MAID OF SARAC0sSA
Was tho Spanish Heroine Of a
World Famous Siege.
Her Brilliant Part In . Military Event
Which Has Few Parallels In His
tsry-Henered by q Crate
fui Country.

Madrid, Spain.-Every country II
tie world has its hero.nss as well az
its heroes. and its heroires of war as
well as those OF peace. While Molly
Pitcher. who during the revolutionary
war operated her husbands cannon
when he was stricken down, is justly
famous In American annals and cele
brated In prose and verse. the Maid
OF Saregossa is even more renowned
In her native country, Spain. While
PalafoX was the hero. she was incom'
parebly the heroine of the siege OF
Saragosse, one Of the most desperate
in modern history and equally daring,
Extensively and defensively. For her
brilliant services Spain made her q
lieutenant In the army and bestowed
upon her many decorations. Her name
was Augustine and as a girl she was
peddler of cool drinks in the city.
From the beginning to the end Of the
siege she was ever in the heat of con-
flict and her courage and daring
served to hearten the gallant defend.
ers In the darkest hours Of those
bloody months. She won the name La
Artillera from having snatched the
match from the hands of a dying gun
ner and discharged the piece at the
invaders. She died in Cueta, Spain, In
1857. at a very advanced age.
The siege Of Sarasossa. In which
the maid distinguished herself. was
conducted by the French in 1S0S-09
during the peninsular wax. Saragos
sa was one of the cities that blocked
the success of Napoleon's marshals
in subduing all Spain. On June Is.

force OF 10000 men. Its defender was

sEough to associate with himself men
of martial training and courage. But
while inexperienced in war. he had the
heart Of the warrior, and when the
French general summoned him to sur.
render. Palafox returned the immor.
tai reply: "War to the knife and the
knife to the hilt."
The Spaniards made a gallant de.
tense Of the city, worsting the French
in many a bloody encounter and check.

The Shadow Of Science.

Inc Shaoow OF science.
It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astrono-
mical. geometrIcal and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and tho
Arab OF today who plants his spear In
the sand and marks where the shadoV
falls is his direct descendant. 1t q
from the shadow of q gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. It is from the shadow Of
a gnomon that the Inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hour3 of
work for 4 water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is a lhurra stalk SUPPORT
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space OF earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land Of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the prim-
tive foot rule.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS

Miss Venus is a lovely girl: not

has she uttered. Just think. she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants in hopeless RACES. She
has to stand a bunch Of guff from Art
bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heather layman. When some low.
brow of brutal mien starts merrily to
panning and says her face IL worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning or that he has q waitress
friend who jerks q coffee jigger could

her out on flgger. she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sim
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes.

Chi1drenss Food

Certain little suggestions are always
to be followed when planning the die:
Of the little ones. To keep healthy
little stomachs in the nursery never
serve hot stewed fruit to the children.
Plenty Of stewed fruit and baked ap-
pies they should eat. but they must
invariably be cooked the day before
and dished up cold. The nursery 20
tatoes should always be baked or
boiled in their Jackets. Stewed and
fried potatoes or potatoes boiled with
out their skins supply starch, with a
loss of all the wholesome potash salts
that the skin gives out during the
process Of cooking into the white part
Of the vegetable.
