AMERICANS MOST UNHAPPY
This Is Because They Are Most F'ros-
porous, Freest and Most Highly
Educated Of Peoples.

We modern Americans are the
most unhappy people that have ever
lived on the face of the earth, be-
cause we are the most prosperous
people; we are the freest people; we
are the most highly educated. Misery
does not make people dissatisfied as
much as prosperity. 1t is not those
who are the most miserable nor those
who lack the most of social or ma
terial wealth whose dissatisfaction
over their condition breaks out into
revolutions for reform. Take the
great revolutions of modern history,
the French revolution or the Civil
war for example, and you will note
that the respective countries in
which these agitations developed
we're not ripe for revolution until
they had come to a certain degree
of prosperity, which developed the
idea Of personal rights and Liberties.
The main reason why, in my judg-
ment, there will be no revolution in
Russia for long time to come is
the fact that the common people of
that country are SO miserable that
they have been, and will long be, un-
able to develop a dissatisfaction
acute enough to break into forcible
resistance.-Leslie's Weekly.

A MEDICAL FREEzEoUT.

A new treatment for the sleeping
sickness is called the cold cure, and
requires a refrigerator with a hos
pital ward installed in it. The room
is painted white, devoid of carpet,
but made comfortable with table, a
deck chair and an electric light The
patient who submits to the treat
ment sits for hours at a time in the
ward, which is kept at a temperature
Of from 10 to 20 degrees below
freezing point. The room is y feet
by 9 feet, and has double wooden
walls, the space between being
packed with cotton.-Popular Me-
chanics.

PRODUCES THE SEAS COLOR
Changing Hues of Ocean Declared by
Scientist to Be Due to the Elk
lstence Of Salt.
associations

In its deepest parts the sea is in
tensely blue, but where it is shallow
it is a bright green color. This pre-
walls until soundings cease to be
struck. Some people ascribe the
blue to the reflection Of the sky and
say that if the green water which is
found nearer land were piled up in
a basin as deep as that which holds
the blue it would be the same color.
But the true cause of the difference
between the two is the quantity of
salt which the water contains. Some
parts of the sea are much more salty
than others and it is these which are
the bluer.
That the sea water is denser in
one part than another is the result
of evaporation, less rainfall and a
smaller inflow of fresh water from
rivers, etc. 1t is estimated that eight
feet Of water are annually with
drawn from the Red sea by evapora-
ton and it is not surprising that it
is salter than the Baltic, where the
evaporation is very small and where
there is an influx of water from va
rious streams fed by heavy annual
rainfalls.

cHARLEMAeNE's POEM.

Cardinal Rampolla, in answer to a
letter of inquiry as to the Charlie
magne manuscript which was recent
ly discovered by him in the Vatican,
says: "There can be no doubt as to
its genuineness. 1t is well known
also that he had often expressed him
self in poetry, and good example
of his composition and style is the
epitaph on Pope Stephen. The dis
covered document is an elegy on the
death of his son, written in Latin,
and when found was in two pieces,
the joining of which was laborious
task"

BETTER THAN SOAP
WHEN WASHING BLANK ETs USE
AMMONIA.
Gives More Practical Results and 10
Easier to Use--MaterlaI Leaves
Tub In. Excellent Condition,
Soft and White.

I Now the housekeeper must begin
to think of washing and putting away
the winter blankets, 1t Is a mistake
says an authority, to do the launder-
ing with soap Ammonia does the work
much more easily and makes the blan-
ket much whittier and softer than soap
can without tremendous deal of
rubbing and other back-breaking ex-
ertion.
Put about a cupful or more of am
monla into the washtub If single
blanket is to be washed, allowing
twice as much for a double blanket.
Lay the blanket loosely in the tub
and pour over 1t just barely enough
hot water to cover It, About two gal
Ions of water will be necessary for
every cupful of ammonia. Move the
blanket about with a wooden stick for
about ten minutes, so that the am
monia fumes will have a chance to
reach every particle of the surface.
No soap or rubbing is necessary ex-
cept possibly around the hem, as the
ammonia draws out all the dirt. When
the water is discolored and the blanket
is nice and white, rinse it in fresh
water. Do not wiring 1t, but squeeze 1t
lightly with the hands. Wringing pulls
II out of shape. AS soon as the blan-
ket is properly rinsed, hang it at once
upon the line, letting the water drip
from 1t while drying. OCCASIONALLY
while it is drying, squeeze the ends
with the hands, being careful not to
pull the fiber. When perfectly dry,
bring it into the house and then press
1t with heavy weights. if not perfectly
smooth. No ironing is necessary.
Some housewives dry blankets on
curtain stretchers. They say that the
blanket keeps its shape better and,
of course, there is no possibility of its
shrinking.
Needless to say, a sunny day should
be selected for the work. The more
quickly a blanket dries the less it
shrinks and the better it looks.
When the blanket has colored Dor
der, as it usually has, care should be
taken that it does not overlap, as the
color may run"

A SHORT LIVED ISLAND.

In 1867 a new shoal was discovered
in the group of the Tonga or Friend
ly islands. In 1877 smoke was seen
over the shoal. In 1885 the shoal
had become a volcanic island, more
than two miles long and $40 feet
high, and a fierce eruption was ia
king place within it. In 1886 the
island had begun to shrink in di-
mansions, although the next year its
highest point was 1926 feet above sea
level. In 1889 its height had dimin-
ished one-half, and the ocean close
around it was more than a mile deep.
In 1892 the island rose only about
twenty-six feet above sea level, and
finally, in 1898, under the action of
the waves its complete disappearance
was reported.

EnulIsh Cloth BaIls

A little different is the English
method of using homemade cloth balls
TO remove grease. Moisten a half
pound of dry fuller's earth in a little
lemon juice. Add a half ounce of
finely pulverized pearl ash and work
It into a thick paste. Boil into small
balls and dry in the sun or near the
fire. In a few hours they will be
ready for use. When needed moisten
the spot with warm water and rub
with the balls. Place in the sun to
dry and then brush off the powder or
wash If necessary.

THAT MEMORIAL TO PENN
Site Selected for II In London lie
Warmly Criticised as Most
Unsuitable.

The offer of the Pennsylvania So
ciety of New York to place a me-
mortal of William Penn, the Quaker
founder of Pennsylvania, in the
Church of All Hallow's Barking, in
the financial district of London, has
been accepted. 1t is now an undis-
puted fact that Penn was christened
in the church of All Hallow's, never
theless the choice of the site for a
memorial of him arouses criticism.
"a more unsuitable place to erect
a memorial to William Penn, the
Quaker, than in a state church it
would be difficult to select" says one
London newspaper. "Penn's core
ligionists-the Quakers-were perse-
cuted with great bitterness by the
Church of England in his day (;
thrown into noisome dungeons and
heavily fined.
st was to escape the persecution
of the Anglican church that Penn
founded his colony beyond the seas.
There are several Friends meeting
houses in London and various other
public buildings where an American
memorial to William Penn might
have been placed. This site is an
absurd one"

A TRIUMPH FOR SENTIMENT
artists Victory IN That There Was
No Thought Of commerclallsm
In Conception OF Genius.

Genius has its eccentricities, and
among those who came up to the
true definition Of a romantic and
impractical nature was the late
Henry Linder, in whose memory the
National Sculpture society held a
meeting recently.
There was a dinner given at
small club of which he was mem
Der, and to the feast of the coterie
he brought a wonderful bowl, made
OF plaster and colored to represent
bronze. 1t was a thing of exquisite
craftsmanship and executed in the
ornate style which characterized his
work. The fellow artists were so
impressed by it that they secretly
conspired to have the model made
into bronze and present it to him as
a memento of the occasion.
At the conclusion of the dinner
Mr.. Linder took his briar pipe and
smashed the creation to pieces. Thus
was destroyed a beautiful work Of
art, but the sentiment of the artist
was untarnished, for he had kept
from ever being converted to any
other use the object which he had
dedicated to that meeting and its
associations.
