Jlmmie said If their education taught them to torpedo Lusltanlas, sink hospital ships, murder hundreds of women and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes. then we did not went that kind of education here. What do yon think about It, Uncle Dan? I told Jlmmle you spent a lot of time In Europe and knew all about schools, ao give us your opinion." "Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliberately, "the German schools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly valuable and practical Instruction. The Industrial training given there Is probably the best to be found. The schools as a whole, however. In my opinion, appeal to the he&d only, and never to the heart The aim and trend Is to make the Individual blindly submissive to the Prussian plan of world dominion; they teach that it ls_the. dea^tlny of Germanjja^fl^'the world, and that toJJio-jfJoryand advance of Gerj^^^^jaMtffnthls plnn, all things must give the as do no wrong he carries plan greatest teachers ^^B^^H^^^^^^Kushtng of Belgians and the atrocious crimes In this war.

RUSSIA, COUNTRY OF FAMINE Peasants, Next to Orientals, Are Re garded as the Hungriest People on Face of Globe. Next to the proletariat of India an< China, the Russian peasant reels th< pinch of poverty and hunger mon keenly and more frequently than an: other citizen on earth, the Natlona Geographic magazine asserts. One of the earliest famines In Rus sia of which there Is any definite rec ord was that of 1600, which continue* for three years, with a death toll o 500,000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rati were eaten; the strong overcame th< weak and in the shambles of the pub lie markets human flesh was sold Multitudes of the dead were foun* with their mouths stufTed with straw Three Russian famines of compara tively recent date were among th< most severe in the history of the conn ( try. They occurred in 1861, 1906 an* 1911. During the ten years followini the first of these periods of dearth th< immmmon* allnttoH nplrl V S125.000. 000 for relief work, but the sums wen ot Judiciously expended. 1 The famine of 1911 extended ove one-third of the area of the empire Ii Europe and affected more or less 30,000,000 people, wfliile 8,000,000 wen reduced to starvation. Weeds, th< bark of trees and bitter bread mad< from acorns constituted the chief die for the destitute. This was the mos widespread and most severe famim which has befallen a European nutioi in modern times. First Woman Doctors. The first woman admitted to th Eeole Medeclne, the famous Paris med ical college, who also the first to b come a member of the New York Acad emy of Medicine, was Dr. Mary Put nam Jucolii, who was born in Londo: seventy-five years ago. She was th daughter of George "P. Putnam, th New York publisher, and studied ii several American schools before tal ing her degree in Paris in 1871. Tw years later she became the bride c Dr. Abraham Jacob!, a native of Gei many, who tied that country whe charged with "high treason" for pai tlclputlon in n German revolutlonar movement, and, settling in New Yorl became one of the most distinguishe of American nhvsicians.

CELIBATES IN LARGE NUMBER 1 Seventeen Millions of Class in United e States, Many Being Inferior to e Married People. 1 ! "There are 17,000,000 celibates In the I United States, according to a stateh ment which has been going the rounds - of the press, after originating In a 1 magazine article on the sex question," f says the Journal of Heredity. "Exam9 lnution of the census schedules for e 1910 indicates that this figure Includes i- all males over twenty and all females L over fifteen. 1 "A calculation based on such age r. limits Is misleading, but the actual - facts are .quite striking enough. Pere sons thirty-five years of age or over - are relatively unlikely to marry, and i it seems fair to base computations on g that age. They show, then, that there e are nearly 2,000,000 unmarried men In the population, and about 1,250,000 une married women. There are about 1,500,000 unmarried women between the r ages of twenty-five and thirty-four, i and a considerable part of these are b certain never to marry. e ~ "The celibacy of these millions Is, e from a eugenic point of view, not B wholly to be deplored. While the num1 her includes many potential fathers * and mothers of a desirable character, B It Is probable that, on the whole, these 1 ! life-long celibates are engenlcally lnfe; rlor to the married population." i Legal Witticisms. ? i Stories from the law courts are apt ' j to be good, legal wit being noted for ' its dryness. But this story claims no particular merit, except us showing the usefulness of a ready wit, observes n the Christian Science Monitor. The e counsel for the plutntiff was delivering H an impassioned address. He was u somewhat weighty in person, and hapL* pened to be leaning on a very old ? chair. In the middle of the torrent of ' eloquence, the chair gave way and the r" barrister lay on the floor in the midst n of the wreckage. He got \ip and, nnr" perturbed, pointing to the broken chair, y said: "That proves the strength of c' my argument." The court smiled d broadly, but inughed outright when the y opposing counsel promptly replied: | "The learned counsel's argument may " ne ail that He claims for it, but It fell ie i to the ground." is, ^ Pitying Ourcclves. 0I Have you hoard of the man carry on the bank of a river, and seating } himself by them, said: "I am sick and t tired of this.
