ASSIST is REMARKABLE CITY
Shows How Influence of One Man
With an Idea Can Persist Through
the Centuries.

A remarkable city is Assist, show
an idea can persist down the changing
centuries. 1t is seven hundred years
and more since st. Francis lived and
died here, and yet today Assist is lit
tie besides the city of st. Francis. His
name lends it whatever fame and i'm
portance it may have, and something
of his kindly spirit seems to hang
about it still.
Assist is a bare little Italian hill
town, built of dull stone, with narrow,
winding rocky streets, looking out over
one of the fairest prospects in all
Italy. Here st. Francis was born of
rich parents, here he led an idle,
spendthrift youth, and here he was
suddenly seized with the idea of uni
versal brotherhood and the necessity
for poverty. Here he founded the
Franciscan order, praying that its dis
tinctive sign might be 'never to pos
sess anything under the sun and to
have no means of living save by beg
ging.'
He carried out his rule in strictest
practice, living in hut of reeds built
where now stands the church of st.
Mary of the Angels. He felt a great
love for all things created, so that he
hailed the sun as his brother and
preached to the fishes. All Of these in
cidents in his career and many 9th
ers are set forth in noble frescoes by
Giotto in the Franciscan church at
| Assist.
In Assist, too, is the tomb of St
Francis, in little chapel of the Fran.
ciscan monastery. The tomb is sur
rounded by beautiful marbles and rich
work in beaten bronze. The world
has loved st. Francis, but apparent
ly it has never understood him. Else
it would not in all reverence have
surrounded his vault with the rict
luxury of beauty against which his
whole life and all his teachings were
but one great protest.

"Now We'd Better Have Some Sup.

winter is certainly the time Of the year
we enjoy the most" continued Mrs.
Muskrat.
81 never can understand" said Mr..
Muskrat, "why it is so many creatures
go to sleep for the whole winter

do they?" asked Mrs. Muskrat.
"a great many do" answered Mr..
Muskrat.
''Do tell me their names, for would
like to know what creatures are fool
ish enough for that"
''WeI," sad Mr.. Muslrat, clearing
his throat, there are the snakes, toads,
frogs, turtles, wOodchucks, prairie
dogs, ants and a number of Others"
"GraciOus =" exclaimed Mrs. Musk
rat. "They waste the best time of the
year."
1.-THE bears go to sleep most of the
winter" said Mr.. Muskrat. "Some-
times when it is a little bit warm in
the winter months they come out for
time and look at the world, but for
the most part they are asleep. They
eat very large meals before it is time
to go to sleep, so they will not be hun
CRY all the winter"
'"They show a little more sense by
coming out once in awhile" said Mrs
| MuSkrat.
''The racoons do the same" cOntin-

warmer"
81 simply cannot understand it," said
Mrs Muskrat. ''When see how the

1.-THE whole world hasn't fur like

Then Mr.. Muskrat began to build I
new home with long sticks, closing VI
| his hole after he had finished. Mrs
Muskrat helped him, burrowing unde
! the snow in the bank. They worked
until their home was quite finished
squealing all the time to each other.
They were very happy and devote'
to one another and they kept praisin:
each other.

They had sweet grass which the

CoIors of the Rainbow.

The colors of the rainbow vary ac-
cording to their size, and the size diff
fers according to the bigness of the
raindrops. Large drops produce mar
row rainbows and bright, clearly de-
fined colors. The colors are general
Iy as follows: When the raindrops are
in the average one millimeter in diam
eter we see a violet, pale blue, blush
green, green, yellow, orange, pale red
and deep red rainbow; when the drops
average three-tenths millimeter, the
rainbow is violet, pale blue, blush
green, green, yellow and orange. Drops
of one-tenth millirneter produce the
succession Of very pale violet, vio-
let, whitish blue, whitish green, blush
yellow and pale yellow. Drops of one
twentieth millimeter fOg) give white
tinted with violet, very vivid white,
white tinted with yellow and very
pale yellow.

Rats Sworn Enemies of Birds.

The number Of useful insect-eating
birds nesting on the ground or in low
bushes which fall victims to rats is eX-
tremely large and is one of the many
kinds of injury done by these perni-
cious animals which cannot be comput-
ed, E. w. Nelson writes in the Nation
al Geographic Magazine. Probably
few frequenters of the countryside
have returned to look into birds nest
to observe it's condition without many
times finding it destroyed and frag-
ments of egg shells lying about. I'm
questionably a large percentage of
such nests located in the neighborhood
of buildings have been raided by rats.
On one of the small Danish islands
it has been authentically recorded that
the progeny of a single pair of rats,
which escaped from captivity, in two
years eXterminated a great colony of
birds for which the island has been
noted.

CITY Is YELLED IN SMOKE
In Manchester, Industrial Heart OF
England, Flaming Furnaces Roar
Night and Day.

Manchester is the industrial heart
of England, the heart of the black,
smoky North, which is to the pleas
ant London south like a foreign land
Under its veil of fog and smoke, the
flaming furnaces of Manchester roar
night and day, turning out steel and
shells. The Manchester district is
more impressive than anything of the
kind America can show, because it is
more concentrated. 1t is as If nine
tenths of the American steel business
were gathered into single Pennsyl-
vania county.
Baedeker says that on a clear day
you can see 600 giant factory stacks
at one time from a hill near Manches-
ter. This statement has long been
| suspected as the solitary bit of humor
in the 81 ponderous volumes of Bae-
del1er. 1t may be true, but it has nev-
er been confirmed, because there are
no clear days in Manchester. When
all the 600 stacks are pouring forth
smoke and the fog steals down, it is
| dark at noon. On a good average day
you can see for several blocks, and
| only a few electric lights are neces-
sary. The trolleys will probably burn
| their headlights, but that is force of
| habit on the part of the motorman.

In 1916 there were 2,757 Young
Mems Christian associations in North
America, with a total membership of

local associat.5ls with 1853 secre-

an enrolment of 152, ,160 men and boys
in Bible courses, and S235S others in
educational courses. The total operat-

was 1892, $50. New buildings cost

that he loved her at all. Nor did she
trust the "old gods" too we'll, or let
them work nnaided.
Come with me, Athelstan !" she said.
She took his arm-found little jeweled
slippers in closet hewn in the wall
put them on and led him to the cur
tains he had entered by. She led down
the steps, and at the foot told him to
put on his slippers, as if he we're a
child. Then, hurrying as if those opal
eye of hers were Indifferent to dark
or daylight she picked her way among
powders that he could feel but not
see, along a floor that was only smooth
in places for distance that was long
enough by two or three times to lose
him altogether. When he looked back
there was no sign of red lights behind
him. And when he looked forward,
there was a dim outer light in front
and a whiff of the cool fresh air that
presages the dawn!
She led him through a gap on to a
ledge of rock that hung thousands Of
feet above the home of thunder, a
ledge less than six feet wide, less than
twenty long, tilted back toward the
cliff There they sat, watching the
stars. And there they saw the dawn
| come.
