Somewhat Over-ParticuIar,

Some of the British miners families were very particular during the coal strike. In a certain mining village of North Ayrshire, where the strikers children were being fed by the sub scriptions which their parents extorted from the rest of the community, 1t was found that at the midday meal about 70 per cent of the children refused to take the soup which was offered to them, saying that they preferred bread Tor tea. The authorities, realizing that they were catering for very eXacting clientele, knew better than to take Of fense at this rebuff and announced that tea would be served at 5 o'clock, .whereupon one starving child ex- claimed: "That's nae guid tae me i; ma music lessons at fve!"

Doos Trained to smuagIe.

The Franco-Belgian frontier has long been a happy hunting ground of the smuggler, both amateur and pro- fessional. In the customs museum at Lille is a collection of exhibits which give a vivid idea of the tricks em- pIoyed by smugglers.
 There are chairs, brushes, pitch forks, masons' hods, widows mourn ing bonnets, wheelbarrows, saws and boots, all hollowed out for slowing away tobacco. There are stacks of government papers concealed in zinc tobacco receptacle, hollow roulette wheels in which coffee was smuggled, and workmen's drinking cans with only a few inches of liquor in little vessel beneath the cork, the rest of the can being intended for tobacco.
 There are numerous examples of spiked armor, spiked collars and har- ness furnished with number of sharp spears, worn by the dogs trained to dash across from Belgium at night, and thus protected against the GUS toms dogs trained to chase them.

RYAN THE MORE EMOTIONAL
Mrs. Carrie Chapman catt contradicts Opinion Long Held as to
 Qualities of Sexes.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi- dent of the International Equal Suf- frage association, has a theory that men are more emotional than women, In illustration of which she tells the following story, according to the New York Sun:
 "I once visited a small village in New England which was bordered by a small river, so that farmers coming into the village from either way had to ford the stream. -
 "Year after year the town meeting debated laying a bridge over the stream, but it was always decided that local finances would not stand the additional strain of the necessary tax, and that the farmers would just have to wait until the stream got low in the spring and then ford, as usual.
 "One year, shortly after this annual decision. an elderly village pauper died. He was a veteran of the Civil war, but the village folk had never paid any attention to him in his life. They had never tried to find out what they could do to help him to better way of life nor contributed in any way to his well-being. However, as soon as he died, the town began to have a tender conscience about the manner of his burial. They were unwilling that the man they had neg lected all his life should have pauper burial. So they tried to hire hNn fIsnr rriu him what they call a christian burial. Not being able to hire a hearse, they decided they ought to have a hearse of their own, and con- sequently they bought one costing several hundred dollars.
 "Then they said: What good is a hearse without hOrsesP And so they bought horses. And then they said, Now, that we've a hearse and horses, we must have a place to keep them, and so built a stable and carriage house for the horses and the hearse. Altogether the expenditure was very much greater than would have been necessary for the bridge, and all be- cause they had emOtiOnally decided that they must give what they re- garded as a fine burial for a man whom they had never helped to hap piness while he was living"
 If there are any men present when Mrs. Catt relates this instance of the emotional qualities of men she always smiles agreeably and adds:
 Although I am quite convinced that men as a whole are more emotional than women, Of course, there are eX- captions"

Equals Twenty Tunnels.

The two enormous masonry-faced steel towers supporting the contem- plated bridge connecting Manhattan with Jersey City will each of them be $40 feet high, or 48 feet taller than the WoOlworth building.
 The upper deck of the bridge, over which will flow all the automobile and motortruck traffic, will accommodate as many moving vehicles as ten two track tubes such as the pair soon to be built under the Hudson river at Canal street, at a cost of $150.000,00O.
 The lower deck will carry ten rail- road tracks.
 The bridge is expected to cost $110,- OOO,000 Tunnels under the river, equivalent to the bridge in traffic ca pacity, would, 1t is estimated, cost two and a half times as much. Not fewer than 20 of them would be required.

Is President of Assyrla.

Just as George Washington in Amer lea became known to posterity as tho Father of Ills Country" the first woman president of n nation may be known as the Mother of Assyria." Lady Surma, first executive of the new Assyrlan republic, practically ere ated the nation when she obtained from England the grant of S0,0OO square miles of land in the Kurdlstan mountains, and this, 1t is said In Lon- don, may win her the unique title.
 Lady Surma was ambassador to England from the Assyrlans-and in- cidentally the first woman nmbassa- dor in the world when she obtained the grant of the new territory from Britain. Her brother, Mar Chlnon, had been patriarch of the Assyrians, and following his murder n new form of government was outlined. When the new assembly of the Assyrians was organized the ambassador who won for the country its new territory was at once urged for Its ruler.
 Lady Surma was educated by Brit ish tutors and is an accomplished. linguist.

Arabic Literature Recovering.

Arabic literature, writes corre- spondent to the London Morning Post, is recovering from a period of depres- sion induced by the war Of the books published during the last month or so one of the most interesting Is "Nawa- dir al-Harb," containing rare and in- teresting comments on the war-rare in the sense that every fact is narrated from the standpoint of the Oriental philosopher. The little volume closes with appropriate comments on the pow CTS and their postwar conditions cuIled from the works of the classical Arabic poets. Perhaps the most anus ing passage is that which is selected for Montenegro: "I have sold my house and my donkey; I have, there fore, nothing above or beneath me"

practically Nothing That Is Worth Having Can Be, Attained With
 out the Greatest Effort.

It Is easy to sit and watch others work. But We know of no employer who will pay you wages for doing it, unless you know how to do the work yourself, and are working hard at the job of supervising 1t.
 1t is easy to travel about, the world on steamships and parlor cars, very pleasant and profitable to the man with an inquiring mind. But that is vacation occupation, and unless you nave earned the money to do 1t by hard work you will get little out of 1t.
 It Is easiest of all to feel sorry for yourself, and to think that you haven't had a fair chance In life, and that you'd have been a big success if you hadn't met with so much injustice and bad treatment. But that will get you only unhappiness, which is the least desirable thing in all the world.
 There are many things in life that are we'll worth doing, but none of them are easy.
 The 1rst-class fiction writer takes delight in his job, but he also works at 1t harder than any man who Is not a f1rst-class fiction writer or ever dreams of doing.
 The great tenor, like Caruso, finds pleasure in his job, and incidentally In the money he gets from 1t. But he works about six or seven hours a day at 1t now, and In earlier life he worked ten or twelve hours, receiving far less pay for exactly as good music.
 If good jobs were to be had by little effort practically everybody would have a good job. The reason that they are so few, and that so many of those few are not filled, is that all of them demanded the hardest kind of hard work, not only to get but to keep them.
 Genius, which is said to know how to do things before 1t Is born, has to work just as hard as medlocrity to gain and keep success. Nothing you can think of that brings real rewards can be accomplished without more work tha- most of us can contemplate without getting tired at the mere thought of 1t. Yet people are doing it right along, and you seldom hear of any of them killing themselves in the effort.
 If you have made up your mind to dc something unusual or to be some body of importance learn how to work twice as hard as you ever did before.
 That Is only first step. The second is to think hard. If you can do both, and keep them up long enough, you may land, but remember you will have a lot of competition. Even hard work finds plenty of men to believe in and practice 1t.
 And most of them get what they arg after.-New York Tribune.

River Indus Changes Its Course
 With Regularity.
Inhabitants of Wazirlstan Face Per petuaI Peril, as Water Constantly
 Moves in New Direction.

The frequently heard news that an eastern river has changed its course with danger to property and life seems incredible until one has actually seen an active river getting busy" on new course, writes a correspondent from Wazlristan. India.
 Thus the Indus is perpetual prob lem, and for this reason: All provl- sions must cross It's broad waters, as Waziristan Is on the west bank and in desert country.
 Every october the river hibernates, and a bridge of boats temporarily solves the problem.
 But each May 1t wakes up, shakes itself out of It's sleep and probably out of its original course.
 The bridge Is hurriedly dlsmantled, among the engineers.
 Which way Is the water comIng1
 After observations and soundlngs the new position of the port, quaIntiy called Steamer Point" Is fixed There follows a procession of railway men, provision experts, coolles Caborersl and camels. Lines are laid, dumps" arise and within a week the erstw1 NAe lonely river bank Is populated and~DNs comes going concern"
 Even then wary eye has to be kept on the encrOaching waters. Both the railway and the supply dumps" have to be moved farther and farther back. Sometimes even in a single night the river will flow away into n new and unexpected channel; or, maybe, 1t will forsake a portion of It's bed, leaving a yellow sandbank in It's place.
 The bank itself becomes jagged like piece of bread into which q child has made large bites.
 The water swirls ever inward and cracks appear ten feet within the bank; the cracks deepen, and without warn ing another large lump of shore crumbles away. A motor car that into the river and has not been seen since.
 And some of these effects are curi- ous.
 cluster of three palm trees, which were we'll away from the water last week, were little islands yesterday. This morning they had disappeared
 Probably they are miles down the stream for the current is swift and gives no quarter.
 You may imagine these quiet trees, torn from their native soil, turning feverishly round and round at the mercy of the sweeping current. The fotsam and jetsam of life and death go eddyIng past on the bosom of the stream. Here a dead camel, there a bevy of jam tins catches the eye and fades away downstream. Yet with all the turmoil and trouble the Indus hns a charm of It's own, and 1t is most fascinating to watch the work of elemental natura
 This evening. as I saw the bank col lapsIng bit hy bit, could not help thinking of the story of the engineer who built his bungalow a comfortable mile from the river. The next year the water was tapping at his garden gate.
 And I wondered If in year or two the river would threaten our own little homesteads away back fin the distance.

Cat Mothers Rabbit.

An interesting case of adoption has occurred on a farm in the humble dis trict of East Lothian, Scotland. A cat, whose kittens had been given away as they were old enough to be removed from the mother, has adopt ed a young wild rabbit, which she tends and nurses with great care and affection. The cat was in the habit of killing and bringing in young rab- bits to feed it's kittens, and it is re- markable that she now should show maternal affection towards an animal which hitherto she has regarded US prey.
