LIGI E S WOMEN MAN LIFEBOATS Brighton Heroines Replace Fishermen Needed Elsewhere—At teas Works Women have, indeed, an opportunity now of showing what they cans do, and wonderfully are they teeing to the' occaeion. The latest new idea hails from Brighton, England. The life- boat, of course, lives iu a house well above highwater mark, and to trans- port it to the edge of the waves and launch it through the stormy breakers in. case of need is a considerable no. dertaking. In ordinary tinter there are always a body of fishermen and shore. workers available to lend a hand in all this work. But now these stalwart fellows are no lodger on the beach. Some are in the army or the navy; others are engaged in land employ- ment; and though the lifeboat's crew remain ready for their dangerous and sorely -needed task, the launching would be a difficulty. The Brighton Committee have called upon the wives, sisters and daughters of the boat's crew to come to their rescue; and the women have respond- ed in their full strength. They are being trained in their new Buttes; and recently an excellent launch was made of the lifebcat, almost entirely by women—mothers still in their prime and their girls in their early teens working lode by side with splendid results. Not infrequently in the history of the lifeboat service wo• men have given help in emergencies in the launching; and we all remem- ber having heard of Grace Darling, the Northumbrian maiden of one -and - twenty, who alone assisted her father, a lighthouse -keeper, in a wonderfully dangerous rescue from a wreck, her mother helping to launch the boat. That was a more than common ex- ploit; but much courage and endur- ance will be called for from Brighton women if they have to launch the 'life- boat in the teeth of a gale, Brighton Gas Company is also employing wo- men laborers; and the Liverpool dock - ors alone prevent women Prom =deed- ing the ships, -'THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS nuns Treated Prisoners After Own Fashion Centuries Ago The particulars of the brutality with which Germans treat prisoners of war may be compared with the tollowtng - passage from Froisaart (ed. Luce, Vol. v., p, 2891: "For I'nglieh and Gascon( are of such condition that they put a knight or a squire courteously to ransom; but the custom of the Ger- mane, and their courtesy is of no such sort hitherto. I know not how they will do henceforth—for hitherto they have had neither pity nor mercy cn Christian gentlemen who fall into their hands as prisoners, but lay on at MIA Pu P Of 14 chains, in irons, and in close prison fflre thieves and murderers; and all to extort the greater ransom."

There is a legend to the effect that one of the secrets of the .75 is a little pin, which the French gunners are sworn to remove when they see the capture of the wea- pon is likely. Then the wholeme- chanism falls to'pleces, and when the Germans reach it is is merely a heap of wheels, bolts, and cylinders which it is impossible to reconstruct. The soul of the 'French .75 is tine hydraulic brake, and this apparently the Germans have been unable to fathom. This device makes it pos- sible for the gnu to be fired again MAJOR DREYFF US. and again without a new aim being taken after every discharge. Ordin- arily, as even the uninitiated know, when a gun is fired there is a recoil or "kick" which changes tbe position of the weapon. In the .75, however, the recoil is received upon a set of springs, and the aim remains the same. Therefore it is possible to fire the .75 once every two•seeonds. Therefore it has been possible for the French to defend Verdun and to ac- complish other miracles. More than twenty years ago the Germans were almost able to pene- trate the secret of the hydraulic con- trol, as is recalled in a long article in Le Siecle by Gaston Rive, which shows how this secret, kept inviolate until this day, was involved in the Dreyfus case, The Dreyfus case is gg2 yews old, eed'moat of us have for ti t�C€ Particulars it, And„ recall merely the central fact that Dreyfus was convicted of having sold certain French military secrets to Germany, and that he was later hon- orably acquitted, his old military hoonrs restored, and the Cross of the Legion g of Honor pinned upon him. In the meantime he had been to Devil's Island, and had suffered un- speakable, almost unimaginable hor- rors. One of the secrets which Drey fns was accused of baying tried to sell was that of the hydraulic con- trol ntrolthe had 1b en ere successful brake it was applied to the .75, and when the first discovery was made In the Dreyfus ease, this secret was about to be transferred to Germany. A Royal Criminal. Opinion is fast developing in the direction of proclaiming the Kaiser the Royal criminal, with whom the Allies will refuse to negotiate terms of peace, whose bead they will de- mand as the primary condition of any settlement of the war. The an- alogy of the attitude of the Allies in March, 1815, towards Napoleon thus emerges as of more than historical interest. A .declaration was then made that Napoleon had "deprived himself of the protection of the laws, and made it evident in the fact of the universe that, there eau no longer be either peace or truce with him." And this sentence was added in that stern declaration: "The powers, therefore, declare that Buonaparte has placed himself out of the pale of civil' and social relations, and that as the gen- eral enemy and disturber of the world he la abandoned to public jua- ti0e."—London Chronicle, Russian Aeroplanes Blessed. One of the acts immediately pre. ceding tbe outbreak of hostilities be- tween Roumania and Austriatiun- Bary was the blessing of aeroplanes of the Russian army in the presence of enormous crowds.

They e are very prolific, and there ie danger they 'will become a bad weed if not kept well under control. One plant 1 will often produce a rounding up peck measure of tubers. Secure the roots and cut as potatoes, then drop in fur- rows three feet apart and two feet apart in the row. Cultivate till the bloom begins to show and keep free from weeds. Carrots have high food value for bogs and other stock. All the more common kinds of roots are greatly relished by horses, cattle, sheep, bogs, chickens and turkeys. Roots are bone, muscle, fat and beat producers and are as good as corn, bay and oats. They keep tbe system sup- plied with that necessary fluid that is lacking when dry feed alone is used. Farmers baying silos are not much troubled with this problem. Roots have a medicinal value, and every farmer should grow them for his do- mestic animals. It goes without saying that if a very heavy "crop le desired the land must be put in. a superlatively good condition. Manure the land heavily be- fore plowing with rotten stable ma- nure, and there is no danger of apply- ing too much; also use in the drills, about 600 pounds to the acre, a com- mercial fertilizer containing a relative- ly high per cent of potash and nitro- gen and a low per cent of phosphoric acid. The mangel is but little troubled with pests and insects of any kind. In our experience low land bas al- ways given the best results. Mangels require a deep, friable, cool soil that can be easily worked, while at the awe time' the roots will end a fairly ompact and cool subsoil. Ifonly a small patch is to be grown he planting can be most successfully one by hand, covering the seed with hand rake. If 00 acre or more Is own we sow with a small seed drill, etting it so as to sow from four to ve pounds to the acre.
