As a result of . the men having been called to the colors, the number of women emplgyed in Government bureaus and offices in Germany has gradually increased until now the female employes are in a decided majority, says the North German Ga. zette. The rate of increase in the em- ployment of women in office work during 1915 is shown by the figures during each three-month period. Of these new employes the women formed 40 per cent. in the first quarter of the year, 48 in the second, 48 in the third and 52 in the last. Another feature brought out by the report of the State Insurance Fund is the rapid increase fry the num- ber of young persons taking office jobs. While in the' first few months e following the outbreak of the war number of new . employes under 18 years old was smaller than that those over 18, a sharp change in the average age of the applicants was noted in December, 1914, and the data for 1.915 shows that the number of em- ployes under 18 hired during that year was 184,461, against 83,813 who had passed that age. Several thousand officers and em- ployees of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way Company enlisted for active mili- tary duty with the Canadian Expedi- tionary Forces,and the majority of them are now in Europe, bravely bat- tling for Canada and the Empire. Reservists As particulars of Army are not available, these lists of those who have given up their lives for their country or been wounded in action are necessarily incomplete, and do not. therefore indicate fully, the extent to which the Company's' officers and em- ployees , have participated in , the great struggle.

Cholera infantum, diarrhoea, dysentery and stomach troubles are rife at this time and often a precious little life is lost after only a • few hours illness. The mdther who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occasional use of the Tab- lets • prevents stomach and bowel troubles, or if trouble cemes suddenly as it generally does—the Tablets will bring the baby safely through. •They are sold by medicine dealers or, by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,: Brockville, Ont. _ GUNS ON SNOWCLAD PEAKS Balled by Electricity—How French Clean Rodents Out. Numerous have been the methods employed by the soldiers in the French trenches to kill the rats which constitute a veritable plague in the western war zone; but perhaps none has been so interesting—and so effec- tive—as the electric method. A trough is excavated along a rat -run adjoin- ing the trenches, and over this are placed three wires running parallel to each other. A constant supply of cur- rent is maintained in the wires, which are spaced only a few inches apart. The rats, in crossing the trough, come in contact with the wires, resulting in immediate death. It is reported that hundreds of rats are killed each week by this method. Elephants leo Cwards. • •".' The fear an elephant has for a rat has • often been spoken of as an ex- ample of colossal cowardice. But it is nothing of the kind. The elephant, when captive and in chains, has every reason to regard with terror the little rodent, ' which, iii the still watches of the night, gnaws the toe- nails of the helpless pachyderm. Not much of this sort of thing is required to make the huge creature lame. The Reason. "Why did Maud, break her engage - silent with Jack?" "Because the engagement had brok- en him," Family quarrels are never serious unless the kissing and making up ceremonies are omitted. The attendance the first year of the Canadian National Exhibition was 101,000. It ran three weeks. Last year there was a daily average attendance of 72,000 for 12 days, a total of 864,000. Difficulties of War Preparations in Mountain Regions. A description of the ;difficulties which have been overcome by 'the Ital- ians on that part of the front `severe the fighting takes place on mountain' peaks coated with eternal snow is given by a correspondent of the Lon- don. Daily Mail, be- hindvillages in the lower ground, the front ha e'been-a'yretcsel'• ",.r°rn their accustomed appearance of sleepy comfort. In their streets are swarms of soldiers on their way to the front or back from it for a holiday. Thous- ands are camping out in the neigh- borhood of the villages or billeted on the inhabitants. Constant streams of motor vehicles rumble through the villages on their way up the steep road, bearing ammunition, food and supplies of all sorts to the batteries, trenches and dugouts on the peaks. The road over which these vehicles travel was before the wax a mere hill path—now the military engineers have transformed it into a modern road "graded, metalled and carried by cunningly devised spirals and turns three-quarters of the way up the mountains." The correspondent+ says: "It is a notable piece of military engineering, but it is not merely that. It will serve as an artery of com- merce when it is no longer needed for the passage of guns and army service wagons. There is nothing tempor- ary or makeshift about it. Rocks have been blasted to leave a passage for it and solid bridges of stone and steel thrown across rivers. "Because the Austrians started with the weather gauge in their fav- or, being on the upper side of the great ridges, it was necessary for the Italians toy get+ their guns as high as they could. The means by which they accomplished these tasks were described to me. They would seem incredible if one had not ocular de- monstration of the actual presence of the cannon among these inaccessible crags. "There are some of them on the ice ledges of the Ortler nearly 10,000 feet above the sea level, in places which it is by way of an achievement for the amateur climber to reach with guides and ropes and porters and nothing to take care of but his own skin. But here the Alpini and Frontier Guides had to bring up the heavy pieces, hauling them over the snow sio'f,es and swinging them in midair across chasms and up knife edged precipices, by ropes passer over timbers wedged somehow into the rocks. I was shown a photograph of a party of these pioneers working in these snowy soli- tudes last winter. They might have been a group of Scott's or Shackle ton's men tailing in the Antartic wild" erness."

A young man was stopped at the door of a fashionable church by the sexton with the inquiry: • "Are you related to the bride or bridegroom?" "No," was the answer. "Then," the sexton said, "you will pardon me for asking what interest you have in a ceremony that is to be of the quietest character?" "I am," the young man announced, sadly, "I am the defeated candidate."

An revoirl' The authorities have found that 15 months' schooling is sufficient to give an Alsatian boy or girl a thor- ough grounding in the language and literature which were once forbidden. "One of the pupils of one of the schools which I visited is a girl of 12. She was chosen to present a bouquet of flowers to a certain high personage who was visiting the district. 'I knew,' said the administrator, 'that she would say something apt and to the point.' The high personage, as he accepted the flowers, asked the child whether she was fond of France. To his hor- ror she replied, in French, of course, 'No, sir; I am not fond of France.' There was an awkward pause, which the child obviously enjoyed, and then, with a wicked twinkle in her eye, she finished her sentence, `I adore France; This pupil gave me a message for the English people, which I am happy to transmit. "'Please, monsieur,' she said, 'tell the English to hurry up and win."

"By judicious speculation." "And how did Jones lose his for- tune?" "Dabbling in stocks." The speed of the wind is measured by means of an ingenious instrument called the aneometer. It is like a weather vane, with cups instead of letters at the ends of its arms. The cups, catching the wind, whiz round, and thus turn the central shaft. This passes down into a box in which are several dials. The indicators of those dials are connected with the shaft, and move• according to its revolutions. Thus the number of revolutions of the cup in a certain time gives the -exact speed in miles per hour. The Toronto Board of Trade urged the C.N.E. directors to run the Fair for three months as far back as 1885, but the management thought two weeks quite long enough. A Chance for the Boys. The Prize.

Warner Allen, the representative of the British Press with the French army, describes in the following dis- patch the rapid progress the Alsatian children have made in the study of French since the welcome invasion of the French: "After 45 years French is once again taught in the schools of Alsace. When the French marched victorious- ly into Alsace they marched from the frontier toward the Rhine beneath a rain of flowers which moved the Ger- mans to send a messege to the rebel- lious Alscatians: 'You have received the French with roses, but we shall return with forget-me-nots l'—and no- thing could be more surprising than the extraordinary progress made by the children in learning French in the interval since then. "French has become for then a fam- iliar tongue.

Fortunately, the matter never reached the House. She Knew a Windfall. "Why, these apples are dirty," com- plained the young housekeeper. "Well, yes, they are," admitted the farmer. "You see they are windfalls, and that is why I can sell them so cheap." "You mean they've fallen from the trees on to the ground, but they are otherwise all right?" the customer in- quired; then, proud of her ready un- derstanding, she bought them. Several days later she called the farmer's wife on the telephone. "I ordered the best cucumbers for pickling," she said` sharply, "and you've sent me windfalls!" "Sent what?' gasped the farmer's wife. "Windfall • cucumbers! I can tell; you needn't think I can't. There's dirt on them!"
