1T shall be as the memsahib says"
replied Ramabai, resignedly.
One morning Umballa entered the
judgment hall of the palace, disturbed
in mind. Anonymous notes, bidding
him not to persecute Ramabai and his
wife further, on pain Of death. He
had found these notes at the door of
his zenana. in his stables, on his pill
lows. In his heart he had sworn the
death of Ramabai; but here was a
phase upon which he had set no cal
culation. Had there not been unrest
abroad he would have scorned to pay
any attention to these warnings; but
this Ramabai-may he burn in hell!-
was a power with the populace, with
low and high castes alike, and for the
first time, now that he gave the matter
careful thought, his own future did
not look particularly clear More than
ever he must plan with circumspec-
ton. He must trap Ramabai, openly,
lawfully, in the matter of sedition.
Imagine his astonishment when, a
few minutes after his arrival, Ramabai
and Pundita demanded audience, the
one straight of back and proud Of look,
the other serene and tranquil! Umbal-
la felt a wave of blind hatred surge
over him, but he gave no sign. Rama
bal stated his case briefly. Colonel
Hare and his daughter we're being
held prisoners for ransom. Three
bags of silver-something like five
thousand rupees-were demanded by
the captors.
The Council looked toward Umballa,
who nodded, having in mind the part
Of the good Samaritan, with reserva-
tions, to be sure Having trod the
paths of the white man, he had ac-
quired a certain adroitness in holding
his people. They had at best only the

Breathe Clean Air.

No matter how carefully screened
the windows OF a sleeping car may
be, dust and dirt will sift through the
netting. So when you travel in a train
at night you are forced to breathe in
some unwelcome particles Of SCOT and
soil.
To keep out these particles carry a
roll of cheese cloth or gauze when you
travel and at night wet a square Of it
and tack it with thumbtacks or pins
over the window screen. In the morn
ing this square will be thick with SCOT
and dust-and your lungs will be free
OF just that much less So will your
clothes, which is another considera-
ton worth while.

"War Bread" of Soldiers.
THE commissary departments of III

THE commissary departments of tho
armies of Europe in supplying
war bread" to troops have sought to
give to the men bread ration of the
highest nutritive value as well as OF
the highest degree of palatability. This
war bread" is not the bread which is
regularly baked in the field bakeries
for issue and consumption within the
customary time. but is bread that is
issued to troops to be eaten when fresh
bread cannot be had. Large quantities
of it were in stock when the war came
on, and. this issued, the TX has no
doubt been maintained by further bak-
ings.
The war bread of the German soldier
is made of wheat flour, rice, potato
-four. eggs, salt and sugar, and is
spiced with caroway seed.
The war bread of the Austrian soldier
is made Of wheat -four. potato flour.
eggs. milk. yeast and salt, and is fla
vored with cinnamon and nutmeg
The war bread of the Belgian army is
made of wheat flour. sugar and eggs.
The war bread of the French soldier is
baked OF flour, yeast and water, and
the. war bread of the British army is
thoroughly baked wheat flour put up in
air-tight tin boxes. which. like thu
hrst-aid pocket, is not to be opened
until needed.

THE BIRTH OF SIEGE GUNS.

~IEcE onerations are as old as war
itself. But the bombardment OF
~ fortresses and cities is a modern
practice which implies the use OF ar
tillery. Early history records the use
of grotesque engines in the form y!
crossbows and sings for the hurting OF
nonderous stones against fortifcations,
but these were all used be1ore the IN
production ot gunpowder ana had SO
many disadvantages attached 10 theiI
operation that they could haroiy De
listed as the progenitors OF the mooerh
bombardment equipment
With the arrival of gunpowder upon
the battlefield came the real lombard
uents as we know them today AS
though to emphasize their coming all
the more strongly. history marks the
date with great practical demonstra-
ton In 1853 Constantinople fell, ana
because it was the first city of any
consequence to succumb to the batter
ing of cannon. this date is taken as the
transition point from the old to the
new And striking transition IT was
this bomba rdment which struck the
blow to medievalism-for there about
Constantinople were arrayed b' tering
rams and monster cannon that Tor
mere sibe can be surpassed only by the
siege guns now in use by the German
army.
The story of the siege of CONSTANT
nople, which marks the first use OF
modern artillery, is intensely interest

Turk as 1t is of the Russian today, to

was girt with formidable walls. and Its
population. even in those remote days

But ii was not the population that
Mohammed feared His own army In

noisy and blatant than efficacious.
What he found to be In operation as
did not impress him as being very en-
couraginS. Great thimble shaped bonn
bards built of mortar, having a wide,
faring bore like blunderbuss, were
IN vogue, but when they were used for
tossing big powders at high angle
they effected little damage. except to
the gunners in the event of bursting.
Mohammed had the lombard made of
slaves and strongly hooped with rings
of the same material. But this style
proved little more effective than the
others made of primitive mortar. Then
came the idea of casting genuine
cannon in bronze. This first piece Of
artillery was guaranteed to breach the
walls of ancient Babylon itself. It's
bore was three feet across: hogshead

agents, and at the same time it placed
at the disposal of the new bureau a
highly efficient organiza ton. amply
capable of handling its business. and
lishment of separate branches.
AS soon as it was fairly on its feet
the bureau announced that 1t reserved
the right to refuse insurance upon ves-
zones. which, in the opinion of the Of
ficials. would make the chances against
them too great to be. considered for
protection. The especially prescribed
ports selected by the bureau are those
upon the North sea, between the lati-
tudes of Christiansand and Amsterdam:
ports on the Kattegat or Baltic sea, to-
gether with adjacent waters, and points
Bosporous.
The schedules of the new bureau per-
init an owner to insure his vessel either
for single voyage or for a period not
of the world except those especially
prescribed, although some distinction is
made between different ports in the
table of rates.
This table of rates divides the waters
into three zones. The first zone includes
voyages between the ports of the United
States and it's possessions. or any non.
belligerent port in the western hemiS.
phere. For voyage in this zone, upon
cargo or vessel the insurance rate
is one-half per cent.
The second zone includes non-b bel
ligerent ports other than the above. and
not north of Havre in Europe nor east
of Sicily In the Mediterranean. Upon
cargoeS of this division a premium Of
l per cent is charged: upon the hulls,
three-quarterS per cent
The third division includes all other
ports. In this classification the charge
on cargoes is 1 " per cent; upon hulis.
per cent.
Vessels may be insured for a period
of ninety days. If using only non-bel-
ligerent ports in the western hemis-
phere. at the rate of l per cent, and. in
the absence of fulfilling this provision
at double that premium.
Under the present regulations OF the
war risk bureau all applications for in
surance must be made either to the
duly authorized agents in ports of the
United States. or directly to the bureau
of war risk insurance in Washington.
and upon approval of the applications
policies are issued either for time or
for voyage. as the applicant may desire.
But the government, unwilling to take
risks upon any goods which may be
deemed contraband. or which may be
abandoned by the owners at the first
