The following poem composed on the occasion of the visit of the 2nd Canadian Regiment to Liverpool on December 10th, 1900, has been handed in by one of our readers and we take pleasure in reproducing it as it is a poem of much merit. Boys from the bounds of the Empire, ons of our Wales over sea, Here is our love to your country, Here is our God-speed to ye ! Dear to the heart of your Mother, Blest of your brothers in need— Ye are the pride of the Nation, Ye are the flower of her seed ! Sons of our Empire marching out to war, With our brave Colonials from the distant shore, We're going to fight and conquer, as we've done before, For the love of our Country and Queen. Hark to the love of our London, Voiced in the cheers of -the street ! Pride’s in the eyes that are watching Joy’s in the quickened heart beat. All for the boys who are marching Gaily for Empire and Queen, Ready to’die for our honour, Sturdy and fearless of mein ! \ So on your valorous mission Go and good fortune be yours ! Cherish the love that you foster, It is a love that endures. Go and all glory attend you, Strike for the rights of the free— Here is our love to your: country, Hete is our God-speed to ye. Extra Verse. There are some we'll be leaving be- es hind us, ; Who will sleep on that far distant . track, . 7 ‘And eyes will be dim here with weep- 1” ing—— : For the men who can hever come 7 . back, . When the Roll-call of Life will be a ‘ sounding, = And the tramp of these men will be e heard, j Well done, good and, faithful soldier, 7 Will be our Great Volonel’s word. ‘ - THE “ANGELS” * INVENTOR OF be Mr. Arthur Macheon, whose story about the angels at Mons has just appeared in book form, must be one : of the most perplexed mén in the country. Having invented a legend, he has found it crystalize into a wid+ ely accepted fact. Only a few days ago Mr. Machen told me that he had iene --n---Deen-talking toa man who claimed to . have first-hand evidence of the Mons angels. ‘‘I assured him,’’ he said, invention of my .own. He was very _ polite, but it was quite evident that he did not believe me.’’ ON THE FIELD OF HONOR. The publishers of the Family Her- ald and Weckly Star, Montreal, are making a strong bid for that beauti- ful picture, full of pathos, entitled “On the Field of Honor.”’ It is as- sumed the publishers of the Family Herald have in mind using it as a presentation plate. If that is so i there is a great trtat in store for readers of the Family Herald and Weekly Star this autumn. In past years the Family Herald of Montreal as been noted not only for the won- derftil excellence of that journal but for many beautiful pictures it has presented to its readers. The Family Herald has a name for succeeding in -anything it undertakes, and we feel sure that if it is humanly possible to secure ‘‘On the Field of Honor’ that the publishers will succeed in getting it. “On the Field of Honor"’ is at- . tracting widespread attention in Hu- rope.

September and October have become known to firemen as the months when chimneys and flues cause *the most trouble. : *The following suggestions of a prac- tical nature, if faithfully followed, will do much to prevent.damage to property and loss of life. In setting up your stove, place a metal stove board on the wood floor under the stove, and extending at least twelve inches in front of the ashpit door. Protect all walls and partitions within two _ feet of any stove with a metal shield, leaving an air space between the shield and the wall. Leave no kindling or other wood in the oven over night. Do not hang clothes too near the stove or stovepipes. See that the lengths of stovepipes are well fitted together, free from rust holes and parted seams, wired firmly and fitted perfectly into the chimney. Stovepipes passing through partitions, walls, floors, attics and roofs are dangerous at best. Where these must pass through partitions, walls or floors always use a large, ventilated double thimble. You should examine the stovepipes in the attic. They may come apart or rust. Fluff and spider webs are likely to gather on and around them, to be set on fire when you least expect it. ground up, and never rest On wooden supports.

Soft brick and poor mortar are often responsible for defects in the chimney Use a good quality of brick and cem- ent mortar. Chimney walls should be at least eight inches thick, the fluc of ample size and lined. with fire clay or terra cotta. Never stuff up the flue holes with rags or paper, nor cover them with anything but a metal stock. Chimneys should be cleaned frequently. Protect all wood work above and around the furnace boilers, if within three feet, with a metal shield, also all wood work near furnace pipes. It is best to rivet the lengths of pipe together to prevent disjointing. The Pipe. should fit’ perfectly into the chimney.
