She was in a great rage when she read it. She pushed back her dainty, untested repast, which had been serv- ed in the privacy of her own room, and rang her bell violently. "Present my compliments to Lieu- tenant De Vere, and ask him to come to me for ten minutes,"„ she said sharply, to the servant who answered the summons. He came immediately, full of won- der at this abrupt summons, and found her pacing up and down the floor in a great rage which she did not take any pains to conceal. "Did you know of any reason Lord Lancaster; could, have for going up to London this morning?" she ` asked him, after they had gone through the preliminaries of _a hasty good -morn- ing. "No," he replied, p azing at her in surprise. "Well, he 'has gone—did you know that?" she demanded., "Yes, I heard from his gr. oem that he went at daylight this morning,'" he replied. "Here is a note he left for me," she said, angrily. "He says he has been suddenly called away by urgent busi- ness—may be detained a week or more, and wishes me to present ex- cuses and regrets to you and the rest of the company." "I am very sorry he had to go," said the lieutenant. "But -do you believe that he really has business?" she inquired, peev- ishly.

" The 36th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Order of Foresters convened on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th of June, in the City of St. Catharines, at 2 p.m. Delega+es were in attendance time since its inception. The following' officers of High Court were present at the opening session: J. A. Stewart, High Chief Ranger, Perth, Ont.; J. A. A. Brodeur, High Vice -Chief Ranger, Montreal, . Que.; Alf.' P. van. Someren, High Secretary, Brantford, Ont.; Rol.ert Elliott, High Treasurer, Brantford, Ont.; Dr. U. M. Stanley, Chairman. of the -Medical Board, Brantford, Ont.; W. G.

The General Fund is also in a satisfactory condition. • Many special charges, incident to thewar, including donations to National and -Patriotic' Funds, and the arrangement for carrying members on overseas service, hereafter referred to, have been arranged as anticipated without any inconvenience to this fund. In respect to membership also sub- stantial -progress was made, the mem- bership at the end of the year 1914 standing at 91,557. Besides the ordinary benefits from its Life Insurance and Sick and Funeral Benefit Departments, special provision is made, under the constitu- tion of the Order, for assistance to those . of its members suffering from tubercular trouble of any kind. A special grant., is made extending over a period of six months, with a view to assisting to defray the, cost of 'treatment in. any of a number of sani- taria in Canada, making a specialty of such cases, and the membership is urged to take advantage of such treatment in the incipient 'stages of the malady.

De Vere was fain to ; acknowledge that she sung as well as she played. When she had sungthe last line she hooked up into his face. "Will you play or sing something now while I rest ? she asked. "X,'never knew how unfortunate I was before in having no talent for music," he said, ruefully. "1 should like` to oblige you so mueh, but I have no more voice than a raven, Miss West.

Lxeute LL lll�� T:The. Farm 2" Types `of Fakm Wells. The farm 'well, especially a shalloW dug well, shoulcl'be located somewhat above the batns, buildings yards and stock pens, or at least in such a posi- tion that the surface drainage front all possible sources of apierial and vegetable contamination is away' from the well. The location should also be as far removed from these sources as convenience will permit, writes Mr. R. W. Trullinger, Properly to safeguard wells against outside contamination, • first, all sources of contamination should be removed as far as possible. If local conditions and prices will permit, it is a good idea to provide impervious floors . with . watertight drains for farm buildings and stock pens. Un- der the same conditions concrete man- ure pits might well be provided not only to prevent the liquid manure from polluting the neighboring soil, but to save the manure. No garbage, manure or rubbish should be dumped into sinks orbasins in the immediate neighborhood and these should be fenced off and kept free from pollut- ing matter. The house ' should be provided with some method of sew- age disposal, while slops and garbage from the kitchen should b,e put intti tightly covered garbage cans and dis- posed of by burying in the fields�, burning or feeding to pigs. The use of privy vaults and leaching or over- flowingcesspools should be absolute- ly avoided, since they are likely to be sources of the worst contamination.' Every farmer should become• ace quainted . with the various types of wells and the best methods' of protection, and the well should be so protected as to exclude filth front alle those sources of contamination which it has been impossible to rd. move or have been overlooked... In the selection, location and -sink- ing of a well, it is always a good idea to consider frermanence in addition to safety. This will depend, on the kind - of well used, and one should beeace quainted with all types and methods of sinking. The well should: penetrate to levels below that of • the ground- water, surface in the drYest seasons. Dug wells are generally circular ex- cavations three to six feet in diame- ter. They are adapted to localities where the water is near the surface, especially where it occurs in , clayey material andrequires extensive space for its conservation. Bored wells are wells •bored with various types of augurs from two inches to three feet in diameter, rota- ted or lifted by hand or' horsepower. - They are usually lined •with cement or tile sections with 'cemented joints and: often with iron tubing. , They are adapted to localities where the water is at medium depths and to materials similar to those iii which open wells are sunk. Punched wells are small holes usually less than six 'inches in diameter sunk by hand or horsepovyer, by dropping a steel cylin- der slit at the `side so as to haul and, lift material by its spring. They are adapted to soils in which water oc- curs within 50 feet of the surface, but not at; much greater depths. These 'wells should be lined 'with tile, iron tubing or sheetiron casing. Driv- en wells are sunk by driving down- ward small iron tubes, usually 1i/¢ to 4 inches in diameterand provided with point . and screen. They are especially adapted' for use in sand and similar porous materials carry- ing considerable water at slight depths and .are particularly desirable where. the, upper .soil is likely to be polluted. FIRST TORPEDOES USED. Whitehead Adopted Idea of Austrian, and Then Navy Used It. 'The first navy to use torpedoes was the Austrian. Although , the actual inventor of the modern weap- on, Robert Whitehead, was an Eng- lishman, he originally got the idea from an officer in the Austrian navy. The Austrian's idea was to construct an ordinary sort of clockwork boat, and render it dangerous by loading the front of the vessel with a charge of some explosive. He mentioned the idea to Whitehead, - who was then living in Austria, and he, seeing the vast possibilities of the idea, at once set to work to improve it. At the end of two years or so he had produced a rough sort of torpedo, on the lines of the modern one. This first weapon did not work properly, and after running a little distance,' sank. ' At hist, however, workable ones were produced, and Whitehead sold thein to the Austrian navy, Since then, of course, other navies have adopted the torpedo, andhis name has become famous.
