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 strange and piercing ery, "Debout, les morts!" • (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, 0, gee- and before our men realized what was happening, ten of them lay dead or wounded ab the bottom a the trench. I opened my mouth to rally tray men, but a stone from the parapet, loosen- ed by a falling bomb, crashed clown uphn nay 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 righteand to the left. All our men had gone; the 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 has whole face covered with blood, sat up; seized a sack of grenades lying near and shouted, "De - bout, les mortal" Then he got up on has knees and hurled grenade after grenade at the enemy. At bis shout three other men sbrug- gled up. Two whose legs.were broken seized their rifles and opened fire, each shot going home with deadly effect; the third man, whose right arm hung useless at his side, grasped hie bay- onet with his left hand. By the time I was on my feet, having quite come to myeelf again, half our enemies were struck down and the rest were retreating in disorder, Thee, alone, leaning against the parapet and protected by a huge iron shield, stood an enormous German sergeant, sweating, panting, splutter- ing with rage, and bravely emptied his revolver at us. The man who had rallied us, the hero at whose word the dead had come to life, got one of the shots right* in the face: He reeled and fele Suddenly his comrade with'the bay- onet, who had carefully crawled for- ward, sheltered by the bodies of his fallen mates, pulled himself together, and, dodging two bullets, aimed at him, with one gigantic .effort plunged' his weapon into the Getman's throat. It was over; we held our ground; we were saved. At that all -impelling call the dead indeed had some to life. • Ile Knew The Kind. A hobo knocked on the back door of a suburban home, which was open- ed by a large muscular, hard -faced woman. "Get out of here, you miser- able trainp!!" exclaimed the woman in a. screechy voice at the first, sight of the hobo. "if you don't march straight:for that back gate I will call my husband!" "I guess not," was the calm response of the tramp. "He ain't at home." "Is that so, Mr. Tramp ?'' was the scornful rejoinder of the large laxly: 'How do you know he isn't at home?" "Because, "grill- ned the hobo, backing toward the anoimeaici gate, "when a man marries a woman like you he is home only at meal time."

Great Britain's Strength Ever - Increasing Through the Centuries. In the great battles of the sea pro- vious to the end of the eighteenth century the amount of bonnage of menden (meet engaged was compara- tively small, while the number of ships was large. Thus the Emperor. Claudius sank 2,000 Gothic ships in A.D. 260; in the great battle of Le- panto, in 1571, when the western pow - ere, led by Venice, first united to dis- pute the Moalem dominance of the lefediterranean, the Turks lost over 250 galleys mid 30,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners. But these and similar conflicts were not pro- perly naval engagements, but rather battles on the sea. Prior to the attempted invasion by the Spanish Armada, 1588, which cost Spain seventy-seven ships, and over 4;000 men there was no English navy in the modern sense. In the follow- ing century, however, both England and Holland developed navies, and the flower of those navies fought a great battle at the mouth •of the Thames on July 25-26, which cost the Dutch four admirals and over 4,00 sea- men. " Dreadnought Ancestors. To the French of the last half of the 'eighteenth century -under Louis XV. and Lois XVI. was due the development of the original ancestors of the dreadnought and cruiser, re- spectively the lifie of batblephip and the corvette, while it remained for the American navy in the war of 1812 to create the father of the battle cruiser, the swift -sailing, heavily armed frigate. Meanwhile, however, Lord Nelson had establisbed the rules. of naval strategy about as they are to -day, but it was nearly a century later, March 90, 1862, when the first battle of ironclads, the Monitor and the Merri- mac, took place in Hampton Roads that the primary elements—heavy guns behind impregnable defences— of naval ' tactics were established. With the use of steel for offence and defence, and with the revolution wrought in the application of each by high explosives, naval tactics have periodically changed, but the strategy of Nelson ha e remained what he made it. Defeat of the French. A. great battle was fought just be- fore he had' the opportunity to as- semble the experiences of past en- gagements in practical form. This was the battle between the navies of trance and England, fought off Uebreet, June 1st, 1749. On Haiti oc- casion the Britinh fleet, under Lord Howe, consisting of twenty-five ships of the line, attacked and defeated the French force of twenty-six under Admiral Villaret. Six of these were captured wild one was sunk. The French had on board 19,760 men; of these they lost 5,000; the Bribleh lost 1,148 from their total engaged of 17,240. Famous British Victories. the'last decade of the eighteenth century and in the nineteenth, three great naval engagements took place under Nelson's strategy and the old tactics. The battle of Camperdown, ctober 11, 1797; the battle of the Nile, August le 1798, and Trafalgar, October 21, 1805. At Camperclown sixteen British ships of the line under Admiral Duncan engaged a similar number of the Dutch fleet under Ad- miral de Winter. The Dutch fleet lost eight ships captured, and 1,160 men killed of the 7,150 engaged and 6,000 prisoners. The 13ritisb lost 825 of their force of 8,220. In the battle of the Nile, which end- ed Napoleon's scheme for an eastern empire, Nelson had thirteen 'ships end Ono fifty -gun ship. The French force was thirteen line -of -battle ships and four frigates ender Admiral Maley& They lose all but two of their ships, captured or destroyed, and. 3,000 of their 9,820 men.

At the battle of Trafalgar, in which Nelson lost his life, the British fleet consisted of twenty-seven line -of - battle ships and four frigates. -This force, in the most complete expres- sion of Nelson's strategy in history, attacked the allied French and Span- ish fleets of thirey-three line -of -battle ships and seven frigates,compelling twenty of the allied ships to strike their colors. The allies had 21,580 men engaged and the British 10,820. The British loss was 449 killed.

In the haat decade of the last cen- tury three great naval engagements were fought which marked the great- est development of the tactics of steel before the present war, with one exception in 1.905. In the battle of Yalu, Sept. 171 1894, between the Japanese and Chin- ese, 12 battleships were engaged on each side. The Chinese lost 5 ships and 1 disabled and between 600 and 800 men killed of a tobal .01 3,000. The Japanese lost 294 men and no ships. Fleets Destroyed. The two other engagements of this class were in the Spanish-American war of 1898. On April 27 the Span- ish squadron of eleven ship under Admiral Montejo was attacked and destroyed in Manila Bay by Commo- dore Dewey with nine ships. Four hundred Spaniards were killed. On July 3 Admiral) Cerverrni squadron left Santiago harbor, Cuba, and was attacked by the Arnerican fleet under Admiral Sampson, and destroyed with the exception of one ship which sur- rendered: The Spanish loss was over 600, and 692, including the wounded Admiral Cervera, were made prisoner.

The ItUSSinn flagship, Kniaz Somme, was blown up; a Russian admiral, Felker- sahn, was killed; 21 Russian ships were sunk, including 6 battleships, 4 cruisers, a coast defence ship, 4 spe- cial service ships and 3 destroyers, and 5 were captured, including 2 bat- tleships. The Russians lost 4,000 kill- ed or drowned mid 7,282 officers and men taken prisoner. The Japanese lost 3 torpedo boats, 116 officers and men killed and 588 wounded. ST. JOHN AMBULANCE.

The year 1816, that is, 100 years ago, says the Perth Expositor, was known as the "swan-am:less streamer." Snow commenced falling in the middle of June, by the middle of August it was one foot in depth, and from the first fall of snow in June until the following summer the earth remained under the covering of the wintry blanket. Absolutely nothing in the way of harvest was garnered. Every- thing in the way of crops rotted in the ground, What diel the people live on? Meat—meat and fish—there were Iso vegetebles and there was no flour; ib was venison and flsh to -day, reliev- ed by fish and fleeh to -morrow, taken frone slaughter -cattle. Hay had to be shipped from 'Ireland to save the starving cattle in Quebec, and it sold there for $45 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. Te was also known as "poverty year." In New Hampshire hay sold at $180 a ton. The next spring the market price of corn was $2; a bushel of wheat, $2.50; rye, $2; Oats, 90e; beanie $8; butter, 26e per lb. (It usually 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.

Alsace-Lorraine Has Vast Deposits of Potahs,'Iron and Coal. Quite apart: from strong senti- uienal 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 manes in the world. These mines alone yield 14,000,000 .vorth of potash every yen Natural - y, while the Germans 'have owned hem they have made many millions ut of them, supplying the world with otash, and with fertilizers from the ock salt which is mixed up with the otash beds. Another fart about Lorraine which vill surmise most people is that it as half the world's supple 'of iron re, as well an huge untapped coal oposits, Far the coal alone France vould like Lorraine for she is short f coal, and has to import 10,000,000 ons a year. Altogether, the return aiof Alsace- rraino will increaae France's ut- ile] income by some 110,000,000, so here is a business 'eirle as well as a sentimental one to the recapture of the lost provinces.

Vhert Adam and Eve Walked Around They Were as Tail as Trees. In recene years anatomists have shown in a practical eviay that the height of a man or woman can be increased to a considerable extent by appliances for seretehingf, (aye the Indianapolis News. These exten- sions, however, hew) cinly been of inches or fractions of an inch, and giants have not been, nor are they likely to be, developed by artificial means. It was a French savant, named Iienrioe, who, 200 years ago, gave to the world authoritative state- ments as to the height of Adam ancl Eve. He said that the father of the rase was 128 feet 9 inches high ancl Eve 118 feet 9 inches.
