Sophv gave cry of pleasure at seeing him. '' A
brave man who loved his King and served mon

Lukovitch was as excited and hurried as ever.
He thrust letter into her hand. From StenovicS,
madam, for you to read, he said
She took 1t, saying to Lepage with touch of
reproach: Are you General Stenovics' messenger
now, NJ. Lepage?'
She obeyed and then signed to LukovtCh to take
it, and to ZerkOvitch to read 1t also. 1t is just
what you have been saying, she told him with
faint smile as she sank back in the high oaken seat

So the Generals letter says.

In that case, which General Stenovics didn't

Then YOU sir will understand that the guns
will certainly reach Slavna not later than Sunday.

officer with another nod

SOME DON'TS FOR MOTHERS.

have Just seen book Don'ts for Hothers by
Gabrielle E. Jackson, which contains so much com
mon sense wish you could all read it. Here are
some of the bits of advice it contains list would
be well for every mother to commit to memory:
Don't expect the average nurse maid to rive the
intelligent attention you would yourself give: had
she your brains she would not be a nursemaid
Don't say, "Oh, do be quiet" do sit still"
Remember that bones and muscles must develop
Make a place for them to do so. This is your duty
Don't forget that "What?" and WHY" are the
best manifestations of normal brain. Take time
and pains to make it grow wisely.
Don't take your small child shopping.
Don't, as you value your motherhood "scod
Don't fail to give the why every time YOU
give command. You want the obedience of an in
teligent reasoning being, not that of an automaton
Don't let your child suspect that the world can
hold more delightful companion than mother if
you would keep IAN anchor to windward"
Don't forget that the mother who can enter info
all her childrens pleasures has discovered mar
velous youth restorer"
Don't bring up your children upon a steady diet
OF "Don'ts, miserable priclly little word that it j..
and sure to rub the wrong way
Don't correct your child in the presence of others
You yourself would find this very hard to brook so
why regard this little being as less sensitive?
Don't overlook an untruth, yet weigh carefully be-
tween untruthfuness and vivid Imagination If
is often hairsplitting task but no mistake sboud
be made.
Don't forget that in assisting mother" into the
car IN walking upon the outer edge of the sidewalk
or picking up the handkerchief she has let drop your
little Iaddie is moulding the true gentleman
Don't fail to listen attentively and patiently To all
the little trials which come into the live. of tio.o
small people Help adjust them. and remember that
at SIX they are as great in proportion as those which
daily come into your own life
Don't offer brides as an inducemcnt to good be-
havor

north Africa. Ages and ages passed. but the waters
aided by storms, kept eroding, until the passage
way around Gibraltar finally cut about as it is
to-day. Some day the rock itself through the wash
of ocean and sea, will fall into the and new
beach be constructed. Nature tears down and then
builds up. Gibraltar will be no exception to the
rule
This conclusion, though, right wrong, does not
affect the intention to make the great fortress bloom
with roses and bear on its rugged front things
that are useful toward supporting human life. The
turning of the rock into series of farms and gar
dens is strong testimonial to the belief by the
wises that it may again be used for purposes

THE FOX AND THE STORK.

a Fox once asked Itork to dine,
And thought it would be fun so fine
In shallow plates the food to set,
So that the StOrk could little get.
The Stork could barely touch his bill,
While Mister Fox Tapped up his fill;
Yet when his poor repast was through
The Stork politely said ''Adieu!"
This favor soon the Stork returned.
And at the feast the Fox discerned
Glass jars with long necks filled complete
With savory-smelling nice mince-meat.
Then said the Stork, Come, eat your fill"
And quickly thrust in his long bill;

CHANGING THE LOCK OF GIBRALTAR.

For two hundred years past the Rock of Gibraltar
has been celebrated the one mpregnabe war for
tress OF the world 1t has been written of the one
fortified rock earth that assaants could not can
ture. Originally owned by Spain, it finally passed
into the control of England and now ruled bv that
government. 1t guards the entrance into the Med
lterranean Sea from the west, what England calls
the natural passage way to India" 1t is covered
with great cannon, stocked with ammunition and con-
stanty guarded by soldiers Many of its defences
are secret and visitors not permitted to inspect
them' But now, as perhaps indicating a change of
Ihe times toward peace and the coming of the dav
when war shall be more it is announced by the
English War Department that this great rock is to
be covered with fine soil and grapes fruit trees
flowers and arbor trees to be planted there with
view to changing the front of the historic pile from
that OF frowning fortress to the pleasing picture of
green things that aid human life and beautifv The
work of changing the soil character began i'm 1908
ana Will be continued until the very crest of the
rock itself, verdure shall have grown If is estmat
ed by the engineers who have been looking into the
project that it will require about ten years time to
change Gibraltar from its present severe aspect to
one of rural beauty The defenses and guns are not
to be abandoned the vigilance of the government
controlling them but it is believed that by subject
ing the rock to cultivation, it will become less of
war menace and more of peace advocate and at any
rate that life there the part of the officers and
men IN charge will be more pleasant than ever be-
fore
The rock of Gibraltar has history almost if mt
completely, old that of man. In the ancient
Grecan history it figures in the exploits of Hercules
and 1T was known to the early Phoenician sailors
VINO visited what is now England, discovered tin
made friendship with the natives, and sailed the
oceans as freely do mariners of to-day Although
England owns Gibraltar now, the history of the GOV
eminent is very young alongside that of the rock
Inc Egyptians made drawings and maps of the pile
seven thousand years ago and that is all of six thou
sand years before England could claim government
OF her own. Gibraltar has been signal or sentinel
to mariners since, so far we know, the history
OF man began Its origin is explained by DR.. Richard
Hegener, of the Berlin University, thus:
Europe and Africa once connected by land
NO waters divided them at present You could
walk from Paris to Cairo without wetting your feet
what IS now called the Mediterranean was then an
inland sea whose waves beat up against the rocky
wall that cut them off from the Atlantic Finally
wind and wave, heat and cold broke through this
wall, and on the north side left the great head
OF Gibraltar and on the south side the rocky shore of

About a humble bee:

I've had such lots of fun

CHILDREN's NAMES IN SYRIA.

In Syria the names of children are very odd They
suggest those of the Red Indian, inasmuch as the
child's is apt to be something which occurred
at the time of its birh-somethng which interested
the parents. For instance if you were child of
that country your in all probability would be
STUFFED Cabbage" or Hotel" or County Council"
or something like that. If child falls sick his
name Is Immediately changed Instead of his parents
thinking that piece of pie too much pudding dis
agreed with him. they attribute his sickness to the
fact that his name did not agree with him. When
one understands what these names are one does not
wonder that the child may have fallen sick because
