COURAGE IN WAR.

In the great naval battles that have
occurred in the east, as in the great
land battles, no doubt the Russians
died game. So did the Japanese, SO
do the common soldiers and sailors OF
many semi.civilized and many bar
barian peoples. No people in the
world meet death with o noncha'
lance. or 2more grim stoicism than
the Turks or Il North American In
dams. To. die recklessly in battle is
a common trait, and argues no special
nobility of character. Least OF all
does it give any indication Of the
righteousness of a cause, or posses
sion of the traits that make for the
glory of a nation in peace. To have
a bulldogs fearless pugnacity does
not demonstrate the possession OF
Christian, or even of moral virtues.
Bad men have II in common with the

The partridge has long been in

Grecian Sisters Fight Duel.

All fashionable Athens Is gossipinL
about a sensational occurrence which
took place a short time ago in the
family Of a wealthy Greek merchant.
A handsome young Englishman was
one OF the parties concerned. The
Englishman. who was on intimate
terms with the merchants family,
had unwittingly captured the hearts
Of the two pretty daughters of the
hCuse. Some preference shown by the
son of Albion for the younger maiden
led to an embittered quarrel. which
eliminated in a duel. After the fam
lily had retired to rest. the girls rose
from their beds, and taking their
brothers swords, proceeded in their
nightgowns to the garden. There In
the moonlight they began to fight
Fortunately for the fair duellists. their
weapons we're too heavy to be welded
with much effect, and when one sis
ter, slightly wounded In the breast
shrioked, their father came on the
scene and stopped the duel.

To Easten a kickjnu Cow.


A dairyman describes his method Of
tying the hind legs Of a cow to prevent
kicking while being MIXED. as fol-
lows:
The method ! shall describe Is ef.
fective and humane. and generally
only n few lessons are necessary to
convince the most unruly COW that
she must stand still while being
MIXED. ! take n hame strap from .
harness. which is n inch wide and
about two feet long. Standing on the
right side OF the COW, the strap IL
taken by the buckle end on the left
and passed around the cows left hind
leg just over the gambrel: the end OF
the strap is brought back between tho
cows legs. and Ia given one or two
turns arou.d itself. II Is then passed
in front of the right leg, brought
around and securely buckled tight
enough SO 1t cannot be pulled down
over the joint, but not tight enough to
prevent the cow from standing com
fOrtably as long AZ she behaves her
self.
THE COW is net SO badly frighten-
ed with her legs confined in this way
as she Is with one tied to the floor,
and It is impossible for her to kick
or lift either foot suficiently to dis
turb the mixer. n no ~harshness ID

ENTTH THE WORLD,S
BEST WRITERS\
VERSATILITY NOT RECOGNIZED.

When ! dub Whistler All immortal
writer. a mean precisely that so long
as there are people interested in the
subtler ramifications Of English prose
as an art, so long will there be a few
constantly recurring readers of The
Gentle Art" writes Max Beerbobm in
the Metropolitan. Theer are In Eng.
land, at this moment, a few people to
whom prose appeals as an art. But
none of them, | think. has yet done
justice to Whistler's prose. None has
taken II with the seriousness II de.
serves. | am not surprised. When a
man can express himself through two
media. people tend to take him lightly
y his use Ct The pe!Wm TO which he
devotes the lesser time and energy,
even though he use that medium not
less admirably than the other. and
even though they themselves care
about it more than they care about the
other. Perhaps this very preference
in them creates a prejudice against
the man who does not share It, and
so makes them skeptical of his power,
Anyhow. If Disraeli had been unable
to express himself through the me
dunn of political. life, Disraeli's novels
would long ago have had the hue
which the expert is just beginning tc
| give him, Had Rossetti not been pri
marily a poet. the expert in painting
would have acquired long ago his pres
ent penetration into the peculiar value
of Rossetti's painting. Likewise, II
Whistler had never painted a picture
and, v e so. had written no more
than he actually did write. this essa,
in a, t,reciation would have been fore
stalled again and again.
