Philosophy at the Front. War, apparently, is a great trainer in eligibility . for the "Don't Worry" club. Owen JTohnson, back from the French lines, reports that "the prin-I cipal occupations of the soldiers when not in the trenches are eating and sleeping--not worrying about the war. A visitor in France hears more hearty laughter in an hour at the front than In a week behind the lines." Soldiers must take things as they come and ,give little thought to what is coming if they would be anything1 but absolutely miserable. That neces ity is mother of the philosophy .wnich takes little thought of the mor row or the next minute.-Buffalo En quirer. HistorIc Houses. The Grange, the country seat of Alexander Hamilton, occupied by him 3802-04, is still standing. It has been moved from its original location, the west side of the present Convent ave nue, between One Hundred and Forty second and One Hundred and Forty third streets, to One Hundred and F'orty-first street and Convent avenue, next to St. Luke's church. The Fred erick Phillipse house is not standing. We can find no record to identify any house occupied by George Nash. Fraunces' tavern, now owned by the Sons of the Revolutidn, has been re stored in a measure to its original de sign, and the famous "Long' room," .where Washington took farewell of his officers, remains intact. PursuIng Mental Hygiene. Believing that many persons at pres ent confbned in institutions for mental defectives could be Completely cured if more humane methods of treatment were used, the Rockefeller foundation will conduct an investigation this win ter into the custody and treatment of nsane in state institutions, according to part four of its annual report. it will be the plan of the foundation to obtain a universal system of han iling 'mental defective cases. Dr. Thomas W.~ Salmon of the United States public health service has ob taed a leave of absence from the government to take charge of the .vork. He wvill be responsible to the ntional committee for mental hiy giene, which is composedl of trustees of the foundation. Rich - Manchurian Coal Fields.

That fanliar things have different lames in !er'e4 countries was dis ,overed by an, ,Eglisbman while he ras visiting4 (Jnited States. Thus 10 tells the ory of the watermelons: I was eging dinier in an eastern ,ity, and faw on the menu, "Watermel M." We have watermelons in Eng. and, but they are what you in Amer ca call "muskmelons." Therefore I ,alled the waiter and said: "Bring me wo watermelons." The dusky waiter's eyes grew large, nd he .protested: "But, sal, you don't want two wa ahmelons!" I am not accustomed to have waiters .011 me what.I want. I knew perfect y well what I wanted. I Paw some people at the next table smile at each fther, and I was vexed. Therefore I replied to the waiter with much dig aity: "I want two watermelons." The waiter seemed about to protest again, but thought better of it, and went away. While he was gone, I looked round and found everyone with in hearing distance smiling curiously. Looking further, I saw another waiter setting down before another man a plate containing an immense round of something green outside and bright red within. Then I spied my own waiter returning, bearing on each up lifted palm an immense green oval. io wonder the people smiled! The smile was about to become 6 laugh. I thought I would die! Then an idea .ame to me! When the waiter reached my place, I looked at his burden quite ludicially, tapped each of those ele phantine "watermelons," and then gave my order in a calm, decided tone: "Bring me a slice from this one." kouth's Companion. No Time for Courtesy. "I noticed," said the husband, "you lidn't say 'thank you' to the man who gave you his seat in the car this eve ling."

MADE POUQEUNW0K Philadelphia Bluecoat had Job Rounding Up Goats. Youthful "Shepherd" Had Negpoted I His Duty, and the Guardians of the Peace Were Called 'on to, fleve Distreo. Must . policeman in the faithful. per iormance of duty chase stray. billy goats? Must he round up 1ot "nan nies" and carry them to The station house, so they won't eat rubber plants on Blue hill? The quetidn "IhAs'the goat" of all the policemen, in Ger mantown and Chestnut Hili-Tsnd there's a reason. *1 Likewise the goats that graze on the greensward of an Italian colony in Cosgrove street, off Haines - atr4et, "have the goat" of many residents of Germantown and Chestnut Hill.. Recently the police have been .irri tated by telephone calls from irate householders telling how goats were chewing up the landscape. Matters came to a climax when Mrs. 'Helen Carr of 450 Cosgrove street telephoned to the Germantowln golfee station that her daughter could -not go to school because she was afraid to venture where the goats wQuld shove her off, the sidewalk and chew up aWr dress. The police decided to suppreba the goats then and there. i ,patrot wagon loaded to the gunwals started for the goats. The policemen knew where the goats belonged. They knew that Fe lix Puscano, 616 Haines street, kept the goats for the milk they gave for the poor people of the Italian colony, And the policemen heaped maledic tions upon the head of Joe Puscano, the seven-year-old shepherd of the herd, whose duty it was to keep the goats off the lawns. After half an hour's exercise the po licemen got the eight goats into the police wagon and took them to the station house on East Haines street. They were locked up in horse stalls, like any other prisoners. Came an hour later Felix and his shepherd son, begging for the goats. It was supper time and the colony wanted its daily rations of goats' milk. After much parley the "billies" were released-under bail to keep the peace. --Philadelphia Public Ledger. TOO MUCH FOR THE WORM Combination of Silver and Copper Makes its imprisonment a Most Effective One. A strange and amvuing experiement is described by G. Hugo in the .Elec trical Experimenter, as follows: Place a copper coin on a silver coin; the former should be at least three sixteenths of an inch smaller all around than the latter. A cent and a half-dollar will do; an English half penny and a silver dollar will do bet ter, because they are larger. On the copper coin place an ordinary earth worm and watch it try to crawl off. It cannot do it, for the instant Its damp body, which is in contact wvith the copper, touches the silver it starts a current of electricity that gives it a shock. Trho shock makes the worm recoil. It tries again, but each time its head touches the silver 'it gets the shock and Boon finds it is more com fortable to stay on the copper coin. Of course the current thus produced is very slight, but it is quito enough for the worm. Problem for the Court. A perplexing problem in bovine ju risprudence recently taxed the legal attainments of local jurists, says the Portland Oregonian. A hull and an automobile tried to occupy the same space at the same time, in conse quence of which the bull went td his final reward to ap~pear~ before the great high court whence no appeals lie, while the owner appeared before a more mundane tribunal, claiming damages. The theory of the defense was that the collision having occurred at night the bull was guilty of contrib utory negligence in slot having lights. The plaintiff promptly pointed out that the bull had no horns to serve as chan deliers. Thereupon the defendant In sisted that tail lights should have been furnished. Charles J. Schnabel and Z. B. Ofner, attorneys for the plain tiff, immediately called the court's at tention to the fact that the bull had two bull's eyes, which served the same purpose, in which view Judge Joseph H. Jones concurred. Hygiene in the Army. The Japanese in their wvar with Russia made it a rule that soldiers should take special caro in keeping cleani their uiniforms~ anid that they shudbathe as often as convenient, before an engagementl. Surgeons have often praised the excellent re suits obtahined by the Japanese sur geons in keeping down the death rate (due to infectious9 disssO.
