due to epidemic and other diseases, priva-
ton, hardship, physical exhaustion, and
similar causes; and thirdly, potential
loss of 20 million lives due to the de-
creased birth frequency below that which
occurred under normal conditions before
the war. The adult male population in
many European countries has been re-
duced by from IA to 20 per cent. The
figures of Alonzo Taylor show us that
there are between so to 80 million people
in Europe who have lost their prewar oc
cupations owing to the fact that the mar
kets, for their products no longer exist,
having been changed or taken away from
them by other countries. Many of these
people have or soon will become refugees
in Europe, among which class of people
not only poverty and hardship, but also
disease always reigns, resulting in high
increase in death rate and decrease in
birth rate.-Richard p. Strong, NJ. d., tn

REPUTATION

There are both good and bad reputa
tions. A bad reputation to have is one
that is so good that you are afraid to lose
it for another. 1t is bad thing for
man to have reputation which is like
plaster cast which he dare not break,
and from which he cannot escape. Many
men are trying to live within the repute
they won 20 years ago, afraid to close a
reputation" which probably fitted them
then but which is mis6t now. No man
ever Closes his reputation;" he simply gets
another one. 1t ought to be better one.
In any case, Reputation is only the pro-
lection on the public imagination of Il
picture which may be true or false. The
real likeness is found in Character

WATERLOO

The battle surged back and forth across
the valley and up the hillsides with great
violence. The farmhouse of La Haye
Sainte, in front of the British center, was
taken and retaken three times. AS the
fighting progressed the advantage was
more and more with Wellington and
Blucher. AT length the Old Guard, the
flower of Napoleon's veterans made final
stand near La Belle Alliance, but the
casualties were so heavy that they were
obliged to give way before the furious
onslaught of the English. AT eight o'clock
as the last rays of the setting sun appeared
through rift in the clouds, Napoleon's
power was ended.
Wellington's losses were $4,000, and
Blucher's 1000, while Napoleon lost 40,-
900 men, more than half his army.
Visitors to the famous battlefield often
express surprise that so little evidence re-
mains that a titanic conflict had once
rocked those hills and re-echoed through
the valleys. But it must be remembered
that it was purely open warfare. There
were no earthworks, Notifications or
trenches and so there was almost nothing
about the physical features of the battle
that could be expected to endure.

MYSTERY OF GREAT LAKES

Why does the water in the great lakes
that lie between large portion of the
United States and Canada rise and fall
in periods which average seven years?
This natural phenomenon has been puz-
ze since the days when France held sway
in Canada 200 years ago.
In an unpublished diary of an English
traveller who voyaged up the St. Lawrence
river to Niagara, Ontario, in the summer
of 1885, is the following reference to this
mystery of the waters: "A remarkable
circumstance was told me by Mr.. Pansee,
our conductor, who had been constantly
engaged in this navigation for nearly
twenty years, and which he advised me
is matter of fact both from his own OBJ
servation and that of the oldest inhabi-
tant. Each year the St. Lawrence river
settles or falls little until the seventh
year, when it is visible that it has sunk
between three and four feet, and then for
the next seven years it continues to rise
in the same proportion. The river is at
this time at its greatest elevation Uuly 1,
1889. l took pains to gain some infor
nation of this uncommon phenomenon. l
find that the lakes have the same appear
ance."
Careful government records were be-
gun about the year 1920 and since then
it has been found that the periods be-
tween high and low water are sometimes
as high as nine years, although they aver
age seven years. This year the water is
again at its lowest in the lakes and river,
and freight carriers are having trouble in
various harbors.-Selecfed

for in those days the voter and the cam
paign manager had not come into their
own. The choosing of a president was
partyless, campaignless and-so far as
most of the "men in the street" were con-

saved voters from the bother of casting
ballots by appointing electors and the lat

THE WARS TOLL: 43,OOOOOO LIVES

A study of the different statistics of the
actual and potential loss of life due to the
recent war reveals the fact that about
forty-three million lives have been lost to
the world either directly from the war or
from causes induced by it. These losses
are made up of, first, approximately thir-
teen million deaths which occurred in the
military service; secondly, surplus NOR
tality above that which occurred in nor
NAL times in the civilian populations
amounting to approximately 10 million,
