There is fresh water in tanks under the vehicles, whence electric pumps lift it to supply tanks over the sink and the bath. A petrol geyser furnishes hot water for bathing. A small van, which acts as a tender for the caravan, -brings up supplies and water. • That the caravan is sumptuously furnished, may be gathered from the fact -that it costfive hundred thous- and franca before the franc had fallen to .its present level.

In spite of the length—not much short of fifty feet over the two vehicles—the caravan can be handled on any ordinary road or among traffic. Time will finally arbitrate all our perplexities.

The Navy is represented at the Bri- tish Empire Exhibition. A special water stage, seventy feet wide, has been erected, and on this indoor ocean ships take part in representations of famous battles. Two of the most important British victories—the Armada and Trafalgar --are depleted with remarkable detail. It is impossible to portray the battle of Jutland in the same way owing to the 'immense area of sea over which 11 -was fought, It has been decided, however, to illustrate the Navy's part in modern warfare by typical episodes of a naval action of to -day, and the storming of Zeebrugge is presented in full detail. , Spectators survey the whole history of the evolution of the ship of war and of the merchant ship, shown in a pro- cession of vessels each of which is modelled upon its famous original, from . the Mora, A.D. 1066, to H.M.S. Hood,•A.D. 1920; and from the high - pooped, square-rigged merchantmen of the Normans to the steam -driven steel cargo boats of to -day. --0-- The New House.

Tip until recent decades its exhalations were supposed to be so deadly that birds flying over it fre- quentlydropped dead. Experiments in English hothouses -failed to prove this story, and investigators explain that in Java the tree usually grows in low valleys where the escape of car- bonic-acid gas fromcrevices iu the i abundant and that thisa ground. s gas was tete real cause of the birds' death. The upas really does contain a viru- lent .poison, but tho old story of its deadly exhalations has been proved false. Correct. "When is 1 nghand quicker than shorthand?"

If growing girls are to become well- developed, healthy women, their health must be carefully guarded. Mothers should not ignore their un- settled moods or the various troubles that tell of approaching womanhood. It is an important time of life. Where pallor, headache, backache or other signs of anaemia are evident you must Provide the sufferer with the surest means of making new blood. Remember, pale bloodless girls need plenty of nourishment, plenty of sleep, and regular open-air exercise. But to Save the bloodless sufferer she must have new blood—and nothing meets the case so well as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills increase the supply of new, red blood; they stimulate the appetite and relieve the weary back and limbs; thus they restore health and charm, and bring to anaemia girls the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of strong, happy girlhood, You can get these pills through any dealerin medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from.

We are frequently asked about the, scent given out by the deer. It is 10-� Gated in the foot. If the hoof is sepal,' ated a little pocket is found containing! a pasty substance, the odor of which resembles that of rank cheese. This; substance works out on the hoof and; leaves its scent on the ground. If a' deer is hard pressed by hounds be will take to water, and running in it for' some distance, the odor will be so I thoroughly washed out of the hoof that no scent will be left on the ground, and consequently the dogs wilt be unable to follow.

EASY TRICKS One Hundred Two packs of playing cards are usually used for this trick but matches, toothpicks, buttons, coins, etc., can be used. You will take fifty of the cards and your friend will take fifty. Then you declare you will show him an obviously fair game at whicb he cannot win. You claim the privilege of deal- ing first and deal one card. He is to place on that card not more than ten cards. You are to deal alter- nately, the player dealing the 100th card winning. The secret is simple and after you understand it thoroughly you will pot have to claim the privilege of dealing first. Always deal on the other fellow's cards, enough to bring the total to one more than the next multiple of eleven. As he cannot add more than ten at a time, he will reach a point where he cannot prevent you from deal- ing the 60th card. The best he can do is to den] ten and you will need only to deal one card to make 100. if the other player under- stands the trick you will be unable to win unless you deal first and deal one card only. /Cite this nut and paste it. with oilier .c4 -the series_ in a u roaboolJ 0 A Traveller's Tale. "Yes," said the traveller, "I had some exciting experiences in Russia. Perhaps the worst affair happened one night when I was ten miles from my home. I discovered that my sleigh was being followed by a pack of wolves. I fired blindly into the pack, killing one of the wolves. To my re- lief, the others stopped to devour him, and in this way I was able to gain on them. "But soon they were on my scent, I fired again, with the same result. I kept on firing until finally there was only one wolf following my sleigh, with hungry eyes fixed on me in an- ticipation of the supper he was going to make of me." The friend, who had listened thus far to the thrilling story, interjected a laugh, and said, "Why, man, according to my reckoning, that last wolf must have had all the other wolves inside of him."
