An elephant, in his native land, haa
n hard job to find what ne likes to eat.
Contrary to the general belief, he viii
not eat anything, but he selects care
fully the best Of roots, herbs fruits
and various vegetables. When in cap
tivity, he eats about the same kind Of
fodder with few exceptions, includ-
ing pastry, bread, nuts (chielly pea
nuts) and some other goodies which
may be offered to him. Elephants eat
no kind of meat whatsoever; they will
only eat pure grown food or clean
bread or pastry.

Caesars Wounds.

In paper read before the French
Acadwny of Medicine It was declared
that although Julius Caesar received
30 wounds when he was murdered only
one was fatal. The first blow produced
only slight wound, but the second,
which penetrated the walls of the
thoraX, was mortal. After the first
blows Caesar tainted and then his as
sailants struck at him repeatedly.

Know WhortIeberries2

Very few people, we suspect, have
tasted whOrtlebcrrics, and many do
not know what they are. There is an
excuse for their ignorance, as en-
Derts were long in doubt whether the
fruit was the same as the bilberry; but
now they are agreed that they are one.
The Scots call them blacbcrries on ac-
count of their color, which is n genuine
blue, and so in the "Mcrry Wives" Pts
FOL instructs the fairy to "pinch them
blue as bilberry."

the Hun backward toward thu Rhine.
And over thousands Of fertile acres
through this broad land the shcavcs
are likewise falling into the yawning
mouths of the thrcShng machines.
Streams of golden grain are filling
the granarieS and elevators, The
Weld has been exceptional. Few are
the fields that have not set now
production mark. And the price is
better than it has been in many de.
cadc.
Like the Shells, the Sheaves will
help in beating back the Hun.
For not only will they furnish sus-
tennnCe to the allied armies in the
field. They will also contribute ma
terially in furnishing the militant sup
plies Oe warfare. Iland.m-hand the
shenvGs and shells will serve.
The farmer has done well his part
In production. He will reap hand

Teach Child to Love Pictures

A child's taste in pictures can be
cultivated by having in his room pic
lures which are good both as to color
and subject. Pictures dealing with
nature in any form are always at
tractive to a child and if they are
hung low in the room so that the child
can even handle them if he wants to,
this adds much to his enjoyment.

AS HAVE OTHER HUN THINGS
Man Complains That His German.
Made Clock Has Completely Gone
to the Bad.

My old alarm. clock has gone to
smash. That may not be a news item
nor it may not interest you, but up at
our home the fact that the alarm clock
wouldn't go any more was an event of
interest. It was ticking away on the
shelf at a quarter to II the night Of
July II. I took it up to wind it. One
twist, notwithstanding, siss boom all.
Something went all to pieces in the
works. ..r r.
More twists, shaking, putting the
clock to ear and final determination
that it was done for. I thought to
look it ove before depositing it in the
ash can. On the back was scratched
the month and day of the purchase in
1912. I was looking on the face for
the last time and studying it closely.
Then down at the bottom I saw in
small letters: shade in Germany"
There it had been ticking away on the
shelf year after year, sounding it's
alarm regularly, and yet never before
had I noticed that detested inscription.
Probably il 1 had it would have gone
into the ash can long before.
Just like a lot of other shade in
Germany" things that we didn't know
were around until we found them out.
But the old German clock is busted,
the works have gone to smash, it has
sounded it's last alarm, and as I medi-
tated on it I thought how true Of
everything else made in Germany"
including the ju%ggernaut war machine,
40 years in the building, with which
the kaiser was to ride untrammeled
over all the rest of the world. The
works sis busted."-E. e. K, in SYRIA

TYPIFIEs SPIRIT OF FRANCE
Brave Thirteen-Year1Oid Girl, With
Two Small Brothers, Doing All
the Work on Farm.

When the work in your war gar
den seems tedious and you straighten
your aching back and look longingly
toward the inviting shade Of the trees
or toward the arm chair on the awning
covered porch; when you mutter to
yourself that it will not matter much
whether the weeds do choke the beet
patch-it may help you to finish your
task II you call to mind q story told
in my War Diary" by Mrs. Mary King
Waddington.
In a village near ours, says the au-
thor, q girl Of thirteen Is running the
farm. At the beginning of the war it
was a thriving farm with a man and
his wife, six sons and one daughter.
Then the blow fell, and all the men
in France were modified; the father
and his two eldest boys went off at
once-four hours after the decree Of
mobilization was received in the vii
lage. The farmer had no time to put
his house in order, but left the farm
in the hands of his wife and the two
big boys, aged fifteen and sixteen. The
man and his two eldest sons are now
dead, the two next are in the army,
n the poor mother, a wreck phys
ically and mentally, cries all day. The
girl and the two little boys do the
whole work of the farm. The young
est, who is only ten years old,
cannot accomplish much, but he does
manage to watch the cows and to
carry cans Of milk or baskets of but
ter.
] see the girl simetimes; she is per-
fectly well, never complains and never
asks for anything-except occasional
" for a warm petticoat, Or a hood to
keep her head and neck warm and dry
when she is working in the fields.
There are hundreds Of girls doing that
work all over France.-Youth's Com
panion.
