Mas Secured All Over Europe to Hife
 Soldiers.
 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight for us. says London paper Until less than 50 years ago, when We had war on hand, we sent off to Germany and all over Europe, f. ge men , fight for us. The mel e.. .saged were most ly old soldiers, aud were hired to fight until the war was Gushed In 1756 an Invasion Of EnSl1rd was feared. 50 5000 Hessians were hired to come and 5efend these shores against the ex' pected attack. These hirelings were paid at the British rate of pay, and foi every man of them killed their king was paid so much per head Even against the American cOloIist5 Hes- sian treopa were employed. No won der our fellow -Englshmen were en- ragged at this shameless action The landgrave of Hes.sa was paid S3,355,- 900 in 3 per cen stock for the Hes- sians lost in the war of independence
  The IriGh rebellioe of 1798 vas put down chiefly by Hessian hireitngs. In the long struggle with Napoleon we freely hired foreigners. out the bulk of the work was done by British sol dfers. Woilingtoa found that he could not rely on his aercenary gangs too much. In 1894 the Kings German le- zion" of 10, GOO men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 5000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states. there were also en- listed French rogaiists expelled by Ma poieon. Gorsicahs, Greeks, Italians. Turks, Portuguese Belgians, Hbagari- ans and Swiss At Waterloo, Yelling. tons army of 67000 was made up of only 22,0G0 British and the rest were Dutch Brunswckers, Hanovertans and Nassaamen. When peaee came in 1914 there were no less than 29,000 hired Foreigners forming corps in the British army. The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiring sol diers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimee and more were wanted. So the government went to parliament with bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans, 5000 Swiss and 1000 Italians, hs British rates of pay.

Philosophic De-. .no bs.~.s-5 to tho folk lore society are fond of tracing legends and myths and customs all over the world. Cinderella, the dear girl, is found in one knows not how many peoples, speaking innumerable tongues and believing an equal num- Der of religions. How did Cinderella become ubiquitous? The transactions of the Folk Lore society will perhaps offer a theory. Now, there has beep uaraveled a curious superstition com- mon to Shetianders and Singhalese How islanders so wide apart-some 15,~ eco miles-managed to adopt e22h oth- CTS views one does not know. lj,it here E the fact. The rice cultivators of
 sayton and the fishermen of Shetland resemble each other in one or two rather a.kable points. They re- "a II from speaking of ne implements 0f their calling by their names; they ts!l them something else, by names kn0#n ealy to themselves. The reae son is that if the evil spirit were to st.-+-h lIidS fIGy N G4S SpCdhluS Oh spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train Of thought is the same with both races. "There is an evil spirit always on the loe ut for opportunities Of do- ing mises f. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him a way of doing an injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves" ," Another custom of the Shetlander, not possible to the rice grower, is tkat if in fishing his net catches something at the bottom and stone Is brought up it is not to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil spirit, who most certainly put it into the net. It is to be kept in the boat until the net again catches. Then it is to be dropped in the water with the words: Take your OVID and give me mine,' where upon the net Is at once released. Now, If the Singhalese were to turn fisher, would he, following the same line of thought, adopt a similar custom?- pittsburg Dispatch.

INDIGO IN COLONIAL TIMES
t Waa Looked Upon as . Sort of Curs
 rent Coin.

The colonial ladies were great gar deners. and the hours they passed with their fruits and flowers must have been moments of much pleasure in their busy lives. says Longman's Magazine. Th mos famous of these ladies was the Gan Utter of George Lucas, a planter of Carolina, and at the same time governor ef Antigua, at which place he appears to have resided, leaving Miss Eliza at home. From Antigua he sent her all sorts of tropical seeds of fruits and flowers, to try if auy would take kindly to the soil of Carolina Eliza observed certain hopeful signs with re gard to the indigo and undismayed by repeated accidents to the young plants, at length obtained good crop. Gov. Lucas was so delighted at this un- looked for success that he sent over an englishman to teach Eliza the whole process of indigo working. The Eng lishman, bearing gifts. seems to hays been rather sly and tricky sort of person. but when did England ever get the better of America? The youth ful Miss Lucas saw through the Eng Iishman's lodges. (hs name was Crom- well} and finally obtained a success ful knowledge and application of the complex and annoying methods of ex- tracing indigo bounty of Sd pound encouraged the planting, and thrOugrt it's profits more children were sent over from Carolina to be educated at home than from all the colonies put together. Indigo was looked upon at last as i sort of current coin, and it is on record that when a little boy was sent to school al Philadelphia, he took with 1im wagon af indigo 10 pay his sSpe. seS.

Big q" in Eng ish W-itfng.

G!l it ever occur to you that 1t might seem very egotistical for you 10 write of yourself with capital 'I" instead of using the small and iess obtrusive one? The English use Of the capital '1"i is one of the oldest features of the language-to a for eigner If Frenchman writes refer ring to himself he makes "je" (the French equivalent of '1") with a small "i." So with the German, who may lse capitals t. begin every noun: hs always uses the small i" in writ. Ing ich." The Spaniard avoids, as far as practicable, the pse of the per- sonal pronoun when writing in the first person, but he always writes k 'yo," taking pains, however. to begin the Spanish equivalent of our you" with capital. In English it is slre- iy big 'I" and little "you." as the old saying has it.

WHAT'S IN A CORN STALK.
tt Can Be Turned Into Smokeless
 Powder, Dynamite, Etc.

An immense cellulose plant Is near. Ing completion in Linden, Ind, and when 1t is in operation Indian corn pith, for ages considered worthless will be pit on the market as a proteo- tion for battleships of all nations. as smokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives. as fine art paper, as varnish, kodak films, earbox packing, filler, waterproof cloth, linoleum. imi- tation silk. patent leather finish. face powder, silicate packing, an6 hun- dred more as novel ald varied forms of which the farmer, who has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed. The outer lining-that part which incloses the pith-will be made Into flour as an adu,tei 1Et, as a cattle feed, a chicken fattener anC an egg producer Part of it will be mada up Into candy, some of it into coloring dyes, and still other parts Of 1t will become part of far more novel pro- 3esses. It will add thousands of dol ars to the crop receipts of Indiana far
 
 aas been wa ste, and will furnish n. Eloyment for skilled workers. The an- nual average corn area oi the United sstates is Sot far from S0600000 acres. Each acre yields on an average about 4,000 pounds of corn stalks, or total of 1G0, 1000, 900 tons. Of this weight 85 per cent, or 136,G00, ,000 tons, has valus ts feed, but not over ten per cent of 1t Is actually fed. The other fifteen per tent of the total weight, or 24000, 900 tons. is the pith of the stalk, which has been d total waste. or even worse This Indiana concern has a process which makes it possible for them to pay S3 ton for the stalks, and pro- duce raw material which is worth seventeen cents pound, or S340 a ton. It is figured that if every ton Of stalks in the United States could be so handled, it would increase the value of each crop $480. .000 .0G0

 It seems strange to think that any full grown, four-foot4d animal should indulge in play like a child. and yet this is what the otter does HIS amusement is tobagganing, and his playground is a slope, covered with leo or snow, that goes down grade into a pool of water. No little boy, With new sled, ever enjoyed a coast down an ice -boand hill more than this beau' tiful creature from the frozen T 'sh. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as p pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink, be- Ing, however, of heavier build, and Is both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water, he preys on fish. which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. The entrance to hjs home, Wblch is a 0urrow in the bank of a stream, is 1nder the water. In the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from one stream to another, sometimes spend- ing months on the journey. If the. happen to see an inviting hill by tht ~ayside they immediately stop their pilgrimage and prepare for some sport. Ore of the number leaves the water and slowly climbs the slope, making smooth hollow in the ice with his wet body. When the slide is pre- pared. be lies flat on his belly, thrusts hfs nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail- Ing swiftly down. His speed steadily Increases until he reaches the water. Silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds; then his head appears above the surface and you can hear him give call which sounds like a whistle This is sig. nal. The next otter assumes the posi- lion au3 shoots down to the bottom to join his companion, who has mean. while crawled out on the ice.

AN ANTARC TIC OASIS
Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition

Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described fn the Century for January by MT. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle is very fully illustrated. An oasis in a snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in eharacterizing certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown regiCn before Us while enshrOuded in mist. we drew near a prominent mocn- t}in peak to make deaarkrlent. The tiff was q perpendicular cliff, freo ot saQw to tho see shore. It was one of 2 .umber .EtGnding far into the south sa5e, as We learned on the fc,.oW-as .a4. Ne made 3 debarkment M is5 3aze.

 Esa to eff. was dezfanjng. The lower rocks were lined with snoring and
 zantfng sea-ieopards. Columns or yap0r rose above the water followed 5y a hiss like that of stealQ engine 3nd q second later the blue Lack of a rkaie, with it's long fin and ponderoas tail, lashed the water into foamy whirlpool. The great wall of landice rose to each side of the black cltff mich gave us shelf as a landing place From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by splash and 2 commotion in the water. With such sports parts of the wall would com
 tantly break away and tai! 5-.t0 | mil ion pieces, strewing the water with small fragments of ice, but not with ceberga. Above us rose a cliff to an altitude of about 1000 feet; out from his were projecting mantel-like rocks. which served as resting places for +he @9rmorants and sea gulls. Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- nected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities of moss and liehens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of vegeta- 1le life and color. After seeing noth.

Much of the Gum in the States Gomez
 From the rglades


 Florida is in a far way to become the rival in camphor production Of China, Japan and For1nosa. Hereto tore the world has derived it's supplies of that gum from the countfta: named, but Of the vast camphor forests that once existed in these regions but a small portion remains This IS ths direc result of the wanton waste in the Lrocess practiced for obtaining the gum from the tree. Cam1ho is asual- Y obtained by boiling the chips of the wood and roots and bark in great ket. ties With water and eondensirg the vo- latilized gum on rushes suspended over the kettles. In this process the entire cree is cut down and even the roots dug up, but in Florida it was found that the gum could be commercially pro- duced from the leaves and tWigs, sev- enty-seven pounds of which yield one pound Of gum. Hence the bearing tree need not be disturbed or .:tjured in any way, as the foliage t Sears $ very dense and may be tbinne3 Own one. half without scarcely being Goticed. The tree, besides, bears a ysTy great amount of pruning without injury IL Is an evergreen, and makes three growths a year-in April, June and De- tober. The tree removes nothing from the soil the gum being formed entire- ly from the gases of the atmosphere. and hence tbe leaves, when deprived of their camphor and returned to the soil constantly enrich the soil, which In time requires no fertilizing what ever. Aside from it's commercial uses the camphor tree is one of the most ornamental ever cultivated, it's heauti- ful shape being equaled by the arbor- vitae only. Its lower branches lie on the ground while the top forms per feet cone. The flowers are small. but exceedingly pretty, while the leaves are of ? beautiful pale, glossy green color.

When the Chinese cast the first railway from Shanghai to Woosung into the river they were only preparing themselves for a network of railways over the whole of China. When the Koreans in Seoul desteyed the new electric line and burned the cars they exhausted the forces of conservatism. and before long concluded that the electric railway was the best scheme ior saving extra exertion in walking that had ever been devised.--Ainslee's Magazine.

Evon IF hite-fying, they iy little hooks to theiI kite strings and try to pull iR each other's kites, and count it ftt1- 70 kees any kite that drops into thei' yards They will tell ycu that a kite or strange pigeon that comes tc youl place, if given up, takes away youl family luck" So you must tear tha kite and keep the pigeon. But when you gee the town danGie5 saunterina out with their fans and bird cages 70 watch the noon kite flying, criticis ing the fl0cks and their tactics, ane arguing the fine points of decoyias you guess that family luck" has very little 10 do with their game. To desos strange pigeons, pigeon keepers must first train their focks to "fy in spir' Rls, that is, tc rise steadil- in eircies without straying far from the home roof. Pigeons naturally fly together ir circles. Even wild pigeons whee about in fiocks before struggling off to the fields Chinese make their birds eager for oircling by kee1lCg them shut up i1 a wicker house built on the ground around the Govecota, and they cure their birds of struggling by pelt- ing them with pebbles when they try No alfght anywhere except on one spot the ridge-pole of the roof facing the wicker house. The flock must alight here in q bunch, and Immediately walh down to the caves. This Is done to bring any strange pigeon among them down within sight of the grain, which Is then scattered on the floor of the wicker house. Pigeons are fed only after flying, for unless hungry, they are lazy and unmanageable Their food is millet, sorghum seed or cor7 which their keepers use to get as 1aleh work from them as possible When there is much flying and calling down to do, they are usually fed with millet which is so small that 1t keeps them eating long time without filling them. At other times their food is sorghum keed. Corn is not very good for pig cons, but they are so fond of 1t that pigeon keepers usually have 1t on hand 10 call them down when they are al.
