The oldest recruit in the British army, is James farmer, an Eng lishman, aged 78 years, who is a veteran of the Crimean war. He volunteered a few weeks ago and 'was consigned to the Shropshire Light Infantry. o . ; ' A r - : ; r ' H- .i-v.'. : Gcrmany is now constructing armored battle, aeroplanes nearly three times the size of the7 ordinary Albatross.

According v to the Army and Navy Journal, our sixteeh-inch gun could hit the summit of Pikes Peak piled on top of Mont. Blanc. - Several cities of the South are planning to follow the example of ; New Orleans, which has made 'The New Orleans Book" a text- book in the public schools. Local history deserves more attention than the schools give, to it. Ancient history and general history have their uses, bat they should not be permitted wholly to dis i place the history of our own section.

We will state, though, that every ' ouncetaf radium in the ocean is distributed in something like thirty million tons of water. That is, the proportion of radium in : sea water is about one ten-trillionth of one per cent. Evidently sea water will not compete with the earnotite ores of Col6.rado, with an ounce of radium to eight thousand tons of rock.

It is the irritating, poison , on the sting; that hurts so badly arid causes such swelling, so the . very first thing to do is to remove the sting it left in the flesh: ' Use a knife" point or needle for this purpose. - Then, don't scratch or rub ' the. sting. That only make? bad matters worse. Apply a few drops ,of weak ammonia or spirits of camphor or ordinary tincture of iodine as quick ly as possible. . The -poison from hornet stings is soluble in alcohol, and therefore if the spot be gently bathed or washed in al cohol some relief is obtained. i Finally, if ammonia, camphor, iodine or alcohol is not available, gently rub bing a piece of wet soap over the sting helps the situation out somewhat. Al ways remember, however,' that the most important -first aid is to remove the offending sting and that prevention is better than cure. - Saving the Suffix. Rex Beach tells how in J;he early days of the gold excitement in Alaska there came a young German from, Illi nois who, after prospecting for awhile, settled in Sitka. ' ' . ' His name was Henry F. Almondin ger, and. wishing to Americanize him: self as much as possible, he applied to the proper authority , for permission to tehange his name to Henry F. Almond. A few days later a man named John Smith applied to. the same authority, and after reciting a long catalogue of the ills to which he was subject owing to his unfortunately common name, he said in conclusion: .;' -.' "And whereas I have noticed that you have curtailed the name of Henry F. Almondinger to H. F. Almond and have not disposed of the inger' which seems to be lying around loose. I r6 spectfullys request that he same may be added to my name.' Chicago Trilr- une, Collapsible Stage Scenery. Pneumatic scenery and stage settings are now used in an endeavor to make them more realistic and at. the" same time conserve the possibleness and convenience of the .present type of flat and built up paper and wopd forms This is made : of a rubberized fabric and so arranged that it may be inflated quickly and moved about with- ease The idea has been wjorked out in re producing trees upon, the stage, ; wit h the result, that they appear very real from a short distance.
