Turkeys Glorious Past.
H. c. Dwight, in the Century.

Ii. G. Dwight, in the Century
 Strange as it is to recall today. when their name is a symbol for dis order and reaction, the fact is that at the period of their conquests the Turks commanded the most efficient and most progressive army in the world. Such body of soldiers as during the first century of it's exis- tence was the famous corps of the janizaries has rarely ever been known. Separated as young boys from their families and never allowed to form families of their own, picked for their regiments only after long and pitt less wedding out of the less strong and the less adept, subjected to a dis cipline which at the time had no par allel and is hardly matched today, they grew up, they lived and they died as soldiers. They were, if I am not mistaken, the first regularly uniform ed. drilled and paid army in Europe. Nor were the janizaries the one proof of that their masters were open to new ideas. The siege of Constantino- ple m 1915 will perhaps be notable h. history for its novel features it's aeroplanes, it's submarines, it mon strous floating cannon. But the seize of 1453 marked no less memoraply {; i,, T,, 4hot

VARIOUS MEASURES OF STONE

Owing to the variety of uses to which stone is put, there is no regular unit of measurement employed by the ouarrymen, the stone being sold by the cubic yard, cubic foot, ton, cord, perch, rod, square foot, square yard, square, etc. Building and monumen-
 tai stone, especially the dressed pro-
 duct, is usually sold by the cubic foot
 or the cubic yard, although this unit varies with the class of stone and with
 the locality; large quantity of rough
 stone is sold by the perch, cord, or ton
 Bubble and riprap, including stone for
 such heavy masonry as breakwater
 and jetty work, are generally sold by the cord or ton. Fluxing stone and stone for chemical use-as for alkali
 works, sugar factories, carbonic-acld plants, and paper mills-are sold by
 the long ton. Flagstone and curb
 stone are sold by the square yard of
 the square foot, the thickness being variable and dependent on the orders
 received. Granite paving blocks are
 sold invariably by number, but the
 blocks are not of uniform size, the
 value depending on the size of the block and the labor necessary to cut into the shape desired. Other paw | ing material is sold by various units such as ton or cubic yard. Crushed
 stone is usually sold by the cubic yard
 or ton, the short ton being more gen. erally used. The weight of cubic yard of crushed stone varies from 2.3OO to 5000 pounds, the average weight being about 2,500 pounds. In certain localities crushed stone is sold
 by the square" of 100 square feet by 1 foot, or 100 cubic feet. Crushed
 stone is also sold by the bushel, 21H
 bushels representing cubic yard of about 2,7O0 pounds.

How the World Conspires Against
 Youth.

In the June American Maoazino David Grayson, writing his story "Hempfield,' comments in part as fol lows on the conspiracy of the world against youth and growth
 "The world of course, is in a secret conspiracy against youth and growth. Any man who dares to be young. or to grow, or to be original, must expect to have the world set upon him and pound him unmercifully-and if that doesn't finish him off, then the world clings desperately to his coat tails resolved that If it cannot stop him en- tlrely 1t will at least go along with him and make travelling as difficult as possible. This latter process is what friend of mine illuminativelv calls the drag of mediocrity.'
 But this punching and pounding is mostly good for youth and originality good if it doesn't kill--for it proves the strength of youth, tests faith and enthusiasm, and measures surely the power of originality. And as for the provoking drag upon their coat tails. youth and originality should reflect that this is the only way by which mediocrity ever gets aheadl"

THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER

roars ago. it was found that
 ~. ., could be transplanted in mice.
 r4is ,ai' discovery revolutionized the
 I '.dv of cancer. Great expectations
 s'a,s ,~r' aroused and it was believed it
 r,, only question of time until the
 'a uor, of the cause and cure of ma S,rart disease would be solved That rss s decade ago and some authori- tes believe that we are no nearer the facts today than we were then. In .h. case of cancer, any expectation of ,iDgle discovery solving the prob I,m is more and more coming to be
 .,,ocnized as unwarranted. Cancer
 is not a single definite disease like
 .nnondicitis. It is rather name
 which has been given to a group of
 entirely distinct diseases, which are
 different in their history, origin, mode
 of treatment and prospect of cure, although they are all forms of new and lawless cell growth. For this req son we are not likely to see any sud don and sensational advance toward the knowledge of a single cause and cre of cancer. It seems now more likely that a steady reduction in the mortality from cancer will come about through the operation of many differ ent factors. Of chief importance will be the application in many directions of a better knowledge of the condi- tiOns under which cancer arises, that is to say, better knowledge of the immediate rather than the remote causes of the disease. Chief among these is irritation. In the removal of all sources of chronic irritation and in prompt attention to conditions which are now recognized as likely to result in cancer is to be found the only available means of actually prevent ing this disease. On the other hand, even when the development of cancer itself is not prevented, it is capable of complete removal from the body re- sultmg in cure of the patient in a lar larger number of cases than at present. To bring this about and t, reduce the death rate from malignant assesses Is the object of the present VlOespread campaign of education in regard to early symptoms and the need @ prompt recognition and surgical treatment.

noon he fancied that something re-

for an instant swan athwart the field

to move like weary horse with a
human figure bound to it's back.
But now the phenomena were dis
cernible which, had he been more des-
ert wise, would have made him pause
and think before he yentured farther
from those hills, already beyond
reach as they were.
His first appreciated warning came
when the surface OF the desert seemed
to lift and shake like the top of a
canvas tent in a gale. At the same
time a mighty gust Of wind swept
athwart the waste, hot as a furnace
blast. In trice dust enveloped man
and horse, a sitting cloud Of super
heated particles that stung the flesh
like a myriad needles. And then dark
ness fell, the twilight of hades, a cop

How the Humbuq First Buzzed.

1t is not generally known that the
word "humbug," long so much ir
vogue, is of Scottish origin. There was
in olden time a family called Bogue
or Boag, of that ilk In Berwickshire A
daughter of the family married sor
of Hume of Hume. In process of time
by default Of male issue, the Bogue
estate devolved on one Gordie Hume
who was called popularity Hume o
the Bogue, or, rather Hum O. the
Bug"
He was inclined to the marvellous
and had vast inclination to exalt
himself, his wife, family, brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. His
tales, however, did not pass current
and at last when anyone made an ex
traordinary statement in the Nearns
the bearer would shrug up his shout
ders, and style it just "a hum O. the
bug" This was shortened into hum
bug and the word soon spread over
the whole kingdom.
