How slow we are as a .nation in pay- ing our debts of gratitude is shown la the case of Wellington, the centen- ary of whose final feat, the overthrow of Napoleon, has so lately been quiet- ly noticed. .A. sum of 880,000 was voted for the funeral expenses of the Iron Duke, of •which £60,000 was spent. With the remainder it was decided !.r erect a memorial in St. Paul's Cathedral, says London An- swers. Two-thirds of this suns went in the six -years pursuit of a sculptor'., Alfred Stevens was at last found, but not un- til forty years had elapsed was the monument erected. However, to balance this, it may be said that the Schilles monument, sub- scribed as a memorial to Wellington by the women of Britain, was raised thirty years before his death, Clive is regarded as the conqueror of India, the founder of British domin- ion there. That is, he gave India to the British Empire, Yet it was only the other day that the only monument to him was unveiled. It stands in a green space in Whitehall. . It was only a few years ago that Redford awoke to the fact that It con- tained ao memorial to the Immortal Tinker, John Bunyan, Certainly, when the people did wake up to it, they erected a fine statue. But a couple of centuries is along time to wait for a monument. London, a score of years ago, was entirely indifferent to the terrible fact that no statue of the Great Protector Was to bo found it all its square miles. The 011e between the Abbey and West- minster Hall makes reparation some- what, for it is one of the best in Eng- land. .At an "orphans pichic," in Pitts- burg, a raffle was not long ago held for a bride, a blonde, of twenty years,. who consented to marry the bachelor holding the lucky ticket. ' AN OPEN LETTER rrom a Well Known Clergyman of Interest tod Methodist All Who Are Sieh. One of the best known ministers in the Hamilton Conference is the Rev. Chas, E. Stafford, of Elora, Ont., who freely admits that he owes his present good health to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Stafford writes as follows; "Soule years ago I was severely af- flicted for a period of nearly four months. The leading physician in the town in whieh I was then stationed diagnosed my case as one of complete nervous prostration, brought on by over -work and which superinduced intercostal neuralgia and muscular rheumatism, from which I Buffered the most excruciating pain night and day for weeks, So weak and helpless did I become that my attendants had to handle me like an infant, raising me up and laying me down with the greatest care, so intense were my suf- ferings. Acting on the advice of my doctor, and taking his medicine, I did not seem to improve. One afternoon, while suffering great pain, the editor of the paper published in the town, and who was a member of the church of which I was then pastor, urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was sceptical as to the medicinal qualities of all proprietary medicines, but on the strong recommendation of the editor, who had great faith ia' the medicine,' I decided to try them. To My great surprise and supreme de- light, I soon found that the Pills were giving me relief, and after I had taken "seven boxes I was fully re- stored to health.

The Eton coat is Ground Than Ever, The great war will increase the sup- ply of fish in the North Sea. In re- cent years the'�decreased catch in the fishing grounds of northwestern Eu- rope has caused much concern. The great number of fishing vessels and the widespread use of the steam trawler have so injured the fisheries that the fishermen have been compel- led to go farther and farther afield to make a profitable haul. Now that this expanse of salt water is virtually closed to peaceful pursuits, the fish have a chance to multiply undisturb- ed. That they are doing so is already evident. The herring run has been of unprecedented size. It was left vir- tually unmolested,' and so will the mackerel run be in its turn. Un- doubtedly the ground fish, such as the plaice and the sole, will also profit through the idleness of the fishermen. Should the war be long, so that the North Sea is a prohibited area for two or three seasons, the fish will doubtless be, restored to their usual numbers—indeed, some people believe that at the end of the war the North Sea will be an even richer fishing ground than it ever was before. cL , Birc`ls`dgo on''singing 'at 'the Front, unperturbed by the heaviest shell- fire. • :bust measure, requiring in size 36 5% yards 36 -inch material.

MORE PAY FOR SERVANTS, Problem of Finding English He Grows Daily, Domestic servants can demand, a are obtaining more wages than bef the war, as they are becoming i creasingly difficult to find in Londo England. So many opportunities exist n for women to obtain work previousl given to men that young women wh or would have become, domedservants, now seek less rnonotonou employment, with more free hour and more spare cash to spend, The large majority of housewive therefore, who were accustomed t have one or two servants, have no to pay wages of from $100 to $125 it is said at a West End registr office, in order to attract to their ser vice girls who before the war woul work for $80 or $100 a year. Many curious advertisements ap pear in different journals which pub lish demands for women workers. The old question, "What to do wit our girls ?" is quite dead, even wit reference to the girls who have to turn out and earn a living without having any experience. Any woman nowadays can get some kind of work if she wishes. The war has effedtively killed snob- bery, and the girl who now cuts up the bacon in the provision shop may have received a better education and be of better birth than many of the customers she serves. "Wanted, a vegetable maid, $2.50 weekly and all found," is one adver- tisement recently noticed.
