FOR S IS Single Copy Three Cents PASTOR IS OPPOSED TO MILITARISM Rev. Charles Everett, D. 0., Declares in Thanksgiving Sermon that Nations Prepared for War Will Have It. Following is the sermon delivered by Rev. Charles Everett, D.D., at the union Thanksgiving service in the Twelfth Avenue Baptist church last week Thursday:— Text—“Oh that men would praise the Lord .for his goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.” Psalm 107-8. It is a welling note that rises in every heart that is mindful of the manifold mercies of the kind and loving Father who has abundantly provided for us. “Oh that men wTould praise the Lord for his good- ness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.” This is a marvelous Psalm. The heart of the singer was full of grat- itude and he is singing as he re- counts the wonderful goodness and mercy of God in His dealings with the redeemed; howT in their trouble they called to Him and He delivered them. God is so good, so merciful and so gracious. “Oh that men would praise the Lord for his good- ness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.” We gather to-day by order of the President’s proclamation and our hearts beat in accord with this man- date that the people of this great re- public assemble and render devout thanks unto Him whose providence has been over us and whose goodness has been so manifest unto us all. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so; let them tell it out loud and clear and strong that God has been good and his care over us has been provi- dential. These proclamations from the President down through the Gov- ernors of the states have awakened responses in our hearts. Let us praise the Lord for his goodness. You remember the proclamation of the president as he recounts the goodness ancf mercy of another year, as in many past, there’s a strain of sadness that tinges our joy as we think of other lands not favored like our own but where there is trouble and distress; people as good as we are, people of the same constitution and temperament, and yet involun- tarily driven by those in authority— driven forth as cattle for the slaugh- ter and this awful scourge is upon other lands, entailing suffering and sorrow and anguish and entailing upon their posterity burdens—great burdens for years to come, and as the president calls attention to this fact there is naturally a fce'ing in our hearts that is not all joy and glad- ness because we are naturally sym- pathetic, We feel for others be- cause we realize the possibilities that might be the condition of our own nation and our own people; but to- day we come together as a people, representatives in this community of those who would be responsive to the proclamations issued and whose hearts would answer to such a call because we believe it ought to be the expression and manifestation that is put forth by all those who appreciate the mercy and goodness of God. So many things to be thankful for. Per- haps first of all to begin with our- selves and think of this w'onderful physical construction, with its many organs and their varied functions. How replete as a finished mechan- ism! So that the w'ords of Watts ring true:— “Our life contains a thousand springs And dies if one be gone, Strange that a harp of a thousand strings Should keep in tune so long.” We are fearfully and wonderfully made as the Psalmist says. God has so constituted us that by organs of the body and faculties of mind wre stand separate from all other of the animal kingdom. Man was made in His own image and for His glory and as we realize the glorious truth of this fact, so ought we to be not merely creatures of a day but a crea- tion of God whom he might delight honor. Man has been unworthy and ungrateful, but God has followed him with loving kindness and ten- der mercies to demonstrate his boundless love and even though this image has been marred and this character debased, yet He desires to restore it and bring it back to its original condition; a restoration to His own favor and ultimately to His own likeness. Therefore, as we think of these many parts of our be- ing, we wonder that a heart with so many strings can keep in tune so long. We realize there are some wTho have accidents in early years, others have great afflictions in the passinb years, but the comparative number of those who enjoy good health throughout middle life even to old age far outnumber those of con- tinued or prolonged sickness. We ourselves know that though we may have been sick and there are some ailments wre must have, yet never- theless our days of suffering have been few in comparison. So indi- vidually we have reason to thank God for His wonderful goodness and mercy and grace. We must remem- ber that when His hand has been heavy upon us and w*e have been passing through a season of sorrow, we know something of our depend- ence upon God, which is brought about because of the frailty of our nature and our forced reliance on his strong arm, and yet it is true God is directing and overruling and mak- ing all things work together for our good; therefore whatever our con- dition, w'hatever our station, wher- ever we are, we have great reason to thank God that He is our Father and our Friend. He is the disposer of all circumstances in which we are plac- ed and He is directing so that every issue of life’s activity is for a divine purpose and our own advancement and development in the best things. Not only in our individual life but in our family life, in the home and our associations and our friendships. Tn the more extended relations of life, our fellowship one with another, wre hove reason to thank God. Perhaps in this country more than any other because of our freedom to choose in so many things as all our pursuits and oleasures in life so perhaps we ought to appreciate all this and re- member that it has not been because we have decided that we will be born in the United States rather than in some other country. We feel we justly prefer that our condition and circumstances wTould be such that we might be true citizens of this country by birth or adoption; this country favored by government and favored by God. Then if we look to the interests that pertain to the af- fairs of this life, there is no other land where any young man who nlrms his life carefully and wisely in his efforts in any undertaking, is so guarded and protected in the inter- ests that preserve himself and his position, as in this favored land of ours, So. however, as we look about ourselves in this blessed country, we have reason to praise God for His goodness unto us. Oh. that men would praise God for his goodness. We as a nation are called together to recognise the source of blessing and to render our tribute of gratitude thereto. We receive so much all the time, and- in every way from our Heavenly Father through His good- ness and we seldom look up in thankfulness. We are not as grate- ful as we ought to be. It is a re- sponse that is not as ready as it ought to be to every token of divine love and favor./ As we think of this utterance of the Psalmist, we perhaps feel he is calling upon men to praise God as an obiect of their apprecia- tion and gratitude because it will do him so much good. I think the deep- er thought is that it will do us the most good. Everything we do for God, everything w'e do for oth- ers, is doing the best for our- selves. When we feel we are just conserving our own interests wrhen we are just planning to ac- knowledge no sovrce of aid or as- sistance, but that we alone are doing what our wisdom dictates, and our heart’s desire, then we are doing the least thing, but when w'e are so con- cerned in all of our affairs that we think of others as well as ourselves, not desirious to take advantage, though we may seek our own ad- vancement. it is along the line of aid for others equally as well, then wo are doing a greater good. But when we realize that in all wre do God should have the glory and men the (Continued on page G) *. MORNING OR AFTERNOON? *.

Mr. Closs is a Swiss bell ringer, im- personator, pantomimist and imitator and gives an entertainment of the best order. Many Belmar people have seen and heard him and all recommend him. The young men are raising funds for the improvement of the church property. They have already start- ed a fund which promises to increase rapidly. They say they must have a Sunday school room and equip- ment adequate to the community's needs. All the Belmar churches are lacking in this respect, and the Bap- tist church has so large a proportion of young people that their needs should be looked after. The K. of H. young men are hustlers. They will visit you with tickets. Patronize and encourage them. It is worth while. They certainly deserve as big success as has ever been given any other entertaining feature in Belmar, and if they have it they will do a stunt worth while in Belmar. Thursday. December 14, in the Public School hall. WOMAN’S CLUB MEETS Mrs. W. H. Carpenter, Ocean Grove, is Hostess. The regular monthly meeting of the Belmar Woman’s club was held at Mrs. W. H. Carpenter’s, Ocean Grove, last Friday, and wras largely attended. The work of the club is civic and a letter from the officers of the Belmar Free Public Library was read thanking the club for the sum of §200, which was spent for the sidewalks around the Library grounds, which are to be known as a memorial to the Woman’s Club. The club is also planning improve- ments as to lighting the beach front and the ocean end of Silver lake. This was an opening meeting and Mrs. R. A. Tusting wras to have been the club’s guest and speaker, but was unable to be present. A social hour was enjoyed at which refreshments were served.

A PRETTY HOME WEDDING Miss Mabel A. Morris Becomes the Bride of Harold Whittle. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles IT. Morris at 335 Garfield avenue was the scene of a pretty wedding Thanksgiving day when their daugh- ter, Miss Mabel A. Morris, became the bride of Harold Whittle, son .of William Whittle of Asbury Park. About seventy-five relatives and friends of the families witnessed the ceremony which was performed at 2 o’clock by Rev. Charles B. Blades, pastor of the Avon Methodist Pro- testant church. The parlors of the Morris home were handsomely dec- orated, the color scheme being pink, white and green. The bridal party stood beneath an arch. The bride wore a charming cos- tume of white crepe de chine trimmed with pearl banding. Her bridal veil of tulle, was arranged cap fashion' and held in place by orange blossoms. She carried a huge shower bouquet of bridal roses. Miss Nellie Clayton, maid of honor, was attired in white georgette crepe and carried an arm bouquet of pink chrysanthemums Two bridesmaids, Miss Edna Lefferts and Miss Eliza- beth May, were also attired in white and carried bouquets similar to the maid of honor’s. The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of the Lohengrin wedding march play- ed by Miss Eleanor Cromwell of Bel- mar. She played softly during the ceremony and concluded with the Mendelssohn wedding march. The bridegroom’s only attendant was Wilbur Morris, brother of the bride, who was best man. Following the ceremony a colla- tion was served, Sanborn catering. After a short bridal tour, Mr. and Mrs. W hittle will reside with the bride’s parents. The bride’s travel- ing dress was of blue material. She wore a plush cloak trimmed with fur and a black velvet hat. The couple received many valua- ble and useful presents. Both are well-known young people with many friends in Avon and elsewhere. The groom is connected writh the Asbury' post office and is engaged with his father in the slating business. THAT BUNDLE OF STICKS LIBRARIAN’S REPORT The yearly report of Avon Public Library’s Librarian, Miss Frances W. Winans, was submitted to council Monday evening. There are 1,559 cataloged books in the library, 284 of which were cataloged this year. The library now owns about 2000 volumes, due to recent gifts and pur- chases. During the year there were 3,657 books circulated, making an average of 2S daily. The library regularly received fif- teen magazines, six of w’hich are contributed; ,$126 worth of books have been purchased during the year. ,$90 was expended recently, of which $70 was given by the state and $20 by the local school board. $19.90 wras received from fines and subscriptions and $48.43 expended leaving $1.47 balance on hand. The library was open 130 days last year, being closed Christmas eve and Good Friday and from August 14 to October 10, on account of the epi- demic of infantile paralysis. Tlie treasurer, Mr. Emlen, whose year expired December 1, reported that receipts from library had been $591.- 99 and expenditures $494.6(5, leaving a balance on hand of $97.33. COUNCIL NOTES Council met Monday evening. Bills of $875.96 were ordered paid. A check of $27 wfas received from Sam- uel Hurley who bought the timber land in West End avenue for that amount.

F., Will Re- ceive it Next Tuesday Night From Excelsior Lodge of Manasquan. United lodge, I. O 0. F., will re- ceive the celebrated bundle of sticks from Excelsior lodge of Manasquan next Tuesday night when the mem- bers of that lodge will make a fra- ternal visit to the Belmar lodge. A committee was appointed at the meeting of the local lodge Tuesday night to receive the bundle and to provide entertainment for the vis- itors. It consists of W. H. Runyon, Clarence R. Stines and W. A. Robin- son. The bundle of sticks started its journey through the lodges of the state in January, 1901, from the Ris- ing Sun order of Jersey City. It will be transferred from one lodge to another by fraternal visits until it reaches the end and is returned to the lodge that started it. It has been received by 150 lodges since leaving the starting point. This has taken over fifteen years, with approximately another fifteen years before it reaches home. The bundle of sticks has'traveled through on an average of ten lodges a year, but an effort is now being made to have it move faster. The bundle of sticks will be trans- ferred from Belmar lodge to Asbury Park where they will repose in Nep- tune lodge for two w'eeks and then be turned over to Asbury Park lodge, who will see that it is carried on to Long Branch. Fire Chief Hausotte Makes Annual Report FILED AT COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT Department Responded to Eighteen Alarms in Borough During the Year. PROGRESS ON THE PAVING JOB Work Delayed by Lack of Cement is Again Resumed. Congested traffic on the railroads is blamed for the non-arrival of car - loads of cement ordered by Messrs. Gardner and Van Cleve, who have tlie F street paving contract. Last week the wrork of putting in the pav- ing was begun at the junction of Fifth avenue and F street and good progress was made up to Monday morning when more cement was ex- pected to arrive, but not another carload reached Behnar until Wednesday morning when the work started again and is now progressing very satisfactorily. Tlie w'ork of excavating, however, was continued and has been done on both sides of the car tracks between the Shark River bridge and Eighth avenue, and also on both sides be- tween Twelfth and Sixteenth ave- nues. Tuesday night the contract- ors were given the privilege of dig- ging up the street between Tenth and Twelfth avenues, but the road between Eighth and Tenth avenues will not be dug up until this section can be completed. A drain will be put in on F street from Sixteenth avenue to Tenth avenue and there connect with the drain on Tenth avenue. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Paul Coster, of New York City and Behnar, at a large family dinner on Thanksgiving day announced the engagement of their daughter, Alice, to Mr. James Mc.- Barron Webster, son of Mr. Samuel Webster of New York City. Mr. Webster is a civil engineer, graduat- ing from Columbia University. He is a member of the Engineers Club of New York City. The day was made a more joyous one by the return of Corporal Paul Coster, Jr., from the Texas border, where he has been for the past five months with the Seventh regiment of New York. Idle Hour Theatre 902 F street. A fine cloth-bound book given away every night, adv CLAYTON—RASH Postmaster Walter F. Clayton of Ocean Grove and Miss Virginia May Rash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bash, of Belmar were mar- ried Thanksgiving afternoon in St. Paul’s M. E. church at Ocean Grove. Dr. James William Marshall, super- intendent of the New Brunswick dis- trict, assisted by Bev. James D. Bills, pastor of the church, performed the ceremony in the presence of a few friends of the contracting parties. The revised ritual service of the church was used fir the first time in this church. The altar was decorated for the occasion with ferns and potted plants. Immediately following the cere- mony Mr. and Airs. Clayton left for a short wedding tour. Mayor Poole and all members of the borough council were present at the meeting in the Council cham- I ber Tuesday night. Among the communications re- ceived was one from the clerk of the board of health, which was as given in last week’s Advertiser in the account of the meeting of that board. The sum of $123.13, a bal- ance received by the clerk as fees, wras reported turned over to the bor- ough collector. V. J. Hausotte, chief of the fire department the past year, submitted his report and in it he said: “I beg to submit to you my report as Chief of the Volunteer Fire De- partment of our Borough for the year ending Dec. 1st, 1916. “The department responded to eighteen alarms of fire in the Bor- ough and also responded to three calls for out of town fires. “I am glad to report that no one of the fires in the Borough proved to be serious, for which great credit is due to the Volunteer Firemen of our Borough who, with no fear of danger give unselfish service in the saving of life and property. “With the exception of the body of the hose wagon of Goodwill Hose company, the apparatus of the var- ious companies is in good condition. There was 700 feet of new hose pur- chased this year by the Borough. 300 feet of which was given to Union Fire company, and 400 feet to Good- will Hose company, with this new’ supply of hose Union Fire company now has 2,100 feet of hose and the Goodwill company has 1,300 feet of hose.” Mr. Hausotte also submitted the record of the firemen and it wras voted to pay all the men who had responded to sixty per cent, of the calls during the year. Paul T. Zizinia, who is looking af- ter the work at the inlet in the in- terests of the borough, sent in his report which stated that very satisfactory progress was being made on the extension of the south jetty, that besides shifting 250 feet of track and 150 feet of water line, sixteen feet of face piling has been driven. This was up to Tuesday night. Oth- er piles have been driven since that time. Andrew Van Cleve, of the firm of Gardner and Van Cleve, who are doing the F street paving, was at the meeting and asked for the privi- lege of doing the excavating between Tenth and Twelfth avenues. This privilege was granted. Mr. Van- Cleve was also instructed to close the street on the blocks where work was being done, diverting the traffic to E street. The re-appointment of William M. Bergen and C. S. Goff as members of the board of health was recom- mended and they were re-elected by vote of the council. Mayor Poole re-orted that $100 had been received from Mr. McCarty of Long Branch for two pairs of mute swans, sold from tbe Silver Lake colony. It was also reported that the borough collector had turn- ed $5,000 over to County Collector MacDonald. The much discussed question of having the Western Union Tele- graph company remove its dead poles from Tenth avenue and A street came up again as a result of recent correspondence with that company. The poles are carrying a | portion of the Borough fire alarm j system wires and (he company or- dered the borough to remove these, or offered to turn the poles over to the borough. If the borough took the poles over it would relieve the company of the expense of removing them and they are worthless to the company, being in bad condition. It would also force all liability of damage because of the poles onto the borough. Councilman Bamford was named as a committee, with (Continued on page 4) To Bent—4 room bungalow near West Belmar school. F.. F. Benton, 817 12th avenue. adv

Paris.—In fo u r hours a portion of th e F rench mobile arm y under General N ivelle has regained nearly all the 'ground won by the crown prince before ■Verdun during live m onths of continuo u s a ttack . I t is a g rea t F rench victo r y - s u c h a victory as th e G erm ans a t th is stage of the w ar would m ake th s occasion of a celebration, bu t here in F rance it has been received alm ost .w ithout dem onstration.
More rem arkable even than the victo ry is the w ay It h as been accepted by th e people of F rance. I t h as given a feeling of satisfaction and reassu rance, to be sure, and it is very timely, a s F rance has been having an hour of nervousness over th e fa te of her new ally, R o u m an ia ; but, f a r from being any shouting about it, there h as been sim ply the ordinary in te rest iu how it w as accomplished.
N othing could express m ore plainly how the F rench feel about them selves an d about the w ar. It reveals an unconscious a ttitu d e of success th a t characterizes all F rench thought a t th is stage of th e war. I t is a new phase in th e absorbing question of F rench m orale. T here has certain ly been no o ther tim e during the w ar w hen so signal a victory would have been accepted so calmly. To me, livin g here in F rance and w atching ithe s ta te of feeling m ore closely th an anyth ing else, it is entirely unexpected.
W ent Off Like Clock Work.T he whole story of th is a ttack is,
in fact, extraordinary . The tim e of It w as known to a day two weeks in advance. Tlie p repara tions w ere m ade w ith hard ly any a ttem p t a t secrecy. V isiting correspondents w ere to ld by th e comm anding generals ju s t w hat w as going to happen. H ere in P aris It h as been the ta lk of th e boulevards. T he G erm ans w ere so well inform ed o f de ta ils th a t they w ere able -to bring up re-enforceinents against the point w henever a ttack s took place, and it is to be presum ed they did th e ir best to check it. E u t th e advance w ent off like clockwork a s scheduled.
I t w ill be recalled th a t th e G erm ans a few m onths ago w ere able to do th a t k ind of th ing p re tty much w here they pleased. Now they a re able to do it only aga in s t green troops such as Eou-
In th e first m arriage of royalty since th e outbreak of th e European w ar, Countess N adejda Torby, tw enty years old, daughter of G rand D uke M ichael M ichnelovitch of R ussia, becam e th e w ife o f P rince George of B attenberg, a cousin of K ing George o f England.
Two cerem onies w ere perform ed, the firs t according to the bride’s fa ith in th e R ussian em bassy chapel and the o ther In th e chapel royal, St. Jam es palace.
K ing George, Queen M ary and Dowager Queen A lexandra w itnessed the w edding; also th e duke and duchess of Connaught, P rincess P a tric ia of Connaugh t and ex-Iving M anuel of Por- tu ro l.
The bridegroom is a lieu tenan t in the B ritish navy, serving on the battle c ru ise r New Zealand. H e is twenty- fo u r years old and a nephew of P rin cess H enry of B attenberg, King George’s youngest aunt. The bride is th e daugh ter of G rand D uke jtflehaelo-
i v itth , a. cousin of the czar of R ussia,
m ania brought into the war. To go no fu rth e r back in the h isto ry of tho war, the Verdun advances w ere them selves heralded from tim e to time, and except fo r th e half-dozen announcem ents m ade from B erlin th a t Verdun Itse lf w as about to fall, they usually m ade good on th e ir prophecies. They w ere able to do so because they knew w hat th e ir p reparations w ere and th a t th e F rench had nothing to w ithstand them .
“T 'oth er W ay Round” Now.Now i t is cu tting th e o ther way. The
French had such p reparations th a t they knew the G erm ans could not stand against them . And no one w ants to be deceived by the B erlin claim tlia t the F rench have retaken the ground a t frigh tfu l cost. I t m ay have cost one-tenth w hat i t cost th e Germ ans to tak e it, no t more. A t th is stage of the w ar liumuu cost can be figured accurately ' on th e basis of shellfire and th e num ber of hours th e a ttacking arm y fought In th e open. Ground taken in a few hours is bound to cost m uch less th an ground captu red a f te r m onths of ceaseless a ttack .
T he cost in lives h as no t entered into th e discussion h ere a t all, though tlie question of m an-pow er is th e catchword of tlie day, and there is a rea son fo r it. Everyone in F ran ce knows now th a t F rench troops a re no t ordered ou t of the trenches un til th e opposing German trenches have been w iped ou t by shell fire. W hen th e Germ ans cry “T h is is no t w ar, i t is slaughter,” th e F rench people simply rub th e ir palm s in self-congratulation. They know they have tlie job of driving the G erm ans out of F ran ce a jum p a t a tim e, and if th e G erm ans will jum p back ahead of th e ir shell fire they a re content. They have reached the cheerfu l s ta te of mind w here they a re w illing to go on m aking shells in la rger and larger num bers fo r an indefinite period.
Verdun F ron t Secure.Things m ay go ahead fo r a while
on o ther fron ts, bu t there is hardly a Frenchm an living who th inks anyth ing d isastrous can happen again on this front. I am w ith them in th a t belief, and so is everybody who know s anything about the p resen t streng th of th e F rench arm y in men and shells. My confidence in th e situation , ga th ered from contac t w ith the French people, is such th a t I am w illing to w rite th is and confide i t to tlie slow- going m ails when the F rench advance a t Verdun is hard ly m ore th an under way, and I have no fe a r anything will happen m eanw hile to con trad ict it.
T here is a common-sense reason fo r this, too. F o r the lirst tim e there is an adequate supply of big new modern a rtille ry before Verdun. The G erm ans nearly took V erdun because F rance did not have a sufficient num ber of heavy fieldpieces to p ro tec t it. I t w as saved by the sm all .75-millimeter guns, rhe sam e guns th a t tu rned tlie Germ ans on tlie Marne, and th e G erm ans w ere stopped only w hen th e F rench succeeded iu bringing up fo rtress guns from the fo rts on the Ita lian fro n tie r ; the F rench arm y w as th a t badly oft in artillery . T here w as new artille ry enough fo r the Somme, but no t fo r both the Somme and Verdun, so they advanced w ith the new on the Somme and held th e G erm ans a t Verdun w ith the old. Now th e F rench have enough new heavy a rtille ry fo r both tlie Somme and Verdun, so they a re advancing a t both spots.
A rtillery the Big Factor1.I t takes tim e to m ake artillery , bu t
it takes longer yet to rem ove fixed ideas, and even the b rillian t m en who have tu rned F rance’s m ilitary fortunes could no t foresee w hat the w ar would be like a t th is stage and did not provide aga in s t th e p resen t necessity fo r heavy fieldpieces. I t w as Verdun th a t stirred tilings up. Verdun stands for m any things, bu t in close-in m ilitary and political circles in F rance i t m eans th e po in t w here F rance began to go in fo r heavy a rtille ry on a big scale.
T here a re several different factions in F rance ju s t now claim ing the credit fo r B’rance’s grow ing a rtille ry superiority, and w ithout casting any discred it on th e high command of the arm y i t is generally conceded th a t the F rench parliam en t had an im portant hand in it. I t is balm, too, to the feelings of F rench parliam entarians, for they w ere certain ly snubbed a t the beginning of the war, and they can point ou t now w ith perfec t propriety, especially the senators, th a t they ordered and voted the funds fo r heavy a rtille ry w hen m any m ilitary men in high position w ere inclined to think th e th ing w as being overdone. The cred it fo r the new Verdun advance—- a t leas t th a t p a r t no t due to th e sold iers and th e brillian t F rench a r t illerym en—will have to go to a senato ria l com m ittee th a t got busy months ago, w hen i t w as no t very much encouraged, and m ade th e new supply of big guns possible.
T his w hole m a tte r is no t talked about m uch h e re ; i t is simply accepted. One no longer hears scornful rem arks from m ilitary m en about “meddling politicians.” And th e members of parliam ent and all th e civil side of th e governm ent they rep resen t are w earing th e ir regained prestige ra th er modestly. B u t anyone who ever feared a m ilitary d ictatorsh ip in F rance can
! now definitely p u t tha t, fe a r aside.“ Rained Crape on Fran ce."
A t th is tim e la s t y ear th e more nervous P arisian s w ere ju s t beginning
! to believe tlia t th e G erm ans would . never get to Paris . T h a t had, in fact, {been obvioas since th e b a ttle of the j M arne. N evertheless, they had more confidence, and th e arm y itse lf had more confidence than th e fac ts ju s tified. The Germans could no t break through, perhaps, b u t they Showed at V erdun tlia t they could make i t very expensive fo r F rance to hold its line.
Verdun, as a whole, tlie loss and regaining of its ou ter circle of forts, has cost the F rench now here near so much as i t has cost th e G erm ans; bu t there is no t a F rench village, hardly a F rench fam ily, w here m ourning is not w orn fo r someone lost a t Verdun. Those fam ilies th a t escaped owe i t to
’unusual luck. On th e whole, Verdun h a s been a very bloody business—much w orse than the Somme. The best proof
, of th is is tlie com paratively few deaths on th e Somme am ong one’s personal acquaintances and connections. Ver-
,dun ra ined crape on F rance. Thc 'Somm e h as been no such slaughter house—fo r tlie F rench . B u t i t w as there tho G erm ans first began harping on the phrase, “T his Is slaughter.”
I t w as slaughter, because th e French fo r th e first tim e opposed them w ith ■ as m uch a rtille ry as they had, and F rench artillerym en a re superior to
;any others. A t th e b a ttle of the M arne 'itself, before th e artillerym en had had all th e experience the la s t two years has given them, they showed them selves thoroughly capable. A t every point w here tlie G erm ans tr ied to m ake stands on th e Ourcq and the M arne th e F rench a rtille ry cleaned them out by th e m ost system atic fire. They dropped th e ir shells a s regularly a s the squares on the checkerboard, and blew th e German batteries a ll to pieces, so th a t im m ediately a fte r th e battle , w hen I passed th a t way, the fields w ere litte red w ith w recked fieldpieccs and lim bers and dead a rtillery horses.
French Superiority.In those days F rance had one piece
of a rtille ry to G erm any’s ten. G erm any still h as th ree o r fou r to F rance’s one, but, opposed to th e F rench them selves, Germany can afford to spare only cannon fo r cannon. The fac t th a t tlie F rench have consistently gained on a fa ir field w ith an even distribution of equipm ent shows the French to be no t only superior artillerym en bu t b e tte r in the in fan try attacks.
In an artic le la s t May I called a ttention to th e construction of the F rench mobile arm y under General Petain . m ade up of divisions and corps w hich had particu larly distinguished them selves in a ttack . T his was the arm y w hich paid so heavy a price in saving Verdun, bu t w as still in shape to m ake the Somme offensive. Some of th e best of these corps happen to be having ju s t now a w ell-earned rest. They have not been in e ither the la te r successes on th e Somme o r a t Verdun. I t has no t been necessary to use the very crack troops.
T he football team of one of th e most distinguished, the T w entieth army corps, recen tly played a ho t m atch in Paris . I t w as an excellent team , hardly a m em ber of which did not w ear every possible decoration, hu t the rooters of the T w entieth who came along w ere a sight in them selves. They had been th rough Verdun and the Somme —eight m onths of continuous a ttack — bu t they w ere the fittest-looking men you could ask for. T here w as not one who to use ou r own phrase, did not look as if lie could “lick h is w eight in w ildcats.” And men of th is kind, in th e m idst of tw o big offensives, a re righ t now tak ing th e ir ease. I t shows th a t m any o ther divisions have proved th e ir m ettle. T he mobile arm y of crack troops th a t numbered, perhaps,450,000 las t May comes nea re r being a million today. I t is no t th a t the F rench arm y has grown in proportion —th e new men who have gone into action since la s t May num ber under a quarte r of a million. T he grow th of th e mobile arm y lias come from men who have seen action since th e beginning of th e w ar. The w hole arm y is show ing a tendency to grow in fighting power. I t is som ething in the French race. Napoleon m ade him self by developing th e sam e characteristic .

Hummingbirds, Harmless, Should Be Preserved on Sentimental Grounds
By F. E. L. BEAL
H um m ingbirds a re popu larly supposed to live upon th e n e c ta r of flowers, and unquestionably th is substance form s an im portan t p a r t of th e ir food. Close observation h as shown, however, th a t these litt le b irds do no t v is it flowers wholly fo r th e purpose of ga thering honey, n o r do they obtain a ll th e ir

food from flowers. T he w rite r h a s observed them hovering in fro n t o f a cobweb, picking off in se c ts -a n d p e rhaps sp iders en tangled in th e net. T hey have also been observed to captu re th e ir food on th e wing, like flycatchers. Stom ach exam ination shows th a t a considerable p a r t of th e ir food consists o f in sects and spiders, w ith som etim es a litt le vegetable m atter.
Here’s Gown Without Hook
We have had the d ress w hich fa s ten ed w ith th ree, two, or even a single hook, bu t here is a frock w hich has no fa s ten e rs w hatever. I t is m ade of so ft ta f fe ta in a delicate lavender. T he blouse is cu t like a middy and slips over th e head . I t is sm ocked on each side of th e fro n t along th e shoulders and across the back w ith so ft g reen silk. W hite chiffon over green silk form s th e collar, w hich is n o t a s w ide o r deep a s a sa ilo r collar. T he sk ir t is smocked to form a six-inch yoke and is sew ed onto th e blouse w ith a a e lastic a s a w aistband. T h is e la s tic s tre tch es to perm it th e frock to go on over th e head. A large, so ft green cord, w ith loose tasse ls , ties about the w aist and han g s down a t one side, and a narro w green silk cord, ending in tiny tassels, laces up th e fro n t o f th e blouse. T im e expended in pu tting on th e frock—one m inute.

T o be a w om anly w om an u nder a ll

The Missing Coat-Tails
Schoolboys usually s tan d by one an o th er and re fu se to b e tray a companion who is in trouble. A wen-known Instance of th is occurred w hile Docto r Vaughan w as h eadm aster of H a rrow. R etu rn ing one n igh t from a dinn e r p a rty the m aste r caught sigh t of a pupil who w as talcing a w alk when, according to the rules, he ought to have been in bed. The m om ent the hoy saw h is m aste r h e fled a s if fo r h is life . D octor V aughan ra n also in ho t pu rsu it, and ju s t m anaged to seize h is pup il’s coat-tails. A fte r a lively tu ssle th e boy escaped, leaving one ta il in th e m as te r’s hands. I t w as a (lark night, and th e m aste r had not recognized the pupil, o f w hich he had no t seen m uch m ore th an th e back, l i e m ade sure, how ever, th a t he would find ou t th e culprit in th e m orning by m eans of the ' m issing coat-tail. B ut w hen D octor V aughan en tered the school he saw th a t every boy of the six th form had only one ta il to his c o a t ! T hus tlie offender w en t unpunished.
Only one species of hum m ingbird Inhabits th e easte rn p a r t of th e U nited S tates. T his is th e ruby-throat, which is m ore o r less common alm ost everyw here in th a t region. T he w rite r has seen 100 of these tiny creatu res hovering about th e flowers of a buckeye tree, and th is num ber w as m aintained all day and fo r m any days, though th e individuals w ere going and coming a ll th e time.
In order to obtain definite knowledge as to th e food of hum m ingbirds in general, and th e ruby-th roat in p a rticular, 59 stom achs of th is species w ere exam ined. A lthough the hum m ingbirds a re th e sm allest o f th e avian race, th e ir stom achs a re much sm aller in p roportion to th e ir bodies than those o f o th er birds, w hile th e ir livers a re m uch larger. T h is w ould indicate these b ird s live to a considerable ex ten t upon concentrated sweets, a s s ta ted above, and th a t th e insects, sp iders, etc., found in tho stom achs do not rep resen t by any m eans all th e ir food. T he quantities of food found in these tin y stom achs a re so m inu te and th e insects comprising them are so sm all th a t identification is very difficult and uncertain .
T he food of th e hum m ingbird fam ily, i t appears, possesses bu t little economic in terest, and th a t little is m ostly in th e w rong direction. The an ts ea ten a re probably largely p aras itic species and so to be reckoned as useful, w hile th e gnats and spiders m ay be considered a s neu tral, although i t is possible th a t som e of the fo rm er m ay be o f th e gallgnat fam ily and so be harm ful. T he bugs eaten a re probably m ostly of th e in ju rious species. On th e o th er hand, hum m ingbirds do no harm to any product o f husbandry and, a s they a re beau tifu l and in te resting creatures, th e ir preservation m ay well be u rged on purely sen tim en tal grounds.
Dress and Education
W hen little g irls begin to th ink and ta lk about d ress i t is th e m other’s oppo rtun ity to form th e ir ta s te on corre c t lines. “P re tty ” is a w ord very o ften on th e sm all g irl’s lips. She w an ts to be p re tty . She understands th a t clo thes h av e much to do w ith m aking people “look p re tty .” Under th e im pression th a t they a re properly d iscouraging vanity , m any m others now try to d ivert th e child’s thoughts from the effect th a t clothes have on th e person. T h e ir m otives a re all righ t, b u t th e ir m ethods a re often all w rong and som etim es re su lt in m aking th e child too indifferent of appearances.
T he g irl w ill be saved from vanity concerning her personal beau ty if she is tau g h t to see beau ty in a w ide range of n a tu ra l objects. A flower is beautifu l ; a le a f w ith its fine veins is beaut i fu l ; so is a w aterfall, and the arch of a horse’s neck. I t is well to explain to th e li t t le girl how th e p re tty roundness o f h e r body and th e glow in her cheeks a re re la ted to health , To p reserve th e p re tty glow and keep th e ; body lithe and graceful, clothes and shoes m ust be com fortable as well as j p re tty . Shoes m ust be of th e righ t size and shape, so th a t th e litt le growing toes m ay no t be m isshapen. The litt le g irl should lea rn to th ink of h e rse lf from head to feet, and no t only of h e r face.
Given such an outlook th e l i tt le girl will regard h e r beau ty of face and figure a s som ething qu ite na tu ra l, no t distinguishing h e r g reatly from o ther healthy children, b u t yet som ething to be valued and im proved by proper care and p roper dressing. She w ill be ready to accept th e teach ing th a t dress should be selected fo r its su itab ility and becomingness. She w ill be in terested in discovering fo r h erse lf n a tu re ’s law s of color harm ony.
TREE OBJECT OF VENERATION
Hindus Believe the Birth of VishnuTook Place Beneath the Branches
o f the Peepul.
T hroughout th e E a s t th e sacred fig tre e o r peepul tre e is held in g rea t veneration by th e B uddhists and H indus. The la tte r say th a t th e b irth of Vishnu, one of the ir deities, took place beneath its branches.
I t is a very handsom e tree, growing often to a g rea t h e igh t; an evergreen th a t flowers in April, and yields, on the b a rk being cut, a sourish m ilk containing india rubber. The leaves a re heart-shaped, long, pointed, and like those of some poplars, and as the s ta lk s a re long and slender, th e leaves ru s tle like those of th e aspen. This vibration of the leaves, th e Buddhist fancies, is caused by the b rea th of G autam a, th e founder of h is fa ith , for i t w as under th is tre e G autam a slept and dream ed th a t h e w as to become th e Buddha, and w hen th e dream w as fulfilled he w as again sea ted beneath th e sam e tree.
I t is one of th is k ind w hich is not only the oldest tree, bu t th e oldest still w orshiped in th e world. I t w as p lan ted about tlie year 200 B. C. in the ancient city of A m uradhapoora, in Ceylon, and b e c a m e known a s the Bo tre e . I t s n a t iv e nam e i s Jayasri- m ahabodinwalm wai, w h ic h m e a n s “The G reat, F am ous and T r i u m p h a n t 'F ig j T ree.”
To B uddhists and H indus alike the m ost binding oath is to sw ear by “th e sacred and holy Bo tree .”
HARMONY IN NATURE FIRST
W ithout It the World Would Be Uninhabitable and H appiness an
Im possibility.
H ave you ever thought th a t harmony is th e first law of th e universe? T h a t un til th e m usic o f the spheres voiced th e harm ony of th e planets, th e re w as no hab itab le w orld? Look w ithin yourself, and w ithout, aud j realize th a t happiness has never come ; to you w ithout harm ony. To sow and to reap is of no avail w ithout th e *. harm ony of grow th. M achines inighty and m achines miscros&opic—God-made and man-made—m ust first have har- } m onious ad justm en t before a wheel I w ill turn , a violet unfold, o r a s ta r : shine.
In th e scroll of life w e find th a t an ! all-w ise Providence h as p lanned our i joys and sorrows, ou r hopes and fears, in harm ony w ith a destiny th a t i transcends hum an wisdom. I t w as the hera ld o f harm ony th a t called togethe r the M inute Men of ’7G and th e cavaliers of the South to sacrifice everyth ing fo r th e harm ony of liberty .
T he one th ing th a t c rea tes nations and h as defied harm ony in its highe s t hum an purposes is p a tr io tism ; tlie p a trio tism th a t cannot be defined a ltogether in deed and action, b u t is fe l t J in th e very depths of th e soul.—“T he j H arm ony o f L ife,” the E ditor, in Na- j tional Magazine.

Idea of Standardizing Gold Coinage of the World Is Conceded to Be
P erfectly Feasible.
W ith very slight changes the gold coinage of all im portan t countries could be standard ized In equivalents of the English sovereign and the American $5 gold piece, and frac tions and m ultiples thereof and they could be stam ped w ith the ir dollar value as well a s w ith th e ir national currency value. All gold coins under such au arrangem ent could and should be made legal tender in all the countries joining the new m onetary league. T his p lan presen ts no difficulties. I t has been in force in C anada fo r h a lf a century. The dominion governm ent can declare th e gold coin of any o ther country legal tender a t th e ir bullion value a s compared w ith the A m erican gold dollar and the English sovereign. I t would be still sim pler w ith all gold coins based on the A m erican do llar and m ultiples thereof.
F rancs, I ta lian lire, Spanish pesetas and A ustrian crow ns a re close to five to th e A m erican do llar and 25 to the pound sterling . R ussian rubles are w orth a frac tion m ore th an h a lf a dollar. The G erm an m ark is about equal to an English shilling, so i t would be a q u a rte r dollar. T he D utch florin is about 40 cents, w hich could be easily ad ju sted as tw o francs, and the D anish krone is only a cent m ore than a quarte r of a dollar. T he give and take of read ju stm en t w ould be w ithin less than 5 per cen t of cu rren t values expressed in gold and it would c rea te no confusion among ignoran t persons to make the necessary changes.
C H A N C E TO BUY AN OCEAN
T ang Hong Poh of Singapore, Offers to Sell His Sp iritual R ights
in the Atlantic.
I f any person has am bitions to invest in the A tlan tic ocean, he or she is advised strongly to communicate w ithout loss of tim e w ith T an Hong Poh of 57 H ill s tree t, Singapore, according to a postal card received by th e Boston cham ber of commerce. It is m ore than possible th a t a bargain aw aits th e p a rty on th e ground first w ith a bona fide offer, accom panied by spot cash.
The postal card, w hich is addressed to “T he Stock E xchange o r the Chamb er of Commerce, care of Chief Police Officers a t Boston, U. S. A.,” reads as fo llow s:
“My righ ts o f the oceans, being firsl c laim ant thereto , in respect of p lan ting Islands on Mid N orth A tlan tic and on o ther oceans to serve a s cities or otherw ise to th e world by my patent or by o ther m anner, have been p ro claimed by heavenly sp irits throughout the world in June, 1916. Confirmation thereof could be given. Offers a re in vited.”
According to th e la te s t inform ation none of B oston’s financiers had cabled fo r an option on th e “big pond.” Ii w ill continue to be free to all nations, apparently , un til H ong Poh’s righ ts a re recognized.

QUEER FREAKS OF NATURER iver o f Pure Ink in A lgeria— Siberian
Stream s Flow O ver Beds of Solid Ice— Singing W ell.
A river of ink is form ed in A lgeria by the union of tw o stream s, tlie w ate r of one being im pregnated w ith iron and th e other, w hich d rains a g rea t swamp, w ith gallic acid. T his combination of iron and acid form s a pure ink.
In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old and solid a s rock. A tr ib u ta ry of the L ena river has underneath th e soil w hich form s th e bed of th e river, a bed of p u re ice, over n ine fee t thick. A freak o t n a tu re is th e lost riv er in K entucky. I t is know n as th e H idden river, because no one know s its origin, and i t vanishes in to a cave leading no one knows w here. I t flows w ithout a ripple, and is of a pale, b lu ish color.
A singing well is one of th e n a tu ra l curiosities of Texas. In fine w eather a sound like th a t of an aeolian harp is given ou t by th e well. A t tim es the sound is c le a r; then i t recedes, a s if f a r aw ay ; and then i t reaches th e ear very fain tly . T hese changes take place every few m inutes, and w ith g rea t regularity .
W ith an eas t w ind blowing the w ate r in the well ge ts very low, and the m ysterious m usical sound is fa in t. A strong w est w ind causes th e w ate r to rise and the sound to increase in volum e and clearness. B efore a north w ind th e well p lays its w ildest p ranks. T h e w ater rises nearly to the top of the well, w hich is about sixty fee t deep, and gives out wild, w eird noises.

Edw ard Lear, Known to Most as Gentle Humorist, W as A lso Fam ed
a s a Painter.
M ost of us when we th ink o f E dw ard L ear th ink vaguely of som eone who w rote delectable rhym es of nonsense and fun , a m an who m ade queer pictu res of im possible crea tu res to go w ith h is rhym es, who compiled a w eird n a tu ra l h is to ry and botany all his own, and spen t h is life m aking odd jokes.
W e have sung, o r heard someone else sing, h is “Owl and th e Pussy C at”—and—and—well, th a t’s about all.
B u t E dw ard L ear’s nonsense books w ere th e very sm allest p a r t of the w ork of a long and busy life, and his re a l labo r w as th a t of a p a in te r ra th e r th an a w riter.
More than w hat he did, even, w as w hat he w as—a lovable and charm ing m an, adored by children, w ith th e gentle s t h e a rt in the world, a g rea t lover of beauty and devoted to h is friends. L ea r’s rea l ch arac te r and w ork have been described in St. N icholas, by H il- degarde H aw thorne. Though L ear’s w ork w as in general so serious, to th e end of h is life in 18S8, Miss H aw tho rne says, h e continued to w rite his ridiculous verses and m ake h is funny sketches in le tte rs to h is friends.
Diplomats Have Discarded French, and Negotiations Are Carried On in
T h at Tongue.
A fa c t no t generally recognized, but clearly shown by recen t events, is the dom inance gained by the English language. A t th e P a ris conference which laid p lans fo r the g rea t m ilitary offensive against Germ any and A ustria there w ere p resen t represen tatives from Prance, G reat B rita in , Italy , Jap an and Portugal. And they tran sac ted all th e ir business in English.
T hus English has a t la s t become the language of diplomacy, rem arks th e New Xork Tribune. Form erly, (luring a period of two o r th ree centuries, such a conference w ould have been carried on in French. S till fu rth e r back th ere w as a period of more than a thousand years when any impo rtan t in ternational gathering would have spoken L atin . E arlie r still the w orld tongue w as Greek.
English seems to deserve th is new prim acy because i t is today actually spoken, a s the ordinary speech, by a g rea te r num ber of individuals than speak any o ther tongue. T here are more Chinese, of course, than there a re B ritish and Americans, and there are more Hindoos and more Russians, including the Siberians. B u t China, R ussia and Ind ia a re divided in language. No o ther race has 100,000,000 people who can understand one another.
I t is th is num erical suprem acy of E nglish as a uniform m eans o f comm unication, together w ith its w ide dissem ination over the ea rth and the prestige of th e B ritish em pire and the U nited S tates, th a t has led to its cultivation by o ther races and its adoption as a w orld language. English is taugh t in nearly all civilized countries m ore generally th an F rench ever w as taught. I t is found in th e schools of F rance, of Germany, of R ussia, of Japan , of L atin America. Two-thirds of the w orld’s correspondence is said to be In English.

T here w ere to have been ten in the party , bu t a t the lu s t mom ent Dorothy T ennan t fa iled them . W hen he heard th is G raham e found th a t im portant business would deta in him in town and handed h is ca r over to Lawrence Brooke, who w as no t pleased w ith th e tu rn o£ events. H e and the girl who w as to have been th e fou rth In G raham e’s car w ere in trouble, and when it comes to tak ing a CO-mile drive w ith an iceberg s ittin g beside one i t is no t su rprising th a t Brooke w as in a s ta te of m ind no t descrlbable. As for the girl—w hat she thought w as not evident. B ut she ’h ad w hitened suddenly w hen D orothy’s m essage read ied them.
Tho situation w as aw kw ard, bu t it w as carried off by the girl, who sea ted herse lf beside Law rence and spared no pains to m ake general talk . T his she could do, fo r she w as m ore than a girl. She w as a woman who had traveled and read extensively and had the fo rtu n a te g ift of being agreeable w ithout touching upon the personal.
W hen it is known th a t the misunder- derstanding betw een the two had re sulted in th e breaking of the ir engagem ent i t w ill be seen th a t i t re qu ired both pride and ta c t fo r her to keep to h e r policy of trea ting the man beside h e r as a newly acquired acquain tance to whom she w as making herse lf entertain ing.
F inally anger held him in an iron grip. T h a t she could ignore—be so indifferent to p a s t re lations—w as beyond h is understanding, bu t he w as determ ined to know th e reason back of the le tte r he had received from her.
I t w as a coldly w orded le tte r and gave no explanation as to why she broke w ith him. She had m erely s ta ted the bald fa c t th a t she had changed her mind.
“If she th inks she can keep the conversation in h e r hands un til we reach B raddock she is m istaken,” he told h im self grimly.
T he ta lk becam e spasmodic, faltered , then ceased altogether. Then he spoke to her.
“I have been ■wondering, Mary, how long you would be able to keep it u p ; w ondering w hen you would sense the fac t there w as som ething of infinitely m ore im portance th an th is tr ip you have been telling me about. No doubt i t -tvas in teresting , bu t th e im portant topic to me ju s t now is ourselves. I cannot follow the in tricac ies of y o u r w om an’s m ind and I have sought in vain fo r an exp lanation of the l e t t e r you sen t m e . You d id no t answ er m y note, refused to s e e m e . I w ant to k n o w th e r e a s o n y o u b r o k e w ith m e, and be sure, M ary, th a t I will know the rea l reason, no t a make-believe one. T here m ust have b e e n a pow erful one back of it. What w as i t? ”
As she tlid no t reply, he drove to th e side of th e road and stopped th e car. I t w as then he caught a glimpse o f h e r quickly averted face. T he sight softened him, bu t did no t a lte r his determ ination to reach an understanding. B efore he again spoke she sa id :
“I should have told you, Lawrence, b u t I could not. Even now i t is difficult fo r me to speak. You know a M rs. Endicott, do you not, a Mrs. C harles E ndico tt of Boston?"
“W ell?”“She called upon m e some days ago.
She had a litt le child w ith her—a very handsom e boy. She told me his nam e w as L aw rence Brooke and th a t h is m other w as alive.”
“Still, I don’t see—” he began p e rplexed. Then h is face w hitened.
“I understand, M ary.7’ H is voice w as harsh. ' ‘B u t don’t you th ink i t would have been b e tte r to have come to me?”
“She showed m e le tters—a m arriage certificate.”
F o r some m inutes he did no t speak. T hen he slipped h is hand in to an inside .pocket and w ithdrew a le tte r. “I do no t know how Mrs. E ndicott came in to possession of the paper you m ention or th e le tter, bu t th is one is from th e boy’s m other. B efore you read i t I m ust te ll you th ere a re severa l m en bearing my name. The fa th e r of the child is the black sheep of the Brooke fam ily. I do not often speak o f him, but th is comes too close to me. Law rence deserted his w ife th ree years ago. I have ju s t secured her freedom. I hope you will be friends w ith her, Mary, fo r she has need of friends. W ill you read h e r le tte r? I t m entions you.”
I t w as a sho rt le tte r, bu t cam e from th e h ea rt of a woman who had seen deep trouble. A t the la s t she wrote;
“You m ust bring h e r to see me, Lawrence, th a t sw eetheart of yours. I can hard ly w ait until then. You have told me so muc-h of her th a t my friend liness stre tches ou t un til I feel th a t she m ust feel it. I do so hope fo r h e r friendship.”
“I feel a s she does, Mary. I cannot w ait. L et us tu rn back. W e a re too la te fo r lunch w ith th e crowd. I w ill get you som ething to ea t la te r on. M eantime, we a re going to stop in Rockville.”

Poetic Designation of the A ster on Whteh No One Seem s to Be
Able to Improve.
No one, it seems, has ever called an nste r anything bu t an aster. Spectacled scientist and tousled peasan t fo r once use the sam e language. An a s te r is an aster.
Away back w hen botanies w ere not thought of someone adm ired the pu rple and w hite delights of autum n and called them stars. A ster is the Greek w ord fo r star. 2*o one ever im proved on th is designation. They a re the ea rth s ta rs of autum n. They a re the y ear’s la s t floral fulfillm ent. They a re the completion of the cycle ; solid, substan tia l, self-reliant, yet w onderfully beautiful. Only th e freak ish witch- hazel w aits to bloom a fte r th e aste rs.
So common are th e ea rth s ta rs th a t they fa il to command adequate a ttention. Every w ild roadside is alive w ith them . E very p a s tu re displays them , every woodland, every brook vale. A t home in the m ost entrancing dell of th e rem ote rav ine lands and equally a t home w here the tin cans fe s te r and ru s t in sham eful heaps they m ark the y ear’s la s t effort to beautify th e world.
Of as te rs th ere is an abounding variety . Commonly they a re classed as purp le or w h ite ; bu t th is is absurdly superficial. P u rp le is no p roper classification of the m any shades of tinged b lue which th e frost-nipped fields and woods display. A nd even th e less a ttrac tive w hite k inds a re of m any varieties.
I t is well to go stargazing in autum n and to gaze dow nw ard fo r ea rth stars. All the s ta rs a re no t in th e vaulted firm am ent. W e are, ourselves, ea rth crea tu res and tb e ea rth s ta rs a re more com prehensible th an th e s ta rs of the sky w ith tlie ir sense-dulling distances and m agnitude. B u t th e ir m essage is the same, th e m essage of life and wonder. W ithout w onder life would be li ttle.—Cleveland P la in D ealer.

How Robert Louis Stevenson Succeeded in Convincing His Fath er
o f T h at Fact.
Rev. A rchibald B isset, m in ister of R atho fo r over fo rty years, w as Robe rt Louis Stevenson’s closest friend. Mr. B isset’s in tim acy w ith Stevenson belonged to his early ' ‘E dinburgh days,” when he w as try ing to become an au th o r despite p a te rn a l opposition, and Air. B isset u sed to te ll how th e elder Stevenson, having got h is re luc tan t son safely anchored in h is office one day, gave him a problem to solve regard ing bridge pressure, and we&t off to a m eeting. Louis c as t his eyes over th e task , pulled Lewes’ “L ife of Goethe” out of h is pocket, and applied him self to th a t. “Well, Louis,” said the fa th e r on h is re tu rn , “have you w orked out th a t calculation?” “No,” w as the bored reply, “I knew th a t nothing depended on my doing i t ; I haven’t th e sligh test curiosity as to w hat th e p ressu re would* b e ; tell me, and I will tak e i t on your au thority .” The lighthouse engineer looked a t his son, and then rem arked slowly, “I th ink you’d be tte r go h o m e!”—M anchester G uardian.

Beware o f H asty Speech.H asty speech is often erroneous and
regrettab le . To say tlie very least, it is frequently ungram m atical, slangy, incoherent and unintelligible. People express them selves in bud English of-
j ten tim es not because they do no t know j the law s of language, bu t because they
do not th ink before they spealc. Many a one uses cu rren t slang because too
j careless to m ake choice of equally strong aud much m ore elegant terms. We voice our thoughts loosely and in
, language w hich needs to be explained ! and re-explained because we have not
taken tin e to use th e rig h t w ords in their riuh t connections.—Onward.
