FOLLOW CAMPAIGN OF JOSHUA

British Army Duplicates Victory of Head of Israelite Hosts, Marching Over the Same Ground. And now the British Mesopotamian army has captured Hebron, 20 miles from the birthplace of Christ, observes the Wichita ((Kan.) Beacon. More than 83 centuries ago Joshua, at the head of the Israelite hosts, marched over the same ground capturing Hebron and putting Its king to death. In one of the battles he found the time was too short and so he commanded "the sun and moon to stand still while his men fought. Forty years before, Moses was leading the children of Israel out of Egypt to this promised land of Canaan. He sent out spies, who were overawed by the giant sons of Anak whom they saw at Hebron. All but Joshua and Caleb gave unfavorable reports, and the Lord was displeased at the perverseness and the credulity of the Israelites, and decreed that they must wander 40 years In the wilderness. "How are the mighty fallen,” mournfully sang David as a requiem for his friend Jonathan, nearly 3,000 years ago, and then he asked the Lord for guidance. God commanded him to go to Hebron, and there he was anointed king of Judah and reigned seven years before going to Jerusalem. And almost 40 centuries ago Abraham built an altar at Hebron and there bought his first land. There was burled his faithful wife Sarah, and also Isaac and Rebekah and Jacob and Leah and Joseph. The bones of the ..shepherd patriarchs, of David, the sweet singer Qf Israel; of Joshua, the mighty warrior; have crumbled and mingled with the sands of the centuries, but the world flghta on over Its ancient battlegrounds, and mankind, like Sisyphus, rolling the great burden to the top of the hill, sees It roll back and create another task. But mankind has learned. Upon reaching Hebron It refuses to be awed by the giants who bar the way to the promised land of world peace and freedom. It Is a strange and wonderful drama that Is taking place on earth today.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY

Schoolmaster Has the Great Task In Hand, and on Him Depends the Final Important Outcome. The sum of all admonitions Is that the schoolboy must pay attention. That is precisely what he Is do! ng, writes S.' M. Crothers, In the Atlantic. He is paying attention to a variety of things that escape the adult mind. As he wriggles on the bench in the schoolroom he pays attention to all that Is going on. He attends to what is going on out-of-doors; he sees the w4ak points of his fellow pupils against whom he is planning punitive expeditions; and he is delightfully conscious of the idiosyncrasies of the teacher. Moreover, he is a youthful artist and his sketches from life give acute joy to his contemporaries when they are furtively passed arosmd. But the schoolmaster says sternly: “My boy, you must learn to pay attention ; that is to say, you must not pay attention to so many things, but you must pay attention to one thing, namely the second declension.” Now the second declension Is the least Interesting thing In the room, but unless he confines his attention to It he will nevter learn It. Education demands narrowing of attention in the Interest of efficiency. A man may, .by dint of application to a particular subject, become a successful merchant or real estate man or chemist or overseer of the poor. But he cannot be all these things at the same time. He must make his choice. Having In the presence of fitnesses taken himself for better or for worse, he must, forsaking all others, cleave to that, alone. The consequence is that by the time he Is forty he has become one kind of a man and is able to do one kind of work.

HAS CHURCH BUILT ON PIER

llfrancombe, England, Possesses Historic Edifice, Where the Sailors Offered Prayer Before Going to Sea. • ■■ llfrancombe, England, has a church on a pier, and Is the only seaside place In the world that has such a distinction. Indeed, llfrancombe would not possess the honor were it not for the fact that Lanterln Hill forms a part of the pier. Those who argue about the matter are always silenced by the plea that you have to go on the the pier In order to enter the church, observes a writer. The curious old building to be seen on the top of the hill has had many strange adventures. It Is dedicated to St. Nicholas, the patron saint of seafaring folk, and In that connection It Is Interesting to learn that at one time the old church was used as a lighthouse. In bygone days the sailors used to trudge up the hill to pvay before going to. sea, and many were the regrets when the little edifice ceased to hold its services. It Is now used by the pier authorities for storing purposes, but the day may come when It will be restored, and form one of many attractive "sights” llfrancombe already possesses.

Volcanoes Are a Blessing.

For all their upheavals it would not pay Central America to get rid of her volcanoes if she could, for these up* heavals have created the finest coffee and sugar land in the world, notes a correspondent Usually there * are long, premonitory warnings and the annual deaths due to. this cause are not equal to the number of persons killed yearly in automobile accidents around New York. Neither words nor artist’s brush could do justice to the wonderful atmospheric effects of the mountain lands. The changing lights and colors, the purple mists, the vast white banks of clouds, the cooling vapors that assume the colors of the rainbow at dawn and sunset, the mirages that throw mountain lakes and lofty peaks in the high heavens, resting, apparently, upon a base of blue ether, all these can never be described or forgotten.

Laughing and Good Breeding.

Valuable as a good laugh and a happy smile are for men and women In every activity, there are ami always have been some stiffnecked, proper folk who have been a little suspicious of the good breeding of a hearty laugh, asserts an exchange. We have all heard women of the old school of manners admit reluctantly that they “had to laugh” at a play they went to see, as if there were something too crude for well-bred folk in a hearty laugh, and if you could but face the audience instead of the stage during the performance of a taking comedy you would see here and there prim, proper folk pulling their faces straight the moment the curtain goes down and the lights go up for fear some one might think they had so far forgotten their manners as to share in the general laughter.

Seed Counter Serviceable.

When testing seeds, It is necessary to count them and then space them evenly on moist sheets of blotting paper. A device has been developed which does the work accurately and quickly. It is used in conjunction with a vacuum pump operated by exerting pressure on a foot pedal, and consists of a metal contrivance having a square, flat surface with 100 small'perforations. When this is brought in contact with a quantity of grain and a partial vacuum created, the suction draws a kernel over each of the orifices. By then placing the instrument on a blotter and releasing the pressure the seeds are deposited in regular coder on the sheet. y
