Strange to say it was Lord Glau- court, Lord Glaucourt who never ex- pressed an opinion hardly at home, who opposed the idea. He had a long talk with Judith about it. It was a most distasteful match, he told her, and if he had had any idea of that sort of thing he wouldn't have had him inside the house. As a matter of fact, he had had him to dinner at home, and at the club and liked him very much. "You seem to forget that he is a Jew," he told her, "putting aside everything else, merely a Frankfort Jew, the son of a jeweller, or some- thing."

Lord Eustace was there, and the Gollings, of course. No other girl, but Judith. The Duchess would not go, but she had made her mar- ried daughter, Lady Adele Spencer, go with her husband, Mr. Spencer, a little insignificant -looking man, who said all the intelligent things of the evening, and who took one so by surprise every time he did that one expected to hear Lady Adele from the other side of the table, exclaim: "There, that's why I married him," and a friend of Lieb's, his only Briton -born friend, the member of parliament who helped him with his chain. "By George, I believe he is going to take them back," whispered Lord Eustace across Judith to, the member of parliament. "I bet he isn't," said the member of parliament, who was a staunch friend of Lieb's. "Well, you see now, here the neck- lace is perfect, but there is only one necklace. I feel sure that you would all rather the jewel was not spoiled, so you must draw lots and see who is to have the whole necklace—" Nobody understood for an instant, then the four women burst out.

A friend .of urine, Mr. de F., who since the beginning of -this war was attached to the "Mission Francaise," near the British headquarters of Sir John French, and who followed the fortune of the British army, related to me an anecdote showing the calmness and self-control of Sir Douglas Haig in the face of a very great danger, writes Mr. Paul Balbaud. This was during the retreat towards Paris, when the British army was closely pressed by the German troops. Sir Douglas Haig was with his offi- cers in Landrecies. It was dinner' time, and all -the staff was at the table when the general was informed that Germans had reached the Aerie with motor cars and the headquarters was in a very critical position,,jisking be- ing surrounded any minute. Sir Douglas Haig quietly got up, gave his orders for the defence of the place, ordered the barricade of the streets, and probably knowing that the forces the Germans had brought hurriedly were not important enough to prevent his passage, sat again at the table and continued his meal as quietly as if he were a hundred miles away from a deadly danger, though the fight was going on and the bullets whistling all through the streets of the city. He was right since he pass- ed and is now in command of his army in the north. According to my friend, the bravery of Sir Douglas Haig has been .very often proved during this terrible war, wherebravery becoines so difficult in front of an enemy, who most of the time remains invisible and under the pouring rain of murderous shells. Once, not very long ago, some- where around Ypres during the first battle of the Yser, one of the roads of communication between two towns occupied by the British troops was under the enemy's shells and it was most dangerous to pass along it. Sir Douglas Haig having to go to inspecthis advance troops,' rode towards them on horseback, and'seemingly im- mune fromtho terrible danger, went on as quietly as if he had been on a morning ride at Hyde. Park. Mb firend, who was in his limousine with the French mission, confessed that he would have liked very much to pass d at full speed across the dangerous sec- tor, .but taken by the sight of such bravery, he Followed the general with- a- out increasing his speed. Men of that sort in our days are real leaders of troops, as men would go anywhere when they have confidence in their chiefs. i1 "! Ili Starting a Dairy Herd. With the average farmer the cheap- est and most satisfactory way of starting a dairy herd is to select as foundation stock good grade cows and a pure bred bull of one of the strictly dairy breeds. The grading up will be most rapid when the pre- dominant blood in the grades corre- spond with the blood 6f the sire, writes Mr. John Michels. A foundation of this kind, of course, does not produce stock that can be registered, but by continuing the use of good, pure-bred bulls of the same blood, stock is soon obtained which, so far as milk and butter production are concerned, very closely ap- proaches in value that of pure breed- ing. To start with a pure-bred herd is practically beyond the means of the majority of farmers. Furthermore, there is an objection to placing well - cared -for, pure-bred cows under av- erage conditions as to feed, care and management, because under any such change the attainment of satisfactory' results would be practically impos- sible. Where there is a gradual in- fusion of pure blood, as in the case of grading up a herd with pure-bred sires, the new blood is gradually ac- customed to the change of environ- ment, the herdsman is given the ne- cessary time to change his methods to meet the requirements of pure-bred. cattle. Where the dairyman understands the management of the pure-bred stock and has the means with which to buy the right kind, a pure-bred herd may be started to good advant- age. One of the chief dangers in start- ing with a pure-bred herd is the lack of funds to procure the right sort of animals. Instead' of buying a pure- bred bull and a number of pure-bred cows of common merit, it is better policy to buy relatively cheap grade cows, and to add the money thus sav- ed to that originally set aside for the bull. This extra meney is likely to be the means of securing a bull of outstanding merit. Whether the cows be grades or pure-breds,' it is of the highest im- portance in building up a dairy herd to secure a pure-bred bull of real merit, Unless the bull is descended from good milkers, it is folly to' ex- pect him to produce good milkers, no matter how fine or ideal he may' be as an individual. ' It is, furthermore, of importance to remember that aherd 'cannot be suc- cessfully built up unless . the bulls that are successively used belong to the same breed.' If the grading up is begun with a, Jersey bull the process must be continued uninterruptedly by the use of Jersey blood. The importance of the dairy sire is recognized in the expression: "The bull is half the herd:" Usually, hew - ever, the bull is more than half the herd, either for good or bad, In the case of common or grade cows, for example, the pure-bred bull may count for three quarters or more, of the herd by reason of his greater pre- potency. To so great an extent does the bull determine the improvement or deterioration of the herd as to call for the utmost caution in his selection. In the case of a dairy bull, espe- cially a •young bull, his chief value is determined by the performances of his ancestry. The points of greatest importance to consider in his pedi- gree are the following: (1) The merit of his mother and his sire's mother; (2) The merit of the daughters of his sire and grandsire; (3) The value of -the daughters of his dans and his grandam; (4) The value of his sisters,. if he has any; and (5) the value of his own progeny, if he has,any. The farther back consecutively good re- cords can be traced the more valuable the animal. It should always be re membered, however, that near an- cestors count for a good deal more than those more remotely related. With a first-class bull at the head of the herd, rapid improvement is ef- fected by selecting and retaining calves from only the best =Ulcers, at the same time culling out those cows whose records have not been satisfac- tory. This word cannot be done to best advantage unless, records are kept of the quantity and quality of milk from each cow for a whole lacta- tion period. Where all of the cows in the found- ation stock are grades, none of the calves, of course, can be registered. It is desirable, therefore, to add' to the herd from time to time, as means permit, some good pure-bred cows of the same blood as the bulls that. have been used. This has the advantage of enabling the owner to dispose of his calves to better advantage. The purchase of cows, however, is always attended with the danger of introducing contagious diseases into the herd. For this reason, the buying of the cows should be carried on in a limited way only. It is, of course, al- ways in order to buy cows when the object is to' add to the herd pure-bred individuals of exceptional dairy merit, But the -practice of buying cows should never be carried to the point of making it the principal means of replenishing the herd, especially since the latter can be accomplished much more satisfactorily by raising the calves from the best cows.

According to reliable reports, Ger- many is violating the rules formed by the leading nations at The Hague con- vention, and . shamefully ill-treating British prisoners of war. This is a crime against the law of nations, which emphatically states that war- ring forces treat their prisoners in a humane fashion. The object of internment is solely to prevent prisoners from further par- ticipation in the war, and unnecessary limitation of liberty, unjustifiable se- verity, ill-treatment and indignities are forbidden. The rooms in which prisoners of war are accommodated must be as healthy and clean as possi- ble, and they should not be situated in prisons or convict establishments. Captives must be given the same scale and quality of rations, quarters and clothing as the troops of the govern- ment which captures them, and pri- soners must be paid wages for tiny work. they may do. The latter must have no connection with the opera- tions of war, but may be carried out for municipal authorities or for pri- vate persons at a reasonable rate of Pay In no way'must a prisoner of war be used for the purposes of aiding the military activities of the nation. which captures him. A prisoner is not bound to reply to any questions except those which concern his name and rank, and he is not mipected.t'o betray mili- tary secrets. He cannot be punished for giving false information about his own army. AB personal belongings of prisoners of war, except arms, horses and military papers, remain their pro- perty. To safeguard prisoners of war from being ill-treated, The Hague rules de- cided some years ago that a bureau of information relative to captives must be formed 'at the commencement of hostilities in each of the warring states. Each nation engaged in the European struggle has such an insti- tution, whose purpose' is to reply to all official inquiries concerning war prisoners, in addition to keeping a careful record of what happens to every captive. Each prisoner has a history sheet, which gives his name, age, place of origin, rank, wounds an place acid data of capture.
