Anyhow, Adrien's safe there for another hour, and I came on to give you a word of warn- ing."

"Well?" she queried, impatiently striking the table wibh her fork. Jasper leant forward and spoke with calm, unpleasant deliberation. "Ada," said he, "there was once a person who killed the goose that laid him .golden eggs; there was another who beat his horse till it pitched him into the ditch; but neither of these attained such a height of folly, as Miss Lester bids fair ,to reach, if she persists in worrying her prize donkey into kicking her to the ground and leaving her in the mud." "Oh, don't be an idiot, Jasper!" she exclaimed irritably. "Speak out plain can't you?" "I certainly can, and will, my dear lady. To put it plainly, then, you are going to quickest way to make Adrien tired of you. After all, if you happen to possess a goose with the propen- sity to lay golden eggs, surely it is wise to humor him. And if the said goose happens to dislike the smell of onions, why fill the house with that particular. perfume, sufficient to suffo- cate an elephant? Again, is it not the height of folly to stick plaster statues on the staircase which he ascends daily, when you know this particular The walls were adorned with pictures in the worst possible taste and the most glaring colors. As Vermont reached the first floor, a strong, sav- ory odor filled the air. He smiled sarcastically, and sniffed as if the perfume were familiar to him. "Miss Lester at supper?" he asked the white -capped maid, as she threw open the door on the first floor, and stood aside to let the visitor precede her. "Yes, sir; supper's been served," was the demure answer. Vermont passed into the room, which was furnished with the same lack of taste as the staircase. Two women were seated at the table, ap- parently just finishing their sapper. At first glance they might have been more to his host, "Good -night, Shleton," be said smilingly.

THE CANADA STARCH CO. LIMITED, MONTREAL. 278,.' YOUTH OF FRANCE DIE IN FULL DRESS NATION OF TO -DAY BORN" SINCE DEFEAT BY GERMANY. Students at Saint Cyr Gallantly Go To Battle in Gayest Uniform. • The glorious heroism displayed at the beginning of the war by the students of the French military school of St. Cyr was revealed in the course of a lecture delivered in Lon- don by M. Maurice Barres. The annual promotion of young of- ficers at the Saint Cyr school of July 81, 1914—just as the war was begin- ning—was the occasion of a remark- able demonstration of patriotism. Not only the men who had just re- ceived their commissions in the French army and were about`to leave the school, but also the junior , stu- dents who still had another year of studies before them, swore on that occasion that, they would proceed to the front and go into action to re- ceive their baptism of fire - wearing their full dress uniforms with patent leather boots, white kid gloves and plumed kepis. They all kept their word, and were killed almost to the last man, the Germans having no trouble in picking them out oil ac- count of their conspicuous dress. "Foolish valor though it may have been," added M. Barres, "it was yet in accord with the traditional spirit of France and symbolized the enthusiasm with which the entire nation arose to defend its own existence," and struck the table with a force which set the glasses jingling. (To be continued.). GERMANS IN FRANCE. Have .Destroyed. Marc .Than,. 50,000 Houses and Factories. A Parliamentary investigation into the material damage done during the war has just been made. Statistics were collected from eleven of the eighty-slx departments one (Ardennes) escaping all investigation as being completely occupied. No inquiries were mad in non -in- vaded n -n - e ori vaded departments which have suf. fered from bombs dropped by aero- planes or Zeppelins, as the damage thus done has been comparatively slight ' France is subdivided into 36,247 communes, and the number still oc- cupied by the enemy is 2,554, slightly of scarlet, touched with black, and she was wearing diamonds—gifts from her many admirers—of such in- trinsic valve as to render many a countess jealous.

"He's so particular. But he's nob coming to -night; least - ways he said he wasn't." "Ah!" said Vermont smiling, as he seated himself at the .table and took up a small bottle, which proved to be empty. "IIs there anything left to drink?" !, v "'Have some fizz," said Ada hos- pitably. "Ring the bell, Ju. and give me another chop. Well, Jasper, what's the news?" - "Just the question I was about to ask," he replied; as the maid -servant brought in a bottle of champagne and glasses on a silver tray. "How did the comedy go?" i?. totally and 25,594 partially, Public buildings have been destroyed in 423 communes, 221 being city halls,. 379 schools and 331 churches. Fifty- six buildings classified as historical monuments have been destroyed or severely damaged, the most notable being Arras town hall, the cathedral, archbishop's palace, St. Remy Church and clty hall at Rheims. Three l}im- dred and thirty manufactories have been destroyed, which formerly sup- ported nearly 60,000 people. The toll of damage done will of course be greatly increased when de- tails are available for the 2,554 com- munes still occupied by• the enemy and the 247 that have veen evacuated. zse�vi�e eorlier Dainty Dishes. Pepper Hash.—One dozen red pep- pers: One e dozen green peppers. Three'' or four large onions. Two cups gran- ulated sugar. Three tablespoons salt. Three cups vinegar.

Let boil ten min utes, strain, and add to vinegar on cup of flour, six tablespoons of mus bard which has previously been rubbe to a paste with a little, vinegar then P Gallantry Marks Youth. Continuinghis lecture, M. Barres said one thing only counted—that France should no longer be a beaten nation. The France of August 2, 1914, was born during the forty years she had passed under the, menace of Germany. Sorrow, long humiliation, exploded at lost in hope, M. Barres went on: "With the older then it was other- wise. Men of 40, fathers of families, do not rush to death with the same careless gallantry that marks youths of 18. ' Gemens, spero, was their de- vice, but they knew wherefor - they fought, anof their sacrifice was not less noble for being made with deli- berate heroism. At first there exist- ed a shadow of sans culottisme among these citizen soldiers, an ex- cessive felling of independence. Rut- in face of the common danger it rip- ened, and was ennobled. "These men continued to look upon each other with*a severely critical eye, but took for their standard of judgment the services rendered by each to the common weal. They re- spected true superiority, that of the heart and that of the mind. Between them and their chiefs there grew up a respectful brotherhood. As one of them, an international Socialist, wrote, Has not our internationalist faith been justified, -seeing that it inspired our will to save Fiance?' They •all felt the need and. the pride of shed- ding their blood for a just cause. "We Have Thrashed Them." y - A Rising Concern. "So you've invested your money in a new airship company." "Yes, If our. airship goes up, the stock will go up." "But suppose it doesn't?" "Then the. company will go up." People who do net believe all they hear are fond of repeating, it, • half quarts of vinegar and two table- spoons of celery seed. four over minutes, Foil fifteenn vegetables and b,, then remove Irmo fire and add two tablespoons of turmeric powder dis- solved in a little hot water. Seal up Rhubarb Fig Relish.—One pint dri- ed figs. Two quarts fresh rhubarb. One-half pint blanched almonds. Three pints sugar. One -sixteenth teaspoonful each of cloves, cinnamon, allspice- and nutmegs. Stew figs in pint of water and cook until tender. Drain off any liquid and mash. Slaw breaking rhubarb after skinning and at 6 into small pieces iu a pint of water until tender. Drain off any liquid', mash and mix in the figs, sugar and spices. Cook two hours on low flame or on back of cook. stove. Place asbestos mat underneath pan bo prev- ent -scorching; alos stir often.. Add broken nuts ten minutes before taking from fire. Place in jarshot and seal. This is delicious with fowl and meats. Tomato Preserve.—Pare tomatoes— Cut in half crosswise, take a half in each hand and squeeze out all the juice and seeds you can without loos- ing the pulp. Put on slow fire, and do not add a drop of water. As the juice comes out of the tomatoes turn it off until you see you would loose pulp by turning off any more. Boil down as close as you dare by careful watching. Add two-thirds as much sugar as you have tomato. Cook an - til they are thick but not so thick that they are nob quite liquid. About twenty minutes before they are done add one lemon cut in very thin slices. Put in self -sealers and eat when jack frost is in the air. "To perceive the height of moral feeling which they reached we must understand the symbolic action of the heroic Lieut. -Col. Driant, who at tiro risk of his life crawled to .a wounded lieutenant, and under the enemy's fire received 'his confession and gave him absolution. Thus military units acquired - a collective soul and lived in an atmosphrere in which saints are born. A regiment, 8,200 strong, spiel: and span, passed on its way to the trenches the remnant of another regi- ment reduced to 250 nten and com- manded by a captain.

For God's Sake Be Sure You Send 17x1 Enough.' The point of view of the soldier ins the trenches is very plainly stated iti the following appeal to munition' workers and allothers engaged morel directly in the production of material] for the Army, submitted by a wound -1 ed Tommy at Southampton. Be was, formerly a reporter, and on the way: over in the steamer he wrote this moving message:— "A11 I want to say to the people at home is this:—You can never eat your dinner, or smoke a pipe, or read a newspaper, or go to 'the pictures{i- but what, while you are getting through with it, some scores of your' own country men are knocked out byi Roche bullets and shells. There's, not the slightest need for you to be, depressed about this. Go ahead withi the dinner, and the pipe, and the'pic-, tures/ and the rest of it as much as ever you like. We're nob giving' away a drop of your countrymen's blood; not this year. It's all being sold on a good business basis and fetching an excellent price, thank you; a better price it may be than it ever fetched before in all the history of the Empire. So don't grieve after us. Our high Commands know what they're doing, and Master Boche's doom is set; and he ]mows it, and we know it. We're doing our bit all, right. Are you? "I'm pretty sure you are by the way our heavies have been talking in the last fortnight. Keep it up. We've got a hunched miles front out there, and as far as I can make out we're pressing Master Boche pretty, hard over every yard of it. Ib's the only way to end the war; and as for the time it will take, I reckon that's; largely in your hands now.

It boils down to muni- 'bions Household Flints. Summer squash may be fried ex- actly like eggplant. An egg becomes a complete food if rice is added to it. Dried figs are more nourishing than an equal weight of bread. Half a pint of milk and half a pound of dates form a perfect meal. A red hot iron will soften old putty so that it can be easily removed. Water can be softened by boiling. A little borax or baking soda added to the water will also soften ib. If a soft piece of home-made bread is rubbed on a scorch on woollen goods it will remove it entirely. If labels won't stick on your glass fruit jars, scratch the metal tops of the jars and paste the labels 'there. When it is difficult to turn ice cream out of its can, allow cold wa- ter to run over the outside of the' can. A piece' of cloth clipped in spirits of wine and robbed upon soiled leather will remove every spot on it. A little water in the wash -tub after using will keep it from drying out when it is set away for the week.

Not only is Longyear City the most northerly mining town, but it bids fair to become a place of importance, now that a Norwegian company has taken over the vast coal fields of Spitsber- gen. Tho enterprise is on a very large scale. The coal fields which the Nor- wegian company will develop oovsr an area of over 656 square miles, of which one-seventh has been surveyed, and ii is estimated that this alone will yield something like 100,000,000 tons of coal from the first stratum, and the second stratum will probably yield as much more. There are other coal veins ol. which little is yet known, .The enter- prise is regarded as a national one, and eventually thousands of miners 1 will be employed.
