WrlUr Tails of Snallih Woman Who Hu Given All She Hid to the Country, We Ensllsli do not rend our ensir ! mltj lists uiy uiuro. . Many of us tlnre not. When wo moot, we do not even peak of those who hnvo gono uway. A wry touching thing wis told me by one of my nelghlHirs. Hu was the Just of twenty-four officers In one of the Gordon regiments. He snld that the places were Just tilled up its soon n they were emptied, and they never poke of those who hud fallen. That brings the reality of tub thing to you. In my own little country Sooihnnl jou will Ond many, iiiuny vlllagis from which the Highland regiments nuve been recruited. There nro' no boys left to como back. They nrs all dead. . - ... Not mnny vieeks before I came to this country I was up In the Gordpn country, and on n Sunday nitwit I was speaking in a church on the spiritual side of the war. At tho close a wom an came to me, a little, simple, coun try woman, dressed In tho uniform ot : the Gordon Highlanders, holding a yellow missive, which I, alas, knew ton . well. "The war ottice department re grets to Inform that r. was killed In action." . She laid this little missive beside one of the por traits, and said, "That came yestenhiv. That'sllmmlc. He's the last of Uio three. "I hear you nro going to Amer ica, Will you tell American mother; I have given nil my lads? I hud only three and I would glvo slit, If I had them, for' the some cause." Another friend of mine has given all her five sons. Slio Is n widow and sho has none left; but she Is working lni'mio of the canteens with no shadow on hor face.-Mrs. A. Burnett-Smith in "the Atlantic, Monthly. " ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES K College-Bred Flowers That Nestle In Ivy-Covered Wall of University of Washington. , They nro college-hred roses and their high education seems to have had a very elevating effect on their aspira tions. Students on the University of Washington enmpns roeently noticed on an Ivy-covered wall of Demiy hall, way up on a level with the third floor' windows, a spray of coppery roses, the Seattle I'ost-Intelllgcncer says. The branch which hears them reaches out from "the heavy Ivy vines and Is thei only sign of a rosebush In the neigh burhutid.' ... Some curiosity was aroused as. to whether the flower was grafted nn'-'the Ivy or whether It was rooted In tlm wall. Neither supposition was found to be correct. A number of yenrsyipp. the rose blossomed modestly near the' ground. Then either the crowding of the Ivy or the lofty ambitions Inspired by the Intellectual surromidiiiEs ' forced It to shoot up so that if could extend its blossoms to the sun just outside of the windows used by''flio public-speaking and Spanish 'depart ments. '';' Its long, branchless stem Is covered by the Ivy and Its top flourishes In" ilio so,ft and musical sounds from the Spanish room nnd the forceful oratory from the public speakers. Look at the Hat Cords. ry A military man can Immediately tell to what division n soldier belongs by glancing nt the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen tho color of the hat cord denotes Utile or nothing. . It Is an Interesting feature to be fa miliar with, especially now wheQ so many soldiers nre seen all over the country, nnd anyone who takes tho trouble to learn the following list will he rewarded by being able to satisfy his own curiosity respecting an.Vi,sql dler he happens to see without having I to ask Questions : A cord of light I blue signifies that the wearor belongs sldercd u delicacy."

German Genera!. Staff. The German general staff is not the creation of the kaiser. It Is the ere ntion of the army, and In Geniiimy the army is the nation. In the old days, when the principality of Bran denburg was becoming the state of. Prussia, It was the .elector w ho gov erned with unchecked, nulocrntic au thority. Even when linindenburg had become Prussia the kings of Prussia domlnnted nnd owned the country ns completely ns the head of the house dominated the family, or the manu facturer owned his business. The cab inet of the great elector, the tobacco parliament of Frederick William, 'tho Potsdam library ot Frederick the Great, these have merged Into the of- flees of the general staff, In which Is consecrated the surrender of ,the state to the army, and of the army to 'the army chiefs. Such a Relief. . She put down th" book with a sUh. "What Is It, darling?" he asked. "Ah, dearest, I'm so happj-," she re-, plied. "But yon had such a sad look In your "yes Just now." "I know. I've been rending nbont the niihopplness that tlie wives of men t genius have nlways had to bear. Oh, Alfred, dear, I'm so glad you're lust nn ordinary sort of a fellow," tray Stories.

Among many - things . the United States has learned to do for Itself Is the raising of seeds, bulbs and plants formerly imported from Kurope. When it became difficult to procure azaleas from Ilelgluui nud tulips, hyacinths, narcissi, etc., from Holland, Americans began to experiment with cultivating theso bulbs and plants In their own country. And they've succeeded. They'll bo able to restock the barren flower gardens' of Europe later' on.

While the new. food cnmpnlgn was being talked about nt Seattle, Ran dolph I Summerfield of Singapore, ! who has lived forty years In the Malay Slates, arrived on a government mis sion. He is n civil engineer. "The world's live-stock market has been dec imated," sc!d Mr. Summerfield, "but If worst comes to worst and there's a real meat famine, the jungles of the Malay States can supply vast quanti ties of meats and fats. Our forests nre full of monkeys of all kinds. Our streams teem with crocodiles. The huge anaconda snake Is numerous nnd prolific. Monkey meat, cooued French or Spanish style, . billed on the menu as veal, would make nn epicure yearn for more. There's no disagreeable! sen timent about killing n crocodile or the bon constrictor. Portions of the 'croco's' tali are extraordinarily good, and the bon constrictor Is n culinary favorite in India.
