If he is not taught it, he will probably have an experience li that of a Western recruit who says that in his first week in camp he lost a great deal of sleep at night. When he lay on his back his stomach was cold; when he turned over his pack was cold; when he pulled the blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet, and when his feet were under the blanket his neck was uncomfortable. A veteran's recipe may, however, be worth considering. He says the only way to manipulate an army blanket, on a cold night, is to pull your knees up to your chin, lie face downward, and hold the four corners of the blanket in your teeth.—Christian Science Monitor. !

Dow to scandalize what happened in Eden. We all know all about the apple—but) at that, it wasn’t a circumstance to the one Paris gave Helen about the time Homer got born in seven or eight cities, and failing to palm off his poetry on the city editors, wished it on the luckless schoolboy of all time to come. Prof. Dow would have us believe that Mother Eve was Adam's second venture, and that the first Mrs. Adam, Lilith by name, went in for divorce, and, after shaking Adam, married Beelzebub, who is well, but not favorably, known to Bible student’. Prof. Dow has got his centuries mixed. In those good old day: you married freely and divorced sparingly— whereas now yu marry sparingly, and divorce freely. When a man could annex the whole beauty bunch, fifteen or twenty at ¢ time, and no questions asked, it: wasn’t the thing to do much divorcing—it wasn’t done. We don’t know what would be the Pentateuck for piker—but that is what Adam would have been had he divorced Lilith or let her divorce him in the crude state of alimony then existing Take David. When David saw Bathsheba he realized that he needed a wife—another wife —and by luck and chance, his army needed 2 warrior in the front rank of battle of just about the size and general appearance of Uriah Bathsheba’s then husband. After the funeral, David did the right thing by the widow. David had his faults, and his falls—but not his Sioux fam had his Paradise—but not his pair o’ disasters, maybe. According to Prof. Dow, Lilith after leaving Adam, married Beelzebub, the Prince of Devils Adam and Eve raised Cain, but Beelzebub and Lilith ‘d_ the—well, you know!—the one personage who can always horn in and be sure of the greatest personal following of anybody in politics, bar not even Bryan or Roosevelt. The first Mrs. Adam is mentioned but once, in the Bible. “onsider the Lilith,” it says, “they toil not, neither do they spin.” Of course, so far as the spin was concerned, if no body had the gasoline—but why “they?” It seems to imply that instead of one first wife, there were two of them. Or maybe poor Adam just imagined she w doubleheader. When a man tries to adjust himself to the moods and tenses of just one first wife, he'd swear that she is a dozen. Varium et mutabile!
