Good news spreads rapidly, and

loosen any corn so it lifts out with

A quarter of an ounce costs very
little at any store which handles
drugs. but this is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet Of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply Just a few drops on the

relieved, and soon the corn or callUs
is SO shrireled that it lifts out with
out pain, 1t is sticky substance,
which dries when applied, and ncvcr

"Diarlst'' Of the Westminster Ga

lately Of the Americans In France and
the impression made by them upon the
British there. "Without giving offense

them has gone far beyond the limits

reached, and that they have become
strong favorites. But there Is one
point in particular which seems o

to me on the subject. They all quite
expected to find the Americans fine

Half in u. S. Ships

With the consent of the Navy depart
ment, the Office of Vice Admiral Gleaves,
commander of the cruiser and transport
force, made public figures showing exactly
the proportionate share of troops conveyed
to France in American vessels. Of the en-
tire army of s,079, $50 men taken over, the
statistics show, 46A per cent were carried
in American ships, 4812 in British and the
balance in French and Italian vessels.
Of the total strength of the naval escort
guarding all these conveys, the United
States furnished S2s4 per cent. Great Brit
ain LAT per cent and France 81 per cent.
1t was felt that these official figures
should be made public owing to the dis
crepancies in the statements of many pub
lie speakers as to the relative share taken BY
the different naval forces in enabling Amer
lean troops to reach the battle line in suf-
fcient force to turn the tide against Ger
many.-Ex.

The Hudson's Bay Co.

On May 2, 1870, Charles IL. issued a
royal charter incorporating Prince Rupert,
the Duke of ALTERNATE, the Earl of Crav-
en-, Lord Arlington, Lord Ashley and
others. under the name of ''The Governor
and Company of Merchants Adventures
Trading into Hudson's Bay The cad
venturers'" were to have perpetual success
sion, and were granted fishing, mining and
land proprietary rights in countries, coasts,
and confines of the seas, bays, lakes, rivers
and sounds in the vicinity of Hudson s
Straits "that are not already actually pos
sessed by or granted to any of our subjects
or possessed by the subjects of any other
christian Princes or States" Subsequent
legislation confirmed them in the posses
sion of territory Into which they shall
find entrance or passage by water or land
out of the territories, limits and places
aforesaid" The charter was broad enough
to enable these truly styled Adventures
to spread themselves over an immense ter
ritory, extending beyond the limits of what
is now the Dominion of Canada, especially
in the West. The great company managed
this tremendous heritage. officially known
as Rupert's Land, with consummate skill.
1t maintained British Rights against inroads
of all kinds with general success.
The landed rights of the company, with
certain reservations, were bought by the
Dominion of Canada at the time of the first
administration of Sir John A. Macdonald,
the Company being paid 100000 pounds,
and retaining the land around Its trading
posts and one-twentieth of the land in the
fertile belt. Some of this land has been
sold to settlers, but considerable is still
held by the company. The company also
surrendered its trading monopoly.-Sel.

Bungalows in India

For the small home no type of building
makes wider appeal than the bungalow.
The word has been widely used to describe
the productions of the ''home builder and
the real estate OPERATOR" buildings so apall-
ing that we are apt to forget that the bun
galow is properly very unusual and in
teresting type of structure and one percu-
llarly illustrative of the close relation be-
tween climate and architecture, writes
Austin D. Jenkins, in the House Beautiful.
bungalow" is the Hindostani word for
house, Anglicized to indicate the typical
European dwelling in India, usually one
storied house with veranda and projecting
roof. The chief purpose of the Indian
dwelling is to keep out the heat and the
tropical rains.
The typical native bungalow and its Eng
lish derivative are in arrangement much
alike. The walls are of heavy masonry.
Both doors and windows are very large,
and open on to verandas which keep out
the direct rays of the sun and protect the in
ner rooms from the glare of tropical mid
day. The rooms are arranged in suites,
and every possible cross draft is made the
most of. Sometimes the roof is of tile, but
more frequently of moize thatch, woven on
bamboo frame, and of great thickness.
The eyes project far beyond the wall line.

Deep-Sea Fisheries

Fishes occur in the greatest depths of the
ocean, but are always very much changed
in form and structure, and quite unlike
shallow water fish.
The depth of the ocean ranges from
1000 fms. (fathoms), to 5000 fms.
80, 900 feet) Is is said that the Atlantic
Ocean is deepest near the West Indies,
a, 666 fms; but in the South Pacific, there
are three places over 5000 fms. in depth,
and in the Northwest Pacific, four places,
of which one near Japan, is 5,348 FMS
the greatest depth known.
Sea worms are probably the animals
which live in greater depths than any other
marine creatures; but between 800 and 400
kinds of fish have been described from the
deep-sea, living in from 100 fms. to 1900
fms (about four miles).
Deep-sea fishes include representatives of
the skate, dogfsh or small shark, cod,
smelt, skulpin, goosefsh or angler, and
even some members of the salmon family.
Deep-sea fishes are often quite black in COL
or, though some are red and others violet,
and some silvery. They may possess large
eyes. or be almost blind, and often have
filaments or feeling organs, while the
mouth, jaws and teeth, and stomach, are
often enlarged, and one or two deep sea
fishes can so enlarge their digestive capac-
ity as to swallow fish as big as themselves.
Many of them are luminous, or give
light. a Doctor Schmidt, of Petrograd.
described a Japanese shark foot long, of
which he made drawing BY the light
which it gave out, for all its undersurface
was brightly luminous. Usually the lamp
organs, or luminous spots, are like silvery
disks, on the sides or the head; but sir John
Murry claimed that luminous fish are not
found deeper than 400 fms. They exude
much slime or mucous, aud the bones are
very light and brittle, and as they are SUBJ
jected to enormous pressure, no less than
six tons on each square inch, at great
depths. they often expand like balloon
when brought to the surface of the sea, and
many even burst. Most of them are good
to eat, but watery without favor. In
shape, they are often most grotesque and
have been described by many authorities as
a group of bizarre fishes.
The famous British warship, the "Chal
lenger," made the first discoveries respect
ing these deep-sea fishes, but the United
States has added greatly to our knowledg e
by the deep-sea Investigations Of the Fish
cry Bureaus steamer, the "Albatross,
which has made great number of captures
of fish at greater depths than mile.-Sel.

French Afraid of Ice Cream

Ice cream is new dish to the inhabi.
tants OF France.
Some of the big city jewellers may have
had passing acquaintance with it, but the
their first ice cream made in the American
army camps.
Many of the permanent American camps
in the service of supplies have made ice
cream regular feature, the regimental
canteens turning out the frozen delicacy for
several hundred men.
French peasant children has been productive
of much amusement to the American
troops. The youngsters think it is hot.
One of the men of an engineer regiment
took mess kit full of ice cream to French
farmhouse. One of the small boys took a
big teaspoonful. A look of panied amaze
ment caiue over his face, and, emptying
his mouth of the frozen cream, he ran
screaming to the protection of his mothers
The other children who had watched
rather horror-stricken the fate of the first be-
came convinced that the ice cream was
some sort of white fire and they would have
nothing to do with it. The mother had to
eat virtually all of the cream in order to in
duce them that is was cold rather than hot
and when not taken too fast was good to
eat. Eventually. the children ate the last
of the dish. But they partook of it ginger
ly, evidently greatly mysti6ed that any
thing which first seemed hot then cold
could be good TO eat.
But in time the kids got to liking ice
cream and they became as great a nuisance
around the camps asking for ice cream as
they had been before in seeking chewing
gum.-Sel.

Will you smile and say cts yours old

Or will you say "The job is minel

Would your conscience be easy, too,

Would you feel you earned the fat one
