One of the best-is that of “'l`wo Heroes." A sailor who ‘entered the Salvation Army Hall at Sheerness. Eng., gave his experi- ence as follows: . "I was on the _-~ (0110 Oi' ii\0 cruisers torpedocil in the North Sea). when she sank. I and another mcmlier oi' the crew, it Salvationist, had been swiinniing about in the water for two hours or niorc and were almost ex- liaiistod, when just as we were about to give up \vc saw a piece oi' spar. We made for it and took hold. liut. alas! it was not big enough to keep ns both afloat. We looked at each other. For a time one took hold while the other swam. and then changed over. “We kept this up for a hit, but it was evident we were getting weaker. Neither of us spoke for a while, and tlieu pi‘csi-.iitly the Salvationist said, “Mate. death nieiins lift! to H10. YOU are not converted. You hold on to the spar and , save yourselt`. l`ll ict go.

The measure also creates an advisory committee. Tho new under-secretary of war, Joseph Tliicrry, who is called "min ister of supplies," speaking of thc bill frankly admitted that there hai been waste and disorganlzation in purchasing army supplies, but hc assured the chamber that re~organ ization was well under way. An attempt by the socialists tc inject a rider creating a government monopoly of grain, was defeated by a. vote of 364 to 128. JAPAN'S CURRENCY The Japanese currency system is very simple and la based upon a gold basis .The unit of value is a yen. This equals fifty cents in gold, according to our United States value. One yen is divided into 100 sen. Each of the lat~ ter is worth just one-half of an Ameri can cent. The Japanese sen is the equivalent of ten rin, and the smallest Japanese coin consists of a five-rii; piece, the equivalent of one-quarter oi an American penny. The currency medium is composed of paper notes, silver, nickel and copper. The .laps have their paper money in one, tive, ten, yen notes and upward The silver money comes in ten, twen ty and fifty sen pieces. The smallest nickel piece is valued at five sen. Ther come the copper coins. These are valued at two sen, one sen, and iifive rin. This is thc substance ofthe entire currency system in Japan when you step into a. money changer‘s to pro cure the coin of the realm. But you do not always obtain the equivalent in values for your American currency. These various seaport towns swarm with Chinese money changers These Mongolian financiers deduct P rebate of from one to two per cent for every $10 in American money exchang ed. When you travel in the interior lo calities of Japan, away from the heat cn track of tourist traffic, you will br compelled to pay even a higher rate of exchange, as the Jap merchants re- fuse to accept foreign coin in exchangi for their wares unless they are easily accessible to some nearby seaport town. The Jap nickel or five sen piece,will buy live or six times as much for aJap in his own country as the same valui ol’ currency would buy for an)Aineri can home in the United States. Thi simplicity of the native currency sys tem goes hand in hand with thc fru gality ami the wise economics of these quaint. avtive -little people.-Buffalo Times. TOBACCO CULTURE. Drought-Tho only moans of pro- tecting the tobacco plantation from the effects of drought is to cultivate and hoo it as often as possible. This work, which la commenced as soon as the transplanted plants have taken root., should be continued until the leaf growth prevents further working of the soil. The lioclngs should bc more shallow and farther away from thc plants each time, lest t_hc roots might be injured. 'l‘opping.- Top tho plants curly: in case of doubt, leave an extra leaf or two on each plant, for any faults in topping may bc corrected when the first building is being. 00119- in B normal season a somewhat thinner leaf will thus be 0btained._(which, with few cxceptionswis.-theitype of leaf more and more in demand); in rainy seasons. the production of too thick a leaf is avoided. Biuliling- Do the work of budding systematically, commencing as soon as the buds are sufilciently developed (5 or 6 inches long). Avoid entering the plantation without good reason after the topping has been done and the hocing finished. Cutworms.- Fight the cutworms as soon as damage to the leaves ap- pears. The 5 per cant. solution of 'arsenate of lead, applied as a spray, isused in time, gives good iresults.

OTTAWA, Aug. 8.-The revelry of political speculation, as a result oi’ the Manitoba provincial elections, is draw- ing general attention to the fact that in a short time the present Parliament will enter upon its last year of legal Wills- Four sessions generally con- stitute tlie working life oi’ a Canadian Pariiameiit. but the present, the twelfth of its line, has already held five and will hold a sixth. lt will he the last unless there is an exteiislon of the usual parliamentary lorni as has been suggested by those who oppose the holding ofa general election be- fore the end of the war. Such a course was advocated by the Opposition last session, while at the same time everything possible was apparently done to provoke the Gov- ernment to an election, which the Liberal leaders fondly hoped would prove unpopular at the time. The coming session of Pnrlianient may see the Opposition given an opportunity to show the genuinencss of its support of the policy of extension of the term for the Government. Even if it. de- sired, such an extension would not force its adoption against ‘the will of Sir Wilfrid. " V A factor not generally taken into consideration by those who oppose an election while the war is on is the fact that conditions imniediately fol- lowing the war would be almost un- euually unfavourable. The Dominion will require almost a year to bring its 100,000 or 200,000 nicn home from Europe, pruvide i`or their future and readjiist the financial and Iiiiliiistrial life of the coiiniry to the new condi- tions certain to prevail. llcvelopnients conncctcil with the visit of Sir ltobert llorden to the Old Country have also xnndc it evident that alter the war there will be almost a complete change in the l)oininion's councils. Altogether the two years succeeding the declara- tion of peace will be it period oi' illi- ancial, sociological nuil ilidustrial re- organisation and as such not the time for it general election, if a ,general election is as disturbing an iiifliience to the country as has been claimed. Any extension, therefore, will have to be for a reasonable length of time of ofllce. Whatever action is taken the next. session of parliament will ilccide the issue.
