Sherbet Is the Popular Beverage In That Thirsty Country. The great beverage in Persia is sher, et, which is plentifully supplied and f which there are many varieties, from the bowl of water with a scmeeze of lemon to the clear, eoncentrated juice of any sort of fruit to which wa- ter is added to dilute it. The preparation of sherbet, which is done with the greatest care, is a very Important point in so thirsty a country as Persia and one to which much time is devoted. It may be either expressed from the juifie ofetarruit freshly gath- ered or from the bleserved extract of pomegranates, cherries or lemons, MiX- ed with sugar and submitted to a cer- tain degree of heat to preserve it for winter consumption. Another sherbet much drunk is called guzartgebben. It Is made from the honey of the tamarisk tree. This honey is not the work ok the bee, but the product of a small insect or worm liv- ing in. vast numbers under the leaves of the shrub. During the mouths o August and September the insects are collected and the honey is preserved. When used for sherbet it is mixed with vinegar, and, although not so delicious as that made from fruit, it makes an excellent temperance beverage. Only among the rich and fashionable are glasses used. In all other cases sherbet is served in china bowls and drunk from deep wooden spoons carved in pear wood. SOLDIERS' UNIFORMS. They Are Not khaki, but "Gotten or "Wool 0. En speaking of the uniforms worn by the, soldiers in the Im'mlar ermy and the militia do not speak of them as khaki.

D." or "Wool 0, D." The "O. I)." means olive drab and Is descriptive of the color of the imitorms. Cotton nig. forms are worn in the summer and wool in the winter, Xhakt is a word of East Indian ori- gin, Ineaning dusty, and comes from the word khak, meaning dusty. It is a clay or dust colored cloth, originally coming front India. It was first worn y the native British troops and later by all British troops serving abroad or on campaign. It was later adopted by the United States government for both field and colonial service because of its service- able qualities and because it was sup- posed to make it harder for the enemy to detect soldiers. The color of the uniforms was supposed to merge into the color of the grolind. Khaki is lighter in color than olive drab, and the khaki cloth is said to be superior to the cottort uniforms now be, ing worn in the army. Praise For the Growlers. "The growlers," says a Georgia phi- losopher, "are the boys that keep the world moving, for when folks are growling all the time the world stops to ask the reason and straightway finds a remedy for the trouble. If the world paid any attention to the optimists things would be at a standstill. Tak- ing it for granted that everything's 0 K is the end of progress." I Distinguishing Marks. "My dinner coat needs a button, Ju- de. Please attend to it tonight." "But I can't tell your dinney coat from your breakfast jacket, dear," "Why, the breakfast jacket'has eggs on it and the dinner coat gravy."— Gentle Finality.

Flying Itself, ontends, is almost safe. Of course, any mechanism is apt to g,et out of 'Pair, but if th€.,re ar' no guns be- low it is possible for an injured ma- ine to be safely landed. Nowa'- days in the construction of the piaraes considerable attention is paid to a design that will help to break a fa tor the pilot. even if the machine eoilnpses around him. In the older type the motor and propeller were hebind the pilot, and if the ma- chine crashed to tile earth nose first he weight behind often fell forward on. the unfortunate aviator, crushing his life out. The modern machines are tractors, 'with the engine and propeller in front, and when a ma- ehine gets out of hand it is the en- gine and propeller that first strike the ground. Flying at a great height is often safer than flying a few hundred feet over the ground, for if a machine becomes unmanage- able, the pilot has more time to get it righted. He mentions the case ot a pilot who was flying at 17,000 feet, was wounded, fell 10,000 feet, and the rush of air restored him to consciousness and enabled him to make a safe landing. The danger from anti-aircraft guns is .exaggerated. Very few ma- chines or pilots are brought down by, shrapnel. Riddling the plane -with bullets, so long as the pilot, the en- gine, the gas tank, or the propeller are not hit, makes very little differ- ence. Machines seldom come in with- out a few holes in the planes; often half the wires and braces will be Scratched. In fact, it is taken for granted that every time a machine goes out over the enemy's lines it will have been hit, and on this ac- count it is always examined after each trip. When a flyer is not in the air he has far more liberty than an officer in any other branch of the service. He can rove behind the lines on his own machine or drive car if he desires to do so, A flyer re- mains an individual to a greater exteat then an ordinary army or naval officer, and tbis, perhaps, is one of the reasons- that the air service maker, such a strong appeal to so mane ehighemirited young men, eblesra Most Sere .n Oodble-ended ploughs that can be operated eatteity well in either diree- Lim( are being employed on the,sugar plantations 'of.

PARIS, July S.—"A Second Lich- owsky," Le Temps calls Gen. Count Max Bontgelas for his article in the 33erhaer Tageblatt, protesting against practices of war of which he has been an indignant witness. Count Montgelas commanded on the French front at the beginning of the war, and was disgusted by th., excesses committed by the German armies in Belgium and the invade, French departments. He sought to treat the civilian population With jus- tice and butnanity, and was retired tor this cause. He took refuge in Switzerland, where he studied the origin of the war and the violation of Belgium, reaching the same conclu- sion as Dr. Wilhelm Muehlon, former director of the Krupp works, and Pref. Friedrich Foerster, of the Dili- ve7sity of Munich, both of wlionf have strongly criticized the German. Government. Count Montgelas' article in the Tageblatt was extremely outspetken for a German general, its charges against militarism, supporting the allegation of Viscount Grey and President Wilson. Le Temps adds that it is interest- ing to find a professional soldier confirming the German Foreign Secretary, von Knehlmann, on the impossibility. of a solution exclusive - 1 bv arms.
