The Post of Dancer.

The Seur de Joinville in his memoirs
Of st. Louis tells US that certain
man, sore beset by the pressure of
temptation, sought counsel from the
bishop Of Paris, whose Christian name
was William" And this wise William
of Paris said to him:
'"The castle of Montlhery stands in
the safe heart of France, and no invad-
Ing hosts assail it. But the castle of
La Rochelle in Poitou stands on the
line Of battle. Day and night it must
be guarded from assault. and it has
suffered grievously. Which, gentle
man, think you, the king holds high
in favor, the governor of Montrhery
or the governor of La Rochelle? The
post of danger is the post of glory, and
he who is sorely wounded in the COM
bat is honored by God and man.

The effects of air resistance are well
shown in the twelve and half miles
Simplon tunnel. where an exception
ally high amount Of energy is required
for running the electric trains. The
tunnel, which is fifteen feet wide and
eighteen feet high, with a sectional
area of $50 square feet. has a venti-
lating current of $3.50 feet cubic of air
per second, maintained by two large
blast fans at the Brigue end and two
exhaust fans at lselle. Trains going
with this current encounter less re-
sistance than in open air up to fifteen
and half miles m hour. but at higher
speeds or in the opposite direction the
resistance is much greater than out
side Moving by gravity down the

dent. train. even though going with
the current cannot exceed thirty five
miles an hour on account of the brak-
ing by the air.

KILLING COOKING odors.

No odor of cooking should greet the
guest in a private home or even an
apartment which claims to be of the
exclusive class. A simple and agree
able deodorizer may be made of a
handful of cloves, allowed to scoreh
with bits Of orange peel on tin plate
In the oven, says the Kansas City
Star. This mixture imparts a fra
GRANGE not unlike that Of carnations,
and, scattered about the rooms. it will
completely destroy the odor Of cook

the country the wise housewife may
gather sweet clover, and the sprigs.

hciOus fragrance to the house linens

purchased in little bags at trifing cost
and makes a delightful fragrance for
the linen closet.-Exchange.

Old Turkish Customs.

AS long ago as 1913 Coryate visited
Constantinople and has left a minute
account of its manners and customs.
Among other matters he notes that ''it
is the custom that whatsoever any fire
ariseth in the city to hang up him In
whose house it beginneth. as now a
cook in whose house it begun was
hanged up presently after the fire ceas'
ed The Turks themselves, it appears,
were models of good breeding. 1.-The
Turk doth never at the saluting Of his
friend at any time of the day or when
he drinketh to him at dinner or supper
put off his turban. as we Christians dc
our hats one to another. but boweth
his head and putteth his right hand
upon his breast, so that he utterly dis.
iiketh the fashion that is used among
US of putting off our hats. Therefore,
when he wisheth any i'll to his enemy
he prayeth God to send him no more
rest than a Christians hat"

A Disappointed Pensioner.

Mrs. Eigginsons letters to her hus-
bands family in Brattleboro, says
Mary Thacher Higginson in her biog-
raphy Of Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
son. always contained characteristic
comments on her husbands doings
"Wentworth has been away two
days this week. she wrote, land is
going to Washington tonight to fight
for women. I wish they had been fixed
before we were born. y Lately he
has been trying to find father and
grandfather for some stray grill don't

but 1 suppose he will persevere. l

but he is naturally thorough, you

The colonel explained in postscript:
'The case of this girl is that she
wants a pension because her father
was soldier and died in a military
prison. / have come upon only two
obstacles to her wish:
First, that she is not the mans
daughter.
Second, that he is still alive"

Infantry Decides the Battle.

While there have been many discus
s;ons ms 70 the relative value of the
different branches of an army. there
is no doubt. according to a writer in
the Scientific American. but that it is
the infantry that wins battles.
While it is probable the success of
ii battle will depend 10 a large extent
on the support of the field artillery.
it is certain that the principal ana
most important arm is the infantry,
which III practically every ease must
decide the final issue. The cavalry
may be the first 10 be drawn into a
battle and the artillery may destroy
the enemy's artillery. but a battle is
never won until the infantry has driv.
en- back the enemy's lines.
The usual mode of advancing for
the infantry is TO deploy them in Il line
with long interval between each sol
der. This naturally is for the pur-
pose of Offering a smaller target for
the enemy. 1t makes it more diff
cult however. for the leaders to keep
as good control over the men. and for
that reason one of the objects of field
artillery is to make the enemy's troops
deplOy early.

ConstantinopIe,

Constantinople was known as Lygos
until 65S B. c., when it blossomed forth
into ByZantium and bore that name for
close on 800 years. Byzantium, like
Rome, was built on seven hills, and
this resemblance led Septimus Seve-
rus to rechristen it Nova Roma. On
making the city the capital of the Ro-
man empire Constantine the Great be-
slowed his own name upon it, and
ever since it has been known as Con-
stantinople in the western world This
name, however, is ignored by orientals,
who have called it Istambul and SIAM
boul since its capture by the Turks in

Diamond Dust.

Wild oats make bitter bread.
Truth is Gods daughter.
To be man is to do man S

We make mistakes; other peo-
pie commit sins.
Early prudence is large part
of heavenly providence.
The giver must teach thee to

Nothing worries worry worse

Love makes the heaviest load

Always sit on the sunny side

Faith without works is dead,
but faith without hope is a

Character is what You are,

Half OF success is in seeing the
significance of little things.

SOLDIER BURIED ALIVE.
[From the New York Herald I

The terrifying experience of
an Alsatian soldier in the French
Army, who was buried alive in
a trench under a pile of dead men
and who escaped in a manner al
most miraculous, is related in
the Figaro. The soldier, Fred
erick x. comes fran Strass :
burg. Like all Alsatians, he
was forced to serve his three
years in the German Army; then
he decided to spend the rest of
his life in France.
In Paris, in the latter part of
July, he was summoned, witt,
other one-time German soldiers,
to the German Consulate, and
there received orders to return
for the mobilization. Instead OF
obeying he went to the French
Army headquarters and enlisted
in line regiment, where, be-
cause of his military training,
he was one of the first sent for
ward to fill up the ranks of tile
fighting forces.
His organization was station
ed on the line near Rheims when
his ordeal, as he related it at
base hospital, occurred.

ORIGIN of a Word.

Few words have so remarkable his
tory rs the word bankrupt" The
money lenders of Genoa, Venice and
Florence had benches or stalls in the
bourse, or exchange, In former times.
At these benches they conducted theiI
business. When any of them became
insolvent his bench or bank was bro
ken, because he had no further use
for it, and the name banko rotto. OF
broken bench, was given to him. When
the word first came into use in Eng.
land it was nearer the Italian than II
now is, being 'bankerout' instead OF
bankrupt.
