FACTS OF MOST IMPORTANCE |
Those Which Tell Best About Past j
and Future States of Object,
Asserts Ruskin.
It ought further to be observed respecting
truths in general, that those
are always most valuable which are
inost historical, that is, which tell us
most about the past aiid future states j
of the object to which they belong, j
in a for instance, it is more ira* |
portant to give the appearance of energy
and elasticity in the limbs which
is indicative of growth and life, than
any particular character of leaf or texture
of bough. It is more important j

most sprays are creeping higher and j
higher into the sky, and be impressed
with the current of life and motion ,
which is animating every fibre than J
that we should know the exact pitch |
of relief with which those fibre*? are j
thrown out against the sky. For the j
first truths tell us tales about the
tree, about what it has been, and will
be, while the last are characteristic

vmore interesting and more important I
than silent ones. So, again, the lines j
In a crag which mark its stratification,
and how It iias been washed and
rounded by water, or twisted and
drawn out In fire, are more important,
because they tell more than the stains
of the lichens, which change year by
year, ana me acciaeni&i nssures or
front or decomposition; not but that
both of these . are historical, but historical
in a less rtstinct manner, and
for shorter periods.?Husk in.
GAVE TITLE TO RED CROSS

the Union station and waited until the
Red Cross women had checked the
baggage of a group of men just back j
from overseas. Then he eased up to J
. * th desk and thrusting his arm quickly i
' forward, laid a $20 bill in the hand of j
one of . the attendants.
"Take $16.90 out of that," the old
man said in a whisper.
"What for.?" the canteener asked.
.\ "It's my tithe," he answered. "Take i
$16.90 out of it* I must be going." j
"May I ask you who you are and i
why you give your money In this j

"It doesn't matter who I am. I am j
Just me. The money I'm giving is my j
tithe to the Red Cross and it makes '
me happy to give it. It really is $16.93, !
but you won't want to bother with

The eanteener gave him his change
and placed the money in the donation
box under the counter. He disappeared i
In the crowd in* the Union station. A
few minutes later another eanteener
arrived. She was told of the incident

Enormous Sea-Going Raft.
\\<hile log rafts are by no means
new, thQ huge raft recently construed
at Hanaranda, Sweden, and
used to ship a large number of logs
to Copenhagen, Denmark, is worthy ,
of passing mention.
The great raft measures 387 feet j
long, 55*A feet wide, 10 feet above the !
waterline and 16^ feet below.
The raft took six months to build
, and contains as much wood as four j
big steamers. It is held together by <
an ingenious system of steel cables
and wires, and is capable of carrying I
a large amount of material. The crew I
consists of seven men.

Japanese Trade With Panama.
A Japaneise consulate has been established
in Panama city. This is the
outcome of growing commercial relations
between Japan and the republic
:>f Panama. Although there are few i
Japanese residents in Panama, the
prospects for trade between the two
rountries are excellent. Japan is now
, exporting canned goods, boxes, furni- I
mre, skins, willow baskets, figured j
aiats, grass goods, earthen wares, silk ;
and cotton ^goods and many other
:hings to that country, the total value
)f which amounted to' $13,684,000 in
the year 1017, but there were practically
no imports.

RUDDY LOCKS AND COURAGE
Observation of English Writer Is That
the Two Are Generally Found
T ogether.
"Ginsrer for pluck" is an old saying
which would seem to be continued in
the bestowal of military decorations
for bravery, observes London An
swers. "It was in the ruined square
of demolished Ypres last Christinas
eve," writes a British officer, "that I
was first impressed by the large number
of red-haired men who were receiving
the military medal.
"Since that afternoon I have noted
the complexion of every officer and
man wearing a military decoration,
and the impression made at Ypres
has been strengthened in consequence.
There must be something in the old
saying, for wherever soldiers are
gathered together there is a redhaired,
beribboned man in the midst
of them.

FROM COFFIN TO KITCHEN
Plate Placed on Casket That Held
Body of Louis XIV Found Doing
Duty as Frying Pan.
At the Cluny museum in Paris Is
a very interesting relic.
One day a few years ago the curator
of the museum happened to visit
a small restaurant in the suburbs of
Saint Denis, In which the same room
served as a dining room and kitchen.
While he was waiting to be served the
curator was attracted by a * frying
pan of unusual appearance that nung
upon the wall. He took it down, carefully
removed some of the soot with
which it was covered, and made out
part of an inscription. What he
found interested him ?o much that he
bought the old pan.
When it was cleaned it was found
to bear the arms of France and Navarre,
surrounded by the chain of St
Louis and the cord of the Order of
Saint Esprit, and this inscription as
well. "Here lies the magnificent
TTintr Tenuis XIV,, King of
& 11UVV) ?
Franc? and Navarre. Requiescat In
pace."
It was the plate that had been fastened
to the coffin of Louis XIV. When
the burial vaults of the royal family
In the cathedral at Saint Denis were
rifled by the populace in 1798 it had
been wrenched from the coffin, fitted
with a handle, and turned into a frying
Dan. The handle has been re
moved.

stopped, turned to stare at the girl
.and found that she was staring at him.
Suddenly she laughed and tucking her
hand into his arm turned him around
bo that his back was toward the entrance
of the building. "Let's go back
home, Fred, and wait until we've saved
another hundred dollars," she advised.?Indianapolis

Piecing Out Wool Supply.

"Then, uncle," asked Rollo, "where
does the rest of the wool we wear
come from? Our coats and overcoats
and blankets and woolen stockings?"
'That," replied his uncle, "is reworked
wool, or shoddy." "But surely, uncle,"
exclaimed the boy, "we do not wear
shoddy, do we?" "No," said the honest
uncle, "you and I do not, but everybody

Paying War Debts. N
There is no uniform rule of action
regarding the payment of war debts.
Some war debts have been entirely
paid off, and others have been greatly
reduced. In 179,*>, following the. Revolutionary
war, the public debt of the
United States was $S0,352,684. It was
reduced year by year until 3S12, when
it was $45,203,737. During the war of
1S19 it increased until 1816, when
it was $127,S34,933. Then followed a
long period of steady yearly reduction
till in 1835 it stood at the nominal
figure of $37,512, with"much more
than that balance in tfce treasury.
Circumstances brought a long period
of growth in the public debt till 1868,
following the Civil war, It was $2,773,236,173.
r
j FORCED TO OBSERVE SABBATH
Church Attendance, Until Comparatively
Recent Times, Was Compulsory
in Great Britain.
Numerous laws in this country, Can
Hda and Great Britain forbid various
j acts of work and play on Sunday, but
| not since the lapse of the "blue laws"
J of colonial days have Americans been
forced by legislation to go to church
on the Sabbath, an exchange says, In
England, however, it was not until the
middle of the last century, during the
reign of Queen Victoria, that all penalties
for nonattendance at religious
services were abolished. Some unusual
incidents attended the enforcement of
r^ciilntinnQ r?? rriniln rlv mmit the
| Hebrews.
j They were not released from the proj
visions of the law until 1871 and multij
tudes of them were prosecuted for inj
sisting upon observing their own Sab'hath.
In the thirteenth century, it is
recorded, a Jew of Tewkesbury fell into
a sewer on a Saturday. Although
olmAot cuKiniifnrarl ha ivitnlrt rwit normit
CUIiiUOW 11^ VVUJXA UVV ^V4??>>%
himself to be drawn out, believing that
to do so would be to violate the sanctity
of the holy day. On the following
morning he was quite ready to be removed
from his perilous plight, but the
authorities, out of reverence for the
Christian Sabbath, would not permit
the unfortunate man to be rescued until
after sunrise on Monday, when be
was found to be dead.
As late as 1880 there were persons
In English prisons whose only
| crime was refusal to attend divine service.
One of them was a young man
who had been convicted at the instigation
of his own mother, who appeared
against him. In 1817 Sir Montague
Burgoyne was huled into court to explain
why he had neglected his religious
duties. Rigid Sunday observance
in England began during the reign of
Edgar, in the tenth century, when the
Sabbath day was ordained to be kept
holy from three o'clock on Saturday
afternoon until sunrise on Monday.
The most innocent actions were condemned,
and death was the extreme
penalty for continued violation of the
law. About three centuries ago parliament
passed a law imposing a fine of
one shilling for remaining away from
nhniv?h nn Snnrtnv. iinlpss some cood
excuse was forthcoming. This act re
niained in effect until comparatively
recent times, and inability or unwillingness
to pay the fine resulted in a prison
sentence*
Films to Replace Books.
I Motion pictures will take the place
of textbooks in schools and colleges,
according to Thomas A. Edison, in an
interview recently. "The only textbooks
needed will be for the teacher's
own use," declares the inventor of
the motion picture camera. "A great
film library of educational and industrial
subjects should be built up In
Washington. Then these films could
be issued on the rental system to all institutions
In the United States, even
to the most remote rural schoolhouses,
and the system could be so operated
that it^would pay its own way." Asserting:
that "anything which can be
taught to the ear can be taught better
to the eye," Mr. Edison continued:
"The moving object on the screen, the
closest possible approximation to reality,
is almost the same as bringing
1 that object itself before the child or
j taking the child to that object. Film
teaching will be done without any
books whatsoever. The only textbooks
needed will be for the teacher's own
"use. The films- will serve as guide
, posts to these teacher instruction
books, not the books as .guides to the
films." By making "every class room
and every assembly hall a movie show,
100 per cent attendance" will be assured,
Mr. Edison says. "Why, you
i won't be able to keep boys and giris
j away from school then."

I Mnekrat I ftp#'
| The feed of the muskrat consists of
! grasses, apples, bark of trees, water
j plants, carrots, turnips, cabbage and
j corn, and crayfish.
I Although millions of these browncolored
rats are trapped each year for
their fur, the number does not seem
to decrease. When the fur is made into
clothing it is called Russian mink
or Baltic seal.
One of the ways of trapping the
muskrat is set a trap three or four
inches below the surface of water in
a pUice where he has been in the habil
of leaving the water. In this way he
will step into the trap as he undertakes
to'leave the water. Still anothi
