4. allah Rookh" Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh," the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
just a century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote it was such
that he was able to sell it when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for it, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, stipulating
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for
poem" "That," said Longman, was
the $4,000 paid for 'Rokeby,'" and on
that basis bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
SCOTS in length. Even so, Longman
had the best of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within year.
and a quarter of century later Long
mans still regarded 'Lallah Rookh' as
"the cream of copyrights. "-Manches-

The True Socialism.

Once in khaki it matters extremely
little what you were in civilian life.
Among the group of thirty-odd ruftians
who compose the population Of my hut
are an author, q journalist, two actors,
q land agent, a schoolmaster, On agrl-
cultural gentleman, diversified bust
ness men, and striplings fresh from
school and university.
Each of us preserves his own In
dividuality-off parade, and in civilian
life such a variegared group would In
fallibly split up into little cliques and
cabals. AS it is, we are Informed with
an amiability and a spirit Of mutual
helpfulness which is, 1 imagine, the
true socialism, although so ideal a
brotherhood has never yet been
achieved by the political socialists who
have had opportunity to put their
theories into practice.-London Globe.

MsIan,mal, Got Into TrSubIe ThrosupaaA
Nosing Around Too Promiscuous-
Iy Among Strangers.

Seals are very plentiful among the
Orkneys, and are sometimes caught
when asleep on the .,kerries. They are
attracted by musical sounds, and at
one time a considerable number were
said to make their appearance in the
bay of Hoy when the bell of the parish
church close by was rung.
Seals are usually much on their
guard against the approach of men,
but when unmolested frequently come
close to boats or people ashore. An
instance of this occurred recently OIL
Skraill bay, in Sandwich, where some
yawls were at paddock fishing, writer
in the Edinburgh Scotsman says.
A seal made its appearance, and
showed great curiosity as to what was
going on. 1t swan repeatedly between
two boats a short distance apart, anu
ultimately devoted its attention to one
Of them, diving under the boat and
coming up first on one side and then
ON the other. At last it made spring
at q fish which was being hauled out
Of the water on a hand line. 1t failed
to get a proper hold, but the fish was
thrown back to afford another chance,
which the seal quickly seized. 1t kept
so near that eventually one of the fish
ermen got hold Of its tail, and by the
assistance of another 1t was taken Into
the boat.
It was a young one, about three feet
in length. It did not seem to appreciate
its new quarters, and made strenuous
efforts to escape, but was kept pris-
oner until the fishing ceased, and then
taken ashore. Subsequently the seal
was restored to its native element
which it seemed to appreciate all the
more after Its detention.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public. I
Theresult has been the eatestdemana
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is. ,ot
only most wholesome, but the favo2 is
greatly improved, justas cooking improves
meat for example.

The World on Wheels.

According to report by the office
Of public roads, which takes notice of
such matters, there were 3,512,996 au-
tomobiles and motor trucks and 25O,-
800 motorcycles registered in the
United States in 1915. This is an in
crease Of 43 per cent over the registry
of cars and trucks for the previous
year. The gain was greatest in the
Southern states, where 1t reached Sc
per cent. On the estimate of the pres
ent population there is now an automo-
bile for every 20 people In the United
States. On the basis of comfortable
seating capacity, this makes room for
one-sixth Of the inhabitants, says
Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's. Or, in
other words, if properly apportioned,
every sixth or seventh family would be
found supplied. The total license reve-
nue. derived from this source for 1916
was $25,865,370, which represents an
increase of $7,699,659 over the receipts
of the same character for the year
before.

IL DISPENSER. Or COMFORT
one EnaIishwoman Does "Her Bit" by
Keeping Open HSuse for Wounded
Mems Visitors.


There Is q largo class of English
women, writes London correspondent
| who have to keep their own homes go
Ing, but who manage to take time to
help to ease the war strain. She visits
soldiers wives and families In dark
and dirty streets, as do most OF her
friends and hundreds Of other women
She never goes empty-handed. To pay
for these luxuries she dispenses with
help in the housework, rising earlier
In the morning to do 1t herself. Here
Is the experience Of one:
In the course of her visit to a hos
pital tall, sad, young Scotchman won
her sympathy. He was grievously
wounded, but what he seemed to suffer
from most was homesickness and a
wild longing for his own people, es-
pecially his mother. "She can't afford
It," he said when asked why she did
not visit him. "She could get half
fare warrant, I know, but even then
she's not accustomed to travel, and
she'd be lost In strange town."
This gave her an idea. She would
ask the mother to come to Leeds and
stay with herl She met her at the sta
ton and took her up to the hospital,
where the excited boy lay.
For few days the old Scotch wom-
an stayed with her, and then returned
to Scotland full Of gratitude and de-
light at having seen her son. She was
the first of many guests entertained by
I this warm-hearted Englishwoman. Sol
diers' wives came, sometimes bringing
with them q baby-once or twice 1t
was baby the father had never seen
before, born while he was at the front !;
soldiers sisters, sweethearts, mothers,
all poor women who could not afford
to have come without her offer of hos
pitality. They arrived tired, anxious
and sad, and she comforted them and
cheered them, and they went away hap
pier to know that their dear ones haf
so kind friend at hand.

How Houses Explode.

The most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes Is the ex-
plosion Of houses, which literally
burst, scattering their fragments In all
directions. Sometimes substantial
dwellings are carried high into the air
and then explode. 1t Is now under
stood that this Is due to the fact that
the funnel cloud" (revolving at rate
of at least 500 miles an hour) has a
vacuum inside. Thus 1t sucks up
everything in its path, even emptying
wells. 1t sucks all the air from around
a house over which it passes, and the
house "a vacuum being thus created
outside Of it) promptly ,explodes, ow-
ing to the pressure Of the air, at 30
pounds to the square inch, from with
in. The house, in a word, is trans
formed into a bomb.

rock. The convent is situated in a
very isolated spot and was formerly
surrounded by a dense wood OF. cork

,Convento da Cortica, or "Cork Con-

cells, chapel, kitchen and refractory are
all lined with cork to keep out the

FROM PRIVATE TO GENERAL
Enlisted Man in u S. Army Has Nine
Steps to Climb Before He
Arrives at the Top.

The private soldier, standing at the
bottom of the army stairs, has nine
steps to climb before he arrives at
the top, q general. His first promo
ton Is to corporal and the next to
sergeant. He Is elevated to these
grades by his regimental commander.
The next step to commission bear
ing the presidents name was former
~ the most difficult to negotiate, but
thanks to the arlny's pressing need
Of officers it Is now fairly easy to
take for men who honestly possess
the qualities necessary to make The
right kind of officers, says Richard
Smith in Leslie's.
After he becomes second lieutcn-
ant time and opportunity will give
the soldier his first lieutenancy and
later captaincy. Next he becomes q
major. Directly above the major
stands the lieutenant colonel, who is
one grade below a colonel. At the
top, for final reward, Is O generals
star.
Easy as the ascent seems to the
laymen, q superficial examination OF
the facts will prove it a difficult
climb, but by no means forlorn hope.
Witness the fact that one Of the most
caste-controlled armies In the world,
the British, has at its head general
In chief who began as ranker. Even
on q peace footing enlisted men OF
ability in our army have been able to
secure commissions through study
and application to duty. On war
basis this opportunity is much greater.

MAGNETIC Pole Moves PenduIumwise.

The magnetic pole does not, as has
generally been believed, move in cir
Gle around the geographic pole, but
oscillates exclusively on the Pacific
ocean side. This has just been proved
by Emile Belot, who has presented to
the French Academic des Sciences a
curve representing the motion Of the
magnetic pole since the year 1541.
The motion of the magnetic pole is
almost spiral, but its speed varies.
From 1880 to 1765 it averaged IL kilo-
meters year. For the last 100 years
it has averaged only 8 kilometers a
year. M. Belot likens it to the oscilla-
ton of pendulum, which slows up
as it approaches the ends Of its swing.
The period of its swing is about 300
years.
