BENE DICTIoRs.

The first to introduce monastic life
into western Europe was st. Benedict,
who was born of a noble Italian
family, about 480, and who died on
March 81, 543. His festival. is ,.cele-
brated today by the members of the
famous Beuedictine order OF monks,
of which he was the founder. Benedict
was sent to Rome as ,a5 lad To be
educated, but he soon fed from the
wicked city and sought refuge iii the
desert mountains of Subiaco: For
three years he lived in an Amos In.
accessible ave The fame Of /
isafctity soon gathered disciples about
him, but ne made enemies OF some OF
his monks by the rigor OF his rule.
He built a dozen monasteries al
Subiaco, and then removed the Monte
Casino. where he founded an abbey,
in which he wrote his rule. n where
he lived until his DEATH. His slRegula
Monachorun1.' Or rule of the monks
became the common rule of western
~nlonachisra. No other religious order
has been 10 remarkable for It's extent,

20 LITTLE sI named Gwen had fixed a squirrel house o a pear tree
- near an old apple tree. From the little house the squirrels could jump
u ID about thu branches, and that is what squirrels enjoy doing. they
certainly had the most beautiful time playing" said daddy as he be-
gan Jack and Evetynis story. 49,. =. y *~# ~
Now, the apple tree was ear Ovens bedroom, and the SQUIRRELS could
Jump from the apple tree to her window sill, where they were very likely to
find nuts waiting for them.
When the days began to get O little warmer Gwen hung Just outside the
window sill a little hammock and waited to see IL the squirrels would dare to
swing gin it. Having all the nuts Gwen put ON her window sill and seeing her
DO such kind things g often made them pretty tame. And, too, they appeared
TO realize that 1T was Gwen who had seen to the building Of the little house.
But the hammock seemed very strange to them at first. However, ONE
very brave squirrel thought he'd try it and jumped into the hammock. Gwen.
was watching back of a curtain, and it was all she could do to keep from
actually using her little hammock. After awhile the other squirrels tried it,
Before long one OF the old squirrels began to scdd for all he was worth
y, q Q was very much annoyed and all the squirrels stopped swinging in the
hammock. They seemed to be paying great attention to the old squirrel, and
Gwen wondered what it was all about.
The ods squirrel was the leader, and he was the n who always gave
the directions and did all the managing. This, in squirrel language, was
what he said:
Nov. don't you know you can't spend all your time iding! You In the
LATEST lot Of squirrels I have ever known. Don't you know that YOU must ret
to work? This is the season for US to tap the strip from the maple trees. and
you ire spending your time swinging in a hammock It is all very well to
play but then there is work to be done. We don't want to waste u TINA
and let all the good sap go, do we? And you really do want the maple slruu.
you?
"oR they started to scamper to the nearest maple tree. Gwen put IN her
nat ana coat and followed along to see what they were going to do. They
got all the sap they wanted and smacked their lips over it. They enjoyed the
work really, for 1t meant good times to follow, and they were glad the wise
old squirrel had told them about 1t in plenty Of time"

MAKE NAVY USEFUL.

Dispatches to The Forum yesterday
brought the information that a move
Is on foot to put a certain class OF
United States navy vessels. the cruis-
ers, to practical use In times Of peace
by making them carriers of mail, pas
sengers and freight. 1t Is said that
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels favors
the plan.
And why not? 1t looks to a land
lubber like a good sensible scheme to
get some value out of these fighting
machines. that the nation has been to
such great expense to build. in order
thai it may be protected at sea.
Much criticism is made against the
tremendous expenditures for navy
maintenance. Uncle Sam spends vast
sums to build splendid ~seagoing YES
sells which necessarily must be made,
large. roomy and as fast as the crack
transatlantic liners. And after thew
are built, equipped and manned they
float about in harbors for months at a.
time waiting for a war or a rumor Of
war, n in a few years they are obso-
lete and ready for the junk pile.
If it IAN be found that the navy or
even a portion Of it, can earn some re-
turns on the money invested, In times
Of peace, a long step will have been
taken in solving the sea policing prob
lem.

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1914.
NO TUBERCULOSIS "cuRE."

In spite Of the statements of a num-
claimed that they have found a "cure"
for consumption, the National asso-
citation for the study and prevention
of tuberculosis, the highest authority
on this disease in America, declares
that there is no information at hand
to justify the belief that any specific
cure for tuberculosis has been discov-
cred which deserves the confidence Of
the medical profession and the peo-
pie.
Backing up these statements, the
United States Public Health Service
declares that outside of the three es-
sentials in the treatment Of consump-
tion, namely rest, fresh air, and good
food, there is no drug known however
rare or expensive it may be that has
any curative action in this disease,
and all remedies advertised as such
are to be avoided. Patent cough med
icines are harmful; radium, X-ray or
electricity in any of its forms have
III SpSGldl ' didS III luDGl CutCGAS u IA
lungs. No serum has yet been found
4hat will sure it, and there is no plas-
ter or poultice which has an effect on
the disease itself"
The National association is planning
in the near future to institute an eX-
Eensive campaign for the suppression
of the numerous fake consumption
cures, which are annually cheating the
public OF the United States out Of
no less than SIS, 00O, 900 and besides
are depriving numerous innocent VIC
tins of the chance for a real cure.
Consumptives who are taking rene
dies Of this character will be warned
through advertisements and in other
ways against the danger of such pro-
Cedure.

establishment and development Of two
banks. So long as the banks flourish
ed and made good profits the interest
on the loans was paid; but when, ow-
ing to transportation, bad times
came and the banks got into difficult
ties, Mississippi made this the excuse
for ceasing all further payments to the
~bondholders. For a state to repudi-
ate it's obligations to its creditors be-
cause the investments it chooses to
make with their money do not turn
out profltably is absolutely iadefensi-
BILE, and, far as the the council are
aware, such an argument has never
been resorted to by even the most
backward of the Spanish American
Republics"
The report intimates that a pro-
posal is o before the foreign Office
to secure a settlement OF the claim
against Honduras, but very little hope
is entertained OF it being successful.
The amount due the Honduras, includ-
ing interest is roughly $12i, 900, 900.
AS no interest has been paid since
1872, and the rate on the loans was
10 per cent the amount is largely made
up Of unpaid interest.

WAITING.

Serene / fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, mol
sea;
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For, 10! my own shall ON tc
me.
/ stay my haste, T make delays;
For what avails this eager pace:
I stand amid the eterna ways,
And what is mine shall know my
face.
Asleep. awake, by night Or day,
The friends I seek are seeking
me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
| wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up it's fruit Of tears.
The water know their own, and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
heights;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delights.
Yon 1oweret ,nodding in the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee;
And, maiden, why that look unkind?
For 10! thy lover seeketh thee.
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time. nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from
me.

WHY EGGS INCREASE IN PRICE,
Hens Lives Are Shortened by Demands
Made on Them.

AlS ~ ~VItl2tl0G
Made on Them.
New York Mail: Did you know that
when a chick that is to become a
hen pecks open the shell and steps
out to salute the king of day with its
wise little eye, it brings with it into
the world, in embryo form, every egg
that it will ever lay?
That is a small fact, for whose truth
biologists vouch, which possesses a
great Importance.
Every: hen has a flxed capital in
eggs handed out to her at the begin
ming of her life. She can not add to
the number. and when she has laid
them all her usefulness in the world
is ended and she will not long sur
ViVe.
The bearing of this on the problem
or the egg supply Is plain. You can
hurry up the production by special
feeding. forcing and selecting process
ses, but o cannot increase the total
number Of eggs capable Of being laid
by any one hen. And, more than that,
you Will perceptibly shorten her life
by every additional dozen eggs you
compel her to lay.
The common hen can lay in a year
from 1870 to $50; the leghorn a lay
from $50 to 1870; the brahma some
thing more than 200. But that is al
most their entire capital, and at the
end of the year their powers are prac-
t1cally exhausted.
In a state Of nature they would not
thlnk of sQ~uandering their resources
IN that way. The jungle fowl, from
which domestic hens are descended,
lays on the average ten eggs in a year
n lives about fifteen years.
The domestic hen, in the hands Of
I1er merciless master, is forced to lay
her whole $50 eggs in a single year,
and II she continues to produce spar
lhgly during the second year it Is only
at the expense Of the small surplus or
reserve fund of germ plasm that ma
ture gave her to provide against the
accidents Of existence.
The people of the United States con-
sumo in n year 16, 900, 900, 900 eggs!

mas been cut down to a veal or two.
she has been turned into an egg pro-
oucing machine, driven at the highest
attainable speed. Not only Is she
ROBBED Of her eggs, but she is also
robbed of her right to be a mother.
She does not hatch out her young
n show them, with motherly pride,
how TO pick up a living, for that would
be a waste Of time from her masters
point of view. He will do the Matching
with a Kerosene lamp and will furnish
patent foods for her %unnursed babes,
while she goes back to lay another
dozen eggs and surrender another year
of her life.
This is the epic Of the hen. It is a.
very poor epic; but, for any person
whose s~ynpathies are broad enough to
include other tragedies and other com.

OF these debts the report, which Is
signed by Viscount Goschen, the new
chairman, says:
TT Is indeed d%eplorable that these
prosperous and progressive states of
the great American Union take no
steps to settle their defauIted debts,
and it seems, to say the least of it,
a n anomaly that the United States
should insist on compliance with it's
obligations by a country, like Santo
Domingo, when SO many Of the states
within it's own borders are not OBJ
serving their own engagements.
The u put forward by these
states for non-payment are manifold,
but they may be generally classed
under these heads:
"Ffrst-North Carolina pleads that
her defaulted obligations were IN
tracted while the state was being adj
ministered by the federal government
after the civil war. The answer to
this. of course, is that the bondhold-
ers have nothing to do with differ
ences between the states and the fed
eral government. One or the other
must be responsible for the issue ofthe
loans in question, and it is most I'M
fair that the state should refer it's
creditors to the federal government
and hat the federal government
should refer them back again to the
state. Tennessee for many years
adopted the same attitude as North
Carolina, but the former was wise
enough to realize that no state can
maintain it's position in the world Of
credit which attempts to justify the
reputation Of obligations by excuses
which, in the cas- Of individuals,
would not be tolerated in any civilized
court of law, and therefore came to a.
settlement with the holders of it's
bonds.
"Second-Louisiana alleges that there
were irregularities of some kind or
another in connection with the issue
of most of her ~repudiated bonds. 1t
would, of course, put an end to all
credit il a state, on discovery that its
own officials had acted incorrectly in
the course of the issue of a loan, re-
pudiated all responsibility for the
money obtained from the public.
There is, however one issue, or part
Of an issue, known as Baby" bonds,
concerning which not even the fore
going excuse a be pleaded. In this
case, in spite of the fact that the bonds
are expressed on their face to be is
sued by the. state Of Louisiana in ac-
cordance with the states constitution,
and although. they are specially secur-
ed, ON arrears of taxes colIectible by
the state, which, it is admitted, were

is denied on the astonishing plea. that
the bonds were not guaranteed by the
state.
