History tells US that on Napoleon's
fatal retreat from Moscow the wearied

hungry wolf packs. Today IL Is said
that the wolves have gathered from
their Businesses In the forests OF POI

the battlefields OF the eastern front.
London Tit-Bits remarks.
Some time ago an officer gave a
graphic description OF the long lines
OF wolves stealing nom the coverts
at nightfall. passing within a few feet
OF him as he lay wounded, and he
stated that the sight Of these gaunt

their ghostly feast. would never be

OF strange occurrences began TO come

that south Of the lines OF battle herds

bers increase that soon they we're

"knitters' Neuritis"

Too much wartime knitting and sew
ing is responsible for the appearance
in England of a malady which may be
compared with writer's cramp or ten
mis- elbow. The physicians call it
''knitters' neuritis." The only treat
ment is to give up knitting indef.
nitely.
when any unframed set OF muscles
is suddenly called upon to repeat in
definitely a complex and unaccus-
toned sequence OF movements" says
a London physician. "a spasmodic
paralysis is very likely to develop
Knitters' neuritis begins with the
worker feeling that the usual wrist
and finger movements cannot be fol-
lowed with the customary ease. Then
the muscles get stiff. and in the later
stage develop a spasmodic cramp as
soon as the knitting needles are
taken into the fingers. Although the
fingers are thus affected whenever an
attempt is made 20 knit. there is no
interference with other varieties Of
finger movement"

"Englishmen now. she said, have

heart trouble. He had won the whisky
on the Harvard-Yale football game.
and was so elated that he insisted
that his stomach was as good as his
judgment. He had almost accom-

the floor.
More fortunate was Willis Hunting
OF Milwaukee. who took to himself a
short time ago the title OF champion
almond eater OF his city. He was
very fond Of burnt almonds and on a
wager agreed to consume a five-pound
box. He performed the feat. ate half

but with the liberal use OF the stom-

The university OF St. Andrews.

ed principal in succession TO Sir
James Donaldson. formerly bore closer
resemblance TO our southern seats OF
learning than the other Scottish uni
versities.
The practice OF residing within the
walls prevailed longer here than else
where. and ceased mainly because the
rooms were allowed to become unin-
habitable in the interest Of the pro-
fessors' Candlemas dividends. Andrew
Lang once met an aged st. Andrews
