She had always lived fn the city, and to her the farm seemed wonderful: One morning her Aunt Alice gave her twoig cookies,- and told her to thlay outdoors until dinner time, As e little girl walked down through the orchard she heard a clear voice call, "Phoebe! Phoebe!" She stood quite still and listened, "I guess some little girl wants to play with me," she thought. So she ans- wered, "Where are you?" "Phoebe! Phoebel" calledthe sweet voice. "I guess she's playing hide and seek with me. I must try to find her," ' Fora while the little girl looked about happily; but when she, found no one, she grew tired, ' and called, "Come here I will give you a cooky;" No little girl came, but the sweet voice still called, "Phoebel Phoebe!" Aunt Alice was writing a letter When Phoebe hurried into her room, and said, "0 Aunt Alice, there's a little girl out in the orchard calling, mel I can't find her. She just ti �.e calls and calls, but she - won't come to me. I told her I would give her a cooky if she'd stop hiding and come and play with me. Please come out and help me find her." "There is no little girl who lives. near enough to come here all. alone, What made you think there was a little girl if you could not see her?" "Because she called me. She says 'Pheobel Phobel'" Aunt Mice laughed, and said, "I think that 1 know your little friend; I will help you find her. You will have to be quite still and look care- fully, for it is not a girl, but a bird. She calls Inc 'Phoebe' so much of the time that I think she has a nest near, for I hear her everyday." "A bifid! Why, Aunt AIice, I didn't know birds could talk! She calls my name just as plain as could be! It did not sound like a bird, at all." When they reachd the orchard no little bird- could they see. They walked' cautiously about and peeped under the leaves and shrubs. "We shall have to wait until anoth- er day," Aunt Alice said. They started back towards the house. As they came near the barn a bird flew out from the shed, perched in a tree near by, and sang,"Phoebe! Phoebe! Phoebel" The little girl laughed. "0 Aunt Alice, we did find her, after all! What do you suppose she wanted in the shed ?" "We will look and se if she has a nest there, but she may have been after flies. Phoebe would rath- er have flies than cookies. There he the nest and she is back in it," Aunt Alice said, and pointed to a rafter. They saw the head of the mother bird loking down over the edge of the nest. She did not appear to be frightened. "Why, how did -you find it?" asked the little girl. • "I thought it might be there. The phoebe bird often builds her nest year after year in the same place. See, on the next rafter are two old nests." When Phoebe went back to the city her father said, "Well, little girl, what was the best thing on the farm?" Phoebe laughed, and said, "I liked best the little bird that knew my name.' =Youth's Companion. ENEMY GETS FOODSTUFFS. Go From France to Switzerland, Then to Germany. Enormous quantities of foodstuffs are pouring into Germany through Switzerland, according to M. Jacques Dhur, a French expert in internation- al law. It seems that a convention ratified between France and Switzerland on July 26th, 1514, provides that in case of war, France shall supply the Fed- eral Government of Switzerland with 800,000 tons of cereals a year. Ac- cording to M. Dhur, 100 trucks each loaded with between twelve and fif- teen tons of cereals, cross the Cornavin station at Geneva, while in ordinary times the monthly exports did not exceed 4,000 or 5,000 tons. At the same time onormous quantities of potatoes, beans, oil, and other veg- etable products are passing into Switzerland via Pontarlier. To prevent commerce in contra- band, all merchandise is forwarded to a particular department or pro- vince of the Swiss Confederation. M. Dhurin his investigations of this distribution, found that a consider- able proportion of the supplies went to Angst, close to the frontier point where the German and Swiss Railway systems aro linked up. After a discussion of various al- leged methods of smuggling supplies through to Germany, M. Hhur adds that Germany has also been able to revietual herself plentifully -.through Italy. Merchandise was Sent from an Italian (,ort to . Switzerland, and on its way at Chiasao, between the Swiss and. the Italian Customs, the word ",Transit' was added to its label, In this way hundreds of traine of rice and other products have reached Ger- Many.

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food and right living, rather than heavy drugs, and " this is the true method, for only from food can the body be rebuilt. Many people, after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, and when their ailments be- come chronic, expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly re- build them. This is not possible. The only true method is to run as quickly as can be, from poor food to good. A young lady says:. "I was variously treated for my nerves, stomach, lungs, etc., but none of the treatments gave me relief. "About a year ago when my appe- tite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to faint- ing, I' took all manner of tonic and stimulants, but they were of ..no ef- fect. I had been brought to quit drinking coffee and taking Postum in its place and gradually began to get a little better. ' "Someone suggested that if Ifound Postum so beneficial I bad better use Grape -Nuts food, as they wore both the children of one brain. I com- menced on Grape -Nuts food for breakfast, having Post= with it. I found the food so dainty, delicious, and appetizing that 1 always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. "Shortly after commencing this diet, the wretched pain in my side Was greatly relieved, and now, a year later, it has gone entirely, alae the sinking spells; in feet, Spy stale cheeks have changed to pink, I.have gained back more than the twenty pounds 1 lost, and am: thoroughly well in every way" Naine given by Canadian' Postnin Co., Windsor, Ont.

MAILING THE MOST OF THE EGGS LAID AT THIS SEASON. By A, P, Marshall, As the price of 'eggs` drops during the warm summer weather, and it becomes a question whether much profit may be derived from their sale inthe regular way, the wise poultry grower will consider how he may keep up the price for what he eeils, or pre- serve his stock as it accumulates, in such a way that he will 'obtain a Muth larger price and considerably more than pay him for the trouble -to which he has to bring about this re- sult. ' In the first place any eggs required for sale as food produets, and not for breeding purposes, should be infer- tile. Fertile • eggs become unfit for human food almost as quickly as milk when subjected to the same tempera- ture, and when wp consider how carefully our health 'departments safeguard the sale of this product, it is some wonder that some method, is not devised to absolutely prevent the marketing during the hot months of eggs less likely to spoil than is now in practice. It is a mistaken idea that eggs have to be put into an in- cubator or under a hen to start to hatch. The fact is that the germs begin to grow just as soon as it is subjected to --a temperature of 90 or above. Whether this be behind the kitchen stove, or on a hot country road en route to market, on a plat- form at the depot awaiting shipment, in the country store waiting for the usual twenty or thirty cases before sending out, in the pantry waiting un- til the. case is filled, or when you have a chance to go to town, or in the house under broody hens, whenthey are not gathered frequently. Why produce such a perishable arti- cle at all when the remedy is so sim- ple, just by "Swatting' the Rooster," or removing him from the pens from which the eggs to sell come. An in- fertile egg will keep so much better than a fertile one that there is hardly any comparison between them. In- fertile eggs could be placed in an in- eubator for twenty-one days,—the hatching time, -and' used for cooking purposes, and it is doubtful if they would be found in the least objection- able. But what of the infertile egg that has not matured a chick? The stench from it is -terrible! This is the relative condition of the fertile and infertile egg when subjected to heating wider the same circumstances and gives some idea ofthe value of taking precautions to have only in- fertile eggs produced -at this time of year, By guaranteeing that all eggs are infertile, that they can be depended upon to keep as long as possible, and supplying them in attractive contain- ers, it is possible to obtain always several cents better than the market price for them. If the price drops too low, it will pay anyone who will do so to use one of the many ways that can' be used for preserving the eggs until later in the year, when eggs are scarce and good prices prevail for well -kept eggs. Eggs to be stored, in the first place should therefore be from hens having no males running with them, because an infertile egg keeps longer, even without the use of the preservative; than a fertile egg; second, perfectly fresh, for not only will they keep bet- ter, but if an egg that "has begun to decay ie placed in the same vessel with fresh ones, it is likely to affect all the surrounding eggs; and, third, perfectly clean, for filth of any kind adhering to the shell will taint the preserving medium and thus taint the eggs. In placing eggs in the preser- vative be careful to seethat none of the eggs get cracked. Keep them in a moderately cool room - where the temperature may be kept fairly con- stant. A dry clean cellar is a suitable place. There are several very good ways of preserving eggs, and one of them eau be selected that will suit the ability of the user to obtain the ingre- dients in his own locality. Of the many methods for use on a small scale ;Ione has proved more success- ful than water -glass (sodium silicate). This is a very cheap product, and can usually be secured at not to exceed fifty cents a gallon, and one gallon will make enough solution to preserve fifty dozen eggs, so that the cost of material would not exceed more than one cent a dozen. Pure water that has been boiled and then cooled should be used. To each fifteen or twenty quarts of water one quart of water -glass should be used. The solu- tion should be premixed, placed in the jar or other vessel, and the fresh eggs added from time to time until the jar. is filled, but be sure that there are two inches of solution always cover- ing the eggs. The eggs should not be washed before .pecking, for washing inures the keeping quality, probably bYdissolving the mucilaginous coat- ing. 2s.,good limawater preservative may be made as follows: Thirty gallon@ of Water, •10 pounds of salt, one-half bushes of finely stacked lime.

There must always be at least two inches -cover- ing the eggs with these two methods also, Cold storage is undoubtedly the beat andmost practical method of preserv- ing eggs in large quantities in a com- mercial way. As the processes by which a low temperature can be main- tained for an indefinite period have become more and more improved the greater has been the number of eggs stored, until the cold storage business has reached such proportions that it has a considerable influence on the price of eggs, tending to lower it in winter and raise it in summer. A record of twenty crates of eggs stored last season in Buffalo will give. some idea of the profit in this meth- od. These eggs were shipped in when they were selling for table, use at 17 cents per dozen. This would make the total $102,00. These sameeggs were sold in December at an average of thirty cents a dozen, which made a total of $180.00, or a difference of $78.00 in favor of cold storage. The cold storage plant charged two cents a dozen for the period, which made a total of $12.00 for stor- age. To this is to be added $6.20 ex- pressage and the commission man's charge of $11.00,„ makinga total of expenditures of $30.20 and leaving $47.80 clear and above what the cost of storage and . other expenses amounted to. There is no question that storage in this way properly handled -is very profitable. Burns and Scalds. In life we have to take risks—that is part of the game. And no one can play his part manfully who is rot prepared to do tills, when it is rea- sonable and needeul so to do, el hen the chances of civ,ard or benefit are suffici eptly in J le'S favour, or when it would be pusillanimous or cowardly not to face the music. The wealthy travellers on the unfortunate Lusia- tania doubtless viewed matters in this light—the chances semed great- ly in their favor. And, however bit- terly we deplore the sad end of so many valuable lives, we cannot but profoundly admire their pluck, and ever regard with the deepest respect their brave cdnstaney and determina- tion not to be frightened out of what they had resolved to do. But for all that it is unwise and even foolish to take risks that involve no appreciable reward in case of suc- cess, and that are easily avoidable. Andre went out to seek the North Pole. At the last minute some of his apparatus broke and the balloons had to go some hundred feet higher than had been intended --a serious matter in • such a temperature. He would not pause for repairs. Conse- quently he and his comrades were never seen again. That was brave in- deed, but at the same time it was a utter fool -hardiness. This may seem a long way form the titular subject of our article. But so many burns and scalds are the result of sheer carelessness and neglect — particularly where young children are concerned. People leave them play- ing about the fire in cold weather without taking the most • ordinary common-sense precautions that they shall not go near. Then comes in- jury, possibly death. As a student in hospital I well remmber the num- bers carried in on a frosty morning, and mostly burnt all over, Al- though the parents were mostly poor and of the laboring classes, few pro- bably could not have afforded to set up some sort of fire -guard, or to have otherwise kept their infants out of harm's way. They need not have taken useless and uncalled for risks. —A Physician. 'F Just As Good. Tourist—"You have an unusually large acreage of corn under cultiva- tion.

Whenever possible the Kaiser when travelling between Berlin and the fighting -line uses his luxurious State train, which is a veritable palace on wheels. Six coaches, each weighing over sixty tons, compose the special train, and one of these four are re- served for the Emperor' and his suite, and the other two are used for kitch- ens. The second coach in the train is the one reserved by the Kaiser for his personal quarters, and it contains a salon, bedroom, dressing -room, bath- room, and sleeping apartments for his bodyguard, The salon is panelled in the wood of an ancient cedar tree taken from Mount Lebanon, the gift of ex -Sultan Abdul Hamid of Turkey. The floor is of black wood taken from the piles of a wooden bridge built across tele Rhine .by Julius Caesar in the year 55 B.C., while the ceiling is decorated with a design representing the six great rivers of Germany. The windows of the salon are pro- tected by thick bars, and armed sen- tries stand at the doors of the apart- ment night and day. The last coach in the train is used by an engineer, who has charge of the machinery which. operates a complicated system of emergency brakes. The Kaiser's two dachshunds, Wardl and He'd, have their kennels on the train, and they generally accompany their mas- ter on his travels. e+ New Record in Tea Prices.

The bacil- lus attacks the mucous membrane, generally of the throat, and sets up a local inflammation. During the course of the inflammation a mem- branous deposit appears, in which the bacilli rapidly multiply, and produce a poison that sometimes remains local and sometimes is absorbed into the system. A certain susceptibility to the germ is necessary in order that a person shall have an attack of diph- theria; for it is often discovered in the throats of healthy people who have been exposed, but who have an inherited or an acquired immunity— that may, however, be only tempor- ary. empor- a Although the diphtheria germ can attack any mucous membrane, it is When it affects the throat that it causes the disease commonly called "diphtheria." Cases of diphtheria are of all degrees of severity mild, severe, and malignant, Even in mild cases the patient is, unntistak- ably ill. There is a good deal of fever ISSUE 20-15, as the threat symptoms develop, the Mantis membranes become red and swollen, patches form on the tonsils, pharynx, or uvula, the pulse is rapid, and there is a less of appetite, with mere or less prostration. After a day or two local symptoms. grow less, and except for a little an- aemia and weakness, the sufferer will be virtually well. In mere severe cases all the symptoms are more viru- lent, the swelling and congestion much greater,' and the whole throat is eovered with a thick, grayish, false membrane, In unfavorable cases, stupor or delirium appears; the false membrane spreads from the pharynx to the larynx and obstructs the breathing, or the heart fails, In the malignant eases the outcome is inevitably fatal, The most slang- Brous complications in all cases of diphtheria are pneumonia, which is to be greatly feared in .the laryngeal type; heart failure, which is possible in all severe eases; and paralysis, which sometimes occurs as a result of the poisoning of the system by the toxins. In ordinary oases the 'pane: lysis lasts only a few weeks, al- though in more severe cases there Mel be great atrophy of the muscles, and recovery may be delayed for months. The treatment of diphtheria is a matter entirely for the physician, for it consists first of all in the im- mediate administration of antitoxin. —Youth's Companion.

Many curious badges are to be found on the caps of various British regiments. The 17th Lancers, or "Death or Glory Boys," as they are nicknamed, for example, have a skull and crossbones for their badge or crest. The most extraordinary, however, of all the crests worn by soldiers fighting for the Empire is probably that worn by one of the Grenadian regiments, the 90th Win- nipeg Rifles. Tho badge shows a little black devil with a pitchfork, and below it is a motto in Latin which means "Named by the enemy on the field of battle." The reason for this curious badge and its motto is to com- memorate the way the Winnipeg Rifles fought when suppressing the Canadian North-West Rebellion of the Red Indians, who called them "the little black devils from Winnipeg," which has now become the nickname of the regiment.
