MANY FAIL IN GEOGRAPHY Subject Would Appear to Be Distasteful to the Youthful Mind of America. No single study, in school days, next to correct "reading, 'riting and Tithmetic" is more Important than geography. That boya and girls who enter business' life should be so remiss in common every-day knowledge is regretable. One who has traveled never forgets the places be visited, and maps may be dry things when one does not travel, but it requires little effort to memorize the morp important place tocations. As there is only one post office of like name in any one state it is easy to address a letter correctly if one knows what state. There are many Springfields, the more important being in Massachusetts, Ohio and Illinois. There are numerous Washingtons, but only one Washington, D. C., the capital of the nation. New Orleans is in Ixiulsiaua, Boston in Massachusetts, Seattle in Washington (stateji But where are the American cities of Bismarck, Boise (not Boise City), Moberly or Texarkana? Maybe these locations are tolerably well known, but what about the following: How do you spell Cincin —? | Try and finish IL Where Is Westerly? What river, if any, separates the two Kansas cities? Is the Mississippi red! ly muddy, or does the silt originate In some other stream? Which Is the farthest west, Cape Blanco or Cape Flattery, and where are they? Is Portland, Ore., near the ocean? Is it on the Columbia river? Where do four states meet? All easy questions. Nothing Is so exasperating to a busy merchant or broker as to have his letters missent, or town mislocated, The boy should know. EFFECT OF WAR ON BOOKS Idea Is That Novelists Will Be Called Upon to Do a Great Deal of Reconstructing. “Practically the world in which we were born came to an end at the beginning of last August and- a new world was created,” says St. John G. Irvine, the Irish novelist ‘‘We shall have to shed many beliefs and acquire many new ones before we are able to move about again in the comfort we had before the war began. “The process of adjustment will be difficult and tortuous for all of us, but it will be a thousand times more tortuous and difficult for the novelist and the imaginative writer, who has not merely to fit himself into the new world, but has to discover the readjustment made in the lives of other people. “Men can go on producing machines and buttons and clothes and knickknacks after the war is over very much In the way in which men produced these things before the war began, but the novelists will not be able to write novels 'n the old way. “The man who produces patent medicine will be able to continue producing it as if there never had been a European disaster, but the man who writes novels dealing with his own times must take the war into account; and because of this the novelist of today is at a disadvantage compared with the novelists of other times. “Jane Austen was able to write six novels without mentioning the Napoleonic wars, during which she lived, although they must have touched her intimately, for two of her brothers were in the navy. A modern novelist, dealing as realistically with our time as Jane Austen dealt with hers, simply must let the war into his story.” ‘‘lnsect Pests” Are Minor War Horrors. Besides poisonous gases and “Jack Johnson” and minenwerfer (bombthrowing machines) our soldiers have a good deal to endure from what has euphemistically been teirned the “minor horrors” of warfare. These insect pests—we spare our readers the enumeration of all the varieties—not only add very greatly to the dis comfort of the men in the trenches but during the summer they may become positively dangerous to thj health of the army. Sir Crichton Browne, who adds to his other activities that of the chairman of the National Health society, has just been reminding us that an immense proper tion'of the mortality in -war that is caused by disease is propagated by insects. During the South African campaign flies were among the most active agents in spreading typhoid, and lice are largely responsible for the typhus which has been ravaging Serbia.—London Globe. —a — Loses Her Clothes on Train. Mrs. Anna street, Philadelphia, lost J4OO in money and most of her' clothes on a train coming into Omaha at night. She stopped in this city to purchase new clothing, after which she continued her trip to the Pacific coasf. Mrs. Thrope carried her cash in a handbag, aud during the night this, as well as her grip and the clothes she had taken off, were stolen. She carried her railroad tickets and extra money in another place, and these the thief didn't molest.—Omaha Dispatch to New York World. Out of Doors. To him who sleeps out of doors these days there will be no confused feeling in the mind as he springs from his blanket, no heavy taste in his mouth. The sweet airs from the hills, the healing breath from the woods will not permit that “wrong-way-outof-bed «feeling” so common among the dwellers of closely-packed tenements.
