Esprit de Corps Works Wonders.

Esprit de corps makes every French
soldier feel proud to belong to his unit,
for he proclaims that his unit is the
best Of all in the French armies and
that all men Of this unit are fine lot.
That esprit de corps will make them
perform wonderful achievements in or
der to Guido neighboring units. But
the exaltatiOn of the morale Is really
the work of the officers; they are in
close touch with the men and have
their confidence. They will point out
to them the reasons why they fight;
they will tell them why they must be
confident of success; they will give
them some indications as to how the
next battle will be fought and the rea-
sons why a success Is expected-name-
ly, the great superiority in guns, in am
munition, in infantry and in morale
that we shall have In this particular
sector. Then, as the training goes on,
the men will feel and realize their SUI
periority over the enemy.
Another sentiment which must be in
culcated into every fighter is a strong
hate for the Boche, a strong desire to
meet him, to fight him and to beat
him.

nQpI Indians.

The first knowledge Of the Hopi In.
dams by Europeans was in July Of
$780,, SOON after Captain General Don
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado had
found the famed golden Seven Cities
of Cibola in the poyerty-stricken pu-
eblos of Zuni. In the summer he sent
westward an exploring party, headed
by Don Pedro de Tovar.
Though the very name Of the tribe,
"Hopitu," means peaceful people," the
Spanish chronicles of their land, known
as the province Of Tusayan, showed
that Of all southwestern Indians they
have resisted encroachmeIt most, and
have, till very lately, generally re.
fused the ministration of Christian
teachers. About the time of the Span
ierds' coming they transferred their
habitations to the mesa tops, wherein
they now live in half dozen villages
to which the women pack water up
steep and rocky trails.

Effect Of Color on Soil.

To test the effect Of color on soil and
on vines, specialist at the expert
mental vineyard in Montpelier, France,
covered the ground with thin layer
of cement, leaving small opening for
each stem, and then painted portions
of the cement white black and red.
Under the black and red the soil tenn
perature rose much higher than I'M
der the white, giving nearly twice as
much growth to the vines. The pro-
ductive soils Of the Midi, it is point
ed out, are mostly reddish. and those
OF the vineyards of the Charentes are
black.

gions, with conditions most serious in

Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula.
ton Is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine Is near. Al
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge

color scheme. for Gardens.

From current articles one might sup
pose the art of making gardens gay
with color in the fall to be something
new. Quite otherwise is the fact, as
one may learn by reading Bacon, par
ticularly the passage: II do hold u
in the Royal Ordering Of Gardens that
there ought to be gardens for all the
months Of the year, in which seyerally
things Of beauty may be there in sea-
son." 1t is quantity put. of course, but
with meaning that is plain. Perhaps
it is true, however, that too little at.
tention has. been given fall gardens In.
America, although the excuse may bs
made that, as here the autumn leaves
and the woodland berries take on SO
fine color, artiticiality becomes vain

Frederick tho Great.

On the seventeenth Of August, 1885,
died the most remarkable sovereign
Prussia has yet produced. Carlyle de-
scribes him as king without the hap
penings: no crown but an old military
hat and not godlike in physiognomy /;
close-shut mouth with thin lips, promi-
nent jaws, with a head Of long form.
His face bore the evidence of many
sorrows and much hard labor, and
seemed to anticipate nothing but much
more to come; snuffy nose rather
flung into the air under its old cooked
hat-like an old snuffy lion on the
watch! and a pair Of eyes as no man,
lion or lynx Of that century bore. He

fBonnie Doom"

Concerning the writing Of Bonnie
Doom" there Is an interesting story.
The heroine Of this song was a Miss
Kennedy Of Dolgarrock, who had been
Tilted by McDougal of Logan. The
young woman Is said to have taken
the affair 80 much to, heart that she
found relief in the quiet waters that
flow through the north country. The
Don is a river Of Scotland In Ayr
Shit, which, after course Of 30 miles,
1aIIis into the Firth Of Clyde. 1t was
on the banks Of this stream, near
"Alloway's auld haunted kirk" that
the poet was born. and naturally he
has made it the scene Of many Of his
poems.
The tune to which Burns wrote the
words Of "Bonnie Doom" was an old
Scottish air called 'The Caledonian
Hearts Delight and an effort has
been made to trace 1t to a still older
Irish air.

How Indians Tell Time at Night.
To ascertain the time at night the
Apache Indians employed gourd on

the order in which the consultations
might be expected to appear.

Julius Caesar 'Timid.

To find julius Caesar applying for
and getting exemption from military
service, as he has done at Spalding, is
something of a shock. But this is one
Of the names which prove that names
are not everything.
The most famous bearer of it-at a
long interval from the great Roman
julius Caesar, the old all-England
crlcketer, was of an extraordinarily
nervous temperament. His colleague,
Calbyn, has told how he was always
afraid to sleep by himself at a strange
hotel for fear somebody might have
died there at. some time.
"Julie" was also in nightly terror Of
fire, would never sleep in room above
the first floor, and often reused Calbyn
at night with cry that the fire had
come at last.-London Chronicle.
