Pilgrims.Early reports concerning the tragedy at Greenfield, Mass, February 28, contained some inaccuracies.Alice Bosquet, aged 10, mentioned as having been rescued by Ralph Hartson, knew how to swim, and kept afloat untila rope was thrown to ber by rescuers.The fatality occurred only a few rods behind the tenement building in which the Kelley family live.Hartson, a pative of Hatley, boarded with them.with coat off, was sitting in the kitchen when a Polander cgme from the rear of the building and gave the alarm.Harteon rushed down stairs and out by a rear door.He could not swim a stroke, but forgetting this, plunged into the icy water and in some way managed to rescue Myra Kelley, aged 9.He did not see Frances, who probably came up beneath the ice after the three girls had gone down together in six feet of water.Neither of the Kelley girls could swim.What kept Myra afloat until Hartson reached her is something of a mystery.From the point where Frances disappeared a channell was cut through the ice to the dam; two Loats, manned iand equipped with grapples and searchlighte, kept up the bunt until 3.30 Tuesday morning, when the body was recovered.Upon arrival at Rock Island the body was taken to the vee- try of the Congregational Church, where it remained until Friday afternoon, when the burial took place in the Derby Line Cemetery, Rev.E.L.Rice officiating.Members of Border

century, died Wednesday forenoon.He had been in failing health for about a year, and last summer wae away for hospital treatment for rome time.His final illness lasted ten days.Coming to Rock Island when a young man, the late Mr.Fregeau entered the Pike store, where he received his early business training.At that time, as since, the manufacture of overalls was a part of the Pike business, and with thie Mr.Fregeau wae latterly identi- fled.He left his early post to become a partner of the late James A.Gilmore, afterwards his brother.in-law.Mr, Gilmore was then engaged in the grocery businees, and in addition to this the new firm began the manufacture of overalls under the name of the Rock Island Overall Co.Later on the partnership wae dissolved, Mr.Fregean acquiring the overall basioss.From its small beginning in its cramped quarters over the grocery store, the business continued to grow until it occupied the large factory building on Main street where it is now located and will likely be continued by the late proprietor\u2019s sons, and his brother, Mr.L, D.Fregean, who from almost the beginning has been identified with the establishment and contributed to its development.The late 8.T.Fre- | geau served in the Rock Island council for some years and was also mayor.| He was well known, not only in this community, but among business men! of the Eastern

operated over our highways, it hax been found that wany of what ure called \u201cimproved\u201d roads have failed to withstand the ad- ditionul traffic imposed by the new form of local freight transport.This has -glven rise to new problems of rond construction and maintenance, and In some states hus led to the enactment of laws prohibiting the use of the large capacity truck, où the assumption that it Ix the heavy truck that does most of the damage to the road.The first result of this legisla tion bux been to encourage the pernl- cious practice of ovcrlonding, under which trucks designed to curry sufe- ly a limited weight ure forced to carry a large additional load, The tires of the varlous sizes of truck are made of u suflicient width to prevent thelr breaking or cutting the rond surface when loaded to thelr proper full capacity, but when an overload is ndd ed the tire width Is necessarily too narrow, and the danger of injury to the rond hecomes manifest.The tire width required for certain loads has been carefully worked out after many years\u2019 experience, and most states have Inws fixing the welght that is borne by an inch of tire width, In all standard types of truck the width of tire corresponds to the load that can be safely carried, and truck munu- facturers warn their customers uguinst carrying a greater weight than that for which each size of truck is designed.The enactment of a law prohibiting the use of large capacity trucks leaves the same tonnage of freight to be moved, and with the heavy truck barred resort must be bad to the smaller «izes.This means in many «uses less economical and efficient service, and prompts the manufacturer or merchant to try to wake up for Toss in load capnelty by increasing the size of the load, With this additional load the gross weight on the tire exceeds the factor of safety, and thereby increases the danger of breaking the road surface.It is self-evident that a truek designed to carry two tons with corresponding width of tires, Overloaded Truck Increases Danger of Cutting Surface of Roads, must do more damage to the rond when it carries a ton or so more of Toad than its tires were intended for.A striking example of the relation of overloading to tmpact is given in the prefiminary report of the United States bureau of publie roads, in which it is stated that a three-ton truck, with a load of five tons, running ot a speed of 15 miles per hour over a two-inch rut, had an impact of slightly over 17 tons, while aw Hg-ton aruck with a load of Hie tons, under the sume conditions had an impact of only 12 tons, \u2018Fhe fact that the over- londed truck had a heavier \u201cunsprung\u201d weight, that is, weight not sustalned by springs, accounted to some extent for its greater impact, but there ean be no question that the overloading was à material factor in causing the Improved greatly increased wheel pressure on the road, Apadust (his danger Louch owners are constantly being warned by truek manufacturers, who strongly advise that ne truck should be made to carey A greater lond than the weight defined by its e{nssification, Nome states have enacted laws imposing fines for truck overloading, but it will probably he found that enlightened self-in- terest will prove to be the best cheek on a practice that bias been shown to be dangerous both te truck owners and drivers and the

IRISH CITY IN IRELAND Cork, third city of Ireland, a considerable part of which was recently destroyed by fire, bears a very super- ficlal resemblance to our own New York in that its nucleus is sltuated on an Island enfolded by two arms of a river where its waters meet a bay, The comparison soon becomes a contrast, however, for Cork is a city of less than 80,000 souls, has few pub- lle bullidings or thoroughfares of importance, and wus built on a low, swampy site instead of on the rocky ribs of Mother Earth, The stream that enfolded Cork before it grew across its watery barriers Is the River Lee which rises in a little lake to the north.From a tiny island in the lake came the plous hermit, St.Fin Barre, who established a monastery on the island at the moyth of the river in the seventh century, and from this start the present city has grown.Both the Catholle and Protestant cathedrals of Cork are dedicated to this early Irish saint.At the head of one of the finest barbors in Treland\u2014a land-locked cove whose waters are as placid as those of a lake\u2014Cork has been subject since its establishment to attacks by sen marauders, Invading Danes burned the city in 821 and again in 1012, and after the second destruction founded on the site a Danish trading post.The Irish, again in control of the city, submitted to the English in 1172, who for many years maintained a precarious foothold.The Trish eventually regained Cork not by force of arms but by \u201cinfiltration,\u201d for before a great while the one-time English post was the most Irish city In Ireland, its government entirely in the hands of the people of Erin.A tragedy overtook Cork the year Columbus discovered America, and was visited most heavily on {ts lord mayor.During that year the city received and assisted Perkin Warbeck.pretender to the English throne.The mayor lost his head and the city its charter.Cork\u2019s wonderful harbor has given it a maritime importance since early days.Recognition of this fact Is seen in the title of admiral of the port bestowed on the lord mayor of Cork by Edward IV and held by the lords mayor to the present day.Queenstown, at the head of the outer harbor, and practically a part of Cork, is the port of call and departure for trans-Atlantic liners, This fact has made Cork a city of sadness to many, for perhaps a million or more men and women, in largest part mere boys and girls forced by economic pressure to emigrate, have there bidden goodby with set faces and streaming eyes to the land they love so well.While there are practically no polnts of great interest in Cork, close by is one of the best known and most frequently visited spots in all Ireland.It Is the ruined tower of Blarney castle, stronghold of Cormac McCarthy, who, legend has it, instructed by an old hag he had rescued to kiss one \u2018of the stones of the tower\u2014the fnni- ous \u201cblarney stonc\u201d\u2014became irresist- -Ibly eloquent.\u2014\u2014_\u2014 SYRIA: UNDER FRENCH AND ZIONIST RULE Syria, for the control of the northern part of which the Turkish Nationalists are threatening to fight the French mandate-holders, and the southern part of which is settling quietly under Zionist and British control, is another name for \u201cthe Holy Land ;\" for under Tur key It comprised the region extending from the Taurus mountains to Egypt, and from the desert to \u201cthe Great Sea.\u201d Its population numbers ahout three and a half millions, of Semitic origin, speaking the Arabic language, and yet \u2018With so many races intermingled through the centuries of the various conquests and occupations that the people cannot claim any one race us their own, Greek, Roman and European crusader have all blended with the ancient Semitic stock to produce the Syrians of today, whom Lord Cromer, in his memoirs, termed \u201cthe cream of the East.\u201d In Syria was the one green spot of \u2018Turkey\u2014the Lebanon mountains, In ancient times the mountains were everywhere covered with forests, The cedars of Lebanon not only furnished timber for the building of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem, but the kings of Egypt annually flouted large rafts of logs from the Syrian coast to supply the demnnds of the cities of the Nile This constant demand from foreign lands, together with the Inck of any system of reforestation, has practi cnlly denuded the mountains of the whole land.Once more to cover the mountains and hills with pine and cedar and onk woull be a simple task if carried on systematically, and under the new control this work is now being undertaken, The chief enemies, in the Inst few years, of reforestation by nature were the herds of goats, which every spring roamed over the whole country and devoured every green thing.The little seedling trees suffered especlal- ly.\u2018 In 1800, hecause of massacres, the European powers lusisted that thes mountains be made autonomous.And following that date this little districl became a living demonstration of what good government will produce and of whut the people of the land are capable of becoming, The steep mountain sides were terraced to a height of 4,000 feet and planted to olives, figs and vines Taxes were low, safety to persons and property secured, good roads built and kept In repair.The people constructed more comfortable homes and sent their sons to schools and college.RESOURCES OF ALBANIA Now that the Rapullo agreement between Italy and Jugo-Slavia has cleared up the status of the northern purt of the eastern coast of the Adriatic, Albania is the omy country bordering on those historic waters about whose boundaries there is still some doubt.As one of the countries whose confines will probably be fixed in the pear future Albania takes on an added interest.The resources of this portion of the Balkun peninsula are dealt with in the following communication to the National Geographic society from Brig.Gen.George P.Scriven, U, 8.A, Who mude a tour of the country short- Iy after the Austrians had been driven out in 1918.\u201cThe Albanians are probably neither s0 good no so bad as they have heen painted, but certainly they are worth the effort necessary to manage their own affairs and to work their little farms in the fertile valleys, to herd their sheep and weave their garments of wool, if only they are let alone.They do not submit easily to government; have no love for chance strangers, and are slow to accept change in the manner of living or of cuitivat- ing the fields.\u201cThe mountains of Albania are practically unexplored.Mineral pitch, or asphaltum, has been known since the time of the Romans, and near Valona I have seen specimens, clean, hack and hard, which promise well, Traces of petroleum, too, have been found Ly the Italians, and 1 am told boring Is, or is about to be, undertaken, Copper and fron are belleved to exist in the hills about the Malik valley, and coai, silver und lead are sald to be present elsewhere {n the mountains, Gold mines were worked in ancient times and Albanian silver was known to the Venetians, but the whole mountain country has lain neglected for ages.\u201cThe climate of Albania is consid: ered healthful in the uplands, though subject to violent changes, which are trying to the stranger, at certain seu- sons, even If he Is confined to one locality.But when a traveler, moving rapidly about the country in a motor \u2014the only practicable way of traveling in these days\u2014rushes several thousand feet from a mountain height, cold and windy and probably snow-cov- ered, into a warm, sunshiny valley and back again in the fraction of an hour, it is well to have a care.\u201cMay is the pleasantest month of the year and the valleys then look their best.Snow, of course, lies in the mountains until well into the spring, but seldom lasts throughout the summer, as the tallest peaks do not attain an elevation of more than 8,000 feet.\u201cThe fever of the Balkans is persistent, but is not\u2019 especially fatal.Still it is to be dreaded for its linger- Ing effects and the greut debility it causes.The usual specific is.quinine, a supply of which is placed on the mess table or carried about in the pocket.\u201d \u2014_\u2014\u2014 TURKESTAN: RUGS AND WOMAN PROBLEMS Turkestan has been figuring in the world's news lately because of the activities of the Bolsheviki in the central Asian berderland of the old Russian empire, but it is known best to Americaus-bv its wonderful rugs, How the rug industry has affected the people of Turkestan is told in the fol- | In the Bazaar at Merv, lowing communication to the Natlonai Geographic society : \u201cIf some one asserted that the American love fof Orlental rugs had changed the marriage customs of a nomadie people, had brought forth on this globe a comparatively homely race of human heings, and had built up a complex system of morals in the heart of Asin, it would seem like a sensational story, Yet that statemen\u2019 seems well founded, and love for beauty In Amerlea has reacted on the fa: cinl features of a princely race 1, Turkestan with deplorable result Truly it i18 n small world when nn ox tistic recluse in a New York fathers a homely son in a distant de ert.Yet the rising generation of Turke mans are distinctively homelior th their princely sires.And the conque- of thelr domain by Russia does mot entirely explain it, \u201cThe Tekkintzi rug, more commonly known by the less distinctive name of Bokhara, Is the loveliest product of the desert loom, Its charm lies not in intricacy of design, manifold detall, or symbolic meaning.It 18 not a picture in wool.Brillinacy of coloring it does not have, But in richness of tone the Tekkintzi wins its rightful place as queen of rugs, \u201cYears of care In selecting the long- fibered, spotless wool, in dyeing It In reds fromm Bokhara, blues from Afghanistan, or blacks from Merv, with a touch of orange or yellow now and then, and in weaving it beneath the hot sun of the dry desert, give the Tekkintzi a character which more hurried methods cannot give.It reveals no trace of foreign accent, for its language of lasting beauty Is bred in the blood.\u201cFor centuries, possibly extending back to the Iranian peoples whom Al exander found here on his way to India, the Tekke maiden had been taught to dye and weave.When she was married to her Mohammedan husband, the young bride took with her to her master\u2019s hut the rugs her patient toil had formed, and he in turn paid a corresponding price to her parents.Her dowry wus her skill und its product.She was a menial, but with the sou! of an artist.Iler toil was long, but it was not drudgery.She was not a slave, for her work demanded the in- spirution of a soul, und she hud un enviable position compared with that of many of her Oriental sisters in polygamy.\u201cGradually these masterpieces In mahogany, deep clivcolate, terra-cotta, old rouse, burnt orange and black found thelr way to America, where their appeal was irresistible.Buyers raced one another across Europe into the Transcaspian home of history to secure the priceless treasures of a conquered race.The skill of the Tekke woman began to win its reward.ler genlus had caused the art world tu wear a path to her hut aud her open- alr loum.But there wus the unhappy side, \u201cOnly the rich young Turkomans could afford to buy a wife at the ex- | orbitant price her skill made possible.Parents ralsed the price of their daughters, consoling themselves with the fact that if they could not produce offspring they could at least produce valuable rugs.The age of marriage became higher.Caught in a trap which skillful women had woven, the young men revolted from the exaggerated demands of the avaricious and unromuntie parents and sought cheaper wives elsewhere, while Tekke woin- en, robbed of love and enmeshed In thelr own skeints of fine wool, dragged out busy lives of hated spinsterhood.\u201d ee WHY SALTON SEA IS SALT Reports that plans are under way to develop water power from the Colorado river\u2014which gives ample proof of the power it can exert in the carving of the Grand Canyon\u2014are said to have aroused apprehension In the minds of the operators of (rrigated farms in the Imperial valley of California, near the shores of the Salton sea.The Imperial valley depends on the Colorado for its irrigation waters.The Salton sea is really a part of the Gulf of California with a great ryke of slit separating it from the greater body of water.\u201cMany centuries ago the Gulf of California extended to a point about 150 miles northwestward from its present head,\u201d says a communication to the National Geographic soclety from Arthur P.Davis.\u201cIt also extended up the present valley of the Colorado river at least to Yuma and probably somewhat above, The Colorado river, rising in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming and the Rocky mountains of Colorado, carved the rocks along Ita course and brought the resulting sands and mud down in its swift current, discharging them into the arin of the gulf near Yuma, \u201cAs this process went on, without cessation century after century, the valley was gradually fille, a della , built up, over which the river flowed i far out into the gulf, It encroached progressively up the shores of the gulf until it built up n delta entirely across, Joining the foothills of the Cocopah mountains on the western shore.This cut off the head of the gulf, and the arid climate waters thus separated and left an inland depression, which at Its lowest point was nearly 300 feet below sea- level.Tt is estimated that the amount of «iit carried by the Lower Colorado river

in other words that ite affaire cannot be properly looked after by six men.The case is one which should be weighed very carefully.In wealth, population and influence, the townsbip of Stan- stead is something to be proud of, and upon first thought ite dismembering would seem to be a shame.If, however, after cool and careful consideration, the wiser heads should decide that it really is unwieldly and cannot be properly conducted by one council, then perhaps the feeling in favor of the larger and more influentinl municipality may be set aside as a matter of sentiment.Appropo the queation of unwieldlinoss it is interesting to note that the affairs of tlie neighboring Vermont municipality of Derby, to which the smaller town of Salem was annexed some forty years ago, are looked after by a board of three aelect- men (corresponding to our couvcilors) and a road commis-ioner.If, in the townsbip of Stanatead, the question is one of uncqual representation of the different sections, it should be possible to adjust that matter, if not by mutual aureement, then by establishing \u201czones\u201d which would choose and elect their own represeutatives, as do \u2018\u201c\u201cWards\u2019\u2019 in towna and cities.In this onnection the aid of the Legislature could doubtless bd invoked.Unfortunately elections nre not always conducted with the greatest amount of wiadom or fairness, but the big men of Stanstead township should weigh well the question before committing themselves to a policy which might ultimately reduce the corporation to three or four third-rate munic- Jpalities.BALDWIN'S MILLS There was no service in tha Methodist church ou Sunday, Rev.Mr, Gibb not being able to able to attend.Mr.and Mrs.Cheater Drew of Dix- ville, were recent guests of Mr.and Mrs.HH.I.Baldwin.Mrs.W.8.Davis and Miles Addie Aldrich of South Barnston virited their eister, Mrs.M.Martin, lust Wednesday.Mr.Fred May and Misa Marjorie Hall of Rock Island, spent the week- \u2018end with Miss Rose May.Miss Viola Washburn of Conticook spent Sunday with her parents, Mr.and Mra.W.C.Washburn.Mr.and Mrs.Casmer Drew of Stan- stead were visiting at Mr.Lemuel Markwell's, Sunday.Mra.Harold Drew of Barnston and \u2018Mr.Kenneth Drew of East Angus were recent guests of Mr.and Mra, Fred Markwell.WHEN YOU NEED a tonic to help renew the zest of life and that snap that denotes vigor and strength, take SCOTT'S EMULSION Its rich, tonic-nutrient properties can be a large factor in restoring strength and building up the body.| Scott & Bowne, Toronto, Ont.ALSO MAKERS OF: KI-MOIDS (Tablets or Granules) ees INDIGESTION 20-22% WAY'S MILLS Mrs.Martha Clifford has returned from Newport, Vt.Miss Leona Olifford is visiting her sister, Mrs.P.C.Daniels.Mrs.A.E.Ohadeey is at Ayer\u2019s Oliff helping to care for Mr.Norton, who ls ili;

MAN OF DAUNTLESS SPIRIT Captain Arthur Phillip, First Governor of New South Wales, Made Light of Difficulties.History teems with records of great enterprises carried through with courage und strong pwpose.The early settlement of Australia provides a good exumple of this.Cupt.Arthur Phillip, the first gôveruor of New South Wales, unobtrusively set sail from the Isle of Wight, on a May morning in 1787, with 11 ships, mostly ill-equipped, and Ko started, inaus- piclousty, on his 12,000 miles voyage to the Antipodes, \u2019 It was not until elglit months later, that ls on January 26, 1788, that the expedition landed at Sydney cove, sit- uâted inside the world famous Sydney Harbor.The anniversary of this historic lunding Is punctiliously observed throughout the commonwealtli as a public holiday.Captain Philllp, with every conceivable difficulty to face, including unsuitable settlers, great shortage of food and every kind of equipment, yet weuthered the storm.His every report home wus couched in a cheery spirit.Most of the seed wheat and other grain had unfortunately become spolled on the voyage out and things were looking bad.Anticlpations of help were centere« on the Impending arrival of the relief ship which was due early in 1790, but the vessel struck an iceberg near the cape, and the cargo had to go overboard to save the ship, which was then compelled to return to port.This even necessitated the strict rationing of the settlers.In writing home, the governor referred to his desperate situation as \u2018these ittle difficulties which we have encountered.\u201d Such was the man who initiated the settlement of Australia.His attitude toward the natives demonstrated at once his humanity and statesmanship, for he showed them great kindness and did his best to establish friendly relations between them and his settlers.Ultimately the settlement flourished and formed the nucleus of the commonwealth as it is known today, and thus well has Governor Phillip earned the distinction of Leing Included in the roll of honor of the { \u201cMen Who Built the Empire.\u201d BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY In speaking of a person's faulfs, Pray don\u2019t forget your own;

the North, Amsterdumn is notable for two pos- sesglons ubove all others: its old canuls und Îts old pictures, writes E.V.Lucas in \u201cA Wanderer in Holland.\u201d Truly has it been called the Venice of the North; but very different is its somber quictude from the sunny Ital- lan clty among the waters.There is u beauty of galety and a beauty of gravity; and Amsterduin in tts older parts\u2014on the Keizersgrucht and the Heerengracht\u2014has the beauty of gravity.In Venice the canal iw, of course, also the street; gondolas and burcas are continually gliding hither and thither; but in the KeizZersgracht und the Heerengracht the water is little used, One day, however, I watched a cus- termonger steering a boatload of flowers under a bridge and nv words of mine cun describe the loveliness of their reflection.1 remember the incident particularly because flowers are not\u2019 much carried in Hollund, and it Is very pleasant to have this finpres- .sion of theru\u2014this note of happy gal- : ety ip so dark a setting.In the main Amsterdum is à city of | trade, of hurrying busiuess men, of ceaseless clanging trumcars and crowded streets.but on the Keizers- gracht and the Heerengracht you are always certain to find the old essential Dutch gravity and peace.No tide moves the sullen waters of these canals, which are lined with trees that In spring form before the narrow, dark, discreet houses the most delicate green tracery imaginable; and in summer screen them altogether.These houses are for the ost part black and brown, with white window frames, und they rise to a great height, culminating in that curlous stepped gable (with a crane and pulley in it) which \u2018is, to many eyes, the symbol of the city.I know no houses that so keep their secrets.In every one, I doubt not, is furniture worthy of the exterior; old paintings of Dutch gentlemen and gentlewomen, a landscape or two, a girl with a lute old silver wind- 1aills; and plate upon plate of serene blue Delft.Saw First Tobacco Smoke.It was Christopher Columbus who discovered tobacco, and he did it on his first voyuge in 1492, according to a little brochure which George C.Dempsey of Boston, has prepared for distribution among the members of the Algonquin club.Mr, Dempsey's account says: first European to report tobacco, but he suw the natives smoking rolls of it \u2014cigurs\u2014to light which they carried burning brands in their hands.Popular impression makes Sir Walter Raleigh, the discoverer.History discloses the fact that the distinguished nobleman was closely and unfortunately identified with the fragrant herb, but at the same time shows that he did not begin to play his dramatic part on the world's stage till years after the great admiral had quit it.\u201cAt all events tHe \u2018pipe\u2019 is inseparable from our vision of Raleigh, but we know Columbus saw \u2018cignr smoking\u2019 years before him.Unfortunate discoverer, indeed, Columbus found a new continent, and another gave it his name.He discovered smoking, and the name of another is linked to the romance of it.\u201d Indian Rites Dying Out.She Hopi Indians, more than any other tribe, have long-cherished forms, says a correspondent.Still here In the isolation of the gleaming desert and mesa country one may witness still the corn dance, the snake dance and other picturesque ceremonlals which the influence of the white man has us yet little changed.Among all of the Pueblo people there has been preserved much of the old Indian culture.This Is easily understood when one considers the character of the Pueblos.Dwelling in ancestral villages century after century, avoiding war when possible, and in their remote mesa homes resisting even the disintegrating Influence of the white men, these Interesting tribes have preserved some magnificent art, poetry and religious sentiments which are now in danger of extinction, just ns the white student of Indian life is beginning to appreciate their value.Growth of Christian Endeavor.The Christian Endeavor, a young people's society, was originated by Rev, Francia E.Clark, pastor of the Williston Congregational church In Portland, Me.On February 2, 18871, about 50 boys and girls met in the pastor's study and pledged themselves to attend and take some part In a weekly prayer meeting and once a month to hold a consecration meeting.Other duties, soclal, religious, literary, and of various kinds, were assigned to different members.They wet with instant acceptance, and today there are more than 75,000 societies in the United States and Canada and In other lands.Long Train.Fhere were 678,211,004 tons of conl mined in the United States In 1918, saya a correspondent.If all this coal were put into one train of 50-ton cars, this train would

Maintained Against Powerful, Unscrupulous Neighbors.Geneva, the seat of the League of Nations, witnessed some flerce fight- Ing in the days when the duke of Savoy sought to destroy its independence with the ald of a contingent of Spanish troops, These mercenaries tried to rush the defenses at dead of night, but though some of them managed to get into Geneva, not one of them managed to get out again.Those who were not killed In action were afterward beheaded.They stlll preserve at Geneva scaling ladders captured from the Span- fards on that memorable night, together with the caldron out of which a Genevan housewife, who had risen carly to prepare her hushand\u2019s breakfast, poured a deluge of scalding soup on to the heads of the enemy troops.Another relic preserved at Geneva recalls the little band of exiles who worked together there at the trangla- tlon of the Scriptures, known as the Geneva Bible.On the eve of their departure for England they went in a body to the city fathers, who gave them, as the records show, \u201chonorable license to depart, together with a testimonial of the satisfaction we have had In them, and an exhortation to act in thelr turn toward forelgners as we have acted toward them.\u201d Then they all wrote their signatures In the \u201cLivre des Anglais,\u201d or Book of the English.which is carefully trensured in the Geneva archives, Though Geneva for some hundreds of years has been a sovereign republic, much of the architectural beauty of the modern town Is directly due to the generosity of a one-time reigning prince, Charles II, duke of Brunswick- Wolfenbuttel.\u2019 The duke, who was born In 1807, succeeded at an early age to the throne, and governed so arbitrarily and cruel- lily that his subjects appealed to the German diet, which, after some negotiation deposed him and placed his younger hrother on :he throne, After this Duke Charles, who was very wealthy, wandered bout Europe, making Parts his headquarters.On the outhreak of the Franco-Prussian war, fn 1870, he finally settled at Geneva, where he died in 1873.He had been an cxite from his own fand for more than thirty years, and If he ever had had any affection for fit, it had perished during that time; so he constituted the city of Geneva his heir.His will was disputed by his brother and successor, Duke William, who demanded the fanilly Jewels and other treasure.Before the case ame into the courts the duke agreed to compromise, and the clty came in for a legacy worth about four milllon dollars.This sum, or a considerable portion of It, has been spent In beautifying the town, huilding the quays and the elaborate Brunswick monument.Mark Twain as a Typist.Mark Twain appears to have been the first distinguished author to purchase a typewriter,

Discomfited.Lyulph Stanley was an Englishman ' of whomn Lowell said that he \u201cknew three times ns any facts as any young mun whatever had any business to know,\u201d He had hut one rival in that line: Palgrave, who compiled the \u201cGolden Treasury.\u201d Much interest sprang up among their friends when the two went off on a trip together.\u201cIt's an even chance which will return alive,\u201d said one man, solemnly.When they did come back, Palgrave was pale, emaciated, silent; but Stanley, it seemed, was unmoved and more all-knowing than ever, One night, Buckle, the author of \u201cThe History of Civilization,\u201d was laying down the Inw on every subject, with a magnificent pomposity that made the table quake.At last he put fort .some statement about the burning of a witch, nnd set the date a century out of the way.Stanley, who was present, had borne some preceding fnaccuracies very well, with only a slight shaking of the head and a reddening of the face.Suddenly his self-control gave way, and he leaped to his feet.He extended his hand, and piped forth, in a vigorous treble: \u201cI beg your pardon, but the last witch was burned at such-and-such a place, In such-and-such a year, in such- and-such a manner.And her name was so-and-so, and you will find all about it in a book to which I can easily refer you, and about which you | evidently don't know.\u201d Torrents of imprisoned knowledge were thereupon poured on Buckle's head, and the historian of civilization sat wrathful, extinguished, mute.But a little later he had his revenge.Some one mentioned à new dictionary as a good one, \u201cIt 1s,\u201d said Buckle with solemnity.\u201cIt is one of the few dictionaries T have read through with pleasure.\u201d The intimation that he had read any dictionary through with pleasure so astonished the guests that they forgot his past discomfiture in new awe, Noises Made by Elephants.The elephant uses both his trunk and his lungs in calling, and he has a large variety of sounds and combinations of sound with which to express himself, writes Charles Mayer in Asla Magazine.When rushing an enemy he trumpets shrilly, when enraged by wounds he grumbles hoarsely from his throat; he expresses fear by a shrill, brassy trumpet and n roar; and pleasure by a continued low squeaking through his trunk.When apprehensive of danger or when attempting to intimidate an enemy, he raps the end of his trunk smartly on the ground and trumpets.The peculiar noise sounds like that produced by the rolling up of a sheet of tin.In a moment of danger, the elephant coils his trunk to protect ft from in- Jury.When he is engaged in heavy work, such as piling lumber, he may use his trunk to balance the load he is carrying on his tusks, but never to bear part of the burden.If an unharnessed elephant must pull a rope, he holds it in his mouth, taking good care to keep his trunk out of the way.Beetle Hurts Pulp Industry.A gray-green beetle has much to do with the present shortage of paper.The beetle is the adult form of the aspen borer, a grub which often destroys whole plantations of the trees that are so essential to the pulp industry.The bectle gnaws an slot in the bark and deposits one or two eggs therein.From these eggs come the trouble making grubs that gnaw into the heart and sapwood and so riddle the tree that the first strong wind snaps the wenkened timber.Poplar and aspen\u2014hoth fast growing trees, and for this reason very val- unable to manufacturers\u2014are the ob- Jeets of this borer's attacks, The imported Lombardy poplar and the commercial cottonwood of the Mississippi valley are very seldom injured, but all other native varieties are damaged by the grub.In some areas, where poplar and fallen und dying trees exceed 50 per cent of the total stand, Supply of Ostrich Feathers.mn 1914 there were 1,500,000 ostriches in South Africa.These are now reduced to 300,000.Germany and Aus- trin are still out of the

from $9,000,000 to £10,000,000 worth of ostrich feathers, in normal times the world's supply for a year.The United States being practically the only market for the feathers, this country has the say

We've been paying Jack good wages the year around just so we'd be sure we had bim for the summer's work.We've lost most of his la- hor income during the winter months, Our dairy ig small, If we build up a larger dairy it will give ux an opportunity not only to employ Jack's labor at a profit in the winter season, but it will also use up some of our excess horse labor.Simllarly we can plan crops that will require more horse work and less man work.The fundamental information we need has already been obtained for us by the Department of Agricuiture, and à good bit of it is In this bulletin, \u201cThey've studied a large number of farms and calculated to average so a farmer can tell more accurately just the amount of labor he will need to plant, cultivate and harvest any pare ticular crop.For Instance, one eut- ting of hay on the average farm requires a 10-hour day for one man and one horse for each acre.Corn for the silo costs three days of man nhor and tive and one-half of horse work, l'o- tatoes will use up eleven ten-hiour dass of man work to the acre and ten horse days.According to these tables vegetables require ruueh mee an Ithor than horse vor, Onints, Goin.stance.need 1.490 Lours of work Ly a nun and only 100 hours by oo horse to the nerve.Basis for Estimates.\u201cNocuralls.these figures will not fit vers farin-\u2014theyre aveTuge estimates \u2014but they wlll furnish a basis from con- which uny farmer can make his own calculations.The specialists say that careless handling of the labor item is one of the principal influences In reducing farm profits.He paused.\u201cThere\u2019s one thing I'd like to know\u2014 why the Department of Agriculture sent me this bulletin, 1 didn't ask for {t\u2014\u2014lidn\u2019t even know they had it.\u201d The wise old man in the char glanced up at his son with a gleam of merriment in his eyes.\u201cNo, son,\u201d he replied.\u2014but I did.\u201d IT PAYS TO SHELTER ALL FARM EQUIPMENT \u201cYou didn't Winter Is Proper Time for Making Needed Repairs.Careful Inspection of All Implements Shoyld Be Made and Everything Got in Readiness for Farm Operations in Spring.(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Much of the loss and annoyance caused by breakage of farm equipment may be avoided by careful inspection and repalr of weak parts before the season's rush begins, The proper time for making repair is during the winter and at times when the regular farm work is not urgent, specialists of the United States Departinent of Agriculture say.As the season advances, implements which will be needed for the nex! farming operations should be gone over and given any attention required to make them ready for immediate use.If the farm machinery is not properly housed during periods of disuse, it is all the more important that it should he given a careful overhauling, Af ter inspecting the implement, tighten ing bolts, stremgthening weak parts.and renewing broken pieces, the nec: essary painting should he done.Frequent applications of dark metallle paint, consisting either of red lead or venetian red and raw linseed oil, not only improve the appearance of farm implements, but add greatly to thelr durability.This is an age when appearances count, and a farmer's standing in the community frequently is governed by the appearance of his farm equipment, The man who spends his spare moments in the repair of fences and gates and maintaining a neat appegr- ance of the entire farm has n better chance of becoming a leader In his community than the man whose farm has a slovenly appearance.ANALYSIS OF FARM BUSINESS Extensive Studies Have Been Conducted by Department of Agriculture During Past Year.In order to put at the disposal ot farmers information which will enable them to place their

freshened up and then combined.In this way very rich and beautiful effects may be obtalned without a great outlay of money.Take for example an exquisite evening wrap recently launched at Monte Carlo by Cecil Sorel.It was long, almost ankle-length, and it was made of several different materinls\u2014black chantllly lace, silver tissue and rust red satin\u2014the latter used for the lining.In addition to all this there was a shoulder cape, attached to the mantle all round the border, of seal mus- quash, and this cape was cut in van- dykes.Tt geemed as though the lower Wrap With Detachable Cape.purt of the cape depended from a long shoulder yoke, but in reality the cape had been a separate garment, There were two flounces of black chantilly, euch flounce hordered with a narrow band of seal musquash, and there was « high Medicl collar of the same fur.TO REJUVENATE VELVET HATS Headgear May Be Remodeled by Buttonholing Edges Over and Over With Worsted.If your velvet or felt hat shows signs of wear on the edge of the brim, it may be rejuvenated as well as trimmed by buttonholing the edge, over and over.with contrasting or self- colored worsted, The stitches may be close together or far apart, and be shallow or deep according to the damage to he covered and the effect to he gained.A dot from a colored pencil is a good way to Indicate the distance between stitches, the needle pricking through the hat brim in each dot.By taking stitches of gradual length, outliniug points or scallops, ir regular edges are easily worked Each stiteh may he finlshed with 4 bead and a fancy headed pin to correspond used for a hat trimming.By means of this funey stitehery, novel color effects may be introduced into a hat, as henna may he used on black or brown: gray Angorn wool on hlue and white or any color.Use a large.eyed nepdie which will pierce n° suffi- clently large hole to carry the conrse wool, Panels, Panels, Panels! Panels at the sides are also being used, This fad Is especially noted in Mack and white costumes.One house is showing an importation of wide wile white serge or twill handed unl paneled in black satin.Small pearl buttons outline the bandings and hip panels, Panels, by the way, are very chie when used as overtunies, One shop is showing a street gown of nid.night blue serge and black satin, The satin Is used nf a rather clinging un derstip and the serge is the tunie Tt ts about knee length and is ent into deep points of uneven lepcth, Some af the points are edgyed with tiny «lk tassels that flop about most piquantis.a and a change we simply must have, It is all very well to talk of economy and wearing the sane dress for a long period of time, but there is a point where econonly ceuses to be 4 virtue, and that is the point where we do not have u feeling of newness or pleasure In our clothes and where they react upon us and make us feel dowdy and uninteresting.To change from the serges and velours of winter into a frock of sutin or crepe de chine is very re freshing.; An afternoon dress from Jenny developed in taupe sutin of n rather heuvy quality is in the one-side effect which was so much a feature of the autumn mglels, The sleeves are unusual and full length, and the neck is finished with a high standing collar.Thix 1s a good model for spring, and might be developed in any of the shades of brown or in black.Lace Favored in Varied Effects.One of the very newest satin models is in a dull bronze shade with an overdress in redingote style made of hronze crepe georgette embroidered in a leaf and floral design in bronze silk threads.The redingote is open from neck to hem, revealing a tight founda tion of the satin, and is caught at a low waistline with a metallic ribbon which ties in a small bow at the left side.A wide band of brown fur trims the flowing sleeves, which are three- quurters length, The popularity of lace Is likely to continue throughout the summer, at least, and with the vogue for Ince we may expect the continuation of draper- fes and panels.Three-quarter length sleeves of interesting cut are featured In many of the lace frocks, and following this closely are the three-quarter length flowing chiffon sleeves which may appear In a dress made entirely of velvet or satin und be of a strikingly contrasting color, such as one of the new reds in a dress of black satin, A girdle sash may match the sleeves in fabric and color.The vogue for the lace dinner gown is very pronounced.Whereas in the past it was made over satin, velvet or metal cloth furnishes the present-day foundation for a lace gown, effects nre much tiked, Harks Ninety Years Back.A model from Callot is in lace and velvet, The lance Is a black chantilly and the foundation all of green velours de Lyon, The skirt drapery and novel mantlelike wrap are formed by the lace, Such a plentiful use of lace has: lightened for the tine being the work of the embrotderer's needle, for the lace frock takes the place of (he one which is very elaborately ornamented with needlework.With the fashion for pointed panels favored so strongly by Madeleine Vion- net, one of the most authoritative makers of the present day, laces are used, For young girls there are pinafores of Ince over foundations of bright-col- ored brocades or taffetas.In direct opposition to these straight-line frocks are the full-skirted models that Lan- vin, that famous creator of youthful models, brought out In the autumn.They are proving a success for the debutante.These billowing yet filiny nny pointed Jenny Model Developed From Taupe Satin, Having Unusual Sleeves and a High Standing Collar.skirts of tulle that savor strongly of the modes of 1830 fail many inches he- low the short underskirt, The Street Coat, [or the street cont a Cheruit model made on long semi-fitting lines 1s re garded as one equally suitable to this season and for spring wear with the fur collar and cuffs removed.Many women buy a cloth cont at this time with a view to wearing it in the spring when they lay aside thelr fur coats.This model is extremely practical, for ' while cut on smart Hnes, It is not one which may be sald to date itself ; that is, will not look old-fashioned for some time to come.The looped panels at the sides are an important Cheruit feature which she still uses In many different ways on hath eonts and dresses, The sleeves show Mg drooping cuffs of fur, and there is a yoke collar of the fur.Ostrich Toque.The lovely ostrich togues fre quite newitehing when worn over a young face.They are covered with ostrich the flues almost uncurled, quite sof;

The headings are the Chinese author's own: | Conditions Out of Place.A poor Parsee, A sick physician, A fat bride.A teacher who does not know his letters, A graybenrd given to flirting.What One Does Not Despise.When one is hungry\u2014-course victuals.When one is on the tramp\u2014the sorriest nag to ride, When one is thirsty \u2014 cold rice water, Comparisons.A courtler\u2014is like pumpkins, which grow best in the dark.| A crow\u2014is like a fiddler, he makes music when he's hungry.A judge\u2014is like a tiger, never moves but he does some injury.What It Is Better Not to Know.A fiddler had better not know musle, or he will he thrown out of work, A woman had better not know poetry, or she will lose her reputation.A servant had better not know his (letters.or he will get into trouble.| A scholar had better not know any- \"thing about handicrafts, or he will be held in contempt.Vexation.Sitting down to a feast and feeling the stomach ache, Finding the bottle empty midst of a jolly night.Not being able to get rid of one's poor relations, Extreme of Unpleasantness.Blundering upon matters which are tahoo in a friend's house, Meeting a ereditor when one ean\u2019t pay one's debts, Hearing drunken has become sober.Tribulations.To invite a distinguished guest, who falls to come to dinner, To have a disagrecable fellow come on his own Invitation, To be buttonholed by a man, To have no money when things are cheap, To be sented opposite the man you hate.in the babble after one drunken Growing Follies of the Age.Envy, hatred and malice.Invoking the gods when one is drunk, Women clacking about the streets.Mortgaging one's property.Checkers Played by Nile.Checkers Is one of the oldest gnmes played today.Sixteen hundred years before Christ was born the Egyptians {were playing « game along tue Nile that was eksentially our game of i checkers or drafts, as the British prefer to call it.The ancient Greeks had the game with but slight variations, and through all the intervening centuries It has Interested and enter- tafned people.Some now prefer chess, another very old game, clalm- ing that there is more mental work involved; hut the game of checkers, simple as It Is, presents a demand for the use of mental powers quite equal to those of the average person.| That the rules of the game have become very well establisiied f= indicated by the fact that Joshua Sturzes\u2019s , \u201cGuide to the Game of Drafts,\u201d which ;

perhaps we only hear less of It.In motoring through New England and the Central West, one cannot fail to be impressed with the large number of very comfortable vacant houses, most of them of fair size and apparently not badly out of repair, which are found slong the country highways in every state, says H.H, Windsor In Popular Mechanles Magazine.It would seem there must be thousands of these houses.Michigan alone reports 18,- 000 abandoned farms.Thelr dusty windows and grass-grown steps tell the simple but mournful story of neglect.All around are productive fields, often orchards, willing to yield abundance, If only given a little help.They tell the story of the boys and men gone to some clty to work In a factory, One of these days, surfeited with the re lentless grind of the town, many will heed the invitation which now vainly waves to thew from the orchard boughs and, returning, will wonder how the lure of the bright lights could ever have prevalled against the red and gold with which nature paints apples and a summer sunset.Public Interest in Parks.A tendency on the part of the people to ruin extensive landscape projects undertaken by the city at public expense is not wanton Indifference to the finportant part played by the parks in the life of the city, but merely the thoughtlessness of peoplé who As yet have not been disciplined in community responsibility.It is not enough that a city should have a good park system.Tt is essentig! that the system should be In faet the people's, and that each citizen should feel that his share in the ownership links him to the community.If the parks can be made a monument to this cooperative spirit In n° city, then, and not until then, can it he said that they have made the most of their mission.And as long as there are park vandals and citizens who condone park vandallam, tt may be snid that the city is falling to live up to Its parks.-\u2014Indianapolis News.Clean Up the Trash Pile.It matters not whether ve live in ihe city or rural place, there is hound to be some waste, some trash.It 1e the thrifty housewife that keeps after this trash, and does not allow it to become à pile.Gering of all sorts are heed in such a plnee.Rats, mice and weasels seek shelter In it A woman had a fine lot of week-old chicks, In one night the rate killed 50 of them.The vats had been harboring under a pile of old ticks and bonrds, A wensel killet in one night 25 half-grown ehteks, out of n flock of 33, They were worth 7 cents each, the weasel was hiding behind a plle of weeds amd sticks, Flies, fever, and bad odors are the certain outcome of a neglected trash pile.Everybody ought to keep busy keeping ctean- -Thrife Magazine.BAD HABITS CROW Successive Stages in Husband's Carelessness.Especially Is He Apt to Be Thoughtless of His Wife's Comfort as the Years Advartce.Man is a careless creature by nature and displays it In the stages of his life when he should be tnost careful.Perhaps his carelessness is only visible in its most aggravating form to his women folk.The imputatiop that it Is a constant vice would be resented, because a man, while he may grow more careful as he grows older in matters affecting his work, his health, possibly his appearance, fails to observe, self- centered creature as he is, that a careless attitude has arisen and be- \"come u habit in Wis married life.Before marriage a man's every effort is to please the woman; afterward, to please himself, writes Lady de krece.in the Paris Mail.There comes a time\u2014some people call it the danger year\u2014when cigars, clubs and company are first consideration with a man.He makes appointments and then tells his wife, where once he consulted his wife, and then made appointments.Carelessness, that is all.But his wife, whose thoughts are at times vividly retrospective, 1s wounded on each and every occasion.\u2018The blatant carelessness of the breakfast newspaper once started develops from @rst hasty glimpses at the news to grim, masticating silences.A husband becomes careless in his hours, careless In hls caresses,.careless in all bis attentions to his wife.Some men become careless about their clothes, particularly In the house, Anything will do for the house.That Is an added slight to his wife and a flattery to himself.He implies that she is not worth the price of a pew tle, or the donning of a collar, and that his own personality is potent against the effect of the baggl- est of trousers, Men never quite lose the little traits that marked them in their courtship days.They will still show a hundred and one little politenesses and considerations\u2014but to other women than their wives.The effort to continue for years the same attentions to the one woman is too much for the average man.Where once he hastened to recover a fallen ball of wool he now allows his wife to carry the coal upstairs.Yet his manners outside bis home may stil] be up to his old standard.New High-Speed Generator.The so-called Blomquist steam generator, lately put in operation In a Gothenburg mill, Is described us a radically new type of high-speed steam generator.It is a boiler consisting of 11 pressed steel cylipders 12 inches in diameter and 8 feet in heated length, and these are rotated on ball bear- fngs at the rate of 375 revolutions per minute.Feed water Is injected at one end, the steam being taken out at the other.Centrifugal action spreads the water over the entire inner surface of the tubes, and the temperature of the steel is sald to be thus kept below 300 degrees Centigrade.The capacity is 13,000 pounds of steam per hour at 50 atmospheres or 740 pounds per square inch, It is suggested that this severator may be added to increase the pressure In plants already established, and lo provide steam for high pressure turbines.Telephone Fluctuation.A chart representing the telephone business of the average day shows that from midnight to 6 a.m.business is small and getting smaller: then as the retail stores and other early\u201d businesses begin to shake off their slumbers it starts to mount.As offices open and clear for the day's action the rate of increase gets faster and faster, until in the one hour between nine and 10 the calls are three times as numerous as during the 60 minutes immediately preceding.As the day's business gets into full swing, with everybody at work, calls continue to increase, though at a much less alarming pace; and the peak-load for the day Is car- rted by the hour between 10 and 11, with 428000 calls in New York City.Generals of United States Army, Following are the six American gen- erhls: Ulysses 8S.Grant, Philip H, Sheridan, William Tecumseh Sherman, Tasker H.Bliss (emergency), l\u2019eyton C.March (emergency) and John J.Pershing.Pershing was made a full general September 3, 1919.He was in command of the American expeditionary forces, There are two lieutenant generals in the army\u2014Hunter Liggett and Robert L.Bullard\u2014and five major gener.als\u2014Leonard Wood, John F.Morrison, Charles G.Morton, William L.Sibert and Henry G.Sharpe.His First Shoes at 74.JT, Cartman of Sodus, N.Y.al- thouzh seventy-four, bas just houzht his first palr of shoes.He has worn baots all his Ufe nnd still wants to but.seureh ns he may, he can find none for sale in any of the metghhor- tng cities.She Is Displeased.\u201cNo\u201d sntd the movie actress, \u201cvou do not really admire me,\u201d \u201cHaven't 1 lauded your perfections fn many letters?\" \u201cYes, but my press agent turns out better stuff on a mere salary.\u201d eter ee HELPED TO CREATE NATION Men of the Pony Express and the Over.{and Stage Deserve Place on History's Page.There recently died In Los Angeles, Wiillum Gooding, reputed to be the lust of the famous pony express rlders, The present generation knows lit- tie nhout those pioneer times and the wonderful way news was carried across the continent during the ten years immediately prior to the hulld- Ing of the Union and Southern Pacific Ines, which met at Promontory Doin, Utah, in 1868.Mail and newspapers took from a mouth to fifty days to cross the continent prior to thé establishment of the pony express, which begun [ts service April 16, 1839, reducing the time to ten days.Iteluy stations with change of mounts were established at short distances;
