It must be very hard for politicians to behave as though they respected each other. When a man passes his seventieth birthday he can generally remember a lot of things that never happened. Most women have two dispositions --one for home use and one for outside. outside. This is also true of most men. If girls were as careful in choosing husbands as they are in choosing hats there would be about one marriage a month. - . Some girls seem to think that love is so blind that a fellow will not notice notice the powder on her face unless he tastes it. When a pretty girl is talking about a plain girl she is always generous enough to admit that the plain girl has a beautiful nature. This world would be a happier place if people could answer a simple question question without making a speech about it for half an hour. The old-fashioned man who used to get up at 4 a.m. and milk the cows, now has a son who swears at the milk man for rattling the cans at 6.30. What has bèconie of the . old-fashioned, old-fashioned, freckle-faced country boy, who generally had his big toe tied in a bandage, and who always said "Yes, sir," and "No, sir," when you spoke to him? The Little Girl Replied. The superintendent of a Sunday School was one afternoon explaining to his scholars the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal; how Elijah built an altar, put wood upon it, and cut a bullock in pieces and laid it on the altar. "And then," said the superintendent, superintendent, "he commanded the people people to fill four barrels with water, and to pour it over the altar; and they did this four times. Now, I wonder if any boy or girl can tell me why the water was poured over the bullock bullock on the altar?" There was silence silence for a few moments, when one little girl spoke up--"Please, sir, to make the gravy." 'O.K.' as an expression of satis faction is derived from. "Aux Cayes, from which once the best tobacco and rum came. Ultimately everything of the. best was designated "O.K." Ever since the beginning of the war one has heard from time to time of the famous- plan of the first Earl of Dundonald for' the destruction of any army against which England might be fighting. Lord Dundonald invented it when he was Admiral Lord Cochrane and he guaranteed with its aid to overcome overcome any enemy against whom he was sent. . It is now a full hundred years ago since this famous invention was put in a pigeon-hole, and 'during all that time it has remained one of the secret documents of the State. It was rejected in the first place as being outside civilized warfare. Twice Government committees are said to have examined the plan during the first half of the nineteenth century, only to put it back into its pigeonhole pigeonhole again as being too cruel. At the beginning of this war Lord Dundonald's famous plan was talked of again. Nothing, however, was heard as to what it was until recently, recently, when Prof. V. B. Lewes in a lee. ture to the Society of Arts gave A Description Of It, B 31 shall always contain only the finest, freshest young leave Black, Mixed and Green ing are chlorine, bromine, nitrogen, tetroxide and sulphur. dioxide. All ;hese can be neutralized quite simply--respirators simply--respirators rand a bucket of washing soda solution in the trenches to dip them in are a simple and efficacious efficacious remedy. According to Prof. Lewes these gas attacks do not worry the British troops so much now, as they are pre- pare&for them. The respirators and helmets have proved perfectly satisfactory, satisfactory, and there are many problems problems connected with the density of the gases in relation with the air as well as wind currents which make the successful use of poisonous vapors vapors by no means a simple problem. AROUND THE WORLD. -»>- Our Affairs Require Tact Makes the Indolent Active, the Slovenly Neat and Clean in Person and Appearance. "For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more."--I. Corinthians Corinthians ix., 19. Wonderful are the innumerable things accomplished by tact. To do or say the right thing at the proper time and place illustrates what tact is or ought to be. Through a peculiar fac-< ulty of its own to facilitate and ad^pt words and actions to time, place and the circumstance of them, the tactician tactician usually produces excellent and pleasing results. The achievements' of St. Paul compare in his line with Caesar, Napoleon and other military lights famous in history for expert tactical work. Paul strove in all durance and that of persons exercis- ing it. Too observant of the phases of .life admire tact as seen in our households, the kitchen and drawing room. Victory in war, success in politics or the professions, apart from intellectual acumen of the man is greatly due to tact, which must be circumspect in all it assumes. To bring people to our way of thinking thinking in disposing of our affairs requires tact. There's nothing repellent about tact. The tactical will draw, mesmerize, mesmerize, magnetize and, if permitted, we naine it as something captivating, fascinating, fascinating, charming. Disorder is out of line with tact, because there is no unity about it.

A77a E SÜ - LA ± Y h 1 DEL IN "C . - The German "war bread," of potatoes potatoes and rye flour, so highly recommended recommended by German authorities as a substitute for wheat bread, is proving unpalatable and catising much stomach stomach and other digestive trouble, says 1 an editorial in the New York Medical Journal. The German people are being,urged by military and civil authorities to eat as much of the war bread as possible, and forego wheat bread because the war bread can be made from products of which Germany has an abundance, without drawing upon the small wheat supply. Notwithstanding the patriotic and economic grounds on which the people are supposed to enjoy this bread, the editorial says that it is so distasteful to many that they do not 'chèw it enough. "To this are probably probably due a great many of the symptoms," symptoms," it says. "Flatulence is frequent. frequent. This' is thought to be/due to the swallowing of large, tough lumps of bread which are hardly affected by the pancreatic secretion. Thorough Thorough mastication of the bread will prevent these troubles." profitable things to himsëlf but to the many, tffat all .might be saved. His discernment in sizing up situations and acting on them with little apparent apparent notice, ended as intended by him. Nothing more should remain for the warrior and statesman to be desired in the artful and evolutionary manipulations manipulations of tact than to carry out all that was planned from the beginning. Degrees of tact differ as grade's differ differ in every department of life. Tacticians Tacticians to the manner born rate higher than those who acquire the knowledge of it by study and labor. The former are better fitted, more opportune and quick by nature to perceive and act promptly in the adjustment of matters matters submitted to them. A word or gesture with men in joy or sorrow effectively effectively given sand accepted signifies tact. Special Order of Tact. Again, kindliness of feeling is unpretentious unpretentious tact pure and simple. Gifted in some, tact, of course, will improve improve with study. Study, as you may, labored tact is apt to be inaccurate, wanting in finesse and less courteous in its bearings. Traits characteristic of tact are chiefly based on patience and forbearance. forbearance. Without them we -are liable to err. Children and foolish people exhibit a want of tact. Not wishing to attribute tact too much to genius or natural talent; we may add a seemly aid to this commendable and high class culture by caution and the pare we use in the practice of it in all we say and do, and do quickly. Diplomacy is a special order of tact that ranks above other comparisons simply by the quality of its own eri- which shows that it was nothing more or less than the German plan .of using asphyxiating gases. Dundonald's Dundonald's prescription was: "Fires fed with tar and pitch to give dense columns of smoke which would act as a screen for the attack; sulphur burned on the fires to generate generate sulphur dioxide gas, which would produce asphyxiating fumes and aid the attack." The professor added that the idea was revived in the early stages of the present war, hut the Government refused refused to consider it. Talking after the lecture Prof. Lewes said that the details of the plan had never been made public with the exception of a reference to them in the memoirs of a Cabinet Minister published soon after the war began. "The inhalation of à very small proportion proportion of this gas," says the professor, professor, causes coughing and spitting of flood; and four volumes in ten thous and of air render it unbreathable. Tf the sufferer escapes from the zone within a reasonable period the effects of this gas pass off, but the German method is more inhuman, as they employ chlorine gas, which, if it does not kill the men, leaves them in most frightful agony and Injures the Lungs for Life. 'Dunddnald merely proposed to use sulphur fumes to make the enemy bolt; the Germans use their gases to asphyxiate." The professor - does not advocate retaliation with gas, as the whole es- sense of the gas attack is surprise. The chief gases the Germans are us- FEARFUL ATROCITIES.

United States farmers are still moving into Western Canada. Glasgow flour mills put out 26,000 sacks of flour of 280 pounds weekly. Argentina has 29,500,000 cattle and 9,700,000 horses. Alaska has the greatest fishing waters waters in the world. Cement was known and used in an* cient Rome. An eel with pink eyes was recently captured in Massachusetts waters. * The following letter has been received received by a Dundee gentleman from a member of the South African Union Forces operating against the Germans Germans in South-West Africa:-- Before coming here I was not prepared prepared to believe all the stories we heard about German atrocities on the Continent, but I would believe anything anything about them now. This village (Reheboth) is practically owned by cross-bred German Hereros (or bastards, bastards, as we call them) who helped the Germans against the Hottentots and Hereros some time ago. It seems that the Germans who got away from us after our fight at Gibeon came on here and ordered these half-castes to help them against us. This they refused refused to do, and they were thereupon ordered to give up their arms. When this was done the Germans sent out patrols, who shot as many of them as they could, murdering the women and children,, and throwing their dead bodies on blazing waggons. The half- j castes then got together and chased the Germans to Windhoek, killing a few on the wayT An Englishman who j has lived here for 25 years, and was with the half-castes at the time, tells ; me that he saw a child taken from its ! mother's breast and cut in two with 1 a sword by a German. Dogs Know German Shells. A letter from Rheims, France, says: "Dogs distinguish the whistle of German shells perfectly. As soon as they hear them, even when our own are whistling at the same time and people do not know which is which, the dogs show their terror in one way or another. They moan, run for shelter, go down to the cellar, and come up again if their masters"have not followed them. A cat, which is let down in a basket in case of danger, danger, gets into it itself as soon as the whistle of an enemy's shell is heard. But the birds, sparrows, chaffinches, goldfinches, &c., are not in the least perturbed by cannonading. And the owls continue their usual hooting." Only One. "What, marry my daughter, sir?" cried the rich old man; "why, she's my only child." The young man smiled. smiled. "Oh, that's all right," he said, undaunted; "you see, sir, one was all I wanted." Positively Unbearable. One of the wealthy members of a fashionable church approached her pastor with the complaint that she was greatly disturbed by one of her neighbors. "It's positively unbearable!" unbearable!" said she. "That man in the pew in front of me destroys all my devotional and pious feelings when he attempts to sing. Couldn't you ask him to change his pew?" The good pastor was sorely perplexed. After After a few moments' reflection he said^ "Well, I naturally should feel a little delicacy on that score, more especially especially as I should have to give a reason. But I will tell you what I might do. I might ask him to join the choir!" There are just over 320,000 Indians in the United States.
