A Bullet Stopped the Game.

Alfred de Musset. the poet and
dramatist, was almost as fond OF
chess as Of poetry. He played nearly
every night at the Cafe de la Regence.
and even the revolution Of February.
1913, did not divert him from his
habit. He turned up as usual and.
finding no one there TO play with. In
sisted that the walter should make a
game for him. The waiter did so,
though fuslllade was raging in the
street outside. and all went well until
a musket bullet smashed mirror In
immediate proximity to the board.
Musset was anxious to continue In
spite Of the interruption. but his on
ponent would not. "With monsieurs
permission" he said. 1--WE will adjourn
the game until after the republic has
bnen proclaimed. Paris Gaulois.

Tho COURAGE Of Life.

The two virtues that help us along
most I'm life are trust and courage.
Apart from the tragedies invited by
sin and violence and self indulgence.
large part OF our trouble comes from
anxiety. distrust, apprehension. 1t was
not all frivolity that dictated the an
swer Of young girl who, being urged
to prepare herself for profession or
definite work. responded: I'm not
going to look ahead and worry. l can
do a lot of useful things. l can mend,
and make salad, and amuse children.
and be patient and economical, and
help people to enjoy themselves. and
l don't believe nice girls starve." Cour-
age and faith are always assets. Even
If life goes back upon them and falls
to come up to expectations the prac-
tice of these virtues is just that much
to the good. and we have at least not
lived I'm the evil moment until 1t ar
rived.-Harper's Bazaar.

THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS.
They Extend East and West For More
Than a Thousand Miles.


Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan Is by way Of Alaska. Nearly a
thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, which extend
In chain east and west for more
than a thousand miles, are inhabited
by the remnant Of the Aleuts. Their
war Of the revolution closed just as
the American Revolutionary war be-
gan. So patriotic were the Aleuts, 80
brave I'm their struggle for independ-
ence, that they succumbed to the Rus
slams only after conflict Of nearly
fifty years, and then simply because
the race was almost exterminated In
the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an important link In
the commerce between the United
States and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Bering
strait lie two little islands, one occu-
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States. so that citizens Of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within few miles Of each other

For Peace OpIv.

1t is well known that the Friends
have always been devoted to the prin-
ciples of peace. AS they had con-
trolling. influence In the public affairs
of Nantucket, there was no military
organization on that island for several
generations. How the matter WIS
managed Is told by the author Of
September Days on Nantucket"
Whenever military companies came
to the island for n holiday young wo-
men thronged the windows and waved
handkerchiefs. but there was no rise
of military ambition In the town.
Once n coterie Of young men formed a
training company and sent to Boston
for equipments, but their elders COM
PEELED them to make the first article Of
their constitution read. This company
shall he disbanded Immediately In case
of war"

These birds may not be the real
Irish starlings after all, but if they
are a Connecticut product, they are

MOURNING CUSTOMS.
They Are Very Ancient, and Experts
Differ az to Their Orioin.

They Are very Anciont, ano Experts
Differ az to Their Origin.
The origin of going into mourning
was discussed recently by a body Of
nnthropologists. Some students hold
that the wearing of black was orig
inally disguise assumed as protec-
ton from the dead persons spirit
The idea was that the deceased was
naturally disgusted to find himself
dead and that he wreaked his resent
ment upon his relations. Therefore
the relations thought that to alter
their appearance would be means of
escape, and all over the world wells
were used to hide the faces Of mourn
ers-a practice still surviving In the
impenetrable veil Of the widow.
The DISCUSSES mourners used-such
as the veil. the turning OF the clothes
inside out and the shaving OF the head,
as practiced by the Ainos-were SIM
pie enough, but supernatural beings
were always, it appeared. easy to
trick.
Another theory Of mourning was
that 1t was put on to warn people that
its wearers had been contaminated by
death. There was an idea Of pollution
attached to the great mystery. All
early people shared the horror Of death
and the fear Of the return Of the spir-
It's. Thus In the Sudan widows sprin-
kle their food with ashes to prevent
their husbands ghosts from eating 1t.
