The re- the Northern Hemisphere, and its heat led to an old Roman superstition, which has left its mark on our own speech. 5 Warm weather is not always too healthy, and July in Rome was fre quently a month of epidemics and high mortality. The Romans connected this with the rising and setting of the star Canicula--the Little Dog--in coin Id with the sun, and talked of sult is a kind of 1 speech. The drums are "talking." But the same system could obvious- ly not be applied to English, so an at- tempt is being made to work out an Morse code. After trying various plans, the most promising method has been found to be the use (ignoring the tones) of spacing only, each dot or dash being represented by two beats. The drums cary a mile or more, and in very favorable circumstances they can be heard as far as three miles. Messages can be sent hundreds of miles In a remarkably short time. ------ i "*Twas a Famous Victory." "It Is a great day for England," said William IV, as he lay on his death-bed on June 18th, 1837, and listened to the guns firing for the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. The Battle of Waterloo was fought by eighty thousand Fremch and two hundred and fifty guns, against sixty- geven thousand English, Hanoverians, and Belgians, assisted by a large num- ber of Prussians, who came in at the last moment. The British casualties on the field were fourteen hundred men killed and nearly five thousand wounded. Four adaptation of the drum-talk to the| the period of July 8rd to August 11th as the Dog Days.

Diet 1s an important word these days, a word that perhaps more than any other is supposed by many young women to hold the secret of health. A physician has this to say on the sub- ject: "As for diet, the average girl is apt to make one of two mistakes. One Is a tendency to overindulge in sweets, without sufficient physical exercise to burn up the excess food fuel. The other is to starve the body for the sake of being overthin. A slim, muscular figure is an asset; a body starved down to the point of low resistance Is a liability." -------- ee eee-- The safe way to send money by mall is by Dominion Express Money Order.
