Ing the wounded Of her own race.
II has been found that many pris-
oners, wounded or otherwise. who are
captured. have received instructions
regarding answers which they should
make 20 their captors. Among the
lower classes Of the Germans there Is
widespread belief that their cap
ture By the British will be rewarded
with fortunes.
One OF the most interesting stories
which | heard about Prussian pride
was related 10 me by British colonel.
He snid that a Prusslan officer had
been captured, and. preparatory to his
being sent 10 a regular camp with 9th
ers. was invited 10 share the mess
quarters with several British oThcers.
He refused 10 sit down with them at
the table. Later. he complained that
he should have fitting quarters In
which 10 sleep. In the meantime one
" the British officers had voluntarily
given up his bed to the man and in
tended spending the night on some
on the floor.
When this incident became known

Honey in Jewish History.

The numerous references to honey
In the Bible ara due to its being the
common sweetener of the people !:
and to this day the Jews. who are fine
old crusty conservatives, use honey in
cooking where other people use sugar.
Still, 1T had certain distinction, and
was used as the symbol of fruitfulness
and plenty. When Jeroboam's wife
wished to propitiate the prophet she
took him ten loaves. two cakes and a
cruise of honey. When Jesus reap
pesred to his disciples they tested his
reality by giving him piece of broiled
fish and some honeycomb to eat. AS
for John the Baptist 1t is known to all
that his common food consisted of
locusts and wild honey.

THESE SHOES WEAR rs YEARS
They Are Made of Grass and Are Still
Worn by Natives in Parts of
Portugal and Spain.

Esparto shoes, or shoes made of the
toughest and strongest of the coarse
esparto fibers, are still worn in Iberia
and parts Of Portugal. There is no
shoe made which will outlast them, not
excepting leather shoes. Indeed, one
pair Of esparto shoes has been known
to outwear dozen tanned hide soles.
This is due to their faculty of picking
up and retaining in their interstices
stony particles. AS fast as the pebbles
are worn out they are replaced auto
matically by others. Thus a self-soling
process is constantly going on. 1t is
not uncommon In some parts of Spain
or Portugal to hear the natives boast
of wearing a pair Of esparto shoes for
% years or more.
