A Suitable Name.

Two farmers wives were discussing
the worries of trying TO make room I'm

&C them said: 81 don't mind cooking

place for him to stay nights and rainy
days. I've planned n building with a

Then the other woman said: "Well.

Curious Food Supplies.

Needing the Puget sound call for
food from the deep. a whole regiment
OF patriotic seals offered themselves
for slaughter in the Sea island, Ber-

MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT
Trouble Is, According to Writer, That
the Stocking OF the Fires is
Neglected.

This melting pot of ours has been
asked to melt up more different kinds
Of stun than the department of min.
eralOgy ever heard Of. It's got more
things in IL than New England boiled
dinner, or n rummage SALE Porter En-
erSOn Browne writes in McClure's.
And to have gotten all these ingredl
ents properly melted would have meant
that every second man was a stoker
and every first coal miner.
But instead of that, every second
man has been motorcar manufactur
er and every first an open market.
And the result has been that so far
from melting these different ingredi-
ents. we haven't done anything with
them ut all. They have just been
dumped in and lain there. here a pile
OF Armenians. there bunch OF Ger
mans. over yonder pile of Jews, and
beyond that a chunk of Chinese. And
New York. which has been our biggest
receiving station, has come to take on
the appearance of one of those dishes

Effect Of War on Birth Rate.

In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical society Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared the United King
dom has lost by the fall in births dur
ing the war more than 100000 poten-
tial lives. During the same period he
estimates that Germany has lost %
100000 and Hungary 100000. The
greater decline In the birth rate in the
central empires is ascribed to the fact
that the poorer classes In those eoun-
tries have suffered greatly in health
and vigor on account of the war, while
the corresponding classes In Great
Britain have actually enjoyed more IA
vorabie conditions than in time Of
peace.-Scientitic American.

There Is a little old bridge in Paris,
In an out-of-the-way part Of the city,
that is being trod by many Yankee
feet these days.
The Eiffel tower Is about three.
fourths Of a mile away. and the dis

But that bridge supports in IT'S center
n statue Of the Goddess of Liberty. the
same glorious lady who holds aloft her
flame of righteousness In New York

learned on this bridge that the Goddess
of Liberty was gift from France to
America. The description on the ped.
estal records this fact. and there fol.

Waited Iona for Order.

The German soldier does exactly
what he Is told, and no more.
German officer was drilling re-
cruits. and had just given them the or
der: "Qulck march," when he no.
ticed his sweetheart coming across the
barrnck square.
Forgetting all about the recruits, he
entered into conversation with the girl
and went away with her.
Six months later the same officer
was walking down the main street of
the same town when he saw some tat
tered and tired soldiers approaching
him. One of the soldiers. recognizing
the officer, went up to him and, salut-
ing. said:
"Please, sir, what about a halt?"

The word umbrella Is derived from

Umbrellas were known TO the early
Saxons and TO many Of the late ones
coming home from the lodge on wet
nights. They joyfully seized any
-'gamps" they found lying around loose
in the hall stand.
In Queen Anne's reign umbrellas
were assigned exclusively to the use of
women, but in all subsequent rains
men have been using them, too.
New silk umbrellas are particularly
popular with humanity--especlally on
wet days. The most conscientious and
scrupulous Of men have been known

their own faded and decreplt ones.
Sometimes, in their temporary fits of

Some umbrellas are waterproof and
others not quite so. The rain runs
of the better kind and through the
cheaper sort.

Umbrellas that open automatically
and without warning should he prohlb-
ited. Sometimes they develop most
surprising vitality,at unexpected times
and in inconvenient places. This Is
caused by hidden spring In the
handle.
They are useful novelties for the
first week or so. but the novelty soon
wears off and so does the spring. Then
the umbrella becomes ill-mannered and
aggressive, springing open impulsively.

RlSKED HIS LIFE FOR ENEMY
Constituted the Highest
Type Of Bravery.

Valor and glory shine brightest
when we behold them in sacrifices such
as that of Gen. John Cough, V. c..
who went from his place of safety far
down the line to take comforts to his
old regiment, and was killed while on
his mission Of mercy.
n where high officer sacrifices
himself for his men is glorious, what
shall we say of the deed of British
officer who offered himself to save his
foe? During an attempted daylight
raid on the part of the Germans, they
were held up by whitening machine
gun fire and retired with great loss to
their own trenches. one poor Hun,
who was terribly wounded was Inn
paled upon his own wire, and he hung
there writing In agony in the eyes of
both armies. Finally the sight Of his
suffering and his cries for help were
too much for an English officer in the
trenches opposite. vaulting over the
parapet, he walked boldly across No
Mans Land in the direct face of the
foe. and lifting his wounded enemy
from the impaling wire, he carried him
across the Hun parapet and down into
his own trenches. When he arrived
there a German officer took an iron
cross which he wore Off his own breast
and placed II on the breast of the brave
British officer. The firing on both
sides ceased while he returned to his
own trenches. And looking on, both
friend and foe alike knew that they
had beheld the highest form Of glory.
