Osler has issued an elaborate warning to troops, which is as applicable to Canadians as to British. He states : "It was formerly said that an army marched on its belly ; now it With women already in numerical preponderance, what will this sigâ€" nify to them!?! It is seen at a glance that the surplusage oi females will be such as to cause them to be drafted more largely than ever into industry and into forms of enterâ€" prise from which they have as yet been exempt. These women, deâ€" prived of the opportunity of marâ€" riage and bringing up families and foreed ito enter forms of toil that will cause the stamina of the sex greatly to deteriorate, will constiâ€" ‘ tute one of the tremendous calamâ€" ities of the war. war these young men will be conâ€" siderably older and many of them would never marry.

Thousands will lay down their lives or else be broken wrecks for the remainder of their days. NIR WM. OosLER‘s warxixc The present European war will engage at least ten millions of men. A great number of these will be young men, who otherwise would marry and rear families.

Their prime object is to be able to take up a position and be able to deliver an overwhelming volume of fire where needed. The most notable of these machine guns are the Hotchkiss (French) and Vickers (English), the former fhring from elips containing 30 cartridges, and the latter firing from ‘belts containing 250 cartâ€" ridges. The rate of fire of these guns is about 400 to 500 shots per minute. \ _ With each regiment of infantry there belongs a platoon or comâ€" pany equipped with two or four maâ€" chine guns. These machine guns generally fire the same ammunition as is used for the rifte of the army, but. fire it semiâ€"automatically from clips or belts containing 30 to 250 rounds each. * Machine Gun‘s Terrible Destrucâ€" tion of Life. Many reports of the war in Euâ€" rope speak of the terribly destructâ€" ive fire of the machine guns, and in view of these events the following facts from the special war edition of the Scientific American are of unusual interest : _| The necessity for sleep and the ‘| quantity acquired is greater in | some persons than in others. Some | persons feel perfectly refreshed with four or five hours rest during the night, while others require eight or more hours. lt may be that this is greatly a question of habit, but, in allowing the time neâ€" cessary for resting, the person conâ€" cerned should find out the amount of sleep required to keep him in perfect health. Persons of lymâ€" pathic temperament are usually great sleepers. Thin, wiry people, on the other hand, in whom the nervous temperament _ predominâ€" ates, usually require comparativeâ€" ly little sleep, and, in deciding, the question of temperament must be considered. The best attitude for sleeping is to lie on the right side, as to lie on the back frequently causes dreams, while to rest on the left side may affect the heart. There is, however, no hard and fast rule as regards position when sleepâ€" ing. The main thing is to relax the muscles, and lie in the most comâ€" fortable attitude possible. People who are light sleepers should never go to bed with the brain excited, or when the body is overâ€"tired. In both cases the sleep wili be broken. To sip a glass of hot milk when overâ€"excited or overâ€"tired, and a rest sitting for fifteen minutes in a comfortable chair, will often reâ€" fresh the body sufficiently to allow the patient to go to sleep almost at once. The room should be well venâ€" tilated, and the head be moderateâ€" ly raised.â€"A Physician. l Those who would like to breathe good air all the time, are forced by circumstances to do without it in the daytime, but they can at least have all they want at night. It is during the hours of sleep that naâ€" ture repairs the waste of the day‘s work, but she cannot do good work under bad conditions, and she never does good work in bad air. Keep your bedroom windows wide open all the time, and you will have done your share.â€"Youth‘s Companion. \ _ Toâ€"dav, in spite of much excelâ€" lent legislation on the subject, it is at the risk of health, and perhaps of life, thait we take a train, or ride in a street car, or go into a public hall, especially in the winter months. The average railway car, with its vestibuled platform, its tight doors and windows, and its fhierce steam heat, is an excellent incubator of disease. The street car is a little better, because, even with the worst intention on the part of its occupants, the air blows through it at intervals. i _ There are two fatal diseasesâ€" tuberculosis and pneumoniaâ€"that are really ‘"house diseases.‘" They destroy thousands of lives every year, and cost the community milâ€" lions of dollars, chiefly because there are not enough "freshâ€"air fiends‘‘ to insist on the clean air in which such diseases cannot flourish. By and by, when the nagging has accomplished its purpose, these two scourges will be got under control. But that time will not come until we have good air all the time, in shops and schools and places of amusement, and in nublic conveyâ€" ances, and, above all, in every bedâ€" room every night of the year. Frest Air Again. We occasionally hear some one protest against the ‘‘nagging‘‘ of a ‘"freshâ€"air fiend.‘"‘ If there is any swbject on which nagging is excusâ€" awble, it is the importance of plenty of fresh air. Thousands of people will give the most cordial assent to all that is said in favor of pure air in the house, and yet pull the winâ€" dows down whenever they find them open. The preachers of hygiene have made fresh air fashionable and popular, but they have not yet succeeded in overcoming the native tendency to fustiness in a vast numâ€" ber of people. YOLUME OF FIRE. Father‘s Day, How to Sleep. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO n a day A green satin evening gown is simply made, and depends for its trimming solely on a little jacket of black net, covered with tiny jot sequins. The jacket is finished with four tassels, which are attached to the pointed sections unaier the arms that hang down over the hips. Beads From the Shoulders. Many of the new evening frocks show three or four long strands of Standing Chiffon Collar. There are many styles of collar on the new frocks and not the least interesting is a standing, straight chiffon collar that fits snugly about the neck. It is attached to a frock that has no yoke in front, however, but a deep Vâ€"Shaped opening. â€" So there is a collar above a yokeless blouse. A striking gown is made of silk poplin with a blue ground on which there are peacock feathersâ€"the ‘ends or eyes of the femthers, to be exactâ€"woven in natural colors. This gown has a long, wrinkled basque made of deep blue velvet. Black and Yellow. Yellow has been enjoying an unâ€" wonted popularity for a season or two. Last spring yellow and brown were a great deal used together. Yellow and black are now a favorâ€" ite combination, and one me‘t.hodg‘ of combining them is to mmmt' black lace or net over yellow satin or silk. Quite Spanish is this (-om-, bination, and as charming as it is ; Bpanish. | Long tulle sleeves are used on all sorts of afternoon frocks. Someâ€" times they appear on the {frock of velvet, and then they are decorated at the wrist with one or two rows of tiny glass or velvet buttons. Sometimes these sleeves are part of a silk or silk and chiffon frock, and then perhaps they flare over the hand and are bound with a narâ€" row band of silk. Sometimes, too, they are used in iblouses to wear with the coat suit. The tunic is not more than two inches shorter than the foundation skirt, which is bordered with a twoâ€" inch band of fringe made of pearl glass beads. Thus nothing shows below the bottom of the tunic but the bead fringe. An evening frock of white satin shows a long tulle tunic banded at the bottom with white satin ribbon. Stripes on silk and net, chiffon and other fabric are stimulated with stripes of velvet ribbon of various widths. One chiffon tunic is striped with black velvet an inch and a half wide and at the lower edge of the tunic at the end of each stripe is a pink rose. Durable Brussels Net. Some new neck ruffs are made of Brussels net, instead of tulle. These cuffs are made just like those of tulle. The net is left with a raw cut edge, and it is gathered or .box-‘ plaited and held through the cenâ€" tre with a band of velvet or taffelta‘ or satin, that sometimes ends in a bow, sometimes under an artificial rose. The Brussels net is decidedly more durable than tulle, which alâ€" ways loses its freshness and colâ€" lapses almost to nothing in moist and rainy weather. Long Tulle Sleeves. Peacock Poplin.

He |has always admitted that the Britâ€" i ish navy was the finest in the world not only in numbers, which is, of ’murse. obvious, but in efficiency, l and he gave orders that it was to be sedulously copied in all respects. Also to be quite sure that nothing was wa~ling in the compliment he organized a farâ€"reaching system of 'espi«,mag:- in British home ports, which happily was frustrated byi the vigilance of the police. _ For years in the German navy â€" they called him ‘"Der Meister‘‘ (the master), in tribute to his competâ€" eney as a naval organizer; now they call him ‘"‘Tirpitz the Eterâ€" nal,‘‘ because when at the Kaiser‘s whim other greatest statesmen have come and gone he alone has survivâ€" ed. What will they call him after the Fatherlandd‘s precious fleet, which he so largely helped to create, has been placed beyond mischief? Admiral Tirpitz Will Share Blame for Germany‘s Suicide. Though Grand Admiral von Tirâ€" pitz, the long greyâ€"bearded Teuton with the shining bald head, who is head of the German Admiralty, has for years planned the invasion of Great Britain, he did not mind takâ€" ing advantage of English educaâ€" ’tional facilities, and all his childâ€" ren have been educated in the Motherland. He has been behind the refusal of every invitation from Great Britain to come to an agreeâ€". ment on armaments, and into the mind of the very susceptible Kaiser he has implanted the idea that Gerâ€" many would be as invincible on sea as a month ago she thought herself on land. After the Emperor he is the strongest man in the Fatherâ€" land, and he will share with his imâ€" perial master the infamy of having‘ accomplished Germany‘s suicide. l To ta‘k to, Tirpitzwould seem beads hanging from the shoulders around the arms. Two Pointed Tulle Tunics. The pointed tunic is one of the season‘s best novelties. In a tulle model this tunic is especially well developed. It is a debuntante‘s evening frock, made of white tulle mounted on fleshâ€"colored satin, and there are two tunics, one superimâ€" posed on the other, of tulle. They are full and pointed, so arranged that the points of one do not fall over those of the other. Each is edged at the bottom with a narrow band of embroidery worked in irreâ€" d‘scent pearl beads. The same bead embroidery is used to outline the bodice and on the sleeves. With Shepherd‘s Checks. A smart frock is made with a loose bodice of velvet in shepherd‘s checks of black and brown. There is a skirt with a blue facing of the velvet, over which hangs a long, gathered tunic of chiffon banded at the bottom with three strips of the velvet. Youthful Slur on Grandpa.

There was "Oi need for Jesus to use an unusual connective. â€" Opportunity â€" to give to the poor was the ordinary chance of daily life.

Are you, after all, réally concerned about the poor! Or, is your conâ€" cern for the poor only an excuse for blaming the act of this woâ€" man t‘ Furthermore, Jesus clearly shows "that for him wno really wants to serve his fellow: there is always abundant opportunity.

Alabaster cruse of ointment â€" The cruse was valuable in itself ; filled with pure nard, it was very costly. 2, Not during the feast . . . tuâ€" mult of the peopleâ€"The _ chief priests _ and scribes were keen enough to know that no violent hands could be laid on Jesus, if the people were gathered in masses, without raising a disturbance. They could not take upon themselves the responsibility of violating the sancâ€" tity of the feast by causing an upâ€" roar. They would plan without conscience to seize and kill Jesus, but they stopped at the thought of disturbing a religious festival! How they scrupled to keep clean the outside of the cup! f 3.

Sought how they might take him with subtletyâ€"There was no quesâ€" tion in the minds of the leaders that Jesus would have to be taken with subtlety. But even to do this was a problem. In fact, from the beginning Jesus had been a proâ€" blem for them. How they could devise means that would remain hidden taxed their cunning natures to the extreme. Verse 1. The feast of the passâ€" over and the unleavened bread â€" This feast would bring the multiâ€" tude to Jerusalem. In all probaâ€" ’bility Jesus would also come. The chief priests and the scribes practiâ€" cally could count on this. The feast began with the passover proâ€" per and continued with seven days‘ eating of unleavened bread. A!â€" though Matthew mentions only the passover, Luke explains the feast of unleavened bread by saying, ‘"‘which is called the passover."

Many have found good reason for seeing in this stupendous cataclysm of armed conflict the futility of the peace propaganda, the impotence of the international labor moveâ€" ment, the value of culture, l ‘‘Woe to them that go down to Fgypt for help; . . . and trust in chariots, because they are many ; and in horsemen, because they are very strong ; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israe!, neither seek the Lord !‘â€"Isaiah xxxi., 1.

"It took eight years of work."‘ ‘‘That is a long time to devote to one picture." ‘‘Yes, indeedâ€"six days to paint it and the rest of the time to sell it it And he sought how he might conâ€" veniently deliver him â€" The chief priests and the scribes knew that they could not take Jesus openly at the feast because of the people. They dare not outrage the instinctâ€" ive sense of justice which they knew ‘‘the people‘‘ possessed. SBo also Judas had to move warily. He had to seek a chance to deliver Jesus conveniently, This meant deliberâ€" ation. Judas‘s act, therefore, was the result of cold and continued calculation. As a master of grand strategy might map out a decisive campaign, so Judas set to work to entrap Jesus. A little mind can reach great cunning when it has left the line of straight dealing. _ ’ Promised to give him money â€" They did not pay him on the spot. They did not trust this disciple. The heart that could conceive to deliver for money so true a master might decline to deliver him once the money was paid. In such event the chief priests would have had no recourse. For to take action against Judas would have been to disclose their own designs. So they only "promised"‘ to give Judas money. | 11. When they heard itâ€"They could not believe their ears at first. It took them a little while actually to hear what Judas was saying. Buch good fortune was to them unâ€" thinkable. When they finally comâ€" prehended the meaning of Judas‘s words, of course they were glad. Unto the chief priestsâ€"Judas knew where to go to accomplish his end. The priests were not so fortunate. They would never have dreamed that a traitor could be found among Jesus‘s tlisciples. They, the priests, did not know where to go. They would have thought last of all of going to the inner circle. ; 10.

Wheresoever the gospel shall be preachedâ€"To dissociate the act of this woman from the gospel message wouald be impossible. The heart of Jesus‘s message was love, and love filled the heart of this woâ€" man. No stronger emphasis could be placed upon the enduring naâ€" ture of his teaching than to link it inseparably with an unselfish act. The act of this woman was an ilâ€" lustration of the "cup of cold wa ter‘‘ of a former lesson. For the cup of cold water represented the completeness of love and service. Bo in the alabaster cruse of ointâ€" ment the parable of the cup of cold water finds its actualization. Beâ€" cause love is immortal Jesus‘s gosâ€". pel endures. Whatever else fails, love remains.
