CHANGED HIS LIFE'S WORK! Aversion of Companion to Travel by Led Sir Henry Layard Into Bible Landa. The first man to undertake exten"i'f and important explorations among the ruins of Babylon and Nineveh, says the Milwaukee Sentin''l. was Sir Henry Layard, who wat ,l ‘" 11 in Paris ninety-seven years ago. It was dm; to his friendship for a ,'oung man who had a great fear ol seasickness that lie was led to begin what was to be his life work. Layard was educated and started for Ceylor to practice his profession. He was accompanied bv anothei lad who hail a horror of the ocean and Layard readily agreed when his ' ompanion suggested that they make tlie trip by land across Europe. Asia Minor, Persia and India. It was while on this journey that Layard was inspired with the ambition tc delve among the ruins of the ancient cities of Asia. “When I first beheld the mounds of Nineveh,” he " rote, "a great longing came ovet me to learn what was hidden within ihem. He yielded to the desire, and largely at his own expense carried on those excavations at Babylon and Nineveh which were chiefly responsible for the discovery of the lost records and relics of a people who lived 3,000 years ago. Many cities and palaces, including the palace of King Nebuchadnezzar, were unearthed by Layard and the most valuable treasures in the British mu>eum serve to commemorate hi* name and fame. SURE > * First Literary Hack—ls Jonah had lived in these days he’d have been a lucky chap. Second Literary Hack—l should say. He could easily have gotten live hundred for that whale story. THE TULIPS Or HAARLEM. The consular report mentions the anxiety of the Dutch bulb growers about the effect of the war on their world-famous industry. Haarlem is a specialized horticultural nursery for all Europe and the United States. The tulip, of course, is the typical bulb, the symbol of this amazing Dutch industry and a standard or value—as wheat is the agicultural barometer and pig iron the industrial indicator. The Dutch growers produce 2,000 varieties of tulips. They sell a million dollars’ worth of bulbs to the United States every year. The nations at war may not be in a mood just now for the gentle science of tulip cultivation, but a better day is coming. Haarlem will be doing a flourishing business in bulbs, as for centuries agone, when Essen’s great armament factories are turning out implements of peaceful industry under the Krupp brand. A FACETIOUS PEDAGOGUE. “Professor Gadsby, the Latin teacher, has a very small wife. His pel name for her is ‘Mulfy. -That's a curious name. What does it mean?” -It’s an abbreviation of the Latin phrase ‘multum in parvo.’ ” THEY ALSO RAN. “[got this cup for running.” “Whoja beat ?” “The owner and six policemen.”— Harvard Lampoon. the reason why. “Brudder Jones, why does you nameyoah mule Poor Excuse?” “Sister Annclizff, I does ff bekase it’s better'n none.” auntie wants to know. City Nephew (on vacation)—l'm studying now for a doctor. Bural Aunt—Do tell. Am t the doc tor able to do his own studying?

MUCH VIRTUE IN THE GRAPE None of the Frulte More Potent In th» Effects Upon the Human System. Since the dawn of creation th, I grape has played a part in the history of mankind. We find mention of unfermented grape juice in the, earliest recorder! history. In Greece and Persia grapes were made into i a . irup in order that they might be preserved as long out of season as i possible. The grape contains many healthgiving elements. Both the watei and sugar of the grape require nc digestion, so can readily be taken into the blood. The mineral elements in the fruit clear, strengthen and cleanse the liver, kidneys and intestines. Some one has aptly said that if the grape were a medicine! more could not be claimed for it. Grape sugar is one of the most important elements contained in the I fruit. Albuminous matter, lime.l iron, genuine cream of tartar, which, is the natural salt of the grupe, and j vinous acid, which is similar to the malic acid of the apple, are also’ found. Indeed, there is no safer tonic in health or general ill health than the grape. The grape is at its best when nipped by the frost. Those who have had the pleasure of breakfasting on cold grapes pulled from the vine on a frosty morning will, indeed, vote them a rare treat. There is no more welcome addition to the preserve closet than grape juice. CROP WASTE IS ENORMOUS Diligent Gleaning Would Yield an Abundance of Good Food for the Hungry. Ever since Ruth gleaned in the fields of Boaz there has been a lesson tc all mankind that there is enough waste in the world to give all an honest living, if’it were only diligently gleaned. The other day, riding through the country, we noticed many bushels of apples that were left to rot. Why, we thought, could not those apples be gathered and given to the poor? No reason, except there was no effort made to do it. We raise millions to send Bibles to the heathen ; why not a few hundred to send those apples to the people who really need them. It would give lots of happiness and improve greatly the Christianity of those who do the gleaning and the distributing. There are many fruits and vegetables in our orchards and gardens that are hardly marketable and yet would be good food to many people. Why might not the idle people be organized to gather up this food and scatter it among the poor? If an organization was formed to receive and distribute these gleanings there would, no doubt, be plenty brought in. There te plenty of good will, if it were only set in the grooves and started along.—Ohio State Journal. INEXPERIENCED. “I’m thinking of adopting a political career.” “Have you picked out an office to run for?” “Well, no. I rather hoped an office would pick me out.” “Ahem! What you need is a thorough course of training in the camp of a party boss.” MUST BE A MISTAKE. “I told you to take the bill up to room 12.” “AVell, I did.” “Impossible ; I hear the gentleman still singing.”—Man Licht. NOW HE’S SORRY. “What'a he sore about?” “His mother-in-law wanted to go to Europe r. couple of months ago, , and he would not hear to it.” A SHARP WOMAN. “You say she knows her husband like a book?” 1 “Yes. And »he can shut him up ' like one, too.” SHAKEN, BUT NOT TAKEN. 1 , “I shook all over when I proposed to her.” 1 “And the girl?” “Shook only her head.” THE CAUSE. • V “The absconder was in straitened circumstances.” I “I suppose that is why be took to 5 crooked ways.”
