One by one the great war has whit- tled down a whole list of comforts, services, pleasures and so -culled ne- cessities of life that the twentieth century thought indispensable. But no grumbling is heard from the peo- ple who have adjusted themselves to the changed conditions. Two years ago the English people were all travellers. The magic carpet lay waiting outside the door of the humblest citizen with a ten -pound note. "A Week in Lovely Lucerne for Five Pounds" was within the ambi- tion of the poorest worker. For two years now not a single Eng- lishman or Englishwoman, unless on "strict business only," has been able to leave England for the continent. Two years ago the Londoner could compass Boulogne or Ostend in a twenty-four hours' jaunt.

On the fall of the empire in the west, the history of Trieste merges in- to the history of Isbcia. It passed troublous times. It was through s11- pil- laged by the Longobardi and the Goths; was annexed to the Frankish kingdom by Pepin in 789; fell into the' hands of the dukes of Carinthia about! the middle of the tenth century, and from thence it passed successively through the hands of the dukes of Moran, the dukes of Bavaria into the possession of the republic of Venice.! aches were most violent and I could For the next 180 years, the history of not rest night or day.

For the convenience of the em- ployees, of whom there are nearly 2,000 in the Windeor Station build- ings, Montreal, the Canadian Pacific Railway has recently set up a eafe- tera luncheon at 15 cents in a large apartment which will accommodate 251 persons at a sitting, Judging by the attendances, it is bound to be one of the most popular features the com- pany has put its hand to, There are hundreds of girls, especially, who have not time to go home, or who, if they do go home, are greatly press- ed for time. With this service at their disposal they will save car fare; they will get a thoroughly satisfying luncheon and they can have the com- fort of tha lounge room in connection on wet or cold days—a lounge room which contains a piano, magazines! and papers and in which the em- ployees can rest for the balance of their lurch hour. The arrangement is four to a table; all the appoint- ments are harmonious; there is an air of quiet dignity about the place. Mr. W. A, Cooper, manager of the sleeping and dining car department, said that this was ill accordance with the well-known policy of the Canad- ian Pacific for taking care of its em- ployees. The people in the offices constituted quite a little city in themselves. Many could not go home with convenience. This lunch room would meet the wants of many. Of course, there would still be the 30 -cent luncheon upstairs, and the 'regular dining room in which you could have what you wanted and pay for the same as much as you liked; but this was strictly for the em- ployees, male and female, who would prefer to have their luncheon inside the building to going to restaurants —those of them who were in the hab- it of going to restaurants. eee— ffiinard's Liniment Ozres Burns, Eto. ag: "Another Article Against Tea and Coffee"— In spite of broad publicity, many people do not realize the harm that the drug, caf- feine, in tea and coffee 4oes to many users, until they try a 10 days change to P,I STUN Postum satisfies the de- sire for a hot table drink, and its users generally aleph better, feel bean a ,ire oftener and enjoy lfo mere.

"On the eleventh day he saw an of- ficer looking down into the shell hole, and movedhis hand to show he was alive. The officer called a stretcher party, and under fire they carried away the very feeble wounded man. One of the stretcher party was killed while performing the rescue.

Question of Reconstruction is Re- ceiving Attention. Day by day the question of recon- struction and of preparation for the great development anticipated in all directions after the war occupies a larger share of public attention in many countries. Paris has just held an exhibition of model houses on the terraces of the Jardin de Tuileries, and meetings, dealing with recon- struction and development work, are of frequent occurrence in both France and the United Ifingdom. The latest instance of this activity' is afforded in a report, recently made to the Birm- ingham corporation, on the question of rebuilding houses razed for mili- tary purposes and of proceeding with building schemes arrested by the out- break of t:he.war, two years ago. The report advises the expenditure of a sum amounting in all to something lilts .£300,000 on schools and other public buildings. *tnitrd'a Liniment for tam over/whine.
