Of young bride on her wedding day

conceafing herself In one Of thoes N
cisnt carved chests Of large sixa. After
she had GOT in the lid closed. and she
found herself unable 10 raise Il again

was shut In. Search was made for her
In every quarter but the right one. and
great perpiexity ana dismay were eaus-

till years after. when chance led to the
opening Of the chest. that the body q
the young bride was discovered and
the mystery ef her disAppsarancs

The cat Is an excellent barometer.
When you see cat wetting its paw in
its mouth and then rubbing 1t energet-
ically over the upper part of It's ear
you may feel pretty certain that rain is
coming. This action is pussy's method
Of relieving the uncomfortable feeling
in its ears caused by the change in the
atmospheric pressure which precedes a
storm. If the unpleasant feeling in the
ear were due to foreign substance
then the cat would scratch the ear
with it's hind foot But when pussy
scrubs its ear with its saliva motstened
paw It is when rain is impending.

Golf In the Old DAYS.

Centuries back golf was a pastime
Of the royal family. though then usu-
ally played in Scotland. The Stuart
family was very fond Of the game.
and the first English club was estab-
lished Mt Blackheath In 1908 by James
I. His eldest son. Henry. frequently
played and on one occasion nearly
struck by accident his tutor with a
club, whereupon he coolly remarked.
Had I done so had but paid my
debts" Charles 1. was playing golf
when he received the news Of the Irish
rebellion. James. duke Of York, after.
ward James H., was another ardent
player. Golf is frequently mentioned
In ancient Scottish records and in the
fifteenth century was prohibited be-
cause It interfered with the practice of
archery. Strut considered 1t the most
ancient game at ball requiring a bat

The Dardanelles and the Hellespont

q mile wide. On one side IL Asia. and
on the other is Europe.

The pre- Christian incursions Of barba-

there.
Xerxes and Alexander ferried across
One determined to destroy the civfiiEa-

Crusadefs went back and forth over
this strait. The Roman empire Of the

at Adrianople.
By treaty and By consent and by her

the situation. The official statements
Of late have mentioned detached en-
gagements, in which some local sue
cesses have been claimed. Newspaper
dispatches from Petrograd are similarly
restricted. II appears probable, how
ever, that the Russians have sustained
at least temporary check Thisis In
dicated by the statement In the latest
official Petrograd report concerning tho
bad condition Of the roads, which him
ders military operations.
A Paris dispatch from Rome says the
belief Is general in the italian capital
that Austria will attack italy, should
that country's determination to enter
the war became evident. It Is added
that this possibility is viewed COM
placently on account Of the strong con.
centration of Italian troops along the
border.
England is expecting another raid by
German airships, following three at
tacks in rapid succession. The German
aerial attack yesterday on Amiens,
France. resulted in the killing Of seven
persons and wounding Of eight.
A report published by a Prussian
newspaper that Grand Duke Nicholas,
Russian commanders in chief, has been
shot in the abdomen by General Baron
Sievers, commander Of the Russian
Tenth army, which was defeated and
driven from East Prussia last Febru-
ary., The general is said to have COM
mitted suicide. There is no confirma-
tion of this report, Official or otherwise,
from any other source.
The official German statement of to-
day, evidently referring to yesterday 8
raid over England by German aero
plane, says shells were dropped on
Greenwich. in the metropolitan district
of London. Dispatches from London
yesterday said the aeroplane ap-
preached no nearer than thirty miles
from the city. Unofficial advicss from
Berlin are that considerable damage
was done by the zeppelins which raid
ed England twice this week and that
officers and men on British patrol boats
were killed or wounded.
The French Ministry Of Marine an
nounces further naval operations
against the Turkish forces which pro-
ceeded against Egypt. It is said a
French battleship shelled Turkish po-
sition near the Egyptian city Of FL
Arish, which is close to the border OF
Palestine.
There were no important engage
ments in France yesterday and in the
east operations are being delayed by
