Most people know that Haitt is . Filer, but what most people do not know is the very illuminating fact that from his boyhood he aspired to be a soldier.

But he was ulways an out-doors man, and he spent all his leisure time in fox hunting.

The brief and business-like reports of operations that emanate each day from his headquarters (they ore at.. most epigrammatic) are eminently charm teristic of the man whose lune The Co-tder-in-Chief', cavalry training sticks do: all over him. You see it in the long, shapely lines of his legs and in the rounded calves in per- fectly-polished boots, with their jingle of silver spurs. He stands easily and gracefully, and walks with that tangy, swinging stride so common, oddly enough. to men who ride much. He was a famous fox-hunter in his under- graduate days at Oxford, and never, nve in time of utmost crisis, does he forego his daily gallop. To him the motor is a business vehicle, never meant for sport or pleasure.

If Yvette’s candy store was on that street, it was surely opetf; not a house in that district had been harmed. While neighbors came running up to welcome my fellow travellers the driv. ed gave the horses a Bick with his whip and we moved off to the hotel. "There."' exclaimed the mother sud- denly. "l see the tower of the church. Perhaps it is not so bad with our house as we feared." The driver whipped up the tired horses, for we knew what great curio- sity was straining the hearts of the women. We rattled into the main street and passed the partly ruined church. "Turn here."' they all cried, as we came to a narrow, winding side street. The houses were all intact. The women leaned out in an effort to see round a turn in the road. A little brown dog came bouncing across the street; we passed the turn in the road and, while the little .dog barked and tried to jump into the coach. Yvette and her mother and her aunt all luughed with tears in their eyes. “Nero! Nero!” shouted Yvette from her high seat beside the driver. We passed through Crepy and mov- ed slowly on toward Senlis. "The Joy of the French Who Return .1 After German Retirement.

I asked the driver of the? carriage to take them with us, and! with pleasure he did so. "If the house is still there, we shall find Nero," the mother answered. "If the candy shop is there, it will be open, you may be sure." "Mamma," said Yvette, "will it be that the clndy ship is open? Will Nero be watching the house? Do Ger- mans take does like Nero?

It is l woody, globular pod from six to eight inches in diameter, and it grows' I on long Hana-like stems that hang in 3a tangled mass from the trunk and [from the base of the large branches. _ The fruit is grayish-brown or rusty in ,color. and much of the size of the can- ‘non balls that decorate so many pub- lie squares throughout the world. The {French Guianaians-whose imagina- ltions seem to be modern-noticing the {shape of the fruit, its horschide-like 'texture, and especially the seamlike scar that encircles it where the calyx of the Rower detaches itself from the ‘fruit, nicknamed the tree the "base- jhall tree." . _' In tropical America-even so far north as the Canal Zone-there is a leurious tree correctly known as the ri0li'il'-lii'i tree, but frequently called ithe "baseball tree" by the natives of ‘French Guiana, where it grows in its greatest profusion. The tree thrives jbest on low, moist soil near rivers. ‘The public parks in Port of Spain, _Trinidad, and the botanical garden in Georgetown, British Guiana, contain excellent specimens that never fail to [attract the attention of the observant 'tourist. The South Americans use the shell of the fruit as they do that of the calabash. After freeing the ripe pulp of its multitude of seeds, each of which is somewhat larger than a dime, they make a drink that is refreshing to fever patients. When overripe the pulp has a peculiarly disagreeable odor. The cannon-ball tree springs up quickly and in the forest attains heights between sixty and ninety feet, but in the open its crown spreads out more and does not reach such a height. In March the cannon-hall tree drops its leaves with great suddenness, but its new foliage comes out with equal speed in a few days. The pink, curi- ously formed flowers, with their strong. penetrating perfume, are very" abundant. and during their blood make the tree a beautiful sight.

When the Russians first came to one of the Aleutian Islands they were told that a vast country lay to the eastward. and that its name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts called their own island Nagun Alayeksa, meaning the land lying near Alayeksa. By a process of Russianizing and Angliciz- ing Alayeksa became Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became Unalaska. Chicago Tribune Says it is English Corruption of Alayeska. The name Alaska ig an English corruption or perversion of Alayeska, as it was called by the aboriginal in- habitants of the Aleutian Islands, lying to the westward. This silk is spun by"the mollusk to furnish an anchor-line, by which it fastens itself to a convenient rock. It is extremely fine and very strong. Cleaned, dried and passed through combs, it is reduced to delicate threads of a lustrous brownish-yellow hue, which are woven into gloves, stock- ings and other articles. A pair of stockings of this material to-day costs $6. But the so-called “silkworm of the sea"-the designation being purely figurative and poetieal--is a bivalve mollusk properly known as the "pin- na" and native to the Mediterranean. It spins a silk so beautiful that in an- cient days the fibre was reserved ex- clusively for the weaving of royal gar- menu. Plenty of worms live in the sea, and some of them are very beautiful creatures. Which latter fact ought to be consoling to ourselves, inasmuch as there are naturalists who contend that the earliest ancestor of the human race was a marine worm.
