I spent the night sleeping better than at home on straw In a water- surrounded post looking across to Dix- mude, which our own soldiers aptly speakt or as "Thlckmud." It Is true that our men are rather strangers this way. They have their hands full over at Ypres, which they call, as a matter or course, "Wipers." There Is, If you remember, a Ypres tower on the old walls of Rye, at home In Sussex, which has been given the same pro nunciation. The British Tommy does not commonly carry maps, and conse quently the peculiar, half-humorous twists he gives to place names have a tendency to become permanent There Is, for example, a place near Poper inghe called Matou, which has quite easily become "What-O!" just asWyt schaete has changed with celerity to "Whitesheet," and Fleurbalx to "Flow er Box," while Crotx-au-Bols impos sible for a British tongue to circum vent has become "Crossboys."

If coated, your little one's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless, doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally, or is fever ish, stomach sour, breath bad; has sore throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and In a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigest ed food and sour bile gently moves out of Its little bowels without grip ing, and you have a well, playful child again. Ask your druggist for a 60 cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which contains full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups. The War's Surprise. At the beginning of the war it was said that every one of the nations had surprises in store for their enemies and the world. There were wonderful military and naval inventions that had been kept inviolably secret and that were to be sprung on the foe when least expected. Five months of war have now passed and the one supreme surprise for the world is that highly civuizea nations do not seem to have railized the awful loss of men that would be involved. The 42-centimeter gun that reduces forts thought almost impregnable in a few days is as noth- ing compared to the loss of more than 3,000,000 of men in killed, wounded and missing, which, according to ap parently conservative estimates, the Germans and Austrlans have suffered up to this time.

SHOW GREAT SKILL Australian Sheepdogs Are Mar vels at Their Work. Have Been Brought to High Degree of Intelligence Work of Sheep Station Irrfpossible Without Them. Sheepdog trials may be considered a national pastime if not a national sport in Australia. There Is an annual agricultural show in every town and village in the pastoral parts. There are general competitions on the lines of the American county and state fairs. There are horse races, buck Jumping, shearing, log chopping, and other strenuous competitions. But not one or these excites more interest than the sheepdog trials: and in these tests Australians have set the example of certain of the most serious tasks that a man and a dog may be asked to ac complish with three strange sheep- sheep that had never previously met until tney bad a moment before been turned out from three separate pens to be packed'or gathered together bv the dog. It was the Australians who first put forward, and they still maintain it, the maltese cross test The eieht six-foot hurdles are set in the shape of a maltese cross. The passages are of a width that will permit only one sheep to pass through at a time. The animals have to be driven north and south and east and west, all the passes being open at the time. The skill and patience of the dog are here tried to the utmost, and there can be little wonder there Is a gasp of satisfaction and a cheer of Joy when the sheep have been successfully driven through these narrow ways. The Australian sheepdogs are the smallest in use in the world, but are quick and lively in their work. It is no wonder that the Australian gives much thought for his dogs, for it goes without saying that the work of the sheep station could not be accomplished without them. In ordinary cases It is reckoned that one dog can do the work of half a dozen men; in many Instances a dog is superior to 60 humans; and where there are Buch vast flocks of nimble sheep, such as the merinos in Aus tralia are. it would be imDossible to round them up so that thev mav be examined, counted, and duly looked over without the dogs.

Plant Pathology. Among the "young sciences" now being developed stands plant path ology, which is Intended to be for plants what medical science is for man. Few people realize, says Dr. E. S. Reynolds, the large loss of money caused every year by plant diseases, and fewer yet know that much has already been done to diminish this loss. A conservative estimate of the annual loss through the bitter rot of apples in this country is $10,000,000. By proper spraying methods 90 per cent of the loss from peach yellows has been saved. Oat smut has nearly lost its terrors. Curious facts have been developed, such as this: The common grain rust, although Identi cal in form and appearance on wheat, oats ana rye, cannot be taken from blw one of the three hosts and grown on either of the others.

Run your forefinger round the rim of each ear. You are almost sure to find In one of them, and quite posBibly In both, a tiny hard lump. It Is only a relic of the days when, Innumerable hundreds of centuries ago, man was only one of the animals of the wild, and had a pointed ear, like a wolf's or dog's What good is the little furrow that runs down from the nose to the middle of the upper lip? None. But it, too, has a history. It is a legacy from the time when the human upper lip was In two parts a hare-Hp, like that of the rat tribe. The split has healed up long ago, but the new skin is bo recent in the history of the race that hair re fuses to grow on that furrow, a writer in the Philadelphia North American observes. When a fly settles on you anywhere can you serenely twitch that patch of skin and shake him off? Probably not; but once these old skin muscles, now almost dead after centuries of clothes wearing, were as active as those of a horse. A few a very few people can twitch their ears like a dog, and do so Instinctively when startled, and cases do occasionally occur in which the scalp can be moved at will. In one very interesting case men tioned in medical books the man could hurl books a couple of yards away simply by twitching the muscles on the top of his head. But, generally speaking, our skin muscles are even more dead nowadays than our ear muscles. We've neglected them. The only set still in use are those we em ploy when we want to raise our eye brows. The appendix is another thing we could do quite well without It is a relic from old vegetarian days. It has been workless ever since mankind started meat eating and is apt to get in the way, The large intestine, too, is a thing we really don't need nowadays. The many coils of this long tube are kind to the doctors, but are quite unneces sary, now mankind has become a flesh-eating animal, and merely pro vide a resting place for germs. We don't really need to carry a great in testine about with us. Another thing we don't need much nowadays is the instinct to walk on hands and feet together You think walking upright the only natural way for man? It isn't. If ever you have to make your way along some narrow plank or some narrow, ditny mountain ledge, you will find the old Instinct strong in you. Why Is It? A man in an uptown ti le street saw what he thought was a cheap glass brooch lying in the gu:ter. He wa4 not interested in cut gUss so did not pick it up. Another man who was watching the actions of the Bret man picked up the pin and later tried to sell it for 60 cents. He tried in vain, notwithstanding, as thi3 has recently become a cold, unfeeling world; and if, because of the war taxes, folks will not pay 90 cents for a perfectly good dollar bill, recently offered at that price, It is altogether unreason able to expect them to pay 60 cents for a supposedly glass pin. The bargain sale was thus an utter failure. Sub sequently the "glass" Jewels, strange to say, turned out to be diamonds and rubies worth $500. If it is so difficult to distinguish between a 60-cent and a $500 bauble, wherein lies the ad vantage of having the expensive gem? Incidentally and curiously, the finder of the pin, who took a chance, was ar rested. The query obtrudes itself, what for? New York Sun. Cossacks' Terrible Attack. The Russian Cossacks owe their success mainly to a form of attack which is peculiarly their own. It is known as the lava. Cossack horses are specially trained to carry out the maneuver. The leading sotnla (squad ron) spreads out to right and left, and the others, at full speed, form up on each side of it in a semicircle or half moon. Every man with a lance is at tended by a man wearing a sword, and all the officers are in front of the men of each sotnla. The other squadrons do not wait for a special order, but at once adopt the same formation, en deavoring to surround the enemy from another side. With loud shouts remi niscent of the Indian warwhoop, the Cossacks rush down on the foe, and even though the first assault be re pulsed, another lava pours down on the shaken enemy. This system of at tack takes its name, of course, from the liquid products of volcanic activity. New Fossil Bed. Near Fargo, N. D., a bed of marine fossils has been uncovered. Scientists find evidence In the deposit to support the theory now and then advanced that the Dakotas at one time formed the bed of a great sea The discovery was made by W. T. Stanton, paleontol ogist with the United States geological survey, and by him as well as by oth ers Is looked upon as putting an end to further debate on the subject The presence of the fossil formations can be accounted for only on the basis that at one time water covered the area to a considerable depth. Vigilance Prevents Forest Fires. The Boise national forest in Idaho had 30 fires during the past summer, yet 28 were held iow to less than ten acres, and ot these IS were less than one-quarter of an acre- The supervisor says this success was due to a lookout tower and to efficient tetaohnne and heliograph service. WRONG MEANING OF MESSAGE Young Wife Makes Amusing Interpre tation of Scripture In a Telegram From Girl Friend. They were speaking of the remark able way in which telegraphic mes sages are occasionally interpreted, and this story was recalled by Governor-elect David I. Walsh of Massa chusetts. Some time ago the stork visited the home of a happy young couple in a New England town, and wishing to notify her girl chum who lived in a distant city, the mother sent the fol lowing telegram: "For unto us a child is born. Isaiah 9:6." "Oh, John," exclaimed the girl chum to her husband on receiving the dis patch. "I have Just got a telegram from Gladys and what do you think?" "You have got me chucked out at first in the conundrum game," indul gentlj smiled John. "What's the an swer?" "Gladys has a baby boy!" enthusi astically responded little wifey. "His name is Isaiah and he weighs nine pounds and six ounces!" Philadelphia Telegraph. Reciprocity. "You don't feel any personal resent ment toward the man who defeated you?" "No," replied the statesman. "I'm too broad-minded for that, of course." "As a matter of fact, you are doubt less grateful to htm for allowing you to leave behind the cares of public of fice and devote yourself to more lucra tive private business." "Certainly. But I never forget a fa vor. I'm going to do my best to give him an opportunity to feel the same kind ot gratitude next election." Faulty Measurements. "1 wouldn't have minded what you said about me," said the man who protests mildly, "if you hadn't been so inconsistent" "What do you mean?" asked the vi tuperative person. "Your sense of proportion 1b wrong. In that letter you wrote about me, you started out by saying my head was swelled, and in the next sentence you refer to me as a 'pinhead.' " HARD ON HER.

Marriage should be looked upon as a vocation and not a mere avocation, argues one who signs herself "Femin ist" In an open letter to one of the dally papers. The writer, who had been a teacher, but who is now a mother, has been surprised that being a wife and mother Is a "profession, the successful performance of whose duties requires all my effort and all my time." "Feminist" thinks that wo men generally do not realize this or refuse to face It, that young women contemplating matrimony should be made to realize that they are choosing a profession quite as important as medicine, law or business, and that, if possible, a preparatory course should be required before granting the certificate to practice the profes sion of wife and mother. This sounds very well and would be admirable if it could be carried through. But as there are two parties in marriage it would be very onesided if the woman received all the training. A good, stiff preparatory course for the young man contemplating the profession of hus band a.d father would be quite as much In order. If we have one let us have the other.
