DICKENS FAMILY PROVISION.

Election of Henry Fielding Dick
ems, son of Charles Dickens, the now
elist, by the aldermen of the city Of
London to the Office of common SER
geant, which carries with it salary
of $4,000 a year, will cause gratifi-
cation TO many admirers of his ia
Their in America, says the Richmond
Times-Dispatch. 1t is true that the
versatile caricaturist made a lot OF
fun of our institutions when they
were in crude state, and there was
time when his burlesques of our
boosted business progressiveness
were not we'll relished, but he was
master of a form of hnmor which APP
pealed irresistibly to the American
sense of the ludicrous, and so he was
forgiven. OF late years, stories OF
the poverty of his descendants caused
grief in this country, which will be
relieved at the news of his sons good
fortune.

GREAT DAMAGE FROM FLOODS
Most Disastrous Overflow in England
Occurred in 1912; in France in
1916; U. s. in 1889 and 1918.

We in this country have expert
enced nothing like the floods which
have taken place in other countries,
says London correspondent. Per-
haps the most disastrous flood which
has happened IN England occurred
in 1912, when East Anglia was par
TALLY submerged. No less than $685.
100000 worth of damages was done
to the districts round Norwich, Ips-
wicK, Nottingham and Leicester, and
nearly 100000 people were driven
from their homes.
France has had more than its
share of deluges. Most,of us remem-
Der the fearful Paris floods Of 1910
when the Seine overfowed, causing
over $50, 100000 damage. Again, in
1875, large tracts of land around
Paris were submerged and damage
to the extent of SIS, 100000 done.
Uncle Sam, too, has suffered very
badly from floods, the most disas-
trous being the famous YOUNGSTOWN
floods of 1889. Heavy rains caused
a sudden rise of the Susquehanna
river and it's tributaries, with the re-
suit that numerous prosperous towns
and villages on the western slope of
the Alleghenies for 40 miles around
were completely devastated. Six
thousand persons lost their lives, in
Guiding 1900 burned to death at
Johnstown, where the iron furnaces
set fire to the driftwood and build
ings.
In March, 1913, an appalling dis
aster of flood, fire and storm over
whelmed Indiana and Ohio, result
ing in the death of 1000 people,
while 100000 were rendered home
less; $1O,OO0,0OO worth of damage
was done in few hours. Two years
previously dam burst over Austin,
Pa, resulting in the destruction of
the town and the death of 1000 Of
the inhabitants.

WATCHING FOR SUBMARINES.

A modern Paul Revere came to
grief right at the spot where George
Washington took his observations.
And that is Observation Rock, on
Washington Heights, writes New
York correspondent. A man climbed
to the top Of it and sat for hours
gazing eastward through a pair of
field glasses. The observer failed to
move from his lofty perch and at
tracted crowd. Finally policeman
came along. "What are you doing
there?" he asked. well, you see,
officer" answered the man, "this is
the rock where Washington and La
fayette watched the British fleet in
Flushing bay. If they could see the
British fleet then, ] can see the Ger
man submarines now. So I'm going
to watch till they come. Then I'll
warn New York" The man was
coaxed off his high perch and is now
being observed by ''bug' doctors.

low ROBIN EARNED HIS FOOD
Sculptor, Unknown, First Applied Him.
self to Various Vacations, Ac-
cording to Judith CiadeI.

In "Rodin: The Man and His
Work." Judith Cladel tells how, in
order to live, the famous SCULPTOR
then unknown, applied himself tc
the most varied occupations:
"He Clipped at stone and marble
for the benefit of sculpture then in
vogue; he made sketches for trinkets
for certain fashionable jewellers, and
fashioned certain objects of decora-
tive art ordered of him by manufac-
turers. Despite a considerable loss
of time, he obtained thus a true ap-
premiership in art wholly like that
which in earlier days was obtained
by Ghiberti, Donatello and most of
the great artists of the Renaissance,
who were proud to be good artisans
before they were accounted great
sculptors. Thus finally he was en-
abled to realize his first dream-to
have an atelier of his own. His ate
lier! 1t was stable, at a rental of
$24 year, in the Rue Lebrun, in the
quarter of the Gobelins, near which
he was born. 1t was a cold howell
cave, indeed-with well sunk in an
angle of the one wall that at every
season exhaled its chilling breath. 1t
did not matter. The place was suf-
ficiently large and well lighted.
There he accumulated a quantity OF
studies and works until the place
was so crowded that he could scarce
ly turn himself about, but being too
poor to have them cast he lost the
greater part of them. Sometimes the
clay, through being too soft, would
settle and fall asunder; sometimes it
would become dry, crack and
crumble."

ELEPHANT EATS PAPER.


Since the food controller has put
ban on the offering Of buns and bis
cults to the animals in the zoo, the
elephants who go about begging
among the people are reduced to
between-meals-diet of monkey nuts
and paper, says the Westminster Ga
zette,
The manner In which the biggest
elephant accepts a single monkey
nut and conveys it in his trunk to
his mouth is an object lesson in Dig
nifty in the face of disappointment !;
and his appetite for paper as sub
stitute for breadstuffs is greater than
any goats,

start the Day Rioht.

Start your day right. Bury the
Ratchet of the night before. Leave all
your grouches in the bedroom and
come out into the dawn of a new day
with smile. What matter If some
one has annoyed you the night before?
That day has passed with every pleas
ure and annoyance. Today is only
started, and no one knows what will
happen, good or bad. so it is well to
be prepared for the best. Too many
prepare for the worst, look for it and
get it. Smiles are the least expensive
of all joys of life, and the most up
building. So smile whenever you can.

Exclusive Turkey Farms.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found
in the unsettled foothill regions Of Cal
ifornia and in parts Of Arizona and
other Western states, where 1000 or
more turkeys are raised each season.
The establishments are located where
the range is unlimited and the natural
food of the turkey, such as grasshop-
pers and other insects, green vege-
tables and the seeds of various weeds
and grasses is abundant. Advantage
also is taken on these ranches of the
turkeys relish for acOrns, and where
these are plentiful, but little grain
need be used for fattening in the fall.
The large flocks of turkeys are man.
aged much like herds of sheep, being
taken out to the range early in the
morning and brought home to roost
at night. They are herded during the
day by men either on foot or on horse
back, and by dogs especially trained
for the work.

How to Teach a Doo.

Kindness, firmness, and patience are
necessary qualities in teaching a dog.
Nothing can be done by cruelty, and If
you lose your temper you will never
teach him anything. 1t is very little
use trying to teach an old dog. Begin
when he is young and do not Overture
him. Also do not overfeed him, for
most of the lessons have to be taught
by system of small rewards In the
shape Of tit-bits of food.

Man No Bigger Than His Ideal.

You will realize the Vision (nOt the
idle wish) of your heart, be it base
or beautiful, or a mixture of both, for
you will always gravitate toward that
which you. secretly, must love. Into
your hands will be placed the exact
results of your own thoughts; you will
receive that which you earn; no more,
no less. Whatever your present envi,
ronment may be, you will fall remain
or rise with your thoughts, your
Vision, your Ideal. You will become
as small as your controlling desire; as
great as your dominant aspiration

ELABORATE WAR MEMORIAL.

One of the finest war memorials in
the world is to be erected in Egypt
by Australian soldiers as tribute to
their comrades who have fallen in
Egypt and Palestine. Every Aus
tralian soldier there has subscribed
$1.25, The memorial will consist of
broken column of great size, to be
placed ON the bank of the Suez canal.
New Zealanders will erect a similar
monument at Bir-el-Abd. where
many OF their comrades fell during

Try This One.

Hint to husbands: When drying
dishes hold the slippery ones over the
rest Of the dishes. Then when they
slip, the chances of breaking more
dishes are increased many times over
the more familiar plan Of dropping
them on the floor. The more dishes
you break, you know, the fewer you
have to dry. There Is no object In dry
ing broken pieces Of china.-Kansas

Military ORGANIZATION of Jews.

The military organization of the
Jews began with their departure from
Egypt Every man above twenty years
old was a soldier. Each tribe formed
a regiment with its own banner and its
own leader. Their positions in the

fixed.
