of hostilities 1.-TWO weeks of actual
warfarel and worse deeds have been
committed since.
Wounded Soldiers Killed
"Such as they are, they show, among
other things, that wounded soldiers
lave been finished in large numbers
/ by shots fired right against the faces
of the wounded; that Pont-A-Mousson,
an open and undefended town, was
bombarded, the hospital, which is an
Historical building having especially
suffered; a number of villages, among
them Parux and Affleville, have been
methodically destroyed, house by
house, soldiers being, as it seems, pro
vided with implements enabling them
to perform that kind of work with a
minimum of trouble; nurses bearing
coDspicuously the badge of the Red
Cross have been assassinated; numer-
GUS inhabitants have been put to
death without pretext or provocation,
among whom, at Badonville, the wife
of the mayor. In some cases, notably
at Billy on the tenth of August, the
German troops, when they marched
from the place to charge the French
troops, madeoth women and children
walk in front of them.
The Hague's Rules
Attention is called, as regards such
deeds, to two texts: Article III OF
the convention of The Hague, which
was proposed by the German dele
gates themselves, that the belligerenr
who might cause such destruction as
those mentioned above would bt
bound to indemnify the injured part.
and would be reported for any sucl
acts committed by members of hi
army.
"In the second place, even if civil
lans had taken up arms on the inva
sion of French territory by the GEL
mans, they would have been With
their rights and the killing Of ther
wholesale would have been undefen(
able, for Article w of the same col
vention reserves to the population {
a Eon-occupied territory the right, o

The 6utterfIy's Immunity.

"The general immunity of butterflies
and day-fying moths from attack by
insectivorous birds is as strikingly
evident in India as it is in England or
America, and seems a serious diff
Guilty in the way OF accepting the
Batesian theory of mlmicry. Not only
do the birds of this district" writes
an Indian correspondent of Nature,
pay no attention to the common but
terfiies but the latter seem to despise
the former. In contrast with this inn
munity. | have found that nocturnal
moths II forced to take long flights
during the daytime. are liable to at
tack, and in these circumstances
stand poor chance indeed of reach
ing a haven of refuge.
at seems, then, that unfamiliar lepi-
doptera are much more liable to at
tack than the common everyday
kind"

Cured by Suggestion.

Mental healing has long been prac.
ticed, but Doctor Berillon OF Paris as
serts that psychotherapia is the medi-
cine Of the future. He does not put his
patients into an hypnotic trance. but
places them in an environment which
creates the appetite for sleep and in
vites them to repose on a bed and
think Of nothing. Then he leaves
them. They gradually succumb to the
tick-tack of metronome.
When the patient is in a hynotic
slumber, If it is desired that he should
be cured of excessive indulgence in al
cohol, the psychotherapist suggests to
him that he cannot raise a glass Of
absinthe to his lips, and repeats the
suggestion until the prohibition is SO
engraved on his brain that II he would
he could not do so.
Doctor Berillon is frequently con-
suited by those who wish to be cured
of an unhappy love passion. Through
hypnotism they obtain their release.

Reader WIN Think II Should Have In
cluded an Account Of What the
Fish Man said

There was man walking through a
mountainous region one day selling
fish. As he went along he called:
Fish for salel Fish for salel"
Going through valley he CHANGED
TO look up and on top of a very tall
mountain which doomed into the sky
he saw a tiny hut, and closer his eagle
eye seemed to discern signs OF life.
Being an ambitious and painstaking
fish man. he settled his hamper Of
fish more firmly on his back and slow
iy climbed up to the top of the NOUN
tain. When he reached the hut he
knocked at the door and man came
out. and he said to the man: ANY
FISH today?"
The man took his pipe out Of his
mouth, and looking over the deal, re-
piled: mo fish today"
The man went back down the noun
tain. When he had reached the bot
tom he happened to look up and he
saw the same man in front of the hut
beckon to him. Once more he set
tied his fish hamper on his back and
once more slowly climbed up to the
top OF the mountain. When he got to
within hearing. the man in front Of
the hut said to him:
II don't want any fish today or to-
morrow, either"

RENOwN WON BY cRlppLEs TALE IS HARDLY COMPLETE
Numerous Cases Where InfrmltIes
Have Not HIndered the Climbing
Of the Ladder Of Fame.

Many persons, crippled in early age,
have, notwithstanding their infirmity
made a name for themselves in the
history OF the world.
The notorious, or famous, according
TO the point of view, French states
man Talleyrand, the friend of Napol-
con. and for a time French ambas-
sador at the English court. was
through an accident when one year
old, rendered a cripple for life. His
cunning. cleverness, political penetra-
ton, adroit intr1gues and ingenious
subterfuges we're vehemently opposed
by the emperor's wife, Josephine, who
theoretically denounced him as
Cursed cripple"
Both Lord Byron and Sir Walter
Scott were lame.
Mrs. Browning, the distinguished
English poetess, was Of delicate con-
stitution, and never enjoyed robust
health. Her sufferings we're due to
an accident which happened in her
sixteenth year. She was one day try
ing to saddle her pony In field when
she fell with the saddle upon her, in
curing an injury to the spine. The
after affects were so serious that for
years she had to recline on her back.
In every walk of life. crippled per-
sons have won renown. and proved
that their inflrmity has by no means
hindered their rise up the ladder OF
fame.

Beware of This Tree.

In the island of Grenada, British
West Indies, there grows a most pc
culiar tree, the only one of its kind
in the West Indies. It's leaves resem-
BILE those of the so-called sensitive
plant, but whereas the sensitive plant
is quite small shrub, the angry tree
grows to a height of about five or six
feet.
AS you approach the tree its leaves
begin to shake and the whole tree
shivers. but If you venture to touch
it, so indignant will it become that It
will bend until its branches touch the
ground. At the same time 1t sends
out a most obnoxious smell which
forces one to retire. After a time the
tree RECEIVERS and becomes quite
placid.

whereas on the advance earlier In the

demand for that position has recently
been less active, but some who covered
May shorts on the advance TO p.s3c for
that position were sellers of July against
