"It's Water We Want" To protest against.a shortage in the 'water Supply many of the inhabitants of the colliery village of Aber, near Cardiff, organized a parade. In the procession was carried a banner with the wards, "it's water we want; no „water, no rent." Ferccloes Dogs A strange example of canine ferocity was furnished' at Girvan, Scotland, when a lad named George Love, son of Captain James Love, Grangemouth, was attacked by four dogs on Girvan shore and badly lacerated. They were beaten off with considerable difficulty. Cleaning Public Statues The Corporation of London voted $200 to be spent on cleaning and renovating the statues within the area of 'its jurisdiction. They are the statues of the Pi'ince Coi,sort in 1-Tol• born, King William IV, in King Wil- Iiam street, and Sir Rowland Ilill at the Roy -al Exchange.

Girl Keeps Bull at Eay When a laborer on a farm near Fermoy, Ireland, vas knocked down by- a bull, which began to maul him; Miss Jennie Watson, a girl of eleven, attacked the animal with a shovel handle, and by beating it on the fore- head kept it at bay until the man got to his feet, when both escaped through a gate, Duke's Inn A. statement regarding the owner- ship of, the Perry Inn, which is claimed by the Duke of Argyll, was submitted to the Inverary Town Council. It was resolved to offer to hand over the Ferry Inn at once to the Duke of Argyll, along with the ferry rights, provided his grace undertook to keep an efficient ferry service between In- verary and St. Catherine's. The Golden Well A meeting of "pilgrims" resorting to St. Wineiride's Well was held at Holywell, Wales, and passed a reso- lution protesting againet the proposed mining drainage works which, it is said, will diminish the flow of water to the well, which is credited with :miraculous cures, St. Winefrid.e's Well, said Mr, M'Kean, M.P., was the • • .greatest asset England and Wales had. It was "a gold mine," and it would "be a mistake to sacrifice an actual gold mine for a problematical lead .mine. .A Royal Precedent It is probable that the Prince of 'Wales is the first actual Heir -Apparent to serve with a volunteer force under •canvas as a private. The only similar case is that of the Duke of Clarence at the beginning of the nineteenth century. At the time of the Napoleon scare the Duke joined the Tedding- ton volunteers, and carried a musket 4n the ranks. But he was, not then heir to the throne which he occupied eventually as William IV. Gymnastic Burglar Captured A gymnastic burglar was captured by the Glasgow police on four charges of breaking into shops andwarehouses. A remarkable feature of all these, bur- glaries was that the burglar entered the premises through the window or roof after having climbed a pipe. In one case it is known that he must have climbed a pipe to the sixth storey. Girls Fight About Sweethearts Mary Meldrum and Barabara Flem- ing, young girls employed in the woodyard at Bo'ness, were charged With engaging in a stand-up, fight in North street. They had each other by the hair, and their extraordinary attracted -a bigcrowd. The conduct fecal said they fell out about sweet- hearts. "Shake hands and go away," paid the magistrate. They did. Comedy of Bogus Commissioner The story of how a well-dressed man' duped a countryside ,:by playing 'the rale of Land' Commissioner was told at : Galway, Ireland, when Thomas Parker was sentenced to nine months' limprisomnent for obtaining food and aad'ging by false pretences. John 'Keating , a farmer, said that the ac- jcused called at his house, and said he Rvaa a Land . Commissioner, and that die had come down to divide Earls- gpark, 'He said he would not give' the av fitness more than six acres. The ac - :loused remained all night, and had his supper and breakfast. The Witness, went, round with the prisoner on the Toliowing day to mark out his 'hold- ' dugs. Others had - similarly enter - 'tallied the prisoner.

This is further , proof of its swpeiuority. Mr. G. W. Pyatt, of 15 South - view Avenue, Toronto, Superint- sodent of the -Riverdale Division of the St. Johan' Ambulamee I3ri Bade, writes. Both in personal use and in first-aid work I have prow ed Zam-Buk to bel (of great value I have used it for the past five years, and do not believe (there is any other balm to come up to it, Mr. LGeo. H. Westmore, of 127 Yange Street, Toronto, Divisional Superintendent of the St. John Ambulance Brigade, also writes, "I am pleased to report that the member of this Brigade use Zam- Buk when on public duty, and fiind it vary useful. Itis a wonder' ful healer. Personally, I'cons•tant- ly-use Zam-Buk in my calling as. a chitopodist, and find it very helpful in healing sore feet, and as a 'caressing for corns and bunions after treatment and extrnetion."

Refuse harmful subati- utes and imitations. There is no- thing "Just as good," AN ARCTIC DELICACY. Eskimo Soup Would Hardly Tickle Re- fined! Palates. Kane and Dr. Hayes, the first white men—apart from an occasional whaler —to visit the Eskimos, found some dif- ficulta in accommodating themselves to local,customs. In "The Toll of the Arctic Seas" D. 11'I. Edwards quotes Hayes' account of his first visit to a native hut. After a cordial welcome he was pressed to eat. "This," says Hayes, "was an invita- tion which I feared, but now that it had come I knew that it would be un- wise to decline it. The expression of thanks was one of the few in their. language that I knew, and I made the most of this. They laughed heartily when I said koyenak in reply to their Invitation, and immediately a not very beautiful young damsel poured some of the contents of the pots into a skin dish, and, after sipping it to make sure, as I supposed, that it was, not too hot, passed it to me over a group of heads. At first my courage forsook me, but all eyes were fixed upon me, and it would have been highly.impo- lite to shrink. .I therefore shut my eyes, held my nose, swallowed the dose and retired. I was told after- ward that it was their greatest delica- cy—a soup mads by boiling together blood, oil and seal intestines." "Three Sheets In the Wind." "What was the origin of the phrase for drunkenness, 'three sbeets in the wind 5' " a landsman asked a sailor the other day. "Well," said the sailor, "I'll explain tbet matter to you. The two lower corners of a ship's sail are held taut by two ropes, one called a tack and another called a sheet. The tack is always kept very tight, but the sheet is loosened according to the wind, and the looser the sheet is the more freely tbe sail swings. If the sail is quite free its sheet is said to be 'in the wind.' Now, suppose that all three of a ship's sails were quite free. They would then fly about very crazily, and tbe ship would wobble. The course of the ship would be a zig- zag one, and the reason for this would be that she bad 'three sheets in the 'wind.' That, I guess, is why a man when he zigzags in his course Is said to be `three sheets in tbe wind' also." He Was Not Laconic. John Morley in.his life of Gladstone 'tells the story of the statesman's ex- amination for admission to Oxford uni- versity when he was a youth. The ex- aminer, having utterly failed to floor the caindidate on some point of the 'elegy, said, "We will now leave that part of the subject." "No, sir," replied the candidate; "if you please, we will not leave it yet:" wed proceeded to pour forth a fresh stream:, The dean in Mr. Gladstone's day was Gaisford, famous among other things for Ms trenchant brevity. "This, 'laconic gift,"; observes Mr. -Morley slyly, "the dean' evidently had not time to transmit to all of his flock." THIS- Isa. HOME.

After dinner I went up to try to write, and then 1 found that Siberia had come again. I put great logs of wood upon the fire and blew them with the bellows till the flames roared up the chimney, but still I shivered in the icy blasts that blew through every crevice, I put on my ulster, I dragged the blankets from the bed, I ran races around the room and practiced the Indian clubs with a heavy portmanteau in each hand, but still I felt my blood congealing, and the horrors of the early morning came back again. In this dflemina my companion's Su- dan experiences stood us in good stead. He was with Gordon in the expedition of 1876.7. He took our walking sticks and umbrellas, and with these and the blankets and the rugs he rigged up a nice, comfortable tent is front of the fire.

VARIATIONS IN MiLK FAT SAILED fOR CANADA NINETY YEARS AGO Remarkable Old $ea•do'g Recalls Days of Savage Punishment In British Navy Wyebridge, in Surrey is very proud of John Durrant who went to sea ninety years ago and is still alive and well at the age 'of 104. When four- teen years old he joined the Campden, a merchant vessel The destination of the Campden' was Quebec, and that city has probably never been - in a more pitiable condition than when the English vessel arrived. "We had a good view of Champlain street, which runs near the docks," said Mr, Durrant, "and we were alarmed to discover that the city was. in the grip of yellow fever, or some- thing equally as devastating. Nine out of every' ten houses that we could see had nobody living in them, and the doors were painted with -a red cross to indicate that they had been visited by the fever." Three years later Durrant joined Sir John: Franklin's expedition which was then preparing to go to the Are- tic—the ill-fated party not one of whose members ever returned from the frozen North. At the last moment however, Durrant was drafted into the Navy, joining H.M.S. Winchester. The captain of the Winchester was They Show That Cows Should be Tested at Frequent Intervals Frequent experiments have shown that one single test of a cow's milk le not reliable as an indication of what percentage of fat her milk nor- mally contains. A great many well known causes affect the test, •also some causes that are unknown at present even by the closest students. This "variation in the test" is one of the puzzles of the cow's individuality, and because of these puzzling varia- tions it is advisable to take composite samples at Intervals so as to ascertain the average test. Some painstaking investigations at one of the dairy research stations in England, with seven cows for two days, even covering such details as a separate test of eleven successive pints, three times a day, from the four quarters of the udder, show that while thirty pounds of milk per day was 8.6 per cent., the variation was all the way from only six -tenths of one per cent. up to nine and a half per gent, of fat. • This is clear proof of how mislead- ing one single 'test may be, ' If the 'veal earning capacity of each individual ow is to becomputed, it must be on t p,. basis of her annual production of itlldk and fat less the cost of feed; ` regular weighing and testing give that knowledge which, every factory patron should have of each cow he keeps.

Th®.WQON`M0t11olno co. g1%LIeZ' ern- mere, SPIndsor} TotgnteaQlntte a Captain P—, of whom old John entertains anything but pleasant re- collections. He was of the old school of naval commanders, who prescribed flogging for the most trifling offences. Saw Terrible Floggings "The Winctiestei was the_flagship of Admiral Harvey, whose son _was on board as flag -lieutenant," said Mr. Durrant, "and we were to pick up the Admiral at Halifax and then proceed to Barbadoes. We were a little over a month in making Nova Scotia, and in that time things became so bad— half the crew almost suffering from the 'claws of the cat'—that it was a miracle to me that no mutiny occur- red, "It came near to that one morning, I recollect, when a poor fellow was receiving three dozen lashes at the hands of the bo'sun and his two as- sistants. While the bo'sun was laying on the first dozen the poor chap screamed out in agony, 'Oh, mates, will you stand by and see this dread- ful punishment?' "There was a dead silence, and the mac moaned, 'Oh, comrades, com- rades, cowards you are to let it go on.' The marines were on deck armed, and Captain P—, who was watching the scene, shouted out to the bosun, 'Mr, G--, you aren't half doing your duty, sir!' "Very quietly, upon that, the bo'sun laid down the 'eat,' and, looking at the captain, he said, clearly, 'I've done with it. I'll punish no more men while I belong to this ship. I know I'm in your hands, sir; you can do what you like with me!' Dared the Captain "As I have said, we had aboard as flag -lieutenant Admiral Harvey's son, and when we reached Halifax and the Admiral came aboard, his son showed him a log of the punishments which he had kept. Admiral Harvey examined the crew thoroughly, and then he gave the order for as many of us as could get there to go aft. Then he produced this log, and turn- ing to Captain P— he said: 'Now, sir, I have a very good mind to send • you back home to England. You are not fit to be in charge of this ship. Look here,' he says, shaking the log, 'there has been too much punishment aboard. Two days after you left Ply- mouth you punished two marines, and every day since there has been punish- ment inflicted. Go to your cabin, alr,' he concluded, and calling up the master-: wira-s and the ship's cor- poral he confined Captain P— to his cabin and kept him there for a fort- night under sentry --a prisoner in his own ship." Not Long In Navy Durrant left the Navy an invalid • after a few years and returned to the merchant service. Again he came to Canada and started to work as a pilot , on the St. Lawrence. A year later he left Canada in a new vessel of 1,800 tons, built at Prince Edward Island. He was second mate. "We ran into bad conditions," he recalled, "and lost our -masts. We were at the mercy of the sea, with big waves breaking on ,the deck, . There. had been 'thirty-one' on the ship al- together, but when the dawn broke there was only the captain, a man named George Jury, and myself, who had 'climbed for the maintop directly we realized the plight of the ship, "For 'thirteen days we drifted about, existing upon ice and frozen snow, and, when the pangs of hunger were very' terrible, I chewed a piece of lead.
