Social Note on the Present War It IS
a severe arraignment of Great Britain's
treatment of Tommy Atkins and the
author is especially fierce against Kipling,
and his "Absent-Minded Beggar." She
resents the name and says that by ap-
parentiy approving th S term, the nation
has exposed the British soldier more
or less to the ridicule Of Europe. She
also deprecates the action of the English
Smart Set in connection with the South
African war and lays the blame on the
lax spirit prevailing English Society
Since our grief-stricken Sovereign re-
tired into the privacy of more or less
perpetual mourning. and ceased to take an
active part in the movements of the fash

Many birds form their sounds with
out opening their bills. The pigeon
is well-known instance of this. Its
cooling can be distinctly heard, al
though it does not open its bill. The
call is formed internally in the throat
and chest, and is only rendered au-
dible by resonance. Similar ways may
be observed in many birds and other
animals. The clear, loud call of the
cuckoo, according to one naturalist,
is the resonance of note formed in
the bird. The whirring of the snipe
which betrays the approach of the
bird to the hunter, is an act of ven-
triloquism. Even the nightingale has
certain notes which are produced in
ternally, and which are audible while
the bill is closed.

PREACHED IN SHIRTsLEEvES.
hentuckian Thought the Episcopal Pre-
late Pain Man.


>ot long ago Bishop Dudley of nen-
lucky went to preach in a little town
IN the western part of the state where
there are no Episcopal churches, and
only one, in fact, of any other denomi-
nation. The people are unfamiliar
with any but the plainest and most
simple church service and entirely un-
accustomed to the vestments which the
Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of
the only church." "a good conscientious,
narrow minded man, hearing that the
bishop was coming on certain Sun
day TO preach at the courthouse, told
some of the pillars" of his congrega-
ton that he hoped they would not de-
sert their own church to hear the
Episcopal service. On the appointed
sunday what was the pastors surprise
TO notice half of his flock absent, and
upon inquiry he learned that the court
house was thronged with the villag-
ers. The next day he met one of his
chlef supporters, whose accustomed
seat had been vacant at the weekly
service, and the pastor questioned him
as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The
man replied that he had gone to hear
Bishop Dudley. What" replied the
clergyman. Desert me to hear that
pompous prelate!" You're mistaken
IN the man." answered the culprit.
Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre-
late. He preached in his shirtsleeves."

Very "Absent-Mindedn Indeed.

A surgeon who is often absent
minded was dining at the house Of a
friend.
Doctor" said the lady of the
house, "as you are so clever with the
knife, we must ask you to carve the
leg of mutton"
with pleasure, was the reply.
And setting to work, he made a
deep incision in the joint OF meat.
Then Whatever was he thinking
about?) he drew from his pocket a
bundle of lint, together with several
linen bandages, and began to bind up
the "wound" in due form.
The guests were stricken dumb at
the sight. But he, still deeply alb
sorbed in thought, suddenly looked
up and remarked, triumphantly:
with rest and care he will soon be

Blind People.

60 far as the most recent statistics
go, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in fifteen hundred,
which would give total of one mil
lion blind in the world. The largest
proportion is found in Russia, which
has in Europe 100000 blind in a popu-
lation of 96,OOOOC0, or one in 4SO
Most of these are found in the north
ern provinces of Finland, and the
principal causes is ophthalmia, due to
bad ventilation of the huts CT the peas
antry and the inadequate facilities for
treatment. There is a great deal of
blindness in Egypt, due to glowing
sand.
