America's Fighting Forces.

The United States marine corps are the soldiers of the sea. Kipling refers to the marine as sailor and soldier, too'-an apt description. The marine does not man the ship in the sense of sailing it. His business is to fight on sea or land, and, in each instance, as a regiment of the army might do were it temporarily detached to serve aboard q battleship. The term of enlistment is for four years. This is the term of enlistment. also for the navy. No re- cruit can enlist for a shorter period unless the president should authorize. Fundamentally, the difference between the regular army and the National Guard lies in the fact that the former is under the command of the president while the latter, until it is taken into the federal service, is under command of the governors of the respective states. When the National Guard is taken into the federal service it be- comes, to all intents and purposes, a portion of the federal army and is subject to the presidents orders and may be employed as the president sees fit, either at home or abroad, pre- cisely as he would employ the regular army.

The Futility of Maxims.

All people of broad, strong sense have an instinctive repugnance to the men of maxims; because such people early discern that the mysterious com plexity of our life is not to be em- braccd by maxims, and that to lace ourselves up in formulas of that sort is to repress all the divine promptings and inspirations that spring from growing insight and sympathy. And the man of niaxims is the popular rep resentative of the minds that are guid- ed in their moral judgment solely by general rules, thinking that these will lead them to justice by ready-made patent method, without the trouble of exerting patience, discrimination, i'm partiality-withOut any care to assure themselves whether they have the in sight that comes from a hardly earned estimate of temptation, or from life vivid and intense enough to have ere ated wide fellow feeling with all that is human.-George Eliot.

Purest Irish Blood.

The purest Irish blood is not to be found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen turies ago it did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little river, by the bay, is q fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar ried strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to Irish natives who even ante,lated the Irish Celts. They are still recognizable as a slightly different type going about the streets of Galway selling their fish, as they and their fathers before them have done for centuries.

"Not One Cent for Tribute"

Charles Cotesworth Pinckney first used the phrase. Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute" Sent as peace envoy to France in 1797, he was told that only a payment of money, to be called q "loan," would make the directory of France cease violating American rights on the sea. "War be it, then,' he replied. "Millons for de- lenses, but not one cent for tribute" :" A little later Napoleon Bonaparte came into power as first consul of France, and, seeing the folly of pro- voking war with America, he treated this country with fairness. War, which had really begun, quickly ceased. Pinckney's phrase was used again by Captain Decatur in his dealings with Algeria, a country which, searly in the nineteenth century. tried to make American ships pay for the privilege of sailing the Mediterranean sea un- molested.

Changed Dresses Change Lovers.

Dorothy and Elsie were virtually twins, not only in appearance but in taste Each had a dress the other one likedS and they decided to trade. It happened that Dorothy and Elsie had previously met two young men, and being only slightly acquainted with the girls they judged each girl by the dress she wore, with the natural result that they traded girls. Time passed. The inevitable happened. As their wedding day approached they were still unaware of the mistaken identity. But, of course, a confession was neces- sury, and each young man had to orig mate new names to call his best be- loved and so the crisis passed.-Indian- apolis News.

 Take an Interest.

If parents would keep the confidence of their children and understand them, they must take an interest in their play. This does not mean that it is enough to watch them play. We must get their viewpoint, understand what 1t means to them and, if possible, play with them sometimes. At one time there was no place in crowded city life for children. Now the community has recognized that they have some rights and playgrounds with kindly su- pervisors are growing more and more numerous. The nation will be riches in years to come for thus providing for the play life of its children.

Raise Bamboo in South.

The plantjngs of the oriental tim Der bamboo in northern Florida and Louisiana have grown to a height of p feet, and there is no longer any question about their producing in this country good canes comparable to those which they produce in China and Japan. A quick method of their prop agation has been worked out so that it will be now possible to supply large enough quantities of the young plants to set out many small areas through out the South, from the Carolinas to California wherever there is sufficient moisture and the land is not too high priced to admit of their cultivation.

Music the Mood Maker.

Music is so restful that it is used to still rioting and cure lunacy. It is so stirring that battle is not attempted without it, and armies become wrought to an edge of steel' under the strange call. It is so refining that all schools teach it. It is so uplifting that every church and every religious service employs it. The history of epochal battles, of great revivals and of mighty movements might almost be written as the history of music. Music is the great mood maker.-Henry M Edmonds in the Birmingham Age-Her- aid.

Imperishable Bagdad.

Bagdad is perhaps the most eternal of all cities. She is built of clay, and back to clay she perpetua]ly returns. But so long as the Armenian floods carry down their early burden to the Persian gulf; so long as Europe, Asia and Africa join their tracks beside the city on the Tigris; so long as pilgrim age to Mecca, Medina, Kerbela, Nejef, Kazimain, Kun and Meshed runs along this inevitable line; so long as ships ascend the river for the huge harvests that we shall soon see once more coloring with green the plains of Mesopotamia so long, and perhaps longer, Bagdad must remain her im- perishable. eternal and inevitable self.

Infancy of Whist Playing.

According to an authority, whist or "whisk," as it was called, was gener- ally played three centuries ago. For many years the game, under the appel lations of "whisk" and "swobbers, !" was played only by servants and oth- CTS of the humber classes, and it was not until more than century had passed that it reached the drawing rooms of the wealthy and the nobility. The first mention of whist in litera- ture was made by Taylor, the water poet, in 1921. He refers to it as "whisk," the name having probably been derived from the practice of whisking the tricks from the table as soon as played.

Woman's Ability to Dissemblc.

When a married woman feels un- happy and forlorn and catches some woman, who tried to but didn't get her husband, looking at her she perks up wonderfully and assumes a joyous look which would fool her own mother. --Atchison Globe.
