The name itself a reminder that England and France were once igaged in a struggle which lasted a century, and lat the conclusion of the Hundred years' War was ■ought about only when the troops of Britain were riven to defeat and the troops of France led to ictory by a seventeen-year old girl. Yet the sub sets of George V now join with the citizens of the rcnch republic in honoring the memory of that de out and heroic Domremy maid. About the statue of Joan of Arc in Paris were iled flowers in profusion during Sunday's cele ration. Those who regard the peasant girl as a lint, knclj, at the feet of the images!' French and nglish, Catholics and Protestants, soldiers ami vilians, men and women, observed the fete day perhaps the most prominent character but one the history of France, and surely one of the HARBTSBITRfi STAIMKDEPKNDENT. TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 18. 1915. outstanding characters in the history of the entire world. It is no longer necessary to argue whether Joan of Arc did or did not converse with messengers of Heaven, or whether she was prompted by diviue or by diabolic guidance to approach the Dauphin with her unprecedented request and, winning con sent, to lead her victorious troops in her country's battles. The historic fact is that she, commander in-chief of the armies of France at seventeen years of age, did lead her soldiers from victory to vic tory, winning for herself by these accomplishments martyrdom and eternal fame. The English condemned the Maid of Orleans to be burned at the stake as a witch, and the French made no efforts to x'escue her, yet those were the English and the French of centuries ago, whose prejudices were unlike the prejudices of the allied English and French of to-day. POSTAL SAVINGS BUSINESS BY MAIL An extension of the postal savings system has just been announced by Postmaster General Burle son in an order permitting persons whose own post offices are not included among the designated postal savings banks to make deposits by mail in such banks in their vicinities. The innovation will Le of benefit especially to farmers living at consid erable distances from the government's postal sav ings depositories. The smaller postoffices are not included in the postal savings system and their patrons hail accordingly been deprived of the sys tem s benefits before the issuance of the order per mitting them to make deposits by mail in the larger postoffices. According to the Postmaster General the new rule was made as the result of the insistent de mands coming to the department, as an example of which he quotes a letter received from a farmer, advanced in age, who mildly complained that he and his wife wanted to deposit their savings with the government, but that they were told at the nearest depository that their money could not be I eared for at that office because they were not pat rons of it. Under the new arrangement the aged | couple will be able to send a money order repre senting their savings to the designated depository, and to withdraw desired amounts, likewise by mail, at any time. It is manifest that one great advantage of this extension of the government's young postal savings system will be to bring into circulation large amounts of money that have previously been hoard ed. Already there have been deposited in the pos tal savings banks millions of dollars that had before been secreted in many thousands of stockings and in numerous other hiding places. It has been pointed out by the Postmaster Gener al that postal savings receipts have during the last year broken all records, and an interesting piece of additional information is that more than half ol these receipts come from foreign-born citizens. Immigrants turn to the government for the safe guarding of their money principally because they have had sad experiences with swindlers of their own nationalities who have conducted private banio. at times and gone off with the deposits. The war, too, has had something to do with it, since foreign ers who had been sending money abroad before the outbreak of hostilities are now making their de posits at the grated windows of Uncle Sam's post offices instead. Further increases of postal savings deposits may be expected since the department has entered the mail order business, so to speak, and is disposing of its postal savings certificates by means of its own postal service. The legislators who took a ten-day vacation for Wash ington s Birthday are now paying up for it by remaining in session until after midnight. Colonel Roosevelt, or at least the colonel's lawyers, are demonstrating in the Barnes controversy that they still have the fighting spirit. Apparently not all the purging of the New York state Republican linen has yet been accomplished. Uncle Sam's people are making good in their determina tion uot to become unduly excited pending receipt of the Kaiser's reply. The fact that Portugal has kept out of the general European mix-up does not prevent her from having a little family row of her own. TOLD IN LIGHTER VEIN NEVER THE SAME "See here, aren't you the same man I gave some biscuits to last week?" "No, lady. De doctor says I'll never be de same man!" —Browning's Magazine. WELL NAMED "What's that you call your mule?" "I call him 'Corporation,' " answered the old negro. "How did you come to give him such a name?" "F'm gtudyin' de animal and readin' de papers, boss. Dat mule gets mo' blame an' abuse dan anythin' else in de township, an' goes ahead havin' on his way jes' de same." —National Monthly. MADE A DIFFERENCE Miller sued a man named Moore for slander because the latter had called him a hippopotamus on several occasions during the previous year. The attorney for the defense said to Miller: "Why, man, you have no case. If your feelings were hurt you should have sued Moore at once, instead of wait ing a year." "Yes, yes," replied Miller, "but I never saw a hippo potamus nntil last week."—National Monthly. HOW DID HE KNOW The new curate had preached a very fine sermon that morning on "Married Life." Two old Irishmen who had been fast friends for years were discussing the address as they walked home together. "It was a line sermon his rivcrence was after givin' us this morning, Tim," commented one. "It was that," quickly assented the other, then with a dissenting frown he continued, "nn' I wish I knew as little about the matter as he doas."—National Monthly.

I V [Tongue-End Topics Learning Germany's Glass Secrets Formulas for making the finer glasses for which Great Britain has been de pendent on Germany have been evolved by the glass research committee of the Institute of Chemistry in London. Un breakable glass for miners' lamps aud glass capable of standing high degrees of heats for test tivbes, retorts, steam gauges and the like had been entirely imported from Germany, 'but analyses of glass of tliis kind conducted at King's College, London, by Professor Herbert Jackson, T. P. 'Merton and assistants, have at least 'been helpful in suggesting synthetic, experiments. Tho work in volved a.careful study of the chemistry of silicates, aiuminates, borates and the like in. relation to the manufacture of glass. As the result, the research com mittee reports eleven formulas which have been subjected to rigorous prac tical tests to prove their suitability. Among the most successful is one lor miners' lamps—a matter of great im portance in the coal mining districts. The formulas : have been put at the serv ice of the manufacturers without charge in order that these special glasses may soon be produced on a large industrial scale. ♦ * * Ban on Tourist Guide Books No tourist guide books, prospectuses and maps whatever may be sold iu a belt 100 kilonietess deep, slightly more than sixty miles, extending clear around the empire. Certain other districts are included in the prohibition. Popular tourist regions thus affected include all Posen, East and West Prussia, Pom erauia, the 'Rhine, the Vosges, part of the Black Forest, the Eifel, the Ba varian Rheinpfalz and the Nosefle re gion. The prohibition does not mean that tourists may visit none of the places affected. I.Vlost of them may be visited as usual, even including the bathing resorts of the Baltic, and the lake region of the Mccklen'burgs. * * * Taking German Teachers' Places To provide employment for •Germans possessing a knowledge of 'French and English, who fled to Germany at the outbreak of the war, t'he Minister of Education has empowered the authori ties of higher schools and colleges to employ them as instructors of languages without many of the usual formali ties. Educated women similarly in need of employment can be taken into the middle and lower classes of 'boys schools, and may receive permission to teach privately without the usual credentials. Men will 'be required only to furnish evidence of suitable character, not of teaching ability. In increasing num bers such men are taking the places of regular teachers called to the front as part of the "landsturm." The new rules apply until the end of the war. * * * English are Studying Russian Russian is the popular language fad of the hour in 'London, and conversation classes are thriving in high society as well as among young men looking for commercial openings in Russia after the war. The King's College of the Uni versity of '.London plans to establish a school of Slavonic languages, to include Polish, Serbian and other Balkan tongues as well as Russian. An offer of an approprjate library for this pur pose has 'been made by Seton Watson. There are now in King's seventy Rus sian students, driven out of the 'German and Belgian universities, who are tak ing courses mostly in engineering and medicine. «... Church of 1450 Was Menaced The ancient church of St. Olave's, in London, whetf Pepys, the diarist, is 'buried, recently had a narrow escape from a fire that destroyed a large cork factory nearly. Pieces of burning cork rained on the roof of the church, which dates from 1450, and was one of the few churches to escape the great fire of London. When firemen reached" the roof, the tim'ber covering the water cistern was ablaze, but no further damage was done. The buildings in the district are old and congested.
