A man stood on U?t> center of a cultivated quarter acre, a scuffle hoe In It I h lutm!. Before htm stretched an army of beets, their tiles Jollied with a growth of weeds, evil and In sinuating, like Maximalists. Two months ago this man had hud the Keren sky spirit, hut the weeds seem ed too much for him now. Every shower brought VP new hutches of them. Behind him long rows of let* tuce were going to seed. On his right the hills of potatoes, fertilised, hoed and sprayed, oqw were wilting before their time under a blight as mysterious and unfair as poison gas. The heat rolled u|i the garden slope like the gmy waves at V?rdun, but Irresistibly.

On the yel low, dusty road that led to Pickerel pond uothlng stirred until the rural delivery carrier's horse showed his heud above the hill, a silhouette against the burning blue sky. The grass In the orchard was high. It could be scythed and piled about the trees as a mulch, but for what Immcdlute purpose when the peaches, victims of another blighting mystery, hung like mummies? A creaking of the well chain made the hoeman turn toward the house. The mall carrier had driven In to get drink for his horse and himself. He( waved a letter to the man with the hoe. "Hefe It is !" ho called out. "Here's your notice to report on the first call." Then he added, as If fearing to shock ; "but you won't have to go. You're a farmer." The man whirled his hoe about hlft head like a hammer-thrower and sent it whizzing toward the barn. He looked about him at the travail of his field. "The devil I'm a farmer!" he shout ed.

The peculiarly fraternal sentiment of the Indian Ghurka regiments to ward the Highland corps has long ago been Indicated by Kipling and was amply demonstrated again when the Ghurkas were In Prance. Quite as remarkable now Is the warmth of com radeship that exists between the Scots and the Australians. They "draw to each other" like old school fellows, and In those bigger towns behind the lines to which soldiers at long lntei* vals resort on a pass when the monot ony and squalor of trench or billet life make certain towns as fascinat ing as a metropolis. Highland bon nets and Australian sombreros gen erally go about In pairs. Isolated Scots troops who flnd themselves just now In the extensive area where Aus-' *" dnate the landscape are ascots, and the billy bolls with an enthusiasm no other occasion would engender. "You see. we understand each other, the Jocks and us," say the Austral ians ; "we have both the same Idea of a Joke." King Albert of Belgium has now added to his many experiences that of being the first monarch to make an airplane flight over hostile guns in ac tion. So far the kaiser has confined his air exploits to a modest trip in a Zeppelin In peace time. ? His brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, also had a little flight with Count Zeppelin In pre war days. Other prominent royalties who have been up in airships are King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and the queen of Sweden. In the English royal family several members made -airplane flights when flying machines were novelties, notably Princes George and Albert of Batten berg and the Princess Louise of Bat tenberg. Prince Leopold of Battenberg even went so far as to loop the loop, his pilot being none other than Gus tav Hammel.
