talions In the front were generally on duty two nights out of three, and later every alternate night. The life of the rank and file was thus spent: The men were mustered carrying great coat and blanket, just before dusk, and marced through a sea of mud into the trenches. These were cut up by deep holes from which bolders and stones had been taken, and into these holes on dark nights the men often fell. When the soldier reached his position he had to sit with his back to the parapet and his feet drawn close up under his body to allow others to pass along th» 4-foot wide trench. If he was not detailed for a work- ing party, nor for a picket in the trenches or in advance of them, he might lie down, resting as best he could in a wet ditch. * * * * The relief of the sentries could snatch a dog's sleep four hours out of six, hoping their comrades would, by remain- ing on the alert, give them time to jump up ere the enemy was on them; but for the two hours chat each man was out near the enemy, the strain on the nervous sys- tem would have been great evento a robust, well-fed man. The sentries had necessarily to stand absolutely still, silent and watchful, and as the severity of the winter became more and more marked, numbers of men whose frames were weak- ened by want of adequate nutritious food were found inthe morning frost-bitten and unable to move.

“One battalion which landed nearly 900 strong early in November was actually in the trenches six nights ont of saven, and then became so reduced, not only in num- bers, but also in the men’s bodily strength, that it was unable for some time to go there again. * * * When the soldier got back to camp, he used to lie often in a puddle which chilled his bones, under a worn-out tent, through which the rain beat. The less robust would fall asleep completely worn out, to awake shivering, and in many cases to be carried toe a hos pital tent, scarcely more comfortable than the tent which they had left, and thence toa grave in two or three days. Those who were stronger went out to collect roots of brushwood, or vines, and roasted the green coffee ration in the tin of the can- teen, afterward, as already described, pounding it in a fragment of shell with a stone, ere they oiJed it for use. Others un- equal to his laborious process, would drink the rum, and, eating a piece of biscuit, lie down againin the greatcoat and blanket which they had brought, often wet through, from the trenches.

**In the afternoon the soldier was sent on ‘fatigue’ duty from five to seven miles, according to the position of his camp, usually to Balaklava, to bring up rations. On his return he had again to gather fuel, in order to boil the sait beef or sait pork in his mess tin, which did not hold water enough to abstract the sait. A portion of the meat, therefore, only was consumed, and it was necessary from time to time to tell off men to bury the quantities thrown away. Salt pork, which was issued two days out of seven, was frequently eaten by the men inits raw state from the difficult- ies of finding fuel to cook it.

**Shortly before dark the soldier either marched back to the trenches or lay down to sleep if he was not on picket in front of the cainp. Many men, disitiking to report themselves sick, were carried back from the trenches i the morning, and died a few hours afterward. ‘Those who reported sick were taken to the hospital, in many cases merely a bell tent; here the men lay, ofven in mud, on the ground, and in many instances their diet was only salt meat and biscuit. They were, moreover, so crowded together that the doctor could scarcely pass between the ‘patients.’ As we had no ambulances, and the French could not lend us mule-litter transport, many were necessarily carried on cavalry horses, which, slipping on the hill outside of Balaklava, often caused further injury or the death of the patient.

‘*On more than one occasion, as I was returning from Balaklava, f met a party of gick, mainly frost bitten, riding cavalry horses, the troopers leading them and holding the men on; but the ground was often covered with snow and very slippery, and on the hill above Kadikoi I once saw every man dashed to the ground from the horses slipping and falling on the hillside. Later the sick who were unable to hold on were fastened into the saddles, and some died on the journey.’’—Sir Evelyn Wood's Recollections.

illuminating Gas From Wood,

A successful method of making illum- inating gas from sawdust is now being employed. In Canada several large ium- ber mills are being lighted by gas made by this process. The sawdust is charged in retorts which are heatea by a wood fire, the gas from the retorts passing into a series of coils and thence into the purifi- ers, Which are similar to those used for coal gas. Lime is the principa! purifying agent employed. When the gas passes out of the retorts it has an odor much less disagreeable than that of ordinary lighting gas, and resembling somewhat that of the smoke from a fire of green wood or leaves, For a small plant turning out, say, 540 cubic meters of gas daily about two tons of sawdust will be used in twenty-four hours, and a man anda boy furnish all the labor needed. ‘The gas in an ordinary burner gives an illumination of about 18 candle power. ‘The best quality comes from resinous woods. A quantity of 100 kilograms of sawdust leaves a residue of 20 kilograms of charcoal.

A Provident Woman,

An aged spinster living in Milford, Conn., has carefully stowed away in her attic the timber for a coffin, which she has instructed her relatives to use when she dies. The woman is nearly 70 years old, but gives evidence of living toa ripe old age. <A peculiar fact is that she planted a black walnut tree many years ago, when she was a girl, with the sole purpose of using its timber for Ker coffin. When it was a full-grown tree she hired a farmer to cut it down, and, taking the body toa sawmill, she had the boards sawed out, giving full instructions as to thickness, width,etc. After the work was co.npleted, she told her nearest neighbor all about the matter. A local undertaker has been en- gaged to make the coffin at her Jecease.— Hartford Times.

The Important Part,

A young typewriter had just been hired by a prominent lawyer. She had never done regular work before, and was some- what nervous.

The lawyer settled himself back in his chair and began dictating from mind a brief, He had pegged away for about five minutes, when the girl stopped, with a horrified look on her face.

‘*What’s the matter?’ asked the law-

er.

‘“‘Would you mind saying that all over again?’ the girl asked, with eyes full of tears.

‘*Why?’

‘“*I forgot to put any paper on the ma chine !’’—Syracuse Post.

“To My Life’s Eid.’

Old age brings many aches and pains which must be jooked after if healti is to be maintained. This depends more than anything else on the kidneys, “I am 85 years old,” writes A. Duftin, farmer, Aults- ville, Ont., “and have had kidney trouble five years. My son advised Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver pills, and I obtained immediate relief. I shall use them to my life’s end.” You will find Chase’s Pills equally effect-

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey npon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows:

First —To imitete the size, shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pilis them by court. :

Second—To put them up to appear very nearly the same and to be offered at the sam-~ price.

Thiri—To hook on the word “kidney” ID Daning cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

How much such list as these contribu- ted to the ‘sweep, the reader can judze for himself. Bat we wish the character of those lists to be specially noted in view of the contention of the Grits that the lists should be used for Dominion elec

to introduce that sort of “reform” that the Grits are eternally howling egainst the Dominion franchise act.
