aforesaid Johnnie. He scans 'em from kiver to kiver-from page 1 to page 12, reading everything from patent medicine advertisements to out-of- town society in the hope of glimpsing the name of an acquaintance.
 In that masterpiece of R. H. Dana, Jr., 1.-TWO Years Before the Mast, :" this Illuminating paragraph appears:
 Having got all the news we could we pulled ashore; and, as soon as we reached the house, I, as might be SUD-, posed. proceeded directly to open my bundle and found a reasonable sup ply of ducks, flannel shirts, shoes, etc. and, what was still more valuable, a packet of eleven letters: These l sat up nearly all night to read. and put them carefully away, to be read and re-read again and again at my leisure. =. Then came a half doz- en newspapers. No one has ever been on a distant voyage, and after a long dDScHC0 ICSCiNCu O hS"oPoPSi AAO home who cannot understand the de- light that they give one. I read every part of them-the houses to let; things lost or stolen, auction sales and all. Nothing carries you so entirely to a place, and makes you feel so per fectly at home, as newspaper"
 The same feelings of intolerable loneliness, suddenly dissipated by the appearance of newspaper from home, has been experienced by every person who has been in R. H. Dana's shoes. There are persons in Valdez who hug to their breasts some little sheet, slatternly in makeup, a daub of black ink, not worthy the glance of an individual to whom 1t means only a newspaper and nothing more, but prized by them because t takes them in spirit back to the Home Town" to old friends and familiar associations.
 The man in the army may be en- vied by you for the excitement that is his lot and for the new vista that is opened to him in travel, but mean while he is wondering what Is "going on" at home and longing for a word of news and of cheer.

AN Exchange tells a story of boy who took a sack of rabbits to town to sell and returned home at night with the contents of his bag intact. Upon being asked why he did not sell the rabbits he stated that he stood around all day and no one asked him what he had in the sack. Many mer- chants are like the boy, they expect to sell goods by placing them upon their shelves and never telling the public about what they have for sale.

CHEER UP THE SOLDIERS

If you have a son in the service write to him. If one of your family, whether a distant or near relation is with the colors, write to him. If you have friend in the service write to him. If, in brief, you have kith or kin serving under your country's flag remember that nothing is more ap- preciated in an army camp than news from home.
 Hundreds of thousands of men now serving in the cantonments or in France are hungry for news-not news of war preparation of wars de- lays; not news of what the kaiser s submarines are doing; not news of how far Haig has driven Hindenburg in the last raid-not that. but news of what Neighbor Jones is doing, whe- ther Sister Sally has again made up'' with her beau; how dads crop of oats is progressing; news of the sudden demise of Uncle Sam Smith, of the engagement of Cousin Mary to J.

IN LILAC TIME.

Through orchards of old apple trees That spring makes musical with bees; By garden ways of vines and flowers, Where twittering sweet; the bird box towers And swallows sun their plunles- The path leads winding to the gate, Hung with it's rusty chain and weight, That opehs on q, lilac walk Where dreams of love and memories talk, s,~@.~
 Born of the dim perfumes. The old house stands with porches wide
 And locust trees on either side It's windows, kindly as the eyes Of friendship, smiling at the skies. Again he meets her, brown of hair, Beside it steps May lilies lift
 Belfd sprays of snow in drift on ., drift, ', And in the door, a lily. too, Again she stasas, the one he knew
 In days that are no more. Again he meets ner, brown of hair, Among the clustered lilacs there, The. sun Is. set: the blue dusk falls; A nestling bird another calls
 A star leaps in the sky. Again he breathes the lilac scent And rose; again her4head is Hent And oh! again, beside the ga,te, To see the round moon rise they wait,
 Before they kiss good-by. .-. Long years have passed; the times
 .> since then, ... -. Have changed-and customs, too. and
 men .. But she has never changed to him, Nor has that house, so old and dim,
 Where once they said goodbye That place, which spring keeps ever s fair
 fhrough memories of her face and ' E.. hair Unchanged, like some immortal
 ..r rims. 4. ,. Where evermore 'tis lilac time,
 And love can never die.

The Presidents Honors.
fNlew York Sun)

fNew York Sun)
 | It is an honorable distinction which has been conferred upon President Wilson to nominate him for mem peTSplp in tine French Academy of MSTal and Political Sciences to which he IS to be elected on Saturday next, together with Cardinal Mercer of Bel gum and Antonio Salandra, the Prime, Minister of Italy: but it is 8 mistake to suppose that it is an cleo ton to the famous coterie Of learned men known distinctiveiy as the French Academy. ~whsse forty e,1.e rslss4@ bers are denominated in France tie Immortals.
 There are in fact and in law five great academies in France which talk en together make up the organization known as the Institute of France These academies are CD the French Academy-the Immortals; CD the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres; f3) the Academy of Sciences: (4) the Academy of Fine Arts, and (5) the Academy of Moral and Politi- cal Sciences. It Is to mem bership in the last named of these that Presi- dent Wilson is to be admitted This academy is permitted to have eight T regular members, eight being allotted to each of the five sections into. which the academy is divided namely ,() Philosophy CD Morality ca Legis- latlon, Public Law and Jurisprudence, (4) Political Economy, Statistics and Finances, and (5) General History and Philosophy.
 The relation of the Institute of France to the five academies which are it's component parts has aptly been compared to that of a university to it's several colleges. Just as all the colleges taken together make up the university. so all the academies taken together make up the French Institute. Each academy has it's own apartm ents and holds its own meet ings, but all participate on stated oc- casions Tn the meetings of the insti- tute, whose permanent home Is now the old Palais Mazarin in Paris. A distinctive costume has been pre- scribed for academicians since Napol- con was First Consul, consisting of a black coat, vest and pantalorns, en- broidered with green palms, hat known as the biCorne and 8 dress sword.
 Although all of the five constitu- ent academies of the institute official ly rank as equals, the old French Academy Academic Francaise) of the Forty Imm ortals, originating with Cardinal Richelieu in the reign of Louis XIII, enjoys an unquestionable primacy among it's peers. An invita- ton to occupy one of it's forty chairs is the highest distinction attainable

 Cans for the Soldiers.
CBo'ston Post.)

Those who have seen some of the
 pictures of our later arrivals on tne French front must have noted the dis appeara ance of the old-iin1e wide- brinllned, cowboy dented campaign hat that has been characteristic sof American soldiers for many years. Tho fact Is that while it still persists to some extent it has been ruled out by the War Depar tn1 ent and in 8 shost time will be seen no more in battle.4.
 This change in favor of the briTn- less and peak1ess 'overseas cap's lSy made because the first Americans in fine trenches found that the felt cam paign hats interfered with sighting through periscopes and that the wide, crown in the case of tall men could be seen above the parapets. Other ad-f 'yantages of the new cap are that the trench helmets can be worn overi It and it can be folded fiat. sg
 Millions of these new caps are nov under process of mia king here, and soon all of Pershings men will weas thehn Some will regret the. Older wear, but in tlhs case, as in all others, utility must rule.

School Prizes. (Roston Post1

Over in Paris. we are told, the Municipal Council recently decided that this year no prizes for scholar~ ship or merit were to be awarded In the schools of the capital Instead of buying costly books and silver and gold medals the money will be expended in sending the poorer chil- dren out of the city, where they will be safe from bonn bardment. And the pupils. brave youngsters a1l hava agreed heartily to the plan.
 Perhaps something of this sort may be done here. Where prizes are giv- en, in public or private schools, why could not the cost be devoted insteads to some worthy war fund Our chil- dren would acquiesce just as heartily as those of France.

NON- ESSENTIALS.

Members of local draft boards will
 they take Up the work of re-classi-
 flying men in the draft age under the work or fight ruling. Provost Mar
 shal General Crowder has declared
 that local draft boards must use com
 mon sense in determining which oc- cupations come under the head of non- essential. For their guidance he
 has outlined generally the groups which must be combed to furnish further men for Class l, but ultimate ly the mem oers of the boards must use their own discretion in passing on the various cases. In the matter of baseball players, no ruling has been made, but General CroWder will render judgment when concrete in stance is referred to him by. a, local board in case a ball player appeals from an adverse decision Obviously there will, be no little confusion caused if one local board terms ball playing q non essential occupation while another board regards it as es- sehtial Cooks, clerks and managers fo1. instance, may remain at hotels, but the walters must go~ Naturally. their places will be flied by women, as is the case in most European countries today. Clerks in depart ment stores must find other, employ ment or go to war. Thus female clerks will have the field all to themselves. Even porters on railroad trains are as holding nom essential jobs. Chauffeurs are supposed to do essential work, but many of them could we'll be dispensed with, and it will rest with the local boards to de- termine each case according to sits peculiar phases. ...
 Thee chief consideration of the local boards will be to see that bus mess is not unduly hindered and that the economic fibre of the country IS not injured. It will require. judicious reflection on the part of the members of the board to arrive at conclusions which will meet with the needs of the country. It is to be expected that may be made at first but gradually the ability of the people to adjust themselves to new circum- stances will assert itself, and the pro- cess of re-classification will go along smoothly enough after while.
