The Pineapple in England.


 Pineapples, which Londoners can now buy at the cheapest rate within living memory, first reached England in the latter part of the seventeenth century. The fruit was thus a novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation; but he soon recognized its value as an architectural ornament. and copper pineapples about five feet high figure prominently on the towers of St. Pauls. So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur face of this fruit that his original de- sign for St. Pauls shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome. Happily his maturer thoughts saved us from that appalling spectacle. Since Wren the pineapple has been as much at home in our architecture as on our dinner tables. It has descended even to cast iron, and is frequently found in old-fashioned streets. Queen Victoria treasured a seal given by her husband on which pineapple was engraved. together with the motto.

---------UVU------- WHAT SWITZERLAND TEACHES

tSW Witzerland is surrounded on all sides by war. North and east are Germany and Austria. South is Italy and west Is France.
 Switzerland, since the war. has been importing through the port of Genoa. Tourists have gone out Of Italy and the cnly strangers arc refugees from Germany, France and Italy. It is not likely that either Ger many or Italy will dare violate Swiss terl4tory. TO invade the country would require half a million men.
 Switzerland is small republic, yet from this remarkably welt govern2d country the United States might learn two things, says the Memphis Comm erc.al Appeal. Switzerland has no standing army, but the republic can* put 'lraH a7mli- lion men under arms. Preliminary instruction in military affairs is given in the schools.
 Then thsre is a 6O-day infantry and 90-day cavalry and miftaty service. Then the able-bodied clti- zen trains II days every year until he is 35, when he passes into the re- serve.
 The only men in permanent ser vice are a group of officers.
 When the war broke out Swltztf- lard put more than 15O,O0O well trained men on the German frontier and opposite France.
 Mad there been an invasion half q million men. could have been brought up in a few days.
 If the United States had system of this sort We would be nation prepared for any struggle.
 Again, in Switzerland there are pure Teutons, pure French and pure Italians, In tke republic there are thras languages. The various races are for Switzerland against the world The German element is not ouarreling with the Fren ench ana piether do French make trouble 1oi tho others.

THE PROFIT OF WAR.

Senator Robert M Ls'F'ollctte of Wisconsin has taken note of the cry for increas [ armame nts and is will ing to conccd de that something of the kind is necessary. Vt seems that the pacifists are getting fewer every day; that is, the kind who would dis arm altogether)
 Here is what Mr. LaF'olletto says about it:
 "In so far as tlEs work of building battleships is to go on, l should like to see it done by the government. l believe we would have better work, and l believe we would eliminate q strcng, powerful influence that makes for international disturbances. I refer 10 the worldwide organiza- ton that is stin ulating the fomcnt- ing of disCOrd in order that it may make Yrofit Cut of the furnishing of munitions of war of every sort and kind tn SO far as this govc rnment is to make pr paration against tine dire evil of war, l want to sec it done solely under government sup ervision and at gov rnment ex- pcnsc.'
 The fore going are sound words. But they do not go far enough. All kinds of arms and ammunition should be manufactured by the gov ernment alona. This industry is too dangerous to be left in the hands of persons who sec profits in wars and are powerful enough to influenca their making.
 It is an industry that is more cs- sential to the welfare of all peoples 10 be in the hands of all govern ments than are the postal depart ments of nations. For if private enterprise carried letters it would ltet be source of potential blocd- ,shed to, nations; but with the gun making industries in the hands of conscienceless persons the world ,ovcr, it is no wonder there are wars and .rumors of wars without end. !. Take the profit cut of war and half the battles for world peace will have been won.

twenty pages of Royston's bill of com plaint are filled with recitals of her alleged cruelty. Nothing he did ever pleased her, declares Royston.
 Once, says Royston, he thought he had pleased her and was much elated. When they were married he employed a cook and maid. There came a day when Mrs. Royston, he ayers, asked that they be discharged, saying that she would do the work and that he should give the money to her. He dis charged them.
 After that! Royston says that during the three years they have been married she cooked only 230 meals, and that therefore he is S65 meals short.

rINE BLUFF O ROGRESS
 ROSPE!RITY
THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE

With colleges and schools the country over holding closing exer- 1ises, attention naturally is attract cd to the graduates-especially the ewaot girl graduate. Nothing ever created this side of heaven is half so sweat, and this sugary inclination is mixed with the charm of a trained intellect, the delight of comeliness and graduation gowns that range from the simple, mcderate-price gown fashioned by her own hands such as these attractive creations worn by the Pine Bluff High school graduates-to the sort that suggest wedding rousseau.
 The mind of the sweet girl gradu- ate combines the philosophy and sublimatcd essence and residue of all the schools epicurean, platonic, eclectic and utilitarian. It does not take back seat before the rondcrous brain power of the more rrosaic young man graduate. Not at all. It has been proven again and egain that the. relative virulence or horsepower of the masculine and feminine intellscts is in no wise dcrogatcry to the latter. The one may be a four-cylinder affair and ,hs other six-cylinder contrap- ton; but both get there just the same.
 When humanity first walked the earth it had to fight for its food and drink. and imbued with trlba fanaticism, it had to battle with ether bushers for the best valleys and the finest caves. Occasionally the same method was used to obtain fousekeepers. and it often happened that the strongest male arms got the largest number of female helpers
 lIn those days there wasn't mucu of show for sweet girl graduates Some of those ancient girls mish' have had more brains than theas ponderous brothers, but they lacked the muscle power, and were forced into snbjection.

An Ancient Civilization.

"Where was the most ancient civ. ilization known?" asks a recent trav- elcr ill Turkestan. Dr. w. J. Parme' lee, in the Springfield Republican. Ex- plorations show that ten thousand years ago (twice the age of the Egypt ian pyramidsl people lived south east of the Caspian sea, about 120 miles from the sea, who had brick houses, decorated pottery. convenient and ingenious household articles. and domestic animals; they raised and ground wheat, and cooked their food. So far as can be told, they had no weapons, and lived in peace with their neighbors-a trait that may be taken es evidencing civilization. or its ab- sence, according to the point of view.

ewing to the fact that the A H. S. have
decided to publish a weekly paper of
its own, that the contributions to the

be discontinued.
1T is better to devote all time and
material to something that will aid IN
the upbuilding of our school. We
greatly appreciate the honor extended
tc us by the Editor of the Times-Re-
