FOUND SOLACE IN CAPTIVITY ' Englishmen Interned by Napoleon Passed the Time In Character istic Pleasures. An importnnf center of ac tion in the present war, Verdun, was a fa miliar name, to Englishmen 100 years njjo. In it were interned the most important of those who were taught on the continent when the peace of Amiens came unexpectedly to an end in 1803. From then until "Waterloo the French town had a British colony numhering about 900, who, with dinners and dances, steeploehasing and cock fighting, re produced as well as they could the conditions of life, at home. There were five exclusive English clubs, and even a pack of harriers. They gambled for very high stakes. It was estimated that during his htay at Verdun Lord Blavney lost at cards something like $250,000 a year. That nobleman exhibited to the last the national insouciance. When peace permitted his return from exile he traveled leisurely to Boulogne, and then suddenly decided to go back o Verdun to purchase a property there, so as. he said, to be able to bathe and fish in the Mouse and have a pleas ant retreat whenever he Mt inclined to visit France.

Suitable drinking water is of vital ' importance to an army, and this is only one of a multitude of problems that must be studied carefully by I those who conduct a successful cam paign. The wafer supply of a camp is a matter of great importance, the Sci entific American says. Only running water is used. In the German army i the upstream water is ued for drink ing purposes and the downstream water for watering horses and for bathing. Suitable signs notify the men which water is safe to drink and which may be used for bathing. In shallow streams basing are dug or email dams built so as to form a res ervoir of ample dimensions. Step ping stones aye provided to keep tho water clean, as well as board protec tion to prevent the banks from crum bling. Basins are dug for watering horses; troughs are provided only in case of necessity, and are then propped on posts and filled by means of pumps. Pipes may be driven if water lies at a reasonable depth in other words, not more than twenty feet. Depending upon the size, these pipes will deliver from four to twenty-two gallons per minute. If water lies very near the surface a hole is dug and a cask, the bottom of which lias been knocked out, is placed in the hole to form a basin. If the water lies at a greater depth the ba sin may be formed of box sections, driven in one on top of the other. SHORT STORY WITH A MORAL That It Pays to Read Advertisements Is Proved by This Happening In New York. The wise man reads the advertise ments in his favorite newspaper as closely as he does the news. One of these men of wisdom is Samuel Gib bons of this city. Because Mr. Gi! bons is a close reader of Herald ad vertisements four American heirs to a Canadian estate valued at half a million dollars have been found. The story of this romance in real life was told recently. In its search for the heirs to the estate of Mrs. Martha E. Campbell of Preseott, Ont., the Trust and Guaranty Com pany, Ltd., of Toronto placed an ad vertisement in the personal column of the Herald. Mr. Gibbons read it. William T. Doherty, one of the long sought heirs, was known to Mr. Gib bons and was soon put in possession of the news that meant so much to him, his sister and his two brothers. "It pays to advertise'.' and to read advertisements! Xew York Herald. CITY VS. COUNTRY.

On July 20th, a road-making demonstration will be held at Bedford, to which you are invi ted. According to letters to this office from A. B, Ross, a piece of ; bad road, the like of which it is . seldom one's privilege to see, ' will be quickly made dver into a good road by the use of a newly 1 invented machine. Mr. Ross in sists that the cost per mile by the new way will not be more than the average tax per mile levied each year, and all done while you watch. Mr. Ross fur-! ther states "the cheapest things ' in the world are advice and criti- cism; they cost nothing and usu ally that is what they are worth. ; The supervisor gets a lot of that cheap sort of contribution. "Now is the chance for the voter and the supervisor alike to get accurate knowledge; to see how to construct roads that will stand up and how to do it for the least money. If you come your advice to the supervisor will no longer be inexperienced or cheap it will be based on what you have seen and understood." We would like to see the work of this wonderful machine de monstrated over some of Fulton county's gullies. Please show us Mr. Ross. Workmen to Patrol Roads. Beginning August 1st, one hundred and ninety men will be placed at work as patrolmen on the State Highways to constant ly keep them in repair. These men will be distributed through out forty-six counties. Each man will be given a piece of road to keep in repairs, the length of his section depends on the character of the road, six miles being the limit Each man will be equipped with shovels, pick, pushbrush, wheelbarrow, &c. Piles of fine ly broken stones and barrels of asphalt will be placed along the road at short intervals with which to make repairs as soon as discovered. By a system of su perintendency the men will be required to "make good" or be dismissed. Under the present system it is costing over $500,000 a year to keep up the roads; but by the patrol system it is figured that $120,000 will cover the cost a big saving to the State, to say nothing of the doing away with the annoyance caused travelers by their having to jolt over bad places for months until somebody finds time to repair them. "A stitch in time saves nine" is true of the work of keeping up roads. Church Notices. The Ladies Aid Society of the Siloam M.
