pisausted Dog.

In certain house there was a very
flne baby and also very fine dog.
they were much attached to each 9TH
er, and the only thing that marred
heir pleasure was baby's daily bath.
During this proceeding baby always
howled himself black and blue, and
The dog, out Of sympathy, crouched in
the corner and moaned. After a
month or two of this daily anguish the
dog devised a scheme to stop it. One
day, while baby was bowling os usual,
the dog came marching into the room
carrying a rattle in his mouth, and,
standing by the tub, shook his head
and the rattle vigorously. Baby actu-
ally stopped crying minute to see
what this unusual proceeding meant,
but then began again with extra pow
er. The dog dropped the rattle with
disgusted air, and after that day,
always managed to be out Of the house
during the babys bath.

Soldiers CT the Middle Ages DrastlcaI-
ely Punished Comrades Who
Showed White Feather.

Punishment for cowardice in the
German army at the time of the Thir-
ty Years war was so severe as to be
ferocious. In the year 1912 the Swed-
ish General Torstensson stormed Leip-
zig. A force under the command OF
the Grand Luke Leopold gave him
battle before the gates Of the city, but
during the engagement the Madlon-
ische regiment became suddenly panic
stricken, and fled.
Punishment Immediately followed.
When the regiment had again assem-
bled, six other regiments surrounded
It, and tried it by court-martial in the
open field. The verdict was that the
colonel and the captains should die by
the sword, and that every tenth man
among the noneommissioned officers
and men should be hanged.
The stern verdict was carried out
to the letter, except that at the re-
quest Of Leopold the men were shot,
instead of hanged; Col. George Mad
lonische was beheaded, after he mad
sought In vain for a pardon. The sur
vivors were consigned to quarters with
other commands, and the regiment
never regained its name or former
prestige In those days, there was no
alternative but to be brave. Cow
ardice meant either death or everlast-
ing disgrace.-Y Youths Companion.

Deadly weapons Of War.

individuals attain considerable skill
in handling the bayonet. 1t is almost
a mooted question in military circles
whether the bayonet or saber is the
better weapon. The saber, undoubt
edly, is the quicker weapon, and more
skill is needed to handle 1t. Its user,
however, depends entirely on the
strength of his right wrist and right
arm, whereas the man with the nayo.
net can SO regulate his thrusts and
parties that nearly every muscle OF
his body is brought into service.
That, it is seen plainly. gives the bayo-
net the advantage in the latter stages
of a duel between men armed with
bayonet and saber.

WATCH THE CHILDs READING
Nay Seem to Be UnImportant, But
Little Consideration VIII Show
Its Real Value.

Few Of US realize the enormous
power Of literature upon childhood, for
it is so insidious in it's action. Book
after book is read and, we think, for
gotten, yet those very books are the
ones upon which opinions have been
formulated; here a little and there a
little, we have amassed our knowl-
edge through them as medium. We
hear parents exclaiming at the ex,
traordinary ideas their children have;
they often say they cannot think
where they have got them from and
add that they never thought such
things in their young days. OF course
they did not; the last generation read
much less and Travelled far less than
the present one; there were no cir
culating libraries and books so cheap
that q few pence could buy them
Their opportunities were limited with
in much narrower circle, and it is
because of the very facilities which
our children now have for reading ev'

than ever that they should be super
yised in the matter. The control will
not be felt, If only from the first those
in authority would take the trouble
to read aloud and Ast delightful
books. A child watsnisas found BY
experience that he has received the
keenest enjoyment when hearing OF
reading books recommended by his
parents, will be more likely to ask fol
advice and discuss what he has reat
with them. So the trend Of his men
tai growth can be directed, and those
who are responsible for his education
will have a better knowledge of hi'
individual development and will mel
ther retard nor unduly force him.

Bile against the sky, and the crowded

began to recede gradually from the

sailor on big ship that had a smoke
stack But soon he saw the friendly
shore fading away in the distance and
only the sky, vast, far-reaching, empty
and frlendlegs, surrounding his gaze at
every side. and he began to wish his
companions were still with him. His
feeling of loneliness gave way to a
gnawing hunger. He began to tremble
violently, his lips quivered; he looked
down at the dizzy deck below and he
began TO cry. Nobody heard, he was
30 high from the deck, and all alone
he finally sobbed himself to sleep.

sailorman, eh?" asked Commandant

SLEEP TO AVOID EXHAUSTION
Theory Of Swiss Psychologist seemS tc
Fit Into the Common Sense
View Of the Matter.

Most OF US believe we sleep because
we are exhausted. But Doctor Clapa
rede, Swiss psychologist, advanced q
new theory, which is to the effect that
we sleep to avoid being exhausted
The theory is that sleep, instead Of
being the result Of fatigue. Is an i'm
pulsive self-disinfection which the body
conducts in order to get rid Of the
waste products before they have time
to produce exhaustion.
Just as combustion of fuel for the
production of heat and energy always
is attended by ashes and Stag, so the
slow combustion which produces heat
and energy IN the body likewise Is at
tended by waste.
"Since the senses never voluntarily
come to rest or shut themselves on
from the outer world, point eventu-
ally would be reached when the or
ganis'n would perish as q victim Of
general nerve exhaustion. In order to
hinder this nature arranges betimes. |.
e., before exhaustion can seriously in
jure ths organism, to get in motion
that opposition current We term
Sleep"
The sight-endowed animal tends to
take its sleep at night, since the slim
uli which govern the animals vital ac-
tivities are then cut of. For animals
endowed with other special senses, but
not with sight, the night is not so
great factor. These can only block
ade stimuli to the senses either by
creeping into some secluded spot or
by the action of nature in causing an
opportune production Of substance
"a sort of hormone) which acts as an
obstacle by entering the nerve path
and deadening sensibility.

AT PLAY ON STEAMER
Big ship Sailed and the Little Lad
Took Refuge Up on the Huge Fore

Him.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-A little twelve-yeaB
old boy gazed wistfulIy from the Of
ficers' deck of the steamer Verona
arriving from Naples, as guided by
two tiny tugs she swished slowly
through the water into her berth III
South Brooklyn. The youngster looked
askance at the stolid purser, pleading
to be left on shore. But stowaway,
even if only a twelve-year-old child
must remain on board-and little Mon
frinf remained.
On the second day out from the Bay
of Naples, grizzled seaman clam
bered down from the dizzy foremast
with bundle huddled close in his
arms. which upon investigation by
the curious passengers turned out to
be a twelve-year-old youngster hud-
ding in fear. The seaman had found
the slight wisp of youngster curled
aloft in the perch Of the crows nest,
sound asleep.
Brought before the commandant, the
little stowaway was too frightened al
first to say word. Then he hsped
between sobs and sniffies a tale that
moved the stout seadogs. He wanted
to be real sailor, like those who sail
in the big ships that have smoke
stacks" to lands far, far away. His
papa, the youngster plaintiVely con-
tinued, always kept saying no and no.
So what could little Giuseppe do? He
ran away to the boats to set out to
sea.
Up, up the huge foremast of the big
ships that had smokestacks clambered
the little Giuseppe with several of bis
companions while the Verona was
loading her cargo in the Neapolitan
port. Near the very height of the miz
zenmast, where they had reached q
world all to themselves, the youngsters
stopped and began playing with amaz

the watchman on deck finally caught
