EARLY in the war, before Lee had
demonstrated his pre- emipence as the
southern leader, he was severely criti-
cised on more than one occasion by a
certain General Whiting. Whiting had
stood at the head of his class at West
Point, and was considered, not only by
himself, but by others. as very bright
and capable man.
One day President Davis, wishing an
officer for some highly important COM
mand, called upon General Lee for ad-
vice.
"what do you think Of whitingf"
asked Davis.
Lee answered without hesitation,
commencing Whiting as one Of the
ablest men In the army, we'll qualified
in every way for even the most respon-
sible position. One Of the officers pres
emit was greatly surprised, and at the
first opportunity drew Lee aside.
"Don't you know what unkind things
Whiting has been saying about your" he
inquired.
Lees answer was Of the best.
II understood, he said, THAT the
president desired to know my opinion Of
Whiting. not Writings opinion Of me. I"

Few Americans appreciate the vass
ertent of our national domain, said
Colonel Charles &. Moifsrt OF Denver,
10 the Buffalo Courier. II firmly be-
lieve that some day in The near future
we'll have air lines Of transportation
between all points--either up in the air
OF otherwise. I'm bound for New York,
and I'd save 12 hours' travel if l could
go in q straight line from Denver TO
New York. For instance, the air line
distance between Chicago and New York
Is 200 miles: by rail II is 90I miles.
From Buffalo TO New York it is 300
miles in an air line, 422 miles by rail
Why, our country is So great that the
public lands here exceed in the number
OF square miles the whole Of Russia in
Europe. The state Of Texas is much
larger than Austria. Germany or France !;
New Mexico is larger than England,
Ireland. Scotland and Wales combined:
Montana is larger than Norway. Mis-
souri, is larger than Turkey in Europe.
Kentucky is larger than Portugal. West
Virginia is larger than Greece, Arizona
Is as large as Italy, Indiana is twice as
large as Switzerland, and Wyoming and
Oregon are us large as Spain. In the
event Of a successful war of conquest
with Great Britain. or by annexation,
if the United States should become pos
sessed of Canada. it would add 3,204,
sls square miles Of territory to the great
republic, and our total area would then
be q. 807,37l square miles. We would
still be one-third smaller than the Rus
sian empire and ope-third larger than
the Chinese empire. "

An ,nseot Curiosity Shop.

Properly considered. beehive is a
wonderful shop. and each individual in
sect is curiosity. The inhabitants of a
hive are classed as dror es, workers and
queen. The queen is the mother Of every
insect in the hive, unless she has been
installed instead Of queen who has
died and left the hive without a mis-
tress. This queen bee is the wonder of
the whole insect tribe, as far as egg lay
ing is concerned, often depositing 1000
eggs day for days in succession during
tho most productive season.
The chief wonder connected with the
worker bee is the Admirable manner in
which his body is shaped and fitted with
instruments for honey gathering. These
natural instruments consist of cups.

Sunday Laws.

The Waterman of Boston says the no.
tion "that Sunday laws are of Puritan
origin betrays disposition to make a
point rather than accurate historical
knowledge The Huguenots from France
enacted them in South Carolina, and the
cavaliers from the court of Charles in
Virginia. The very first statue passed by
the cavaliers Of Virginia provided that
he who did not attend church on Sun
day should pay fine Of two pounds Of
tobacco. This was the first law ever en-
acted in the United States and was
passed in 1917, three years before the
pilgrims landed at Plymouth.
