sound sleep to find her child who has
gone to beg apparently in the best of
health struggling for breath, she is
naturally alarmed. Yet If she can keep
her presence of mind and give Cham

quick relief will follow and the child
will drop to sleep to awaken in the

HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTOR.

The last legislature passed a law
providing for a high school inspector
at a salary of $4,000 a year.-another
office and another salary. Maybe a
high school inspector is needed hut
if il is it would be interesting 20 know
some of the results of his labors. In
all probability his service amounts to
about as much as did the Old-time dis
trict school Inspector who made the
rounds once a year, and, in a neatly
prepared Grafton, assured the pupils
of each school that they were the best
behaved and highly intelligent aggIe-
cation that he had seen anywhere in
his travels. And then as soon as he
had left the pupils resumed their Gus
tomary throwing OF paper-wads and
making faces at the back Of the school
ma'am. II seems. however, as though
a man might be found u tour the state
and speak pieces 10 the high school
pupils for less than $4,000 a year.

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. l.
A letter has just been received here
from a French woman whose home
is in scissors, long one of the holly
contested points on the French bat
tleheld. She describes to her Scotch
friend the misery of the inhabitants
of the city. The Germans, it seems,
were driven out, but not beyond the
range Of thS.r big guns. The
French woman did not desert her
home. She says:
I'VE have to remain in our house,
for we really could not bring our
selves to leave it, and all our posses
sions, although most of the inhabi-
tants have left the town.
For three months the lombard
ment of the town has continued,
sometimes for days and nights with
out ceasing, and then we hide in the
cellar-you may guess how happy we
are. We simply live in dread of the
shrapnel which is going to fall on our
house and set it on fire and bury us
in the ruins.
You have no idea what terrible
engines of war the Germans have.
Seeing everything around us burn and
fall to pieces, we live in a sort of
nightmare. The house of Dubois
(next to u.s. is in ruins, and st. Jean
des Vignes is practically a heap of
stones-indeed, everything in our
quarter is demolished. You will be
heartbroken to see it when you next
come. Fortunately our b>Jse has so
far escaped, though all the tiles are
smashed and the windows broken by
the force of the detonations. 1t is not
worth replacing them, but you may
imagine how comfortable we are in
this cold weather. and the terrible
thing is that no one can say how
long il will last.
Germans Take QuarrieS.
ION their way back from the
Marine the Germans took possession
of all the quarries along the hills to
the north, which they had carefully
prepared on their way south with
concrete and iron, making of them
veritable forts. They are terribly
clever, and now they are Smelling
scissors from the quarries Of Paisley,
Clancy and Crouy. from which they
can also dominate all the main roads
from the town. There is absolutely
no chance Of taking them by sur
prise. because from there they see
everything that happens. They have
got the light railway to Coucy, which
enables them TO revictual from the
rear. From Coucy and Chauny they
have the main lines right to Germany.

DOING ONE THING WE'LL

Edison's life motto has been: This
one thing / know-electricity."
Confning himself to that one thing
he has taken out a thousand success

knowing a little Of everything. or try

accomplished Httle.
Bcecher, the greatest preacher OF
his century, had this motto: This
one thing I do" His mighty achieN e.
ment was possible only by turning all
his energies and interests into one
channel

been held universally to typify the
extreme OF fragibility. There is bound
TO be loss. But at the same time this
ratio OF waste seems out OF all pro-
portion 10 necessity.
The parcel post, with its excellent
facilities for immediate and safe trans
fer from the producer to the eonsum-
er, would seem to offer a solution Of
the puzzle, at least to a large degree
But, once again, the lack of fore
sight and care Of the people Of this
country in buying their provisions,
operates against the working of this
plan.
The average American would rather
order his egg every morning from a
downtown store by telephone, though
it may have been in storage for
months, than to have a fixed arrange
ment to get it every day fresh from
a farm.

They have driven away all in

they remained for two full days. We

and which should not be allowed.
Why lombard open, unfortified towns
