LIFE IN PARIS TODAY.

There are few touches of life in
Paris now. In the Rue du Quatre
Septembre is, near the Opera, very
clever workman with pipes. He has
several men working with him, and
to see them turn on the lathe is a
pretty sight, for they finish off meer-
5chaum pipes and brierroot and all
sorts of stems in the front window.
There is always a group of lockers
on from one end of the year to the
other. The men are gone-gone to
the war, and the patient wife Of the
owner of the shop is there with two
bright-eyed boys, teaching them to
spell and read. She has four chill
dren, and she cares for them and
keeps the shop to the best of her abil-
ity. In speaking of this to a French
woman she replied: "Ah, she has the
chance of tiny boys are at the
front and may never come back
again-or if they do may be mutt
lated for life or weakened by some
deathly disease"

NEVER ACQUIRED WITH EASE
Talent Requires Cultivation That Can
Only Be Enjoyed by Those Who
Pay tho Price.

Persons with no apparent talent
often look on the talented as fortu-
nate folk who, by some favor of the
gods, live easily and charmingly-
drifting down a sunlit and flower
bordered stream. They are unaware
of all that it costs in self-sacrifce, in
resistance to temptations from with
in and without, and in hard and per-
sistent labor, to bring a talent to
anything approaching maturity. 1t
is not possible to secure statistics on
dead talents; but if it were it would
be found that some 80 per cent per-
ish. This is because of the lack of
character in those who possess them.
Talent calls for iron purpose; it is
not a Self-perfecting thing. An al
most grim obstinacy is required from
the outset if it is to be cultivated
urged on from flower to fruit, from
ripening to harvest. Parents, friends,
the conventions-even reason itself
may be its natural foes. He-or
she-who can save talent alive, yet
pay all the debts of affection, must
be possessed not only of clear and
creative mind, but of a brave,
abounding and magnanimous spirit
as well-a spirit austere beneath its
gentleness. Character, and charac-
ter alone, can save a talent to the
end.

MOSTLY OF SMALL MOMENT
Trivial Cases That Come Up for Adju.
dication in the Various Di-
Vorce Courts.

If you go to the very bottom of
all the many divorce cases that grind
through the courts you might find
that a very large proportion of them
are the result Of some untidy, slouchy
habit on the part of husband or
wife. Some little thing like a habit
of letting the stockings wrinkle down
in slouchy folds at the shoe tops, or
a frowsy manner of wearing the hair
or picking ones teeth in public, or
wearing finger nails in mourning, or
picking at the nostrils, or letting the
shoes run over at the heels.
There is an old saying that
woman may dress in silks and satins
and if her shoes are soiled she is
frowsy all over.
After all, it is the little things
that make up the sum of life. A
woman can overlook an outburst of
temper in her husband once in a
while. She can forgive occasional
fits of the blues or lack of interest
in things that interest her, but little
untidy habits on his part, things that
he does or doesh'tT1do, from mere
carelessness- ss-those are things that
often put a heavy strain on her af-
fections. Sometimes it is the other
way around, apd the husband is tried
as that eastern man was by his wife's
habit Of 'gna%ing her finger nails.
The fault in itself may seem tri-
fling, but repeated day after day it
may shatter the happiness Of the
home.-Kansas City Star.

TAUGHT CHIEFLY BY EXAMPLE
Child Really Should Learn Good Man
ners From Noting the Behavior
OF Its Elders.

In the course of very interesting
little article entitled, "Your Chill
dren's manners" in the Woman's
Home Companion, appears the fol.
lowing wise comment:
"Good company manners depend
upon good home manners. AS for
table manners, the active child who
from his earliest years has been ac-
customed to regular meals Of simple
food with sufficient variety for his
health and pleasure will be hungry
enough at mealtime, to eat anything
that is put before him, If from the
beginning he has been encouraged by
example, then good table manners
will be as natural as breathing. They
will be part of him, and he will
make use of them wherever he is
"The place for a parent to begin
training the manners of her child
is with her own manners. Whenever
mother complains to me of the bad
manners of her child she is uncon-
sciously lodging complaint against
herself as a mother. Of course GER
tain amount of boisterousness and
willfulness is to be expected, and
hoped for, in the child ; but bad man
ners spring almost invariably from
The carelessness, lack of considera-
ton, artificial ideals, lack Of time
many busy mothers, it is true, cannot
give the time they wish to their chill
dren-of those who are responsible
for the ehild's training.
"The old ideal of training in be-
havior was based largely upon the
principle of the child's consideration
for its elders; the modern principle
demands also the elders considera-
ton for the child"

HANDICAP. FOR THE DEVIL
Uncle Ezekiel Saw Chance Of Escape
While Adversary Wore "Rock-
Ing Chair" on Head.

Uncle Ezekiel had been sent, de-
spite his protest, on a mile journey
to a neighbor's house at night. Eze-
kiels belief in ghosts assumed the
dimensions Of a frenzy, and his as
sertion that a certain canebrake on
the way was "ha'nted" was his chief
excuse for not wanting to go on the
errand.
He made the trip going well
enough, Coming back there were
noises in the canebrake, and Zeke
was just mending his gait when a
deer, hard pressed by dogs, broke
from the cover and ran down the
road after him. But Ezekiel hadn't
waited to look, and was now putting
an ample and best foot forward, and
bettering his pace at every step.
Presently the deer came abreast of
speeding Ezekiel, who risked a half
look and saw the branched horns in
the moonlight, and took a bit of
courage.
"Go long, yo' p'int-tailed debbil, !"
he said disdainfully; "ef yo' wants
to run wild zeke, yo'll suttinly halter

POCKET FLAsHLloHT.

Made compactly in the form Of q
fountain pen, a miniature electric
'fashiight has been devised which
may be carried in a vest. pocket, as
conveniently as a pen or pencil. So
far as external appearance is con-
cerned, says Popular Mechanics, it
consists of a barrel, cap and clip. In
the end of the tube there is small
electric bulb, and in the cap a bat
terry. The clip serves the double pur-
pose of holding the device in pocket
and acting as the contact point.

er of France and Russia and, with
the exception of a small section Of
Alsace, kept all enemies from Ger
man soil But there is another way
to look at the matter. She has not
captured Paris as she evidently
planned to do at the opening of the
war. She has not crushed the Rus
sian army as she hoped to do at War
saw. These are all failures to ac-
complihs what she planned to do.
We think that Germany can fair
ly be credited with only wonder
fully effective combat against her
enemies, with keeping her territory
free from depreciation and in con-
dition to yield the maximum supply
of food and other necessities of war
without exhausting the tremendous
military stores she had ready for such
a conflict at the opening of the war.
She has not been conquered nor
has she forced any of her enemies
to call for mercy. To the contrary
II WOulQ seem she ndu SHOWN uGI
inability to reach a vital part of
any enemy's territory except Bel
GUM.
These facts make US believe that
Germany is entering the second year
of the war seriously checked in her
ambitions, but with tremendous
power of defense that may for
months hold her powerful assail-
ants at bay. But she has already
lost as many men as she was credit
ed with having in her army at the
opening of the war, and it would
seem impossible that she can much
longer maintain full ranks. 1t may
be long way off, separated by an
immense stream of blood and pre-
ceded by shocking disaster but we
feel that at the entrance of the sec
ond year of the war we can safely
begin to predict the downfall of Ger
many with the greatest world am
bition of military autocracy of any
nation in history.

nation to the New Englanders who
had invaded the Dutch realms on the
Connecticut river to leave. Washing
ton Irving has told the results as fol-
lows:
Never was a more comprehensive,
more expeditions, or what is still
better, a more economical measure
devised than this of defeating the
Yankees by proclamation-an expedi-
ent, likewise, so gentle and humane,
there were ten chances to one in
favor of it's succeeding; but then
there was one chance to ten that it
would not succeeds the i'll natur-
ed fates would have it, that single
chance carried the day. The proc
lamation was perfect in all it's parts,
well constructed, we'll written, we'll
sealed and we'll published; all that
was wanting to insure its effect was,
that the Yankees should stand in awe
of it; but, provoking to relate, they
treated it with the most absolute con-
tempt, applied it to an unseemly
purpose, and thus did the first war
like proclamation come to a shameful
end-a fate which 1 am credibly in
formed has befallen but too many of
it's successors
