Regardless of what territories may
be lost or won by the belligerents in
the world war. Germany, above all the
! nations, has gained most, and next to
Germany the United States has bene

is a nation.
The Liberty Loans were one of the
greatest nationalizing factors. The
Fourth Loan welded 20,000,000 bond
buyers into investing patriots—the

sacrifice for their country.
The Victory Liberty Loan—the last
of the Liberty Loans—comes in April.

PY()R RIlOEA’SS*
CATALONIA GREAT SEA POWER
The Moors were expelled from Bar
celona in the ninth century. Catalonia
had more than four centuries' start
over Seville and six over Malaga. It
Is little wonder, therefore, that Span
ish enterprise, If such a term Is ap
plicable, Is seen at Its best in Cata
lonia, because It has had a real oppor
tunity to express Itself. Catalonia has
always looked beyond Its geographical
limits. It has. In fact, looked sea
ward. It was on the waves that the
men of Barcelona found riches and
glory. They were the rivals of the
Pisans. Genoese and Venetians, and
Barcelona can boast of a naval his
tory as great perhaps as theirs. Cata
lonia for a time held sway of the sea,
and It was only upon the consolidation
of Spuln at the beginning of the six
teenth century and the rise of the
great modern states that the city was
eclipsed as a sea power. The Cata
lonians, proud of their achievements,
looked with little favor upon Colum
bus’ discovery of America, nn enter
prise which had been promoted by
neighboring Castile.
The Razor In History.
Tn tracing the history of shaving It
should be sufficient to go back to the
Greeks and Romans, upon whose civili
zation our own is based. Ben rds were
highly esteemed among the former up
to the time of Alexander the Great,
who was smooth shaven. One reason
for the abolition of the beard among
soldiers was the fact that it afforded
the enemy something to lay hold of.
At an earlier period the wearing of
certain types of helmet and gorget had
protected the beard. The Romuns wore
beards down to the time of the Gallic
wars, while the Gauls, albeit barba
rians, were smooth shaven save for the
mustache. The antiquity of barber
shcps and razors In Rome Is variously
given by historians.
Some have
claimed that the first barber shop, at
least In that part of the world, was
opened In Sicily in 300 B. O., while
other authorities make thia date far
earlier or later. The Sicilian seems to
have been the first barber.
Lucky Kiss.
A man named Winch, a butcher of
Sydney. N. 8. W„ recently took the
liberty of kissing a handsome girl who
was one of his customers. She re
sented the affront, and Winch was
prosecuted. He was fined hesvlly by
the board of magistrates, and lengthy
notices of the case appeared In the
press. The publicity given to the pro
ceedings happened to attract the no
tice of a firm of solicitors in Sydney,
who had been appointed trustees of
certain property which had been left
to Winch by a distant relative some
years before, the solicitors up to then
having been unable to find any trace
of the missing heir. Winch was com
municated with by the firm, and, hav
ing duly established his Identity, be
came the possessor of a snug little
fortune.
Wonderful View From Stirling.
It Is from -the top of a sheer crag,
more than 400 feet above the sea, that
the famous "links" of the Forth may
be seen to best advantage. It is al
ways a wonderful view from Stirling
castle, wonderful for its sheer beauty,
and wonderful, too, for the wealth of
history which surrounds every town
and village which dots the plain,
through which the river winds on,
picking up the light here and there,
vanishing into the haze of the distance,
and then emerging again as the mist
maybe, suddenly rises; whilst far
awcy on the eastern horizon. Just a
gray outline agalast the sky, is the
Forth bridge, wi.ere the river has
given way to the Firth.
LAUGHED AT OWN CARICATURE
Charles Dlckene Has Been Called Vain,
but Thia Story Seems to Prove
Otherwise.
The reproduction of a very rare car
icature portrait of Dickens appeared
in a recent number of Dickensian.
William Miller was the author of the
portrait, which was advertised for tn
vain by F. G. Kit ton, more than
twenty years ago, for insertion In his
book, “Charles Dlckena by Pen and
Pencil,” says Christian Science Moni
tor. Dickens first saw the portrait tn
question when walking along Picca
dilly with Disraeli one day. He was
vastly amused, and, entering the shop,
bought several copies, one of which
was sent to the Hon. Mrs. Richard
Watson at Rockingham. In a letter
written from Gad's Hill place he says:
“I hope you may huve seen a large
headed photograph with little legs
representing the undersigned. It has
Just sprung up so abundantly in all
the shops that I nra ashamed to go
about town looking In at the picture
windows, which Is my delight.
It
seems to be extraordinarily ludicrous
and a better likeness than the portrait
done in earnest. It mude me laugh
when I first came upon it. until I
shook again. In open, sunlighted Pic
cadilly.”
People Eat Too Much.

serves a writer in Ohio State Journal.
It does not require very much toll to
earn enough food to keep soul and
body together. And then, what Is the
better part of It, Is that the soul and
body kept together oo just as little
food as necessary make for each other
the very best company. Just once give
the body more food than It needs and
see how the soul protests. Just enough

and health. We read the other day of

Snowball Fight at Elmwood.

"Already, as I write. It Is twenty

decorations like another Radetsky’s.

“I presume these eggs are strictly

poked around in her pocketbook for a

"Well, they were strict in their
