That was reason. I put my hands up to protect the back of my head. That was in- stinct. I tried the door handle to see if I could find better cover in- side. That was reason. The mo- ment I entered the place ther.e was a sort of earthquake upstairs, a clash of falling bricks and slates, a crushing, Pandemonium that set my heart in my mouth. A shell had struck the root. Possibly instinct might have prompted me to do something absurd, but at that mo- ment reason was forcibly appealed to by screams from the little back- kitchen. I went forward. In the kitchen were two children, a wo- man, and a baby. My personal fear seemed to lessen, almost to vanish, before their fear, and I thought that they must be got into the cel- lar. The task of getting them there either so occupied my mind as nearly to exclude fear or so stimu- lated it in some way as to give it a greater resistance to fear. Proba- bly something of both. I remember that from the cellar I listened to the collapse of neighboring houses with comparative composure, and that I went upstairs again. without any considerable apprehension, to find the baby's cradle and carry it into the cellar. From this I deduced that personal fear lessens before anxiety for the safety of others and home some task which occupies the mi . 'Wow often I have noticed this since then; not in my own case alone, but in the case of others. I fUsd that men notice rifle and shell fire much less when they are doing something. It is the sitting idle and having time to see and listen and think-to imagine, in short-that is most disconcerting. Many a time when the shell fire has been espe- cially hot and close I've made the men get out their trenching tools and do something or other to the trench just to give them something to do. When their minds are busy it's amazing how little place fear has. Our boys, I think, are better than any soldiers in this respect. Give them a job to do and it can rain fire and bricks and iron around them and they don't seem to notice it. Or if they do it's only to make a joke of some sort. The task in hand has first place in their mind above all.” The officer was quiet for a time before he went on: "But argue as you like; give reasons and explana- tions, theorize, yet there are some very funny things about danger. Do you know that to this day I'm happier when I'm facing shel fire or rifle fire than when my back is to it? When I face it there's uncer- tainty and anxiety and all that, but your flesh doesn't play you tricks." He laughed and explained. "It sounds funny, I know, but it is a fact, nevertheless, that the body, when seeded by a lively imagina- tion, can anticipate things in a. re- markable way. My Tim? is particu- larly fertile in anticipating injury. I was hurt there once as a kid, and I've ever since then had the liveliest consideration for my back.

As our fellows were butchering along the trench with their hayonetl and fists and boots, stopping for nothing, the Germans could not stick it, and flung down their rifles and bayonets. One fellow was so scared that he would be killed that he pulled a photograph of his wife and kiddies from his pocket and held it up before his face for our boys to see. That was blue funk if you like. He'd too much imagina- tion, you see. He was thinking of his wife and kiddies instead of bra- very-the deliberate controlling of one's funk." He was silent for a time.

But that's where the brave man has it; he suf- fers from mortal funk just as much perhaps as the coward, but he goes through with his job. He controls his funk and 'carries on.' That, ai- ter all, is bravery-the deliberate controlling of one's funk.." _ Tho main cause of ear disease and deafness is to be found in the back part of the throat and nose, with which the ear is connected by a pas- sage called the Eustachian tube. If the end of this opening is blocked up by adenoids or by swollen mu- cous membrane-the swelling usual- ly being caused by catarrh, or by the infection of influenzts, scarlet fever, mumps, measles, or typhoid- then this part of the ear becomes unhealthy, the secretions are re- tained, the ear becomes infected and infhsmed, and deafness is the result. Nature gives warning by ear-ache, which is often wrongly supposed to be caused by teething, worms, or neuralgia. Eiit disease can usually be cured, if promptly and properly treated, and in this way deafness is prevented. The presence of adenoids is usually shown by mouth-breathing, snoring at night, and other signs; but the advice of an aurist is all-important in cases of ear-ache or slight deaf- ness.

That terrible ache-how you fairly reel with it---that stabbing, burning neuralgia--what misery it causes. Never mind, you don't have to suffer --tltMy Nerviline, it’s a sure cure. Not an experiment, because nearly forty years of wonderful success has made a name for Nerviiino among the peo ple of many different nations. "There is nothing speedier to end Neuralgic headache than old-time 'Nerviline,'" writes Mr. G. C. Dalgleish, trom Ev. anston. "It is so powerful and pene- trating that it seems to eat up any pain in a minute. My family couldn't get along without Nervilinn. We al- ways keep the 60e family size bottle handy on the shelf, and use it to end chest colds, sore throat, coughs, ear- ache, toothache and pain in the back. My wife swears by Nerviline. For cramps its effect is astonishing and we believe it is better and speedier than any other household family rem- edy." Should Be Thoroughly Treated By an Aurist. About one per cent. of all the school children in London, England, have discharging ears. There are a good many in Ontario who suffer in the same way. Most of this suffer- ing is caused by scarlet fever and measles, which are preventable dis- eases. On the staff of every hospi- tal where scarlet fever and mea- sles are treated there should be an aurist who can thoroughly supervise the treatment of such cases until they ere cured. _ Children with discharging ears who are at school should be thor- oughly and carefully treated by an aurist, assisted by the school nurse. If this were done, a very large pro- portion of such cases could be cured and deafness prevented. " There are other diseases causing deafness notice of which should be required and thorough treatment given to preserve the ohild's hear- ing. A discharging ear is a. very serious thing; it exposes the child not only to the danger of deafness, but to the danger of death. - School life appears to have an trn- favorable influence on children’s sight.

Watt Restored to Her Anxioua Fam. lly When Hope had Gone. St. John, N.B., Dec. 16th.---At one time it was feared that Mrs. J. Grant, of 8 White St., would succumb to the deadly ravages ot advanced kidney trouble. "My tlrgt attacks of back- ache and kidney trouble began years ago. For six years mat dull gnawing pain has been present. When I ex- erted myself it was terribly itrtentMed. It I caught cold the pain was unen~ durable.

Lost proper- ties have been instilled into my blood .-tyheeks are rosy with color. and I thank that day that I heard of so grand a medicine as Dr. Htunilton'ts Pills." This is not the first occasion, how- ever, that an attempt has been made to interfere with the Scottish national dress. From 1746 to 1782 the wearing of the tartan was pro- hibited by law, and a series of op- pressive measures were introduced providing heavy penalties for all who either carried arms or wore the Kilt. But in 1782 the harsh meas- ures were repealed, and the wear- ing of the tartan became general all over Scotland. _ That the interference with the tartan kilt will be strongly resentefi by Highland regiments is very evl- dent from the remarks made by a number of influential Scotsmen. It is pointed out to those who argue that the brilliant tartan makes our Highland soldiers a conspicuous target for the enemy, that the khaki apron or covering which they wear when going to the front is sufficient protection. , A professor, who was extremely nearsighted, went to the barber's, sat down in the barber's chair, took off his glasses, and desired to be shaved.

The head barber, suspecting that his learned patron had fallen asleep, asked the boy to wake him. The professor heard the order. "No, my good man,” he said, "I am not asleep.

"This rwill make our soldiers look ridiculous," says one autMrit{. "The army hilt, as we have hither' o known it, has offended all true lov- ers of the Scottish national dress, for it consisted of but five yards of cloth, badly pleated, whereas it, is impossible to make a proper .1ri.l.t with less than seven or eight yards.” - The Highlanders are very proud of their distinctive dress and its historical associations. They no as proud of the hilt as they are of their feather bonnet, which, by the way. the Wtrr0trior endeavored to abolish thirty years ago. But the proposal aroused such a. storm of indignation that the military autho- rities ultitrustely decided to leave tht Highland bonnet alone. . The origin of the white gaiters worn lov the Highland regiment also provides an interesting story, for they were worn in memory of some of the trials which they underwent in the Peninsular war. It was dur- ing the rig-m of the forces under Sir John oore at Corunna that the soldiers suffered great hard- ships, their boots becoming worn owing to the rocky nature of the ground on the Portuguese coast. The Highlanders, therefore, took the shirts from their backs, tore them into stripe, and bound them round their feet for protection, and this did not fail to attract consider- aMe notice at home, as the white spate or goiter-s were instituted in memory of these trying times.

To my mind the most striking feature of the situation is still the general ab- sence of vindictiveness or even eon- tempt for tho German people. Eng- lishmen are joining the colors by the hundred thousand. but not in the "jingo" spirit. You will per- hapa remember the type of man one meet: so frequently in Lancashire and Yorkahire--the old Puritan type--the man who goes to his work with the sense of duty dominant, doing his work thoroughly, not ne- oessaril because he likes it, but be- cause the job is to be done. But few or none like the job, but the joy is there to be done. - It appears to be beyond the men- tal powers of a German to under- stand this. To him, apparently, war is a part of his religion or it is nothing. He cannot understand that a nation should go to war be. cause it is part of its religion to destroy the worshippers of Mars, the war god. It is fortunate ttrr Germany that England is not war mad, for if ever the fUhting blood of the country were really roused, if Englishmen were ever really strick- en with the lust for German blood, then God help the Germans. Per. aonelly, I am praying that the Ger- mus will have perm enough not to repeat such est-spades as tho at- tekys.nfuebotutrh. _ _ Behind all this grim struggle Englishmen have not lost the feel- ing that German Beth and blood are still human, and, therefore, they do not wish to inflict more suffering on German women and children than is necessary. For years the Ger- mans have been mistaking English patience for weakness and deca- dence. Now they must be compel- led to listen, and we believe that they will see their proper place is by our side and not in opposition to us. If you hear that England is de- termined to crush Germany beyond redemption treat the report with contempt. We cannot crush seven- ty millions of people except at an enormous cost, and it would not pay nor would it pay us to divide Ger- many into weak and small States. The enemy is not Germany, but autocracy. W, Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured Mr. Rudy because his troubles all came from sick kidneys. Dodd’s Kidney Pius are a. kidney remedy, pure and simple.
