At first, it was made of the cellular pith of the papyrus laid in strips side by side and a further layer laid above the first crosswise; the whole was then damp- ed with Nile water and pressed. Later the Arabs made paper from rags, and among other names given to it was “oharta cuttunea,” because it had a cottony appearance, which gave rise to the idea that at one time paper pulp was made here from cotton wool. So much paper was made and exported tom Alexandria at one time that the Emperor Hadrian was particularly im- {hi-eased when he visited the city with e great and flourishing trade in this fartiola It is strange to reflect that having been, as it were, the me of paper, Egypt is to-day abso- lately depedent on her imports of this material. The question natur- ally arises, Is it possible for Egypt once more to make herself at least readlv for business. Wintér term opens Jan. 2. Call or Write for information. MT.

They were returning from a hunting trip of 700 or 800 miles with some specimens for me, but their dogs died and they had to throw what I believe to be gold away. They told me of a ledge where the metal dropped off in pieces, and from what they said I should judge the veins must have been very rich. One of them had 3 her- poon, the point of which was made of the yellow metal. They told me also of an Eskimo who used in his gun bullets that he had hammered out of As for the petroleum, Mr. Leden said, the Eskimos objected seriously to the smell of the 011, although they were accustomed to strong odors. Eskimos, he explained, never take a bath. He declined to give an idea of the locality of the gold deposits other than to say: “It would have taken me two years more to have gone where the gold is.” Mr. Leden travelled with tribes of Eskimos for three years, prin- cipally to study the native music, which was neither major nor minor ' Live stock may be sfibstitu‘ted for cultivation under certain con- ditions.

Hayes, of Trenton, the popular graduate and athlete of the University. of Toronto, who was killed in action last month, perform- ed a very gallant deed a few days before he fell, for which he was awarded the Military Medal. The following letter received by his fa- ther, Mr. H. W. Hayes, of Trenton, from Major E. C. Hall, gives details of his bravery and his death: “I know how inadequate it is for a stranger,” he writes. “to write a father about the loss of his son, but please don’t look upon me as an out- sider, as your son in the short time we were together installed himself in my thoughts. I really think the way he had of smiling with eyes is what endeared him so much to us. Only a few days before we had a gun-pit hit and the ammunition set on fire. Apparently everyone was accounted for, but he had an idea that some- one was amongst the burning and exploding shells, so with his great friend, Sergt. Little, he went back to the fire and put it out, only to find that the man he thought might be only wounded had been killed in.- stantly. He did all this under heavy shell fire, with the additional dan- ger from the bursting shells that were on fire. He was awarded the Military Medal, but unfortunately he never knew about winning the decor- ation. “I am only mentioning one inci- dent, but his work was always of that type. If he had been spared he would have been granted his com. mission early in the winter, or rather as soon as there would have been vacancies. He was one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of serving with, and was without excep- tion the most efficient N’.C.O. I have ever known.” The average person in Canada does not realize what it means to handle tr00ps in camps which, com- pared with Camp Borden, are twice its size. Occasionally 5,000 or 10,- 000 people are seen gathered at some function, but there are very few places in the Dominion that can mus- ter a crowd of these proportions. If one stops to think, it will be readily realized that to handle expeditiously and without confusion an army of this size perfec". system is required. As a matter of fact, it is no small task to keep a body of men of this size in a perfect state of discipline and health in ordinary camp routine. The capacity for work of headquarâ€" ter’s staff can be judged from the fact that they average eleven hours a day for seven days a week, and are fre- quently called up at night when cir- cumstances demand. It was his "rst campaign, his first poliitcal speech even. Although the county committee had sent him into a rural district to try out his oratori- cal wings, he was encouraged by the warm welcome of the local commit- tee that were evident on all sides. There was even a band that played on the stand in the public square for half an hour before the speech. The chairman stepped to the platform rail and addressed the crowd. “Fel- low-citizens,” he said, “we have with us to-day a young man who is destined to make his mark in the ranks of our party. He comes to tell us of the burning issues that con- front us, and his fame as an orator has preceded him. He will now ad- dress you, and when he has finished the-band will call you together There are now three great training camps in England: the training divi- sion at Shorncliffe, which is well known to the‘people in Canada; the training area at Bramshott, which We have occupied for over a year, and a new command at Brighton, Which has just recently been estab- lished. Concerning the latter, al- though it is probably our finest camp, the people in Canada know very little. The Brighton command consists of four main camps, located at Crowborough, Hastings, Shore- ham, and Seaford. These camps are organized and administered by Maj.- General J. C. MacDougall, C.M.G.. and his headquarters staff at Brigh- ton. Lieut.-Colonel D. W. B. Spry, assistant adjutant and quartermaster general, is chief administrative ofli cer, and the administrative staff is responsible for everything concern- ing the maintenance and care of the troops. It will be easily understood that the administrative staff were exceed- ingly busy when this command was formed. Large bodies of troops had to be tranSported to the various areas, supplied with food directly on their arrival, and at once organized into camps. Bread is made from chestnuts by the mountain peasantry in Italy and France. After the nuts have been blanched they are dried and ground.
