WAR MASCOT DEAD.

The French press pays tribute to a
hero of the war whose death has just
been announced. The hero in ques-
ton was named Diamond, and was a
cat that attached himself to the
French in the lines before Amiens.
Every day, Diamond might be seen
threading its. way through the entan-
clements to the German front trench.
The poilus were afraid that some
harm might come to their mascot,
and in order to protect it, they tied a
packet Of cigarettes around it's neck
before it started out on it's daily ram
BILE, bearing the words: II bring you
cigarettes; do not kill me-" Diamond,
being war veteran, had right to a
comfortable home when the armistice
was signed, and was sent to an ami.
mails home superintendent by the
Countess Yurkevich at Neuily, where
it died.

RENNY's QUESTIONS.
What is the kitty good for?
My little boy Benny said.

What is the kitty good for?
My little boy Benny said.
To catch the mice in the pantry
When they nibble mammals bread,
To sit on the rug in the sunshine,
To play with her little toes,
And if kitty is good for anything else,
1t is more than mamma knows.
What is the moody COW good for,
Mamma? I'd like to know.
To eat green grass in the pastures
Where the meadow-lilies grow,
To give us sweet golden butter,
Rich milk and yellow cream,
And a great many more good presents
Than Benny could even dream.
What are the busy bees good for
TO sting little boys? asked he.
There is many lesson my boy could
learn
From even a busy bee.
For he works all day in the summer
Laying sweet treasures by
For the long cold days that are com.
ing,
When roses and violets die.
What is old Rover good for?
I'm sure cannot see.
To teach my Benny how patient
Even a brute can be;
To watch papa's house at midnight
When the lamps are all out in the
street,
SO, Benny, take care of good Rover
And give him enough to eat.
What is my mamma good for?
The little rogue, laughing, said.
Oh, Benny, my boy, answered,
AS pillowed his sunshiny head.
Your mamma is good for nothing
| If she cannot teach her child
To follow the Infant Savior,
So loving, tender and mild.

Then the gray clad figure in the
chair a few feet ahead turned and
peered over his nose glasses. A COM

The marshal extended his hand, and
a greeting in French. The boy ex-

PRIMA DONNA'S. HOME.

There are few more romantic homes
than the Chateau de Cebrieres, where
Madame Calve, the famous operate
singer, spends the summer months. 1t
is an old castle standing high among
the mountains in the south of France
1t has become part of the rock upon
which it is built, rising in stupendous
strength and commanding glorious
views across the valleys. 1t had al
ways been Madame Calves ambition
to own the chateau, which she had
known from earliest childhood. When
she bought it, she invited her father
and mother to grand dinner, without
divulging the secret. A large cover.
ed dish stood before her fathers plate.
When he lifted the cover, a huge key
rested on the dish. 1t unlocked the
main door, and told her parents that
Madame Calve owned the old place.

DID THE BIRDS KNOW?

Many beautiful birds are now be-
coming so scarce In Australia that the
Queensland government has recently
turned Bribie Island into bird sane
tuary. Hardly bird was to be seen
on Bribie Island before, but now it is
crowded with parrots, parrakeets,
doves, blue cranes, quails, peewits and
all kinds of other birds, which make
the island wonderful sight. The
Transformation of the island took
place in the course of few weeks,
and Queenslanders are wondering how
so many different kinds of birds came
to know of this refuge in SO short a
time.

ESSAY ON THE BEARD.

The beard is an open question. Un-
doubtedly, the average American sees
nothing beautiful in what continental
Europeans designate as a belle
barbe."
In America, the long beard usually
marks the appearance Of an imported
Jewish rabbi. In fact, our good mis-
sioners, travelling through this land
of freaks, China, are often mistaken
for such. And yet, one of our thought
full friends has this to say in favor
of the missioner's beard, says the
Field Afar:
In companionship alone, a beard
more than pays for the trouble OF rails
ing and training it. More intimate
than the faithful dog, always docile
and accomplishing, attached to only
one master whom it accompanies with
unique devotion even to the grave it.
self-consider the priceless value of
such loyal fellowship to the isolated
missioner on his lonely journey DER
life'S rocky road. In times of stress
and strain, the beard affords a con-
need ever feel himself slipping" In
periods of doubt and bewilderment,
the beard enables a man to conceal
his anxiety, or his ignorance, and to
pose as wizard through the calm
manipulation of the silent stroke. In
days of peace and quiet, the rhythmic
caress of the happy bewhiskerite
makes eloquent expression of sweet
content-the nearest human approach
to a Kittens purr
While ON tour, the missioner finds
his beard to fill many need. We
have known it to be wrapped around
the neck on chilly days, thus serving
the purpose of muffier-and one
that cannot be mislaid; while in warm
weather it enables one to dispense
with the collar, and, if sufficiently
long, with the subjoined shirt as we'll
Gwen in China, the homeland 'of
launderers, the economic saving is
beard wards off the pestiferous fly,
while at night, for those who have
mastered the art of sleeping on ones
chin (not uncommon in missionary
lands), it admirably meets the need OF
& pillow. In argument, however, the
value of beard may be questioned
1t depends upon whether the owner
be plaintiff or defendant. You can
hold mans attention so long as you
hold onto his beard; you seize upon
his premises and he is bound to grant
your own-unless you, too, offer vul
nerable bunch of vantage.
AS boards vary with temperament
there are naturally many varieties
thereof. There is the nautical fringe
like the surf of a flowing tide; the
Rolshevik ambush, behind which con
cealment is perfect; there is the arts
tocratic porte-cochere, in sideburn eff
feet; the doctors Van Dyke, symbol
izing the professional wedge inserted
between yourself and your pocket
book; there is the little goatee (fem

the long, flowing patriarchal mantl'
that enshrouds the victim in sobriet,
and diplomatic reserve, giving that in
imitable air of probity that is perhap
the chief asset to the missioner, as
renders so easy the securing of loan
and mortgages.
There is really only one objection
to beard. Someone has poetized it
There once was a man with beard

THE MAN WHO LIKES HIS JOB

Here's an old story, that has had a
timely application since men became
builders:
Three stonecutters were working
on stone. A stranger asked the
first what he was doing.
'I'm working for $3.50 a day." he
replied.
"And you?" the stranger asked the
second.
'I'm cutting this stone" growled
the laborer.
When the question was put to the
third stonecutter, he. answered, I'm
building a cathedral"
