"A relative of mine that I never

night."
"Never saw before, eh?- What's
his name?"
"He hasn't got any yet, but we
intend to christen him 'William."
When a fellow is always 011 the

balanced.
"Here, nay son," said the father
to Willie. "what does this mean?
Your report gives you only fifty for
arithmetic, andryour teacher makes
the comment that you can't count
up to twenty-five. What are you go-
ing to do wi'bh such a record when
you go into. business?" "Now
don't worry, father," replied the
son. "To count up to twenty-five
isn't neoessary for success in busi-

Windmill Used by French Outpost for Observation Purposes.
One of the most arduous duties which falls to the lot of the soldiers
Is perhaps that of outpost work, the special functions of which are to
gather information concerning the enemy's movements,. In order to
obtain this information nearly every device is tried; one such method
is shown above. Under certain conditions a windmill offers a good
point of vantage for an observer, who stands on the axle, lining hie
body up against the arm of the sail. Concerning the general ditties
of outposts, the following quotidian from an officer's letter was pub-
lished recently in The Times: "I went on about 300 yards in front of
my scouts. it was a pretty jumpy job. Tho enemy's tre1ches were
about 950 yards Pram ours. I paced about 150 yards and then got
clown on my hands and knees and'orept on for some way, expecting
every moment to run into the German trenches. It was ,pretty bleak,
and I could only see a few yards in front of me. I had a loaded re-
volver ,and map with me, Every now and then I vane morose a dead
German, Well, I couldn't think why I hadn't struck the trenches, so I
went off on my left a bit. The stars had gone in and I was pretty well
lost in the middle of this big plateau."

FLEET OF GOLD AND SILVER.
King George Ms Miniatures of
Every Vessel in the Navy.
By the Admiralty's instructions
perfect models are made in paraffin
Wax of every new battleship before
it is laid down, and these models
are tested in a tank specially erect-
ed for the purpose.
The models .are from 12 feet to 24
feet long, and the tank is 400 feet
long and 20 feet wide.
The models are made of wax be-
cause it is a material which does not
absorb water or change its weight,
and so bhet alterations can be easi-
ly made,
Fleets, not of wax, but of silver
and gold, are kept by our King and
also by the Kaiser.
Ite Kaiser's collection consists of
model vessels made of solid silver,
illustrating the development of sail-
ing ships from the far -away days of
the Vikings down to our own time.
King George has a miniature
fleet in gold and silver, which shows
the progress of the British Navy
since the days of Williams the Con-
queror", every model being perfect
tb the minutest detail,
Many of these tiny vessels date

teenth century, when it was the
custom of maritime towns to pre-
sent them to royalties who honored
them with a visit,

On one farm where I worked we
had forty mays to )nflk morning .and

were not accomplishing what we
should and also always had en tap

Vat were properly through with what
we were then doing, 130 watched
our every move, routed us out at 1
o'clock in the moaning and saw to
it that; it was 8 or 9.o'clock at nigh"
before we were through. We were
supplied with candles, for retiring,
which were usually short enough to
burn out within half an hour after
going to our sleeping quarters. In-
disposition on the part of any work-
man was no excuse, pay being de-
ducted for time spent on the sick
list and never while. I was there,
was there any sympathy shown or
any attempt made to. help a man re-
cover, Such a boss loses more in
consequence through lack of inter-
est and from carelessness in the
performance of the work on the parb
of his help than is compensated by
the extra work done for alio satis-
faction, to him, of Having goaded
his men as far as lay in his power.
The men become listless and shift-
less, feeling that no matter how
hard or conscientiously they worked
the boss was never satisfied. To ob-
tain the best united effort of all
men there must be harmony or the
disgruntled ones will soon turn
away the man who is a good worker
and who tries conscientiously to do
his best.

Poultry -Raising Wisdom.
What is the sense of a woman go-
ing into poultry unless she has a
liking for that sort of thing.
Chicken -raising as a fad is the most
ridiculous business I ever saw, and
I have seen some queer things
done on a farn'1, writes an old farm-
er. In the first place, it takes a
person a couple of seasons to learn'
the chicken game and there is so
much patience and steady work re-
quired that people will not stick to
it unless they have a real passion
for the business.
It's a queer fact that the majority
of people, even farmers, lose money
on poultry, or at least fail to make
anything substantial, whereas a
man or woman who likes to handle
chickens and sticks to it in a sen-
sible way. can clean up a lot of
money. There is a very great deal
in doctoring poultry, keeping it iree
from vermin and feeding it wisely.
The faddist can't do those things
and so quits in disgust after a year
or two of failure or poor success.
Water tsed on the Farnt,
The following gives approximate
quantities of water required per
day on the 'farm:
Each member of the family for all
purposes will require 25 to 40 gal -
lone ; each cow will require twelve
gallons; each horse will require ten
gallons; each hog will require 2'/n
gallons; each sheep will require two
gallons. The water consumption
will vary from day to day and with
the seasons. For a family of six
persons a 200 -gallon supply should
be sufficient if the water is used in
the house only. On a farm where
water is supplied to a family of six
persons, ten horses, twelve cows, 28
hogs, and fifteen sheep, the doily
storage supply should be at least
500 gallons, with whatever addition-
al .amount, if any, the farmer deems
necessary for fire protection.
Sounding For Bullets.
Ina lecture at the Conservatoire
des Arts et Metiers in Paris Profes-
sor Violle said that an apparatus
called the Hughes balance is now
being used to find bullets in
wounds. The balance consists of
two bobbins so connected as to
make a balance between primaries
and secondaries. As long as that
balance is undisturbed, the tele-
phone apparatus, which is fixed be-
tween them, makes no sound, but
when one of the bobbins approaches
a metallic body the electrical equili-
brium is disturbed anti the tele-
phone sounds, Thus, to find the
exact situation of an imbedded bul-
let, all that anyone has to do is to
pass one of the bobbins in the ap-
paro,tus over the body of the wound•
ed man and to listen at the tele-
phone. The contrivance is very sim-
ple3, and very certain in its results,
. anti is of inestimable value in cases
in which an X-ray Machine is not
available,
