Worlds Largest University.

The world in which we are living
souls was never so interesting as now,
in its physical attraction, because we
are understanding it and discovering
its wonders as never in all the cen.
turies before. Nothing is more COM
mon than a tree or flower or a grain
of wheat. Yet around these common
forms of earthly growth, millions are
pouring out their energies and thou.
sands are eagerly studying and dis.
covering new forms of power. The
combined forces of earth, air, water,
light, plain, mountain, lake, river
snow, rain, sun, stars, the universe in
its bewildering variety of seasons, eli.
mate, change, are forces which chal
lenge our lives. They are the constant
university to which all living souls are
privileged to go. The earth is itself a
stupendous setting for the living soul
and we can never exhaust it's interest
or compass its entire meaning.-The
Christian Herald.

lined with soft satin, which has the
appearance of high bow.
Very odd satin and silver poppies
are set over the drapery at the back,
and one single blossom brightens the
brim at the front.
In passing, it may be noticed that
millinery blossoms are very brilliant,
made mostly of silk or satin of bright
luster, and without pretense to be-
ing faithful copies of their proto-
types.
In the picture a wide-brimmed shape
is shown with a round crown. 1t is
covered with hatter's plush. fringe
of ostrich feathers is set about the
edge on both the upper and under

Although one may choose almost

Manhattan Is EIat-Eooted.

Little old Manhattan is dat-footed,
wears poor shoes and stands up at its
work, according to figures compiled
by Capt. Frank e. Evans of the re-
cruiting Office of the United States
Marine corps. Captain Evans is au-
thority for the statement that approx
mately IS per cent of all applicants
who applied for enlistment in the
marine corps at it's Twenty-third
street Office during the past year, were
rejected for pes planus," or fat
foot. He puts the blame on the cheap
ly constructed, poorly made shoes the
average toiler wears at his work for
the epidemic of falling arch. and on
the fact that the majority of victims
claimed they were forced to stand on
their feet for long stretches while at
their employment.
MOtormen, conductors, subway
guards, policemen, machinists, wait
ers and clerks are the principal suf-
ferers from pes planus,'' Captain
Evans says.-New York Times.

FIGHT ON MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS
italians and Austrians Battle Among
Peaks That Are Considered
Almost Inaccessible.

Italy's Alpine troops. mountain ar
tillery and several regiments of ber-
saglieri (sharpshooters) are appar-
emily bearing the brunt of the war
with Austria.
These troops have since the begin
ming of the war been occupying stra-
tegic positions, generally the peaks
of almost inaccessible mountains dom
mating the enemy's forts and in
trenched camps. hauling up guns and
holding these positions against the re-
peated attacks of the Austrians who
are striving to open way toward
possible future invasion of Italy.
Scarcely any details are available
about their hard Sighting up in the
mountains where the snow is still sew

are present.
A company of AIpini was on the
march at night along mountain path
skirting valley 200 feet below. The

meant death. The men marched care

ficer who marched in front when the
path widened ordered the men to halt
and lie down for an hours rest. The
Alpini accordingly rolled themselves
up in their blankets and settled to
sleep. when a dull, muffied noise was
heard coming up from the valley.
Three or four Alpini understood at
once what it meant. The Austrians
down in the valley were mining the
path from below in the hope of blow
up the force. They looked down the
precipice, but could not see anything.
It was pitch dark. Still the noise con-
tinued. The Alpini hit on q plan at
once and the officer approved it.
One of them, knife in his mouth
and rife in his hands, was let down
the ledge tied to rope. When he
saw the shadows of the Austrians
working on the rock he fired at dis
tance of less than ten yards. The Aus
trians fed for cover and then opened
fire against the man dangling from
