Beyond all doubt we shall see, in rig distant time, the realization of Cecil Rhodes's great dreamt of. a Cape to - Cairo railway, now that like elimina- tion of Germany front that ' single block of territory- which interrupted the continuity of l3ritish possession form Alexandria to Cape Town has been achieved. In the same way we shall see British capital take over the Bagdad railway, probably in coopera- tion with the French, and complete a railway extending from the Gulf of Alexandretta to the Persian Gulf and beyond to the point of junction with the railways of India. With France established in Syria and Britain as- sured of supremacy in Mesopotamia, the old obstacles to this railway will disappear. Enormous Railway Development... At no remote day passengers will take train in London, arrive in France by the Calais Tunnel, now to be con- structed without delay, pass through France and on down the valley of the Danube to Constantinople, and, cross- ing tho 'Bosporus by a train ferry, con- tinue,olong the road of Alexander the Great through the Cilician Gat to Alep- po, where passengers for Cairo and Cape Town will part with those going to Bagdad and Calcutta. Even more interesting, since less familiar to Canadians, is the promise of development of French colonial railways. With the expulsion of Ger- many from the Congo and the en- forced recognition by the Germans of French supremacy in Morocco France is at last free, without the old haunt- ing fear that she was building for Germany, to complete her railway sys- tems in her own African empire. French capital and French merchants can take up the task of completing the great work which for nearly a cen- tury the French have been pushing slowly in the regions from Algeria southward. Precisely as Britain will uow re- store prosperity in the Garden of Eden, the French will be able to trans- form Morocco, one of the richest bits of undeveloped land in the world. Tunis, Algeria, Morocco -- these three . states constitute an empire which lies almost at the door of France. Algiers is now but twenty hours from Marseilles. In them Route wrought miracles and France has gone far to restore the Roman prosperity and establish a French world. Of the three Morocco is po- tentially the richest, but all have a wonderful future. In Morocco there is a wide field for the young men who find a return to the restraints of civilization irksome; while French in- dustry, finding a market and a field for development inside the French customs system are bound to find ample opportunity for development. British Gains in War. Of course, Britain remains the great colonial nation and the real gainer in colonial expansion by the war. In Africa she has acquired three-quarters Of, a million square miles of German territory, against less than a third as great a gain by France. She has, moreover, rounded out her African es- tate and her road to Cape Town .is now clear. Under British rule the German colonies are bound to marc& rapidly to real prosperity, particularly German East Africa, which is an em- pire in itself. In Asia, too, the great prize is British. Mesopotamia and the first mortgage on Persia together serve as outworks for both Egypt and India. Thus, British manufacturers will find new markets, British shipping new ports, What has already been done in Egypt along the Nile will be repeated in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and the Euphrates. If war is prevented for another half century it seems almost inevitable that North Africa will be brought back to the prosperity and civilization which it enjoyed under Rome, and even if war comes after only twenty- five years of truce we shall see Moroc- can troops and African troops restor- ing the balance between b"rench and German armies completely. Moreover, in a far shorter time we shall certainly see an enormous trans- formation of Africa; we shall see enormous railway expansion., and out Of this new and peaceful conquest we shall see arising a prosperity which will go far to liquidate the great costs of the recent war.

Poultry. Just at this season, many poultry keepers are culling their flocks, pre- paratory to the winter laying season, and the "slacker" hens are being dis- posed of, Many housewives find that it pays to can them for an emergency meal or for use next summer. Canning of poultry is not radically different from the canning of fruits or vegetables, the same general princi- ples being followed. Among the gen- eral rules, however, are these: Birds should be killed and dressed the same day of canning; they should be singed, washed, cut up, and cooled as for table use; new rubbers should always be used; covers should be fitted and tested; the time of sterilization is important and should not be Shortened a minute (count time after water around' cans begins to boil). The length of sterilization varies from one and one-half to three hours, according to the method used. Garden cleaningi he fall is as important in its way as housecleaning ,in the spring, whether flowers or vege- tables make up the garden plot. The achievement of garden cleanliness at this season will often do mud). toward insuring healthiness and thriftiness of plants during the next growing sea- son. The foliage and branches of plants which have been attacked by disease or badly infested by insect pests should be cleaned up especially well and burned. Seasonable Models. 1i: Hurrah!

The flamingo, one of the queerest of birds, sits on its nest while standing straight up, says a writer in the New York Sun. The birds build their nests in shallow ponds, where there is much mud. This they scrape together, Mak- ing little hillocks, like small islands appearing out of the water about a foot and a ha'if from the bottom. They make the foundations broad, and leave a small opening, or hollow pit, at the top, where they deposit their two eggs, the number the flamingo always lays. To hatch them theamingo stands over the nest, with its 'body just above the eggs. It couldn't put its long, awkward legs inside the nest, and to sit on the hillock would jeopardize the eggs. Young flamingoes do not fly readily, although they run very fast. Once they learn to fly they show speed and resemble sky rockets, with their bril- liant red plumage. Flamingoes were first noticed in 1683 by Dampier, on the Cape Verde Islands. Ever since they have been hunted to provide feathers for milady's hats. The Reason.

Don't forget exercise, and a,dd as muck fat as possible to your daily con- sumption of food. Don't overburden yourself with thick clothes. Ventilation as well as warmth should be alined at. Don't toast yourself by the fire. This only heats one side of the body, while the other may be chilled by a current of cold air. Don't treat a cold as a trivial mat- ter. It may lead to influenza and serious illness. Don't sneeze without covering your mouth with a handkerchief. A man with a cold can easily throw his poison germs 12 ft. by a sneeze.
