Mark Twain's Toast to "Babies."

Responding to the toast of Babies"
at the memorial Chicago banquet in
honor of General Grant in 1879. Mark
Twain concluded with a sentence that
set the gathering in an uproar. In his
inimitable drawing voice he said:
sIn his cradle, somewhere under the
flag. the future illustrious commander
in-chief of the American armies is so
little burdened with his approaching
grandeurs and responsibilities as to
be giving his whole strategic mind, at
this moment, to trying to find some
way to get his own big toe into his
mouth, an achievement which (mean-
ing 20 disrespect) the illustrious guest
of this evening also turned his atten-
ton to some ffty-six years ago. And
if the child Is but the father of the
man there are mighty few who will
doubt that he succeeded"
At that conclusion the audience
broke into cheers and roars Of laugh
ter in which even the reserved Grant
joined.

Rare Books Price.

Collectors of rare books and manu-
scripts were very much interested in
the announcement that a first edition
of Shakespeare's works. published in
1923, was sold at auction in London a
few weeks ago for 1.150 pounds ster-
ling The volume is said to be in ex-
celient condition. though the binding is
considerably worn.
THIS costly book has increased in
price by bounds. At the beginning OF
the eighteenth century the volume was
bought for FIVE pounds from a book
dealer. In 1900 il was valued at fifty
pounds, and in the year 1890 24O
pounds was paid for it. This was a
record price until 1899. when it's value
again increased. The indications are
that with the years the price Of 1,150
pounds will again be advanced. as the
value of the volume will be more and
more enhanced as time passes.

THIS CAT ExPEaT ANGLEE
EnoIish Writer Tells of Feline That
Catches Fine Trout Without
Bait or Line.

Cats have q passion for fish and
will hover about room plaintively
mewing long after the piscine sub
stance has gone and only the smell
is left: but it is not generally known
that they are expert anglers. says a
writer in the Family Journal Qon-
DOM. A Hampshire sportsman whose
garden bordered on well-Stocked
stream stated that his cat takes more
trout out of it than he does. All fish
love to bask in the sun and. taking
advantage OF this on fine summer
days. Mr. Tom lies in ambush. con-
cealed in the reedy grass bordering
some bright pebbly shallow. He needs
neither rod nor line; unlimited pa
tience is his whole stock in trade. Not
move does he make. his quivering
tail merely rustling the slender bents
as if stirred with the gentlest south
ern breeze. Presently there is a
splash and founder. and fine. fat
trout. bursting with condition. comes
Tapping up to the shallow for its
morning sun bath. For an instant
only it lies there contentedly gasping
in the soft. warm air, but in that in.

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CARD
It Is Said to Have Sprung From
"Schoo, Pieces" Of Middle OF
Nineteenth Century.

The Christmas card is the legitimate
descendant of the school pieces or
Christmas pieces" which were popu-
lar from the beginning to the middle
of the nineteenth century. These we're
sheets of writing paper. sometimes sur
rounded with those hideous and elab-
crate pen flourshes forming birds,
scrolls. ETC., so unnatural!y dear TO the
hearts of writing masters, and some
times beaded with copper plate engrav-
ingS, plain or colored- These were
used by schooiboys at the approach OF
the holidays for carefully written let
ters exploiting the progress they had
made in composition and chirography.
Charity boys were large purchasers OF
these pieces. says one writer. and at
Christmas time used to take them
around their parish to show and at the
same time solicit a trifle.
The Christmas card proper had its
tentative origin in 1854. Joseph Gun
dali. a London artist. claims to have
issued the first in that year. 1t was
printed in lithography. colored by hand
and was OF the usual size Of lady's
card.
Not until 1862, however. did the Gus
tom obtain any foothold. Then expert
ments we're made with cards Of the
size of an ordinary carte de yiste, in
sribed simply "a Merry Christmas"
and "A Happy New Year." After that
came to be added robins and holly
branches, embossed figures and land
Tscnpes.

HeaIth and Height Count.

Every flying man in the United
States air service has to undergo
strict medical test periodically in Or
der that he may be classified in one Of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet. "a" men can stand
the strain between $1,000 and 10000
feet, while the "B'' class consists OF
pilots for duties between 5000 and
$4,000 feet. and the "C' group includes
all airmen fit only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet. 1t has
been found that airmen of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any
length of time. Hence the frequent
medical examinations, carried out by
experts who have drawn Up a care

NEVER DEleN TO EXPLAIN
japanese Have a Peculiar Philosophy
Which Westerners Find 1t Rather
Hard to Understand.

Philadelphia lady, now resident in
Japan. has written to friend in her
home city q letter which the Public
Ledger reproduces in part. because it
is $50 fine in its reading from within
of the japanese nation and nature"
Mrs. Nitobe says:
81 am hoping that the light may
soon dawn upon the uniformed mind
OF America in reference to the true
thought of Japan.
''It is part Of the Samurai training
not to explain. IF you are wrong,
show that you acknowledge your err
for by changing your conduct. No
amount of explanation can set the
wrong right. If you are right and your
accuser is mistaken, time will make
manifest the justice Of your cause
This Is the underlying thought Of this
particular teaching. 1t is, believe,
often carried too far-certainly. it may
prove misleading to an impatient west
erner, and Go not hesitate to say that
] have at times resented the situation
It has created.
.On the other hand. it is impossible
to bare ones soul TO the unsympathet-
ic or curiously minded.

ing knows that. and the japanese are
singularly sensitive to a sympathetic

Kino Johns Bath.

AS to the washing habits of royalty
In former times, there is one thing, at
least, to be remembered to King
Johns credit. His accounts show that
that constantly travelling king nearly
always had a bath at his resting
places during his journeys.
His "water man" could generally
reckon upon getting the bath fee Of
fivepence. For to our early king, as
to the modern sojourners in most ho-
tells, bath was officially accounted
as an extra, to be paid for as such.
The royal water man obtained his
special fee every time his majesty de-
manded bath-except upon the three
great church festivals. = London

When Did Civil War End?

Ask anybody the date of the Civil
wars end. The answer will invariably
be: "April, 1865" But. in a literal
sense, that answer is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the pe-
riod designated in the proclamation Of
the president of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2, 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
q formal conclusion on that date, not
I'm April Of 1865.
"Up to and before that date" tApril
2, 1866, says Secretary Of State Bay

those (the confederate) states was held
to exist. After that date it was held
to be at an end"

IN SHEER CRUELTY
Boches Operated on Prisoners
Without AnestheticS.
Ample Proof That There Was No
Shortage of Medical Supplies Is
Evidence of Fiendshness
of Hun Surgeons.

British prisoner taken near st.
Quentin in March said that all amputa-
tion; in Germany were being done
without anesthetics. owing to alleged
shortages of them. A correspondent
writes:
.'On the day that the prince of Wales
entered Denain and attended the sery-
ice of thanksgiving in the church there
| fingered behind after all the cere-
mories were over and talked with the
inhabitants. They had been badly
treated. They were full of the stories
of their legitimate woes. One old man
said to me:
'M'sieu should see the English doc
tor. He knows!
II saw him. He was major in
charge of Canadian field ambulance.
When l found him. in the huge build
ing which he had transformed into
hospital. he was busy experimenting
the treatment of women and pitiful lit
tie children who had been gassed by
the Boches in defiance of all the laws
of humanity. There was one little fel-
low bowling with terror. He did not
wish to remain with the military. He
had only known the German soldier!
"'Well, then take him away, poor
little chap said the major. Bring him
back three times a day to be dressed.
'Then the major and talked Of the
successful Canadian attack and Of the
condition of the town when.it had been
taken. 1t was not pretty story. 1t
was. in fact, terrible indictment
against the Boche.
"'They starved the civilians. The
only meat they gave them in three
years was three dead mules. And all
the time their own officers were living

land their other supplies? Your
line. for instance-medical supplies?
"The major laughed.
Come with me- he said, and I'll
show you a field medical cart that we
captured just as they were driving 1T
off. 1t is one of the most wonderful
things have ever SEEN
1--WE went into the transport yard
and here we found something like
Scotch cart with a closed-in top, bear
ing the Red Cross on it's sides. The
major let down the back flap and we
saw series of drawers, like an en-
larged card-index file cabinet. He
pulled one out.
"Look at that he said. There you
have most of the drugs we have been
short of for months-and have them
in profusion. Morphia, ehloroform-
anything you like. 1t is the most per-
feet thing of its kind have ever seen.
You could sell that carts cargo in Eng
land for its weight in gold. 1t con-
tains some of the most valuable and
rarest synthetic drugs in the world. 1t
is treasure trOve. :. Like souVe-
mir? Here, then--here's case OF
oozen pnials of morphine-or chloro-
form-or antipyrin.'
THAT was in a field medical cart!
If such supply of rare drugs could
be sent up practically to the front
line, what must the German have had
in his rear hospitals? What, then. can
be his excuse for amputating the limbs
of our wounded prisoners without
anesthetics? Can it have been any
thing but wanton cruelty?

STREET PAVING REPORT


Couneilmen L. A. Vaughan and S
NJ. Nash returned yesterday from
Macon, Ga, Atlanta and Birmingham
where they made personal inspection.
Of coacrete paving.
They were favorably impress
ed with the results of their investi-
cations and they are confirmed in the
opinion that concrete paving is the
most durable and most satisfactory
from every stand point
They made the trip 50 that they
might be in position to act intelli-
gently when the matter of deciding
the method of street paving in Col
umbus comes before the council this
week.
Mr.. Vaughan stated that Macon
had laid 10 miles of concrete paving
and that the citizens and officials
of that city would have nothing else.
The city had experimental with all
kinds of paving previously and the
results attained from concrete were
so satisfactory that it is the policy
of the city to use concrete exclusi-
vely in both the business and residen-
tial sections.
The councilmen stated that the en-
gineer at Macon who is the best ex-
pert in the country on concrete paw
ing, would be sent to Columbus for
a few days in the event this council
here decided upon concrete paving.
1t is expected that the council will
act the matter this week.
