PICKERING DENTIST Dental Directorv Legal "Directorv Devilish Devices Left in Trenches by Fieeing Germans. ‘What do you think made that wound?” asked an officer who was conducting me through one of the advanced hospitals on the Somme, pointing to the badly swollen and lacerated ankle of a soldier that was just being dressed. The puffy and discolored flesh might have come from a severe sprain, but two or three black punctures on either side indicated that the injury was a more aggravated one. “If there was a trOpical river about,” I replied fin- ally, “I should hazard a guess that the man had stepped into the mouth of an alligator, or had been nipped by one While swimming. As I have never heard of alligators in the Somme, I fear I shall have to give it up. What did do it?" “Trench trap,” was the laconic reply; “or, to be more exact, a wolf trap. Ever since the steady pres- sure of our advance began to tellâ€"- since the Boche began “to realize that he would have to continue backing up before our attacks the Germans have been leaving them behind in the trenches, or laid in inviting little runways through the wire entangle- ments. Not many of our men were caught after the first day or twoâ€" we have only had two or three cases hereâ€"â€"but several scores of traps have been discovered, along with a lot more of diabolically ingenious contrivances- designed to hamper our advance or to give us pause in the matter of occupying abandoned dug- outs. In fact, th: dodging of the trench traps has added quite a new interest and zest to our latest at- tacks.” Scientific “trench trappery” is inâ€" deed a new development of modern warfare, and, like so many other things, it has taken the methodical and thorough Teuton to bring out its refinements, to make a fine art of it. More annexations? This time the German victim is Joan of Arc, says the London Chronicle. Yes, the Ger- mans are actually claiming the pat- ron saint of. France as a fellow- coun- trywoman. They have acquired large quantities of statuttes and images of L the Maid in the French towns which they still occupy. In one case at least they ordered a manufacturer to 'make duplicates of his casts. The , Frenchman was astonished, and asked the reason of this dev0tion. “Oh,” was the reply, from a Bavar- 3 ian omcer, “Joan of Arc is not French, since she was a Lorrainer, land Lorraine is German. Certainly she pray ed to heaven for the success of our arms, fo1 they are directed against her mortal enemies: the French who delivered her up and I the English, who burnt her!” . . The wolf traps were only the. first of a series of many devilish little devices left behind by the ousted Germans to deliver a last blow at the, victorious “Tommy” or “Poilu,” a sort of modernization of the famous Parthian shot. Obviously, “trench trappery” par' excellence is only practicable in the‘ face of a slowly and steadily advanc- ‘ ing movement; just such a one as that on the Somme has become, or as j Verdun was in its opening phases. ; Obviously, tooâ€"since the proverb, that a once-burned child is twice shy i applies with equal force to thefi French and British soldierâ€"it must: Show a progressive development t0: stand any chance of success, must be 1 constantly varied, constantly carried : on in a new way. That the general g scheme has been a flat failure is principally due to the fact that the; Germans have not been able to vary l their devices sufficiently to battle their wary quarry, Who, meeting ‘ guile with guile, have as often as not trapped the would-be [rappers and” “hoisted them with their own peâ€" tardsfl' ' Gardens were very much a la mode this summer, in Paris, estuzcially vegetable gardens. I do n0t refer to such gardens as Willette’s picture shows usâ€"a sweet peasant girl in the becoming Lorraine bonnet, the bonnet Directoire, who, with one fin- ger on her lips, watches the cabbages in her window boxesâ€"cabbages from which little poilus have sprout- ed. I should peihaps tell you that in France the fiction is that baby brothers grow in cabbage heads while little sisters come from the smaller,-perfumed chou des roses. Thus the cabbage plays in France the same role as the stork in other countries. I can still remember my little boy, then three years old, running to me with a cabbage head that the gard- ener had just cut, in his baby hands. A big caterpillar had been severed by the knife, and half of it was still wiggling. “Loci!" exclaimed the little fel- low, indignant at the irreparable damage; “little brother had already It is this childish belief to which the child in Micheline Resco’s draw- ing gives utterance while, with her pretty mother, she is planting veget- ables in the boxes on the balcony. “Mother,” she asks, ”if I plant a Brussels sprout, do you suppose I’ ll get a little Belgian brother?” In that case it would have to be a bro- ther of the size of the flea in Hans Andersen’s delightful fairy story. started p: Here is a story our wounded boys have brought back from the front about Sir Douglas Haig, says Tit- Bits. Sir Douglas was some few weeks ago, in a great hurry to get to a certain place. He found his car, but the chafleur was missing. So Sir Douglas got in the car and drove off by himself. Then the driver appear- ed and saw the car disappearing in the distance. “Great Scot?" cried the driver, “there's 'Aig a-driving my vâ€"V â€"â€"â€"v 'â€" car!” “Well, Set. evén with him." said 9.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. “They all walked up to a pave which had just been opened, and, after a moment or so, the dean stooped down, and he picked up the head of a man with pointed beard and moustache and with the eyes and everything complete and he handed it very reverently to the king, who took it and looked at it, and as he looked it all seemed to crumble into } dust and nothingness, and that was ‘5 the very last of the Martyr King.” ‘ But was it? Did not an old verger in St. George’s Chapel carry a trag- - ment of one of the shattered royal ' vertebrae in a locket on his watch ' chain? A singular taste one might ,say; yet preferable perhaps to that ishown by the inconsolable German ; widower who wore! a huge ring on his ! thumb with one of his wife’s eyes under glass aid richly mounted. Omnivorous Reading [Tendency Dis- played on Every Hand. To those who know something of feudal Japan, a very real fact in the lives of the grandmothers and grand- fathers of the younger generation of to-day, the present omnivorous tendency in reading is a remarkable deveIOpment. Until half a century ago literature was the exclusive vo- cation of the few. Merchants were uneducated and found no need for book knowledge. Two well-known classics, “Dalgaku” and “Rongo,” setting forth Confucian precepts, were considered sufficient intellect- ual food for the average samurai child, taught by tutors at home or in the temple schools under the guid- ance of priests. To-day ricksha coolies, waiting for “fares,” laboriously spell out the kana of the daily newspaper, and parents are not ashamed to learn reading from their orn children in the second or third year of the prim- ary school. Reading in Japan, it must be remembered, is not a simple matter of learning one’s A. B. C.’s. The written language is a combina- tion of a syllabary system based on Chinese characters and Chinese char- acters themselves. A student being graduated from elementary school has supposedly mastered the two syllabaries of forty-seven characters each, and some thousand or more Chinese ideographs. This gives him a working reading vocabulary; as he advances in his studies he must learn many thousand more. No wonder a Japanese student who knows English can read it just as fast upside down as he can right side up, and much faster than a foreigner. The twenty- six letters of the alphabet are mere child’s play after the mastery of his own written language. One reason is that the Japanese are faddists in literature, and new books have to be fed to the public almost before the ink has dried on the old ones. Vast quantities of books in very small editions, rather than large issues of fewer works, are the rule. , Editions of only 300 copies are quite usual; one of 1,000 c0pies means phenomenal success. Because of this voracious reading, new maga- zines and newspapers are thrown on the market in constantly increasing numbers. Counting weeklies, there are more than twenty woman’s mag- azines, with circulations ranging from 50,000, 30,000, 20,000 to a few hundred. Magazine publishers say that women are the best readers of magazines. What one does find is a flood of the current publications of Europe, Russia, and America. Gordon Craig’s “The Art of the Theater,” books on the impressionists and futurists and cubists, Tagore’s worksâ€"these are to be found everywhere. A little older, but good sellers still, are Mau- passant’s works, Baudelaire, Ver- laine, Maeterlinck, Oscar Wilde, Ib- sen, Shaw, the Jameses, and, by way of showing the open-mindedness of the age, Schopenhauer and Conan Doyle side by side. The omnipre- sent English student who hopes to get some “practice” from you is fond of Schopenhauer and Doyle; he pro- bably understands Sherlock the bet- ter of the two. It is said that the Swedish Gov- ernment has determined to disinter the body of Charles XII. to find out whether he was shot from behind or in front. What if the bullet went clean through him? He is not the first monarch to be disturbed in his tomb. George IV. had the curiosity to look at Charles I. W. P. Frith, the painter, told Raymond Blathwayt that he, as a boy walking through the Cloisters at Windsor one night in the twenties, caught sight of a pro- cession composed of the sexton of St. George’s Chapel with a lantern, two or three canons in their surplices, then the dean, and last of all King George. We quote Frith’s story as related in Blathwayt’s “Through Life and Round the World,” recent- ly published in London. ‘71 slipped behind a pillar and watched what would happen. Birds that live to a great age are comparatively few. Gulls have been known to reach forty years, parrots frequently live eighty years, and swans nearly as long. Ravens and owls usually die somewhat younger, but there is good reason to believe that eagles and falcons sometimes live more than one hundred years. Of barnyard fowls, ducks and geese live longest. There is said to be in Sectland a gander that is now sixty- six years old. For forty-five years it belonged to the proprietor of an hotel at Bridgend. Twenty-one years ago the father-in-law of the present owner bought it, and the gander looks as well and as Young and seems as active as it ever did. There seems to be no doubt about its age.
