LIVING IN CITIES

Residents Are Not as Neighborly as in Country.

Life In Metropolitan Municipalities la a Battle for Existence, With No Time for Sociability. “Who, then, Is my neighbor?” the man “In the city pent” asks himself, as he regards a row of similar house fronts and reflects on the fact that he has only a nodding acquaintance at best with the ( majority of the inmates. Interdependence Is fostered by the conditions of living In the country. Ordinarily we do not need the help of the next house, near or far. But let fire come, or a destructive storm, or a predatory visitor, or a serious illness, and the neighbor may be as welcome as angels, says a writer ip Philadelphia - City life is often a battle of the strong, because there are crowds and there are many mouths* to feed and many shuffling feet to be shod. If we let ourselves think of It, the vast multitude of identities striving to establish themselves is almost terrifying. Where did so many people come from? Where are they all going? ‘‘How are they to find a lodging for the night? Each of the moving swarm is the center of a circle of friends. The humblest, unless deeply unfortunate, has ties that bind him to earth and make life —in a degree —dear to him. Out of the pagan wilderness to the urban lights and roarings comes bucolic youth. What will the city do to that unsophistication? Or in what way will its rugged, innocent power in time come to prevail upon the city? Your shrewdest, hardest captain of business closes his eyes at his desk and is taken back to murmurous water brooks and bees, to the aroma of hay, of kine, of burning leaves, to the sound of the whetted scythe or the sight of baked apples in the window of the woodshed. Why can’t they brown flapjacks or bake beans or concoct apple sauCfe or cook oatmeal as they did down on the farm? The table was always big enough for the unexpected guest. An egg or a quart of milk was no such grqat event as it is in a city. There used to be time, too, to settle the affairs of the borough and the nation, to discuss Horace Greeley and to wind the clock, between supper and early bedtime. We have filtration, and the. vacuum cleaner, and the servant question, and all the other city advantages. But it was something to know the neighbors, and somehow or other “the men that were boys when I was a boy*’ mean something in a lifetime that the brisk, ambitious, clean-shaven, up-pushing generation does not convey. It would do these take-it-or-leave-it fellows good to study the large, leisurely, tranquilizing ways of their forebears In the days when “civilization” was not on a tear from the cheap lunch to the bargain counter, and home was not a waystation betwixt the Joyride and the moving pictures. *

Dispersing a Crowd.

“I have just come back from fortyeight hours’ duty In Paris,” writes an officer In a Highland regiment. “My servant and I, both in the kilt, were buying some stuff outside a as one does In Paris, when a crowd of about twenty people gathered round, and stared —some amused, some open-mouthed, and some doubtless In admiration. I was amused at first, but It got a bit too much of a good thing, and my servant, who is a wag, said: ‘Shall I hand round the hat, sir?’ So, not thinking he would, I said: •Yes, do,’ and—ls he didn’t whip off his Balmoral and take It round perfectly seriously, with a childlike expression on his face. They cleared off all right, some grinning, and others looking very sheepish. But we got nothing.”

Prepare to Care for Themselves.

Nowhere have the French shown their remarkable national vitality more striking than In the way they have kept up the pursuits of peace while hearing the brunt of the most exacting war in history. So far from having their industries broken by conflict they have developed scores of new ones, writes a correspondent An exhibit, now being held In Paris is given over entirely to products manufactured in France, which were formerly Imported. The first division consists of articles formerly brought from foreign nations, largely from Germany, while the second Is made np of articles formerly made in the r northern French districts now occupied by the invader, which are now being manufactured in southern France.

Interesting Experiment

E&berlments just completed by two French scientists have reopened the controversy whether rudimentary manifestations of life can be produced in inorganic matter. These men took a glaum tube containing a solution of colloidal silica/ sealed it by melting the glass and subjected tube and contents to a high temperature, long enough to sterilise them thoroughly, according to all current ideas of sterilisation. The tube was then kept moderately warm for two months, and when opened die contents were full of living bacteria. Objectors contend that the : colloidal silica probably operates to j protect bacteria originally In the so- j lution from the effects of the heat 1 TturlHitti'iti .*

NERVE OF BOBBIES

PoKoe Display Thoroughness That Astonishes Colonials. i ■ J I ■■ •, • •-“ - London of Today a Marvel, Forming One of the Most Important War Centers of Entire .World. A Rhodesian who has arrived In England to “join np,” after service in the three campaigns undertaken by the South Africans, assures me of his astonishment at the tact and thoroughness .exhibited In the dally work of military police, says a writer in Westminster Gazette. The London of today is, indeed, a never-ending marvel to the colonial soldier. It forms ©ne of “the most important military centers of the world. It Is Inhabited by d floating population drawn from one of the most cosmopolitan armies In history —an army, tod, that is in no way remarkable for the gentleness of its fighting methods when the game’s afoot. Yet, as my South African friend phrased it, “the whole mob goes about on its business and its pleasures like a small flock of contented sheep with a couple of welltrained dogs behind them.” Things were hot always managed that way In the early days of the forces raised by the dominions in the first year of war. My informant illustrates the contrast with an incident that came under his notice while his regiment lay intrenched at Swakopmund during the “German Southwest” campaign. One morning the men of the Union advanced posts saw approaching them from the desert three living skeletons, who staggered like drunken men as they groped their way blindly through the furnace of sand. A comrade lay helpless a mile or so behind, too far gone to walk. He was brought in later, unconscious, but still alive. The four heroes —-captives in the of the Hun —had preferred the chances of death to the grim certainty of a cruel and galling captivity, and had managed to escape from their Jailers under cover of darkness. Practically without food and, for the most part, without water, they had traveled some hundreds of miles —from one end of the vast territory to the other. Almost naked, the ice-cold winds of night had crippled them, hunger had robbed them of their strength, and thirst had all but driven them to madness. They had escaped “by the skin of their teeth” from both vengeful Hun and prowling lion. And an officious military policeman greeted them on their arrival in the British lines with the order that they were not to loiter in the streets of the town!

“Up Again!”

When we were little shavers, toddling about the house and went down on the floor or the 1 ground because our feet could not keep up with our ambition to run and “get there” right off; grandmother, a lovely old down East lady, would sing out to us: “Up again! Never mind! That didn’t hurt you! Up again!” So up again we would jump, all the Rurt gone, just because grandmother cheered us to try It over again, writes * Vincent in Farm Life. Sam Jones has had the luck of bad crops two or three years. Things have seemed against him. Bnt he has been as brave as a lion. No frost can ever come that froze the smile his face or withered the hope In his he&rFl And he Is right at it this year, just as If he hadihnd tße best of luck all through the years. But I wonder who of his neighbors has been down to sing out to Sam: “Up again, old man! This is all right I You’ll come out all right—can’t.help itl” I don’t know of anybody that has had time to look up from his own hoeing and plowing and digging long enough to do that; it’s a shame, too! Come on! Let’s go down right now and cheer Sam up a bit! Maybe we can give him a lift at the work, too. All the world will be the brighter for it after that —to Sam and to you and to me, writes Vincent in Farm Life.

Codfish for Trench Soldiers.

The codfish army is no dream. It arrives in the trenches somewhere In France at the rate of 5,000,000 pounds a week. On its strength of “two breakfasts and one fish dinner” Canadian and British “Tommies” are kept up to their working mark. Canada herself 16 helping,to solve the food problem by having two fish days a week —Tuesdays and Fridays, notes, a correspondent With this great demand for fish the Nova Scotia fisherman suffers neither tog, nor rain, nor Ice, nor snow, nor darkness nor submarine to Interfere with his task of supplying the dominion and the empire with fish in quantities never paralleled in history.

WOMAN PLEADED FOR CANDOR

Matron Announcing Nearness’of Birthday Found Truth Not So Attractive After She Got It A woman with a birthday In sight spoke earnestly to three men who were her friends, writes Ella Randall Pearce, in life. ~~ “Tomorrow will be another birthday for me,” she said. “I know the freshness of my youth has departed, but I Should like to know just how ol<J I appear in the eyes of the world. *Tell me, my dear friends, if you were looking on me for the first time what would be your impressions?” Said the first man glibly: “I have known you fop several years, and you appear the same us when I first saw you. Your beauty is undimmed ; your charm is uiidiminished. If I did not know otherwise, I should say tomorrow" would be your twentieth birthday.” Said the second man more slowly: “I, too, have known you f-or several years, but it to n»e you have been favored by time. Your beauty has ripened and deepened until now you, who were once *a lovely bud, are a lovelier rose in bloom. I should count tomorrow as the. beginning of your twenty-lifth year.” “And you,” queried the woman Of the third man, who had been regarding her with clear-eyed frankness. * “Between friends there should always be truth," he replied gravely., “I acknowledge your beauty ant! your charm and both have been wonderfully preserved in semblance of youth. But you ask for candor and you shall haye it. Looking at you closely, I should not expect you to see thirtyafter tomorrow.” The woman faded the three men who were hes friends, and her eyes were gleaming while her cheeks’ pink turned crimson. She pointed an accusing finger. “You have lied,” she said tremulously, “and you also. But I will forgive you both because you lied to piease me. But you”—she whirled toward the last speaker —“you are a barbarous egotist. You have wounded me in order to maintain your own reputation for veracity. Truth, Indeed! Your honesty offends me. We are no longer friends. Go—and quickly!” “Whew!” exclaimed the third man as he strode through the outer darkness. “I wqnder what would have happened t° me If I had really told her the truth?”
