"My Mothers Face.D

In every life there is hope
A guiding light, a star
To me it is my mothers face,
Which shineth from afar.
My first remembrance is of her,
AS in my crib / lay,
A smooth, fair girlish face 1t was
That prayed DER me that day.
Each childish grief, my tears, my joys,
Were by her always shared,
With sleepless nights and toll by day,
She smoothed the path l Jared.
The memory of that face in school,
Those days of fun and zest,
Like some quiet, shining beacon light,
Urged me to do my best.
The sweet face now is wrinkled, white
The dark curls tinged with gray,
But still her trusting faith in me
Keeps me on the narrow way.
When life is spent and I go home
To that great mystery,
If I shall reach my God right hand
Her face will welcome me.

MODERN WAR is MERCIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover to Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused That view is almost GER
Rinly inaccurate. The modern bull
ht says the Scotsman, unless it is OF
the sOftnosed type, is on the whole
nerciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim a fair chance of re-
COyery, 1t does not, as a rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
y unknown 60 years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more eff
hctiVe than in the pre-Lister days.
@pidity Of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres.
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in a Brit
kh hospital within "a hours of
receiving their wounds. If the
risk Of being hit is greater, the
chances of recovery from injury have
been immensely increased.

HAD NO USE FOR EDWARDS
Soldiers CT the Middle Ages DrasticaI.
ly 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 fed.
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 noncommissioned 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 had
sought in vain for pardon. The sur
vivors were consigned to quarters with
other commands, and the regiment
never regained it's name or former
prestige In those days, there was no
alternative but to be brave. Cow
ardice meant either death or everlast-
ing disgrace.-Youth Companion.

you come to live in it year after year.
We all know Of houses that are not
rightly proportional. 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 well 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 nuisance
that will prove annoying as long as
the house stands.
Other rooms may be small without
interfering with our good nature, in
face some of them ought to be small.
We have learned, for instance, that a
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

fine baby and also a very tine dog.
They we're much attached to each otn-

their pleasure was baby's daily bath.
During this proceeding baby always
bowled himself black and blue, and
the dog, out Of sympathy, crouched IN

month or two of this daily anguish the
dog devised a scheme to stop It. one
day, while baby was bowling as 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-
aIly stopped crying q minute 70 see

but then began again with extra pow

a disgusted air, and after that day.

SLEEP TO AVOID EXHAUSTION
Theory OF Swiss Psychologist Seems to
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 a
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
Dulsive 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 of
from the outer world, point eventu-
ally would be reached when the or
ganism would perish as a victim Of
general nerve exhaustion. In order to
hinder this nature arranges betimes, l.
g.. before exhaustion can seriously in
jure the 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 off, For animals
endowed with other special senses, but
not with sight, the night is not so
great a 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
Ga sort of hormone) which acts as an
obstacle by entering the nerve path
and deadening sensibility.

Another advantage in this style of
house is the small amount of room
taken up in Railways, especially the
upper hall. You land in the middle
of the house with doors almost with
in reach that open in to the different
upper rooms. This hall is well light

from the register or radiator IN the

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 we're roomy
and cool in summer and roomy and
cold in winter. They had few helps
in the way of pantrfes, cupboards,
shelving, kitchen cabinets and other
modern conveniences, such as are con-
sidered necessaries now; but there
was a big wood-burning cooking stove
and q 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

WON FIRST VICTORIA CROSS
Highest Priced War Emblem Of Great
Britain Awarded to Sailor for
Daring Deed.

The stories cabied from England Of
how British bluejackets in the recent
naval engagement off Helgoland
picked up unexploded shells that fell
on the decks of their vessels and
threw them overheard recall the fact
that the first Victoria cross was
awarded to sailor in the Crimean
war for performing exactly such a
feat. He was Rear-Admiral c. D. Luz
cas-, R. N, who died several weeks
ago, just about the time hostilities
broke out He was an acting mate on
board the Hecla, of Admiral Napier'S
fleet, in the Baltic, and the feat which
won him the cross was performed dur
ing the bombardment Of the Aland
islands, where the Russian and Ger
man fleets were reported as having
been engaged in the present war.
The shell which dropped on the
Hecla's deck was fixing when Lucas
leaped forward and pitched it over the
side. There was only the barest frac-
ton Of unburned fuse between him
and destruction, but he was cool and
collected in his manner Of performing
the exploit. Captain Hall, his COM
mander, brought the deed to the at
tention Of Admiral Napier, who wrote
to the admiralty that he trusted
their lordships would mark their
sense of his act by promoting him"
Accordin ely, he was promoted to lieu
tenant, and upon the institution of the
Victoria Cross the first of the decora-
tions was conferred upon him.
