WONDERFUL POWER OF SONG
Legends and Stories Expatiate on the Uplifting Strength Exercised
 by the Human Voice.

Let everybody sing as much as pos sible whenever the opportunity offers. Troubles melt away before good 4usty song like the blizzard before the blaz- ing sun.
 If things look blue-sing a little, cheer up, take a fresh start. Nothing can be made better by worrying. Song in the heart makes the mind and the muscles a hundred times more willing. That axiom is as true as the ages. The workers of ali centuries have frightened their iaEOrs with song.
 Have you ever heard how singing saved q town? It Is one of the most interesting of the medieval stories. When that terrible plague, the "BlaclI Death" swept over Europe in the Fourteenth century, whole cities were wiped out and thousands of homes became pest houses. In the town of GOlberg, one of the citizens remained in his house and gradually watched all human traffic fin the streets cease. It was city Of death-nOt soul stirred in any of it's avenues Finally this man decided that he was not going tO die like rat in hole. especially since it was Christmas eve-the glad, dest time of the year. So he braveIy put on his hat and went into the streets singing "FOr Unto Us a Child Is Born" His action was duly re. warded, and the result was that many lives were saved. including, of course his own.

NOT EASY TO KILL SOLDIER
Three Tons of Metal Were Used Ia the World War In Destroying
 Each Fighter,

Nothing caused the newspaper reado CT during the war greater surprise than the colossal expenditure of am- intuition.
 It was agreed that in former wars 1t took a mans weight in bullets to kill him. Tn other words, that for every thousand rife bullets fired away one man was killed.
 In the late war, if all the metal ex- pended in ammunition were reduced to rife bullets, no fewer than 50,0OO would be required to kill man. Of course, the calculation is rendered difficult by the fact that millions of tons of metal were expended in put ting up barrages and the like, and in intensive bombardments of the enc. my's positions, but 1t is safe to say that for every man killed in the war about three tons of metal were ex- pended.
 Such a calculation is staggering and yet comforting, for If the old average had held good, all the armies engaged in the war, vast though they were, would have been annihilated to the last man.

Great Man Very Human.

Tn his recently published book, "StOrm and Sunshine in South Africa" :" ArchdeacOn Wirgman of Port Eliza beth has a good deal to tell about Cecil Rhodes, whose most manifest charac- teristic, it would appear, was his care leSSness.
 He could not sit still, and escaped from debate whenever he could. He was restless in his home life. He would have men in his room discussing politics while he was dressing, and his meals were subject to continual inter- ruptiOns. "He was at luncheon one day, deep in politics with some friends" says Archdeacon Wirgman, "when a little boy (sOn of friend of mine) came very gently up to him and said, Please, MT. Rhodes, I,want to see your lions
 "RhOdes left the table at once with the child, with a rapid excuse to his friends, and took him off to the lion house in the grounds of his beautiful home at GrOOt Schuur It was char lacteristic alike of his restIessness and his love for children"

 It all came about through Mrs. Now bray gossiping about her neighbors with her friend, Mrs. Blake: 'What q wonderful work Hannah Sprague has accomplished. She married that dis sipated wretch, John Tillinghast to re- form him-and she has done it. We all know what he was, and now just look at him-nOt a more respectable citizen in town"
 "Yes, indeed" replied Mrs. Blake. 'What Hannah went through with him nobody will ever know. She martyrized herself, butt she succeeded. Hannah deserves a medal"
 That was all; but it was enough. Mrs. Tillinghast-Hannah Sprague that was-from being an utterly un- interesting person to Clara, sprang in- to an incentive and an inspiration. Certain emotions in the persistent primitive of her unconscious ego were released into the conscious, and there she was-as bent on marrying some body to reform him. But here great and apparently iRsuperable difficulty confronted her. William Richardson had nothing about him to reform.
 He was a lover sans peur ct sans reproche-a very Bayard, an Admir- able Crichton in the lover line. Clara thought it all over and, for the first time since she had known William, felt disappointed with him. It seemed as If he were cheating her out of some thing. To be sure there were other young men of her acquaintance whom she had heard spoken of as being far, far from what they ought to be. She might marry one of these to reform him, but she didn't want to marry one of these; she wanted to marry Will

bray, bought two plates of ice cream for Maybell Harris to one that lie bought for Clara. Maybell was d live ly young thing with bobbed hair lively and fond of attention. She was as surprised as delighted when Will liam took notice of her and paraded him about the grounds as a new con quest.
 Clara made sneering remarks about her the next time William called, but before he left she had played and sung for him his favorite song Thine Eyes So Blue and Tender" and alto gether seemed more like her old self. Not long after Clara heard that Will liam had taken MaybelI to dance. When he next called there was scene. Tears, reprOaches, take back your ring and all that sort of thing.
 But, Clara" protested William, "T don't care a snap for Maybell Harris. You are the only one I care for, but you seemed to think that somehow I was inadequate. And I can't be 8 sport-that's all there is to It."
 "Oh, William" sObbed Clara, "what strange idea. I don't want you to be a sport as you call it-I want you just as you are-just as you used to be-
 Well, here am," replied William. They were married in June.
 You see in the persistent primitive of the feminine unconscious there are more emotions than the reforming urge and the martyrdOm tendency. Among them is jealOusy-and wien that gets released from the uncOn- emotions take a back seat.

"Aoouatio vasssv In churehsa,

When the wreckage of ancient churches in France, destroyed by Ger man shells in the World war, was cleared away number of earthen vessels were found in the walls. It was supposed at first that these had been hidden or accidentally lost there but subsequent investigation showed that they had been deliberately set in place by the monkish architects to improve the resonant qualities of the walls. This practice is mentioned in ancient records, but never before have the exact nature of the acoustic vases'' and the method of using them been revealed. Modern architects might well borrow the idea and use it in a practical way in the construction of churches.

liam. No wonder the poor girl was perplexed and had a sense of personal injury. Here she was ready to per form a great and noble action and the material at hand for performing it utterly inadequate. It was all very trying-and it was all Williams fault. When William called that night as per schedule Clara could not avoid show ing her irritation at his impeccabil- - ity by certain vague hints and inuen- dOes-all of which greatly astOnished William. Then she introduced the subject of Hannah Sprague and John Tillinghast, repeating as original the remarks made by her mother and Mrs Blake.
 "Ah," she sighed, mot every woman has the opportunity of doing what Hannah Sprague did" William caught the note of envy and discontent in Clara's words and exclaimed: "GOod heavens, Clara You don't want me to be what John Tillinghast was so that you can reform me, do you? ] don't know exactly what my possibili- ties for crime are; but fancy I could do fairly well In that line if really put my mind to it."
 "Of course I don't want you to be like John Tillinghast," retorted Clara "How silly you are" But there was a touch of insincerity in the disclaim- CT which William perceived and as he walked homeward that night he thought: "WOmen certainly are cu- riOus creatures. Queer notions they take sometimes; but one thing-they soon get over them"
 But Clara did not so soon get over her notion. The courtship went on, of course, but there was always that g undercurrent which made William feel as if he was not quite filling the bill. Clara suggested that she might never marry, after all, but devote her life to turning the heather from his idol worship or doing settlement work in some city slum where she could be satisfactorily uncomfortable. William became seriously alarfhed.
 "Well," said he to himself. If she is so bent on reforming somebody I suppose I'll have to furnish the some body. Anything to obIige."
 Most men can bear with consider able cOmplacency being regarded as a ''deyil of a fellOw," but no man can .;r with complacency having his at- r.hpts in that direction greeted with iidicule. And ridicule was about all that Williams attempts at being a bold, bad man resulted in.
 That is from the public. Clara did not ridicule him, but she heard others do so and it soon became painfully obvious to him that she regarded his malversations in anything but a se- rious light-that she still saw in him nothing to satisfy her desire for martyrdom. In despair William took counsel with Charley Fosdick with whom William had had no relations at all until having resolved upon a criminal career, he began cultivating him in the hope of getting points. With all his faults Charley was a good-na- tured chap, clOse-mouthed and, safe to confide in. William" said Charley, "as dead game sport you are a rank failure. As to this sporting life, be- lieve me there's nothing in it.'' And then William told his story and from uncanny store of worldly wisdom, Charley handed out the required pre- scription.
 There was q church lawn party soon after this and at it William, while not absolutely neglecting Clara Now

It is told how sailors of the Span ,sh armada carried with them dolls as mascots and actually to play with. Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, en- tering the court of the king, Monte zuma. on the evening of November 8, 1519. found the whole court seated on the floor playing with dolls! But for this, history might have been different.
 Later. when COrtez sent an expedi- ton northward into what is now Texas, he found a curious worship of dolls among the Hopi Indians, the dolls being given to the children for toys after the ceremonies custom which persists among these people to this day-Leslie's Weekly.
