BETTER THAN ANT LECTURE Colonel’s Method of Rebuking Young Officer* Probably More Effective Than Severity Would Be. The colonel of a German regiment on garrison duty near a lively clt> was very much annoyed by the way his young officers went about tow n In civilian clotheB —coutrary to the regu latious of the service, the articles ol war, ami the spirit of Prussian mill tarism. He spoke very sharply about It and threatened the extremest pen allies if anybody were caught doing It again. The warning served for a time —at least the offenders were more careful. Presently, however, two young lieutenants took a chance They slipped away into town in modish afternoon clothes of the latest English cut, with top hats on and the rest. Suddenly they ran into the colonel. The next minute they had vanished Into a gro cer's shop. One minute more and the door of the shop opened. “Good afternoon, gentlemen," said the colonel. The pair stood before their superior silent and dismayed while a grim smile spread over the soldier's face. •‘Y’oung lady.” said the colonel, addressing the shopgirl, "give me two ffve-cent cakes of soap—"r.d wrap them separately." The giil obeyed and the colonel gravely gave her ten cents. Then he turned to the young officers and handed each of them a cake. "Here, gentlemen.” he said writh a grin. “Just so you shan’t be put to any expense on my account. Good day.” And he turned and strode out of the chop.—New York Evening Post. TURNS RUBBISH INTO MONEY Father Bans of London, England, Ha* Made Enough to Purchase a Site for Children's Home. Rubbish collected in London has provided enough money to purchase a site for a chlldre-n’s home. Father Banr, employing two motor vans and a horse cart for collecting things most persons throw away, makes SIO,OOO a year ftor his "Crusade of Rescue.” In a warehouse iu Compton street. King's Cross, he has three sorters, whose task it is to empty sacks containing different kinds of refuse and to arrange the material for sale. Among the neglected articles which he has fouDd to have real value are old envelopes, pamphlets, bits of paper, broken bottles, corks, electric bulbs, sardine tins, old stockings, silver paper, candle ends, cardboard, and medicine bottle* Medicine bottles can be sold to doctors for ft .80 a gross, and other bottles are bought up by a dealer. Broken plates are sold and broken up for road foundations. Corks go to linoleum manufacturers, and tin lids are utilized by the British Electron company. The zinc and tin in bottle tops fetch, respectively. 3 cents a pound and $7.30 a hundredweight.

Advice to Doctors. “Be cheerful." That is Sir Squire Bancroft’s advice to the doctors Dr. Stephen Paget, in his "Confesslo Medici"—that most companionable of books—dilates on the same theme. "If you must stay," be says to the young practitioner who is invited to tea, "do not stay long, and keep the door on your lips. Talk of the patient. of the weather, or of the proposition. which will as surely as the bread-and-butter be handed to you. (hat There is a good deal of illness about.' Avoid all topics of church and date, quote neither poetry no; prose, give neither censure nor approval to music and the drama, hide your liking for any art but your own. Leave behind you. for gossip to lap, a saucerful of the milk of human kindness.” City Free From Flits. “No flies in Prague," says a resident in that city In reply to Inquiries from manufacturers of fly-papers asking for information as to the extension of tbelr trade in Bohemia, for there are not sufficient files to exterminate In restaurants there are very few flics Screen doors to keep out tiles and other Insects are unknown The buildings are ail conatructed of nrick. stone vr concrere The pavements and side walks are mare of granite block. There sre no wooden sidewalks, stairway, or buildings in the city. Decayed vegetable or animal matter is not openly exposed to flies, and the streets are frequently cleaned during escb day.

Lincoln's Birthday Feb. 12th To most Americans Abraham Lincoln personifies real patriotism; he served his country in away that seemed to him best; and he gave his best service in the fullest measure There is no one of us who cannot learn something by considering this heroic man; there is no work of ours, no business of ours, which will not be b°tter done, if we do it with his spirit: It is possible in our business as it is in every business; to render a real service, and we’re trying to do it.
