"We. have jollygood entertainments almost every night, end some of the Yellows who come to talk to us are not half bad, I can tell you. Besides, I go there to rub im my conversational French." "Conversational French!" said Tom, only dimly understanding what he meant, "Dost 'a mean to sty that thev learn you Freneh there?" °There's it Frenchman who gives his services free," replied Penrose. "It's jolly good of him too, for the poor wretch has hardly a sixpence to his mune; still he does it, In his way he's (mite a French scholar, and he has helped me no end."

There are to be no flying schools in Britisb Columbia. It has been decide ed to abandon the Lulu Island scheme. Great Britain has enrolled between 5,000,000 and 5,500,000 men as sol- diers, or one in eight of the popula- tion. Canada has enrolled one in twenty.

He was well fed, well housed, and well clothed, and while his pocket money was not ex- travagant, he had enough for his need. Indeed in many respects it would have been better for Tom if he had had less money, The influence of the Thorn and Thistle was still strong upon him, and I have to relate with sadness that on more than one occas- ion Tom barely escaped punishment for being drunk and disorderly, Most of the lads with whom he was brought into contact were, on the whole, steady and well-behaved, On the other hand, however, there were a number of them who had a bad influence upon him, en fact, while he narrowly escaped be-, ing brought before his superiors for his various misdemeanours, Tom's character was steadily deteriorating., The first flush of enthusiasm, and loyalty, and even something nobler than loyalty, which had been aroused in him by the speaker who had caused him to join the army, slowly fadded away. The men with whom he as- sociated did not help him to be on the' side of the angels, rather they ap- pealed to what was coarse and debased isikis nature. To tell the truth, there was very lit- tle in Tom's life which tended to en- noble him. It is true there was a service for soldiers every Sunday, morning in ane of the big buildings in; the town, and while Tom, lover of . music as he had always been, was! 'somewhat influenced by the singing, of the men, and while the hymns re-: minded him of his Sunday -school days, they did not move him very deeply.: He paid little or no attention to the, ministrations of the chaplain. Neith- er did he avail himself of the many' meetings Which were held for soldiers, by the various churches in the town. Indeed, up to this point Tom was not the better, but the worse, for joining the Army. There was in Tom's company a young fellow much superior to the rank and file of the soldiers. He was • a young Cornish lad, the son of a well -1 to-do father who had sent him to a good public school, met from thence! to Lancashire to learn the manufacture ink business. This young fellow,: Robert Penrose by name, although be- longing socially to a different class from that in which Tom moved, took a liking to him. He was amused at his good humor, and seemed to be, grieved at seeing him drifting with the dregs of the battalion, "I say, Pollard," he said to him on, one occasion, "do you know you are making an ass of yourself? You have the makings of a man in you, and , Yet you mix with that lot," 'Why shouldn't I?" said Tom. "Because you have more brains than! they have, are better educated, and; are capable of better things." 1 "Why shouldn't I have a lark while I can?" replied Tom, "I shall have o go to the front in a month or two,' so I will just make hay while the sun .shines." "Make hay!" replied Penroee, "make a fool of yourself, you mean. I hear' hat years ago you were on the way! becoming an educated chap, and: ow everybody's looking upon you as ne of the drinking fellows." "It's all very well for von to talk," id Tom, "you're a swen." • "I ani a private just as you are, 'eplied Penrose. "Ay, but you will be getting a cam- ission soon, and there's no chance of hat for nee. I don't belong to your °rt. Besides, what can I do? here's no places but the theatrethe nema show, and the public-h.ouee hen the dav's work is over. "That's all nonsense," replied Pen - 350. "Well, what is there?" asked Tom, "There's the Y. M. C. A." "Y. M. C. A.!" laughed Tem, "none that fee me! I know seine of the ols.who go to the Y. M. C. A. nteet- ,C.it,. .ireVhy are they fools?" "Because they go and hear a lot of e-jave; they are a lot of ninnies, it's what they are." "They don't get hauled over the is for 'misbehaviour, anyhow." 'No, they haven't got pluck enough. DOMESTIC SCIENCE AT HOME Seventh Lesson—Fats and Oils. Fats and oils form the second class of the cows from which the milk is of heat and energy giving foods. One obtained, of their functions is to lubricate the Milk taken directly from the cow intestinal tract. and permitted to stand for a period of They produce twice as much energy time has fat globules on the top. as carbohydrates, and for this reason These globules, which are lighter than the people in cold climates consume water, rise to the top and form what from two and one-half to three times is called cream. Cream is wholesome the amount of fat that persons m warm climates would consume. Fats are Classified or separated into two distinct classes—fixed and volatile oils. All fats used in the prepara- tion and cooking of food are called fix- ed oils. By this term is meant that little or no evaporation takes place during the process of heating and cooking with the fat. Fixed oils, while they do not evaporate when heated to a high temperature, become dissociated or decomposed; that is, their chemical construction breaks down or separates after the boiling point is reached. Volatile Oils. Volatile oils, upon reaching the boil- ing point, are transformed into a gas or vapor. For instance, if the es- sential oil of turpentine is heated in a proper vessel by chemists to 300 de- grees Fahr., it ceases to be a liquid and becomes a gas, which, upon cool- ing, returns to the liquid form without loss of volume or weight. This experiment is dnngerous and should be performed only by labora- tory experts and chemists. It is given here only as an example for a proper explanation. Oil of cloves, cinnamon, bitter almonds. lemon, patchouli and berga- mot are a few of the best known of the volatile ails. Composition of Fat. Fats are called hydrocarbons, com- posed of carbon united with oxygen and hydrogen. They contain in their composition various fatty acids and glycerine. From decomposed fats the commercial glycerine is obtained, Milk Fats, 7E' P C POR The minute globules of fat that are suspended in milk give it its clean while eolor. The proportion of fat in milk varies from two and eight -tenths to .eight per cent. This variation is due to the age, condition and feeding WESTERN FARMERS CALL FOR. LABOR GRAIN RIPENING RAPIDLY MEN ARE SCARCE. BUT Cutting Will Commenee About August 20—Patrietiam Demands Con- servation of Crop The gravity of the situation re- gard to the harvesting of Ontario's crops serves but to illustrate more clearly the seriousness of the call of the farmers of the western prairies for some 30,000 men from the eastern provinces to help garner the grain in Manitoba, Saskatehewan and Alberta this season, The Canadian Northern Railway whose 13,000 miles of line in the three prairie provinces serve the most pro- • ductive areas, have already announced that the help of 25,000 men would be required to assist the farmers along its lines this year. Since then repre- sentatives of the Federal government,' the three provincial governments and the leading railways, have conferred at Winnipeg, and announced that 31,000 harvesters from Ontario and the. other easter1! provinces would be welcomed in the west this year. As everyone knows, agriculture is at the base of our Canadian prospmity, and if only for this domestic reason, the harvest should be assured. But this year the wheatless millions throughout the world look to the North American continent and especially Canada, for their supply. The North American, wheat crop this year be- longs th all the world with the excep- tion of the Teutons and their allies, and because of this it is imperative that the grain yield be conserved.

It is a generally acknowledged fact that we have never made proper use of electricity in this country, In The World's Work, for July, Mr. James Armstrong predicts the early dawn of the British electric age. Ste cites Sweden as an example of the part which electricity is playing in the des- tiny of the world. The city of Stockholm is al. -Cold a city in winter as one could wish to find; but although Sweden produces not an ounce of coal its citizens are as warm and snug as if they lived in tha tropics. Electricity supplies the solution of the problem. The Stock- holm householder does not .burn coal in the grate of his room, and strive to profit froin a modicum of heat which is radiated into the room, while most of it escapes up the chimney. Neither does he dive into the depths of the cellar to stoke up the furnace. His last duty on retiring for the night is to move a small handle or switch button if you like—which sendee a cur- 1 rent of electricity circulating through the wire coil enclosing a cold water tank. As the water becomes heated, , up it is sent coursing through the' pipes laid throughout the house, and the constant circulation preserves an equable temperature from hall to roof. Upon rising in the morning the 1 householder shuts oft the current — the water has been heated sufficiently to last the house during the daytime when the energy is required for a thousand and one other purposes for the benefit of the community. How is such a system possible? The ! Swedish engineers have been busy. The torrential rivers and mountain; streams have been harnessed to turn huge turbines linked up with ponder- ous generators which, in their raid ievolution, turn out current as readily and as copiously as water flows from I the tap. The energy thus obtained so readily is conveyed from the lonely power -house, maybe for scores of miles, to the city to be distributed among the residents, who are called upon merely to move a small switch i6nxItellniesadiir homes in order to receive the full benefits which the "juice" can Meals can be quickly and conven- iently cooked, the house brilliantly lighted, and as much heat as desired obtained—all by pressing a button. And the cost, owing to the extensive scale upon, which current is generated, is but a fraction of the expense which would be entailed were coal or any of the other familiar mediums, gaseous and solid, employed for such purposes, Proper Methods of Butterntaking. Few people trouble themselves about the reason that creamery butter is to be preferred to dairy butter, but by way of introduction to Bulletin No, 53 of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, Ottawa, Dairy Commissioner Ruddick furnishes an explanation.
