The German officers complain, we are told, at the inaction they are gompelled to endure. They are waitâ€" ing for an attack by their enemies in order to prove their mettle. But the British fleet is*tamely content with control of the sea. It has locked the German warships up in port. Only the submarines are footloose, and they have not accomplished what was expected of them. In such cireumâ€" stances there can be no fight unless one side or the other runs what might be a fatal Msk. The British have the advantage in numbers, and the Gerâ€" mans in a strong defensive position. The "dare" of the latter reminds one of nothing so much as a small boy, perched high on the back yard fence, making faces at a big boy outside. It might be magnificent for the British NOTES ANDCOMMENT S Poisoned Seeds. Observations on plant variation from poisoning of seeds have been reported in France by Professor A. Jungelson. After being placed for one to twentyâ€"four hours in a dilute solution of sulphate of copper seeds of maize were planted, and a conâ€" siderable proportion yislded abnormal spikes, the percentage of the abnorâ€" mal plants being greatest among those from seeds that had been deâ€" prived of their seed coat or otherwise mutilated before exposure to the copâ€" per solution. The mutilation alone produced no change in the character of the plants. The more intimate the eontact of the poison the greater was the tendency of the plant to take on new forms. J Meanwhile, working on sound prinâ€" ciples of strategy, the British naval commanders have succeeded in drivâ€" ing the German flag from the high seas, in protecting the transport of millions of troops, in guarding Great Britain from invasion. In other words, it has done all that cireumstances reâ€" quired it to do. Probably it will not be found remiss if the general enâ€" gagement which the Germans so arâ€" dently desire ever takes place. It has at least not been content with a policy of inactivity. Having cut Germany off from communication from the rest of the world by the North Sea, it has begun to complete the circle by adâ€" venturing into the Baltic. The activâ€" ity of British submarines in those waters is already severely felt. to Go scatter your wares before her eyes, And maybe she‘ll stir to see you there, And, holding you close to her heart, will dance In gold and crimson upon the air. â€"Canadian Magazine.

I attended, one day, at noon, a reâ€" cruiting meeting in front of the Manâ€" sion House. A great crowd of men and women listened to the recruiting sergeants, all of whom had "done their bit" at the front. A lady, with a magnificent voice, sang patriotic songs, which perhaps were more effective than the speeches of the recruiting sergeants. At the close of the meeting, it was announed that after singing "The King," the lady would sing "The Woman‘s Naâ€" tional Anthem." As she sang, every man stood, unâ€" covered, and with bowed head, and there were not many dry eyes.

A CANADIAN Carbuncle comes from a Latin word that means a little live coal, and anyone who has ever suffered from a carbuncle thinks the thing well namâ€" ed. The carbuncle itself is really an inflamed mass formed by a collection of boils. It begins in the tissue under the skin, and not only works its way toward the surface, as an ordinary boil does, but also burrows downward, and destroys the connective tissue. That tendency to burrow, as well as its size, makes a carbuncle a much more serious affection than a boil or ltn ordinary abscess. _ Carbuncles generally come on the nape of the neck, or farther down on the back, but they appear in other In an emergency, when it is imâ€" perative that a wound should be seen to and surgeon, nurse, and appliances are absent, a sterile dressing may be applied to the wound before bandagâ€" ing by taking the hot ashes from a wood fire, allowing them to cool, and dusting them directly on the wound. A quicker method, and quite effectâ€" ive, is to apply burnt paper to the wound in several layers. This is an excellent emergency dressing, and has the advantage of being quickly obtained anywhere. With the above borne in mind, no one need be quite helpless if occasion arises to treat a wound in peace or war. It should be remembered that surgical cottonâ€"wool and commercial are not the same. The latter has not been freed from impurities, and, moreover, is nonâ€"absorbent. It can be used for padding a splint, but only surgical cottonâ€"wool, free from oil, etc., should be used for wounds. Beâ€" tween a dressing and a bandage it is important that a nonâ€"absorbent maâ€" terial should be placed, such as oiled silk. Almanacks are in existence that were compiled in the fourteenth cenâ€" tury, but they are only in manuâ€" script; the first printed almanack was issued about the year 1475. Moist heat often relieves the sympâ€" toms greatly. After the carbuncle has healed or been removed surgicalâ€" ly, the patient‘s strength must be built up in every way with abundant food and suitable tonic treatment.â€" Youth‘s Companion. It first appears as a small pimple or pustule, which soon becomes very much irritated and inflamed. The inâ€" flammation spreads over the surface and burrows back into the deeper tisâ€" sues, until the mass is roughly in the shape of a cone. Then begins a surâ€" face discharge that is sometimes clear and gelatinous, and that someâ€" times contains pus; but the discharge does not afford any relief. The pain grows very severe; it is like a fire under the skin, and there is violent throbbing as the carbuncle burrows its way through the tissues. Someâ€" times the centre of the carbuncle beâ€" comes gangrenous and the pus esâ€" capes in that way; but in many cases a surgical operation is the best and quickest way to relieve the patient‘s suffering. It is also necessary to atâ€" tend to the general health, which is often impaired. In applying a bandage to retain dressings or splints never cover the tips of fingers or toes. From the nails and toe and finger ends the state of the cireulation can be judged. A bluish color shows that the veins are compressed, and numbness or swelling of the toes show that the bandage wants slackening, or the splints or dressings readjusted. Unless the heel or elbow is hurt, leave them uncoverâ€" ed for the same reasons. Overâ€"tight bandages cause strangulation of the tissues. All the police in.the outskirts of London and in all coast towns are now supplied with a new type reâ€" spirator which though simple in conâ€" struction will permit them to safely enter a region filled with poisonous gas. The new respirator consists of a heavy bandage, saturated with a chemical compound which neutralizes the poisonous fumes. Although Lonâ€" don is inclined to laugh at reports of a wholesale gas bombardment, it is said that many of the more timid householders have secretly purchased these respirators and * always keep them near at hand. places, too. It is easy to understand that any inflammatory process so widespread and so deeply seated as a earbuncle usually is, must cause marked symptoms of illness. As a matter of fact, it is generally accomâ€" panied by fever, headache, loss of apâ€" petite, and other indications of imâ€" paired health. Carbuncles are causâ€" ed by germs that enter the system through some small scratch or abraâ€" sion of the skin, and those who suffer from them are generally already in a condition of debility. Those who sufâ€" fer from certain constitutional disâ€" orders, of which diabetes is perhaps the chief, are liable to have carâ€" buncles, and most patients are more than forty years of age. Indeed, the affection is almost unknown in childâ€" hood and early youth. London _ Police â€" Prepare» for Gas Bombs. In recent raids by German airships on London most of the bombs were incendiary, carrying but a small exâ€" plosive charge. From this fact it is now assumed that the Germans beâ€" lieve greater harm can be done to London by a fireat fire than by dropâ€" ping bombs which mere explode. "The "fire balls," as they are callâ€" ed, burst upon hitting their mark and scatter a hot fire in a wide radius. It is feared that in future attacks these bombs may be followed by the soâ€" ealled "gasâ€"bombs," which in breakâ€" ing would prevent firemen and police from approaching any building set afire by the "fire balls." GERMAN FIRE BALLS. For Emergencies. HEALTH \ _ Whole milk, as every one knows, is \an indispensable food for the young, |and even in the diet of the adult it \is comparatively economical. The | only nutrient taken from it in skimâ€" , ming is the butter fat. There is left, | therefore, in the skim milk, not only ;all of the sugar, which amounts to | about four and oneâ€"half parts in every | 100, and all of the mineral substances | but also all of the protein. . The last named substance is imâ€" portant because, besides serving as a fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do, it also supplies nitroâ€" genous tissue building material. The proportion of protein in skim milk, as well as of the mineral constituents, which are also valuable for body building, is even greater than in whole milk. Since the nutritive part of skim milk consists very largely of protein, it is to be classed, as whole milk is, with such food materials as eggs, meat, fish, poultry _ and cheese (though it is much more delicate than those foods) rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as fuel. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about the same amount o%¢ enâ€" ergy as a pound of beef. When skim milk sells for 4 cents a quart, or about 2 cents a pound, and round of beef for 20 cents a pound, a dime, or any : other sum of money spent for skim milk will provide nearly twice as much nourishment as it will if spent for round steak. Round of beef, of course, is one of the lower priced, meats and when compared with the more expensive cuts skim milk makes | a still better showing from the standâ€" ; point of economy. | The comparison with oysters is»‘| very significant; a quart of oysters contains less than twice as much | nourishment as a quart of skim milk] and yet it often costs several times as much. Both are useful, wholesome: foods, and in the oyster one has a | special flavor. A combination of the , two in oyster stew or creamed oysters | is an economical way of using the ; oysters, since it makes a given quanâ€"| tity "go further." | The Lancet says that there has neâ€" ver been a time in England that emâ€" ployment has been so easy to obtain and so much money distiributed among the poor through good wages and woâ€" men‘s separation allowance, yet these very facts may have contributed to the increased infant mortality rate, since they have given idie mothers more money to spend on drink. Epiâ€" demic disease is another factor in raising the rate, owing to the dearth of doctors and nurses now engaged in military hospitals. a As for the deliberate limitation of births, not only the middle and upper classes, but the working class in late years are held to blame. Even the reâ€" ports about the great numbers of war babies seem now to have been largely bascless. _ . Heâ€"Yes, but I sociate with tko==. Two and a Half Quarts as Nutritive : as a Pound of Beefsteak. The value of skim milk as a pracâ€" tical and economical food is being urged by the United States Departâ€" ment of Agriculture. Recent tests have demonstrated that skim milk, frequently thrown away as a waste product, contains nearly all the food values of whole milk, despite that it is nineâ€"tenths water. Two and a half quarts of skim milk, costing 10 cents, has about the same nutritive value as a pound of beefsteak costing 20 cents or more. Decrease in British Birth Rate Deâ€" plored. The recent returns on the British infant birth and death rate are charâ€" acterized as "distinctly alarming" by the London Lancet. "The continued fall in the birth rate, which has now reached the lowâ€" est level heretofore recorded, may have many explanations," the journal comments editorialiy, "but the factor of the deliberate limitation of famiâ€" lies, whether from provident or selâ€" fish motives, can no longer be igâ€" nored."

A Parisian journal tells of a young Parisian â€" who had long worn a monocle in his left eye, and who had continued the habit as an afficer. He had been wounded, was cured, and had asked to be returned to the front. When he went to be examined, he conâ€" cealed the monocle, thinking he might be charged with myopia in one eye. When the chief surgeon examined him he said sharply, "Whistle!" The new system of memory trainâ€" ing was being taught in a village school, and the teacher was becoming enthusiastic. "His name‘s Brown, sir, and he is a native of Derbyshire," remarked the calm captain, prepared for any amount of fabrication, but in reality not knowing one single point upon which he was likely to be questioned. "And this manâ€"what is his name, and where was he born?" was the next inquiry. "Oh, his name‘s Smith, and he‘s a native of Devon," answered _ the plunging captain, as coolly as though he were telling the truth. "Faix, yis, yer honor; and troth it‘s a grand place intoirely, so it is!" was the reply. The colonel fell back, very much astonished, and Captain Dash had to see him later on in private.

When the soldier arrived at his regiment, he gave to the regimental surgeon the note that had been given him by the examiner. This surgeon said in his turn, "Will you please whistle?" _ He whistled. _ "That‘s curious," said the surgeon. It seems that when a man wears a monocle it gives to his face the apâ€" pearance of facial paralysis. The whistling is a test. The facial paraâ€" lytic cannot whistle. "Well, for instance," said the teacher, "supposing you want to reâ€" gember the name of a poet, Bobby urns. Fix in your mind‘s eye a picture of a policeman in flames. Seeâ€"Bobby Burns." The Irishman‘s Answer Assonished the Colonel. There used to be a certain stern old colonel stationed at Aldershot who was a great stickler for all the ofâ€" ficers being acquainted with the names and genealogies of the various men of their troops. A wellâ€"known jovial captain, who was never yet at a loss for a reply to any question asked him, was once put sublimely through his facings. "The soldier whistled like a blackâ€" bird. "Ah," said the surgeon, "that‘s curious." "But," expostulated the soldier, "I don‘t see why there is so much of this. I‘m not to serve as a locomoâ€" tive." "It is all right," said the chief surâ€" geon, *"You may return to the front." "Yes, I see," said the bright pupil. "But how is one to know that it does not represent Robert Browning?"

The loading part of the machine is in no way complicated. When the loaded scoop reaches the machine the cable draws it into a steel holder on the end of a pair of lifting arms, which elevate the scoop, dirt and all, and empty it into the waiting wagon.
