The True Cure,

There are two ways of dealing with
the evils in the world which we Justly
derlore and wish to abolish-one, to
attack and try to break them down
iOrcibly; the other. to dissolve or ex.
hale them by the active presence Of
good. The former of these methods
appears so much the more direct and
obvious that 1t generally gains the
iirst place In our attention. We 500 n

exterminate It, we observe an unriebt.

GIRL 200 YEARS OLD
is LOST IN A TAXiCAB
Miss Artemisia of Greece Is
Sought i'm Gotham

Anybody who has Seen the head of
Greek maiden resting in taxicab will
please put it on his shoulder and carry
head-not to be ungallant-that has
been on a young shoulder this many a
day, for those lovely features were
shaped three centuries before the
Christian era, or about 2.2o0 years ago.
says the New York Herald.
Artemisia or whatever her name
was. had never before in all her life
ridden in a taxicab. Once she might
have seen chariot going so fast that
it's axles blazed all the way to the Pan
theon. but that was before sparkling
devices were invented. 1t seems that
a certain weather man fell in love with
her the other day and insisted on TAX
ing her to her home. She was wrapped
up comfortably, for her cheeks were
quite cold, and placed alongside her
master, and away they went UP Fifth
avenue as fast as young Phoebus could
have sped with the dawn.
Once she peeped out of the window
and inquired, Tell me, o man, if yon
fair fame be the temple of Minerva?"
at the same time making an inclina
tion toward the public library. How
long she rode none may know, but now
she is all lost. Once they may have
stopped before the cookshop of the
Helvetian Delmonicus, or WAS it in the
atrium of Sherripides they tarried? At
least the oblivion of the metropolis de-
scended on Artemisia. and probably she
is languishing in unappreciated soli-
tude.
She should be easy to Identify If yet
within the sight of men. Her face is
classic and her pose is straight. Her
hair she wears In a psyche knot. and
around her neck is something of an
ancient peplum and a boa of red mar
BILE Her, head seems to be of Parian
marble unlike that Of the chauffeur,
which is said to be of the finest ivory.
Wherefore, stranger, If thou behold
the lost Artemisia, take her up ten
Derby and carry her to the shop of
Caesar Canassea the Roman, who sells
ancient wares in the 479th house of the
Fifth avenue in this our Athens, and
he will give thee a reward.

CHICORY IN COFFEE is
OLDEST OF ADULTERANTS
Was First Used by the Dutch
i'm 1000

In some countries adulteration has
grown to dangerous proportions, and
the second international congress for
the repression of adulteration In food
and drugs, held in Paris. has been an
event of considerable interest. says the
London Globe.
At the recent meeting at Lille of the
French Association of Science, NJ. Dor
veau traced the history of what is per-
haps the Oldest known adulteration of
food-the adulteration of coffee with
chicory.
The name of the gifted inventor of
this mixture is unknown. but after a
long discussion the date of the inven-
tion has been fixed at 1690-when the
Dutch practiced il. 1t does not seem
likely that William III brought it to
England; but Prussia adopted chicory
in 1853, and the French, who did not
use it till 1771, have since then been
more active than any other people in
spreading the adulteration.

ABILITY TO SWIM is
CHEAP LIFE INSURANCE
Moral Drawn From Training
Battleship Crews

Rear Admiral Schroeder, while train
ing the men on the fleet down in Guan-
tanamo bay. has discovered that some
$500 of them don't know how to swim,
and he reports to Washington that
he has taken measures to remedy this
defect in their nautical education, says
the New York Times
1t seems rather remarkable that sail
ors, with large amounts of water al
ways conveniently near, should lack
an art which so many landmen pos
sess, especially it is an art the pos
session of which sailor is at any mo-
ment likely TO be in more or less des-
perate need. II Is a fact. however. that
seamen as class swim badly or not at
all, and the reason is not far TO seek,
for when one comes to 1iing about it,
a ship in motion is about the worst
thing in the world from which to go
swimming, and the sailors opportu-
mites for taking to the water. except
by an accident, which with good rea-
son he avoids as long as he can, are
much less numerous than those of the
man ashore. Out at sea there is none
at all, and while in port the sailor
is otherwise occupied-chiehy in
spending hard earned money.
Moreover, old sailors have been
known to argue that since for them
falling overheard usually means death
whether they can swim or not il is
better to lack a knowledge that only
serves to prolong a hopeless struggle
with the merciless waves. That, of
course, is bad logic and unsound doc
trine. but 1T has just enough of truth
In 1t to create something of plausi-
bflity to the claim. Admiral Schroe-
der does well to ignore that sort of
argument and to insist that his men
learn to swim. now that he has them
in water where swimming is a delight,
