A Pointed Reply.

Some little time ago Kaiser Wilhelm
was present at the enrolment of recruits
for one of his famous regiments of the
Guards. He walked along the lines,
speaking q word here, asking question
there. One recruit was asked: What
would you do if you We're on sentry duty
and many people crowd near your
4 should ask them to go away at once,
your majesty That's all very we'll,
said the Kaiser. but suppose one man
stays behind and makes himself a nuis-
ance to you what would you say then?''
Il should say, Don't make yourself a
nuisance, your majesty. The EN-
peror roared and said: Well, I dom t
mean to make myself a nuisance" and
so he passed on to another visitor

Nations Wealth in Gold Dollars.

The wealthiest nation of the world
is the United States. The census of
1890 shows the true valuation, or fair
selling price, of the real and personal
property of the country to be S6o,-
or. .091 1917. II is an increase of over
40 per cent. on the valuation of the
previous decade, and is about six times
the value of the money of the entire
world. The mind cannot grasp the
meaning of such figures without graph
ic illustration. This amount in gold
dollars would load 123, so cars, each
carving a ton If 1000 gold dollars
were piled one ON the other they would
form a stack three feet high. Make
similar piles close together till wall
of gold one mile long and worth 500
400. 000 is formed Increase this wall
to twenty-eight and a quarter miles
and the amount would represent our ma
tional wealth. Placed side by side the
coins would form a carpet of gold COW

THE COLLEGE GIRL GRADUATE.
Better to Fill Simple Part Low
ing1y Than to Exploit Erudition.

Edward w. Box writes to the college
girl graduate in the Ladies Home
Journal" Whatever the necessities,
her desires or ambitions he says, 'let
her not forget that first of all she was
live her life in true Womanliness, so
that she may be an inspiration
strength, a blessing not necessarily to
a world, but, what is infinitely bet
ter, to those within her immediate
reach whose lives are touched by hers.
Very few lives are free-free to go and
come, travel, read, study, think, paint
and sing at will. In the lives of most
women these gifts are an aside III life,
as it We're an underbreath. Most OF us
are beset with loving calls of toll, re-
sponsibility and quiet duties, which we
must recognize, heed and obey. we
must love our mothers more than our
Greek If the instinct of daughter,
sister, wife or mother dies out of a
college bred woman, even in the course
of most brilliant career, the world
will forget to love her: it will scorn
her, and justly. If she does not make
her surroundings homelike wherever
she is, whether she be teacher, artist,
musician, writer, daughter at home,
or a mother in the household, and if
she herself is not CHEEKY and loving,
dainty in dress, gentle in manner, and
beautiful in soul, as every true wo-
man ought to be, the world will feel
that the one thing needful is lacking;
vivid, tender womanliness, for which
no knowledge, however profound, can
ever compensate. 1t is better for a
woman to fill a simple human part
lovingly, better to be sympathetic in
trouble, and to whisper a comforting
message into but one giving ear, than
that she should make a path to Egypt
and lecture to thousands on ancient

my own experience 1 have found that
men are more apt to prove ungrateful
than women. 1t may be that press of
business cares outweighs the finer SEN
timents. or it may be that the lords Of
creation do not relish the thoughts Of
being beholden to woman, but this is no
reason why such rank ingratitude as is
seen daily should exist. No sentiment
IS more noble than gratitude and so sem
tilent is more appreciated.
