DISCIPLINE AMONG ANIMALS. * ->v They Are Almost Governed by JMili- tary Regulations. €n these days of general interest in things military, it is interesting to know that certain animals - are . governed governed by what appear to be almost military regulations. Among animals only the gregarious, of course, show qiiStties of leadership and discipline. 7ild horses obey their leader more implicitly than any soldiers however well disciplined. Mustangs arè wary, difficult to approach, and almost impossible impossible to capture, owing to the devotion devotion with which they follow their leader and to a code of signals that they never disregard. """ A short, shrill neigh is the command command to flee; a long-drawn, far-carrying far-carrying nëigh is the rallying call when the herd is scattered; a squeal orders the stallions to stand ready to fight off dangerous beasts; and a wild snort indicates indicates the sight or scent of man. The snort of a mustang can be heard half a mile or more. Certain movements are also important important as signals. At the first hint of danger, the horse that detects it throws his head and tail high in the air, stands motionless, and gazes fixedly fixedly in the direction from which he anticipates trouble. Usually that is enough to put the entire herd on the alert. Should the enemy prove to be bears, wolves, or _ any foe against which the drove can defend itself, the "signal horse" dashes forward, prancing prancing from side to side, rearing, and striking the ground. Should their most dreaded enemy, man, be approaching, approaching, the horse will circle far in toward the main body, and as he turns for one last look he will snort out a trumpet-like blast. Then with a rush, a roar, and a clatter of hoofs, the entire herd is gone--the leader in front, the stallions in the rear, the colts in the middle. Even old, well-trained work horses when turned out to pasture will generally generally select a leader and be governed by him. The herd commander may be an old and gentle mare or the wildest wildest and " wariest horse of the drove. In the latter case the herd often becomes becomes almost as difficult to handle as so many wild horses, whereas the old mare will keep her drove in the most tractable conditions. The peccaries of Mexico have a battle cry . that is never disobeyed--a short, vicious squeal, quickly repeated, repeated, and kept up without ceasing. That noise drives the little beasts frantic; all within hearing rush to get into the fray, and nothing short of death stops their charge. If the hunter does not shoot his peccary so dead that it cannot emit a single dying squeal, his 4 <nly safety lies in instant flight. \ The peccary has also a note that sounds the retreat. It is a grunt some- tiling like the "woof! woof! woof!" of , a bear as he dashes away from danger. danger. An American guide who lives in Sonora, in Mexico, can imitate that note, and says that he can stampede a ■ gang of the brutes at will with it. The baboons of Africa probably have the best military regulations of any of the animals. While they are feeding in a dangerous place, they set sentries on every side--big wise, veteran veteran baboons that sit perfectly quiet and keep a vigilant watch. At a sharp bark of warning from one of these outposts, every ape ceases his occupation; occupation; even the babies hush their cries on the instant. At another bark, all may resume work or play; or, again, the second note may carry a different message; then the leader gives an order, and all retreat rapidly to the denser parts of the forest. "When travelling, these creatures have both a fronts and a rear guard. A half dozen powerful apes scout well in front of the main body, now inspecting inspecting the woods from the ground,- now climbing to the tops of the tallest tallest trees. If the traveller comes on a tribe of baboons, he usually sees "only one of the scouts, which bares his teeth savagely, barks once, and is gone. Farther away, the hunter may observe the whipping of branches, as the rest of the tribe retreat so .rapidly .rapidly that no man cart" overtake " them. Should the observer. happen upon the rear guard, he will observe that they behave differently from the scouts. Not silent or cautious, they constantly give quick, sharp commands, now angrily chiding some lagging youngster, youngster, or giving another a slap and a bite. As far as we know, the baboons are the only apes or s other animals that post a sentry at night. Commonly, they sleep in caves among the cliffs, and when all have retired to rest, you . may be sure that one of their number will be wide awake, sitting on some exposed rock or ? other point of vantage vantage from which he can see in every direction. Not even the leopard, the most determined foe of the baboon, dares to attack them at night unless he can surprise and kill the sentry. When attacked, they will fight in defense defense of their families until the last "man" is dead. Their Strength is Taxed and They are Victims ofWeakness ofWeakness and Suffering When there is a growing family to care for and the mother falls ill it is a serious matter. Many mothers who are on the go from morning to night, whose work, apparently, is never done, try to disguise their suffering and keep up an appearance of cheerfulness before their family. Only themselves know how they are distressed by backaches and headaches, dragging, down pains and nervous weakness; how their nights are often sleepless, and they arise to a new day's work, tired, depressed and quite unrefresh ed. Such women should know that their sufferings are usually due to lack of gôod nourishing blood.* They should know that the one thing they need above all others to give' them new health and strength is rich, red blood, and that among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their blood-making, health-restoring qualities. Every suffering suffering woman, every woman with a home and family to care for should give these Pills a fair trial, for they will keep her in health and strength and make her work easy. Mrs. G. Strasser, Acton West, Ont., says: "I am the mother of three children, and after each birth I became terribly run down; I had weak, thin blood, always always felt tired, and unable to do my household work. After the birth of my third child I seemed to be worse, and was very* badly run down. I was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. . I found the greatest benefit from the Pills, and soon gained my old-time strength. Indeed, after taking taking them I felt as well as in my girlhood,-and girlhood,-and could take pleasure in my work. I also used Baby's Own Tablets Tablets for my little ones, and have found them a splendid medicine for childhood childhood ailments." You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,- Brock- ville, Ont. --* GHOSTS ON ALLIES' SIDE. So Says French Writer, Quoting German German Prophecies. "Even the ghosts have pronounced Germany's doom," writes "Le Masque de Fer," who goes on to say that a collection of German spiritualistic prophecies has been found in France. One collection,-published in Leipzig in 1914, has a title the translation of which is: "The Universal War in Prophecy: Prophecy: Historical and Critical Studies of All the Predicitons Regarding the Universal War, and the Future of the German People." Instead of prophesying prophesying a German triumph, the predictions predictions are said to be all the other way. It is also recorded that on January 12, 1909, R. Knapp of Oottenhoefen published published in Zeitshrift fuer Okkultisme a series of "spirit communications," one of which says that the universal war will break out when least expected, accompanied by disasters the like of which mankind has never known before, before, and that "Germany will become so small that all its people can live in a single city." "Le Masque de Fer" adds: "Let us see to it that that city shall not be Paris." Gunpowder as Medicine. The use of gunpowder as medicine was very widely advocated in the eighteenth century, and, either taken inwardly or applied externally, was held to be a specific against rheumatism rheumatism and ague. In the "Compleat Housewife or Accomplished Gentle woman's Companion," a domestic pharmacopeia, published in 1712, appears appears the following remedy for fheu matism: "Let the party take of the finest glazed gunpowder as much as a large thimble may hold; wet it in a spoon with milk from the. cow and drink a good half pint of warm milk after it; be covered warm in bed, and sweat;, give it fasting about 7 in the morning and take this nine or ten mornings together." .* i A Logical Lunàtic. "Lunatics frequently return amusing amusing answers," says the superintendent of a great insane asylum. "One day a keeper was out walking with a number of harmless lunatics, and the party met a pedestrian not far from the railway tracks. With a nod toward the tracks, the traveler asked one of the lunatics : "Where does this railway go to?" "The lunatic surveyed him scornfully scornfully for-a moment, and" then replied: ""Nowhere. We keep it here to jrun trains on.' " Interesting Gossip About Prominent People. One of the few notable Englishmen who can talk Russian is Sir Arthur Nicolson, the Permanent Foreign Under-secretary. He learnt the language language in the five years he was at St. Petersburg. The palm for repartee among British British M.P.'s surely belongs to Mr. Tim Healy.. This was well illustrated when he murmured to the elector who said he would rather -vote for. the devil than for him: "Ah, yes, but perhaps your friend won't turn up!" Mr. Asquith, the British Premier,, is ageing rapidly under the stress of the enormous responsibilities the war has thrown on his shoulders. There was a time when he did not seem his age; now he suggests a man much older than one who has just completed his sixty-third year. King Manuel and his consort are frequently guests informally at Buckingham Buckingham Palace nowadays. Needless to say, Dom Manuel takes a. great interest interest in the war, as shown by the profuse display of maps in his Twickenham Twickenham mansion, and it is superfluous to add that his sympathies are on the side of the country where he has made his home. Who is the most picturesque-looking picturesque-looking man in the House to-day? Prôbr ably Mr. Yeo, with his white mous- tachios, his ruddy complexion, his great expanse of watch-chain, and his badge of all the Allies' flags. Also he is the user of the most picturesque language. To hear him on shirkers is quite a revelation on the elasticity of the English language.' It is true to say that rarely has there been a British general who has inspired- more regard amongst his staff than. Sir John French, and the reason is to be found not merely in the recognition of his able leadership, but in.'the generosity of spirit which prompts him tç acknowledge in the most appreciative terms the work of his subordinates. The man who is most making his mark in the labor world to-day is Mr. J . H. Thomas, M.P., the English rail- waymen's organizer. He is fearless and courageous. He does not hesitate to tell the railwaymen when he thinks they are wrong, as he did on the occasion occasion of the Great Western Railway strike, and when he thinks they are right he is an overwhelming advocate of their claims. His policy to-day is that strikes in war-time are criminal. Nothing is more delightful than a chat with Dr. Macnamara, the British Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, Admiralty, who has a fund of good stories. stories. Once he received the following invitation from a country clergyman: "If you like a day with the hounds I can mount you; we have a capital billiard-table billiard-table at the vicarage; I am a good judge of whiskey, and I smoke like a furnacé!". Dr. Mac. has a fine collection of curios, including an old- time pipe-case which his father used in the trenches before Sebastopol, and the medal for his work in Canada, which the old man received thirty- three years after it had been earned. One of the most interesting places in London at about five o'clock is the "Rag," otherwise the Army and Navy Club, the premier Service club. A friend of mine, home on forty-eight hours' leave from the Front, took me in there the other afternoon, says a writer in London Answers. The smoking-room was crammed with officers in both Services, most of them, like my friend, home for two days, some for twenty-four hours. A grave-faced, but quite youthful-looking youthful-looking staff-officer near me was talking to a brigadier-general about tactics in language appallingly technical. A V.C. sat at an adjacent table, and was, enjoying tea and toast with an admiral, admiral, and in one of the chairs near the window reposed a Dardanelles hero minus an arm and leg. Everywhere Everywhere about the great room was the buzz of talk, real live war talk, among men who for over a year have well-nigh lived in the valley of the shadow of death. In Addition to Shewing Position of .. Unprecedented Strength,; Bank has Made Increase in Net Profits over Previous Year--Large Increases in Deposits and 'Total Loans. The Annual Statement of the Royal Bank of Canada will likely prove one of thé pleasant surprises at the end of a peculiar banking year. In practically practically every respect it is the best report ever issued by the Royal. *A position of even exceptional strength was to be expected, but it is doubtful whether anyone had anticipated that under the unprecedented conditions of the past year it would be possible to even make a gain, in net profits. Such a showing, in times like these, is little short of remarkable, and must be accepted as an indication of the strong organization and valuable connections connections which the-Royal Bank has steadily built up i throughout the world. Of particular interest- in this regard is the satisfactory development of the important «connections which the Bank possesses] in Cuba and the West Indies. - Increases In All Departments. In the aggregate the Bank shows gains in every important department, and while it has shown an increase in profits over the previous year, it has, at the same time, established new records records in the percentages of both liquid assets and cash as well as in total deposits and total current loans. In face of such remarkable gains one naturally looks for some special reason for the growth of the Royal's business, and this results in one almost almost immediately hazarding the opinion opinion that the Bank is now beginning to enjoy the full benefits of the amalgamations amalgamations it has effected during the past few years. Large savings must gradually have been made and the whole organization steadily rounded out in a way that permitted of the employment of a very large percentage percentage of the Bank's funds even under less active trade conditions. Profit and Loss Statement. The profits for the fiscal year ending ending November 30th, 1915, were $1,905,576.57, equal to 16.48% on the capital, compared with $1,886,142.67, or 16.31% in the previous year. As the amount at the credit of profit and loss at the end of the previous year totalled $614,062.25, this, with the profits for the current year, brought the total amount available for distribution distribution up to $2,519,638.82. Of this amount dividends took $1,387,200, $100,000 was transferred to officers' pension fund, $250,000 written off Bank premises account, $105,966 applied applied as war tax on the Bank's note circulation, leaving the amount to be carried forward to profit and loss at the end of the year $676,472.16. f Features of Strength. In the - statement ofassets and liabilities liabilities almost every account seems to contribute something to the general strength of the whole exhibit. Of more particular interest are the striking striking .gains made in liquid assets, deposits, deposits, total call and current loans, and, in consequence,' in the total assets assets of thé Bank. The assets reached a new high level at $198,299,123, compared with $179,- 404,054 at the eiid of the previous year, à gain of practically $20,000,- 000. Of the total amount liquid assets assets reached a record level by touch-? ing $84,894,462, equivalent to 49.03 % of liabilities to the public, against $71,244,677 or 40.06% last year. Included Included in the liquid assets were actual cash holdings of $31,923,680, equal to 18.43% of liabilities to the public, up from $27,683,865 or 17.90% in 1914. The deposit in the central gold reserve was increased by a million, bringing it up to $3,000,000. An indication of the Royal's steady expansion is afforded by the growth in deposits, which amounted to over $18,000,000 in the year, the deposits not' bearing interest having increased to $37^456,997 from $31,224,129, and deposits bearing interest to $117,519,- 330 from $164,827,078, making a total total of $154,976,327, against $136,051,- 208. As indicated by the increase in earning power, there were substantial substantial gains in total call and current loans, the call loans both in and outside outside of Canada having advanced to $18,951,000, against $14,654,000, and total current loans in and outside ' of Canada $106,551,000, against $99,587,- 000, an increase of close to $7,'000,000. Looked upon as one of the younger of the bigger Banks, the Rayai has certainly made phenomenal strides, and its ability to exhibit such a statement statement under the conditions that prevailed prevailed during the past year augur, wéll for its further growth and expansion expansion once conditions in the country country become more normal.

The east window of St. Margaret's Church, adjoining Westminster Abbey, Abbey, which has been called the finest specimen of stained glass work in London, is being removed to a place of safety, in view of the recent Zeppelin Zeppelin raids. .

Breathe all the fresh air you can get, night and day. That's what fresh air is for. The fearsome legend about the baleful influence, of-"night air" is only another of the carefully nursed insanitary bequests from our ancestors, according to Senior Surgeon Surgeon Banks of the United States Public Public Health Service. When this superstition arose may only be surmised. Perhaps it is a survival of the primeval cult, of sun worship, which led the ancients to fear anything outside the sphere of solar influence. Our forbears were wont to caution their offspring to "be careful about the night air," or children children were ordered to "come in out of the night air." This idea is generally prevalent, and even one of our well-known flowers is loaded down with the horrible horrible name of "Deadly Nightshade" as a sort of verbal relic of this old notion. notion. The low-lying mist x>r fog that sometimes gathers about thé surface of the earth under certain atmospheric.; atmospheric.; conditions,' after sunset, was held^--is held--to be "miasmatic" and pregnant with lethal possibilities. The night air, minus the sun, is no different from the atmosphere of a sunless day. The atmosphereic envelope envelope of the earth does not change from benign to malign in the twinkling twinkling of an eye after sundown. A story from the trenches in France is that a soldier wrote home to his wife to open her windows at night, as he had found that the night air "didn't hurt one bit/' That is the experience of all the advocates of this sensible custom---once tried the old custom of sealing oneself in an. airtight airtight bedroom is never renewed.- Diseases which involve the lungs can usually be traced to their beginning beginning in poorly ventilated sleeping apartments, inside rooms that do not have a share of the atmosphere. Those emancipated persons who open their windows at night will tell you, unanimously, that they cannot breathe in a chamber unless the window window is raised; their sense of comfort and vigor demands the life-giving qualities of fresh air.
