JOHNS DEDUCTION AT FAULT
Result of Bright YOUTHS Reasoning
Brought CONSERVATION to His
Employer.

John was the new boy at the board
ing house. His mistress was scolding
him because he never surmounted an
obstacle.
John" she said, when I sent you
for two-pound loaf of cake and they
had none. why in the world did you
not bring two one-pound cakes? That
would be exactly the same thing"
John seemed to grasp the knowl
edge. His mistress thought so until
the next day.
She was going on a journey, and
being a large, stout woman, told John
to engage her two seats il the bus.
When John returned she asked:
Did you have any difficulty"
mo, madam" replied the hopeless
John, "but / could not get them both
together, so l got one on the inside

shranneI hal Warfare.

Shrapnel is most effective against
prone skirmishers at ranges from
1000 TO 1900 meters. when burst
twenty-eight to twenty-five meters
short Of the target, and against stand
ing skirmishes at the same ranges
when burst fifty-six to forty-hve me-
ters short OF the target. Black also
points out that a single shrapnel from
a light field howitzer produces a
greater number of hits when the point
OF burst is favorably situated than one
fired from a field gun.
Shrapnel is also playing most i'm

these antiaireraft shrapnel, all %
which embody the same general es-

DENMARK.

lie Temps, the semiofficial organ of
the French government, recently CON
tanned prominent editorial IN which
the Zahle cabinet was severely criti-
cized on account Of its foreign policy
during the war. The Danish govern
ment is said TO be distinctly pro-Ger-
man. though II is working for the neu-
trality Of the country. 1t is further
claimed that a powerful party is being
built up in Denmark in opposition to
the government on account OF its for
eign policy. The Danish Nationalt-
dende. though 1t is opposed TO the
present ministry, points out that the
French paper is mistaken as TO the
main question. With regard to the
foreign policy OF the ministry, says
the paper. there is absolutely no an
tagonism between the Danish govern
ment and the Danish people.
Lieutenant Laud. the aviator Of the
Danish navy, established new Scan
dinavian hydroaeroplane record b. ris-
ing to height of about 5000 feet with
his ''Maagen J." This is even said to
be worlds record for hydroaero-
planes.
Two and a half tons Of lard put up
in 400.pound casks disappeared from
warehouse in Copenhagen. Nobody
can explain the disappearance of the
lard. Even the police think it would
be impossible to carry away 400-pound
barrel without being detected. 1t is
evident that those policemen are not
quite up to date. They ought to be In
formed that 1t ia no trick for man
who knows his business to lug away
even such objects as pianos and huge
ireproof bank safes without being
caught. All that the policeman needs
to do is to look the other way.
For two years past the Danes hare
been fighting the flies, but the work
has been sort of desultory. Now they
have made preparations for a regular
war all over the country. Fortunately
the Danes do not need to waste much
time making experiments. for they
borrow the modus operandi from the
Americans. Their great authority is
said TO be "a professor from the Uni
versity of Cleveland" But in fact
his Danish pupils seem to go him one
better in thoroughness. In every
railway station may be seen large
posters explaining the vices Of the fly
and giving practical hints with regard
to the determination of the pest.

Out of Long Experience.

Barristers should always be respect
full to the court and accept decisions
with good humor. says DR.. Blake odg'
ers, who illustrates the proper atti'
tude of the profession.
A young barrister who held differ
ent views from the court, remarked
on one occasion that he was surprised
to hear the judge make certain state
ment. whereupon the leading counsel
apologized for his junior on the
grounds of his youth.

lord" he said deferentially, he will
