This should be a hint to girls who

the donors skill a tiny spray Of
orange blossom tied with silver cord
might decorate the top, or the initial
Of the bride could be placed there.

They Allay Thirst Quickly, but the Ef'

The reason why W. like e~ffervescent
drinks is that the slight singing or
pricking Of the palate that follows on
drinking liquids charged with carbonic
acid gas produces Immediately an in
creased 6ow of saliva and thus dimin-
ishes for the moment the sensation OF
thirst
But the relief they bring is only
temporary and is followed by a reac-
ton in which the thirst is actually In
creased. The salivary glands are no
more susceptible to perpetual stimula-
ton than any other. and after each
period of excitement one Of depression
supervenes. Young soldiers on route
marches quickly come to understand
this and to discover that the
water they drink the more thirsty they
get and that 1t Is best therefore, to
limit the quantity of liquid swallowed.
Moreover, the saliva contains matters

A historic TRIANGLE.

Hosbaye, In Belgium.
Describing the road from Brussels
TO Liege, which skirts the plains Of
Hesbaye, Baedeker quotes the old pro-
verb. "QuI passe dams lie Hesbains est
combattu iendemain"-"He who enters
the Hesbaye is Defeated the next day"
Such was the reputation Of the Hes
bains for strength aud bravery.
The ancient province OF Hesbaye IL
indicated on the maps rs a triangle
some ffty miles from its base to It's
apex, Liege. The river Mouse, from
Namur to Liege. forms It's southern
side; the railways from Llege through
Tirlemont and Louvain to Brussels It's
northern side. A line from Namur
north to Brussels is its base.
This triangle contains many famous
battlehelds. Besides Waterloo, there
is Neerwinden, where Marshal Luxem-
burg defeated the allies under William
II. Of England In 1903 and where a
century later the Austrians, under the
Prince Of Coburg, uncle Of the late
King Leopold of Belgium, defeated
the French, led by Dumouriez and
Louis Philippe.
Then there is Quatre Bras, where
Ney's division fought part Of the Brit
lsh army and It's German and Belgian
allies In 1915. There had been a battle
the day before at Sombreffe, and on
that June night the P%russians accom-
plished their unparalleled retreat from

THE GIFTS FOR MOTHER

The gladdest hour of Christmas day,
The time the hearts are lightest
An every care is chased away
An all the smiles are brightest,
Is when the family, young an old,
From dad to little brother,
with all the love that hearts can hold
Come bringing gifts to mother.
We keep her presents till the last
An then when she sits rocking,
An all the other gifts are passed,
We go an get her stocking.
We gather round her easy chair,
First one an then the other
Steps up an says: "Well, I declared
Here's something else for motherl"
An with each present goes a kiss,
An all Is still an quiet
When mother murmurs: What Is thiBf"
An hastens TO unite It.
Then everybody wildly cheers
An shouts for perfect gladness,
An mothers eyes are moist with tears.
But not the tears Of sadness.
Oh. here's a scene that gold can't buy.
Or stage in imitation,
The smiling face, the glistening y
OF loves own celebration.
And with each jolly Christmas day
We pray to know another
When we shall meet the self-same way
And bring our gifts to mother.

WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Warm, Soft Washes Sometimes Have
Effect Of Making Fowls Lazy
Feed SparlneIy In Morning.

Amateurs sometimes are puzzled to
know how much to feed when throw
ing grain in the litter and are prone
to overfeed, making it so easy for the
hens to fill their crops that they will
not work long. II a dry mash is kept
before the hens at all times. the
poultrykeeper may comfort himself
with the thought that his birds need
never 60 hungry even If they have
ifhculty in finding the grain they
need to satisfy themselves.
The use Ct warm, soft mashes some
times has the effect of making hens
lazy. II a heavy feeding Of mash is
given in the morning, the hens will
I'LL up on that and then stand around
for several hours. II the amount OF
mash is made so small that their hun
ger is not satisfied, no damage will
result.
A mash at the close of day is not
advisable. but 1t may be given an hour
or two before rt>.sting time and fol-
lowed with feeding of whole corn.
The corn will almost always be eaten,
in spite of the mash feed just con-
sumed, and the hens will go to roost
with full crops, the digestion Of the
two kinds of feed taking long time.
