As rule: observation mines are laid in lines stretching right across a harbor, with visible buoys at each extreme end. The buoys indichte the line of mines so that the officer in charge of the firing station can easily observe, except when a fog is on, a ship passing over the line. In laying minés engineers have a very dificult task. While the mines must be so placed as to stop a Hos- tile fleet at all titnes and id all hers, they mniust not interfere the sale passage of friendly vessels. In 1 fime our harbors are laid with t | types' of mines--the ob- servation mine, the automatic mine, snd the electro-contact mine. The Iast-named is probably the most ef- fective of the trio. Directly a ship's bow runs against the electro-comtact mine a bell is rung in a firing station on shore & good distance inland.

In these days thé use of agricul- tural machinery has driven almost all manual labor from' the harvest field, and with it have disappeared most of the quaint customs which endeared the season to the farmer as well as his men, One old-fashioned Gloucestershire farmer, however, still keeps up as many of the old customs as he can. All his wheat, barley, and oats are cut by the hand, just as in the days of half a century ago. The first sheat in each of his wheatfields Ne has al ways cut himself, and the binding, or tying together, of it has always been done by hix wife, It was a quaint idea of his own. When the réapers, to the number of three of four, are ready to begin, he appears in the field, armed with a, bright sickle sacred to the occasion, with which he solemnly proceeds to cut the first sheaf. Just as solemnly | his spouse, who accompanies him, | takes up a handful of the newly-cut, wheat and with it ties the sheaf to- gether. Rrefréshmeénts are then passed round to the waiting reapers, and,! bidding them Godspeéd in their' work, the farmer and his better half leave them to it. If they make a neat, 'even stubble, they always re- ceive an extra shilling or two for their pains.---Sheffleld Weekly Tele- graph. A Cure For Hecklers. R. R.

'I'o do this, shout four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retis | ing; use emough to moisten tho: scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this to-night, and by mora most, if not all of your dandruff wil be gane, and three or four more appli. cations, will completely dissolve entirely destroy, every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan- droff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching nad digging oi the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be flufiy lus- trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless; and evervone notices it. You can get Tiquid arvon at any drug store.
