Peace will give us many more, but ot a dit, ferent hind-the heroes who make the best of it Maimed, or blinded, or weakened, they have come out of the hospitals to face the future bravely and heroically, although very often every apparent possibility of livelihood or success has been snatched away by the war. i Few people would blame a sculptor without hands tor giving up his work; 'but Hennequin-Reveur believed that l it God had given him a great and very {original gift as a sculptor, He meant .bim to use it, and he set himself at 3 once to make the best of it. His toes, ‘he believed, could be trained to mix ibis clay. and he began to practice with them. His mouth and nose. he decided. must manipulate his tools,‘ and with a determination truly heroic) he began to train them also. Later, he learned of an electric contrivance that-when it would work, which was lot always-helped him to use his tirttwrtr. He then set up his studio and began his old work of modeling. When the artists of Alsace-Lorraine [began an exhibition ot their work in i London last April, 3 number of strik- ilug and very original figures by Henne: iiitii,i?,ijdetj'; modeled by toes. nose and mouth, were prominent among the Iexhibits. The critics pronounced them [only slightly less well done than his i former work, and they added that they .I saw no reason why he cannot entirely r regain his skill by such indomitable ', pinch and bravery. One of these new heroes is Henna- quln-Reveur, a sculptor of Metz. When the war began he was called to the German colors with all the youth of Alsace-Lorraine, but because the Germans feared that his allegiance could not be trusted it he were order. ed to take up arms against France, he was sent to the can against Rus- sia. As quickly as possible he surren- dered and marched " to Siberia with the German prisoners. Managing to escape, he made " way on foot to the English at Archangel. who helped him to England, and from there he crossed to France and volunteered. For three years and a half he fought In the French army against the Ger- mans; then he received three wounds, and when he came out of the hdtipital he had lost the use ot bgth his hands.

Everybody has heard the message telegraphed by an unfortunate Hindu official to account for a delay at the railway station ot which he was in charge. "Tiger dancing in platform," he wired, apologetically. and blame was averted. It was not a tiger which an English captain, in the old days at Cape Colony, ottered as an excuse to the angry Dublin authorities, but it was an animal quite as useful under the circumstances. His ship, the Marlborough, had failed, on entering Table Bay, to fire the salute which "their hitrhmtitrttti. ness the directors" of the Dutch East India Company always jealously do- mapded. As a consequence. she had no sooner come to anchor than she was boarded by an indignant wharfmaster, who tor. bade any man to set foot ashore until the mistake had 'been rectified. He was induced, however, to allow an of- ficer to be sent to the castle with an explanation. J"rhe salute was not fired," the mes- sage ran, “because we had on board an eleph.ant trom Madras. This ele- phant has a great dislike of noise, and is of a most violent disposition. There- fore we did not resort to powder a'nd gun to express our respect for the moat honorable directors, tearing lest the elephant might be alarmed or angered and break loose and do much damage. -, "But it is to no oversight or lack of courtesy, but to this beast only, that the silence of our ship ls due; where. fore we have confidence that the direc- tors will accept our excuses, in con- sideration ot our elephant.' The excuse was duly accepted, al- though there were suspicious Dutch- men who thought the elephant himseit an excuse and doubted his actual existence.

At certain points along the United States seacoasts “vocal sands" are found in patches, exhibiting a phe- nomenon that has never been satis- factorily explained. The beach at Manchester. New Hampshire, is tam- ous for them. These sands. when dry, yield a po- culiar sound it struck by the toot, or even when stroked by the hand. At the same time a tingling sensation is felt by the fingers or by bare feet. The sound resembles the distant barking of a dog, and it may some- times be heard at a distance ot 100 feet. Most curious, surely. The most remarkable “singing sands" are found on the island of Kauai, in the Hawaiian group. By clapping them between the hands a faint booting noise is produced. But the hootlike sounds are greatly inten- tsitled by putting a quantity in a bag and slamming it about. The baby of to-day is the man or woman of to-morrow.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. A school teacher received the fol-3 lowing note: "Dear Madam, Please excuse my tommy today, he won't come to skule because he is acting as timekeeper for his father. and it is your fault. U gave him a example, if a field is 5 miles around how long will it take a man walking 3% miles per hour to walk 2% times around it? Tommy ain't a man, so we sent his father.
