President In Name ONLY.

NJ. Millerand's election as President
of France brings to the fore a long dis
cussed proposal to amend the cOnsti-
tuition of that country so as to make
the President an important force in the
government instead of restricting him,
as at present, to the merely decorative
functions of a titular ruler.
NJ. Millerand has long advocated
such a change, and has been elected on
that platform, remarks the Living
Age The Socialists and radicals pro-
fess to be alarmed by this new devel-
opment, alleging that it represents a
reactionary drift toward monarchy
Some color may have been given to
this claim by the fact that the ultra
conservative and royalist press of
France has been most enthusiastic for
the change.
1t will be recalled that the President
of France is not elected directly by the
whole people, but by the 900 members
of parliament. He does not therefore,
represent the immediate will of the
nation in the same way as the Ameri-
can President. Presumably an enlarge
ment of the powers of the President
will carry with it a change in the
method by which he is chosen.

Buckwheat and Cakes.

Even though there is great satisfac
ton at the breaking of five crop records
in the United States this year, many
an American must heave a sigh as he
reads that the buckWheat crop has
never exceeded the production of 1866
and that this season it is 100000
bushels below the top yield of that
year Who does not know that the de-
cline of the buckwheat cake as the
backbone of hearty breakfast is the
cause of the falling off?
The buckwheat cake was once an
American institution. 1t followed the
pioneer from the Atlantic coast into
the depths of the Middle West. It's
allies were home made sauSageS and
sugar-house syrup. 1t held the lines
from early November until the sap be-
gan to run in the spring. Then there
followed plentiful doses of sulphur
and mOlasses to rid the blood of i'm
purities supposed to be the result of
buckwheat's heating qualities. But
who cared? Wasn't the kind of cakes
that mother used to bake on the soap
stone griddle worth even such price?

system of Checks and Balances

According to the Export Trade and
Exporters Review, this is the way
they cash a check in Greece:
The check is presented to the teller.
Endorsement is made in his presence.
He makes out several copies of re-
ceiptS for the amount, which receive
payee'S signature. A bronze disk
bearing a number is then presented to
the payee, who waits his turn. The
writing on the check is now compared
with the filed signature. If the check
is on another bank this bank is called
by telephone or a messenger sent and
the check verified. The check next
goes to the boOkkeeper, where the de-
positOr's balance is brought forward
and records made. An auditor is
called and checks all proceedings as
they are made. The customers num-
Der is then called and the customer
presents his disc, Identifies the check,
verifies his signature on the receipts,
and receives the cash.
They fear the Greeks bearing

Ace of Earth Incalculable.

Astronomy gives little hint of the
age of the earth. 1t is presumed that
our family of worlds came from
much older cloud of nebula, but when
it is attempted to express the time
in years from that era to this. the
figures are meaningless; they are so
vast. The remotest period of time
which geology reveals shows the earth
to all intents the same as it is today.
with the exception of the higher forms
of life. That era was million of mil
lion years ago. and in proportion to
the history of our globe from it's gen.
esis it was hardly more than a few
minutes in one day of time.

Zinc in the Human Body.

In his researches at the Pasteur in
stitute in Paris Prof. Delezenne has
discovered, according to the Scientific
American Monthly, that zinc is an es-
sential and permanent constituent of
the human body. The metal exists in
all organs, although in rather small
percentage, about 0.OOO1 by weight
The weight is variable, the highest
proportion being found in the nervous
centers; for example, in the brain or
the thymus. When it is remembered
that the chemical operations of nutri-
ton are also connected with the trans
formation of the nucleic acids, it
seems probable, that zinc is one of the
most necessary agents in the growth of
the body.

Leather From Rabbit Skins.

According to American Consul Nor
ton of Sydney, Australia, a secret
process, said to be unknown hitherto
to the tannery trade, has been discov-
cred by an Australian for making
leather from rabbit skins and recover
ing the fur as a by-prOduct in felt
making. A company has been formed
in Sydney to turn this discovery to
practical use, having established
works capable of handling about 1OO,-
900 skins week. The leather has
already been utilized in Sydney in the
manufacture of boot and shoe uppers,
hand bags, gloves and other articles.

CHURCH A REFUGE
PeWS of London Edifice Made In
to Sleeping Places.
All Who Faced Night in the Streets
Made Welcome at Old ST. Mar
tin'S-in-the-Fields.

st. Martin s-in-the- Fields = always
during the last war years, and now.
a place of midnight shelter for people
stranded in London streets-was a ha-
ven to some of the mothers who had
come from distant towns to attend the
ceremonies in memory of the unknown
soldier dead, and to soldiers who 9TH
erwise must have tramped the streets,
says a writer in the Manchester Guard
ian.
Long before midnight they began to
come. In the light of the Pickering
candles on the white altar and the
few lights shining on the white ceiling
of the gallery one saw two or three
well-dressed women sitting in the pews
on one side and two or three men on
the other and wondered whether it
were worth while keeping the church
open and two policewOmen in attend
ance for so few wanderers. But the
sound of heavy breathing, SO loud in
the silence, did not come from them,
nor was the lad in khaki who lay
asleep in the bottom of pew, his head
resting on a hassOck, responsible.
Tiptoeing down the long aisle to the
end, where man knelt in prayer be-
fore the wreath of palms entwined
with crimson ribbon, which was to go
to the cenOtaph, one found that there
were SleeperS on the seats of nearly
every pew. Occasionally they wax
ened and peered sleepily over the back
IF no
Then they sank to rest again, while
the stranger, after a few hesitant min
utes sitting bolt upright as if at a serv-
ice, disappeared from sight and soon
was fast asleep.
The pOlcewomen kept unobtrusive
watch. Where they saw a man sleep
ing on the floor they woke him, remind
ing him that he must lie on the seat.
The man in shirtsleeves was told to
put on his coat; the man who for a
second time had Gisregarded the order
to put on his boots and who had rolled
under the seat had to leave the church.
The discipline of the shelter is slight,
but it must be Obeyed.
After midnight young woman from
Lancashire came IN, carrying neaVy
child. She said that all day she had
sought in vain for lodgings. No one
| would take her in because of the baby,
| and at last kindly policeman had
sent her here. AS she sat there hold
| ing the child her shoulders moved un-
easily. One saw that she had come to
| the end of her endurance and a pO-
| licewOman, folding a thick coat, made
| up a bed on the pew for the preternat-
| uralIy well-behaved child Then the
| mother went to sleep, secure of shelter
| till five in the morning, when the wait
| ing rooms at Charing Cross would be
open to her The older women, the
| mothers of soldiers, glanced around
| from time to time, but were evidently
| determined not to yield to their ia
tigue. They would sit the night
| through. The rules are simple. PEG
| ple are allowed to make use of the
| church for one night. In case of emer
| gency a second visit may be allowed
| but no more.

Small Farms IN the Barbados.

There are nearly 10000 peasant pro-
prietors in Barbados owning five acres
or less, the great majority having not
more than half an acre. They usually
work as laborers on the estates in adj
dition to farming their little plots OF
land 1t is stated that il black man
has as much as one acre of land he
can make a living out of it. A large
number also rent little plots of land
from the big estates. Barbadoans
produce more than enough tropical
vegetables to supply their own wants
and export some to Trinidad. Sea
island cotton is successfully grown.

Mother.

When Eve was brought unto Adam,
he became filled with the Holy Spirit,
and gave her the most sanctified, the
most glorious of appellations. He
called her Eve-that Is to say, the
Mother of AL, He did not style her
wife, but simply mother-mOther of
all living creatures. In this consists
the glory and the most precious or
nament of woman.-Martin Luther
