The True socialism.

Once IN khaki II matters extremely
little what you were In civilian life.
Among the group of thirty-odd ruffians
who compose the population of my hut
are an author, Journalist, two actors.
a land agent, schoolmaster, an agri-
cultural gentleman, diversified busi-
ness men, and striplings fresh from
school and university.
Each Of us preserves his own In
parade, and In civilian
life such variegated group would in
fallibly split up into little cliques and
cabals. AS it is, we are informed with
an amiability and a spirit of mutual
,helpfulness which is, / imagine, the
true socialism, although so ideal a
brotherhood has never yet been
achieved by the political socialists who
have had opportunity to put their
theories into practice.-London Globe.

Cork Home for Silent Monks.

A striking curiosity near Cintra,
Portugal, says writer In the Wide
World, is an ancient convent built par
TALLY In the interior Of an immense
rock. The convent is situated In a
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by a dense wood of cork
trees. The convent is known as the
Convento da Cortica, or "Cork Con-
vent" for the reason that the monks
cells, chapel, kitchen and refectory are
all lined with cork to keep out the
damp. From 1850 to 1884 the convent
was inhabited by an order Of monks
known as the Capuchins, a remark
able feature Of their religion being
that, except on certain occasions, ST.
lence was obligatory.

HOW TO MEASURE HUMIDITY
Device That Is Satisfactory Consists
Of Combination OF Two Their
mometers and Vessel Of Water.

You do not have to invest In ba-
rometer, or expend your personal mois-
ture by hurrying to the nearest lob
servatory," whether at drug store or
at a weather bureau, to ascertain the
degree of humidity. From Power one
gets this hint:
"The instrument In the weather bu-
reau kiosk marked relative humidity
is supposed to show the percentage by
weight of water vapor in the air, 100
per cent being when the atmosphere
can hold no more In the form Of steam.
The maximum weight of steam that
the atmosphere is capable of holding
is dependent on and Increases with an
increase of the temperature. The ac-
ton of this hydrometer depends on the
expansion and contraction in length of
hair or fiber as II increases or de-
creases in moisture content.
another device for measuring the
relative humidity is a combination con-
sisting Of two ordinary thermometers,
one having the bulb covered with wet
cloth or a wick extending into a YES
sci Of water. In the use of this in
strumept the wet-bulb and the dry
bulb temperatures are taken. II they
are the same, the humidity is 100 per
cent, but when there Is difference 1t
Is necessary to consult tables In order
to obtain the relative humidity"

Even France has a La Toilette
named Pierre Brizon, socialist dep
uty, who wanted to know if American
railroad men are coming to France in
order that French railway workers
may be sent to the front" The whole
chamber protested and Emile Cor
slant cried; "We are not fighting for
the Americans. 1t is the Americans
who are coming to fight for us. " The
finance minister, Louis Klotz, said:
"All the allies are fighting for the
same cause, and every word spoken
against them is spoken against
France. "

RED CROSS SAVES SOLDIERS
Organization Acts on Theory That n
Is Better TO Heal Wounded Fight
er Than to Pension His Family.

Long ago some one remarked that an
ounce Of taffy Is worth a ton Of cpl.
taphy. A 10-cent bunch Of violets 10
the living outwelghs $50 funeral
wreath for the dead.
That's the motto Of the Red Cross,
says writer I'm the Philadelphia
Ledger. II Is much cheaper to soothe
and heal wounded soldier than to
pension bis family.
Erecting monuments at Gettysburg
and Valley Forge Is well enough fifty
or hundred years after the events,
but a dollar for the stricken soldier
equals a hundred dollars In marble
over his body.
Red Cross money is an insurance
policy. What does II insure against7
Philadelphia's $3.00Q,O00 will surely
preserve scores Of lives. SO 1t insures
against death itself, which Is some
thing an ordinary insurance policy
does not do.
Wipe out Philadelphla's hospitals
and how many more persons will die
every year? Doctors tell me the num-
Der would be many hundred.
Deprive the battle front of hospital
facilities and the death rate viii jump
enormously. SO your Red Cross dollar
is out upon practical errand-not
sentimental, sissy journey.
II is certain te be invested in the
life Of a liberty soldier, which is a
good enough investment for me.

orIaInal William Tell Sermon.

Still another version Of "William
Tell' comes from Denmark. The self.
same story is told in the Danish le-
gends, two centuries before 1t crops
out In the Swiss narrative, and furth-
er investigation shows, according to q
Danish historian, that 1t was borrowed
by Danes, the original apple having
been shot from the original child's
head by a German bowman named
lEigil, when King Nidung sought to test
the mans skill and nerve. In that re-
mote story it is related that Eigil con-
cealed another arrow in his bosom
with which to kill the king If he In
jured his child.
