There are many Russian names

Petersburg.
The dum-dum bullet, supposedly
not used by civilized nations in war,
gets its name from the town of
Dum-Dum, near Calcutta, India,
where it was first used. The bul
let is either flat or hollowed out at
the end. and, with the soft lead ex
posed it inflicts a wound as big as a
quarter-dollar. Ammunition au
thorized by countries at war inflicts
a very small wound, it is said, and
.on*. .which easily and quickly heals,
unless In a vita! part
Somehow or other we cannot re
concile ourselves to seeing any jus
tice in a war that continues to
make life worse than a burden for
the noncombatants. Sailing an
aeroplane over a city and dropping
a bomb down on a private residence
just to see if it is possible to hit
the mark may be war. it may be
hell, but it isn’t fair to the men,
women and children who have so
far failed to understand what the
fighting is all about anyway.
If you are good at figures you
have already discovered that the
entire population of Germany has
been slain; that the Austrian Em
pire no longer has a live man in it;
that the French nation has been
captured to its last peasant; that
England's population has dwindled
to a few hunered. All this may be
proven by reading the various war
reports that have been sent out
since the beginning of the squabble.
And using the same reliable (?)
reports as a basis, the fleets of
European nations surely are enor
mous, several thousand vessels al
ready have been lost without im
pairing the fleets in their entirety
in the least. Speaking of modern
Baron Munchausens, the European
war correspondent easily captures
the prize.
War will end quickly if those who
Are engineering it are put in the
front ranks where their uniforms
may be seen by the enemy. The
wholesale slaying of the common
soldiers will end only when the
raw material is exhausted, but the
putting out of commission of a few
of the leaders themselves will dis
rupt the organizations and end the
conflict However, generals and
chiefs of staff probably will con
tinue to give their orders from the
safety of- a town, while the rank
and file charge the ramparts of the
enemy, essaying the electrified barb
wire fence, jumping across ravines
and brooks while masked batteries
play unmercifully upon their ranks,
or charge desperately to the
mouths of the guns, only to leave
long windrows of the dead and dy
ing upon the fields of glory—for
those in sypreme command.

FOUGHT FIERCELY OVER PUI
Two Small Boy* and 8treet Cur Fur
nlahed Amusement for Broker*
on Wall Street.
Two dirty, ragged little boys and a
dirty, ragged white pup created a lot
of fun in Wall street the other day.
Just where they came from and how
such an odd trio ever found its way
to the heart of the New York financial
district were mysteries which none
cared about solving in the joy of
watching their antics. The pup. it
seems, was the bone of contention
between the youngsters, each having
a perfectly good claim to it, which he
asserted with might and main. The
first seen of them was when a wild
eyed little dog, with the ‘‘kids’ ’in
pursuit, came running toward Wall
street from the direction of the curb
market. A passing truck blocked the
pup’s progress, and both children feH
upon it. Each sought to bear it away
in a different direction, until it seem
ed that each would have to satisfy
i himself with an end of the dog. Eqaul
ly matched in strength, the young
sters made no headway, so with one
accord they let go of the dog and
sought to rend each other. The pup
took advantage of the fight to lope to
ward Broadway, and it was half-way
there before the boys discovered its
absence. Abandoning their difficulties
they set out in pursuit. A large
crowd followed, and when the dog was
overhauled the s ne performance was
gone through again. After this had
been repeated half a dozen times, and
the whole Wall street district had
been covered, an officer of an animal
society appeared and took the cur.
The dog and the crowd thus won—but
the “kids" lost.
HUMAN BEING AS A FACTORY
Writing In Atlantic Monthly, Gerald
Stanley Lee Made a Remarkably
Comprehensive Comparison.
A human being la a kind of factory.
The engine and the works and all the
various machines are kept In the
basement, and he sends down orders
to them from time to time, and they
do the work which has been con
ceived up In headquarters. He ex
pects the works down below to keep
on doing these things without his tak
ing any particular notice of them,
while he occupies his mind, as the
competent head of a factory should,
with the things that are new and dif
ferent and special, and that his mind
alone can do; the things which, at
least in their present Initial forma
tive or creative stage, no machines as
yet have been developed to do. and
which can only be worked out by the
man up In the headquarters, himself,
personally, by the handiwork of his
own thought.
The more a human being develops,
the more delicate, sensitive, Btrong
and efficient, the more spirit-informed,
once for all, the machines 1n the base
ment are. As he grows, the various
subconscious arrangements for dis
criminating, assimilating, classifying
material, for pumping up power, light,
and heat to headquarters, all of which
can be turned on at will, grow more
masterful every year. They are found
all slaving away for him, dimly, down
In the dark, while he sleeps. They
hand him up. In his very dreams, new
and strange powers to live end to
know with—Gerald Stanley Lee, In

It la possible that the riddle of the
Polish temperament is humorously re
vealed In the folloving story, which
waa gleaned from \Tr. Edmund Gosse’s
volume of literary reminiscences en
titled "Two Visits to Denmark.”
A professor from the University of
Cracow visited Cambridge. The late
Prof. Henry Sidgwick showed the
guest the youth of the place disport
ing itself on the cricket field and in
the boats.
The Polish visitor made no com
ment, and waa indeed so reserved that
Professor Sidgwick felt obliged to
aay:
"You have nothing like this at the
University of Cracow?”
“At the University of Cracow,” ffie
professor replied, “we hygienate with
the bal masque* (masked ball).—
Youth's Companion.
City and Farm Life.
A great deal is said and written
about the “rugged old farmers ofl
eighty,” but they look more like a
hundred while there are scores of
men in the city who step off quite
briskly to their offices, kaen of in
tellect and active of body at eighty,
as many a younger man has learned in
attemtpting to deal with them. And
the city man of eighty looks about
sixty, while the average farmer of
sixty looks more like an octogenarian.
Taken all In all, physicians the a^nn
try over have agreed that their obser
vatlons lead to the conviction that th«
country man does not a^efage one bit
healthier than the city man.—Chicago
American.
Look Within.
The things that are unseen are the
true forces and substances of life—
wisodm, love or desire, ideals.
The things that are Been are ever
changing for something better.
Therefore, we look within for our
pence and happiness and we value a
clear conscience above rubies. We
value above loves, lands and honors
that Inner quiet, the well-done of the
universal spirit witnessing with ours
that all is wetl no matter what passeai

Philadelphia City Hall Employee
Therefore Declared Charges of In
competency Couldn’t Be Proved.
When called before one of the city
hall departmental directors a short
time ago with a demand for his res
ignation an employee insisted that
he be given a specific bill of particu
lars that would warrant him com
plying with the request. “You are
incompetent,” said the director. “Are
you sure of that?” asked the em
ployee. “Positive proof,” said the
director. “Where did you got your
information ?” insisted the employee.
The director declined to reveal the
source of his information -^jvhich
formed the basis of the charges of
incompetencv. There was some par
rying, and the employee threatened
to demand that detail charges be pre
ferred. Finally the employee signed
his name to the form of resignation
which was placed befoee him. “You
are a wonder,” he said, “if you can
prove me incompetent, for I have not
done a tap of work for the last six
months during which I have drawn
my pay; you haven’t had a chance
to prove whether I am competent or
incompetent.” — Philadelphia Rec
