Why Does a Baby Smile?

An interesting mental process with
physical manifestations which is found
in every healthy baby is smiling 1t
is a remarkably early one, too, and a
child of a month old will often show
a distinctly pleased smile when it's lit
tie face is patted or it is tickled At
first the smile spreads very slowly
over the tiny features, then, as time
passes, flashes up on the face and
dies away again with equal CELEBRITY,
and by the time the first three months
are past is accompanied often enough
by little chuckles of glee.
But laughing comes later, often
much later, and many children never
really laugh until they are a year
old, or even more. 1t is, indeed, very
rare to hear laughter before the first
six months are accomplished, and
when it is heard it should be regard
ed as a symptom of unusual intelli-
gence, maybe gratifying to mothers
pride, but most certainly not to b
excited or provoked.

Relics of Old Persia.

Shuster, the old capital of Persia,
is one of Trans wonder cities. In the
dawn of Persian civilization it took
leading part. On the bank Of the only
navigable river the country can boast,
the city gets its name from the ia
nous ruler, Shapur, who built great
irrigation dams and a noble bridge
across the Kurun, now wrongly cred
tied to the Emperor Valerian. Sixteen
hundred years have left the great
bridge, a quarter Of a mile in length,
with yawning gaps, but the water OF
the river runs today through the chan
nels and tunnels made to fertilize
land that had not. yet been overrun
by the Arabic barbayians, who de-
stroyed the culture of Persia.

LEES SURRENDER

Date Should Be IrreyoCably Fixed

BY J. A. WATROUS.

Oieutenant-ColonelU U. S. A, Retired)
Y AM writing on Wednesday, April
i S, but thinking of April 9, fifty
years ago, when two powerful
American armies came together the
last. time to fight after having fought
for nearly four years in a score or
more great battles, not TO mention
many smaller ones: the day upon
which one of these armies, that of the
Army of Northern Virginia, which had
been under the command of Gen. Rob
ert E. Lee ever since June, 1862, sur
rendered to General u S. Grant, COM
mander of all the armed forces of
the Union.
1t was a great day for both armies,
and, for that matter, the whole ma
ton, the South as well as the North,
though Lees army and the South did
not look upon it from that standpoint
at the time / am of those who have
always maintained that the supremest
kindness ever manifested toward peo-
pie was extended to the South when.
under the leadership of Mr. Lincoln,
the rest of the Union prevented the
South from leaving the Union to build
up a southern confederacy. That is
why / say, fifty years after the mo-
mentous event, it was great day for
both armies and the nation.
Many things happened at Appomat-

Now that have passed my seventy
eighth birthday | like to sit on the
piazza and doze in the sun on warm
afternoons. | like to see the life of
the village, the girls and young men
passing along the sidewalk under
meath. Sometimes one Of them will
look up at me. Hello, grandma"
they shout cheerfully, and nod.
l like 1t, especially in springtime,
when the leaves are beginning to I'M
fold, and nature takes on a renewal
of life. 1t is always a miracle to me,
this new opening of the buds, just the
same now as when / was girl so
many years ago.
| was brought up very strictly, in
the Presbyterian belief In those days
we all thought that only the elect
could be saved, and that many were
destined to perish everlastingly in hell
fire. Then, / remember, Mr.. Darwin
brought out book which told US we
were nothing but monkeys, and had no
souls, any more than the beasts.
was never so sure that the beasts
hadn't, and I am less sure of it now
than ever; but, still, that was Pc
Rod of great unrest A lot of relig-
ious folks ceased to believe in any
thing, and there was good deal of
hypocrisy in the matter of church go
ing.
But of late years l have seen the
change that is coming over folks
again. 1t isn't so much that they are
turning back to the old beliefs as
that they are beginning to believe.
They haven't got it all down SO fine,
about predestination and all that,
mean, but still they are beginning to

believe as they used to. And that
strikes me as the finest sort of be-
lief-a belief in which there is a good
deal of hope mixed, a belief you have
to cling to-faith, suppose.
TIC my mind it isn't only the open
ing of the leaves year after year, but
the opening of our hearts, too, that
convinces me of better life to come.
don't believe any of the young
people who see me nodding here in
the sun understand that even at sew
enty-eight one may be- at heart, the
same as girl of twenty.
1t was only three months ago that
/ met Tom Bentley, after separation
of fifty years. The Bentleys had lived
for generations in this little town, but
Tom went west when he was a boy,
after a quarrel with his sweetheart,
and | understood he had married and
settled for good in California. The
first part was true, but the second
was exaggerated; at any rate, he had
come back widower, his children be-
ing married and scattered, to end his
days in Four Corners.
When | looked at the gray old man,
and remembered the dark-haired boy
whom l had loved so much and sent
away. my heart felt as if it was going
to break. But after few weeks I felt
quite differently.
He had sought me out, and he
learned for the first time that / had
six children living, and eight grand
children, and that l had been living
with my daughter Molly since my hus-
band died.
Tom" I said to him, 81 don't mind
telling you that never loved my hus-
band half SO much as you"
Lizzie" he answered, you haven't
anything on me there"
So we chatted together quite gayly,
and nowadays Tom comes over pretty
nearly every afternoon. II he sees
that [ am asleep he goes away very
softly, so as not to disturb me. And
sometimes only pretend to be asleep,
so that l can sit still and think and
live in my memories.

grandchildren call our talks. 1t never
enters their heads that, for all my six
children and seventy-eight years, am
just as much interested in Tom as
though he were again the dark-haired
boy whose photograph, very faint and
faded. stands on my bureau.
At first, as l said, my heart was
hearty broken. But then ] used to sit
cut here in the sun and think things
over. And gradually | seemed to work
things out in my mind, and at first
was reconciled, and then happy, and
now l am just like girl in mind
again.
You see, as I was saying, folks are
coming back to belief, though it is not
the old certainty Now l never re-
GREETED marrying Jim, and hope and
am sure that l shall meet him again,
and that whatever there was of COM
mon interest and affection between us
will be renewed But that doesn't
shut me out from Tom.
Now suppose / had married Tom.

Would the old romance, which exists
still, in spite Of my seventy-eight
years, continue? Or would it have
been frittered away with the cares of
life, the bearing and rearing of my
children, the friction of things and the
struggles? I think it would have
been.
That seems the strange thing about
l1fe-the moment you begin to realize
happiness you lose it. 1t all consists
in the looking backward or looking
forward
Now, what an adventure life ought
to be, and was, and is becoming
again, with the old faith coming back
to us. Because l am quite sure that
it is this youth in our hearts, which
never dies, no matter how old we are
that is to be realized in the life to
come. l am quite sure that then at
last, we shall find the happiness which
we all try SO hard to catch and some
how miss.
Well, then, does anyone mean to tell
me that my heart won't be big enough
to hold both my husband and Tom, in
an existence where there is no marry
ing or giving in marriage? 1t seems
to me that there one will have all the
romance of girlhood and all the joys
of being a mother, and a grandmother
too.
l have put this idea into words
rather crudely, not being writer;
but, anyhow, that was my conclusion,
and l told Tom about it. You can't
imagine how pleased 1t made me to
know that he understood.
THAT is just how l have been feel
ing, my dear" he told me. you see,
when l heard you were married life
seemed impossible for me- But by
and by I began to find out that it has
got to be lived, and | tried to live it.
My wife and 1 were very happy to-
gether. And 1 thought often that If
it had been you our children would
have been different souls"
EYES," / told him. 81 should be
dreadfully unhappy without Polly and
Dora and Mark and Philip and the
two boys in Los Angeles"
But now we have each other as
well as our own" he answered.
l closed my eyes, because l wanted
to think. I was casting over in my
mind the different women 1 knew, and
1t seemed to me that whether they had
married the right man or the wrong
man it seemed pretty well to even
itself out. And l thought of those
who had never married at all, and
what load of experience there must
be waiting for them in the next life.
For my part; Tom," l said, 81
would not have it any different. l am
so glad l never married you-and
used to think my heart was broken.
Same here" he answered, squeez-
ing my hand, and then / saw couple
who were passing along the street
look up and smile at us.
"Pll be over tomorrow about the
same time" said Tom, getting up and
taking off his hat with the sweeping
gesture he used to use. I watched him
walk away toward his cottage. How
pleasant it is to be alive, l thought.
And how pleasant it Is to be an old
woman, with all ones troubles lived
through already.

The Swords Of Grant and Lee

Methinks tonight 1 catch a CLEAN
OF steel among the pines,
And yonder by the lilied stream
Repose the foemen's lines;
The ghoStly guards who pace the ground
moment stop to see
If all is safe and still around
The tents of Grant and Lee.
IT'S but a dream; no armies camp
Where once their bay'nets shone
And Hespers calm and lovely lamp
Shines on the dead alone.
A cricket chirps yonder rise
Beneath the cedar tree
Where glinted meath the summer skies
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Forever sheathed those famous blades
That led the eager van
They shine more among the glades
That fringe the Rapidan.
Today their battle work is done,
Go draw them forth and see
That not a stain appears upon
The swords of Grant and Lee.
The gallant men who saw them flash
In comradeship today
Recall the wild. impetuous dash
OF vaProus blue and gray;
And meath the flag that proudly waves
Above a nation free,
They oft recall the missing braves
Who fought with Grant and Lee.
They slumber ,mong the tender grass,
They slumber meath the pines,
They're camping in the mountain pass
Where crouched the serred lines;
They rest where loud the tempests blow
Destructive in their glee-
The men who followed long ago
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Their graves are lying side by side
Where once they met as foes;
And where they in the wildwood died
Springs up a blood-red rose;
Ger them the bee on golden wing
Doth fit, and in yon tree
A gentle robin seems to sing
To them of Grant and Lee
Today no strife Of sections rise,
Today no shadows fall
Upon our land. and meath the skies
One flag waves over all;
The Blue and Gray as comrades stand
AS comrades bend the knee,
And ask Gods blessing on the land
That gave US Grant and Lee.
So long as southwark. wide and clear,
Potomac's river runs
Their deeds will live because they were
Columbia's brave sons.
So long as bend the northern pines,
And blooms the orange tree
The swords will shine that led the lines
or valiant Grant and Lee.
Methinks I hear a bugle blow,
Methinks hear a drum;
And there, with martial step and SLOW
Two ghostly armies come;
They are the men that met as foes,
For tbs the dead / see,
And side by side In peace repose
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Above them let Old Glory wave,
And let each deathless star
Forever shine upon the brave
Who led the ranks of war;
Their fame resounds from coast to coast,
From mountain top to sea;
No other land than ours can boast
The swords of Grant and Lee.

Housing Conditions.

(By Consul Leslie A. Davis in HarpuD
Owing to the lack of building stone
and almost total lack of wood of any
kind in this part of Turkey, all houses
in both town and country are built
of mud bricks called "kerpitch,"
which is a mixture of mud and straw.
The houses are not large and part of
them is always used for toe stable,
one or two rooms only being reserved
for the use of the family, which lives
in the simplest and most primitive
manner Every one sleeps rolled UP
in a blanket on tho earth floor. The
only fuel used by the majority of the
population is manure dried in the
sun. Among people accustomed to
this manner of living it can not be
expected that there will much market
for foreign goods. The lot of the
people is made worse by uncertain
economic conditions and recent po-
litica1 unrest The exoneration tax
of forty-three Turkish pounds gold
(s1S920) levied on those who have
been excused from military service
in the present war represents the life
savings of the majority of the people
who have paid it.
Yet O certain amount of progress
is to be noted. Many of the in
habitants have been to the United
States. They have naturally brought
back some new ideas, and as a re-
suit there is a slowly growing de-
mand for certain articles. Most CON
spicuous is the increase in the sale
of cheap ready-made and second
hand clothing. A large portion of
these goods now comes from the
United States. The total imports in
1914 amounted to about $4,000, as
compared with $4,000 in the previous
year. There is also a slight demand
for metal roofing, the imports of
which amounted to $500 in 1914, as
compared with $3.50 in 1913.

to maturity. And yet there is some
thing sad in this substitution of scien-
titic matter of fact for the old fancles.
1t is all very well for learned gen
tlcmen like Professor Palmer and
others of similar distinction. But
how about ordinary individuals, who
outnumber the "highbrows" by n
large majority? When it comes to
talking about the weather what
can surpass in interest for the aver
age person the changes that are so
many and SO decided in our North
American sections? 1t is a great deal
more fascinating to speculate as to
the latest manifestations at Medicine
Hat or the diverting predictions of
the Jersey weather prophets than IL
is to discuss the cold figures and i'm
partial facts furnished by the scicn-
lists.
