no labels on their backs to bind them

believe in.

How to Tell a Liar
From Tit-Bits.

T
 When a man Is telling lie he breathes differently from when he is telling the truth. The difference was discovered by means of some tests made upon his stu dents by Professor Benussi of Graz.
 He prepared cards bearing letters, fig ures and diagrams and distributed these among his pupils. These were required to describe the cards correctly, except in certain cases when the cards were marked with red star, and the students receiving them were required to describe them falsely. Each student was watched carefully by his fellows, who, ignorant of the nature of the card, tried to judge from his manner whether he was telling the truth or not. The watchers were un- able to judge with any certainty.
 Under the direction of Professor Benuss the time occupied in inspiration and expiration was measured. and the measurement was taken again 1mmedi- ately after he finished. It was found that tho utterance of a false statement always increased and the utterance of true statement always diminished the quotient obtained by dividing the time of inspiration by the time of expiration. Dr. Anton Rose commenting on these results, remarks that the discovery fur nishes a certain criterion between truth and falsehood. For even clever liar Is likely to fail in an attempt to escape detection by breathing irregularly Pro- lessor Benussi having discovered that men are unable voluntarily to change their respiration so as to affect the re- sI11t

military medal, the D. s. O., the D. s. C., and other distinctions during the war, and about score of army nurses who received the Royal Red Cross for specially meritorious and devoted work. It took the King over three hours to decorate these heroes and heroines, and every one of them re- ceived 8 hearty handshake and a few genial words from him. This is no small strain for a strong man, and for a man who is only recovering from a serious accident it is something of an achievement
 Every precaution that careful organ izatton could supply was taken to save the King from undue strain. The men and women to be decorated were summoned to the palace half an hour before the time set for the ceremony to begin, so that there should be no waiting. They were lined up in queue in a large anteroom looking out on the palace gardens in the order in which they were to be called in, and a gor- geously uniformed equerry fastened a little hook to the cape of each woman and the tunic Teach man. This was so that the King need not pin the medal or, but might drop it on the hook with a minimum of effort.
 Then the names of the recipients of the honors were called out and they entered the audience chamber one at a time. The King was standing on slightly raised platform at the end of it and as the person to be decorated advanced and made his bow or her curtesy, the King shook him or her by the hand and said a word or two. In special cases he mentioned the deed for which the decoration was awarded, but in most cases he just wished the recipient luck or made remark about his regiment. Then he dropped the
