MODIFYING THE OATH.

Beginning by expressing the hope
that it would not be controversial
Prime Minister Asquith in the Brit
ish House of Commons yesterday
afternoon introduced the government
bill altering the form Of the kings
declaration on his accession to the
throne.
I do solemnly and sincerely and
in the presence OF God profess, testify
and declare that l am a faithful
member of the Protestant Reformed
Church, by law established in Eng
land. and | will accordingly, to the
true intent and the cnactmcnts which
secure Protestant succession to the
throne of my realm, uphold and
maintain said enactment to the best
OF my power according to law"
The following is the modified oath:
THE old oath declared the sover-
eign's disbelief in the doctrine of
transubstantiation and denounced the
alteration of the Virgin Mary or any
other saints, as practiced by the church
of Rome, as superstitions and idola-
trouS.
Mr.. Asquith expressed the hope that
the House would not enter into full de-
bate on the bill.
Mr.. Balfour, leader of the oppo-
sition, joined Mr.. Asquith in this
wish. He said that when the late
government, ef which he was prime

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SAFE.

Count Zeppelin's passenger alrshlp
Deutschland, the highest developed of
all the famous aeronaut's models, is on
top OF the Teutoburgian forest pierced
with pinetree stems, mass OF debated
silk and twisted aluminium. The 80
persons aboard, after wild contest
with storm, escaped uninjured, climb
ing down rope ladder from the wreck
on the pine tops. Herr Colesmann,
general manager OF the new airship
company; Chief Engineer Duerr, OF
the Zeppelin Company, and Captain
Kannenberg, who personally had charge
of the crew of 10, and 20 newspaper
men sailed from Dusseldorf, Germany,
at $50 O'Clock yesterday morning Tor
a three hours excursion.
The objective point wassDortnundt,
about So miles from Dusseldorf, but
a high head wind prevailed and an
effort was made to reach Munster, u
garrison town, so that landing might
be made on the parade ground by the
aid of the soldiers, and it was realized
that it would require large number OF
them TO hold the vast contrivance
of silk and metal against the wind.
1t was dangerous to attempt land
ing in an open field because of the
storm, as the metal was likely to pound
to pieces. In the high wind one of the
motors refused TO work and the other
two were not powerful enough to make
any progress i'll the gale.
The airship drifted. swaying in the
violent gusts and sometimes leaning to
an angle of 40 degrees, and all the
while the enginemen were at work re-
pairing the disabled motor. When this
was done all four screws were driven
at their full power, under which III
normal conditions the airship was
capable Of attaining speed OF 40
miles an heslr .s-Bu: ''iu ilclnisinan w;ts
unable TO keep his course, and the
great craft was swung about at the
mercy of the winds.
Coesmann did not dare to turn the
ship around for fear OF overturning,
and he decided to drift in the gale.
which was blowing at the rate of 80
miles an hour, toward Osnabruck,
which is also garrison station. II he
missed that he would continue on to
Senne.
Suddenly he perceived whirlwind
coming and assembled to a height OF
nearly 4 900 feet TO avoid the worst OF
it. With the whirlwind came an ava
lanche of rain. After half an hour
the Deutschland came down to permit
of observations and it was seen that
the Teutoburgian forest lay below. The
forward motor again stopped and Coles
mann sent five of the correspondents
to the aft gondola to ballast the vessel.
The Deutschland sank rapidly, hav-
ing lost much gas in the high attitudes,
and dragged along the top Of the dense
forest. A heavy branch of tree broke
through the floor OF the cabin amid
ships, throwing two OF the guests to the
floor. Other branches ripped through
the gas compartments and the whole
great structure settled down 80 or 40
feet from the ground.
The airship for which Herr Coles
mann,s company had just paid S1S7,-
500, looked total wreck. The frames
were brokon, but the motors were not
damaged. The silk was ripped and had
fallen in torn mass on the tops of the
trees.
A rope ladder was swung down and
everyone was mustered below, unin-
jured, except for 4 bruise or two.

Hanging of Hammocks.

A seasoned camper who has learned
many things to make outdoor living
comfortable has given this rule for
hanging a hammock:
The head should be two feet higher
than the foot. This gives a comfort
able curve. The proper distance is
about sin feet from the ground for the
head end and four feet Tor the foot.
Another important point is to have
the head rope shorter than that at
the foot of the hammock. If he mead
one is about foot long and the other
four and a half feet, the head of the
person will feel little movement
while the body swings. This over
comes that feeling OF nausa which
keeps many persons out OF ham,
mock.
There are many improved ham
mocks these days Those with stiff
fleming for both ends give almost the
effect Of an open air bed. Some of
them have slightly raised sides to
prevent falling out.

Teaching Children About the Birds.

Suppose, while you are out-of-
doors and just in the midst of bite
into a sandwich or a piece OF choco-
late cake, you find that the little
birds. if given a chance will eat up
the greedy caterpillars which strip
the trees of their leaves? And sup
pose somebody tells you that if it
weren't for them you couldn't take
second bite or even a first out OF the
sandw ich, for insects would multiply
so fast that they would eat up every
thing in the world? Don't you think
you would be surprised'' ask Jean
nette Marks and Julia Moody of the
children in page of introduction to
the new "Story-Told Science" book,
soon to be published by the Harpers.
"A Holiday with the Birds" And they
add, before beginning the story OF
the three children and their merry
times, After you have read OF the
kind of homes birds like, the way
they dress and fly, how they are made
and what they eat and how they
breathe, of their aunts and uncles
and cousins, and the long Journeys
they take, think you will realize
how wonderful human eyes are to see
so many things"

Sleep and Beauty,

childhood up, but it is a need we
neglect Systematically as soon as we
escape from the guidance of our par

it is far from being so. Nerves. eyes
complexion, the entire system, fight
for their rightful amount of sleep;
not only sleep, but rest. The per-
son who feels tagged out and over
wrought looks it, and to look that
way is not to look beautiful. 1t affects
not only the skin eyes. carriage. etc,
but leaves its indelible mark upon

Rcing Agreeable.

II requires tact and judgment as
we all know, to decide when it is best
to talk and when to listen. In the
presence of men and women of super
Tor talents and accomplishments or
of wide experience of the world we
must be wary and not let our vanity
run away with us. To such persons
we may not be able to afford in
tellectual stimulus, and therefore it
will be we'll to avoid giving our OPP
inions at length, unless these are
called for. With men and women of
small talent and accomplishment we
must also be on our guard, lest they
find us didactic and wearisome. 1t is
with our intellectual equals, or with
persons of generous disposition
who like TO draw out the talents of
others, that We feel the greatest free
dom and attain the happiest results.

The teeth must have their daily
brushing after each meal, and if the
mouth is rinsod out in the morning
with some lotion and water and be-
fore going to bed with the milk of
magnesia and water, it should be
kept in healthy antiseptic condi-
ton. We should go to a dentist at
least twice a year to have the teeth
examined and cleaned. Then no seri-
Gus trouble can come. White, even
teeth are wonderful addition to
beauty WHAT beauty can there be
when tie opening of the rlouth re-
veals discolored or misshapen teeth?
One unconscously recoils from the

wholesomeness as well as of ugli-

misshapen teeth are utterly inexcus-
able.--Harper's Bazaar.
