Military Diqits.

Men with long, tapering piano. fin
gers are apt to desert after short serv-
ice, while those having stubby digits,
denoting stability of character and ut
ter lack of the artistic temperament,
usually stand by their boats and make
the best marines.
Although desertions from the marine
corps are light at times, it has been
said that actors, sign writer's and,
strange to say. walters furnish the
largest number Of deserters.
Records. including finger prints, of
all men enlisted in the corps are kept
at headquarters for purposes Of identi.
fcation, and there are cases on record
where bodies, with finger tips intact
have been positively identified through
the finger print medium.-Philadelphia

The Word % HExpire."

Expire" in its literal sense is breath
ing out. Inspiration and expiration to-
gether constitute respiration. 1zaak
Walton observed that "if the inspir-
ing or expiring organ of any animal be
stopped it suddenly dies" The Ro-
mans spoke of breathing OUT the
breath of life instead of dying" by
way of euphemism, just as they sGid
"vixit'' (he has lived) instead of ''he is
dead" In all languages the reluctance
frankly to say dead" or Idle" appears
hence such words and phrases as 'pass
away" "decease," demise" "the de.

Courage and Cruelty.

1t Is one Of the mean and morbid lies
that physical courage is connected with
cruelty. Tolstoyan and Iiplingite are
nowhere more at one than in maintain
ing this. They have, 1 believe. some
small sectarian quarrel with each
other, the small one saying that cour-
age must be abandoned because it Is.
connected with cruelty and the other
maintaining that cruelty is charming
because it is part of courage But it
Is all, thank God, lie. An energy and
boldness Of body may make a man
stupid or reckless or dull or drunk or
hungry, but it does not make him
spiteful.-Gilbert K. Chesterton.

PUT THE RUBBISH TO USE.
Old Clothes and Furniture May Be

Old Clothes and Furniture May Be-
Needed by Others.
If there is a piece of furniture about
the house that is not actually in use
give it away. Get rid Of it; clean up,
the rubbish: clear out the attic; don't
allow useless articles to accumulate.
The habit of boarding was formed in
the jungle away back when the race
was hard pressed. Our ancestors later
on found that it was a part of wisdom
to hang on to everything they could get
hold of, on the theory that it would
some day be Of use, and generally it
was of use So we have clung to the
habit of boarding until at this time
there are many articles about every
home which are absolutely useless and
which will never be used by the house
hold. Get rid of them.
The conservation of. resources-the
economy about which we hear so much.
does not contemplate the Withholding
from use of anything that may be of
use. Indeed, conservation means using
to the utmost that which is usable in +
rational way. So you are actually con-
serving the wealth of the world by dis
posing of that which is Of no use to
you, but which may be of use to some
one else.-Columbus Dispatch.
