Berlin, July 24.--Max Osborne inover the seriouzness of the fate of a despatch to the Vossische Zeitung from western headquarters, says: "We are shaken by burning pain as new streams of German blood are flowing, and we recognize our power- lessness over what cannot be chang- ed "After two years of war the Angel of Destruction is passing through the ranks of the German arms with a fury and mercilessness as if the death dance of battles had only just begun.

The Government appeal to us all to (row, as far as possible, what food- tuffs we can, and otherwise provide wir own "rations," has already been orestalled by certain towns in the ountry. Torquay owns a big rabbit- warren and a fine lot of sheep. It yrought about two thousand acres jome years back far up on Dartmoor, 0 get water for the town. By hance there was a good rabbit-war- 'en on the land, and Torquay had the sense to keep this going, and one year recently it sold no less than 10,000 rabbits, at an average of sixpence sach, from its very own rabbit-firi! As there was too much grass there, Torquay also begam by buying fifty sheep, and now it has quite a yearly Income, too, from its sheep-farms on Dartmoor. Leeds bas stocked the splendid lakes at Roundhay Park, and also the big reservoirs at Fewston and Eccup, with fish, so that anglers from the woollen towns can enjoy an ex- cellent day's sport for the sum of one shilling a day. The city makes quite 2 nice littie sum annually from this source--for what Leeds does not know about making money is certainly not worth krowing. Edinburgh owns several meadows in the heart of the city, These fields are put to good use. In the spring they are hayfields, the crops selling for very respectable sums, too, each year. After the hay-harvest is aver Edinburgh lets out. the meadows for other purposes connected with cattle and farming, and adds a bit morg to the money thus acquired by / tig canny Scottish rulers of the town, Not satisfied with the milk coming 'n for its sickly children and indi- gent families, the Corporation of 3t.

There is a picture in this year's show at the Royal Academy which bas a singular history. It was paint- ed by an artist who is now a captain on active service, but the picture is not the one which he showed to his friends as this year's contribution. The original was of a sunset over a ploughed field, a fine landscape in a style which has distinguished the art- ist. Five months ago the painter was home on leave, and he spent it work- ing over his picture, To-day fhe can- vas shows the ploughed field and the sunset; but it also shows six soldiers fallen about a cannon, into the breech of which one survivor is plac- ing the last shell. It is a fine pic- ture, and by no means a pot-boiler. The captain witnessed the incident he depicts. The fortunate thing was that the landscape was ready for the figupes--for no Academy picture could he painted during seventy-two hours' leave. 5 Feats of Beefsteak Champions, Champion Fried Egg Eater of the Berkshires was the title of Louis Morris of Housatonic, Mass., before he entered into a recent egg-eating contest on a wager. He bad a record of twenty-one eggs, and the wager was on his contention that he could easily increase this record to twenty- five. When he reached seventeen eggs he was seized with an attack of acute indigestion, and worked over him for an hour before | he was restored to consciousness and pronounced out of danger. He also has a record for fifty-four ears of green corn.
