As comâ€" mander of the Egyptian Cavalry durâ€" ing the Soudan Campaigns of 1882â€"84 he first came into public notice â€" and established himself in public regard when he was made Governor of Suaâ€" kim. In 1890 he was made Sirdar of Egypt and eight years later he com manded the famous Khartoum expeâ€" dition with conspicuous success and received the thanks of the Governâ€" raent, was raised to the peerage and usknted $510,000. iss Thirteen Years‘ Hard Work in the Desert. This was the result of â€"thirteen years‘ work in the desert when he siâ€" lently pursued the Kalifa and his hordes, laying the railroad each mile as he pushed on, and met the enemy at last, destroying at the great battle of Omdurman nearly 17,000 in the day. He concluded his work by blowâ€" ing up the Madhi‘s tomb, â€" scattering the bones of the prophet to the â€" four winds, and settling the sands of the deser* over the spot where the tomb had been. For this he was severely criticisec and in the House of Comâ€" mons he was censured by some sentiâ€" mentalists for an act of vandalism.

ANNOUNCEMENT. BERLIN COMMISSION HOUSE BERLIN, ONT. MClarys OSCAR MAIN, Principal He lives for his life work; his passion is for efficiency. He serves no other god but the god ofâ€" battles. His whole life has been a planning and organizing of forces. He has never had a great reputation as a skilful leader in manoeuvring; it is as an organizer that he is supreme. He greatly resembles the German traâ€" dition of soldiering, exact in equipâ€" ment, mathematical in calculation, stern to ruthless to accomplish â€" his end. Yet he settled the Boer war by offering to the leaders of the Boers terms of surrender so generous that only a man of statesmanlike mind could have seen them to be justified. For his services as Chief of Staff in South Africa until Lord Roberts _ reâ€" turned home, and as Commanderâ€"in Chief until the conclusion of the war, he was advanced to the rank of a full general in the army and to a viscountâ€" cy in the peerage. There was the further consolation of a grant by Parliament of £250,000 which accomâ€" panied the htanks both houses of panied the thanks both houses _ of His Army Reform Work in India In 1902 he was sent to India as Com manderâ€"inâ€"Chief, where he thoroughly reâ€"organized the Indian army, in which operation he came into colliâ€" sion with Lord Curzon, who married Mary Leiter of Chicago, who resented his highâ€"handed methods. His instructions were to reâ€"organize the British Army in India This reâ€" quired appropriations largely in exâ€" cess of the previous years. He sent the request for their approval to the Indian Council, over which Lord Curâ€" When, after the three awful disasâ€" ters to British arms in South Africa under the command of Gen. Buller, the Daily Mail came out with the plaâ€" card, "The Government‘s Xmas presâ€" ent to the nation; Lord Roberts and Lord. Kitchener to leave for the front," the whole British people gave a great sigh of relief; now the errors would be repaired. Roberts for tacâ€" tics, Kitchener for organization. were to destroy the enemy, and he had done so, and to insure the future peace he had also destroyed the restâ€" ing place of the prophet by whom the fanatics swore, as the tomh would have been a rallying centre for the enemy. He had wiped out all traces of the prophet and the followers. The resulting peace has justified him.

Look for the trade miark, "The Girl with the â€" Auburn Hair." Accept no other. Lord Kitchener is a bachelor. Socieâ€" ty he detests. For women he has no time. He dedicated himself to his work and did not believe in the doâ€" mestic joys for a soldier. All his officers when he commanded the army in Egypt had to be bachelors. He did not want to have men around him sighing for home and wife and chilâ€" dren. Those things are not for a solâ€" dier in Kitchener‘s understanding of the life Girls and women of al ages want to be beautiful and attractive, but unâ€" sightly, thin and lifeless hair deâ€" stroys half the beauty of a pretty face. THIRTY MOUNTAIN Mr. John Wismer, of Beamsville, gave a fine address in the . church here Sunday evening. Mr. P. Groff, wife and daughter vis ited Mr. J. Singer‘s on Sunday last.

Before he had asked, now he demanded. Lord Curzon refused with a curtness that showed _ he beâ€" lieved his will equal to the stern and immobile Kitchener. He was wrong. Lord Kitchener stood upon the broad authority of his commission, . which was to reâ€"organize the army in India, and he demanded that the Home Govâ€" ernment support him. Lord Curzon stood upon his constitutional rights as the civil power to control and overâ€" rule the military. Lord Middleton, the lifeâ€"long friend of Lord Curzon, his fag at Eton, to whom the â€" appeal was made as Secretary of State for India, decided against Curzon and with Kitchener, Lord Curzon resigned and returned to England. His Administrative Work in Egypt. Since 1911 he has held the post in Egypt made famous by Lord Cromer and his system of land reform and his encouragement of cotton growing on the Nile have shown him to be as great an administrator as he is solâ€" dier. His land reform system, moâ€" delled on the plan ‘ adopted by the United States in dealing with the American Indians, which forbids the native to sell his land to contractors, is the system advocated by the reform party in Mexico. On his visit to New York, two years ago, Lord Kitchener made a very faâ€" vorable impression, not by what he said but by his astonishing power of saying nothing and his imperturbable demeanor.

Hardman, of White counâ€" ty, Georgia, realized the possibilities of this cheaplyâ€"made power, not alone for the purpose of lighting his country home, barn and other buildâ€" ings, but for operating various farm mechines connected with the _ home and the farm. The doctor operates a small roller mill on the Chattahooâ€" cheé river. He purchased a fifteenâ€" horseâ€"power generator, placed it in a room next to the roller mill and connected . it so that all the miller had to do was to throw a belt on and !off to start and stop the generator. A line 2,000 feet long was run from the generator to the barn and dairy. This line carried a direct current of 110 voltage and required a large copper wire. From this plant the mill is equipped ‘with light, an â€" elevenâ€"room. "r«tidenice, a summer home;, tenant, houses on the farm, horse batn, dairy and cattle ibarn and also a nearby church _ are supplied _ with lights. In the barn the current operâ€" ates a machine for threshing grain, cutting up silage and clover, husking corn, grinding sorghum, cutting _ up pomace and blowing into the silos and for any other purpose to iwhich it might be adapted or called for. The miotor was so placed that an attached wire permitted the power to be directed to any machine without movinig the miotor to the desired anâ€" gle. In the dairy jwas also placed a threeâ€"horse power motor to operate the churn and separator. The power has also been used in the house to iron the clothes and as there _ seems to be power still going to waste, # (Where a roller mill is cperated it is possible with little expense, save that of the equipment, to _ hitch _ a generator of sufficient horsepower to the mill power and from the current thus made distribute it to various homes in the vicinity. ~‘Toâ€"day is an age of progress and rowhere is its advance more appreâ€" ciated than in the country. Some one has defined the ideal home as the home containing all of the advanâ€" tages of the country and none of e disadvantages of the city. One of the definitions of this statement is a pre scription for a practical, efficient lighting the farm home _ and other farm buildings. Electricity from Water Power The ideal light is electric light and the cheapest method of obtaining it is through generating the current with water power. It will materially reduce the cost to the individual, whose farm borders a stream, to form a partnership with his neighâ€" bors to install a turbine wheel _ and electric generator and transform the water jpower into electric energy, distributing it through feed wires to the various farms. If the flow of the stream is variable, as in creeks and small rivers, it may be necessary to construct a dam and thus get suffiâ€" cient head to develop power. There ‘are many miles of roads which must be maintained by some inexpensive means. The splitâ€"log dras has been found to be one of the most useful imiplements for this purpose. It is now in use in many localities and this simiple instrument is keepâ€" ing@ in repair economically an increas ing mileage of the rural highways of this country. ‘A dry, sound, red cedar log is the best material for _ a drag, the hard woods being usually too heavy for this purpose. It should be from 7 to 8 feet long, from 10 to 12 inches _ in Giameter and carefully sawn down the middle. The heaviest and best slab should ibe selected for the cenâ€" tre, both flat sides to the front and should be set on edge 30 inches apart. The back half is given a setbhack â€" of 16 to 18 inches at the rightâ€"hand end, so that when the drag is drawn along at an angle parallel to the Gitch on the right hand side of _ the road, the extremities of the back half will be directly behind those of â€" the front half, as, otherwise, the ditch end of the rear slab _ would project past the ditch en‘d of the front slab, resulting in crowding into the bank and interfering with the proper work ing of the drag. To this day, in spite of the comâ€" mon use of electricity in towns and cities, the devising of â€" acetylene plants and gasoline gas plants for farm home, the kerosene lamp, rathâ€" er more than less odorous, leaky and otherwise objectionable, is in use in the majority of farmsteads. The question of light and plenty of it, for the farm home is growing in imiportance and interest. _ In farâ€" back days a wick _ of tow or flax, swimming in an open vessel of _ oil, ‘was the means used to lighten the gloom of night; and then came,. tapâ€" ers of wax, the tallow dip of our fore dathef and the evollution to a keroâ€" sene lamip. There is need for ibetter lighting throughout the country. Life and living take on far more attractive hues when viewed through the illum inations of a home lighting plant, be it electric or gas. Two erossâ€"pieces are wedged in twoâ€"inch augerâ€"holes _ bored through the slabs and, on the rightâ€"hand side, a jpiece of scantling is inserted beâ€" tween the ends of the slabs. This is of great value in strengthening and stiffening the end of the front slab. In working a clay or gumbo road _ it is advisable to mut iron on the lower edige of both flat sides. Handles may be attached to iron shoes shaped like sledâ€"runners, the shoes to be stapled to the back _ of each end of the front slab in such a way as to allow motion sideway as well as up and down. By pressing the handles the drag can ‘be raised, thus depositing a _ load of dirt when desired to fill a hollow . or increase the crown at some particular spot. A platform â€" of inch boards held together by three cleats should _ be placed on the stakes beteween . the slabs. These boards should be placed at least an inch apart to allow _ any earth that may heap up and fall over How to Construct and use the Splitâ€"Log Drag Farm Home Lighting There are no shadows in this light, there‘ is no glare to hurt the eyes, It reverses the usual order of handâ€" ing light fixtures, but many of the leading manufactures of fine furniâ€" ture and art wares are employing the reflected light fixtures in their disâ€" play rooms and say it gives better results, is less trying to eyes and adds to the beauty of their merchanâ€" dise. ‘ Lighting Fixtures Fixtures is a matter of personal taste in the miatter of cost and may be as simple or sp elaborate as â€" the purchaser may decide. It may â€" be worth while in regard to selecting electric fixtures to conisder the reâ€" flected light fixtures which consists of a (bowl of terra cotta, white glass or colored glass. The sockets and con nections are in the bottom of the bowl! and it is hung in chains from the ceiling open side up. This throws the light of the bulbs inside the bowill against the ceiling, not downâ€" ward into the room. . The advantage of this plan is helped by a lightâ€"colâ€" ored ceiling, cream, by preferenice. The light strikes this ceiling and â€" is @iffused through the rooim in a soft mellow radiance. Acetylene and Gasoline Gas Acetylene miakes one of the clearâ€" est artificial lights. It has ‘been proâ€" nounced the light nearest to sunlight in that colors apparently are of the same shade in one as the other. Of recent years the acetylene plant for the farm/ has bee~ improved and â€" its safety better provided for. It is effecâ€" tive as a light. No mantels or chimâ€" neys are required and the cost of miaintainance, judged by the quality of light is reasonable. ‘Certainly the kerosene lamp suffers by comparison, although the coal cil lamip is cheaper. All over the country the acet)f(fen-a plants have been installed and _ are undergoing effective service. A simple lighting equipment may be made up of an engine, generator and a storage battery of ten amperes. A battery of this size holds 300 watts and a sevenâ€"room house should burn less than this amount in a week. It requires eight hours to recharge this battery afters its power has been comipletely used. In addition . to the house lighting, this outfit will operate a vacuum cleaner, electric iron, operate the washing machine, sewing machine and fan. The cost of wiring is $40 and upward. It is suspected that one good reaâ€" son for linking up power shortcuts for many tasks on the farm to lightâ€" ing the farm home is that the farm home may be included in the modern uplift. The gasoline engine has had its province of usefulness vastly enâ€" lariged of late years and the manufacâ€" ture of electric current by operating a generator is now made to perform other services than that of lighting the home. The cost of installing _ a home plant and the miaintainance has turmed the attention of many to less expensive lighting systems. The conâ€" venience, cleanliness and _ general superiority of electric light are patâ€" ent advocates for this type of equipâ€" ment, the extreme cost being in most instances limited to a few hundred dollars for installment.. Maintenance is, however, a considerable item and the cost of lighting with such â€" an equipment is doubtless one of the principal reasons why â€" more _ farm homes are not electrically lighted. the front slab to sift through upon the road again. The end cleats should be placed so that they will mot rest upon the crosgs stakes, but drop inside them. _ These cleats should _ extend about an inch beyond _ the finished width _ of the platform. An extra weight may be added if necessary, but it is seldom needed. To use the drag, attach a chain to the left cross piece, which is behind the front slab,, running the other end of the chain near the right end _ or around the front end. It is a mistake to hook this end of the chain over the front slab as in the case of the other end, for when the drag strikes a stome or snag there is great danger of toppling forward. With the right end of the chain drawn through the hole in the slab as suggested, this danger is ‘obviated. Trhe operation of the drag is very simple. For ordinary smoothing purâ€" poses the drag may be ddawn up and down the road or~ or two rounds, commencing at the edige and wodking towards the centre. Usually it is drawn at an angle of about 45 deâ€" grees. For the last stroke or two the drag may be drawn backwards with the round side of the slab to the front and with comiparatively _ dittle angle. Raised Doughnutsâ€"Farly in « the evening stir half a cake of compress ed yeast into one fourth of a cupful of warm water, mix in enough flour to make a soft dough, knead till very e astic, cut it across the top in both directions and put it into a bowl of tepid water. When it is very puffy and light remove with a skimmer to the mixing bowl; add a teaspoonful . of salt, a cupful of scalded _ and cooled millk, oneâ€"third of a cupful of melted butter, two beaten eggs, threeâ€"fourths of a cupful of sugar, â€" nutmeg and cinnamon to taste and flour to make a soft dough.
