The Belgians in Belgium lost no time in learning the news of Italy’s declaration of war. At dawn on the day Italy decided to enter the field airmen journeyed forth, and from a great height dropped thousands of cards on Brussels and many Belgian towns bearing the glad tidings in French on one side and in Flemish on the other. A new “1830” corset, made of silk tricot, with gussets of elastic which allow a slight spring over the hips, is being shown. ,The top of the corset comes rather~high over the bust, and very straight, trim lines are given the upper part of the figure. .Below the waist this “old fashioned” corset is only six inches long and makes no pretense of holding in the hips. A radical departure, this, from the' low busted, long hipped corset to which women have become accustomed, but the new stay is supposed to give the proper silhouette under the close bodiced, full petticbated dance frock of the moment. Whether it is com- fortable or not is another matter which women inured to the loose waisted, low busted corset must de- cide for themselves. The double tracking is shown; the course of each system from its com- mencement to its ending set forth; nothing had escaped the faithful and able chartographers or mapograph- ers, if one may use the words, so that at a glance the high omcers of the company may see the course of the system, the river, the lake, the moun- tain, the stream, in any part of the Dominion. The biggest and the best railway map in Canada is that which hangs in the directors” room of the C. P. R. general ofliceâ€"â€"a map 100 feet long by 10 feet high and which took the combined efforts of three of the cleverest men in the drawing depart- ment of the company eighteen months to complete. This map is minute and comprehensive to the last detail. Every inch of railway, every tiniest islet, rearing its head in the lake or river, every city and town and village, it might be said, in the whole of the Dominion, is limned in charac- ters which, however minute, are en- tirely legible. Many a. girl who always hated walking just for the sake of exercise will take splendidly to golf or tennis. The benefits to be derived from athletics within reason are unques- tionable. The exercise strengthens the body, and the amount of fresh air and sunshine taken in is like a tonic to the entire .system. The girl who is making her start in sports must be careful not to overdo it during the first couple of days. Her unaccustomed muscles will cause her many an ache and pain, and her hands and feet, too, may blister, but will pass off, and the toughening and strengthening of her whole body will ensue. The first day only half an hour or three-quarters should be spent on the tennis courts or golf. course. This will be quite enough to lame her all over, and she'vs'ill prob- ably not feel like moving the next day. But if she can keep right on doing a little exercise every day the lameness will go not to return again that season. Tennis, golf, swimming, all take time and patience to learn, but pro- gress com-es quickly once the begin- ner is well started. 'Of course, it takes a few years to become proficient in anything, even in sports, and nu girl can expect to be a champion at the very start. So long as she sticks to it she will make rapid strides, and soon she will play well enough to enter the games with fine players. It is important that the beginner should be opposed by play- ers of much greater skill than herself from the very start, for that is the only way she will ever learn. For two equally poor players to oppose each other is bad for both. The beginner must not be discouraged by the odds against her, nor must she play only to beat, but to learn. the field of athletics will add greatly to her personal popularity. The girl who plays a winning game in tennis or golf and is an expert swimmer as well is never lacking in invitations to house parties, for every hostess loves to have a guest so athletically ver- satile. _._ â€"â€" and, considering the com] short time of their habitat have done remarkably well. ‘I ‘ The day of the \fragile, clinging vine is long past. The semi-invalid type that used to be adored a century ago has become practically extinct. Nowadays women have grown to realize the value of independence. They have come to know that, while it may be sweet to have some one to cling to, it is much sweeter to stand upright and to need no support. They have entered the man’s world of busi- ness, and the man’s world of sport, New Stays Are “Old Fashioned.” mired Among Men, Every girl should know something about one sport at least. This does not mean necessarily that she must become an amazon or go to any ex- tremes in the line of masculinity. But she can excel in a sport or two and be all the more feminine for it, for it will give her a radiant health that only accentuates her charm. Semi-Invalidism Is No They Told the Belgians.

A Chinese Superstition.“ It is a superstition of the Chinese that a sneeze on New Year’s eve indi- cates misfortune for the coming year, and to overcome this he is obliged to go to three families of different sur- names and beg from each of them a little cake shaped like a tortoise, which must be eaten before midnight. Beards In Russia. It is curious to note that in Russia the beard has always been an object of repute. An ordinance which Yaro- slat, son of Vladimir and legislator of Novgorod, then the capital of Russia. published in 1015 exemplifies this. By this law any one plucking a hair from a neighbor's heard was subjected to a punishment four times more severe than that inflicted for cutting ofl’ his finger. Napoleon was astonished and indig- nant at this plain speaking, but he nev- er wrote the paper. “You have not time to write a good paper, and you cannot afford to write a poor one. The eyes of the world are upon you. Whatever you write will be severely criticised.” Napoleon announced his intention of reading a paper to the French insti- tute. Monge frankly expressed his dis- approval of the plan. Gave Napoleon Advice. Napoleon Bonaparte had no more de- voted and disinterested friend than Gaspard Monge, the illustrious acade- mician and founder of L'Ecole Poly- technique. On one occasion he dem- onstrated his regard by giving the great general some unwelcome advice. “Families should get this solution. keep it in their houses and dip the whole family washing in it,” said the doctor. “It would cost about 15 cents a week for an entire family.”â€"New York World.

The doctor took an eight inch strip of ordi- nary cotton gauze. equivalent to the material in the Indian and cowboy suits so popular among children. and ignit- ed it. It was wholly consumed within four seconds. Then he took a similar strip, dipped it in the ammonium phos- phate solution, dried it with an electric fan and held it in a flame for thirty seconds, but it did not burn. bards are very useful in determining the ground betwixt the ranks. and for dressing the ranks and files of a bat- talion. and likewise for chastising the soldiers-Gentleman’s Directory, 1705. ed a little, which is very commodious for drawing fascines, gabions or what- ever obstacle happen in the way.

Hundreds of thousands of these children live in the Chinese sampans. which ply the rivers and throng the water- fronts of the great cities.

In case of babies a r0pe is attached under their arms and if they slip over the side of the sampan into the water they are fished out the best way pos- sible.
