HEADQUARTERS. ARMY OF THE
GERMAN CROWN PRINCE. France,
Nov. 2O.-(By courier and cable)-
Undoubtedly, this Is the stupidest'
the most senseless, the most unneces-
sary war Of modern time. 1t Is a
war Germany did not want. can as
sure you, but It was forced on us and
the fact we were so effectually pre-
pared to defend ourselves Is now be-
ing used as an argument to convince
the world we desired the conflict
The above were the words by
which Frederick william crown
prince OF Germany opened his first
interview ever given a foreign news
paperman They prefaced the first
direct statement made to the press by
any member Of German royal ram
ily since the outbreak of the war.
The crown prince greeted me cor
daily. without the stiffness or cool
reserve which might have been ex-
pected.
'I am soldier, therefore cannot
discuss politics" he said, "but It seems
to me this whole business, all this
action you see around here, Is sense
less. unnecessary and uncalled for,
But Germany was left no choice In
the matter. From the lowest TO the
highest we all know We are fighting
for our existence,
"Slnce we knew this war was fore
cd on us, It became our highest duty

END OF THE EARTH.

The Latest Figuring Puts 1t Only Two
 Million Years Away.
 Scientists tell US that life on the earth began about 100000 years ago. 1t has generally been accepted that life will last for 05,OOO,OOO years.
 Ninety-five million years is fairly long time. None of us who are alive today need worry about what will take place 95,OOO.OOO years hence. Even the most altruistic can scarcely be inspired by love for an inconceivably remote posterity.
 But the French savants are alto gether disturbing. Here comes one. M. verronet who says that the earth will permanently freeze within the next 100000 years and that life will van- ish. This is bringing the tragedy near CT home. We would gladly accept the older reckoning.
 Verronet places mankind of today about midway between the beginning and the end. He computes that in the future life will exist as long as 1t has already existed. He specifies only one forty eighth as long life as those who have studied in the past.
 There is only one consolation to be derived from the Verronet reckoning. As far as the influence of today is con- cerned 100000 years is as good as 95 100000. In either event those who are comfortably laboring today cannot expect to be lovingly remembered when the cataclysm of ice makes the earth barren wilderness.-Clevela Plain Dealer.

Men and Oaks.

Once as was botanizing under an oak I found among number of other plants of similar height one that was dark in color with tightly closed leaves and a stalk that was very straight and stiff. When l touched it, it said to me in firm tones: "Let me alone. l am not for your collection, like other plants to which nature has given only a sin- gle year of life. am little oak"
 So it is with a man whose influence is to last for hundreds of years. As a child. as youth. often even as full grown man-nay. his whole life long he goes about among his fellows, look. ing like them and seemingly as unim- portant But let him alone. He will not die. Time will come and bring those who know how to value him. Schopenhauer.

Conditions That Should Be Studied Be-
 fore 1t is Too Late.
 Marriage. from any point of view, Is of course Il serious proposition. as 1t may bless or wreck two human lives, if not more. Not the least important of these points of view is that of the health of both parties to the contract. The health commissioner of Pennsyl- vania in an official bulletin gives the following advice to those about to marry:
 First, a man should not marry un- less into family with history of reasonable longevity, free from hered- itary disease. He should not marry woman advanced in life, delicate, feeble or afflicted with any inherited deformity. The age most proper for women in this climate is nineteen or twenty years and for men twenty-four or twenty-five years. Women of a nervous temperament, those who are extremely irritable. hysterical, subject to convulsions or to epilepsy from or ganic disease, ought to avoid matri- mOny.
 "In this country marriages before the ages of twenty-five and nineteen respectively are contraindicated. be- cause. as rule, previous to these pe- riods of life the body is not fully de- veloped. the different functions are not perfect. and any offspring developed by +bor,, i,, <hoir i'm mn t11~o condition muSt be deficient in vital power"

"CAMEL'S HAIR" BRUSHES.
The Very Best of Them Are Made From
 Squirrels' Tails.

The Very Best of Them Are Made From Squirrels Tails. It may sound rather strange, but it is nevertheless true that no brushes are ever made of camels hair, yet they are asked for daily and sold as such.
 There are very many kinds of hair used in the making of 'cameps hair' brushes. such as bear, fox, rabbit squirrel. etc., and, indeed. one au- thority states that over 15O sorts of brushes are known as 'came1s hair' brushes. but there is only one defni- tion accepted by the British board of trade-i. e.. "camers hair" brushes made from squirrel tails, these being the best and most expensive.
 Real camels hair is absolutely use less for making brushes and resembles soft tow of a yellow brownish color. The mane of camel is the only part which could be used. and possibly a dozen brushes could be made from one mane.
 | As a matter of fact, there are only two specimens of brushes made from the actual hair of camel in existence. The reason for the term "camel's hair is the fact that man named Camel was the first one to make these finer kinds of brushes, and they became generally known as real camers hair brushes."-London Answers.

The mountain of the Rigi. ill Switzer- land, commands a panorama of 4OO miles in circumference, which includes the lovely lake of Lucerne, and is nn- surpassed for beauty. The Rigi was known to only few travellers in the eighteenth century. but after the peace of 1915 it became resort for the curl ous, the first dwelling having been erected in 1914 Now many hotels are in a 6ourishing condition, and it Is popular even in winter.
