HAD HIS OWN EXPLANATION
Man Viewing MiIlaIs' "Trust Me" Gave
Novel Interpretation Of Picture
to Companion.

A lady and gentleman were standing
before a picture by Millais, called
"Trust Me-" in which an elderly squire
confronts his daughter. who holds a
letter behind her back.
The picture admits Of more explana-
lions than one, for Mr.. Millais has that
rare faculty of putting blended express
slons into his faces which puzzle US,
as the expression of real faces do, says
London Tit-Blts.
But the one this gentleman was over
heard giving his companion is as new.
we will be bound to say, to the painter
as to our readers. "You see," he said,
"she has got a letter in her hand which
she is keeping back from the man in
the red coat. Well, he is the pOstman.
and has just given her the letter; l
suppose it's from abroad. She hasn't
the money to pay the postage, so she
says, Trust me-" ~
The explanation was given with per-
feet gravity, and in apparent good
faith. 1t was gratefully accepted In
the same spirit, and the lady seemed
proud of her companions intelligence

self headed for the sick bed. For
rounded shoulders and relaxed abdom-
inal walls are often associated with
serious nervous maladies."
Not only the physical well-being, but
the moral well-being is deeply inter-
ested in this suggestion, says the Co
lumbus (O) State Journal. When a
person gives way to body-slouching the
mind goes with it and slouches, too.
Those nervous maladles referred to are
the same as mind maladies, which cas-
lily merge into moral maladies. The
only thing to do is to stand erect, face
God, breathe deep and talk sense. One
cannot do these things if he slouches
and let's his muscles sag and his or

BEETLES MOST NUMEROUS
They Are Adaptable Creatures, Being
Found Almost Everywhere on
Face of the Globe.

One Of the most amazing things In
natural history Is the way In which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence. OF all creatures they
are by far the most numerous, no few
er than 10000 distinct species hav-
ing been identihed-three times the
number Of backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
I'm the frost-bound tracts of Iceland
and In the hot desert sands of Africa !;
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, in the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones and in wood and
earth, and even In the very craters Of
volcanoes.
But there Is one place where no
beetle has yet been fOund-lt is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen, to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, a
few insects of varied species and many
spiders, but not a single beetle

DESTROYING Old Letters.

There is only one good way to clean
your desk of old letters. That is sim
ply to take out each drawer in its turn
and turn it upside down over the
waste-basket, without regard to wheth-
err there is anything valuable in the
contents. There isn't anything yalu-
able there, or you wouldn't have cast
1t among the old letters in the first
place. Furthermore, If you begin re-
reading letters, you know it, and you'll
wind up with almost as burdensome
an accumulation as you started with.
And you know before you start that
the letters you'd like to keep are the
ones you dare not keep, especially If
you're married. SO throw them all
away at once. 1t will set an admirable
example to your wife, who has an at
tic full of the same grade Of junk

eeoosrs Were Wealthy.

Several beggars who, for a number
of Sundays, made themselves con-
splcuous by stopping people on their
way to church and asking aims, were
arrested in New York city. Upon be-

sessed a large roll Of bills. One Of
them, it is said, had in his possession

SICK BRuTEs ARE TORTURED
Cruel and Inhuman Methods often
Used In Treating Domestic AMI
mails, Declares Writer.

Barbarous methods Of treating sick
animals as practiced in certain parts
Of this country are described as fol-
lows by writer in Farm and FiresIde.
Numerous cows In our neighb0r-
hood have had holes bored In their
horns and turpentine poured In. They
have had their tails split and salt and
pepper inserted, when all the poor
beasts needed was to have the vacancy
In their stomachs filed with nourish-
ing food. A neighbor who lately lost
a mule from blind staggers used,
among other crude remedies, turpen-
tine poured directly into the ears. Hog
diseases frequently appear In our COM
munity, and every sick hog Is sup
posed to have the cholera. Some peo-
pie pour coal oil into their hogs ears
as a remedy for cholera, but l can
not see where the good comes from
irritating the delicate membranes In
side the head when the trouble lies in
another part of the body.
"Then when chickens begin to die
suddenly, cholera is again credited,
and among the remedies employed by
some people to stamp out the disease
is to burn q sick chicken alive.
Considerable mental effort is need
ed to realize that here in a supposedly
enlightened land, filled with schools,
churches and charitable organizations
today. in 1917, such barbarism per

SOME H0NoRs ARE INVISIBLE
Although intangible and Really Non
existent They Are Eagerly Sought
In Many Cases.

There Is always something Intangible
about real honors. That Is why the
Victoria Cross was made Of gun metal
and not Of gold. 1t was to mark the
fact that the main thing was what
II stood for and not what II was itself.
In the same way the most coveted
title is the order Of Merit, which only
confers the right to put the letters o.
NJ. at the end OF ones name. But
those letters mean such a lot. They
mean that you are one of a little band
Of the most distinguished people in the
world. and that you possess an honor
which money cannot buy, says an Eng
fish writer.
But there are some honors which
have absolutely nothing to show for
themselves. which are absolutely in
visible, intangible. nonexistent, and
yet are eagerly striven for.
One Of these is the blue ribbon Of
the turf. There is no such blue rib
bon, and II there was nobody knows
why It should be that particular color.
However, for over a hundred years
racing men have talked about winning
the blue ribbon of the turf, by which
they mean that particular race for
three-year-old colts which we call the
derby.
Another invisible honor and decora-
ton is the "triple crown" 1t really
belongs to the rugby football field, so
sadly depleted on the BATTLEFIELD in that
deadly serum with the Germans.
In normal times England, Scotland.
Ireland and Wales play international
matches with each other, and. as hap
pens occasionally, one of them "licks"
the other three; that one is said to
win the triple crown. There is no
crown, but the honor is greatly priced
all the same.

On CLOSING the Ewes.

Going to and from your place of
employment in street cars or In autos
close your eyes. There Is nothing to
see worth seeing. The streets through
which you pass are lined with COM
monplace shops. The boulevards are
lined with horrid billboards that ad-
vertise tobacco and liquors. The wom-
en- and girls on the car are not worth
flirting with. The men are all closely
shaven. They look more like women
than the women look like themselves.
Close your eyes. Shut out the beastly
spectacle of modern civilization. Glad
stone used to always close his eyes
when there was no need TO use them.
He rested his eyes at every opportun-
ity. Do you then likewise. Gladstone
got along without glasses until ripe
old age.--Los Angeles Times.

Nothing New Under Sun.

The strings Of blue beads that the
modern girl dons to ward off bronchitis
are merely new versions of the strings
of blue beads worn in, Egypt 1900 years
before Christ to keep diseases of the
chest at bay, says a writer in the Phil
adelphla North American. The tiny
sealed bottle of mercury which she
carried to ward off rheumatics had its
prototype in bottles of a strange dixir
used In India 30 centuries and more
ago.

Soma Neglected Goods.

Among the foodstuffs that American
housekeepers have scarcely utilized are
turnip tops, radish tops, mustard
plants. sorrel and chick peas, among
the vegetables, and the cheese product
that can be extracted from whey. The
greens mentioned may all be cooked
like spinach or they may be made into
delicious cream soups. as they have
been for centuries by European house
wives. Enough sorrel grows In the
average vacant lot In every city to
make many purees or cream soups.
Chick peas are as nutritious as
beans. and when served in broth are
just as tasty. They also can be made
into a PURGE. Radlsh tops and mus
tard leaves make a cheap and appe'
tizlng salad.

Give the FLAG Play


A writer in the New York Sun says
In regard to hOistlng the flag: Every
often the two ropes are secured quite
taut, whereas the lower corner of the
flag should be allowed TO fly as far as
it will away from the pole. 1t is thus
it floats readily with every zephyr, and
in a fair wind flaps merrily and has
a good time generally, while with a
lively breeze the bunting tries to soar
upward above the TOP of the pole. This
freedom is particularly becoming for
Old Glory, which is at his best in fight
ing or playing in the winds and sun
light. On the contrary, when strapped
down with light cords he is apt to wrap
himself about the staff, reminding one
Of an Old-fashiOned stick of checker

pole. Lately returned from the South,
1 frequently noted flags floating from
diagonal cross sticks at the top of the
usual staff, with the result that the
banner is always "Opened out" even
in a dead calm. 1t also flies prettily
in the wind, and you are never In
doubt as to whether the flag is still
there"
