PIcKETs ON GUARD IN WILDs
Birds and Animals, Like Soldiers, Post
Sentries, and Many Are Killed
"Doing Their Bit"

Man is not alone in placing sentries
on guard in time of war. Birds and
animals have been doing this for
countless ages. Every gunner who
knows anything about hunting geese is
familiar with the fact that If he is to
be successful he must always evade
the wild goose picket.
Most birds that congregate In flocks,
particularly in winter, always put a
picket on guard. The golden plover is
an example of this. The British star
ling conduct their movements on mill
tary lines.
The beaver always posts picket on
guard and that probably accounts for
the reason that so few are ever seen,
although their work is much in evil
dence. Sentries of the wild are often
killed "doing their Bit"

Corridor a. Revolver Ranoe.

A long basement corridor, bounded
on either side by brick walls, has been
fitted up at small expense by the police
department of Salem, Mass, as re-
volver range. The total cost of max
ing the alteration was but $35. Be
cause Of It's convenient location, the
members Of the force have found it
easy to keep up their revolver practice.
The target end of the corridor was COW
cred with sheet iron. over which planks
were placed to prevent the bullets from
reboundlng. The lights were protected
with sheet iron also. A plain wooden
counter serves to hold the revolvers
when they are not in use. When a
marksman desires to inspect the tar
get closely 1t can be drawn nearer on
wire which is stretched from one end
of the gallery to the other.-Popular

An Easy Diagnosis.

There was long line Of waiting
patients when he entered the Doctors
office, but he didn't seem to care for
that. And his nonchalance was soon
justified, for the assistant came out,
looked the patient over, and said to
this tartly arrival, "You are next" It
was his air of prosperity that got him
this favor, for he had never been
there before.
In the office the physician greeted
him cordially, too. He examined him
gently, deftly, briefly. Then he said ::
"Ah! Dyspepsia"
II know it," said the patient, lam
guidly.
''Yes, Of course, you would know 1t.
Now, how long have you suffered from
IT."
"Well, let's see. I inherited my
money in 1912"
That fixed the date. and the doctor
was able to go ahead with the case

Effect Of a Motto.

Samuel Grindstone was hustler of
the modern school. He believed in
the gospel Of speeding up. Over every
desk in his office he placed large
printed notice reading: "Do 1t now ~
But a week later, with tired fingers
and an exhausted air, he tore them all
down.
"Hallo!" said a friend, dashing in
on the ceremony of destruction.

While the Spirit Lives.

The men Of the American Revolution
have left US an example already in
scribed in the worlds memory; an ex-
ample portentious to the aims of tyran-
ny in every land an example that will
console in all ages the dropping aspira-
tions Of oppressed humanity. They
have left us a written charter as leg
acy and as guide to our course. But
every day convinces us that written
charter may become powerless. Ig-
norance may misinterpret it; ambition
may assail and faction destroy its vital
parts and aspiring knavery may at last
sing Its requiem on the tomb of depart
ed liberty. 1t is the spirit which lives /;
In this are our safety and our hope |;
the spirit of our fathers, and while this
dwells deeply in our remembrance, and
it's flame is cherished, ever burning,
ever pure, on the altar Of our hearts !;
while it incites us to think as they
have thought, and do as they have
done, the honor and the praise will be
ours to have preserved unimpaired the
rich Inheritance which they so nObly
achieved.-Jared Sparks (17S9-1S66).

Ceilings,

Ceilings Of an ordinary country or
town house should be treated with
great discretion. This work should
never be trusted to a painter who will
Insist on some stenciled design for
which he has a partiality. When low
ceiling is so treated 1t appears to be
lower than 1t really is. We should
not give accentuation to the ordinary
ceiling. When the walls and wood
work are Of one color the ceiling may
be colored just enough to carry the
tone away from white. Green walls
and white woodwork require white
ceiling. Height is diminished by bring
ing the ceiling color down to the pic
ture molding. The ceiling can then be
finished with wash or covered with
paper. Flowered paper is sometimes
used in such cases.-Exchange.

Test for Color Blindness.

A new and accurate test for color
blindness has been devised In Sweden.
1t is made with chart on which are
evenly scattered patches Of color, all
very much alike and Of Irregular out
line, showing the white background
between them all. They are a light
and a dark reddish lavender and a
dull cherry red. The dull red patches
are arranged in such way that they
form q large figure, or Q, but as
these are exactly the same tone as
the lighter layender 1t would be i'm
possible to distinguish the figure un-
less one was certain Of the difference
In tint between the red and the laven-
der.
The figures are to be spoken aloud
AS read.

PERSONALITY IS BIG FACTOR
That Quality Which Enables Man t.
Sell 20 Cents Worth Of Paper Gold
Mines for $4,000.

Personality is that quality of human
nature which enables man to sell &c
cents worth Of paper gold mines to an
other man for $4,000 and then have
his customer grieve for fear he has re.
ceived too much for his money. Per
sonality is the greatest factor in the
business world today, and II an EN-.
ployee has proportionately $1.25 worth
Of 1t to the boss 81 worth, that en-
ployee will own the business with
In ten years. For this reason the
boss should analyze the applicant
for traces Of personality rather
than submit him to the hand
writing test which is an obsolete
accomplishment in these days Of type
writing machines.
There can be no crowd Of people
without an epidemic of personality
breaking out, and when it manifests
itself in more than one section there is
a conflict. All persons do not possess
personality. If they did it would re-
main in hiding and have no incentive
to reveal itself.
Personality in n soldier is that which
inspires his fellows to rush with him
headlOng into the jaws of death on the
battlefield; it Is the quality which
makes men aid it's possessor to over
throw empires; it is the quintessence
Of the mystery of life itself which,
when placed in men of noble minds, is
moving this old world onward to the
illennium.-Indianapo Star.

FIGHTING OFF MIDDLE AGE
Society Women Of Today Set Example
for Others In Preservation Of
Callantness Of Youth.

If one stops to think of 1t, just when
does the gallantness of youth change
into the heaviness of middle age? Why
do all the engaging. enhancing boys
and girls become dull, uninspired men
and women? Why do we submit to the
change? We bring Joy with us when
we come into the world and we expect
to find Joy waiting for us again when
we go back to heaven, but in the mean
time we walk with downcast eyes and
hanging arms, crushed by the heavi-
ness of mortal existence, when, If we
stopped to think, we would know that
the spiritual things make life; that
without love and JOY and unselfishness
and courage we could not long endure
the daily mortal round of dressing and
eating and sleeping. If there is any
such thing as eternal life, this present
life is part Of 1t, and why not go light
~ through the hours-even when we
stop being twenty-instead of wearily
plodding through them? We may, If
we refuse to allow the laws and de-
mands of mortal existence to superim-
pose themselves on the laws Of eternal
life and crush out all spiritual eager
ness, says writer in Scribner's.
1t is a matter, not Of the events Of
life. but Of our acceptance of life.
Could the terrible events of the French
revolution crush the spirit of the
French noblesse? There were no mid
dle-aged among them in those prison
days when they danced and sang with
gay insOuciance while each waited for
his turn at the guillotine. They lost
their heads but they never dropped
them, for they knew the secret Of spir-
itual youth.
The society women Of today main
tain that same gallantness Of youth.
Perhaps not every one Of them feels
the pulse Of spiritual life, but they re-
fuse middle age and are willing to pay
the price of their refusal. To hold their
prestige they must be slim and charm
ing, and slim they are, even though in
extreme cases they gain their slimness
by rolling on the floor and the charm
from the hands of their maids, and
their gayety lies no deeper than the
tips Of their tongues. Still, in their
courage and confidence they never
strike their colors to middle age. How
ever they feel inwardly, Outwardly
they never flaunt a dropping mouth or
sagging figure.

MEATS WILL cONTiN-
UE TO BE HIGH

We read much about the high cost
OF living, and on some articles of food
stuffs Spectators are boosting prices
far beyond the normal, but not SO
with meats. ard this article of food
will continue to command high
price for many years to come.
In our own country that has here
tcfone supplied the greater part of
Europe with meats from ':he great
ranges Of the west, the ground is
principally cut up into homesteads,
CIR smaller tracts. and the large herds
OF cattle, hogs and sheep that once
supplied the mari cts of the world ar
no mere. The present war has drawn
from America adj it's surplus meats.
and the countries Of Europe have so
depleted their stock fer war purpos-
es. that they no longer have The ma
terial to restock the country.
In the case OF cattle, 1t takes at
least three years to grow profitable
beef animal. and hogs and sheep tie.
quire at least two years to produce
pork and mutton. We must also not
forget the great number OF cows 1t
requires to produce the milk, butter
and cheese to feed the wodld.
In the case OF a shortage OF grains
and vegetables, one prolific harvest
may be made to supply the demand
but not SO with meats that takes
from two TO five years to grow. An
other reason advanced why the price
CT meats will continue to be high Is
because the far west that once pro
duced this particular food abundantly
has now turned a great majority o
Its grazing lands into the cultivation
Of wheat, corn. oats and hay, thai
command q more ready market, there
fore we believe that meats of al
kinds win be high for many years t.
come. OF until q different system II
inaugunxed.
