On account of the climate, the lack of food and the ubiquitous In­ dian tlie Island was voted as unin- it: 1 liable by tlie colonists, who packed their bel.actings ami took the next sl ip back to England and civilization. But Raleigh was not discouraged. He sent out another colony, which consent­ ed to stay, and the man in charge of the expedition returned with the glad news. Four years later, when Sir Wal­ ter ltalelgh sent liim to report on the progress of the colony, he found on the island no trace of settlers or set­ tlement save the inscription “Crouton” carved on a tree. Sir Walter then gave up the Roanoke island project as hopeless. Roanoke island Ims now been in­ habited for many years, chiefly by fish­ ermen and life-savers. The latter are mgroes from the coast guard station nt I’ea island, which Is separated from Roanoke island by the sound. I’ea island, the only coast guard station in tills country manned by negroes, is off a dangerous section of the coast. A derelict ship cast on the beach is suck­ ed farther into the sands by each tide. The colored guardsmen have established an excellent record in a trying and dangerous station.—Chi­ cago Dnlly News. I i i BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS Their Employment Is Said to Have Gone Far Beyond the Range of Probability. A secret long cherished In tlie Brit­ ish war department lias just been dis­ covered—the use of bees as messen­ gers. No longer will the aide de camp spur his staggering horse through shot ami shell to carry tlie message to tlie front. Instead lie will don his gloves and mask, and. going to tlie portable be, hive back of headquarters, seize one of the faithful little Insects, and send the well-trained messenger i through the air. Whoever possesses ii receiving outfit can rend tlie secrets of tlie wireless; one can cut the wires of tlie ordinary telegraph, and tlie pigeon does not al­ ways escape tlie bullet. Therefore, other means have been sought. In America, the general staff dreams of using as a dispatch bearer —the bee. I The bee, like the carrier pigeon, guided by its marvelous instinct, re­ turns to the hive from wherever he may be liberated. Tiny dispatches, which can be deciphered with the mag­ nifying glass, cun be attached to its breast. But something better still lais been found. By an ingenious process tlie wings of tlie tiny insect are sensitized, and by means of microscopic photog­ raphy the message is imprinted there­ on. Obliterated Mattie. "If I have to come In here again to speak to you children I shall punish you well, mind that!” warned mother, angrily. “I don’t want to hear another sound from either of you today.” She went back to her work, and a most un­ hoped-for silence followed. Finally, going back to the children’s room, she found Edna calmly playing with her dollle, but Mattie had disappear»«!. “Where is little sister?" anxiously demanded mother. ‘T’ll explain about her,” bedmed Edna. "You ’member you said y >u didn't want to heard another sound from either of us today, and I minded you nicely, but when I gave Mattie a few pokes she got ready to commence screeching again, so 1 pushed her into tlie closet and locked the door on her, ami," she triumphantly addl’d, “you couldn't hear a sound out of her now if she screeched lier head off.” Too iluch Soap Bad. Many persons abuse soap by making a stiff, creamy lather in bathing, under the belief that this is neccessary to dissolve dirt that fills the pores of the skin. On the contrary, Dr. Samuel Dixon, health commissioner of Penn­ sylvania. says very little soap is re­ quired to break up dirt and permit water to remove foreign substances from the pores so that glands may perform their normal function. Ex­ cessive use of soap usually tills the pores with fatty substances and re­ sults In Imperfect action of the sweat glands, which is recognized us a cause of disense, especially of a respiratory nature. Mongrels for War Work. “The psychology of the dog In war Is R subject to consider now that the military demand for dogs in growing.” said Cleveland E. Ellis, of Raleigh. N. C., recently. Dogs nre Invaluable in trench warfare. “They scent the enemy's approach, carry messages nml locate the wounded. The thoroughbred dog is usually g>>od at one or two things. The pedigreed prize-winning dog is good to be looked upon, and not much more. ‘ But there Is another dog. a very Useful dog. and plenty of him. This is the stray dog of the street, cur by general repute and miscellaneous by breeding.” The MILKER that SPARES the COW.

And her face was cold and rather hard. “I think,” she said, "that you would scarcely want to knit on tills sock! For it is going to an English colonel —my husband 1” The little Austrian woman looked at the colonel’s lady. And ther«» were tears in her eyes. “Listen,” she said in a low, shaking voice. “I, myself, have a son. He Is an officer in the Austrian army.
