Origin of Moon In Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced, but all seem to present some difficulties. Our satellite furnishes us many un- solved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to tiiis be- lief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of its existence by a ring of sneteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon, whose pitted face gives evidence of the bombardment it received from me teoric masses within the ring. Accord ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been a dead world, a cold and lifeless mass. of meteoric rock. It has never felt the pulse of life or under gone the mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained a cold and silent witness to vast evolutionary processes, going on upon a neighboring world such as !t could never experience for it. self.

 ADOPT ORPHANS

Fayetteville, Ark. Dec. 19.-1t is an everyday occurrence for some big hearted family to adopt homeless child, because it happens to be pretty or bright, but the French 1 and
 French 2 classes at the University of Arkansas have each adopted an or phan they have never seen, and they don't care whether it is pretty or not, SO long as it is comfortable and happy.
 On the suggestion of Miss Mary Hargis, instructor in French at the university, these classes have each
 agreed to adopt a French war orphan. Seventy-three dollars will feed and clothe one of these orphans for two years, and the students have set out Ito raise that amount.
 As there are about one hundred French students, each member of
 the class is responsible for '75 cents, and has pledged himself to raise that amount by asking 75 people for a |penny.
 In the French class there are "A and each student will raise $3 by means of 2-cent contributions from 150 people. Each extra cent given by anyone asked to contribute will go toward the support of a third orphan Stamps are also accepted.
 Miss Hargis has charge of the work, and she and the students expect to close the campaign immediately after the holidays.

eystsm important Habit.

One of the most important habits to form is that of system. It Is habit natural to some women, but to most 1t is an acquired one. It is generally d cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many a falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young, but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi- able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless inconven. fences and increase ones usefulness to other people.-Exchan9a

In these days, when nearly every. body in Britain is giving up something to the cause of the war, pet animals have played prominent part as 8 form of war charity. People have giv- en their dogs and cats to charitable institutions to be auctioned of to raise money for wounded soldiers. So many unstable pets have been offered as to make them burden to the animal protection societies. At recent sale many of the cats and dogs were so old. decrepit and dirty that no bids could be obtained for them, that they were handed over to the societies to be put to death by gss.
