French view point They are visible reminder of French nationality and naturally enhance the prestige of that government which has strongly sup ported the rights of these schools with diplomatic representatives, These French schools maintained by the Jes uits are enormously successful
 Germany has tried, but with poorer success, to give the German language the right of way il Turkey, but the German tongue does not succeed in corresponding ratio with the other German triumphs here So, along the Bagdad railway, the Germans are obliged to use the French language. Great Britain has belatedly come to realize the advantages of the educa- tional agency in promoting her pres tige. In ConstaltiEople an English High School for Boys has been opened with a fine staff of teachers out from England. The education giv- en is in the English language and along English lines. The teachers avow that they are promoting the Brit ish type of education as a matter of imperial policy. On this basis they are supported by the British press and British officials. and they look forward to a gran from the British govern ment, just as an appropriation would be mad, for the maintenance of Con sulate.

Washington county's blueberry crop has netted this year revenue of moro than 100000, according to State Horticulturist Albert K Gardner of Rockland. This industry was started but few years ago in that county and the yield this year is the largest yet obtained there. One grower realized $75 from few bushes which he set out in his orchard as side issue" A man near Cherryfield is said to have raked blueberries from the vines just as cranberries are gathered.

MISS SUSAN GLAsPELL'S DOG
VoiIa the Original of the Puppies in Her Story, "The
 Visoning."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has dog, which fact is of more impor- tance than might at first appear. For in her new novel, "The Visionary" are introduced two frolicsome puppies named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And there are no two more real characters in the whole book than Why and Amt It, to use their names in English form.
 It was Miss Glaspell's own dog, a Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere ation of "The Visioning's" twin puppy clowns. The real dog also has French name Voila. When it's owner bought it, over in Paris, she wanted at first to name it Raspail, both ill mem- ory of the boulevard on which she lived and as a sympathetic cognomen for sensitive souled Parisian dog. But her family objected. They could not see their way clear to shouting, Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!' So Miss Glaspell compromised on Voila.
 Voila has vagaries It is Q wan derer. It is collie, and a collie, it evidently thinks, ought to be atield. Whenever it feels that way, away Voila goes. Fortunately it wears a collar with Miss Glaspells name and address. She has come to thing noth- ing of such a phone message as this:
 Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! We'll, dis is der bartender bic Hans Bum melransen's saloon. No. no, vait! didn't got der wrong phone number. choost want to say got here your tog. Will you come for him?"
 Then the author of "T'he Visoining' has to drop chapter plans and seek out Herr Bummelransen's place with sorrow-and dollar. But were it not so there might never have been N'est-ce-pas and a Pourquoi.

FROM TEXAS Some Coffee Facts From the Lone Star State.

From beautiful farm down in Tex as, where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through fiowery meads, comes note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit.
 When my baby boy came to me five years ago, began to drink Postum, having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it, for it enabled me, a small, delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing, healthy baby 14 months.
 q have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it, and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself.
 My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off coffee and using Postum. He has be- come even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee.
 In, fact, the entire family, from the latest arrival Ga 2-year-old who always calls for his potie' first thing in the morning), up to the head of the house think there is no drink so good or sc wholesome as Postum." Name giver by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek, Mich.

QUEER CHINESE BUG
Tenodera Sinensis Has .'.preared
 in This Country.
Curiosity From the Orient Said to Have Been Imported by Green house Owners to Destroy
 Insects.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Tenodera midst nowadays and the insect ex- perts at the Academy of Natural Sci ences on Logan Square have been kept busy recently answering ques- tions as 10 what the queer-looking in sects are and where they come from.
 Philadelphia is about the only American city that is the home of the Chinese Mantis. About 10 years ago a number of the insects were brought to this city from China on some plants that had been imported by the Meehan Nurseries, in German town. Gradually the mantis spread through Germantown, and are now rather abundant north of Market street. That they will in time spread throughout the city and suburbs, and, perhaps. in time throughout the coun- try, seems probable.
 The mantis, according to Dr. Henry Skinner of the Academy of Natural Sciences. has no sting but has rath- CT large mouth and will bite if an- noyed. Several weeks ago a woman living in Germantown became terrified when one of the insects flew against her arm. She declared that the bug stung her and that her arm was bad ly swollen for several days
 Not a day has passed that several persons with the insects in bottles have not come to the Academy to have their pets examined. The man. tis lives on smaller insects. such as flies. mosquitoes and gnats. Accord ing to Dr, Skinner, the bug is really valuable. The eggs of the mantis are laid in autumn and hatch in spring About the last of August the mantis becomes full grown and lives until
