AMERICAN WOMAN AND THE WOOLEN STRING.
We read about “knitting nerve.” and involuntarily
we ejaculate, mentally, if not aloud "Piffled
"Knitting nerve” as the pathological faddists would
have us believe, is the latest war disease. It is a brand
new ailment, a species of neuradynamia caused by over
application to knitting needles and a woolen string. As
it appears this most modern of maladies has been discov
ered and catalogued by the high-browed medicos of the
American Gotham. Without any apology in the premise,
we announce here and now that we hold this discovery in
scorn and contempt.
There is a reason for our cold skepticism and wither
ing scorn. We hark back to the da vs when mother, and
maiden aunt, and grandmother, to say nothing of our in
numerable sisters, used to sit knitting as a pastime dur
ing every moment not engaged in the discharge of some
other duty, or *the enjoyment of some pleasure that pre
vented. Memory conjures a real picture of the loved
forms and the gentle faces in the semi-gloom of the even
ing firelight, sometimes verging so nearly to darkness
that the deft and swiftly moving fingers could not be seen
but alwavs the steadv clicking of the needles could be
• *
heard. Mother, grandmother, sister, aunt knitted in
those days with as little conscious effort as they hummed
the simple folk melodies or the good old gospel tunes while
they went about their -wark. Was there ever thought or
suggestion of “knitting nerve?" Absolutely no chance
for it.
Between that day and this the efficacy of the knitting
needle and the woolen string was almost forgotten. Love
of the same type that filled the atmosphere about that dim
glowing fireside has revived it. brought it hack, set the
fingers—nimble and awkwardly learning to be nimble—
at work. With the knitting needle the American woman
of today makes the fabricated woolen string a part of her
heraldry. And the interpretation of its service of love
and patriotism.
Let not hf r heart be troubled over the vain imaginings
of the supersubtile diagnosticians. Keep the needles
clicking and the woolen string fabricating for the loved
sons, brothers, sweethearts and patriots who need every
comfort that can be provided for them.
Now the War Department announces that married
men will be accepted. Mr. Baker now begins to see this
is a war in which the country will need fighters who had
experience.—(Houston Host).
German statesmen may from time to time consider
peace, but we can't detect anything that indicates that the
Kaiser ever does. He’s welded to his idol,—(St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.)
With all the women and children gone and many are
treasures removed, there seems to be no good reason why
the Germans should desire to bombard Venice—(New
York World).
- *
The Japanese General who remarks that Japan is
ready to join the Allies in war might complete the infomia
tion by explaining who is holding her back.—(Pittsburg
Dispatch.) .. ? * :
"Fight like the devil!" exclaims Mr. Bryan. We con
gratulate Mr. Bryan for being the Colonel once more. Our
regards. Colonel Bryan.—(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

Alienation of affections is claiming
the attention in lega' circles. This is
