The Serious Breton.

The Breton is stalwart In stature and
stern and serious in disposition. He
has hewed his life out amid the serious
things and along the rocky roads. HIS
bronzeds face looks austere, but beneath
his blue blouse beats heart warm and
true. The primitive simplicity OF his
life and the intenseness of his religion
give the Breton short view of the fri
yolities of existence. He carries his
religion into his daily life and work,
and along all the roads are gaudy cru
cifixes. which the peasants never pass
without kneeling and crossing them
selves. 1t is characteristic Of all these
Brittany folk that they mind their own
business. don't know what the result
would be if you were to try a joke on
them. should be afraid to undertake
1t. Life is a serious problem to the
Breton. 1t is homespun for him even
though the rest Of France may be ar
rayed in silks. He has worked out all
existence against great odds, and 1t has
given him character and physique
which make him notable among his
fellow countrymen.-Frank Presbrey III

A SUMMER SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT.

In the August Woman's Home
Companion Fannie Merritt Farmer
gives a number of hot-weather sub
stitutes for meat. One such sub
stitute consists of cheese and maca-
roni croquettes:
"Break macaroni in half inch
pieces; there should be two-thlrds
of a cup-ful. Cook in boiling salt
ed water until soft, drain in a col
ander, and pour over two cupfuls
of cold water, to prevent pieces
from adhering. Add thick white
sauce made of two and one-half
teaspoonfuls of butter, on third
cupful of -four, one cupful OF milk,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful OF salt.

VIRGINIA HORSES FOR UNITED STATES
ARMY.

Virginia is rapidly forging ahead
as a horse market, and if present
signs count for anything, it will
not be many years.until she takes
her place with Kentucky andot her
horse-raising states.
A good indication of what is be-
ing done is the fact that orders
were issued by the war department
to Major David S. Stanley to go at
once to Milwood, Clarke county, on
official business pertaining to the
purchase of horses for the army.
The war department never buys
anything but the best animals to
be had, and money hardly figures
in the transactions. Quality is
what the government is after.
Maj. Stanley will look over
large number of first-class animals
that are to be purchased for the
war department, and he feels GER
tain that he will be able to get
what the department wants at Mil
wood

IA watch may need cleaning when
n l. not dirty at ALL" said a watch;
maker, quoted in the Washington Post.
"This sometimes accounts for great
deal of misunderstanding between the
owner of a new watch and the watch
maker to whom it is brought for ex-
animation. Furthermore, a watch
which. has never been worn may need
cleaning.
"a common reason is that oil In
watch may have dried up around the
pivot and become sticky, thus causing
q watch to 60 very slowly or stop en-
tirely, I'm which case of course it needs
not only cleaning, but the addition of
fresh OIL
sThe oil which Is considered best
for watches is made from the porpoise
or blackfish jawbone. These oils have
a most disagreeable Odor and have to
be treated chemically before being
used.
sThe skeleton of the fish, with only
the head left on, Is hung In the hot
sun for several days and the oil al
loves to ooze out slowly. All the
volatile parts of the oil are naturally
neutralized in this manner, and the
oil collected is said to remain fluid and
clear when 1t comes In contact with
metal for as long as ten years.
"Makers of chronometers are espe-
cially scrupulous in the preparation OF
oils, owing to the accuracy which Is
demanded of these delicate tlmepieces,
and often prepare their own oil by
mixing porpoise, sperm, olive and
neatsfoot and a small quantity OF
mineral oil. When these oils are
mixed, it is customary to keep them
in an uncorked bottle exposed to the
sun. This is done to allow all foreign
and coloring substances to fall to the
bottom, after which the oil is Uttered
through mixture of charcoal dust
and animal charcoal.

he WAS POOR ONCE.

The little hero of the following
incident did not belong to me. In
fact, from his appearance, | think
he belonged to no one in particular.
1 am equally sure that the
fact of his loneliness had no terrors
for him. He was a ragged little
urchin selling papers on a busy
downtown corner. A stylishly
gowned woman amid the hurrying
throng dropped her pocketbook.
Quick as a flash the boy seized it
and hurried after her. Touching
his cap, he handed her the heavy
purse.
She thanked him very graciously
and handed him a nickel. In a
tone equally gracious he re-
sponded; cav, keep your nickel, l

Old Trinity Churchyard.

There is no more dismal and hideous
sight than new graveyard full OF
elittering. obtrusive white monuments,
square. ponderous and costly. But a
burying ground which has attained
ripe age, say, a century or so, is capa-
bile of affording n distinct sensation of
aesthetic pleasure. Toned and tenn
pered by wind and weather into neu-
trail harmony. the intrusive lettering on
the stones half obliterated, there re-
mains no CHASTITY funeral suggestion,
but only gentle impulse to quote
Omar ON the evanescence of things.
Such graveyard is the old Trinity,
past which the busy crowds of Broad
way and Wall street surge all day. Il

SELECTING SITES FOR GyERNMENT.

1t has been decided by the super
vising architect of the treasury to
send two agents of that division to
Virginia, sometime during the next
week or two for the purpose OF ex-
aiming sites for public buildings,
bids for which were recently open
ed at Washington.
1t is probable that Agent Die
tritch will 60 to Big Stone Gap,
Suffolk, Wytheville, Covington and
Bedford City, and that c. j. Kemp,
err will go to Lexington andposslbly
other places.
The sending of these officials
means much TO the towns where
they will go. Their visits will be
to personally examine into the
sites that have been offered the
government, to satisfy themselves
that those sites are good locations,
and that the prices are right.

SOAP

Who invented soap? That this is
not a modern convenience is we'll
known. But just when it came into
general use is a mystery.
In Biblical times cleansing agents
were used. The books of Job and Jer-
emiah contain the word soap" But
this is merely a convenient use of the
word in translation. The Hebrew
word ''borrith," for which it was sub
mitted. is a general term for cleaning
substances. What these substances
were is unknown, but were probably
little like the modern soap.
Pliny speaks of the invention of
soap by the Gauls, who, however.
used it only as a sort of pOmade or
hair dressing. He also refers to the
use of both hard soap and soft soap
by the Germans. The use of fufler'g
earth which has saponaceous quail
ties, for cleansing purposes, was
known to the Romans.-Philadel-
phia Evening Telegraph.

BLACK PAPER-WHITE INK
Might Possibly BE Forced On the
Public as a Result of Increased
Prices

A complete change in physical COM
plexiOn of the American newspaper
is proposed by Wisconsin print paper
manufacturers. That is, they would
have newspapers in future print on
black instead of white paper, and use
for the type impression white instead
of black ink.
They claim that millions of dollars
may thus be annually saved, in dis
pensing with wood pulp, in assisting
in the preservation of the forests and
in reducing the price of news paper
to about one-half its present cost.
Black paper, they say, can be made
Of old newspapers and almost any ii
brous stock, while white paper re-
quires spruce and hemlock wood. The
matter, so is stated, will be brought
before the eastern manufacturers,
with a view of bringing about con-
certed action with the publishers OF
the country, but no positive steps will
be taken until the congressional in
vestigatiOn into the paper trust shall
be concluded.
1t is feared that the black newspa-
per would never become popular
White has been the universally &C
cepted color of newspapers for 50
many years, and black the universally
accepted color of the ink, that It
would be next to impossible to wean
readers away from the conventional
style, particularly when nothing bet
ter than the reverse Of it is Offered
as a substitute.
1t is true, perhaps, that the people
are not so much attached to white
paper and black ink, but they occa-
sionally wander away from them. but
when they do it is almost invariably
the case that they are led astry by
William Randolph Hearst.
This gentleman has tried all the
cOlOrs in paper, with the possible ex-
ception of black, and all the colors Je.
ink, with the possible exception of
white. There have been times, espe-
cially on the days Immediately follow
ing elections, when he must have been
tempted to try black paper, and his
reason for not doing so was perhaps
the fact that he could not find sui
fcient supply in the market at any
one time on which to run off his av-
erage daily circulation.
