CamouHaqe.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic, reserve
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouf1age. 1t is the story of two
young people on the eve of the hus-
bands going to battle.
For the benefit of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
flage means, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as thin veil drawn over great
events.
There are endless varieties of
Camoufage, and endless uses to which
it may be put. 4 great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
Il hedge of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fiage. An observation point hidden in
the heart of a haystack-camoufia
A mighty gun masked by an awning
of fishermen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves-camouflage. A corpse
brought in from nO-man's land and re-
placed by q live man, who watches
what is toward in the Hun trenches
again camoudage. But, perhaps. the
subt1est variety Of all is the kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"

Dust Clouds Retray Fighters.

In locating an enemy dust clouds
are often excellent indications. A low,
thick cloud indicates infantry, high
and thin cloud indicates cavalry, while
a broken cloud indicates artillery or
wagon trains. An experienced scout
can closely estimate the character and
strength of an enemy solely by the
dust cloud.
An airplane, to be perfectly safe,
must keep at an elevation of at least
1000 feet above the ground.
Although the telegraph and tele-
phone have become generally used in
battle for purposes Of communication,
for distances under half a mile the
old-fashioned courier and horse is still
exclusively used. 1t has been found
Il swifter and surer means of COM
lnunication for short distances than
either the telephone or the telegraph.

Storage Eggs.

The assertion by dealers that after
all there is nothing injurious about a
storage first egg-in fact, it is as good
as q fresh egg" is not borne out by
so good an authority as DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, who. when questioned on the
stand in Washington on the subject of
eggs that had been in storage six
months, said:
The amount of nutriment would
probably be diminished by very con-
siderable quantity. 1t would be just
slightly less nutritious, but the princi-
pal lack of nutrition, in my opinion,
would be in the impaired taste; that
the digestive ferments would not re-
spond so promptly to the stimulus of
the food That is a very important
consideration"

The Third Cross.

The message from the third cross
speaks of the insanity of sin. There
is a story told of a young man who
had committed crime for which he
was tried and found guilty and SEN
fenced to penitentiary. After he had
been placed in the prison, his mother,
at the expense of great deal of time
and care, and with many tears, finally
succeeded in securing for him pardon
from the governor of the state. With
joyous heart. feeling well repaid for
the long weeks of ceaseiesS effort, she
went to the penitentiary bearing the
precious pardon which would libersNe
her boy. When at last she stood in
his presence with tears of joy in her
eyes, she handed to her boy his par
don. Instead of being grateful and in
stead of accepting and making use
of the pardon, the boy deliberately
tore it into pieces. throwing it upon
the floor. and stamped upon it with
disdain. 1t is thus that the sinner who
rejects Gods prOffered salvation treats
what God has to offer. It is the in
sanity of sin leading on to suicide of
the soul. All one has to do to commit
soul suicide is to reject the provision
made by God upon the middle cross.

OF all American nicknames the
most famous is "Stonewall." Not
mere than one person in ten knows

body calls him by either of them. It

A Ground-hog Mix Up

Suppose two ground-hogs should
emerge
From holes at different hours today,
And one beheld upon the verge
OF his retreat the sunlight gay,
While t'other, meath a passing cloud,
Should see no shadow of his form.
Would there be six weeks more Of
storm
And bitter cold. or would the loud,
Keen blast of winter soon give way
To gentle springs ethereal sway?
Or would there be a weird combine
OF zero snaps and zephyrs fine?
The grounding that with fear would
shake
At his own shadow in the sun
And then in reckless terror run,
We think might very likely make
A weather prophet good as those
Who daily deal us out dose
OF meteorologic fake.
