DR. CHARLES E. BENTLEY, WHO TAYLOR IN 1906 FOR WAGING FIGHT AGAINST UNITED STA MAN, THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIM FROM THE LECTURE PIGGING MEETING FOR ME. TROT COL. FRANK L. HAMILTON PASS MONEY ON THAT OCCASION. It will be recalled that the first part of July, 1913, through the crazyness or lighteheadness of our highly esteemed friend the Hon. Edward F. Dunne, that the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., was selected as the head boss of the Illinois State Commission—that being full of gall and brass and a hogall in all things, without consulting anyone he established the headquarters of the Illinois State Commission in the Institutional Church and he forced its members to select his highly accomplished daughter, Miss Annabel Carey, as assistant secretary of the commission, she receiving fifty to seventy-five dollars per month for practically doing nothing for, be it remembered, that while she was drawing a salary from the State of Illinois, that most of the time she was engaged in pursuing her studies at the Chicago University; the very fact that the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., was instilling dishonesty into the bright mind of his lovely daughter long before she has bloomed into full womanhood, in connection with her duties as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission should forever cause him to hang his head in everlasting shame—that is if he ever was possessed with the least bit of shame. Not being content with simply securing a place on the state payroll for his daughter, but every time he turned around for the State Commission he raked in some easy money for himself aside from drawing forty to fifty dollars per month rent from it for its headquarters in the Institutional Church; that was not all for Governor Edward F. Dunne permitted him to pull in a large bundle of easy money from the state printing, at the same time making it possible for his son, Davis Madison Carey, to work in the county treasurer's office at five dollars per day; then for good measure Mayor Carter H. Harrison was unable to see any other Colored man in Chicago, aside from his friend and pal the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D. and about one year ago he placed him on the city payroll, he drawing down one hundred and ten dollars per month, which enabled him to pull in more easy money right and left. For more than one year we honestly endeavored to make it perfectly plain to Governor Dunne, who does not seem to possess a very strong mind of his own, and the thick or dull headed members of the State Commission, that they were making a grave mistake by permitting the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., to run or boss everything in connection with the commission high-handed or to suit himself. The members of the State Commission hated to be guided by our sound advice, finally they fell for it and removed the headquarters from the Institutional Church and at last they forced Miss Annabel Carey to step down and out as assistant secretary of the Illinois State Commission. Mayor Carter H. Harrison eased out from under the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. by permitting him to resign from his city hall job—the last straw which broke the camel's back between them was that the present political pastor of the Institutional Church recently wanted his Hon. the Mayor to select him as one of the members of the Board of Education, but Mayor Harrison very gruffly requested him to beat it as he had no further use for him and his fast and loose political preaching. The echoes of the rapid-fire meetings of William Monroe Trotter of Boston, Mass., in this city from Thursday evening, December 31st, to Thursday evening, January 7th, would if they were set forth in full make mighty interesting reading. On Sunday, January 3rd, he made a regular begging or donation tour of most of the south side churches, for a little bird had informed him before he arrived in the city from Boston, you know that the great race lady having charge of him would not permit him CHICAGO, JANUARY 16, 1915 WILLIAM to do any talking in public anywhere unless he was first assured that he would receive some money for his talking. and as he was a long ways from home he and his lady manager seemed mad or real hungry for money so a collection was taken up for him after he had Sunday, January 3rd, was red letter day for him for he began with an address at Walters Zion A. M. E. church, 38th and Dearborn street, receiving ten dollars for his short talk, from there he wended his way to the Grace Presbyterian Church Sunday school where he received another small lift in the way of some money, from there he headed for the Frederick Douglass Center and more money came his way for doing a little talking; later on, on that Sunday afternoon he addressed the Negro Fellowship League at 3005 S. State street, and it is said that its able and eloquent president permitted ten dollars to blow into his pockets; Sunday evening he was in evidence at Quinn chapel and after a few remarks more money rolled into his spacious pockets. On Monday evening he was down to do some talking for money at the Provident Baptist Church on the west side but owing to the sudden death of its pastor, Rev. S. L. M. Francis, the good Lord cheated him out of the money which he was to receive from that church. Thursday evening he made his last stand at Bethel church but as the people were not aware of the fact that they would be compelled to pay 25 cents in order to enter the church to hear him speak on his worn out subject—his late interview with President Woodrow Wilson on "segregation"—his last meeting was very poorly attended as not over forty or fifty people were in sight when he started in to unwind his long story at so much per word and it is claimed that only five dollars was turned over to him from the proceeds of the meeting at Bethel church. On New Year's afternoon prior to all the meetings and money collections just mentioned, Mr. Trotter attended the banquet at Olivet Baptist Church and as he was a long ways from home he and his lady manager seemed mad or real hungry for money so a collection was taken up for him after he had talked for about one hour. Right at this point we must pause to state, that in our humble opinion Editor Trotter and his friends are making a great mistake by attempting to commercialize the White House incident, that no one can ever become a great leader of the Afro-American race nor of any race of people who places himself in the position or attitude of a mendicant. It is also our humble opinion that the poorest kind of judgment was displayed on the part of those who attempted to have Mr. Trotter to address the Irish Fellowship Club at its regular meeting at the La Salle Hotel, for the members of that club which is a social organization and nothing else, are not deeply interested in the tilt between Mr. Trotter and President Wilson, and failing in his attempt to address that club and letting his failure to do so out to the world through the columns of the Chicago Tribune, Sunday, January 3rd, resulted in no good whatever to the cause which he claims to represent, neither did it reflect any credit upon the short-sighted persons who were responsible for his ill-advised actions in that direction, nor of the Afro-American race. On Saturday evening Mr. Trotter was the distinguished guest of the Appomattox Club and Dr. Charles E. Bentley, the eminent dentist, who severely condemned the writer in 1906 for waging the terrific and the memorable warfare against United States Senator Benjamin E. Tillman, the South Carolina anarchist and at the end of our onslaught on him; he disappeared forever from the lecture platform in this country, presided at the begging meeting for him and Col. Frank I. Hamilton who is one of the head officers of the Magro Fellowship League and chairman of the executive Opportunity Knocks on Your Door but Once.

If it be merely a game there is no need thoughtlessiy, therefore rodely, to in- terrupt it. A lttle politeness’ one to another, a little observance of the wishes of others, will put aside sulles Jooks and bad tempers. ‘We know ourselves how disagreeable it is to have the table shaken when we write, to have a door left open or loud- ly banged, to have some one crossing ‘Detween us and the light or to be con- stantly interrupted. Our children can- ‘not like this more than we do. Yet we need not lose our tempers. A smiling Protest, a caressing request, a little Joke over the annoyance, will prevent its repetition better than @ sharp re- bake. When children are taught to notice these trifles they learn to avoid them A child is pleased when you apologize to him for unintentional awkwardness. The little seeds sink in his mind. To- morrow he will avoid that small of- fense. Rough movements, unpolished speech, detract from rather than In- crease a child's pleasure. And it is these small trifies that make up the comfort of our homes. Saving the Eves Guamined, If a child screws up its eyes wher looking at a distant object or, when Teading 8 book, bas to bend closely over it a defect in vision should be suspected. Sometimes the child com- plains of headaches or eye ache, the former usually referring to the fore head. There may be at times a slight squint These are also suspicious signs. Eye strain also gives rise to in- flammation of the Mds—hence styes— and if this condition is constantly re- curring the sight should be properly tested. ‘Unskilled advice in the matter of the eyesight should be avoided, for perma- nent injury is easily effected if wrong measures are taken. No child should ever be allowed to wear giasses until @ doctor has examined the eyes and has recommended the use of such. ‘To prevent eye strain the position in which a child does its home work—in Tegard to the lighting of the room— should always be borne io mind. Any glare on the book or paper should be avoided, and the light should fall obliquely from behind. Dintessstic SManduement. If you want to break a young girl of going about with friends, Soda tan mabceaing Wey, reading books which she bas no bust ness to open, or doing any other of the silly things in which girls delight, you can always manage it best by draw- ing her attention away to other mat- ters. Those ‘undesirable friends are probably her only refuge from dull- ness. Let her go out a little more. Show her more of life and she'll drop them very soon. That common, ugly frock will never be worn again after you have given her a really pretty new one in good style. She would never read those disagrees- ble books if you took the trouble to provide her with amusing, exciting tales of a decent kind. But the good books must be exciting and interesting, not merely improv- ing. The nice dress wust be dainty and charming, not plain and service- able. Your way must look more at tractive than her own. Bruchine the Teeth Regularly. If the child is taught early to brush its teeth it becomes a matter of habit. which it carries through life, and the result is a fairly perfect set. If the Grst teeth are brushed ané kept tn good condition and a dentist visited at least once in six months there is Httle danger of the second teeth being infected or crooked. It sometimes happens that a Orsi tooth remains in the gum too Jong that is, after the second tooth shows signs of coming through. This condi. tion sbouid not be allowed to exist, ws the first tooth is Hable to irritate gum, which will become sore and to. fected, and pus will be the result. If the Grst tooth does not fall out naturally on the appearance of the second the child should be taken to s Gentist and the offending tooth re moved. Crowded and irregular teeth are of. ten the result of first teeth remaining too long in the gum. Buvine Children’s Garments. In buying goods for children the mother sbould invest only in those ms- terials which are very closely woven. It is not so much the weight of the goods as the weave.

Hew to Do Over an Old One to the Best Advantage. If you wish to enamel an fron bed- stead first rub the marred paint smooth with fine sandpaper. Do this gently, 80 as not to roughen what paint re mains upon the iron. If you can get it all off it will be better, for then you will bave a uniform surface. This done, go all over the bedstead witb white enamel paint, which fs sold at paint shops and by some druggists Use a broad brush and sweep it smoothly and evenly over the iron un- til all is covered. Let the first coat get perfectly dry before applying the second. Three coats may be necessary to make the whole of the dark iron white. The ad: vantage of a white enamel apart from the pleasing effect is that it may be re newed when it becomes defaced and that it will be the better for each re- newal. Workmanship Counts. ‘The best designs in smart jewelry ‘are remarkable even more for exqut sitely delicate workmanship than for the mere size and quality of the gems. Quite inexpensive stones, such as ame thysts, peridots, aquamarines and rock crystals, which are extremely fashion: able, are set, with as much care as if they were diamonds or pearis, emer- ‘lds or rubles “worth a king’s ransom.” ‘The newest earrings and pendants are light and fine as possible, little swinging chains weighted with a sol ftaire stone or a cluster of tiny gems. | SMART FASHIONS. ‘The pointed corsage is promised for the near fotare.

COLORED HANDKERCHIEFS. Dainty and Attractive Ones Are Per- missible This Season. For a long time women viewed the colored handkerebief with aversion, considering that good taste demanded plain white. Of course, the white handkerchief may be used, but the colored handkerchiefs grow more and more dainty and attractive, and beyon¢ a doubt a handkerchief to correspond is now one of the prettiest and most usual accompaniments of a smart tol et. Tt is even acknowledged that vivid borders are allowable when the cos tume demands {t, for if the handker chief has any color at all it must cor respond with the gown. ‘The monogram or initial is always embroidered in color to match the bor der, and the woman who likes fine work is embroidering and bemming by hand dainty bits of linen for very ac ceptable gifts for her friends. Cleaning a Rusted Sink. Busted ironware or sinks can easily be cleaned by smearing with fat or grease, then covering with quicklime which should be left om for a few hours.

Many women are gullty of these when talking. They are unbecoming habits and are the means of developing many ugly lines and wrinkles that prematurely age one. ‘Time, worry and habit are three things that line the forehead, with fur- rows and bring @ sagging condition of the muscles, especially affecting the muscles under the chin. When these muscles lose their elasticity the result is the unsightly double chin. ‘The reason that furrows (wrinkles) make their appearance on the counte- nance of an aged person is due to the fact that the fat underlying the skin becomes absorbed. Consequently the cuticle loosens and becomes wrinkled. ‘To remedy this condition gently mas- ‘sage these parts with good skin food; then before retiring adjust a forehead band which bas been anointed with skin food. This should be worn each night: Sagging cheek muscles may be strengthened and contracted with mas- sage and an astringent lotion and, as has been said before, tightly bound up overnight with a band—either muslin or rubber. In regard to premature wrinkles caused by worry or habits, they should not only be treated with massage, a3 previously directed, but one should Jearn to control the muscles to obtain a calm and pleasant expression, which {s a great aid to beauty. A Graceful Figure. Quite often the figure of a pretty girl is spoilt by stooping shoulders, a contracted chest or a careless, slouch- ing gait. Yet by devoting a little spare time every day to some physical exer- cises these evils may be overcome. Many and various are the forms of calisthenics. The daily use of dumb- bells will strengthen all the muscles of the arms and chest and at the same time promote a free circulation of the blood. ‘Then there is the expander. This is formed of a strip of the very strong- est kind of elastic, with loops or han- dies at each end to hold. It can easily be made at home. It should be held in both hands and be slowly expanded and passed over the head. Thig tends to develop the chest and strengthen the back. Exercises of this sort should be per- formed regularly every day, and they must be done steadily, slowly and firmly. Dress for any form of muscular er- ercise should be light, flexible and wool- len. No corsets should be worn, and the bodice and anderclothing must be large enough to allow perfect freedom of the arms. ‘The Handa In Cold Weather. To preserve the hands in good con- dition in cold weather they should, whenever possible, be washed in tepid water, and if this is softened by teaspoonful of borax so much the bet: ter. Be sure to use a soap of good quali. ty, and when drying the bands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately. If the bands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and a little cold cream ot if mutton tallow is rub- bed into them thoroughly before going to bed at night there will be little dan- ger of the skin becoming chapped or rough. ‘Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after ‘washing or perhaps the water was icy cold and very hard or used too hot Both extremes are bad for the skin. Senta Sar the ends. An excellent tonic astringent and bleach for the hands 1s made from one ounce of strained honey, one ounce of lemon juice and one ounce of co- logne. Blend thoroughly and rub into the hands at night, then draw oo a pair of large kid gloves, having the palms sist for ventilation. Wash off in tepid water in the morning. ‘Where a woman does ber own bouse- work or assists with 'it to the extent of coming in contact with grime and grease, hot and cold water. the lemoa rub after washing the bands will tend to keep them in good condition. ‘With rubber gioves to wear when housework is done it is possible to shield the hands from strong soap. va- rying temperatures of water and direct contact with dirt which coarsens the texture of the skin.

From every quarter of the globe they hail. Perhaps the most interesting of the many queer peoples is a group of Es- kimos from Greenland. They com- prise father and mother and two chil- dren—a boy and a girl. They were born north of the arctic circle, where sum- mer is very short and the winter long and severe. Inured to the frigid weather of their native land, the Es- kimos in New York laugh at our mild winters. They enjoy the snow when it comes, and the coldest day has no terrors for them. In their Greenland home they live in winter in igloos, or huts built of stones and earth. In or- Ger to enter their dwellings they are obliged to crowd through a long tun- nel dug under the snow. The tunnel is necessary to keep out the cold winds. At the entrance to the tunnel a block ‘of snow is used for a door, and at the inner end is bung a curtain of sealskin. ‘The but, which contains but gne room, {is lighted and heated by a »®ne lamp containing seal or whale ol! and pro- vided with a wick of moss. Some- times when they are traveling the Es- kimos build a temporary house of blocks of snow. This is said to be fairly comfortable for an Eskimo, but Boys and girls of this latitude would find it a pretty chilly place. The name of the boy in the picture is Emootuk, and he is about twelve years of age. “Advice Gratis,” a Game. To those who are willing to give and recelve advice without asking pay- ment hand a slip of paper and ask them to write down a few words of advice, then to fold the paper secure- ly and deliver it to the ¢ollector, who ‘will call for tt presently. ‘The papers having been thoroughly sbuflled in a hat or bowl, care being used not to unroll any, the players are requested each to draw one. Before opening it, however, the leader will di- rect him to give bis opinion as to whether the advice be is about to re- cetve is good or unnecessary or has other merit or demerit. He will then open the paper and read it aloud. The advice will probably be more remarkable for its spicy personal char- acter than its high moral tone. ‘Such gems of counsel as “Try to rise earlier than 9 o'clock,” “Give up smok- ing cheap cigars,” “Use less rouge.” “Stop firting in street cars,” “Be more select in your language” and the like will be suitable for the occasion. ‘The Formers Problem. A farmer is moving and carries with him a for, a turkey and a basket of corn. He comes to a river, and the boat will carry only the farmer and one of his charges. Now, if be leaves the for and turkey alone the fox will eat the turkey, and if he leaves the turkey and the corn the turkey will eat the com. How can he safely take them all across the river?

TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher Entered as Second-Class Matter Aug. 18, 1906, at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 8, 1879. HEALTH NOTES The following brief resume of results accomplished in the Department's fight for better conditions in the moving picture theatres of Chicago is of interest as indicating a practical solution of one of the most serious of the city's problems affecting public health and safety. January 1st, 1913, there were 630 theatres in Chicago but only 45 complied with the law as far as ventilation is concerned. January 1st, 1914, there were 609 theatres and 160 of them complied with the law. The hands of the Department during most of this period had been tied by litigation. January 1st, 1915, total number of theatres, 616, number in operation though not either complying or installing alterations to make them comply, 17. The next step is to get a sufficient force to insure that the systems are honestly operated. We can consider the theatre fight as won and take up the two biggest problems of all, the places where the people work and the conditions under which they are transported to and from their work. And at all events the fight for plenty of fresh air for the people will be pushed with all the resources the Department has at its command. It is a fight too that every good citizen should be glad to aid, in every way in his power. The workshop canvass recently completed shows a total of 547 cigar shops, 310 of which are licensed and the balance having no employees, are not subject to license. There are 8305 millinery and tailoring establishments, 4297 of which are licensed. Of these there are 1418 shops having only one employee; 725 having two employees; 351 shops having between 20 and 50 employees; 13 having between 500 and 1000 and 4 having over 1000 employees. Such classes of establishments as the latter depend mainly upon natural ventilation in their work rooms, which is more or less unsatisfactory by reason of drafts when windows are open. When the Ventilation Division has been increased in size, sufficient to enable it to reach out for such establishments, there is no doubt that changes will be secured in their ventilation systems that will materially improve working conditions of those employed therein. The year 1914, from the health standpoint, was a better year for Chicago than was 1913. Let us all pull together to make the year 1915 one of the best in Chicago's health history. THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE At a call meeting of the Chicago Branch of the National Independent Equal Rights League held Tuesday night January 12th, at 3005 State St., the bill making marriage between White and Colored citizens a felony in the District of Columbia, which was passed by the National House of Representatives on Monday, was declared to be an insult to and official stigma upon the Colored people of the country, depriving Colored women of the protection all other women have, a disastrous blow without any necessity whatever. The Colored people of the entire country were urged to protest and petition the Senate to defeat the monstrous wrong. The organization went on record with a resolution of protest stating: House Bill penalizing mixed marriages voices race hatred and places stigma upon Colored citizens. National Legislation discriminating against no race or nationality but the Negro, constitutes blight of blood by federal law, making the Negro a social and moral outcast, places premium upon illicit miscognition and destroys safeguard of Negro womanhood. Please defend it. National Independent Equal Rights League, Chicago Branch, George W. Hill, President. Ida B. Wells-Barrett, Vice President, Bernard W. Fitz, Treasurer, National Sentiment Branch Hamilton, Chairman Executive Committee Edward H. Wright, Beauregard F. Moseley, Louis B. Anderson, Oscar De Priest, Adelbert H. Roberts, Rev. H. J. Callis Chaplain. Telegrams were sent to Senators Sherman and Lewis, with the above signatures, protesting against the bill as putting Colored persons on a par with the degenerate, diseased and idiotic, al so telegraphs of thanks for opposing the bill, to Messrs. Madden, Mann, Thompson, Copley. Appeals were made to oppose bill for separate cars for District of Columbia when it comes up. It was voted to send a representative of League to Washington, D. C. THE CHRISTIAN GOD AND WAR The first war was not fought by man, but by angels in heaven (Rev. xii: 7-9) If God could not keep peace in heaven how can he be expected to keep peace on earth? It is useless to pray to God for peace because the Christian deity is a war god. You don't believe it. Then you have not read your bible. The bible says that "the Lord is a man of war (Ex. xv-3). The Lord of hosts is his name" (Is. li-15), and he said, Cursed is he that keepeth back his sword from blood" (Jer. xlviii-10), and his son Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword (Math. x-34). A falling body increases its speed 32 1-6 feet every second. At this rate of increase just think how rapidly a stone thrown from the sky would be traveling when it would strike the earth. The Lord on one occasion took advantage of this law of acceleration and cast down great stones from heaven and killed more people with them than the children of Israel slew with the sword (Josh. x-11). How many wars the Lord has fought is not known, because the book giving an account of them has been lost, but we know there was such a book because the Bible says so. The book was called "The Wars of the Lord" (Num. xxi-14). Jesus may have been the prince of peace, but the many wars fought in his name, such as the Crusades, etc., have greatly increased the "price of peace." The prayers asking for peace will be answered, For Jesus himself said, "Whatsoever ye ask in my name it shall be given." Of course Jesus did not say all the prayers would be answered immediately. Why God does not stop the war is not so great a question as why he allowed it to begin in the first place. Some theologians seem to think that this war is the devil's work, but the bible says, "Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not done it" (Amos iii-6)! During a battle in the days of Judah the Lord helped the Jews by driving out the inhabitants of the mountain; but the bible states that the Lord could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron (Judges i-19). If God could not drive out ancient iron chariots what can he do against the modern submarine, dirigibles, the Krupp guns, etc? Warren C. Banes In the People's Press, Chicago, Jan. 9, 1915. S. A. T.

Come THE SHIPPY, HUNT, DORMAN INTERNATIONAL DETECTIVE AGENCY. Among the many reliable or substantial detective agencies in this city; none of them have forged to the front any faster or more rapidly; than the Shippy, Hunt, Dorman International Detective Agency, with extensive headquarters, on the 13th floor, of the City Hall Square Building, 127-139 N. Clark Street; Phone Randolph 3599, Auto 41-046. The late George M. Shippy, former Chief of Police of Chicago, Nicholas Hunt, and Charles C. Dorman, ex-Inspectors of Police, were the founders of the International Detective Agency and it has continued to do an increasing and flourishing business right along. They run down and catch violators of the law in all parts of the world. For it is a well-known fact, that Inspector Hunt, who was in charge of the Hyde Park Police Department, was one of the best thief catchers in this country and before severing his connection with the Police Department, he was transferred by the late Mayor Fred A. Busee to the Central Station in the downtown district to rid or to free it from the control of its criminal element, which task Inspector Hunt performed to the Queen's taste. Inspector Hunt, who is a prince among men at all times, is one of our best friends, and as the head or the moving spirit of his International Detective Agency, he is honest and reliable and since September 1, 1899, down to the present time, he has been a constant subscriber and a steadfast supporter of this paper.

Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 12—Just before the fight at Reno between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries, July 4th 1910, Walter Campbell, r Negro barber in this town, made a bet with the white proprietor of the largest undertaking establishment here that if Jeffries won the undertaker was to get free shaves as long as they both lived, but if Johnson won, the barber was to be given at his death the most expensive funeral the undertaker could provide. Campbell died recently and the undertaker conscientiously carried out his obligation. Campbell's body was enclosed in the most elaborate casket in the city, and the finest hearse and carriages in the city took the funeral cortege to the cemetery. The loser was in personal charge of all the arrangements. BETHEL LITERARY CLUB HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING Last Sunday was a great day at the Bethel Literary Club.

"What is whisky?" a number of states have decided that there will be no whisky.-Washington Star. The United States has in actual gold metal almost as much as any other two nations together. That illustrates the wisdom of not going to war-Philadelphia Ledger. Is it a sign of the times that the Princeton students vote 900 to 199 against compulsory week day chapel, or is it a proof that boy nature never changes?-New York Sun. Some day there will be a fool proof crook proof voting machine that will make voting an agreeable pastime and give the result as soon as the last ballot is cast-Chicago News. Echoes of the War. European maxim. "There's got enough for all!"—Washington Post. He is a wise ambassador who keeps his trunks packed these days—Chicago News. Turkey is making the mistake of thinking it can beat the other fellow game.—Detroit Free Press. The people who had an idea that the European war, begun after breakfast, was going to end before dinner have long since revised their opinion—Philadelphia Press. When the war began it was in Europe, but was not European. Today it threatens to develop into the nearest threat to a world war of which history has any record.—San Francisco Chronicle. Facts From France. Firing at its highest speed a French battery would take thirteen minutes to cover every square yard within range. The stores of Paris that are still doing business, even the big department stores, are reported now to be closed for an hour at noon because there are not enough clerks left for one to relieve another at lunch time. French candle makers have been detected saving wax by leaving three small holes around the wick lengthwise of the candles. Thin portions of wax at top and bottom cover the cheat. Melted wax dills the holes as the candle burns. Industrial Items. About one-third of Great Britain's telegraphers are women. Over 2,000 women belong to New York printing trade unions. There are about one and three-quarter millions of children between the ages of ten and fifteen engaged in earning their living in the United States. Before the war nearly all the copra produced in the Philippines went to France. That market being closed now local vegetable oil factories are being built to dispose of the cocoanuts. Tree Branches. There are 500 recognized species of trees in the United States. The oak begins to rot at the heart of the age of about 300 years. A count of the annual rings of a California redwood tree indicated that it began its career in 550 A. D. The yellow poplar or mulp tree, the largest broadleaf tree in America, has been known to reach nearly 200 feet in height and ten feet in diameter.

Some idea of the fighting power of a Dreadnought may be gathered from the fact that the extreme range of its guns is twenty-five miles, while they can be very effective at a range of twelve miles. They are most deadly, however, at a range of between five or six miles. The twelve inch gun of a Dreadnought is fifty feet long and if set up on end would be higher than many a country church tower. The cost of each gun is about £10,000, while each time it is fired £100 vanishes into the air. As a protection against the guns of the enemy a Dreadnought is covered with armor costing £120 per ton, and as something like 4,800 tons are used in covering the vessel this means an expenditure of close upon £000,000. Bollers and machinery at £325,000, motor and steamboats at £8,000, torpedo tubes at £3,000 each and torpedoes at £500 each, and £50,000 for searchlights and electrical fittings are other items in the bill which go to make a Dreadnought the costliest vessel afloat—Pearson's. Bees and the Kilt In his book, "Forty-one Years In India," Lord Roberts tells the following amusing story: "A curious incident happened at the Alambagh. I was employed inside the enclosure when all at once I heard a noise and commotion some little distance off. Getting on to the roof, I looked over the plain and saw our troops flying in every direction. There was no firing, no enemy in sight, but evidently something was wrong; so I mounted my horse and rode to the scene of confusion, where I found that the ignominious flight of our troops was caused by infurated bees, which had been disturbed by an officer of the Ninth lancers thoughtlessly thrusting a lance into their nest. There were no serious consequences, but the highlanders were heard to remark on the unsuitability of their dress for an encounter with an enemy of that description." A Tinker Inspired Wagner. A tinker has established himself opposite our house and stunned my ears all day long with his incessant hammering. In my disgust at never being able to find a detached house protect ed from every kind of noise I was on the point of deciding to give up composing altogether until the time when this indispensable condition should be fulfilled. But it was precisely my rage over the tinker that, in a moment of agitation, gave me the theme for Sleegtried's furious outburst against the bungling Mime. I played over the childishly quarrelsome Polter theme in G minor to my sister, furiously singing the words at the same time, which made us all laugh so much that I decided to make one more effort. This resulted in my writing down a good part of the first scene by the time Listz arrived. Oct. 13 (1856).—Richard Wagner in His Autobiography. Recreation and Mental Disease The problem of fatigue and its relation to efficiency is becoming more and more appreciated in our industrial institutions, so much so, indeed, that we may truthfully say that, in the United States at least, the art of work is being mastered to a degree little short of perfection. Not so much can be said with reference to our mastery of the art of play. Let us not forget that the art of play presents an important problem which requires serious effort for its solution. Relaxation from the stress and tension of modern American city life means much for our future physical, mental and moral health and efficiency. This is a tired nation, perhaps the most tired nation on earth—New York Medical Journal. British Life Guards. England's famous life guards were organized just after the restoration. They were recruited from the old cavaliers who fought for Prince Charles Stuart, and in 1661 they were formed into three troops, then known as the King's Own, the Duke of York's and the Duke of Albemarle's. At that time it was always demanded that one troop should be raised in Scotland in honor of the house of Stuart—London Tit-Bits. One Way to Use a Politics "Did that onion poulice I sent you do you any good?" "Did me a heap of good." "These external applications are often efficacious." "I applied it internally. The onions smelled so good that I ate it."—Kansas City Journal. Horse' Sense. The phrase "horse sense" was discussed in class, and the teacher told one of the boys to write a sentence containing that phrase. The boy lapped for ten minutes and produced this, "My father didn't lock the barn door, and he ain't seen the horse once." Peter the Great What Alfred the Great is to early Britain that Peter the Great, in his crude way, is to Russia. If ever a race of people found adequate expression in one person that race was the Slavic race in their great ear—Century Magazine. Hardy Anta Ants can stand extremes of heat or cold. Forty-eight hours' exposure to frost will not kill them, and one sort has been observed to build its nest in the skins in a hardshell-like form. Hope springs exciting on triumphant A Billion Dollars. "I wonder if we realize when we talk of a billion dollars what an enormous sum of money it means. We all know how rapidly an expert counter of coins will manipulate them. You can scarcely follow the motion of his fingers as he shifts the coins from one pile to another and counts them. The treasury experts will count 4,000 silver dollars in an hour and keep it up all day long, but that is their limit. "Working eight hours a day, then, an expert counter of coins will count 82,000 silver dollars in a day, but how long will it take him at that rate to count a million dollars? Thirty-one days. But that is only the beginning of the measurements of great figures, for if this same man were to go on counting silver dollars at the same rate of speed for ten years he would find that he had counted 100,000,000 of them and that to count a billion dollars would require 102 years of steady work at the rate of eight hours a day during every working day of every one of the 102 years." — O. P. Austin, Former Chief of the Bureau of Statistics. At Night In Africa. Stewart Edward White, writing in the American Magazine on Lion adventures, comments as follows on the ravages of wild animals in Africa after nightfall: "We spent the short evening each in his own fashion, I in my canvas chair smoking, the men squatted on their heels around their tiny fires eating quantities of meat and corn meal. Outside our little dome of light the night businesses of the veldt went forward. Only the most formidable or the most insignificant creatures raised their voices except in alarm or warning. Lions roared; insects hummed and chirped. Out there in the dark was a different world from that in which we moved so freely during the daylight hours—a dangerous, tragic world. Next day we would find evidences of the fact. I have seen killed by lions the remains of every sort of creature except buffalo and rhinoceros. Lions are said occasionally to kill even buffalo, though rarely." His Idea of the Best Soap. The Flemish peasant, writes a correspondent, has no more aversion to water than the English peasant. I happen to know a good deal about both of them. There is, naturally, a kinship between the Flemish and Dutch and Dutch are universally regarded as among the most cleanly of peoples, at any rate where domestic affairs are concerned. The amount of scrubbing and house washing that goes on in the villages of Flanders and the rest of Belgium would be regarded as silly by English villagers. And, from the health point of view, those who literally earn their bread by the sweat of their brows don't need so much of the bathtub as those who consider themselves more respectable. As a Dorset laborer once remarked to me, "T best soap, measter, be sweat!"—London Spectator. When the Kilt Was Barred. At one time the kilt was forbidden. It is interesting to recall the words of the oath that was administered at Fort William and elsewhere in the Highlands in 1747:8. "I, —, do swear, as I shall answer to God at the great day of judgment, that I have not, nor shall have, in my possession any gun, sword, pistol or any arm whatsoever, and that I never use tartan, plaid or any part of the Highland garb, and if I do so may I be cursed in my undertakings, family and property—may I never see my wife and children, father, mother or relations—may I be killed in battle as a coward and lie without Christian burial in a strange land, far from the graves of my forefathers and kindred; may all this come across me if I break my oath."—London Chronicle. Points on Carving The expert carver should choose a chair which brings the arms just a few inches above the meat to be carved and make the movements easy and natural. The platter should be large enough to hold the entire bird or joint, placed near enough to the carver to bring the center of the knife blade over the fowl when the carver's arms are extended and slightly bent at the elbows. The carving knife should have a uniform edge moderately sharp and slightly rough or ragged. The raw edge is better for cutting meat than a smooth edge—Washington Star. Elizabeth Fry. Elizabeth Fry's great work for prison reform was all done after her marriage. It was in 1818 that she paid her first and memorable visit to Newgate prison and in 1817 formed the Association For the Improvement of Female Prisoners in Newgate, which attracted such widespread interest. Her efforts were not confined to Great Britain, many continental prisons being the better for her labor—London Mail. Animals and Cold. Of domestic animals sheep come first as cold resisters. Sheep have lived for weeks buried in snow. When the great blizzard of March, 1891, swept Devonshire sheep were dug out alive from the enormous drifts twenty-four days later. Goats and pigs take respectively second and third places. A Mother's Pride Pride, said Charles Dickens, is one of the seven deadly sins, but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues—faith and hope. There is no being tallest for keeping the mind steady on its best and saving it from all risk of crankiness than business—so cool. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JANUARY 16, 1915. Wireless In the Amazon Region. In the Juamara region of the Amazon the natives use a crude system of wireless telegraphy, which, it is claimed, has been in operation for thousands of years. The transmitter found by an explorer was a hollow trunk of a tree suspended from a horizontal pole stretched between two stumps. Inside the transmitter had been arranged much like a violin, and it was explained that when the instrument was struck smartly with a small rubber hammer a vibration was created that carried for miles over the hills. The receiver is very similar to the transmitter, except that it is placed on a hardwood platform, the base of the hollow tree trunk being grounded on the platform. When the message is struck in the neighboring village, sometimes thirty miles away, this receiver catches the vibrations, causing a jerky, singing sound. The sound system, it is said, can be read by the members of the tribe, and in this way news of victories and other happenings are told throughout the countryside—Argonaut. Washing Day In Sicily. The Sicilians have the reputation of not washing themselves overfrequently, but if they are remiss in this respect they more than make up for it by washing their garments-washing, in fact, being a perennial occupation among the women. The songs of the women folk as they scrub the clothes of their husbands and children outside the doors of their homes, if living in a city, or in some brook or running stream, if living in the country, are a noticeable feature of lower class Sicilian life. The long spikes on the prickly pear leaves and aloe plants make splendid natural pegs on which to dry the clothes, and in all the rural districts you will see them thus utilized, but if they do not happen to be sufficiently handy the clothes are often stretched out upon the mountain side to dry. The occupation and recreation of most of the poorer women may be summed up in three words—washing and gossip.—Wide World Magazine. The Star Alcyone The size of the star Alcyone and its distance from the sun are both unknown and, so far as can now be seen, must remain unknown. It has no parallax large enough to be measured by the most accurate modern micrometrical methods. That is, take a large telescope with you, go to Alcyone, turn, look back this way, then the entire diameter of the orbit of the earth around the sun, a huge ellipse, 185,765,000 miles in diameter, if a bright line in space so that it could be seen, would appear to be so small that the telemicrometer could not measure it. Not knowing the distance, the size cannot be known. But, judging from its light when compared with that of other suns whose distances are fairly well known, it must be colossal—many times larger than our medium sized star, the sun—New York American. Art Criticism. It is related that almost the last work Sir Edwin Landseer was engaged on was a life sized picture of Nell Gwynn passing through an archway on a white palfrey. This picture, in which the horse alone was finished, was bought by one of the Rothschild family and given to Sir John Millais to complete. One morning a celebrated art critic called on the painter and was much impressed by this work. "Ah, to be sure," he said, going up close and examining a deerbound in the foreground of the picture; "how easily one can recognize Landseer's dogs! Wonderful, isn't it?" "Yes; it is wonderful!" said Sir John, lighting his pipe. "I finished painting that dog yesterday morning and have done the whole of it myself." German Army Shoes Leather used for German army shoes is the result of many tests. It is rather dry compared with American vegetable tanned leather. However, it is made dry so that the oxidizing oils and fats will not rot the leather fiber during the many years that it may be held in storage. Every soldier when he gets his army shoes also gets a can of shoe dressing, with which he dresses his shoes. This keeps them pliable and water resisting. The boots are crimped. They have only two seams. They are practically water tight. The thread used for stitching them is hand waxed. The absence of blackings of any nature tends to save the life of the boot. It rejects the sun's rays too.-Hide and Leather. Argentina Natural Bridge In Argentina there is a natural bridge that is one of the most wonderful in the world. It spans the Rio Mendoza and is known as the Inca bridge. It is the work of nature and not, as was once popularly supposed, of the Inca. The road on which it occurs was probably a highway made by the Peruvian inca, who took advantage of the phenomenon by leading their road over this natural viaduct. "Tep. Got a business man's athletic class. Tuition, $3 a year." "Well, those rates are attractive, but too low to pay you." "You don't get the idea. They all drop out in about two weeks. Then I start another class."—Judge Much Traveled. First Tourist—Did you ever see the Catskill mountains? Second Tourist—No, never, but I have seen them kill mice. Vanity this hard. In some obstinate case it adds the new dimension. The insects are provided with muscles of enormous power as compared with men. If a fly be held by the wings it can pick up and carry a match, and this is as if a man were able to pick up a beam twenty-eight feet long and fifteen and one-half inches square. An ordinary little ant can pull eight matches on rollers, which would equal a load of 380 beams the size of a man when its weight is compared with that of a horse. The flea jumps 200 times its own height, which is about the same as if a man were to jump over the nearly thousand foot high Eiffel tower. An oyster opposes being opened by exerting a force of over thirty pounds, and for a man to show the same power he would have to take up eighty large locomotives and bear them Atlas-like upon his shoulders. From a purely physical point of view man is the weakest of animals. It is only by the use of his mind and the application of the laws of mechanics in the machinery he has invented that he has been able to dominate the world. Boston Herald. The Yosemite. The best authorities have now agreed upon the spelling of Yosemite as recorded in Hodge's "Handbook of the American Indians." The following forms have been employed in various publications: Oosemite, Oosoomite, Sosemitezh, Sosemity, Yaseemme, Yoamity, Yohamite, Yosahmittis, Yosemate, Yosemetos, Yosemety, Yosimities and Yosomite. It never was used by the Indians as the name of the valley, for the Awani division of the Miwok tribe, who made their home in the valley, called their principal village and the whole valley by their name Awani. The name Yosemite may have derived from the Awani village of Lesamaiti, but Powers regards it as a distortion of the Miwok word ouzunatii, meaning grizzly bear—New York Sun. The Squirrel. Innocent in all his ways, harmless in his food, playful as a kitten, but without cruelty, and surpassing the fantastic dexterity of the monkey, with the grace and brightness of a bird, the little dark eyed miracle of the forest glances from branch to branch, more like a sunbeam than a living creature. It leaps and darts and twines where it will. A chamols is slow to it and a panther clumsy. Grotesque as a gnome, gentle as a fairy, delicate as the silken plumes of the rush, beautiful and strong like the spiral of a fern, it haunts you, listens for you, bides from you, looks for you, loves you, as if the angel that walks with your children had made it himself for a heavenly plaything.—John Ruskin. Palace of the Popes. The Vatican is the papal palace and derives its name from the hill on which it stands, the Mons Vaticanus, one of the seven hills of Rome. It is a collection of magnificent buildings, which occupy a space of 1,151 by 767 feet. The most ancient of the present structures dates from the time of Nicholas V., about 1447. The various popes from time to time added new buildings, in which are many works of art of a historical character. The Sistine chapel, one of the Vatican edifices, contains Michelangelo's first masterpiece in painting. "The Last Judgment." The Pauline chapel possesses Michelangelo's frescoes of "The Conversion of St. Paul" and "The Crucifixion of St. Peter." Troops and Winter When Napoleon went to Moscow and back it was found that the French soldiers stood the intense cold better than the Poles and north Germans. It is quite wrong, by the way, to suppose, as is often done, that that fatal winter set in early with exceptional severity. Napoleon invented that explanation to palliate the disaster into which he plunged his army. But the autumn was so exceptionally mild that the peasants believed that God was favoring Napoleon, and the first snowstorm did not come until Nov. 6, an unusually late arrival. Decorations For Women There are few decorations for women in Europe, the most ancient order coming from the Austrian throne. It is the decoration of the Star and Crucifix and is given to women of high rank. Another is the Luisen, founded in memory of the beautiful queen of Prussia whom Napoleon insulted. This order is given to all classes of women who, subject themselves to any great self sacrifice. To Clean Watch Chains Gold or silver watch chains can be cleaned with a very excellent result, no matter whether they be matt or polished, by laying them for a few seconds in pure aqua ammonia. They are then rinsed in alcohol and finally shaken in clean sawdust free from sand.—Medical Herald. Naval Mines. The first recorded appearance of mines as instruments of naval warfare was at the siege of Antwerp in 1585, when they were employed by the Dutch against the Spaniards. A warried young lady hastened the departure of a tedious caller by remarking as she looked out of the window, "I think we are going to have a beautiful sunrise." Reverse Conditions. Flushman—I say, old man, I'd like change for a five. Do Bruce—Would you? I'd like five for a change—Boston Transcript. "Where are the stars in the daytime?" a child asked, and the wise man said: "The stars in the daytime are just where they are at night, and if something could be put over the sun we should see them again. Something is put over the sun sometimes, for the moon comes in the way, so that for a time he cannot be seen, even though it is daytime and there are no clouds in the sky. When that happens one of the most wonderful things in the world is to see the stars "come out again." They were there all the time, shining as brightly as ever, but the sun is so very much brighter to us, because he is so very much nearer to us, that we could not see them. "When you are listening to thunder or to a cannon you do not hear the quiet sound of your own breathing, although the thunder is far away and the breathing is near, and just as the great noise swallows up the little sound so the great light of the sun swallows up the little light of the stara"—Kansas City Star. The Falklands. Buried in banks of fog, drenched in drizzling rains, swept by bitter winds from the Antarctic, the Falkland islands are surely the most dismal of Great Britain's family of organized colonies. The rain ceases only when the wind blows the fiercest, the fog hangs low and heavy except when the gales whip it 19 shreds. It is a treeless land, part barren rocks and part grassy slopes. A day of sunshine is a rare joy. Tierra del Fuego is its nearest neighbor. The people, some 2,000 in number, are sturdy descendants of Scotch immigrants, and the sheep that browse on the eternally damp hills are their only source of revenue. Yet there is a capital, a government and a governor duly appointed by the crown and sent to suffer virtual exile for a time among the moist shepherds of the antipodes. The Falkland islands appeal to the imagination as the remotest, loneliest and least desirable of all lands inhabited by Europeans—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Conscription. With the exception of the one occasion in 1863, when the quotas of the states did not fill up as rapidly as desired, there has been no conscription in the United States. The draft riot in New York was the outcome of this conscription, and, as it happened, the muster rolls were filled in the meantime without need of the men originally drafted. Conscription was ruthless at one time in England. The worst form of conscription was employed in connection with recruiting the navy in Nelson's time. No one was safe from attack by the redoubtable press gangs, and the victories of this glorious epoch of England's history were won in part by men who often kicked and bit and tussled to break away from the gangs that hurled them into the navy.—New York Sun. Harder Than Diamonds. Although the diamond is generally regarded as the hardest of all substances, it is a fact that there is a substance even harder. This is a metal known as tantalum, a rare metal, although not one of the rarest. Just how hard it is may be imagined when it is mentioned that a thin sheet of it was once placed under a diamond drill worked day and night for three days. The only effect was a slight indentation in the tantalum and the wearing out of the diamond. Tantalum is very difficult to produce, but when it can be obtained in sufficient quantities it will be an exceedingly useful substance. Among its other uses it will be employed to cut diamonds and to make filaments for electric lamps. It is one of the few substances that are hard without being brittle. The "Death Watch." The so called "death watch," with its mysterious ticking at night time, is due to nothing more serious than the furniture beetle. The larva of this insect burrows in the furniture, making the pin holes which are often to be seen in old furniture. It is three years in its pupa condition and at length becomes a little brown insect with a great talent for shamming death, so that it is not very much observed. These beetles often strike the wood of their galleries with their heads, and so produce a ticking sound which is a call to the mate. Slightly Sarcastic "I am convinced that in many respects I resemble George Washington," said the pompous man. "It seems unfair," replied Miss Cayenne, "that an accident of chronology should have placed you at such a disadvantage. Merely because Washington was born first people say you resemble him instead of saying he resembles you. It really seems unfair."—Washington Star. Canadian Provinces The areas of the nine Canadian provinces in square miles are: Quebec, 706, 834; Ontario, 407,253; British Columbia, 837,660; Alberta, 238,540; Saskatchewan, 250,650; Manitoba, 251,833; New Brunswick, 27,985; Nova Scotia, 21,423; and Prince Edward Island, 2,184. Magnetic Mountains. The mountains of Porto Rico are so magnetic that they attract surveyors' plumb lines, and it has been found that some old surveys are incorrect by half a mile or more. It's a Great School. Daily life is a university; the home is a college; the office, the factory, the farm are high schools, each with more sources than any university can offer. A Pretty Compliment The "three beautiful Miss Gunsinger" were in their day—which was after the middle of the eighteenth century—such famous beauties that the London crowd often followed their carriages on the street and fairly mobbed any shop they were known to have entered in the effort to get a sight of them. The handsomest of the trio, worn out by the activities of the London season, stayed for a time in the country near a market town. It was known in the neighborhood that she wished to pass unnounced and was not well, and her wish was respected. But on the day of her departure from the town there was an unusual number of people at hand to see the coach start. As the lovely lady stepped from the inn door to the step of the coach the branch of a climbing rose caught for a moment in her hair. Instantly a voice called from the crowd: "No names, my lads, and no staring, but three cheers for the queen of beauty that the roses crowns of their selves!" They were given with a will and won the response of a radiant face at the coach window and a gracious hand waving farewell. Eggs Hatched In Rise John Chinaman had a method of hatching eggs artificially many generations before there were any white men in America to begin to think about providing a mechanical substitute for the mother hen. And John Chinaman is still using his ancient method and refuses to purchase the newfangled incubator. The Chinese poultryman takes a quantity of unhusked rice which he has roasted. This is heated until it is lukewarm. A three inch layer of warm rice is spread into a tub, and a layer of eggs is placed thereon. Another layer of rice is added and another layer of eggs and finally a last layer of rice over the fifth layer of eggs. About 500 eggs are placed in a tub. Once each day the eggs are removed, the rice heated and the whole repacked. The tub is kept well covered to keep in the heat. In the course of three or four weeks the chicks put in their appearance.—American Boy. How Napoleon Dressed Napoleon was always simple in his dress and generally wore the uniform of his own guard. He was cleanly rather from habit than from liking for cleanliness. He bathed often—sometimes in the middle of the night—because he thought the practice good for his health. But, apart from this, the precipitation with which he did everything did not admit of his clothes being put on carefully, and on gala days and full dress occasions his servants were obliged to consult together as to when they might snatch a moment to dress him. He could not endure the wearing of ornaments. The slightest constraint was insupportable to him. He would tear off or break anything that gave him the least annoyance—Memoirs of Mme. de Remusat. Penys and the Otacousticon Pepys and his friends. As far back as 1088 experiments were being made with what savants called an "otacousticon," which brought distant sounds to the ear and was a faroff promise of the "long distance" and "wireless" messages of today. Samuel Pepys was abroad in those days, and, of course, he saw the new toy, tried it and mentions it in his diary. He went with Lord Brouncker to the "Royal society," and "here, to my great content, I did try the use of the otacousticon, which was only a great glass bottle broke at the bottom, putting the neck to my eare, and there I did plainly hear the dancing of the oares of the boats in the Thames to Arundel gallery window, which without it I could not in the least do." Court Room Retart Two young attorneys were wrangling for a long time before Judge Knox of Virginia over a point of law. His honor rendered his decision, and the sprig who had lost impunity remarked, "Your honor, there is a growing opinion that all the fools are not dead yet." "Certainly," answered the court, with unruffled good humor; "I quite agree with you, Mr. B., and congratulate you upon your healthy appearance." Badly Matched. Mrs. Yeast-This paper says the matching of colors has been brought down to an exact science by the invention of a machine for the purpose.

"Dear sir," wrote the anxious mother, "I am afraid Johnny is not trying enough." "Dear madam," replied the harassed teacher, "I assure you that Johnny is quite trying enough. He is the most trying boy in the class." Power of Beauty: Power of beauty Beauty gets the best of it.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, JANUARY 16, 1915 Prior to Napoleon's 1812 campaign the Paris gendarmes one night made a raid on a house in the Plaine Montrouge and discovered quite a fine manufactory of false notes. There was quite a stir next day when the police minister made the announcement that the manufactory had been started "by order of the emperor." The false notes, which were Austrian and Russian instead of French, were intended for use against the enemy on the Russian expedition, but the bulk of them came to grief during the great retreat. Wellington was responsible for a similar stroke of business during the peninsular war. Being badly in need of gold when about to invade France, he conceived the queer idea of hunting out some counterfeit coins from the ranks. Quite a number of these gentry were forthcoming, and these were ordered by the duke to exercise their evil art by transferring his English sovereigns into louis d'or and napoleons—London Globe. The Stronger Hand. If you are right handed, then the right hand is stronger than the left. If you are left handed the left hand will be stronger. If you are truly ambidextrous the strength of both hands will be equal. The advantage of one hand over the other is due to the greater exercise it may receive. All the muscles of our arms and legs are developed by exercise, and their respective strength will be in accordance with their use. That the right hand is stronger than the left can be proved by discontinuing the use of the right arm for several weeks by tying it to the side of your body. When you release the arm you will find that much of its strength is gone and that now the left hand is stronger. This applies to a right handed person, and the test would work the other way with a left handed person. This goes to show that the strength of hands and arms is unconsciously affected by the amount of rational exercise.—Exchange. Our Mineral Wealth. The United States is not only the world's greatest producer of mineral wealth, but it possesses by far the greatest known reserve of any nation in most of the important minerals. This is one of the things that has made us great and which is destined to make us far greater as measured by world standards. In some instances, such as coal and oil and phosphate rock and radium ore, the United States possesses more than all the other known deposits of the world, and the only essential minerals of the first rank of which the United States has no known supply at all commensurate with its needs are nitrates, potash salts, tin, nickel and platinum. But as it stands today no other nation in the world so nearly approaches absolute independence in respect to mineral resources, notwithstanding the vast magnitude of our home consumption.—Review of Reviews. The Professions. The census has provided us with a definition of "the professions." A good many folk have wondered a good many times what the "professional classes" were. The census has decided. They constitute— Actors. Architects, designers, draftsmen, etc. Artists and teachers of art. Clergymen (including religious and charity workers). Dentists. Journalists. Lawyers (including abstractors, notaries and justices of peace). Literary and scientific persons. Musicians and teachers of music. Physicians and surgeons (including nonmedical healers). Schoolteachers, professors in colleges, etc.-New York Press. The Earth's Shadow The earth has a shadow, but few ever see it except in eclipses of the moon. Nevertheless, many of us have noticed on fine, cloudless evenings in summer, shortly before sunset, a rosy or pink arc on the horizon opposite the sun, with a bluish gray segment under it. As the sun sinks the arc rises until it attains the zenith and even passes it. This is the shadow of the earth. Language Mixed. "That," said the physician, as he examined the lump on the man's neck, "is the remains of an old boil that started to come and then became encysted there." "Well," said the unlettered patient, "it sure has encysted on stay'in there."—Chicago Post. Early Writing Implements.

And so on through the list. There is no more certainty or fixity about the popular names of dishes than there is about the popular names of flowers and birds. At least thirty different flowers are known by the name of "mayflower" in the United States. The mayflower of New England is the arbutus of New York and the wax myrtle of the south. To obtain certainty in such matters it is necessary to have a scientific classification and a Latin name. When you speak to a botanical gent about a "mayflower" he knows not what you mean, but if you refer to the Epigaea repens he knows exactly what you are talking about. Consequently we shall never have any certainty about what a dish is until we have a regular scientific classification, with Latin names, for all dishes. In that case the "botanical name" of Vermont hasty pudding would be something like muschus cornmealensis and no chance for controversy.—New York Mall. Count Karolyi, according to the Vossische Zeitung, returning to his castle in Hungary, met one of his old servants who had just been sent back wounded from the war. "My good man, I hear you fought so valiantly at the front," said the count, "I would like to give you some reward. What shall it be? The old servant replied: "Well, if you insist upon it, sir, just give me enough kronen coins to reach from one ear to the other." "That seems to be a very little reward," replied the count, smiling at the odd request. "It's enough for me, sir," answered the servant modestly. As the count was beginning to comply with the strange request he noticed that the servant had only one ear and remarked upon the fact. "Yes, sir. I left the other ear on the battlefield at Shabatz," answered the modest man. Fire Averages. Following is an extract from an article in Farm and Fireside on preventing and fighting fires: Fires in our homes are so frequent that the insurance companies tell us that we have about one chance in sixty of being burnt out some time in the course of a lifetime. But in the same breath they tell us that more than half the fires could be prevented if people understood the commonest causes of them and knew just what to do when a fire starts. Smokers are responsible for thousands of fires, and rats and mice cause many others by nibbling at sulphur tipped matches. Fires which start in closets are often caused by matches being left in clothes or by oily cloths which have been stored away. Many of the floor polishing mixtures contain highly explosive oils, and spontaneous combustion may start from a nest of these cleaning cloths if placed in a closet near the chimney. Rigid Feet In the Pit. Salaries at the early New York theaters were extremely small. But if the salaries were small so were the prices of admission. One shilling, $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents, let you into the gallery or the pit, and if you didn't have the shilling the mercenary management forced you to pay 13 cents. So the boys got the habit of changing their money at a fishwoman's on the corner, who for 15 cents obligingly gave them a shilling and a pig's foot. They handed in the shilling at the door and during the course of the evening presented the well picked bone to the management by way of some unfortunate in the pit or on the stage. An Easier Method. Not Handsome but Wealthy Bride (asking the question for the hundredth time or thereabouts)—Are you sure, perfectly sure, dear Albert, that you married me for myself alone, and not for my money? Dear Albert (who is getting somewhat weary of answering the same old chestnut)—Of course I am! If it had been only your money I wanted I would have tried burglary or some easier way of getting it.

RUSSELL RETAIL LIQUORS CAFE AND CHOP SUE IN CONNECTION 20 YEARS AT THIS CORNER N. E. Cor. 35th and State Sts., Chicago Yes, He Was In. The collector was after a deadbeat, and there were rumors that he was in more serious trouble than owing debts. The collector was told to get after him at once and run him down, before anybody else got hold of him. So he chose a time of day when the deadbeat would be most likely to be at home and went to his house and mang the bell. The man's wife came to the door. "Your husband is in?" he said sternly—he made a statement rather than a question of it. She looked scared and answered, "Y—yes, sir." "I want to see him at once," he went on, very severely. "Why, you can't see him," she answered. "He's in, and yet I can't see him? I'd like to know why I can't!" "Because he's in for six months!" she sobbed, and shut the door in his face. Argonaut. Lyddite, the powder that has enormous explosive force and can be fired from a gun easily carried about, does not, as has been widely supposed, take its name from a man, but from an ancient town near the coast of Kent, England, the town of Lydd, where there is a government artillery range, where the tests were made that resulted in the preparation of this explosive. Lyddite has extraordinary qualities aside from its explosive force, since its fumes are so suffocating as sometimes to be intolerable. Lydd shares the notoriety that attaches to the name of Dumdum,'that other peaceful city in Bengal, where are manufactured the expanding bullets that attract so much unfavorable comment in war. Penetrated His Disguise "The last minstrel stopped at a back door and said to the housewife who greeted him: "Give me something to eat, fair dame, and I will tickle your ears with a nery tale of romance." "But why not tell me the tale first?" the dame suggested. "No. I must have the food and drink before I talk." Thereupon the dame slammed the door with the tart retort: "You're not a marty minstrel. You're an after dinner speaker."—New York Globe. are the food and drink dame slammed the retort: try minstrel.

Real & Blocki's Flower Little Perfumes A woman's birthday is a fact, but her age is fiction. The rolling stone acquires a polish along with his bumps. The industrious man prays for work; the lazy man for a snap. In the matter of war neither might nor dynamite makes right. The best lessons a man can learn are from his own mistakes. People who take themselves too seriously never have any fun. Cheer up! Sunshine will eventually puncture the thickest cloud. A woman always wants another woman to help her keep a secret. War is just as bloody, no matter which side seems to be winning. No real hustler is satisfied with the things that come to those who wait. At least the Swiss navy will not do anything to complicate the situation. If there is anything glorious at all about war it is the Red Cross nurse. In this war nothing is sure but death in Europe and taxes in America. China still sits by the "open door" wondering what is going to blow in next. Some fellows strike out for themselves, while others depend on a pinch hitter. shares the name ful city actured tract so war.

Take, for instance, his knowledge of Roman civil law, long passages of which he once reeled off by heart to the astonishment of the state council engaged with him in the production of the Code Napoleon. To one of the counclors he explained how he gained his legal learning. When a young lieutenant he found in the cupboard of a prison room in which he was confined a ponderous tome of Roman law. "You can easily imagine," he said, "what a valuable prize that book was. When, at the end of ten days, I recovered my freedom I was saturated with Justinian and the Roman legal decisions." Napoleon added that the old book was covered with marginal notes—so much so that he could not have been idle if his imprisonment had "lasted a century." The Country Newspaper. I am ashamed to say that I had entrained a good humored tolerance, mingled with contempt, for country newspapers. They seemed to me the apotheosis of the little, the palladium of the uninteresting. It did not occur to me that anything possessed of such tenacity of life as the country newspaper must have a real meaning and perform a genuine function in our civilization. In this roaring age of efficiency we do not long support any institution that does not set its claws deep into our common life—and hang on—David Grayson in American Magazine. Acute Pleasure. Wife (returning from matinee)—Oh, it was too lovely! She had on a pale nile green silk, with bands of passementerie down the front and the grandest diamonds you ever saw, and when she died, in the last act, she rolled over four times, and every woman in the house was crying. I never enjoyed a play so much in my life.—Puck. Her Nice Little Plan He-I don't believe your father will give his consent. I haven't got much, you know. She-That doesn't matter. The first month we can live on love, the second I'll begin to borrow things from namma and about the third papa will get tired of it and come to the rescue.-London Telegraph. Nice Neighbors. "Tough neighborhood I live in. People steal everything I leave in my shed." "Why don't you put a padlock on the door?" "I put on a fine one, and somebody got it the first night."—Kansas City Journal. The Remedy. Aviator—I don't know the air currents up there. Friend—Then why not take a minister up with you? Aviator—A minister? Friend—Yes. Isn't he a sky pilot—Baltimore American. "Blinks always hits the nail on the head." "Yes, but usually he drives it into the wrong place."-Philadelphia Ledger. She—The waiter is hanging around as though he expected something. He—Oh, yes; he's a tippical waiter.—Providence Journal. The crosses which we make for ourselves by overanxiety about the future are certainly not heaven sent. The Prince and the Captains. The admiral commanding the British Mediterranean squadron a number of years ago gave a dinner to the captains of the fleet at Malta. By 6:45 most of the captains had reached the flagship, been received on deck by the admiral and ushered below. Next the Duke of Edinburgh arrived. The admiral received him and, keeping him in conversation, continued to pace the deck. All subsequent arrivals were duly ushered below to the saloon, but still the admiral kept the duke on deck. At last it occurred to the duke that the dinner hour had been passed, and he ventured to inquire if his host was waiting for anybody. "Yes," replied the admiral, "I am waiting for the captain of the"— Instantly the duke took the hint, called for a boat and made posthaste for his own ship. He alone among the captains of the fleet had turned up in ordinary evening clothes, forgetting or not knowing that the dinner was official. On his return to the flagship in the quickest time on record and in full uniform the gallant but inflexible admiral was still pacing the deck and, deprecating his royal highness' profuse apologies, conducted him to dinner. Eighteenth Century Tipping. Eighteenth Century Tipping. You and I complain—and not without reason—of the tyranny of the tip. But consider the unhappy plight of the eighteenth century man. Here is the anguished wall of "Constant Reader," who in 1795 writes to the Times: "If a man who has a horse puts up at an inn, besides the usual bill, he must at least give 1 shilling to the waiter, sixpence to the chambermaid, sixpence to the hostler and sixpence to the jackboot, making together 2s. 6d. At breakfast you must give at least sixpence between the waiter and hostler. If the traveler only puts up to have a refreshment, besides paying for his horse's standing he must give threepence to the hostler, at dinner sixpence to the waiter and threepence to the hostler, at tea sixpence between them, so that he gives away in the day 2s. 6d., which, added to the 2s. 6d. for the night, makes 5 shillings per day on an average to servants." And 5 shillings then meant at least 10 shillings today.—London Express. Theodosia Once Great Corn Port Theodosis Once Great Corn Port. Theodosis, the Crimean port, bears one of the oldest names in Europe. It was founded in the seventh century B. C. by the Greeks of Miletus and became a great exporter of corn. In one year alone of the fourth century B. C. Theodosis sent 2,100,000 medimi (a medinnus equals twelve gallons) of corn to Athens. How climate influences history is illustrated by the fact that the Crimea, which had so much corn to spare in antiquity, has in our time had to be fed from Russia. "It is very probable," says Mommsen, "that the extraordinary drought, which is the chief obstacle now to agriculture in the Crimea, has been greatly increased by the disappearance of the forests of central and southern Russia, which formerly to some extent protected the coast provinces from the parching northeast wind." World's Debt to the Unfit The world owes much to the physically unfit. It would be less worth living in today but for the brilliant consumptives and cripples and blind and deaf men who have enriched it. In our craze for efficiency and for standardizing everything we are in danger of forgetting that there are other things in the world too. We cannot do without the consumptive Stevensons, the blind Milton, the deaf Beethovens, the bunchback Alexander Popes, the clubfoot Byrons, the helpless Prescott. A rule that would have deprived Heine of an education would have been costly to the world. Enforced against Alexander H. Stephens it would have deprived American history of one of its noblest figures.—New York Times. Money Wasted. "That young millionaire says he holds you in the kindest remembrance. He says it was at a party given by you that he proposed to his wife." "The affair has unpleasant reminiscences for me. That was a very expensive party, and I gave it in the expectation that he was going to propose to one of my girls."—Louisville Courier Journal. Investigating. Blackstone Kent (to partner)—Have you investigated Mrs. Brown's case sufficiently to say whether we would be justified in asking a divorce? Partner—Well, I have asked the mercantile agencies for a report on her husband's financial standing.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Toronto's Name. The name of the city of Toronto is of Indian origin, and its meaning is "a place of meeting." The site of Toronto before the arrival of the white man was an established rendezvous among the Indian tribes of the surrounding districts. The Grouchy View. Secretary (writing advertisement)—Wanted, an intelligent young man, unmarried—Old Grouch—Leave out the "unmarried." You said intelligent, didn't you?—Exchange. Wanted More. "Why did Kate refuse at the party to sing 'All That I Want Is Love?'" "She refused because it wouldn't be true. She wants the vote also."—Exchange. When men are rightly occupied their amusement grows out of their work, as the color petals out of the fruitful flower—Buskin.

Writers who habitually work at night, and all-night, frequently get strange nervous fancies. Huxley said, "When I am working at night I not only bear burglaries moving about, but I actually see them looking through the crack in the door at me!" Wilkie Collins was a habitual night worker until he was frightened out of it by the appearance of another Wilkie Collins, who sat down at the table with him and tried to monopolize the desk. There was a struggle, and the ink stand was upset. When the real Wilkie Collins came to himself, sure enough, the ink was running over the writing table, proof enough of a struggle. After that Mr. Collins gave up night work. TEL. OAKLAND 1550, 1551, 1552 CHICAGO
