Path CT TIE kakSno.

Several birds make regular paths to
and from their resorts. Those of the
Antarctic penguins are noted by all
explorers in their region. Very no.
tiCeable are those in the haunts of the
kakapo, the large, rock-dwelling, bur
rownesting owl-like parrot Of the
mountains of New Zealand. They
beat down regular paths along the
spurs and ridges where they abound,
SO that person might be excused for
supposing they were meant for human
feet. 1t is along these avenues that
the birds go to and fro on their noe

they snip off and perhaps eat every
protruding spear of grass or weed.
keeping the path perfectly clean.
When the path is buried in snow they
still follow it on the surface and soon
beat down a track.

CLUBS NOT EXEMPT FROM USE OF WAR.
 REVENUE STAMPS
Sales of Liquors and Cigars in Private Clubs Place Them
 Within Law

Question has arisen in clubs and other societies selling tobacco or wines as to the necessity of securing certifi-. cates or stamping their bottles. This question was yesterday definitely set tied at the local office of the bureau of internal revenue, where it was an nounced that irresp ective of whether dealer or a club sold cigars, the certificate must be used. This ap- plies to athletic clubs where cigars of more than $200 in value are sold in the course of a year. It was pointed out that it required sales of but little under 50 cents per day to meet the re- qIirements of the law and the smaller clubs are notified to make their deeIa- rations or meet the severe penalty inn posed.
 In the sale of wines, and cordials, it was shown under section of the Emergency War revenue act that all still wines, domestic or imported, when sold or offered for sale or consump- ton shall be stamped as follows: LA pint or less IA cent; 1-2 pint or less, 1-2 cent; pint or less, cent: 1 quart or less, 2 cents; all wines in other con- tafners at the rate of 8 cents per gal Ion.
 On champagnes or sparkling wines, or artifciaIly coIored wines: 1-2 pint or less, cents; pint or less, 1 o cents; I quart or less, 20. cents; and in all other containers, at 20 cents per quart.
 onEa11 cordials or similar com pounds, domestic or imported, by whatever name they may be sold there shall be stamps affixed as fol- lows: not more than 1-2 pint, 1 1-2 cents; not more than 1 pint, 3 cents; not more than 1 quart, cents and on larger containers at the rate of A cents per gallon.
 The act further specincalIy puts it directly up to the person dispensing the wine, cordial or liquor to afhx the stamp and not to the dealer selling it to broker, druggist or retail dealer It may be stated that great care must be used in determining which liz quors come under the cordial or H- quor class, and that decanters from which wine is. poured into glasses at bars are the receptacles to be stamp ed and when empty must have the stamp destroyed, and another pasted on when rehlled This does not apply to whiskey or beer bottles.

FREEDOM OF
 PRESS AND PULPIT

A few days ago the Outlook mag azine published an article entitled Freedom of the Press vs Freedom of the Pulpit The writer of the same, a clergyman. told how when he was a newspaper reporter, a. great been printed. were suppressed for the reason that they injured the interests of some advertiser. When he ep- tered the ministerial profession he was able to denounce prevailing evils unhampered.
 This newspaper is not so sure that clergyman always get a free hand. but it is of no use for one profession to cast s1urs at another. It is 9 fact that there is too little free speech all around, that most people are too sen sitfve to criticism.
 It is one Of the healthfl1 things about the newspaper profession that editors get used to the rough and
 tum ble of life. If a. brother tourna.- list hits you a. resounding editorial Whack, you return it in kind if you feel like it. After a, little you meet, you recognize that newspaper contro- versy Is rather PickwIckian, and are good friends again. Politicians abuse l each other with stinging eloquence. then go out to lunch together.
 The ordinary man rarely acquires this tmpreviousness. If the parson
 utters some criticism about the evils of society, the parishioner is far too 1 apt to say that the minister is an ag- 1 itator and disturber, and should con- l fine himself to preaching about Jere- 1 Iniah and the Nicen creed. If the
 newspaper, in all good faith. and as a public service, criticises a, public of ffcer, the latter flies into passion. stops his paper ana threatens legal if not fistic action.

This newspaper, there fore subscrfbes heartily to the claim I of the Outlook writer that there should be greater freedom of the press and it hopes equally that church con 1 gregations will allow to their pastors | a similar measure of. liberty.

WORCESTER HAS
 $lOO, 900 BLAZE

Worcester Dec. 72.-FIre that start ed early today in the Hamilton, a business block at 88 to 94 Mechanic street. owned by A. A. Wheeler and T. c. Dapher, did damage estimated at $75,Ooo to $1O0, ,000.
 The building was a brick structure three stories high adjoining an area jus south of the fire department head quarters and when the fremen reach ed the structure it was a mass of flames which gutted the building from cellar to roof.
 The sRawson Cigar company. Boss Drygoods company. Levensohn & Cheifets, skirt manufacturers; Wheel CT & Ghosvenor, and J. A. Jacques, dealer in church supplies are the heaviest losers as their businesses were practically wiped out by the flames and the water that was turned in by the fire companies called bytwo alarms. The building adjoined a frame dwelling house whose occupants were driven out by the smoke but the dwell ling was damaged.

BoTREL THE SINGER

'erhey must have heard Botreli So the French generals say when they hear of some peculiarly brilliant, dar- ing and devoted feat of arms perform
 ed by French troops. and. especially,
 Brton troops. Botre1 is Theodore Botre1, the Breton poet, long recog- nized as one of the sweetest singers of that quaint and picturesque peo- p1e. When the French buckled on their armor the Breton bard imme- diateIy offered his services, although he is no longer young. M. Millerand refused to accept him as a fighter, but he had the happy inspiration that Botrel might be of greater value as Q singer of songs of inspiration, and hs was sent to the front in that capacity.
 of struggling men, reciting patriotic and fervent chanSons designed to in spire the soldiers to mighty deeds of valoS. He often writes new verses,
 using the head Of a drum as a desk, just as Rouget de Lille, the French artillery officer, wrote the MarseiI- laise Hymn in 1792, to cheer and eI- courage the conscripts of Strasburg. The author of the French national anthem received a liberal pension from the government, and it is likely that if the Breton barn survices the war he will fare at least as well, for his efforts have had profound results in melting the French soldiers to a frenzy of patriotism and devotion to "Is, patrie." Botrel, clad in the pie turesque Breton costume of flowing trousers, gay waistcoat and broad brimmed hat with flowing coIored rib bonss goes from camp to camp. recit- ing his va1or-inspiring and stirring ballads. At night, in halls, tents or in the open, he gives his recfta1s, and his auditors alternately cheer and weep. s3The Soldiers Letter to His Granddaughter is the favorite poem of the soldiers, and is always demanded.
