The lotus figures to a very great ex tent in ancient Egyptian sculpture, though the flower is often crude and difficult to make out The fruit of the Egyptian lotus was forbidden as food to disciples of Pythagoras. The lotus was dedicated to the goddess of fe cundity, Isis, and buds are said to have been found in the tombs of ancient Egyptian kings. Egyptologists have decided that the lotus of Egypt was the common white water lily of the Nile and not the true sacred nelumbo of the far east. FRENCH PRISONERS IN GERMANY.

Last Wish of a Poot. 1 wish to lie on the north side of the churchyard about the middle of ground, where the morning and evening sun can linger the longest on my grave. I wish to have a rough, unhewn stone, something in the form of a milestone, so that the playing boys may not break it in their heedless pas times, with nothing more on It than this Inscription: "Here rest the hopes and ashes of John Clare." I desire that no date be Inscribed thereon, as I wish it to live or die with my poems and other writings, which, if they have merit, with posterity it will, and they have not it is not worth preserv ing.—John Clare, 1864. RIGHT LIVING. Live right today and it will he a step toward living right tomorrow. No man has any right to expect to live differently tomorrow from the way in which he is living today. Whathechoosesfor today he chooses for tomorrow. What he overcomes today he is overcoming for tomor row. Yet most of us live as though we did not believe this, and we try hard to persuade ourselves that we are safe in so living. Russia's Fisheries.

The late Lester Waliack once told a story of his still more famous father, James W., that as either an actor or a manager he could never tolerate the ballet One day there came to him a friend, a man about town, who said. "My dear Waliack, it is very curious that you do not see the beanties of imagination shown by the poses of the ballet" Go ing on in this strain, the visitor at last wore out the patience of the actor manager, who replied: "Look here, it is bad enough to stand these absurdities in an opera; but though I can comprehend people sing ing their joys, I am hanged if I can their dancing their griefs."

When a Whole Army Knelt Before the Order to Attack. During one of the numerous wars | waged by France two centuries ago a strange scene took place near Saluzzo. I a disputed outpost, which well illus trates the religious suirit which ofte* prevailed amoug the soldiers of earlier' times. The French approached tne besieg ers' lines, and both armies were ar ranged for a conflict. The sun shone I from a cloudless sky: every detail on j each array in the field was visible to the other and both were beheld at once from the citadel.. There were three French marshals i present, and it was Schomberg's turn to command. He drew up his 20.00 C men in four lines, with skirmishers in front, and the regular cavalry were placed at stated intervals, ready to | charge. in this impressive order and in abso | lute silence the French advanced until j nearly within cannon shot, when at n signal the army was halted and simul j taneously knelt down to pray.

LAWS OF WAR ON LAND. , Adopted to Save Conquered States From Organized Pillage. The Hague laws of war on land, drawn up In 1899 and 1907 and adopt-1 ed by all nations, were designed to check the rapacity of conquerors and to save vanquished states from organ ized spoliation, says Case and Cora ment Pillage is formally forbidden. Thl> j is a prohibition against the looting o* captured towns, against acquiring booty at the expense of private proper ty, but does not, of course, forbid tb seizure of horses, arms or military sup plies taken on the field of battle. The laws further permit a military occupant to levy, in addition to the or dinary taxes, money contributions foi the needs of the army or of the admin Istration of the occupied territory. Con tributions are to be required only on a | written order and on the responsibility of a commander in chief. Their collection is to be regulated by ! the rules in force for the assessment of taxes, and in every case a receipt Is to i be given to the individual payer.

A cow strayed between French and German trenches, which were only 100 yards apart, and both sides agreed that whoever hit a horn first would be : privileged to milk Bossy without mo lestation. The first shot came from the German lines and killed the cow. A fat pig strayed into the Freiffti lines, and the men of two different batteries claimed it It was tied to the wheel of an ammunition wagon, and although shrapnel began falling all around, the argument over the ownership did not abate until an offi cer ordered the pig cut In two and di vided between the batteries, so the men could return to their guns. By order of the mayor of Brausberg, East Prussia, the cats are being thin ned out and the army helped at the same time, the skins of the felines be ing used for body belts and mittens for the soldiers, who believe cat skins ward off rheumatism.

A Belgian farmer killed his last pig just before the Germans reached his farm. To save it he tucked the car cass in his bed, placed lighted candles near the sheeted form and was pray ing when a German soldier entered. Thinking they were In a chamber of death, the Germans withdrew and the farmer enjoyed his pork in peace. GLASS EYES ARE SCARCE.I None of Theni Has Come From Ger many Since the War Began. Glass eyes are getting scarcer and higher In price, according to the Crock ery and Glass Journal, with no pros pect of an increased supply while the war continues. The authorities in trade say that more than 3.000 people in this country wear glass eyes and keep on buying them from time to time, as the eyes usually wear out within a year or two. New York city is the center of thar glass eye trade in the United States, •nd the wholesalers say that all their imported eyes come from Germany.; £he importers also manufacture some eyes here, but all the material used comes from Germany. No shipment of eyes or material for eyes has been re ceived since the war began. The pres ent supply of manufactured eyes, the wholesalers say, will last only a few months. The material used in making eyes now on hand in this country will hardly last the remainder of the year, according to the trade reports. Even after the war ends there will be much delay before new supplies are avafi able. The Women of Belgium. No one can travel in Belgium with out being struck by the extraordinary activity and prominence of the women.
