I , WAR AND PEACE CASUALTIES More 8pectacular to Lota Limb Battle Than In Factory, but ne. Education It Neceiaary. In George Edward Barton, author of "Re-Education," recently gave out a most Interesting interview in Wash ington, whero he had gone to see the secretary of war, the French ambas sador and tho heads of several de partments of the surgeon general's ollico on tho subject of tho rc-cduca-tion of maimod and crippled soldiers. Mr. Barton, who is head of Consola tion Houso in New York, said in part: "Tho needs of the re-education of cripples are not made by war, but are only intensified by it; wo draft whole army of industrial cripples every year. The federal commiS' sioii on industrial relations gives the annual list of accidents, approxi mately, 35,000 fatalities and 700,000 injuries involving disability of over lour weeks. "That theso figures would bo equalod by tho casualty list in our army overseas is improbable, and while it is perhaps more spectacular to lose one's arm or leg in the din tho turmoil of battle than it is to lose tho same member in that of 11 mill, factory or foundry, tho results so far as tho individual is con cerned aro practically the same, and tho needs of society for the re education of that man are identical." Mr. Burton's book formulates a plan whereby disabled soldiors may Do made almost or wholly self-sup porting. Soldier In Pari Lose Their Fancy fop Ragtime by Frequent Attend. ' ance at Opera. It is curious to think that the gov ernment is sending American sol diers to. Europe to get a musical edu cation, according to Samuol Lcl loucho, lance corporal of tho Thrco Hundred and Twenty-eighth infan-1 try, army of France, who is m New York on sick leave, says the Now ' York Herald. Tho orchestra had just played tho jvorturo from "I Pugliucci," and tho corporal hud listened to it with rapt attention. "Ah, but I lovo that kind of mu sic," ho said. "I nover cared for it much boforo I left my home in West Haven, Conn., about thrco years ago and joined tho French army, but thoro in France I heard nothing else J. grow to lovo fino music, and now dolest tho other kind ragtime and All that sort of thing. It will bo so with tho American soldiors in France. You see, they admit tho American soldiors free to the opera thore, and thoy soon learn to lovo it I saw how it was before I left Paris. Tho musical taste of the boys was being improved rapidly, and tho longer thoy stay over there tho moro critical they will become, so that eventually it will help music in this country when they gel buck to their homes, for they will insist upon huv ing what is good."

"Sorb," said Hop, with a hurt ox prossion on his handsomo faco, "you shouldn't have told that story about us that appeared in tho papor, with , a cut, Wednesday." "Why not?" "Becauso it wasn't true, that's wh) not. And it puts mo in a bad light It represents me as trying to makt a touch for five dollars.

Charles Warren, English archcolo- gist, attempted excavations abovo tho "Wall of Wailing," which is un doubtedly part of tho original Tem ple of Solomon and revered by pil grim Jews who wcop nnd mourn thoro for the departed glories of Ju dah. Ho proved before ho was stopped in his work that tho original level of tho valley just outsldo of that wall was at least eighty-eight feet bolow tho present level. Passing down this valley, relates tho Chicago Examiner, aro some tombs still abovo ground, but not thoroughly explored, which have been notable to all pilgrims. There is tho so-called tomb of Absalom, exe crated by tho Jews as thoy pass, and behind it is an oxcavatcd sepulchral chamber, called that of Johosuphat.' It is Held by tradition that in thii area aro tlio tombs of Isaiah the Prophot, and King Hozckiah, and nearby arb tho tombs of tho Prophot Zechariah and of King Uzziah.

"I'll just call her up and tell her it is too bad a morning for hor to go out, when sho docsn t have to, and that I'll bring the things homo my- soif this evening," ho thought. Cynical reader, this story doesn't turn out tho way you think.

In 1017 there were nearly 3,000,- 000 gardens, aggregating 1,130,000 acres 01 city and town laud uuder cultivation. As theso gardens wero tilled intensively, the products had relatively high value, being figured in terms of retail prices which would havo otherwise been paid for food purchased olisewhuro, it estimated that their yield was valued at S3S0,- 000,000, or $17.50 per family. I he glass jar manufacturers sold about 119,000,000 cunning jars and n survey of the household canning in 20 typical towns throughout the country showed that housewives used but one new jar to over three and one- quarter old jars already on hand. On this basis tho housewives of the country put up nearly 500,000,000 quart jars of vegetables and fruits, which is believed to bo three times as Britain' Ruler Fight With a Salmon and Then Dine on : Haggl and Whltky Grog. An article in a French paper de scribing King George salmon fish ing is too good to bo lost. It rims, (in translation) : "Ho is an angler of the first force, this king of Britain. Behold him there, as he sits motionless under his umbrella patiently regarding his many-colored floats I How obstinate ly ho contends with the elements I It is a summer day of Britain ; that is to say, a day of sleet, and fog, and tempest. But what would you? It is as they love it, those who would follow the sport. Presently tho king's float begins to descend. How he strikes 1 Tho hook is implanted in tho very bowels of tho salmon. The king rises. He spurns aside his foot stool. Ho strides strongly and swift ly .toward tho rear. In good time the salmon comes to approach himself to the bank. Aha!

Martin lias a permit from the for est service to uso timber on tho north side of Devil's gulch to mako ties for tho railroad, but tho railroad re quires that tho ties be delivered on the right of way, and to do this tho gulch must be crossed. For this pur pose .Martin felled a small spruce treo from brim to brim, and, when he finishes a tie, shoulders it and pucks it over. A party of hunters appeorcd upon the scene u few days since, and. not daring to attempt tho frail cross ing themselves, asked Martin why iu the namu of all-possessed he did not fell a safe footing across the chasm. Tho tio-cutter replied that for bis' purpose an eight-inch log was as ipod us an eight-foot log, and it had not occurred to him thut it wus dan gerous.
