TEACH FRENCH TO TONNES

Experiments made at the training
camp at Petersfield in teaching Brit
1sh soldiers sufficient French to make
themselves understood in daily life
at the front have been markedly sue
cessful. The method, which was
worked out by a resident of the neigh
borhood, is being taught by volun-

The men are taught first the names;

SO on. Then verses taking in these
words are made up to some catchy.
French tune-"Sur lie pont d'Avignon",
is being much used in this connection
and the soldiers thus fix the words
in their memories.
The next step is the staging of va
rlous scenes in which the soldier may
ind himself. He is stopped by a.
French" sentry and has to reply to-
the usual challenges in French. He
is rescued by a Trench" Red Cross
nurse and explains the nature Of his
imaginary wounds. It has been found
that most of the men complete this
brief course satisfactorily within a
month. .

There ismore Catarrah in this section

There is more Catarrah in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nouncedi it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrah to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrah
Cure. manufactured by F. J. Cheney q
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutionai cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the

LAID DOWN POINT OF LAW
Mississippi Judgment Is That Plaintiff
Must Come into Court With
Clean Hands.

In a suit for damages against a tele.
graph company heard by the supreme
court of Mississippi in Western Union
Telegraph VS.. McLudin it, appeared
that plaintiff had received two tele-
grams from a woman known to be an
improper person. The company's mes
senger informed various persons that
the plaintiff had received these mes
sages from the woman in question:,
thus ~betraying his intimacy with the
sender, and, as he charged in his com
plant, caused him to lose caste with
respectable women and forced him to
resign his position where he then lived
and take another less lucrative else.
where. In holding that there. could be-
no recovery against the company the
court said: .
IF a plaintiff cannot open his case
without showing that he has broken
the law a court will not aid him. It
has been said that the objection may
often sound very i'll in the mouth aof
the defendant, but it is not for his
sake the objection is allowed; it is
founded on general principles of pol
icy which he shall have the advan-
tage of, contrary to the real justice
between the parties. The principle
of public policy is that no court will
lend it's aid to a party who grounds
his action upon an immoral or illegal
act"

A Horses Medal.

A Russian artillery horse won a
bronze medal at Plevna. Orders were
given for some ammunition wagons to
be hurried to a spot that meant ross
ing the enemy's zone of fire. All the
time shells were crashing among the
horses, bringing them down in heaps
and frightening such as escaped.
Times without number did the Rus
sian drivers, sparing neither whip nor
spur, attempt to urge the horses for
ward, but they stood cowed and shiv-
ering with fright. Some were blind
folded; but the effect was the same,
and only inc horse showed any willing
ness to go.
Thereupon the driver jumped down
and, cutting the traces of the other
horses, drove the willing one at full
gallop through the fire. The wagon
passed through without exploding, and
after the war the horse was decorated
in the n described and the
driver promoted.

Lord Fisher Believes in Speed.

Although Lord Fisher is four years
older than the regulation age at
which a naval officer may normally
nope to be employed, his methods at
the admiralty give little indication of
~ of years. A short time
ago he bounced upon a department
at whitehall with the intimation that
a certain number of new vessels were
required. The number, it may be
mentioned, was about six or seven
tmes as many as it is customary to
order IN any n year. The whole
OF the contracts for these vessels were
paced in three days, and when the
nrst sea lord went to inquire what
had happened, and vas told. he spared
nothlng in his e%xecration of what
ne called the waste of time. In the
ordinary way, three. months is quite
an average time for considering such
a tender.-London Globe.

"No Quarter Given.n

1t is forbidden to declare that no
quarter shall be given" So says The
hague regulations. That is a more
modern rule than you would think. The
duke of Wellington said that he un-:
derstood that the defenders of a
fortress taken by storm had no right
to quarter, although he, himself, did
not as a rule adopt such a cruel prac-
t1ce. A century ago when \ feeble
garrison stubbornly held out in a
feebly fortified place against a force
manifestly superior and apparently
able to take 1t eventually, it was u.s.
ually refused quarter. There was an
attempt to justify the refusal by a
doctrine of futile resistance"-that
he who u~selessly resisted and caused
assaulting OF besieging forces unnec-
essary loss Of life did not deserve to
have his own life spared. But that
doctrine has been rejected. Carried
to Its logical conclusion it would
mean that every member Of a weaker
force in any kind of armed contest
could be killed.-William NJ. Collier
