Princeton man who is fond of ,horses and; degs, !says a,}vriter, owne a finely bred tainting dog;+•which'hq' missed for soiveral days, He made Inn, quiries, but no one ;lied _s.e.en. anything of the animal, send atter -a week the. owner gave him tip as lost, strayed or stolen, One of the farm hands was rambling through a chopped -off wood lot a tew days later and came upon the dog caught in a steel trap that some one had set to catch a skunk or some other game, Both forepaws were held in the jaws of the trap, end the dog could not escape. But, in spite of his terrible predica- ment, he was not emaciated; and al- though in pain, he had not gnawed his, forelegs, as many aninials will do When they are in the torsre of'asteel trap, Strangest of all; scattered ail round the trapped dog were bones, scraps of meat and , varioup other things that dogs. like. Several ham. bones and beef bones, with shreds of meat clinging, were right -under the captive's nose, and he was chewing a bone when the lean discovered his plight. , The trapped dog was carried home in the arms of the man who forced him, and a little later the owner went to the trap to see who or what had brought those bones and scraps of food to' the sufferheg captive, While he stood silently regarding the 'little heap of bones and scraps, another dog from his own kennels Caine through the brash, leer jaws filled with chicken bones, meat trimmings and other •gi'eanings from the kitchen garbage pail, The dog droppod her load close to the trap and sniffed round as if she were worried, 'She whined and whim- pered when she decided that' her friend had gone. The owner called her, and she cane slinking and tremb- ling to him, as if she expected to be punished. The owner patted and fondled her; then he went with leer to the trap and let her smell round It to her heart's content, and all the while he kept calla lag her "Good old doggy! Good dog!" until she::seemod to understand that her :master was praising her; then her,jey was unmistakable., Calling her after him, he went hack to that stable, where the injured dog was -licking his wounds. When the other..dog saw the rescued animal, She showed every indication of joy. She barked, capered round, wagged her tail almost off, and then lent her own moist tongue to the healing process on her friend's sorely bruised paws. The two dogs seemed to understand each other, and the way those two friends expressed friendship was a revelation to the }humans who looked on. When He Comes Whistllne Home. He used to come, vacation times, Home on the midnight train, Whistling as clear as any bird, in spite of snow or rain; We seldom heard that music shrill Ring like a silver horn— We were so sure, the night before, He would not come till morn! But in our dreams there seemed to be An echo of great joy; Our sleep was filled with visions brigh t, And all about "the boy!" The doorbell peals! the household wakes. Slippers and robes are donned, And yawns and laughter break the hush, And exclamations fond. The door is opened; up the stairs He conies on flying feet, The motlely crowd that gathers there Tumultuous to greet. "Caught us again." "The train was late!" "Examinations done?" "I wish we hadn't gone to bed!" "Dear boy!" "Yell scamp!" "What fun!" A 'whining breaks upon the ear, With scratehings mingled in it; "The dog!" "He's wild!" "He heard your voice!" -"011 let him in a minute!" The door flies wide; he clears the stairs ' In one long, rapturous leap; And In that happy household now Is no more thought of sleep! So long ago! so far away! Such endless miles from home! The transports dock, with cheering crowds, And yet lee does not come! Four weary, waiting, listening years Of pride, love, fear, regret, And yet he does not come! 0 France, Can you•not spare trim yet? Some night, upon the pavement still Shall sound a ringing heel; A step upon .the 'echoing porch, The doorbell's eager peal. Oh, joy and laughter, hope and Mirth, No longer shall you roam; You'll all be crowding back again When he comes whistling home! aYp Puns. Two British soldiers went into a restaurant at Salonika and asked for Turkey with Greece. The waiter said, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I can't Ser - via," whereupon the Tommies cried, "Fetch thee Bosphorus," When that gentleman arriyed and heard the com- plaint, the manager said: "Well, gentlemen, .I don't want to Russia, but you cannot Rumania." And sothe poor Tolnm`es had to go away Hungary. To prevent crumbl'i� ng when cutting new bread heat the knife very 'hot.

So many things to love in that small house of ours, The sunlighttswept across the break- fast board, The brass bowls blooming with their nodding sheaves of flowers, The genial fireplace where stout logs have roared; There is a little window locking to the east Where stars peeped in on us through twilight haze; The mottled plates we kept against the seldom feast -Shining from their shelves in bright arr' yea The wide, soft rugs--fair-colored as some enfabled mead, With stiff Levantine blossoms, weaver -sown; The stately stairs, the pipestand and rows of books to read; The sweater on the settle lightly thrown. So much I love a * u their peace, content and happiness, And friendliness to make such cor- ner bloom, And, more than all, the clock, so solemn of address, That murmurs to itself down the ' still room. There is no better disinfectant than sunshine. Let it flood the rooms which are occupied, let it shine into your bread boxes and butter jars;I the sunshine makes them sweet. FATEFUL YEARS...

Recent Developments In This Useful War Equipment. The military searchlight has proved of enormous usefulness during the war for a great variety of purposes, and, as a result, it has undergone very important development. There has appeared, as one product of its evolution, a portable electric searchlight, weighing only 143 pounds, which can easily be carried by a couple of neon or by a pule. Pro- vided with a powerful archlight, it throws, with the help of a bowl -shaped mirror of glass, a beam of brilliant in- tensity. There is a tendency, however, to get rid of glass mirrors for war search- lights. They have two important dis- advantages. One is that a chance bul- let will put them out of commission; the other, that properly made glass reflectors cannot be quickly or easily obtained. Nothing short of a first- class mirror -malting plant is capable of turning them out. Accordingly, the army is now using reflectors which are simply shallow bowls of thin sheet iron plated on the inside with silver. They are not equal to mirrors. but they can be turned out quickly in indefinite numbers any. where that silver plating ie done. A rifle bullet will not break them, and they have the additional advantage of cheapness. Glass reflectors are very expensive, Thee French during the war have been making trial of searchlight re- fiectors plated with gold, which, it is claimed, have greater brilliancy. They are most costly, of course, but do not require daily polishing. Rembrandt, the great painter, knew the Bible by heart from end to end. An inch of rain descending on an acre of land would fill more than 600 Barrels of forty-five gallons each. German war losses up to 30th April last were 2,050,460 dead, 4,- 207,028 wounded and 615,922 missing, a total of 6,873,410, according to figures published in Berlin.

MOUSE, ]ntoresting Experiments Showing Ef- fO'ot'hf Pelson pas: Mice hale been fpund useful for giv- -ing warning of a the presence of dan- gerous gases in mines, They were emg ployed for the same p, rpose in the trenches during the• wa'r' But. Canary, birds proved much,be£ter. It is the exceptional sensitiveness of mice and canaries to such: cases that renders them valuable in this way, They show signs of distress long be- fore human beings notice the poison- ing of. the air they breathe. But the •mouse (in a cage) may at any time bo inactive and sluggish, so'. that the indications it gives are not to be relied upon. On the other hand, the canary is perpetually alert and hopping about. , 'If it droops . or be- comes quiet it is time to get out of the mine or put on the gas mask: Many experiments have been' made to determine the exact degree of the canary's sensitivenessto poisonous gases, relatively to that of human be- ings. In one of them a man was put into a glass inclosed box and 'a -quanti- ty quanti- ty o$ deadly When monpxide vas in- troduced. The man held in his hand a cage containing a canary, Presently the bird collapsed. But the man Stayed in the box eight minutes longer before he found him- self unable to stand up. He was then promptly dragged out. Beyond a severe headache for some hours, how- ever, he suffered no ill effects. This proved definitely that a man can endure a more than fairly danger- ous gas poisoning eight minutes long- er than a canary. Hence the conclu- sion—neost valuable for practical pur- poses—that workers in mines have eight minutes in which to escape from a gas-filled mine tunnel after their bird (they commonly carry canaries with them nowadays) shows symp- toms of severe distress. The birds subjected to these experi- ments are quickly revived by putting them into a little glass cage box, the handle of which is a small steel tube containing liquid oxygen. The oxygen is allowed to flow into the box and soon the canary is well and lively. • • BABY'S OWN TABLETS OF GREAT HELP Mothers, if your baby or growing child is sickly; if he does not sleep well at night; if he cries a great deal; is constipated and his little bowels and stomach are not working right, give him Baby's Own Tablets—they have proved of great help to thousands of mothers. Concerning the Tablets Mrs. W. H. Decater, Corson's Siding, Ont., says:—"I have used Baby's Own Tablets and have found them excel- lent for the little ones and would not be without them." The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative and are guaranteed to. contain no harmful drug—that is why they always do good and never hmrm. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. Politeness Pays. A bright-eyed little boy in a sailor suit saluted the occupants of a passing motorcar so quaintly that they stopped to give him sixpence. "You're a very polite little fellow," the lady motorist said, "Do you salute all the strangers who pass in the same way?" "No, leo, ma'am, only motorists," the boy stammered, !angering his sixpence nervously. "Father says I'm to be polite to them, because motorcars bring him trade," The lady seemed disappointed. "What is your father's trade, my little man? Does he repair motor- cars?" "No, ma'am; he's an undertaker," was the little fellow's response.

Controversy Over Fiume Shown in Postage Stamps. A striking example of the manner in which current events are reflected on the postage stamps of nations is Provided by the Itale-Slovak deadlock at Fiume. When the Jugo-Slays first occupied the town, immediately after. the de- claration of the armistice, they signal- ized the event by imposing the initials of the united Slav states—"S. H. S."— upon the Slav stamps, which, however, proved short-lived, for on the arriv- al of the Italilans they were suppres- sed in favor of a somewhat similar series, hearing the simple imprint "Fiume" in large black capitals. Whatever may he the ultimate fate of Fiume, these transitionary stamps will constitute historical evidence of. the rival claims to its possession. There is no more certain way of spoiling a good voice than by sing- ing loudly. CANADA IS PAR GOLF. "Canadian golfers aro hard to beat, but Canadian hospitality cannot be ,beaten,'! declared Charles ("Chick") Evans, ,Jr„ amateur and open tarp; pion golfer of the United States, tteir he had returned from the Hamilton and Scarborqugh Golf Chiba. Cana- dian experts in these clubs had com- pelled him to •play Isis best to win, and then both clubs had made him a life,member. "Canada, in my opinion," lie. added, "is par golf." About the third week in June Evans ]lopes to make: his fifth trip to Canada to play for the benefit of the Canadian Red: Cross. Other noted golfers who may go along are Francis Ouimet, Jerome D. Travers and John G. Ander- son. The cities visited will be Mont - reel, Ottawa, St. Andrews -by -tile -sea anis Toronto. Qanada has a string of well-planned golf courses from the Atlantic to the Pacific, ranging from seaside links at St: Andrews -by -the -sea on the Bay of Ftindy to the Banff Springs Golf Club,, Alberta, where the golfer can play his game at an altitude of nearly a mile. Going farther west he can play the Vancouver and Victoria golf clubs where the altitude is not far above the seaand where the golf sharp can play the royal and ancient game every month in the twelve, because the Japan current decrees that there shall be no "winter killed" greens, This year will be the greatest in the history of Canada and the United States, so far as international golf is concerned. Ten of Canada's best golf- ers will play against ten of the best from the United States at the Hanei1 ton Golf and Country Club, Hamilton, Ontario, on July 26th, and the Cana- dian Seniors, who won the Duke of Devonshire's Cup in a match against the United States Seniors, will defend the cup in a return match at Apawa- mis Golf Club, Rye, N.Y. Champion Evans has a very high. opinion of Canadian golf courses, and of the Hamilton Golf and Country Club in particular. "This Club," he states, "is one of the very best links in North America. It 'swings well,' and is a thorough test of golf." The St. Andrews -Algonquin Golf, Club at St. Andrews -by -the -Sea is an 18 -hole links, 6,000 yards in length, and there is also a 9 -hole links near by- The long course resembles some of the best seaside links of Scotland. Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Winnipeg, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver are all great golfing centers. At the Banff Springs Golf Club on "The Boot of the World," the golf is excellent and the scenic surroundings unsur- passed in beauty. TORONTO FAT STOCK SHOW. At the annual meeting of the Toron- to Fat Stock Show, held recently, it was decided to again have classes for female cattle, also that instead of re- quiring ninety days' ownership of cars loads of cattle that it would be suf- ficient if owned by exhibitor at time of entry. This will be welcome news to some exhibitors who were unable to compete in some of the classes last year. The Forth Bridge. An American naval officer, on ar- rival in Scottish waters, was signalled to anchor at thee Forth Bridge. After gruising about for hours the officer signalled back this message:—"Have searched this brook from mouth to source. Have found the first bridge all right, but I'm blest if I can find the second, let alone the third or fourth!" MONEY ORDERS. Buy your out-of-town supplies with Dominion Express Money Orders.

"Now, Charles, if you're a very good boy, I'll give you a penny," "I'm afraid I can't afford to be good for less'n a nickel, gran'ma—not the way prices is to -day." Saving the Tip. He was looking for a change to pop the question and the girl was, not averse. "Did you pay my little bro- ther to remain out of the parlor?" she asked. "Yes; I hope I was not pre- suming." "You were not. But if you paid him, I won't." They're engaged now, Dry Cleaned. A little four-year-old who is most emphatically opposed to having her face washed, said to her grandmother the other day "I am not going to wash my face any more." When asked for an explanation, she said, "I've decided to have it dry cleaned," Instructing Grandpa. "I was talking to my little grand- daughter over the telephone the other day," said an old man recently to a few of his friends at a hotel, " and when I ended I said, "Here, Dorothy, is a kiss for you.' She replied, 'Oh! pshaw, grandpa! Don't you know that a kiss over the telephone is like a straw hat?' I said, 'Why, no, sweet- heart, how's that?' 'It's not felt, grandpa,' she said.' Beguiling Giles. Everything In the dear old village seemed the same to Giles after his absence of four years as a prisoner of war in Germany. The old church, the village pump, the ducks on the green, the old men smoking their pipes while the women talked—it was so restful after the treatment he had received at the hands of the enemy. Suddenly he missed something. "Where's Hodge's other windmill." he asked in surprise. "I can only see one mill, and there used to be two." The native gazed thoughtfully round. as if to verity the statement. Then he said, slowly: "They pulled one down, 'There weren't enough wind for two of 'em!" Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. Brown (dictating to his typist)— "But why do you stop so often? Can't you keep up with me?"

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR Make this beauty lotion for a few cents and see for yourself. What girl or woman hasn't beard of lemon juice to remove complexion blemishes; to whiten the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle then this lotion will re-. main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoothen and beautify the skin. Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the, grocer has the lemons. PO5XZTEY WA1.Q'TE3s WYY'vo`i'oiAt•9y`"T'dlTey HAT RAVE .IOU,.
