The minister of a * mall country flock was discussing with an illiterate member of his church religious topics of varying interest. 'The member ex- pressed the suggestion that even the best were none too good in. this vale of sin and tribulation, "You believe, then," interposed" the preacher, "in the doctrine of total depravity?" "Yes, sir, I do," responded the mem- ber, "that is, where it is lived up to."

This newspaper says that violation of this decree is punishable by imprisonment of ten to twenty years, and even by capital punishment under certain con- ditions. DENIES GERMAN WOMEN ARE LEFT TO MOB'S MERCY A despatch to London says: The Home Secretary has issued a denial of statements published in the United States that German women and chil- do,,| dren in London are being expesed to the fury of mobs, which are encour- aged by the police whenever they ven ture out of doors, are prevented from buying food, and are compelled to subsist on what they can beg. The Home Secretary says that all German women desiring to return to Germany are given facilities for so doing, and that, together with their _| children, they receive the same police protection as British - subjects and similar relief from the guardians of the poor if they are destitiite. It is added that access to hospitals on the same terms as Britishers are accorded German women and 'children "when they are ill. rere PARENTS OF WAR HERO GET VICTORIA CROSS A despatch to Montreal says: The Victoria Cross won by the late Lance- Corporal Frederick Fisher, of the 13th battalion, at St. Julien, where he 'was killed, has been received by the hero's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Fisher, 576 Lansdowne Avenue, Westmount, accompanied by a letter of -apprecia~ tion from the British. War Office. The dec-nsed soldier earned the distinction of 'the Cross by gallantly assisting with a machine , in covering' the retreat of a battery, and later bring- ing his machine gun into action, un- der very heavy fire, inorder to cover the advance of supports. It was while doing this he was killed. He wag only 20 years of age. RNY BET el ENTANGLED IN A R "AND KILLED BY HORSES "A despatch from London says: "Death by misadventure" is' the ver- oi, Ont,, of the 2nd at Shorncliffe: ment was discovered, and the tailings which encumbered the landscape for miles around suddenly became new mines. It was found that the amount of 'gold left in them was enormous. Many fortunes were made out of tail ings alone. : ; There has been much talk of cap- turing the German trade in aliline dyes, a process of exploiting coal-tar, , discovered by British chemists but de- veloped by German manufacturers, But in the earlier days of gaslighting the coal-tar was regarded as a horri- ble nuisance, and surreptitiously got rid of. / "Then the great discovery was made that all the hues of the rainbow dwelf in this dirty-looking stuff which men « despised and threw away. To-day the by-products of coal-tar are counted by the dozen. In Lancashire alone cotton-waste has an annual value of fifteen millions sterling] It consists of fag-ends and sweepings and pickings and combings. Thousands of women are employed to divide this stuff into good, middling, and bad, and it is sold at various prices for different purposes----paper- making, matting, surgical wadding, and, most of all, the making of shod- d. y. Soap-boilers used to have great dif- ficulty in getting rid of a thick, evil- smelling liquid which was the: chief by-product of their industry. They ran it into streams and sewers. Pre sently someone began collecting it and refining it. The result was pure glycerine. A young man who had been reduced literally to his last cent was wander- ing aimlessly about the docks of Liverpool. He saw a lot of frowsy- looking stuff, the use of which nebody could tell him. It had come from South Africa three months : before and had failed to. find a purchaser. The young man made a bid of eigh- teenpence a pound, and bought the lot, three hundred bales. It was alpaca, the wool of a sort of camel- like sheep. The purchdser's name was Titus Salt, the founder of Sal- taire, England. erie THE DEATH OF PEGOUD IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED A despatch from Paris says: Re- ports of the death of Adolphe Pegoud, the famous aviator, have been official- ly confirmed. The news caused sin- cere sorrow among the French people, who regarded him as a hero. Pegoud, who was only 26 years of age, served five years in the French cgvalry, fighting in the Morocco cam- paign. At the outbreak of the present war he joined the aviation corps as a private, but soon gained a sub-Tieu- tenant's commission because of his skill "and "daring. His exploits won him the Military Medal and the Mili- tary Cross. Pegoud brought down his German aircraft on July 11. : ern Wonders of the World. ® The seven wonders of the ancient world were the Pyramids 'of Egypt; the Tomb of 'the King of Caria; the Temple of Diana at Ephesus; the.
