IKurds and sold into batetns or Arab encampments, are being rescued front captivity and worse through the ef- farts of the Near Last Relief, now that the Near Eastis under allied rule, is told by the Rev, E. 0. Jago; who has just returned from western Asia, Itis no uncommon sight in Aleppo, 'Syria," says Mr. Jago, "to see scores of children brought in be the searching parties. The children are all dirty, raggd and starving, and many of them ';have been tattooed by their Arab mas-, tees. "Broken hearted mothers and sis tors pace up, and deem the line of the rescued hoping to see their son. of `'daughter or brother, stolen three of lour years ago. Many times there are helnpy reunions, but often the quest is In vain, and broken hearted mothers seem td despair of ever seeing their loved ones again." Bhltish Recover Children. . An importantafeature of Mr, Sago's work since the country was rescued from the fanatical domination of the Turks has been the recovery of these stolen children. From parents and friends all information iiossibie about ;ire missing ones was obtained anis this Was sifters down and turned over teethe British commandant of the district, who, in eeery instance where the in- formation was definite, has succeeded In recovering the stolen children. Among the rescued are many young girls whose fate in the harems has been too terrible to describe. Under the British regime in Ar- menia and that of the French in Syria the Turks are on their good behavior -and in ninny Cases are cooperating with tife Near East Relief workers.. Even the brutal Kurds. long the op- pressors of the Armenians, are quiet,. but those who know them beet be- lieve; they are only wditi ag for the withdrawal of the allied forces for an- other orgy of murder and pillage upon the tniouen.iing Christians.

The Wrong Lizzie. "Queen Elisabeth will be our sub- ject for to -night," announced tate class master in the evening school -to the body of young men gathered there. "Elizabeth!" mused Jack Case, sit- ting in the top corner of the class near the window. "Now, I used not to like the name of Elizabeth; but, of course, that was before I knew Lizzie. "She thinks It beat that I should come to this night:school, although I don't knew how she thinks that sitting here listening to Queen Elizabeth's history Is going to make me a better clerk. Still, she's the dearest little girl in the world, and on a fine night like this—" And ho gazed eentimeintally at a star he saw twinkling through the window, As something far distant he heard the master drone. Suddenly, however, his meditations were rudely interrupted by the teacher, who had noticed his apt, -stargazing attitude. "And how old was Elizabeth, Mr. Case?" he rapped out, "Eighteen last birthday!" stumbled Jack, quickly pulling himself together. Then the class sniggered. Fashions for Boys l TONIC TREATMENT FOR H� NERVES Neuralgia and Other: Severe Ner- vous Disorders Cured Through the Blood. In Litany swore nervous disorders the best remedy is often a tonic. The most acttte tonic treatment is recom- mended by the highest medical authority to arrest the progress of such disease.

The war gave us nearly heroes. Peace will give us many more, but of a dif- ferent kind—tile heroes who make the best of it. Maimed, or blinded, or weakened, they have come out of -the hospitals to face the future bravely and heroically, although very often ebery apparent possibility of livelihood of success huts been snatched away by the war. One of these any heroes is Menne- quilt-Bayeux, a ennegafu Iteveux,a sculptor of Metz, When till war began lie was called to the German cc bora with all the youth of Alsace-Lorrui;le, but because the Germans feared that his allegiance could not be tr'asted if he were order- ail to take tip new against France, ho Was sent to the east against ;las- sie, As quickly as poeeible be semen - tiered and marched off to Siberia with the German prisoners. Managing to escape, he made his way on feet to the English at Archangel, who helped him to Enelanil, stnil front there lee crossed to 1 ruice and volunteered. For three years and a half he fought in the b'rencls army against the Ger- mans; then he received three wounds, amid when he cause out of the hospital lee lead lust the use of boat his hands.' Few people would blame a sculptor without' hands forgiving up his work; but Ii'cunequm-lieveur -believed that if God had given him a great and vary original gift as a sculptor, Ho meant him to use it, and he set himself at once to make the best of it. Ilis toes, he believed, could be trained to mix Ills clay, and he began to practice with them. His mouth and nose, he decided, must manipulate his tools, and with a determiination truly heroic. he hogpn to train them also. Later, he learned of an electric contrivance that—when it would work, which was not .always—helped hint to use his fingers. He then set up his studio and began his old work of modeling. When the artists of Alsace-Lorraine began an exhibition of their work in London last April, a number of strik- lug and very original figures by Manne- quin -Reveler, modeled by toes, nose and mouth, were prominent among the exhibits. The critics 'pronounced, them only slightly less well done than his former work, and they added that they saw no reason why lee cannot entirely regain his skill by such indomitable pluck and bravery. • Rich coal seams, estimated to con- tain 6,000;000 tons of coal to the square mile on the surface, have been located in Spitzbeegen by a Scottish expedition under Dr. W.

Erasing the scars of war -in Europe is not confined to the gigantic work of reclaiming the battlefields, says a London despatch. eiities far removed from shellfire were, severely scarred through 'meted., principally because money 'Or labor could not be found to keep in repair hundreds of tltg'iisattds of houses, main thoroughfares and. even country roads. London suffered not only front en- forced neglect of streets and:buildings, but from Zeppelins and Gotllas, Most of the damage is fast being repaired, but some will remain as mementoes. 0:cord Street, which had become so full of holes that riding over it on a bus was like riding a camel, is closed and slowly emerging from wreck into a first-class thoroughfare.

"Singing; Sands." At certain points along the United' States seacoasts "vocal sands" are found in patches, exhibiting a phe- nomenon that has never been satis- factorily explained. The beach at Manchester, New Hampshire, is fam- ous for them. These sands, when dry, yield a pe- culiar. sound if struck by the foot, or elven when stroked by the hand, At the same time a tingling sensation is felt by the fingers or by bare feet, The sound resembles the distant barking of a dog, and it may some- times be heard at a distance of 100 feet. Most curious, surely. The most remarkable "singing the hootllke sounds are greatly inten- sified by putting a quantity in a bag and slamming it about.

Recent measurements taken of an infantry regiment showed no variation, except a couple of Inches in height, or twenty pounds in weight. The Japanese are expert gardeners. They give such individual attention to each blossom that wonderful results are obtained. Native gardeners have been known to help the buds of deli- cate and choice flowers to open by gently fanning them. Thirty-five dollars a year is said to be sufficient to enable a man to live in Japan—that is, pay for board and lodg- ing'—and many have been known to manage on fifteen dollars a year.
