Eternal Vigilance.

Walk through the fields or along the
edge of the woods, however, quietly,
and the insects in the grass, the min
nows In the stream, the mice amid the
fallen leaves, the chipmunks in the
stone wall, the birds and squirrels in
the trees, skurry away or shrink into
hiding until you pass. If you go nols-
lily the panic will be greater and more
widespread. Field-naturalists and ang.
lers know that only when they keep
quiet and m~otionless can animal life be
seer and studied effectively.
These facts do not imply any special
fear of man, as man they simply show
the feeling in every animals mind that
everything alive, and especially every
thing larger than itself, is to be feared
and avoided until it Is known to be
harmless or is safely escaped.

Economy Is Political.

In it's broadest sense economy is po-
liticai. That does not meal that it's
entirely a matter of politics. 1t
that it concerns the whole people. 1t
has to do with production, distribution
and consumption. 1t aims at the in
rease of wealth, the supplying of hui
man wants and the regulating of the
service of u fellow men. To become
proficient you must learn to observe
the facts and act as experience die
tates. You must expect to be puzzled
frequently. Yes, you will eve meet
with reverses. But in the end the
sum of your benefits will overbalance
your losses if you are a real economist.
The n who by good judgment and
industry makes the best use of what he
has is the one that will forge ahead.
Others will follow in the order of al
legiance to these principles.-Grit.

CLEANING Rifle Barrels,

The best way to clean the barrel of
a rife is to get a "pull-through." This
is a piece of cord which will pass
through the barrel, with a weight at
one end, and two loops at the other.
In the loop nearer the weighted end
place a piece of oily rag, and draw
this through the rife barrel until it is
clean. This is the method used in
the army. The following are two easy
methods of cleaning guns and rifles :
If a muzzle-loader, stop up the nipple
or communication hole with a little
wax; or, if a breach-loader, insert a
corr in the breech rather tightly next
pour some quicksilver into the bar
rel, and put another cork in the muz-
zle; then proceed to roll it up and
down the barrel, shaking it about for
q few minutes. The mercury and the
lead will form an amalgam, and leave
the barrel as clean and free from lead
as the first day it came out of the
shop. The same quicksilver can be
used repeatedly by straining 1t
through wash leather; for the lead
will be left behind in the leather, and
the quicksilver will be again fit for
use.

Nine. Joffre.

All Parisians are familiar with the
small mansion occupied by Marshal
and Nine. Joffre at Passy, Rue Michel
Ange. The couple lived there in per-
feet harmony. Thanks to the radiat-
ing kindness of Nine. Joffre, her hus-
band always found in their home
regularity, rest, relaxation, JOY, says
the Bookman. Like most French
wives, Nine. JOffre is animated, cheer
full, modest, industrious, possessed of
a sober elegance and III affection for
her home which makes her put it
above everything else. In the midst
of celebrity she has always Stunned
notoriety; and she sought refuge from
the tributes won by her excellent
heart and illustrious name in work, in
the peaceful seclusiOn of the family.
1t is said that the dream of the couple
is to buy, after the war is over, a mo-
tor houseboat, and thus to cruise
anonymously along the rivers of their
beloved France to which the marshal
will have been the first to give the
assurance of victory.

many comic sights to be seen in a sur
burban bungalow is a pyre of bits of
packing-case, small branches of trees,
scraps of timber left by the builder
and such combustible whatnot touched
off solemnly to show a helpless week
ender what a real open fireplace is
like.
Those who must burn wood to keep
warm don't do it so foollshly. A box
stove of the old kind, that will hold
chunks two feet long, that has no

redly about the fuel still burning, that
roars in a CHEEKY ~crescendo as the
winds mount outside, is the proper
caper.
Throw open the swinging door. Was

embers, pulsing with the breath of the
fire? A steak would and does broil

before it, and comes out toast. Pota-

tea water bOils as if by magic. A
thing of comfort that old box stove.

modate one of those nice pictures of a

- ENIRAL Russia, with MOS
COW, the ancient capital, as its
focal point, is at nee the
richest and the most thickly
populated part of the country.
This region contains IS governments,
covering an area of 100000 square
miles-less than one-half of the area
of the Petrograd district, but with
more than twice the population, viz,
45,000,000. As might be expected, says
n writer in the magazine, Russia, the
large towns are both larger and more
numerous than elsewhere in Russia.
Moscow had in 1912 a population of
1,617 900. Railway communications
are, for Russia, relatively well devel-
oped here and to the south.
As a place of business Moscow occu-
pies a unique position. The interests
located there control and serve the
enormou area of which the city forms
literally the geographical center, in all
matters of supply and demand for u
mainly agricultural country and it is
through the Moscow merchants and
agency houses that foreign imports
are brought most directly before the
consumers. With characteristic enter
prise, the Moscow merchants have also
organized and may be said to control
the Siberian trade. Many of the most
successful of her citizens are Siberian
born, who find it desirable to live in
Moscow to direct the financing and the
purchasing end of their business opera
tons.
Manufacturers Are Powerful.
Finally, industrial Russia may be
said to center in this city, where the

Russia.
The dissimilarity of the P~etrograd

and Moscow markets is marked.
Broadly, Petrograd disposes of a higher
class of article at corresponding prices.
MOscow's clients belong mainly to the
peasant classic the inhabitants of
the rural towns, whose wants are re-
strlcted, if not primitive, and who are
in the stage when new wants and
habits are forming. This does not
necessarily lessen the range and va
riety of the articles desired-rather
the contrary. But the attractiveness
of the articles, rather than the quality,
appeals, and cheapness is an all-deter-
mining factor. This attitude was clev-
erly grasped and exploited by the Ger
man trader, and in this connection,
nowhere else so much as in Moscow is
the evidence of German adaptability,
and of German trade penetration of
Russia more apparent. MosCow's
stores were full of German goods.
Large numbers of these stores were
obviously German, while the represent
atives of German houses in the dis
trict must have been numbered by
thousands. In Moscow's best depart
ment store, the largest in Russia,
which was founded by Scotsmen in the
forties of the last century, and is still
conducted under British management,
probably 60 per ent of the foreign
goods on sale have been of German
manufacture. The range of retail
prices paid, and the quality which sat
isles even the good class in Moscow,
are distinctly lower than in the better
class trade of Petrograd.
Center of the Fur Trade.
Moscow is the chief fur center for
Russia, and there is a tendency
