PEACE AMOMti THE MILITANTS.
A„ order has gone forth from Mrs. Pankhnrst to her militant fol-
lowing in England that for the time being all demonstration
discontinued. H jn Lon<ion. u l8 indeed

n the neonlo of England than the cause of women.
ThoTar lords are in the limelight, the war iords occupy the at-
tnniion of the p<«ple For once militant men have hushed the tiiades
l d "rirof^tant women. There is in addition to all this an
element of logic in the decision of Mrs. Pankhurst. The people of Eng-
land are in no temper to be worried and harassed with the demands of
these fanatical female*, when issues calling upon the honor of

Borne authorltle. hold that the origin
of the visiting card lay In the circum-
stance that when Pericles first laid
siege to the heart of Aspasla he aent
her a bouquet to which, fearful lest
she might not guess from whom the
compliment proceeded, he caused to
be attached a atrip of wood wherein
lila name was cut.
According to Bertarelll, who, among
others, has been at much pains to com-
pile the history of the card, It is dlflV
cult to say whether It was first used
In Greece or ln China. However that
may be, it seems to be an ascertained
fact that the visiting card did not
really obtain to any extent ln Europe
until the time of louis XIV. It
crossed the Pyrenees with Philip o!
Anjou when he was installed in the
palace at Madrid, and Louis lilinselt
was the cause of its being introduced
Into the Netherlands.
Then it waB adopted ln Italy, where
It was subjected to much elaboration
First, the cardB showed a modest hea-
der of flowers or leaveB; then ap
peared landscapes, bits of archltec
ture, allegories, etc. Finally came
scenes of rural life, alternating with
views of monuments and towns. The
name was printed on the picture of a
wall, a tree or a fountain.
A view of the Adriatic figured on
the caril of Count Alexandre Papoli.
while the Franco family favored a
large Btone guarded by two dogs, with
the amphitheater of Verona in the
background.

Men and women in God'B image werf
not made as whining, groveling beings
They were made to stand erect, men
tally as well as physically; to laboi
well and joyously; to take the gifts ol
Providence, whether they be joy or sot-
row and hear them cheerfully anfi
with courage; to add ever something tt
the world's store of happiness, if it bt
only a smile.
l.ook up! See how flooded with sun
shine this beautiful world is when
faced with smiling eyes.

Using Dog# In War.
Considering how obviously fitted!
dogs are for police work and cer
tain services in war it is curious tli
more use hsis not been made of then
in modern times.
Of course, now that hand-to-hand1
lighting is to all intects and purpose*
extinct, doga are no longer formidable
in war, but for sentry duty or th
finding of wounded on the battleflel
dogs—as was shown during the Ru
bo-Japanese war—can be of grei
service.
The ancients employed dogs e*
tensively as sentries. So also did the
Emperor Charles V and Philip, king
! of Spain, while Napoleon urged Mar
| mont to fasten dogs to stakes arount
the walls of Alexandria to keei
guard.
I>ig senses are very much mori
acute than those of human beings
especially the senses of scent an<!
hearing, which, of course, are invaiu
able for police work.
National Anthem Naturally.
The organist was not lacking ln pa
triotism, yet rebelled when asked tc
play "The Star Spangled Banner" ai
a wedding.
"It Is not appropriate," he said.
"Ain't tt?" said the bride's father
"Cut all the rest of the program, if you
want to, but stick to that. After me
having the hardest kind of a fight tc
keep Belle's mother from marrying
her off to a foreigner! Between Belle
and me we won out for an American
and if this ain't the time for tho 'Star
Spangled Banner.' I'd like to know
when that time is."
