Vf War With Qraat Britain
In 1I4S.
The flrst general att«»Tn|# to Intro- Inre Phrlntlnnlty Into C^hlnn Anton from April 24, 1845, whon the rhlne<«« irovemmcnt, following the disastrous war with Orent Britain, granted per, mission to foreigners to teach the PhrUtlan religion. Mlsslonarlen from mnny roiintries began immediately to flock to C'hinn, but In moot places the "white devlla" were received with hos¬ tility. The Emperor Taou-Kwanff, who in the latter part of hl« relipi favored the Introduction of European arts end religion, died In 1860, and his son, HIeng-Fung, adopted a reac¬ tionary policy.
One of the odd resulta of the Intro- dnotlon of Christianity In China was the appearance in 1801 of a rebel lead¬ er who called himself Tien-teh, and who announced himself as the restor¬ er of the worship of the true god, 8heng-tl, and derived many of his dog¬ mas from the Bible. He called hln- sclf the brother of Jesns, the second son of Ood and the monarch of all be¬ neath the skies, and demanded onl- versal sabmiaslon. RIh Insurgent fol¬ lowers called themselves Taeplngs, or "Prince of peace," hut the title waa utterly belied by their atrocious deeda.
SMALL SUM FOR "CAMILLE''
TO RECLAIM DISABLED MEN
War Is Teaching a Great Lesson as to Possibilities In This Impor. ' tant Field. i
The reclarantlon of the energies of nil the disabled of the nation may be taught by the exiRS'ncit's of war, nc- cordlnp to MaJ. Harry B. Mock, M. R. C, who in addres.sing the National ; League of American Pen Women, ' said:
"There are in the United States 600,000 persons who have born dis¬ abled In Industries—probably more than the total number of soldlors who will be disabled through this war- yet neither government nor Industry I , has hitherto made thorough effort to | reclaim their energy. Thnt Is a great j Jesson this war has taught us, and | when we have won It we shall find I that, through deaths, a cessation of f Immigration, and ¦ other causes, we | Shall face a great shortage In the la¬ bor market. We shall then turn our I attention to the reclamation of all the disabled nnd thus our country will profit by the labor of all her sons and daughters."

In the Hotel Drouot recently, the library of Jules Claretle, the eminent French Journalist, novelist, dramatic author nnd former dlre<'tor of the Comedle Francalse, who died In 1916, was sold. Among other gems, his col¬ lection of books Included the manu¬ script of Alexandre Dvmns Flls' "Tale of a Lottery," sixteen pages In all, pub¬ lished in 1861. The manuscript con¬ tained a letter from Dumas to Jules Claretle, Inforniln;: tie latter that for these sixteen pag< s he was paid the sum of $240,

QUAI^ LEGEND OP ALSACE
Raes of QIants Who Saw Importanea

Preducera.
There Ht a quaint old legend of Al- lace, recalls the Christian Rcience Monitor, concerning a family of giants who, once upon a time, lived in a cer¬ tain caatle In the old country. The moral of the story aeems appropriate at a time when the French minister of agrtmlture Is making special effort to encourage the cultivation of land.
The giants lived, says the legend, far from the peasants of the plain, and one day the daughter of the bouse who, though quite a child, was already 30 feet high, strolled toward the (ilnin and saw a laborer peacefully plowing his fleld. She picked op the peasant, the horse nnd the plow, and put fhein In her pinafore and returned to the caatle to show what ahe bad foand to her father.
"What yon think la bnt a toy," said the giant, "is what produces the food which enables us to live. Put back the laborer and his horse where you found them." From that time on¬ ward, adds the tale, the peasanta were never molested by the giants.

Mor*»over, In the«o operations he de¬ stroyed the Insects In the arms-rack, guard house, police quarters and prisons. When he became old Mon¬ sieur Terrat offered to commnnlcste the secret to the state for an Indem¬ nity. But this offer was not nccepted. The secr^ died with the proprietor. And that Is why the soldiers of today are yet struggling against the bug.— Le Crl de Paris.

Bugs In Francs. In the reign of Louls-Phllippe, a Mbnsleur Terrat had been charged with the duty of fighting bugs in the barracks of Paris. It must be believed that the result was satisfactory, aince by virtue of an order of the general Inspector contracts were made in 1846 with Monsieur Terrat for the destruc¬ tion of these frightful Insects.

COMPLETE LINE OF THE BEST
Pigeons Brol(e Up a Monopoly.
One of the queer things about the nutmeg is the romantic way in which nature thw^arted the Dutch attempt to establish a complete monopoly of the •pice. They own the Banda Islands, where most of the nutmeg treea gtow, and at one time they wanted to pre- Tent everyone else from raising the isplce. So to keep up prices and to Induce other planters on ouier Islands to cut down their plantations the Dutch at one time burned three piles Of nutmegs, each of them said to have been as big as an average church. They induced other planters to Join with them and it soon seemed as though they were killing all competi¬ tion.
Then nature took a hand In the lame. A large pigeon of the islands, which was extremely fond of mace, carried the seeds to nil the surround¬ ing lands, even to the mainland of Asia. Nutmeg trees began to grow Wild in numerous places nnd all danger inf a monopoly was ronuived.—Boston tost.

Delay Important Calls "Curiosity calls" are calls that
arc made as the result of idle curiosity regarding any unexpected happening, such as the ringing of bells, blowing of whistles, or loud reports denoting an explosion or other unusual occurrence.
Such calls may seriously delay important calls dealing with the emer¬ gency itself.
War work messages that
ought to have clear passage over the lines at all times are delayed, and the congestion of trunk, line facilities pre¬ vents giving good telephone service.
