Few American Negroes In London, "There are a few American negroes in London," says a New York Sun correspondent, "but most of the race in England are young men from the British colonies who are studying law or medicine or taking regular collegiate courses. In the library at Lincoln inn, one of the noted inns of court or law schools of London, every man ennounced in London when correspondent was there the other day was a negro." Exponent of Economy. A widely known Republican was saked if he was for a certain candidate for governor, and he answered: "No; I don't want to waste him. The situation is like an event in a Dublin theater. Some fellow had made a disturbance in the gallery, and the cry was raised, 'Throw him over: Throw him over!' Thereupon a solemn-looking man rose from his seat and impressively shouted: 'Hold on! Don't waste him! Kill a fiddler with him.'" —Everybody's Magazine. As to the Coln.

It's just a record of so many dollars and cents. And the more dollars and cents you've spent on your voice the better your voice is. "That doesn't mean, either," she went on, "that it's all a matter of training. If I should take a hundred lessons at $1 a lesson I'd be considered just about one-third as advanced and proficient in vocalizing as I should be if I'd take a hundred lessons at $3 a lesson." "Why this pessimistic mood?" inquired the man who was sitting near. "I'm not pessimistic," replied the girl, calmly. "I've just discovered another truth. You try it and you'll see. With the piano or the violin it's different. While I grant that with them dollars and cents count a lot, still, if you can play the keys and the notes the same, people will listen to you, and, perhaps, enjoy the playing—but with vocal music everything depends on the money cost. There seems to be a quality in the tone, or something that tells people just who your teacher is and what you pay for your lessons—and you get complimented accordingly." The Chocolate Plant. The chocolate plant is a native of America. When first introduced into Europe chocolate was used only as a luxury, but it speedily advanced in popular esteem. It is now cultivated in countries far from its original home. The chocolate plant, as well as tea and coffee, has been cultivated from time immemorial. Chocolate as a beverage rapidly made its way in Europe, beginning in Spain, whither it was first brought—Harper's Weekly. Turning the World Over.

Muskogee, Oklahoma.—Sheriff John L. Wisner of Muskogee county has just obtained definite information that a conspiracy exists on the part of negro bootleggers who are operating on the Iron Mountain railroad between Fort Smith, Ark., and Muskogee, to kill every field deputy on the sheriff's force. The deputy sheriffs have been armed with riot guns and instructed to take no chances. This action follows half a dozen encounters between negro bootleggers coming in from Fort Smith with whisky and officers, the latter having been fired upon repeatedly when they attempted to make arrests. Several bootleggers have been killed. The sheriff is satisfied the negro bootleggers are acting under instructions from one wholesale dealer who has not only armed the negroes, but instructed them to kill the field deputies in order, if possible, to stop the vigorous efforts being made to catch and prosecute the illicit liquor importers. The sheriff received word from Fort Smith that 12 negro bootleggers were leaving there on an Iron Mountain train for Muskogee. He placed guards at the Arkansas river bridges, expecting to catch the men as they crossed. But they got off at Haute and crossed the river in skiffs that were waiting for them. All of them had whisky. Judge R. E. Campbell of the federel court has just held that federal prohibition enforcement officers have the right to enter a man's house or place of business without a warrant and search for liquor.

Plague Infectious and Dangerous— Experts Suggest Methods of Prevention. ing horses by the hundreds in western Kansas. Expert veterinarians at the Kansas agricultural college announced that finding after a careful study. The bacteriologist has discovered a gorm-which causes the disease and is similar to the one which causes human meningitis. "It is our opinion," said Dr. R. R. Dykstra, "that diseased animals contaminate the food and water supply. Basing our conclusions on these findings, we made the following recommendations for the prevention of the disease. "Remove all litter and rubbish from the barnyard and mangers. Thoroughly scrub out all water buckets, troughs and tanks. Thoroughly disinfect all these premises and containers. "Remove all horses from their acustomed feeding or grazing places and place them in the disinfected corral and barns. Feed them green corn fodder, green silage, and oil cake meal, or any food that has a laxative action. Every time the horse is watered, from one-half to one teaspoonful of permanganate of potash should be put in each bucketful of water. Horses should be kept away from diseased animals, and all articles or places that have come in direct contact with these animals should be immediately disinfected. All water buckets and other utensils used for sick horses should be kept away from healthy animals. These measures should be thoroughly carried out as half hearted attempts are useless."

MOTOR BANDITS BUSY IN KANSAS Robbers Chase Automobile Party a Mile in Unsuccessful Holdup Near Iola. Iola, Kansas.—Motor car highwaymen are a new source of terror to night motorists, according to the police.

Police Captain Delaossa, who had refused to resign, has been separted from the service by order of his government.

HOT TEMPER AND PRIDE Cupid's Messengers Weld Broken Links of Love. By ARTHUR WALLACE PEACH. Buenemer was sorry for them, and he hastened to shut the door of his flat lest he hear too much. As he went back to his favorite chair and pipe he looked across to where his wife was busy peeling potatoes. "Too bad, too bad they have to quarrel, and they haven't been married for three months yet. But it's the way; they have to learn that one must give up a little to the other. We learned, didn't me, eh?" "Ah, yes, but you was pig-headed enough," his wife answered, smiling at him. "This young Lawton," he went on, "has a hot temper, I should say, while his wife hasn't, but she's got pride; I know him, but I don't know her. You know her?" "Yes, she's nothing more than a girl, kind of prideful, too. There'll be trouble before they understand." There was the sound of a door banged sharply and loudly across the hall, and the pound of heavy shoes going downstairs. The two looked at each other soberly. "Gone away mad," Buemer sald, "an' all the mornin' he'll be wishin' he hadn't." "An' she's cryin' because she didn't kiss him an' say it would be all right," his wife said, smiling tenderly at him. "There's trouble there. I wonder how it will end." His wife shook her head. "For the best, let's hope. Dye s'pose I could do anything? "Go in an' see; she likes you, an' a wee bit of good advice might do good," he urged. But she demurred. She would go later. They heard the girl go downstairs, and after a short absence return. "Too bad, too bad," he said, shaking his head, "with her bright girlish ways—happy ways—to have to learn that lce isn't everything." Then, noting the smile on his wife's face; "Until it gets wisdom." Just before the noon hour, the door opened and she looked in. Her face was small and oval, her hair a bright gold, her eyes usually happy. But this time she was not smiling, and Buemer could see that she was making an earnest effort to cover what was in her mind and heart. "Mr. Buemer." she said hurriedly, "when—when—Mr. Lawton returns—if he should ask where I am—just tell him—I have gone." With that she closed the door, leaving Buemer staring in astonishment at his wife, who was staring back. "She's gone!" he exclaimed, "what! happen!" His wife sat down abruptly. "I didn't suppose—But there was a man waiting in the hall—an' he went with her—Joseph!" Trouble was a foot; of that there was no doubt; and Buemer dreaded the part he must play. A little after the whistles had blown, they heard quick steps come up the stairs and go into the opposite flat. There was a sound of a hurried call, then silence, then a knock on their door, and in the young fellow came. His face was flushed and hot. "Say, Buemer, seen my wife anywhere?" he asked hurriedly. "Why, yes, lad, I did," he said. "Where is she?" the other asked nervously. "Er—er—she looked in to say that—she wanted me to tell you she had gone." The young fellow dropped into a chair as if his strength had suddenly forsaken him. The blood vanished from his face, leaving it white and drawn. "Gone!" he repeated, dully. "It's just what I deserved—just what I deserved. I kicked up a fuss this morning over nothing; an' I've thought of it every minute since. So she's gone!" Buerem was touched at the misery in the young face. "P'rhaps she's just gone out for a little visit," he said hopefully. Lawton shook his head. "No, she said she'd go. There was another fellow she said was always kind to her. Say, did some one come for her?" he demanded suddenly, sitting up rigidly. Buerem saw no way out, so he nodded. "There! it's come. I knew it—an" God knows it's my fault!" Lawton sprang up, a look of desperation on his face that frightened Buemer. "Hold on, boy," he said swiftly, a sudden idea flaming into his mind, "don't do anything too quick, now. This fellow was old enough to be her father, I guess." Lawton turned, slowly but eagerly. "Then—perhaps—" "I should say it was her uncle or some one, and he had come for her." "Was he a chap with gray hair, rather fat?" the other asked. Buemer smoked a moment. "Yes, as far as I could see—I'd say so." There was a gasp from the other room, but Buemer paid no attention, and neither did Lawton. His face had eased. "That's just who it was. The little witch! It doesn't seem as though she'd leave me, for we do love each other. But I've got a devil of a temper; and it needs a process of training; and you bet I got it this morning thinking about it. I guess I'll go right over to her uncle's." He looked at his watch, and his face fell. "No, I can't, either; it's too near shop time. Ain't that rotten? If I don't show up there, I lose my job. But you're sure it was her uncle?" Buemer squirmed and nodded. "Thank God! Won't I be good to her when she gets back—just watch!" He was gone, and barely out of the door, when Mrs. Buemer came in, her face horrified. "Why, Joseph Buemer! what a terrible liar you are! that fellow was young and handsome, and not fat. Now what'll you do?" she asked fearfully. "To tell the truth—I don't know; but I said I guess'—didn't I? So it wa'n a whole lie. But I've go to do something." He laid his pipe down. "But what it'll be I don't know." "Say, have you any idea where her uncle does live?" he asked. She looked puzzled, then answered: "Why, yes, Joseph; but what's that—" "Never mind. If she told you ever, tell me?" "She mentioned once his living over on Western avenue, corner Marsh." "Good! Then I'll go see him, an' see what can be done." "But," his wife objected, "you see, she went with a young fellow—I saw him, even if you didn't." "Well, her uncle may tell me where she is, and I'll see her and tell her how he feels, and try to get her back." "You'll have a big job, Joseph. No woman is coming back that way." "A woman who loves will. If she don't, it's better she don't. But I'll see. If I don't fix it, he'll kill himself sure. I saw it on his face at first." A long ride on the electrics brought him to Western avenue and the corner of Marsh street, where he aligited and sought out her uncle, James McBride. He opened the door in answer to a hearty "Come in!" and looked into the face of McBride himself. Instinctively Buemer recognized that the man was one of his own kind, and he went on to tell the story. As he did so, the smile faded from his broad face; leaving it sober. "I see, I see, Mr. Buemer, an' I'm sorry. I kinda thought that somethin' might come up. Lawton is too hot-headed, though a dandy fellow at heart. But she isn't here. Now, where can she be? It doesn't seem—yet if she was stirred up she might go off with young Blaire. We'll look him up. Come on!" "I tell you we've got to hustle; Lawton gets through work at 6 o'clock. We can't find young Blaire, and I'll bet he's taken her-" "No, I won't believe it; she wouldn't go away with him. She might think of it, but she's true blue after her pride gets down a little. Perhaps"—his eyes brightened—"she may have landed at my place while we were away." McBride threw open the door, and called to his wife. In answer a figure seemed to fly from the other room, a bright-haired figure, into McBride's mouth. "Thank God, little girl—it's you!" he cried. "Oh, uncle!" Then she proceeded to tell him in words that poured from her heart—a story of hurt pride, anger, of a rash message sent to Blaire, of her going with him, then the realization that she did love Lawton more than "anybody else in the world," of her leaving Blaire and coming to him, but not finding him, and wanting to know what to do. "Do—you foolish little girl? You hustle right back with Buemer, have the flat all bright, get up some kind of a supper—tell him that you love him, and forget," her uncle answered. A few minutes later Buemer and his charge were hurrying back to the tenement. When they reached it, and he had lit her lamps, and everything was bright and cheerful, she looked at the clock. "Oh, I won't have time to get supper—what shall I do?" She turned to him. Mrs. Buemer spoke up. "You and James come in with us for supper. Hark! Come, Joseph." They backed out hastily, but Buemer looked back in time to see the young fellow pause on his threshold, then gather the form that came to him in his arms. Catching Hummingbirds. Just catch a few! We were weeks in catching even one. For more than a year, at odd moments, we tried. Many methods were used: insect nets, bird lime, a spray of water, open windows with flowers inside, and, finally, a trap. At last! Could it really be? I hardly dared trust my senses. Yes—it was a humming bird squeak that came from the little bag, and the boy asked if I was the lady who would pay a dollar for a hummingbird. It must be! How had he caught it? Under his cap! How strange! And had it a ruby throat? He wasn't sure. Well, we could find out. Doors were closed and locked, and screens carefully placed in every window. Then the wonderful bag was cautiously opened. Way down in the bottom crouched the dear, funny little bird, with his bright eyes looking us straight in the face and his long bill pointing at a sharp angle from the wee body. Just a baby one. Would he die of fright? He did not attempt to fly out, so we tore open the side of the bag down to where he sat; but he did not move. Then, placing my finger gently under his toes, and lifting slowly, I beheld the jewel upon my hand.-Katherine E. Dolbear, in Atlantic Monthly. The Exception.

His weekly letter, due on Thursday morning, was not at her plate when she came down to breakfast. She ran through her mall hurriedly, an unpleasant suspicion chilling her heart. "What does Tom write? Is it time for one of those—those roundups he told us about when he was here?" "I don't know, mother. There's no letter from him this morning." "The poor boy must be ill. I'll have your father telegraph at once." have your father telegraph at once." "I would rather you wouldn't do that—not just yet. The mail may be late." "Late? It is a strange thing that it has never been late before, in three or four years. I think of Tom Marshall as one of my own children. His mother was my best friend, and she would appreciate my interest if she were alive today." "Not when you have a marriageable daughter," said Anne smiling. In the privacy of her own room, an hour later, she read again his last letter. "If you don't object, Anne," it ran. "I would like to read bits of your letter dated the twenties to a little girl out here. She is a pretty little thing and often helps me pass away time. Your letters are gems, fragrant with my old life, and I would like her to hear a part of the one I mentioned." Anne looked up over her desk where his picture had hung ever since she came home from school. He had been a student in the great university near her own college. When he was graduated he had gone west to a ranch owned by his father. He was determined to make good in the world as a man. "I want to be a man's man, Anne," he had told her, "not a weakling. I don't want to stay in the east and be pushed by dad's friends and have to frequent pink teas and dinner parties. I am going to get away from the people who know me so that I will be forced to stand or fall on my own resources." He had found the west, robbed of its glamour of romance and adventure, to be the very place to test his strength and ability. Discouraged A "No," She Said Quietly, many times, yet always manfully brave, he succeeded in carving out a future for himself as he had dreamed. Weeks went by, then months, and still Anne had no word from him. She had answered his last letter promptly assuring him of no objection in case he still cared to read parts of her letter to a stranger. Months added to months made a year of silence. Then Anne went away with her mother to the mountains. A few days after she left home her father telegraphed her that Tom Marshall had appeared and wanted to see her. "Don't tell where we are," she answered, and settled down to enjoy the courtship of Standfield Meyers, who had followed her to the mountains and who offered balm for her wounded pride. One evening as she swayed with young Meyers to the music in the ballroom of the hotel she saw Tom Marshall standing in the entrance, his eyes fixed on her. She nodded pleasantly, much as she would have done to any casual acquaintance. The music stopped when she was near a door across the room. She hurried into the darkness, and pleading a headache to her partner, went directly down the long veranda, through a French window and so galned the elevator without encountering Marshall. A night's rest, she reflected, would fit her for the ordeal of meeting his wife. Her father's letter that day stated that Marshall had with him a beautiful young woman whom he had heard called Mrs. Marshall. Anne was conscious of the gossip over the bridge tables and embroidery frames as she started out for a tramp with Meyers the next morning. The engagement of the two would be announced at the beginning of the season in town, the marriage to take place the following spring, so one declared. Anne was glad that such a story was abroad. Marshall would be sure to hear it and so realize how title she really cared for him. Later. down by Deep Rock springs. Stand field Meyers demanded his final answer. "Leave me alone now," she urged "I want to think it over before I answer you positively." And so it was that she sat there chin in hand, elbow on knee, looking out across the valley basking in the sunlight, Marshall came upon her She could not quite keep the gladness out of her eyes as she looked up and saw him, stalwart and strong, with his youthful dreams still in his brown eyes. "It is great to be back in the mountains, Anne. You look today just as you did that morning up at old Chester when I went to stammer goodbye to you. I was such a kid. Remember?" Anne tossed the petals of a wild rose on the clear little stream that flowed from Deep Rock. "No," she said, quietly. "That was a long time ago." "What's the matter with your memory, Anne? You've changed. I couldn't sleep last night for thinking that you left the ballroom after seeing me without coming to welcome me. You meant home to me. That's why I followed you to the mountains." "You don't know how hard it is to speak to anybody when Standfield is around." "Standfield Meyers? What has he to do with your attitude to your old friends?" "I am going to marry him." Anne wondered why her voice did not quiver with her heart. Without a word he turned and started down the path. "Tom," questioned Anne, a tiny pulse hammering in her throat. "Tom, won't you wish me joy?" He came back then, his hand out the old brave smile of his youth lighting his face. "I was a beast, Anne, dear. Of course I wish you joy. It knocked me over a bit to hear the news. I was selfish, thinking only of my own loss. You see, I have always—foilshily, of course—believed that you were mine. It has never occurred to me that any man could take you away from me." "Oh," cried Anne, "you mustn't talk to me like that. What would your wife think 'if she heard?'" "My what?" "Your wife. You wrote me about a girl you said was very pretty. You wanted to read one of my letters to her, and when you didn't answer my letter—" "Didn't answer? I wrote to you four or five times while I was hurt." "Hurt?" cried Anne, in alarm. "Oh, Tom, how?" "Pony bucked with me and I unfortunately got mixed up with a machine that happened to be passing. The boys hurried me off to St. Joseph's hospital, where they patched up one shoulder and an arm until they are as good as now." All the mother's solicitude deep in the heart of every woman for the only man, although he may be her senior by many years, showed in Anne's eager, tender questioning. "Why didn't you let me know, Tom? Mother and I would have gone to you. Haven't you always known that I would do anything for you?" "All but the greatest thing, Anne, the giving of yourself." "Aren't you married, Tom?" "No, I never wanted any woman but you. My brother and his wife met me and came on to meet you, but you had-gone. I absolutely held your father up and demanded to know where you were." "I haven't answered Standfield yet, Tom. It would be a crime to marry anybody but you. My pride was hurt—" "You'll have to marry me now, today," said Marshall, his arms about her. "Then we'll go west and shoot up the town until I find out what became of our letters." "All's well that ends well," laughed the girl happily, while a mocking bird broke into a melody of silver song somewhere in the young green branches overhead. (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) Professional Instinct. Some of the newspaper correspondents have to work without pause at conventions, grinding out interminable strings of copy for transmission by telegraph. On such occasions it is not uncommon for four or five who are friendly to each other to form combinations and exchange reports. The simplest way to do this is to have each writer make carbon copies of his day's work. Five weary correspondents were occupying one room in Michigan avenue, and four of them had keeled out on beds, while the fifth continued to pound his mill. "What are you writing?" asked one of them, after a while. "A letter to my wife." "Give us carbons," yelled the four in chorus.—The Argonaut. Banana Flour. Banana flour, especially prepared as a tonic food is making its appearance in Paris under the name of bananeine. It is to be remarked that within a recent period this fruit was but little used in France, and even now its consumption is limited. However, measures are being taken to increase the importation, and it is said that 70 vessels were recently fitted up for bringing the fruit to Europe. Banana flour has a much more extended use in England than on the continent, but efforts are now made to introduce it in France, owing to its great nutritional value. The bananeine is a preparation 60 per cent. of banana flour, this being put through a sterilizing process at the proper heat. THE WINDS OF DESTINY Fate in Letter Carried Away by Breeze. By MARTHA M'CULLOCH-WILLIAMS. Winds of destiny there are—they may be hurricane strong—they may be no more than the idlest ruffling zephyrs. Yet strong or gentle, they do their allotted task Milcent was as wilful as any wind could be. She was elected to write letters up in the tree house, though knowing well it was meant only for the children. There were five of them—four boys and a girl more tomboyish than her brothers or any of her three cousins. Milcent's namesake, and, after a sort, copy, she presumed, a bit upon her position. Milcent, the elder, felt really noble in not hating her replica. Until the little girl came she had been the only young woman in the family, by consequence the special delight of her two tall, handsome brothera. Family love was very strong with all the Ashtons. Roger and Rex, twins, it appeared, simply could not live apart. The mansion house was Roger's-eldest by half an hour—but there was room and to spare in it for Rex and his household, no less Millicent. Mrs. Roger and Mrs. Rex indeed had vied with their husbands in spoiling her. It spoke volumes all round that though she had come to twenty-two, single, and more than ever a creature of caprice, her womenkind so adored her they inspected possible suitors with the nicest care. Notwithstanding they played favorites. Witness the letter under Milcent's left hand. It was to Em Sayre, who came near being her conscience keeper. After an inconsequent beginning she had come to the nub of things, thus: "Please, m'm, can't you, won't you, find me a sweetheart with a real name—say Smith, or Jones, or even Murphy? Otherwise—but hear the fatak truth. Susan has pitched upon Warner Bugg, esquire, for my future hisband. Anne is as hot for one John Stubbs. I say plague on both names—because the names are all I can find fault with. "Warner is a paladin, plus a million or so, John a man—the sort dogs and children take to without knowing a reason. Incidentally, also, he has A "There Was Fate In It, Milly." money, and brains. And I can reach out my hand and take him if I will. But think of going through life Milcent Stubbs! Think, also, alternatively, of being a mother of Buggs! "You will be saying: 'There are others!' Only too true, honey—one other in particular. No—his name is neither Montmorency, nor Talbot-Peyton—I loathe that sort of appellation even more than Bugg or Stubbs. But really family names of that sort deserve to be extinguished. That would leave room for—well! say the Roysters. There's a name for you—good fellowship in every letter—" Heer the sheet was full—Milicent reached for a fresh one. As her hand lifted from the paper a tricky gust whipped it away, out and up over the treetops, whirling it beyond view so swiftly she could not guess the direction. But that did not disturb her—it would most likely fall in the millpond or the deeps of the big woods. Anyway, since it had neither date nor signature, nothing could be made of it, in the event of it being read. Smiling, yet half sighing, she began another sheet; yet, after a sentence, shut her desk, and climbed nimbly down the rope ladder. From her perch she had espied visitors—Warner Bugg and John Stubbs, to be exact. She did not want to see either, just then, it was evident she must run away, and go a fishing. Half an hour later her canoe was drifting on the mill pond's silver face, what time she made believe to be absorbed in her floats, Rex junior, Roger's eldest, a lad of twelve, sat facing her. They were sworn comrades. "Shucks! I won't never tell. Not nobody—even mother," he was saying stoutly, then a little wistfully, "but Milly—old Jack Stubbs is to give me a real horse when he's my uncle—and you know how I hate piles—" "I know," Millicent interrupted, holding up a silencing hand. Her float had gone under with a rush—some fish of degree must have swallowed hook line and sinker. She braced herself for a long pull, a game fight—suddenly the line slacked—there came swimming to the surface the ugliest big snapping turtle she had ever seen. Rex, all agog, struck at it with his paddle—Milicent cried a warning, but too late. Before she knew it the canoe was upset—she and the lad floundering in water, sunwarmed and slow-moving, but twenty feet deep. She did not fear the water since she swam well. "The snapping turtle was her terror—it was still on the surface—swimming hither and yon, though it had bitten itself free of the tackle. It was huge and evidently fighting mad—she had heard weird tales from the black people of such creatures, fully angered, dragging one to the depths, holding one there to drown and later feasting like ghouls. Terror stricken, she made toward the bank. Suddenly she found herself caught by a snag, a submerged trunk, brought down by the spring floods. Rex was going from her, with short quick strokes—she had hadden him to do it, knowing herself the stronger swimmer. Faint with fear, her call to him was little more than a whisper. But even while she uttered it another canoe shot toward her from the shade on the other shore. The rower was tall and goodly, stripped to his shirt and trousers, and evidently a master of watercraft. Almost before she knew it Milicent had been drawn into his canoe. Without speaking, he snatched up a rifle and sent a bullet into the snapping turtle's head. As the bulk of it vanished he turned to Milicent, saying with a long breath: "I doubt if you were really in danger, but that is the most satisfactory shot I ever fired." Milicent sat up very suddenly and very straight. In the bottom of the canoe lay a letter sheet—her own letter, wind-borne to this man of all men. Frank Royster saw her flush crimson, thereby he knew she had seen. For a minute he was silent, rowing hard toward the Ashton shore—the millpond sets bounds betwixt Ashton land and that of the Delanys, which would some day be his own. Suddenly he dropped his paddle to reach for Milicent's hands, and holding them close in his own, said tenderly: "There was a fate in it, Milly; I read your letter unwittingly when it dropped out of heaven. Otherwise, I should lack courage—those others can give you so much more—" "Courage? For what?" Milicent intergrunted He smiled at her and put an audacious arm about her dripping shoulders, as he said: "Oh, just to rather than see you a m willing to make you a And Milneart, the wilful, only finished and murmured, nestling to him: "You were always so kind." copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) MEDICINE OF THE LONG AGO Ancient Papyrus Shows that the Art of Healing Has for Centuries Been Well Recognized. The most ancient medical work now existing is the Ebers papyrus, secured in 1873 by Prof. George Ebers from a native of Luxor, in Upper Egypt. It is generally assumed that it was written about 1550 B. C., but refers in some sections to methods and medicines prescribed as far back as 3700 B. C., 5,612 years ago. Among the 108 sections or chapters of this papyrus, chapter 103 begins: "Beginning of the book about the uxedu in all the members of a person, such as was found in a writing under the feet of the god Anubis, in the city of Letopolis; it was brought to his majesty, Usaphais, king of Upper and Lower Egypt." Usaphais is said to have been the fifth king of the first dynasty, reigning about 3700 B. C., and it is hard to say how long previous to this finding the sage had lived who first compiled the chapter or used the cures recorded. Page 72 contains three dental prescriptions "against the throbbing of the bennut blisters in the teeth" and "to strengthen the flesh" (gums), and is supposed to refer to the small abscesses known as gumbolls. The first, a poulice, consisted of equal parts of "septra-gains" dough, honey and oil; the second, a mass to be chewed, equal parts of fennel seed, dough, anest plant, honey, incense and water; and a third, also to be chewed, has no less than eleven parts of "dam plant," anest plant, incense, ama-a plant, man plant, saffron, aloe wood, annek plant, cyperus, onion and water." Another chapter contains eleven dental recipes, some to be chewed, others to be rubbed on the teeth or applied as a paste, and on another page among remedies for various skin diseases there are three prescriptions for diseases of the teeth, but there are no special references to any branch of dental surgery—"Nobility of Trades—The Dentist," Charles Winslow Hall, in National Magazine. Mother Was Puzzled. A man from his office, downtown, called his wife by telephone the other morning and during the conversation asked what the baby was doing. "She is crying her eyes out," replied the mother. "What about?" "I don't know whether it is because she has eaten too many strawberries or because she wants more." replied the discouraged mother. "I am anapolis News BROUGHT TO TIME By JEANNE O. LOIZEAUX. Orpha did not lift her eyes from her embroidery, but she was all ears to Mrs. Healy's chatter. That lady rocked, did complicated Irish crochet—and gossiped, each performance perfect of its kind, and a refutation of the adage that only one thing at a time can be done well! Orpha's sister had left her to entertain her guest for an hour on the wide, vine-covered veranda, with its rugs, tea table, easy chairs and other paraphernalia of summer idleness, and the girl found her duty best performed by a system of listening. The young matron had discussed fashion, the lake society, the latest novel, and finally launched into a running commentary on love affairs. Safe herself in the haven of a happy marriage, she considered herself a judge of storms on life's sea, and wise unto the matrimonial salvation of all who would accept her advice. Mrs. Healy swung a pretty tan pump below her narrow skirt, and audibly considered the case of Rose Danison and George Saint. "They've been engaged forever, and nobody knows why they don't marry and be out of their misery! I say it is her fault that he doesn't insist on her choosin gthe day. She makes him too content as he is. A man has to be brought to time occasionally. He gets too complacent, too sure of a girl, and needs to be waked up. She ought to make him jealous, or go abroad a year, or even break the engagement! Instead, she waits ten years and acquires a patient look and great sweetness of character, and some day, being only an average man, he will prefer mere pink cheeks, bright eyes and impatience! Don't you think so?" Orpha lifted her dark head, and her calm eyes rested a moment on the plump little matron, glad that her secret was safely hidden in her own heart, and that people could not thus discuss her and Stanley Long. For the first time she was glad that she and Stan were not engaged, though she was as she had been all summer, miserable because he neither declared N. She Saw Stanley. his love nor went away. Mrs. Healy, being a stranger, of course knew nothing about Stanley, and the girl hoped her natural reserve had kept it from her own world. "Don't you think so?" persisted the older woman. Orpha rose in her deliberate way, folding her embroidery, and stood, tall and slender in the dying light of afternoon. Unnoticed by them Steve, the young man of the house, had sprawled along to the rose-wreathed railing, and was listening quizzically to the girl's answer. "I—hardly think I do," said Orpha. "I don't see how a girl with any self-respect could purposely make the man—she cares for—jealous, or send him away when she doesn't mean it, or pretend to leave just to see if he will follow. It doesn't seem sincere, somehow. If a man does not care enough to say so, that's one thing. But he might have a real reason, and she might trust him. If she doesn't trust him, she couldn't love him, anyway, could she? Perhaps, Rose and George don't tell everybody all their secrets? Perhaps she is patient because she—understands? It might be like that, you know." She suddenly saw her nephew, only five years her junior, and blushed deeply. Wise with his twenty years, he regarded the girl with favor. "Good for you, auntie! You've got sense! A fellow would hate to be brought to time like that, if he had any self-respect and—" "If he knew what was being done to him, which he never does," finished Mrs. Healy, with her ripple of a laugh. "You are two solemn, sentimental children, and know nothing whatever about love. Just you wait, Steve; and as for you, Orpha—" Steve's mother came along just then, taking off her gloves and dropping into the first chair, regarding first her son and then her sister with favor. "As for Orpha," she said, "she is a dear, and I'm glad she's here for her vacation, and since she is, I want her to go out to the lake and see the sunset. She loves it, and she looks a little scienn. You might go along, Steve." The boy bowed with mock ceremony to his mother. "I'm not wanted. Auntie loves her own company. Besides, it makes me feel like a silly little boy to be nephew to a girl pretty that everybody turns to look at her. If she wants me to follow as a bodyguard I'll go—" Orpha, already on the way, laughed him to scorn over her shoulder. "No, I don't want you. You're too young and silly! Besides—" "Besides, she has other fish to fry, mother. She is not the only sunset-lover that dawdles about the cliffs of a summer's evening! Most romantic, I call it!" She sied his impudence, her sister and Mrs. Healy, and took refuge across the garden, down the path through the woods toward the pretty lake. This time she hoped Stanley would not be there. She wished that she herself did not know she loved him before he had in words declared his love for her. Sure at heart of him, she wondered wistfully at his silence, her maidly dignity up in arms the while. As she straightened back to the brisk lake breeze, striding off on her lilth, healthy fashion, her mind reverted to Mrs. Healy and her talk, which she hated. The girl's nobility rose high and above subterfuge and strategm. She would never help a man with his wooing, nor hurry him, by word or act, or even by thought. If love were less than free and spontaneous, it was not real love, and she would have none of it. Then at the turn of a cliff she saw Stanley, and it came to her that, unasked, she was going to meet him. It was a little like showing her heart. He had not seen her yet, and she slipped back behind a great rock and out of sight, ran swiftly down to the sandy strip of beach and away from him, her cheeks on fire, her heart beating hard. If he did care, did want her, he could seek her out and say so, and until he did this, she would not dawdle about alone on the veranda; but neither would she stoop to an attempt to make him lea-jous—she would not encourage Hal Porter. As she turned toward home she vowed a mental and spiritual vow of loyalty to Stanley, and to him alone. She would trust her love and leave it to his manliness and discretion to show her heart when the fullness of time should have come. The sun had quite gone down, and the first dusk came, and with it great peace and comfort to the girl after the unrest of the past few weeks. In this mood, Orpha came hurrying up the wood path, aware that she should not be alone, when she heard rapid steps behind her. She quickened her own pace, a little fearful, but in a moment the steps came closer and she heard her name. "Orpha! Orpha, wait for me!" An other instant and Stanley close at her side, a little out of closet. She turned, smiling slowly at him in the dim light, looking up at the big, fair man as he took her by the arm with a deep breath of relief. "Why are you running away from me?" he demanded. "Can't you see that some day I am bound to tell you that I love you? You have eluded me for weeks, Orpha! Does that mean that you don't—care?" He waited, and she shook her head in denial, joy surging in every vein. "Can you love me?—do you?" He caught both her hands in his and bent over them, kissing them gently. She did not withdraw them. There was no pretense, no dissimulation in love like hers. "I—love you—dearly," she replied firmly, but in a low tone. He put an arm about her shoulders and drew her to him. "Oh, my dear." he said, "my dear!" (Copyright, 1912, associated Literary Press) Simple Bath for an Elephant. During the recent heat wave in Paris the proprietor of a great managerle, noticing that his favorite elephant, Jimmy, was weak and listless, thought that a bath might do him good, so a bath was prescribed. First, six men soaped Jimmy all over, not forgetting—and this was the most delicate part of their task—the multitudinous folds of his ears. Then hoses played on this pachyderm from every quarter of the compass. Now came the drying, which was performed by throwing quantities of fine sand over the animal. Jimmy was then rubbed down and anointed with pure cocoa oil till his skin was smooth and shining. He appeared very much better for his bath, and well he might, for this seemingly simple prescription had cost his owner $300. Moth Larvae Poisonous. The human skin is pierced by hairs of larvae of the precessionary moth, caterpillars that sometimes swarm over Europe in great numbers, and painful swelling, itching and great irritation result. A Belgian investigator, C. Pittiez, has found that the effects are not merely mechanical, but are due to chemical poisoning. On soaking the hairs in either they lost their irritant properties, but the unpleasant symptoms were caused by the substance dissolved out. This substance, of which 0.28 per cent. was extracted, has the chemical and physiological properties of cantharidin, the poisonous principle of cantharides. Soporific.

When anyone sighs unconsciously it means they have been taking short breaths and not drawing sufficient oxygen into the lungs. Finally, the lungs must have more oxygen, they are hungry for it, and so the lungs exert their right and actually force you to take in a great breath of air. This gives them the needed oxygen, and they can go on with their work for a while longer, when they will force another, "sigh," which is in reality helping themselves to more oxygen in spite of yourself.

Latin America, too, was the area over which his discoveries were extended, for it is a fact that he had no knowledge of the existence of the vast continent to the north of the Caribbean sea and the West India Islands. He had been to England and at one time in despair had applied to the court of England to help him in his great ambition, but his experience and his fame were Latin. Perhaps on this account the name of Columbus is incorporated more prominently in the nomenclature of Latin America than in that of Anglo-Saxon America. The Republic of Colombia bears witness to the honor with which he was held from the beginnings of independence in the western world. Today the one-time insignificant little port in Panama, Colon, at the northern entrance to the canal, indicates another attempt to perpetuate the name of Columbus in a geographical way. Other countries have districts or rivers, public parks and theaters, with the name of Colon, and it would seem to be in Spanish, as its equivalent, Colombo, in Portuguese, a mark of affection as well as of honor for the discoverer of America. The United States has given his name to the District of Columbia as soon as the founders of this Republic could consider designations apart from those inherited from provincial days. As the country grew in area, towns were named Columbus, and the designation of the federal district, which was to be the seat of government, shows that the discoverer was not forgotten, on the continent that once might have been his. Perhaps, however, the greatest compliment to the memory of Columbus is that implied in the poetical appellation "Columbia," the allegorical name given to the United States. There can be no denying the fact that the recognition of the great achievement of the admiral has been tardy. It is well known, however, that often the delayed judgment of history alone awards to great men the honor they deserved. We are all so familiar with the story of Colum- THE STATUE OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN us, that there is no need here to recount the many injustices which he suffered at the hands of his contemporaries. The salient fact that he was shorn of his honors and returned laden with chains, proves conclusively the cruel contempt with which the fearless navigator was treated in his own day. Time rectifies many misjudgments, and it has done so in the case of the discoverer of America. The wonder of his achievement is universally recognized and the worlds, both old and new, have testified in many monuments to the respect and honor in which they hold Columbus. The custom of preparing effigies in stone, so that the names and achievements of a nation's heroes may be passed on to posterity, finds its origin in most ancient times. It is but natural that this custom should have been followed in the case of Columbus. Today we find statues erected tti the discoverer in Italy, Spain and France, and in nearly all of the countries of the new world. At Genoa, which city claims the honor of being the birthplace of Columbus, there has been erected a very magnificent statue, which overlooks the bay. It was completed and deli- Butler preached COLUMBUS STATUE in WASHINGTON cated on November 9, 1862, although the foundation had been laid as far back as 1846. The inscription it bears is: "To Christopher Columbus, the Fatherland." Spain, which untry failed the Genoese during his lifetime, has been more generous to his memory, and here are many shafts raised to record the greatness of his deed. Perhaps the noblest monument yet erected to the memory of Columbus is that which stands in Barcelona. It was in this city that King Ferdinand and his consort, Isabella, received the admiral on the return from his first voyage. It is most appropriate situation. Much care was taken in the selection of the design of the Barcelona monument, and the result is artistic in every sense of the word. In the new world nearly every country has testified in recognition of the deed of Columbus by the erection of some character of monument. From the magnificent effigy which graces the center of Columbus circle in New York to the simple shaft COLUMBUS STATUE in BURNOs AIBES which marks the spot of the supposed first landing on Wattings island, we find a great number of statues erected in honor of the discoverer. Even the English have done honor to the navigator at Nassau in the Bahama islands and at Trinidad; and the people of Santo Domingo have also raised splendid monuments; while in Cuba, where, in the cathedral at Havana, the bones of Columbus were so long interred, there are a great many representations of this historic figure. The statue which is now placed in the president's palace, Havana, is an artistic piece of work, but the most striking effigy of all in Cuba is Vallmitjana's sculpture depicting Columbus in chains. It is to be regretted that this beautiful_work is only a clay model. The representation is that of Columbus in his old age. He is seated on a coil of rope on the deck of the ship which is carrying him to Spain. He reclines against a capstan, his fettered hands held before him. The artist has caught a striking expression of resignation combined with melancholy. The work is a masterpiece of sentiment and expression. Another historical group is that which was presented by Empress Eugenie of France to the Republic of Colombia. It now stands at Cristobal, the Canal Zone. Throughout Latin America the veneration of Columbus is universal, and we find his memory honored in cities of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile and other Pan-American states. It is curious to note that it was also a Latin, a Frenchman, who erected the first monument in the United States in honor of the achievement of Columbus. In Baltimore there still stands a monument erected over a century ago in honor of Original "Old Oaken Bucket" the first discoverer. It is said to be the original monument erected on this continent to commemorate the achievement of Columbus. It is unfortunate that there is no contemporaneous painting or likeness of Columbus extant. For this reason artists who have attempted to reproduce his lineaments in marble have been at a great disadvantage. As a matter of fact the accepted likeness of the admiral is after the manner of being an idealistic conception. All are familiar with the strong, clean-shaven face from which deep, expressive eyes look out under a broad brow. The deep lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth are also characteristic of the popular portraits of Columbus. Who would recognize the discoverer depicted with a gray beard? Yet it is more than probable that he wore one when he planted the banner of Spain on the shores of the New World. The few descriptions of the personal appearance of the admiral which we have from those who knew him well tell us "He was a man of sturdy stature, rather above the average height, of a very ruddy complexion, with freckles and red hair when he was young. The latter soon turned white, which was also the color of his beard." Beards were the fashion of his day in Spain, and it is easy to BUS STATUE in WASHINGTON believe that sailors wore them for protection. The representations which we see today of Columbus can nearly all be traced back to an engraving called the Paulus Jovius cut, which was made from a painting that has been lost. Even the lost painting was not an original likeness, for it was painted on what the lawyers would call "hearsay evidence." But as it was executed some time in the early years of the sixteenth century the features may be taken as fairly correct. In this cut Columbus is drawn without a beard, thus he is always Original "Old Was Stolen Shortly After the Well Known Poem of Samuel Woodworth Became Famous. Not far from Boston is located the well which inspired the familiar lines of Samuel Woodworth to the "Old Oaken Bucket." Every time the place is visited many new traditions are told concerning the famous old bucket, about which people have been singing these many years. Having drunk deep of the sparkling waters, between whistled snatches of the familiar refrain, how disconcerting it was to have the charm broken by learning that the original "Old Oaken Bucket" was stolen shortly after his well-known poem became famous. The youngest daughter of Samuel Woodworth, the author, died recently in Berkeley, Cal., and she often used to tell about the real old oaken bucket and of the sadness which came --- clean shaken in effigy. So it is with the new Columbus statue unveiled in Washington on June 8. This marks the first great memorial which the United States government has erected to Christopher Columbus. There has long been a feeling that this country has not had a really worthy monument to the man who is primarily responsible for the existence of the nation. The feeling took concrete shape when, in 1906, Representative James A. Goulden of New York introduced a bill appropriating the sum of $100,000 to be used for a Columbus memorial. Congress passed the bill and it was signed in 1907 by President Roosevelt. The design is a combination of fountain, shaft and statue. The fountain is semi-circular, 70 feet wide and 65 feet from front to rear. The balustrade which half encircles it bears the effigy of a heroic lion at either extremity. The salient feature of the memorial is a splendid stone shaft surmounted by a globe. Before this shaft, which rises in the center of the fountain circle, is a statue of Columbus. The globe which surmounts the shaft indicates the contribution the discovery of Columbus was to the science of geography. This globe is supported by four massive eagles CAPUS in CHALKS with outstretched wings. Upon it, in high relief, are cut the topographical features of the new world. At either side of the shaft there appear figures portraying the sculptor's conception of representative types of the new and old world. The figure of an American Indian, energetic in pose, one hand reaching over his shoulder and grasping an arrow from a quiver, represents the new world, while the statue of a patriarchal Caucasian of heroic proportions and thoughtful mlen, typifies the old world. On the mace at the hear of the shaft is placed a medallion representing Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. Oaken Bucket" over the household on the day it was stolen. It seemed as if one of the family were missing. In this age of souvenir collection, who knows but that some day the real old "moss-covered bucket that hung in the well" may turn up in a museum or serve as a water tank in the show windows of some enterprising advertiser? There is no other water bucket in the world so enshrined in homely, genuine romance as this one. Even the golden goblets of royalty, and the treasured challices of the Crusaders have never awakened the universal and popular interest attained by the "old oaken bucket that hung in the well," until it was stolen and carried away in the zenith of its fame.—"Afairs at Washington," Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he without doubt the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 137 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The house here illustrated is built on a plan that many might say belongs to the "old school;" but it has a good deal to recommend it. Those who appreciate plenty of light and air like to have rooms built on this plan, because they can have all the windows they want, and have them so placed that sunlight can penetrate into every room. The first houses, built when the country was new to white folks, were square or nearly so. Then, as more room was needed, they were extended in one direction, keeping generally to one room in width. When the limit in this form was reached, some bright, intelligent fellow branched off at right angles, and built a room on the side of his house. This must have been considered a great innovation, as well as a great invention; and so it was, for it has been handed down from one generation to the next, and we still find the idea worth adopting. There is no record of the original house built on this plan; so we do not know whether it had an upstairs or not; but there is a good second story to this house, and there is also a good collar—another feature that the original architect didn't understand. It is necessary to "hike" back to those "good old times" when luxuries approached closely to what we call privations, in order to appreciate what we now have. We could live as the early ploneers did, in one-room houses built with an ax; but we should rather not do it in the winter time. There are, however, a few principles that were worked into those early habitations that we cannot get away from, and we do not want to. One is the open-air freedom, the light and cheerful setting of trees and clearing, and the open fire 2019X place, the cheerful warmth of which still lingers in our hearts as a heritage from primeval days. As this house is 30 feet wide and the projections at the roof gables are extra, it needs considerable room. The law has decided that you must not hang your roof over your neighbor's ground, so it would be impossible to put this house on a narrow-minded DINING ROOM 140X150' KITCHEN 110X150' LIVING ROOM PORCH First Floor Plan. city lot. If you want to build on this plan, you must have room enough to look out in every direction. There is another advantage in a plan of this kind, and that is the possibility of extending it at the back without interfering with the original plan. Some houses may be enlarged when the family increases, while other plans cannot be altered without tearing the whole house to pieces. There are only six rooms in the plan as designed, but the rooms are all large. If an eight-room house is wanted in the years to come, the only thing necessary is to add a wing at the back similar to the one in front, and make two rooms that can be reached without any objectionable features and with no alteration in the original plan except the cutting of two doors. it is not desirable, as, a general thing, to build a house smaller than you really want, with the expectation of making it larger afterwards; but there are a great many different exist- --- ing circumstances, and changes in families are continually taking place. It is customary, under certain conditions, to build a house larger than necessary, and to leave some rooms unfinished to save expense at the time of building; but it is quite unusual to select a plan with the expectation of making alterations. In fact, it usually is very undesirable to do so. One feature about this plan that will strike everybody favorably is the possibility of building it for about $1,600. In these times of advancing prices, no one expects much of a house for any such price. A man Second Floor Plan. would have to manage very carefully to get this house for that amount of money; but it can be done in localities where building materials and labor can be had at reasonable prices, and provided the owner understands how to take advantage of such conditions. FAMOUS RELIC OF THE PAST Iron Pillar of Delhi, Made of Welded Metal, Was Wrought Some 1,500 Years Ago. The famous "Iron Pillar" of Delhi, which stands in the inner courtyard of the "Quth" mosque, about nine miles south of the modern city, has always excited the interest of metalurgists and engineers as well as historians. It was probably made about 413 A. D. cates nature, figure, into Mebride rms. and moved to its present site in 1052. As it is between 23 and 24 feet high, 16 inches in diameter at the base, and 12 at the tip, and probably weighs over six tons, its manufacture at so early a period as the fifth century partakes somewhat of the marvelous. And it was rendered even more of a manufacturing wonder when the discovery was made some years ago that it was a solid piece of welded wrought iron. The curious yellowish tinge of the upper part had led to the belief that it consisted of brass or bronze. The welding together of such a mass of metal in those primitive days, centuries before the era of modern forges and drop hammers, must have been a mighty troublesome job for King Candra's iron workers. Some years ago Sir Alexander Cunningham had a rough analysis of the metal in the Pillar made, which finally proved it to be wrought iron. Sir Robert Haddfield, a past president of the British Iron and Steel Institute, recently obtained new samples of the column and subjected them to a careful and very thorough analysis—"the first thorough analysis," he believes. The result was as follows: "Carbon, 0.08; silicon, 0.046; sulphur, 0.006; phosphorus, 0.114; iron, 99.72; total 99.966." Plainly a really excellent type of wrought iron, says Sir Robert, and much to be wondered at when the date of its manufacture is borne in mind. The small quantity of sulphur indicates the use of unusually pure fuel, probably charcoal. The absence of manganese, an element usually present in wrought iron, is also of interest. The specific gravity of the metal was found to be 7.81. The hand-made lace industry is important in Belgium, but has been injured by the advent of the machine-made product. There are about 50,000 women, mostly working women, in East and West Flanders, peasants in the country districts, who produce lace valued at about $4,825,000 yearly. The wages of these workers are only 20 to 30 cents a daw iets FEEL THE - PINCH OF WAR - i Sai Ba SF —~ a) ON ie Fives! es, | ain Nee et mp ee i ae iG “A Ftc Hel pe ae a me 2. pe Vere es A ona ba aE Uae bee eo TaN. aang chae et gees Mey eR EN pele ey eee IE! —a ane 8 ee IY a (ee ee — Ps Ae Ze ad ae = ee a Doth +e a ee De tz SUMMER QUARTER ON UPPER BOSPHORUS =e —_— le ae Cod f din om a GT Oe ee CS oD era ee | UF a ay + - 2k 3. epee a ee ot es Ls ee mal aie i ia Le geen Se ee ea aaa iy ea ee ad See es fol ei) ae Ses SOR ee eR Pe ree ee ae eee ¢ | arias fe ee Ue oy Ke ee Sel ee ft - ——“‘“iCOi™i‘CSS LS ——— WORRIGL TROOPS == Ee S 4 WHAT IS DENATURED ALCOHOL? é URKEY in war times is apparently a cheerful and carefree land, but one has to dive under the surface at times to find an undercurrent like that of the Bos- phorus itself. Old globe trotters are well aware that the surface cur- rent of the Bosphorus flows merri- ly from the Black sea down past the Golden Horn and into the Sea of Mar- mora, while far below there is a coun- tercurrent going the other way and carrying the salter waters of the Med: iterranean up to the doors of Costan- a and Odessa, In the city of Constantinople one Would suppose that was war unknown. Doubtless the heads that are under a million red fezzes have some inklings of it, but they do not think very hard. “You see,” said a member of the Young Turk party, “this war is about the unlucklest thing that could-have happened to the government. It was only a short time ago, as history is written, since the revolutionists came over from Macedonia and with very little ceremony lifted the sultan out of the chair of his fathers and de- Posited him in the provincial city of Balonica, where he remains even unto this day, x “They did not let him take even his wives or his beautiful pair of ‘white horses. He is an exile and a prisoner. So they put his brother in his place, and started a new regime. “Now the new sultan is hardly more than settled in the Yildiz Kiosk when Jtaly declares war at 24 hours’ notice ‘and put up to the young government a most momentous situation. The young government cannot afford to be beat- en, It must fight to the bitter end. 'To be beaten means to be destroyed. ‘The people of Turkey would trample it under foot.” But of all this one cannot find a sign in Constantinople—that is, not on the surface. Every Friday, for ex- ample, the sultan goes to a mosque to worship. The brass band from the barracks near by takes up a position Just west of the entrance to the mosque, Across the street in front of the military guardhouse privileged spectators assemble. The officer of the guard, cheerful and smiling, bus- tles about with a cigarette in his Denatured alcohol is also known as industrial alcohol, that is, is made to be used in the industries, in manu- factures and the arts, and in the pro- duction of light, heat or power. It was first known in Europe a number of years ago, and came to be very extensively used there. Its manufac ture and use in this country are com- paratively recent, though its chemical ature has been long known. It can mouth and handles visitors and in- truders with consummate sang froid. A company of gendarmes, very badly drilled and extremely awkward in ap- pearance, lines up at the curb, while an officer walks along and kicks their feet into some sort of position. Presently there. is a clatter of horses’ hoofs and three closed car- riages roll up from the west. In them are women wearing white veils. There are also some children. These are from the Imperial harem. ‘The horses are unharnessed and led away, and then the carriages are trun- dled by hand to positions against the curb east of the mosque. This im- portant operation is supervised by the chief eunuch, a coal black Ethiopian over six feet tall, clothed in the black broadcloth of an undertaker, but wear. ing the inevitable fez. Meanwhile the minister of war is lounging in front of the mosque en- trance and apparently cracking jokes with another brilliantly bedecked of- ficer. At any rate both are laughing, and so are most of the other military dignitaries. In a few minutes these officers are lined up in a diagonal di- rection from the mosque steps. The music of a military band is heard coming from the east. ‘Then the stltan’s bodyguard, a finely mount- ed and well set up body of cavalry, comes up in a column of fours. When they pass the sultan’s carriage drives up—an open carriage, containing a somewhat portly, white bearded man, whose salute to the line of officers is something of the sloyenliest. He lum- bers out and into the mosque, while the band from the barracks blows as hard as it can and makes a shocking series of discords with the infantry band at the head of the small column ot foot soldiers following the sultan’s carriage. At the same time the muezzin pops out of his littl® hole away up in the minaret and intones the customary summons to the faithful to go to prayer, The faithful, however, re- main outside, because no one is al- lowed to go into the mosque while the sultan is. there. ‘The whole ceremony is carried out in a cheerful and careless way. There appears to be no attempt to make any special parade of good humor. The thing just goes off as it might in the piping times of peace. be made from the fermentation of any substance containing starch or sugar, and as these elements exist throughout the vegetable world, this alcohol can be made from an iné numerable number of things, The main reason why the use of industrial alcohol developed slowly in this coun- try was because of the heavy tax on all kinds of alcobol, But in 1906 con- gress passed a “denatured alcohol Ti you ash a Turkish business man, he will tell you at once that the war is ruinous.

The regular eailing hour is noon, but the vessels are compelled to start now at an hour which will bring them to the Dafdanelles in the early morning. They cannot pass at night ‘on account of the mines. It is at the ancient gateway of the Hellespont that one first realizes that grim war 1s not far away from Constantinople. The forts are all fully garrisoued and the quiet discipline of military: rou- tine is in evidence. A 24hour run from Constantinople brings us to Smyrna, the key to Asia Minor, the queen city of Turkey's Asiatic possessions, situated in a place almost ideally planned for at tack from the sea. The gulf runs in- land 34 miles. It 1s bounded by bold mountainous headlands. Off its shores He large islands, Mitylene and Chios, ‘behind which an enemy's fleets can assemble unseen and make sudden descents. “There is no business at all,” sald a Smyrna merchant. “It is true that Constantinople has been affected, but It is very little. People continue to go there. But here everything has stopped. Why, you can buy our best rugs at your own price. We can’t selt anything. We give things away. What can we do?” “We don’t have the big caravans,” said a Smyrna man, “and there is no business for them. The little cara: ‘vans carry necessities to the places not on the railway Ine. That's all. ‘There is no business in Smyrna any more. I this war does not end we shall all be bankrupt.” Behind Smyrna are many great ra- vines in the hills. In all of them are the tents of soldiers. Driving along the roads in the ssountains one oc- casionally meets a wagon loaded with wooden boxes. On the top of the boxes perches a soldier with rifle in hand and filled cartridge belt slung around his body. One realizes that he is passing a load of munitions of war. But everywhere there is a dead si- lence, One hears no martial bugles blowing, no jangling of arms, no curt words of command. Only the squeaking siren of the lt- tle brown boat in the mine fields ad- vertises the fact that fear hovers over Smyrna. Yet her business is paralyzed, and in the hollows of her hills are camped 60,000 ‘Turkish troops. law.” This declared that any kind ot aleohol might be made free from tax, for any industrial purpose, pro- vided that it was denatured in such a way as to destroy its character as a beverage, and render it unfit for liquid medicinal purposes—Uncle Remus’ bes ‘Magazine.

Seeing the multitude thus without a shepherd, 60 faint and weary as to lay down and knowing that his great work was to be carried on by others after he had “finished” it upon Calvary, he makes special provision by choosing the twelve and telling them definitely how to carry on his ministry. Jesus realized that no one man can minister to all others except as he multiplies his personality in the lives of others. So it is that he gives the church of today a powesful example of how to answer the prayer of verse 38 by his practical method suggested in verse 1 of chapter 10. His vision of verse 36 is the passion of his life and he intends it to be the passion of our lives, Disciples Restricted. Following this introduction we find @ list of the peculiarly chosen ones who are to be his vicegerents after his passing, and from verse 5 on we find the charge he delivers to them. There is in this charge, first, the note of limitation, verses 5 to 15; secondly, the note of warning, verses 16 to 23, and thirdly the note of comparison, verse 24 to the end of this chapter and including 10:1. True, in this les- son we have only the first section, the Imitation together with the final words of the charge which in reality amounts to a complete identificition of his apostles with himself and his life of minlstry. pron ee ‘Notice the 1 worps al who formed that inner circle, Peter, James and John, and with them An- drew, who first brought Peter to Je- sus (John 1:41). After these the names are in groups of two, and it was as such they were afterwards sent out, Mark 6:7. So we today are not alone, Matt, 28:20, Acts 1:8. ‘Lét us observe the restriction placed upon these disciples. They are to minister not to the Gentiles nor even the Samaritans, though Jesus did both during his life, John 4:4 and Matt. 15:22, but not so these whom he now is sending, at least not till his work is complete and Israel has had its day of opportunity. After Calvary this re- striction is removed, as we can see from the book of Acts. Another restriction is in the mes- sage and the method. The message '{s to be the good news of the king- dom. ‘They are to “herald forth” that it is at hand. That the Messiah has come. We are told that they are not to force the acceptance of their mes- sage. That in its proclamation they ehall receive all sorts of opposition. ‘That they must look well to their own character, they are to be as sheep amidst wolves, they shall be haled before courts and potentates, but ‘such persecution shall be a witness against their persecutors for “his sake.” Bearing of Disciples. ‘What {s to be their method? First, it is to be that of absolute depend- ence upon the Father. It is true that Paul labored with his own hands, but at the same time he accepted the bounty of the churches and urged that such fruft might abound, Phil. 4:10, 15, 17. Jesus is here teaching us the other lesson that the “laborer is wor- thy of his hire.” The disciple is to heal. ‘The ministry of hospital, nurs- ing and godly physicians is a marvel- ous fulfillment of this command. Ob- serve well the ministry of medical missions. There is no greater inspi- ration to the Christian church. What is to be the bearing of these disciples? It is to be that of dignity and self respect, see Luke 10:5. While it is true the disciple is to offer and not to force his message upon the people, yet for Israel to re- fect was indeed a worse state than that of Sodom and Gomorrah.
