A Weekly Talk with dome
by Long Distance
lirsaid Mr. Wynelham-Ring, Banker, to his secretary; "Have;
EY don't you talk home by Long Distancs is-ea:lone?"
good talk with your mother occasionally; it will do you good.'
The young woman, an invaluable aid to the busy banker, had not
been at her best for some time, and her work was suffering.
"I never thought of telephoning," she confessed when the sug-
gestion was made, "I'll surely try it!"
She was simply homesick; her employer had guessed right!
Those weekly talks with her home have made a wonderful dif-
ference in the girl's life. Her health, her work, her general
outlook on life have alt reflected the change.
Long Distance did it! it is doing the same thing for hundreds
by bridging the gulf between them and -far-away home and
friends. Station -to -Station service with low Evening and Night
rates, has brought Long Distance with-
in the -reach of everyone.

Lard Allenby's great campaign in

"However, in the middle of this
eulogy of the British Military In;el-
ligence Service WO 1111181 SLOP long
moult to say a few unkind words,
without mentioning names, of intel-
ligence officers who talked too much.
"The public has often been regaled
with stwies of the Dri:ish Secret Ser-

great vaine--to act as a test of reti-
cence of those connected with it, and

results are produced by hard work,
great diligence, untiring watchful-
ness and the paiustaking collection
Ind collation of every possible form
of information. .
'During the later part of the
First Battle of Ypres I received front
Lord Kitchener the most circutn-
itantial reports of the despatch and
arrival of German reinforcements
on tile western front. Those reports
amanated from Amsterdam and cre-
ated alarm and de8pondency in Los -
ion, when Lord Kitchener communi-
cated them to the Cabinet without
havink them first properly verified.
"I well remember Mr. Asquith
coming to my office at St. Omer and
my telling the Prime Minister that
1 felt sure they had come direct
from the German general staff; that
their object was to conceal the with-
drawal of larger masses of German
troops from Flanders to Poland; and
I was able to assure Mr. Asquith
from. incontrovertible evidence in
my possession that the battle was
practically over." •
Dining Car Run by .Electricity.
There was recently on one of Eng-
land's math lines a unique Service,
that of electric cooking for the din-
ing cars.) The train thus unusually
equipped, itself possesses many ex-
ceptional features. It consists of five
coaches, Which are run on six bogies
only, these bogies being placed un-
derneath the junction of two car-
riages, thus linking up Use carriages
on what is known as the Articulated
system. This arrangement gives very
easy running and Makes it possible
to shorten the connections between
the carriages.
In the kitchen all the cooking is
done electrically. The equipment in-
cludes a water boiler, a grill, a
steaming oven, a roasting oven, vege-
table boilers, steaming pans, hot
plates, hot cupboards, fish fryere,
kettles, eto. This kitchen is callable
of furnishing meals for 78 persons
at one, sitting, and over 100 Maxima
have been cooked and served on one
trip. The electrical energy for the
cookers is obtained from two dyne -
mos driven through belts from the
axles of the carriage.

are set up outside the hut of the

affluence. Sometimes they are so
large that they ean be shifted onlir

even when they change bands they
are often left in their place before

showing that they are 'hider new

though it now lies under several
hundred feet of water and never can
be salvaged, the owner is still per..
milted to use it for making purchase
and will eventually bequeath it to his
descendents

somewhat similar circumstances.
Oddly enough it is not the men who
have petrel wives, but the wives who
have plural 'husbands. Polyandry,
and not polygamy, appears to be the
s in which so easily besets the
Yappers.
So far as we are aware. no effort
has been mm ade to wean thefrom
this evil habit, and as both men
and women seem quite satisfied
with it, there may be some 31313-
cults" in doing so. Whether the
practice was established, as in cer-
tain parts of Asia, as a result of a
preponderance of men, or whether
it is merely a racial custom, like
rubbing noses, is not explainal In
certain uncivilized countries, where
women are largely outnumbered by
the men, some form of polyandry
is almost certain to be practiced,
just as a prsaanderance of women
leads M polygamy. It is said that
the inhabitantit of Yap differ from
other human beings, in being devoid
of sexual jealousy. The woman,
who may have a dozen husbarals, is
impartial in (her favors, -and the
husbands sliew no more sense of
rivalry than is apparent in families

is, however, one husfband becomes
infatuated with the common wife
and sore returns his affections, they
may, if they can escape from the
'home, or rather the hall, where
they- have been dwelling, fly to
the country outside. They are then
permitted to establish themselves
and ding to each other. Sometimes
the fortunate husband is expected to
make a handsome contribution to-
ward supplying 'his late fellow -
husbands with a new wife. The
aim is, however, to supply a wife
at .a ininimum of cost, and raids are

The islanders were terrified 'by these

toward the white man now is one
rather of timidity than cordiality.

ON THE SAILOR'S TONGUE
If, as has hien 'laid, dialect de-
notes an aloofness of the speakers
from intercourse with everyday life
and .the King's English then
the
most 'insular; for they have a dialect,
or, 'better, a jargon which is not with,
in the comprehension of the civilian
Or "shoreoloafer," -as a bluejacket
may call him. Were a civilian sud-
denly transported into the Lower
Deck, or among the officers, especially
the younger ones, he would moat prob-
ably find himself in a state of be-
wildered ignorance for some days,
till in time the meanings of their
words came to him like,—as they
might say,—"having everything on a
sifiit yarn," that is, ready to start
at once.
But the sailor -man's speech is
something which no civilian can ever
hope to master fully, for it is a thing
of the Senior Service, and has been
built up these hundred years and
snore. The mast -and -yards talk of
the times of Howe and Nelson is re-
inforced with terms derived from the
Navy of to -day. An Officer ot other
may be told by a blunt-ton.gued meas -
mate that he is "clucking like an ash
hoist," because he is "two ends aial
the bight of a fool" (the "bight" of a
rope—the loop lying between its
ends). 'Phis one hears in the modern
Navy vsith its mechanical contrap-
tion for clearing the ash from tee
stokehold.
There is much good natured chaff
underlying certain of the sobriquets
the sailor uses daily, as when he
terms the carpenter "chips," and the
carpenter's mate and Ms men the
"waodspoilers," and the stokers as
"cliaker-knotters." Married ship-
mates he designates as "bundle men,',
though it is not clear Whether the
bundle refers to the wife or the little
"bundle", she may be nursing. Also
in another of the sai/orman's allegor-
ical expressions ft means a collection
of good things—"What's your bun-
dle, matey?" Again with singular
aptness he names -the signal -Men
sbunting-tossera," 'blue lights" in-
dicates Phe Gunner, and "atmospber-
ics," "sparks" or "juicey,;" the wire-
less operator or telegraphist, who is
also called "angel" on 'account of the
wings and forked lightning of his
distinguishing badges.
"Bullocks" or "leatherneoks" is the
seaman's fond appellation for the
men of the Royal Marines, though
sometimes one who has beet • on., the
(Mediterranean station refers to them
as "Port Mahon sodgers," and there-
by maintains :historical continuity be-
ginning from the latter days of the
eighteenth/century, when the marines
garrisoned Port Mahon in the Island

mates "matloes" (derived from the

A man in the Navy does not grum-

Angry, is "under the truck," or 'Minib-
us' the riggin." In the mess, which
he calls "the house," or "the -cottage"
he may have for dinner a "pheasant"
or a "eataight bake," or a "burnt of-
ering. which means a joint of meat
baked ataelf. accasiou arises
there is "schooner on the rockti"--
ineat baked with potatoes .round it.
Pudding he dismisses as "duff" or
"spotted dog," but plum -pudding to'
him is "figgy doff." Food as a whole ,
-he refers to as "mungey," and when
he buys a tine of sardines at the
canteen he asks for a "coffin o'
sharks," together with the "pang"

very few—of the dialect whicil per-

he does not like to be termed a "Jack

with a "Jack Slialloo" or a "sailor'
is an 'expression indicating useless-
ness and contempt. To call him a
"good sailor -man," is the highest
compliment he seeks.
What is moat markworthy ia his
