Germany. aud hc suffered perhaps
the greatest humiliation that ever was
visited upon king, writes n historian.
Gregory VII became pope iR the sew
enth decade Of the eleventh. century.
The election did mo- please Henry ia
the least Under the pi}fercd title OF
Roman king he claimed a share in pa
pal affairs and ala not propose to be
treated lightly. Blu Gregory pCrsua1s
ed him to confirm his elevation. Then
dissensiou broke Out between the two,
ana Henry's partisous uaaeated the
pope, who retired to CanOssa, in the
Apennines.
Gregory retaliated on Henry by
welding that most powerful weapon
Of the church--excommunlcation. This
casting out Of the faith was the most
feared Of all fates En- ancient days, and
even Henry's close advisers fell away
from him. The king faced the storm
bravely enough, but things went
against him and he decided to pro-
Ditiate Gregory. So, In the midst Of
winter he crossed the Alps, truly pro-
digious undertaking in those times, and
presented himself before the castle
where Gregory was staying, asking au-
dlence. At first Gregory refused, but
then consented on condition that Hen
ry dismiss all his attendants and enter
alone. The German complied and
quilted his suite to go inside the walls.
Further on he came to q second gate,
where he was told that the pope had
ordered him Invested Of all his regal
ornaments and clothing before proceed
ing. Henry reluctantly consented, and
received in exchange q coarse wooden
tunic. Wearing this, he passed through
the gate, thinking his troubles over.
But there remained last gate and a
final trial. For three days and nights
he was kept standing outside the gate
IN severe weather, fasting from mora
ing until night. At the end Of that
time Gregory finally had fine king
Ushered before him and agreed 10 lift
the ban il Henry would consent to a
truce between them, made distinctly
on the pope's terms. To this Henry
agreed and was restored to the church.
lie left soon after, nursing his hatred
for Gregory and determined to square
accounts. This led to the pope nofni-
mating another prince for Henry's
throne and to endless warfare. The
king was communicated q second
time and continued under the ban most
OF his trOubIous life. There have been
few instances Of n monarch undergo
ing any such humiliation as that he e1l-
perienced, standing outside the pope's
door for three days in freezing weather.

"THE WOMAN YOU ARE TO Be-

There comes a time in a girls life

the question that now arises has to
do with the woman that she viii be for
the rest of her life. Is she going to
furnish the nice, clean recesses of her

is she going to toss an indiscriminate

She has it within herself to make
her brain n power, to teach it to rea-
son, to cram it with intelligence, and
to force herself as a personality to re-
spond, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There is still another thing that she
may choose to do-She may decide 10
leave it entirely enpty. In that case,
which is the saddcst of all, her eyes

Two Billion Bricks a Year.

paving brick from blast furnace Stag,
These bricks were worth about S35

furnace Stag at a cost Of So to 81 per
thousand. He figures that there is at
present available about 100000 tons
Of Stag annually in the United States,
after leaving 100000 tons for cement
manufacture. This would provide
2,000,000,000 bricks for permanent good
roads every year-say, for 1000 miles
annually of 50-foot road.
Time and again failure has been en-
countered in the effort to make paving
brick in this manner, but the problem
seems to be fairly well worked out
now. The Stag must be treated hot as
it comes from the furnace, and She
brick must be heated out of contact
with air or steam lest it become brittle,

FRENCH IN ALGERIA
Have More Troops in 0ran Than
Amy Town in France.
Streets Are Full of Soldiers in Pictur-
esuue Costumes, Including Arabs
in Their Flowing White
Garments.

There are more French soldiers TO
be seen in Oran than in any town I'D
France. Those in France are at the
front or in the points of concentration
near the front. They are there right
enough. but one does not see them
at the front-because they are in the
trenches. But in Algeria it is differ
ent. The streets are full of soldiers;
so the cafes. the street cars, the stores,
the docks. the public gardens. The OF
fetal figures give the population OF
Gran nj 10000. To the casual visitor
there seem 70 be at least half as many
soldiers besides.
And they are all French-French or
French colonial, not allied troops.
Besides. the casual, familiar army
types. there is every kind Of exotic
fighting man, including native troops
from Indo-China, looking more like
Japanese than anything else, and uni
formed as ordinary French colonials
of the line. There are the ZouaveS,
with their baggy red breeches and
khaki puttees now o days, instead of
the white CATERS of the old parade
days before the war. Their short,
black-hraided jackets, sashes and
blouses, however, are unchanged.
There are the Chasseurs d'Afrique-
the African light cavalry-with sky
blue uniforms and red fezes, the most
elegant Of French military horsemen.
More gorgeous, however, are the
'tirailleurs," the sharpshooters, equal
" in sky-blue uniforms, faced with
yellow. and also wearers of fezes. On
active service this magnificence is sup
,planted by khaki and khaki fezes upon
(which a star and crescent indicate that
the wearer is q follower Of the prophet.
More characteristic of the country are
the is'-Mohammedan troops, Of
ficered by Frenchmen. They wear
flowing scarlet cloaks and the soldiers
wear turbans and native costumes; the
officers, unequal to coping with the
.turban, content themselves with fezes,
hut sacrifice nothing of the respondent
scarlet cloak. The most picturesque,
and the most numerous, are the
,"goums," the Arab cavalry regiments
raised by the Arabs themselves. They
wear the flowing white garments, the
'bournous" of the desert.
At tea time any sunny afternoon the
Boulevard Seguin, the principal street
of Oran, is crowded with these uni
forms, and more besides. The terasse
of the Cafe Continental hasn't q va
cant table, and the tables cover the
sidewalk almost to the curb. There
are no regulations about the hours at
which drinks may be served in Algeria,
for the war is far away and the garden
of Africa is for those who are sent to
rest, to forget the war for a while,
for the convalescents and for those
who stop a few days or a few weeks
between service in Macedonia or Egypt
or wherever else the world of war may
send them.
There are French sailors in Oran,
too, for Oran is Frances nearest naval
port to the Straits Of Gibraltar, and
the great amphitheater harbor so full
of ships of commerce, whose enlarg-
ed wharves are piled with stacks of
grain and acres of wine casks is also
