London, England. The story is told by Captain H. Lucy of the British Naval Reserve, :a sailor highly respected and well 'known throughout the Mediterran- ean waters, who took part in the Darda nelles campaign. bo' .\reerding to Captain Lucy's infor- mant. who called himself Triggs, although Lury believes this to have been an assumed name, and who told the tale to Lucy in Melbourne, the voyage of the Marie Celeste was uneventful until near the roast of Portugal when a derelict steamer was sighted. The. male. with 'l'riggs and four others rowed tn the derelict. but were unable tn identit't it. berause salt water had washed away the name. Lolldnn as her port of register was still legible. In the purser‘s eabin in the steamer they found a safe. The. Captain of the Marie Celeste and the carpenter new at onre sent. for. The safe was burst open. and about £3,500 in gold and silver found inside. After opening the waterroeks se the dere- liet would sink, the boarding party returnml to the Marie Celeste with the booty. There they divided it. the Captain taking £1,200. mate $64!). second mate £400. 'l‘riggs £300 and the crew the rest, among them. The captain‘s wife and daughter had no share. '1 fl. A.

They painted on the beats the name of a schooner from . London, arrived at Cadiz, reported the loss of that schooner, and then split up. Triggs declared he had never seen the other members of the crew since. Captain Lucy main- tains that Triggs showed him his papers proving that he was boat- swain of the Marie Celeste, although he always covered up his name when he did so. From private en- quiries, Captain Lucy is inclined to believe Triggs’s story, since he had money in the bank at Melbourne and had lived there five years with- ' outlanyone ever having discovered ‘ his past history. Captain Lucy ' believes Triggs knew the name of ’ the derelict which he helped to ' sink, but never trusted Lucy suf- 3 ficiently to tell. TEE PAITBPUL QUAIL FATHER (Youtli’s Companion) A reader who has always been much interested in the outâ€"ofâ€"doors sends us this interesting. though tragic. story of a pair of quails: Having frequently heard that the male quail will take turns with the female on the nest at. brooding time, I decided to verify the fact for myself. I found a nest. with six .eggs in it and made daily trips to ithe place until all the eggs were laid and fol: some time thereafter. [ found that the mother bird would rover the eggs at night and remain on them until about nine o‘clock the. following morning and that then tlw male bird would rvlieve her and stay on tlw nest Virtually the vntim (lay.

(Toronto Saturday Night) ‘ From the Smooth Rock Falls and ‘1 District Board of Trade, New On- ‘ tario, which is probably the young- est Board of Trade now established in Canada come two taxation reâ€" solutions; one of which is of special interest. The first deals with a subject which has been discussed in many of the smaller towns of Ontario of late. It proposed that under the Ontario Amusement Tax Act all amateur entertainments, sports and games held by local clubs or organizations be exempted when the admission fees are to be used to buy equipment for the furtherance of the organization and in no way for personal gain. Nearly everyone will agree with this proposal.

This seems to be a fair pro- posal. The act at present allows certain deductions from taxable i11- eome in a11e111d11ne13 VV 1th the num- bet of the salaried mans depend- 13nt ehild1en.
