LUSITANtA VICTIMS BURIED
 IN QUEENSTOWN CEMETERY.

QUEENSTOWN. May 12.-Ninety two passengers of the Lusitania were buried this afternoon with services with no parallel in history. Under a sky which had not a single cloud. to strains of hymns played by British soldiers they laid to rest two miles behind Queenstown in a cemetery bursting with spring greenery, tucked between hills flaming with gorse. Queenstown never sensed the full hor- rcr of the Lusitania disaster until to. day. But when the funeral started the realization came that each cheap coffin held a body and that in the AL !antic less than twenty miles away. there were over a thousand more. all victims of the German submarine.
 The townspeople stood hatless nearly all the forenoon as coffins were conveyed to the cemetery on carts. This procession required hours and not until midafternoon was the final procession started

WOUNDS AFFECT SIGHT

PARIS. May 12.-Dr. Sendral. who has made a study of fire-arm wounds as effecting the sight. declares that the former proportion of l2 to IS per cent of wounds in the head has been increased in the present war. He at tributes it in part to the war of trench es and in part to the increased enec- uveness Of shell fire Fifty per cent of wounds affecting the sight are caused by shell fragments, forty per cent by rifle bullets eight per cent by shrapnel bullets and two per cent var ioue,
 The destruction Of sight is in the greater number of cases the indirect result of wounds. There are a great many cases of what Dr. sendral calls hysterical blindness. Men are fre- quently struck blind as we'll as deaf and dumb. by shock

 We cannot tell what founts of strength may be drawn on to bring recuperation to the world as we now know it. But We do know that from whatever source the strength for re- cuperation comes the real strength will lie in the simply-planned. the vir. tuous home. in the integrity of family life; in the buoyancy of disposition which finds its own opportunities for play; in the ability to stand up to the drudgery of the days job; in the read mess to see the other fellows point of view; in ties of comradeship. in acts of worship, in knowing God.

Aluminium in War.

Austria and Germany use more
aluminium for war purposes than all
the other warning nations combined.
1t has been known, in fact. that Ger
many has for some years been collect
ing and storing the metal for war
uses.
The great majority of the drinking
mugs, cans and cups of the German
soldier are made of the light metal.
The frames for Zeppelins and the
fuses for shells are made from alu-
minum.
One of the difficulties the Ger
mans have had to face is the short
age of copper necessary for the rings
around shells. Many of the German
shells are now provided with alumni
UNI rings.
Although aluminium does make a
substitute, even in cartridges as we'll
as shells and fuses. it is not so good
as copper. The French authorities ex-
perimented with it some years ago for
artillery purposes, but rejected it.
The Germans are using it in such
large quantities because they're forced
to do so on account of the shortage
of copper.

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS

Christmas, originally Cristes masse ("the mass
or church festival of ChristD, is the English
name for the season in which the birth of Christ
is commemorated. 1t is apparent, however, that
a festival was celebrated at this season long be-
fore it was held sacred the birthday of Jesus
of Nazareth The Saturnalia of the Romans and
the winter festival of the heather Britons
both celebrated about December 25; and later,
the Roman festival in honor of the sun god,
Mithra INSTITUTED 273 A. d. From the latter the
day became to be known the Birthday of the
Unconquered Sum- and after its adoption by the
Christian church in the fourth century the

given a symbolic Interpretation.

period also reveals a heather, if not invariably

BRIDGE is A WONDER
QUEBEC STRUCTURE SURPRISES
ANY EVER ERECTED.
only the Famous Firth of Forth
Bridge in Scotland, Constructed in
the Same Manner, Approaches
1t in Magnitude.

In it's general dimensions as well as
in the enormous size and weight of the
structural members composing it, the
Quebec bridge, now in an advanced
stage of construction, surpasses any
other structure of the kind ever erect
ed, says Popular Mechanics. The one
bridge structure in the world that ap-
proaches it in magnitude is the IA
nous Firth of Forth bridge in Scot
land, the main channel span of which
is nearly one hundred feet shorter
than that of the Quebec bridge. Both
structures are of the cantilever type.
The channel span of the Quebec
bridge, measured between centers of
towers, is 1900 feet. The design and
fabrication of the steel for the struc-
ture therefore presented engineering
problems for which no precedents ex-
listed, ard the first attempt to build
the bridge made by private company,
resulted in a collapse of the structure
in which many lives were lost. Fol
lowing that catastrophe, the Dominion
government took over the work, and
a year later undertook the construc-
tion of the bridge. The present bridge
is on the same site as the original
structure, but owing to an increase Of
twenty-one feet in the width between
trusses and to a considerable Increase
in the weight of the superstructure,
new piers were necessary, and these
hui fn1x
adjacent to, the original piers. The
two main piers alone contain approx
mately $4,000 cubic yards Of masonry
and cost in the neighborhood of ST.
100000 One of these piers goes to
a depth of sixty feet below the bed OF
the river, and the other to a depth or
eighty feet.
In the erection of the bridge the an
Choir arms, which lie between the main
piers and the shore, were constructed
on steel falsework, while the canti-
lever arms are being built out over the
river without falsework by the can't
lever method. The 640-foot suspended
truss to connect the cartilever arms
will be built on shore, f1oated into po-
sition on pontoOns, and then raised by
powerful jacks and connected with the
cantilevers. For the erection of the
heavy bridge members two travelling
cranes, one working on each side of
the river, are used. Each traveller
weighs about one thousand tons, and
is equipped with two hosting ma
chimes each capable of lifting one hun
dred tons. The principal feature Of
the travellers is a tower that stands
200 feet above the floor Of the bridge.
Supported on top Of the tower are
cranes through which the lifting lines
are worked All the machinery on
the travellers is electrically operated.
To avoid bringing uneven stresses on
the partly completed structure, SINH
lar members on the two sides of the
bridge are lifted by the cranes and
erected simultaneously. The total
length of the bridge between abut-
ments is 1929 feet AS now planned.
it should be possible for trains to cross
the bridge by the end OF the year 1916.

Foreiun Children Are Healthier.

The death rate among children born
in New York city of native American
parents is higher than among children
of foreign parents, according to re-
port by DR.. William H. Guilfoy, regis
trar of the health department. Chill
dren of native white parents, the re-
port says, die at the rate Of "A males
and 35 females out of every 1000 be-
fore attaining the age of five years.
The death rate for native parents,
both white and negro, is Is males and
65 females. Children of foreign-bOrn
parents show a mortality during the
five years of 80 males and 80 females.
The lowest mortality rate is given by
the records to Russian-born mothers.
The birth rate among foreign-born
mothers is almost three times greater
than among native mothers.-New
York Times.

ChaSe's Valuation.

William M. Chase figured amusingly
in transaction concerning himself
and an unartistic congressman who
owns bad painting
Isn't that grand?" the latter re-
marked when pointing out his pur-
chase. "A great bargain, too. Got it
for four hundred dollars, and William
M. Chase says it is worth ten thousand
dollars"
A friend of the painter heard this
statement and took it to Chase. who
smilingly explained:
He cornered me one day and want
ed me to fix a value on it, but | told
him couldn't do it. He then came at
me with question | couldn't dodge:
We'll. Mr.. Chase, how much would
you charge to paint a picture like
that?'
Il assured him most earnestly that
| wouldn't paint one like it for ten
thousand dollars"

Overheard at the "Movies. +"

Children, and little girls, especially.
can ask many questions and in some
instances, unanswerable questions. as
was demonstrated in a photoplay thea
ter the other evening.
Mamma, what does that saw"
asked the little girl four years old,
who referred to paragraph of French
thrown on ths screen.
The mother did not answer fmmedi-
ately, but the query was so loud that
persons all around the little girl and
her mother heard it. There were many
smiles and laughs as they realized the
inability of the mother to answer the
childs question.
However, the mother was able to
make good" because an English YER
sion of the paragraph was shown i'm
mediately afterward.

these aforesaid men have escorted
stand back, out of the throng, which
is pushing and scrambling to secure
the best attention at the box office
window.
The ticket seller, nine times out of
ten, gives the lone young woman the
poorest seat he has to dispose Of.
There is but one drawback to her en-
joyment of the entertainment - the
worry over the lateness of the hour
when it will be over, and if she is to
reach home in safety She must walk
four lonely blocks after she leaves the
street car. The people in the audi
ence, she believes, seem to single her
out and comment upon her isolation.
After a few such contretemps, the
bachelor girl feels that the joy she
has derived from the entertainment
has not been commensurate with her
worry.
It's a mistake to think the girl in
the department store is worrying and
thinking whether she will reach the
height of the business ladder. More
likely she is worrying over how she
may meet the right kind of a man to
marry. There are girls who worry as
to whether she will be able to hold
fast to the beau who will cross her
path. She worries over whether this
imaginary mans folk will like her;
how she can get the best of her moth
er-in-law, should she attempt to step
between her husband and herself;
last, but by no means least, how she
is to bring up her children. No mat
ter how long or how many are the
years that slip by, she has these
dreams and worries over them in Sc
cret.
Many such dreamers are not des-
tined to become wives, have mothers
in-law to contend with or children to
coax or scold. The wise girl, healthy
of mind, lives in the present, and lets
the future with it's worries take care
of itself. During business hours she
attends strictly to her calling. Aft
er it is over, she gives herself up to
enjoying the relaxation of pleasure.
She does not worry about a man, hav-
ing faith to believe if the good Lord
has one in store for her he will send
him along. She won't have to exert
herself to wed him. Whatever one
worries over pertaining to her future,
seldom or never comes to pass.

Their many meetings have brought
dangerous, merry, thoughtless hours
to be passed. If men and women were
able to consider the consequences OF
gradual folly this world would be diff
ferent. The tickle fancy of man
cannot justify woman for taking the
day of reckoning into her own hands.
Her smiles are the most bitter OF as
sumed ones. They are more danger
Gus than strife, under the circum-
stance of the wrong he would perpe-
trate. Oh, if either would stop to
think of how his innocent wife and
children would suffer! Pity is wasted
upon the coquette, who knowingly
smiles upon the man she would abhor.
Her smile is more dangerous as she
sees the pitfall-than the tragedy
from strife that surely will ensue.

At last the company came the mistress pre-

anxiety lest something be burned spilled at the
last moment.
Friends. will thee join us in the Christmas
feast?" And with great dignity he leads them,
with the guest of honor his arm followed by
the older people and the children.
The Table Decorated.
The table is picture to cheer the hungry.
The large turkey is at end and the pig at
the other end of the long table, with everything
they are to eat between excepting the plum
pudding.
After the silent grace, which stills the noise
for moment the carver takes his knife and
with deliberation born of steady nerves carves
under the fire of twenty pairs of eyes
The directions in "Gentlewomans House
wffery" says: Raise the leg fairly Of the tur-
key and open the joint with the point of the
knife, but do not take off the leg.
Then lace down both sides Of the breat bone
and open the breast pnon, but do not take it
off. Then raise the Merry Thought between the
breast bone and the top of it," and so on till
the turkey is boned. While this is being done
the christmas bowl is passed.
After they are helped to turkey and pig they
pass the vegetables and delicacies. and even the
mince pie is eaten when they have the desire
for it.
The Correct Manners.
The proper conventions are strictly adhered
to- The book of etiquette says: "A gentlewom-
an must not lean her elbows on the table, nor by
a ravenous gesture discover voracious appe
tite nor talk with her mouth full, nor smack her
lips like a pig"
The children were kept in order. In all the
feast was decorous but merry for all that
At last, when they have eaten to the extent of
their capacity, the plum pudding, blazing and
with piece of holly stuck in the top, is brought
in and eaten with brandy sauce. Then the toasts
are drunk with the good home-brewed wine, and
the feast is done.
