Uosedene, Ont., July 18.â€" (Speci- al).â€" Mr. Samuel J.

Many great discoveries have been made by accident nnd things better than gold mines have been found in this wa.v, for exumi)le when even the accidental discovery that colTee is the real causes of one's sickness [)roves of most tremendous value because it locates the cause and the i)erson has then a chance to get well.

Matildo Kschensky, Uu.ssia's favorite ballet (lancer, has left St. Petersbm-g, throwing up her iirolitable engage- ments, and has volunteered and gone to the seat of war as a Ked Cross nurse. Not onl.y this, but she is touring the countr.y on tho wa.v. dancing to houses i>acUed to their cn- padty, and giving the entire pro- ceeds of cver.v perfornuince to tho benefit of the Hetl Cross Society. Another popular favoiMte. the sing- er I.abunskaia. is proving her patri- otism. .She is one of the- prettiest singers of chansonettes in Russia. and also is making a striking totu- of her native coiuitry. which begun at Perm, n little we.st of the tJral Mountains.
