FOREIGN LEGION NEAR END
Famous Body Of Soldiers in the SerV-
ice of France Has Been Almost
Exterminated.

Frances most famous division of
soldiers, the Foreign legion, most des-
perate and ferocious Of all organiza-
tions of soldiers, is rapidly nearing de-
pletion. At the beginning of the war
it numbered 10000 men, all natives of
countries other than France, all out
casts, daredevils, men to- whom moth
ing of life remained but adventure, the
worlds greatest collection of ne'er-do-
wells. Now their number has shrunk
to less than 5000.
Throughout the war it has fought
with singular abandon and bravery,
caring nothing for danger, asking no
quarter and giving none. 1t is not be-
i'm recruited owing to the fact that
ne.rly all the foreigners who would
have Joined it are now enrolling under
tn II w flags.
The remainder of the legion, how

ONE OF WORLDS GREAT MEN
Johnny AppIeseed, Responsible for
Many Orchards in Wide Range, Will
Not Soon Be Forgotten.

John Chapman's name occupies an
important place in our American his
tory, for he is known as Johnny APP
pleseed, the Apostle of Apple Grow
ing" More than a hundred years have
passed since Johnny Appleseed scat
tered apple seeds throughout a wide
range of territory from Pennsylvania
to the Mississippi country, and in III
mility, yet his name has been immor-
talized, and we of future generations
will be a long time forgetting the name
of this great father of the modern
ap%ple-growing industry, the Christian
Herald states.
Johnny Appleseed was born in
Springfield, Mass, in the year 1875,
eventful in American history in more
ways than one. About the year 1901
he emigrated from Massachusetts, join
ing those forces starting for the I'M
known western country.
In the territory between Massachu-
sets and Ohio, and as far as Indiana,
Mr.. Chapman was a familiar figure.
He foresaw the tide of migration go
ing to the West, and seeing the need of
fruit, devoted his life to it's culture
Gathering all the apple seeds he could
secure in his native state he would
make long trips west, planting the
seed and supplying the scattered set.
tiers with enough to provide them with
dependable orchards. The result was
thousands of producing apple orchards
throughout this vast territory.

"Church of Gold"

There is no structure just like st.
Marks, in Venice, in the world, notes
the Kansas City Journal. Its bulb
shaped dOmes and minaretlike BELT

1t seems more like a Mohammedan
than a Christian temple. In the facade
are scores of v%ariously colored marble
columns, each one q monolith and all
possessing an eventful history. Some
are from Ephesus, others from Symr-
ma, others from ConStantinople and
more than one even from Jerusalem.
st. Marks is the treasure house of
Venice, a place of pride as well as
prayer. The work UT identifying this
old church was carried on for five CEN
turtles, and each generation tried to
Guido all that had preceded it. The
walls and root are so profusely COW

bles that it is easy to understand why

Rats 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 PERM
cious animals which cannot be COM
puted, writes Z. W. Nelson in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. PrOba-
bly, few ~freQuenters of the countryside
have returned to look into Il birds nest
to observe its condition without many
times finding it destroyed and frag-
ments of egg shells lying about. I'm
questionably Il 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 authenticity recorded that
the progeny of Il single pair of rats,
which escaped from captivity, in two
years time exterminated u great colo
ny of birds for which the island had
been noted.

Kiss Under the MistIetoe.

The mistletoe was held in great
reverence by the Druids. 1t was be-
lieved to be particularly and divine
ly healing; in fact, it was given this
attribute for centuries. 1t had special
significance as the cause of the death
of Balder, the Morse Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from its
branches.
Subsequently Bladder was restored to
life, the mistletoe tree was placed un-
der the care of Frigga, and from that
time until it touched the earth was
never again to be an instrument of
evil.
The present custom of kissing I'M
der the mistletoe is the outcome of an
old practice of the Druids. Persons of
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave each other the
kiss of love and peace, in full assur-
ance that, though it had caused Bal
der's death, it had lost all its power
of doing harm since his restoration.

What Future for Women?

Women have always had a wider
range of Industrial opportunity in this
country than abroad; wal will newt
ably widen the range, observes a writ
er. A dearth of meE will necessitate
her acceptance of such activities, and
for a time at least, her continuance
in them. What is to be the result?
What changes will occur in her tenn
permanent, her standards, and her at
titude toward life, in consequence?
No one can predict them.

Did Not Fool the Bear

Bruin is self-educated. but excen-
tionally wise in the way of mankind.
A prOspector proved that. Having
suffered the loss OF much food, he pre-
pared Il particularly tasty morsel for
the bear and left it in the cabin, with
a notice on it to warn any p~rospectors
or hunters that might enter that it
was intended for bruin, and bruin
alone. The bear arrived in due course
and ate everything edible and some
things that were not, but passed up
the meat that had been prepared for
him. And it was bacon, too. This
p~r0spector declares hat the bear must
be able to read.

CORN PRODUCES SLOW GAINS
1t Is Deficient in Protein and Mineral
Matter Necessary for Crow
ing Animals.

When fed alone to young pigs, corn
produces relatively slow gains at a
high feed cost. Supplemental protein
feeds will make faster gains at a lower
feed requirement per unit of gain.
While corn is the chief feed for fat
tening hogs, it is deficient in protein
and mineral matter necessary for
growing animals. A food rich in pro-
TEN and minerals when fed with corn
is, therefore, highly beneficial.
