were seriously hampered by the ever

revolving turrets containing high pow

are slightly below low-water mark, but
submarine chambers are provided for

From this brief description 1t win be

the forts on the Ranking embankments.

From far-away Ceylon comes funny
little story. A tea planter who had u
glass eye was DESTROYS Of going away
for days shooting with friend, but
he knew that as soon AS the natives
who were at work on the plantation
heard that he was gone they would not
do stroke Of work. How was he TO
get off? That was the question. After
much thought an Idea struck him. Go
ing up to the men he addressed them
thus:
although l myself will be absent.
vet | shall leave one of my eyes to see
that you do your work" And much to
the surprise and bewilderment OF the
natives, he took out the glass eye aud
placed 1t on the stump OF tree and
left. For some time the men worked
lndustriously: but at last one Of them,
selling his tin. in which he carried his
food, approached the tree, and gently
placed 1t over the eye. This done, they
all lay down and slept sweeuy until
sunset

Walking CorrectIy.

Many children are taught at home
and at school to walk on their toes.
This will do in sick room when one
has squeaking shoes, but 1t Is not
natural or elegant. Put the heels
down lightly at first and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect, instead OF
bending the body forward, as a per-
son must who walks on his toes.
Walking should be more thoroughly
taught in our gymnastic schools II
costs little to learn 10 walk correctly.
aud 1t is well worth while to spend a
little time to acquire the art.-New
