Mrs. der, the famous autho of "There is a Green Hill," reached seventy-seven, whilst Harriet Auber, the authoress of "Our Blest Redeem- er," died one year short of ninety. Whittier, who has enriched real literature with some splendid hymns, died at eighty-five; Charles Wesley, the author of "Hark the Herald An- gels,' at eighty; and his still more famous brother, who made some of the finest hymn translations in the language, at eighty-eight.

St. Thomas' Day (December 21st) was formerly devoted to the custom of "gooding." This ancient castom, which seems to have been practised only by women, is now almost dead; but it can be traced as late as 1813 in Kent, 1854 in Northamptonshire, and 1857 in Staffordshire. Represen- tatives from each of the poorer fam- ilies of the parish wént round to thelr fortunate neighbors ask- ing for alms. Thy. clergyman was expected to give a shilling to each ap- plicant, Sometimes the gifts were in kind, and if a farmer gave corn the miller would grind it gratis. In some places the money collected was distributed in the church vestry by the clergy- man and church-wardens on the next Sunday, which was called . Doleing Day, the fund being known as St. Thomas' Dole. The women general- ly presented their benefactors with sprigs of evergreens for the decora- tion of their houses at the ensuing festival. In Belgium the custom of keeping St. Thomas' Day is rather different. Children on that day shut and bar the doors against their parents, who can only gaia readmission on giving a4 promise of sweetmeats. In like manner apprentices close the doors upon their masters, who bargain with their employes as to the granting of the concessions which they demand as a condition of opening the doors. A Lesson in Astronomy. The late Sir Robert Ball, the A few weeks ago a case was brought before a London magistrate which threw an interesting sidelight on the manner in which bogus sol- diers obtain their uniforms. Found masquerading in the uniform of a Sussex regiment, a suspected. "sol dier" was questioned by the police, and, as he had no identification pa- pers, was taken into custody. He then admitted that he was not a sol- dier; and had never been one. He ultimately told the military au-| thorities that he had exchanged his clothes with a soldier, and as all identification marks on the uniform had been removed, it was impossible to trace'the real owner. Other bogus soldiers obtain their uniforms from persons in the East-end, who do a &ood business in this direction. It is a favorite dodge of these men, when they have got a uniform, to call on the various charitable aid societies, and on the plex of distress obtain money and food. More serious, however, are the swindles carried out by plausible rogues who masquerade up and down the country as officers, stay at the best botels, ard disappear without paying their bills. Giving false re- ferences, they call upon jewelers, tailors, and anyone else whom they think they can swindle, order goods to be sent to the hotel where they are staying, and vanish without pay- ing at the most favorable opportan- ity. Impressed with the fact that the swindler is an officer and staying at one of the swagger hotels, whil¢ his references seem above suspicion, many tradespeople have fallen vie- tims to these swindlers. A common dodge is to obtain a complete officer's outfit from a West- end tailor, giving him the name of some prominent officer serving abroad as reference. The. tailor, making inquiries, finds there is such an officer, and it is not until he fails to obtain the money for the goods supplied that he discovers that he was not dealing with a genuine sol- dier. : 'Water-Boats. ; Every drop of water consumed by the Allied Fo! in the Dardanelles had to be brought to the peninsula in water-boats.

A huge fleet of tank-ships and water-barges worked continually, bringing water to Gallipoli, and French Army engin- eers have built several big under- ground cisterns, each holding many thousand gallons, so that there was always a supply of water in reserve.
