It is claimed for the Scottish bagpipe that 1t is louder than any other va iiety of instrument. This is probably because It was originally designed to cheer the clausmen when they were fighting. In the hands of skilled per torner the strains of Highland bag pipe carry about six miles, and under specially favorable conditions as far as ten miles. The Duke of Sutherland owns a bagpipe which figured in the battle of Prestonpans, and must there fore be nearly 200 years old, yet 1t can be heard at distance of eight miles, London Globe.

Dewey was Q courageous man, honorarle and true, n patriot and s national hero. A national hero in spi.e of his house. He faced the shells ,,f the eoufederacy and the shells oS the Spaniards and never fliuchad, but he did tlinch before the yells of the mob. Do you re- call that riot, when a large part or the AmLrican people rose to their hiuo legs and cIamOred because he gave to the wife Of his bosom the, S5O,OC0 house which an impulsiYe, admiring public bought for him in Washington City IS a token Of its esteem?
 Dewey, reckoning not merely up on gauautry and affection, but probably upon the safeguarding of the g:t. immediately deeded it to his belpmeet.
 Looking back a little more than Is years from our present adyapced s'ate of civilization it tangles ones imagination to think of staid and able newspapers and magazines con demninI Dewey as an ingrate and a brov for thus anchoring the house iu the family circle. Thousands or what appeared superficially to be sane Americans skinned him with less feeling than they'd drown rat The cIamor reached so near a barn burning stage that Dewey gave up the house and moved into one owned by his wife. It cut him deeply BiiudIy ignorant of his motives the crowd pursued until the poor man confided to friends the fear that he never again could hold his head proudly as an American citizen and national defender. But gradually .hs mob dispersed, sentiment chang eJ, Dewey regaiued his pedestal and again was able to function un- molested and in a big way in gov erumeut affairs.
 It is valuable for us to survey rhcse episodes now and then and take them home to ourselves. The study of our national history is sec ond to none as a means of getting the feet planted upon fundamentals. A square, fair view of affairs IS necessary in all of Ite's attitudes and certainly of political and gov errmeutal subjects. Oliver Crom- well once said to his troops:
 q beseech you, brethren, by the Aeuder mercies of the Lord, that ye conceive it possible that some times even ye might be mistaken -Taeoma News.

BIGGEST WORK IN THE WORLD

The digging of the Panama Canal has been generally regarded as the biggest thing Of the kind yet under taken, necessitating as it did, the excavation of just over 250, 100000 cubic yards of earth and rock. Bu t is estimated that not less than 1,OuO.OOO,OOO cubic yards have beer excayated for British, French and German trenches, extending 75O miles across western France.
 Each of the two main 750-mile- long ditches, the first, second and third line trenches on either side, together with the alternatives" as they are called, are connected one with another by a perfect labyrinth of communication trenches, repre- senting many thousands of miles ot digging and tuneling.
 Entire nations have toiled for long months in order to scar the face of Europe with the immnese ditches,
 Taken collectively, nothing like them or even remotely approaching them has ever before been accom- plished by human agency.

nhisot Lesson In Phonetiea.

The Arabic, which boasts three sep arate sounds resembling the English letter "h," lacks the equivalent of "p;' therefore "p" and "b' are often con- fused. The late venerable pr. Bliss of the Syrian Protestant college once en- tered a classroom where a native teacher was trying in vain to teach q student the difference between "p" and 'b," says the Christian Herald. Dr. Bliss undertook the case. Gathering up some chalk dust In his hand and holding his hand to his lips, he spoke to the stu dent:
 Do you see this dust in my handH When say D do not expel my breath, and the chalk dust stays where it is. But when l say p blow the dust all away" He did. He blew nall over the enughtc~"l youth.

The Ancient Guild of Spectacle Max CTS is numerically one of the strongest London companies. Its charter dates from the year 1929, and, though the exact date of it's origin is lost, there Is ample evidence that the calling of spectacle maker was extensively fol- lowed at a very early date. An old book of 1868 mentions the spectacle makers among other traders, and the biography of Carlo Zeno. an illustrlous Venetian, who died in AIS, mentions that even at the age of eighty-fOur he needed no artificial aids to his sight So presumably spectacles were com mon in Italy five centuries ago.-Lon- don Telegraph.

The July uprising of the Boleshivik
when some 500 men, women and chill
dren were killed in the streets of Pc
trograd during a reign of terror that
lasted three days, was fine instance
of Kerensky's bravery
The first machine gun regiment, for
weeks, had been Boleshiviki. 1t had
demanded that all the power of the
government be turned over to the
council of Workmen and Soldiers.
Time after time the delegates of the
machine gun regiment-which had
some 1900 machine guns and twenty
armored cars, came to Kerensky and
threatened to go into the streets and
make an armed show of power if he
would not agree to surrendering to

of whom had arms in their homes, as

sky held forth and demanded the right

TICK EDICT is LIFTED
North as Well as South Profits
From Release.
Quarantine Against Cattle Fever Is
Raised From Great Section
in the South

! Washington, d. Can order signed
by Secretary of Agriculture D. F..
Houston lifted on December 1 from
! 65,520 square miles in the Southern
states the federal quarantine against
movement of Southern cattle. 1t is
of great Importance to cattle raisers
and dealers of Northern states, as well
as those of the South.
In regions infested by the cattle
tick it has not been held safe to i'm
port better stock for the Improvement
in Southern herds because cattle
freshly brought in from regions where
the tick is not prevalent are espe-
cially prone to sicken and die from
the fever germs carried by the blood
sucking parasite. The federal quar-
antine against the cattle tick, on the
other hand. has prevented the ship
ment of cattle from infested sections
for use as stockers and feeders in free
territory, and permits their shipment
into free territory only under quar-
antine restrictions and for immedi-
ate slaughter.
The release of December / is the
largest amount of territory ever liber-
ated at one time since the federal
against the cattle tick was
started in 1906. and, added to 1924
square miles freed in March and Sep
tember, will make 1917 by far the
greatest year SO far in the annihila-
ton of the tick.
Nine Southern states benefited by |
he release order. The largest benefi-
,iary was Mississippi, which was en-
.irely freed from quarantine and open

James Dickinson. a convalescent
Canadian soldier, in a letter to a
friend. tells this story of the great
war:
During a lull In the battle Of the
Marne one Of the Canadian troopers
took of his steel helmet, and, placing
It on the end Of his rifle, held 1t so
that about half Of 1t protruded above
the top Of the trench. A German
sniper, observing 1t, at once shot at 1t,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel. going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughingly showed
1t to his comrades and placed It back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to "go over the top" and this same
sTommy" was among the first. He was
also among the first to fall, mortally
wounded. - .z...

station that he had been struck by a
