The Discovery of Dickens.

BY exploding a mine the British
managed to capture a small portion
of German trench near Lille and q
dozen of our "feld grays'' were taken
prisoners. Some hours later they
were examined by colonel.
When it came to his turn, under
officer r, who spoke English
fuently, was surprised to see the col
onel turning over the pages of copy
of the "Pickwick Papers," in Eng
lish, that must have been taken from
his haversack. The colonel held the
book, under F-'s nose and the fol-
lowing exchange took place:
"How did you come by this book?
You stole it from one of our dead?"
''No. I got the book from home"
"Why didn't they send you a Ger
man book?'
Because 1 wanted to read some
thing of Dickens for a change"
"Why do you read English books?
Are you tutor?" .
"No. I'm a barrister. I read it
for recreation
when, people want recreation they
play football; that's better. But who
is Dickens?"
"He is one of the most famous OF
novelists and humorists. Every edu-
Gated man in Germany knows him. -
"Ah! Then he is an Americana"
mo; he is English"
whats he doing in Germany
then? You have naturally got him
in a prison camp, you damned Huns?''
"No; Dickens died in England in

''Oh, he's dead so long ago as that
Then it's no wonder I don't know
him.
And with that the examination
ended. But Sir Thomas Skeggs turn
ed over the pages of "Pickwick" for
a quarter of an hour. He soon had
enough, called a servant, and told
him to pack the book up and send
it to Mrs. Skeggs.
And for four weeks after that, as
soon as Mrs. Skeggs or one of her
four children met an acquaintance

BIG DEMAND FOR MARBLES.
Each Spring 10000, 900 Are Used in
The United States.

1t has been estimated by statis-
ticians that more than 200, 100000
small clay marbles are used by the
boys of the United States every
springtime. 1t is a known fact that
100000 marbles are made every
year by one clay marble manufacture
er whose plant is in Summit county,
Ohio. And these marbles are made
or rolled by young girls.
The marble manufacturer does not
devote all his attention to the manu-
featuring of the game marble.
There are various uses to which the
marble is put, and as matter of fact
the size varies according to it's in
tended use. The Standard Oil COM
pany is one of the largest buyers of
marbles, and these are used for oil
cans and larger sizes are started in
graded pipe lines to clean out the
paraine which gathers on the side Of
the pipe as it flows to the tanks.
Clay marbles are used also by the
manufacturers of rubber, ink and
salt, chemical and powder makers.
They are used also in grinding the
large stones of the photographer and
by railway supply people.
The sizes of the clay marble as
made in the United States vary from
nine-sixteenths of an inch in dame
ter, which is the small "pill' the
boys play with, to one measuring six
inches in diameter, or about the size
of a small cannon ball.

Z. s, HAIR-GOODS TRADE.
New York Its Centre, With Chicago
and San Francisco Following.

Little or no influence is said to
have been exerted directly on the
hair-goods trade in this country by
the war, which generally has been
supposedly to have it's hand in every
thing, says the New York Sun. It's
most marked result to the hair
goods business was the practical
stoppage of shipments from Franz.
and Italy, those countries, upon
which the United States previously
depended largely for these articles,
sending little here nowadays.
Liberal Supply from China.
China, however, is shipping liberal
supplies constantly, and this, coupled
with the fact that the stock here is
so large thai it would take 10 to Is
years before a shortage could posi-
bly, result has prevented anything
like a rise in prices.
The hair-goods trade is not crea-
ture of fashion, though it has to fol-
low styles. Women at all times
have used and in all times will use,
additional hair. Their own may not
be sufficient for this or that reason
and may have to be supplemented.
They may need an entirely new sup
ply-what the trade calls a parted
price, or a front piece-or only a
switch or so-called transformation
to help out the scantiness of their
own.
Women Frankly Admit Facts.
1t is generally something that the
average woman needs in this life,
and collectively it means that more
additional hair is worn now adays
than ever before. Once, there was
almost hypocrisy in the matter. No
woman then would admit that any
of the hair on her head was not her
own and it was almost case for
censure to be discovered with what
then used to be stigmatized as false
hair Today it is matter of course
and the puffs, transformations,
pompadours, Psyche curls, coiffures
of this and that description, and
what not are worn without any COM
junction whatever, but only as a
matter of hair dressing style.
A New Couture.
The leading hair-goods stores are
showing now, for instance, new
coiffure arranged with the aid of a
three strand switch, each strand
rolled in a puff with an extra set of
three eurls. 1t is novelty that is
said to be meeting with great favor,
and so the manufacturers keep Oh
with their creations until every styl-
ish woman, each one arranging her
hair to suit herself, is sure to find
something to meet her particular
need. .,>=> -,>... {,>-.e>. .
New York city is the centre of the
manufactured hair-goods trade in the
country. Chicago and San Francis
co are next in prominence in the in
dustry.

SOAP 60 Cents in Mexico.

That the price Of a cake of soap in
Mexico today is so cents, and that
the lack of it among the natives is
causing the epidemic of typhus fever,
is the information contained in let
ter which has just been received here
from the Rev. W. E. Vanderbilt, a
graduate Of Auburn Theological semi
nary, who is doing missionary work
in the State of Michoacan, Mexico,
relates an Auburn, N. Y, dispatch.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is stationed with
his. wife at Zitacuraro, and his COM
munication was sent few days be-
fore the American troops entered
Mexico. The letter States that in
his own town, with population OF
5000 at least ten die every day from
the disease.
The cost of living in Mexico, Mr..
Vanderbilt's letter states, has in
creased from so to 100 per cent. in
price from 80 cents a quart to 60
cents.
Some of the other prices which he
gives are beans, So a quart; muslin,
Sc a yard; cheap calico, So yard,
and shoes from $50 to $3.50, accord
ing to quality. These amounts are in
the money of the country, worth
about 5 1-2 cents of American money.

just paid a dollar for haircut, and
was paying about s12 a day for board

FIRED ON BY MEXICANS.
Troops of Carranza May Have Taken
Part in Fray.

Washin gton, April 13.-In bat
tie in Parral, between American
troops and the civilian population
last night, Gen. Carranza telegraphed
his embassy here today many
deaths occurred on both sides. Car
rama troops are said to have aided
the Americans in attempting to re-
store order. Gen. Carranza has ap-
pealed to the United States to recog-
nize the dangers of arousing the ma
tives.
American troops in Mexico had
their first battle with the natives at
the moment Gen. Carranza was urg-
ing their withdrawal.
Americans Fired On.
On Wednesday night, while the de
facto chiefs note was on it's way to
Washington, troopers of the 7th cav
airy under Major Tompkins were
fired upon in Parral, Villa strong
hold in western Chihuahua; were
pursued to the suburbs, while the
Carranza garrison took double part
in the affray and were attacked again
during the night.
Complete informtion regarding the
losses to the American troops or to
the Mexicans had not reached Wash
ington tonight. Secretary Baker in
formed President Wilson that brief
dispatch to the war department said
that, according to unofficial reports,
one American cavalryman was killed
and that the troopers used a machine
gun against the Mexicans.
Funston's Orders.
Mr.. Baker announced later that he
had ordered Gen. Funston to take
any steps that might be necessary to
prevent further trouble. When ask
ed whether this might mean the en-
forced use of Mexican railroads for
the movement of soldiers and sup
plies, he said Gen. Funston was on
the ground and would act as any
emergency required.
The secretary expressed the hope,
however, that the trouble at Parral
was purely local and did not presage
more difficulties.
Gen. Carranza, directing his en-
bassy here to point out that the clash
proved his contention that the pres
ence of American troops in Mexico
is leading to situation which threat
ems to go beyond his control, tele-
graphed that many deaths had oc-
Cured on both Sides

patch sent before that from Gen. Car
rama, said one American trooper was
killed and several civilians We're
wounded
= rs Citizens Protested.
Consul Garcia, the Carranza agent
at Ell Paso, wired the embassy that
"several persons were killed on both
sides" His dispatch added that when
the American troopers entered Parral

This latter statement is in direct
contradiction to the dispatches Of
Carranza and Aguilar, which declar-
ed the Carranza troops attempted to
hold back the Mexican mob. A re-
port to the State department from
Consul Letcher, at chihuahua, for
warded through Gen. Funston, said
there had been some trouble at
Parral, when the American column
was fired upon by Mexican civilians.
The State and war departments. re-
ceiving from the Mexican embassy

had been serious one, sent out or

Insults for Dead.
What the prisoners found hardest
to bear in the matter of BURIAL says
the report, were the jeers with
which coffins were frequently greet
ed by the inhabitants of Wittenburg,
who stood outside the wires and were
permitted to insult the dead"
After the middle of April the con-
dition commenced to improve and
with the arrival of warm weather the
cases rapidly decreased and by the
middle of May all the British were
convalescent. Adequate provision
was made to deal with any future
outbreaks, improvements being ef-
fected as result of the visit of Am
bassador Gerard and members of his
staff.

ton of DR.. Aschenbach as head OF the
camp, and as evidence of his attitude
cite an incident When one OF his
staff reported the request of Capt.
Lauder for medical requisites, he
CURLY refused the request with the
words: "Schweine Englander.'
The report continues: "The cruel
ty of the administration of the Wit
tenburg camp became notorious. Saw
age dogs we're habitually employed to
terrorize the prisoners; flogging with
a rubber whip was frequent. Men
were struck with little or no provoca-
ton and tied to posts with hands
above their heads for hours.
Capt. Lauder reports that many
of these men went so far as to look
upon the typhus, with all it's horrors,
as a Godsend. They preferred it to

Laetare Medal Ceremony.

The Laetare medal, awarded this
year to DR.. James j. Walsh, famous
Catholic surgeon and scientist, will be
presented to the recipient on Oct. %,

and women from every position IN
life, lawyers and jurists, authors and
journalists, surgeons, soldiers and So
cial workers.
Dr.. Walsh is the author of "The
Thirteenth, Greatest of Centuries"

there are about twenty families and
to make it parish in which mass will
be celebrated every Sunday. To it
will be attached two smaller congrega-
tions in each of which the faithful will
be given the opportunity of hearing
mass twice a month on Sundays. Thus
in short while the number of resi-
dent pastors will be augmented, the
facilities for Divine worship will be
improved, parish life will be nurtured,
fallen away Catholics will be enticed
back to the fold, the faithful members
of the flock will be moved to greater
fervour and activity, Catholic atmos-
phere will pervade the community, and
newcomers in search of homes will be
attracted. The six new parishes which
have been created within the past few
months in accordance with this plan
are making encouraging, enviable rec.
ords. When in a few years these lit
tie parishes become larger and self
sustaining, their missions will in turn
be made parishes. To my mind this
is colonization of kind which is we'll
within our reach, and which will bear
abundant fruit. Doubtless in some in.
stances it will become necessary to
lend helping hand to newly appoint
ed pastors in struggling parishes,
though the necessity for doing so will
be short-lived. But whether financial
assistance may be required for this
urgent and holy work the burden must
and will be borne for the good of souls
