BeIlIocrent Grocers.

Lord Kitchener's message, pro-
claimed by the secretary of the Brit
ish Grocers' federation, that "the gov
eminent wants more men, and among
other places wants them out B.. of
grocers' Shops" recalls the fact that
in olden times this trade played a
useful part in national defense. The
Grocers' company was commanded in
1857 to furnish 60 men for "the re-
sistance of such Ubiquitous attempts
as may be made by foreign enemies. D
Further demands of the same kind
were satisfied in successive years, and
in 1888 the company supplied 500 men
to resist the Spanish armada. Au-
thority was granted to press men into
the service, and apprentices and jour
neymen were called upon to leave the
counter for the battlefield. Sir John
Philpot, an early master of the Gro
GERS company, cleared the North sea
of a horde of Scottish pirates by
means of fleet equipped entirely at
his own cost.

ACCORDING to HoyIe.

The first author of books dealing
with card games was Edmund Hoyle,
who died in London, aged ninety
seven, In 1910. His treatise on whist,
piquet and other games of chance are
still authorities, and According to
Hoyle" has become a proverb. Hoyle
has been called the inventor of whist,
which is an error, although he was
the first to popularize the game and
place it on a scientific and exact foot
ing. Hoyle was a lawyer by profess
sion, but he derived a good income
from his books. For his treatise on
whist he received $4,000, and the work
was so popular that it ran through
five pirated editions. Hoyle gave in
structions in whist to parties of ladies'
and gentlemen, charging each five
dollars per lesson. For some years
he held an official court position in
Ireland which paid him $4,000 per
year. Hoyle's book on whist was
first published in 1743, and its circu-
lation since then has probably run
into the millions of copies.

FIND HIDDEN FLAWS IN STEEL
x-Rsys, II Has Been AscertaIned,
Have Commercial Importance
Not Hitherto Recognized.

X-rays promise to have busy use in
shops in the near future, for it has
lately been discovered that they WILL
under some conditions, detect hidden
flaws in steel and other metals, says
the Saturday Evening Post. An Amer
lean research laboratory has already
successfully applied them to this task,
and the investigators are confident
that, with little more study, practical
methods for daily service can be
worked out.
In these times, when steel enters so
much into ordinary living and a flaw
in piece of steel may cost many
lives and great damage, a flaw de-
tector is great need. For instance,
two years ago large number of rail-
road wrecks were blamed on faulty
rails, which had been made from steel
ingots that had flaws. Steel ingots al
ways have a flaw at the. top end; so
the end piece is discarded for this rea-
son.
The question always is as to the
length of the piece off the end which
should be discarded in order to make
sure that no flaws have been left in
the block of steel to be used. The re-
searchers are confident that the X-rays
will be able to answer this question.
In the experimental case a sheet of
steel half an inch thick was photo
graphed by X-rays. The rays come in
different kinds-hard and soft-and
each kind has its own preference as to
what material it will go through Ac-
cordingly rays were used that would
nearly go through half an inch of steel
but not quite.
The photographs of the steel sheet
showed that the X-rays did go through
at some spots, which indicated that
there we're flaws at those places. When
the steel was cut through at those
parts holes were found near the cen
ter-just as the X-rays had indicated

He snarled at the bullets that whis-

little ears back, he shook his black
muzzle in the very grin of death.
Sabron's horse was shot under him,
and then Pitchoune saw his master,
sprang upon him, and his feelings were
not hurt that no attention was paid
him, that not even his name was
called, and as Sabron struggled on,
Pitchoune followed. 1t was his day;

voice. Il love him! You must have

AS the marquise looked at the girls
face and saw her trembling lips and
her wide eyes, she renounced her am
billions for Julia Redmond. She re-
nounced them with a sigh, but she was
woman of the world, and more than
that, true woman. She remained for a
moment in silence, holding Julia's
hands.
She had followed the campaign of
her husbands cousin, a young man
with an Insignificant title whom she
relived again the arrival of the eve
ming papers; the dispatches, her hus-
bands news of his cousin. AS she
kissed Julia's cheeks a moisture
passed over her own eyes, which for
many years had shed no tears.

The girl drew a convulsive breath
and turned, and leaning both elbows
on the piano keys-perhaps in the
very notes whose music in the little
song had charmed Saoron-she burst
into tears. The marquise rose and
passed out of the room to send a man
with a dispatch to Tarascon.

Pitchoune. He had his day. 1t was a
glorious one, terrible one, a memoir
able one, and he played his little part
in it. He awoke at the gray dawn,
springing like a flash from the foot of
Sabron's bed, where he lay asleep, in
response to the sound of the reveille,
and Sabron sprang up after him.
Pitchoune in few moments was in
the center of real disorder. All he
knew was that he followed his master

Spring on the Farm.


Here are some marvels we saw
the other day. Early in the morning
myriads of stars shone in the heav-
ems, well worth seeing once in a while.
Then the stars paled, the dawn came
rosy in the east, the birds awoke and
began to sing. There was the robin,
the dove, the song sparrow and 9th
ers-truly heavenly choir.
Before the sun had quite peered
above the horizon fields the farmer
and his sons were astir. Spring is
here and there is much to do With
whistling and good cheer they donned
their clothes-and we're off to the
stables to care for the horses. Smoke
curled up from the kitchen chimney
meanwhile, and a goodly smell of
ham and eggs. Breakfast was a
CHEEKY meal, the happy housewife re-
lating how many new chicks she had
found, and sonny tells how many pals
of milk he got. Corn cakes, ham,
eggs, milk, coffee-surely that break
fast ought to stay a man until noon.
Then it was to the fields with teams
to work. The glory of the sunlight,
the feel of the soft, rich earth under
one as he plows or fits the landi
Meanwhile miracles are happening
all around. Buds swell on trees and
shrubs, and flowers burst into bloom.
Truly the farm is wonderland these
days, and fortunate is he who can
live and work thereon and find that
happiness so often denied the town
folk.-Breeder's Gazette.
