Phyllis OF The BedfOrdshires.

Already The Companion has related
several stories of the children OF the war
zone in France working ir shell-torn
fields, playing in shoi-shattered villages,
haunting the very trenches at times
Here IS still another story, not without
tragedy, yet gentle, and more fortunate
than many. It's heroine, a bright, pretty
little tot four years old, not long ago ar
rived in Bedford, England. after eight
months at the front, with only soldiers TO
mother her. A correspondent in the
Boston Transcript writes
About eight months ago a company oil
the Bedfordshires were marching along,
somewhere in France" when one OF
them, named Philip Impey, found the
child in ditch by the roadside. No one
could turn back, so they took the child
with them into the trench and made her
as comfortable as possible. In a few
DAYS she had recovered from the i'll et-
fects OF the wet and exposure, and was
running up and down the trench, the pet
OF all the officers and men.
The German trenches were about one
hundred and fifty yards away. One
NOR ing, TO their horror, the men saw the
child standing above the trench on the
German side. Cries came from The en-
emy, but they were not hostile. The
sight OF the girl, scarcely more than an
infant, touched their sentimental side, and
she had offers OF chocolate and invita-
tons TO 90 and see them. They did not
expose themselves any more than the
British. 1t was through the periscope
that they saw the child, and we can inn
agine them crowding round 10 get view
OF this reminder OF home.
After that the girl went over the parspet
quite often. She was as safe in the dan
ger zone as il she mad been behind The
lines. No German offered TO harm her,
and once she went close up TO their first
line trench
The eight days trench duty ended ;
the little daughter OF the company was
taken back, and was not allowed 10 90
between the lines again. The company
storeman took charge Of her he had chill
dren OF his own, and was proud OF his
skill in dressing the child and oil his strict
ness about the morning bath.
The company thought that they ought
10 give her a name. Philip ln1peY, who
had found her, was now dead, and they
gave her his surname, and called her
Phyllis, because that was the qearest ap-
proach 10 Philip.
After she had been six months with the
company, the seryeant major was wound
ed and sent honc The girl came with
him and stayed in the hospital, TOO, the
pet OF the patients and nurses. The par
entage OF the child remains a mystery.
When found in the ditch she was well
clad, but there was no clue TO her identity.
One thing is certain: she will be well Ia
ken care OF by the officers and men OF the
Bedfodshires.

Oueerest OF Sea Mammals.

The walruses, or "sea horses" OF the
old navigaiors, are the sirangest and most
grotesque of all sea mammals. Their
large, rugged heads. armed with two long
ivory tusks, and their huge swollen
bodies, covered with hairless. wfinkled
and warty skin, give them a formidable
appearance unlike that ofsny other NAM
nal. They are much larger than most
seals, the old males weighing from 1000
to 5000 pounds and the females about
two-tbirds as much.
Waluses have a strongly developed
maternal instinct and show great devotion
and disregard OF their own safety in de-
tending the young. The Eskimos at Cape
Vancouver, Benng sea. hunt them in fraiI
skin covered kyaks, using ivory or bone
pointed spears and sealskins floats.
Several hunters told me Of exciting and
dangerous encounters they had expen-
enced with mother walruses. If the
young are attacked or even approached
the mother does not hesitate 10 charge
furiouslY. The hunters confess that on
such OCCASIONS there is no option but TO
paddle for ones life.
Occasionally an old wslrus is unusually
yindictive and, after forcing a hunter TO
take refuge on the ice. will remain pa
trolling the vicinity Tor long time. roar
ing and menacing the object Of her anger.

Bottles Arc Very Ancient.

Who made the first bottle has never
been determined. but The necessity for
some means OF transporting liquids, OF
which water was undoubtedly the first to
be considered, must have existed from
the beginning OF the human race, and I'll
generally considered probable that the
first receptacle for this purpose was made
from the skin oil an animal. This was
removed with as little mutilaiion as pos
sibIe, and all the unavoidable openings
were carefully sewed up, leaving a single
leg for filling or emptying, which was
tied up with cord.
These, we know. were used ages ago
by many primitive peoples and have
since been employed extensively in many
parts OF the world, and even today they
may be seen in use in some oriental
countries. II was this kind OF bottle that
was referred TO in the Bible in the much
quoted dictum relating TO putting new
wine into old bottles. The objection 10
this procedure was that the skin OF an old
bottle has become fully stretched and
weakened by use, and if new wine was
put into il the pressure Of The gases gen.
Grated by the continued fermentation oi
the wine would burst the bottle.
II IS a generally accepted fact that
glassmaking and glass bottles originated
among the Egyptians. although at what
date no one has presumed 10 state. Even
in Egypt, however. the art Of glassmsk-
ing in its early history appears 10 have
been confined TO certain localities and
was not praciiced at all widely.

Find Much Money In Old Dwelling,

Gold, silver, and notes amounting to
81 ,O97.25 and permanent certificates OF
deposit in Gettysburg banks representing
about S4,1OO have been found in the
house of Amos r. Shank and Annie E.
Shank, brother and sister, who died at
their home near Cashtown, Pa, February
20 and February p, respectively. Resi-
dents of that section had no idea the
couple were possessed OF any wealth
worth while.
For years they had lived in their humble
residence, scarcely ever leaving il TO 90
farther away than Cashtown or Nc
Knighistown. II was said, Immediately
after the brothers. death, that he had
been as far as Gettysburg only two or
three times in the past forty years.
They were clad always in the simplest OF
clothing and gave every evidence Of bor-
dering almost on state OF poverty.
After The death OF the brother and SIS
fer the place was searched by relatives
and others connected with the settling OF
whatever estate there might be. Surprise
after surprise greeted them. No less than
$3.50 in gold was found, about $3.50 in sill
yer, and $50 in paper money. In addition,
the Observation-Disclosures ofdeposit.
aegregating 81 100, were uncovered. and
for several days further investigation was
made in the beliefthat somewhere about
the premises there might be other things
secreted. The couple had carefully al
tended 10 their business affairs and re-
newed the certificates promptly as they
came due.
But. while the discovery OF the money
was such a great revelation, the men
were even more surprised to find the
abundance of good clothing in various
rsoms. Twenty-Five good skirts and
other clothing in proportion were reveal
ed by the search, and Mr.. Shank and his
sister evidently had an they desired,
though the reason for their extensive
purchases Of clothing is a mystery, for it
is not known when they ever wore it.
The personally, consistingofthe money
certificates, articles about the place, and
SO on, has been valued at between &,
and 5000, while il is further known that
they owned not only the farm on which
they lived. but small property IN Nc
Knightstown, and tract OF timberland.
Neither Mr. Shank n0r his sister had
ever marrIed. They are the last members
OF their immediate family and the nearest
relatives are first cousins.
