Wrist Matches In Mar

Why all officers wear wrist watches
in trench warfare was explained by an
army official. He described an advance
from the trenches as an illustration,
telling how every move was made on
a prearranged schedule, the artillery
throwing curtain of fire for certain
number Of seconds, while the infantry
advanced twenty yards, then lifting 1t
to twenty yards further ahead, while
the infantry made another advance,
and so on.
IAN this shell fire." he said, is be-
ing done by artillery far behind. The
artillery officer depends most Of all
upon his watch. He sits with a tele-
phone glued to his ear and field glasses
in his hands. He has no time to be
fumbling for his watch. A minutes
error In changing the range would mean
that the shells would be falling into
his own advancing troops. Nor has the
officer leading his men across No
Mans Land any time to be fumbling
for his watch"

Sham WaIIa of a Cathedral.

St. Paul's cathedral will drop from
seventh to ninth place among the
worlds largest churches when Liver
pool cathedral and the Church of st.
John the Divine in New York are fin
ished,
The others are st. Peters, Rome; Mi
Ian cathedral, Cordova cathedral, Sc
vile cathedral, Cologne cathedral and
York minister.
The height of st. Paurs to the top Of
the cross is 800 feet-forty-s feet
lower than st. Peters, Rome. To the
ridge of the roof is 119 feet, to the
balustrading Of the stone gallery is POP
feet, and to the golden gallery is ex-
actly 100 feet higher.
From purely architectural point of
view, St Paurs is far more beautiful
than St. Peters or, indeed, any italian
cathedral. The dome In particular is
the finest In the world.
The chief fault lies in the fact that
the whole of the exterior is practically
a sham. The inner dome is sixty-five
feet lower than the outer. For half
their height the side walls form no part
Of the cathedral at all, for they only
serve to conceal the difference In alti-
tude between the side aisles and the
central one.-London Opinion.

Mothar of Pearl Work

Wonderful is the work Of the de,
hgner In mother-of-pearl, With tiny
segments Of this iridescent material he
builds up beautiful design bit by bit,
section by section
First, from the cabinetmaker he re-
ceives the woodwork upon which his
design viii be formed. 1t may be the
top of carved chest, a portion of a
stool or table or some dainty knick-
knack to delight a ladys heart.
Then upon the wood he roughly
draws the design and gathers together
the crude pieces with which to form
the mosaic in the wood. Selecting a
piece Of mother Of pearl, he fits it in a
vice, and then with a tiny file he
shapes it to occupy the required space.
Deity he sets the section In the wood.

crevices.
Another piece is then selected, fash
toned and secured. and so day after
day till the piece Is complete The de-
sign is then rubbed with pumice stone
to give enhanced color. varnish is APP
piled. and the finishing touches are
given.

When a man has arrived at the
age Of thirty without evincing the
slightest interest IN the cost Of Nv.

of millinery, he may properly be
called a bachelor. Bachelors are Nof
two kinds-self-made and girl-made.
The first kind is q man who is too
foolish to marry. The second kind ia
produced by women who are too
wise to marry. Owing to the incon.
ceivable observation-disclosures and
medicines of women, the first var.
tety Is by far the more numerous. .
Bachelors live alone as a rule, but
are kept tp a passable state of repair
BY their landladies. : They are very
hardy and will eat almost anything.
II you are In doubt as to whether a
man is a bachelor or not, invite him

q bachelor or a man with peripa-

that he is bachelor from the light

Bachelors are most attractive be-
tween the ages of thirty and forty,
during which time they are in an en-
,cellent state of preservation and are
able to dodge heiresses and chorus

The most wonderful thing about a
Chinese house is the spirit Of peace
which seems to pervade 1t. The court
yards, inclosed by houses which are TN
turn surrounded by high walls, have an
air of security and seclusion which Is
not to be found In our western homes.
Into these peaceful courtyartls the noise
Of the busy world does not penetrate
The triple doors seem to shut out the
storms of the world and its troubles
So says Luther Anderson In his book
on Asia. In the more pretentious houses
some of the eourtyards are transform
ed into miniature landscape gardens.
There are miniature mountains, preci-
pices, lotus ponds, bridges, grottoes and
rustic hooks. The irregular rocks are
so well fitted together and built up
against the sides of the house that they
seem to have been placed there by ma
ture long before the houses were erect
ed. The proportions are 50 carefully
worked out that everything seems to be
larger than 1t really is. And the ar
rangement Is so irregular that nature
is simulated to perfection.
