The Australian gold' mines, for a time among the most productive in the World, appear to be giving out. The yield has been gradually declin- ing for twelve years, and that of 1914,. according to reports to the comptrol- ler of the currency, was the lowest since 1896, amounting to only 42,300,- 000, as against $79,300,000 in 1903., The yield in the state of Victoria in 1914 was the smallest since 1851. The Australian gold yield, in fine ounces, has been as follows in the last three years: 2,048,910 in 1914, 2,205,- 061 in 1913, 2,321,343 in 1912. The highwater mark was in 1903-3,827,- 064 ounces. The state of Victoria has given the world, since her mines were opened in 1851, more than 1,435,618,000 of gold. Her largest production in a year was in 1850-3,053,744 ounces. The state of Western Australia has been the premier Australian gold - beater since the beginning of the pre- sent century, having supplied in the last fifteen years 23,000,000 ounces, as against 9,000,000 by Victoria. The third largest gold -producing state in Australia is Queensland. Tired of, Him. He -I always pay as I go.

NUMBERS WILL SFITEE WAR SO A NAVAL 'AND MILITARY EXPERT DECLARES. The Relative Positions of the .tallies and the Ramey Compared. .Mr. Hillaire Belloe, the eminent English naval and military writer in a recent speech declared that the fact of numbers -in this war was all im- portant. , Mr. Belloe said: - At the present time, as has been the case right alongfrom the opening of the war, the factor of netnbers is all important. It is impossible to discuss war intelligently without realizing that fact. Rhetorical en- ergy is wasted when it merely de- scribes organization or efficiency and does not discuss numbers. The enemy's organization and ef- ficiency are no better than those of the allies, but lie has more men, and that is an essential to success.' The German's latest success in Galicia has been gained by weight of num- bers. I say that because the Russians are unable to provide themselves with the necessary munitions. It is su- periority in numbers which has just given France her victory north of Ar- ras, and the whole problem is one surrounding that factor. The Siege Campaign. What is the decision the enemy is seeking? He, is now just about equal with the allies, perhaps just - a trifle superior, for he has secured his last and possibly his best recruitment during the past three weeks. The al- lies- are progressing more slowly, but will improve on the present rate very rapidly. The campaign has become a great siege, but there is a generally false impression of what constitutes a siege. It actually arises when one force constrains another to maneeuvr within a limited area. A siege doe not mean defeat, it does not mea starvation, but it can only end i three ways -first, relief of the be sieged; second, sorties which break the enemy ring; or third, capitulation and defeat. In this western siege we have a singular position, for at the outside the, allies were wholly inferior in we have studied berong also to -tins with joy.

The, woman who positively cannot wear black"because it makes her look as old as Methuselah" is having her own great troubles' these days. She visits a friend and finds black and white paper on the walls; she calls on another and shudders because the fur- niture is covered with, black and white cretonne. She rushesaway toward a Particularly jolly soul, and is given a cup of tea served in black and white china from a black and white tea. wagon! There are new mantles in wicker of black and white, candlesticks in the mournful color combination, and most astonishing of all, there are black rugs. Never mind, we are in style, too. Our kitchen range is black and the the kitchen sink is white. And the woman next door has a fine black and white cat! Shepherdess Bridesmaids. Lilies of the Valley and white lilacs combined are taking the place of the usual orange blossoms for bridal bo- quets. Wedding gowns are short and are trimmed with 'marines net and Spanish lace combined. The brides- maids wear shepherdess' frocks and carry crooks topped with bouquets of flowers tied with huge bows of wide satin ribbon. These bridesmaids' gowns vary in material, but the effect of all of them is much the same -plain narrow skirt, Daniel's, pointed bodice, square neck and short ruffled sleeves and a flat, flowered shepherdess hat. At one wedding of national importance -the attendants carried large leghorn,hats filled with marguerites and other old-fashioned flowers. The effect was very charming, as the hats were sus- f--■ pended from the arms by wide .rib- bons of yellow satin. Blouses of Canopy Patterns. The blouses which the summer girl will select for golf, tennis, boating and the like may be of plain linen of madras or may run to striped de- signs, of which the most popular are the broad canopy patterns or the candy striped effects. In fact, many of the blazer stripes are reproduced for shirtwaist models. SONG OF TUE COLONIES. James L. Hughes, Toronto. "We are sons in our mother's house„ 5 - We are master's in our own," And when mother shall need her sons She shall never stand alotie. We are partners with her for aye, We are bound by love sincere, And her faith in the right and true -We shall evermore revere. We shall prove that we're brave and strong, As her sons should ever be, When she calls us in honor's cause To fight for liberty. --.-_d• Rifles of the Armies. Each army now fighting in Europe uses a rifle different from, that used by each of the others. The Russians have the longest rifle, the French the longest bayonet, while the Aus- trians use the heaviest bullet. The rifles with the largest calibres are those of the French and the Aus- trians. The German rifle attains the greatest muzzle velocity. The Brit- ish have the shortest rifle, but with the bayonet added the weapon is longer than the rifle and bayonet of the Belgians and Austrians, A Horse Story. One of the British horses' is a candidate for the Victoria Cross, writes a lance -corporal at the front to his schoolmaster at Leicester. "It is a true story of animal devotion," he adds.
