What War Doea.

For those who go to war the victory Is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming ly paradoxical things taught by ths conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni- formly developed into tough and reli. able soldiers, often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many man who had been tmid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home. Men who have been disgraceful fail. ures in civil life have been converted In the fire of war into leaders of high ability.

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe. cial patriotism and bravery. He was a sergeant in South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside Of the works. Jump ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors. tied them to a staff and held them in position under 0 hot fire until another flagstaff WAS brought. For this commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. Or an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun. ty is named Newton in honor Of Jas. per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and a central square in Savannah help to pecpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the wcr.

fiunoring People Isn't Pleasant

"Humaring 8 man" sounds like 8 pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the mOney, it does not seem very fatterlng 70 the humorer or the humoree says writer ln the Woman's Home Companion And what lamentatle sight is that of the humoree. what deep inequality 1t implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring is part of the daily routine! When the one to be humored is a woman it may mean that man has been forced :nto the craven part of dcing anything Cor the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men wiE not make 70 avoid domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give uA vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.

Fresh Greens for the carary.

Canaries are very fond of lettuce, celery tops and othe- young and ten der greens, as all birdlo~ers know. When the birdman tells us we must not give these things to our pets too frequently the temptation to so con- frary to advice is strong, for we sym. pathize keenly. An accident showed me the way to gratify our pets without harm to them, as experience has proven. Some months since, a little birdseed was spilled on the earth in a large tub containing rubber plant Soon these seeds sprs,uted, asd we hit upon the idea of removing the bottoEa from the cage and setting it over the young sprouts. The joy the canaries found in their greens, and the conse- Quent discovery tbat the birds were really gaining in health and song con. vinced us that box of sprouting bird. seed was the thing to keep on hand for them.-Exchange.

The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits foreign nation finds il hard and sometimes Impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of uni versa] language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal Ian guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every In- dian learns it in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation
 that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one Enew word of the Oth- CTS language. This universal Ian. guage is, of course, made up of signs.

When Silence Is Golden

When you don't know. keep silence On such occasions silence Is golden. The man who cannot control himself Is not free man. He is the sport of every wind that blows. He is for some thing when he has just talked with a man who is for it. He is quite as strongly against it after listening to one who is against it. and will be just as ready to change again under some other persons influence. His opinion Is valueless because 1t Is never his own. It is well to think carefully of sub- Iect before expressing an opinion on 1t. Do not allow yourself to be influenced by spacious reasoning. still less by talk in which thCA Is no reason. The more important :hc subject, the more ,eed of self coptrol.-Exchange.
