the London scowi is a reality appear
to have convinced the journal that
most Englishmen in their daily pere-
grinations wear a look of settled
gloom.
Out OF many thousand faces observed
from points on the busy Strand but
eleven persons wore smiles. OF these
three were coster women. two were
stock exchange employees. three were
news vendors, two were shop girls and
the eleventh was an urchin who was
tormenting a horse with a straw.
We have never counted the smiles
hidden away In the throngs which MI
our own streets. But we believe the
number to be comparatively large.
However. until the dirt and SCOT cease
to sift down into facial crevices and
wrinkles II will not be safe to indulge
in statistics. Many a seeking scowl Is
but a SCOT smudSe which Gv1ns a smile
to die unseen. And here lies still an
other argument in favor of smoke pre-
vention.

When WeIIlnaton Mas neneral.

The greatness OF Wellington is never
more admiringly remembered than in
times of strife-and perhaps never
more usefully quoted. The duke one
day wanted a bridge constructed, and
the officer of the royal engineers whom
he consulted on the matter reported
that it could not be managed. Another
officer was sent for, from another di-
vision of the army, with the result
that the task was duly accomplished.
This caused the duke to put the fol-
lowing in "Orders:" "He who in war
fails to do what he undertakes, may
always plead the accidents which in
yariably attend military affairs; but
he who declares a thing to be impos-
sible, which is subsequently accom-
plished, registers his own incapaeity."
Another wise saying" of Wellington
comes from another reader, and it is
to the moment. He was
asked what was the best test of a
great general, and he answered: ITO
know when to retreat; and to dare
to do it. London Chronicle.

Perhaps some sufferers will disagree

There is nothing about this In the

feeling of numbness in the ,eXtremi-

as il would be true of the men referred

the ship has sunk would not get very

for the man thrown out of the thaater.
he would probably admit, IL brought to

that the books quite did justice to

you come to live in it year after year.
We all know of houses that are not
rightly proportioned. They have some
rooms that are small when they ought
to be much larger to properly accom-
modate the furniture necessary for a
good appearance and for the conve-
nience OF the family, as we'll as for
the accommodation of friends, for we
cannot live alone. We often find this
very trouble in the living room or din
ing room and in these cases the mis-
take is nothing short OF a nuisance
that will prove annoying as long as
the house stands.
Other rooms may be smal, without
interfering with our good nature, in
face some OF them ought to be small.
We have learned, for instance, that
large kitchen really is not desirable,
because small culinary shop IS eco
nomical of labor. as it saves steps, a
fact that becomes doubly important

Heard General Sherman say Il.

Recently someone who seemed to
know issued a denial of the prevalent
impression that Gen. W. T. Sherman
said war is hell" j. P. Francis of
Nickerson declares ne heard General
Sherman say it. He writes: Il never
understood that General Sherman used
the term war is he'll in any of his or
ders or official correspondence, but did
use the term in a public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus. o., in
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the oc-
casion which called the famous ex-
preston from the general General
Sherman. in his address, referred to a
particular military feat which called
(On part of the troops selected to per
form the task assigned them) for
heroic courage to accomplish the task

narration the militia boys gave

when the wife and mother is The only
one to perform the many kitchen du-
ties necessary to the feeding of a
growing family.
Our grandmothers travelled many
weary miles in going back and forth
across large kitchens that were rOomy
and cool in summer and roomy and
cold in winter. They had few helps
I'm the way Of pantries, cupboards,
shelving, kitchen cabinets and other
modern conveniences, such as are con-
sidered necessaries now; but there
was big wood-burning cooking stove
and a generous wood box, which the
small boy of the family was supposed
to keep well-filled by working nights
and mornings between school hours
and bedtime
These old-fashioned Kitchens had to
be scrubbed once a week and swept
every day, cleaning task of no small
proportions. There was a big, fiat,
heavy table in one corner without a
knife drawer, and the pantries were
generally partitioned Off in the most
awkward ways possible; sometimes in
opposite corners, which required trav-
cling back and forth a great many
times in fetch and carry process.
People seemed to live to fetch and
carry In those days. They carried
burdens of considerable weight into
those big, old-fashioned kitchens, and
some of the packages were stored
there for future use. There was
barrel Of apples, bags Of potatoes and
a -four bin, all Of which had to be
moved at cleaning time. The wood
box had to be hauled away from the
wall SO the floor could be cleaned
under 1t and the Dashboard behind it.
This manner of living necessitated a
large kitchen, but we have learned a
few things by experience, and one Of
these bits Of knowledge has led us
into building smaller Kitchens.

Much Damage by WATERFRONT.

Waterspouts of an unusual size have
become so rare in the plains of India
that the report Of one visiting the
heights of Kashmir is matter for
some surprise. The bursting OF a wa
terspout is an exciting experience,
and, If it is big enough, a fatal one to
those who happen to be within its
reach. Happily there we're few people
close enough to the visitation on the
Sonamgarg road to feel it's effect. But
it's volume may be judged from the
fact that it washed away the road, a
bridge, part Of a village, and drowned
many cattle. After damaging the vii.
lage, the water burst with great vio-
lence down deep narrow nullah. car

supersedlnq Europe.

For the manufacture Of pottery OF
the better grades considerable clay,
mainly kaolin, is imported into this
country from Europe and China, the
value of these imports last year ex-
ceeding two million two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. 1t seems prob
able, says the United States geological
survey, that under the necessity due
to the war Of now finding a domes-
tic supply these finer clays can be
in large part replaced. Already a
process of decoloring kaolin is report
ed as successful, and this may make
large deposits of kaolin and ball clay
available for the manufacture of white
ware and pottery.

women volunteered for service. was
that of transforming the entire coun.
try of Switzerland into a great hos.
pital to which the wounded of all
nationalities could be conveyed. This
would be fitting in the extreme, mas
much as Switzerland was the country
in which the Red Cross had it's birth,
in 1864. 1t was a Swiss. Henri Dunant,
who wrote the famous pamphlet, "A
/ Souvenir of Solferino," setting forth
/ the horrible side of war as he had
! witnessed it during the fighting be
/ tween the French and the Austrians.
in northern Italy in 1859, and it was
THIS pamphlet that led directly to the
formation of the Red Cross society.
founded under a treaty in which %
sovereign states were invited to join
for the sake of insuring absolute neu-
trality to the wounded, in case Of
wdr.
The most important elements in the
foundation of the society were the
Geneva Society Of Public Utility, the
American sanitary commission and
the Order of st. John of Jerusalem,
of which Prince Frederick Charles of
Prussia was grand master, and which
had descended directly without a
break from the old military nursing
order that came into existenc, at the
time of the crusades.
With the exception of the basic
principles of neutrality and human.
ity, the societies in the various coun.
tries have little in common. Each
nation has worked out its Red Cross
according to its own ideas and needs.
In France there are three sections. the
Societe de Secours aux Rlesses Mill
taires, the Union des Femmes de
France and the Association des Danes
Franchises. These three societies
maintain more than ten thousand beds,
in addition to the auxiliary field hos.
pitals which can be established be-
tween the fighting army and it's base
of supplies, and they have established
emergency hospital service in the
waiting room of railway stations. The |
one serious defect in the French sys-
TEN is the training of the nurses. in
which particular it is not to be com |
pared with the American
The German Red Cross is a direct |
branch Of the military service, and it
is organized for efficiency to the last
degree. It's strongest points are the |
excellent training of its nurses and |
its unlimited supply of hospital
stores.
The Red Cross society Of Germany
more than 50O,009 members.
and in addition to its regular military
hospitals, it maintains 1876 auxiliary
hospital, 900 railway medical rooms
and 521 convalescent homes. There
are thousands of trained male nurses,
corps and stretcher bear
ers, and there is one section of the
female nurses to which special train
ing is given, so that they may act as
assistants to professional nurses In
work.
The Austrian system is similar to
the German, although less extensive,
