257 GERMAN DVE R 1. (By: United Press) X Jan.;10.—The capture of 267 secret German dye formulas is the most important economic event of the war, says the Daily Mail to-}' ‘‘day, It will smash the German monopoly on’ dyes, says the paper. .'.l'heoodg Feliows me'gt? in lggular session this evening, this being the first ‘'meeting conducted by the new officers. ' All' members are requested to’ be.present, there being some im- portalit business to .transact. % Many Big Assignments. o * ! Wn a single year, his brother says, Richard Harding Davis reported the ‘coronation at Moscow, the millennial celebration at Budapest, the' Spanish- ‘.Cuban war, the McKinléy inaugura- tion, the Greek-Turkish war and the queen’s jubilee. And the number’ of :itles of his books on a fly leaf num- bers ‘exactly 29. -Also-he always had time for a little nonsense now and then —as when he organized a relief expe- dition to rescue John Drew from Har lem. 5 Not So Fierce. i The class had been studying about | the house fly, says Good Health, and ", the teacher had made much of the danger with which the germ-carrying habits of the insect threaten the pub- lic health. The lesson sank deep into the mind ot little George, who later " was asked to write a composition on the subject. “The fly is a insec,” he wrote with difficulty; “he has six lezs; he is more dangerous than a lion, but . I had rather a fly would bite me than alipn.” ° . : . - His Business. Robert Louls Stevenson, who is best xnown to children through his “Child’s .Garden of Verse,” was always fond of animals, and very kind to them, and one time he made a very neat,. little retort o a man who was beating his. dog. When Stevenson interfered, the map ‘asked, grufily, “Well, what busl- ness 18’ it of yours? He aln’t your dog.” “No, but he's God's dog,” Stc- -venson declared, stoutly, “and I'm here ‘i’ to protect him!” And he did. Blessings. There is a blessing on limitation—a blessing proper to the time in which we have to learn. Our present blind- ness may be only the condition of full - sight beyond.

We do not, if we are wise, “trouble the Infant class with the high- er problems of the school.—Exchange. . Qulick to Catch On. - Edward had an uncle who owned n grocery and market. On Saturdays it was Edward’s delight to go there to help. ‘On this particular day a neigh- bor chanced in. Finding Edward there, she thought she would find out how much the little fellow knew about business. Seriously she sald, “Ed, have you chickens today?” The youngster's reply was: “Yep, we have all kinds, allve, dead, dressed and undressed.” Question of Certainty. “Quite a number of persons have asked me of late if my niece is going to marry a certain young man,” ad- ‘mitted the Old Codger. “I have been ‘'obliged to tell them that she is and she isn’t. You see, while she is certain that she 18 going to marry him, he will ‘be an uncertain young man uatil after it has'happened to him.” Maintaining Order in China. In China every member of a family 18 responsible for order in that family : nd every inhabitant of a city is jointly responsible with every other citizen for its tranquility. If a younger son in a family should commit a ~vime, the older son Is likely to be taken into cystody for the offense and, perhaps punished. d . Leaves Baby in Sand. In Africa when a mother gets tired of carrying her baby in the leather bag slung on her back, she digs a hole in the, sand under some shady bush ‘and leaves the baby i it till she is ready to take him again. So declare “travelers from that continent of “trange peoples and strange customs. To Investigate Leprosy. The Japanese government is making a thorough Investigation of leprosy throughout Japan.
