The Cloud Pictures. "0 dear, there's the rain again, just when I was sure the sun was going to come out!" complained little John to his sister Ruth. In some way his mother must have heard his complaint, for there she stood as suddenly as a fairy god- mother, with two saucers of water in her hands. "Get me the indelible ink," she said. "You may bring two bottles, the red and the black. And you may get me two pens, and a block of five - cent paper, for the rougher the paper the better it will be." "Oh, what are we going to play?" cried Ruth. ,,John and Ruth placed the saucers side by side on the low window sill, and then their mother told them to drop a splash of ink into each 'sau- cer. "Now give the water a quick stir with the penholder, and while it is still in motion lay a piece of paper lightly across the top of the saucer and press down gently on the paper Until it just touches the surface of the water. Take your paper up quickly, and lay it out flat to dry." The children soon held tip their pa- pers, and on them were the strangest. figures! "Oh, how pretty!" exclaimed Ruth. "Mine looks just like the pic- tures you see in the clouds."' "And see, I used the red ink, and. mine looks like a fiery dragon," said John. "After you have a little -practice in stirring the mixture," explained their mother, "you can :make some very pretty things—horses, trees, or the pictures like those that Jack Frost paints on the windows in winter."— Youth's Companion. " FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION. Have Lost a Great Number of Men In the War. A. London despatch says the French Foreign Legion has been doing bril- liant work in the fighting north of Arras.- The casualties in the legion have been very heavy, and' a letter re- ceived in London. from a wounded member states that in his company of 250 men only. 60 are left. The letter says: "The legion had the honor of being chosen to be the first out of the trenches and to take the German lines with the bayonet. This was at a point between Souchez and Carency. . Pre- vious to theattack, there was a terri- ble bombardment of the German,posi- tiosi.° • "French guns of all' calibres were firing together for two hours without interruption. It was lilte an earth- quake. Suddenly, punctually at ten o'clock in the morning, the .firing ceased, and the `Charge' was sounded. "We were out of the trenches like lightning. It was wonderful. We 'were like a storm. In ten minutes we had won the first line of : • German trenches. But there was no stopping us. We kept it up hammer and tongs for an hour and a half, taking three lines of the enemy's trenches and driving the enemy infront of us, "By this time all the officers of our company were either killed or wound- ed, so a sergeant took command, and we entrenched ourselves as best we could, but finally had to retire about a hundred yards. "Here I got two wounds. Four in every five of our men were either killed or wounded in that fierce charge," Black hand Business.

THE DAWN OF YOUNG WOMANHOOD Girls upon the threshold' of woman- hood often drift into a decline in spite of all care •arid attention. Even strong and lively girls become weak, depressed, irritable and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood -a crisis in the life of every girl—and prompt measures' should be taken to keep the blood pure and rich with the red tint of health. If the bgdy is not in a healthy condition at this critical stage, grave disorders may result, and: future life become a burden. Deadly con- sumption often follows this crisis in the lives of young women. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have saved thousands of young girls from what might have been life-long invalidism . or early death. They are a blood -builder of unequalled merit, strengthening weak nerves and producing a liberal supply of rich, red blood, which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Over and over again Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have proved their value to women and girls whose health was failing. Miss Jennie Gereau, St. Jer- ome, Que., says: "At the age of eighteen my health was completely shattered; I. was suffering:; from anaemia with all its attendant evils. The trouble forced me to leave school. I suffered from headaches, was 'tired andbreathless at the least exertion. I had no appetite, and my face and lips were literally. bloodless. A good friend advised the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and thanks to this great medicine 'I am again enjoying good health, with a good appetite, good color and a spirit of energy." Every anaemic girl • can be made well and strong through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 front.

So rapid were the judicial methods of Sir George • Jessel that he some- times did not sit in court because there were no. cases left for him to try. A judge sat on the judgment seat, A goodly judge was he. He said unto the Registrar, "Now call a cause -for me." "There is no cause," said R agistrar, And laughed aloud with glee; "A Jessel's wit has despatched them all; I can call ne cause for -thee." The King's Bench judges are rapid- ly getting into the same position, says. the London Globe. They started their sittings this week with only thirty- five jury actions in their' lists, and they have disposed of them all. If that nation is happy which has no liti- Potion the war promises to secure for at least this measure of bliss. Fourteen Shot at Liege. Everywhere throughout Belgium the Germans' are redoubling their se- verity. They suspect the Belgian population of favoring the 'national cause. At Liege fourteen persons were shot.-. At Brussels a fireworks maker named Ricard was shot for having struck a German. At Eccloo a stu- dent was condemned to eight days .id prison and $100 fine for wearing a French tri -color cockadein his hat. Posters in Antwerp notify Belgians that they can obtain German natural- ization within 48 hours. The Com= tesse Joghe-Ardoye was arrested at Ghent for wearing a medallion with the portrait of King Albert. , • GUARD BABY'S HEALTH IN THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerousto children. The complaints of that season, which: are cholera in- fantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentry, come on so quickly that often a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is '111. The mother must be on her • guard to prevent ' these troubles, or if they do come on sud- denly, to cure • them. No, other medi- cine is of such aid to mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tab- lets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are absolutely safe.

Dr. Louis Legroux, of the Paris In- stitute, has made the declaration that neither soldiers nor civilians in France need have any fear of the cholera. Cholera microbes are de- stroyed, the doetor says, by other mi- crobes that develop during the process of the decorriPaeition of bodies in the open air. This and other reasons, according to Dr. Legroux, re ,oyes all danger of cholera from decompt,u ng bodies. „ A THRILLING AERIAL. DUEL. French 'Machine Defeats a German Taube..' Among the litany stories of aerial adventure growing out of the war, one of the best is told by Frederick A. Talbot, in The World's Work for June, in a comprehensive survey of the advance in aviation. The hero is an American aviator, Frederick C. Hili, a volunteer serving in ' the French Aviation 'Corps; - One day he was aloft upon a re- coneaissance. The weather was cloudy; so that glimpses; of what was transpiring on the hostile territory be- neath could only be obtained throp.gh rifts in the banks of vapor. While careering through one of these open spaces he caught sight' of : a Taube, and, his machine being fleet, he in- stantly gave chase. The Taube turn- ed, and made for the cover of a bank of clouds, with Hild in hot pursuit. The latter worked his machine up to ninety miles an hour, and was just about to dive into the cover when a German biplane was seen emerging from the cloud. The latter showed no disposition to run. ' It was armed with a machine gun, while the pilot and observer were well equipped with Mauser rifles and pistols. A hot fire was concentrated upon Hild and his machine. The American aviator was caught at a disadvantage, because the attack was unexpected . and' for the reason that the German machine had the commanding position manoeuvring immediately over the French ° aero- plane. This diversion precipitated another denouement. The Taube which had dived into the bank of cloud, ascer- taining that it was reinforced, now turned round and showed fight. Hild was caught between two fires. -The Taube was intent upon ramming' him, while Hild was exposed to a hot.fire. He returned the latter spiritedly, but was threatened by the, Taube. There was only one possible mean's of .. es- cape -to dive . vertically towards_ the - ground. Without a moment's hesita- tion he jammed his elevating lever hard over. The aeroplane quivered and then answered her helm so-com- pletely ocom-pletely that an involuntary looping of the loop appeared imminent. It was a thrilling "nose -ending" dive, the machine being so vertical in, its descent that Hild and his oberver: had to stand, leaning backwards, from which precarious position he let drive a final series of quick shots. The dive was so precipitate and vertical that the German aviators • ceased, firing, thinking that they had sent the French monoplane to its last account and that it would give a final 'exhibi- tion of ploughing. But after a -vertu cal dive of a thousand feet, Hild re- gained control of the aeroplane, eased the descent, regained the horizontal plane • and immediately started to climb with all the speed he could mus - The German machines, realizing that they had been tricked, resumed the pursuit, but Hild now held the ad- vantage. The speed of his machine proved invaluable. The Taube start- ed a"hot chase, but gave it up directly it saw that Hild had regained his ori- ginal altitude and was quite prepared to resume fighting uperations. The Taube turned and flew for its life, but-Hild had his report to give to his commander, so he abandoned attempt- ing pursuit and returned to his own lines. Paper'Money. The Chinese anticipated what we might think to be an essentially mod- ern convenience — banknotes and "paper reioney"-so long ago as 2697 B.C.-4,600 years ago! One such banknote, issued nearly 3,300 years ago, is still preserved in the museum at Petrograd, The Chinese called their notes "flying money," or "con- venient money." They bore the,name of the bank, date of issue, a number, an official signature, its value in words and figures, and; as an addi- tional precaution against forgery and as a help to the ignorant, a pictorial representation in coins of an amount equal to the face value of the note. Holders of the notes were, by an inscription, exhorted to "Produce all you can; spend with economy. It is stated that the notes were printed in blue ink, and made of pa- per woven from the fibre of the mule berry tree. These notes bore also a warning inscription of the penalties of counterfeiting. He Was Disgusted. They were about the roughest, raw- est lot of recruits the sergeant ever had to tackle, He worked hard at them for three hours, and at last thought they were getting into some sort of shape, so he decided totest them. "Right turn!" he barked.. Then be- fore they had ceased to move came another order: "Left turn!" One yokel slowly left the ranks and made off toward the barrack room. "Here, you!" yelled the sergeant, angrily, "where are yon off to?" "Ah've had enough," replied the re - emit, in disgusted tone. "Tha does- n't know tha own mind for two min- eetes: runnin'!" A Nova Seotia Case of 41 interest to All 'Women Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help to. Many People, Halifex, N.S., December 15. --When. interviewed at her home at 194 Argyle St., Mrs. Raverstoek was quite willing to talk, of her peculiarly unfortunate case. "I was always `blue'' and de- pressed, felt weak languid and utterly unix for any work, My stomach was so disordered that I had no appetite. What I did eat disagreed, I suffered greatly from dizziness and sick head- ache and feared a nerous breakdown. Upon my druggist's recommendation T used Dr. Hamilton's Pills, "I felt better, at once. Every day I improved. In six weeks I was,a well. woman, cured completely after differ- ent physicians had failed to help me. It is for this reason that I strongly. urge sufferers with stomach or diges- tive troubles to use Pr. Hamilton's Pills."

Defoe's Great Book for Readers All Over the World. Every nation has found delight in the story of Robinson Crusoe. An article in the Strand Magazine tells' that W. S. Lloyd of Philadelphia has spent years in hunting for rare and curious editions of the immortal work. His agents, it appears, have . had standing orders to buy up all editions that may be found, and he even pos- sesses examples of the story in Latin and Greek. Thirty-three languages are represented in Mr. Lloyd's collec- tion, and these include: Arabic, Per- sian, Turkish and Hebrew. The ;variety' and curious illustra- tions in these manifold editions are a striking feature. There is a first folio of Defoe's great book, however, which has not found its way into Mr. Lloyd's collection, and that is a valued exhibit in Sir John' Soane's very interesting museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields, with which every Londoner is not familiar.

Commander Carlyon Bellairs, the great British naval expert, replied to the recent criticism of the British navy appearing in American news- papers suggesting,' that the navy might try a little initiative occasion- ally, sending submarines to Cux- haven Kiel ' and Heligoland, Com- mander Bellairs said:- "The man who wrote that ought to procure a scale chart and study it for a few minutes with an Alflerican naval officer at his elbow. Then he might learn quite..a lot. Cuxhaven and Kiel are hidden away behind miles of heavily mined sand banks, as well as breakwaters. At Heligo- land there are only a few German torpedo boats and submarines. In naval warfare ' one goes by probabili- ties, not possibilities. The British submarine wouldn't have one chance in a million of getting behind the stone walls' where the Germans hide their fleet. "It is not a question of initiative. What our submarines have done scouting around. Heligoland and around the Dardanelles proves this. It is just a question of common-sense tactics. "The German fleet only needs just to coarse out to sea and leave its stonelocked fortresses for a few hours in - order to get all the trouble it ever will be able to seek."
