The Brussels Post, 1914-8-20, Page 2The Scarlet Of It Marie EeIna Carroll was madly in love with her husband. She was else jealous ,o! him, Henry Oar - roll was not only handsome, but PO' ssed of a magnetism that seemed to draw every woman to his feet in worship. At least, eo Marie Edna imagined. Tho Carrells had not been long married, and Henry's business af- fairs were often of a baffling na- ture, He never told his young wife of these things. He did not want to worry her. He merely out down her •allowance and grumbled at hard times. Also, it was his belief that the less a woman knows of her hus- band's bueiness the better for him and her. It was, perhaps, this at- titude on her husband's part that made. Marie Edna so curious—even suspicioes. He treated her as a child, a spoiled child, and Marie . Edna wanted to be treated as a grownup. One night they •were sitting in the living room. Henry was ab- sorbed in his newspaper. Marie Edna was looking at him with that longing that a wife so often has for coversation when her husband site comfortably before the fire, paper in one hand, cigar in the other. • The telephone rang. Henry reached for the instrument. "Hello!" he said carelessly. Marie Edna heard the accents of a feminine voice at the other end of the line. "You don't say 1" "Pll depend upon you. Good- , bye." It was Henry's part to the con- versation. He returned to his pa - but when her eyes fell on Marie Edna she etopped short, "I beg your pardon," she said, "there must be some mistake. This is Mrs. Carroll's hat." "I am Mrs. Carton," replied Mario Edna, "and rely husband or- dered the hat." The saleswoman bit her lip. "This hat won't do for you at all.'' "No," said Marie Edna; "it is hideous, I wonder how my hus- band ever happened to select it. He likes quiet things on me," "I'll show you something else," quickly put in the saleswoman; something more to your style." But the maggot that drove Othello mad was working in Marie Edna's brain, "Did Mr. Carroll order this hat himself ?" Again the saleswoman was con- fused. A business -like young we - man stepped from the elevator and saved the Situation : "How dare you show my hat to customers?" she demanded of the speechless saleswoman. Then her glance fell on Marie Edna, and she understood in a flash. "You are Mrs. Henry Carroll, aren't you 1" the newcomer smiled. "Perhaps you've heard your hus- band speak of me. I am Miss Mar - quern. By telephone the °thee night I agreed to work overtime to get out some maps vital to the suc- cess of the trade he is working on. I got out the maps. That's why I ordered the bill for this hat sent to him." "Oh," came understandingly from Marie Edna. "Ah," sighed the saleswoman, in relief. A few hours later Marie Edna nestled in her husband's arms, "I have some news for you, dear" he was saying, "but first I want to apologize for my ill temper these past weeks. I've been so worried financially, sweetheart, and you have been so brave and patient with me. "But it is all over now, dear, and you can have ten tailored suits and twenty new hats if yon want there, honey. The trade I've been working on is finished, and we have $30,000 in the bank." Marie Edna's oheeks flamed scar- let, as she whispered "Dear, it is 1 who should apolo- gize to you; for misunderstand- ing!" "Perhaps we were both a- little obstinate," the man added, softly. per. Marie Edna's cheeks were scar- • let, "Well" she demanded, •"Well!" he replied. "I want to know who that wo- man was and what you were talk- ing about," said the young wife, hotly. "It was a conversation that did not concern you," retorted the young husband in disgust . "It does concern me or you would not answer in those suspicious monosyllables. When a man con- ducts a telephone conversation in raonosyllables, there is usually something clandestine about it." , • "As you please," the man re- • plied, lighting a fresh cigar. • Marie Edna bursb into tears and talked of home and mother. Henry Carroll paid no attention to her. He was used to such demonstra- tions. Marie Edna went to her room and cried herself to sleep. • Mr. Carroll put clown the evening paper, pulled out a sheat of ,paper from an inner pocket, and, for hours, absorbed himself in the fig- ures thereupon. When the young wife wakened the, next morning her husband had gone. It was a way he had when there had been unpleasantness the night before, A few days later Marie Edna de- manded of Henry the money for a new hat and tailor suit. She had not a charge account. "Marie Edna," the man said gen- tly, but firmly, "affairs downtown are pushing me very hard. I thought you understood that. I cannot afford to let you run up any bills now. If the trade I'm working on now goes through, you • en have anything you want. But you must wait. Now, that is final, dear." Marie Edna stood at the window and watched her husband as he walked toward the station. A fine- looking chap he was, elean-cut, dominating. His clothes were well tailored, his linen immaculate. She thought of her own pitiful ward- robe; a wardrobe that boasted only of the remnants of her trouseau. Why eouldn't Henry • understand that. shesimply must have—clothes 1 She•bad no gloves to wear to the matinee, Her suit was shabby. She thought of the well -fitting suits that she had been used to; • the ones that father had always provided; and, softly, she began to It was the next morning that Marie Edna answered the tele- phone. "This is Lurkman's talking, Mrs. Carroll," a voice came over the vire, "Your hat is ready for yon to try." .Maris . Edna stammered some- thing and hung up the receiver. Thoughts About Pleasure. Pleasure used in rightful moder- ation is a, tonic, cheering us up so that we may face our daily trials with fresh strength. But excessive devotion to pleasure is a deadly, clogging weed, which robs us of our best qualities and makes us useless weeds ourselves. Pleasure at an- other's pain is a mighty accurate kind of boomerang. It is going to come back and .hit—hard. The only kind of pleasure of which one can never tire is that of giving it to others. The old maxim about "Business first" is not dead yet, by a long chalk. No decent man or woman can have a thorough enjoy- ment of pleasure while many tasks are shouting to 'be done, Half the misery of the foolish comes from confusing happiness with that very shoddy imitation, gaiety. 'Tis a false religion that condemns all pleasure. The abuse, and not the use of it, is wrong. HIDDEN SUB MARINE MINES S'I"PRE.1 CII Ell 0 US lODE OF WARFARE. A Modern Invention, end There Are Only Two Methods of Fighting Them. Submarine mines are probably the most treacherous war auxiliar- les used in modern warfare owing to their location being so well hid- den from the all unsuspecting vee - s1. Once they are hit all is over. It was one of these which sank the "Amphion." The use of the submarine mine as a legitimate weapon of defence. and offense in warfare received the seal of international authority for the first time during the American Civil \Var.

Sir Gilbert Parker, the Cane- dian-born author, has just told his life story to a. British journal.

When they were with- enee to the other elements of the drawn he decided to settle there. While I was taking my univer- sity course, I was tutoring and lec- turing at twenty and twenty-one. I fancy that it was easier for me to speak then than it is now. Elo- quence is the easiest, thing to ac- quire --thought is a different ac- quisition altogether. I did not begin to write for the public till I landed in Australia, a boy of twenty-one. I had no inten- tion of staying there, but had gone to the South Seas on a trip for my health with the money I had ,saved. At twenty-two I lectured in the chief cities of Australia, made a big journey in the interior, and was about to sail for England when I was offered the post of associate editor of the Sydney Morning Her- ald at a salary which, including payment for extra, work, represent- ed four figures. I omitted to state that I landed in Australia with 400. defence; the latter with width and depth of channel, swiftness of cur- rent and variations of tide. Submarine mines are either buoy- ant or ground mines anti in general are af four kinds, (1) observation mines; (2) electro contact mines; (3) electro mechanical mines, and (4) extemporized mines. Ground mines of the second and third classes have the firing mechanism in a floating buoy. Controlled on Shore. Observation mines are controlled from a distant observation station, generally on shore, and fired by electricity when the target arrives over the mine. These mines _ are usually only about 10 feet under the water and this method is some- times called judgment firing. Electro -contact mines are intend- ed for explosion in actual contact, with a ship's bottom, and explode upon receiving a violent blow, or upon being tilted sidewise to an angle sufficient to closethe electric circuit contained in the mine. In some cases this circuit -closing de- vice .consists of an iron ball in a circular seat, which rolls against contact ,springs, and in others of a body of mercury which comes in contact with a, spindle when the mine is tipped, and this completes the electric circuit. This method is called automatic firing. Mines are usually arranged Inc combination firing, that is, for either judgment or automatic firing. Electro -mechanical mines differ from electro -contact mines in that they themselves contain the firing battery. Extemporized mines may be made by filling a barrel or box with gun- powder or gun -cotton, and fitting an electrical fuse to it. Submarine mines, except purely automatic floating mines used in emergencies, are controlled from the mining case -mate on shore, which receives its information and orders from the mine commander stationed in his observing tower, The mines are planted: in several lines, so as to compel hostile vessels to pass in range of more than one mine. CONGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It. A person in good health is likely to have a, genial disposition, ambi- tion, and enjoy work. On the other hand, if the diges- tive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drud- gery. "Until recently," writes a West- ern girl, "I was a railroad steno- grapher, which means full work every clak. "Like many other girls alone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For 'breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings, My work seemed a terrible effort, and 1 thought the work was to blame—too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape -Nuts and cream and nothing more for brealefaet, "I concluded 11 11 would tide him over a mornings heavy work, it might help me, w on my way home one night I bought a package, and next morning I had Grape -Nuts Her bat was ready!

I hael the good fortune when in connection with the Sydney Morn- ing Herald to make trips as its Special Commissioner to different parts of the South Seas,. Then I began to write plays. Play -writing, not fiction, was my first appeal to the general public.

To prevent any uneasiness or un- necessary trouble on the part of those not familiar with financial matters, and with the strength of our Canadian banking system, the Minister of Finance has issued a timely and reassuring statement. He outlines the 'effective steps which the Government is taking to ensure an abundant supply of cur- rency during the war, and author- izes payments in Bank Notes in- stead of in Dominion Notes or Gold. That is to say, the familiar $5, $10 and $20 bills, and those of higher denominations, issued by our Canadian Chartered Banks, have now exactly the same value as gold. Railways, express companies, Merchants, everybody in Canada, will continue to receive and make payments in Bank Notes. Our Canadian Banks are in splendid position to meet any demands which may be made upon them, as their reserves are exceptionally strong. .1. The Mysterious Egg. The hen's egg, although weighing but 2 to 23,4 oz., is a very mysteri- ous little thing. Whilst the sex of an egg before the latter has been incubated, cannot be ascertained, it is quite simple, on the other hand, to discover the quality of the contents before breaking the egg. j If the egg rattles when gently shak- en it may be considered a stale one, more or less, in which the contents have become decomposed. The best method for a wife to adopt to as- certain the freshness of purchased eggs is the salt test. Dissolve six ounces of ordinary salt in a tum- bler of water and place the egg therein. 11 a genuine new -laid ar- ticle, the egg will sink just below the eurface. After seven days it will float, and the more it protrudes from the surface of the water the older the egg. An egg that is even good only in pelts will, singularly enough, lose much of its staleness during its swim in the frying -pan. The secret is well known to certain landladies. Innocent Suffered. Owing to the havoc created among neutral vessel a during the Russo- Japanese war, and among all ship- ping for several years, by drifting mines floated in the vicinity of Port Arthur, the Hague ,conference in 1907 forbade the use of unanchored mine e or of anchored mines broken lose from their cables except the were of a type Which became harm- less soon after; also the placing of mines along the coasts and in front of the ports of an enemy with the intent to destroy commerce. ,At the close of a war all belligerents are to remove mines they have planted. The rules were to remain in force seven years, Britain Opposed It. The British Government has al- ways opposed mine -laying in shal- thw water as a disloyal and cruel form of war, cruel because it is di- rected largely against merchant Whipping, and so may cause heavy sacrifice of life among innocent non- combatants, women and children, because it is often carried out, as in this case, by 'vessels taken over dram the merchant marine, British envoys to The Hague Con- ference in 1907 made earnest efforts to secure prohibition of mines, but were defeated by the opposition of Germany for reasons which are now clearly understood, and the meal at the cab -shelter.

Many unsuspected virtues reaide in the humble onion. To ease neu- ralgia or rheumatic pains there is nothing better than an onion poul- tice. Very few people know that. As a remedy for sleeplessness try the effect of eating a Spanish onion before retiring and eaten after- warels will prevent any clis.agree- able taste or .smell. Scorched linen can be restored 'by squeezing the juics of an onion on the marks. The smell of paint can be removed if a saucerful of sliced onion is placed in the room overnight. For a wasp sting, there is no better remedy than the jaice of an onion. The oni- on is an excellent blood purifier; and its continued use make e the complexion peculiarly smooth. A sliced onion placed in a sick room on a ,i3heeb of paper will absorb in- fectious odors. Burn, and renew daily. Flies will not disfigure gilt picture frames or mantles if the latter are washed in onion water. Girl Ilas 11 Better Clittnee.

Four ifundred Thousand of 4,000,090 Pupal a lion A re Sohl lees, War and bloodshed are not new things to Servia. For hundreds of years she has been busy fighting for liberty, and with civil wars, Since Roman empire days, when Servia WAS part of the Roman Pro- vince of Meesia and WaS peopled by warlike Thraeians and Illyrians, it has been in succession overrun by Huns, Ostrogaths, Lombards, Metres, and other tribes. All these have left their trues in this Ser- vian people of to•day, who are akin to the unconquerable mountaineers of Montenegro and the fierce tribes- men of Albania. As fighters the Servians are a race not to be des- pised—hardy, brave to recklessness, and with hate for Austria, which has lived and grown for ages. Of a population of a little more than 4,000,000, fully 400,000 Ser- vians are on the army lists of King Peter. Their history shows why their warlike character has grown for ages until' now, when Russian influences are said to sway the ac- tions of Servian leaders. Became Christian in A.D. 500. About 700 A.D. the Serbs enter- ed the Moesian disbriet. A.D. 800 they largely embraced Christianity, and for a time acknowledged in surly fashion the rule of the Byzan- tine emperors. In the eleventh cen- tury the Servians rebelled, and their supreme chieftain, Michael, was proclaimed ki' ng and was re- cognized as such by Pope Gregory VII. Thus began a struggle for in- dependence, which took the form of guerilla warfare, and lasted for two generations. In 1165 Stephen Nemanya became king, and for nearly 200 years his family main- tained a sort of rulership over the turbulent, fighting people. Under Stephen Dushan (1339-50 the king- dom of Servia included all Mace- donia, Albania, Thessaly, Northern Greece. and Bulgaria. About 1374 si new dynasty ascended the throne in the person of Lazar I., who was captured by the Turks at the battle of Kossova (in Albania) in 1389 and put to death. Servile became tri- butary to. Turkey. Became Provinee of Turkey. 1 he About the middle of the fifteenth century Servia became a. Turkish province, and so remained for near- ly 200 years. By the peace of Pas- sarowitz in 1718 Austria received the greater part of Servia, with the capital, Belgrade. But by the peace of Belgrade in 1739 this ter- ritory was transferred to Turkey. Early in the nineteenth century Szerny George placed himself at the head of malcontents, and, aided by Russia, succeeded after eight years of fighting in securing the indepen- dence of his country by the pease of Bucharest, May 28, 1812. The war was renewed in 1813, and the Turks peevailed. In 1815 all Servia rose in arms under Milosh Obrenovitch a.nd Milosh was elected hereditary prince. Milosh was compelled to abdicate in 1839, and was nomi- nally succeeded by his son Milan, who died immediately, leaving the throne to his brother Michael. In 1842 this prince was compelled* to quit the country. Alexander Kara- Georgeviteh, son of Czerny George, was elected, but in December, 1858, he also VOA forced to abdicabo. Milosh was then recalleA, but sur- vived his restoration little mors than a year, His son Michael suc- ceeded him (1880), but was assassi- nated by the partisans of Prince Alexander July 10, 1888.
