-Why 'Commissions in the Imper-
ial Service Often Go Begging.
As one of the reaults of the South African
ever, a number of Australian officers have of
been Offered commissions in Imperial
relatgiements. A few of these offers have been
accepted, but hundreds have been declined.
One reason of the refusals has, of oourse,
been the heevy mess and other expenses in-
eurred by officers,- in Soglish regiments—a
matter to which Mr. Kipling and others
!ewe often directed attention.
Rat there is another difficulty, and this
hes been set forth in, the Australian prees
by an. officer who declined an Imperial com-
mission. The poine that he makes is one
that is liable to be overlooked.
The colonial subaltern—perhaps a person
ef mature years—jOins as junior subaltern
inatead of the lai-of twenty or so. His pa-
sition is intolerable. His ignorance of petty
detail exposes him to the half -contemptuous
pity of all ranke, while he is perpetually
being "got at" hy the adjutant or the cap-
tain for his mistekes.

What is Life to You ?
'If you are a victim cf pile?, as ore person` in every

taring ailments know n to nian.and may well wonder

mate cure isaiwaiting you by means of Dr. Chase's

Benefits of Planting Trees.
-The Department of Education has been
elistributing a book entitled " William Sil-
vering's Surrender," which in an interesting
Ivey tells of the henefite of tree planting,
the best way to do it, and other interesting
facts about forestry. The benefits derived
from trees, briefly stitted, are :
I. Trees protect from fierce and damn-
s.= winds.
'2. Trees are reservoirs -of moieture.
3. Treee make a humid or moist Climate.
4. Trees preserve the springs and" rivers.
6. Trees regulate the flowing of waters.
6, The presenee of treestends to prevent
,summer froc•ts.
7, Trees hinder hail formation.
S. Trees ettract birds—the farmenee
ariendst
9. Trees give shade end protection.
10. Trees become a source of coueidera e
'wealth. f
11. Trees about a farm make it ho
like. 0
It ia to be hoped that the efforts that-, re
being made to encourage the plantin of
trees will boar abundant fruit, and th t e
resulta may be apparent, in a feee e rs,
throughout the province.

The remarkable strength and marvellous
soothing power of Nerviline renders it quite
infallible in rheumatism. Five times steong-
er thee any other remedy, its penetrating

stronger, mire penetrating, more highly

A ca•valryman lead for the second time re-

condition,
Hie comrades Haw a chance the second
time to give him a little lesson. He had
gone to bed and thrust his bare foot out

one of his opure on his naked heel. The

There is another good story being told of
the Rev. John McNeill's experimmes in the

drank a drop of liquor. The co taut use
of liquotafor two years or more le nfirmed
him in the habit. He was dru on the
night of the murder, and in that Condition
engaged in a quarrel with Leonaird Day,
which ended in the death of Day. Who is

of alcoholism at the Bellevue Hospital.
The most frequent form of alcoholism was
periodical dipsomania, and the next was'
'prieudo-dipsomaalia. "As a rule," said Dr.

A, Fatal Answer.
The amart lawyer is always ietent upen
getting at weitanesses in the character o,
the priincipal and witnesses on the othet
side. A. Congreffepan, ae a Washington
paper relates, recently told the story of en.
exploit of his own, when, as au attorney for
the defendant„ !he was examining the com•
plaine,nt in a certain case.
His client, " Het" Wheelock, had gob
into, a quarrel with one " Pat" MeDenalci
over a 'dam trade. The quarrel had gone
so far ehat Mr. lelcInniald had, made ap•
plicatidn to a magistrate to have Wheeloc
bound ever 'to keep thel peace, allegin
that he had threatened :to do him bodil
injury. i .

" No ,, Mr. McDonald," the lawyer.' stied

" Th t. will do, Mr. McDonald," sai
the att rney. The court was alreedy in

. If ou Wish To Talk Well.
Man a girl, intelligent, educated, as our
ideas g , is mortified by her lack of ease in
conver anion. She finds other girlie inferior

game e e call small talk, and is forced to the
conclusion that shallowness le the passport

Perh pa she is self conscious ; perhaps—
let me hispee it—she is selfish,like the man
who sa d— Oh, Robinson is such a' bore !
He's al aye talking about himself and his
affairs, when I want to talk about' my -self
and,m affairs."
Ther is one great reason for this lack of
conver ational power—in too many oases the
art is n ver practised inside the home circle.
No at empt at -pleasant converse is ever
made s ve when visitors are present ; the
various members of the family may gossip
a little Or disoues purely personal affairs,
but th y make no attempt at entertaining
talk.
In p int of fact, the art of conversation is
_like a tune of tennis—one needs the quick-
ness and dexterity of constant practice. In
many usy households the only geueral with-
ering o the family is at meal time --a time
above 11 others when worry should be ban-
idhed, if only for the sake of physical com-
fort. 'et this is the very. time when the
mother will complain of domestic worry, the
father f iiiusiness cares, and the daughters
\
of shin) y free e.
All t is shou d be changed. ,Ie ought to

plaints must be made, let them come at a

and discontented frame of mind. Pleasant
talk, relieved by an occasional laugh, will
be more beneficial than pounds of pills. In
the household there should nob only be an
1 avoidance cf unpleasant topics, but an at-
tempt to find agreeable ones. Each member
of the family should come to the table pre.
pared to say something pleasant.
There is one fact to note especially—the
girl who wants topics of conversation must
read the newspapers. There is no doube
that newspapers and periorlicale are most
useful in giving subjects. for general conver-
sation. The information thus glean,ed is
both timely and popular—just what one

Artists' ErrOre.
There have been some amazing mis-
takes in Academy pictures. There was -
bung a few years ago a picture with a
rainbow with the sun behind it—an ab-
surd physical Impossibility. Few people
noticed it. There is a -well known picture
of a London street which represents all
the traffic on the wrong side of the road-
way, and more remarkable errors have
been made at times. In the famous gal-
lery of the convent of Jesuits at Lisbon
Is a picture in which Adam and Eve are
represented in modern garb, with a pro-
cession ofmonks in the background, and
in a country church In Holland there Is a
painting in which Abraham is depicted as
about to sacrifice Isaac with an old taste;

man named Van Guyt—has represented
Daniel in the den of llons with a pair of

BEGINS IN THE EAR.
THE PRIMARY SEAT OF THAT WOE-
FUL MALADY, SEASICKNESS.
It Is the Organ or Hearing Which
. Firs t Kicks tp the Disturbance
Which Mani
Stomach Con
ests Itself Later In
Seasickness, that Svoeful malady which
first makes the s ifferer afraid he is going
to die and later Iinepires him with terror
for fear he woe't die, is an annoyance
which -brings a shudder to the man or
woman who cdetemplates going any-
where by water. Nearly . everybody
knows what seaSickness is. It is no re-
specter of persoas, but attacks the high
aud the lowly, the rich and the poor.
All kinds of ameliorating agents are
sought and resorted to with religious fee-
vency to quell, the qualm in the epigan-
triun, but withmit avail. Lemons, limes
and all kinds of acids aae used to still the
cyclone going on !in the stothach. 'In the
agony which falows an attack of sea-
sickness any proMise can be exacted of a
victim• in retura for hnmediate relief.
And yet the stemach is not to Winne.
•Nine out of ten 'people will declare the
,,seaf of seasicknees to be the stornact. If
one sbould tell _a man who haa been
through the ordeal that the -seat of the
trouble is not in the stomach, but in the
ear, the integrity ot his mental processes
L
would be serious y questioned. The ex -
victim would pro ably regard himself as
a past. grand master ia all that apper-
tains to sea.sickeess and would. in all ,
probability indigeantly refuse to Helen
to- a learned diseertation on the ear as
having anything to do with seasickness.
And 3 -et it is true that the car is the part
whic.h first kicks up the dieturbance
vhich manifests itself in the stomach

The ear is not Only built to hear with,

efore we can know whether we are
tending up -or lying down we must learn

emporal bone. This bone forms part of
he skull wall. In ehe region of the temple,

etrous portion of the temporal bone,
nd it is in this Portion thnt the balance

hree aemicireulae canals unitilig at their
ase. These ctuiels lie in three different
lanes, and the man, no matter in what
osition he may be, is always in one of
hese planes. If lie falls, he xvill fall in
ne-of these planes. •
These canals heve a oommon base and
re hollow. 'T110 are lined on the inside
nth a membrane in which the filaments

ierve which tells us whether we are erect

vhich only scantily fills them. When we

ommon base of the canals and by its

ormed that we nee in the erect posture.
If, howevere-we change our posture—
or instance, fie down—the fluid in the

ty moves the fluid. Here a new set of
ierve filaments are agitated by the fluid

ooner does one aet of nerve filainents
end warning to tbe seat of origin in the
rain, telling of the direction in which the
an is falling, than another set sends out

he result is a strange confusion of nerve
mpulses taking place in tbat part of the

CHINOOK WINOS.
Fiery Gale. of the Dakotas and the
Cauxes That Produce Them.
"As the Dakotas are maresor less seb-
ject to the inffuences of what are usu-
ally termed `chinoole winds," says a
North Dakota meteorologist,' "it may be
interesting to many to have a. general un-
derstanding of the character as well as
the causes that produce them. It is well
known that. they are particularly noted
for their remarkable heat and extreme
dryness. Mountain reinges aro necessary
for their formation, hence only those lo-
calities adjacent to sueh elevations et-
perience their effects. The principal chi -
nook winds ia this section of the country
reach us from a westerly direction. I
will explain as clearly as I can the for-
mation of these winds.
"We all know that if we pour nlcohol
in the palm of our hand a to,oing senea-
tion is experiencede lIent is reqniree
evaporation, and the cooling poililti011 is
due te loss of heat from our hand rce,
quired in the evaporation of the alcohol.
Accordine to the Taw of .conservation of
energy, no energy is•ever wasted, and the
heat that is required in evaporation will,
again become- liberated through the proc
ess of preeipitation. This is an essantial
fact in the explarsetion of the chinook
wiads. It is also well known that a vol-
ume of ail: at a given temperature and -
pressure, bas a certain capacity for hold-
ing moisture and that it NVO increnee the
temperatnre, -thereby increasing the vol-
ume, we also increase the moisture hold,
iag capacity,• and, invereely, if we .dea
crease the temperature we decrease itS
capacity. There must then be a point in -
this reduction peocess when the air -will
contain a maximum amount of moisture
for that particular temperature and pres-
sure, and any reduction below this will
cause a part of this nioisture to be pre-
cipitated. This point is known as .the
dew point.
"The moist air from elm Pacific moving
landward becomes cooled by coming in
contact with the colder mountain and
still further by expansion dne to eleva-
tion. As the air becomes more ann more
elevated the dew point_ is finally reached,
and precipitation is resumed once more.
By this succession of coolings practically
all the moisture ie deposited on the west-
ward side of the mountain, nnd when it
reaches the summit it is practically dry
air whose temperature is far above the
normal- for that elevation. It is now
ready for its downward journey,' and its
temperature is gradually increased, due
this time to compression, and when it
reaches the plains on the leeward side of
the mountain it is like a. breath from a
furnace in the intensity of its h,eat. Like
an unsaturated eponge, it absorbs all the
moisture in its path, causing the drifts
of snow to vanish ns if by magic, yet not
appreciably increasing the voluthes of the
rlvers and creeks."
FORMS OF PICTURES.
Some People Like One Shape and
Some Another, It Seems.
The form of pictures in use by different
peoples makes clear their visual prefer-
ences. Thus, with rectang,ular pictures
some prefer height rather than width,
and others prefer width rather than
height. There are those _who shoW a
markod preference -for square pictures.
Round, diamond shaped and triangular
forms, have their respective admirers.
Eeamination of several thousand pic-
tures on sale and in private collections
and emanating from the Most diverse
people has interested me in this subject,
and I will give some of my conclusions.
In rectangular pictures the Japanese are
alone, preening those whose width ex-
ceeds thehe height, The English and
Americans do not have marked prefer -
maces in this respect. Other people have
pictures whose width is less than beight,
their taste in this respect being more or
less pronounced, so that the proportion of
high pictures to that of wide pictures is
in the ratio of 2 among the Germans
and French, 3 in Turkey, 4 in Italy, 10
hi' Spain and 15 in Russia. The Slays
delight most of all in the height of their
pictures.
For the square norm the Japanese ex-
hibit the greatest prefereece. Then, in
decreasing order, the Germans, the Eng-
lish, the Russians and finally the Latin
races. The diamond form is appreciated
by the Germans and Italians. The trian-
gular, very seldom seen eliewhere, is oc-
casionally met with in Austria and Bel-
gium. As to pietures of a round form,
they are numerous only in Germany, in
Austria and In Russia.
Two quite interesting peculiarities may
Lin cited. One is the disposition shown
by the Russians to make the right angles
of rectangular pictures disappear, either
by cutting them off by tiro aid of a cir-
cular arc or by adding to them a part of
a circle. The other peculiftrity is fur-
nished hy the Turks, who deligbt in mod-
ifications of the lower side of their rec-
tangular pictures.
Such are the visual preferences among
diverse nations according to the indica-
tion given by their picturen—From the

Audiences Teach Actors.
Every actor can tell dozens of stories
showing how valuable a teacher his audi-
ence bus been to him. Mr. Vezin telle an
ainstructive story of IIenclriehs. The great
German Hamlet same off the stage one
day and said to bis fellow actor, "1 have
learned the effect at last which I have
been attempting for years." "Well,"
said his friend, "but they laughed at
you" "Yes," replied Hendrichs, "but
that laugh has taught me how I win to-
morrow make them weep." NearlY all
of us have been cured of some trick or
taught sonic truth in a similar way, nad
the silent education is always being car-
ried on by the bond which connects us in
smile mysterious svay with the awe in-
spiring aggregate of human souls that
make up an audience.
St. Peter's.
The largest cathedral in the world is
St, Peter's at Rome, on the site where it
is said St. Peter was interred. The total
length of the interior is 6121/2 English
feet; transept, 446% feet; diameter cu-
pola, 193 feet; height of dome from pave-
ment to top of the cross, 448 feet. It
was begun in A. D. 1450, dedicated in
1626, but not finished until 1880. Forty-
three popes lived and died during the
process of building. The cost is set down
at $T0,000,000.
