Senator was a magnificent black - and -white pointer, whose great intel- ligence and long years of service had _greatly endeared him to his master - who was an officer in the army -and his mistress. They had no children, and lavished their great affection on him. Being full of years, and a great- ly privileged character, Senator had pre-empted a .rug before the grate fire as his sleeping' place, and always in the evening he was to be seen tak- ing his ease in that place. One evening there Was a card party at the house, and one of the tables happened to be placed over Senator's resting place, Senator did not like that, and after trying several places, none of which just suited him, he be- gan to yawn and stretch, and coming to the obstructing table, tried to push it out of the way. He was of course reproved by the lady of the house, and it was, evident that he was very unhappy. He wandered round discon- solately, quite upset because he could not get back to his favorite resting place. All at once he made up his mind; he ran over to a divan on which the offi- cers had thrown their caps; he seized one in 'his mouth, came over to' the officer sitting nearest the fireplace, and shoved the cap into the officer's lap, with a whine as much as to say, "Please go, I am past my sleepy tine!" It is unnecessary to add that his ap- peal was heeded, and that Senator at once got his place. REINS -RECORD'S NEW CUOMO RATES FORI 95 WEEKLIES.

British Shores in a Large Meastire'Dependd 1rpon A few weeks after the outbreak" of the war a middle-aged, weather-li'eat- en looking man„ with a pair of very clear blue eyes, mid clad in rather routh attire, presented himself at the Admiralty and asked` to see the eat - dal who was in control of the patrol office, says London"' Answers: Casual callers; do notreadily gain interviews with busy oificials at Gov- ernment offices in war time, but there was something about this particular caller -something that suggested his inflexible resolution to see the official. he had asked for and discuss_".real business" -that gained" him admission withbut little delay to the, room of the, official he wanted to see. "What do you want?" asked- the official, an old naval officer. "I am a yachtsman," was the reply. "I've a steam yacht, 500-tonner, twen ty-five knots. I hold a master's cer- tificate, and I have a crew that will follow me anywhere. The Iot is at your disposal, including the man you are talking to, if you want me." . Sentinels of the Sea. Half an hour later, the yaeht be- longing to this weather-beaten, rough- ly -clad volunteer was entered on the register of boats on patrol service, and its owner, a millionaire yachts- man, left the Admiralty a captain (unpaid) of a patrol boat in His Ma- jesty's Navy. This is- but one instance ' out of many that might be quoted of how the Admiralty found ships and men for their patrol service, which has per- formed such splendid work round our coasts -wort: full of risk and hazard -since September last. The patrol boats may be described as Naval sentinels. They are con- stantly watching the seas round our coasts, and it is no exaggeration to say that on their vigilance the safety of our shores in a large measure de- pends. The patrol boats are not fighting ships; a shell from the small- est warship afloat would seriously damage, if it did not sink, the largest of them. But many of them are tre- mendously fast; they are handled by men as dating as they are capable navigators, and when the history of the war comes to be written it will he found that among the officers and men who served on the patrol boats were many deserving of the highest honors of war. Many of the boats are captained by their owners, who put their yachts, themselves, and their crews at the dis- posal of the Admiralty. Other boats. are captained by retired admirals, captains too old for service in the Fleet, or by retired master mariners or masters in the Merchant Service. All are splendid seamen, as ready to face danger and death in defence of king and country as any officer or man in the Grand Fleet. Chased by Enemy Ships. There are now hundreds of boats in the patrol service, and ten months of constant work at sea have produced a fleet the efficiency and usefulness of which will probably never be properly known or understood except by those who are in control of the naval de- fence of our island. There are patrol men wisp have been chased by enemy ships, who have en- countered imminent risk of destruc- tion from mines, who have defied at- tack from submarines and aircraft. Escaping from such dangers, these sentinels of the seas are daily per- forming work as useful and as impor- tant and as essential to our safety as is the work of the outposts at the Front to the safety of the British Artny in France. Several of the fastest patrol boats have been employed as despatch boats, to carry despatches to and from our warships, and to different naval bases. This is work after the very heart of the men in the patrol service. Speed is the essential qualification of a boat employed on this service, and a high courage, great daring,, and fine seamanship the qualifications of its commander. There may be, say, one hundred miles of ocean to tra- verse between the point from which the despatch boat starts. and the ship it is to deliver its despatches to. Driving Ahead' in Darkness. The time it may be given to cover that hundred miles -the distance may be longer or shorter, of course -may be but four }tours. From the start it is a case of driving ahead at full speed, possibly in pitch darkness, and with all lights out. The discipline on board the patrol boats is as strict as it is on a battle- ship, though its officers and crew may, possibly consist of a dozen friends or so who are working it themselves. A. story was told to the writer re- cently of a patrol boat which before the war was a private yacht. When it was registered as a patrol boat its owner became its commander, and among the crew were four of - his most intimate friends, One of them was a youngfellow who had - often sailed with him on pleasure trips, and evho was specially keen about serving as one of the crew wlihn the boat went into the patrol service. "Mind," said the owner to him, "we are not going on a pleasure trip. We shall be on war service, and there will be as strict a discipline on the boat as if she were a warship. I shall be glad to take you on, but you will have, to obey orders." And the ,young fellow promisedto do so. The first night at Sea the order was given that there must be no lights -an order that was forgotten by the young' fellow in ques- tion, When he went to burn in at one o'clock for his four hours' sleep, he switched on the electric light in his cabin whilst lie undressed, Dismissed! Two minutes later he was summon- ed to .the presence of his ;friend, the commander of the boat. The. young fellow stood'between two of the crew at a table at which the commander • was seated in his cabin. I ;'You have disobeyed' orders," said the commander "and I' have sent for you to tell you that I shall land you to -morrow at -, where we are bound for, and that I 'shall not have you on board this boat again, The • "cominandef' kept his word, and °discharged 'his friend • .the next day., But the latter bore him no ill- will; he recognized the fact ,that he had corilmitted a grave violation , of discipline that on a battleship would have mantled severer punishment. The young fellow is now serving his3eoun- try, •not'at.sea, but as a sergeant in a regiment in which he enlisted •directly, after his dismissal from the patrol service. ETON COATS FASHIONABLE.

SLOW GRATITUDE. Took Forty Years to Erect a Monu. meat to Wellington. How slow we are as a nation in pay- ing our debts of gratitnde is shown in the case of Wellington, the centen- ary of whose final feat, the overthrow of Napoleon, has so lately been quiet- ly noticed. A sum of £S0,000 was voted for the funeral expenses of the I1'ou Dukp, of which :_60,000 was spent. With the remainder it was decided to erecta memorial in St. Paul's Cathedral, says London An- swers. Ttyo-thirds et this sum went in the six -years pursuit of a sculptor. Alfred Stevens was at last found, but not un- til forty years Had elapsed was the monument erected. However, to balance this, it may be said that the Schillos monument, sub- scribed as a memorial to Wellington by the women of Britain, was raised, thirty, years before his death. Clive is regarded as the conquerer o± India, the founder of British domin- ion there. That is, he gave India to. the British Empire. Yet St was only the other day that the only monument to him was unveiled. It stands in a green space in Whitehall. It was only a fete years ago that Bedford awoko to the fact that it con- tained no memorial to the Immortal Tinker, John Bunyan. Certainly, when the people did wake up to it, they erected a fine statue. But a couple of centuries is a long time to wait for a monument. London, a score of years ago, was entirely indifferent to the terrible fact that no statue of the Great Protector was to be found in all its square miles. The one between the Abbey and West- nlins'ter Hall makes reparation some- svhat, for ,it is one of the best in Eng- land. l' FISH AND THE. WAR. The North Sea Will Be Richer Fishing Ground Than Ever. The great war will incfease the sup- ply of fish in the North Sea. In re- cent years the decreased catch in th,e fishing grounds of northwestern Eu- rope has caused much concern. Th great number of fishing vessels and the widespread use of the steam trawler have so injured the fisheries that the fishermen have been compel- led to go farther and farther afield to make a profitable haul. Now that this of salt water is virtually closed to peaceful pursuits, the fish have a chance' to multiply undisturb- ed. That they -are doing so is already evident, The herring run has been of unprecedented size. It was left vir- tually unmolested, and so will the mackerel run.' be in its turn. ' Un- doubtedly the ground fish, such as the plaice .and the sole, will also profit through the idleness of the fishermen. Should the war be long, so that the North Sea is a prohibited area foa'. two or three seasons, the fish wild', doubtless be restored to their usual numbers -indeed, some people believe' that at the enol of the war the North Sea will be an even richer fishing, ground than it ever Was before. Boycott German Goods. The ontire membership of the house, of Representatives of the Federal, Parliament, the legislative body of the Commonwealth of'Australia, has pledged itself never again to pur- chase German: goods.

It was the sound of a shod footfa that had frozen it, and the next i stant sent it sliding behind a wall whence it -or he, rather -glared frost between a smother of weeds at ter man, who stumbled and cursed hi course along, dripping blood by th way. A dog, as wild as the cat, shot, snarling, from some foul thing it had been at business with across the road, and the cat streaked to the wall. But it was too late. The dog launched at him with almost a roar, She was starving, that dog. It was a matter of ten yards for the eat, of many more for the dog,.but she fairly ate up the distance. When the cat jumped he could feel the breath from the slavering mouth on his back, Followed a wild and furious scrap- ing, a little cloud of dust, and clown came that cat again, right on to the foe. For once he had missed his jump, and there, was no time for a second, Possibly that cat touched the ground, but he rebounded again, like a great rubber ball, all hair sticking out, and even as the dog's jaws shut - snap! --on the place where he should have been, he landed upon the dog's back. Seeking Human Aid. His ride on that strange steed was brief and grisly, because the dog roll- ed, foaming with fury, and the cat bolted, blindly spitting, and, instinc tively, to the man. In that supreme moment that beast, which had been wild in a blackened, stricken land for twelve months, went to the man. It was a close shave, and nothing on earth could' have saved puss except one thing -and it came. True to a hair, the heavy, nailed boot of the man landed just abaft the canine's shoulder dropping the brute as if she had been pole -axed -a clean kick over the heart. And in the same instant the cat leapt for the man's back, and the man laughed. The laugh echoed hollowly up the shell -pitted, deserted street. Then the man's hand slid up to the cat stroking him, and he purred. And then, very quietly, almost thoughtfully, the man slid to the ground and was still. Ho had fainted from loss of blood and from starva- tion. It was very still in that desolate street. The moon threw squat sha- dows of the houses athwart the road, and made a little inky blot of a single gigantic rat, his wicked little eyes shining like gimlet -holes in a green lampshade, squatting, hunched, in the middle of the road.' Saved by the Cat. These things the man saw as he re- gained consciousness, and he could hear other rats i1 the inky pools of black where the open doors of the houses gaped. He shuddered, and wondered dimly how long it would be before they got him. And then, suddenly, as if a hand had come down and wiped them 'out, they were gone -utterly! The man lifted his head, listening, and in the silence that followed he dis- tinctly heard a deep and comforting purring at his elbow. Very slowly he turned, very slowly put out his hand, stroked, and started. He hac-touched feathers as well as fur! It was the cat, come bade, and with a dead fowl between his jaws. And that is how a "missing" got strength to regain his regiment, and if ever in your- career you come across a regiment with a tabby -and - white cat as its mascot, just bow down to that cat and respect it.

A despatch from London says: The counter -offensive movement launched by the Russians under General Ivanoff against the Austro -Germans in Vol- hynia and Galicia has assumed impor- tant proportions, General Ivanoff has-been so successful that the Ger- man Field Marshal, von Mackensen, who is fighting north of the Pripet marshes eastward of Brest -Litovsk, according to the German official re- port, has been compelled to withdraw his line somewhat, as it was in dan- ger of being encircled; while the Aus- trians have been driven back across the Styr, and have been compelled to surrender the fortress of Lutsk, in the Volhynian triangle of fortresses which they ,captured during the great drive. These successes, which extend to the Roumanian frontier, in the opin- ion of military observers, would serve' to ease the situation on the Rouman• ian flank should Roumania join Rus• sia, and in addition might well pre vent the Austro -Germans from send- ing an army, which it is estimated must consist of at least a half million men, to make' an attack on Serbia. In the centre the Russians are still falling back, while in the north Field Marshal von Hindenburg continues to make progress with his offensive against Dvinsk, although at a much slower rate than formerly, as the Rus- sians are stiffening their resistance. East of Vilna the Germans admit a temporary check, during which they lost guns to the Russians. Vilieka, the position seized by von Hindenburg in his effort to encircle the Russian army retreating from Vilna, again is in the hands of the Russians, having been recaptured by a bayonet charge. The number of German guns captured, according to the Russian official report, includes four howitzers as well as nine ammu- nition wagons. The captured guns were manned by the Russians and put to flight a German armored car. 4,000 Taken at Lutsk. "The battle north of Lutsk was a great success for the Russians, who took 4,000 prisoners, and recaptured the town of Lutsk," says Reuter's Petrograd correspondent, The correspondent of the Morning Post says in a despatch to his paper: "In quarters that know, and indeed, in rather wider circles, strong opti- mism during the nest couple of clays has been spreading rapidly. The offi- cial bulletins of the progress of the war are not sufficient to account for this feeling. The certain sueeessful withdrawal from Vilna liar straight- ened the Russian front, and in every way strengthened their powers." a. CANADA'S GRAIN CROP. Prospect of n Prosperous Year for the Dominion. If the circulation of money is the fundamental factor in material pros- perity this should be a great year for Canada. The war has its depressing influ- ences on some lines of trade, but there are factors which greatly counteract it. The other day an official crop bul- letin placed the grain crop at about three hundred and twenty-five million bushels. This should put probably three hundred million dollars in,cil'- culation, Apart from the grain crops, other' agricultural products will add at least another hundred million at a conservative estimate. Government expenditures on army contracts equipment will be- around sixty or seventy million, while the allied Government orders for shells and ammunition are already over a hundred and fifty millions, with pros- pects of material expansion, in addi- tion to which probably forty or fifty millions of other orders for equipment have been placed by the allied Govern- ments.. With quick and expeditious. transportation assured for the grain crop, prices are ruling .fairly high, and there is general activity in indus- trial lines. The fundamentals of pros- perity seem of the soundest character, and the coining winter should be cle- eidedly easier in its problems than last year, saaawatseetewaseuesr Many women with disfigured complexions never seem to think that they need an occasional cleansing inside as well as outside.
