Something of the New President General
 of the Daughters of the Revolution.
 There is great rejoicing among the Daughters of the Revolution over the victory won by the independents of the society recently. when its new constitu- ton was adopted by an overwhelming vote and Mrs Henry Sanger Snow of Brooklyn became it's president general
 Mrs. Charles B. Yardley of Orange, N. J., until then occupied that place, but she joined the ranks of the opposi- tion party, which was defeated, and re- signed, whereupon Mrs. Snow, the vice president, took her place.

Others of her an eestors were officers ill the Revolution. Mrs. Snow is graduate of Vassar col 1ege She is leader and has much tact and diplomacy She is all ardent sui fragist but she goes about her work in the cause in quiet, gentle way. She is also a philanthropist and is known to many poor families in the slums of Brooklyn, besides being identified with a number of we'll known charities. She believes in women and hopes for more fer women from the ballot than from anything else. According to her idea, it will equalize wages between men and women.

BACON, BREAD AND SOUP.

Government Board Decides on "Emer-
 gency Rations' For Soldiers.
 Hard bread, bacon and compressed soup will probably compose the "emer- gency ration" about to be adopted by the war department. Some time ago it was decided by the secretary of war to make a practical examination of all goods in order to discover the best ration for soldiers on forced march. A board was appointed, and after thorough ex- animation it recommends the menu given above. This recommendation has been approved by the assistant secretary of war. It is now being considered by Secretary Lamont.
 In the long list of foods considered by the board oatmeal bread, bread made from whole wheat, pemmicans or meat paste, corned beef, smoked beef and canned cooked beef were found espe- cially nutritious, but all had to stand aside for bread, bacon and soup. The board also recommended coffee as part of an emergency ration. It suggested that tea; when called for, may be sub stituted for coffee.
 The board considered the efforts at concentration of coffee to be practically failures, declaring the solid extracts to have taste of coffee, while the fluid ex- tracts have more flavor of chicory than of coffee. The weight of one ration as recommended by this board is B. IS ounces In dire emergency one-half this amount daily would sustain life.

SOLD AN ENTIRE TOWN.
The Deserted Village of Halbertson Bought
 For ss2,O ,OOO.

 The Deserted Village of Halbertson Bought
 For 5000.
 Sheriff Allen R. Shinn has just had the unusual distinction of selling an en- tire town. Two thousand dollars was the price paid and the title of the He brew settlement of Halbertson, N. J., passed at public sale from the Cumber- land Land and Improvement company to the New Jersey Loan and Investment company, who had a mortgage upon the entire tract and foreclosed on it.
 What they will do with the place is not known. Halbertson was started some years ago to provide homes for the Russian Hebrew immigrants. Twenty two houses were erected on the tract and large factory put up. For time the village prospered, but the class of people there were not active and thrifty, and gradually it became a deserted vil- lage, not one of the inhabitants re- maining.
 Maurice River township built large schoolhouse there. which, like the oth- CT buildings, is unused. This is be- lieved to be the first case on record of a sheriff selling an entire town. --Phila- delphia Press.

Great London,

London is perhaps the most &C.
centric wonder in the history of the
world. Its vast extent of sordid, in
artistic buildings and its enormous
migratory ledger population, it's
abundant evidence of wealth and
yet it's widespread areas of local
poverty, its feeble minded native
occupants and the energy of it's for
elgn and provincial immigrants, the
sumptuousness of its western man.
sions and it's unlimited extent of
squalid homes, its i'll arranged, i'll
kept and dirty streets and it's pol
luted atmosphere are all exceptional,
and most of them are in their vari-
Gus ways superlative. Moreover,
London, all it's gifts considered, is
perhaps the least efficient and least
influential aggregate of people on
the globe.
A population so enormous and
condensed is, from sheer incapacity
of apprehension, led to take the
facts of it's condition absolutely and
without comparison and to suppose
that in its special sphere the actual
condition is at once natural and nee
essary. London so completely fills
the eye of Londoners that they be-
come incapable of measuring the
great community or of estimating
its condition and it's worth by any
outer standard. Hence it is that the
chief city in the world falls fire.

Panoramic Wall paDer,

The Lawrence House, which
stands directly behind the common,
is one of the historic landmarks of
Exeter, n. II. The most admired
feature in it is the room at the right
on the first floor, which today has
on it's walls the original paper that
its former proprietor, the late Jo-
than Lawrence, imported from
Italy at great expense at the time
the house was built, in 1909. 1t is
known as landscape paper, ard is
made up of scenes of the bay of Ma
pies, no picture being duplicated.
In fact, it is perfect panorama.
One whole side shows the bay, with
Vesuyius in the background. When
this paper was purchased, it became
necessary to send to Boston for a
paper hanger to lay it. In this room
have been entertained Abraham
Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Benjamin
F. Butler and many others Of prom

many of its original furnishings,

Buying a Daughter-in-law.

The burlesque conception of a
mother -in-law which for many
years has been part of the stock in
trade of so called comic" journals
must, I think, have originated in
China, where the mother-i Law is a
very important person indeed, but
she is the husbands mother, and q
nice life she leads her unfortunate
daughters-in-law if those young Ia
dies do not happen to please her.
Some astute DANES prevent the pos
sibility of family discords, however,
by buying girl babies and rearing
them up as future wives for their
little sons. Chinese mothers are
said to often turn their girl babies
over to the hucksters, who hawk
them about the streets in a basket,
selling them for an insignificant
price. Princess.

TransplantirR Teeth.

Among the wonders of modern
surgery there is nothing moro re-
markable than the transplanting of
teeth. Some years ago dentist on
the Pacific coast created sensation
by extracting q tooth from the jaw
of one person and inserting it in tho
jaw of another. Since that time the
operation has been repeatedly tried,
but with not altogether satisfactory
results. AT least 25 per cent of the
cases have failed of success. Con-
sidering that the experiment. is in
its infancy, this is encouraging. Tho
method is to select the tooth re-
quired for the purpose, pains being
taken that it is of just the size and
shape to fit the space of the one re-
moved. The crown is severed from
the root, which is then deprived of
its pericementum and shaped to suit
the operator. A thorough cleansing
of the nerve canal is next in order;
then the apex of the root is filled
and herm etically sealed with a tiny
platina tube carefully fitted into the
nerve canal. After the most careful
course of antiseptic treatment, the
socket is prepared to receive the
new root, which is secured in place,
and SO covered that it is safe from
shocks and pressure. After about
six weeks, or. when the union has
taken place, provided the operation
is successful, a porcelain crown is
attached to the root, and the patient
has fine, strong and natural look
ing tooth. New York Ledger.

George Eliot and q Tragedy,

The late George Eliot, though she

pity, touched the great novelist. =
