The conversation in the lobby Of a
Washington hotel turned to the sub
ject Of signs when the following story
was contributed by Representative Ed
ward 81. Watson of New Hampshire !:
An esteemed party named Pat estab-

pictured a man riding a mule. Just
after the sign was put up Pats friend.

TAUGHT That All Was Dream.

AS far back as the fourth and third
centuries B. G. Chuang Tzu, the bril-
liant Chinese mystic, taught that this
life is really a dream. He said
"Those who dream of a banquet,
awake to lamentation and sorrow.
Those who dream Of lamentation and
sorrow wake to join the hunt. While
they dream they do not know that they
dream. Some even interpret the dream
they are dreaming; and only when they
wake do they know it was dream
By-and-by comes the great awakening
and then we find that this life is real
~ a great dream.
sFools think they are awake. now,
and fatter themselves they know II
they are really princes, or peasants
Confucius and you are both dream
ers and I, who say you are dream.
ers, I am but dream myself. !"

General FOch.

By strength and uprightness Of his
character, as well as by his great in
telligence and his military science,
Foch is the accomplished type Of a
chief chief modest and simple, who
shows himself only in the serious
hours, when responsibilities crush
others, and who then takes them with
a resolution, an energy, and a serenity
which astound everyone.
Essentially definite person, once
in action, he retains only positive facts
upon which he will hold his plans.
This is the reason for his requiring
great clearness in all reports verbal
or written; he never allows two ideas
to be given him at the same time. If
someone commits this error gesture,
we'll known to his staff, which seems to
push aside any second thought, is in
variably accompanied by the brief re-
mark: 81 don't follow you any
longer" or "'That is ancient history
go on" when it refers to facts without
bearing on the decision to be taken.
During the execution even more than
in the preparation, he admits neither
delay nor carelessness and his natural
kindness stops as soon as the coun-
try's interests are at stake.-New Re-
public.

Paper Scarce In wartimes.

During the War of the Revolution
persons engaged in the manufacture of
paper were exempted from conscrip-
ton. AS the war advanced the sup
ply Of paper for cartridges and wad-
ding ran SO low that the government
advertised for it, and finally ordered
the public to produce all they had,
even sending files Of soldiers to search
for the indispensable article where
there was ANY likelihood Of finding it.
In the garnet of house where Benja-
min Franklin once had his printing Of
flee were found $500 copies of ser
mon by Philadelphia divine on DE
fensive War;" These were seized and
used to make cartridges for the bat
tie of Monmouth. The results Of the
battle showed conclusively that it was
"a most striking DISCOURSE" During
the Civil war common news paper sold
for 25 cents per pound, and ten years
later it sold for 10 cents per pound.

Divinu Water Birds.

Water birds which are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at will by expelling the air
which is Enclosed within the film Of
feathers surrounding their bodies,
thus making them heavier than water.
This mechanical trick on the part Of
diving birds is probably familiarto all
who have watched the kingfsher at
close quarters, and have noted the
sudden contraction in the birds APP
parent size as it takes the plunge.
This is more easily observed in the
case Of the starting, which sometimes
initiates the kingfsher by plungfng into
water for food. The shrinkage Of
the bird in apparent size is. very no
ticeable when. after towering above
the surface, it turns downwards to
dive. -.

CARE FOR SOLID ERs' FEET
Army Authorities Particular That
There Shall Be Little Trouble
in. That Respect.

How is Uncle Sam able to raise suf-
,fcient funds to shoe his children ~
we might ask just now, when the
prices of shoes are soaring almost
above the average purse.
This question was, however, an
swered at recent meeting In Allan
tic City Of the American Leather Chem.
lists association, which was also at
tended by several members Of the
American Chemical society. Their dis
scussion on this subject proved most
conclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail
ity leather in their army shoes and
that it is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
in their discussion that the army
shoes are made with the flesh side Of
the hide outside. In this way grease
may be readily applied to the leatt-
er from time to time in order to keep
1t waterproof.
It was most gratifying to learn that
in every first-aid kit the soldier carries
tube of paste to apply to the feet in
order to prevent trench sores, which
were so common in the early days of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches, but
If the feet are promptly protected by
an inert grease no such bad effects
result.
Thus we see that Uncle Sam is deal
ing with the question of the army shoe
from the soldiers viewpoint of COM
fort and protection, as well as from his
own standpoint of the wearing quail
ties. The government recognizes that
the soldiers feet are his best friend
and it is doing everything to help to
keep them so.

laid out several sets of chop-sticks and

some bowls of rice, a package Off Gig

Afterward he made several bows and
genuf1e ctions, as If inviting his dead
friend or the other party to set to.
"A number Of fires were burning In
the vicinity, and onsthese were placed
pieces of paper with squares Of imita.
