Sitmorous Department A Dry Witness.?Two men had been arrested in a dry town for drinking, and the prosecuting witness was on the stand, relates Judge. "You say," said the attorney for the defense, "that you saw the men in the field drinking?" "Yes, sir; I did." "Was the field fenced?" "Yes, sir." "Where were you?" "On the far side of the fence." "Was there a board off that you could see through?" "No, sir.""Was there a knothole in the fence?" "is'o, sir." The attorney braced himself for the crushing question that he had ready to launch at the victim whom he thought he had so adroitly cornered. "Now," he said, banging the table, "will you tell the court how you could see two men drinking in a field surrounded by a fence with no boards off and never a knothole in it?" "Yes, sir," said the witness. "Well, tell it," commanded the attorney impatiently. "It was a barbed wire fence." | Gave Him Donkey Order*.?An Irish ( drill sergeant was instructing some | recruits in the mysteries of marching ( movements and found great difficulty in getting a countryman of his to halt ( when the command was given, says the , Kansas City Star. After explaining ] and illustrating several times he ap- f proached the recruit, sized him up ( silently for a couple of minutes, then j demanded his name. < "Fitzgerald, sor," was the reply. ] "Did you ever drive a donkey, Fitz?" ] "Yes, sor." I "What did you say when you wanted < him to stop?'* < "Whoa!" ( The sergeant turned away and im- i mediately put his squad in motion, i After they had advanced a couple j yards or so he bawled out at the top j of his lungs: "Squad halt! Whoa t Fitzgerald!" I Disabled.?In a certain camp a bat- j talion was being instructed in "how to r take a convoy through an open coun- ^ try." One company was told off to rep- j resent a convoy, the men being in- t structed that they were to represent j horses, cows and wagons. i After being halted a short time the j advance signal was given and the i convoy moved on, but the major no- j ticed that one man continued to lie j down, and galloping up to him in a f rage, said: "Man, why don't you ad- ] vance?" ( The soldier replied, "I can't 3ir." t "You can't? What do you mean?" f "I'm a wagon," said the soldier, "and I've got a wheel off."?Tit-Bits. ] No Use Talking.?A young man f trying to get a certain number on the e telephone had been repeatedly told by central that the line was busy, relates the Louisville Times. Persistency Anally won, and the young man heard the receiver click as a party picked it up. "Hello, hello," said the young man. "There's your party," said central. "Hello, hello," said the young man, his voice rising, but he got no further than this, for he was interrupted by a loud squeaky voice, apparently that of an old woman. "I'm deaf, and can't hear nothing," came the voice over the line, followed by the bang of the receiver. Argumentum and Feminam.?Representative Bowdle of Ohio, whose vigorous anti-suffrage speech was the feature of last month's suffrage debate, sat at a recent dinner party in Washington beside a suffragist. The suffragist, desirous of showing woman's serfdom of servitude, said: "Mr. Bowdle, why does a woman, when she marries a man, take his name?" But Mr. Bowdle, desirous to show woman's sheltered and easy economic position, smiled and answered: "Why does she take.everything else he's got?*' What He Wanted.?"Is there any mail for John or me?" inquired the general delivery patron. "You're strangers to me," retorted the postal clerk. "Do you suppose 1 can tell people's names by looking at them?" "I don't see that it makes any difference if I am a stranger. Look and see if there is any mall for John or me?John Orr Mee." He got his letter from a much subdued postal clerk. Palatable Combination.?One day Luther Burbank was walking in his garden, when he was accosted by an officious acquaintance who said: "Well, what are you working on now?*' "Trying to cross an eggplant and milkweed," said Mr. Burbank. e "And what under heaven do you ex- c pect to get from that?" Mr. Burbank calmly resumed his t walk. t "Custard pie," he said. ' 1; Only Her Husband.?Mrs. Atkins, i dissatisfied with the number of times i one man came to see her cook, spoke I to her about it. "When I engaged you, Martha," she said, "you told me a you had no man friends. Now when- a ever I come into the kitchen I find the <] same man here." "Bress yo\ ma'am," smiled Martha, "dat niggah ain't no frien' ob mine." "No friend? Then who is he?" "He's ma husban'." Sad to Hear.?"I heard something Very sad this morning," said a mistress to her servant, in explanation of her not feeling well, as the girl commented upon her mistress's appearance. "Well," said the girl, "I can feel for you, ma'am. I heard something sad this morning, too." "You did?" asked the mistress. "Pray, tell me what was it?" The alarm clock, ma'am." Would Come Again.?Just as the mother and her small son left the neighbor's house, where they had been calling, the hostess handed the little fellow a banana. "What do you say, dear?" ad- , monished his mother. . "I'll be back again later," said the boy.

Thirty years ago Ferdinand de Lesseps, fresh from the laurels of the Suez canal and before the Panama project had tarnished them, said that the greatest European city of the 20th century would be Warsaw. He based his prophecy on the fact that the city, on account of its situation, could be 1 developed almost infinitely in regard to industries and consequently in regard to population. The population he had seen grow from 161,000 in 1860 to 1 483,000 in 1885. In 1913, it was 900,000, 1 and when the war came mis nau reacued a million. Recently it was said to have reached 1,500,000. About a third of the population is Jewish. In 1914, the military authorities discovered that the fortifications near the city were obsolete and this turned over to factories much valuable land. But it was not alone in industry that Warsaw has developed. Its commerce has also grown. It stands at the point of junction of the great trunk lines which run from Berlin and Vienna to Moscow, and so on to Asia, Siberia and Pekin. Thus it has become the great clearing house between the west and the east. The navigable Vistula at Warsaw is el third of a mile wide, and here it is crossed by one of the longest railway bridges in the world. Besides this there are two road bridges. From one jf them, the Alexandra bridge, there Is a comprehensive view of the part jf the city which is on the terraced eft or western bank of the Vistula. The clock-faced turret of the Royal ? Palace is seen above its gardens, close :o the Gothic tower of the cathedral . >f St. John. But save for the cluster < >f gilt domes of the modern cathedral >f St. Alexander, few buildings break J lpon the skyline. The architecture of iVarsaw is of no great interest. Its \ dace was taken before the war by the s >rettines8 of streets and buildings and * he gaiety and kindness of the people. Warsaw has for more than a century \ >een associated with ideas of Polish r mtriotism and independence rather c nore than Cracow, the ancient capital, f vhich managed to preserve Its inde- r jendence until the 40s of the last cen- * ury- Although the Poles in Na- v joleon's army looked upon it as the f AntxUol o naur n nrl fron 1 roiuicu vo.|/uai vi o> ncn anu 4* vv ^oland, the European concert, passed j Warsaw over to the Russians in 1813, t ind for 17 years it was the centre of s ntrigue and revolt which finally * c 'ound expression in the revolution of j 1830, which forced the Grand Duke a ?onstantlne, the czar's brother, out of 11 he city and for nearly a yeaV left it 'ree to the Poles. These things, the insurrection of r 863, and the fact that many Warsaw 1 ?oles were subsequently driven into j| xile, among whom were many painters and writers, continued to preserve u he legend of Warsaw's patriotism in ^ oreign lands, when in reality the city 8 vas quite content with its Russian 1) rovernors and the effects made in 1 natters of religion and language to ;eep the people willing subjects of the ezar as part of the great Slavonic em- e )lre. . The city had its beginning on the, >eautiful terraces on the left bank of | j he Vistula, which in medieval times lad come into the possession of the d )ukee of Masovia, their retainers and 0 >enchmen living on the right bank, ^ vhich gradually grew from a village v 0 a town. 1 While the exact date of the founding it the city is unknown, as early as the v linth century Conrad of Mazovia had s 1 castle there. Casmir the Just is lupposed to have enlarged its fortifica- c Ions. It was the residence of the t iukes of Mazovia until 1526, when t heir dynasty was extinguished and dazovia was annexed to Poland. Be- a ng neither Polish nor Lithuanian, fl Varsaw became the capital when the wo rival powers were united in a a kingdom. From 1572 onward the () dngs of Poland were elected on the ield of Wala, on the outskirts of War- * aw. / Beginning with the 17th century, its n >ossession was continually disputed P imong the Swedes, the Russians, the a Brandenburgs and the Austrians. f Charles Gustavus of Sweden captured s t in 1655 and kept it for a year. The 'oles retook it, but lost it almost im- t nediately. The Swedes did much for ts embellishment, but it suffered t nuch at the hands of Cnarles XII. v In the partition of Poland in 1794, f he city withstood successfully attacks >y Russians and Prussians until, in November of that year, the Russians t aptured it, street by street and per>etrated a frightful massacre. From j 795 to 1806, the city was in posses- t ion of Prussia and it then be-eame the n apital of the newly created Duchy of Varsaw, and was held in pawn by y Napoleon, except for a short Austrian s nterruption, until 1813, when its presnt Russian character was forced up- ? in it. n The Vistula runs through the city s >etween a plateau on its left bank and ertlle plains on the right, the former n recent years having claimed the y arger part of the population. Like " ^ris, too, it is a city of beautiful sub- * irbs, among which are Praga and jj Cew Praga. The main city lies close to th? river ? ind it is laid out in squares, but the t itreets of the old city are merely p levelopments from country lanes. The 6 vails of the city, memorials of its 17th * entury sieges, inclose the suburbs, and s ire entered by eleven gates. a Aside from its river and suburbs, , he city has another reminder of Paris; his is its boulevards?Ujazdowska and i rerusalem streets. There are, too, s nany fine parks on both sides of the * iver. Warsaw is also a city churches, vith six Russian and more than 30 Ftoman Catholic. Among the latter is he cathedral of St. John, with the Palace Square and connected with the aalace. A magnificent view of both auildings may be had from the oppodte rising bank of the river. The cathedral dates from the 14th century. Warsaw has long been famous for i's printing and carriage industries, its woven goods and its plated ware. It is also the clearing house between the north and the south, coal, leather and wheat bettor the nrineinnl evehanires t which, before the war, passed over the > railways centered here. In drainage, j water works and rapid transit facili- , ties the city hits not kept pace with its growing industrial importance.

How much copper is used in the anufacture of shrapnel? How much eel? What other metals? What is e cost ? These are the questions 'all street is asking. Expressed in the language of Wall reet, shrapnel is costing European luntries now at war about $18 each i the firing line. Manufacturers in is country and Canada are getting om $15 to more than $18 for each tell, the additional expense to the reign contracts being cost of transirtation and, in certain instances, ling the cartridge case with powder troad. From the point of view of engineers irapnel, one of the most effective rencies for the destruction of human 'e yet devised, is an extremely comex mechanism, its complexity being iown by the sub-contracting of the der received by the Canadian Car id Foundry company among 50 conrns in the United States and Canada, tie company's order called for 5,000,0 shrapnel, at an approximate cost of 3,000,000, or $16.65 each. Close to ,000,000 pounds of copper are being ied in their manufacture or about ur pounds to each shrapnel. The complete shrapnel is composed three principal parts: The time se, the projectile proper, a hollow eel shell filled with bullets and a irsting charge of black powder; and brass cartridge case filled with aokeless powder to shoot the proctile from the gun. This brass cartIge case is similar to the shell of an dinary rifle or revolver cartridge. T:>e time fuse is a very complicated echanical device which may be set burst the steel projectile any numir of seconds or feet after it has left e muzzle of the gun. It is as delltely constructed as a watch or a safe ck and is made largely of brass and loys of aluminum. The time fuse is screwed into the >int of the steel projectile, the proctile is filled with small bullets, usuly.about 250 in inumber, and is exoded by means of a charge of black >wder seated at the opposite end om the time fuse. When it explodes e bullets are hurled over a range about 250 square yards. The bullets e 88 per cent lead and 12 per cent itimony. The cartridge case is from a foot almost two feet long and is made sheet brass and filled with smokeless >wder. It is set off by a percussion ip and will hurl the projectile up to 000 yards, making that distance in a ifie less than 20 seconds.?Wall Street mrnal.

If you knit mittens and lace, buy two small aluminum thimbles, puncture a small hole through each thimble near the rim and sew a thimble on each end of one-eighth of a yard of narrow silk elastic. Tie a bow of bright ribbon in centre of elastic if you wish, and you have a fine protection from the sharp knitting needles by slipping a thimble over the end of the needles. It also prevents dropping of stitches when the work is lying unprotected in the work bas ket. All Kniiters Know now ea?uy the needles will slip out of the work, but by huving one of these thimbles slipped onto each end of the needle this danger is obviated. To make silk stockings last from three to four months longer than usual, darn the heel and toe before wearing. When the stockings begin to wear it will be the darning cotton that will be worn off; pull out and redarn. To Shrink Waah Goods.

A most useful article of kitchen m furniture is a small, movable, zinccovered table. It should be about twenty-eight inches high and two feet square. The top should be covered with zinc and have a heading of an inch board around to keep things from slipping. The table should be mounted on ball bearing casters. When canning, making griddle cakes, etc., it can be rolled close to the range.

As a penny can be held so close to the eye that it shuts out the great sun, so can a censuring thought be hugged so closely to the heart that It deadens the sensibilities to the great love there. Life is too short to waste time in grieving which might be spent in happiness. Why can't we more often explain a's we go, apologize where apology is needed, forgive where forgiveness is necessary, numble ourselves?do anything to heal the love w? have wounded and to preserve the sacredness of our homes? It is easy enough to settle for a roast of beef when you get it; but have It charged and each day add more to the account, and then see what there Is to pay at the end of the month. So Is it equally easy to settle a misunderstanding as soon as it occurs, but charge it up, add an unkind thought or some imagined slight each day, rake up all the half-forgotten things that ever hurt, keep an acccu.it of everything that didn't suit you for a month, and then see how hard it is to settle.
