WarIike Women.

The most celebrated warlike women
among the ancients, apart from the
tabled amazons, were the Helvetian
ladies. Caesar praises highly their
military achievements. In more than
one instance the legions of Rome turn
ed their backs ON the fair ones Of
Switzerland. During the crusades wo-
men often performed the most roman
tic and chivalrous deeds, dying cheer
fully by the sides of their lovers and
husbands.

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY
 RESPONDENT?

While there are women who seem always Respondent and depressed and expecting misfortune, taht is not woman's natural condition. Such un- forunatcs suffer from ill-health. An abnormal condition of the system ex- presses itself in nervousness, sleep lessness, backaches, headaches and despondency.
 If all ailing women would make faithful use of that grand remedy for woman's 7. ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, there would be little occasion to ask if despondency is natural to woman.-Adv.

New Cutting Agent.

Toys, it is interesting to note that steel
Is surpassed as a cutting agent by
metal containing no iron, though this
element has been since the bronze aga
the basis of practically all working
tools. The 'stellite" of Elwood Haynes
claims not only the durable hardness
a. high temperature that gives 1t
greater results than "high-speed steel"
In lathe work, but its resistance to
tarnish Is an added property especial
ly fitting 1t for ordinary cutlery. Its
beautiful color and polish are said to
be quite unaffected by atmospheric
conditions or acid fruits. OF its devel-
opment. Mr.. Haynes says that when
molyb,ienum Is added to an alloy OF
cobalt with Is per cent of chromium.
the hardness gradually increases until
the molybdenum reaches 40 per cent.
when the product is exceedingly hard
and brittle, cutting deeply into glass
and easily scratching quartz. Taking
fine polish, it is SO hard as to escape
ordinary scratching. With 25 per cent
of molybdenum, the resulting metal is
fine grained, scratches glass readily.
and takes a strong, keen edge. Tho
alloy is too hard for forging, but II
can be cast without difficulty.

IS CURIOUS ROCK DWELLER
PhoIas, or Boring Clam, One Of the
Strangest Creatures That Are
Known to Science.

One Of the strangest creatures known
to science Is the pholas, or boring clam.
When still very minute the animal
bores into the sandstone lodges at ex-
treme low water, by means of its sharp
shell, which is replaced by secretions
as 1t is worn away. 1t penetrates the
rock to depth Of six or eight inches,
and hollows out its burrow as 1t in
creases in size.
Shaped roughly like top, 1t could
not leave its rock dwelling even If 1t
wished to do so. For food, it depends
on the animalcules that float In sea
water, which 1t seizes by it's long Sc
phon, or tongue.
The pholas is in great demand at the
seaside resorts aloi.g the Pacific coast,
for its meat is very tender and makes
excellent soup. The clans are dis
lodged in great numbers from the lodges
by the use of dynamite, although it is
possible to obtain them with pick or
crowbar.

SELFHELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
ss-s---~----sma--s-.~-r---
By United States Army Officer
THE CHARGE.

If company is advancing to the
firing line by rushes, the captain may
increase or decrease the size of the
| fractions he sends forward as he sees
at, In order to complete or retard the
movement. When the company forms
but one unit of the firing line, 1t may
be sent forward by rush of the whole
just as the platoon may be similarly
advanced. The captain leads the rush
of the company, and platoon leaders
run at full speed at the head of their
respective platoons. Platoon guides
follow the line to insure prompt and
orderly execution Of the advance, that
is, to prevent struggling or sagging
of the front.
The advance is not limited, however,
to the methods described, as has al
ready been explained. Any method
may be employed which successfully
brings the attack closer to the enemy.
Crawling, especially in surprise attacks
may be the most practicable and eff
fective method to be pursued.
It should be repeated here, as in the
that the use of the rifle is here as
sumed. At all events, the framework
of extended order movements could be
learned with broomsticks, while there
is no method of learning the rifle itself,
even to the fixing of the bayonet. with
out rife In hand.
But no consideration Of extended or
der, combat exercise or skirmishing,
would be complete without the charge.
Even on an armory floor, extended or
der drill is usually finished or with
charge, in order to inject something of
the supremacy exciting element of bat
tie into what might otherwise become
mechanical plodding.
The charge is a rush-an eruption
into which all the pent-up mental and
emotional intensity Of a battle may
have an outlet. That, to be sure. is not
the purpose of the charge which is to
expel an enemy from given position,
but 1t does become vent for the other
wise suppressed excitement of battle.
Because this outburst contributes to
the force of the charge general shout
Is important.
The signal for the charge, sounded
from the post of the commanding Off
Ger, is repeated by the musicians Of
all parts of the line. The company Of
ficers, both the captains and lieuten-
ants, lead the charge-the time has
now passed for direction and control
and the necessities call for sheer lead
ership. Therefore the officers precede
their men, encountering the danger
first. The skirmishers, with fixed bayo-
nets, spring forward together-shout-
lng-and close with the enemy.

When God Probes.

God loves us too much to let what
would hurt us stay with us. So, be-
cause of this love, he himself is will
ing to hurt us in order to save us from
the greater hurt. Probing Is done in
order to get rid Of something that
would injure. And so, as Prebendary
Webster has said: do not be afraid
of Gods probing. He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex-
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
you; do not be afraid Of his probing"
Most of us have been afraid of it; we
may be dreading 1t just now. We shall
not fear IL we remember what kind Of
love is back Of 1t: that all-sacriicing
love that died for us on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves go
utterly into his hands and ask those
nafl-pierced hands to do with us what
they will. Then he can begin to show
us his love as we may never yet have
known the meaning Of love.-Sunday
