DRINKING WATER FOR TROOPS
Omcers Ordered 10 See 10 IL That IL

The war department has made public
an order by Gen. Macarthur looking TO

1T is therefore ordered that officers
in command of troops will give direc-
tions that all water for drinking pur-
poses shall be boiled at least 20 min
utes, and that every preeaution be
taken TO prevent the use of any that
has not been so sterilized. When about
to go on a march each man will be re-
CURED to fill his canteen with sterilized
water before starting. Company and
detachment commanders will inspect
the canteens and see that this is done.

WINTER BELLS. ~
when Winter wraps the world in whits.

When Winter wraps the world In whits,
And silent lie the snowy dells.
IT'S sweet to hear amid the night
The cadence of the fairy bells;
They seem to set the winds astir
with eerie music soft and low.
And gently shake the modest hr
Clad In its garb OF spotless snow.
They tinkle meath the watchfui stars.
Whose beams upon the whiteness fan.
And as they near the meadow bars
What recollections they recalll
The trysting tree which Summer knowa
And clothes IN hues Of living green,
glands out against the sky and throws
It's lordly shadow Ger the scene.
o Winter bells that tell OF mirthi
Thy music fills the heart with JOY
And makes a paradise Of earth
A lovers year without alloy;
Across the fields there seems TO come
The music which Of pleasure tells,
And every hearth and every home
Rejoices st the winter bells.
] hear them echo where the snow
Lies softly on the frozen ground,
And where DEFENDERS winds are low
list TO catch their merry sound:
A maiden at the lattice waits.
For swiftly through the moonlit dells,
Toward her hearts wide-open gates,
A lover rides behind the bells.

Maybe she's got an inkling of this
fool thing and wants to give me a
hint-well, man can cut his throat
but once"
Chris sat down.
81 believe it's showing" she said,
quite suddenly, in as surprised tone
as though the snow had not been
falling steadily for four and twenty
hours.
Eyes, il is drilling just little"
replied Worth, thoughtfully.
He remembered that it had rained
the day before At the same time he
carefully removed a bit of snow from
his trousers.
Chris smiled and began boldly:
We'll, have you found out to whom
I'm engaged?"
yes said Worth, looking hard at
her, "and have you discovered the un-
happy girl who is to share my fu-
tme 2"
Yes" returned Chris. Two dim
pies began to play in her cheeks and
her eyes sparkled.
Worth looked at her and groaned,
changing the groan hastily into a
cough. He thrust his hands into his
pockets and said solemnly:
Chris, I've followed this thing up
, until l find the man is no other than
Worth Brice The report has gone
over this town that you are engaged
to my unhappy self. Unhappy, only
because it is not true. If it were"
Worth went on. desperately, ~ should
feel ike a godfather to the whole
town"
The dimples began to deepen in
Chris cheeks. Mischief lurked in her
eyes.
"As the result Of my search" she
began, red hair resolved itself into
a golden brown and the name Sever
has successfully become Lever, Lover.
and lastly just plain Love, with the
first name Chris"
Then for the first time Worth
looked up with a CLEAN of inteui-
gence in his eyes. An intelligence
which necessitated an hours consul
tation. At the end of this time they
had decided that it was not their
duty to explain to the world at large
that the announcement had preceded
the engagement by three days. What
do three days amount to, anyway

LONG FINGER NAILS.
Marks of Social Standing in China
That Sometimes Attain
Eighteen Inches.

In China long finger nails are a
mark Of gentility. They are an indica.
tion that their possessor is a man of.
leisure. When they are excessively
long, approaching the dignity of tai.
ons, as they sometimes do, they indi-
cate that the gentleman-or lady-at.
tached TO them has passed the mere
gentility line, and has become a full
fledged aristocrat. In AMMAN, where
the finger nail habit has persisted for
hundreds and perhaps thousands oil
years, these signs-manual of extreme
gentiEty sometimes attain by careful
cultivation the length of six or eight
inches, and instances are on record
where length of 10 and even is inches
has been attained.
The custom prevails generally
throughout what is known as Indo-
China, which includes Siam. Burmah,
Cambodia, Laos and the Shan states,
etc. 1t is also common throughout the
Chinese empire, more especially in the
southern provinces.
Well-to-do merchants and storekeep-
ers content themselves with encourag.
ing the growth of one or two nails only.
usually those of the fore and middle
fingers; officials, according to their
grade, may cultivate larger number
Of claws, of proportionately exag-
gerated length. The wives OF mer-
chants are also fond Of this sort Of dis
play. In cases where the exigencies
of the domestic situation call for some
degree Of toll in the household, pro-
tectors, usually OF silver or some base
metal. are worn as sheaths over the
projecting talons. Nails measuring an
inch and a quarter or an inch and a
half in length are quite common in
China, and, as has been remarked, claws
extending ten or twelve times that
length are by no means rare in the
neighboring states
1t is said that some of the Annamese
noblemen never have their nails cut
from the time of birth In such cases
Of course, the poor creatures are prac-
tically helpless and have to RELY on

discharge of the most common Offices

comments upon the new Shamrock,
SAYS among other things:
THE appearance Of the new Sham
rock as she rides the water at the
Erie basin is most disquieting In
nothing that was written on the 9th
er side was she adequately described.
and nearly every description of her
that was sent here was seriously mis-
leading. For, without any eXeep-
ton, the model of the new Shamrock
above water is the most beautiful
and the cleanest and swiftest of any
that ever sought for or defended the
cup.
Let is be fully understood that
these adjectives are applied only 10
what can be seen about water. Her
lines under the water may be wrong
in various respects, though that is
scarcely possible
