An Aztec Grain.

At the time Of the Spanish conquest,
an ivory grain, finer than mustard
seed, was made into paste for molding
into religious idols and was an impOr-
tant food in these times of scarcity of
maize. This grain, known to the Az
tees as "huauhtli," was among the trib-
utes paid by the puebios to Mon.
tezuma The botanical identity Of the
seed was long unknown. but the col
lection Of DR.. Edward Palmer in the
states of Sincola and Palisco included
fish-egglil5e seeds Of an amarnnthus.
The plant was found both wild and un-
der cultivation, paste of the seed and
sugar being sold under the name Of
"suale." DR.. w. +. Stafford of the
department of agriculture has recog-
nized in these specimens the sacred
"huauhtli" of Montezuma's time, and
suggests that this amaranthus might
be cultivated in favorable situations.
Closely allied plants are cultivated in
India, Tibet, South America and At
RIGA as grain crops.

jOFFRE'S VALET DID WELL
Amassed Fortune Of $4,000 Francs
While on American Tour With
the Noted Marshal.

When Marshal Joffre went to the
United States he took with him a
body servant who was to act as his
valet. The man formerly had served
in the family and there was nothing
said about what pay he was to receive
until the journey was over, when the
marshal asked him what he owed him.
II couldn't ask for any pay in view
of the petite fortune that I have
brought back with me-"
@'What little fortune?" asked the
marshal. "You haven't been speculat-
ing1'
"Mais non, monsieur de Marechal,
but there were times when could be
of service. People who wanted auto
graphs, and those who wanted to see
the chambers occupied by monsieur lie
Marechal, and those who sent notes
and messages"
II understand" said the marshal.
''but, If I may ask, how much did you
bring back?"
"Eh, hen, Monsieur lie Marechal,
about 25,oOO francs"
1t is Nine. Joffre who has let the
story out. She has told it to some of
her acquaintance in the American
colony in Paris, who repeat her assur-
ances>that it is perfectly true.-Brook-

Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 women were
rare in military hospitals. Today, ex-
cept for the doctors and the patients.
the military hospital is almost nun
merry.
This is one of the chief revolutions
wrought by modern warfare. The men
who used to act as orderlies are re-
CURED for the fighting line. But some
thing more than this. The women who
took their places do the work infinite
ly better.
In the Third London General hos
pitaI at Wandsworth you find some
thing like 500 women attending to the
needs of 1000 wounded men. This
number includes $50 trained nurses,
1877 robationers, 123 scrubbers, so Or
derlies. 3S clerks. 10 mattresses, 6 mas
senrs and 5 cooks.
The presence Of women in a mill
tary hospital has Il psychological value.

many, the government is moving with solemn haste. In war there is no sen timent. To sustain the democratic idea of government, the United States pro- ceeds on the Biblical story of the grass that springs up, flourishes at the noon hour, and is cut down.
 When young Stewart, out of the mer- riment of commencement was grad uated with the rank of second lieuten- ant, he entered upon a rest of one month.
 - Everywhere the idea obtained that these young men, theoretically perfect, but from the standpoint of actual ex- perience, in many respects, imperfect, would be utilized in training the raw re- cruts who will compose the national army following conscription.
 So strongly did that idea obtain that mothers rejoicing in the restoration of their sons and anxious that they be maintained near home, expressed hope that in making assignments, the gov ernment would select posts of easy ac- cess.
 Instead, to all these boys as to young Stewart, stern orders soon came. They were to report to various regiments of the standing army. In a week, they were on the breast of the ocean; in another week, on the shores of France.

 SIDESTEPS GERMANY IN FEAR OF JAPAN
(By Review Leased Wire,

PEROGRAD, Feb. 17. (via London) the fact that the United States is not at war with Germany after the lapse of a fortnight since the break ing of of diplomatic relations, is the subject of lengthy comment in the Bourse Gazette. Citing the sinking of the American schooner Lynn M Law and the British steamer California. the paper says:
 "The only new factor that might bring war would be an armed collision on the sea, but since such collision is precluded by the failure of the Ameri- can government to authorize the arm- ing of merchant ships. it is impossible to imagine that further provaoation for wcr can arise. It is further realiZ- ed that before passing to a state of actual hostilities she must first guar antee her interests in the Pacific" The writer mentions alleged diplo-
