 In captivity elephants always stand up when they sleep. but when in the jungle. in their own land and home, they lie down. The reason given for the difference between the elephant in captivity and in freedom is that the animal never acquires complete conf dence in his keepers and always longs for liberty.

At Elsenthal, at 1;35 in the morning, three trees were sawn down: at 9:3o the wood. having been stripped of bark, cut up, and converted into pulp, became paper, and passed from the factory to the press, whence the first printed and folded copy was is sued at 10 o'clock. So that in 145 min utes the trees had become newspapers.

 delphia in the harbor It was for his valiant service in the discharge of his duty in the Mediterranean that Mac Donough was intrusted with the de- lenses of Lake Champlain in the war of 1872
 The British force on the lake out numbered the American both in guns and vessels. On the 11th of August, 1914, in the battle of Plattsburg. Mac Donough distinguished himself not only for his success of command, but also for personal bravery in the face of overwhelming odds.
 In the battle off Cumberland Head his vessel. the Saratoga, met and de- feated an English vessel of double her tonnage and number of guns. Most men would have believed that without single gun on one side engaged, a fourth of his men cut down. and the ship already wreck, enough injury had been done to make submission in evitable. But MacDonough found a means to secure victory In the des- perate condition of his own ship.
 The result of MacDonough's valor was the clearing of this lake region of the British forces, which did much to end the war With Perry and Decatur and Porter, MacDonough Is deserving of all the honor that grateful country can render to her loyal sons.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
Capital and Special Training Required
 of Them There.

of Them There.
 To the young man whose eyes are turning toward Mexico as country presenting great opportunities for ac- quiring wealth without capital or spe- cial training the information embodied in a recent report of our consul at Mexico City should be timely and val uable.
 Much that Is in this consular report has been said before. but 1t will bear frequent reiteraton, because of the singular tendencies of Americans to re- gard Mexico as a promising land for the pioneer. The type of pioneer who opened up the Western country for settlement is likely to fail In Mexico, for the reason that the country is al- ready fairly well settled, and devel- opment of its resources calls for capi- tai and special technical training.
 The consular report warns Ameri- cans of the dangers and losses attend Ing an indiscriminate emigra ton, such as blazed the way for civilization in our Western country. There is room only for men with capital or technical knowledge, or both. If one is not pos sessed of expert technical knowledge or ability in the industries that four lsh in Mexico, one must be able to se- cure the services of men who are thus equipped. Capital will not extract wealth from the natural resources of Mexico unless 1t can command the services of the trained mining eng1 neer, the trained architect, the trained veterinarian, the skilled agriculturlst. In addition to technical skill, or the ability to employ 1t, the report urges a speaking knowledge of the Spanish language, without which the chances of success, 1t declares. are exceedingly small.
 The report warns young men against taking any stock in the stories about the easy going methods of Mexico" The strain of the climate and the tus- sle with the elements severely tax the energy and strength. For the man of great physical energy, who knows how to take care of himself, and who pos sesses capital or technical ability, there are great opportunities for mak- ing money in Mexico.-Opportunity.

QUEER THINGS TO EAT.
What was Served at the Table of a
 London Epicure.

What Was Served at the Table of
 London Epicure.
 Here is typical insect menu, of which no one need be afraid to par take. since every item has been known and esteemed by insect eaters for gen erations past It was served, not long ago. according 10 Pearson's Weekly, at the table of a rich London epicure, who Is also an enthusiastic advocate of an insectarian dietary: Green cater pillar soup, fried locust with wood louse sauce. curried cockchafers. wasp grubs baked in the comb, stag beetle larvae on toast, moths baked in bat ter, deyiled wireworms, grasshoppers "au gratin."
 The green caterpillars that compose the soup feed entirely upon vegetables, and mostly upon particular vegetables most relished by man, such as cab bages and lettuce.
 In appearance the soup Itself is not unlike clear turtle, while its flavor is delicious.
 The locusts, which constitute the sec. ond course, have, as every one is aware, been esteemed by gourmets the world over, and from the remotest antiquity. Eat ye the locust after his kind" was the biblical injunction; and John the Baptist is recorded as having lived for some considerable time upon "locusts and wild honey"
 There are, of course, many ways of preparing them. They can be fried, after their legs and wings have been plucked of. which was as matter of fact, the process adopted in this particular instance. Or they may be powdered and baked into cakes, or curried. or boiled. turning red, like Holsters, in the process,
 The woodlouse sauce, If properly made with fresh butter, flour, milk. pepper and salt, will be found fully equal te shrimp. which 1t much re. sembles in taste. Indeed, the wood louse. although he lives on land, Is first cousin to that much rellshed crust acean.
 Cockchafers, curried or otherwise, are delicious If selected of a service. able size and plumpness So. too. are their grubs. when full grown. They should then be at least two inches in length and fat in proportion, and may be eaten uncooked. like oysters, or stewed in milk.
 Perhaps, however, the most tooth some of all insect delicacies is that which comes forth on our menu of the day"-wasp grubs baked in the comb. These grubs have been fed by their parents on saccharine fluid con- posed of fruit and vegetable juices and are simply tiny balls of sugary fat, possessing a flavor as exquisite as 1t Is unique. No one who has once tasted them will ever again be surpris- ed at the preference shown by fish for this particular grub when used as a bait
 The stag beetle larya Is, of course, identical with the cossus. which the old Roman epicures used to fatten for their tables upon flour and wine. The sixth course should be served steam ing hot, since there Is no more ap- petizing odor than that emanating from a plump baked moth.
 Deviled wireworms are eaten in the form of a paste, spread upon sippets of toasts, and taste not unlike an. chovies when treated similar fash. ion.

AguinaIdo 1s Now Cultivating Rice
 and Potatoes.

Col. William F. Scott, who is In the United States on leave of absence from the Philippines, was interviewed at Kansas City the other day. when he made an interesting statement concern ing Aguinaldo. It appears that the former leader of our island wards has gone out of the business of rebellion, or patriotism, or whatever they call it over there. and turned his attention to the propagation of the potato and the production of hemp and rice. The dauntless warrior who made 1t neces- sary for Funston to swim a river with his sword in his teeth, has apparently put away ambition, along with the golden collar, the silver stick and other emblems of sovereignty which he had

In every country of the civilized world Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spir- itual and intellectual needs of the charges committed to their care, but they also minister to their bodily needs.
 With so many children to take care of and to protect from climate and dis ease, these wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna never failing safe guard.
 Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters from all over the United States. A recommend recently received from Catholic institution in Detroit, Mich, reads as follows: Dr.. s. B. Hartman, Columbus Ohio:
 Dear Sir: "The young girl who used the Peruna was suffering from Iaryn- gitis and loss of voice. The result of the treatment was most satisfactory. She found great relief, and after further use of the medicine we hope to be able to say she Is entirely cured" Sisters of Charity.
 The young girl was under the care of the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for catarrh of the throat with good re- suits as the above letter testifes.
