HERMIT OF NORTH ATLANTIC ! Small Island of Eriskay, on Southerr Coast of Scotland, Deserves the Appellation. Just off the southern coast of Scot- [ land the tiny Island of Eriskay rises abruptly from the sea, as rocky and barren a bit of laud as even the Scottish const can show. The rough waters of the Atlantic beat angrily against its steep gray walls, or rush madly up the white-sanded beach ot the western coast. Stormy winds sweep the tiny island from coast to coast in unbridled fury. Nature seems to cast herself In accumulated rage against Erlskay’s few sparse acres. The defenseless victim of storm and sea, this tiny scrap of an Island is pathetic in its utter solitude. It is the hermit of the northern Atlantic, the recluse among islands. Its people, chiefly descendants of Jacobite refugees from Scotland, are a quiet folk—the ocean has taught them to endure in silence. The treacherous rocks along the shore are the terror of the sailors ot that part of the Atlantic. They dread and shun them as they would avoid wild beasts. Yet the island, barren and desolate, is sacred to every Scotsman. The sandy, wind-swept beach is holy ground to his heart. History tells how Prince Charlie, the hero of Scottish song and. story, landed here when he came to recover his father’s kingdom. The descendants of ills faithful followers still call the tiny inlet the “Prince’s buy.” The people fish and raise diminutive hens for their eggs, but even a hardy Scotsman would hesitate before attempting to eat an Eriskay chicken for his Sunday dinner. SPECIAL DAYS FOR COURTING Four Sundays in Month of November Devoted by Hollanders to Process of Matchmaking. It is the usual thing with the Dutch to compress matchmaking in all its branches within the month of November, an exchange says. The four Sundays of the month mark the four stages of the courtship, and each is known by its individual name as "Review,” “Decision,” “Purchase” and “Possession” Sunday. On Review Sunday in a village the whole population Ungers after church while the young people parade about, but shyly forbear to speak. Decision Sunday is a long step forward. After the service each bachelor approaches the maiden of his choice with a ceremonious bow. He must be shrewd, for from her manner of responding he is to judge whether it is the part of wisdom or of danger to make further advances. If the test of Decision Sunday is safely passed the suitor waits a week and on Purchase Sunday calls upon the parents of his beloved. With their approval he may appear on Possession Sunday as a prospective bridegroom. November is chosen as the fittest month of the year, because the hardest work of farming is over and the comfortable time of gathering the harvest is the merriest season of all. Barrel as Novel Mousetrap. When difficulty is encountered in ridding a place of mice by the ordinary methods, try this one, which is outlined by S. L. Bastln in Popular Mechanics Magazine: Get s fairly tight barrel and bore a hole near the bottom to serve as an entrance. Throw into the barrel a quantity of shavings or any material that would be useful to the mice in forming nests. Add some grain to serve as an additional attraction and then cover with a piece of wood. Let the barrel remain in a place Infested with mice for a week or ten days. At thq end of this time numbers of the creatures will have taken up their abode in the barrel and be busy nest making. Then stop up the hole in the bottom with a cork or wood plug of proper size, lift up the cover of the barrel a little and pour In water until there is sufficient to drown the occupants. The trap may be emptied and, after drying, set up again. In this way a locality is soon cleared of mice. “Martyrs." The word “martyr” has various meanings. Specifically, it is still confined to those who give their lives for their religious convictions. The "Holy Innocents” are a notable example of involuntary martyrdom. The word “martyr” should not be applied to a person who loses mere property, but Is used to persons who have died while striving to attain their object. The dictionary gives us the primary definition of “martyr”—“One who submits to death rather than forswear his religion; specif., one of the early Christians who suffered death for their religion." in general, the word Is Used also to denote one who sacrifices himself for a cause, as a martyr to the pursuit of wealth. Roosevelt Knew Youth, This story by John Burroughs illustrates Theodore Roosevelt’s tender and sympathetic nature: Near a little brown schoolhouse. Burroughs writes, by the railroad track the school ma’am and her scholars were drawn up In line to see the presidential train pass. The president was at luncheon, but leaving the table rushed to the platform and waved his napkin. When he came back he said; “Those children wanted to see the president of the United States, and I could not disappoint them. They may never have another chance. What a deep impression such things make when we are gamut,”

SOME INSTANCES OF TRAINING How Disabled Soldiers are being Benefitted for Civil Life Washington, Feb. 24 —A former beil 'boy injured at Chateau Thierry, with practically no education and outlook for tlie future, has been given a short [ course in an automobile school by the Federal Board for Vocational Educa-! tion and placed in a large garage.* where he is earning a good wage and | learning the mechanism of the. car, so i that his earning capacity will in-! crease. A young man of ability woonded at I Belleau Wood, a member of a family of physicians, who had been trying | to earn enough by occupations for [ which he was untrained, to put himself through medical college, is be- 1 ing given one year of a medical course| with the prospect of continuing tlie training if it proves to be suitable. [ Another young man, a physician, 1 lost both his legs in the Argonne and; so could not return to general prac- [ tice. Hes will be given graduate training so that he may carry on office practice as a specialist. One young sailor who was prepared to enter medical school lost his hearing from shell concussion, and is being gievn a course in lip reading to be followed by a course in bacteriology. , One case, typical of many, is that of a young man with general farm experience, who is physically unable to . do the heavy work of the farm, be- i ’ cause of rheumatism incurred in one [ 1 of the cantonments, and is being , trained in scientific farming, so that | he can be placed a® a manager with j i' the expectation of ultimately manag- [ ing a farrr of his own Another who has grown up on a small farm, asked for a course in motor engines and tractor operation, so that he could go ( into partnership with his father on . ' a large farm suitable for tractor cul- . | tivation, as he was incapacitated by • an artificial limb for genera 1 farm r . work. s j A young Greek, as the result of his ’ service in the army has a weak heart, , with some experience and ability as a salesman, is receiving a course in 3 spelling and penmanship. ; ~ s EpSsfiSaMl i » PREMIUMS have never been given with this ‘I economical coffee.

Brunswick Phonographs AN APPEAL FOR YOUR CHILDREN " tMaaES Look back at your childhood days. Remember the physic that mother insisted on—castor oil, salts or cathartics. How you hated them. How you fought them. How you dreaded their after-effects. That was all wrong, but then nobody knew better. . ■ ; Wit.ii our children, it’s different. The day of harsh physics is over. We don’t force the bowels now; we coax them. We have no drestded after-effects. And the dose is a candy tablet Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t know what they do. The children’s revolt is well-founded. Their tender bowels are harmed by them. The modern way is to give a gentle laxative more frequently. To keep the bowels always active. The best method is LAXCARIN. LAXCARIN is a candy tablet. Children love their pleasant taste. Give LAXCARIN, then don’t worry—they never disappoint.
