Poets Memory Lives.

The saying Christmas comes but
once a year" is attributed to Thomas
Tusser. medieval poet (1524-15S0),
who seems to have been strong on
epigrams. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
1t expression. He was classed as an
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education and partly
because he treated simple themes,
which he understood in a plain and
simple way. Tussor had an ear for
music, and served to order as Choir
lister in some churches of his day.
His first publication was entitled "A
Hundred Good Points of Husband
rie." and later he published "A Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandrie Late
ly Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points of Housewifery." and still later
this was amplifie6 into Five Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery, "
Reprints of these boks are still ex-
tant with an autobiography of the au-
thor in verse. Southey, himself q
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster." Some Of Tusser's phrases
have passed into proverbs.

Once So Bad in Panama a Cat Com

One of the most striking features
Of the present condition OF the Pana-

quitoes. which at the beginning Of the
work by the United States, were
great menace to health remarked
Capt A. B. Delaney of New York.
Before the United States took over
the canal, | visited Panama, and / be-
came thoroughly informed about the
Panama mosquito. On a recent trip
there ! went into nearly every section
OF the zone, in the lowland and upland,
and throughout the rainy season. and
] failed to discover a single insect.
Il remember that on one occasion
my company sent me to Panama on a
wrecking expedition We had on
board our vessel a pet cat which had
been aboard the ship for long time.
She was just an ordinary ship cat
and knew all about fieas. But when
we got to Panama, the cat soon gave
evidence of being uncomfortable. We
discovered that the mosquitoes were
annoying her Finally in desperation
the cat jumped overheard and com
mitted suicide to get rid of the mos
quitoes. She simply could not stand
the Panama mosquitoes"

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Con.
vinced That the Youngster Was
Competent to Give II.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to. for 1t
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, so he wended his steps in
that direction. He soon came across
the young people, and found them in
most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
in both his arms, and was kissing her
as IL he hadn't tasted such dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work-and then made his presence
known.
isn't 1t very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
1T isis rather, pa" faltered the
fair girl: "but-but Mr.. Popple has
been giv-giving me a lesson in as
astronomy"
MY stars!" calculated the old gen.
tleman "He has, and no mistakel l
myself saw him teaching you ho~ the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out of sheer compassion.

HARD WORK TO GAIN FAVOR
European Powers Refuse for Years TO
Recognize King Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria.

King Ferdinand OF Bulgaria was
twenty-six years old when his diff
flcult task began. He had to contend.
with the further hardship that the
European courts refused to recognize
his rank, beyond the continual danger
of plots and attempts at assassination.
which he had to face within Bulgaria.
itself OF his external difficulties a
good story is told:
On one of his unofficial visits to
France-for France did not recognize
him for ten years-King Ferdinand
paid a visit to the Bourbon Due
dAumale, d his uncle, at Chantilly. The
Due d'Aumale was working in his
library when his nephew. without pre-
viously having announced, entered the
room.
Surprised at the interruption, the
duke began to look extremely angry
with such an unceremonious visitor
when suddenly he burst out laughing:

Useless Bullets Issued to Turka.

useless Bullets ISSUED 70 urkS.
Interference to the issue of wooden
bulleted cartridges to the Turkish
troops, it is interesting to note that
similar cartridges are used in the
British army for instruction purposes
Ito teach recruits how to load their
rifles. The or nary brass cartridge
case is fitted with a wooden bullet
painted red. The cartridge does not
contain explosive-a charge of cordite
neither are percussion caps fitted.
The brass cartridge cases are further
perforated in two or more places, in
order that instructors can tell at a
glance that the ammunition is really
dummy" and that its use can endan-
ger nobody. From this explanation 1t
should be clear that the cartridges
picked up on the Balkan battleields
could not possibly have been fired
They were obviously thrown away by
the Turkish troops when they discov-
rered that they were useless.
