We Have Drunk From the Same Canteen. There are bonds of all sorts in this world of ours, Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers And true lovers' knots, I ween. The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss, But there's never a bond, old friend, like this.--We have drunk from the same canteen! It was sometimes water and sometime milk And sometimes apple jack fine as silk; But, whatever the tipple has been, We shared it together in bane or bliss, And I warm to you, friend, when I think of this We have drunk from the same canteen! The rich and the great sit down to dine, And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine From glasses of crystal and green, But I guess in their golden potations they miss The warmth of regard to be found in this We have drunk from the same canteen! We have shared our blankets and tents together And have marched and fought in all kinds of weather, And hungry and full we have been; Had days of battle and days of rest, But this memory I cling to and love the best We have drunk from the same canteen! For when wounded I lay on the outer slope With my blood flowing fast and but litt hope Upon which my faint spirit could lean--then, I remember, you crawled to my side, And, bleeding so fast it seemed both must have died, We drank from the same canteen!

WE CAN hardly blame Maxim Gorky for spreading his sensational ideas in America when professors in some of our universities educated to a point that is abnormal, dish out to their students such rotteness as has recently been exposed in the case of Prof. Charles Zenben of the Uniof Chicago. The professor
lectured before his class advocating
"probationary marriage" or mar riage on trial.
Trustees of the university are be
ing told on all sides that Prof. Zu
ben's sensational lecture marks the point where the application of a curb
is necessary.
"The probationary marriage is the
only solution of the marriage and di
vorce problems. Let a man and
woman before marriage be constantly
in each other's society for six
months or a year to get thoroughly
acquainted and learn each other's
faults and foibles.
"Then there will be no more un
happy marriages."
This was the startling proposal of Prof. Zuben in explaining a recent
lecture to the students in which h
attacked the present day standard
of morality. The lecture was startling as th
interview above. Here are some of
the startling opinions that the pro
fessor uttered:
"There can be and are holier al
liances without the marriage bon than within it.
"Marriages in the United States are nothing but property arrangeWomen are merely dupes for men under the marriage relationship. Every normal man or woman has room for more than one person in her heart. "Our present attitude toward marmakes friendship impossible. "No clean minded person can obto the nude. "Most Chicagoans have neither the opportunity nor the desire to remove the dirt." If such mental weaklings as Prof. Zuben could be given a thorough two years' course in the Kansas harfields. He is a disgrace to the profession to which he belongs.
There is only one way to cure deafand that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearand when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The Long Man of Wilmington, Engnd, Measures 240 Feet. About midway between Berwick and Polegate stations, at a point where the side of the hill is very precipitous, those who know exactly the spot where to look will be able to see from the railcarriage windows a sort of rude imitation of the human form outlined in white. The figure, which is between 200 and 300 feet in height, holds a long staff in each hand. This is the "Long Man of Wilmington," once the center of profound veneration and worship, but now merely an object of interest to the curious. In order to obtain an adequate idea of this great hillside figure, dominating the surrounding country and appearing to watch as guardian over the little village below, it is desirable to ap

Did you ever meet a stranger who
talked from one side of his mouth,
usually in an undertone and with
his eyes wandering while talking, The man's manner is not an indica
tion that he is weighing his words or has something important to tell.
It is almost a sure sign that he has
spent years in jail. This manner of
talking is acquired in prison, where
conversation is prohibited among
prisoners and where men have to talk

was merely shaped in the turf so as to
allow the chair to appear through. In the course of time these depressions in the surface became almost impercepti
ble, and to such an extent was the fig
ure neglected that at last it was only
possible to make out the form at a diswhen the slight hollows were
marked by drifted snow or when the
oblique rays of the .rising or setting sun threw them into a deep shadow. In or
der to preserve the form of the Long Man, and to render it at the same time easily distinguishable at a distance the
outline was marked by a single line of
white bricks placed closely together.
The effect has been to produce a some

visible in fine weather from a great distance. There are in different parts of the
of varying width, cheaply cemented
with pounded lime and earth. The building line has been straightened, necessitating the rebuilding of many shops the rehabilitation of which is in keeping with the rest. Long forgotten sewers have been reopened and places of conveniences erected, the use of which is made compulsory. Innumeraunsightly sheds which have occu

moved, forever, it is hoped, and the
squatters have sought other fields in which to ply their trades. The new
roadways are guarded by uniformed
police in their sentry boxes and kept
in order by numerous laborers. Fine telephone poles, strung with countless copper wires, replace the topsy turvy line of the last few years. The teleis no longer a curiosity, but is
fast becoming a necessity to progressbusiness men.--Joseph Franklin

The Underground Era. A subterranean age, when theaters will be built underground and the busy hum of factories will resound from far beneath the sidewalk, was forecast by Engineer John M. Ewen in an address before the Men's club of St. Peter's Episcopal church. Ewen's subject was "Erecting a Chicago Skyscraper." While
he pointed out that the erection of
buildings fifty stories high is perfectly feasible, he said it is also probable that in future more attention will be paid
to digging habitable holes beneath the
street level. Ewen declared that the San Francisco earthquake proved the
superiority of modern fireproof steel
construction over all other methods of building. He advocated the use of
wire glass with metal frame and sash
in place of plate glass and wooden
frame and sash as a measure of fire protection. He outlined a new method
of construction. Stated briefly, it con

ical or documentary evidence will be forthcoming as to their design or pre-
cise purpose, it is very satisfactory to find that an explanation has been found which will at once account for
many of their peculiarities. The theory is that these are sacrifigures. We learn from the writof Caesar that the Gauls (and the Britons were doubtless included) had figures of vast size, the limbs of which, formed of osiers, they filled with livmen. The figure was ultimately fired, and the miserable victims perin the flames. There is a local saying in Sussex, probably of great antiquity, in which the Long Man is mentioned in referto the weather. It runs: When Firlie hill and Long Man has a cap We at A'ston gets a drap. London Standard.
Dining Room In an Apple Tree. An ingenious family of East Aurora, N. Y., certainly deserves honorable mention in a "keep cool" symposium. Close by the house is a wide branching apple tree, and in this, with the aid of simple carpentry, has been constructed a novel dining room. A roomy plateasily reached by a short flight of steps, has been built among the apboughs and surrounded by a low railing. When the round dining table is placed on this platform there is amspace for the chairs and their occuand also for the passing to and fro of the maid. A pulley line is run from the pantry window to one of the apple boughs, and by this means linen, dishes and food are trolleyed back and forth in a huge basket, thus simplify ing and hastening the getting and clearing away of meals. Under the leafy canopy with the spicy fragrance of ripening apples everywhere meal

the Chicago river south to the Indiana state line, a distance of twelve
and one-half miles. The work was begun in 1904.
The Demand For Aluminium. There is a great scarcity of aluminiin the world today. The reason given is that the automobile manufacuse this metal in the machinery of the cars, thus increasing the amount used far more than any other single industry. The supply of aluminium comes from only four sources in the world; hence the amount is limited to a very great extent. The chief of these sources is represented by the Pitts
burg Reduction company at Niagara
Falls. In Great Britain there is the British Aluminium company, whose plant is at the Falls of Foyers, and on the continent of Europe there are the Neuhansen works in Switzerland and works in Germany.
A Lover's Scheme. London had recently a novelty in a breach of promise suit or at any rate in the evidence introduced. The young people, having arranged to get married exactly 110 weeks from their engagement, kept tally of the time by threading 110 squares of cardboard on a piece of string and taking one off and throwing it away every Sunday evening. This is a decided improvement upon the schoolboy's plan of the number of days to the holidays, with one day crossed out every night. Inci-
damages if a breach results. In this instance ninety-nine squares had been
removed when all was over, and $625
was claimed and awarded.
