Because Britain Refuses To Pass edicines jerlin, Nov 17.-- (Wireless via Sayville)~--Under the heading *'Brit- ish humanity" the overseas News Agency issued the following: "The semi-official Norde Deutsche Allgemaine Zeitung publishes a let- ter frem the American Red Cross to the president of the German Red Cross stating that the American Red Cross is unable to send to Germany certain. medical supplies since the British Government has refused to permit their exportation. "he Am- erican Red Cross further states that it will now ask the British Govern. ment direct for permission to pass these medicines. "If the American Red Cross can- not obtain the British government's permission to transport tlfese sup- plies to German hospitals, no other government in the future will receive supplies of this kind since the Am. erican Red Cross takes the view that will be impossible to send to one country things that cannot' be sent to another, "The Norde Deutsche Zeitung adds that the British Government has reached the stage of pettifogging in ite mania for blockading Germany. It likens it to the British practice of transporting war material on hospit- al ships under the label of soft soap, regarding which practice sworn state. ments are in German hands."

Church Union, Vote in Hamilton. Hamilton, Nov. 17.--In the first five of the Presbyterian congrega- tions to vote on church union in Hamilton, namely, St. John. Central, Knox, Calvin, and St. Paul's, majori- ties have been given against the union movement. It seems certain now that this city as a whole will vote against union, as the churches above referred to have all changed materially since the last was ta- ken. The majority against the movement thus far is in the neigh: berhood of 700. | Fashions of 4 000 Years Ago Coming TRACED-TO A TEUTON OFFICIAL | Back Into Style. Fashions 4,000 years old are now being revived, according to srchaep- logists who have made studies of wo- men's dress down the ages. A scholar well versed in the characteristics of the great civilization which bas been laid bare by the excavations in te in the last 15 years, was stroflihg down the avenue the other afternoon when he stopped in amazement be- fore the window of a well-known Fifth avenue costumer. There, on 8 form in the show window, was one of the newest fashions--a bodice drawn Zio fit tight about the waist, with a deep V at the throat and a high cel- | lar rising behind the neck, and a flar- ing skirt with four or five ruffles fall- ing over each other in almost the shape of a bell. "Amazing!" he exclaimed to his companion. "Almost an exact replica of the faience figures of the earth goddess which Sir Arthur Evans dis- covered at Knossos!" The companion, who had never heard of Sir Arthur Evans, Knosses, or an earth goddess, demanded that he be shown; so the archaeologist took him back to his study and show- ed him there a little figure--a copy of the original found in Crete-- which had a strange similarity to the waxen lady in the window. There was a short-sleeved, tight-waisted bodice of dark orange, with purple ribbons; a heavy belt; and a flaring skirt with: seven flounces, made in a checkerboard pattern of dark purple and light blue "That lady," said the archaelogist, "is either the earth goddess or one of her priestesses, and the figure was made probably 2,000 years be- fore Christ It was found in the re- mains of the capital of the Cretan kingdom, which was contemporan- eous with the palmy days of Egypt and Babylonia. "This gown is a fair specimen of the genera) style of the dress of the Cretan woman of tle upper classes, The flaring skirt, the narrow waist, the low-cut corsage tically constant characteristics. They often wore transparent waists with heavier jackets over them, the-gen- eral effect being strikingly modern. "Hats were usually made with rather low crowns and wide brims, but, while in classical Greece and Rome there was little variation om that medel, the Cretans had about as many kinds and conditions of hats as any age up to the present. Usually the brim was turned up before or be- hind, or all around, and there was considerable use of ribbons and other trimmings. A conical hat surrounded by a rolled brim and decorated with three rosettes sounds modern, but the mode! is 3,400 years old. "Cretan women usually wore their hair in long ringlets down on the shoulders, generally leaving a devas- tating curl on the forehead, which, combined 'with their big, dark eyes, must have had a positively irresist- ible effect. "The Cretans were expert shoe- makers, too--far ahead of any other anciént people; and the elaborateness of their dress shoes found hardly any parallel in the subsequent history of the world until the epidemie of back and side lacings and colored scroll- work decorations, which fell on New York this spring." 'How about men's clothing?" the scientist was asked. "If women are coming around to the Cretan fash- ions, are not the men of our day likely to do the same?" The scholar threw up his hands. "God forbid!" he:cried. "In times of peace the men of Crete wore no- thing much but shoes, a belt, and a loin cloth." Motor Laundries in the War. One of the most progressive things in the war is the motor laundry for field hospital corps. It consists of four cars, the leading one being a powerful motor truck which carries the movable steam mangle. The se- cond car has the complete steam out- fit--boiler, machinery--also a drying cabinet and a disinfecting tank. The third car contains the washing ma- chine, the drying drums, pumps for hot and cold water, and a condenser for steam in case the only. available water ig too hard for washing, The! fourth car or truck brings along all the washing necessaries---soap, soda, coal, gasoline, and tools. When sta- tionary the trucks are formed in a horseshoe and covered by g tent. The motor when free of the gle runs to and fro to gather up the soiled linen, Most of the things are wrung almost dry in the mangle, but the "woolles"" want gentler treat- ment, so they are put in the drying cabinet which is heated by the motor. Truth That 'Hurt. Miss Singwell had been 'a member of the choral society ever since it had been in existence, and it was un- doubtedly true that her first youth had waned. But the choirmaster was astounded recently by the news that she bad resigned her membership. "Resigned!'! he gasped, "But whatever for?" "Well, I don't know exactly," said the secretary, "but it strikes me that it may have something to do with the solo w- picked for her at the next performance." "Why? What is it?" "Don't you remember? It begins, 1 once was young, but now am old." Human Nature Always the Same. One evening a little boy entered a grocery store and handed the clerk a note which read: "I am a poor wo- man and bave no money. My éhil- dren and I are starving. Won't you give us something to eat?" The kind-hearted clerk filled a large basket with food and gave it to the boy, who quickly departed. In a few minutes he again entered the store. .

British Covernment advertised f bids of silk for the Holy Veil. This annul gift has done wore than anything else tp keep Egypt loyal to England and deaf to Turkey + When Turkey sent fanatics thysughout Egypt to stir up a "holy war" the natives of Egypt pointed to the Holy Veil as evidence of Eng- land's understanding and sympathy with Mohammedanism. Again the time for the making of the veil has come, and an order has been placed for raw silk, of which 1,193 pounds are needed. | The Holy Veil is used for the cov- ering in Mecca, Arabia, of the Ka'aba, a building almost forty feet cube, into the south-west corner of which is built a small black meteoric sthne, a litfle larger than the size of a man's hand, reported to have been given to Abraham by the Archangel Gabriel. The Ka'aba is supposed to be erected on the spot where Abraham offered up Isaac in sacrifice. It is the very central point of Mohammedan faith, The Ka'aba, except for about fif- teen days in the year, is covered from sight by a veil. In Mohammed's life, and for some years afterward, this veil was made of a striped Ye men cloth. But when 'the Moham- medan caliphs rose to power and wealth--such as that of Haroun-al- Raschid, of "Arabian Nights" fame-- it became the custom of the caliph to present each year a marvellously beautiful brocaded silk veil to cover the entire structure. When the caliphate dynasties fell it became more and more dificult for the Mohammedans to secure this costly veil each year, and wealthy men secured paradise for themselves by making a present of such a veil when the old one became worn. When England secured control of Egypt, English diplomats showed a wise understanding of native customs by making the Mohammedans feel that the old days of the glories of Egypt bas returned. They promised to give annually to Mecca a brocaded veil to cover the entire building, as "has been dome by caliphs of a thow- sand years before. Now, every year, there is specially woven a heavy veil of black brocaded silk, covering nearly 8,000 square feet of material. The lower edges are bordered with verses "from the Koran, worked in gold bullion thread. This Kisma or Holy Veil is remov- ed from the Ka'aba on the 25th day preceding the annual feast and the building is left bare until the 10th of the month succeeding. On the third day of the feast the old Kisma is cut into small pieces and these are sold to the faithful. As there are 221,000,000 Moham- medans, and each is expected to make a pilgrimage to Mecca once in his life often mearly a million people gather for the feast. Large though the veil is, the poor pilgrims can sometimes only secure a few threads of it. The British Government follows the tradition of the Mohammedans, and the entire veil is made by native Egyptians who are hajji, or believers who have made the pilgrimage to Mecea. An official of the Govern ment accompanies the veil till it is nearly to its destination, Lightning as Cure. When a man is struck by lightning, in nine cases out of tem it is either "kill or cure," for, though many deaths occur as a result of lightning Pstroke, marvellous cures of infirmity are often effected by the same means. The other day the papers reported the case of a man who had been deat dor three years being struck by lightning. For some time he was un- conscious. When he regained con- sciousness he found, to his delighe, that he could hear once more. In another case lightning was the cause of the restoration of sight. Fer some time, owing to age and infirm- ity, a man had lost the sight of his right eye. He never expected to re- gain it. Walking along a common he was caught in a thunderstorm; the lightning struck him, but, far" from ing him bodily harm, he found, when he had got over the shock, that he could see with his right eye as | well as with his left, The has just Fresh Fish Balls, With a silver fork pick some rems nants of cooked fish and. sprinkle with salt and pepper.

"WINSTON™ AT HOME. Churchill is Fall of Fun and Boyish Pranks. The popular conception of Mr. Winston Churchill is that he is a deli- cate man, who works on his nerves This impression, no ; doubt, arises from his pallor, his very white, fair skin making him look de- licate. This is accentuated by his al- most constant habit of bending his head forward, which gives him the appearance of a slight stoop, The real truth is, however, that Mr.. Churchill i§ a strongly-built, muscular person. who takes a very healthy interest in his meals. "With Winston dinner is a sacred institu- tion," says The Strand Magazine. He never misses his grub. Very. few men could preform the amount of work which he does, and fewer still could bear the constant strain ard anxiety to which he has been sub- jected for many months past. Mr. Churchill starts work early in the morning. If you are privileged to interview him in his bedroonr,ssay | at eight o'clock, you will ind him sit- ting up in bed busily writing page after page of memoranda or dictat- ing to bis shorthand writer. Mr. Churchill writes a beautiful hand, and makes comparatively few altera- | tions in what he writes. He has the literary mind and literary habit. He thinks over his sentences before he writes them, and, as a rule, when written they require very little change. He usualy rises about nine o'clock, and in-the course of dressing fre- | quently does more writing or dictat: | ing. After he has dressed, if his en- gagements will permit, he takes a short ride in the Park, either alone or with Mrs. Churchill, A delightful companion, always full of interesting subjects for con- versation, he has a fund of good stories, and is always ready with some opposite 'allusion. Mr. Churchill has a wonderful memory for verses. Three of his fav- orite' poets are Burns, Kipling, and Lindsay Gordon. Long before the war he was fond of quoting Burns' well-known verse: For gold the merchant ploughs the main, The farmer ploughs the manor; But glory is the sodger's prize, The sodger"s wealth is honor. The brave poor sodger ne'er despise, Nor count him as a stranger; Remember he's his country's stay In day and hour of danger. Mr. Churchill has many relaxa-| tions; one of his chief delights is the preparation and delivery of a fine peroration. He already uses spectacles for reading and writing, and his face bears evidence of much mental work | and responsibility. He is a singular combination of youthfulness and age. He loves to wear rather old-fashion- ed-looking hats and clothes. On the other hand, when away from work he is ofeen full of fun and boyish pranks. Tact in the Army.
