?Thew eainn to my notice while ?!??
Itlng the hospitals on the French front
an Incident that Illustrates the spirit
of the troops/' remarked Dr. H. J.
Bryan, an American pbyslctan. who
speut severs! months at the front.
**Too much prslse canhot be given the
young woinenjwho have gone from the
United States and Canada to 'do their
bit,' and, you may believe me, the Brit"
lah and French soldiers are grateful.
"A Canadian nurse, a beautiful girl,
was In chsrge of one of the wards at
Kataples. It was Cfcrlatmaa time, and
the young woman had worked un
ceasingly to mske the room ss attmo
tive as possible that the poor fellow*
lying on their cots might hsve a bit
of the Christmas spirit. All ths tim*
she was sttendlng to her duties aa a
nurse. She hsd put the last touoh oa
the Christmss decorations, had Sgea
that her convsleecents van comfort
able, snd In the early morning, weary
from hours of conatant vigil, aha COO*
tided to oae of her "boys' that she waa
very tired snd would rest.
"An hour lster the nuree returned,
and to her #irprlse she found a one
legged hero tapping around the roopi
making up the beds. He had Just
finished the last one when the nurse
entered. Her doty, of course, was ta
scold, but the psthetlc fsce of the
wounded aoldler, turned upon her with
a look of supreme satisfaction, melted
the words on her Hps. and, woman
like. she burst Into tears. This young
woman afterward married a Scotch
officer, whom aha had. nursed, and the
happy pair are living In Dorset, In
Knglsnd." . ?
New York's Mental D*f?otivM.
There are 80,000 iivental defectives
In New York atate and It will take
$12,600,000 adequately to provide for
them, says the state board of charltlea
In it* fiftieth annual report. But 0.740
of these defectives are in asylums or
other Institutions and of this number
the state has accommodatlona for 0,000
but more than 1,000 more are crowded
into the shelter of the wards.
The board says it is getting appeals
every day from orphan asylums, school
autborKJgwr, poor law officials and
courts begging for proper places in
which to keep feeble-minded children
who need custodial care.
The sum of $2,000,000 is asked for
the completion of the Letchworth vil
lage colony, near New York city, to
increase the capacity from 300 in
mates to 8,000 Inmates.
The annual appropriation of $2,500,
000 is urged until the state has built
up its asylum capacity. The board In
nine months of the last fiscal year re
ceived $2,530,888 for state institutions
with 11,392 Inmates, and expended $2.
498,141, of which $742,349 was for
buildings and improvements. The pri
vate institutions under public super
vision, with 8,298 inmates, got from
public sources $698,362, from private
sources $484,908 and spent $1,133,654.
Thoughts Mold Character.
Learn to think caTTesSlynEmd deeds
In kind will soon follow. Remember
what you think enters into the molding
of your charcter. Men who permit the
mind to dwell on the sensuous soon
And themselves on the way to ruin.
Men with high Ideals and determina
tions move steadily upward. Somehow
the world Just makes way for them.
In this busy old world you Just must
keep going. What the mind dwells on
most toill determine the direction and
speed at which you go. You must
think in terms of vision. See the great
and aim to realise it. Even If the thing
is beyond your present reach, the fact
that you try fits you for the good you
are bound to come to later if you keep
trying. You must think well of your
self also. That's part of the program.
Unless you can respect yourself as a
workman you will have trouble com
manding the respect of others. Be
particular about your thinking,?Ex
change.
Ant Cows.
Ants are frequently noted on roses
and on other ornamental and garden
plants, and it Is naturally supposed
that they are doing harm to these. As
a matter of fact, it Is not the plants
that attract the ants, but plant lice.
These tiny creatures excrete a sweet
liquid of which ants are very fond
and which they collect without injur
ing the plant lice. For this reason
plant lice are frequently termed "ant
cows." The analogy is emphasized by
the fact that ants have been known to
take plant lice lqto their nests, shel*
ter them through the winter and ro?
turn them to suitable plants in thS
spring, very much as men a*fe accus
tomed to feed and shelter cows
throughout the winter, putting them on
pasture with the coming o$the spring.
Clearing the Trenches.
Perhaps the hardest thing to learn ts
to clear the enemy's trenches after a
foothold has been gained in a portion
of It. This is where the hand-to-hand
fighting comes in and it Is the work of
the grenadiers, seconded by the gren
ade bearers. They must advance from
embrasure to embrasure tep yards
ahead of them into the next section of
trench and drive the enemy back along
the trench or down Into the dugouts.
As they move forward, they must dear
the dugouts, throwing grenades down
the steep stairs, often twenty to thirty
yards underground, then descending
into the pitchy blackness to send their
grenades searching into every corner
of the dugout, not to leave an effective
enemy behind them.
Wandering Mongeart Arabs
Dwell in Pastoral Simplicity.
OblIdr*n AttMd School Only If Thoy
With, and Ar* N?v?r Corrected?
Youth* May B? Considered
Men at Vory Karly A?#.
The Mongearts are a tribe of wan
dering AihIih which Inhabit the Huha^i.
or Or?'tti diMort of Africa. Their time
Is wholly occupied by tending their
cattle, and because they ure little
skilled In the use of arms, Mongeart Is
? term of contempt among the people
-bjr whom they are sutrouuded.
The Mahometan priests ars em
ployed lu traveling about the country
to Instruct the children. There Is
uothlug like force In the education of
a Mongeart boy. The little fellows meet
In th? morning, of their own accord,
at the place of Instruction, which is
to them a place of recreation.
They go there with a small board
lnNcrlbed with the Arabic characters
and u few maxims of the Koran.
The oldest and the best informed re
ceive their lessons directly from the
priests, and afterward communicate
them to their companions.
They are never corrected, because It
would be a crime to beat a child who,
according to their popular notions, has
not sufficient reason to distinguish
good from evil.
This lenity extends even to the chil
dren of Christians, though In a state of
slavery. They are treated In all re
spects like the children of Arabs, and
the man who should be rash enough to
strike one of them would endanger his
life.
Very different Is their treatment of
negro children, who may Indeed join In
all the amusements of the young
Arabs, and even attend the public
schools, but, if they be guilty of a fault
they are severely punished.
When the child of a Mongeart be
comes tired of the places of public in
struction, he quits them at pleasure,
and without feeling constraint or hear
ing reproach; goes and employs him
self In tending his father's flocks; and,
accordingly, there are very few among
them who can read. Those who perse
vere in the study of the Koran are
made prleuts, after having passed an
examination before the learned elders,
and enjoy the greatest public consid
eration. They have no need of cattle,
for those of the nation being theirs,
they find their subsistence everywhere.
It is generally at seven or eight years
of age that these children have their
heads shaved, nothing being left but
four locks of hair?one of which Is
cut off In a meeting of the family at
each remarkable action performed by
rhe child. If, at the age of twelve or
thjrteen, he kills a wild boar or other
beast of prey that should fall upon his
flock, he loses one of his locks. If, In
the passage of a river, a camel be car
ried away by the stream and he saves
It by swimming to its assistance, an
other Is cut off. If he kills a Hon, a
tiger or n warrior of a hostile nation in
a surprise or an attack, he Is consid
ered as~a man, and his head Is entirely
shaved.
Chinese "Knife Coins."
Can you Imagine a woman going into
a local department store, asking for a
camisole or a chemise or any one of
those hundred or more delicate things
that women wear, laying a dollar bill
on the counter, and receiving three
safety razor blades as change?
You can't. And yet, If the United
States treasury department would take
a tip from the Chinese that's about
how small change would stock up for
womankind and others, In America.
For practical purposes the Chinese
"knife coins" on exhibition at the
Old National Museum at Washington
can't be beaten. With a perfectly
formed razor, a colored man with carv
ing tendencies would only need a few
cents in "knife" change to be in a
paradise of his own making.
Luckily, museum officials say, the
"razor coins" are many thousands of
years old, and there Isn't any fear ex
pressed that the ancient style will be
adopted by the government.
Only Job That Would 8ult Him.
At one of the draft examinations an
irascible young man made It clear that
he did not care for any part of war.
? While surgeons w^re thumping him he
explained that he would not claim ex
emption but that he wished heartily
that the government had asked him to
do any service except fighting. He
hated fighting on any account.
A surgeon looking over his official
examination paper, noticed that the
young, man was a chauffeur.
"Well," the surgeon said, "It Is a
12-to-l shot that you will be driving
an ammunition wagon or something of
that sort. How would that do?" The
young man looked thoughtful. "The
only Job I'd like In war," he said,
"would be to operate a taxi for a re
treating general."
Drawing Closer to France.
One of the Interesting results of the
war is a proposal to make greater use
of French science and learning In this
country. One of the methods pro
lK>sed for doing this is to establish ten
or more graduate fellowships for
American students in French univer
sities. to be awarded competitively
for ten years. After the revelation
of the limitations of German profes
sors, a movement toward making
greater use of French universities
should rr?icce< ed. And no doubt, after
what America is doing. France would
welcome the Americans.

That in what thia community haa applied to this
store and we have stood the test. The reason we have
been able to bear this teat is, we have applied the same
teat to all of the lines of goods we handle.
In short, we handle nothing fhat we can not con
