MOTORCYCLES IN GERMANY.

In this years German army
maneuvers the sight will be wit
messed Of motor tricycles speeding
about the battlefield. Hitherto it has
been found that much time was lost
in rendering medical assistance to
the woanded. To prevent such de-
lay during the coming maneuvers
field surgeons will be mounted upon
specially constructed motor tricycles
made on the lines Of those now used
by tradesmen, in which will be car
ried all the necessary material for
first aid.
In the past a wounded man had
10 be carried on a stretcher to the
nearest lazarette before help could
be rendered. In future should he
find it impossible to treat the case
on the spot, the surgeon can himself
convey the man to the lazarette on
his motor tricycle. The machine
will be built so that it can go over
heavy ground, and it will, owing to
its speed, save many hours of weary
waiting TO the wounded.

The great deeds of history are
for the most part only common
actions done in great time and fol-
great ends, The Gettysburg ora
ton wasn't Lincoln's first speech
Waterloo was not the Duke Of
Welfington's first fight. The mid
night ride of Paul Revere was not
the first time he bestrode horse
to do good turn. Each of these
events had behind them many
many of the same kind, done pa
tiently and ploddingly day by day
just as the painter darHbs and daubs
until one day he discovers he has
daubed a masterpiece. The doing
Of the common thing as well as
you can helps you to all unco1n-
mon position where the, to you
common performance assumes q
finish that only ploelsIng practice
could give it.-Detroit News.

A TREE THAT WEEPS.

During the driest months Of tie
Rhodesian year-August. September
and October-a tree called by the
natives MukoloTo exudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives the traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate vi
cinity the impression that a shower
Of rain is falling. When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: '"The mukololo is weeping for
rain" Even during the hottest day
the tree weeps copiously.

It seems to be about as hard for
a humorist to live down his repu-
tation as such and be taken serious
ly, as it is for a criminal to out
live checkered past. Mark
Twain once said: 1T is the in
corrigible custom of the public to
see only humor in the hnmorist,
however serious his vein. Not
long ago wrote poem, which |
never dreamed Of giving to the
public, on account of its serious
ness; but on being invited to adj
dress the women students OF a
great university | was persuaded
by a near friend to read the poem.
At the close Of my lecture said:
Now. ladies, ! am going to read
you a poem of mine'-which was
greeted with bursts Of uprorious
laughter. But this is truly seri-
GUS poem,' I asseverated, only to
be greeted will, renewed laughter.
Nettled by this misunderstanding l
put the poem in my pocket, saying:
We'll, young ladies, since you do
not believe me to be serious, |
shall not read the poem'-at which
the audience almost went into con-
yulsions of laughter"

ASToNIsHED THE "oLD MAN"
His 'Rah'Rah Son by No Means the
"Dude" He Had Hitherto
Seemed to Be.

The new governor of a western
state has two sons. One is big and
husky like his father, but the other is
more slight; and at times he rather
vexes his father by his affectation of
'rah-'rah-boy clothes and general air
of lassitude and dudishness.
The two sons and the father were
in the library one night and the name
of a prizefght referee came into the
conversation. The 'rah-'rah boy had
been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs,
but his ears pricked up at the mans
name and he drawled: Il rather like
that chap. He's all right"
What do you know about him?'
the other brother asked, rather con-
temptuously.
ooh. he gave me a shade the best
of it one night"
Gave you the best of it," both
father and brother shouted.
Yes; you see fight under the
name of Young Ryan and he counted
