ChauviniSrrl.

Chauvinfsnl is a term that has come
to mean an extravaGant and absurd
patriotism and pride in ones own
country, with corresponding enmtty
toward and contempt for foreign ma
tons. It is the French equivalent for
the jingoisn Of the London music halls
after Lord Beaconsfield's return from
the congress Of Berlin in 1878. The
origin of the word is due to Chauvin,
the name of a figure in the comedy LA
Cocarde THEODORE GS31) by the broth
ers Theodore and Hippolyte Cognard,
the action in which includes the con-
quest of Algeria. Chauvin is a young
recruit who speaks much, displays
great courage and sings several coup
lets with the refrain, '.j'suis Francois,
j'suis Chauvin, j'tape sur lie Bedouin.'
The authors Of the comedy, however,
borrowed the name from that of Mich
o1as Chauvin. an old soldier of Napo-
leon, well known in his time in Paris
for his devoted enthusiasm for the
emperor Calvin is 4 Latinized form
OF the same family name.

No Danger of n salt Famine.

The amount of salt in the sea Wa
ter of the globe If extracted, would
be greater in mass than the land so
far as it appears above the surface
The seas cover 10 per cent of the
earth's surface, estimated 1t 0,2Go, 900
(German) square miles. The percent
age of chlornatrium in the sea is the
same at all depths. Assuming that the
average depth of the sea is q half
German mile, there are then 100000
cubic miles of sea water. y cubic
mile Of sea water contains on the aver
age about twenty-five Kilograms of
salt. The 100000 cubic miles of sea
water would therefore contain $4,000
cubic miles of distilled pure salt

from all accounts between II 900 and
$4,000 men may have been lost by the
Japanese, who made the same desper-

as in gil their conduct in the war. Be
tween 1000 and 1000 Russians fell
in the fighting last Sunday. Monday
and Tuesday at Simu Cheng, Yu Shu-
likzu and Yang See pass, and finally
Hal Cheng was evacuated by kuro-
patkin. The enemy's losses are be-
lieved to have been nearly if not quite
as large. The Russian force is now
at Anshanshan, half way between Hal
Chens and Lao Yang. General Count
Keller, one OF the Russian command
ers, was killed by a bursting shell on
July 90. Many other officers lost their
lives in the three days fight. AT Simu

ITO the Yellow God, the Black God,

Please kindly take us all up with
you and do not leave us unprotected,

prayer is to be found on a Tibetan
praying wheel. The Tibetan is q mar
tyr to folklore, conceiving, as he does,
his spiritual life to be a struggle
against demons which nre Just as hard
to conquer as the passes and deserts

is that if turned the wrong way

says the Brooklyn Eagle.
We should not, for example, fret our
selves out of many nights rest over
the tassels and fringes on our altar

inches in our ark. Besides, in the
year 40 woman did not belong to
clubs and exercise the authority that
she does now. Paul indicates his es-

keep still in church, and when he
says that neither was the man Gre

had left from yesterday and those nice
bakery rolls that came this morning,
I said Helen Bostwick to the cook, swhC
had come to the sitting room door to
see what the .yonng leddies, wished
for luncheon.
"And, Molly, called Helen as the
good natured Irish girl was leaving the
room, ''be sure to put q little onion in
the soup. It's perfectly fat without
it,
..sure, Miss Helen answered Molly.
Laura Bostwick, who was visiting her
cousin Helen while their mothers We're
in the south together, looked up as II
about to speak and then, suddenly
changing her mind, closed her lips.
An hour later the girls left their fan
cy work and sat down at the luncheon
table. Molly brought in the steaming
soup, and Helen began eating it with
apparent satisfaction, while Laura put
her spoon into her dish very gingerly
and took the merest taste.
I'm SO fond of cream tomato soup,
with justa touch Of onion in it, said
Helen in few minutes. why, Laura,
you have eaten scarcely any OF yours.
Why didn't you tell me that you didn't
like it? We could just as we'll have
had something else"
IT do like it usually" replied Laura,
who never found it easy to dissemble.
isn't it made the way you like it? I
was quite particular to tell Molly how
I WANTED it,
YES; know you were" Laura was
making a brave effort to force spoon
full Of it down. Its very nice, I'm
sure; but, you see, Helen, 1 never eat
favored with onions. I wish
I could cultivate a taste for onions; it's
so inconvenient not to like But I
seem absolutely unable to eat them in
any shape or manner"
"Well, they have such a pronounced
favor that suppose if you do dislike
them you must dislike them very much
indeed. I'll have Molly cook an egg for
you
; ooh, no; please don't. I hate to have
extra done for me. I can
make fine meal on these good rolls
and this delicious apple sauce"
well, I do wish that you had spoken
when was telling Molly to put in the
onion."
81 was going to, and then I knew
from what you said that if it was
made to suit my taste it would be
spoiled for you. It's small matter
anyway. Mother says most of us give
90 much Importance to what we eat,
md I'm sure she is right. Let's talk
about something else"
AS often happens when a change Of
subject is desired, neither could think
or moment of anything to say. Be
