In a village near ours, says the au-

was a thriving farm with a man and
his wife, six sons and one daughter.
Then the blow fell, and all the men
In France We're moblized; the father
and his two eldest boys went off at
once-four hours after the decree Of
mobilization WAS received in the viii

his house in order, but left the farm
in the hands of his wife and the two
big hoys, aged fifteen and sixteen. The
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead, the two next are in the army
and the poor mother, wreck phys
ically and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work Of the farm. The young

cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage TO watch the cows and to
carry cans of milk or baskets of but

There are hundreds of girls doing that
work all over France.-Youth's Com

MOTHS MISSION ON EARTH
Would Seem Somewhat Hard to Ex-
plain, Unless 1t Be to Cause House
wife Much Worry.

Here is n life history of that frail,
yellow quarter-inch moth. Those that
we see flutterlng about the house are
probably looking for good place to
start colony. Each female moth lays
about 90 eggs. She gltTes each one
carefully to the fiber of cl8th or fur.
and she is ESPECIALLY pleased with
fuzzy fabrics. lfrInaes7 and fislyed edges
where she ean bury sher eggs deep in
the ambush of tangled threads. After
ishe has fastened ailiher eggs her life
work is over and she dies.
1t takes the eggs Just a week 10
hatch. Out ieaclr oneScomes a wee
translucently white caterpillar which
starts Immediately TO do damage. AS
II eats, 1t builds gallery to live in
from sort of silk Of Its own making
mingled with fibres torn from the IA
brio on which 1t lives. The caterpillar
gnaws at your coat or your dress or
your blankets for about ten weeks.
Then it enlarges It's feeding case to
make cocoon. Two weeks il sleeps
IN this cocoon, then the case bursts,
the caterpillar comes out pale, dusty
yellow moth, mates, and starts am
other destructive cycle Of life.

There is an adage somewhere to the
effect that the fighter who loses his
temper gladdens his enemy. The ex-
perts OF the prize ring will tell you
this is true saying. In further proof
we have the SOlomonic assurance that
he who Is slow to anger is better than
the mighty. All of which means that
anger is weakening. and that the man
who permits his temper TO rule him
