The Egyptian Lotus.
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.

"And did she die?" asked the angu

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.
Russia ranks third among the fish
and deep sea food producing countries
of the world. The total yield of fish
is well over $8,000,000 worth a year,
but even this great supply is not equal
to the needs of the population.
Hand-me-downs.

to wear mother's old hair."—Kansas

Soldering Aluminium.
When holes appear in aluminium
utensils it is not necessary to discard
the dishes as no longer useful, for by
a simple method they can be made to
take solder. Insert a brass or copper
rivet in the hole, flatten both ends and
then solder over both the Inside and
j the outside surfaces in the usual man
ner. If you wish to solder a piece t<*
a sound part of the utensil use a shari
awl to punch holes for holding spots o
copper or brass. If the aluminium i:

A Doleful Mood.
The proprietor of a Paris cafe no
ticed that after he had refused to give
his pianist an increase of salary the
number of his customers dwindled
rapidly. It was only when all but
:one diner had deserted him that he
discovered that pianist had been
inflicting Chopin's "Funeral March"
on the audience nightly. The pianist,
who was proceeded against in the law
courts and was fined 5 francs, pleaded
that he played according to the mood
he felt In after his request had been
refused.

Waliack on the Ballet.
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."

PRAYER BEFORE BATTLE.
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. Then
I followed the order to attack, which
i was silently and cheerfully obeyed.
The battle was not to be, however,
for Mazami. amid a volley of mua
ketry. suddenly appeared, rode at a
gallop between the armies and stayed
| the incipient fight by bringing accept

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. Bu: i

ey, goods or service has been exacted,
implies in itself no promise to pay on j

ANIMALS FIGURE IN
STORIES OF THE WAR.
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 carrier pigeon took news out of
the besieged city of Przemysl in Ga
licia to Vienna.
Marquis, dispatch dog of the Twen
ty-third French infantry, has been men
tioned in the orders of the day. Ho
was sent with an important dispatch
through a fire zone too hot for a man
to attempt at the battle of Sarrebourg,
and delivered it, but he was so badly
wounded he dropped dead as he reach
ed his journey's end.
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.
Over the doors of shops of all descrip
tions the name of the owner or owners
Is frequently followed by "Sisters" or
"Widow." You find them proprietors
of hotels and restaurants. They are of
ten custodians of the churches. They
are employed to tow the boats along
the canal banks. They cut up the meat
In the butchers' shops, and they are
even to be noticed shoeing horses at
the forge.—Liverpool Mercury.
