A New YORKER has collected facts
relating to over 800 dinners where
there were thirteen at table, and the
average of deaths among them is SO
low as to lead him to declare that
thirteen is an exceedingly lucky num-
Der and to advise everybody to ring il
in whenever possible.

The fact still remains that agrieul-
ture is the underlying industry of the
world. The farmer and the miner are
the real producers of wealth. Without
abundant crops the. nation has little
purchasing power, and little to export
with cheap and abundant breadstuffs
all over the world prosperity reigus,
and business is remuner2 tive.

The Greeks held the cabbage in such high
esteem that they deduced its origin from
the father of the gods. The SaNons named
February "Sprout Kale' in honor of this
vegetable, so that it is appropriate to make
it our February vegetable.
Chemically, according to Schrader, cab
bage contains starch, vegetable albumcn,
resin, gum extract and some salts Sir
Humphrey Davy estimates that its nutri-
tive matter is about - in 900 parts, while
Boussingault calculates that LAG parts of
white cabbage are equivalent in nutritive
powers to l9l of wheat. 1t must be well
cooked, If cooked at all, or it is less digesti-
BILE than when eaten as slaw or salad.
Phillips says that "the ancient Romans
banished physicians from their territory
and preserved their health 600 years by the
use of cabbage" 1t is frequently used in
long voyages TO prevent scurvy, and would
be more effective for this purpose If cooked
and eaten without pork. Journal OF

town street when he happened to see a
young girl with the all desired locks hur-

she did not seem to have very much to

clinging calico wrapper that draped her
fine form. The moment the artist saw her
he quickened his pace, calling out as he ap
preached:
'Hi therel you grill you with the red

her shoulder, and seeing the strange man
making toward her, she began to run. The
artist did likewise. Down the street fled
the terrified girl, her face as white as death.
The street boys joined in the chase, and n
policeman, thinking the girl thief, inter
cepted and brought her to halt, painting

had recovered her breath, and when the
undaunted artist asked if she was willing
to pose for him she declined in language
that made the gamins howl with delight
and gave to the artist shock that he will
never get over.-Utica Observer.

In the days Of the chestnut bell lot OF
us were waiting at Trenton for the Long
Branch train, and one of the men began
telling about his experience on a wrecked
vessel in mid Atlantic. Near by, on a
passengers trunk, sat "A pale faced, weary
eyed young man of 20 summers, who was
going down to the Branch with his ma.
He wore a chestnut bell, and this was per
haps the first time he had had a chance to
ring it. The gentleman was proceeding
with his story when ting-a-ling! went the
bell He stopped and looked around and
then continued, but after half minute
the young man belled him up again. The
man looked annoyed, but went on, and
during the quarter of an hour he was talk
ing that bell rang about fifteen times.
When he had finished he looked over to
the weary young man and asked;
What is that bell fort"
"Chestnuts," was the reply.
''How do You meanF
"Why, you know, when you hear any
thing old you ting-a-ling on the bell"
"Oh, you do. guess I'll try it once"
He got up, shook the young man out Of
his coat and collar at the first shake and
then whirled him around, ended him up
and gave him toss over a heapof baggage
The bell boy got up covered with dust and
a wreck, the bell broken by the shock and
his collar hanging by one end, and as he
disappeared into the ladies' room we heard
his mother exclaim:
"Why, darling didn't warn you to look
out for the locomotives"
And the man who had told the story
added:

fANArIcIsM N rae DARK ACES.
Religious Enthusiasm That Strewed
southern Europe with Corpses.

Religious EnSbusiasm Ahat Sere"ou
southern Europe with Corpses.
The term Ozark Ages" is somewhat
vaguz applied to that period following
the fall of the Roman empire, and proceed
ing ths revival of letters in the fourteenth
centuly. In abiding to the Dark Ages,
however, as a general rule, we have in
mind the period of the Crusades to the
Orient for the liberation of the Christians
and the Holy Sepulehre. In 1913 Peter
the Hermit made pilgrimage to Jerusa-
lem, where the oppression he witnessed
caused him to resolve to free Christ's peo-
pie AMI the relics so dear TO the Christian
people Peter led the first host of the Cru
saders in person; other bands soon fol
lowed. In all it has been estimated that
not less than 100000 of human lives were
lost in this wild attempt to keep the Pa
gans out of Jerusalem. In the year 1919
the Crusades took different turn; chill
dren were drawn into the movement.
In the early summer of the year named
two immense armies of children were gath
cred in France and Germany in response to
the call of two boy prophets, neither of
whom was over ~ years of age. These
Youthful leaders believed, or affected to be-
lievc, themselves the chosen of God, and
that it was their duty to lead these chill
drcn through the Mediterranean as Moses
had led the children of Israel through the
Red Sea. The excitement caused by the
workings of these boy preachers spread like
a plague; whole families of children Joined
the hosts already organized; no amount OF
remonstrance on the part Of the parents
could check the epidemic in the least
Children who were locked up to keep them
from going on this tramp of death died in
commissions or lost their minds in hopeless
melancholy.
The first great host of children left for
the Holy Land under the leadership of
Nicholas of Cologne; the second band I'M
der the leadership of boy whose name is
unknown. The combined number of these
two armies was $1,000, about 5000 being
girls under eight years of age. In the same
month another army left France under the
guardianship of Stephen of Vendame; this
army numbered not less than 10000. The
| first two legions crossed the Alps-Nicho-
| las at Mount Gents and the unknown lead
err ut St Gothard-and descended into It
aly. The combined armies of Nicholas
and his unknown ally lost not less than
$4,000 children by heat, hunger and fatigue
| before reaching the first valley in Italy.
| Stephens French army suffered still more
terribly, 10000 of them dying before the
mountains were reached, and another 5000
before they reached Italy, the entire route
being strewn with corpses. OF the 100000
