A TRENCH BATTLE.
How Wounded Frenchmen Repulsed a
German Attack.
One of the remarkable stories of the
war is that of the French sergeant
who 'in a`position of peculiar danger
saved the situation by his sthange and
piercing cry, "Debout, les mortal"
(Stand up, you dead men!) An officer
who 'witnessed the episode thus de-
scribes it:
We were putting in order a trench
we had just taken. At the barrier of
sandbags at each end two pickets kept
careful guard.
Suddenly from behind a mound of
earth a perfect avalanche of bombs
came hurtling down upon our heads,
and before our men realized what was
happening, ten of them lay dead or
wounded ab the bottom of the trench.
I opened my mouth to rally my men,
but a stone from the parapet, loosen-
ed by a falling bomb, crashed down
upon my head and knocked me sense-
less.
But only for a second. A bursting
bomb shattered my hand and the
pain brought me back to life. As I
opened my eyes, faint and"dizzy, I saw
a band of Germans leaping over the
„sandbags into the trench—twenty or
so of them—without rifles, but with
rush' baskets full of bombs hung about
their necks.
I looked to the right and to the left.
All our men had gone; bhe trench was
empty. Just then one of my men, who
had been lying apparently lifeless, a
gash across his forehead, another on
his chin and his whole face covered
with blood, sat up, seized. a sack of
grenades lying near and shouted, "De -
bout, los meets!" Then he got up on.
his knees and hurled grenade after
grenade atethe enemy.
At his shout three other men strug-
gled up. Two whose legs were broken
seized their rifles and opened fire, each
shot going home with deadly effecte.
the third man, whose right arm hung
useless at his side, grasped his bay-
onet with his left hand. By the time
I was on my feet, having quite come
to myreif again, half our enemies
were struck clown and the rest were ,
retreating in disorder.
There, alone, leaning against the
parapet and protected by a huge iron,
shield, stood an enormous German
sergeant, sweating,
panting, ng,
splutter-
in
gvibh rage, and.
bravely emptied
his revolver at us.
The man who had rallied us, the
hero at whosa word the dead had come
to life, got one
of the'
shots right 'n
g t 1
the face. He reeled and fell.
Suddenly his comrade with the bay-
onet, who had carefully crawled for-
, sheltered by the bodies of his
fallen mates, pulled himself together,
and, dodging two'bullets, aimed at
him, with ono gigantic effort plunged
his weapon into the German's throat.
It was over; we held our ground;
we were saved. At that all -impelling
call the dead indeed had come to life.

I4irst Aid Work of 'the Canadian
Pacific Railway Centre,
"A'most successful year, notwith-
standing the general depretaion."
This is the pleasing statement con-
tained in the sixth annual report of
the Canadian Pacific . Railway Centre
of the St. John Ambulance Associa-
tion, For the 1
io t vel. a months, midi
ng
v t ng
September 30, 1915, no less thant1,816
passed qualifying examinations out of
a total of 2,604 who presented them
eelves for inktruction et • the classes.
In all the departments of the C.P.R.
Centre of the; Association, which
Spreads over 'ltheepountq y, d greater
zeal than eve' was manifested for
work, and the s rpport of the superin-
tending officials of the C.P.R. is in no
small way responsible for a good deal
of the advancement made. Wives
and daughters of C.P.R. employees
have taken advantage of the free
course of training offered, and now
no less than 825 ladies hye taken
out the certificate of qualification
from the Association.
Under the auspices of the C.P.R.
Centre instruction was given to the
Borden Battery and Ammunition
Column before leaving Montreal for
the front. Afterwards the certificates
of merit were presented to the offi-
cers and men by His Royal Highness
the Duke of Connaught.
An important feature of the work
of the C.P.R. Centre was the bringing
of a large number' of the lady clerks
of the C.P.R. into touch with the Red
Cross Society, an organization to
which they proved a valuable asset.
Three men were saved from drown-
ing at Winnipeg by W. T. Davies, C.
P.R. ambulance instructor, and Wil-
liam Newcombe, a C.P.R. constable.
Sir Donald Cameron presented the
medal of the Royal Canadian Humane
Society to each in recognition of 'their
bravery.
Particulars were obtainable of 3,-
780 cases Where first aid had been
administered by members of the
C.P.R. Centre. The cases were thus
divided: Atlantic Centre, 9; Eastern
Division, 180; Ontario Division, 136;
western lines, 3,440,
Concluding the report of the C.P.R.
Centre pays a glowing tribute to the
late Lieutenant -Colonel -Lacy R. John-
son, who had been chairman of the
Centre under review and also of the
whole Association. During his time
as chairman nearly 7,000 employees
of the C.P.R. passed the qualifying
examinations, and in this way made
themselves better citizens of the Do-
minion.
A ZEPPELIN PASSES.
A Striking Picture of Its Visit to an
English Village.
There have been many graphic de-
scriptions of darkened London await-
ing the Zeppelins; many, too, of the
actual arrival of the aerial raiders.
But Mr. Alfred 011ivant, the novelist,
in "The House on the Cliff," makes
the anticipation, the coming and the
passing of a Zeppelin through a little
coastland village of England a picture
more striking and .memorable than
any—perhaps because in the telling
his sense neither . of moderation, of
humor nor of beauty failed him.
A few minutes a rhad gone bo
after he
his toom the fleet night of his stay,
,
his host, the colonel, came up and
knocked.
"You're re showing a streak of
g
li ht
a 'o
through the curtains;" he said nxts-
u
ly. "Do you mind if I arrange
them?" He stood on a chair and
made certain delicate adjustments,
setting to work as a dressmaker goes
about to fit a lady's gown. "They
fine you ten pounds for the first
offense," he said; his mouth full of
pins. "The occupant of the room
pays," he added with quiet gusto,
"not the owner. And for the second
offense you do time."
"All through the winter our lights
were the colonel's hobby,his anxiety
and delight. He was terribly thor-
ough. From bathroom, lavoratories,
passages and holes the bulbs were re-
moved to guard against temptation
and servants against carelessness,
You washed in the dark, and you said
good -by to your friends by the light
of the moon. And every night, when
the blinds were down and the curtoins
drawn, the colonel went his rounds.
And, if about the hour of dark,
you went into one of the seaward
rooms, you would be pretty sure to be
greeted by'a spectral voice from the
ceiling, '11tn not very happy about this
curtain,' . . and you would be aware
of a gaunt and vulture-like figure
perched on stable or a chair, safety
pin in mouth, adjusting a chink."
But when at last a Zeppelin came,'
it came by day.
"It was a February , afternoon of
the fairest," says Mr, 011ivant.
"I was slowly climbing the last hill
home when of a sudden I was aware
of I knew not what.
"Some primeval instinct warned me
to beware,
"I stood with ears alert, and sniffed.
"There was a faint, strange smell.
in the air, and a faint, far humming.
"I looked seaward. Nothing was
visible but a remote destroyer. I gas
ed up into the heavens, Not a speck
darkened the distant blue. Then a
man on the crest of the hill, fifty
yards above the, a woman at his side,
cried suddenly:
"'There sho goes!'
"I looked again. And sheer over-
head I caught a flash and sparkle. It
was infinibely,far, a part of theblue;
as if a tiny patch of heaven had sed•
deniy crystallized.
"For a moment I was astounded,
•
The lovelinese of that remote and shin-
ing something, on whose uuderwings
the westering sun was beating up,
1posaeseed and dazzled me. , , ,
"There was a Bangs bangl bang!
and out of the green hillside across
i the valley, two hundred yards away,
suddenly spurted great mushrooms of
smoke, one after another. Bang!
bang! bangl and one of the houses
skirmishing on the outskirts of the
town was enveloped in a dirty cloud.
"'Take coyter!' cried -a fierce, author-
itative voice near by,
"The man on the crest, who was
lame, limped swiftly into his house,
the woman scuttling before him, I
was left on bhe flare road, conscious
of that fatal and beautiful thing pois-
ed plumb overhead. I dared not look
up. Were I to do so, the falling bomb
would surely catch me in the, face!
and I preferred to take it in the
neck.
"I made for the house opposite; it
was empby and locked.
"Then' came the lame man running
out. 'Come in here, sir!' he called,
"But it was all over. And the crea-
ture from another world was flying
homeward in the light of the sinking
sun, the smoke of its handiwork pur-
suing it leisurely across the waters
in pillars of soot."
fie is Just One More
of The Many
WHO HAS FOUND NEW HEALTH
IN DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.
e,
Philip McLeod Tells How He Suffered
from Kidney Trouble for Years and
Found a Quick and Complete Cure
in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Tarbot, Victoria Co., C.B., June
19th (Special.)—Philip McLeod is just
one more of the many residents in
this neighborhood who have found
new health in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I have used Dodd's Kidney Pills
with great success," Mr. McLeod
states. "For years I had kidney
trouble and could get nothing to help
me. Hearing of what Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for others led me to
use them. Five boxes cured me com-
pletely.
"I have recommended Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills to many people. I cannob
speak too highly of them."
The testimony of people who have
been cured is better than all the
theory in the world. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are purely and simply a kidney
remedy. If you have kidney trouble
all you need to do is to ask others.
They will. tell you that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cure you.
They will also bell you that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cure rheumatism, dropsy,
heart disease, diabetes, gravel and
Bright's disease. That is because all
these diseases are either kidney
diseases or are caused by diseased
kidneys.
LOST PROVINCES RICH.
Alsace-Lorraine Has Vast Deposits of
Potahs, Iron and Coal.
Quite aparb orb from strong senti-
menal reasons, French people want to
get their lost provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine back because of their actual
value.
In the provinces are some of the
greatest potash mines in the world.
These mines alone yield £4,000,000
worth of potash every yer. Natural.
ly, while the Germans have owned
them they have made many millions
out of them, supplying the world with
potash, and with fertilizers from the
rock salt which is mixed up with the
potash beds.
Another fact about Lorraine which
will surprise most people is that it
has half the worjd's supply of iron
ore, as well as huge untapped coal
deposits. For the coal alone France
would like Lorraine for she is short
of coal, and has to import 10,000,000
tons a year.
Altogether, the return of Alsace-
Lorraine will increase France's an-
nual income by some £10,000,000, so
there is a business side as well as
a sentimental one bo the recapture of
the lost provinces.

THE SUMMERLESS YEAR.
What the Year MG Was Like !n This
Country.
The year 1810, than is, 100 years
ago, says the Perth Expositor, was
known as the "summerless snminer:"

of June, by the middle of August it
was one foot in depth, and from the.

Following summer the earth remained
under the covering of bhe wintry
blanket, Absolutely nothing in the
way of harvest was garnered. Every-
thing in the way of crops rotted in
the ground, What did the people live
on? Meat—meat and fish—there were
no vegetables and there was no flour;
it, was venison and flsh to -day, reliev-
ed by fish and flesh to -morrow, taken
from slaughter -cattle. Bay had to
be whipped from Ireland to save the
starving cattle in Quebec, and it sold
there for $46 per ton; flour sold at
$17 per barrel in Quebec, and pota-
toes were one penny a pound, This
year was called "the year eighteen
hundred and frozen to death." The
cause of the cold was believed to be
sunspots, which were so large that
for the first time in their history they
could be seen without the aid of a
telescope. Ib was also known as
"poverty year." In New Hampshire
hay sold at 5180 a ton. The next
springthe market price of corn was
52; a bushel, of wheat, 52.50; rye, 52;
oats, 90e; beans, $3; butter, 25c per
lb. (It ueoally sold in those days. at
eight or ten cents.) Further particu-
lars of the "summerless summer," The
Expositor: adds, are among the files of
the Grenville Historical Society.

The group made a pdetty picture,
but Billy was thinking of quite anoth-
er picture .that of her brothers, John
and Oliver, fishing in Bowker Brook,
a mile or more beyond the village.
They had gone off without her early
in the morning, and Billy had saiell,
"Oh, I wish I were a boy!" so many
times that elle ,was tired of it. So
she sat on the step to think it over.
Suddenly she jumped to her feet,
"I'll go, anyway!" she cried. "It isn't
fair for the boys to have all the fun of
a Saturday holidays"
Blanco and Cicero watched Billy
leave the yard and start down the
road. Then they curled up for a
nap in the sun. Miss Tampa was
already sound asleep.
Billy knew the way well enough, but
she made up her mind to take a short
cut across the fields and through the
woods. It would save u lot of time. ,
She had climbed several fences and
was far from the road, with no houses
in sight, when she had her adventure.
The place was a valley w ell shut in by
hills, with a few trees here and there.
It looked as if it might be a pasture,
but Billy could see nothing to frighten
her when she climbed the fence, and
so she hurried on. The brook where
her brothers were fishing must be in
the woods just over the hills.
Strange noises behind her matte her

grunt more loudly and to run toward
I her. One brief look showed Billy
that the fence on the farther side of
the pasture was not far away, and
toward it she dashed as fast as her
feet would carry her. Then she stop-
ped, as suddenly as she had started,
for there were half a dozen hogs be-
tween her and the fence; and thy,
too, had seen her and were running to
meet her.
Perhaps the hogs thought that she
had come to feed them, or it may be
that they just wanted to be friendly,
bur. Billy did not feel like waiting to
see. Her quick eye showed her only
one way to safety --a scrubby tree
close at hand. Up into the branches
of that tree she scrambled faster than
she had ever climbed before, while
with many grunts the hogs gathered
at the foot of it and looked up at her
with little red eyes.
"0 dear!" cried Billy. "What am
I to do?, Go away, you horrid pigs,
go away!"
Ina little while most of the hogs
went away, but three or four stayed
under the tree.
The very largest I st one
g
lay down close to the trunk and went
to sleep. The others rooted in the
grass and leaves near by. Every tew
minutest they stopped and
looked up at
Billy.
Billy's perch seemed comfortable
enough at first, but before long she;
got very tired of it. Would those hogs !
never go away? A long time passed, l
Billy knew it must be noon, or later.
Several times she shouted; but the!
hills threw back an echo that she was
almost as much afraid of as she was;
of the hogs, although she knew that it
was foolish to feel that way.
At last all the hogs wandered off
except the big one that was asleep'
right at the foot of the tree,
The way to the fence is clear,"
thought Billy, "if I can only slip down
without waking up that old hog!" II
She tried to slide down the trunk
very carefully, but the big hog opened
its eyes and grunted, and she climbed
quickly back to her perch. After'
a time another plan carne to her. She
crawler out on a low branch just as
far as she could go, then quickly lot'
herself down until she hung by her
hands. The old hog seemed sound;
asleep. She let go and dropped to'
the ground. But her dress had
