In an art? le, “Sleep For the Sleep- les: in the World's Work the author quotes an eminent surged. who made a study of sleep in the FFrer ch army as follows: . “In the retreat from Mons to the Marne we bad an extraordinary human experiment in which several hundred thousand men secured littie sleep dur- ing nine dys and in addition made forced marches and fought one of the greatest battles in history. “How, then, nine days apparently without opportu- nity for sleep? They did an extraordi- nary thing—they slept while they marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down their pace to a rate that would permit them to sleep while walking. When they halted they fell asleep. They slept in water and on rough grounds when suffering the pangs of hunger and thirst and even when severely wounded. They cared not for capture, not even for death, if only they could sleep. “The suvaried testimony of the sol- diers was that every one at times slept on the march. They passe’ through villages asleep. When sleep deepened they were awakened by com- rades. They slept in water, on stones, in brush or in the middle of the road, as if they had suddenly fallen in death. With the ever oncoming lines of the enemy no man was safe who dropped out of the ranks, for no matter on what pretext he fell out sleép con: quered him. Asleep many were cap-: tured. That the artillery men slept on horseback was evidenced by the fact that every man lost his cap.” LOOK OUT OF YOUR WINDOW. Mayhap You Are Missing a Wonderful Moving Picture Show. Houses are so common, people are so common, and windows are so com- mon! How rare it is for any one to realize how important it is to stand up and look out of a window! Have you, for example, ever looked out of every window in your house? If not try it and see what a new idea you will get of the universe. Just looking out of one window is a wonderful thing to do. We do it sometimes when there is a big storm raging, and what a sensation we get! Clouds burst, the rain washes down in torrents. ~e think maybe the world is coming to an end.

THE TITLE AN ANCIENT ONE. I: Was First Conferred by Philip Au- gustus In 1191, at the Time of the Third Crusade—The Baton Is Its Dis- tinctive Badge of Ofiice. It is only in France that the military dignity of marshal is a very ancient one. It was King Philip Augustus who first instituted it as a military office in 1191, at the time of the third crusade. St. Louis invested two of his commanders with the rank on the eve of his ill fated expedition to northern Africa. Francis 1. created three, and by the time that Louis XIV. bad com pleted his long reign there were no less than twenty of them: The office was abolished by the firs: republic, but restored by Napoleon I. when he proclaimed himself em peror. He limited the number to six teen. They were known as marshals of the empire. The Bourbon monarchy on its restoration in 1815 maintained them in office. but changed their title back to that of marshals of France. By the law of 1839, bearing the sign manual of King Louis Philippe, their | - number was limited go six in time of peace and twelve in time of war. The batorf. as provided for by exist- ing military regulations in France, con- sists of a staff about two feet long. an inch and a half in diameter, cover- ed with dark blue velvet, flecked with gold stars and tipped at either end with silver gilt, on the borders of which are engraved the Latin words, “Terror belli, decus pacis.” It is car ried in the right hand at all great mili- tary or state functions and is used in lieu of the saber for saluting. The baton of the field marshal of Great Britain is tipped at either end with crowns and lions; those of Germany. Austria and Russia with single headed or double headed eagles. In England the dignity of field mar- shal was unknown until the reign of George Il, who in 1735 bestowed it upon the second Duke of Argyll, one of the greatest commanders and states- men of his day and of whom Pope wrote: Argyll, the state’s whole under born to wield And shake alike the senate and the field. The first Duke of Marlborough, the victor of Blenheim, of Ramillies and of Malplaquet, bore the title of captain general to indicate his rank as gener- alissimo, a title undoubtedly originat- ing in Spain, where it is still retained. It 1s regarded there as the equivalent of the grade of field marshal in other countries. There are no field marshals at pres- ent in Russia. The last two command- ers to hold that rank were the late Field Marshal Gourko, governor gen- eral of Poland. and the late Grand Duke Michael Nicholaivitch. who when he died was the patriarch of the imperial house of Romanoff. In Austria-Hungary there is but one field marshal—namely, Archduke Fred- erick. He is a brother of the queen mother of Spain and heir to all the colossal fortune of his uncle, the late Archduke Albert, who had won his marshal’s baton on the battlefield of Custozza. The full generals in Austria bear the the ordnance) when they belong to the artillery, while all lieutenant generals are known as ‘“feldmarshal leuten- ant,” a title which is being continually mistranslated abroad as that of- field . marshal. In Italy, Scandinavia, Belgium and Holland and in the armies of the Bal- kan states the rank of field marshal is unknown, although the late King Charles of Roumania had received batons from Czar Nicholas II and from the kaiser. Portugal, too. has dispensed with field marshals. It is in Germany, however, that field marshals flourish, but only since the present kaiser has been on the throne. Just prior to the death of old Emperor William in 1888 there were but two field marshals in the entire German army~-namely, the then Crown Prince (afterward Frederick III.) and Count Moltke, both of whom had received their batons at the close of the Franco- German war of 1870. As soon as the 1t emperor came to the throne he to confer the dignity with such liberality that there are now fully a score of them, including Duke Bern- bard of Baxe-Meiningen, the Grand Duke of Baden, Prince Henry of Prus- sia and Baron von Plessen. Besides these there are about & dozen more with the rank of “general oberst,” or olonel general, whose renk is assim- to that of field marshal and who above the full general.—F.

Success Depends Largely on Good Hogs and Right Feeding. Is the problem of making pork at a profit any greater now that grain feeds are high? Have we not a correspond- ing rise in the values of tke product so that we are just as well off? Let us not overlook the fact that only good hogs pay at any time, says the Farm Jour- nal. Poor swine, poorly kept or wormy, are a losing proposition under all con- ditions of the market. In keeping first quality hogs, espe- cially pure breeds, there is always the additional inducement of occasional sales at good prices to breeders. But in feeding there is a right way that should not be forgotten. If you have skim- milk or buttermilk or are near a creamnm- ery where these may be procured at a cost of 40 cents per hundred or less it wilk add quality to the ration and do it profitably. Skimmilk is among the fore- most feeds as a grower of young stock, while it has few equals as a fattener when fed with corn. Says the Indiana experiment station: “The cost of grain per hundred of gain PURE BRED POLAND CHINA SOW, « 4 made when corn is 50 cents per bushel was $2.75 per hundred if skimmilk was fed. But the cost was $4.08 without skimmilk, feeding corn only. For each cent advance in the price of corn the pork cost 5.5 cents more when corn was fed with milk and 8.5 cents more when fed without milk. If milk cannet be procured tankage or oilmeal should be put into the grain ration to balance up the protein content. “However, aside from the grain ra- tion, which is high, forage is available at slight expense,:and’ swine should be given all they will consume.

GIANT WOLVES OF THE SEA. Savage Killer Whales Swim In Ranks, Like Trained Soldiers. The killer whale usually travels and hunts in *“schools” or packs of from three to a dozen or more individuals. Unlike most whales, the members of these schools do not travel in a strag- gling party, but swim side by side, their movements as regularly timed es those of soldiers. A regularly spaced row of advancing long black fins swift- ly cutting the undulating surface of the sea produces a singularly sinister effect. The evil impression is well jus- tified, since killers are the most savage and remorseless of whales. The jaws are armed with rows of effective teetii, with which the animals attack and de- vour seals and porpoises and even de- stroy some of the larger whales. Killers are like giant wolves of the sea, and their ferocity strikes terror to other warm blooded inhabitants of the deep. The Eskimos of the Alaskan coast of Bering sea consider killers as actual wolves in sea form. They be- lieve that in the early days, when the world was young and men and animals could change their form at will, land wolves often went to the edge of the shore ice and changed to killer whales, and the killers returned to the edge of the ice and came out as wolves, to go ravening over the land. Some of the natives assure one that even today ce r- tain wolves and killers a still en- dowed with this power and on account of their malignant character are much feared by hunters. Killers are known to swallow small | seals and porpoises entire and attack large whales by tearing away their fleshy lips and tongues. When attack- ing’ large prey they work in packs, with all the unity and fierceness of so many wolves. — National Geographic Magazine. “The inedndiderate Mice.

In 1822 an Army of Moslems Slaughter- ed 30,000 of Its People and Pillaged and Burned the lIs.and—Twice Laid Waste by Earthquakes. The Aegean island of Chios is the suljject of a striking communication to the National Geographic society from Ernest Lloyd Harris, a part of which is issued as the following bulle- tin: “Chios, which is separated from tbe mainland of Asia Minor by the strait of Chios, only four and a half miles wide, has long been a bone of con- tention between Turk and Greek, and during the earlier part of the nine- teenth century it was the scene of some of the bloodiest tragedies known to history. “As early as 700 B. C. it was one of the richest and most important mem- bers of the Ionian union. It has dis- puted with Smyrna the honor of being the birthplace of Homer. When the Ionian cities rebelled against the Per- sian yoke Chios manned and equipped 100 ships. and sent them to the bat tle of Lade. This stands for some thing when we take into considera- |'tion the fact that at that time—name |1y, 404 B. C.—the population of the island numbered only 30,000 freemen and 100,000 slaves. “Chios has been, in turn, Ionian, Per sian, Athenian, Roman, Italian, Tur- kish, and finally, in 1913, after a sep aration of nearly 2,300 years, it was united once more to the parent coun- try, Greece. As one may well im agine, a little island of 318 square miles which has changed masters so many times necessarily must have suffered much from the strife which swept over it. “Twice has this island been visited by terrible earthquakes. The first was away back in 17 A. D., and it was only through the fostering care of the Emperor Tiberius that the people were able to make a fresh start. The sec- ond was in '1881, when the town of Kastro was practically laid waste. Mosques, chiirches and dwelling houses disappeared into the bowels of the earth, engulfing no less than 5,000 peo- ple. This earthquake visited the whole island, and many beautiful and his- toric monasteries, some of which con- tained priceless objects of art, valuable libraries and monuments of antiquity, were completely lost. “But in spite of all these vicissitudes Chios has also seen many happy days. Even in the old days of the Ionian union it was celebrated on account of its commerce and industries, especially for its native wine and the manufac- ture of beds and sofas. Under Rome the island was ruled as an insular province and enjoyed several hundred years of almost unbroken peace and prosperity, “Chios” real troubles virtually began with the Greek war of independence. Somewhat against the will of the peo- ple, the island became involved in this struggle and was visited by a massacre which appalled humanity. In 1822 the captain pasha appeared before Kastro with a powerful fleet and landed an army of Moslems, who slaughtered in 80,000 Chians, while 32,000 were sold into slavery, The: entire island was given over to pillage. and scarcely a village, church or convent was spared the flames. avenged. While the Moslems were rav- aging Chios the islanders of Psara and Hydra were planning an attempt on the Turkish fleet, which was lying in the outer harbor of Kastro, just off the Genoese citadel. The authors of this bold strike were Constantine Canaris and George Pepines, They arranged two brigs as fire ships and manned them with a chosen band of desperate men. “The lights hanging at the masts of the Turkish ships were sc dim that the Chians were enabled completely to surprise the unsuspecting crew at midnight. The brig commanded by Canaris immediately grappled with the fire. Pepine was equally successful. and another battleship went up in ‘flames. With shouts of ‘Victory to the Cross!’ the old time war cry of Byzan- loss of a single man. Practically the whole of the captain pasha’s fleet was destroyed, and 2,300 lives were lost. {There is an old Greek , monastery about an hour's ride from Kastro which is a grewsome monument of this period. Its walls and alcoves are faced with the skeletons of the Chians mas- sacred in this neighborhood. “One of the chief products of Chios is gum mastic, an astringent which is grown in the southern part of the island. It is used as a gum and also distilled as a liquid, which is used immediately before meals. It is an in toxicant if used immoderately. “One feature of the scenery of Chios Is the picturesque old windmills which crown the ridges and slopes along the toast. The wheels ire of very large di- mensions and“ are fitted with galls. which supply the swtive power for grinding corn. Owing to the possible visitation of earthquakes, the houses are rarely more than two stories high and when scattered along the country- , side are usually surrounded by olive ar i pepper trees, which add much to the beauty and charm of the island.” offer more superficial the space of two months no less than* “These acts of ferocity did not go un- captain pasha’s flagship and set it on" tium, the islanders escaped in a launch’ | which. they had in tow without the throughout the Levant as an appetizer | SHE JUST GETS IT. { When a Woman Makes Up Her Mind Tha: She Wants a Thing. The main differeLce Detween men and women is nowhe«-e so marked as it is in the distinctior between charac- ter and ability, A man's ability is entirely separate from his character. A man may have genius and no character at all. He may have small abilities and large character. In a man the two things ap- pear to be entirely independent of one another. But a woman's character is deter- mined by her ability, and ber ability is determined by her character. In real- ity, therefore, women are much more simple than men, although they do not appear to be so. Women are more complicated outwardly than men. They variety. But closer observation and association among toem tend to make them more alike.’ Men, on the other hand, grow more complicated as you come to know them better. This is because, their abilities and characters heing unrelated and the proportionate measure of each subject to variations. new combinations are constantly being presented. The vari- ous things which go to make up the motive power of a woman, on the other hand, are more closely related. Wqm- en, therefore, concentrate more than men, although they do not seem to de so, the process being unconscious. That explains why, if a woman wants a thing and a man doesn’t want her to have it, she always gets it. When a man wants a thing he plans to get it just as much as he can through the or- derly processes of his mind and will When a woman wants a thing she makes no plan at all—but she gets it much more often than the man be- cause everything in her whole make- up — conscious and unconscious — is working for it.

Among the innumerable nuisances and “cranks” who called on Lincoln at the White House were many who sought to win favor by showing that they had been the first to suggest his nomination as president. One of these men, says Francis F. Browne in “The Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln,” was the editor of a weekly paper pub- lished in a little village in Missouri. He told the president that he was the man who first suggested Lincoln's name for the presidency and, pulling from his pocket an old, worn, defaced copy of his paper, exhibited to the pres- ident an item on the subject. “Do you really think,” said Lincoln, “that that was the cause of my nomi- nation?” “Certainly,” said the editor. “The suggestion was so opportune that it was at once taken up by other papers, and you were nominated and elected.” “Ah, well.” said Lincoin with a sigh, “I am glad to see you and to. know that, but you will have to excuse me. I am just going to the war department to see Mr. Stanton.” “Well.” said the editor, ‘1 will walk over with you.” The president, with that good nature so characteristic ¢f him, took up his hat and said. “Come along!” When they reached the door of the secretary's office Mr. Lincoln turned to his companion and said, “I shall have to see Mr. Stanton alone, and you must excuse me.” And then, taking him by the hand, he continued: “Goodby. i hope you will feel perfectly easy about having nominated me; don’t” be trou- bled about it: I forgive you.” They Sink Backward.
