The marshes were very green and the scattered waters very blue, and little | white clouds roamed oné by one across the sky like grazing sheep on a meadow. On the hills around stood elms, and grey churches, and red farms, and yellow fricks, painted bright by the sharp subshine. And very distinct on the marshes there lay the village which is always full of people, and yet is the home of nothing except death. In the glare it showed that like so many institutions of the war it has the disordered and fantastic quality Of a dream. It consists of a number of huts, some like the Government. bullt cottages for Irish laborers, and some like the -air shelters in a Sanatorium, scattered over five hun- dred acres; they are connected by raised wooden gangways and inter- spersed with green mounds and . It is of such vital im- portance to the State that it is ring- ed with barbed wire entanglements and patrolled by sentries, and its pro- ducts must have sent tens of thou- sands of our enemies to their death, And it is inhabited chiefly by pretty young girls clad in a Red-Riding- Rood fancy dress of khaki and scar- ot.

One girl stands high on a plat- form against the wall, filling the cor- dite paste into one of the two great iron présses, and when she has fin- ished with that she swings round the other one on a swivel with a fine free gesture. The other girls stand round the table laying out the golden cords in graduated sizes from the thickness of rope to the thinness of A Ihackeray, macaroni, the clear khaki and scarlet Fight. of their dresses shining back from the wet floor in a perpetually chang- ing pattern as they move quickly about their work. They look very young in their pretty, childish dress- es, and one thinks them good chil- mn for working so diligently. And it\ occurs to one as something in- credible that they are now doing the last three hours of a 12-hours' shift. He Was a Doubter. Lady Jellicoe says that this inci- dent actually occurred when she was helping at the London Bridge free buffet for sailors and soldiers. One of the lady assistants asked a sailor if he knew who had served him. "No," he replied. "That was Lady Jellicoe," said the assistant. "Do you know who you are talking to?" then asked the sailor. "No," said the lady. "I am Winston Churchill," said the doubting sailor, with a grin, A Corps of Sharpshooters, African sharpshooters may soon be proving their skill in Flanders. Colonel Sir Abe Bailey, K.C.M.G., who recently visited England, at the request of General Botha, was much impressed during a visit he paid to the British front in France by the value of sharpshooters. As a result he has decided to raise, equip, and transport to Europe one hundred South African sharpshooters, who will receive regulation rates of pay, which Sir Abe will supplement, For Yo Express)!

Thackeray easily contrived to make me thoroughly in- terested in the matter, and disputed the correctness of my memory as to some event mentioned in Allan But- ler's 'Hagiology." 'However,' said 'we'll soon see who is Just get down for me that k up there on the third shelf from the top. You'll have to mount the steps.' Obediently I ascended the library ladder, and endeavored to pull the book in question out of its place. It stuck; it would not come out. 'Try again," said Thackeray, who was standing on the hearth-rug watching my proceedings with con- siderable interest. I did try again; and again; and was about to make a third and violent effort, when Thack- eray roared with laughter. 'They're all dummies!' he cried. I felt con- siderably 'sold.' 'But,' he added pleasantly, 'I do not think the book is in this room. If you will go into the room you've just left--out of here-- you'll find it, I fancy, on the side table.' { '" 'Certainly,' I said, eager to show my readiness, and to put myself on the best. possible terms with the great man.

Ye Gentlemen of England. This old English song, written by | Martin Parker, was a great favorite | with British tars years ago. Ye gentlemen of England That live at home at ease, Ah! little do ye think upon The dangers of the seas. Give ear unto the mariners, And they will plainly show All the cares and all the fears When the stormy winds do blow, When the stormy windg do blow, If enemies oppose us, When England is at war | With any foreign nation, ; { We fear not wound or sear; Our roaring guns shall teach 'em | Our.valor well to know, Whilst they reel on the keel, | And the stormy winds do blow. | And the stormy winds do blow, Then courage, all brave mariners, And never be dismayed; While we have hold adventurers, Wa ne'erishall want a trade: ! Our merchants will employ us To fetch them wealth, we know; Then he bold--work for gold, | When the stormy winds do blow. | Mare's Fate in Question, | The question whether a mare on which a Belgian circus proprietor | escaped from the Germans should be | destroyed came before the cer | at Reading recently. When the Ger- mans blew up the circus, near Na- mur, and killed or captured = more | than sixty of the horses, the owner | escaped on his favorite mare. He came .to England and gave perform- ances at Reading, where he was con- | victed of cruelty to this * mare, and! fined 10s, an order being made for | the animal to be destroyed. He ap- | pealed against that conviction. Ex- | pert witnesses were called on each | side, and eventually the Recorder upheld the magistrate's decision with regard to cruelty, but adjourned the ghestion whether the mare should be estroyed to the next quarter ses- sions, Meanwhile sympathizers will look after the animal.
