The Mission of the Mind.

And the sleet's keen daggers strike al

Wartime courtes,es.

Ernest Vedel, Paris literary man,
was lieutenant in the French navy.
At one time he commanded a small
warship charged with the duty of pre-
venting the entrance of foreign ves-
sells into Siamese harbor. A Scan
dinavian ship, with a Siamese COM
modore who called himself Armand
Duplessis de Richelieu, attempted to
enter by the alleged authorization of
the French minister at Bangkok. M.
Vedel wrote note in these terms: IF
you don't desist. l shall open fire."
Then he learned that Nine. Richelieu
was with her husband, and he tied the
note to magnificent bouquet. The
commodore with the illustrious name
desisted. and thanked the polite lieu
tenant profusely for the flowers.

Monarch Fond of Puddines.

Bluff King Hail. otherwise Henry
VIII. of England, was exceedingly
fond of puddings. At one time he
gave certain Mistress CORVALLIS
house in Aldgate, for herself and
her heirs forever, "in reward of fine
ruddings." In King Henry Wills
private accounts occur again and
again entries of his rewards to differ
ent housewives for bringing him pud-
dings. A typical instance runs thus:
Item. The same day paid % the wife
that made the king podings at Hamp-
ton corte. Wis. Wild" This would be
about SITS. but its value was 1auch
greater when the entry was made.
This love for fine puddings" explains
much in the familiar rotund figure Of
King Hal.

Value Of Eucalyptus Tree.

Australia's eucalyptus tree is being
grown on large scale in southern
Europe and northern Africa because of
its tendency to drain swamps. This
was formerly supposed to be due to
the abundant exhalation of watery
vapor from its leaves, but it has been
shown that actually the Transportation
of the eucalyptus is only one-half or
one-third that of willows, birches and
other trees. 1t is therefore assumed
that the phenomenon in question is
due simply to the rapid growth of the
eucalyptus.

"The Yellow Riessina."

In recent issue of Japanese
magazine, Gicho Sakurai writes under
the title "The Yellow Blessing" He
believes that, for various reasons.
which he lays down in detail, what the
Russians call the yellow Peril" will
be really blessing for the world. In
brief, the argument is to the effect
that, first the present war has proven
that Asiatic races are not morally and
physically inferior to Europeans; sec
ond, that they are not inferior to the
West in matters of lofty moral ideas
and humanitarian conception; third,
that it Is their vocation to spread the
humanitarian principles more widely
than they have ever been spread be-
fore; fourth, that the Japanese soldier
is really fighting for constitutional
government and against despotism;
fifth, that Japanese triumph will
mean a triumph for religious freedom
as against Russian religious bigotry:
sixth, that one of the causes of
Japan's victory is the education which
is given in Japan without any distinc-
tion OF caste or creed; seventh, that
this war is holding up before other
Asiatic races a good example Of what
education and liberal ideas can do;
eighth, that with the termination of
the war, Oriental nations will be in a
position to improve their condition
along the ways of peace; ninth, that a
Japanese triumph will be of immense
advantage to the commerce of the
Orient; and, tenth, that the Russian
people will themselves be benefited by
Japanese victory

FLATTERY AND REAL PRAISE.
Distinction That Is Worthy Of Careful
Consideration.

I'VE sometimes fancy we hate fat
cry, when in truth 1t is the manner of
1t we dislike" said La Rochefoucauld.
Stripped of its cynicism, the saying
comes to this: that while praise 10
eternally pleasant. there are fashions
in flattery, and those fashions change
very completely. Flattery is innocent
or despicable, not according to wheth-
er or not 1t oversteps the limits of the
accurate, but whether or not it pro.
ceeds from an interested or disin-
terested motive. There are moments
when true statement of honorifc
fact made for the selfish purpose of
the speaker may be gross fattery
while an exaggerated speech may be
justified by its good intention. The
real question is not what was said,
but why it was said. That is the only
test by which we can divide the con-
temptible from the harmless kind.
Surely there is less of the worse sort
than there was-or do we but fiatter
ourselves?

Quality of Eggs.

Many people imagine that a brown
shelled egg is better than one with a
white shell. This is purely imagina-
ton, and the only way to test the rich
ness of an egg is to break 1t and look
at the yolk. The deep orange yolks
are the best and the pale yellow ones
the poorest City hens or those which
are badly fed and whose runs and
roosts are poorly ventilated and badly
cleaned lay the pale yellow egg. Those
which live in the country lay the rich
orange ones, as do all wild birds.
Anaemic eggs contain less iron than
rich ones. and are far less nutritious;
but there is only one way to test an
eggs quality, and that is to break it..

Oldest Livino Thino.

An old yew tree stands in the
churchyard at Fortingal. in Perth
shire, which De Candolle. nearly cen
tury ago proved to the satisfaction of
botanists to be twenty-five centuries
old. and another is still standing at
Hedsor, in Buclas, which is 3,240 years
old. How de Candolle arrived at an
apparently correct estimate of the
enormous age of these living trees is a
simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless well known to-day to all. The
yew, like most other trees, adds one
line, about the tenth of an inch, to its
circumference each year. But the
oldest living thing in the world to-day,
SO far as known. is a cypress tree in
Chapultepec, Mexico, that is $3.50
years old.

NOISY BIRDS OF THE NIGHT.
Have to Call Loudly to Attract Their
Companions.


All the night birds are noisy. They
cannot consort with one another in
happy companies as do the warblers
and thrushes and finches. and sing
and whisper, but must call loudly and
long to one another in the darkness.
On coasts where petreIs and certain
other night-hunting seabirds abound,
all day sitting on their eggs or hiding
In burrows. you will hear no sound
from morning till night, but after dark
the air is filed with shrill cries. The
loud. reiterated calling of the South
ern uck-will's-widow, and of its
Northern cousin, are familiar. A
whipporwill will sound its cry several
hundred times in succession without
pause. Owls hoot. or utter a harsh
sort of laughter, rarely pleasant to
listen to. and nightherons and bit
terms squawk and boom. Sweet songs
occasionally heard in the darkness are
those of wakful day birds. as the
nightingale. or our own oven-bird.-
