IN WORLDS GREATEST CHOIR
Organization in Russian Monastery
Made Up of Monks Who Are
Trained Like Opera Singers.

In many departments Russia has
proved herself the greatest of all
countries. Her dancers are the worlds
finest dancers, her novelists are the
worlds finest novelistA her Cossacks-
ask the Austrians-are the worlds
finest fighters.
She also possesses the worlds finest
choir, declares writer in London Tit
Bits. This is in the cathedral of AL
exander Nevski, in Petrograd, and Is
attached to a convent erected In honor
of the patron saint of Russia. 1t con-
sists of about thirty members, all
monks, chosen from the best singers In
all the Russian monasteries. Their
voices are amazingly sweet and strong,
and every member of the choir can,
1t is said, shatter an ordinary glass
into fragments merely by singing into
it, so powerful are the vibrations Of
each voice.
These monks are trained as rigorous
ly as any opera singer, and their whole
duty at the monastery is to assist with
the music at mass in the morning and
vespers in the afternoon. When too
old for service they are retired on pen
sions.
Unlike most monks, they are ex-
tremely fastidious about their appear
ance, and every night put up their hair
and whiskers In papers.

The Omnipresent Weeds.

Weeds are natures makeshift. She
rejoices In the grass and the grain, but
when these fail to cover her nakedness
she resorts to weeds. 1t Is her plan or
part of her economy to keep the
ground constantly covered with vege-
tation Of some sort, and she has layer
upon layer Of seeds In the soil for this
purpose, and the wonder is that each
kind lies dormant until 1t is wanted.
If l uncover the earth In any of my
fields ragweed and pigweed spring up ;
If these are destroyed harvest grass, or
quack grass, or purslane appears. The
spade or the pillow that turns these
under Is sure to turn up some other
variety, as chickweed, sheep sorrel, or
goOse-foot. The soil Is storehouse of
seeds.--John Burroughs.

Uniforms of 1912 Elaborate.

During the war of 1872 several types
Of uniform were worn by the Ameri.
can forces. There was little left to
remind one Of the Revolutionary war
Instead of the long cutaway, enlisted
men wore single-breasted, close-but'
toned coats, with the skirts fashioned
after the civilian dress coat of today
Faclngs disappeared and the collars
became enormously high, rising to the
tip of the ear. Hats were high, some
infantry wearing headpieces much like
those worn by the cabmen of the days
just preceding the taxicab. The Off
GERS Of the line and the men wore coats
of the same form, but the trimming
was white tape or silver lace.

THURSDAY. AUGUST l6 1917

The announcement by the govern
ment that more than 1000 men OF
the selective draft forces will BE- called
to the colors on September 5 and go
into training at the divisional canton
ments brings the date very close when
the first incremsnt Of citizens chosen
by lot under the principle OF universal
military liability must cast of the gsrb
of civilians and assume the khaki OF
soldiers. With the addition Of these
100000 men to the forces already in
arms and in training, the United
States fighting forces will number
million men. This figure includes the
regular army and the National Guard,
which has already been mustered into
the Federal service and has lost its old
identity. This million men, it may be
assumed, will, within six months at
the outside, be fighting in the allied
line-unless, of course, the war ends
in the meantime, which is not safe
contingency TO figure on. A considera-
BILE portion, but probably under a hun
dred thousand, Of this first million
American fighting men, are already in
France under General Pershing and
will, no doubt, soon be heard from in
action.
Whether the approximately ten NIL
lion men registered under the selective
draft law will furnish all the lighters
from this country required on the Eur
opean battledelds is conjectural, de
pending on many contingencies, such
as the length Of the war, our own loss
es and those Of our allies, the rejuyen-
alton or collapse OF Russia, and many
other conditions at the scene OF action.
II will depend In no less measure on
conditions here also. II large per
centage Of those registered escape a
call 10 the colors, through failure TO
pass the physical examination, or
through exemption for any reason, II
may be, and it is probable that IL will
be, necessary to amend the registration
law, lowering the minimum and ex
tending the maximum age limits, so
that men under p and over 81 will be
subject to draft.
OF one thing we may be certain
The United States having been drawn
into this war, viii not Withdraw. We
shall see Il through, be the cost what
it may. II ten million young men be-
tween q and 81 cannot supply enough
troops, their fathers and younger
brothers will have to meet the delicien-
cy. This is a contingency which the
patriotic public, as well as the slackers
pacihsts and copperheads, may well
take note OF. Evasion Of military duty
by one man viii simply throw his duty
upon The shoulders OF another The
average Stacker may not be concerned
about that, so long as he saves his own
skin, but when the general public fully
understands that every Stacker means
simply thas another man must be call

WRITTEN MUSIC Is NOT NEW
Custom of Preserving Melodies in
Tangible Form Was First OBJ
served by the Greeks.

There were a great many steps in
the development of the present form
of writing music. The custom of writ
ing melodies rather than trusting TO
the uncertain help of memory for their
preservation was first observed by the
Greeks. Indeed, at one time, the pre-
serving of music in a tangible, visible
form was deemed so necessary as TO
he the subject of special papal bull.
The writing out of music was ac-
complished by the use of many differ
ent sets of signs and symbols, in the
various countries. Nothing really
definite and lasting. though, was done
in this direction until the fifteenth cen
fury, when the first real printing of
melodies and harmOnies was accom-
plished in Germany. This was made
possible by the invention of the NOV
able metal types.
The prints thus produced were re-
markably clear and neat ut first, but
they later became gradually more and
more imperfect, which degeneration
finally led to the invention of copper
plate printing in 1882, by Simon We
rovio, an Italian.-New York Globe.

ISN'T 1T A cRINEs

To put up the cost OF wool when
women are using so much of it to knit
warm garments for war purposes is
little short Of crime.
Many women pay for their own
wool for knitting, and cannot afford
10 give dollar hank for it. To be
sure. the Red Cross in some places
furnishes the wool for kRitters for
soldiers and sailors, and this is the
case in Annapolis, but there are
many women who prefer to knit for
brothers, husbands and relatives at
the front and must furnish their own
knitting material, which is priced any
where from 70 cents a hank to 95
cents and one dollar hank.
The price OF wool, it is said, has
been put up because there is such a
demand for it, for colored wool to
knit pink. blue, purple and yellow
sweaters for themselves.
Many of these girls and women
have been taught to knit by the Red
Cross, and then use their knowledge
20 knit for themselves.
II should be disgrace in these war
times for any woman to be seen knit
ing any other color than gray, navy
blue or khaki, all for use Of the sol
diers and sailors, and Maryland
women should go on record to make
it so.

HOUSE cEaTlPEDE NEW PET
Is Quiet, DociIe and Friendly With the
Children and Is Declared to Be
Death on Bugs.

A family thinks II has modified its
home protective forces TO the full when
1T has set up a watchdog. cat. a
canary. a rubber plant, war garden
and a fly swatter. These are all very
well as far as they go, says the New
York Tribune, but the world has been
moving swiftly. and the most progress
sive and efficient households now have
added the house centipede-vulgarly
called the acknowledged worm
to their forces. We learn from a re-
cent monograph on insects that:
IAN examination Of the head of the
centipede will reveal a pair of strong
jaws that are used against enemies
and for the purpose of capturing small
insects for food. 1t considers the fly
a great delicacy, and, besides this. it
eats fleas. mosquitoes, moths, reaches
and other small household pests. II
hunts its food mostly at night. The
house centipede has seldom been
known TO bite persen. and if, in self
defense, it should pinch the baby's
finger or toe, the swelling produced, if
any, could quickly be alleviated by an
application of ammonia"
In the light of these recommends
tons who can afford to be without
one of these admirable beasts? 1t is
noiseless, of excellent though noctur-
nal habits-a night Waterman, as it
were-and its upkeep cost is practi-
caIly nothing. In the event that 1t
ribs the house completely of all the
pests enumerated-particularly the
land others"-the grateful household
er should be willing to pension it on
small bits of meat or whatever its
system Graves. 1t should be taken in
