SHE UTTERED NO CRITICISM
But Many VIII See Deep Significance
in That Kiss Bestowed by
Minister'S Wife.

Now, everyone knows that the min
ister's wife must not say harsh things
about anyone, no matter how she
thinks. Also that though she be forced
to listen to criticism she herself must
not give any. The other evening an
Indianapolis parsonage woman was Sit
ting on her front porch, when one OF
the young girls of her husbands con-
gregation came to call. Hardly had
she settled herself comfortably before
the young miss began to condemn Wig
orously very parsimonious member
Of the church.
"He wouldn't give cent to recar-
peting the parsonage" stormed the
visitor, yet he had plenty Of money
to buy himself new sevep-passenger
touring car. I just hope that every
time he starts out in 1t he'll have a
puncture."
The minister's wife had only that
morning spent three hard hours mend
ing the old carpet. She didn't say q
word of reproof- merely looked at the
young girl minute and then went
across the veranda and kissed her
cheek.-Indianapolis News.

1ieklIsh Bit Of TunneIins.

A very interesting bit of tunneling
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run in
rock and at one point test holes
showed a thickness Of only eight
inches Of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top Of the tunnel
was to run. AS the tunnel was being
driven without the use Of compressed
air IT. was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
OF rock was passed. The cast iron
lining was set in place at each side
of this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using a
great many holes each loaded with
abopt one-eighth Of stick of dyna-
mite. AS each bit of rock was removed
the arch of the tunnel lining was set
in place. BY this means the dangerous
section was tunneled without breaking
through the thin shell.-Scientihc

England Harbors Ex-oueens.

England will soon be the land Of five
queens, potential and powerful group
either in politics or poker. The figure
resembles q misdeal, but it is ex-
planned by the fact that England has
q queen and queen mother, while
fiere are in England the one-time
queens Of two other countries. They
are soon to be joined by another, EN-
press Marie of Russia. She and the
two other foreign ladies are deep in
unhappiness - three Of the saddest
queens, as an observer has remarked,
In modern history. The two whom
Empress Marie will join are Empress
Eugene and the queen mother of Por-
tugar.
These three women plainly tell the
story of greatness. One of them was
driven from her throne and her son
was killed fighting for another coun-
try; another was exiled after having
been robbed of her husband and son,
and her other son driven from the
throne; the last was widowed and her
son, her grandson and her grand
daughters brutally murdered.

PATRIOTS GET POOR REWARD
British Soldiers Who Won High Dis
tinction Have Right to Com
plain Of Ingratitude.

Attention has been directed to the
hard case of men who won distinction
In the great war, and seem to have
been forgotten, by two dramatic incl
dents. One is the public statement by
Sir Douglas Haig that demobilized
officer who won the v. c., D. S. o.,
and NJ. c., is at present trudging the
streets Of London in search Of work.
. The other is the announcement that
Mr.. Arthur Richings has rejoined the
Cardiff police force as an ordinary
constable, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has just relinquished the army
rank of lieutenant colonel.
The latter's record Is an astounding
one. He Was promoted second lieu
tenant on the field, and his subsequent
promotions were astonishingly rapid.
Mentioned in dispatches three times,
he wears six wound stripes, the Mons
Star, the Croix de Guerre with
palms,, the Military Cross, and is also
Chevalier of the Legion Of Honor.
Perhaps one may be pardoned for
questioning whether there is not some
thing wrong with an army admins
tration which allows man with an
active service record like that to dis
appear into the decent obscurity of
police. constable's tunic. - Montreal

His Desire.

Last autumn Roland was much In
love with his new teacher, and tried to
prove his affection by doing many er-
rands for her. One of them was the
hauling of the fertilizer from his faith

This spring Roland became interest

One day he journeyed to the home OF

GOAT MEAT GOOD AS MUTTON
II Is Said Only Experts Are Able
\, to Tell the Difference Be-
tween the TWO.

There is growing disposition 20
give the goat his due. Heretofore this
rubbish-eating animal has been re-
garded pretty much as joke, but he
has Continued to eat tin ,canS and
thrive until now his race has ac-
quired demonstrating proportions ana
a market has been established in a
middle-western city where surplus
goats will be converted into "spriHg
lamb" for the benefit Of our non-vege-
tarians. AS an additiOp to the poor
mans meat perhaps the goat will be
welcome, especially if his advent tends
to lower the present high prices.
Goat meat tastes much the same as
mutton, ii is claimed, and that the diff
ference cannot be, told save By an ex-
pert. Perhaps that is just as well.
Our imagination has much to do with
our taste Many people are eating
horse meat in this country under the
impression that 1t is beef, for horses
are slaughtered, but almost nowhere
is their meat exposed for sale under
its true name. No doubt the easiest
way for US to get used to goat meat Is
to camouf1age it as mutton. 1t is an
other case Of ignorance being bliss.
But, as we are assured by the ex-
perts that 1t is wholesome, name
will not make much difference in the
end. Mutton, the world oyer, has been
the poor mans meat. If goat meat
can add to the supply, so much the
better. The meat Of goats was
favorite in the days of the patriarchs.
1t is still highly priced in the East.
There seems to be no reason why 1t
should not ultimately hold respect
able place on our menus.

Breeding Makes No difference.

It has been claimed by lovers of do
mestic cats that highly bred members
Of the species do not engage in hunt
ing insectivorous and song birds. A
few days ago city gardener captured
a handsome cat in the act Of killing
young robin which had just left its
nest near his house. He, did not. kill
the bird hunter, under the authority
recently granted by the Conservation
Commission, but took the animal and
its victim to the home of the cats
owner. There he learned that the cat
was a highly priced ribbop-taker; and
the owner was indignant at its cap
ture.-Rochester Democrat and Chron-
icle.

Doing Him a Favor.

When my cousin, newly commits
stoned, was sent to Camp Grant he
found himself in command Of lot Of
draft men drawn mainly from our
slum district. One in particular took
quite fancy to him and never lost
chance of doing him favor.
One day after the man had been
in camp only a week or so he ran
breathlessly up to my cousin, who was
in the far end of trench. He re-
membered to salute after fashion,
then stood plainly trying to think what
to do next. Finally he burst out,
"Beat 1t, mister, while de COINS good.
De boss is after youse, and gosh, he's
sore"
The colonel was at the other end Of
the trench calling for the officer In
charge.-Chicago Tribune.

YOUNG HEROES AT OXFORD
Many Customs and Traditions of the
University Are Likely to Seem
Tame to Them.

The returning hero, fresh fpom battle
fields, will no longer rush to the
cricket fields and the river at Oxford
with the zest of young barbar;ans at
their play. observes a writer in ;he
Nation Uondon). To one who may
wear the ribbon OF the Military Cross
or the D. s. O.. the position of his COL
lege boat in the eights can no longer
seem the one matter Of life and death,
pand even the halo of a goal shines
with diminished glory.
So, too, in lesser pursuits. How
shall he dwell upon the squabbles Of
compartments in ancient Greece, when
he himself has motored from Salonih
to- Athens in day, and on to Sparta
in the next? Or what will he feel
when questioned on his fading men,
cries of the irregular verbs? Probably
most public school boys are haunted
to old age by dream-a terrible
nightmare-of being put on" by the
old headmaster when they have not
taken the trouble to prepare line OF
the passage. 1t makes no difference
that they are more than 80 and the
headmaster has long been dead. The
horror of the situation remains ap-
palling, and the dream is far more
frequent than any of Freud's imag-
mary perversions.
The feeling Of the soldier returning
to the class and lecture room Will be
much the same, with sense Of futil-
ity added. For, indeed, 1t is impossi-
BILE to go back in life and second child
hood is not like the first. Little VIC
tins play regardless Of their doom,
but not men who have known what
doom can do.

IS LARGEST OF INDUSTRIES
statisticians Figure In Billions When
They Make Computations OF
- Live Stock Business.

The livestock industry is the larg-
est and, in more than one sense,
the most important industry in the
United States. Its extent, measured
by the value of live animals, amounts
to more than $s,0O0,0O0,OO0. Its i'm
portance rests In the necessity for
live stock to consume the products of
farms and ranges, so per cent of which,
according to census reports, is fed to
live stock; In the maintenance Of soil
fertility, which cannot be kept up con-
tinuously and economically without a
considerable number Of animals as
part Of the farm system; in the In
dispensable place which animal food
occupies In the American diet, OF
which 1t makes up 3S per cent, based
on the average consumers food-ex-
pense account; and finally, in the far
reaching influence which the growing,
fattening and marketing of live stock
has upon the social and economic well
fare of all classes of people, including
producers, distributors, and the meat
consuming public.
The slaughtering and meat pack
Ing business is the largest manufac-
turing industry in the United States,
according to the United States census
OF manufacturers. The sales Of live
stock In the Chicago market alone to-
tailed nearly s1.0O0,O00,0O0 in 1918, or
over $3,OO0,096 a day, and the daily
sales at all of the centralized live stock
markets Of this country total close to
&20,000O00.

Gen. Coleman Dupont and 25 Of the
latter's friends, because Of difference

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY
American Genius Quickly Produced
Precision Blocks Accurate to
MiIIionth Part cf Inch.

One of Americas littleknown war
romances is revealed by John II. Van
Deventer in his story Of precision
! gauges, which appears in Everybody's.
Virtually all of our munitions had to
be made to limit gauges which had to
be corrected by means of precision
blocks to within a few millionths of
an inch. Twenty years ago." writes
Mr.. Van Deventer, "a Swedish tool
maker named Johansson made up his
mind that the millionth of an inch was
the coming thing-hunted during nine
years for a practical way to get 1t
and got it. How? Nobody knows ex-
cept Johansson, and he won't tell.
For over nine years he kept everybody
guessing. Our best shops imported
his blocks and used them for check
ing the gauges.
"Then came the war, with its won
derful stimulation Of American ge-
MUS. With 1t came also the need OF
being independent of the old world
In the matter Of gauges.
'The war took E. G. Peck away
from his job of running a great fac
tory In Cleveland and brought him
to Washington to take charge Of the
gauging Of ordnance products. 1t
Brought William E. Hoke of st. Louis
to the bureau Of standards, with an
idea of how to produce precision
blocks. Colonel Peck and Major Hoke
got together, and in six months were
turning out precision blocks accurate
sso~the rniiffontt part of an inch"

When the dry law went into effect
and Chicago's 5000 saloons went out
Of business, 1t ended the career OF
Chicago's oldest saloon which was es-

that time the business has passed

days. The city had about 5000 inhab-

the Holy Writ, For after that in the
wisdom OF God the world by wisdom
knew not God, II pleased God through
the foolishness of preaching TO save
them that believe" II seems II should

your active and cultivated minds
the danger for getting the Best.

Is then the love OF God should be

You should remember the Lord
