HAVE EYES AND SEE NOT.

Everyday Matters That Some People
Seem Never to Notice.
Can you tell me IL collections of the
mail are made todayr asked an elder
" man Of a young man in n Pennsyl-
vania avenue news store last Sunday.
Yes; there are several collections
made In this city ON Sunday" was the
answer.
do you know the hourT
MY friend, In front Of this store is
q mail box, and on the front of it Is to
be found u card with the hours Of dai-
ly collection neatly tabulated. Ex-
anime 1t"
Thanks"
This is an example why some Of
the old men are pushed to the wall in
the struggle for life and why it is not
always the old practitioner who is the
BEST" said the young man. For a
man of apparently 20 to ask in the
city Of Washington such a question as
that gentleman just addressed to me
Is little short of criminal and well eX-
emplifies how woefully deficient some
people are with reference to matters
Of common knowledge which ought to
be in the possession Of every schoolboy
at the age OF 10.
There are certain wrinkles of met
ropolitan life that some people seem
never to grasp. The running leeway
of the street cars, their termini, the
streets through which they pass and
the districts they tap, the running
time between Washington and the
principal cities Of the railroads, a thor
ough knowledge Of the environments
Of the city, the major questions Of
the mail service and n thousand and
one matters which, if not directly ac-
Quired by learning should be by alb
sorption, ought to be at the finger tips
Of every person who enjoys the priv
ilege Of metropolitan ife."-Washing-
ton Star.

ORIGIN OF SETTING THE
RIVER ON FIRE"

In old English times, when each
family was obliged to sift its own
flour, it sometimes happened that an
energetic man would turn his sieve
go rapidly as to cause it to catch FIRE.
The style of sieve used used in those
days was called q "temnse," and it
became customary saying that la
" man would never set tie tense on
fire. Now it happens that the name
of the river Thames is pronounced
ike the name # this old flour sieve.
and after many years, when the old.
fashioned tense was forgotten, it
was thought that setting the tense
on fire meant setting the river on fire,
and that is why to day we say that q
stupid person will never set the river
ou fire.-June Ladies' Home Journal.

GO 6TREW THE FLOW EksE
Go stzew ths nsvsEs o,a patriots'
gEAves
They who wars trials stood,
And for our land, this glorious land,
So bravely stemed the food
In yean gone bye, gloom and des-
pair,
Spread DER the nations sky;
The Union divides against itself,
And slaves for freedom cry.
Twas then these patriots good and
true,
A hundred thousand strong"
Stepped to the front and gave theil
lives.
To blot out slavery's wrong.
The task was not an easy one.
All! who can count the tears.
The pains, the deaths, the suheringl
OF wars four weary years.
But right prevailed as it always must,
They who were slaves are free;
The north and south unite again
And live in harmony.
To those who stood in battles front,
A tribute you should bring;
All honor to that gallant host,
Praises to them Wen sing.
And let us learn from them, this
truth,
That we to-day are blest,
Above that Of our patriot sires,
With health and peace and rest.

Battery place is the traditional spot
where. on May G, 1926, the Indian own
ers Of Manhattan bartered 1t to the
Dutch for baubles worth 90 guildefs.
AS early rs 1903, there being a wal
with the French. "a platform upon the
outmost point of rocks under the fort
was designated as a suitable place for
a battery. and the council was called
upon by Governor Fletcher to furnish
''86 cords Of stockades, II feet In
length, for the purpose Of building
same"
In 1875 a really imposing battery.

erected by Governor Cosby, and ''The

been with the pleasures of peace to a
much greater extent than with the art

A LONG SIEGE.
That of Gibraltar Breaks the Record
of Modern Times.

That of Gibraltar Breaks the Record
of Modern Times.
Although by no means the most terri
BILE, the last siege Of Gibraltar, when
the Rock was held by British garrison
under General Elliot against the COM
bined efforts Of the Spaniards and
French from July 5, 1779. to Nov. 26,
1871, holds the record as the longest
important siege Of modern times. The
fact that every now and again the gar
rison were able to add to their pro-
visions by successful sorties kept them
from succumbing to hunger, but
scurvy claimed nearly 1000 victims.
For weeks together over 5000 shells
were thrown into the town daily. A
curious point about this siege is that
the governor Of Gibraltar, after having
done everything he could think Of to
strengthen the fortifications, issued q
proclamation calling on any Of the gar
rison who had any schemes to propose
to call on him with them, as he did not
wish the Rock to fall when by listening
but few minutes to q private individ-
ual it might be saved.

during the Russo-Turkish war from
Sept. Z. 1877, to Dec. 10 against the
pick Of the Russian army the Turkish
garrison, under Osman Pasha, accom-
plished the impossible. according to
