Gently showed me the huge plant. l

"One Of our workmen," he said, "has

to go duck shooting, and while off on
a trip for week or more he thinks out
some new way to save labor"
After moments pause he added:

~pUcKINGy IN BATTLE.
Little Chance For Dodging Modern
Hiqh Velocity Bullets.

High Velocity Bullets.
Although under. the altered condi-
lions of modern warfare both officers
and men take all the cover they can
get, it is still considered "bad form" to
duck when bullets are whistling or
shells screaming overhead.
This is survival of the old Crimean
days, when men were actually punished
for ducking bullets in battle. That the
service tradition was not always strict
ly observed even then, however, is ap
parent from a story told of grizzled
old veteran who on being remonstrat'
ed with by a young corporal for 1ndul-
gence in this very practice, replied, ITS
all very well for you, m'lad, but I'm
family man." and continued to duck at
each report.
1t is on record, too, that Napoleon
strongly objected to it, and on one occa-
sion he even went to the length OF
publicly reprimanding one of his staff
officers for STOPPING over his horses
neck in order to avoid the balls he
heard whistling over his head.
General Gordon, no mean authority,
was of a different opinion, though.
Writing in his journal, he says, For
my part, I do not consider judicious
ducking to be fault, for l remember
on two occasions seeing shells before
my eyes which certainly, had not
bobbed, would have taken off my head"
Needless to say, however, it would
be impossible to dodge modern high
velocity projectile in this free and easy
fashion. 1t cannot be seen, and by the
time it is heard the danger is past

Growing Grapes.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere
and are sure to bear. Grapes can be
trained on trellises close to fences or
to outbuildings. Spring is the best
time to plant, using either one or two
year old vines. Frequently cultivation
during summer will improve the fruit.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer
for grapes, and half bushel to the
vine will not be too much.
No pruning will be required the first
season, but the second season cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds and remove all others.

MADDENING PROFESSIONS.
Your Work and Your Chances of Not
Becoming a Lunatic.


Becoming a Lunatic.
In view of the great increase of In
sanity during recent years, 1t is In
teresting to note the various classes OF
employment which are, more or less,
productive of madness.
A French scientist has recently been
Investigating this question, and his re-
searches go to show that, apart from
the terrible nerve strain Of war, the
military and naval professions are the
very worst a man can enter If he
wishes to go sane to the grave. Out of
every 100000 who enter the army and
navy 1919 become confirmed lunatics.
The liberal professions come In as
good second to the army and navy, the
list being headed by artists, who are
very close followed by lawyers and
somewhat more distantly by the cler-
gy, doctors Of medicine, men Of letters
and civil servants. The number Of
people in these professions who become
occupants of lunatic asylums is lit to
each 100000.
The professional men are run very
close by domestic servants and day la
borers, Of whom 159 out Of each 10O,-
600 are sent to the asylum. There is
big falling off before we arrive at
the next group, which is that of me-
chanics, only sc of whom go mad in
each 100000.
And, curious to relate and contrary
to all general belief, the group which
is most highly favorable to sanity is
that of commercial men, which sends
only AZ per 100000, or one in every
$3.50, Of its ranks to confinement.

and polish every bit of silver on the

this wholly unnecessary trouble.

NEW IRISH LEADER

John Dillon, the newly-chosen Irish leader, whose friends sometimes said that he dictated the policies of John Redmond, first entered Parliament in 1880, from Tipperary, at the age of 29 years. He was a physician by training but abandoned the medical profession for a political career in which he was closely associated with Mir. Redmond during the closing years ot the latter's life.
 Retiring from Parliament in 1883, he spent two years in California, re- turning in 1885 to be defeated as member for North Tyrone, but being elected in the same year from East Mayo, which he has since represented. Possessed of height and long limbs to degree to make him a conspicuous figure, and presenting an air which his associates have described as one Of melancholy, MT. Dillon has often stood forth as a spectacular orator in his activities in the house of com mons.
 Early during the second year of the war he bitterly opposed the British governments plan to raise an addi- tional 1,00O,OOO troops. He attacked ,conscription but finally agreed to con form to the wishes of John Redmond in not further opposing the military service bill. Early in 1916 he de- t0unced the governments methods of dealing with the Irish revolt and con- Gemned the executions. He made notions in the house of commons urging the government to disclose it's nlans for the administration of Ire land, declaring Ireland would welcome elections on the home rule question.
 On several occasions MT. Dillon has publicity criticized the British war pol icies, notably in connection with Ru, mania, Greece and the censorship. In an address in Dublin last December he condemned the Sim Feiners, de claring they had alienated sympathy in the United States for the Irish cause. During the session of parliament last year he was described as one oi the most voluminous takers,

HEROES SHOULD BE NAMED

Some news from France is exasper- ating, and proves that there are some people giving out news in the war de- partment who have no idea of what the people want in the way of war news.
 A dispatch from the front recently told of the death of the first member of the 1917 class at West Point. He died bravely, in the midst of the men over whom he served as captain. and he did deadly execution before the Huns got him.
 All of this was interesting, highly interesting,
 ! The trouble was it ended too soon The people were only whetted up tt know that brave mans name. Ant for some reason that is inscrutabl' this name was not sent. The peopl do not yet know who this man was 1 whether he hailed from Washington or from Florida.
