JUDITH

r Judith was the daughter Of Meravf
and the widow Of Manasseh and lived
in Bethulia when it was besieged by
Holofernes. She was beautiful and
wealthy and lived rather secluded
life. The chief of Bethulia's forces
was ready to surrender to Holofernes
in five days when Judith heard OF his
intentions. She resolved to save the
city. Dressing in her finest robes
and accompanied by a maidseryant
she went to the camp of Holofernes,
who was at once captivated by her
beuty and promised her his protec-
ton. Judith continued to visit Holo-
fernes. leaving his camp every night;
but. on the fourth night he asked her
to remain with him, which she con-
sented to do: Ho1ofernes was so
overjoyed at her presence that he
sound sleep. This was the oppor-
waiting She ordered her maid to
stand guard and. then took the sword
of Holofernes and with two well d.
rected blows severed his head from
his body. She commanded her maid
servant to put the head In. a bag and
await her outside the camp, while
she hid the body in the curtains OF
Holofernes' bed. Then she herself
left the camp, as she had done on
previous evenings. When she return
I'D to Bethu1ia she delivered the head
to the chief of the city's forces who
had 1t displayed on the gates. This
sight struck terror into the hearts of
the followers of Holofernes and they
were severely defeated in the ensuing
battle Judith set her maid free and
died in Bethulia at the age Of LOB,
and fall people lamented her seven
days ISL

THE sonD1ERs' COLLARS.

There is discussion is military mag
azines and elsewhere, over the collar
of the United States army uniform.
Many soldiers say the tight band is
very uncomfortable and a source of
constant fatigue particularly in sum-
mer. One officer writes that when
he removes his coat and collar, tight.
red mark can be seen around his
neck.
Others defend the present style on
the ground that it gives certain i'm
preston of military correctness, and
dispels the appearance of slouchiness
which the drillmaster contends
against. But to this it is replied that
the navy collars are low and rolling.
yet the navy boys have a smart APP
pearance.
A certain degree of military form
helps in training. But when it comes
TO the trenches, considerations of style
ought to be secondary. The boys will
have a hard time enough, let alone
any tight clothing that tends to IN
crease strain. A tight collar would
not be so uncomfortable in winter, but
there is a question if it would not

state, equipped. for grinding wheat

market at home for the rye which the
farmers SOW, If there are millers to

Toxic, Oct. Rev. Taian Uyeno, of

The priest went to Peru in 1903
with 1000 japanese emigrants with

enough money to construct temple
which he called "Jionji'' or stGreat
Mercy Later he founded primary
school for the education of the chill

LIFE HABITS: Life is but a mass
of habits. The motions through which
our bodies move in doing certain
act, fashion in the nervous system
path or channel; paths which will
become deeper in accordance with the
number OF times the act is repeated.
If we observe the nervous system, we
find how often so-called functional
diseases seem to keep going just be-
cause they once happened to begin.
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, Insomnia and
convulsive affections of various sorts
are examples of this kind. Joints that
once have been attacked by rheuma-
tism or govt, mucous membranes that
have been the seat of catarrh, are
more apt to be affected again.
Overeating-theo one habit to which
almost 90 per cent. of US are subject
Is on eof the most disastrous to health
of the body. Sydney Smith has said:
Some men dig their graves with
their teeth
Worry. worry. worry is the habit
stamped upon the faces Of the Amert-
can people. TT is not work that kills
men, says Beecher, sit is worry.
Work is healthful but worry is rust
upon the blade Do not anticipate
trouble, adises Franklin, cor worry
about what may never happen
Equally important as right eating is
right breathing. Our lungs take
from the air, not only oxygen, but
wisdom, love and vital mental power.
The shallow breather literally robs
himself Of health, happiness and sue
| cess.
Cleanliness is more of habit than
we at first think. The cleanliness of
| the mouth is most important. Cheer
| fitness enables one to change appar-
emit misfortunes into real blessings. He
who has formed a habit of looking at
the bright, happy side of things, has
a great advantage over the one who
sees no good in anything. "Of all
virtures,'' says 8. c. Goodrich, Cheer
fulness is the most profitable" There
/ is good philosophy in the saying
Laugh and grow fat" Without cheer
| fulness there can be no healthy action
physical mental or moral.
The habit OF doing a right amount
of work each day will do much te
