exports amount to nearly $100,000,000 per year and its imports to $50,000,000. As the terminus of two Canadian railways with. branches radiating from It, It can well and ex- peditiously serve the Dominion. Its touch with the United States is ado- quato through line services malutain- ed with the Republic's coast ports. It has connection with practically every country of the globe through services maintained with the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda and 10007 other localities, Forehanded.
