Medical Corps, His lordship greatly distinguished himself in many directions. He is a trustee of the National Portrait Gee lery,, having inherited from his father that love of pictures which has made him the moving spirit of the National Art Collectors' Fund. One of his lord, ship's notable characteristics is his rapid walk. No one enjoyed the joke more than Lord Crawford himself ;,then, after he had warned the government for weelee about the da.tger of German spies ou the East Cost and the inadequate pre, cautions u Mini had been taken to guard against them be itimseef one night was tarried out of his louse by , a military rural, who "o: cnlarty scow, ed that there was a light burning in one of the top roQnas of hie house, which commended an extremely wide :view over oth chores of the Firth of Forth." Perhaps one of the best stories told of Lord Crawford is that concerning a theory he once held that pickpockets always manoeuvred from the opposite side to .that of the pocket it was in. tended to "pick," But a friend, walk. ling with hirn one day in the East -end, showed him that his contention was {wrong. He slyly inserted his hand in. to his lordship's pocket on the same aide as he was walking -the right, But Lord Crawford felt the intrusion, and, promptly turning to the man whe happened to be on the lett, he punch, ed him in the chest, with the exciamie tion, "Ah! would you?" A fight was averted only by the confession of the offender and the placid temper of the rather large person who had bawl in. suited. The Roumanian Language Roumanian (or Wallachian) is one of the Romance languages -the gener al name for those modern languages that are the immediate descendants of the languages of ancient Rome. The language differs slightly in different parts of the country, like the north and oath of England. ITLAY'S SOLDIERS WEAR" Italy has some of the most efficient and most picturesque soldiers in the world. They are divided into four classes; the leersaglieri, the Alpini, the aarabinieri,, and the cavalry.' The Bersaglieri are light infantry of great mobility. They are always seen on the run, and their picturesque cos- tume, with low -crowned plumed hat, is a feature of almost every Italian landscape. The Alpini are specially trained to manoeuvre among thenorthern moun- tains, and' their target practice 'con- sists in sharpshooting acmes the vast open spaces, Where the atmospheric conditions would confuse the soldier of the lowlands. As to the cavalry, experts have said that that of Italy is the finest in the world. Besides these unique corps, there are the famous Carabinleri or nation- al pollee, who are recruited from the the missile fell on to the railway,.

Besides these exterior works, the Tyrol, which juts out like a bastion into the Lombardo -Venetian plain, has a group of forts at Riva, another at Franzensfeste, to protect 1 the railroad junction, and, finally, an immensely strong fortress at Trent, which may be described as the keep of the Tyrol, and is surrounded by a girdle of batteries and armored forts. for the past seven years; also have had GARROS' LAST FLIGHT constipation, causing headache, back- ache and dizzy spells, and I'would almost fall down, I tried all kinds of 'remedies without obtaining any relief.

Her pro- motion from the ranks was a reward of special services. During one of the battles In the Suwalki Government, the detachment to which she belonged was surrounded by superior numbers and captured. From certain remarks which the Germans let fall, and from the way in which they looked at her, It was evident they had guessed the secret of her sex. Perhaps this was the reason that, when the other prisoners were divested of their pro- perty, she '+vas allowed to retain her watch and compass. The prisoners were locked up in a church, outside which a sentry patrolled. During the evening the party was visited by several German officers, who seemed to take a lively interest in Alexandra, and laughed a good deal among themselves. When' all was quiet the prisoners broke a window and clambered out, and Alexandra felled the sentry with a stone. The refugees succeeded in recovering their horses, and picked up one or two stragglers, who increased their num- ber to seven. This force attacked a German patrol of 18 Uhlans, and cap• tutreed them ill .- __ _ _.- 1 Famous Airman was Trying to Bomb a Railway Train and had Mishap HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?

Of course, the workers take every pos- sible precaution, such as, for instance, working with goggles on their eyes, and bulky muzzles over their ,mouths made of twenty thicknesses of flannel, but despite everything accidents fre- quently happen. Nevertheless, constant familiarity with this particular danger breeds a oer•tain amount of contempt for it, as for most others, and the regular alkali workers often speak slightiugly, and even jestingly, of "Roger." They even make use of him for their own ends upon occasion. For instance, the fac- tory yardsare sometimes infested by stray, prowling cats, who steal the men's dinners. A favorite dodge is to decoy pussy to where the green fog is, when, of course, that cat becomes a dead oat without more ado. Another incident that shows the deadly power of chlorine occurred in Widnes some time back. A hawker from a distance came with a donkey cart, and drew up in a yard attached to gome chemical works where bleach. Ing powder was being made. Sudden- ly there rose the familiar cry of "Rog- er is coming!" followed by the usual rush for safety on the part o1 the workers. Only the hawker, ignorant of the terrile danger, stood gazing open-mouthed at the flying figures, and wondering what all the commotion was aout. And he would have been caught by the green gas, 'without doubt, had not a burly workman paus- ed for a moment to pick him up in his arms and bear him, kicking and struggling, to safety. He did not even get a taste of the chlorine, but when he returned a few minutes later he found his d.nkey stone -dead -poison- ed by "Roger," A VERSATILE LABORITE rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson Worked Hard to Win High Position The Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, M,P., whose knowledge of labor ques- tions gained from a place in the coali- tion government, has had a romantic career. He was born in Glasgow in 1863 and started life as an iron - moulder in a Newcastle factory. His schooling was but scanty, and he was obliged to educate himself in his spare time. His ability and perseverance soon made an impression on his fel- low workers, and after many years' work as a Trade Unionist leader he entered Parliament as labor member for the Barnard Castle division of Dur- ham in 1903. He is now Chairman of the Labor party, and is a Privy Councillor, a Wesleyan and a popular tag Preacher.

July 10th, 1915 A WiTTY BELGIAN i When the Germans finally entered Belgium a native of Liege made him- self obnoxious to one troop by his con- stant loud talk about the brave de- fence. Finally the commander sum- moned him. "Now, you've boasted about enough," he said, "We can't listen to you any longer. I'm going to give you your choice: you will be shot or will swear allegiance to the German Emperor." Considerably subdued, the offender wondered. "Well," he decided, "I don't want to die, so I guess I'll, swear allegiance." "All right," said the commander, are one of us.
