woMAN,s TRAVELS IN PERSIA.
Ten Days Ride at Hard Gallop on Gun
Carriage.

In times of peril in Persia the medical
missions have proved to be the safest
places not only for Europeans but also
for the Persians themselves. DIR. Emme-
line Stuart, niece of the veteran Bishop
Stuart, had a remarkable story to tell of
her own experiences when preparing to
leave the country.
The only escort available through the
disturbed country from Ispahan to Te-
heran was offered to her by the military
authorities, and she accepted it, to find
that it entailed travelling on a gun car
riage harnessed six in hand and that for
ten days double stages were effected at
a hard gallop, while the shelter of the
carriage formed her canopy at night
Dr. Stuart testified to the unfailing
courtesy and kindness of the officers to
the traveller placed in their charge and
treasured the committee as to the abso-
lutte safety of the missionaries during
this period of unrest by saying that the
mission compound at Ispahan was one
of the safest places in the city. In fact
members of the families of officers of the
Shah have in the last few months re-
sorted TO it as an asylum.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Hot Air ON Pixies Peak.

While hunting in the vicinity of Ute
Pass. above Manitou, Bert Webb, for
merly of the Colorado city police depart
ment. claims to have found a huge crev
ice in the side of a mountain from which
a strong current of hot air issues. Webb
declares that the hot air keeps the at
mosphere warm for a distance of sew
eraI feet from the opening. 1t is pos
sible that the opening leads into one OF
the many natural caves known to exist
in the vicinity Of Manitou.-Denver Re

Origin of the Term "Gringo."

To the average Mexican all Americans
are ''gringos." They are too polite, to
call you a gringo to your face, but
amongst themselves it is the term gen.
orally used in referring to Americans. II
is term of disrespect, just as 'greaser'
when applied to a Mexican, is an op-
probrious team. "Gringo" had its origin
during our war with Mexico in 1917.
Bobby Burns song, with the chorus:
Green grow the rashes, o;
Green grow the rashes, o;
The sweetest hours that e'er l spend,
Are spent among the lasses, ..
was very popular then, and our soldiers
in Mexico sang it on the march and on
nearly every occasion. "Green grow
sounded like 'gringo" to the Mexicans,
unacquainted with English, and they
quickly learned to speak of the Ameri-
can soldiers as ''gringos," and thence
forth this appellation has been attached
to all Americans. = Dillon Wallace, III

Farm Mechanics.

Farm Mechanics.
Every farm should have a work.
shop. The building may be large or
small. 1t Is not necessary to have 1t
very expensive. The tools may be few
or many, but what there are should be
good. No man can do good work with
poor tools, and good tools cost but lit.
tie more than poor ones. A building
10 by IL feet will answer for black
smith shop with small wise bench in
one corner. If this Is fitted with a
good chimney, forge, anvil, hammer,
tongs and good steel wise, considerable
blacksmithing work can be done to adj
vantage.
There should be small stove to
make the shop comfortable in winter.
This is very important, because there
is more time to work in a shop in the
winter, and you can't work with black
smiths tools in a frosty atmosphere.
Carpenters work Is different. A
carpenters bench may be placed
against the side of the building and
covered with a shed roof, for, if neces,
sary, carpenter work may be done out
side if you have covered place for the
bench and tools.
A much better arrangement is to
have blacksmith shop in one end of
a larger building and carpenter shop
in the other end, with partition be-
tween. There should be no shavings
lying about blacksmith shop; there
is too much danger from fire. For an
other reason, the two kinds of work
do not jibe well together. It is COM
paratively easy to keep blacksmith
shop in order, but there is a great deal
of litter about a woodworking shop,
and farmer never finds time to keep
such things neatly in order.
In buying woodworking tools the
best are the cheapest. 1t Is poor econ
6fny to buy cheap tools. Not many are
needed for common repair work, and
good kit may be had for few dollars
instruction books Oh mechanics may
help a good deal. The principles may
be studied out and applied in the
shop The boys on the farm take up
such things easily and often make
good neutrality-suspicious. Epito-

EDUCATING NURSES.

Philadelphia, the City Of Brothcrly
Love, has an exhibition of practical
bcncvolencc in the work of the Phila-
dclphia School for Nurses which is of
surprising interest to every one in
tercstcd in the care of the sick, the
education of nurses and the promo
ton of public health and sanitation.
The annual report showed that dur
ing The past year 1920 patients
were supplied with nurses, who 9TH
erwisc could not have secured skilled
nursing care. 1t was shown also that
in teaching facilities, available work
ers and numberof students, the school
ranks as the largest school for nurses
in the world.
Several large classes of students are
about to be enrolled in this school,
who will, doubtless, witness the eX
tension of the work of the institution
in accordance with plans now devel-
ing as a result of recent conferences.
A large number of free two year
scholarships are available to yom G
women throughout the entire country
preference being given to those living
in the smaller towns and cities and
the rural districts. These scholar
ships include room, board, launder-
ing, uniforms, all necessary mstruc-
