CHIVALRY NATURAL TO HIM , Brave Act of Virginian Soldier in France Had its Counterpart in j ?Deed of General Lee. It was not often that the soldier ! boy would talk at all of those days In France, but one evening he had i been telling his uncle and some of j ' the lads who had dropped in of the j rescue of Parade Rest. Parade Rest was the company's i mascot, a rather nondescript dog, of Ho marked intelligence but devoted to and beloved by the boys, who had given him this sobriquet because of the position in which he always stood, with one foot turned out. One day at Chateau Thierry he had been left behind in a dugout, but had followed the boys, and at a moment when there was a lull in. the advance, there, a tempting target for the enemy, silhouetted against the glare, stood Parade jp Rest (ITi. J. li. - 1_ ..11 11 XX UOC5U L SWII1 UlUCIl IU leu liuw, the soldier said, looking over the quiet little group on the home porch, thousands of miles away from that battlefield, "but it was some stunt. My buddie dashed out among the falling thrapnel and bursting shells and seized Parade Rest so quickly we couldn't tell how it was done." "Where was your buddie from?" inquired one of the boys in the group. At the answer "From Virginia," the soldier boy's uncle smiled, a reminiscent, comprehending smile. "He was only repeating an act of one of the greatest of Virginians, my lads," the old man began, and then the , ;little group remembered that here in v their midst was a veteran of that war of the Blue and the Gray. "For one day, during the long siege of Petersburg, General Lee, in his effort to encourage his men, took up a most dangerous position on the front ^ lines. But having been cautioned and later besought, he retired to the rear. Only a few minutes later, however, seeing some fledglings fall from their nest to the battlefield, he rode out Jinnped from his horse, and restored tfiem to safety. It was done very quickly but not so quickly but that tiie general, on his well-known gray horse, was visible to the enemy. But - the enemy did not fire upon him in &-V that act.**?Christian Science Monitor. # Running No Risks.

By force of industrial circumstances an odd and interesting kind of internationalism appears in the report that Hongkong factories are knitting with a mixture of Japanese and American yarns. An estimate for the current year is that American yarns to the value of about one million gold dollars will come into Hongkong and go out again all over the far East in * knitted articles, the bulk of them made of American yarns but a considerable part of American and Japanese yarns mixed. People in North China, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines, and in smaller number in South America and Europe will thus be going about in what might be called "American-Japanese hosiery 'made in China.*** Orator Not Dependent John Bright's notes for a speech were written on a visiting card. Lord Asquith is the authority for this statement, but it does not appear quite to harmonize with Bright's recorded practice of using several half-sheets in the case of important speeches. He certainly was not dependent on his notes, however, being always able to repeat verbatim any of the sentences which, owing to the applause which greeted them, had been inaudible to the press. On one occasion the wind played havoc with his half-sheets, which he had laid on top ef his hat But he picked them up, sorted them unconcernedly, and went ool \ * V . . _ BIBLES IN STRANGE BINDINGS ! | Almost No Limit to Variety of Cover* j ings That Have Been Afforded the Scriptures. MA Bible zoo" sounds most puzzling, but it is nothing more startling than a collection of Bibles bound in the skins of a great variety of animals. We so often find that when a man's life is given to any particular work he is apt to be interested in the curious side of this same work. It is small wonder then that the king's printers of England should have a collection of Bible curiosities. There are many Bible readers who delight in having their own particular Bible bound in a binding that is out of the ordinary. Hence not only the usual animals have been requisitioned for their skins, but the unusual ones as well?reptiles, fish and beasts of prey. Often these Bibles are used for Christmas gifts. It is strange to think of a huntsman in the wilds of Asia killing the bear, or a sailor in some northern sea catching the seal, that gives the skin with which a Bible shall be eventually bound to grace the desk of some fastidious woman or an eccentric millionaire. Yet such is often the case, and rather expensive luxuries they are. One Bible is covered with a long, thick, soft hair, so shaggy that the shape of the book is hidden. This was taken from no less a beast than a grizzly bear. Another is made from the skin of a serpent, which seems not at all inappropriate when we recall that'to the Oriental the serpent has always been the symbol of wisdom. A gray, beaded surface, quite resembling glass, is presented by another binding which upon inquiry we find came from a man-eating shark. Delicate, indeed, is the soft, snowy, fluffy cover given by a white lamb. There is a badger Bible and a skunk Bible, the latter looking for all the world like a lady's muff. After a moment's study we recognize in a reddish-brown binding the skin of a squirrel. The Persian sheep, the Himalaya sheep and other foreign varieties of the family have been called upon to furnish Bible coverings. Goat skin tanned is morocco leather. But there are some people who like a bind* fit iV. -c U Jm ing wiin uie lur ltrn im uxe an.iix. n ia a fine shaded gray and seems substantial. But most curious of all Is a Bible bound in the skin of a giraffe. Of course, no more delightful binding can be imagined than seal. And even though none of us might care for Bibles bound in any of these curious covers for our Christmas gifts, still it is interesting to learn what a , few of the "other half of the world" delight in. Hilda, Abbess of Whitby. In 1915 the world held its breath, mute with horror. The Zeppelins had swooped down over Whitby, on the coast of Yorkshire. A cry of vengeance w<ent up when it was learned that half of the ancient abbey of Whitby had been destroyed. Founded In the seventh century, it was Hilda's abbey. The majestic ruins through all the ages could be seen as you climbed the quaint little seaside town of Whitby, its red-tiled houses seeming to lead directly and only to that abbey on the heights. Hilda was a princess of the blood royal, but early dedicated herself to the religious life. King Oswy gave her a grant of land and she erected the celebrated convent, or abbey, of Whitby. Of her sanctity and of her learning the men in high places in church and state who sought her advice and prayers attest in full measure. Caedmon, the earliest English poet, tarried in the monastery for monks which she erected near her own convent to reform the religious life of friars. The famous council of Whitby was held in the monastery. Could not fho Z?nn?linR have snared the sacred i and almost perfect ruins of a holy spot like Whitby abbey??Chicago'Journal i Increased Use of Coffee. Whether prohibition has or has not increased the use of coffee, it is at least a fact that the people of the United States are now consuming more coffee than has been their custom and are paying far greater sums for it than ever before. A statement by the National City bank of New Tork shows that the quantity of coffee brought into the United States in the calendar year 1919 will probably be greater than ever before, notwithstanding the fact that the cost is about three times as much a pound as formerly. The imports for the ten months ending with October approximate 1,140,000,000 pounds, against 940,000,000 pounds in the same months of lajjt year, and 1,122,000,000 bounds in the corresponding months ol 1917, the former high record years in importation. Reorganizing Chilean Army. * ?rtlnnfi fnr 9 fniw Ilium iiinmcu l. va. w . Cher reorganization of the Chilean army has recently been made by the minister of war. The plans are to operate along three distinct lines. First, an organisation of a number of civilian bodies is to be made for the purpose of stimulating interest in and development of military aeronautics. Second, an attempt is to be made to increase the standing army to 28,000. Third, a number of military railways are to be built which are to have strategic character. To aid in bringing about the latter a number of Japanese military railroad authorities have been retained. Gasoline Locomotives Now. Gasoline locomotives that are safe to use in coal mines have been invented in England, their ignition taking placo inside of tight boxes and their exhaust through water.
