Mutual Difficulty.

Mrs. Stuart Menzies, in Sportsmen
Parsons, tells an amusing story Of a
cleric, famed alike as a hard rider
to hounds and performing scholar,
who was one day performing a christ
ening ceremony.
Owing to the mothers faulty pro-
nunciation OF the aspirate he could
not make out, writes Mrs. Menzies,
whether the child's name was to be
Anna or Hannah, so, STOPPING, he
asked her quietly, "How do you spell
it?"
To this the mother, in an enbar-
raised and confidential whisper, re-
piled: "Well, amt no schollard,
neither, sir"
She was evidently, adds Mrs. Men,
zies, surprised at his ignorance.
Fancy his having to ask her how to
spell!

English women have appealed to
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to get in
touch with the spirits Of the victims
oil the many unsolved murders which
have lately occurred in England.
Thus il is aimed 20 bring the guilty TO
account and at the same time to prove
the genuineness OF spiritualism's
claim TO be able to purge the world.
The great crime wave spreading
over England has left in its wake an
appalling number OF murders which
have dehed solution. The request is
not made IN the spirit OF challenge,
but is rather a heartfelt appeal from
the women on account Of the constant
y increasing attacks and murders
in which the victims are mostly women
and girls.
The number of unidentified murder
ers and desperate criminals known 10
be at large is causing the most wide.

many women are even afraid to travel

One woman, travelling from Teisn.
mouth to London with some valuable
old jewelry, purposely avoided enter
ing an empty compartment, and final
ly selected one in which one man and
two women were seated. The con-
versation turned on perfumes and one
woman produced a bottle ostensibly
in order to obtain the opinion OF her
fellow-traveler on its merits as a
scented water.
The woman carrying the jewelry
smiled the bottle and next she knew
she was being shaken by a porter in
the station at London. Her iewelry
and her companions had gone.
The police being unable to protect
them, many women are carrying re-
volvers as matter OF self-preserva

A patriot Of Missouri ran for Office and
turned in the following report of what
it cost him to get elected:
"Lost i,349 hours sleep thinking
about the election. Lost two front
teeth and lot of hair in a personal
encounter with an opponent. Donated
one beef, four shoats and FIVE sheep

A Dog Of Napoleon's Day.

Doubtless the most famous prede-
cessor OF the gallant and useful war
dogs of the great war-so many killed,
so many wounded, so many decorated,
and humanity proud Of their medals -
was Moustache, a dog Of France, who
earned his honors and met his fate
over century ago in the wars Of Ma
poleon.
Moustache belonged to the Chas
seurs a Pied Of the Imperial Guard.
whom he had adopted as his pro-
tectors, coming among them first as a
masterless mongrel poodle pup, of
neither birth, nor breeding, nor
beauty, but trimming with spirit and
intelligence. He soon became a fav-
orite with everyone, but especially
with the standard bearer of the First
Battalion, whose affection he recip
rocated. In the battle OF Austerlitz
the standard bearer was shot, and fell
with the eagle and tricolor beneath
his body. Three Austrians advanced
to capture the standard as il lay; two
OF them attacked the two soldiers who
had formed the special escort OF the
standard bearer; the third tried to take
the trophy. But Moustache, who had
accompanied his friend to the field.
stood over his dead body and defended
his trust, growing and swapping
hercely. The Austrian dropped his
musket, drew his hanger and slashed
at the dog, slicing of a paw; but in
spite of his wound Moustache held the
man of until help came, the three
Austrians were slain, and the stand
ard was saved.
Marshal Lannes, when he heard the
story, had silver collar made for
Moustache, with pendant medal.
One side bore the inscription:
HE lost leg at the battle OF Aus
terlitz, and saved the flag of his reg.
iment."
On the other was inscribed:
"Moustache, a French dog; let him
be everywhere respected and cherish
ed as hero"
Still gallant and active on his three
legs, Moustache shared the campaigns
OF his regiment until he met in the
end, as was fitting, a soldiers death.
He was killed by a cannon ball at Bad
ajox. With sincere grief, his COM
rades buried him on the ramparts.
with a stone above his curly little
quiet body, on which one Of them
chiseled his epitaph:
Here's lies the brave Moustache -"

Villages VIII Never Be Built

Fifteen villages in the Aisne dis
trict in France, destroyed by war, will
never be rebuilt. There are II towns
IN the Marine district which will be
abandoned, and probably 100 in all OF
France. For many years, at least, the
soil on which the villages stood will
not even be titled. 1t will become a
permanent no mans land.
According to government advices,
the sites of these villages are too dan
gerous to be used again. In order to
avoid loss Of life the government has
purchased the land on which - vii
lagos stood and will keep possession
OF il until il can be made safe.
These sites are the ones often
fought over, on which the ground has
been turned over and over again,
burying explosives Of all kinds to I'M
known depths. There is no trace of
buildings left in the Is villages, so the
refugees faced more than the usual
hardships. They returned, however.
and lived in the worst makeshift caves
and dugouts.
Only signs maintained by the gov
eminent will mark the sites OF the viii
lagos, warning people Of the lurking
dangers.

Americas churches have gained
nearly 100000 members since the
last church census was taken in 1910,
but there has been a marked decrease
in the number Of Sunday schools and
Sunday school pupils, according to
the Year Book Of the Churches, which
was issued today by the Federal Coun-
Gil OF the Churches in Christ in Amer
lea.
The total church membership has
increased 2,779,667, the announce
ment says, with an increase Of 3,5le
ministers and $3.50 church organiza-
tons. The total number of churches
is now 233,s34. There are 1858
ministers, priests, and rabbis, with
44,1Oe,52l members of their various
organizations. The decrease in Sun,
day school membership is estimated
at more than 3,50OOOO
The total Protestant church mem.
bership is given at 25,eso,456, and the
Roman Catholic figures at l7,549,324
It is explained that the Protestant
figures include only adult communi-
cant members Of family, while the
Roman Catholics statistics represent
the entire family. Estimating four
persons to family, the Protestant
constituency would be more than So
100000, the book says.
The largest Protestant body report

is the second largest Protestant or

Floating kidney.

BY the term floating kidney, or NOV
able kidney, is meant a condition in
which the tissues surrounding the kid
neys no longer keep them both in
their proper positions, which are be-
hind the last ribs, one on each side OF
the spinal column. Usually one kid
ney only, and that the right, is thus
affected, although both may be, es-
pecially in the distressing cases in
which all or almost all of the OBJ
dominal organs are involved in a gen
eral relaxed condition Women are
believed TO suffer from floating kidney
more often than men, and the trouble
begins most commonly in the third
fourth or fifth decade Of life-say be-
tween the ages of twenty-five and
forty-five years.
The kidneys in health rest upon a
bed OF muscular tissus> that runs
down on each side OF, and is attached
TO, the anterior surface of the spinal
column, and they are held in place
by masses Of soft fat, sheets Of fibrous
tissue and the arteries and veins tina
go in and come out from the concave
side Of the organs. They are also
supported by the pressure Of the large
intestine in front.
A kidney may be loosened from
these not very secure supports by a
jolt OF any kind, such as fall, a blow
in the back, or a severe cough. Tight
lacing used TO be regarded as a fire.
quent cause Of floating kidney, but
since il has gone out of fashion il is
not so much of factor nowadays.
Any wasting disease, such as tubercu-
losis, that tends to absorb the bed of
fat surrounding the kidney will make
it more liable to be displaced.
In many cases there are no dis
tinctive symptoms Of floating kidney
OF moderate degree, or even OF con.
siderable extent; in other cases very
pronounced symptoms accompany a
very slightly movable kidney. The
usual symptoms are a persistent, dull,
aching pain in the back over the
region of the kidney or over the region
OF the stomach, which sometimes ex-
tends into the groin; but sometimes il
is so sharp as to suggest renal collie.
The severe pain may come in attacks
accompanied by chils and vomiting.
The patients digestion is usually very
poor, and constipation is liable to be
troublesome.
The treatment in floating kidney IS
by pads or special corsets or belts de-
signed TO keep the wandering organ
in its place; but when these fail, as
they often do, the surgeon must fasten
the kidney to the muscular mass on
which it rests.
