WEEKLY WAR news

Saturday-The battlefield to tn
northeast of Scissors, where ferc,
engagement has been in progress fo
several days, remains the center o
interest in the western theater oil
war. Here the Germans appear te
have gained important successes, re-
taking ground from the French by
furious assaults.
| Some idea of the nature of this
contest may be gained from the lat
est German statement, which says as
a result of three days fighting the
French have suffered heavy losses,
between 1000 and 5000 dead French
soldiers being found on the battle
field, and about 5000 having been
taken prisoners.
Important British gains are re-
ported near LaBassee, and the Ger
mans have lost some trenches TO
zouaves in the region of Arras.
In the east the Russians are ac-
lively pushing their campaign in
East Prussia and in northern Russian
| Poland.
Monday-The Germans who are
endeavoring to advance on Warsaw,
seemingly have been held in check,
while Russian advance columns have
stormed and captured the important
pass of Kirlibaba, leading from Buk-
owina into Hungary.
The Turkish troops in the Cau-
casus have m t with another disaster
in the neighborhood of Kara Urgan
advices from Tifis assert, the
Eleventh Turkish corps being routed
and all its artillery captured.
A German official estimate places
the losses to the allies during the 4
weeks in the west at about 100000,
and at the same time fixes the Ger
man losses at less than one-quarter
of that number

The home is the greatest contribu-

hearthstone is her throne. Our So

social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies Of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed- influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities OF
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and a guide
to higher life, but directing the af.

Origin of Yarmouth BIoaters.

Yarmouth has been famous for
its bloaters, and the origin of the
yarmouth bloater" is as startling
ly mythical as the better known
origin of roast pig. Nash tells this
story in his 'Ienten Stuffe:" cat
time when chimneys were not and
when coal was unknown, fire of
wood was placed in the center of
the principal room of the house,
and the smoke was allowed to es-
cape through the roof, a fisherman
who had hung up several row of
fresh behring's and forgotten to
take them down for some time,
found them when he did so of a
golden color and the meat delicious

atty list. Berlin says the fighting
around Scissors is regarded by Ger
man troops as being the greatest vic
tory they have gained in France
for three months.
An Ostend correspondent of an
Amsterdam paper declares the Ger
mans have evacuated all the coast
towns and villages as far north as
Mariakerke, north of Newport, three
miles to the southeast of Ostend.
From the Russian Poland arena
comes word of comparative calm,
although the Germans, according to
Petrograd, have been continuing
their offensive operations, but with
out success.
The British foreign office and ad-
miralty are bending their efforts to
secure an immediate search of
foreign vessels suspected of carry
ing contraband and their release if
the suspicious are not confirmed.
The customs officials are working
day and night to carry out this
policy.

HUNTING THE CHAMoIs.
Swift and Strong, These Willy Alpine
Animals Are Hard to Get.

In spring the hair of the chamois
has the color of the deer, in autumn
it turns dark brown, and in winter
almost black. Then the focks move
down from their very high pasture
grounds toward the woody regions,
where they find both food and shell
ter under the broad branches of old
pines, which keep the ground under
meath free from snow. But no soon
er has the snow melted far enough
to allow them sufficient food above
the timber line than they ere off to
return to their favorite abode, the
high, inaccessible Alpine pastures.
There they live together in focks
of five to twenty, most gayly, as
appears from their playing, sham
fighting and merry jumps.
Meantime they never fail to
mount guard, mostly an elderly
doe. 1T seems that these are filter
for this duty than the bucks, prob
ably because of their greater care
fitness owing to their motherhood.
Their scent is so acute that they
detect man at distance of miles.
As soon as the sentinel perceives
something suspicious she gives
sharp, hoarse whistle. Then the
whole company keeps suddenly
quiet, as though petrifed, and after
a few seconds chase away like light
ming toward some safe refuge or for
a distant point of observation, where
they constantly and with great at
tention eye the disturber.
No doubt this scent, too, is the
reason why even jealous tourist
SO rarely sees channels. He does
not pay any attention to the wind,
which reveals his presence to the
chamois long before he is near
enough to see it. Strange to say,
as soon as the animal has got the
scent it keeps on flying much far
Their, as though frightened by re-
port. On the flight all the incredi-
BILE strength and swiftness of the
chamois show up to their best adj
vantage. 1t clears crevasses thir-
teen to eighteen feet wide and
jumps on to rocks fourteen feet
high.

Sunshine and Long Life.

Some towns on the Italian side Of
the Swiss Alps are noted for the
great number of sunny days. Cara
beta and Pentilino, near Lugano,
head the list with 327 and 331
sunny days respectively in one year.
Possibly because of this liberal
amount of sunshine the percentage
of old people is exceptionally high
in the canton of Tessin, forty-four
per thousand being over seventy
years old and ten per thousand over
eighty.

Napoleon's Monument In Germany.

There exists in Germany a monu-
ment to Napoleon l. This curiosity
is to be found about eleven miles
from Alzeny, in the grand duchy of
Hesse. The monument is situated
near the Vorholz hunting lodge,
at the summit of a wooded hill, and
the spot is known as Napoleon's
garden. 1t is dwarfed pyramid of
three sides, rather more than three
feet in length. Upon it stands the
inscription, in Latin, French and
German, showing that it commem-
crates the marriage of Napoleon /.

Austria, on April /, 1810.-London

FolLED THEIR PLOT.
Nine. AIboni Cleverly Broke Up Hiss
inc Conspiracy.

|
"Once upon a time, when Nine.
Alboni was at Trieste" writes Hen
ry C. Lahee in Famous Singers OF
Today "she was informed of the
existence Of a plot to hiss her off
the stage. Having ascertained the
names of her detractors and where
they were to be found, she donned
male attire, to which her short hair
and robust figure helped to COM
plete her disguise, and went to the
cafe at which the conspirators met.
Here she found them in full con-
sultation, and, taking seat at a
table, she listened to their CONVEX
sation for time. After awhile she
addressed the leader, saying: 1
hear that you intend to play a trick
upon some one. | am very fond of
little practical joke myself and
should be glad if you would allow
me to join you on this OCCASION
"TWith pleasure was the reply.
I'VE intend to hiss an opera singer
off the stage this evening"
Indeed And of what is she
guiltyY
cob, nothing, except that, being
an italian, she has sung in Munich
and Vienna to German audiences,
and we think she ought to receive
some castigation for her unpatriotic
conduct
"T agree with you, and now
please tell me what | am to do
"Take this whistle said the
leader. AT signal to be given at
the conclusion of the air sung by
Rosina the noise will begin, and you
will have to join in
"1 shall be very glad to do so,'
said the singer and put the whistle
in her pocket.
'1n the evening the house was
packed-every seat was occupied
and the audience warmly applauded
The opening numbers of the opera.
In due course Nine. Alboni appear
I'd, and at the point at which she
vas about to address her tutor a
'ew of the conspirators began to
make disturbance, not waiting for |
he signal.
without showing any concern
Nine. Alboni walked down to the
ootlights, and, holding up the
which was hung to her
leck by a ribbon, she exclaimed:
Gentlemen, are you not little be-
ore your time? | thought we were
lot to commence whistling until |
lad sung the air.
'sFor a moment a deathly still
ess prevailed; then suddenly the
ouse broke into thunders of ap-
lause, which was led by the con-
orators themselves"

Venus.

Inhabitants of Venus, if there
are any, must find it extremely diff
cult to establish units of time. We
nus always turns the same face to-
ward the sun, so the planet has no
day, and the lack Of a moon de-
prives it of month. Finally it
has no year, for its axis of rotation
is perpendicular to the plane of its
orbit, and the latter is almost cir
cular.

Red Barns In Idaho.

Many new barns are being built ir
the rural districts of Idaho.
Building material dealers in al
sections of the State report an I'M
precedented demand for barn lumber
and red paint. Next to the home,
the barn is the most important build
ing on the farm, and wherever red
barns exist there frugality and pros
perity abides supreme.
The rapid construction of new
barns in Idaho is lifting the farming
industry of this State into a higher
zone of utility and is establishing a
new era in our industrial progress.
