to the scheme that this line should be
carried through to Fashoda.
But it is equally essential that we
should retain Fashoda, both for the
prevention of the plan-which would
be a severe blow to British interests
and for the establishment of that Cape

give us supremacy in Africa. The
issueo at stake are SO vital to both
countries that conflict between them

THE FASHODA AFFAIR.
Events Leading Up to the Crisis Between Great
Britain and France.
Britain and rance.

When the British forces of General
Kitchener arrived they found Mar
chand and his expedition encamped
there. The cable reported cordial
meetings between the rival forces, but
the news, previously sent, of Mar
chand's arrival at Fashoda created in
tense excitement in London and Paris.
The reports received in London were
further to the effect that only the
Egyptian flag was raised by Kitchener,
and that the British union jack did
not figure in the assumption of con-
troll. 1t was also reported that no in
dignity was shown the French flag,
which Marchand kept unfurled during

C1ippinC Wings.

Many hesitate to clip the wing on
.ccount of an almost certain disfgure-
nent that is likely to be the result.
+ care is taken in cutting, the wings
an be clipped in such manner that
he mutilated feathers cannot be de-
ected unless the fowl is caught. 1
,ave flock of Leghorns which re-
.ently clipped; it would take very
cute observer 10 note that the wings
lad been tampered with in the least.
The task is by no means difficult;
my one can do it by using a little
.are. If the operator is right
'erson, take the fowl in the left hand
md hold close to the body partly by
he hand and forearm. Spread out
he left wing with the thumb and fore
niger of the arm that is holding the
owl With the right hand take a
harp pair of shears and cut the fight
Gathers, or the ones on the outer side;
tut until you come to the natural div
sion between the fight feathers and
he secondaries. The section that
lhould be cut is technically known as
ue primaries. Ii We prlulurleS are
mt as close to the flesh as possible
md the operator is careful not to cut
,ver too far and get into the second
lries, the effect will not be noticed
When the fowl is i'll its natural posi-
ion. Except in extreme cases this
will prove just as effective i'll restrain
ng high flyers as though the wing had
,een practically cut entirely away.
When this is not sufficient, which is
leldom the case, more clipping will be

Some Of YOU have wasted much time
the past year. You spendthritts, Re
solve and act against this for the year TO
come. Wake up 10 the fact that time
spent is time irreeoverable. How much
Of il do you think you have: Not more
than thirty years, probably. And il BY
reason of strength some remain effective
for fifty years, what petty span OF time
even that il. Too often definite lines
are not decided on until after We are
thirty, aud falling powers weaken us be-
fore we are fifty. Thus all the products
OF all the ages, ss far as they Influence
Us, are crowded into twenty or thirty
years. We should be misers of time
rather than MASTERS. Thus would even
rest and recreation have a purpose and
dignity.-And some OF YOU have tried 20
do, but have failed 10 accomplish and
you envy the many great and the many
good who have excelled in efforts. Cease
repining and turn once more 90 the task :;
for the greatest have never had more
than your own measure Of time,-txenty-
four hours 10 the day. And some OF YOU
have sorrowed and buried the heart right
out Of your work. God pity you, and
show you way out into some measure
Of sunlight during the year TO come.
Remember that as long as you live, you
have duties TO others and that the awak-
ening Of your social conscience has in it
the power 20 gather up broken threads
Of life. Effort for others is a wondrous
sslve.
