ENGLISH NOT GOOD EATERS

The Englishman is not good
 natter. With many exceptions, ot course, he may be prejudiced, in different. or even contemptuous where foreigners are concerned: but he really hates no one, not even his Iavowed enemy upon the battlefield. It was not hatred of the Germans that led to the internment of German citizens; it was fear of spies: and even then nearly twenty thousand were left at large in London alone It came to light not long ago that the police. under the direction of the home office, were visiting the former employers of the Germans now in termed. inquiring as to whether the men would be taken back into their former positions if released. This brought forth a vigorous protest from the press, and the scheme was not a success That the Germans will be as numerous and as strong a factor in English life within a short time after the end of the war as they were before is the belief virtually of every Englishman. and he does not care--James Davenport WhelpIey in the Century Magazine.

THE PRIVILEGE OF SACRIFICE

I wrote you a hurried note the other day to tell of the joy ride I gave in the ambulance to the stone-cutter from Bordeaux when l should have taken him only To his point of departure from Paris. How he wanted all his life to see Paris and was now leaving without having seen it. and how l gave him the forbidden joy ride round the boulevards sitting besire me with his "un bras de moins" in his empty sleeve. But l had to stop my note too hurriedly and didn't tell the most touching part of the story: what he said Co me when I left him-"On me gate jusqua Ia finf' This poor stone mason, called from his family and his poor work, thrown into hell Of ten weeks of fighting in trenches. sent back with only one arm So that he can never be a stone-mason again. could only find thoughts to thank "toutes ces danes" at the hospi- tai for having been so good To him.

WHY LADIES SHOULD LEARN
 TO SHOOT

There are many reasons why la-
 dies should go in for both trap and
 field shooting. After thirty-one years
 of nearly continuous shooting I can
 truthfully say l know of no other
 recreation that will do so much to-
 wards keeping woman in good health and perfect figure than a few hours spent occasionally at trap shooting, and as I am learning new
 stunts nearly every week, I am quite
 sure that, providing a woman has fairly good health and eyesight, she
 is never too old to learn.
 Either shooting clay targets or
 game in the field, there is just
 enough exercise to do good. not to
 say anything about the fresh air
 you breathe.
 Many ladies are afraid to start
 shooting on account of the gun kick { ing. If the gun is heavy enough,
 not overloaded and fits you prop erly, you will find little if any re- coil. I would, however, suggest us i ing a rubber recoil pad fitted 10 the
 end of the stock. I heard a gentle
 man say a short time since that he
 was going to buy his wife a twenty 1 bore and start her at the traps. ! He wouldn't think of using such a light gun himself and he couldn't i have given her worse handicap to begin with, for while a twenty bore 1 is q pleasure to use on game in the field, a twelve gauge, full choke 1 Cnot less than 7..) is what is need ed for trap shooting
 l At first you should have some of ! your gentlemen friends who know i how it should be done, give you some instructions If you do not ca-e to go to some gun club, have him buy 2 hand trap and throw the targets easy until you learn to break some and gain confidence. As to dress, something loose, so that your ev- cry movement will be free your i hat should be wide enough to shade the eyes and fit snugly, but comfortably on the head. All your clothing while at the traps should tcel part of yourself
 When you are going after a tar get concentration means everything. After the first few weeks you will fine yourself looking forward to your afternoon at the gun club, where judging from my personal experience, l can safely say you will be a wei come guest.

BOMBS TO MAKE SOLDIERS CRY
French Plan to Take Trenches as
 Germans Weep

It is one of the most pleasing feat ures of the Frenchmen at war that although discipline is in many ways much stricter than in time of peace although the man is made to feel more strongly that he is only part of great machine. he nevertheless has not lost his individuality.
 Among the bombs turned out at a factory which I visited is a chemi cal bomb.
 There was a party of soldiers un- dergoing instruction in bomb throw ing, and so as to show them that the bomb they would be called upon to use was not comparable with the my. one of these bombs was thrown down an experimental gallery and the men were marched into it. I went up with them and returned with them at the run. They were all roaring with laughter. but their eyes werF streaming with tears. The eff feet of the fumes liberated was to bring water to the eyes in such quan- titites that the occupants of the trench in which the bomb was thrown would have been quite unable to de fend themselves Shooting would hsve been out of the question.
