fitting description of Adjutant-General

Colorado a year ago. The Judge said
he did not want TO use any harsh

comment, he said that he believed the

"I was up yesterday morning at
dawn. The sun was just coming up
and the moon and stars We're just
getting dim. Over there on the peak
of Straw Mountain saw General Bell
sitting. He had a sword in his hand
100 feet long. He watched the sun
a while and looked ovG at the planets.
"'All of sudden he waved his sword
around his head and beloved, so that
the mountain rang and reverberated
with the tones. He shouted:
"'"Sun, moon, and stars! Right
about face! Forward, march"'
"Then, the man said, he watched the
sun come up and the stars and moon
go down, smiled to himself and went

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.

"In most cases umbrellas are not
fairly worn out; they are ruined
through carelessness of their owners"
said A. L. Kent, an umbrella and cane
man of Boston, recently, at the Marl-
borO. "When | see man walking
with an umbrella tightly graSped in
his hot land l smile to myself, be-
cause | know that very soon that man
will be wanting a new umbrella. There
is no surer way Of making an umbrella
wear out quickly than this habit of
carrying it about by its middle. Again,
after being out in the rain you should
turn your umbrella upside down, and
let the water drain off, as it stands
with the handle downward. BY do
ing this you prevent the water from
getting in at the framework and
thereby protect the ribs from rusting.
Some men open their umbrellas before
they stand them up to dry, but that is
bad plan, because the umbrella may
stretch when it is wet. Another thing,
too never roll your umbrella up as to
do so cuts the sllk."-New York Globe.

WHERE NEW FOODS FOR
MANKIND ORIGINATE
Every Week, From Somewhere,
Vegetable, or a Fruit, or a Nut is
Added to the Worlds Bill OF Fare.

Man will eat 200 or 300 more foods
In the year 1000 than he eats now,
said chemist. A movement Is on foot
among the worlds governments to in
crease the varieties of our foods, and
every week a new vegetable or fruit or
nut is added to the international bill of
fare. 1t is by study of the food of
savages that we get our new foods.
Savages eat many things we regard as
weeds or poisons, but which we can re-
fine.
That is how we got our new delica-
cies in the past Egg plant and toma-
toes, for instance, we had never
thought Of eating till certain Peruvian
savages showed us the way. Oats,
barley and rye originated from weeds
that grew on the shores of the Medi-
terranean. The buckwheat came from
a wild Siberian plant. Melons, cucum-
bers, horseradish and onions were
weeds of the East. The pumpkin was
regarded as poison for long time,
and with no little fear did some adven-
turous person of the past test it as a
food.
Turning TO the foods of our future.
we find that the klamath Indians alone
eat forty kinds of vegetables that are
unknown to us. Scientists are testing
these vegetables, and are finding them
to be palatable and nutritious.
Among them is the wichpi, which
grows on the margins of the Western
lakes. Its stems contain white pith

ant as lump of milk chocolate. Then
there is the kotsonoka. or goose foot.
The goose foot bears in August small
black seeds. These seeds the Kla.
maths roast, grind and make into
cakes and gruel The wokas, or vel
low water lily, is the Klamaths' staple
food. 1t is made into bread and into
porridge. Weeks Progress.

J. II. Miner, who resides here, was
one of President. Roosevelt's famous
Rough Riders. Two years ago, when
the President visited Vallejo and Mare
Island, Miner was one of the four
Rough Rider aides to the President.
He sent the following telegram to the
President on Inauguration day:
"Sorry cannot be with you; children
teething. Congratulations
Since the President was here Miner
became the happy father of twin boys,
and the President is aware of this fact,
which gave him much pleasure. The
President wired his thanks for the kind
congratulations of his former Rough
Rider, and said that the excuse for
attendance was good.-vallejo Cor

SHOES LOWER HEELED.

AS TO general shape, toes are little
more pointed, and, curiously enough,
heels are little lower.
In slippers everything is beaded, or
trimmed with great rosettes of chiffon
or net, with a tiny rhinestone buckle
or button in the centre. In strapped
slippers a new idea has come Out-a
slipper which is cut to give a double
strap effect, without the trouble of
buttoning those little straps. Two eye
lets are in the sides of these straps,
presumably part of the design, but,
too, mighty convenient to slip bit of
ribbon through to draw the straps a
little tighter.
Bronze slippers are popular, and tan
shoes Though they're a far cry from
evening slippers) will be strong again
in all the soft shades Russia leather
takes. But black patent leather is
worn more than any other one leather,
and white shoes more than any other
color, with slippers to match" for
the rest, and the prettiest of all is a
French invention-pale blue or pink
satin affairs, embroidered and beaded,
not only on the vamp, but with little
vine that runs all the way around the
slipper.
An engraved patent leather slipper is
q novelty that is stunning in the quiet
est Of ways. The design is made by
cutting part way through the enamel.
But slippers! The slipper world
seems to have run riot over all shoes, so
long as that one most important point
is satisfied, that the colors match. And

the impossible tints Of very definite

ABOUT CHILDREN.

Ten commandments for parents:
First-Be gently firm with the baby.
Obedience should commence in the
cradle.
Second-Insist upon obedience in all
Ghings and at all times.
Third-Instill the necessity Of truth
fulness as soon as your child learns to
talk.
Eourth-By example and illustration
teach self-control.
I /Fifth-Remember that children have
privileges as much so as you-indeed,
more, for they are helpless and entirely
under your authority; therefore sacred
ty respect their opinions and feelings.
Sixth-Never be too busy to talk, en-
courage questions, seek and give con-
fdence.
Seventh-Furnish place for every
thing, and require everything TO be
kept in its place.
Eighth-Demand cleanliness in per-
son, behavior and clothing-not spas
medically, but from the cradle up. If
neglected, see it DONE Touch the child's
personal and family pride. Put him on
honor.
Ninth-Never allow your child to
"answer back" until he is old enough
TO reason, then reason inteligently and
gently. 1t is his due.
Tenth-If you promise your child
punishment be as good as your word.
Fail to keep your word once and he
will never trust you again. But never
punish him in passion; you disgrace
yourself and break his spirit, also in
jure his body. To whip or otherwise
punish him while you are in passion
Is brutal and it brutalizes him, too.
