The Monroe Doctrine,

President Monroe in his seventh an- nual message Oec. 2, 1923 laid down the principle of what has since been known as the Monroe doctrine" thus: ::
 "We owe it to candor and to the ami cable relations existing between the United States and those (great Euro pean) powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependen- cies of any European power we have not interfered and shall not interfere. but with the governments who have de- clarcd their independence and maintain ed 1t and whose independence we have on great consideration and on just prin- ciples acknowledged we would not view any interposition for the purpose of expressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States"

Henry C. Prick on Success.

"The secret of my success?" said Henry c. Trick. There is no secret about success. Success simply calls for hard work, devotion to your business at all times, day and night. I was very poor, and my education was limited, but I worked very hard and always sought opportunities.
 ITO win in the battle of life man needs, in addition to whatever ability he possesses, courage, tenacity and de- liberation. He must learn never to lose his head.
 "But, above all, hard work is the thing. For six years, from 1889 to 1895, when first took hold of the Car negie steel business, I did not have q days vacation. I reached the office every morning between and s and did not leave until 6. My example had an influence upon the others. Carnegie often remarked to me, You do get work out of those men, They worked be- cause they saw that IT was then the chairman of the company-worked."- d."- B. 0. Forbes in Leslie's.

Austria's Royal Family.

The Hapsburgs, or Habsburgs, of the royal house of Austria derive their name from the castle of Habichts- burg, or Hawk castle, in the Swiss canton of Aargau. In the twelfth cen tury the family became one of the most powerful in Swabia. Rudolf III. was elected emperor of Austria in the following century. While thus extend ing their possessions and acquiring in- f1uence, the Hapsburgs lost their orig inal family possessions, which were gradually absorbed by the cantons. Some thirty-fve years ago the Aus trians proposed to purchase the castle of Hapsburg and give it as wedding gift to the crown prince of Austria, but the people of Aargau refused to hear of the sale.

The Original Macaroni.

Macaroni, which is now being strong ly recommended as a cheap and sus- taining food, Is not at all what its name implies, for maccheroni, as Ital- fans spell it, means a mixture, and at first was one, the ingredients being macaroni is the name for the ia miliar tubes which are compounded of hard Italian wheat and water alone. It was therefore from the original meaning of the word that macaroni poetry, in which Latin is blended with vernacular, derived its name.-Lon- don Chronicle

Our Going to School Record.

The latest report of the United States bureau of education shows that one American in every four (25 per cent of the entire population of the country) is pursuing educational studies at schools of some kind or other. Germany, whose system has always been highly praised. falls below this figure, with about 20 per cent of it's population in school. Great Britain has 19 per cent. France IT, Russia only little more than 4.
 The result is slightly less favorable to the United States if daily attendance and the actual length of schooling are taken into consideration, but it is high ly gratifying that we should lead in numbers alone.

French Fias.

The fig tree ill southern France is now cultivated almost exclusively for the production of the fresh fruit, which has always ready sale in the large centers. The drying of figs has been practically abandoned in this region, except for the personal requirements of small number of growers. More over. the country's production is not equal to the domestic demand.

Lead Pencils,

The lead pencil has history extend- ing over several hundred years, for 1t is claimed that manuscript of The ophilus, attributed to the thirteenth
 century, shows evidence of having been ruled with a black lead pencil, and an article of Conrad Gesner of Zurich in the sixteenth century dis tinctly mentions an article for writ ing made of wood and piece of lead.

Shed Their Shoes.

On entering Japanese moving pie ture theater shoes and clogs are re moved, attendants hanging them on pegs in the wall. Thus the begged wall becomes an adding machine for the manager of the theater. If he ever has any doubt as to the honesty of the box office he simply takes a cen sus of the clogs on the lobby wall and compares the total with the number of tickets turned in, of course allowing two clogs for each ticket.

Feeling the Moons Pulse.

That the moon is not the rigid solid body that has been believed, but that 1t is subject to periodic pulsatiOns, is the discovery recently set forth by the astronomer P. Puiseux before the French Academy of Sciences. It would be impossible to describe here the elaborate method by which he ascer- tained this fact. Sufficient to say that his discovery is based upon a study of photographs of the on taken at the Paris observatory from 1894 to 1909.

malls, the monotremes, are confined to Australia. There is the platypus, a strange beast which lays eggs like a turtle, but suckles its young, has horny pads for teeth and bill like the duck. It's front feet are webbed, and both back and front feet have claws. Little wonder that he has received many names or that his scientific designation is Ornithorhynchus paradoxus.-Nation- al Geographic Magazine.

IS
SHOT AT DAWN

PARIS, Oct. 15.-Mati-Hari. the
Dutch dancer and adventures, who
two months ago was found guilty by
court martial on the charge of espion-
age was shot at dawn this morning.
Melle Mata-Hari, long known in
Europe as woman of great attract
iveness and with a romantic history,
was, according to unofficial press dis
patches, accused of conveying to the
Germans the secret of the construc-
ton of the entente tanks" this re-
sulting in the enemy rushing work on
a special gas to combat their opera
tons
She was said to have left Paris last
spring and to have spent some time in
the English town where the first
tanks" were being made. afterward
travelling back and forth between Eng
land and Holland and later going to
Spain where she aroused suspicion by
associating with a man whom the
French secret service long suspected.
When she reappeared in Paris, she
was arrested, a contributing circum-
stance, it appears, being the fact that
she was seen there with a young Brit
ish officer attached to the tanks
service.
Her conviction was confirmed by a
revision court and on Sept 2S, the Su-
preme court confirmed the previous
findings.
