A Costly Waterloo Medal.

Mr.. Steward has included In WAR
Medals and Their History special
account of the famous Waterloo medal
of Pistrucci, which originated from the
desire Of George Nv. In 1919 to COM
memorate the victory by the issue Of a
specially fine medal. Flaxman design
ed it, but Pistrucci. the chief engraver
at the royal mint, refused to cut the
dies and was himself commissioned to
prepare a modelled design, which. be-
ing approved, he was instructed to cut
the dies for a fee of 1880. The dies
were not finished until 1S49. and Of the
men who were to receive the medal in
gold the Duke of Wellington was the
only survivor when the first impress
sion was taken.

To Improve Cattle in RsnaaI.

The decadence of cattle in the prov
ince of Bengal forms the subject of
an interesting monograph recently
published by the director of agricui-
ture for the province. The cause of
their decadence he attributes partly
to climatic conditions, partly to the
lack of grazing grounds. and largely
to the needless breeding policy of the
Bengal cattle owner. His chief rec
concentrations are the provision OF
good bulls and the establishment of
superior milk-yielding cows, draft
bullocks and bulls. The report is IL
lustrated by a most interesting collec-
ton of photographs descriptive Of the
various species of cattle ranging from
the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal
from the record bull bison, measuring
IS hands 21s inches at the shoulder
and 10 hands 8 inches at the hump.
down to the humble lineaments of the
Nadia calf which at sixteen months
measured only 36 inches in height be-
hind the hump:

gayety was reflected in the household.
They were united in achievement.
Quiet smiles were their reward to
each other and sometimes a burst of
wonder as when Gerry found some old
bottles and with the aid of a bit of
string cut them into serviceable mugs.
Margarita was happy. Her cup was
full. All the dreams Of her girlhood
were fulfilled in Gerry. A silent and
strange lover, but a man-such man
as she had dreamed of but never seen.
To herself she sang the old songs he
should have sung to her and then
laughed as he nodded mild approval.
One evening he sat on a bench on
the veranda, fitting a handle into
dipper made of a cocoauut-shell. Mar
garita sat on the steps at his feet.
She leaned back further and further
until she sank against his knees. He
stopped over her. She threw up her
| arms around his neck, locked her
hands and drew him down. He kissed
her lips and sighed.
"Ah, do not sigh" she walled.
Laugh! Laugh but once"
Gerry did not grudge the months of
toll in the ditch. AS he worked he
thought and planned. This ditch was
the very real foundation for the attain
ment of his vision. Deep and strong
and carefully graded it must be be-
fore he cleared the sand barrier TO the
rivers surge. The ditch was slow OF
growth but there was something about
it which held his faith. 1t was rugged
and elemental, 1t was the ugly source
of a coming resurrection.
When it was all but done he took
Margarita and showed her his handi-
work. He pointed out the little sluice-
ways, each with its primitive gate,
heavy log hinged on a thole-pin with
a prop to hold it up and q stone to
weight it when down. On the Fazenda
side We're innumerable little trenches
that stretched down into the valley.
But not until he led her to the cleft
in the river gorge and showed her that
half an hours work on the sand bar
rier would let the river into the great
ailCu Suc Anu lhOh
she caught his arm and burst into vio-
lent protest and pleading. mo, no."
she cried, you shall not do it. You
shall not let in the river The river is
terrible You must not play with it.
1t does not understand. You think it
will do as you wish but it will not. oh,
if you must, please, please play with
1t below the rapids. There it is kinder.
1t lets one bathe. It lets one wash
clothes" .&.
Gerry got over his astonishment and
laughed. Then he soothed her. AL
ready the simpler phrases Of her
tongue came easily from his lips. He
told her that she was foolish and
little coward. She must watch and
see how tame the river would be.
The next morning Gerry was up
early He was excited. From this day
the ditch, the parched slope, the val
ley would know thirst no more. With
the long dry season even the green
bottoms had begun to wilt. He called
Bonifacio and they started off to their
work.
Under direction Bonifacio was dig
ging a great hole just at the back of
the sand-bank. Gerry measured its
capacity and finally called the old
