i B y ARNO D O SCH -FLEU RO T.^ C o rre s p o n d e n t oi t h e N e w Y o rk W o rld .)

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

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.

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.

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

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.

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.”

“W hy Rockville?” she questioned.“I t is th e G retna Green of M aryland,

and I am going to run aw ay w ith you,'’ h e answ ered lightly.

“Very well,” she said soberly. “I have had a week of misery. I am now ready f o r a ta s te of happiness.” (C o p y rig h t, 1916, b y tlie M cC lu re N e w s p a

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.

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.

Curious Error.In a noted p ic tu re exhibited not so

long ago th e a rtis t, well-known fo r his ability to “hold up th e m irro r to natu re ,” nevertheless m ade a curious erro r w hich he would no t have committed had he taken the trouble to acquain t h im self w ith certa in hab its of th e beast he portrayed in th a t p icture.

A tiger is shown slaking h is th irs t a t a stream . Tlie a r t is t does no t show much more th an th e head of th e beast and i t is life-sieed ; b u t he h as m ade : tlie blunder of burying tlie m outh of th e crea tu re f a r below th e surface of th e w ater, m aking i t d rink as one may see a horse any day drink ing a t a j trough and no t lapping up th e liquid like a cat, as, o f course, a tig er w ould. 1 I t is curious th a t an a r t is t who could pa in t well enough to command fo r his p ic tu re a p lace on th e w alls of an imp o rtan t exhibition could m ake such a fundam ental m istake.

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.
