H % ¢ €#ral years, promises to | msual catches this year The sardine famine off the coast of Brittany, which has extended over seyâ€" a shame. The schoolboy has never heard of it; the journalist, who in these stirâ€" ving times is called upon to summarise the triumphs and defeats of bygone days, seems often in like plight. Thackeray‘s Virginians is probably responsible for much of the recollection that survives of the Monongahela, though Braddock khad not nearly as many men in action as fell at Ticonderoga. Cooper was not «o fortunate in fastening upon the pubâ€" lic mind that Homeric contest on Lake Champlain, which was, perhaps, the most humiliating reverse we ever suffered at the hands of the French, and a fight that, mave for Burgoyne‘s surrender, far overâ€" shadows any of the numerous conflicts fought in that historie region. Doubtless there are mysteries in adâ€" vertising. but they are being gndunll{ uncovered. Among the discoveries whic experience has made is this: "In adverâ€" tising it is not a auestion of selecting many mediums which are good, but rather the few which are best." Such was Ticonderoga, the least reâ€" membered, though one of the bloodiest, most desperate and most dramatic batâ€" tles of our history, at once a glory and It now remained but to count the eost, and this was frightful. Very nearâ€" ly 2.000 men had fallen in a short quarâ€" ter of a summer day, and the greater part of these were of the 6,000 regulars, who had borne the chief part of the afâ€" fray. _ Three hundred provincials only figure in the returns, but no half disciâ€" plined militia, without bayonets, howâ€" ever brave, could have been launched upâ€" on a task so obviously hopeless. _ For sheer intrepidity, however, the â€" "Black Watch" must bear off the palm on a day as memorable for individual heroâ€" ism as for concrete failure. This fine reâ€" giment, every one of whose soldiers," says a contemporary writer, who knew them intimately, "considered himself as raised somewhat above the rank of a common man, went into action over 1,â€" 000 strong and came out 499. _ The French loss was over 400, though de Bourlamaque was seriously, and de Bouâ€" gainville slightly wounded. rosition in danger, and he had to hurry n person . with a strong support to where a group of Highlanders, with superb indifference to death, were makâ€" ing their way up and over the parapet. But the gallant effort was fruitless. It was the last of the succession of furious attacks to which Montcalm does full jusâ€" tice, marvelling in his heart at ‘the madness which inspired them, and wellâ€" ing over with gratitude at his good forâ€" tune. One or two more halfâ€"hearted and despairing attempts were made upon the deadly lines, when the general, recoÂ¥niz- ing at 6 o‘clock what he should have seen at once, gave the order to retire. ‘Then amid some desultory firing of colonials and rangers from the borgering forest, the shattered British regiments fell back to the saw mill, whither the wounded had been previously conveyed in batches, and those yet to be gathered from the battlefield, were subsequently taken. The French had done enough. They were as exhausted with the great strain of their victory as they were exâ€" alted and made no attempt to molest the retreat, and the British army spent that night in peace at the sawâ€"mill. It was within a day of being the third anniversary of Braddock‘s defeat, and as on that fatal field, the full heat of the hottest period of the American sumâ€" mer simmered in the smokeâ€"charged clearing, which even the warm lake breezes could not reach. It was 5 o‘clock and nearly four hours of this intense work had not daunted the spirit of these gallant men, for it was at this moment that the most furious onslaught of the whole day was made upon the French right. Then, and then only for a few brief minutes, was Montcalm‘s The greatest defeat ever inflicted on the English by the French was at Tiâ€" eonderoga.

Then the sticks are unwrapped again, brushed, rubbed and finally polished with a polâ€" isher made of agate. Then the stuff is shaped into the sticks that we know, and it is beaten with little hammers until each stick is perfect. After this the sticks are placed into wooden forms to harden. The forms have raised letters carved on them and these impress themselves on the sticks, making the trade marks which are faâ€" miliar to all users of India ink.
