BOY SCOUTS.


devices Of militarism, the Boy
Scouts movement is the most subtle,
deviHsh, horrible and destructive. 1t
is a wolf in sleeps clothing. Its real
Object-tO promote war lust and to
protect industrial despOtism - has
been so cleverly disguised that the
average person has the impression
that it is a kind, benevolent Organi-
cation to help the boys. Read THE
Boys Hand Book" one of its own
publications, and see how cUnningly
the murder spirit is propagated.
The Boy Scout movement is a
feeder to the army. The spirit Of
killing pervades. It was conceived as
a measure to bolster the military
caste. Either the viper's fangs must
be drawn or it must be destroyed.
Democracy must constantly be on
guard or the people will lose the few
rights they still have left. B.

Niuht and the Stars.

We are too much indoors, remarks
a writer in Golfers. Even when night
comes we turn up the lamp and sit
within it's excluding circle to read
what other indoor men have written,
or we go out, hastily and under cover
Of the street lights, to get within 9th.
er walls where folks are gathered to
see or hear something Of what others
have done in films and plays and lec-
lures. Or we sit on shaded porch
with trees about, so that the vast en-
circling night is only GOODNESS and a
breeze. The stars do not get much
chance at us. Thus we keep the uni
verse away from our souls. Such liv'
ing makes for pettiness of the spirit.
These scandalizing, gossiping little vii
lagos always live under roofs and be-
hind blinds and curtains as if in am.
bush, that each inhabitant might be
in wait against the reputation of the
other.
Almost all of those who wrote the
Bible lived in flat-roofed houses and
went up on the housetop when day
was done, so that the wheeling planets
and the whole host Of the stars were
their familiars.

Will Use Old Tin Cans.

Among the recent patents filed in
England is the process for removing
the solder, tin and chemicals from
scrap and galvanized articles and for
utilizing the base metals. The inven-
tor is a South Wales tinplate worker,
who has already secured contracts
from several municipalities for treat
ing down refuse such as tin cans, con-
tanners and similar metallic waste
products.
Formerly large quantities of old tins
were taken by continental dealers,
practically at the cost of carriage, to
be utilized in manufacturing cheap ar
ticles such as toy soldiers, novelties,
mechanical toys, and large assert
ment Of nondescript articles usually
found in penny bazaars, etc. The usual
process in manufacturing such goods
only necessitated simple cutting or
stamping and light coating of enamel
or paint.

Bible to Cost More.

The American Bible society has sent
out a warning to it's friends and pa
irons that the price Of Bibles and 9TH
er publications issued by it are likely
to be advanced in the near future.
The European war. through increas-
ing the prices of paper and other raw
material used in publishing houses, Is
given as the cause.
The Bible society officers state that
they recently have placed orders for a
large quantity of paper at the price
they have been accustomed to pay.
But all materials used in printing
Bibles have advanced from 10 to 100
per cent and future purchases prob
ably will cause an increase.
Announcement is made that the
stock of Bibles and books printed in
foreign languages, previously pur-
chased from Germany, is being rapidly
exhausted and the society is unable to
ill all orders received.
There is no indication at present
when the stock will be replenished, ac-
cording to the announcements that
have been sent to the members and
patrons of the society.

curiosities Of Antitoxins.

One of the latest discoveries in the
field of antitoxins has been given the
name of anaphylaXis; it was made dur
ing experiments in injecting into dog
minute doses of poison secreted by
sea anemones. The first dose produced
very little effect on the dog; it was fol-
lowed three weeks later by similar
dose. The experimenter found to his
surprise that the second dose was
fatal; the first dose had rendered the
animal much more, instead Of less,
sensitive to the poison. 1t was found
later that if an injection into an ami
NAL of even so harmless substance
as white of egg is followed after three
weeks by a second injection, the re-
suit is FATAL but if the first injection
is followed by further doses at inter
walls of a week there is no bad result
The cause of this curious fact is not
known; but since it was discovered
medical men have been very careful
not to allow too long an interval to
elapse between two doses of any al
luminous compound.-Sir William
Ramsay, in Youths Companion.

He had taken her out to lunch and
felt that his conquest was almost COM
pIete. He could not imagine any girl
resisting him, the millionaire, with
a reputation for gallantry that had led
demi-mondaines to throw themselves
into his arms. When he told Lily that
he was going to call on her he be-
Iieyed that she understood as well
as he.
And he called that night, dressed
for the part. He meant to take her
out to supper. He wore silk hat and
a gardenia. He had no doubt that he
would find her, arrayed in the latest
style, in some bachelor girls quarters.
Lilly opened the door herself.
"Come in, Mr. Anderson" she said
sayly. Father and mother are so
anxious to meet you
Anderson thought this was a jest.
He entered the room, to find an elder
ly couple awaiting him. The father,
who wore a long, white beard, had his
hand on an open Bible. The mother
was a simple, country woman, with a
kind face that reminded Anderson of
his own mother.
Anderson felt his blood run thick.
Then he felt both ashamed and morti-
fed.

cd man. my girl has often told me

wondering what sort of trick Lily
Holmes had played on him, and how
soon he could escape.

Return to Flint and Steel.

On account of the steady increase in
the price Of matches, flint rocks and
steel are being sold in large quantities
at Soochow, in the Shanghai consular
district, according to Consul General
Summons. A large number of shops
are now selling these substitutes for
matches, and many peddlers are also
making living disposing Of these ar
ticles in and about the district. This
business has been so successful that
some of the Chinese retail dealers be-
lieve that in due course, flint ana
steel may ultimately supersede match
es, particularly SC long as most of the
products of this kind are imported
from abroad The imports Of matches
into China decreased from $4,7OO,OOO
in 1913 to $3,300,000 in 1914, Japan
furnishing approximately Is per cent
of this supply.
