Important Russian industry.

The production of wood pitch and
tar is highly important industry of
the timber districts of Russia. A
large quantity of such substances is
not only used for home consumption
In Russia, but Is also exported to for
eign markets. England alone takes
over 100, 1000 barrels yearly of Russian
pitch and tar. In normal times pitch
is exported chiefly to England from
Archangel, where it is one of the prin-
cfpal articles Of trade, while turpen-
tine has been shipped to Germany
from the Baltic ports and overland.
In recent years in western Russia, es-
pecially near the Vistula river, large
quantities of pitch and turpentine have
been distilled from the stumps left
after the clearance of woods, this hav.
ing been in great demand in Germany
on account of it's good quality and low
price. Up to the present time the op-
Grating methods employed in this in
dustry have been, for the most part,
Of a primitive character, and carried
on in small establishments, where the
owner is at the same time workman
and salesman.

TEACH BOYS MILITARY DRILL
"Junior Cadets" at Age Of Twelve
-Must Be a Soldier.

Australian boys begin their military
career at the age Of twelve years
when they enter the ranks of the "Ju
nior Cadets" and drill under the in
struction Of their schoolteachers
Their target practice is limited tt
shooting what is popularity known al
the twenty-five" rifle.
At the age of fourteen the school
boy is graduated into the "Senior Ca
dets' and here his military training
begins in dead earnest. He learns tt
care for his rifle which the govern
l1ent furnishes to him. The state also
gives him an olive drab military uni
form. He learns the movements Of
squad and company formations and
learns to deploy as skirmisher.
The Australian schoolboy becomes
a soldier irrespective of his own
wishes in the matter, or those of his
parents. Truancy officers, such as in
this country watch the attendance al
school, in Australia hale into court
the parents of boys who are absent
from their military drill, and it is not
an infrequent occurrence for heavy
fines to be levied on parents who are

Bird Cages the Newport Fad.


The appearance at Newport of
young women carrying small wicker
bird cages is getting to be daily oc-
curreroe. The desire to do something
different" has perhaps as much as
anything else to do with the promo
ton of the latest fad, but what
ever the basis may be, the public
appearance of Miss Society and
her favorite song bird is getting
to be almost part of the daily rou-
tine. So, if you happen to see a taste
fully gowned young woman strolling
along with a bird cage dangling from
the fingers of her right hand-which
is the proper way to carry the cage
don't go away with the idea that the
family is moving and they won't trust
the songster to the man on the van,
or that she contemplates a long Jour-
ney and has no one at home to feed
the pet. No, it's only Newport's latest
fad.

CAUSES OF SWAPPING NERVES
Hard Mental Work Brings Stress on
Brain Centers-Many Forms
Of Reaction.

Modern man is top-heavy being,
whose brain is disproportionately SUI
perior to his other organs" remarks
the New York Medical Journal In a.
discussion Of the war from the psy-
chologic standpoint. "This Is an age
Of hard mental work, which brings
stress on the highest and most recent
ly-developed brain centers; it was in
evitable that something should snap
and something has snapped; there is
temporary reassertion of primitive
human impulses. In America, reac-
ton was taking milder forms; the au-
tomobile, the baseball diamond, the
gridiron, relieved the tension, parti-
cularly the dancing mania which swept
over US like an obsession. Dancing is
the most primitive form Of reaction
and tends quickly to re-establish equi-
librium.
Probably the man does not want
peace and tranquility, which are too
close to ennui, his greatest dread.
Professor James was dreadfully bored
by a. visit to Chautauqua, with ice
cream soda as its utmost offerings
and its 'atrocious harmlessness. He
knew man wanted something with
more zest and adventure.
Alcohol and tobacco relieve in an
artificial way the tension upon the
brain by slightly paralyzing temporar-
lily the higher and more recently de-
veloped brain centers. Were the use
of these drugs suddenly checked no
student of psychology or Of history
could doubt that there would be an
immediate increase Of social irritabil-
ity, tending to instability and social
upheavals."

Girls Will Marry Crippled Soldiers.

Girls Will Marry Crippled Soldiers.
A letter in the London Daily Mail
conveys the information that hun
dreds Of English girls have expressed
their willingness to marry crippled
British soldiers and to care for them
as their contribution to their country's
cause. The offers came as the result
of published suggestion that plucky
girls might be of service 80, and all
that stands in the way Of the success
Of this wholesale matchmaking is that
no degree of pluck and patriotism
seems sufficient to overcome maidenly
shyness. The girls have agreed to
marry, but they cannot walk up to the
first one-legged soldier they see and
tell him SO. Meetings are to be ar
ranged by certain women Of the Lon
don West end, where these self-sacri-
f1cing girls will be introduced to the
