Oriental Statecraft.

The part which gesture plays in ORR
entail drama is set forth in q recent
Hindu volume, which says that there
is a fitting gesture to represent every
emotion. The gesture. in fact, is de-
scribed as deaf-and-dumb alphabet of
the soul. There are nine movements
of the head, corresponding to nine emo
tons, mentioned by one authority, "A

gle hands, and "A or 26 of the double
hands, etc.; also "hands" denoting an

For example, certain position of the

Make Pets Of HornbiIls,

The yellow hornbill, one of the most
interesting of the species, is a COM
paratively fearless bird and is easily
killed. The male is fond Of perching
on the tiptop Of tropical trees and
making a noise like a young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out Of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries in their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to it's
foster parents and will eat out Of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does a pet
crow and remains about the hut I'M
til the first mating season, when it
goes away with one of it's kind, rare
~ to return.

FAIRY 1AL[
KING PENGUlNS.
G May GRAHAl1 BONNER

king Penguins," said Daddy, "are
birds which live near the South Pole
and though the South Pole may sound
warm it is very, very cold.
Great men they call explorers, go
on trips to find out what new lands
and places they can discover, and they
run all sorts Of risks and dangers be-
cause of the great cold, the snow
storms and the ice.
"Penguins become very friendly with
people and men who visit in these
parts always consider the penguins
their greatest friends.
One day Mrs Penguin spoke to her
husband and this is what she said:
My dear, | have just laid an egg.
What shall l do with it?'
Mr.. Penguin took the egg which
was quite a good sized one and put it
in his pouch where it stayed in his
warm, comfortable feathers until it
Matched out
Mrs. Penguin always lays the egg
only one egg at a time which is unlike
other birds-and Mr.. Penguin keeps
il snug and warm until it is Matched.
One day, not long after this Mr..
Penguin met one of his friends and
got into very bad fight.
you're wrong, l tell YOU shouted
Mr. Penguin to his cousin, Mr.. Peter
Penguin.
I'm not, I'm right replied Peter.
"'YOu're as wrong as a bird can be-
said Mr.. Penguin And for a large
bird as you are I'd be ashamed OF my
self if l were in your place.
"'You're not in my place. said Pc
Ter, and you're every bit as large as
am. We're all large-all Of the pen
gums
''They were both standing up, their
white vests looking like the snow, and
then such a fight as they did have!
They fought and they fought and from
afar Mrs Penguin came hurrying to
stop her husband.
'She was thinking of the egg which
all the time he was carrying. My

yourself! Remember the egg!
"Don't be so selfish shouted Mrs.
Peter Penguin, let your husband fight
as let mine. They enjoy it
"'But Mr.. Penguin is carrying an
egg for me- said Mrs. Penguin.
"That's nothing said Mrs. Peter,
Mr.. Peter is carrying one for me-
"'YOu said that was nothing shout
ed Mrs. Penguin, who had become SO
angry at the first part Of Mrs. Peters
speech that she hadn't stopped to hear
the end of it. You think nothing of
On egg when it doesn't belong to you.
Talk about being selfish. You're the
selfish one
I'm not selfish at ALL said Mrs.
Peter. IF you think am, we will fight
about it,
GIVE will fight about it,, agreed Mrs.
Penguin.
$50 they fought, too! And such
fights as they all did have. After
time they were weary of fighting.

NO REASON FOR 1T


There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tortures
OF an aching back, the annoyance Of
urinary disorders, the pains and dan
gers of kidney ills will fail to heed the
word of resident Of this locality who
has found relief. The following is
convincing proof of merit:
Mrs Sophia Morton, 316 Emerson ST.,
Monroe, Wis, says: Kidney trouble
in my case began with dull pains in the
top and back of my head l had drag
ging pains in the small Of my back and
my kidneys acted irregularly. Doan' S
Kidney Pills made me feel much better.
The pain in my kidneys was relieved
and l gained in strength and weight. ;"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mrs
Morton said: Il haven't had to use a
kidney medicine since giving my former
endorsement. [ have as much conf
dence in Doan's Kidney Pills as ever. :"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills = the same that Mrs
Morton had. Foster Milburn Co.,

EXCUSES of Little Value.

The world does not want men who
offer excuses in place of accomplish
ment. Often it is compelled to accept
excuses. Often it experiences genuine
sorrow for the man who, instead of
succeeding, brings back a satisfactory
excuse for failure. But when the
time for advancement comes, the man
who is pushed forward is he who has
done the work, who has not offered
hard-luck stories in place of success
full effort. In him confidence can be
placed.

Mr.. Penguin FIapped His Wings.

once more, I said that it didn't mean
any more for your husband to be fight
ing than for mine. Mr.. Peter is carry
ing an egg for me, too
"'Oh, indeed said Mrs. Penguin.
I don't believe I heard all you had to
say; in fact I don't believe I wanted
to hear it all. I did want a fight so
much
$50 did T. said Mrs. Peter.
"'And so did we,' said Mr.. Peter and
Mr.. Penguin who came up just at this
moment to join their wives.
"'Were the eggs hurt?' both Mrs.
Penguins asked at the same moment.
"'Oh no. said their husbands. For
though the penguins fight when they
are carrying the eggs-they practically
never break. And they all enjoy fight
ing for there is so little else to do In
their part Of the world they feel!
'They fight as they would play
quite enjoying every minute of it-and
they do it great deal.
when Mrs. Penguin's eggs was
Matched, Mr.. Penguin took turns with
her in looking after the baby penguin,
each going in turn for food in the icy
water. And the same thing happened
in the Peter Penguin family"

Discipline.

Know you not that our business here
is warfare, and one must watch, ard
one go out as spy, and one must
fight? You neglect to do the bidding
Of the commander, and complain when
he hath laid somewhat rougher than
common upon you, and you mark not
what, so far as in you lies, you are
making the army to become, so that if
all copy you, none will dig a trench,
none will cast up a rampant, none will
watch, none will run any risk, but
each will appear worthless for war
fare.-Epictetus.

A statement prepared by the war
credits board Includes the following
explanation of it's functions and activi-
ttes:
"Whcn a concern that has contract
with the war department for supplies
has shown the board that it needs finan-
cial assistance and has been able to
comply with the act by giving adequate
security, the board has approved an adj
vance payment and the money has been
received; in many instances where the
case was urgent the money has been
paid over to the contractor the same
day the application has been filed.
However, the board does not act in
any sense as bank. It is only when
the manufacturer has reached point
where financial assistance is needed, in
addition to his banking lines, that APP
plicatiOn for advance payment for his
goods is considered favorably by the
board"
Between the time Of it's creation in
November and January a the board
approved advances to contractors to-
falling $145, 551 900.

After an inspection trip TO base
hospital, Secretary of War Baker
made the following reply to an inquiry
concerning hospital conditions:
with Surgeon General Gorgas and
Doctor Hornsby l made this morning a
personal inspection Of the entire base
hospital at Camp Meade. The hospital
is very large, fully equipped with sci
entific laboratories and facilities, has
an adequate number Of trained nurses
under the supervision Of a skilled SUI
Derintendent; it's medical and surgical
staffS are made up Of competent men
filled with enthusiasm for their work.
The hospital throughout is clean and
well cared for; there was an album
dance of clean linen, plentiful sup
ply of well-prepared and appetiZing
food, and every evidence of consider
ate attention TO the patients was mani
fest I talked with a large number of
the patients, none Of whom knew who
I was, and found them cheerful and
without a single complaint as to their
treatment Or comfort. Doctor HOrnsby
told me at the conclusion Of our inspec-
ton that the base hospitals in the can
tonments throughout the country were
substantially like the one we visited
this morning. 1t was a most reassur-
ing visit. I have long been interested
In hospitals, and if | were to have
personal illness which required hos
pital treatment I should be perfectly
content to be sick in the base hospital
at Camp Meade, satisfied that / would
receive the attention necessary and
under comfortable conditions"
