He passed down the aisle with thé serious, self- contained air of one on whom. the life of a fellow-creature depends. A young man awaited him at the door. “Well?” said the doctor. \“Well, sir, what fs it?” “Doctor,” said the young man, as he drew a large wallet from, his breast pocket, “Fm Cash and Payup’s new collector, Would it be convenient for you to settle that small, account this evening?” The Social Conscience. The most important discovery of the present “age is not the discovery of the telephone, or of wireless teleg- faphy, or of the antitoxins of dis- ease, but the discovery of the social conscience. Never before in the his- tory of the world have people been so touched by social sympathies, moved by social passion, so eager for social amelioration. Wage-earners and capitalists, philosophers and plain peo- ple, wise and ignorant, are equally concerned fer this application of social duty. When some philosophical his- torian recalls the character of the pres- ent age it may well be that he shall describe it as the age of the social question—Rev. Francis -G, ‘Peabody, D. D.

(t Was Here That D’Artagnan, Then Young Officer of Cadets, Won Last. ing Fame. up after they had striven to make it an impregnable fortress, has been the scene of many battles and sieges. As the “key to Flanders,” it was the ‘ objective of more than a dozen great! ; campaigns in the last 600 years, a writer in the Kansas City Times re- calls. Strangely, the stubbown trench fight- ing that has been gbing on before Ba- ; Paume during the last year is the re- ; occurrence of one of the notable fea- tures of the Thirty-Years’ war, that long struggle that deve ted Europe in the middle of the seventeenth cen- tury. The armies of Ferdinand II of Austria and of Maximilian of Bavaria had pushed across Germany and into France and held Bapaume and the important territory which lies about it. Marshal de la Meflleraye, with a strong French army, laid siege to the city, The Austrians and Bavarians had strongly fortified it and had dug powerful intrenchments around it on three sides. French attacks” were beaten .back and finally the besiegers settled down to a wearing, waiting struggle. Then, as in 1916, the besleg- {ng soldiers chafed under the monot- onous strain of trench warfare. De \la Meilleraye, though regarded as one tof the most brilliant commanders of ‘his day, was freely criticized and the imperious and impatient Richelieu sent word finally in 1641 that Bapaume Inhst be taken. De Ia Meilleraye preferred to with- hold his attack longer, but feared to do so, He assembled his subordinate generals for a conference as to the method of attack. One of them said that a young officer of cadets named D’Artagnan had observed a point of weakness in the gity’s walls. D’Arta- |gnan was called in and stated that at ithe point which attracted his atten- ition there seemed to be a weaker de- fense than elsewhere. “Simulate an attack on another part of the city and give me a company of my comrades from Gascogne, I promise you I'll get Into the place,” he sald. “Well, sir,” the marshal replied, “I'll you what you ask, but you will ver with your head for the suc- cess of this audacious adventure.” The following day Bapaume was tak- en by assault, after D?Artagnan’s men had pierced the deronses at the point he had promised. The same D'’Arta- gnan later became a marsuzi of France, Bapaume is a position of vital im- portance; it marks the last limit of the last ridge of the Artois hills to which an army pressed from south and west can cling. After Bapaume come the plains of Flanders, with Cambral Valenciennes and Douai in plain sight. Louis XI is the first commander his- tory records as a besieger of Bapaume. He destroyed the city. Francois I be- sfeged and took it. Later it-fell Into the hands of the Spaniards, and after that the Austrians held it for awhile. It has been French since its capture tn 1641 by De la Meilleraye, In the Franco-Prussian war ‘the French won t 80, one of their few victories at Bapaume, General Faidherbe, checking the Ger- man advance at that point. Though Bapiume in time of peace had only 4,000 inhabitants, it was an impor it manufacturing center with extensive cambric, calico, thread and sugar industries: Some Birds Are “Sprinters.” Birds with short, square wings, like the king bird, quail and ruffled grouse, are sprinters; those with a wide stretch of wings are “distance run- ners.” Birds of the first class attain their bursts ‘of speed) through their very rapid wing stroke; birds of the second class have sustained powers of flight, but get under way more slowly. All the gallinaceous fowl are sprint- ers. They take wing like a bullet; their wings make a loud, whirting sound. ‘The quail or ruffled grouse can gain full momentum within sixty fect of rising; the wings beat from five to || Seven times a second. The quail cov- ers from forty-five to fifty feet the first second away from the gun; his wings flash like a rapidly revolving wheel. The wings of the ruffled grouse roar until the sound can be heard 200 yards away. Handel's Holograph Will. Musicians will be keenly interested in the fact that the famous holograph will of Handel, signed by the -com- | lish masters—Lawes, Morley, Carey, Bapaume, which the Germans gave! 7 poser in full, with four signed ‘codicits, has been sold by auction in London. The will contains ‘the bequest to Mr. Christopher Smith (Handel’s gmanu- ensis) of “my large Harpischord, my, little House Organ, my Musick Books, and five hundred pounds sterl.” In the collection are relics of early Eng- Playford, ete. Among moderns there is the MS. score of Sir Arthur Sulli- van’s anthem, “Sing Unto the Lord,” written when the future Savoyard was a choirboy at the Chapel Royal. Won the Bet.

The department of agriculture has Investigated the life history of several varieties’ of microbes, and finds that these microscopic creatures are more highly organized than we have sus- pected'in the past. They pass through several stages of growth, which has often been mistaken in the past for distinct varieties. They were found to be divided into two sexes, while in the past the microbe has been considered sexless organism. Keep Cheerful. Be cheerful in the struggle to meas- ure up your ideal.
