HOW THEY FIGHT.
w
Behavior of.the Different Nationali-
ties in Battle.
As to the qualities and characteris-
tics of the various non -Teutonic sol-
diers of Europe, German army officers
speak interestingly, and not without
generosity. The French soldier is
gallant, nervous, and very brave, only
it is difficult to make him return a
second or third time into the same
fire. The English fighter is dogged,
and individually resourceful. The
Italian, though ferocious in assault,
is discouraged by failure. He goes on
one impulse and hates to repass his
own dead for a second charge. That
is how a German sees three of his ad-
versaries. As to a fourth, he volun-
teers nothing, but if he is pressed, he
will add, "The Russian is terrible."
The meaning of that assertion de-
velops slowly, with many hesitations.
It is not that the individual Russian
soldier is particularly terrible. No,
that is not what he means to say. The
Russians cannot be singularized. You
have to think of Russians, infinite in
plurality, a slow-moving, ominous,
imposing mass. They come in lines,
ten and twelve deep, heedless and
heavy, so controlled by their own mo-
, meatus that they cannot stop. They
will go anywhere, into anything again
and again, as if they did not know
how to be afraid., "The only thing
you can do," says the German officer,
"vis to slaughter them and pray that
you will have ammunition enough to
keep it up."
When a•man does a fool thing that
gets him into trouble be is sure to
say that "accidents will happen."

A MOMENT OF PERIL.
Maid Stuck a Lighted Candle Into -the
"Black Sand."
There is a striking illustration in
Das Buch fur Alle of the fact that it
is not necessary to roam over the
world to find adventure, The German
merchant of the story found it in his
own peaceful house, in the quiet
town of his birth. It happened on his
daughter's wedding day, about sixty
years ago. The happy father was al-
ternately welcoming the guests and
bustling about attending to final de-
tails.
In one of the halls he met a maid
carelessly carrying a lighted candle
without its holder. He did not rebuke
her, as she was not one of the regu-
lar servants, but had only been
brought in to help for the occasion. In
a short time -she returned from the
cellar, her arms full of bottles, but
with no candle. The absence of the
light sent a sickening thought sweep-
ing over the merchant. Only the day
before several barrels of black pow-
der had been stored in the cellar, and
one of them had been opened in order
to get a sample for a customer.
"Where is that candle?" he asked
her quickly, 'with his heart in his
mouth.
"I had my hands full and couldn't
bring it up," the maid answered.
"Where did you leave it?"
"I stuck it in the black sand in the
open barrel," she explained.
But the merchant had not waited to
hear her out. Into the hall and down
the cellar steps he stumbled. His
knees were shaking, his breath caught
in his throat; death already seemed to
have its grip upon him.
Just beneath the room in which the
guests were assembled stood the fatal
barrel, the burning tallow candle up-
right in the powder. To his horror,
he saw a long piece of burned -out
wick sagging in the reddish flame. If
that spark should h Id fall.i
He made a
desperate move toward the candle—
and stopped. The slightest touch or
breath might shake that glowing bit
of wick into. the powder. He heard
the sound of laughter from above, and
he trembled. He stared at the light,
powerless to move.
Suddenly the end of the -wick nod-
ded, and with its movement the mer-
chant recovered from his momentary
paralysis. Cautiously he thrust both
hands toward' the candle; then, with
a sudden squeeze, he smothered the
wick and flame in his grasp. Never
relaxing his hold, he carried the
candle the length of the cellar. Then
he fainted.
•
The Blushing Brides. •
"Why are brides generally expected
to be blushing as they walk down the
aisle?"
"I suppose," replied Suffron Long,
glancing cautiously about and lower-
ing his voice, "that a good many of
them blush to think how they are go-
ing to subdue the lords of creation
after they've safely got them."

charge, and there being others in
close proximity, the officer of quar-
ters at once gave orders to clear the
battery. Before the order could be
obeyed, two boys were knocked over
by the ignition of a second charge,
"A. naval chaplain went back,
brushed the burning propellant off
them and pulled them out, and got
badly burned about the face and
hands in doing so. With every fea-
ture disfigured and almogt blinded,
he was led, almost by force, below.
The pain must have been excrutiating.
But he protested he was an absolute
fraud, not a bit hurt, and that they
ought to be giving their attention to
people who were seriously injured,
"Another chaplain, bit in the spine,
was told by the doctor that he only
had a few hours to live. He sat in the
chair, conversing cheerily with those
around him till death carne—by far

QUEENS SOLD ALMANACS.
Once a Special Privilege to Say Who's
Who.
The sale of almanacs was once a
lucrative monopoly. Queen Elizabeth
granted the sole right to publish "al-
manacs and prognostications" to the
Stationers' Company, and James I.
extended the privilege to the Univer-
i sities of Oxford and Cambridge, but
for centuries only these three bodies
were permitted to issue printed eaten
dars. The monopoly ended when the
• claim of the king to the privilege of
granting or withholding permission to
issue calendars—a survival, perhaps,'
from days when kings asserted their
right to regulate all things, including
even the time• and seasons—was de-
finitely disproved and proclaimed non-
existent. Now anybody can say who's
who anywhere.—London Chronicle.

WARNING TO THE PUBIC.
Parcels for Prisoners of War Must
Be Strongly Packed.
The Canadian Post Office Depart-
ment has been notified by the British.
Post Office that many parcels sent
from Canada to prisoners of war in
Germany are being received in Lon-
don in a damaged condition, so that
frequently they have to be repacked
before they can be forwarded to Hol-
land for . transmission to Germany.
The British Post Office adds that in
most cases the damage appears to be
due to the fact that the parcels were
inadequately packed by the senders.
The public are warned, therefore,
that parcels for prisoners of war, un-
less they are very strongly packed,
will probably arrivein such condition
as 'to be of little or no use to the re-
cipients.
Ordinarily thin cardboard boxes,
such as shoe -boxes, and thin wooden
boxes should not be used; nor does a
single sheet of ordinary brown paper
afford sufficient protection. Even
where proper materials are used, it
is important that the contents should
be tightly packed so as not to ,phake
about during transit. The following
forms of packing are recommended:
(1) Strong double cardboard or
strawboard boxes. Those made of
corrugated cardboard and having lids
which completely enclose the sides of.
the box are ,the most suitable. (2)
Tin boxes such as are used for pack-
ing biscuits. (8) Strong wooden
boxes. (4) Several folds of stout
packing paper.

CHILDHOOD AILMENTS
Childhood ailments in most cases
come through some derangement of
the stomach or bowels. Baby's Own
Tablets have been proved by thou-
sands of mothers to be the greatest
medicine known for the cure of these
ailments, simply because they regu-
late the bowels and sweeten the stom-
ach. Concerning them Mrs. Napoleon
Lambert, St. Ignace, Que., writes;
"Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent
medicine for childhood ailments and
I am well pleased with their use."
The Tablets are sold by medicine deal-

EASY TO MARE AND COSTS LITTLE
Catarrh is such an insidious disease
and has become so prevalent during the
past few years that its treatment should
be understood by all,
Science has fully proved that catarrh
is a constitutional disease and therefore
requires a. constitutional treatment. i
Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches
seldom if ever give lasting benefit and
often drive the disease further down the
air passages and into the lungs.
If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal
deafness or head -noises, go to your
druggist and get one ounce of Parmint
(Double strength). Take this home and
add to it 3 pint of hot water and 4
ounces of granulated sugar ; stir until
dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times
a day.
This will often bring quick relief from
the distressing head -noises. clogged nos-
trils should open, breathing become easy
and mucus stop dropping into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic
action which makes it especially effect-
ive in cases where the blood has become
thin and weak. It Is easy to make, .
tastes pleasant and costs little, Every
person who wishes to be free from this
destructive disease should give this
treatment a trial.

Salute Suitable for a General.
The recruit was having his first turn
on sentry duty. "Now, remember
your salutes," the corporal warned
him. "If you see a lieutenant wear-
ing two stars, slope arms. For a cap-
tain, with three stars, slope arms also.
The major has a crown on his straps,
and you present arms. For the col- •
onel, who has stars and a crown, you
present arms and turn out the guard." ,
When he was left alone the recruit
went over these orders again and
again. Suddenly his musing was in-
terrupted by the approach of an .of-
ficer. This was a general, and the
recruit did not know what to do for
him. "And which might you be?" he
asked bluntly, unable to recognize the
badge of the officer's rank. "I'm the
general," replied the officer affably.
"Sure, now, and are ye?" exclaimed
the recruit in consternation. "Then

do if I give you a bit of bayonet ex-
ercise?"
