The Gazette

THE WEEKLY PRESS THE influence of Oriental ideas is more evident in our millinery styles than for many a year. The dresser turbans for evening wear appear to be pieces of rich fabric draped about the head and fastened with gorgeous looking ornaments of mock jewels. Gold and silver tissue and jeweled bands are used in these. For day wear turbans made on larger frames show crowns in handsome fabrics, such as heavy brocades, tapestries and gold or silver tissues. Tinsel nets are draped over silk nets or lace. Nothing is more popular for the brims or "coronets" than bands of fur. This is, in fact, the furriest of seasons. Fur bands appear about the bottoms of handsome gowns for street or visiting and on the filimet of fabrics for evening wear. Lace hats with collars of rich fur and hats of all descriptions share with the gowns the smart touch of fur. For less turbans of v that can be best results velvet is "panne" v The latter than good Fancy feen sen for thei It takes a velvet to m parallel shi to the frame wire or of should be a cinoline. Fabric hats, satis, tries, figure various desi the play for vet holds s Few Deft Touches Will Frequently Give Garment an Entirely Different Appearance. Often you will see real bargains in frocks and blouses on the ready-made counter. Do not give one look at the cheap lace or trimming, or at the way the seams are finished, and throw it back. Buy your bargain, take it home and redeem and regenerate it. Cheap lace can be replaced by good; dainty tulle or net frills can take the place of cheap ruffles; seams can be restitched and coarse embroidery worked over by hand. If the material and the cut justify your buying the garment at all, you can give it an individual touch that will raise the value of your bargain 75 per cent. And even where there is nothing noticeably cheap or common about the garment, try to give those, little extra touches; then you will be in no danger of meeting your new gown on another woman at the next street corner. USEFUL DRESSING JACKET Of cream flannel, finished at the edges with blanket stitch in old rose silk, and threaded with satin ribbon in same shade. This is a very easy pattern for the home dressmaker. The most economical and satisfactory way of obtaining a hand-embroidered shirtwaist is to purchase a ready-made waist with machine embroidered design and work over the embroidery by hand, thus saving stamping, padding and making the waist. A blouse embroidered in this way will deceive the most expert needlewoman. Improving a Blouse. For less expensive millinery the turban of velvet is the most effective that can be chosen. In order to get best results, a good quality of plain velvet is selected or one of the "panne" velvets in good colorings. The latter are a little less expensive than good quality in plain velvets. Fancy feathers and wings are chosen for their decoration. It takes about a yard and a half of velvet to make a turban. Rows of parallel shirring confine the velvet to the frame, which may be either of wire or of buckram. A soft crown should be supported by a lining of crinoline. Fabric hats are much in evidence. Silks, satins, velvets, brocades, tapestries, figured ribbons and colors of various descriptions, all are cast in the play for winter millinery, but velvet holds sway in the star part. Slipper Case or Sewing Bag Both Welcome and Serviceable Present. A slipper case and a sewing bag are delightful holiday gifts, which are easily made and very useful to the receiver. They may be made from any stray pieces of bright-colored silk, linen, chintz, satin, denim or, in fact, any material of that kind; or, if desired, the slipper case may be developed in pink-flowered cretonne bound with dark-green braid. The loosely gathered sewing bag has an outside flap, which contains the needle hook, and a pretty fancy is to embroider the owner's initials on the outside of the flap. Fancy brass rings are sewed to the upper edge, through which is run the ribbon which regulates the fullness about the top, and is used to hang it up by. The slipper case, which is divided into compartments and stiffened by means of cardboard interlining, requires seven-eighths yard of material 22 inches wide or five-eighths yard 36 inches wide; either with $2\frac{1}{4}$ yards of tape to bind and two hangers. The sewing bag needs $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards or more inches wide, with $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards of braid and seven rings. Parisian women have taken with en- thusiasm to the new knitted caps of chenille, mostly in red and other bright colors, very flat, and untrimmed. These are warm, light and pretty, and will be much worn this winter for skating, etc., and as traveling caps. The idea originated with a little girl who sold dolls' caps of this sort at the Paris races. Men Like Simplicity of Face. How many well-meaning housewives make the mistake in their over-zealous hospitality to furnish men guests with elaborate dishes, when simple, well-prepared foods would please the men so much more! Any hostess who will bear this face in mind will not only save trouble, expense and time, but will also please her masculine guests to a greater extent. Sash for Slender Figure. The slender woman who cannot wear the too narrow girdle should try the sash with the "pump" or obi brow, worn in front, its folds arranged in perfectly flat loops and the whole of stiff, wide ribbon. The effect is most becoming and very easy to wear, besides extremely fashionable. From garments that have been laid aside, cut the strip, containing the buttonholes, leaving enough material to turn under. Use this strip as a "fly" to new garments, thereby saving both time and labor. Chenille Canz To Save Trouble. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25,1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

Texan Advertises for 4,000 Settlers Promises to Furnish Expert Teachers, Seed, and Tools for New York. Manager Copeland Townsend of the Imperial, is trying to figure out whether Theodore Hook, the practical joker, who almost a century ago sent half the tradesmen of London to the houses of modest citizens, with wagons and drays, bearing everything from hairpins to planes, has not come to life in the person of a man, who described himself on the register of the hotel as "O. L. Williams, of Texas." Mountaintime George Burrell, the room clerk, and Adam Lauder, the Scotch lord who presides over the information desk, are growing gray telling inquirers that Mr. Williams has left the hotel; that they know nothing about the 4,000 five acre farms in Texas which Mr. Williams says he is giving away. Letters and notes accumulate by the stack every day, and citizens of every origin under the sun and would-be citizens who have been here only a week are making the lobby of the Imperial look at times like Ellis. Island just after a ship from Launah has discharged its human cargo. Mr. Williams arrived at the Imperial on October 27 and took a modest $2 room. After a few days, he was changed to a large room and bath, and then he notified some of the papers that he was in town and had some news. He paid his bill about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the day before the story appeared and has not since been seen. When he left he gave the address of a little town in the extreme north of Texas near the Oklahoma line. In an interview with Mr. Williams which appeared last Saturday, he was described as the representative of an alliance of commercial and industrial organizations and boards of trade and said he wanted to find 4,000 young men who were not afraid to work. "Our association," he said, "will give each a deed to a five acre farm and expert farmers will teach him agricul- Observed in Chicago Chinatown by by Consumption of More Than Ton of Saccharine Article. Chicago.—"Sugar-cane" day was observed in Chicago Chinatown the other day by the consumption of more than a ton of the saccharine article, which is the Chinese favorite confection. When the first shipment of cane arrived from New Orleans every Chinamau in town came to Clark street to gorge himself on the sweet stalks. In some of the stores where cane was sold there were contests among the gourmands as to which could eat the most. "Chinamau seldom eat candy," said Frank Woy, the mayor of Chinatown, "but I never know one who wasn't crazy about sugar cane. "Chinamau have a weakness for chocolate ice cream soda, perfumed soap, sugar cane and having, their photographs taken. It is nothing unusual to see a Chinaman buy perfumed soap at 25 and 50 cents a cake. Some of them take a trunkful of it back to China when they go on a visit." Fat Policeman Quilts Kansas City, Mo.—Herman Hartman, who weighs 305 pounds, quits the local police force the other day because he became too fat on his job. "When I joined the force five years ago I weighed 260 pounds," said Hartman. "Rewardless of my efforts to keep down to my normal weight I put on flesh. I am turning in my club and star and am going into the Ozarks, where I can train down." One Hartman's duties was to attend drill squall meetings. He quit just in time to miss one. EUGENIE TO SELL PROPERTY ture, horticulture and the art of get-ing enormous crops from the Texas soil and not only land, but a four room cottage with each five acres, without a dollar of expense. "Besides, we will furnish teams, tools, seeds and other equipment for working the land, supply provisions, medical attendance and library facilities for one year free. The title to the homes and lands is to be permanent." Inquiries for Mr. Williams started coming to the hotel early Saturday morning. The earliest corners seemed, according to the clerks, to be just the kind of colonists Mr. Williams said he was seeking, young men of American birth. Some of the local foreign papers copied the story Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and the result was that a steady stream has been pouring into the Imperial lobby over since, and then out. One caller was a long-whiskered man, from the lower east side. He said he wanted a farm. He was told there was none in the hotel just then. "Who has the farm for you," asked the clerk. "Willyums," was the reply. "He's in Texas," said the clerk. "Here is dot?" "On the railroad." "Den I got a ticket," and he was directed to a railroad office down the street. Two young Italians came in. One could speak English, the other could not. The first said that he had been scurrying about among his friends and had got a colony of fifty young men, including a doctor, who were prepared to accept the farms and go to Texas immediately provided Mr. Williams would add the railway fare to other allurements held out. First Aerial Stowaway Berlin. A workman of the name of Hase has achieved the distinction of becoming the world's first stowaway on an airship. Impelled by a longing to experience flight through the air Hase crept under a tarpaulin covering the benzine tank of the Parseval VI, which ascended here bound for Kell. He crawled out in the course of the voyage and apologized for his presence. Former Empress to Convert Estates Into Cash to Save Prince Victor Napoleon Worry. Paris—Ex-Empress Eugenie, who is now in her eighty-fifth year, is selling all her property in the country over which she once held away, in order that Prince Victor Napoleon, who was married the other day to Princess Clementine of Belgium, may have no difficulty in gaining possession of all that belongs to her after she passes away. It is an open secret that she intends making her nephew, the imperial claimant to the throne of France, the principal heir to her great wealth, which has been estimated as high as $30,000,000. To relieve him of a repetition of those long drawn out and costly legal proceedings which worried her so much, forty years ago, when the newly formed French republic wanted to keep all the fallen emperor's domains, she wants to turn her landed properties in France into cash now, and leave him money. Among the estates is that of the famous Solferino palace, in the south of France. That former imperial residence was to have gone under the hammer here recently, but the sale has been postponed, owing to a difference of opinion over the minimum sum which should be accepted. The exempress does not want to part with the palace for less than $120,000, but that is considered excessive by her lawyers in view of the dilapidated condition of the chateau. Solferino was built less than half a century ago to commemorate a celebrated French victory in the war Little Honey Gatherers Capture Grocery Store, Driving Proprietor and Customers Out. Troy, N. Y.-E. J. Bouchard, a grocer of Cohoes, had an exciting time with a swarm of bees in his store. Mr. Bouchard had on hand 100 pounds of honey and was attracted to the rear of his place by the continual buzzing. Several customers were in the store, and the grocer excused himself until he investigated. He was greatly surprised to see the great swarm flitting about his honey stock, and for a few minutes watched them come in and go out through a small hole in the rear window. When Bouchard endeavored to drive the bees away they retaliated, and succeeded not only in driving back the grocer, but in clearing the customers out as well. The grocer was obliged to resort to a smoking process to drive out his unwelcome visitors, and after they had gone he found that all but one or two of his boxes of honey remained untouched. The bees had evidently been working some time and were buzzing their approval at the completion of the job when the grocer's attention was attracted. COW MOOSE IS QUITE TAME Wanders Far From Usual Haunts of Big Game in Cobbosseecontee Lake Region of Maine. Kennebec, Me.—A lone cow moose far away from the usual haunts of the big game animals, has for some time frequented the Cobbosseecontee lake region of Maline. Deer are occasionally seen in that part of the state, which is in Kennebec county, about half a dozen, miles west from Hallowell, Gardiner and Augusta. Cow moose are perpetually protected, and not being legal game they have increased in recent years far in excess of the bulls. When not molested they become very tame and will walk into a farm yard just to mingle with the cows or join them in the pastures, where the moose seeks out any delectable browse that trees or shrubs may happen to offer. Harvard Man Given Medal London-For his researches on the determination of atomic weight the Royal society has awarded the Davy medal to T. W. Richards, professor of chemistry at Harvard. of 1866. Originally in a bleak part of the sparsely populated department of the Midi, a whole village has since sprung into being around its walls. The emperor was hardly ever in residence there, and all its fittings and furniture were long ago taken away. CONTINUES SMOKING AT 98 Venerable Pennsylvania Woman Declares Tobacco is Helpful to Her—Pleasing Pastime. Earlville, Pa.—In Amity township, that gave America the early ancestors of Abraham Lincoln and Nance Hanks and sent Daniel Boone to the Kentucky borders, there was a gathering in honor of Berks county's most remarkable living woman, Mrs. Sallie Shirey. She celebrated her ninety-eighth birthday, and five hundred other Berks countians helped to make the event a happy one for this venerable woman, who had reared twelve children to manhood and to womanhood. She could hardly believe that she was so near the one hundred-year mark, and said it seemed but yesterday when she saw some of her sons go to the Civil war to fight for their country. Five generations were present and saw her light, her old clay pipe, for smoking is her pleasantest pastime. To the use of tobacco and frugal living she attributes her longevity.

He or his orchestra has been teaching ever since) a boys' band and a ladies' band which have consolidated and are making excellent progress. On New Year's eve, the Union, known as Local No. 550, A. F. of M., under bandmaster Jackson's direction, will give a concert at Teunonia St., and have the assistance of other union musicians of the city. Prof. J. E. Cutter of Western Reserve University lectured on "Lynching as a National Crime," at Mt. Zion church Sunday afternoon. He advocates an amendment to the U. S. constitution and says that Lynching would be vastly decreased if the federal government could intervene during times of mass incarceration. The U.S. constitution prohibits the national government's usurping the rights of any individual state; hence it is a waste of time to advocate such an amendment. Continuing Prof. Cutter said: "Since 1882 there have been 3,700 persons lynched in this country. In all these cases of mob rule less than 50 men have been sent to jail for defying the laws of the United States; the victims are Negroes and the balance" white men. Lynching is not confined to the southern states, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana in come for their share of mob violence. Occasionally in the western countries on the face of the earth does this crime prevail as in the United States. Foreign governments have always favored the law of lawlessness. In the circumstances has always favored mob rule. The alleged race question and the civil war encouraged Lynching to a great extent. Then again, there has been a dearth of legal machinery for the law into their hands because the community and the lynchings predominate hold that the statistics "a life-for a life," is held from 50 to 150 lynchings annually in this country. Foreign nations have frequently asked the payment of indemnity for the murder of their citizens by lawless Americans. No less than $480,000 has been paid to the United States government. The United States does not seem to know that Ohio has an effective Anti-Lynching law, enacted in 1896 after a three years struggle on the part of the editor of The Gazette, and that Illinois has copied that law. Before our Ohio Mob Violence law, in the three years preceding 1896, there were more lynchings and mob violence attempts than there were in the years following 1896—to date. Lynching in this state has been stopped to the minimum. It would not harm some of these local lecturers on "Lynching" to post themselves better before appearing before local Afro-Americans at least. That is one subject we are pretty familiar with. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1910 MRS.

We Grew Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours With WHENCE CAME THE BIG BOULDERS ONE ERRATIC SUPERIMPOSED ON ANOTHER Church Built By Women W HENEVER your vacation rambles have taken you to one of the northern states of the country, you have no doubt often been struck by the sight of some unusually large, bowlers perched on the top of a mountain, or resting, may be, in such a nicely balanced position by the very edge of the sea that a dashing wave may rock it to and fro, writes G. N. Collins in the National Geographic Magazine. Examine one of these bowlers more closely and you will find several things to distinguish it from others that you may have noticed in other parts of the country. Should the rock on which the bowler lies be bare of soil, it will often be found to be of a different kind than that of which the bowler is composed. Thus the bowler itself may be of granite and rest on a surface of limestone, shale or sandstone. You will also often find this bare rock polished to a remarkable degree, or marred by scratches, and even deep grooves running in a more or less parallel direction, known as glacial striae. To understand how a block of gran- ONE ERRATIC ANOTHER it as large as a small cabin could be lodged on top of a mountain when there is no similar rock within a hundred miles or more, we must trace its history back to a time at least 200,000 years ago, when the geologic period called the tertiary was drawing to its close. The first fact to attract our attention, could we have taken a bird'seye view of the northern part of our continent at that time, would be its greater extent than at present. Looking eastward we would see the shoreline extending in places a hundred miles beyond the shoreline of today, and in vain would we scan for the islands, bays and reaches that now lend such enchantment to our picturesque coast. Northward the land probably stretched unbroken over the present arctic archipelago, and connected on the east by way of Greenland, Iceland and the Scandinavian peninsula with Europe and on the west by closing of Bering strait with Asia. This circumstance had a very important bearing on the fauna of that day, as it enabled the animals from the one continent to cross to the other. Making a closer inspection of the landscape beneath, us, we would be surprised at the total absence of the smaller lakes that now are its most characteristic feature. Even the great lakes were missing, with the possible exception of Lake Superior, while in the valleys in which these latter now lie flowed rivers belonging to one or more systems. The mountain groups of today we would recognize at once, notwithstanding their somewhat more rugged outline, and the same would be true in the case of the rivers. While we would see a number of them in strange courses, the master streams we would know at first glance. For millions of years these had been cutting their channels undisturbed, until at the close of the tertiary a new impetus was imparted to them, owing to the recent rise of land and the ever-increasing humidity of the climate. So we would probably see their turbulent and swollen and the sides of their water courses often precipitous and lagged, overhung in places by great ledges and loose blocks readily dislodged by the least force. The climate over the whole continent was semitropical, or at least temperate, and such plants as the big and great red woods of California grew as far north as Greenland and Iceland. And through the almost endless woods of the north roamed herds of maiden and other herbivore of great size, together with such beasts of prey as the new extinct saber-toothed tiger. But we find no trace of man. Over this strange and magnificent world the ice swept down so suddenly, as geologic time is reckoned, that most of the then existing animal and plant forms, pushed south before its advance, had not time enough to adapt themselves to their new environment, and therefore became greatly altered or exterminated. As yet there has been no good reason assigned for a change that in a comparatively short time transformed the semitropical climate into that of Greenland of today. Probably a combination of circumstances brought it about. One of the sights of Jersey City, across the river from New York, is a group of women who are laboriously building a church. They are doing the actual work themselves after their day's household duties are over. Men are lending a helping hand, but they are merely carrying the hods, and occasionally give instructions to the women. The building is almost up to the top of the first story. Mrs. Sarah XS Be that as it may, the fact remains that over certain centers—one on the east of Hudson bay, the Labradorian; another on the west of it, the Keewattin, and a third in the Canadian rockies, the Cordillaran—snow, gradually changing into ice, accumulated year after year in such immense thicknesses that finally, impelled by its own weight, motion began, and three giant glaciers crept out over the adjacent country. These finally joined into a continental ice mass that at its greatest extent covered two-thirds of North America—an area of about 4,000,000 square miles. While there may have been some Advice to Aspirants Suppose you become an English peer and are naturally anxious to find out exactly what personal rights and privileges your new station gives, you will have to give your secretary a month or so to hunt through rows of duo-covered volumes. And even then you will not know one-half of them. Lots of them are obsolete indeed. They have not been repealed, however, and, if you wish to take advantage of every privilege that your new rank gives you you will find plenty of opportunities. If you are unfortunate enough to be condemned to death, for instance, you can demand a noose of silk. If you are bald, and shy of displaying your infirmity, you are at liberty to keep on your hat when in a court of justice, a privilege that not even the prime minister enjoys—except, of course, when he happens to be a peer. Every time parliament reopens you are allowed by royal charter, if your way to the house leads through one of the royal deer parks, to kill and, if you wish it, carry away one or two deer. When returning home you may do the same again. There is only one condition. You must, when entering the park, give the royal foresters notice of your intention by sounding your hunting horn. If a commoner so far forgets himself, for reasons of his own, as to punch your head, you have the privilege of hailing him before the criminal courts as one guilty of the crime of showing contempt for the whole house of parliament. And before he leaves the Old Bailey he will be very, very sorry. If, on the other hand, it is you who so far forget yourself as to punch the commoner's head, he can summons you, just as he would anyone else, at the police court. But if, when you are there, you breathe out threatenings and slaughter against him, and tell him exactly what you will do to him when you get him outside, you can do so for as long as you please. The magistrate has no power to bind you over to keep the peace, or commit you for contempt of court, one of which things he would certainly do if your name did not appear on the register of the house of lords. But these are not the only advantages your rank gives you in the courts. If you are concerned in a chancery case and have to appear in the witness box, your word would, if you wished it, be taken as equivalent to another man's oath. If anyone uses personal violence to your coach- Earle, a thin, grey-haired woman, who is in charge of the construction, states that the new Apostolic church, of which she is the minister, will differ from others inasmuch as the sect will accept the Biblical doctrines and admonitions literally. Therefore, they were building the church on the faith that the Lord would supply the materials, while required workers gave their services. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1910. BOULDER HEAR MEGLUNTICOOK LAKE, MAIN. difference in time at which the various ice centers reached their greatest development, we will be very nearly the truth in saying that from the southern limit, shown on the mar, northward the ice lay in one unbroken expanse, with the exception of the so- called driftless area and possibly one of the highest mountain peaks in the east. It is calculated that its thick- ness at the two eastern centers must have been something like 5,000 to 10, 000 feet. On its way from the north the ice mass gathered to itself immense quan- tities of soil and loose rock which were carried along with it. Occasionally huge blocks of rock from mountain slopes and stream bottoms were clutched in the firm grip of the ice and carted for hundreds of miles. Frequently the ice would lift great bowls from the bottom of a valley to the top of a mountain. Presently the ice began to retreat before a more congenial climate. It was not at first, however, a steady retreat, as not less than four times the ice again advanced after having almost vanished, and each time it was followed by animals and plants adapted to the semifrigid climate at its edge. During one of these interglacial epochs man appeared upon the scene. But as the ice melted and disappeared the earth and rocks which it carried were dumped, sometimes as an even mantle, but more often in hills and ridges. man or your footman you can get very heavy penalties against him in the courts: You cannot be arrested except for an indictable offense. For any offense less serious you can, of course, be summoned to appear. 'But the policeman is not allowed to use in your case his usual efficient method of making sure that people do actually appear. If the offense is serious, however, you can be arrested in the ordinary way. Then you can claim to be tried by a jury of your fellow peers. If a society paper gossips about you in a way you do not like, the proprietors are guilty of the crime of "scandalum magnatum," and you should find it easy to make them regret that ever they were born. Lastly, you need not buy stamps for your letters unless you like. Peers are still entitled to use the old method of "franking" letters. But your friends would not bless you when they received letters with only your private. mark instead of a stamp. The postman would probably camp out on the doorstep till he had that two pence. Though the privilege of "franking" still exists, theoretically, for peers, the business-like postoffice would probably refuse to recognize it—Stray Stories. Care of Children's Teeth The Lancet, in a strong plea for better care of the teeth of English children, which, it says, "is a matter of the first importance to the country" declares that "tooth brush drill is of little value when carried out during school hours; to be of value it must be carried out at the proper times, the most important of all being the last thing before going to rest." This medical authority thinks, also, that "a well organized crusade throughout the country on the importance of the teeth and the technique of their proper care would be followed in a generation by an immense improvement in the health of the nation, and, from the point of view of the combatant services, by an enormous decrease in the percentage of recruits rejected for defective teeth."

Former Republic Asked to Care for Missouri Home and Tomb of Famous Pioneer Who Made Possible Its Founding. Potosi, Mo.—Washington county officials have recently appealed to Texas state officials to arrange for that commonwealth to care for the grave and home of Moses Austin in this city. Moses Austin was father of Stephen F. Austin, honored as the father of Texas: As truly as Stephen F. Austin was the father of the former republic and the late state, Moses Austin was his grandfather, for he did the preliminary work, made the treaty and planned the colony that made possible the work of his son as founder of the republic: It is believed here that the recent removal of the body of Stephen F. Austin from a lonely grave in a Texas village to a state-built tomb in the capital city that was named for him, and the memorial services in several cities, will afford sufficient interest in the Austin family to result in arrangements being made to care for the almost dismantled tomb and the decaying log cabin here. The cabin stands on one corner of the public square of this city. It is all that is left of the once pretentious Durham Hall, Moses Austin's early day home. At the time of the Loulhans purchase there was no more elaborate private estate in the whole Mississippi valley than Durham Hall, where the owner entertained such notable men as Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson and Thomas H. Benton. Moses Austin, under a grant from the Spanish government, opened the first lead mines and built the first lead smelter in Missouri. He was at the head of the first bank established in St. Louis and was a member of the first Masonite settlement period. He conceived the idea of settling Texas with Americans, and it was under a treaty negotiated by him with the Mexican government that the first American colony was established Austin and His Home. In Texas. The consummation of these plans necessated an overland trip from Potosí to San Antonio, the hardships of which resulted in the death of the projector. Stephen F. Austin continued the work of his father, led the American colony into the southwest wilderness and helped the Texans to establish a republic. Moses Austin's body lies in a rickety, weed-covered tomb in the Presbyterian churchyard, not a block distant from the log cabin. A marble slab, not more than 18 inches square, set in a rustle tumb of hand-hewn rock, bears this simple inscription: DIED 1820. When the condition of the tomb was called to the attention of Washington county officials, it was their opinion that Texas residents would be pleased to have the tomb cared for, hence the letter to a state official stu- ing its condition. Had Cost England Many Millions. London,—Hiramard Russell, the Assyrian scholar and explorer, whose cruel treatment by King Theodore involved England in a $44,000,000 war with Abyssinia, which ended in the arcade of the African ruler, died a few days ago in the English village of Hove, where he had been many years in peaceful retirement. He was born in northern Mesopotamia, opposite the site of the ancient Nineveh, and went to England early in life, becoming connected with the British museum. In June, 1864, after having held a British political position at Aden, at the Indian ocean end of the Red sea, he took charge of the English mission to King Theodore of Abyssinia; who had imprisoned and maltreated the British consul and several other Europeans. He demanded the release of the prisoners. At first he was treated with consideration, but afterward he and two of his companions were shut up in the fortress of Magdala and were kept there almost two years in chains. They suffered from misery, cold and hunger, and were in constant fear of death. When Great Britain sent to Abyssinia a punitive expedition under Lord Mappar, King Theodore shot himself to death to avoid the humiliation of capture. New Products From Sugar New Products From Sugar. Berlin—Until very recently the molasses residuum from the manufacture of beet sugar in Germany was considered worthless, but now several valuable by-products are obtained. One is a 97.7 per cent alcohol for medicinal and chemical purposes—produced by distillation, with a second quality denatured for fuel and light. There still remains a thicker and darker molasses, resembling pine tar in appearance, and from this residue, after a variety of processes of somewhat dangerous nature, there is extracted potassium cyanide, besides several other by-products of commercial value. Verses and Dramatis have been Written by This London Seller of Chocolates. London. Outside office hours business man of London have a wonderful and cheap method of absorbing culture. There is stationed on Lothbury, a street just behind the Bank of England, a paragon of learning, with whom anyone desiring to improve his French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek or English may converse by buying a penny worth of chocolate. William Shepperly, a street seller of sweets, is a learned linguist. He was not always a hawker; that is obvious at a first encounter. His French he acquired as a part of the Shepperly, the Scholar Hawker. educational course at a Beigli college, where the English boys were found, almost to the full amount of their pocket money. If they, spoke their native tongue. From Belgium Sheperly passed to Spain, and there, in the town of San Juan de Laz, where he was engaged as a correspondence clerk, he acquired a knowledge of Spanish. Latin and Greek were a part of his school curriculum, and Italian came to him by study. From his butch wife he acquired some facility in the language of Holland. Seven years ago Sheperly found himself, no longer a young man, out of employment, at the end of his resources and with no prospect of obtaining work. His wife and three young children were dependent on him, and he purchased a large tray, stocked It with chocolates, and took up a corner in the city. He has remained in Lothbury ever since, and would not change his way of living except for something absolutely permanent. Satisfied with an occupation that procures him a living, he has his books and his pen for intellectual companionship. Every morning he gets up at three o'clock in order to read and write for some hours before taking up his stand on the street. He has written four one-net and two four-net society plays, one of which has been highly praised by a London manager and a provincial manager. His library is small, but select; it includes a fine copy of "Oedipus Tyrannus," in the original; an ancient copy of Horace is another treasure. At present Blaise is his deduction; he tells that he occasionally indulges in such "light Literature." Among modern authors, Carlyle is his favorite and Meredith comes next. IS A HAVEN FOR AMERICANS Washington. Within the next 50 years Porto Rico will be occupied exclusively by American millionaires, according to the opinion of Alfred Zeyas, a resident of San Juan, who says that Americans already are awakening to the picturesqueness of the island, its climatic inducements, and its generally healthy conditions. "The wealthier people of America are gradually realizing what a great acquisition the island is to the United States. Americans are looking for places of beauty and rest. They are seeking places where they can get away from the ordinary, and for this reason I say," continued Mr. Zeyas, "Porto Rico will eventually be designated as the mecca of America's rich. Here they can motor through miles of mountains, where the scenery equals that of any part of Switzerland. The country is threaded with miles of good roads, the majority of which are macadamized. "When the automobilell reaches certain altitudes in the center of Porto Rico he can look to all slides of him, and view the sea. Not only is the 'scenery of the island ideal, but the climate is that of perpetual spring. Not once in the last decade have we experienced a storm which has caused material damage. This moderate temperature, coupled with the salt breezes, makes the climate exuberating. American tourists already are visiting Porto Rico in large numbers during the winter months." Growth of Sugar Beet Industry. Lincoln, Neb., A few years ago a great deal was sold about growing beets in the United States and the industry was supposed to have a great future. During the last eight or ten years sugar beets have dropped out of the public mind, but it is quite evident they have not dropped out of the mind of the farmer or of the sugar refiner. The consumption of sugar in this country last year totaled 7,500,000,000 pounds, or nearly 82 pounds for every man, woman and child: Of this amount the sugar cane fields supplied 750,000,000 pounds, while the beet fields supplied 1,025,000,000 pounds. Ten years ago, in 1899,1900, the beet sugar production was only 75,000,000 pounds. It has grown to 15 times that amount in ten years. Until 1907 the quantity of cane sugar produced in the United States exceeded that of beet sugar. In 1907 the beet sugar production amounted to 967,000,000 pounds, and the cane sugar's highest mark was 829,000,000 pounds in 1909. OUR MIGRANT BIRDS Emigrants of the Air That Go on Annual Itineraries. Alaskan Hawk, Which Makes Prodigious Journeys from Top to Bottom of the Hemisphere—The Mysterious Chimney Swift. Chicago—No theory yet advanced by ornithologists accounts for the migration of birds. Why does the Alaskan hawk quit his home in the Arctic regions and journey with such mighty toll through the torrid zone to reach the Antarctic ice fields, only to return in a little while over the same route to the starting point, spending his whole life in the repetition of these prodigious but apparently useless journeys back and forth from one end of the earth to the other. We know more about the forces at play in the solar system than we know about the impulses of the migratory bird; we know, more Hilley's comes than we know of the forces that impel the flight of the Alaskan hawk or the golden plover. The golden plover is one of the most remarkable travelers in the bird kingdom. The plover passes northward in May to its breeding site around the north pole. The eggs are laid on a cake of ice in June and six weeks later the old bird and the chicks start south. They loiter along slowly until they reach Labrador, where they make a stand for some weeks feasting on crow berries and becoming very fat. Suddenly all the plovers in Labrador rise as by signal and make for the sea. The route is now over the broad Atlantic 400 miles from land, southward to the Bermudas, over the Gulf, through Venezuela and Brazil, across the entire The Alaskan Hawk. continent of South America to far off Patagonia. The journey completed the weary, emaciated travelers rest for two weeks before-starting upon the return trip. The long and terrife voyage over the sea is exhaustive to the last degree. But the plover lives ten or even twenty years, moving perpetually, and in the course of a lifetime may travel 200,000 miles; a record which few species can equal. Nature has made the bird the greatest travelers in the universe. The chimney swift, perhaps the most numerous of bird species and the most universally 'distributed over the earth, goes south from our latitude in September and for some weeks swifts are plentiful over the Gulf states, where they congregate seemingly for some great purpose. They are seen there by the millions and millions. Suddenly they all disappear and no mortal man knows whither they go. The winter destination of the chimney swift has ever been one of the most The Chimney switt. perplexing puzzles of ornithology. Some of the old authorities surmised that these mysterious birds retreated into the soft mud at the bottom of ponds, lakes and streams. Later authorities say they disappear upward. The swift reappears as mysteriously as he disappears: Hawks and vultures collect in the upper air and when a large congregation has assembled they move off silently and malefactually at a great altitude and we see them no more until next spring, when they return one at a time, without any parade or spectacular performance. Many kinds of birds skulk and hide for days before leaving for the south and then they leave at night. Contrasted, with this apparent wanderlust of birds is the homing instinct of some birds and animals, the carrier pigeon and the horse for notable instances. Perhaps the homing instinct is the overpowering sentiment in all bird wanderers. Some strange necessity drives them away from the nest site, but each and all return as though prompted by an intense patriotic attachment to the place of their birth. Our human kind is less faithful to the home sentiment than are the migrant birds. Who of us would return year after year over long distances to visit the scenes of childhood, knowing well the transitory nature of each visit? 2232 We illustrate a very charming Russian suit. Both back and front are entirely plain and the front has an opening at the left side for buttons and buttonholes or hooks and eyes, as the maker may prefer. The small sleeves are on the bishop order and are gathered into a narrow cuff. The trousers are in knickerbocker style, gathered on elastic bands at the knees. The outline of the neck and the side opening and also the cuff can be made somewhat ornamental by the use of braid contrasting with the color of the material used for the body of the garment. Dark blue may have white or black braid or even gilt. White may be trimmed with light green, gold or silver, and so on. Suitable materials are serge, chevot, brilliantine, poplin, plique, and linen. The pattern (2232) is cut in sizes 2 to 7 years. To make the suit in the medium size will require 15 yards of material 14 inches wide. To prune this pattern send 19 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper. Write name and address plaintly, and be sure to save a copy and number of pattern. GIRL DOLL'S SET.

Mrs. Recentmarrie--I'm sorry, John, but I used only three shells, the number the recipe calls for. Mr. Recentmarrie--The number the recipe calls for. Mrs. Recentmarrie--Yes, John, the recipe says to use the "whites of three eggs." Not Bored. "You always take your vacation the last of all," remarked the visitor. "Yes," replied the tall bookkeeper, "it prefer to be last." "Why so?" "Because when the rest return I get away before they begin to tell about their vacations." Scant Pasturage. "I am afraid the mills will get it to my bathing suit," said Maude. "It would be a shame," replied Marme. "The poor things would starve to death."
