[ New Commander of Great
Britain's Grand Fleet
The new commander of the grand
fleet of Great Britain, Admiral' Sir Da
vid Beatty, was for some time in com
mand of England's battle cruiser
squadron. He is tlie youngest man
who ever was placed in charge of lie
grand fleet, being only forty-five years
of age. His wife is an American, for

Murshall Field of Chicago. Admiral
Beatty distinguished himself at the
naval battle of Jutland, where he en
countered the German high sea fleet
and held It until Admiral Jelllcoe came
up with the British battleships. Be
fore that he fought the battle of Hel
goland with bis fleet of cruisers. This
action resulted in the sinking of the
German cruiser Bluecher.
Wise Observations
When a man looks on only one side
of a question, and that his own side,
it looks as if there was a big streak
of selfishness in his makeup.
If you think the world is growing
worse just be a better man yourself
and thus prove to others that it is
really a pretty good place after all.
Worry less and trust your Heavenly
Father more, at the same time doing
your best to overcome obstacles, and
you'll surely come out victorious.
Use the commentary of a severe
friend rather than the gloss of a
sweet lipped flatterer. There Is more
profit in a distasteful truth than de
ceitful sweetness.—Quarles.
Whoever Is a genuine follower of
truth keeps his eye steady upon his
guide, indifferent whither he is led,
provided that she is the leader.—Burke.
Mother's Doll Story
A Missing Tooth
w.
Once upon a time a beautiful eliina
doll lived next door to a boy rag doll
by the name of Charlie. Iler own
name was Alberta, and she had the
blackest hair and blue eyes.
Outdoors it was snowing. So Char
lie thought it would be great fun to go
snowballing.
"Come on out in the yard and make
some snowballs!" Charlie called across
to his neighbor.
"Wait till 1 get on my leggings!"
Alberta called back.
So she put on her warm leggings
and fur coat. She pulled a wool cap
down over her china ears and got her
red mittens. And out into a snowbank
she jumped to play with Charlie.
They would have had a lovely time
if a big boy doll from the next street
had not jumped over the fence and
invited Charlie to play with him.
"Let's build a snow fort!" he shouted
right in Alberta's ear.
So she had to stand one side while
the boy dolls built a fort. When it
was finished they began to see who
could hold the fort. The very first
snowball the big boy doll from the next
street threw struck Alberta right in
the mouth and knocked out one of her
china teeth. So instead of having fun
she had to go to the dentist
Winter Bird Feoding In Ohio.
Many boy scouts will work in co
operation with the Ohio Fish and Game
Protective association this winter to
aid in keeping birds alive during the
cold months. Grain is to be deposited
in fields where coveys of quail and
I grouse are known to be, so that these
birds may not starve during the heavy
I snows.
Thoughtful Boy Scouts.
I Boy scouts of Calumet, Mich., did
their good turn the other day by
thoughtfully sanding the streets after
an ice storm had rendered the side
walks almost impassable for pedes
triaus.
Little Pine Trees.
Little pine trees in a wood.
Waiting patiently they stood.
In the open grate to burn.
Soon they knew 'twould be their turn.
In the summertime they made
Such a cool and spicy shade.
J'oiv they toast our toes and face
In the open fireplace.

Plret Feeding Bottle.
Possibly a hollow gourd constituted
the first baby's feeding bottle. Torn
from its parent tree, Its edible Interior
would have found Its way to the stom
ach of Its adult plucker, after which
the hollow shell would be filled with
milk or other liquid refreshment for
the satisfaction of the Infant In
tropical countries, again, the cocoanut
would constitute a natural fegdlng bot
tle, already filled with the necessary
nourishment.
Without, however, Indulging in spec
ulation of this kind It may be noted
that the archaic vase room at the Brit
ish museum contains specimens of
feeding bottles—tetlnoe, archaeologists
call them—dating back to between 600
and TOO years before Christ These
very early babies' bottles are usually
globular In shape, are elaborately dec
orated and are covered with small
knobs which, It is conjectured, were
used to hang tiny bells upon. In short,
the feeding bottle of those days was
also a rattle and a picture book com
bined.
Government Crop Estimates.
Nearly 2,000,000 schedules are han
dled each year in the bureau of crop
estimates of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in making up the
government monthly crop reports, ac
cording to tho annual report of the
chief of the bureau of crop estimates.
Nearly 100,000 names are on the vol
untary crop reporting lists; forty-four
paid agents are constantly making per
sonal investigations, one agent cover
ing a state, and a force of 105 clerks
is employed in Washington to handle
the large number of reports from the
voluntary crop reporters and to keep
records of crop information of this and
foreign countries. The work of crop
reporting has been so improved and
systematized that estimates of produc
tion of important products can be made
with a close degree of accuracy. The
most complete record in existence la
kept in the bureau of the estimates
and statistics relating to the world's
crops and live stock.
Sugar.
Our word "sugar" is said to be de
rived from the Arabic "sukkar," the
article itself having got Into Europe
through the Arabian Mohammedans,
who overran a great part of the world
in the seventh, eighth and ninth cen
turies. According to Dr. Van Llpp
mau, a Dutch writer, as a result of the
Arab invasion of Persia sugar found
its way into Arabia, whence again Its
culture was carried to Cyprus, Rhodes,
Sicily and Egypt. In the last named
country the preparation of sugar was
greatly improved, and the Egyptian
product became widely famous. From
Egypt the iudustrt spread along the
northern coasts of Africa and so enter
ed Spain, where, about the year 1150,
some fourteen refineries were in opera
tion. Columbus introduced sugar cane
into the new world.
Origin of "Fusilier."
Fusilier wps originally tbe name of
a soldier arrueil with a light flintlock
musket called tlie fusil. At the time
of the English civil war (1G42-52) the
term "firelock" was usually employed
to distinguish these weapons from the
more common matchlock muskets. Out
of these companies of "firelocks" grew
tie "fusiliers." In the latter part of
the Thirty Year war (1043) fusiliers
were simply mounted troops with the
fusil, as carbiniers were with the car
bine. The senior fusilier regiment in
the British service, the Seventh Royal
fusiliers. City of London regiment, was
formed on the French model in 1688.
Area of the Moon.
The moon always presents the same
face to us, as is evident from the per
manency of the various markings on
her surface. This proves that with re
spect to the earth she revolves on an
axis, and the time of rotation Is exact
ly equal to the time of revolution
around the earth—-viz, a little over
twenty-seven days. The moon's sur
face contains about. 14,GS5,000 square
miles, or nearly four times the area of
Europe.
