This anecdote -is told of the late Prince Bismarck: One evening when the German troops were before Paris Duke Ernst of Baxe-Coburg-Gotha began grumbling in _ Bismarck s presence because the iron cross of the first class, given for bravery in the field of battle, hadbeen distributed too in- discriminately. Bismarck replied that the distribution of such decorations was al- ways a delicate and difficult task, for," said he, conspicuous merit has to be re- warded, but in some cases conspicuous position. with or vgithout merit, cannot be overlooked. See now, . he said, Moltke has it, Boon has it, Blumenthais has it. Excellent! 1 But," he added, your highness and I have it, too. and surely it is not for us to grumble. . . V OFFICE Ross Block.

Supply and Transport in the British A.-mu.-u For very many years it has been more than suspected that. in the event of a mobilization for war, there was a probability of serious trouble in the or- ganization and working of these de- partments of our army which have to deal with the duties of supply and transport. To maintain these depart- ments on a war footing in times of peace is, from nancial reasons, an impossibility, therefore it was decided that one of the first questions to be settled at these manoeuvres waswhether we could rely on supplementing our military transport in `case of need by civilian transport hired from some of our great contractors.

A correspondent in Italy of The Table in London gives an account of a visit to a fac- tory devoted to this industry. The fruit from which the nished product is made is like a large lemon eight or ten pounds in weight. It grows in groves in Corsica and Calabria upon trees about six feet in height. The rst process is to cut the fruit in halves and take out the cores, which are discarded. The peel is then sealed in barrels of salt water for two or three weeks. It is then withdrawn and soaked for 21 days in a succession of sirups, beginning with eight parts of sugar to 20 of water until the nal one contains 20 narts of sugar to one of water. 1111.. -nnII- 4-`-1111 I--nnnl-tn` `:3 fknll `B When making a cash` purchase ask` `us for CASH-' COUPONS. | lmenise in In: AnvAucE."] A good Corner Lot of Land in Allan- Adale Ward,'for Cordwopd.

While stiu hot it is packed in wooden boxes, in which it is sold by wholesale. The peel thus treat- ed will keep for ten years, although the fresher it is the better.
