Is a Mere Memory Now.

Staid granddads of today can likely
bark back to the supreme Joy of early
youth when they first donned pair
OF cOpper-tOed boots, some three-scOre
years ago. 1t is interesting to learn,
from writer In the Toronto Star, that
their inception was due to Canadian,
one Newman Silverthorne, whose brain
was quickened In this direction by his
own exigencies in tramping through
wild country. Naturally, boot manu-
facturers did not wax enthusiastic
over an innovation that heightened the
life of their wares at such small ex-
ira cost, and 1t was only by his own
eXertions, In advertising that he ere
ated market for production that re-
ceived the benediction Of many pater-
familias, though his exclusive enjoy
ment of the patent lasted but six years,
and was then promptly shelved by
the manufacturers.
Mr.. Silverthorne is still enjoying a
green old age, under the loving care
of daughter.

First Aid to Marriage.

OF what use is diamond. anyway
ConservatiOnists who are for cutting
out all extravaganza during the war
are asking the question, says the Kan
sas City Star.
The answer, based upon statistics
furnished by jewellers, seems TO be
that the diamond Is most valuable
as an aid to marriage. 1t is said
that the trade in diamonds goes up or
down in ratio with increasing or de-
creasing numbers of marriages. This
is because the diamond is used so
much as the setting in engagement
rings.
Last year the United States i'm
ported $34000,000 worth of dla-
mOnds. an increase of 20 per cent
over 1915 and 40 per cent over 1914.
Looking into this startling growth
OF the diamond trade 1t was discov-
cred that, according to leading i'm
porters, "every girl expects a real dia-
mOnd in pledge Of plighted troth these
days, and the growth of that custom.
coupled with good times and an in
crease in the number Of marriages, ac-
counts for it,"

Write to Sammies.

It's pathetic TO see the eagerness
with which the doughbOys wait for let
tiers from home, writes war CORE
spondent from France. One would
cheerfully trade package of tobacco
for single sheet Of paper with an
American pOstmark-and he would not
sell package Of tobacco for five
francs at this writing! / have seen
him pay ten francs for fivercent pack
age, but that was because a submarine
sank the boat bringing his supply and
he happened to be short temporarily.
To all those girls who are adopting
soldiers, / would suggest two letters
a week, and regular contributions Of
tobacco.
Captain Hull drew A letters. Six
were from his wife, one from his FIVE
year-old son, and 81 were from moth
ers Of boys in his company. They
wanted to know why Jimmie didn't
write; and would the captain please
take good care of him and see that he
didn't get his feet wet? And was the
food all right? because Jimmy had
been raised pet. They know how busy
the captain must be with so many to
look after, but If he would only watch
over Jimmy a mothers prayers would
go up to the Heavenly Father for him
every night.

Lost Wife From Motor Car.

For four hours the police of Seattle,
Wash, searched for Mrs. b. S. Eber-
hart of that city, whom her husband
reported as having been lost from the
rear seat Of their motor car as they
were driving in the outskirts of Seat
tie. The search was ended by the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Eberhart herself, and
then the man remembered having
stopped his car near park to make
some needed repairs. While he la
bored under the machine without his
knowledge his wife had strolled into
the woods. When she returned to the
road she only saw trail of dust
where her husband was vanishing in
the direction of home. She returned
to town on trolley-and there the
story as told by Seattle papers ends.

ONE.TiNE PIRATES
Esthonian 0utrages EnkindIed
Wrath Of Danish Kings.
Records Show They Were Regarded
a. a Daring, Predatory People
Of the Baltic.

The Esthonians, who constitute four
fifths of the population of the Russian
Baltic province of Esthonia, which lies
between Riga and Petrograd, are the
subject of a bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society from its
Washington headquarters:
like the Films, to whom they are
closely related, the Esthonians or
Esths, q race numbering 1,O00000 peo-
pie, more than 100000 OF whom reside
in Esthonla, retain many character
istics which bespeak their Mongolian
origin. They are long-armed and short
! legged, have broad face and low brows,
are usually beardless and have oblique
eyes.
"The first record of the Esths in
Europe reveals them as daring, pred
atory people OF the Baltic whose
pirate outrages enkindled the wrath
of Danish kings as early as the twelfth
century. In 1894 and 1896 Canute vi
sent strong expedition against them
and forced a number of the lawless
bands to accept Christianity and allow
themselves to be baptized. Hardly
had the warlike proselyters left the
Esthonian shores, however, than the
inhabitants reverted to barbarism and
their heather practices. A quarter Of
a century later Waldemar II was more
successful. He subjugated the north
er8 portion OF the land end brought
the Inhabitants under submission TO
the Danish crown. It was never n
willing submission, however. and for
more than 100 years the inhabitants
gave their cOnquerOrs endless trouble
until 1343 Waldemar " decided that
they We're mot worth the bother so
he sold his interest in the rebels and
in their land to the Knights Of the
Sword, who were gradually spreading
their net of power northward from
TeutOnic lands.
"FOr more than 500 years thereafter
the lot of the Esthonians was virtual
ly that OF serfdom under their Ger
man landowners.
"In the sixteenth century both the
mobiles and the fortified towns of Esth
onia placed themselves under the pro-
lection Of the Swedish crown, but they
were forced to acknowledge new
master after Peter the Greats success
full wars against Charles XII.
"For the last thirty years the Rus
sian imperial government has been
making systematic efforts to abolish
the Esthonian language, TO which the
people have clung tenaciOusiy. Harsh
regulations as to the use of the Ian
guage in the schools have not served
to wean the people from their Ian
guage. however. One characteristic
which has served to preserve the Esth 4,
language through the centuries has
been the peoples love for poetry, and
they have rare natural gift for versi-
fication.
"The Orthodox Greek church OF Rus ,
STA also has conducted an active pro-
gram in Esthonia, but according to the
latest religious census 90 per cent Of
the inhabitants are still Lutherans."

Meteors From the Moon.

Taking up an old theory of meteors,
Emile Belot, French astronomer, has
attempted to demonstrate that these
bodies may have resulted from vol
esnic eruptlons on the moon and other
satellites of the solar systems planets.
He finds that an initial velocity of
projection comparable TO that which
has been observed in the eruption Of
Cotopaxi and only twice as great as
that developed in artillery of the pres
ent war would be sufficient 10 carry
Il body free from the moon and he has
made calculations of the speed of pro-
lection and other conditions that would
cause such body to become satellite
of the moon, Of the earth. or Of the
sun.

GERMANS HAVE WAR MUSEUM
Valuable Works Of Ancient Art Saved
When French Buildings Were
Destroyed by Raiders.

reronne, Bapaume, Lens, st. Quen-
of the war, were noted for their many
works of ancient art, and many of the
most valued art treasures of France
were in those cities. Wonder has besn
expressed as to what has become Of
these, and the question Is answered In
stray copy of which has somehow
reached American hands.
Most Of the art objects could never
be replaced, especially those in st.
Quentin, where some of the most beau
tiful buildings were destroyed. But
1t seems that the Germans decided to
save these art treasures and long ac-
count is given in the magazine of the
efforts made, even under fire, to pack
and carry away famous collection of
pastels, numerous paintings of value
and the wonderful painted glass of the
Gothic cathedral. The question Of
housing these treasures was solved by
taking them to Maubeuge and there
tearing down buildings and from the
material erecting a museum In which
the articles were put on display.
There Is a description of many Of
the historic productions and a general
sense Of satisfaction expressed that
German culture had added them to the
esthetic life Of Germany, where, 1t was
planned, they would eventually be TAX
en-. The complacent announcement is
made that the museum Is opened both
to the military and the French public,
"but ii Is principally designed for the
recreation Of the army, so that after
hard days of toll they might find here
an opportunity to refresh themselves.
II is y museum that has been saved
from the smoke and the ruins Of the
catastrophe. War and culture, which
try to avoid each other, meet here"
1t Is said, land they have been brought
together by the artistic instincts OF
German barbarians."
This reference to barbarians Is, of
course, "writ sarcastic" but it is to be
noticed that the innumerable charges
and proofs Of barbarity are not met.
Art products may be destroyed, but
the proofs of barbnric deeds will stand.
