Growth of Mnmen,s CInhs.

The report Of the General Federation
Of WOmen's Clubs has been published.
The growth of the organization has
been somewhat retarded during the
past two years because of the uncer-
tatnty regarding the reorganization
question. Separate clubs heSitatCd to
Join until the matter of their direct
membership was permanently settled
Nevertheless the federation has grown
steadily. 1t now numbers 6S3 clubs.
with a membership Of $4,000 clubwom-
en-, and 36 state federatiunS. with 300
clubs. enrolling 100. 600 members. The
report shows in comprehensive way
n remarkable aggregate of helpful Serv-
ice which its ten years of existence has
developed among women. 1t is when
this list is thus summarized that it is
seen what an important result has been
achieved by the study in clubs of in
duStrial, social and educational condi-
tionS. One of the smallest of the state
declarations affiliated with the general
society is that of Florida. made M of
only eight clubs, representing about
400 women. Yet in this small society,
scattered over large area. marked
progress is shown. Its effort is direct
ed chiefly to the bettcrment of the edu-
catonal system in the state. 1t is
working for more thorough eXamina-
ton of teachers and higher qualitica-
ton of officers, to secure the appoint
ment of women on the school boards
and, last, to eliminate political infu-
ence in school matters. Mrs. Viola Z.
Beekman of Jacksonville is the presi-
dent. From the work of this small
branch of the general society up to the
impressive showing of the big fedora
tons of Massachusetts, New York and
Illinois an interesting presentment is
made.

Menring Out the Brnin,

a French scientist has determined
that the military and naval professions
most quickly wear out the brain Out
of 100000 naval and military men 1913
are confirmed lunatics. Next come the
liberal professions, artists heading the
list, followed closely by lawyers and
more distantly, by doctors, clergy, lit
erary men and civil servants. The
number of those who go mad is III to
each 100000. Domestic servants and
day laborers run the professional men
very close, sending 100 out of each
100000 to the asylum. These are fol.
lowed at long distance by mechanics,
only GG of whom 30 mad in each 1O0,-
900. And the group which is most IA
vorable to sanity is, contrary to gcncr-
al belief, that of commercial men
which sends only ~ out of 100000 to
the asylum.

Housekeepers' Economies.

The question of housekeeping as the
winter season approaches generally re-
solves itself into the plain advice to
get in as many stores as possible, to
cram the coal cellar and the store cup
board. This is very sound, practical
advice, and those who can follow it no
doubt save many pennies, but there
are others who are quite unable to buy
largely even while things are cheap.
They are obliged to be content with Il
sack or two of Goals as they want them
and with just enough stores to keep
things going. Some young wives spend
the best part of their lives in trying to
solve the difficult problem of how to
make both ends meet. They are wives,
too, who have to keep up an excellent
appearance and who have pride and
skill enough to conceal the state of
their purses.
1t is really amusing how far some
houSekeeperS can make money go. They
have clever knack that way. With
them there is always plenty, but never
such thing as waste. 1t taxes the
young wife's ingenuity very closely at
times to manage as successfully as she
does, but no one knows to what shift
she has been put, and she laughs Sc
cretly at the expressions of approval
bestowed upon some simple but tasty
little dish that she has manufactured
tout of nothing. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

Dancing Birds.

The naturalstS tell us of many pecul-
lar habits that some birds have, among
them that of dancing. The movement
to which they apply that term is not an
irregular darling to and fro to which
the observer must lend the influence of
his imagination TO make it appear as
dancing. but is a well ordered, dcliber-
ate and graceful act in which some
times few and sometimes many birds
take part.
Opinions differ as to why they dance
Some writer's think that it is, so to
speak, merely an interchange of COM
pliments and courtesies between the
sexes, particularly mt the mating sea-
son; others that it is wholly playful
originating in bright and cheerful spir-
its.
Be that as it may, the dance of the
spur winged lapwing is certainly an
act of play, for the birds indulge in it
all the year round and at frequent in
tervals during the day and also on
moonlight nights.
The lapwings live in pairs, and any
one who watches them will presently
see one bird of a ncighboring pair rise
and fly to them. 1t is always welcom-
ed with many signs of pleasure, just as
we greet a guest whom we are glad to
see. Advancing to the visitor, they
place themselves behind it, and then all
three, keeping step, begin a march, ut
tering loud drumming notes in time
with their movements.
In little while the march is over,
and then the leader, elcvating his
wings and uttering loud cries, stands
erect and motionlcsS, while the other
two, with puifed out plumage and
standing exactly abreast. stoop for
ward and downward until the tips Of
their beaks touch the ground. They re-
main for some time in this posture, Civ
ing utterance all the while to low,
rhythmical murmur. This ends the
dance, and the visitor goes hacl to his
home to receive there Il visitor in turn.
This dance of the lapwngs is unique
among bird habits. and, though it may
be considered as purely play, no one
has yet suggested Il reasonable cXpla-
nation of its remarkable resemblance
to an act of human beings.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things of Which Its Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant

-"S Ahihks OF "nich Its Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant.
The failure Of the Sunday school as
means of giving a systematic and
thorough knowledge of the Bible is
great. A teacher in a city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or 80 pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the international Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed in order to reach
Palestine, and not one could give the
desired information Then she asked
the class in what part of the world
Palestine is located, and no one knew.
That is a very good specimen of Sun
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask few questions. The
ignorance of the Bible on the part Of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed
but not unless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again it has trans
PRED that those who were generally
well Informed, who were fairly well
educated and regarded as bright and
clever were almost totally ignorant of
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
the book that was of any value, and,
however much they might have read it
since, it was to them a sealed volume.

The Flight of n Great NebuIo.

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes is that of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the com
plexity of its glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines, it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
of establishment made by the sight of
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of its enormous size. The entire solar
system would appear as tiny speck
beside it, Yet this tremendous aggre
CATION of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re-
searches Of the late Professor Keelet
of the Lick observatory to be flying
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of II miles in every second! But
so vast is its distance that 100 years
reveal no visual effects of the great
nebula's swift retreat. If it were near
by, it would seem to become rapidly
smaller.-Youth's Companion.

How to Get Divorce French style.

Daily Mail. The wife of a man en-
ployed in a business. finding that her
husbands earnings were insufficient to
enable her to indulge in the finery she
desired, successfully urged her unfor-
tunate spouse to rob his employer. The
woman then denounced her husband,
and the sentence of three months i'm
prisonmcnt he received enabled her to
divorce him and to marry a rich suitor
who can provide her with the finery
she loves.

AS the man turned into the doorway
leading up to Major Crofoot's office he
had look of determination on his face.
AS he assembled the well worn stairs
his tread showed aggressiveness. As
he banged the majors door open and
entered he had the air of creditor
who'd get his money or carry away his
pound of flesh. The major was in. He
sat at his desk smoking a very short
stub of cigar, but as the door opened
he whirled with a bland smile on his
face, and, rising, with both hands held
out, he exclaimed:
