Not the Horse They Pfdyd For.

The nuns of a certain charitable ih stitution in Calcutta had bus horse that had done nplch useful service. In course of time the horse died, much to the grief of the good ladies whom he had served so faithfully and we'll The providing of successor was the next problem, and, as funds were short the nuns decided to resort to prayer, They prayed long and earnestly and one morning they discovered Q horse grazing on the lawn. They were firm ly convinced that their prayers had been answered; the horse was taker to the stable and harnessed to the bus. A few days later the lnstitu- ton was visited by prominent citizen, the owner of n1mber of race horses and supporter of charity. He claimed the bus horse as one of his racers in spite of the protest of the nuns that lt had been sent to them in response to their earnest prayers. He was good enough, however, to give them reas bus horse to replace the horse that he lad claimed.

Garule From Sage.

A simple and efiicacious gargle is made from sage. Put thirty leaves into jug, pour on them pint of boiling water, cover closely and ,infuse for. half an hour, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and two of honey; stir to mix, then strain and bottle. It should be used several times a day and will generally give relief. The ingredients are harmless and safe for children, as if little is swallowed by chance no harm is done.

BANTAMS MAY FIGHT.

The "bantams", after all, are to be given a chance to light for their country. Surgeon General Gorgas has advised that the height limit for army candidates be lowered, and the war department has so ordered Formerly the minimum height was five feet four inches and the minimum weight 120 pounds. Now men are to be accepted as low as five feet one inch and weighing 11C pounds.
 The change will meet with approv- al. The old rule was based on mili- tary tradition rather than the facts of present day warfale. The Japan csc war proved, once for all, that little men can fight with modern weapons as well as big men-the diminutive Japs licked the giant Russians in nearly every engage ment. The present war has demon strated that the "bantams" at least suffer no disadvantage because of their size.
 They have some real advantages, aside from the reputoi fighting spir- 1t of the small man. They take up less room in the trenches. and they offer less conspicuous targets for bullets. A little man can, of course, shoot a rifle or machine gun or cannon as we'll as a giant, and drive an air. plane better.
 This letting down tt the bars Will greatly increase the number of men eligible.

HARDEN MUZZLED.

The bravest and noblest voice in Germany has been silenced. Maxi milan Harden, the brilliant editor of zukunft, has been ordered by inn perial decree to write no more during the war. His pen, the pen of genius surpassing in power and inspiration any other in the German empire to- day, is to be used unly in compil ing accounts. He is made a military clerk.
 When such man is muzzled the world may we'll question the sincer- ity of any program oi political, social or military reform rut forward by the German government. One such act bellies thousand promises.
 It was Harden wEo warned the German government, time and time again, that it's treatment of the Unit ed States would drag this country into the war He labored indefatga. bly to interpret America to Germany. He perceived the good faith of Pres ident Wilson when the whole Prus- sian press was heaping obloquy upon him, and upheld Mr. Wilson as a mouthpiece of world democracy and a true friend of the German nation. He fought the u-boat ruthlessness with all his might. lie criticised the governments military methods. its hlundering foreign pulley, it's refusal to liberaltize the political system. He warned the jingoes ai:ainst conquest.
 He called upon his fellow-country- men to make their own house hab- itable, and mot an eyesore to the world" He preached return to the higher spiritual values that had an imated the older Grrany-the Ger many which intelligent Americans still revere and love He criticised recent peace talk as insincere and meaningless. He finally demanded that the people themselves should have a voice in the choice of war or Deace. instead of leaving the fate of the nation to one nan.
 That was too much. The "one man reached out his hand and stopped 9Iarden's mouth. just as he stopped Liebnecht's two vars ago.
 "How long?" Haraen was accus' tomed to ask. in his eloquent philip ptcs. How long. will the German na tid6scontinls to enh''se such tyranny ns without protest. and totter on plindi' to its own ruin!
