Football in French Army.

| Football Is to be encouraged in. or,
rather, introduced into. the French
army, according to the London Telo-
graph. "Piou-piou'' hitherto has been
practically a stranger to outdoor
sports. All he has had to do when on
Leave for the day has ben to wander
about the streets Of his garrison town
or sit slipping sirups at cafe. He Is
now being taught to appreciate foot
ball.
The game has so well caught on in
the few regiments which have yet
learned it that colonies all over the
country are thinking of providing their
men with means of playing it. The
little soldiers In their red trousers and
gray flannel shirts look rather funny
when Learning the mysteries of drlb-
bling and the scrimmage. But If they
do somewhat lack slnew and weight
they have plenty Of agility, swiftness
and go.
Tho chief difficulty experienced by
colonies anxious to develop a love Of
the king of winter games among their
men is the question on ways and
means. An original scheme Is now
afoot for providing the necessary
equipment for football to as many
regiments as possible. A sort Of ben
eft association match is to DO played
between an English scratch team and
French eleven. The proceeds of the
takings at the gates will be entirely
devoted to buying the requisite 'leath-
en-" goal posts, etc, for Piou-piou foot
hallers. The match ought to draw a
considerable sum Of money, as the
English team will be strong one, in
Guiding several ex-lntorna tionals

His .Nun for Brcnk N,aN.n

During the last years Of the life OF
W. +. storey, the famous editor OF tho
Old Chicago Times, he was irritable
and nervous. Each morning when he
arrived at the office he thought 1t his
duty to discharge somebody. That
done, he would go to luncheon and
forget all about II.
The staff of tho Times held many
conferences. Clearly, it was incum-
bent on them to appease in some way
tlle appetite of Mr.. Storey for sudden
removals.
Some genius suggested that they
feed their employers wrath with ele-
vator boys. They collected large as
s0rlment Of Inexperienced lads. Each
morning one was put in charge of the
elevator. When Mr.. Storey came in
the awkward boy would jolt him, stop
at the wrong floor and commit al sorts
of elevator sins.
"Who's that idiot running the ele-
vator?" Storey roared, morning after
morning, when he finally reached his
office.
"So-and-so," an editor replied.
"LiScharge HIM" commanded Storey.
That saved some member Of the staff
and satisfied Mr.. Storey, although it
was rather rough Oh the boys.-Satur-
day Evening Post.

" alter Is Drying Cp.

An old theory is that the earth is
slowly drying through the chemical
combination of the water with the
crust. A French geographer, NJ. Mar
tet, has been investigating numerous
caverns and drying valleys and has
convinced himself that a more rapid
absorption is taking place, and that
our water supply is being swallowed
up at an appreciate rate by the fis-
sures and cavities Of rocks and soil.
He urges a more thorough study, with
a view Of lessening absorption if pos
sible.

No one need find anything paraGoAi-
cal in the statement that cooking.
which is one Of the oldest of femin-
inc occupations. offers a new profess
sion to women. 1t is true that women
have always cooked, but not in the
modern sense. Surveying is tie foun-
dation of civil engineering, and Wash

good surveyor: but If he were alive
to- day, and were put at work beside
