Egypt la actually a Turkish province, although the British control Is so complete and tenacious that the sov ereignty of Turkey Is of the most shadowy kind. None the less Turkey hns the nominal right to order the Egyptian army to cross the frontier Into Tripoli and to help In the discom fiture of the Italian Invaders. Hut al though Turkey has wisely refrained from Issuing orders that would not be obeyed there has been a desire on the part of many Egyptian officers to volunteer In he cause, and these of ficers have askrd Lord Kitchener's per mission to absent themselves from their posts for that purpose. Lord Kitchener's reply, quoted In the Fort nightly Review, shows a certain sar donic humor that must be classified among the finer weapons of diplomacy. He says he would gladly give the de sired permission, but he fears that the upward pressure In the Junior ranks of the Egyptian army would compel him to place the absentees on the retired list, which would be a grievous return for patriotic valor. So he advises them to curb their heroic ambitions, so natural to Egyptians, and stay at home. TO a number of nomad Bedou ins, who made similar applications Lord Kitchener expressed his surprise that they should wish to fight at all. Not having regarded them in the light of warriors, he had never Included them in the Egyptian conscription, an error that should be henceforth cor rected in view of their martial In clinations. Thereupon the Bedouins decided that there was no place like home. Examine Your Own Prejudice.

Indiana, Pa. Mother of Six Fine Babies Glad Receive Advice of Stats Board. to Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, some time ago conceived the idea of sending to the mother of every baby reported at the end of every month some educational material from the state board office, together with a polite note wishing the mother and child well, and offering to help the mother In any way the board might do so to enable the baby to be started right In Its life battle. In re ply to one of the communications, Dr. Hurty a few days ago received the following letter: -I would like to inquire as to the nature of the help you are prepared to give to the mother of six fine, healthy youngsters. 1 doubtless shall wish advice, as sixty dollars a month doesn't admit of extensive fees to a physician, and 1 feel that as a woman who has made the struggle 1 have to give my offspring the mental, physical and moral status which Is theirs 1 should have all the aid possible. "There is not an old soldier, no matter how bravely he has fought, so deserving as a faithful wife and mother. 1 thank you very much for your kind offer." Indianapolis News. Dragon Not China's Emblem. As shown in Its prompt repudiation by the republic of China, the dragon was not the emblem of China; It was the emblem of the late Imperial fam ily of Manchus. This Oriental dragon is one of the powers of the air, al though wingless; one of the forces of nature which the Taolst religion has defied. The dragon kings dwell part- lv In water and partly on land; their shrines are for that reason erected on river banks. The germ of the dragon idea In the primitive races inheres In some persistent memory of the great er lizards, such as the crocodile of the warmer waters. The Chinese dragon being without wings is accord ingly closer to type than is the winged dragon of the mythology of our more remote and northern race. As late as the "Hlstoria animalium" of Con rad Gesner (1564) science believed that one had but to travel far enough. say to the more remote defiles of the Alps, and he would surely encounter dragons. Praise for United States Army. There is less caddlshness In the United States army than Is to be found in military forces elsewhere In the world. In England the reservists and the yeomanry are rather snubbed at the instruction camps and the ma neuvers by the regulars; at San An tonio I saw no sight of this. Colum bian Magazine. Miles, Long and Short. Considering the size of Switzerland one might expect a mile to be about as far as one could throw a ball, but tbe hardy mountaineers think 9,153 yards the proper thing, even when, as it generally Is, It Is very much up hill The Swiss Is the longest mile of all being followed by the Vienna post mile of 8,296 yards. The Flemish mile Is 6.S69 yards, the Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mill. The Arabs generally ride good horses and call 2,143 yards a mile, while the Turks are satisfied with 1,826 yards, and the Itallnns shorten the distance of a mile to 1,766 yards, Just six yards more than the merlcan has in mind when the agent waves his hand and blandly remarks, "About a mile."
