Inveetive Carried Too Far.

An unusual suit for SANDER, brought
by clergyman against members Of
his church, is reported by the Michi-
gan Law Review as follows:
Plaintiff, minister of the Gospel,
and defendants were members of the
Colored Baptist church. During q
campaign for state prohibition plain

tutional amendment to that effect. De-
PENDANTS, at various conventions of
said church, made statements to the
effect that plaintiff was a rascal, a
whisky agent, a disgraceful saloon
puller, ETC., and introduced resolutions
expelling him from membership. Held,

German Care of the Wounded.

An American newspaper man writ
ing from Germany, where he had been
allowed an opportunity to study the
system of sanitary and medical service
in the army, makes the interesting
statement that 1t is not only extremely
thorough, but that the conservation Of
life and limb Is the policy and prac-
tice of the surgeons. That is, their
great endeavor is to save life and to
avoid amputation Of legs or arms
where it is possible.
That they have remarkable success
is indicated by the fact that out of
1887 severely wounded men brought
to u certain field hospital within q
given four weeks, but IT died. Out of
hundreds of operations performed.
only one was an amputation of limb.
There Is no post-battle butchery by
eager young surgeons, for no operation
is performed until 1t is pronounced alb,
solutely necessary by a competent
head surgeon.

Details Can Wait,

A patriotic, Welshman was asked
what emblems and distinctions he
thought the new Welsh battalion of
the British army ought to wear. The
traditional emblem of Wales is the
leek, but he thought this probably
would be inappropriate. Mr.. Lloyd
George has recently put forward the
claims of the daffodil as the Welsh ma
tional flower, but that seems to lack
historic confirmation, so it was agreed
that it was most likely that the Welsh
guard would wear distinguishing
badge of the Prince of Wales feath.
ers. But Wales has other emblems;
the red dragon Of her flag, for in
stance. That might be used, and as
for cap band, the national color Of
Wales is a dark green. But probably
these nice little details of parade and
ceremony will not worry the new
guards very much. They will be born
into the all-leveling uniform Of khaki,
and there will be plenty Of time to
arrange the other little details of scar
let and buttons.

Birds HeadIess of Mar.

Some persons in England have ex.
pected to see a large immigration Of
birds from the continent to Britain,
as consequence Of the war in France
and Belgium, including species here
tofore unknown in England. On this
point Bird Notes and News (London)
comments thus:
So far there appears to be no eri-
dence of such abnormal movements in
the bird-world, although northeriy
migration of species, which usually
go south is said to have been noted on
the east coast in October. It Is hard.
" probable that birds without the
migratory instinct, and unaccustomed
to the migration routes to England,
would cross the seas from Europe.

populated and closely cultivated land
such as Belgium was, bird-Iife is not

NEED CONSTANT CARE
CHIP CANALS HAVE TO BE WELL
LOOKED AFTER,
Nature Of Ground Through Which
They Are Cut Makes the Mos:
Thorough Watohfulness
imperative

In the European war canals are per-
ways, the KieI canal to the Germans
and the Suez canal to the British gov
eminent in Egypt It Is not generally
known what enormous difficulties have
to be faced in the endeavor to keep
these canals clear.
The Germans have spent a gigantic
Gum on their Kiel canal, which carries
their ships from the North sea to the
Baltic. Just before they made this
war they had widened it at cost of
fifteen millions.
The United States has anxieties
over the Culebra cut IN the Panama,
but not more so than the Germans
over their waterway. For the ground
through which the latter Is cut is In
most places nothing but peat-rotten.
black stuff which keeps on breaking
up and falling back into the canal.
Also the bottom continually bumps
up" thus lowering the depth Of the
passage. The craft that use the kiel
canal have to crawl along They say
that II cruiser were to make dash
through at top speed it would take
year and several millions of money to
remedy the damage done by her stern
wave.
Leave any canal alone for even a
year. and it would no longer be fit for
navigation. Within five years small
boat would be unable to pass through
1t.
Each canal has It's own special trou-
bles. The canal of Panama has land
slides Many have taken place during
its construction, many more will have
to be dealt with in coming years. Not
long after opening the canal was COM
pletely closed to traffic because of an
enormous landslide.
The German-led Turks are said to
be about to attack Egypt. If their
armies ever manage to cross the Wa
terless desert of Sinai they will find
themselves on the far bank Of the
broad Suez canal, which will be pa.
trolled by British warships, mounting
guns beside which the Turkish artil-
lery will be mere toys
But the sue2. like the Panama canal,
could never afford passage for these
great ships unless work went on con-
stantly to keep it clear. It Is esti'
mated that, If the dredging work on
the Suez were abandoned, within less
than ten years the Turks or anyone
else could cross It dry shod.
On both sides of the canal stretch
miles Of dry desert, from which every
wind that blows lifts the sand in edg-
ing sspirals and carries it in great
clouds A single storm may drop a
thousand tons of sand into one mile of
the canal.
OF late years a great quantity of
trees have been planted along the
banks in order to prevent the sand
from drifting into the water; yet even
so, great steam dredgers are always
at work scooping from the bottom the
blown-in sand. and dumping it along
the shore.
Another trouble of those in charge
of the Suez canal Is caused by fresh
water springs, which burst up in its
deep bed and pile the sand in ridges.

WHERE SHE GOT BOUQUET
Madeline Careful to Obey lnstrue~
tons ForbIdding the Picking
Of Flowers,

Her name was Madeline. She was
colored dusty black, as lean, fat, an
gular as a lath, and she was about
seventeen years old. The distinguish
ing feature about her face was her
eyes; they were large and round and
white, and they Invariably expressed
the last degree OF startled innocence.
Madeline worked days for Mrs.
Judge Gentry. She went home nights.
One morning she appeared with a
large bouquet, which she presented to
Mrs. Gentry before she began work
on the breakfast dishes.
To Mrs. Gentry the flowers seemed
somehow familiar. I'm very much
pleased to think that you should bring
me such nice flowers, Madeline" said
the white woman. Does your mother
grow them at your homer"
Madeline became, if possible, more
innocent. Nom, my nanny washes;
don grow nuthin'. I jes' picked dat

With a few questions Mrs. Gentry
established the fact that the flowers
came from the yard of her friend Mrs.
Gordon in the next block.

Madeline the difference between mine
and thine. Madeline agreed to every
thing, and professed her complete
understanding and appreciation. And
the next Thursday morning she ap-
peared with another. larger bouquet,
which she presented with an air Of
guileless nonchalance.
''You didn't take these beautiful
flowers from Mrs. Gordon's yard,
did you, Madeline?" Mrs. Gentry
asked, striving to mask her suspicion
with kindness.
Nom" returned Madeline. "Yo'
told me not to take flowers from
white ladies' yards"
did some one give you these?" con-
tinued Mrs. Gentry.
'No'm," answered Madeline. no.

Then how did you come by them?"
