Added to this were the com- forting words that Private Parke was improving slowly. " 'As she cense 'ere?" the bantam asked, and Miss Daintry lied, fearing the patient might have a relapse if she told him that the little girl had called. That evening Captain Dudley tip- toed into the ward and found the faithful Miss Daintry on guard over her little warrior. He had been away several days and was gratified to hear that the angel -like ministering of Miss Daintry had resulted in the bantam's improvement.

At first thought it might seem an im- possible feat to collect the perfume of flowers after it has escaped into the air, yet it seems simple enough by a method that the Scientific Arherican describes. Freth, higlaseented blossoms are placed in an uncovered bowl filled 'with water and set near the "collector," which consists of a common glass fun- nel with the small end closed. The funnel is filled with a mixture of crushed ice and salt and suspended in an upright position. Moisture from the air of the room forms on it and unites with the emanations from the flowers. As the moisture collects it runs off the tip of the funnel into a receptacle. If this liquid i$ mixed with an equal amount of pure alcohol, the perfume of the flowers is pre- served indefinitely.

Morris, M.P., Premier Lloyd George signed the Pd ace Treaty with a fountain pen, says a London despatch, This is said to be the first time in history that such a pen has been used for the sig- nature of a treaty. Mr. Morris thus tells the story: "I desired some time ago to give the Prime Minister' a little souvenir, and, seeing that he writes such a lot, I thought it would not be a bad idea to give him a fountain pen. The holder is heavily gold mounted and adorned with the Welsh words, 'Nado Lig, 1918.' It also is inscribed with the Prime Minister's signature in fac- simile. since.

If you cannot buy a commercial canner you can use your boiler, e. lard can, large kettle or pal. Put'a small board with holes bored in it in the bottom to rest the cans on, otherwise they are likely to break. Do not use paper or straw packed down. The de- partment of agriculture finds this method unsatisfactory. A slat bot- tom like a basket cover will do. Good commercial canners may be bought for $4.50 or $5.00. If you have a great deal of canning to do it would pay you to buy one. In canning peas handle carefully so as not to break the akin. If the skin is broken the liquid becomes "cloudy." This dees not spoil the vegetables, but gives them a bad appearance. In canning corn it is better to cut just enough off the cob for one can at a time.

Japan's Temples. Built of Wood, inMRuins.otofhem Are Now Egypt built her monuments in stone; Japan built most of hers of wood. The Egyptian pyramids were thousands of years old when' Kamakura was built. To -day the pyramids seem no older, but Kamakura's greatness is only a memory. A few temples built from the wreck, after fire and tidal waves had destroyed the city, are all that have remained, and they are fragile temples of wood. In one temple the image is a Japan- ese conception of the god of the lower world. The figure has an unusual his- tory. An image -maker, It is said, died. When he appeared before the lord of the other world, he was told that in his lifetime he had never repreeented the lord of the world properly, and that he must return to earth and make a correct likeness. The figure is pointed out as the result of the order. The most remarkable image in Kee makura is not in a temple.

AF DE'ALE CEREeli ONY OF 1870 AND THAT OF 1919 TWO MEMORABLE SCENES AT' VERSAILLES. Arrogant Prussian War Lords ideve Given Place to Delegates Signing a Dictated Pease. Most of us are' firmiliewith the pic- ture of the ceremony of the procla- 'nation of the German Emperor in the' Hall of Mirrors at Versailles in Decent!, her, 1870, writes Maier General Sir' Frederick Maurice. 'The central figure, is justly enough not old Hitg the, newly become Emperor, but the, big; burly person of Bismarck, who, Massed' In his 'white 'Caltitaillet form, with polished steel helmet on his. head, clanking sabre at his side, legs in great jack boots reaching half way. up the thighs, stands forward en the front of the dais and reads the dome, ment, which announces to the world that the King of Prussia has taken to' himself the title of German Emperor. That was a great moment in Bis - mercies life, for it marked with pomp, and circumstance the triumph. of hie. trolley of blood and iron and the "Mita dl Germany, which lead been the goal. of that policy. He had planned three, wars to bring that unity about, and now in the third the hereditary enemy had been crushed, the 'mutual jealous - les' of the German States had disap- peared in pride in the common via - tory, and the supremacy of Pl'USSia. had been established beyond question,. • There had been anxieties up to the' last moment. The old King was none too eager to exchange his hereditary crown for another diadem, which 'it ^Dior° resplendent might, as one of the . assistants at the ceremony, von Brum- enthal, shrewdly remarari in his diary, prove to be a crown of thorns,,, )3a - Tarifa Prussia's chief rival, had not. given way with the best of grace and on the very eve of the ceremony had insisted tine title of Emperor of Ger- many, which had been proposed,. should be changed to that of German. Emperor, in order that all might know' that the new chief was the head of an association of States, and that Bavaria, retained her independence within her frontiers. This had aroused strong op- position in Prussia, but in the end Bis- marcit got his way, as ne usually did, by the adroit use of threats and con- cessions. French Guns Within 7,000 Yards. It is strange for us, who have read. of the bombardment of Paris ham a. distance of 70 miles, to think of this. assemblage of princes and powers in the Palace of Versailles taking place within 7,000 yards of the German front Bab trenches at St. Cloud, and within 9,000 yards of the guns of Mont Valer- len which contained tine heaviest artil- lery then possessed by the French. 1VIolthe had got wind of French pre- parations for a sortie, which in point. of fact Wok place the very next day. The French in the sortie woe a foot- ing 021 Garche Ridge, to which the faithful guide now takes the tourist. for a view over Paris across the Bois de Boulogne. There was alarm in Ver- sailles, -where the day before there bad been rejoicing, and we find Bis- marck's Boswell, Moritz Busch, speak- ing of the French being within two miles and of talk in the new Em- peror's entourage of packing up, but the day of the ceremony passed off peacefully enough, and as was fitting for the celebration of the harvest of the policy of blood and iron as it was of military display. Tine colors and standards of the German regiments besieging Paris gave to the scene a. background of gold and silk, reproduced almost to the infinite as the reflection in one mirror was repeated in another across the hall. in front of the colors were grouped on the dais the princes of the German States, heeded by the handsome figure of the Crown Prince Frederick. Inn the centre stood the old King, and one the floor in limit of him Bismarck. Moltke, and Roan, the triumvirate who had brought to pass the event which wan being consu- mated, , . Flanking the dais on either Side ‚were two gigantic trooper's, liv- ing monuments of. the Prussian ideal. The body of the great hall was crowd- ed with a mass of officers representing the armies of the German States, henceforth to be united in the German Army. Contrast between Then and Now. Bismarck gave Germany to drink the brew which he had concocted, and left the ball a proud and satisfied man, little dreaming how his draught would go to the heads of his Prussians, and by making them drunk with power and lust would bring than back to the Hall of Mirrors in beggary and shame, , The ceremony just concluded wile very different, There were mere black coats than uniforms, few ribbons and stars, and no gigantic troopers. The artist who is to paint the pic- ture, fpr we may assume the scene will be recorded on canvas for us, will net have as easy a task as had his Germans rival. Mr. Lloyd George, President -Wilson and M. Clemenceau will nct cut tho figure of Bannerol: in his jack boots, though Foch, in his sky bide, may be able to challenge comparison with Moltke. Yet if the picture doegi not strike the eye, it will be well worth having, particularly if we call place it beside a copy of that other picture which hangs, or used to hang, in the arsenal at Berlin.
