One of the few notable Englishmen, who can talk Russian is Sir Arthur Nicolson, the Permanent Foreign Under-secretary. He learnt the lan- guage in the five yeare he was at St. Petersburg.. The pain for repartee among Bri- tish M.P.'s surely tbelongs to Mr. Tim Healy. This was,well liluetrated when he murmured to the elector who said he would rather vote for the devil than for him: "Ah, yes, but perhaps your friend won't turn up!" Mr, Asquith, the British Premier, is ageing rapidly under the stress of the enormous responsibilities the war has thrown on his' shoulders. There ' was a time when he did not seem his In Addition to Showing Position ,of Unprecedented Strength, Bank has Made Increase in Net Profits over Previous Year—Large Increases in Deposits and Total Loans. The Annual Statement of the Royal Bank of Canada will likely prove one of the pleasant surprises at the end of a peculiar banking year. In pram- tieally every respect it is the best report ever issued by the Royal. A position of even exceptional strength was ,to be expected, but it is doubtful whe'efer anyone had anticipated :that uneer the unprecedented conditions of the past year it would be possible to even make ea gain in net profits. Such a showing, in times like these, •th little short of remarkable and must be: accepted as an indication of the strong organization and valuable con- nections which the Royal Banls has steadily built up throughout the world. Of particular interest in this regard is the satiefactory development of the important " connections which the Bank possesses in Cuba- and the West Indies. Increases In AU Departments. ' In the aggregate the Bank shows gains in every important department, and while it has shown an increase in profits over the previous year, it has, at the same time, established new re- cords in the percentages of both liquid assets and cash as well as . in total deposits and total eueeent loans. In face of such remarkable gains ;one naturally looks for some special 'reason for the growth of the Royal's business, and this results in one most immediately hazarding the opin- ion that the Bank is now beginning to enjoy the full benefits of the amal- gamations .it has effected during the past few years. Large savings must gradually have been made and the whole organization steadily rounded out in a way that permitted of the employment of a very large percent- age of the Bank's funds even under less active trade conditions. Profit and Loss Statement. . The profits for the fiscal year end- ing November 30th, 1915, were $1,905,576.57, equal to 16.48% on the capital, compared with 01,886,142.67, or '16.31% in the previous yeav. As the amount aethe credit of profit and loss at the end of the previous year totalled $614,062.25, this, with the profits for the current year, brought the total amount available for distri- bution up to $2,519,638.82. Of this amount dividends took $1,387,200, $100,000 was transferred to officers' pension fund, $250,000 written off Bank premises account, $105,966 ap- plied as war tax on the Bank's note cireulation, leaving the amount to .be carried forward to Pio& and loss at the end. of the year $676,472.16. Features of Strength. In the statement of assets and lia- bilities almost every account seems to contribute something to the general strength- of the 'whole exhibit. Of more particular interest are the etrik- ing gains made in liquid assets, de.. posits, total call and etnee.nt loans. end, in consequence, In the total as- sets of the Bank. The assets reached a n nv high level at $198,299,123, compared with $179,- 404,054 at the end of the previoes. year, a gain of practically 20,000,- 000. Of the total amount liquid as- sets reached a record level by touch., ing. $84,894,462, equivalent to 49.03% of liabilities to the public, against $71,244,677 or 46.06% last year. In- cluded in the liquid assets were actual cash holdings of $81,923,680, equal to 18.48% of liabilities to the public, up from $27,683,855 or 17.90% in 1914. The deposit in the central gold reserve was increased by a million, bringing it up to $3,000,000. An indication of the Royal's steady expansion is afforded by the growth in deposits, which amounted to over $18,000,000 in the year, the deposits not bearing interest having increased to $37,456,997 from 01,224,129, and deposits bearing interest to 0.7,519,- 830 from $164,827,078, making a to- ta of $154,976,327, against. $136,051,- 208. As indicated by the increase in earning power, there were substan- tial gains in ;total call and, current loans, the call loans both in and out- ` side of Canada having advanced to $18,951,000, against $14,054,000, and total current loans in and outside of Canada $106,551,000, against $99,587,- 000, an increase of close to $7,000,000. Looked upon as one of the younger" of the bigger Banks, the Royal has certainly made phenomenal strides, and its ability to exhibit such a state- ment under the conditions that pre- vailed during the past year augur well for its further growth add ex- • elision once conditians the coun- try become More 'nermal.

Who is the most picturesque -look- ing man in the House to -day? Prob- ably Mr. Yeo, with his white mous- tachios, his ruddy complexion, hie great expanse of watch -chain, and his badge of all the Allies' flags. Also he is the user of the most picturesque language. To hear him on shirkers is quite a revelation on the elasticity of the English language. • It is true to say that rarelyhas there been a British general who has inspired more regard amongst his staff than Sir John French, and the reason is to be found not merely in the recognition of his able leadership, but in the generotity of spirit which prompts him to acknowledge in the most appreciative terms the work of his subordinates. The man who is most making his mark in the labor world to -day is Mr. J. II. Thomas, M.P., the English rail- waymen's organizer. He is fearless and courageous. He does not hesitate to tell the railwaymen when he thinlcs they are wrong, as he did on the occa- sion of the Great Western Railway strike, and when he thinks they are right he is an overwhelming advocate of their claims. His policy to -day is that strikes in war -time are criminal. Nothing. is more delightful than a chat with Dr. Macnamara, the British Parliamentaty Secretary to the Ad- miralty, who has a fund of good stor- ies. 011CO he received the following invitation from a country clergyman: "If you like a day with the hounds I call mount you; we have a capital bil- liard -table at the vicarage; I am a good judge of whiskey, and I smoke like a furnace!" Dr. Mac. has a fine collection of curios, includiag an old- time pipe -case which his father used in the trenches before Sebastopol, and the medal Ter his work in Canada, which the old man received thirty - throe years after it had been earnad. One of the most interesting places in London at about five o'clock is the "Rag," otherwise the Army and Navy Club, the prethier Service club. A friend of mine, home on forty-eight hours' leave froin the Front, took me in there the other afternoon, says a writer in London Answers. The smoking -room was crammed with officers in both Services, most of them, like my friend, home for two days, some for twenty-four hours. A gra-ire-faced, but quite youthful -look- ing staff -officer near Inc was talking to • a brigadier -general about tactic's in language appallingly technical. A V.C. sat at an adjacent table, and was enjoying tea and toast with an ad- miral, and in one of the chairs near the window reposed a Dardanelles hero minus an arm and leg. Every- where about the great roam was the buzz of talk, real live war talk, among men who for over a year have well-nigh lived in the valley of the shadow of death, *14 e A Useful Head. A. man has in his employ a faithful but at times stupid servant in the person of an old darky named Zeke. Recently, when the employer had vainly endeavored to get something done in it certain way, he gave up in despair, exclaiming. "Zeke! Zeke! Whatever do you think your head is for?" Zeke who evidently thought that this was another of the troublesome questions that his employer was al- ways asking, pondered deeply.

Only themselvee know how they are distressed by backachee and headaches, dragging down pains and .nervous Weakness; how their nights are often' sleepless, and they arise to a new day's Work, tired, depressed and quite ume les - ed. Such women should know that their. sufferings' arc.. usually due - to lack of good nourishing blood. They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give them nev'i health and streueeth is rich, red blood, and that among all medicines there -is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their . blood -making, health -restoring qualities. Every suf- fering woman, 'every woman with- a home and family to care for should I give these Pills a fair trial, 'for 'they' will keep her in health and strength and make her work easy. Mrs.' G. Strasser, Acton West, Ont., says: "I am the mother of three children, and after each birth I became terribly run down; I had weak, thin blood, al- ways felt tired, and unable to do my household \fork. After the birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very badly inn down. I was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found the greatest benefit from the Pills, and soon gained my old-time strength. Indeed, after tak- ing them I felt as well as in my girl- hood, and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tab- lets for my little ones, andehave found them a splendid medicine for child- hood ailments."

War's Injuries Alleviated by Clever Counterfeits. No industry, coneidered relatively to its importance, seems likely to pro- fit more by the war than the mann- facture of false arm; and legs. One American concern is said to have al- ready received cadets from the British and French Governments for $15,000,- 000 worth of artificial limbs. The normal producing capacity of this es- tablishment is 250 legs a month, but its output is expected soon to be mul- tiplied by five. Another American manufacturer, who has a factory in France has just returned to this country to secure additional machinery and workmen. To obtain the latter is not easy, for false logs and arms, especially the foie -nor, are complex pieces of mech- anism, ancl to construct thein properly requires much practice and long train- ing. The cork leg is familiar in works of fiction. In real life such a thing is not, and never has been, cork being just about the most unsuitable ma- terial for the purpose that could be imagined. Artificial limbs are made of basswood or willow, supplemented to some extent with leather. - The lumber for them is carefully selected, and the first step in the mak- ing of a false leg is to mit from the raw material a block eight inches square and of the requisite length. Through it a hole is bored lengthwise with a large anger, and then the block is put aside 111 a dry place and allow- ed to season. It ought to season for three years. It is then Carved in imi- tation of a real leg, sandpapered to smoothness, hollowed out so as to con- vert it into a Mere shell, and rendered waterproof by et coating of a- special kind of varnish. It may be covered with kid, but methods of manufacture very. Tho leg is Made hollow for the sake of lightness, and also tolprotTide 1:00171 for the introduction of a Wong spiral spring and other elements of the Me- chanism that is to render the limb a useful ansi comfortable counterfeit of a real one. An 'artificial leg of up-to- date patterll is an ingenions piece of apparatus, and' there is many a man to -day Who wears ono without betray ing the faet to the casual observer. Of course, if the natural limb has been cut off high up, the artificial one must be in two parts, connected by a kneejoint If one must loge a -portion of ones ambulatory machinery the most desirable place for the amputa- tion is between the knee and the an- kle. Under such circumstances a false mainber may enable one to walk with- out limping, or one may evea tango satisfactorily, but loss Of part of the :Coot 017 of the wholefoot at the ankle joint means that one must go halting theorig,h life. - The foot of the artificial -leg is in itself an exceedingly clever counter- feit. •Ito Core is part of the same Mece of wood that makes the body of the leg. Enveloping this core 10 vub- ber, vulcanized on in 0, series of thin layers, the result being to give the foot a lively springiness, rend-ering comfoetable for walking and helping to give the Weer`er 21 natural gait. Ali artificial ailn is of similar con- stmmtion, With a wooden core for the hand, which is of vulcanized rtnkei. But as a substitute for the natural limb it is a peer thing' compared to, a fahe leg. The hand is useless for purposes of maniptilation and has to be kept Revered with a glove. Wiree extend through the lingers, so that - the latter may be bent into any dei - sired position.

They Are Almost Governed by tury Regulations. ' In these days of general interest in things military, it is interesting to know that certain animals are gov- erned by what appear to be almost military regulations. Among animals only thegregarious, of course, show qualities of leadership and discipline. Wild horses obey thole leader more implicitly than; any soldiers however well disciplined. Mustangs are wary, difficult to approach, and 'almost im- possible to capture, owing, to the de- votion with which they follow their. leader and to a 'code of signals that they never disregard. ,A short, shrill neigh is the porn- mand to flee; a long -drawn, far -carry- ing neigh is the rallying call when the herd is scattered;' a squeal orders the stallions to stand ready to fight off dangerous beasts; and a wild snort in- dicates the sight or scent of man. The snortof a mustang can be heard half a mile or More. Certain movements are else himor- tent as signals. At the first hint of danger, the horSe .that detects it throws his head mid tail high in the air, stands motionless, and gazes fix- edly in the direction from which he antieipates trouble.. Usually that is enough to put the entire herd on the alert. Should tho. enemy prove to "be bears, wolves; or any foe against which the drove' can defend itself, the "signal horse" dashes forward, pranc- ing from side to side, rearing, and striking the ground. Should their' most dreaded enemy, man, be ap- proaching, the horse will circle far in towayd the main body, and as he turns foy one last rook he win snort out a trumpet -like blast, Then with a rush, a roar, and a clatter of hoofs, the entire herd is gone—the leader in fret% the stallions in the rear, 'the colts in the middle. • Even old, well-trained work horses when turned out tepasture will genet orally select a leader and be governed by him: The herd commander may be an old and gentle mare or the wild- est and wariest horse of the, drove. In the latter case the heixl often be- comes almost as difficult to handle as, so many wild horses, whereas the old mare Will keep her drove in the most tractable conditions. The peccaries of Mexico have a battle cry that is never disobeyed—a short, vicious squeal, quickly repeat- ed, and kept up without ceasing. That noise drives the little beasts feantic; all within hearing rush to get into the fray, and nothing short of death stops their charge. If the hunter does not shoot his peccary so dead that it cannot emit a single dying squeal, his only safety lies in instant flight. The peccary has also a note that sounds the retreat. It is a grupt some- thing like the "woof! woof! woof!" of a bear as he dashes away from clan- ger. An American guide.whe lives in Sonora, in Mexico, COD emitate that note, and says that he can stampede a gang of the brutes at will with it. The baboons of Africa probably have the best military regulations of lany of the animals. While they are feeding in a dangerous place, they set sentries on every side -.--big wise, vet- eran baboons that sit perfectly quiet and keep a vigilant watch. At a sharp barle of warning from one of these outposts, every ape ceases his occupa- tion; even the babies hush. their cries 011 the instant. At another bark, all may resume work or play; or, again, the second note may carry a different message; then the leader gives an order, and all retreat rapidly to the denser -parts of the forest. When travelling, these creatures have both a front and a rear guard. A half dozen powerful apes scout well in front of the main body, DOW in- specting the woods from the ground, now climbing to the tops of the tall- est trees. If the traveller comes on a tribe of baboons, he usually sees only one of the scouts, which bares his teeth savagely, barks once, and is goee. Farther away, the hunter' may observe the whipping of branches, as the Test of the tribe retreat so rapid- ly that no man COD overtake them. Should the observer happen upon the rear guard, lie will observe that they behave differently from the scouts. Not silent or cautious, they constantly give quick, sharp commands, now angrily chiding some lagging young- eter, or giving another a slap and a bite. As far as we know, the baboons are the only apes or other animals that Post a sentry at night.- Commonly, they sleep in caves among the cliffs, and when all have retired to vest, you may be sure that one of thole number will be wide awake, sitting on some exposed rock or other point of van- tage from which he can eee in every direction. Not even the leopard, the most determined foe of the baboon, dares to attack them at night unless he can surprise and kill the sentry. When attacked, they will fight in de - :Cense of their families until the last "man" is dead. Explained.

In Northern France, at least, winter win find the rival armies well prepared to receive it. The wet mud, -the ice-cold water knee-deep in the communication trenches, the 'ooze and discomfort of the dugouts, will he the exception.ra- thee thtin the rule this year. The, shel- ters, even in the advance trenches, will generally be fairly livable, thanks to the plentiful use of concrete and tar and the -skilful employment of .drainage. Moreover, the armies will be pro- perly'elad and amply fed. The Bri- tish soldiers will again dou their sheepskins, sunifiementeci by ample supplies of warin caps socks , and heavy boots of rather better type than last year's. Many of the- trenches now have brick floors, and virtually all are drained and protected against land- slide by timbers. The great problem of the ivinter will be the billeting of all the new divisions which have come out since last year. In the villages well be- hind the firing lines, every outbuilding and old barn has been requisitioned, cleaned,. repaired and made into shel- ter against 'she wind and cold. But nearer the firing lines most of the buildings have been smashed into ruins, and although they were usable for heusing purposes during the sum- fner, they are plainly impossible after mid-November. The problem is being dealt with to some etxent by the building of portable hMases and huts, but the armies grow too fast for the carpenters. The work of the aeroplane observ- ers gets more difficult as winter ap- proaches. The fogs of the late au- tumn cling to the ground in little patches well into the day, while the evening mists make observations diffi- cult soon after mid-afternoon. FRESH AIR, AND THEN SOME. Breathe Loth ofTCAll You Can, by Day or Night. Breathe all the fresh air you cen get, night and day. That's what fresh air is for. The fearsome legend about the baleful influence of "night air" is only another of the cardfully nursed insanitary bequests from our ancestors, according to Senior Sur- geon Banks Of the United States Pub - lie Health Service. When this superstition arose may only be surmised. Peehaps it is a survival of the primeval cult of sun worship, which led the ancients, to fear anything outside the sphere of solar influence. Our forbears were wont to catition their offspring to "be careful about the night air," or chil- dren were ordered to "come in out of the night air." This idea is generally prevalent, and even one of our well-known flowers is loaded down with the hor- rible name of "Deadly Nightshade" as a sort of verbal relic of this old no- tion. The low-lying mist or fog that sometimes gathers about the surface of the earth under certain atmos- pheric conditions, after sunset, was held—is held—to be "miasmatic" and pregnant with lethal possibilities. The night stir, minus the sun, is no different from the atmosphere of a sunless day. The atmosphereic en- velope of the .earth does not change :from benign to malign in the twink- ling of an eye after sundown. A story, from the trenches in France is that is soldier wrote home to his wife to tepee her windows at night, as he had -found that the night ir "didn't hurt one bit." That is the experience of all the advocates of this sensible custom—once tried the old Mistorn of sealing oneself in an tight bedrooln is never renewed.

GHOSTS ON ALLIES' SIDE So Says French Writer, Quieting Cer- ium!. Prophecies. "Even the ghosts have pronounced Germany's doom," writes "Le Masque de Fer," who goes on to say that a collection of German spiritualistic prophecies has been found bn France. One collection, published in Leipzig in 191.4,11as a- title the trenslation which is: "The Universal War in Pro- phecy: Historical and Critical Studies of All the Predicitons.liagerding the Univereal Wale mid the Fame of 'the German People."

FAMOUS STAINED GLASS. , Church -Window Removed to Save It From Bombs. The east window of St. Margaiet's Church, djoining 'Westminster Ab- bey, which has been called the finest specimen of stained glass work in London, is being removed to' a place of safety, in view of the recent Zeppe- lin raids. • The window was made at Gouda, Holland, and was presented by the magistrates of Dort to King Henry VIII. for the chapel of Whitehall Pal- ace. The King, however, gave it to Waltham Abbey. The glass, of which the blues and'greensare remarkably strilcing, suffered sundry removals and vicissitudes, and at one time was buried to escape the zeal of the Puri- tans. Eventually it was purchased by the wardens of St. Margaret's for $2,000. It is now valued at 20 times that sum.
