WELL.EARNED CONTEMPLATION

Far distant from the scene Of op-
erations men of the United States
navy are still prompted by the same
spirit Of courage, and instances of
bravery are as numerous in training
camps and with crews in waiting as
they are in the face Of the enemy.
Secretary Daniels has commended
for courageous conduct Floyd Her
man Bates, third class pharmacist
mate, serving on board a United
States ship in home waters. Bates,
with a shipmate, is credited with
saving the life of sailor who had
gone beyond his depth at Ocean
Beach, Cal. Neither of the sailors
had ever been in the surf before, but
with real nerve, backed up by splen-
did physical endurance, they tackled
job against new odds and won out.
Bates enlisted in the navy May 8,
1917, at Portland, Ore.

Corn Meal Recipe.

This paper recently published a
comment on the waste of wheat SUBJ
stitutes. Here is suggestion as to
the use of one of them in making
good old fashioned mush and milk.
Here is the recipe:
IL cups Corn Meal; 5 cups water
l heaping teaspoon salt, boiled in a
farina boiler until thoroughly cooked
1t may be cooked in the morning
and left over the hot water until
evening in which case not quite so
much cooking is necessary at first
there is also slight difference in the
kind of meal to be used. The coarse
meal is best and sometimes a little
more or less meal should be used
according to quality, to be determin-
ed by experience.

MATTHEW ARNOLD.

In Harper's Magazine Mrs.
Humphrey Ward thus describes the
late Matthew Arnold, who was her
uncle:
His face was strong and rugged,
the large mouth, the broad lined
brow, and vigorous coal black hair,
bore no resemblance, except for that
fugitive yet vigorous something
which we call 'family likeness" to
either his father or mother-still
less to the brother so near to him in
age. But the Celtic trace is there,
though derived, l have sometimes
thought, rather from an Irish than
Cornish source. Nothing indeed
at first sight could have been less TO-
mantle or dreamy than his outer as
pect. "Ineffectualness" was not to
be thought of in connection with
him. He stood four-square-a cour-
teous, competent man Of affairs, an
admirable inspector of schools, de-
lightful companion, a guest whom
everybody wanted, and no one could
bind for long; one of the sanest,
most independent, most cheerful and
lovable of mortals. Yet his poems
show what was the real inner life
and genius Of the man; how rich in
that very emotion" Glove of beauty
and charm, rebellion against fact, .
Spirituality" melancholy" which
he himself catalogued as the cradle
gifts of the Celt.

THRIFT STAMP is HIS TIP
instead Of Usual Quarter, Baltimore
Man Makes Practice Of Giving
Twenty-Flve-Cent Stamp.

There is a new sort of tip around
the hotels, the Baltimore Sun states.
A widely-known man had his usual
luncheon at one of the big hotels.
The service was excellent, and, of
course, he passed something to the
waiter. But instead Of the usual
quarter it was a Thrift card, on
which a 25-cent Thrift stamp had
been pasted.
81 just happened to have an idea
that l could not do the waiter who
serves me better turn than to get
his mind fixed on these Thrift
stamps" said the man who changed
the style in tips. at took him
a minute or two to find out
what l had handed him. He was a
surprised fellow. But a moments
explanation Strengthened him out.
And I believe that in little while he
will understand that | not only gave
him my usual little fee for his po-
likeness and attention, but that | put
him on the right track to make the
best use of what he picks up during
the day.
"Gikely as not the tip of one man
day, if given in the form of 25-
cent Thrift stamp, would come
pretty near to buying that waiter one
of the War Savings fund certificates,
with all of the stamp spaces filled, by
the end of the year. 1t seems to me
that the people who are served by
certain walters could do them no bet
ter favor than to give them Thrift
stamps instead of the usual bit of
cash."

BRANDED AS BOURGEOIS"

Countess Panin, a genuine Rus
sian liberal, a woman who had de-
voted not only her money but her
own time and energy to welfare
work among the working classes
gave me the story of her own expert
ence, Samuel N. Harper writes in
the New York Independent. The
workmen, and their wives also, came
to her, very apologize but firm in
their explanations of why they must
vote against her, because she was
Bourgeois" 1 was somewhat con-
fused by the use of the word "bour-
geois" until l heard the definition of
the term given by cabman of Petro-
grad: 'Why, bourgeois is one who
lived well under the old regime"
Demagogues exploited this idea
and used it dishonesty. But despite
this fact, the idea contained an ele-
ment of truth and in any case repre-
sented testing of the Fright to en-
joy the good things of this life"
Thus many who had unselfshly and
ardently worked for a new order in
Russia, for a revolution, were
brushed aside by the revolution. That
is what happened to many of the
zemstvo workers. For though they
had worked against the old regime,
they had worked under and through
it and they had 'lived well under the
cid regime"
