A quick way to clean silver that is
not furnished, but merely discolored
is to wash 1t in a weak solution OF
ammonia water. This removes the
black stains. After cleaning them with
the solution they should be washed
and polished with cloth. This meth
cd works well on silver spoons which
have been discolored by eggs.

THE OTHER SIDE OF WAR

You wouldn't think that men
would 60 to war to learn how to be
kind, but they do, is the observation
of a Canadian soldier. There's no
kinder creature in the whole wide
world than the average Tommy. He
makes a friend of any stray animal
he can find. He shares his last franc
with a chap who isn't his pal. He
risks his life quite inconsequently to
rescue any one who's wounded.
When he's gone over the top with
bomb and bayonet for the express
purpose of doing in" the Hun. ne
makes a comrade of the Fritzie he
captures. You'll see him coming
down the battered trenches with
some scared lad of a German at his
side. He's Cabling away making
throat-noises and signs, smiling and
doing his inarticulate best to be IN
telligible. He pats the Hun on the
back, hands him chocolate and Gig
arettes, exchanges souvenirs and
shares with him his last luxury. II
any one interferes with his Fritzie
he's willing to fight. When they
come to the cage where the prisoner
has to be handed over, the farewells
Of these companions. whose acquAint-
ance has been made at the bayonet-
point are often as absurd ag they are
affecting. | suppose one only learns
the value of kindness when be feels
the need of it himself. The men out
there have said Goodbye" to every
thing they loved, but they've got to
love some one, SO they give their af-
feetions to captured Fritzies, stray
dogs, fellows who've collected a piece
of a shell-in fact, to any one who's
a little worse OF than themselves.

THE CROUCH
by WALT MASON

When wise men write the history
of this unholy scrap they'll roast in
language blistery the cold-wet-blan-
ket chap. The chap protesting 10y
atty until he sprains his dome, yet
comforts Prussian royalty by finding
fault at home. He shakes his head
piece gloomily as all our statesmen
do. and grouchily and rheumiiy ex-
pounds his doleful view. I'VE start
ed in too recently, we were two years
too late; we lOafed around indecent
ly," observes the sad-eyed skate.
I'VE have a cheap john cabinet, and
congress is no good; there's too much
wind and CAB in 1t, and no ones saw
ing wood. We're wasting time in
training men; they all should be in
France, and busily a-braining men,
with club ana gun and lance" Thus
prates the sorehead drearily, until
his talk grows stale, till we assemble
YEARLY and ride him on q rail. Don't
go complaining bitterly-much bet
ter be a clam! Talk hopefully and
twitterly, stand up for Uncle Sam!
The crouch! In silk or denim he is
traitor to the flag! He's helping out
the enemy the way he chews the rag!

Adams.)

fact must not be overlooked. ON the

energy and tenacity. The war prep

fact that every nickel saved and in

curNAs WALL is CRUMBLING

From the Scientific American.
An examination of the bricks and
mortar in the great wall of China was
recently made at Shanhaikwan by J.
ca witt, chemist attached to the
bureau of science. Manila. Mr.. Witt re-
ports that the bricks are SO weak that
pieces may be easily broken off with
the fingers.
They are much larger than ordinary
building bricks, gray in color and re-
semble pumice somewhat in structure.
The mortar, which is pure white under
tho exposed surface, is much stronger
than the bricks. The tradition that the
bricks were dried in the sun only was
confirmed by laboratory tests If they
had been dried in kiln the appear
ance Of the wall would have been
considerably different and it's strength
and durability would have been much
greater. The general appearance and
analysis of the mortar indicate that NO
sand was mixed with the lime.

EDUCATING ROCKIES
From the Worl

From the World Outlook
n COLLEGE man in a Minnesota
~ camp met huge Swedish woods
man. He was little amused
that they should both be there, alike in
their khaki, and half in fun, half patron
izing, he asked:
'Parlez-vous Francais?'
Yon Yonsen scratched his head.
"Oui, tank so,'' he answered.
And there the college man realized the
great democracy Of war.
Uncle Sans training camps are filled
with men from every section of the
United States-foreigners who cannot
speak English. backwoodsrnen who can
neither read nor write, negroes who have
worked since they were small boys, and
men from the countrys finest colleges
and universities.
80 of the $50 men could neither read
nor write; one had never seen an cleo
trio light or a trolley car.
So Uncle Sam or one of his aids holds
school for them in camp. At Camp Up
ton from 80 until 1000 every day Is
held stiff course in conversational
English for the $50 foreign-born citizens
who could not understand single order
given them when they arrived. Then
there is a vast number of English
speaking men who have never learned to
write, and, first of all. they want to
write letters home.
