Sensitive Soul,

A minister must be very careful in
choosing his words if he is to give
no olfense to any of his flock. In
certain congregation there was a
dear old lady who loved flowers and
who had a beautiful garden, Each
Sunday it was her bouquet that
adorned the pulpit. She was espe-
cially fond of sweet peas, and she once
brought them for several Sundays in
succession. Suddenly other flowers ap-
peared. The minister noticed the
change, and after the service asked
the old lady why she brought no more
sweet peas. She smiled sadly and
answered: you don't like them.
Last Sunday you pointed right at my
sweet peas and said: God loves even
the meanest flower that blows. =

FRANCE MAY GIVE UP COLONY
st. Pierre and MqueIon Islands Con.
stitute the Last OF Her Ameri-
can Empire.

The possibility that the Miquelon
archipelago, the last North American
possession of France, may be annexed
to Newfoundland at the close of the
European war is receiving serious con.
sideration in that colony.
The little islands of ST. Pierre, MID
uelon and Langlade, short distance
off the south coast of Newfoundland,
have formed Ter two centuries the ad-
vance base for the French cod fishery
on the Grand Rapids.
In recent years the prosperity of
the tiny colony has steadily dimin.
ished and all possibility of industrial
progress for some time to come was
destroyed when the French govern
ment in February last summoned all
the able bodied men in the island to
the colors.
The town of st. Pierre, where most
of the colonists live, is now inhabited
only by aged men, women and chill
dren. 1t is considered probable that
such of the conscripts as survive the
war will be reluctant to return to a
struggling existence in the colony and
will seek wider opportunity in France.
Since bait fishing by the French has
been largely supplanted by steam
trawlers the usefulness of the fish
cries outpost has become slight. 1t is
the opinion of many Newfoundland
ers, therefore, that France will find it
to her advantage to turn the islands
over to Newfoundland. in return for
fishing facilities in ln5sS r.a.s-z,

How TO Tell a Liar.

The eminent cross-examiners Of the
country have their favorite method of
knowing when a witness is telling the
truth or lying. Wives desiring to
know just how to sense the truth of
husbands story of "the night before
would do well to read these hints One
lawyer says he can tell when wit
ness is lying by the movement of the
lips. Another declares the hands form
the best barometer and another de-
clares the twitching of the muscles of
the cheeks is a sure sign that the wit
ness has been trapped in lie. Still
another disciple of blackstone says
that facial expression always helps
him. as well as watching the feet,
which are usually shifted uneasily
when the lie Is apparent. Then an
other declares that by keeping con-
st.nt vigilance on the eyes of the wit
ness he knows when he has his man
going" If taken as complete for
mula, It would mean that periurer
to escape detection would have to
school his face to be impressive, keep
his hands in his pockets, hook his feet
in the rounds of the witness chair
and shut his eyes.
