The Gurkha's CHARGE.

That the Indian troops not only re-
spect but love their officers is illus
trated in the following humorous story
from T. P.'s Journal:
A young English subaltern had just
arrived at the front, and his superior
officers, who were not at all sure Of
him, gave an old Hindu soldier of his
regiment orders to keep his eye on
him. The Indian was very proud of
his trust, and looked after the young
fellow as if he had been his own son,
although he was always perfectly re-
spectful and obedient.
Then, one afternoon, the Germaa
across the way started violent bonn
bardment Carried away by his feel
ings, the boy jumped up and exposed
himself unnecessarily to their fire.
The Gurkha Immediately pulled him
back, pushed him to the floor of the
trench, and sat on him! The young
Englishman struggled to rise, but the
Gurkha sat tight.
Not yet, sahib,' he cried, mot yeti"
And it was not until the colonel
gave the order to charge that the con-
scientious Hindu allowed his prisoner
to rise, saluted him respectfully, and
charged the enemy trenches at his
side.

INDISCRETI0N COST HIM LIFE
Ambassador "Talked Too Much" and
the Result Was Unpleasant for
Himself and Others.

In History of the Turks" Chal.
coneylas, Greek, relates how a fleet
of crusaders sailing toward CONSTANT
nipple in the beginning of the thirteenth
century, was becalmed at the entrance
of the Hellespont At that time there
was at the court of Athens an ambas-
sador of the king OF France, who set
out in galley to visit the chiefs of the
fleet. The admiral confded to him
that he had been ordered to take Con-
stantinople by surprise The ambas-
sador spoke of the difficulties and dan
gers of this passage, as it was between
two banks from which ballistae could
hurl upon the vessels enormous stones,
boiling oil, and, above all, Greek fire.
The admiral revealed to him that the
governors of the forts would make
little resistance, as they had been
bribed. The envoy was so pleased that
as soon as he had returned to land he
had great trouble to hold his tongue.
He was heard to prophesy in mysteri-
GUS words that the famous passage
would soon be forced AS there were
spies on all sides, the words of the am
bassador were soon carried to Con-
stantinople. When the fleet presented
itself in the Hellespont the catapults
of the Turks manifested great activity.
The bribed captains of the forts had
been removed and others were in their
places The indiscreet ambassador
was recalled to Paris and executed.

Boyhood Memories.

"The kids of today have better play.
things than when l was boy" said a
grizzled old fellow today who was
watching some boys flying kites
Take, for instance, kites You see
these kites they are flying are made
OF cloth, box shaped and without tails.
That's a big change from the house
kites and Goldfish kites that | made
when kid. When | was a boy every
boy made his own kites and mended
them, if they needed mending. He
whitfield out his own kite sticks to
make the form of the kite, and then
he covered the kite with papeE which
he pasted on. And he made the paste
himself; he got some flour Of his
mother and mixed it with water and
cooked it enough on the kitchen stove
to make it sticky. And when he had
the kite made he was ready for the
tail. He would go to mother and she
would cut out nice piece of old cot
ton cloth for the tail. What a change
these cloth-covered box-shaped kites
are, and made to fly without tail
My, what change that is from the
old-time kites And the old fellows
memories still fingered with his boy
hood days as he watched the kids
raising their kites.

HAVE SYSTEM IN EXERCISE
Proper State of Health Impossible II
This important Matter Is
Ignored.

Without exercise no woman can
keep her good looks. She fades as a
flower without sunshine, as foliage
without rain. And yet, in spite of the
necessity of exercise, few women take
a sufficient amount-those who can af.
ford it preferring to ride rather than
to walk, and those whose circum
stances force them to walk seldom
finding time to indulge in this form of
beauty treatment. Exercise to be ben.
eficial should be taken out of doors.
snd walking, within the reach of the
poor as well as the rich, is one of the
best of exercises. says a writer in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The average woman is, alas! a sadly
indoor animal, and does not seek with
sufficient ardor or zeal the outdoor
life, which is one of the greatest Sc.
crets of lasting beauty. 1t is interest.
ing to note here that the vast majority
of great singers have in their youth
led an open-air life under the canopy
OF heaven, or have sprung from fami.
lies where such a life had been led
for centuries. 1t seems as if the pure,
fresh oxygen of the hills and plains
was distilled in the secret laboratories
of their bodies into the liquid notes
that so move and thrill us.
So it is with beauty. The great
beauties of history have, one and all,
at some period of their lives lived
freely and unrestrainedly the quick,
invigorating life of the open.
Perhaps you may say that in a city
1t is next to impossible to get fresh
air or to ffud the time to exercise. The
first may be true, for alasi city air is
far from fresh. The second is false,
for every person, no matter how busy,
can find the time if he or she will, to
take at least an hours exercise each
day. Health demands it, and unless
this demand is needed, sooner or later
(and it is usually sooner the foolish
victim of 100 little time will break
down just from lack of exercise.

War Fatal 70 oatrlches.

Ostriches in South Africa are dying
by scores because their food has been
taken to feed British cavalry horses.
Besides the withdrawal of thousands
of tons of alfalfa, which is the main
food of the ostriches during the win
ter, drought has added to the scarcity
OF food.
II is estimated that the farms in
South Africa which are the principal
sources of the supply of ostrich feath-
ers, haye lost 30 per cent of their adult
birds. Among young birds the mortal
ity has been still heavier.
Formerly markets for the buying OF
feathers were open daily in Cape PROV
ince, but with the advent OF war there
was complete cessation OF trade.

GAVE THEM THE WRONG IDEA
Teachers Power over Children Evl.
IDENTITY Was Not as Great as She
Had Imagined.

An indianapolis young woman who
has been taking a Normal course at
an institution for deaf children, told
on her return to the city for a short
visit of her experience the first few
days. She knew little about the sign
language, but the children she was to
teach knew nothing about it. She
was expected to learn faster than
they, and to teach them through lip
reading.
The supervisor had instructed her
not to sign to the children. She was
not to show what she wanted them
to do, but tell them and make it plain
that they were to read her lips. THIS
method was irksome, and when the SUI
pervisor was out of the room she
signed" with her hands what the
children were to do. She was NOV
ing her hands upward as she told the
children to stand, and the supervisor
entered theroom. The children stood
but the supervisor said th1t was not
the proper method OF instructing the
children.
Watch ne," she said The super
visor stood before the children and
said Sit down. being careful to make
her lips show the words as clearly as
possible. The children were aston
ished, and were SLOW to determine
what was being asked of them, but two
in the front row figured it. They be-
gan to run around the room. Two or
three others saw that the first two
were wrong, and they jumped up and
down, while several others turned SO
as to face the rear of the ROOM

REFUTEs THE CANAL THEORY
Member OF British Astronomical AS
sociation Takes Issue With Sci
entists Concerning Mars.

According to the report on the 1909
opposition of Mars, published by the
section for the observation of Mars
OF the British Astronomical associa-
tion, under the direction of e. M. An
toniadi, the alleged existence of a
geometrical network of canals on
Mars has received lasting and UNI
answerable confutation." Mr.. Anton
iadi had the advantage of using on
Mars the great Meudon refractor, the
most powerful telescope in the Old
World. In working with smaller in
struments he himself had, like other
observers, obtained frequent glimpses
OF narrow, straight lines, but in the
Meudon instrument these lines were
seen only when the definition was
bad and the image of the planet far
ing" With good seeing, a complex
natural structure Of the so-called con
tinentap' regions OF the planet was re-
vealed, variety of irregular bands
and shadings, replacing the sharp, mar
row lines drawn by Schiaparelli, Low
ell and others. Mr.. Antoniadi pro-
nounces the geometrical lines, and al
SO the doubling of the lines, mere OPP
tical illusions, and presents a large
number of his own drawings side by
side with those made of the same reg
ions by Schiaparelli and Lowell in
support of this contention. He notes
that the markings which Schiaparelli
only glimpsed with his modest S5-
inch refractor were held quite steadily
in the S2A inch refractor at Meudon.
