WAR AND FAMINE.

The liberality of the American
people is being tested by an unusual
and singular condition of affairs.
Thousands and thousands of men.
women and children are barely sub
sisting, possibly, starving in Russia.
They are called peasants in contra
distinction of the nobility, God save
the expression), and the officials,
but they are human beings and en-
titled to sympathy and aid. For
these poor people, Russia cannot
provide, and from our land Of the
free, kindly succor is goinglby large
steam ships. That is one side of
Russia. On the other hand, the Gar
is adding to his army, he is concen-
trating soldiers, food and supplies in
Poland, and running the factories
for guns and ammunition day and
night. Now, if the government can
do this for the purpose of killing,
why not feed the starving! 1t is a
strange relation of affairs that has
supplies for war and none for the
starving. But the poor and help
less are not to blame.

had to get a supply of the quills and

nothing to do with the pen making or

A House in a Bottle.

Some years ago blind boy residing
in Chicago constructed a miniature
house inside an ordinary four-ounce
bottle. The building was made up of
forty pieces of wood all neatly fitted
and glued together. AS wonderful as
this may seem, it is only a part of the
wonders of this sightless lad. After
completing the house and giving it
finishing touches" to his hearts con-
tent, he sat about fastening the cork in
the bottle, but how he accomplished
the startling feat is a mystery to this
day. Inside the bottle, below the neck,
small wooden peg is driven through
the cork, the ends of the peg extending
far enough on either side to prevent the
cork being removed from the bottle
without its lower end being torn off.
The boy himself is unable to explain
how he accomplished this last and
most astonishing piece of handiwork.-

A Poets Great Discoveries.

Wonderful, is 1t not, that two of the greatest truths of nature should have been first discovered by poet, who was not scientist at all?" said the professor. 'sIt was Goethe whose genius inspired fact of botany, since recognized, namely, that each plant has but two parts-leaf and stem. The reproductive portions pistil, petal, stigma, calyx and corolla- are only modified leaves. Now and then, as if for the very purpose of prov ing this proposition, a green reseis, de- veloped with leaf-like petals, and it is the same way with other things vege- tab1e-they all revert occasionally to their primitive forms.
 ''The other grand discovery made by Goethe was in the philosophy of the anil mal kingdom. One day, while walking through the fields, he came upon the skeleton of beast that had died. A practical anatomist, If he had paused to consider the remains, would have dis cussed with himself merely the relation of the bones, but the poet viewed the whole framework of the animal that had been with the enlarged vision of 8 the orist. While doing so the fact dawned upon him, recognized at this later day by science, that the skull of the creature was, after all, only an enlarged vertebra, or expanded section of the backbone. The conclusion immediately followed that the brain was but 8 magnifed DOT ton of the spinal cord.
 s.Thus was new diSovery in the phi losophy of nature first hit upon. Science now recognizes 1t as truth. Just as the flower is only a leaf modified faxte-. productive purposes, so the brain is sim ply an extremity of the spinal cord exfoliated into an elaborate, highly con voluted organ of thinking. - Washing ton Star.

Too Honest.

Over in Missouri there is certain plank road and certain tollgate. Be- side the tollgate there is farmhouse, on the cool and comfortable porch whereof the worthy farmer usually sits, waiting to collect toll. while his boy Bill blows his corn in the field away be- yond. On a certain recent occasion, however, this worthy farmer happened to be over in the field helping his boy Bill, when pious looking stranger drove up to the tollgate. There was no one in the farmhouse, no one nearer than the farmer and his boy Bill, half a mile away in the field. The tongate was unlocked open, in fact-but this pious stranger was temptation proof. He hitched his horse to tree and proudly foundered out to where the farmer and his boy Bill were at work.
