The informal, but none the less enthusiastic welcome given to the Scots Guards on their return from the front recently, will doubtless be surprise.

I don't see why you say the country is such a terrible place in which to live." "I've been thinking of that myself, dear," he said setting down the pails he had brought in. "I've thoroughly enjoyed this quiet morning feeding and watering the stock. The children are having the time of their lives, and I've been wondering why I was so crazy to go to the city.

He must have some money to go to Toronto on a wedding trip. Ma.ybe if I had stayed here I could have had a farm too. The trouble with this farm was that my stepfather was old and he could not manage. I can see things in a different light now." One evening after the snow melted, leaving the roads high and frozen, a big automobile drove to the farm- house and Billy Richards asked then all to put on their wraps and go with him. "Nellie and I got home this morning and she wants you to one over," he explained. "She has sup- per about ready." The Winters werealmost speech= Less as they Entered the transformed fihen:house.

(The End.) TORPEDOESEVEN TIMES. Ancient Mariner of England Has a Proud Record. Wm. J'essop, of Hull, (England), who is over 70 years at age and holds the record of having been torpedoed seven times, told the Lord Mayor of Hull, at a sailors' gathering, that although he had only recently demobilized, he was now considered too old for the merchant service. "I have never been frightened ot either mine or submarine." he said, although I have seen some dreadful things in this torpedoing business which I do not care to speak about. When you have been torpedoed once, twice, three, and more tines you begin to get used to it; •••that is. the • experi- ence of seamen generally who have gone through it." -a• He Fooled His Friends. When the United States troops drove the Germans out of the St. Mi- hiel salient the job was done so quick- ly and cleverly that a lot of booty fell into their hands. There was one pri- vate at Thiaucourt who took a chance, but he could not resist the temptation. When his mates first saw him they were uncertain whether he was the Kaiser or the Crown Prince as they rushed forward to make the capture He was riding a German officer's horse he had on a German officer's helmet and on his chest was pinned the iron cross. all left by German officers in their rush to safety. The squad ot Americans bent upon making an, im- portant capture were tremendously disgusted to find that it was only Pri- vate Jones of the infantry. Copper in Manitoba. The copper discoveries of Manitoba are rapidly assuming considerable magnitude, Prof! Wallace, Commis- sioner foryNorthern Manitoba, states that, in one copper mine, as yet un- developed, 20,000,000 tons of ore aver- aging $8.75 a ton in value have been blocked out. He estimates that,,when r.allway facilities are available, this area will provide employment for 1,000 men for about fifteen years. • for use. Eggs can be put up in smaller crocks, and the eggs put in the crock first should be used first. Inspect the crock from time be time and replace with cool boi]eci water any water that has evaporated. When the eggs are to be used, re- move them, as desired, rinse in clean, cold water and use immediately. Eggs preserved in water-glaes can be used for soft boiling or poach- ing up to November. Before boiling such eggs take a needle and prick a tiny hole in the large end of the shelf to keep them from cracking. The eggs are satisfactory for frying until about December. From that time until the end of the usual stor- age period—that is, until March --- they can be used for omelettes, scrambled eggs, custards, cakes and general cookery. As the eggs age, the white be- comes thinner and harder to beat. The yolk membrane becomes more delicate and it is correspondingly difficult to separate the whites from the yolks. Sometimes the white of the egg is tinged pink after very long keeping in water -glass. This is due, probably, to a little iron which is in the water -glass, but which does not injure the egg for food purposes. Flowers and Chickens. Chickens and flower gardens have" long been considered an impossible combination, but for several. years I have been able to combine the two in a more profitable manner. The yard where I keep my coops of hens with baby chickens has little or no, shade. Having a • few' dahlia roots that I do not need in my bower garden I planted a row in this chicken yard twelve years :ago. This soil was very rich, the plants made rapid growth and the baby chicks did not disturb thein. Each 'time I ,gave the fowls fresh water I .threw the. stale water from the chickens' think- ing receptacles on the plants. 'This added nothing to my work. The growing chickens were kept in this yard all summer and always sought the shade of the dahlias dur eng the heat of the day. As the blooms faded . I picked them off and threw them on the ground where the chicks devoured them greedily. Since dahlia tubers are used for food in certain localities I knew the blooms Could not harm the fowls; in fact, I belieye� ,•jhey are nou:rishi�ng and beneficiajj.' The next year I increased i. my dahlia; planting, saving all of the tubers the first fall and buying some new ones in the spring. The result is that this chicken yard that form- erly had been far from attractive 'is now one of the show places on the premises; aiassersby stop to look . at it. So many stopped and asked for bouquets that I put out a sign during the .summer: "Fresh Eggs and Flow- ers, 26 cents a: dozen." Part of the money made from the sale of the flowers two years ago was used to buy, egge from blooded April. Naw fades the last long streak of snow, Now bourgeons every maze of quick About the flowering squares. and thick By ashen roots the violets blow. Now rings the woodland loud and long, The distance takes a lovelier clue, .And drowned in yonder living blue The lark becomes a sightless song. Now dance the lights on lawn and lea, The flocks are whiter down the vale, Aud milkier every milky sail, On winding stream or distant sea. Where now the seaman pipes, or dives In yonder gleaming green, and sly The happy birds, that change their sky To build and brood; that live their lives, From land to land, and in any breast Spring wakens too; :and my regret Becomes an April- violet, Aud buds and blossoms like the rest.

Much the same thing, too, hap- pened when the C,I.V•'s returned from South Africa two years later. In this case, however, the authorities, warned by their previous experience, made laborate preparations to keep a passage clear for the soldiers. Welcomed by 2,000,000. Vain effort! So great was the enthusiasm of the welcoming crowds in the Strand and Fleet street that many of the companies had almost literally to fight their way through, and were consequently somewhat late for the banquet prepared in their honor by the city fathers at the Guildhall. Yet another historic hrtmecoming of the kind was that in which' Lord Wolseley figured in October, 1812, when he lecl his victorious troops, fresh from their triumph.; in Egypt, through Londo-a to Whitehall. On this occasion the streets were •superb ly decorated, and over two million. people, it was estimated, were pres- ent,o do honor to the heroes of Tel el-Kebir. Eight thousand excursion trains were run to London from all parts of the country in May, 1856, laden with people desirous of being present at the homecoming of the trellis who had fought in the Crimean War. The scenes in the streets on May 26th, when the • regiments . marched to St. -James'"Park, where they were review- ed and prsonally thanked by Queen Victoria, were unprecendented, while at .night the whole metropolis was a .blaze of illuminations and fireworks, the first rocket being sent up by the Queen herself from the roof of Buck - Ingham 'Palace.
