GOOD RECORD IN q B" DRIVE
Official TubercuIIn Testing In octo- Der, 1919, Greater Than Any
 Previous Month.


 More official tuberculin testing of cattle was conducted during October, 1919, than in any previous month of any year, according to a summary just issued by the bureau of animal indus try, United States department of ag- riculture. During the month 57,2TO cattle were tested by state and fed eral veterinarians engaged in co-Op- erative tuberculosis-eradica work. Herds or lots tested numbered 3,251, and the total number of reactors found was 2,821, an average of slight ly less than one reactor for each.
 From the standpoint of the number of animals tested the drive against tuberculosis was most vigorous in Minnesota, where 6,269 cattle under went the test. Vermont was second with 4,035 and Washington third with 3,S55 cattle tested.
 The figures, live stock specialists of the department point out, indicate the nationwide extent of the campaign to stamp out the disease. At the end of October the total number of herds officially accredited as free from tu- berculosis after a number of tests was 1924, more than double the num- Der at the beginning of the year.

seeIno With the Soul.

What you see with your soul helps determine what you are. The mind cannot contemplate visions without re actions. The deeper the vision the more potent the reaeting influence. Only surface men, men of the non thinking type go through life without moments of sober sitting at the shrine of conscience and there weighing the problems of life. When man sees his power and appreciates that every un- used vestige detracts in multiples he seeks to turn 1t to account. And it blesses in proportion to the enthusi- asm with which it is advanced. The good we do returns with greater power when it is done without thought of re- ward We are in the world to make the most of it. We must see the soul if we are to gather the full reward of our possibilities. This is every mans right.-Grit.

Mother otter,s Job.

The young otters-blind and downy are born in soft-lined nest under the shelter of an inaccessible bank i; the mother will at first hardly leave them, save on feverish rushes after the food necessary to keep up the sup ply of milk. To guard them she sleeps. like many a human mother, with at least one ear awake. When they open their eyes she cautiously carries them to bask for a while in the winter sun shine, for their birthdays are often in January. When they can chamber she teaches them the woOdcrafts of the immediate vicinity of the "hoyer," and then communicates many of the yalu- able lessons she has learned, some times taking occasion to punish the unruly members of the family by bit ing them.

Saint Lucy.

Refreshing as a spring on a July noon, lovely as the song of the thrush at the close of a gaudy day. is the life record of Saint Lucy. The dear girl, whose name, from the Latin Qux, lu- cis) means "1ight." was born in Syra- cuse in 304,A. D. Her startling beauty brought mob of suitors at her feet But she had vowed herself to the re- nglous life and declined their ad- dresses. A young nobleman, maddened with love for her, accused her to the governor as professing Christianity. In the fearful persecution under Dioele- tian she was martyred. She is repre- scented in art as holding a platter with her two eyes upon it.-Chicago Jour nal.

CENTER OF MUCH HISTORY
Palace of Versailles Has Figured in Events Which Affected Whole
 Civilized World.

The palace at Versailles ranks among the worlds historic centers where nations made history. There Great Britain first recognized the inde- pendence. of the United States. The French Revolution was given birth when the Third Estate formed a na- tional assembly there William I was crowned German emperor at Versailles while Paris was being besieged, and representatives of the civilized world made peace at this eminent palace with the ''Madman of Europe"
 Versailles became historically great by mere chance. Having first served as a hunting chateau for Louis XIII, it attracted the next Louis, who planned his residence on so large scale that the construction of an. aqueduct engaged 30,O00 men for many years. It later vibrated with the echoes of human dramas, involving the disaster of Louis KY and Marie Antoinette. The unhappy Valliere, the vainglorious Montespan, and the austere Maintenon successively loved, infatuated and exploited Louis at Yer sailles. The brilliant Pompadour and the seductive du Barry shone among the mistresses at the palace, while some 10000 drunken women from, Paris broke through the gates and sent Louis fleeing to the Tuileries.
