MISS GOULD'S PHILANTHROPY,
How She Cared for Soldiers Who
Dropped by the Wayside.

One of the grandest acts of Miss
Gould's philanthropy has never been not
ed in the newspapers, says William E..
Curtis in the Chicago Record. When the
men at Montauk Point were mustered out
or given furloughs most of them started
directly for New York and many almost
Immediately fell victims to the tempta-
they usually found themselves in some
low lodging house without a dollar. Often
they were ill or weak from exposure and
privations, and suffered relapses because
Of their designations. When this fact be-
ca me known to Miss Gould she hired the
Salvation army headquarters, placed a
sum of money in the hands of the person
in charge, bought $50 spring cots and
bedding, provided cooks, walters and 9TH
agents on all the trains running into the
city from Montauk Point and the rail-
way stations to notify every soldier who
arrived in town that a good bed and
wholesome food were waiting for him

What Becomes of Pins

An old gentleman in the north of Lon
don has been making series of inter
esting experiments with view to finding
solution to the question often asked:
"What becomes of the countless myriads
of pins, etc, that are annually lost!
As he expected, he finds that it is the
disintegrating effects of the air which re-
solve even these intractable little instru-
ments into their elements. He put some
hundreds OF brass and steel pins, needles.
hairpins, ETC., in a quiet corner of his
garden, where they would be subject to
all the destructive agencies of dampness,
earth, wind, ETC., although secure from
the predatory hands and disturbing feet
of inquisitive intruders.
The results are curious. Ordinary hair
pins were the first taking 154 days, on
an average> to oxidize into brownisil
rust-ferrous oxide-which was scattered
by the wind as it was formed, and not a
trace of single one could he detected at
the end Of seven months. Common
bright pins took as long as eighteen
months before their combustion was COM
plcte, but brass ones had been entirely
turned into green verdigris long before
that.
At the end of fifteen months an ordi-
nary penholder had had it's nib entirely
rusted away, but the wooden stick was
still almost unaltered. 1t is probable that
the paint on it had somewhat of a pre-
servative effect. Some used wax vestas
were almost gone, with the exception of
the cotton wick, in less than eighty days
from the time they were deposited, but
the sulphur heads of some, unlit ones
were as perfect as ever. -
Polished steel needles of a small size
lasted very long time lover two years
and a half; but a black lead-pencil proved
itself to be practically indestructible. both
cedar and plumbago being almost as good
as when new, even though harder things
had quite rotted. ~. - - e

Columbus Many Burials.

Havana dispatches say that on Septem-

taken out of the sarcophagus in the cathe-
dral at Havana, i'll which they had rested
for more than century, and was sealed

Cuevas, where, in 1926, they were joined

and deposited in the principal chapel of
the cathedral of San Domingo. In 1895,
when San Domingo passed to France
the Spaniards moved what was believed
to be the body of Columbus to Havana;
but the story is that they took not Chris
topher, but Diego, and the proof offered
is that Columbus, by his will, ordered the
chains he wore in his Imprisonment to be
buried with him, which was done. but
that the coffin moved to Havana had no
chains i'll it. On this ground, and per-
haps for other reasons, the San Domingo
people have already averred that their
cathedral still held ali that was left of
Columbus; and perhaps they are right,
though their claims have never had any
standing in Havana or in Spain.
There is no present indication that any
S .rious opposition will be made to the
transfer of Havanas good-enough Co.
lumbus back to Spain, though the pro-
ceedings may yet become matter for nego-
tiation. 1t may be doubted whether the
attachment of Columbus to Spain was
sufficiently strong to make him indisposed
to continue as tenant of Cuban soil
after the departure of the Spanish flag
from that island. His burials heretofore
have always been occasions of great cere-
mony, and doubtless the next one will not
be an exception. Weekly.

and the little dolls set of dishes to fur
nish forth our tables. Perhaps we can
remember our delight in pair of new
shoes; the ecstacy which came with the
Christmas gifts; the great pleasure there
was in the visit of some friend for whom
we cared. A certain family of little peo-
pie were always in the seventh heaven
when there came to the house a friend
of their mother-a lady not young, not
beautiful, not peculiarly gifted, but one
of those divinely sweet and dear per-
sons, to whom God has made clear the
heart of a child. This sweet woman could
tell stories by the hour; she knew riddles
and games; she could make rag dolls and

Gloves of the Ancients.

Before the tenth century English ladies'
wore long sleeves with pointed flaps that
rested OIL the backs of their hands, or
when they went forth in winter drew the
loose drapery of their outer garment over
their hands. The first glove had only a
thumb and no fingers, like the mlttens of
the present day. Their wearers were SO
proud Of then, that they emphasized them
by bright colors, such as yiOlets, reds and
blues. The gloves were woi,dro,,sly~ en-
broidercd and starred with jewels No
gloves were fined than those of the clergy
They were mostly of white silk or linen,
cunningly embroidered and sometimes
fringcd with pearls. One ecelesiastic had
a rcd silk pair with the sacred mono
gram worked on the back, surrounded
with Il golden glory, and later on they
had gloves to match their different vest
uaents. III fact, gloves had departed from
the primary ideas of utility and become
q decoration. They were too magnificent
for common wear and in contemporary
pictures the nobility seemed to have car

BEVERAGES OF HISTORY.
Human Race Has Always Been In

Human Race Has A1ways Been In
clined to Strong Drink. !
When the question of the moment is
how to allay our thirst, the beverages of
history are of more than ordinary inter
est: The Egyptians, who have been un-
gallant enough to leave behind them de-
lineations of the fair sex in a state Of
intoxication, had several kinds of wine
more than 5000 years ago, in addition to
beer called hega, made from barley
The ancient Assyrians,. too, loved their
wine. The earliest mention of wine in the
Bible is reference to Noah planting a
vineyard and getting drunk with the vine
The drinks of antiquity were sometimes,
to say the least, peculiar. The Greeks
and Romans, whose customary drink was
wine, often mixed it with sea water.
Other ancient beverages were honey and
rainwater; honey, salt water and vine
gar; and mixture of honey and myrtle
seed.
Homer speaks of a wine to which TWEEN
ty times as much water could be added.
The Roman lover, when drinking to his
lady, often drank as many cups of wine as
there were letters in her name. Warm
water was sometimes regarded by the Ro-
mans as an agreeable drink at the conclu-
sion of the chief meal. It is safe to as
sumo that this was not In summer time.
ings, whose liquors were ale, beer, wine
and mead. Quafing ale from the skulls
of their enemies formed one of the chief
attractions of the promised Valhalla.
All through our history we find love
for drinking prevalent among the people.
A drink much in demand in the time Of
Chaucer was bracket, made of the wort of
ale, honey and spices. BY the time of
Edward ~. drinking had become so pro-
ductive of crime that few places We're
allowed more than two taverns. London
had to be content with forty. Under the
Stuarts drunkenness was at its height.
Thirst provokers were largely taken, and
mans claim to distinction was largely
due to his bottle capacity. while ladies Of
the court thought it no shame to become
inebriated. The three or fve-bottle man
was an object of envy to his fellows.
Indeed, the scenes of Hogarth are but
sidelight on the times. Signs were
hung outside taverns informing the thirsty
wayfarer that he could get drunk for q
penny" and dead drunk for twOpence."
Such notices often ended with the signifi-
cant words, "Clean straw for nOthings'
With the reign of George Nv. disappeared
fashionable intemperance, and drunk as
lord was no longer correct simile.
The aerated waters now SO largely used
were first made on large scale by
Schweppe of Geneva in 1887, and ten
years later q factory was established in
England. There is still fortune await
ing the man who can invent d summer
drink devoid of the shortcomings possessed
by those at present in the market.-Lopq-
