NO "BEST" MONTH

Time of Birth Has Little to Do * With Genius. Statistics Shew Thar Nature Practlcal- ~ Production of the Gifted V Ones of the Barth. Astrologers believe that the planets the time of birth govern us throughout life, and that, from a literary point ofvlew certain months afe' ihore favorably than other# lot which io "be born. Taking the hundred best British writers since the day of Chance# no less th'ari’fbrty-eight were born in the fotir months February, 1 ’ May, August ahtt-N^edibfe-. ~ In February were born Charles Dickens, Pepys the diarist, and Thomas Moore, while of more modern ‘date and fame are George Meredith, Israel Zangwlll, Anthony Hope, Harrison Ainsworth and Wilkie Collins. Pope and Addison 'were both born in' May; as also were Browning, Rossetti, Moore, Iftilwer Lytton, Thomas Hood, Jerome K.' Jerome, and Sir James M. Barrie.* August seetns to be the birthmonth of ports, for In that month were born Drydefi, Herrick, SCott, Shelley, Southey and Tennyson. Apparently November is an unlucky month for literary 1 people for among those who were born in November are Thoma# Chatterton, who, In disappointment and poverty, committed suicide ( at eighteen; William Cowper, who suffered from melancholia and suicidal mania, and finally died insane ; Oliver Goldsmith, continually In prison for debt; John Bunyan, who spent 12 years in prison, thereby giving us “PHgrim's Progress;” Swift, subject to fits of passion and IU-humor, died insane; Robert Louis Stevenson suffered from almost continual ill-health, and died at forty-four. So much for the “favored months.” Of the others, January saw the birth of Bobbie Burns, Byron and Lewis Carrol, author of “Alice In Wonderland,” who was also a famous mathematician.

March was the birthmonth of Smollett and Steele, as also of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In April was born the greatest genius the English language has known, William Shakespeare, while among others born In this month were Wordsworth, Keble, Heber, Swinburne and Herbert Charlotte Bronte and Anthony Trollope were also born In this month. June is not a very good month, Charles Reade and Charles Kingsley being thexmly two writers. July gave us Thackeray and George Bernard Shaw, and those interested In astrology may find a resemblance between the two satirists. September and October were both poor months, Mrs. Hernans and H. G. Wells being born in and Coleridge, Keats and Sherldatf in October. Finally Milton, Gray and Matthew Arnold were born in December, as were also Jane Austin and Carlyle. So there Is hope for most people as far as blrthmonths are concerned.

Reproducing the Talmud.

One of the circumstances due to the war is that it has been found necessary to reproduce the plates for printing the Hebrew Talmud, originally produced in the town of Wilna, Russia. r When this city was captured by Germany the electrotypes of the Talmud, it is reported, were used for ammunition. To reset the work in Hebrew would take years with an ordinary outfit. - • It was found necessary that the plates should be made by photo-engrav-ing, ’and this wort is now being done In Montreal under the auspices of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States arid Canada. «• The Talmud contains 9,000 pages, 8 by 14, and itis divided into 18 volumes. The first volume is finished, and the second 1* in print now. It is estimated that It wifi take about two years before the work is completed.

Army Animals Bought Abroad.

Not all of tWanlmals ufeed by the United States expeditionary forces in overseas service were taken from this country. More than twice as many were bought abroad; The total number of anlinals purchased overseas to January 11, 1919, 4 is 152,880. Purchases of horses In France amounted to 109,848; in Spath, 1,{53T; and in Great Britain, 11,808. The value Of purchases in France was $43;122,094; in Spain, $589,100; and Great Britain, $5314,711, or a total value of $40,025,905 for 123,277 horses purchased overseas. The total number of mules purchased overseas amounted to 29,060, with a value of $11,115,847. There were 9,341 mules, valued at $2,805,928, purchased tn France; 12.941 ingles, with a value of $5,619,156, purchased Id Spain; and 6,777 mules, Valued ~'at $2,600,768. purchased in Great Britain.

Special Naval Uniforms.

Uniforms having dlsWtttve Insignia have been designed by the shipping board for the young apprentices now In training at the various school ships. An embroidered anchor under the national shield, worked into the cloth Of the blouse pocket, and two broad white stripes on dbllar and cuff, instead ofthree narrow ones, as worn by the navy, will constitute the insignia by which one may discriminate between the men of the merchant marine and resembling those worn by the regular men of the navy- -

FISH THAT KNOWS NO FEAR

Killer Whale Easily Holds Title of Most Ferocious of the Animals of the Deep. • The killer whale Is one of the most deadly animals that swim in the sea. Killers are found in almost every ocean of the world, but, because of the nature of their food, they use as feeding grounds the sounds and bays along the coast, rather than the open sea. They are ferocious pursuers, constantly destroying morethan they eat » “Killers apparently will eat anything that swims,” says Roy C. Andrews, of the American museum, who has been studying Whales for some time. “Fish, birds, seals, walrus and other whales are all its prey. Its capacity Is almost unbelievable. There Is a record of thirteen porpoise and fourteen seals being taken from the stomach of a 21-foot specimen.” The capacity of the killer has given rise to'a number of fantastic tales, one of which tells of a killer being seen with a seal under each flipper, a third under its dorsal fin' and a fourth In Its mouth. In pursuing, the killer bellows In a terrifying manner. Killers are the only whales that feed upon their own kind. They sometimes go In company by dozens and set upon a young whale, baiting him like so many bulldogs. Pome will lay hold of his tall, while others bite at his head and thrash him until the animal dies. So great is the strength of the killer that a single One, by fastening Its teeth into the body of a dead whale being towed by several whaling boats, can carry it to the bottom In an Instant. They know no fear and In parties they will attack the largest whale. Not even a ship, or a number of ships can daunt the ferocious killer, who frequently, through its boldness, help Whaling parties by terrifying their mutual prey Into nonresistance.—From an American Museum of Natural History Bulletin.

MANY PERSONS ‘SOUND BLIND’

Peculiar Affliction That It Is Now Asserted Is Not Uncommon Among Mankind. Color blindness Is by no means an uncommon complaint, for many people, although they may possess perfect eyesight for reading or seeing long distances, are quite unable to distinguish between green and red and many other pairs of colors. Lately it has been found that some suffer from an .exactly similar affection of the hearing power—that Is, an Inability to distinguish particular shades of sound. A School teacher reports a boy who could not distinguish at all between the sounds of “very,” “perry” and “Polly,” and yet he could hear at as great a distance as anybody. Another youngster would spell “Different” “drifent." He said that was how It sounded to him. Several others ran the letters “r,” “n” and *1” together In a hopeteds way, being unable "to tell one from the other.

Robert Louis Stevenson's Prayer.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s last prayer telM us how all great men live by faith of the life immortal. Assembling bls servants, St the end of the day, in’hfs house in Samoa, he prayed: “Behold us with favor, folk of many families and nations; gathered together in the peace of this room. Weak men and women, subsisting under the covert of thypatienee.be patient still. Suffer us yet’U while longer, with our broken purposes Of good, with bur Idle endeavor agalhst evil. Bless to US our extraordinary mercies ; if the day come when these must be taken, brace us to play the-nmn under affliction. Cail us up with morning faces and with morning* hearts, eager to labor, eager to be happy, if happiness Shall be our portion, and, if the day be marked for sorrow, strong to endure.” —From a sermon by the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis at Brooklyn, N. Y.

Glottl.

Vincenzo Glotti was a native of Bologna, born about 1080. He became a scholar of Dionysius Calverts at the time thatGuldo Reni studied under that master. At twenty years of age he went to Rome in company with Guida, and there painted some pictures. He was then invited to the court of Naples, where he passed the remtlirtei*Of his lifer. Giotto possessed so ready an Invention, arid such surprising facility, that Orland! states, from a list of his Works, found after his death, that he had painted no fewer than 218 pictures for public positions In the different towns of the . kingdom of Naples. He died at Reggio th 1686. - 1 tru . ■ ■ ‘.I .< »•!

Study the Words of Songs.

In their efforts to secure good diction —by taking lessons' from >w highpriced coach—singers often overtook the benefit which may be secured by reading, with careful attention, the texts of the songs they are to sing. Tt is manifest that a singer who cannot give an intelligent reading of a poem cannot give an Intelligent interpretation of that poem tn singing. The value of each word, each phrase, and their relations to each other, and to tbo * whole thought, are legitimate objects for thorough study. Especially is this true of the pause which is so valuable Ip speech or in the reading of a poem.

ALWAYS HAS HOPE

Prospector for Gold. One of Fortunate Men. With Belief In One’s Luck to Be “Just Ahead" the Buffets of Fete Are Things at Which to Laugh. The typical prospector for gold, still met with in the far hills and deserts, may well be taken by all men as an example and an inspiration as far as the blessings of staying hopes are concerned, says the Los Angeles Times. j "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” says the proverb. But It Is not a good proverb. No matter how long deferred a hope may be it should nkver be abandoned. It should never be anything but an Inspiration and an incitement. Take this nomadic tribe of prospectors, for instance. The typical prospector is a man who has spent perhaps the most of his life pursuing a hope that has never been realized. Yet we never find them, discouraged. We never know them to end their days In despair. No matter how many their years of failure may be they will tell you that just beyond the next chain of hills or in the heart of a still unexplored desert the treasures they seek are surely awaiting them. A most sincere and persistent mah is the prospector. He believes in his quest and respects It. The little or the much that he wins by spasmodic toil he- invests in his dreams. He braves the solitudes and the lonely wastes of the world to reach the goal for which he strives. Hunger, thirst and other hardships and sufferings he endures with a willing heart. Add he never despairs. That’s the flory of the prospector—he never despairs. . - -

The average man, hedged in by the traditions of towns and cities or settled tn the‘humdrum of the country, looks upon the prospector as a queer and somewhat demented Individual. We laugh at this strange fellow who is pictured to us as plodding along In the wildernesses and the sandy desolations with his pack and his burro, following the will-o’-the-wisps of fortune. But the prospector 18 only doing in his way what we are doing in ours. We are following each our own dream as the prospector is following his. The only difference is that we proceed in safety and without adventure. Otherwise we are the, same as the wanderer of the desert and the hills. And also we are soon discouraged and we are easy prey to defeat, while It is death alone that can defeat the prospector. It seems td us that of all the misfortunes there are in llf«P—and heaven knows there are many—-the misfortune of hopelessness. is .the .worst. “Only for hope the heart would die," said a poet. It was a true thing to say. ■ > - And about this wonderful thing of hotfe there is another way to look at it and that is that wo should always have at least one hope ahead. That Is to say, we should always have something that we look forward to. Then, if what we have in hand fails us, the Other thing that we look forward to will stay us. Hope is something to be busy with. It is something of which We should accumulate a store. Always have plenty of hopes and have them so that they will reach out and last away into the years of the future. There is really something mysterious about a hope.- If you will eherlsh It faithfully and keep it warm in your heart you will be almost sure to some * time realise It.* ‘ It is said that we are what we believe ourselves to be. But perhaps we might better say that we are what our hopes “are. Since then a long-cherished hope is most likely to be realized, surely It were foolish of us to harbor hopes that will not bring us comfort and joy. Hope for the best there is—not great riches, not any material possession, but peace for the /heart and a serene path for the white years of old age.

Cotton Growing In China.

Now that China has decided what kind of cotton seed does best in that country, and is distributing It by the -ton to farmers, cotton growing starts on a new geographical development. The time may yet come when the Chinese laundryman, far from home, will croon over his.collars that he is “still longing for the old plantation.” Work done during several years in four experiment stations indicates that out of forty varieties of seed the kind known as “Trice” is best suited for Chinese cultivation. It appears that “Trice” yields 141 cattles to the moe, which is the Chhtese way of saying something more than 141 pounds per one-sixth of an acre, for the catty weighs about one-third more than the English pound. The Chinese pound, for that matter is called "kin,” but for some reason foreigners prefer to call it a “catty.”

67,948 Animals Sent Overseas.

In a statement made by the war department It appears that since the United States entered the war and to January 11, 1919, this government shipped overseas from this country 67,948 animals, which included 5,489 -cavalry horses, 33,396 draft horses, 28,068 draft mules, and 975 pack mules. The total number of animals lost en route overseas so far reported is 600 ■ horses and mules, or less than 1 per. cent of the total number of animals shipped.
