How much knitting has boon going on in this town khe past few months I In nearly every household there has boen knitting In progress ? knitting sweaters^ wristlets, abdominal bauds, socks and . all things that tho viclssl tildes of a soldier ndght desire. But it has been one vision of gray, betok ening the gray of life, a vision of se rene sadness. It should not be so. There should be a little color In the knitting. The Red Cross advises It. We copy from an exchange: "If you are knitting socks for sol diers, put a little of red in them ? It's the little touch of sentiment that keeps a man cheered up. In the trenches there is a pet superstition that n soldier who has a red stripe in his socks will never be hit by bullets. Also It is easier for a soldier to keep his socjfs in pairs if they are marked with a bit of color near the top." That Is good doctrine. Any color so It Is red will do, Is an old doctrine that will fit In happily with the sol dier knitting. Put a little sentiment in it, sisters. ? Columbus (O.) State Journal. Horse Appreciated It.

WHEN GANDER "TOOK CHARGE Housed Hla Flock ' Every Night to Escape the Foxes, Relieving Owner of Job. W, II. Hudson's "Adventures Among Birds," contains this ptory of genliM nwertlng itself : ? U>n a certain small island on the const of Norway the geese used to congregate every year in large num bers, ahd here one autumn some years ago a goose was caught by the leg in u 8 tee I tnip set for a fox. The Keeper from a distance saw the whole vast gathering of geese rise up and circle round and round in a cloud, with a tre mendous outcry, and when he got to the s|>ot he found the bird struggling violently in the trap, lie took It home 10 a larger Island cTosO by, whore his master, my Informant's friend, had a farm. From that day the wild geese never settled on the islet, which they had used as a resting place for many years. The. bird he had accidentally caught was an old gander, and its leg was broken; but the keeper sot to work to repair the injury, and after bind ing It up he put the bird into an out house, and eventually It got quite well, lie pinioned it and put1 It out with the other birds. A little while before the old gander had been caught the foxes became so troublesome at the farm that It was found necessary to shut up itll the birds every night In luclosures and houses made for the purpose ; and as the birds preferred to be out, the keeper hau to spend a good (\e?l of time every evening In collecting and driving thehi In. Now, bo fore the old wild goose had b#en able to go about many days with the others it was noticed that he was acquiring a kind of mastery over them, and that every day as evening ap proached he begun to try to lead, and falling in that, to drive, them to the Inclosures and buildings. The keeper curious to see how far this would go begun to relax his efforts, and as his efforts slackened the gander's zeal Increased, until he was left to do the whole work himself; all the keeper had to do was to fco round himself and shut the doors. Thnt state of things has now continued for some years, and the old wild gooee was the acknowl edged leader and mostcr of oil the birds on the farm. ? 'Youth's Com panion. When "Old Women" Abounded. Hugh StvJ^s. an English writer, bus made a study^fiT social manners In the dnys of Fox, Sheridan, Horace Wnl pole, Gibbon and Dr. Samuel Johnson, In which he portrays "The Glorious Georgiana," duchess of Devonshire, whom he makes a most entertaining character in touch with the top of Eng lish and French aristocracy. He tells us In the Devonshire Home Circle that In the eighteenth century women soon grew old ; that at the age of twenty nine Marie Antoinette, the wife of Louis XVI, gravely discussed the ques tion with, her modiste. Hose Bertln. She would soon be thirty. No one would dare acquaint her of her increasing years. Her idea was to change het manner of dress, which inclined too much to that of extreme youth. In consequence she should wear no more flowers or feathers. The Glorious Georgiana complained to the French ambassador that she was already seven and twenty years old. "Consider," said the glorious one, "what an age that Is!" To which the ungallant am bassador replied that "In France at seven and twenty a woman was consid ered elderly." I Debt a Matter of Habit. "Getting oOt of debt Is a matter of cnrlng anougb ? in most cases," saya a ' writer in the Home Companion. "I put in the qualifying clause advisedly. I know that there are families where 111 health, and dependent relatives and business reverses have piled one upon another, where debt Is Hlpiply unavoid able. But in most cases, I repeat, debt Is habit, Just as saving money is habit. I know twenty families whose experi ence has- been the same as Jim's and mine, so far as the debt part Is con cerned. Most of them have even larg er incomes than we ; most of them are firttll in debt, rind always will J>e. Sitn ply because they havp formed the hab it of living today on tomorrow's pay check. Simply because they don't care enough to get out." - . 8hlps From Many Land*. T}ie volume of shipping at the port of Philadelphia la the greatest in the history oif '{he city.
