But they treated me as if I _were a dangerous man, whereas all their conduct hitherto had shown that they thought me a fool. I could not understand it. "But 1 had not been one night in that Neuburg place before I thought of the reason. They wanted to keep me under observation as a check upon you, Cornelis. 1 figured it out this way. They had given you some very limportant work which required them ito let you into some big secret. So far, good. _ They evidently thought [much of you, even yon Stumm man, though he was as rude as a buffalo. But they did not know you fuilly, and they wanted a check on you. _ That check they found in Peter Pienaar. Peter was a fool, and if there was anything to blab, sooner or later Peter would blab it. Then they would stretch out a long arm and nip you short, wherever you were. Therefore they" must keep old Peter under their eye. "That sounds likely enough," I said. "It was God‘s truth," said Peter. "And when it was all clear to me I settled that I must escape. _ Partly because I am a free man and do not like to be in prison, but mostly beâ€" cause I was not sure of myself. Some day my temper would go again, and I might say foolish things for which Cornelis would suffer. So it was very certain that I must escape. | * "Now, Cornelis, 1 noticed pretty soon that there were two kinds among the prisoners. There were the real Minard‘o Liniment for Cougne & Coiga as dirt. Therefore my bad temper came out, for, as I have told you, I do not like Germans." Peter gazed lovingly at the little bleak farms which dotted the Hunâ€" garian plain.

With a spanner and a couple of clear hours 1 could make these maxims about as deadly as bicycles. What do you say to a try?" Peter was in the middle of the conâ€" voy and I found him pretty unhappy, principally through not being allowed to smoke. His companion was an oxâ€" eyed lad, whom I ordered to the lookâ€" ;;ut while Peter and I went over the ists. "Then we tested all our jars and tops to see if they were perfect.

Doris picked the berries yesterday, and after washing and hulling them, put them insa large pan with a cup of sugar to each quart of berries and let them stand over night. "Just as soon as we girls got there, we sterilized and tested the jars, rubâ€" bers and tops. They were all put into boiling water for ten minutes, and then taken out with the funniest scisâ€" sorâ€"shaped forks and left to drain. We didn‘t dry them as we alwzys do, for Miss Brown, our leader, said they wouldn‘t be sterilized then. Some germs that might cause spoilage would be on the dish towel and would cling to the cans. | DAUGHTER‘S ACHIEVEMENTS | SURPRISE MOTHER. "Oh, Mother, we just had the most fun, and I am so glad that I really am a Happy Hustler now," sang Mary as she returned at four o‘clock in the afternoon from attending her second _ mecting of the Happy Hustlers‘ Club. She had been invited to attend the meeting of the previous week by her little friend, Doris, that she might learn something of their summer proâ€" ject of canning. Her interest and enâ€" thusiasm had developed to such a deâ€" \gree that she had accepted an invitaâ€" tion to become an active club member. Removing the jars from her basket to the kitchen shelf, she placed them beside those her Mother was just finishing. Immediately they both noâ€" ticed the direct contrast between the jars of strawberries. Those that Mother had just finished canning by the openâ€"kettle method were of a dark red, tending toward a brownish color. Already most of the berries were floating at the top of the jar, while the rich syrup was all at the bottom. The ones Mary had just brought back from the canning club were of a much brighter red, retaining most of their original hue, with the berries evenly distributed through the syrup. It was with pain in her heart that Mother noted the failure of her long, hot afternoon‘s work. But this pain was somewhat tempered by the pride in her daughter‘s accomplishment. It was from this initiation meeting that Mary was returning as she rompâ€" ed into the kitchen where her mother was canning the first surplus strawâ€" berries of the season. All ecstasy with her own accomplishment, for she was carrying in her basket three pints of canned strawberries which she had canned herself, she began to tell Mother of the wonderful things she had learned that afterneon. then I reckoned I would be ’Slacici-y;l guarded, for they would look on me as safe in the net. . . .. | "Now, Cornelius, when the lieutenâ€" lay southâ€"east, and I had marked this ant took us to see the British prisonâ€" big river." ers, you remember, he told us many.

The chief uses to which it is put are for the denaturing of grain alâ€" cohol; for various purposes in lines of common manufacture (especially as a solvent in the preparation of shellae, varnish, dyes, etc.), as an ingredient in medical and pharmaceutical preâ€" parations; in the chomical industries and as a fuel and illuminant. An old Irishman was sitting in front of his house pufling away and puiling hervically at his pipe.

Only within recent years has wood alcobol become go dangerous to life and sight. _ Formerly it was a cark, badâ€"smelling, badâ€"tasting fuid which no one was tempted to drink.

If you value your eyeâ€" sight or your life, never use wood alâ€" eochol, denatured alcohol or medicated alcchol for drinking purposes.

Even in cases not resulting fatally there is often total loss of vision. Many questions have been asked about wood alcohol. It was not generâ€" @lly known how deadly is this poisonâ€" ous concoction until the enforcement of prohibition led to the many atâ€" tempts of unscrupulous dealers to sell wood alcohol for drinking purposes. Since then the numerous deaths and cases of blindness resulting have stir red a very deep interest in the subjoct of its manufacture and appearance A typewriter for writing down music has been invented by an Italian mus!â€" cian, Signor Fortoni, who gave a deâ€" monstration of his invention recently to a gathering of musicians in London. The machine is all that is reqvired. Not only can a composition be written down as with pen and ink, but the use of a transfer paper allows of many copies being made at the same time. The machine is worked with a miniaâ€" ture planoforte keyboard. A pointer is moved from note to note, and the action secures a correct position on the stave. Transposition is easy, and the types include the three clefs reâ€" quired. It can also be used as an orâ€" dinary typewriter, thus making it posâ€" sible to write in the words at the same time as the music and also to insert any directions required The cost, it is stated, will be rather less than that of the average typewriter. The French press has been making a good deal of protest against the proâ€" posal of the Polish Government to reâ€" move the remains of Chopin from the PereLacbaise Cemetery in Paris to Warsaw. Although Poland influenced Chopin‘s music, yet it was in Paris, where he lived and worked, that he drew his greatest inspirations His associations in France were made inâ€" timate for the reason that his father, although an exile in Poland and marâ€" ried to a Polish wife, was French, * The idea of music weeks, music fees, tivals, music days, etc., is spreading quickly. Montreal has recently had both a music week and a music festiâ€" val. The Ontario Music Festical at Toronto attracted public interest. A few days ago, the coming festival of music to be held in Leeds, England, was announced, and it was not so long ago that Australian music papers carâ€" ried glowing accounts of a great Music Week conducted in that country. Truly the importance of music in our national life is being seen on all sides. The recent discoveries in the tomb of Tutankhamen, at Luxor, indicates that 30 centuries ago, musical instruâ€" ments occupied an important part in the life of the Egyptians. One of the discoveries was a "sistrum," a metalâ€" lic instrument consisting of a numâ€" ber of metal rods of various lengths and thicknesses,. To hear the tinkle of metal tongues, silent for 3,000 years, must have been a thrilling sound for those privileged to be present. Poisoning by Wood Alcohol.
