GOOD PUZZLE TO WORK OUT
Occupation In Enforced Idleness la
Good Teat 6f One's Knowledge
of the Bible.
Evidently the matter of occupation
when one Is confined Indoors is a
problem to the Swiss as well as to
other people. The Bonne Revue comes
forward with an answer to the ques
tion: "What are we to do Indoors?"
Instead of bemoaning the Inclement
weather It says people should solve
the following problem:
Divide the number of Job's camels
before they were captured by the
Chaldeans fry the number of men sent
to take Jeremiah out of the dungeon;
add to the quotient the number of
lords entertained at Balthazar's feast.
Subtract from the sum the number of
Just persons who cduld have saved
Sodom. Multiply by David's age when
he commenced to reign. Divide by the
number of Philistines that Samson
slew with the ass's jawbone. Sub
tract the number of Solomon's songs;
multiply -by the number of days dur
ing which Job did not speak to his
frlendB. Subtract the number of fish
taken in the miracle of Jesus fishing.
Add to the result the number of
prophets hidden by Abdlas. Subtract
the number of ungrateful lepers healed
by Jesus, and you will have a mys
terious figure contained in the Apo*
calypse.
Logic cf Phoclon.
Why tell me that a man is a fine
speaker if it is not the truth that he is
Bpeaking? Phoclon, who did not speak
at all, was a great deal nearer hitting
the mark than Demosthenes.
He used to tell the AthenlansT-"You
can't fight Philip. You have not the
slightest chance with him. He is a
man who holds his tongue; he has
great disciplined armies; he can brag
anybody you like in your cities her;
and he is going on steadily with an
unvarying aim toward his object; and
he will infallibly beat any kind of
men such a* you, going on raging from
ahore to shore with all that rampant
nonsense."
Demosthenea said to him one day
? "The Athenians will get mad some
day and kill you." Yea, Phoclon said,
"When they are mad; and you as soon
as they get sane again." ? Thomas
Carlyle.
Original Confidence Man.
A story Is told of old New York
and of how the expression "confidence
man" meant a man In whom one could
not place confidence at all. It Is said
-that some years ago a very well
dressed man with a courteous ad
dress was wont to walk up and down
the principal streets of the city.
Whenever he met a stranger who
looked hopeful to him he would ap
proach the man and with the most
delightfully frank manner he would
ask;
"My dear sir. have you confidence
enough in me, an entire stranger to
you, to lend me $5 for an hour or
two?"
And it is said that the man made
an extremely good living by this Ttry
simple meanB.'
Salaries of Nsval Officers.
The pay of commissioned officers In
the navy varies with Tank and length
of service, and there are numerous
other factors which must be taken in
to account.* The amount received in
individual cases may be worked out
by a ptudy of the regulations cdfc
talned in th* Navy Register, whtcjh is
obtainable In any well-equipped public
Mbrnry. Tho commundor of a vessel
of the naval auxiliary service would
not be corrcctly called a "captain,"
tout "master." -Tho rates of pay of
this class of officers aro not set forth

RUSSIA'S REAL YLLLOW PERIL

pear in human vhape. It cornea in a
much more dangerous end Insinuating
form than MoiikoI Invasion. Slowly
but surely It In advancing upon um and
Its vanguard haa already reached the
gates of k i. ff"
Thus apoka some yeara ago, Vladi
mir Solovltch, the well-known Russian
aclentlat, who fo^ejyaw the danger to j
Russian ur,i i< mi it ur .? of the drifting I
masses of sand which are being steud
lly blown across Home of the moHt '
fertile parts of Southern ftttllll.
The urgent nature of the danger ia
once more omphasl/ed by General j
Mistchenko,' the commandor-lmchlef i
of the Don Cossacks, who haa made I
a report to the St. Petersburg govern
ment in which iio points out that
every year 1,000 square miles of fertllo
land in tin- i)<m Province and 1,500
square mileH in the government of
Aatrakhun are' being awallowed up by
the Invader and rendered unfit for
cultivation.
During the paat year, the drifting
maaaeB have done tho greatest damage
within living memory. One largo agri
cultural colony in the Don region haa
had to emigrate In a westward direc
tion for the fourth time in fifty yeftl*.
General Mistchenko urgently advo
cates afforestation as the only way
to atem tho spread of the aand plague.
The cost, it is figured, would only
amount to a fraction of the $7 50,000
which Is now lost every year to Rua

BECAME A DISGRACE TO KIN
8cotch Collies Reverted to Wild State
When Imported Into Patagonia
and Argentina.
Some years ago the shepherds of
Patagonia and 4rKen^na imported a
large number of Scotch collies into
those countries to help herd the sheep.
But imagination seemed to spoil the
companionable, affectionate and intel
ligent dog from the Highlands. In
two or three years hts entire - nature
changed and he became Independent,
snappish, sly and disobedient. Bad
treatment' may have had something
to do with It, but by twos and threes
the collies rapidly deserted the flocks
and took to the woods, where they
"soon became wild dogs. ~
They have Increased so fast and
become so fierce In both countries
that not only do they carry off small
animals and fowls, but have grown
so bold that they do noj. hesitate to
attaok travelers even In broad day
light. They travel In packs, and when
hunted scatter to hiding places in
the- rocks. The Patagonian and Ar
gentine governments have offered
bounties for every wild dog's bruBh,
and wlille the war of extermination
may deplete both national treasuries
the only effect it has had on the col
lies has been to make them keep to
cover during the diy; Every shep
herd goes afmed and keeps a constant
lookout, but shooting has not de
creased their numbers, and poison has
been tried without success, as they
are too shrewd to eat anything set
folr them.
Conflict Bismarck Forgot.
The smallest of Europe's sovereign
state, Liechtenstein, which is pre
paring to celebrate the second cen
tury of its independence, has a mon
arch and a parliament, but no taxes
a^d no army, the Westminster Ga
zette states. Its finances are provid
ed by its Prince John II., who in re
turn nominates three of Its fifteen
M. P.'s. At the time of the Austro
Prussian war the principality sided
with Austria and mobilized an army
of 100 -of all ranks to share- in the
fighting. But Liechtenstein's army
never smelt fire and Liechtenstein
itself was quite overlooked In the
peace negotiations at the end of the
war. Fifteen years later Bismarck
discovered that his country was still
technically at war with this miniature
state, and In strict accordance with
the etiquette of such things pourpar
lers took place and a formal treaty of
peace w&s signed between the two
countries.
Cosmopolitan London.
A man with nothing useful to do j
took a walk on Aldwych and Kings- -
way the other day and counted noses. ]
As a result he writes to a newspaper
exploiting the "cosmopolitanism of j
London.
He says that in 15 minutes he en
countered: One Arab In flowing burn
ous and white turban, two Turks in
frock coats, and tar touches, seven ob- ;
vlous Americans and probably more i
who were not obvious, a couple of j
Danes wearing Alexandra Day roses j
and talking volubly in their native j
tongue; a lascar; two Indian students j
with gold spectacles; an alert Japa- :

Food for Reflection.
In Los Angeles the other day a shop- J
girl wits hurrying to-her work wtren ?
her hat blew off and an automobile
ran oyer it, , She got permission from
her employer to go back, and on the |
way met three men," one of whomwaax
carrying the wrecked hat. As he re
turned it he gave the glr) a $20 bllA
The other men "chipped In" $15
apiece. Thereupon the gtrl ,vent at
once and bought a $50 hat. "I've al
ways wanted one like that," she said, t
with a smile, "but I never dreamed I :
should have one." There are several
