SHOOTING civilians.

According to the laws Of war, any
civilian who is found with arms In his
possession is liable to be shot without
mercy. Although this seems very
severe rule, it Is absolutely necessary
for the safeguarding Of the whole
civilian population.
The rules Of war say that no men
will be recognized as contestants un-
less they wear distinguishing badge.
which can be easily recognized. II &
were not for this any number Of man
could at any time band themselves
together and say they were belliger-
ents. If this were allowed therefore
invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing ev-
cry man in villages through which
they marched.
This particular rule b % stringent
that even a noncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wffe against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot.-London Opinion.

WHERE THE MAIDS woo.
Capturing a Husband In India Is an
Ordeal af Times.

Capturing a Husband In India Is an
Ordeal at Times.
It would be a great mistake tC
imagine that there are no countries
where the bashful bachelor does not
have to wait and be wooed.
Is the Torres Straits islands, for In
stance, It Is the height Of bad form for
young man to make the first ad-
vances In wooing. Even after the pre-
liminary steps, which consist of the
exchange Of bracelets, everything lie
not plain sailing. A girl sends mes
sage to young man to meet her, and
II all goes well she urges him to name
the day. When matters have gone as
far as this It is no longer necessary
for him to play the part Of the modest
violet, and he replies, Tomorrow, IL
you wish" Then they go home and
tell their relatives, who promptly Acele-
brate the occasion by general melee.
Among some of the rude tribes Of
India the woman's courtship Is less
agreeable experience. If the man Of
her choice does not respond she takes a
jar Of rice beer and sits down in his
house. The women of the family know
what the rice beer means, and If they
do not want the marriage to ''come
OFF, they are allowed to use any means
short of personal violence to eject the
fair wooer from their doors. They may
put pepper in the fire, drench her with
water, or load her with opprobious
epithets, but to gain the man of her
choice the lady has only to hold out
for some two or three hours and the
bridegroom Is hers. Detroit Free

Let's Be Sensible.

The war in Europe has produced
state of mind in this country that
may properly be termed hysteria.
Speculation and Imagination have
run riot in the popular mind until
we have convinced ourselves that we
are in immediate danger of attack
from some foreign foe, and con-
seQuently are laying plans for the ex-
penditure of hundreds of millions
for protection. Without entering
into the question of the morality and
ethics of war and it's necessity, but
considering, it in the light in which
the world has always held it-a nee
essary expedient, let us ask ourselves
soberly the question Is it necessary,
in view of the present and future con-
dition of European nations, to make
undue haste and unnecessary expen-
diture for preparedness" at this
time? Granted that the temper and
purpose certain foreign nations might
lead them to attack this country at
some time, is it within range of rea-
sonable probability that it could hap
pen soon? Does good sense suggest
that any of the nations now at war,
expending their last ounce of means
and men on home batl4e fields will
believe it expedient to come 5000
miles to attack the richest nation in
the world? The program submitted
by the Secretaries of War and Navy
involves an increased expenditure of
$150,000, 900 for the next year. The
entire program for national defense
the coming year will be $400,000,-
600. Including pensions and all
other war items the army and navy
budget will be $600,U0O, 1000, or two
thirds of all government receipts.
The great question is, how are we to
raise the money? The president has
proposed bond issue.
Is this wise or necessary under the
circumstances? If there were really
immediate danger the question void
be altogether different, but to bond
the country for any purpose in times
of peace has always been repugnant
to Americans, and it is much more
so in this case. Why not devise plans
such as can be paid for as we go, out
of the taxes and thus be surer of
moderation and honesty in expendi-
ture.-Pennsylvania. Farmer.

Should place orders At Once For
Forest Trees.

A comparatively short time re-
mains for making application to the
State Forester for forest planting
stock to use this season. r'all
planting may be successfully under
taken in the greater part of Mary
land, and since the season for this
work is naturally somewhat restrict
ed, the local landowner is urged to
Eplace his order for the required stock
Immediately.
There is for sale at the State
Nursery a considerable selection of
dlfferent-aged coniters and hard
woods, including such valuable and
attractive trees as White Pine and
Norway Spruce, Red Oak, Black
Locust, White Ash, Honey Locust,
American Elm and Black Walnut.
There are offered at prices ranging
from So to $50 per thousand, but the
greater number are priced at from
SIS to Sc. All are for sale at actual
cost, and the purchaser is given the
advantage of the low, thousand rate
on any smaller lots. The trees
themselves are obtainable in seeding
and transplant size, from few in
ches to a foot tall, for reforestation
and commercial planting on a large
scale, there being iu addition larger
sizes adapted for roadside and orna-
mental work. Prices have been kept
as low as is consistent with we'll
grown, standard stock, and the
State Forester is particularly anxious
to have local landowners avala them
of these trees for planting up un-
profitable fields and pastures.
Reforestration of waste lands is
relatively inexpensive and quite pro-
ductive, and the Forester's Office is
glad to cooperate with any interest
ed parties in formulating plans of
planting and conducting the actual
operations where it is desired. APP
plications for stock and price lists
of trees are sent to all who reuqest
them by the State Forester, whose
address is Johns Hopkins Univer,-
sity, Baltimore, and all orders for
forest planting stock should be filed
with him at once.

Power Of L.xddite.

Lyddite is a very stable compound,
It can be hammered or burned In the
open without danger, and It requires 8
illuminate or more powerful explosive
to set it off. Lead picrate is the usual
agent employed. But here Is an odd
point about lyddite- it must not be left
in contact with iron or steel. If this is
done the picric acid combines with iron
rust to form very dangerous COM
pound. Consequently all shells used to
contain lyddite are first carefully tin
ned on the inside. Lyddite is six times
more powerful in its action than nitro
glycerin, and nitroglycerin in its turn is
eight times more powerful than the
same weight of the old fashioned black
gunpowder.-London Answers.

Keeping Up With The Times.

Keeping up with the times does
not mean the following of every fool
fad that makes its appearance, but
it means adopting such improve
ments and better methods as reason
and experience indicate to be practi-
cal. The men who succeed and to
whom we turn for assistance in law,
medicine, the sciences, technical
work, etc., are those whom we
know are informed up to the minute
in the latest and best in their lines.
We realize that such are the most
efficient and can be of greatest SER
vice to US. But there are many farm
ers who, altho they recognize the
value of this practice in other call
ings, yet fail to make the effort them
selves, many even protesting against
the adoption of new ideas or the
practice Of improved methods. We
are fully aware that the amount of
information that is given out under
the name scientific agriculture" is
so great as to almost bewilder the
average man; also, that some of it
is neither scientific nor practical and
that even the open minded, inquir-
ing man needs some help in sitting
out and cataloguing that which is
helpful and practical. For this line
of work we know of no agency that
SO well meets the needs of the farm
er as a good, discriminating reliable
farm paper.-Ex.
