ATIICRAFT IN WARFARE.
First Used by the French During
the Siege of Paris in 1870.
The present war is not the first
big cenflict in which aircraft hes
played a part. During the siege of
'Paris, ai the time of the Franco-
German war, balloons successfully
sailed over the French battlefields.
These vessels, however, were used
as forlorn hopes rather than recog-
nized fighting units, for by this
in'eans the besieged Parisians en-
deavored to coramunicate with the
outside world. One attempt tomon-
vey letters by air from Paris iwes
'made with a, triple balloon named
the Etats T.Tnis. Three rather an-
cient balloon envelopes were fas-
tened together and loaded with 2,-
500 letters. To the great delight of
the citizens, it floated away from
the town, and eventually landed
with its solitary ocicupant at Nan-
• eee. Encouraged by this success,
the eitizerns sent aloft another bal-
loon called the 'Celeste, with a hun-
dredweight of mail on board. The
'wind, however, split, the vessel in
two, for at that time balloons were
'very insecurely constructed. The
letters and the ayiatoe bumbled to
the geound from a height of over a
hundred feet, the latter being bad-
ly injured.
Ga,mhetta aVa8 carried across the
French battlefields in a, balloon. Al-
though at this time balloons were
continually collapsing in nim_em
and killing eheir unfortunate voy-
agers, trips with cargoes of letters
were continually made from one
Point to another of the seat of war
in h mime. •A balloon named the
Washington on one oe,casion took
up a sailor and a poet -office dele-
gate, with a huge eolleetion of 120,-
000 letters,. and 80 carrier pigeons,
The sailor was an inexperienced air
pilot, who fell out of the balloon
whilst attempting to cast a grap-
pling hook. At the mercy of the
wind trim vessel drifted uncontrolled
over the Germen frontier, itecl the
'remaining passenger with his let-
ters .ancl pigeons came near to being
shot as a spy.
Nader gained undying fame at
this period by &Wending in 'his .bal-
loon, Neptune, ab Mouthiartre, and
by means af primitive lerm of cam-
era took photographs of the troops
!below. Every half hoer he seet a
glass negative eliding down the bal-
loon rope, se that the complete op-
eeabions of the forces 'below could
be strung together.

MNEMONICS 11
For reasons of economy, says a co 1
tribute'. to London Punch, we get 11
our •supplies from Meggridge's, stores
We have no telephone at home, so I
ring tip Moggridge's,when I arrive at
myoffice, and order what we want;
that is, whenever I remember, • Un-
fortunately I usually forget, (Jon'
seqtently, it generally ends in Joan's
writing a- note when I return home in
the evening.
One morning after breakfast Joan
asked me to repeat her orders. I did
so. "That's not what I said!" cried
Joan. "1' did not mention smoked
salmon. Now listen --or, 'better still,
write it down on a piece of paper."
"I always lose the paper," I said.
"But go on with the list; I've a very
good idea."
"Two pounds of Mocha coffee," she
began.
I picked up two coffee beans 'from
the tray and put them in my pocket.
"Fourteen pounds of loaf sugar,"
she went on.
I drew out my handkerchief, tied a
lump of sugar in a corner of it, and
then ,put it in my hat.
."Why put it in your hat?" asked
Joan.
"Because," I answered, "I may not
have occasion to draw my handerker-
chief from its usual place, whereas I
always have to take my hat off."
"How will y'ou remember the quant-
ity?"
"Well, fourteen pounds make °fie
stone, don't they? Before I remember
the hartl thing is a piece of sugar, I
shall think it's a stone."
Joan sniffed contemptuously.
"There's my ring," she continued, "the
diamond and sapphire that I left for
resetting. And—"
• "Hold on a minute." I cried. "Just
tie a piece of cotton round my third
finger." •
She did so. Then she'went on:
"The'• drawing -room elock should
have been sent home, cleaned, last
Friday. It wasn't."
"Perhaps they expected it to run
down," I suggested.
Joan merely said, "Well—do some-
thing. Put the sardines in your
pocketbook'or the marmalade in your
gloves."
' "Those," I said, "have nothing to
do with clocks. Everything I have
done is suggestive of what I have to
remember," .and I turned my watch
round in my pocket so that it faced
outward.
As I hurried toward the station a
keen wind was blowing. I 'withdrew
the handkerchief from my hat and
wiped my streaming eyes. -• The opera-
tion over, T placed the handkerchief
In my sleeve. I heard the whistle of
a train, and instinctively took out my
what. It was right -about face in my
pocket, and I lost a good second in
turning it over. I had just one min-
ute in which to do the quarter mile,
and I missed the train handsomely.
There was an interval of twenty
minutes before the next one, so I
bought a magazine. I had to remove
my left glove in order to get at my
money, and pulling it off I noticed a
slued of cotton come away with it.
That Meant an inside seam 'gone
somewhere; and they were new
gloves, too.. I threw a coin to the
paper -boy, and two small round ob-
jects like boot buttons rolled upon the
•platform.
At the office I was so busy all day
that it was not until I was seated in
the train, going home hi the evening,
that I vaguely remembered that I had
forgotten something. I grew uneasy,
and to distraCt My thoughts, I picked
up an evening paper from the opposite
seat. The first paragraph that I read
reminded me of Joan's forgotten or•
ders; but it relieved me, too, for it
ran, "The funeral of the late Mr.
Jeremiah Moggridge, founder and
managing director of the mammouth
stores that bear his name, took place
this afternoon. As a mark of respect
the premises were closed for business
all day." So it would have been futile
to ring them up in any case. I was
saved!
The first thing loan said to me was:
"Did you order those thinge from
Moggridge's."
I didn't say anything. I merely
handed her the evening paper and in-
dicated the saving paragraph. Joan
read it through. Then she said:
"Yes, I thought you'd mess it all up'
In spite of your ichneumonics, or what-
ever you call them; and so after lunch
west to the call office and ordered
the things myself. Next time don't
try to establish an alibi with yester-
day's paper."
Our private telephone will be in.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Pacts Worth Knowing.
It is a serious question somm
times to know just what to eat when
a person's stomach is out of order
and most foods cause trouble.
Gra.pe-Nuts food can be taken at
any time with the certainty that it
will digeet. Actual experience of
people la valuable eo anyone inter-

A woman 'writes: "I had suffered
with indigestion for about four

phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,

I would •wish I never had to eat

"My luieband also had an eepexi-

Nuts. It was surprising to ,see the
change in him. He grew better
right off, a•ncl naturally he has none
but words of praise for Grape -Nuts.
"Our ,ibey thinks he cannot eat a

Watford, Ont., Feb. teth (Special).
---1V/r.: Robert Taylor, •Sr,,. a very
estimable men living ;lore, is telling
his friends that the pain in • his
back, from which he 'suffered fur
thine time, has disappeared, and
that he gives all the credit th Dodd's
Kidney' Pills.
"My trouble started with cold,"
Mr. Taylor states, "and though I
was treated by a, doctor I got no
permanent relief. I had cramps in
my muecles and stiffness in my
joints, my •sleep Was broken and
uterefreshing and I perspired freely
with the- least exertion. I had at-
tacks of effieumetiern and sciatica,
and though I tried Many medicines
found -no relief till 1 tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills. • I must say they were'
a great benefit to, me."
Mr, Taylor'stroubles came from
his kidneys. The diseased kidneys
failed to 'strain the uric acid out of
the blood and the results were as he
has stated. Dodd's' Kidney Pills put
the kidneys in working order, the
uric acid was strained out of the
blood, and the troubles went with
it.
NATIONAL snuff IN POLAND.
, --
People Rope for More • Liberal
• Treatment as Rept& of War.
The 'movement for a larger Po-
land takes new etrength from the
formation of -a national council at
Warsaw, and_ from . the stirring
manifesto just issued in its' name
by the Polish leaders, Count Pyg-
inunt Wielpolski at their bead. The
Pelee are mow in the full tide of
war, and with the exception of some
of their 'brethren in Galicia, have
unreservedly thrownin'. their lot
with the Allies. As -a race they be-
long to honflicting jurisdictions.
There are 4,000000 in Prussia
alone, west and east; Austria also
has her eha,re.
Geographically complex, the pro-
blem of "unifying" Poland is also
politleally diffieult, for. at this mo-
ment its solution waits on the out-
come of the war and the goodwill of
Russia. That its people are already
pnifiod by suffering in common is
plainly the conviction of the na-
tional council. In twoterritories
they have -felt the heavy hand of the
oppressor. Of course, it is the Rus -
Sian tyrant f whom we lia,ve heard
-most. His ruthless suppressions .01
insureection are still served Up in
our historical teelb books, and the
etoey of his attempts to extinguish
She language and national seirit of
Poland form apart of every liberal
education.
But the German tyrant has also
been at work. In 1885 40,000 Poles
were expelled froni Posen because
they had not become Prussian chi -
subjects, ae a preliminary to meas -
urge for cola/thing Polish distriots
with German ,settlers. In 1873 the
Polish language was excluded from
the .elementary, and later from the
seoondary wheels .of Freesia, In
1805 a decree fothade religious in-
structfon in Polish, and the Poles
were compelled to pay foe having
-their children taught the catechism
in • German; hence lithe famous
"children's strike" in the diocese of
Posen the following year. And by
'a lam passed in 1508 the use of Po -
'lith was interdicted at all meetings
in distriete where the Poles formed
less than sixty per cent of the popu-
lation.
It is to guard for the future
against such procedures as these
that the national council 'appeal; to
ehe "undivided spirit" of- Poland
a.nd looks forward to a "radiant
morrow of reunion for oer nation."
The Poles need elbow room in two
directions. 'Should their aspira-
tions be realized it will be possible
Los' the patriots to erect their long
projected monument to kosciuszko
in Warsaw and forever impossible
for their ohildren to be brutally
flogged for refusing to use German
in Posen.

IntE mtrusit NAVY.
Saving Nation an Enormous Amount
of Money.
, In the course of an article.on "No
Naval Battle—Why'?" which ap-
pears in the Fortnightly Review,
Mr. Archibald I-Ituel says -that the
Gentian fleet, which, during the
past fifteee :Veers cost 23'00,000,000
'GO maintain, has completely failed
to fulfill teny ,single cam ei the hopes
on which it w•as, based.
Declaeing that the 13eitith people
Nvoulcl do well to be ,duly grateful
for the blessinge w1ieh have been
theirs owing to naval predominance
during the pest three months, Mr.
Hurd' says that in elle ahseoce of
complete command ofthe sea the
British people- would have had to
face the following weekly bill:
Increase in the cost of food by 50
per cent., raising the outlay per
head of the population from 8s. to
22s. a. week, 9,000,000.
Deoline in wages hill, about .B2,-
000,009.
Increase in. COO of other necessi-
ties and luxuriee, 2,000,900.
Loss of shipping, R1,000,000.
' Decline in national income from
inveStments, .I22,000,000.
Total loss per week; 210,000,000.
We thus reach the conclusion,
adids Mr. Hurd; that during the past
four months of war the navy has
been paying dividends, to: the nation
at the rate of £16,000,000 per week,
without taking into aceount the fact
that it has spared us, moral and in-
tellectual damages which are in-
calculable. Battle or, no battle in
the North ,Sea, the people of the
United kingdom, not to mention
the peoples ,af the far-flung Dminhi-
ions, have reason for satisfaction
ehat during the years' which pre-
cecledwar they turned a deaf ea,r
to these who urged that the expee-
dative on the fleet should he re-
duced.

HatiMx, N.e., Dec. 16—When inter-
viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St.,
Mrs. Baverstock was quite willing to
talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case.
"I was always 'blue' and depressed,
felt weak, languid and utterly unfit
for any work. My stomach was so
disordered that I had no appetite.
What I did eat disagreed. I suffered
greatly frono dizziness and sick head-
ache and feared a nervous breakdown.
Upon my druggist's recommendation
I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
"I felt better at once. Rvery day I
improved. In six weeks I was a well
woman, cured completely after differ.
eat physicians had failed to help me.
It is Mr thisreason that I strongly
urge sufferers with stomach or diges-
tive troubles to mie Dr. Hamilton's
Pill."
Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the
stomach, improve digestion, strength-
en the nerves and restore debilitated
systems to health. By cleansing the
blood of long.sta•nding impurities, by
bringing the system to a high point
of vigor, they effectually chase away
weariness, depression and disease.

and 86 undergracluabe,s, and of these
137 are officers and 83 privates. The

WARETICE RACE;
The Bedouins Live As in Old Testa-
" Meet Times.
The report that the Turks have
induced the Beclottins bo assist them
in their invasion of Egypt calls ite-
tention to these etrante nomadic
bribes • in Eastern Palestine , and
Arabia, observes the Landon Globe.
They are undoubtedly among -the
meet pletureaqUe races in the East,
•and although born fi.ghters and cap-
able of giving' a good account of
themselves, would be useless
against 'a modern armywith artil-
lery. Their printhpal value to the
Turks would be .as a.n adjunet to
their 'cavalry, or , for Making gaer-
rilla raids or attacking lines of com-
munications. • -
, Their mode of life has not greatly
changed since Biblical times, and
to -day they steal cattle .ancl camels;
,a,nd their young inen- steal wives, as
wee their wont in Old Testament
days. Indeed, the purloining of
cattle and earaels is considered law-
ful among them, and the more a
tribe or au individual can enrieh in
this manner the more their prowess
comes to be reeognized.
These people, however, who live
by thieving end move by stealth,
are invariably hospitality itself to
the stranger within their gates.
Years of experience in travelling
through the more unsettled parts of
Palestine, Syria, and the outskirts
of Arabia; have made it very dear to
me that the Bedouin can be treated

There are always theee things up -
perinea in a Bedouin's Mind—his
gun, his horse and his wives. The
most modern arms of precision have
replaced the primitive spear, which,
entire few years ago. was the usual
weapon. The Bedouin is quick to
realize the efficiency of modern
weapons and soon becomes an ex-
pert marksman. So enuelt lia.s the
spear fallen out of favor that the

Just as it is allowable with them
to steal 'camels, ao the young men

few weeks more than thirty thotts-
en'd excellent soldiers have been
last to the nation beemise of it. In
'war time, elhort men are in many

They are better iihelitered in
trenches and do not have to dig
them, so deep to protect themselves.
As!the Journal says, "It fakes leas
khaki to clothe them and less leath-
er 'boot them. The army blanket
!Covers them more amply, a,nd they
need less food than tall, thin men
to keep um their 'body heat and main -
lain their marching energy: Those
who stand the rigors of cold clim-
atehest are not always big, men,
and the ,sadlor, 11ke 'the wind-swept
tree on the coast, may be short.
'Werm•bli 'and' easy conditions of life
rather tend to the development of
tall men. The cavalryman and ar-
tilleryman need to be -big' and
power.ful, but as to those who bur-
row in the trenches, how ca,n it
