TILE STRESS AND STRAIN OF
THE STOKER'S CALLING.
Ile is Subject to Many and Great
Dangers on the Huge
Battleship.
"Full speed' ahead I Shake her
up 1" shouts the navigating lieut-
enant on the bridge of the battle -
Ship. The listener hears the
"ding -done of the engine -room
telegraph -bell as the indicator is
swung over to the extreme point of
the dial; the engineer below pulls
it huge lever, and opens the throt-
Ile-valve to adm4t more steam to the
engine, and the vessel 'lashes the
eery into an angry foam as its pro-
pellers thrust it forward through
the waves, says London Answers.
That is the outward and visible
part of the execution of the order,
but deep down in the hull of the
ship, perhaps below the water -line,
there are souls to whom the com-
linawl is quite as significant, and
upon whom the officer is dependent
for the extra speed ho requires.
• Working in white duck trousers,.
often stripped to the waist, the
a takers perspire freely at they trim
the ooal, bank the fires, and gen-
erally arrange for the replenishing
bf the energy which the opeen grey-
hound is expending.
THE KING IN THE STOKEHOLD
The temperature is high; the
Working space is necessarily confin-
ed, and the hard, manual labor is
intensified by the action of the
bending required for the work.
Ilse engineers and shipbuilders
have carried out their contract, the
Artificers have tended and kept
very part of the mighty machine
in perfect order, but it depends
upon the stoking to produce the
speed from the vessel which it was
intended she should attain.
its Majesty ping George popul-
arised himself among the stoker
ratings of the Service when, on
's trip to Canada, he went be -
ow and joined the men making up
he fires of . the Indomitable, and
there is no doubt that his Majesty
realised in practical fashion the
\'alue of the work parried on, un-
le<een on deck, at all the battle
CURED HIS WIFE
S0 If TRIED THEM
LEON SERC !NT FOUND NEW
REALISE( IIT; RIDD'S KIDNEY
' PILLS.
Suffered with his Kidneys and was
very feeble, but now he is feeling
fine.
Saint Walburg, Sask., Nov. 13
(Special).—One healthy, happy fam-
ily in this neighborhood are always
ready to speak a good word for
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are Mr.
and Mrs. Leon Sergent, and here
is the reason in Mr: Sergent's own
words:
"I suffered with my Kidneys and
I was very feeble. My urine was
thick and had a brick -dust sedi-
ment. As Dodd's Kidney Pills had
already cured my wife I bought
three boxes. Now my urine is nor-
mal and I feel fine."
It statements such as these that
give Dodd's Kidney Pills their po-
pularity. They are no cure-all.
They simply cure diseased Kidneys
and the ills that come from dis-
eased Kidneys. But no matter
what neighborhood you visit you
find some man or woman who has
been sick ani] in pain and has been
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. For
a, score of years this work has been
going on and to -day in every part
of Canada Dodd's Kidney Pills are
known as the one sure cure for
Kidney Disease, Urinary Troubles,
Backache, Rheumatism, Dropsy,
Diabetes and Bright's Disease.

TILE TOLL OF THE JUNGLE.
Loss of Life by Wild Beasts -in
India Caused by floods.
India still pays its annual tri-
bute of human life to the jungle.;
In fact, the number of ,deaths from
snake -bite pr the attacks taf wild,
animals has steadily increased dur-
ing the last three 'years -a fact
which the London Times attributes
to the great floods. The rising
waters have driven the serpents out
of the lowlands, up into the vil-
lages. and have clllninished,
through drowning, the natural
food -supply of the larger wild'.
beasts.
In 1910 fif*,y-five persons were
killed by elephants, twenty-five by
hyenas, one hundred and nine by
bears, three hundred and fifty-one
by leopards, three hundred and
ninteen by wolves, eight hundred
and fifty-three by tigers, and six,
hundred and eighty-eight by other'
animals, including wild pigs. No
less than twenty-two thousand four.
hundred and seventy-eight died
from the bite of poisonous snakes.
The grand total of mortality is
twenty-four thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-eight
During the sameyear ninety-
three thousand cattle were v.lso
killed by wild beasts or snakes.
The losses on the part of the in-
habitants of the jungle were nearly
but not quite as great as those of
their human etnemies and the dom-
esticated animals combined, Nine-
ty-one thousand one hundred and
four snakes and over nineteen
thousand wild u•easts of various
kinds were killed.
The Times also reports that . a
great many cases of snake -bite
were successfully treated with the
Brunton lancet and permange*;ate
of potash, but that it is, neverthe-
less, impossiole to assert the value
"It isn't always the prettiest girl
who gets the best husband."
"Maybe not, but she has the most

A cough is often the forerunner of
serious pulmonary afflictions, yet
there is asimple cure within the
reach of all in Sickle's Anti -Con-

cold will .invariably give relief,

They sign ion for either a period
of twelve years as "continuous"
stokers, or as "special service"
stokers for five years with the active
fleet and seven with the Royal
Fleet Reserve.
They are not required to be
trained men, as the work requiring
extra skill is performed by artific-
ers, but they are sent to an estab-
lishment such as the Victory, at
Portsmouth, to be taught their
duties.
They receive a free kit on entry,
and no eharge is made for rations.
Their pay rises from us. lid. per

the amount which can be earned
by chief petty officer stokers.

examination are able to earn from

Extra pay can also be earned
when serving in torpedo -boats or in
the tropics, and there aro oppor-

THE WELL-TRAINED MAN.
, As in other branches, the stokers
get extra allowances for good con-
duct; so that they can obtain a
,goon remuneration for their ser-
viaos, with the promise of a pen-

The duties are undoubtedly ardu-
ous and dangerous, lout there is

KNIGHTHOOD FOR WOMEN
It is not at all well known this
knighthood has constantly been
conferred upon women, says the
London Graphic. Many English
ladies received the accolade, and
many more were members of such
knightly orders as the Garter: and
St. John. When Mary Chol;inon-
deley, "the .bold lady of Cheshire,"
was knighted by Elizabeth for`: "her
valiant address" on the Queen irk-
ing command at the threatened in-•
vasion by Spain, did she know s,:let
a whole city of Spanish women,
gallant women of Tortesa, had b. t ri
knighted for saving that city front
the Moors? Mary and Elizain h
had both boon knighted at St ex:"
coronation; but by the time Ares:,
the second Mary, and Victoriji,
°ended the throne it had peen ieuite
forgotten that according to Engli.th
law and use a woman who filled a
man's office acquired all its privi-
leges and was immune from ,none
of its duties
