The Whistle.

Have you eve wondered what
sounds travel the furthest? If you
live in a great city you are constant
ly enveloped in such a multitude of
noises that it Is very seldom that any
particular one attracts the attention
unless 1t be unusually sharp or stri-
dent, and although piercing, such a
sound is not likely to carry any great
distance. The higher notes are ex-
ceedingly penetrating for a short ra-
dius, and unquestionably more start
ling than the lower ones, but the lat
ter are much more far-reaching.
The ability of a sound to carry de-
ponds upon its vibrations, and any
one who has listened to the deep
notes of a pipe organ in a church will
admit that he could almost feel the
air vibrate. But probably a steam
boat whistle, such as are common on
the Ohio and Mississippi packets, can
be heard as far as any sound that
may ordinarily be met with. The
deep of it's tones floating
steadily out into the air, seem to
stretch away Indefinitely into space,
especially in the stiffness of a night
in the country. It is a sound that
cannot be mistaken for any other,
and when onc its acquaintance has
been made you will never forget it.

Another Insomnis Cure.

For sleeplessness fill a hot water
bottle and place it under the ankles:
it works better there than at the soles
of the feet. Put a rather small
amount of very cold water in another
rubber bottle and lay it on the head.
The cold water is more comfortable
than ice, which seems exciting rather
than soothing. At first, say a woman
who has tried this cure, / would get
to sleep in about an hour and wake
again as the water heated. The cold
water would have to be changed four
or five times during the night; then
once changing was enough, and now
If the brain begins to spin after / lie
down for sleep | put on the cold

ADELE B0AS COMES HOME
Went to Boston on $14 and Be-
came a. Waitress.
Returned Because She Cut Her Thumb
and to Save Her Father $1,000
Fooled Police on Train.

New York City. - Thirteen-year-
old Adele Boas came home after three
days of making her W way in the
world. This desire to strike out for
herself, to break away from the re-
straints of her home life to show her
mother and father that she was no
longer a little girl but a young wom-
an, was the sole reason for her leav-
ing her parents.
A single days work as a waitress
In a Boston restaurant was sufficient
to satisfy her ambition. A cut on her
thumb and the news that her father,
Arthur e. Boas, a spool silk manufac-
turer, mad put her picture in the
newspapers and offered $4,000 for in
formation OF her whereabouts, were
the finishing blows to her independ-
n career. The cut on her thumb
hurt so much, and as to the $4,000
reward-well, her papa wasn't going
to pay that IL she could prevent it.
IT Adele hasn't saved the $4,000,
she has at least created a complicated
situation regarding it. Two or three
persons in Boston lay claim to it,
while two of Inspector McCafferty's
men think they are entitled to con-
~s1deration because they met the girl
at Stamford, Conn, on her way back
from Boston. Before she reached
Stamford the girl had calmly faced
the police and reporters of three cit
les and, with that $4,000 in mind, had
succeeded in persuading them that
she never had heard of Adele Boas.
Adele's trip to Boston was pre-
meditated. She had been saving her
money for two months. She told her
mother and father that she was saw
Ing this money 3to buy papa a pres
ent," but really she was planning to
be Independent. When she left her
mother at Columbus avenue and
Eighty-first street she went directly
to her home alto West Eighty-eighth
street. Nobody saw her enter. She
took $14 from her little savings bank
and with only her umbrella as bag
gage started out to face the world.
Early next morning she started out
to see Boston. Presently she entered
the restaurant Of Mrs. Elizabeth E..
Upton at 624 Main street, Charles
town. Her attention had been at
tracted by a Help Wanted" sign in
the window, and after breakfast she
applied for a job as waitress. When
she left there Mrs. Upton notified the
New York police that the girl was on
her way home.

CIoisters of Westminster Abbey

CiOlSterS OF westminster ABBEY.
When Parliament reassembles a
question will, l am informed, be adj
dressed to the First Commissioner of
Works regarding the Chapel of the
Pyx in the dark cloisters of West
minister Abbey. This ancient vaulted
chamber, the opening of which to the
public has been often rumored in
recent years, was formerly the de-
posititory of the regalia of the Scot
fish kings. Some time ago 1t was
thoroughly cleaned out and the cleo
trio light installed. In the lumber
removed were many of the old tally
sticks with which the national ac-
counts were at n time kept, the
1mmoderate burning of which in a
small stove led to the conflagration
which consumed the houses of Parlia-
ment early. In the last century.
Another apartment mistakenly
called the Monks Cell-close to the
historic chapel has also been cleaned
out, and it is suggested that this and
the other vaults might be used for
the exhibition of relics associated with
this interesting quarter of the Abbey.
These include a stone altar, a stone
cof1n and some wooden figures of
Henry V. and Queen Elizabeth. The
Pyx chamber has from time imme-
mortal remained In the exclusive pos
session of the Crown, and it's massive
door, on the inside of which some
fragments of human flesh were at
one time to be seen, can only be
opened by the officers of the govern
ment for the time being.-London

Government.
Mehmed v. of Turkey was born No
vember 8, 1914. He was heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, according tc
the Mussulman law, as the eldest
member of the reigning family, ex-
cept the Sultan. Because of the close
surveillance kept over him by the
Sultan's spies, he is little known as
a man. He had his palace on the
shores of the Bosphorus.
He is tall and we'll proportional,
but inclined to stoop. His features
are regular. but he has a hooked nose
like that of Abdul Hamid. His eyes
are blue, and his hair and beard are
light red. His are very
gracious and easy, and he is exceed
ingly generous and kind. He is not
at all fanatical, but he is sincerely re.
ligious. He plays unusually we'll on
the piano, and is a great admirer of
classical music.
Like the deposed Sultan, the new
ruler OF Turkey is a good draughts-
man, and he sketches well. He has
two wives and several children, three
of whom are boys. His wives are
both highly educated, and are the
daughters of distinguished Pashas.
They dress at home in the French
