4EROI.NE HONORED BY FRANCE l> Sister of Charity Universally Acknowlf edged Worthy of the Decoration .Bestowed Upon Her. ~ Sister Julia (Soeur Julie) has been , decorated with the insignia of the legion of honor by President Poincare. While the German forces bombarded 1 Gerbevill’r she, with four other sisters, remained in one of the very few i 'muses left standing amid shell fire and conflarratlon, nursing the wound i ed French und German soldiers. . A correspondent found Sister Julia in the midst of caring for the ills of , some returning refugees. Her usual simplicity was quile unchanged by the fame that has come to her. When he observed that rffe was not wearing her ' decoration, she replied. ‘‘No; this is my working dress. 1 have too much work to do to put on any uniform, and so I keep my decoration in a box in my bureau. When Monsieur Poincare , brought it to me, I could not believe that such a little man was president of France until they told me he really was.” She laughed cheerily at her mistake, for Sister Julia, who has won the heart of France, is not a solemn person. Through all her ordeals she has kept cheerful. If anyone suggests that they will make a great ado about her when she goes to Paris, she shakes her head. Her place, she says, is not to make ' tours in uniform, but there, in her ■ working dress, in her beloved Gerbeviller, —which has to be ail rebuilt, — looking after the women and children as they return. Extol her conduct, and she says to you, "I only did the Lord's work when it came to me to do. Why should the president make an ado over that?” — Youth’s Companion. TOBACCO NEEDED AT FRONT Canadian Soldier Says That It Prevents Nervous Collapse of Men in the Trenches. Disapproval sending tobacco to the soldiers does not seem to awaken universal sympathy in Toronto, according to the Star of that city. The conference, by unanimous resolution, expressed its regret that "many whose lips were pure before have been led to 1. habit which otherwise might have been avoided." "Tell them to go into the trenches and sit. around for days at a time doing nothing, and see how they like that," said Col. Duncan Donald of the Forty-eighth Highlanders. “They are a lot of blankety-blank idiots, old fossils who don’t know what they are talking about, it doesn’t matter what, you send these men, so long I as it doesn't interfere with their efficiency. It is far better for them to smoke than, for half of them to come back with nervous prostration. As for ’pure lips,’ these expressions make me tired. I'd like to see the mover of that resolution apd tell him a few plain, straight facts in Queen's English." Brain Amputation. One of the wonders of surgical science has been performed in a French military hospital where a wounded soldier has had a sixth of his brain amputated without missing it. The patient was carried in with, a penetrating wound in the occi- | pital region of the cranium. Splin- > ters of bone had caused an ab- > scess to form in the left cerebral j hemisphere. These were removed by Dr. A. Guepin, surgeon in chief to the hospital, but a fresh abscess formed, and Doctor Guepin was obliged on two occasions to amputate portions of the brain which protruded from the wound. The patient thus lost at least a third of the left hemisphere, but shows no special j signs of trouble, either of motivity, | sensibility or ideation. Monster of His Time. A giant tyrannosaurus, greatest of dinosaurs, has been mounted at the Museum of Natural History, New York. According to authorities, this specimen is the largest dinosaur known to the Cretaceous period, and its age is estimated at about three million years. This was a monster of his time, and when alive measured about fofty-seven feet in length and stood about eighteen and a half feet high. Traced by the scientists, he flourished near the close o£ the Cretaceous period, and lived on herbivorous dinosaurs. The tyrannosaurus was the largest flesh eater in existence, so far as known, and is considered the king of the dinosaur family. “Pad” Inspectors Susy. Tlie shape’s the thing at Radcliffe college, and the Idler Dramatic club has just appointed a padding committee of eight members, with Miss Helen C. Hastings as chairman. The duty of the committee is to give the girls the official "up and down" when the Idler club is putting on its public shows. Where nature left off the padders will begin. Two of the most energetic of the “pads" committee are Chicago girls, Sophia Morris and Margaret Shorten, both freshmen. Weed Kills 1,000 Sheep. More than one thousand of a flock of sheep shipped into the vicinity of Boyds, Wash., to be pastured in the forest reserve are dead as a result of eating white camas weed. After eating the weed the animals were crazed: many ran until they died in convulsions, while hundreds of others plunged into the river and were I drowned.

/BLINDNESS ON THE DECREASE Census Bureau Gives Encouraging Reports of Its Diminution in ths United States. Ill—— Blindness has noticeably decreased among tne younger population of the country tn the last half century, according to a bulletin issued by the census bureau. The bulletin also says that this affliction is less common In America than In any other country, and is more prevalent among men than among women. In the United States blindness is most prevalent in New Mexico and Ne- ; vada, in which states the ratio of blind to total population in 1910 were 169.3 to 100,000 and 118.5 to 100, ' respectively. The high ratios for these states are due to the fact that Indians, among whom trachoma (granulated eyelids) is of frequent occurrence in those sections of the country, constitute relatively large elements in their population. In Arizona, Kentucky, Tennessee and Vermont the ratios are also high—9s.9, 94, 89.5 and 84.6, respectively. The relatively large Indian population of Arizona is responsible for the high ratio in that state; trachoma is prevalent in certain parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, and in Vermont there are relatively more people of advanced age than in other parts of the country, to which fact is | doubtless due to the high ratio for that state, since susceptibility to blindness t increases with advancing age. Among children under five years, only five in every 100,000 were blind; but among persons eighty-five years of age and over, 2,575 in 100,000 were blind. WANT OLD TRAIL PRESERVED Pioneer Route From Sidney to the Black Hills Advocated as Part of Lincoln Highway. Men who are deeply interested in the matter, from a sentimental point of view at least, have outlined a plan for making the old "trail" from Sidney to the Black hills a part of the Lincoln highway system, it is a worthy project and deserves to be successful for several reasons. The Sidney trail was one of the important trade routes in a bygone day, and as such was notable in many ways. It shares with the Fort Pierre and Cheyenne trails the legends of early days in the Black hills. Much that is romantic clusters around these routes, and much that has no romance in it. Hardships, adventure, sudden death, the Indian raid, the road agent's swoop—all these netered into the life along the Sidney trail, and the prosaic procession of heavy-laden wagons, dragging the food and clothing for the gold hunters, closed up the picture. The stage driver, the "mule skinner,” the "bull whacker.” the “cow puncher” and all the characters that made up the pic- 1 turesque as well as the sordid side - of life in the development days moved along the Sidney trail. It should be Improved and preserved as a worthy monument to the endeavor of men still living, who made a tidy little empire out of a bit of the forgotten mountains of the great West.—Omaha Bee. Cotton Sack a Gold Mine. In the early part of the year Ben Chapman, seventy, died a »few miles from this place on his farm. He was ; a hermit and of a peculiar turn of ; mind. At the time of his death there was found a considerable amount of money in different places in Ills house. 1 His personal property was sold a short time ago by the administrator of his estate. At the sale Mrs. Elijah Parker bought a sack of cotton, about two bushels, for 15 cents, and she left her cotton with a friend uhtil she could get it conveyed to her home. I Her friend opened the sack and ■ found in it a smaller bag containing . $437.45. There was SBO in gold.—Liberty (Tenn.) Dispatch to the New York Sun. Concrete Gasometer Work. Re-enforced concrete is now coming into successful use in the con- ' struction of gasometer basins. A recent example of the Hennebique concrete system Is noted in a circular basin of this kind which was recently built at St. Sebastian, Spain, and it Is the first example to be found in that country. Diameter is about 80 feet, and height of basin 26 feet, j Around the basin are enlargements in the shape of *lne buttresses in order to add to the strength of the , construction, and each buttress serves ' as the base for one of the structural , Iron beams which go to make up the I gasometer framework and support the gas-holder. Transcontinental Telephone. The telephone line from New York to San Francisco is overhead through- ' out its entire extent except for a few | short stretches of cable in cities and ! under rivers. Notwithstanding the I Improvements which have been made in underground cables, It is still neces- j sary in such long lines as this to , exclude as far as practicable all lengths of cable, however short. Even with the very best cable and apparatus known to the art, the distance through which speed may be clearly and distinctly transmitted is greatly restricted when the wires are placed under- ' ground. No Alcohol Allowed at Krupp’s, Describing in the Paris Gaulois a recent visit to Krupp's, Maurice Verne ' says that for the last seven months work has been going on continuously 1 there night, and day. The only drinks 1 allowed are milk and coffee, which are ' supplied 1U liberaj Quantities, . ’ ' I
