 It can be safely said that the rugged

 T did not have the pleasure of hear ing Mrs. Pickett, but 1 have read her story of Gettysburg in a popular maga- zine, and I have only one criticism to make. It is this She failed to give to the Alabama, Mississipp0and Tennessee troops their due credit for being in the very front ranks on Picketts left, dress ing to the right on Armstead's brigade These troops-from Hills corps-assigned to Pickett's command from Longstreet's s corps bore a deadly enfiading fire on their left, yet moved steadily and crossed the dead lne-the rock wall (See Rebellion Records.)

The latest military toy, produced by the Women's Emergency corps (S, and 10 York Place, Baker street), is trench designed by the mother of one soldier and the wife of another from the de- scription of those actually'in use at tha front. Carved out of solid wooden brown mud, the toy trenches, with dug-outs and communication trenches, are filled with khaki-clad toy soldiers and de- tended by wire entanglements and piles of sandbags. This ingenious toy has been pronounced to be an accurate model of the real thing by soldiers from the firing line.

GOSSIP IN LONDON

From the London Daily Mirror.
 If the hotels did badly at the begin ming of the war they are making up fer it now The receipts of the half-dozeH best known hotels in London for the last few months are considerably in ex- cess of the revenue for the correspond ing period of last year. This is due to the large number of Americans who are over negotiating army contracts. and to the weekend arrival of officers, both from the front and their training quar- ters in the country.

Cause of PeIIagra Discovered

From Italy, where the first cases of pellagra were scientifically noted, and where the principal cause was declared to be the result of eating corn prod ucts, now comes the startling announce ment, that corn has nothing to do with the malady. but that drinking water has," said well informed man.
 Tn a translation made for the Lit erary Digest from an Italian publica- tion we learn that clay is the primary cause because rainwater, both at the surface and in the deep strata, reacts upon it to form silicic acid and alumi- mum hydroxid both of which, owing to the conditions in which hydrolysis oc- CUTS, may pass into the water in the collodial state. As is well known, how ever there is incoihpatibility between silica and colloidal alumina, so that they precipitate each other, and there re- silica. This is partly in very fine col lodial suspension, causing the persist : ent opalescence which is frequently ob- served in the water used by those af- flicted with pellagra.' The remedy seems to be injection of some alkaline sub- stance; preventive measures seem to point to treatment of drinking waters with limestone. Tri-soduim citrate a harmless alkaline substance gives ex- cellent results in curing"

Strong Financial Position

Henry Clews in his Saturday review says in part
 The most striking, also the most as- surirC. fact in the outlook is the re- markedly strong financial position of the United States. Our fiscal affairs are thor oughly mobilized upon a war basis. Near ly all the emergency currency issued in the form of Aldrich- -vreeland notes or clearing house certificates has been re- tired. Our banking system is exception ally strong: and the federal reserve sys- tem. with minor exceptions is working very satisfactorily. Our gold supply is simply enormous, reaching about s1 800, Co0.O0C. which is vastly more than neces- sary for our requirements. There is con sequently no need of our importing gold. although foreign exchange rates favor such an influx.
 "Our merchandise exports are upon an enormous scale, and promise to SO con- tinue for months to come. As imports arc dec,tnirg the trade balance in our fav.r IS steadily rising To some extent the void i;l imports is being filled by a return of securities; but much of the balance remains on this side in the form of foreign credits which are steadily growing in importance and volume.
