The spectacle of an English Baptist chaplain blessing a young French soldier in the open market-place of old Harfleur is surely one of the strangest episodes of the war. Writing home to iiis congregation at West Norwood (England), Captain the Rev. D. J. Hiley says:—"l was accosted by a French boy who had reached military age, and had'put on his uniform for the first time. Taking me for an English Roman Catholic priest, he said, in broken English, and with tears streaming from his eyes: 'I am going to the front, Monsieur. Will you bless me?' I said, 'Yes,' and as he knelt down in the street I put my hands on his head and prayed fervently for liiin. The street was full of soldiers, who all uncovered their heads, and even the tramcar stopped—for we were right in the middle of the track—while I commended him to God. The little soldier, smiling through his tears, went away comforted, and I felt what a high privilege had been mine that day."

The New York correspondent of the Central News states tbat an interesting, and even dramatic, Avar story is going the rounds at the Engineers' Club, ill New York, concerning the recent execution of two German conspirators in Canada as the sequel to a conversation overheard in the restaurant of the Flatiron Building in New York. The story, the accuracy of which ,is vouched for by a prominent member of the club, relates how some time ago two Germans seated m the Flatiron Restaurant were earnestly discussing ways and means for destroying the Welland Canal, in Canada. Seated at the next tabic was a New York engineer who had just returned from Canada, where he liad been at work on the Welland Canal. Hearing tlie Germans mention the canal, ha pricked up his ears, and, although his knowledge of German was limited, he was able to grasp the main outlines of the plot. Immediately afterwards he called up the superintendent of the canal on the telephone, and told him all he had heard. Within a week the engineer received a telegram asking him to go to Canada at once, and was taken to a prison, where he identified the very two men whose conversation he had overheard in the restaurant. They had been captured close to the canal with dynamite in their possession. Their execution as German spies followed soon afterwards. , THERE IS ONLY ONE SANDER EXTRACT, and that is why the people insist on getting it, and why they reject the many inferior substitutes and the cheap and frequently harmful "just as good."
