THE GRANDEES OF SPAIN.
When They Al) Wore Their HaM in
the Presence of the King.
A grandee of Spain enjoys the pii-
vilege, granted him many hundreds of
years ago, of remaining "covered" in
the presence of his sovereign. •This
custom dates from the period when,
according to the theory then held, the
king was "the first among equals."
The ancient formula always at the
coronation of kings of old Spain was:
"We, your equals, thoose you to
reign over us." And the king as-
sented in this declaration of his no-
bles.
'There was a time when all gran-
dees of Spain wore their hats in the
presence of the king, but in time the
idea of caste began to prevail, even
eenong the grandees, with the result
that they were eventually divided into
three classes, and these classes were
distinguished by the hat etiquette.
Tee first class entered the royal
presence covered, and, after an ad-
vance of a few see'pe, Put on their'
hate, unbidden by the king ,and the
third elass also entered uncovered but
did net "cover" until requested to do
eoeby the king. Then, eccording• to
the etiquette, "all were ecpeal."
Theee have been grandees who were
not Spaniards,—notably the Duke of
Wellington, upon whom the Cortes
confared the honor in recognition of
his services to the state.

You didn't save all your money;
you made a lot of it out of the rise

"Of course, I did. And I've made a
lot out of other things, too."
, "I could have done just as well as
you did only I didn't have the 'money
for a start."
• "That's just it," says I, "the moneY
for a start is what comes hard. You
have to pass up a lot of good times
to stack up a hundred.' dollars, and
every dollar is so fresh and frisky
it's all you can do to hold it. But
they seemtolike one another's coin-
pany, and by the time you have a
couple of hundred herded together in
the bank they stay quieter. And they
seem to draw others—you enjoy going
to the bank with a dollar when your
bunch is beginning to grow. And a
very few hundred dollare vvill give a
man a start." '
Sid thinks for a minute, and then
he puts his hand on, my shoulder,
friendly Iike,—Sid always was a good
fellow—and says:

TUBE MAIL CARS NEXT.
Have Been -Used in Paris for Some
Time.
Parliament recently gave permis-
sion to the post office authorities to
construct a miniature tube railroad
for the purpose of conveying letters
and parcels across London in half the
time formerly taken. In two tubes,
nine feet in diameter, little electrically
propelled trucks Will run, and parcels
and mail bags will be stacked on
them. The first postal tube is to be
construeted between Paddington and
the eastern district office at •White-
chapel.
Driven by electric current and con-
trolled by switches at intermediate
stations, the mail tubes will not need
drivers. They will hurtle through the
tubes at about twenty miles an hour,
carrying the mails from point to
point in half the time that motor
vans threading their way through
traffic in the streets above would
take,
Tim tubes ire utilized in the
scheme, one for up trains and the
other Inc down trains. To 'avoid any
•possibility of collisions—for mail
trains will be dispatched along the
tube e every few minutes—the line is
divided up into sections, so that when
the train has passed over one stretch
of rail it becomes "dead" until it has
reached another section. This form
of postal tube has been, used in Paris
with much success •Inc some thne.
The cost of the new tube for London,
which is said to be six and one-half
miles long, will be $5,000,000.
Tea en the•Battlefield.

THE PREACHER'S FRIJIT.
Peaches Cost Less Per Quart Than
Any Other Fruit. °
Once upon a time—you see I know
how to begio a story in the right way
—a barefoot boy danced by the road-
side and shouted gleefully, writes Pe-
ter: McArthur. It was in Canada, back
in the nineteenth century, in the pio-
neer days. The little boy was healthy
and freckled, and what he lacked in
clothes he made up in the kind of
body one should have inside of clothes.
And he was very, very homey. In
fact he was so happy that a passing
friend stopped to ask him- the cause
of it all.
• "Hurray!" shouted- he of the
freelcles..• ,••
"Why.so 'haPpy?" asked the friend.
"The preacher is coming to din-
nerle" . • -
"I didn't know you were so fond of
him."
"1 ant, but whenever he preacher,
comes to dinner we always have
,peach preserves,"
It really is not much of a story,
and I am giving it on account of ite
arch -e -o -log -i -cal interest, and not be-
cause it is so very funny. It dates
back to the days when people merely
knew that peaches are the best of
fruits and had not discovered that
Canada is the best place to raise the
very best of them. The woman who
was fortunate enough to get some
from a sheltered orchard or from a
lone tree that was so fortunately
situated that it escaped the frost, put
up a few to have for such special
occasions as the visit of the preacher.
In those days the minister was a
much more welcome visitor on the
farm than the agent of get -rich -quick
concerns and mining promoters, and
there is a moral to that if I only bad
time to work it out. Because peaches
were saved for such extra special oc-
,casions a tradition has grown up
about them in many parts of the
country. Some housewives,'otherwise
very bright and a credit to the far-
mers' institutes to which they belong,
consider it an extravaganee to pre-
serve peaches unless they get them at
sacrifice prices. Yet these same wo-
men will pay from ten to fifteen cents
a quart for currants and berries that
need far more sugar to do them up
than the already sweet peaches. As
peaches usually come in eleven -cleat
baskets, you will fled if you divide the
priee by eleven, that peaches cost less
per quart than any other fruit. But
because they were once so great a
luxury housewives are slow to realize
that they should have more of them
than of any kind of fruit, for they are
both the cheapest and the best. There
is no reason why every farmer' s wife
in the districts where peaches cannot
be grown should not buy them as free-
ly as they do other fruits and have
them not only when the preacher
comes to dinner, but when the boys
and girls come home from the city,
and at all other times when they welt
,to have something luxurioue on the
table.
Also it should be remembered that
for eating from the hand the peach is
the best fruit of all, but you should
use for this purpose only the peaches
that you buy in the full light of day.
Once upon a time, or, perhaps I should
say, "Once upon another time," a
newly arrived Irishman went out with
a friend to steal peaches. It was very
dark, and Pat had been told to grope
along the branches Inc the fruit.
Presently he whispered > "Moike!" His
friend answered "Phveat!" "Has
paiches got legs?" "Naw." "Then,
begoles, I've swallowed a straddle
bug,"
FRESH AT NIGHT
If One Uses the Right Kind of Food.
If by proper selection of food one
can feel strong and fresh at the end
of a day's work, it is worth while to
know the kind of food that will pro-
duce this result.
A school teacher in the West says
in this connection:
"At the time I commenced the use
of Grape -Nuts my health was so poor
that I thought I would have to give
up my work altogether, • I was rapid-
ly losing in weight, had little appetite,
was nervous and sleepless, and exper-
ienced alinost constantly a feeling of
exhaustion.
"I tried varioes remedies without
good results; then I determined to
give, particular attention to my food,
and have learned something of the
properties of Grape -Nuts for rebuild-
ing, body, brain and nerves.
' "Since using Grape -Nuts I have
made a constant and rapid improve-
ment in health, in spite of the fact
that all this time I have been en-
gaged in strenuous and ,exacting
• "I have gained twelve pounds ih
weight and have a good appetite; my
nerves are steady and I sleep sound.
I have such strength and reserve face
that I feel almost as strong and fresh
-at the close of a day's work as at the
beginning,
"Before using Grape -Nuts I was
troubled much with weak eyes, but as
my vitality increased the oyes became
steonger.

nutritious and ecohomical as Graiee-

AN APPEAL.
On Behalf of the National Canadian
Patriotic Fund.
We have now entered upon the sec-
ond year of the war, and the end
seems as far off as ever. No one ima-e
gined, a year ago, that by September
of 1915, Canada would have sent
across the Atlantic nearly one hun-
dred thousand men with as many
more to follow if • necessary. This
magnificent enlistment, while primar-
ily due to the loyalty of our people,
has been, in a large measure, made
possible by the Canadian Patriotic
Fund.
This greatest of all the national
benefactions is now assisting twenty
thousand families of men who have
enlisted for overseas service. These
men have gone forward with the full
assurance that the people of Canada
will see to it that , during their ab-
sence, their wives, widowed mothers
and little children shall be maintained
in comfort. We hear that the drain
upon the Fund is assuming large pro-
portions, that to meet the needs of
July and August $700,000 was ex-
pended, that the reserves are being
materially deereased, and thee the
national Executive Committee now
finds it necessary to make a further
appeal to the Canadian Public.
There are many funds, most of
them worthy, but of them all, the
Patriotic Fund is the one we cannot
allow to fail. It is the duty of the
Government to arm, equip and main-
tain the troops. Not a donee do the
Federal authorities give to the Patri-
otic Fund. This work depends solely
on the patriotism and generosity of
our own people. Thousands of brave
men areefighting our battles, believing
that we meant what we said when
we told them as they went forward:
"Go and we will care for the 'wife and
kiddies." It would be to our everlast-
ing disgrace if our pledge were bro-
ken,
The national organization, with
headquarters at Ottawa and branches
or affiliated associations in every part
of the Dominion, is worthy of our
most generous support in the tremen-
dous ancl ever-growing task that it
has undertaken.

TRITE PATRIOTISM.
The excellent patriotic work of the
File Indians at Balcarros, Sapk, con-
tinues, and the Canadian Pacific
through Mr. W. R. Baker, the, Secre-
tary of the Company, has received
another erecouraging erepert: It was
in October hist year that thirty-three
of these colonists subscribed $502.10
to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer
givingea certain number of bushels of
grain which when sold ammmted to
the. above sum. During the winter
that followed, the now famous Pile
Indian Brass Band gave concerts,
thereby raising another $212.00, whiele
went to the Belgian Relief Fund, and
since March last, the Red Cross
Branch of this Colony has raised
$500.00 and endowed a bed in Clive -
den Hospital. The young Indian wo-
men have done a great deal of knit-
ting and sewing, The branch has
membership of 86, while there are
only one hundred and eixty souls—
thirty-eight men, twenty-six women
and ninety-six children—in the colony.
The patriotism of these Indians does
not stop here. Two young men went
to the front with the second contin-
gent, and six more are going with the
next. The File Indians lay claim to
having the oldest Red Cross Society
member in the British Empire in the
person of Pointed Cap. This cele-
brated character says that he is the
ripe old age of 107, and on November
12th next will attain his 108th year.
He is 'now an "associate neember" of
the Red Cross, and proudly wears on
his heart the little red cross, the em-
blem of the society. It is quite pos-
sible that in addition to the six latest
recruits for the front, older members
of the colony will go, as one man who
is the father of nine children has ex-
pressed his intention of so doing, and
his wife says "I will not stop him."
Despite the fact that a hailstorm last
month destroyed all the crops in the
colony, the File Indians are not down-
hearted, and have made arrangements
to continue their good work during
the coming winter months to aid the
boys across the sea, thus showing a
patriotism worthy of a king.
WITH THE ARTFUL DODGER.
Pilgrimage to Interesting Spots in
Dicken's London. .
Dicicens knew his London with
wonderful thoroughness. Ile was ac-
quaieted with secret passages and
dark lanes, and among them he found
much romance: Such is the devotion
of his innumerable disciples , that
many spent the sunshine on a recent
afternoon in tracing the devious ways
of the Artful Dodger and the in-
nocent Oliver atnotig the byways of
Finsbury and Holborn.
Many of the slums of which Bin
wrote so intimately have (thank
goodness,) disappeared. He did much
himself to cause their disappearance.
Bue William J. Roffey, the well-known
Dickens lecturer, who knows his
seamy London as well as the Artful
Dodger himself, was able to conduct
a party of members of the Selborne
Club to many landmarks associated
with the career of Oliver Twist. •
• One of the most intereeting spots
to which he led the enthusiasts was
the abode of Mr. Fang—the magis-
trate drawn from actual life, who
sentenced young Oliver to three
months on the false charge of steal-
ing Mr. Brownlow'e silk handerker-
chief. Mr. Pang was such e thin dis-
guise for the notorious Mr. Lang that
the gentleman was crossed off the
rolls very soon after making his ap-
pearance in the novel. Mr. Lang's
offices were i Hatton Gaedens and
are now occupied by a firm of litho-
graphers.
