CONFERENCE IS TO Be HELD.

open and out rushed the cook, who
called for Help" When she saw her
mistress she declared between sobs
that the kitchen range had exploded,
and that her cousin had been killed.
The mistress ran into the kitchen aft
er sending her huCband for the doc
tors and found the place covered with
ashes and a young man apparently
half dead lying in a chair in front Of
the range. His head and face were
apparently covered with blood, but it
was soon discovered that he was still
alive, as he said he was only stunned.
The housewife Immediately set to
work to wash the mans head and
face and prepare him for the doctors,
but she was moved to merriment when
she found that the supposed blood was
only tomato juice. In truth the cousin
was not injured at all. The explana-
ton was that the cook had placed
can of tomatoes under the crate to
melt the sealing on the lid, and that
the explosion, which scattered the
ashes and tomatoes, followed the ex-
pansion of the frozen liquid in the can.
When the policeman and doctors ar
rived they were told the story and
Joined in the laugh, which was on the
cook and her cousin.

OF all spots in Europe in which the
cars peace congress could be held,
The Hague is the most in consonance
with the purposes of the conference.
The very air anywhere in Holland,
and particularly The Hague, breathes
the spirit of contentment and good
will. Nothing hurries there. IT the
palaces by the side Of the canal
streets the big wigs Of the civilized
world can sit and "resoloot," drinking
the while deeply of Schiedam
schnapps. The Netherlands look
peaceful, but it is peace that is well
won-a peace that was wrested from
man and nature.
There isn't a prettier city than the
Hague for it's size in all Europe, nor
one more beautifully laid out. 1t has

flank quiet-moving canals; its houses,

IS in the Huisten Bosch, or House
of the Woods. This palace, which
is 250 years old, is a mile out
of town, at the side of the road to
Haarlaem. 1t is in the middle OF the
Bosch, or forest park, which begins at
the fashionable end of the town and
extends for three or four miles. The
park is full of lofty oaks, which have
been allowed to grow to their natural
size and in their natural way, con-
trary to the usual Dutch custom, which
is to trim trees to symmetrical shape.
The House Of the Woods is one of the
private palaces of the queen. 1t con-
tains a great hall, called the Oranje
Zaal, or arrange Hall. Here, doubt
less, the conference will be held.
One of the show palaces OF The
Hague is the Royal Museum, in the
Maurits Huis, which is named from
Prince Maurice of Nassau who built
it nearly three centuries ago. 1t con-
tains a rare lot of Chinese and Jap
anese curiosities, which is rather an
odd circumstance for 4 royal museum
in Europe. 1t also shelters an invalu-
able collection of paintings from all
the Dutch masters.
Among the fine public squares in
the town is that called the Vijverberg,
or fish pond hill, which borders on the
fish pond, 1t is in the center Of the
town, and on the edge Of the pond is
the old chateau of the Counts Of Hol-
land. 1t was the first of these counts
who gave the name to the town. The
locality was then his hunting preserve
and he surrounded it by hedge, hence
the name Hague. This chateau, found
ed in the fourteenth century, has been
improved and extended in modern
days so that now it includes two
courts, an outer door and an inner.
fhe latter court probably is the oldest
building in The Hague 1t contains
the Gothic hall, a room Of magnificent
extent. being 100 feet long, 62 feet
wide and 50 feet high. This building
also contains the library of the rec
ords of the town and nation.
Il was opposite the door of this
court that the aged patriot Barnevelte
was beheaded in 1913. The people
gathered sand wet with his blood and
preserved it as a sacred relic. The
house in which Barnevelte lived is
now part of the hotel of the minister
of finance, in the LANCE Workout. In
this court, too, the chambers Of the
States General, or the Dutch Parlia-
ment, sit.
The guests to the congress may be

which border the Workout, one of the

Women are said to be longer lived
than men. Among centenarians the
proportion of women to men is almost
double. There are in this country 2,5S3
women who have reached the century

who have lived so long. In France

its antiquarian treasures have not been
investigated since Cailliaud, the French
traveller, studied them in the early part
of this century. His work, Voyage a
Meroe, etc." published in 1926, is still
the main authority for a country
which if not the cradle of Egyptian
culture, as was at one time supposed,
is full of memorials of the power of
the Pharaohs. English archaeologists
have not been idle in following in the
sirdar's wake. DR.. Wallis Bulge, the
keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian
departments at the British museum,
was there last year, and has been Wis
iting some of the antiquities in the
neighborhood Of Shendy this year. He
returned to Cairo few days ago from

been made public, and the result of his
important Investigations are impa-

A Suspected Tragedy That Resulted
Harmlessly.
Unusual excitement disturbed the
quiet of a Philadelphia residence one
recent Sunday evening, resulting in the
hurried visits of a policeman and two
doctors to the house. Just as the man
of the house and his wife had reached
the front steps on the way home from
church the door was hurriedly thrown
