MISS ELl|COT ENJOYS
AN UNUSUAL HONOR
First Woman to Travel as Pas
senger Aboard Warship in
Thirty-0ne Years.

It was reported recently from San
Francisco that Miss Priscilla Ellicott
daughter Of Capt. J. NJ. Ellicott, COM
manding the armored cruiser Maryland.
was a passenger on that vessel on re-
cent trip from Honolulu, Hawaii, and
thus enjoyed the distinction Of having
been the first woman to be carried as
passenger on an American warship In
thirty-one years. In the early days or
the navy officers in command OF fleets
and naval vessels were permitted to take
their wives and daughters cabin pas
sengers on their ships in cruises in all
parts of the world, and not a few navy
romances resulted of that practice. The
privilege was abused, however. 1t is stat
ed. and was curtailed entirely in an order
issued by Secretary Chandler about thirty
wears ago. 1t is also prohibited by the
existing naval regulations.
Exceptions Made.
Like ALL other rules and regulations,
however, there are exceptions necessary
as in emergencies. During the yellow
fever epidemic at Key West in 1898 a
number of ladies in that city were given
permission by Secretary Long to take
passage on naval vessels to ports Of
safety in the north, and there have been
other somewhat similar cases. 1t is not
at all likely that Capt. Ellicott will be
taken to task for giving his daughter a
trip on the vessel under his command
under the circumstances. The Maryland
was on her way from Toxic for San
Francisco with Secretary and Mrs. Knox
and party as passengers. The Secretary
had gone to Japan to represent the
United States al the funeral of the late
emperor.
Invited by Secretary Knox.
When the vessel stopped at Honolulu
the Secretary and Mrs. Knox met Miss
Ellicott, who was visiting in that city as
the guest of her sister, Mrs. Kingsbury.
wife of Lieut.. r. S. Kingsbury Of the
Marine Corps, stationed in that city.
They invited Miss Ellicott to accompany
their party back to the United States,
and Capt. Ellicott was induced to COM
ply with their wishes. The action of the
naval officer subsequently was approved,
it is understood, by the Navy Depart
ment

ToIstoi Said He Knew It Spoke
Through Him.
HIS DIARY NOW PUBLISHED
Written in March, 1895, and Was
to Have Been His Testament.
SAID HIS YOUTH WAS WASTED
he Believed Himself, at Times, to
Be Medium of Expression of
Gods Will.

PARIS, December 7.-One Of the most
striking sentences in the diary of the
late Count Leo Tolstoi, which is printed
this evening in the Journal des Debats
as his hitherto unpublished testament
and was replaced by a brief formal will
dated July %, 1910. by which he left all
his literary property to his daughter
Alexandra, reads:
IF the people of the world wish to
read my writings let them dwell upon
those passages where l know the divine
power has spoken through me and let
them profit from them throughout their
lives"
The diary is printed on the authority
Of Count Sergius TolstOi. 1t was written
by his father under date of March -,
1895.
Count Leo Tolstoi asked that all refrain
from saying good of him after his death.
Interpreter of Divine Power.
Referring to himself as the interpreter
of divine power, he said:
Il have had moments when l felt my
self to be the medium for the expression
of the divine will. l have sometimes
been so impure and SO subject to per-
sonai passions that the light of this
truth has been obscured by my own OBJ
security, but, despite all. | have served
at times as the Intermediary Ior His
truth and those have been the happiest
moments Of my life ay God will that.
passing through me, these truths have not
been sullled and may mankind find in
them it's pasture. 1t is only in that
that my writings have importance"
As the Poor Are Buried.
The diary begins by saying that II he
does not make another this shall be his
testament. Tolstoi then requests to be
buried where he dies-if in a city in the
least expensive coffin and in the least eX-
pensive cemetery, 'as the poor are
buried"
He continues:
Let there be no flowers. no wreaths.
no discourse, and. if possible. let the flu
neral take place without priests and with
out liturgy, but If that Is disagreeabie
to those who bury me. then let me be in
tered with the liturgy, only as simply
| and cheaply as possible.
After asking that no announcement Of
his death appear in the newspapers and
that no obituary be printed, Tolstoi
writes at length concerning the DISPOSE
ton Of his works.
Willing to Abandon His Rights.
Referring to his unpublished writings
he prescribes that only those be printed
which will be useful to mankind He
asks his heirs to abandon to the public
the right to publish his former works.

THE popularity of the Southern Build
ing, at 18th and H Streets NV, is
not alone due to it's central location, its ac-
feasibility to all street car lines, its spacious
corridors, its efficient elevator service, or to
the fact that all of its offices, above the
ground floor, are outside rooms, affording
ideal light and ventilation.
There is a community of diversified in
terests within it's walls which fosters the
spirit of cooperation and reciprocity. You

that is. to renounce the authors rights.
After giving instructions relative to the
classification of his papers by his wife
and daughters. he orders his diaries to be
destroyed when what is worth preserv-
ing has been extracted from them. This
applies particularly to the journals he
kept when a bachelor. when. he says. he
led 1.-The usual miserable life Of young
men without principle Then he adds:
After all. let my diaries remain as
they are. 1t may be seen from them
that despite the platitude and misery of
my youth, God did not abandon me and
that as I grew older 1 learned, however
little it was, to understand and to love
Him."

SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO EAT
School Girls and Boys Need Lessons
In Mastication for Their Ston-
achs' Sake.

Nor is it enough that school girls
and boys should be taught to cook;
they should also learn how to eat.
Few learn this at home. They are
usually taught to eat silently, and not
to take soup off the end of spoon
or to put the knife into the mouth;
but the more important art Of masti-
cation is ignored. 1t is branch of
physiology and should be taught by
experts In the schools.
If It were, the next generation OF
mothers and fathers would know that
it is crime to let their children swal-
low food, particularly milk and cereals
and vegetables, before 1t has been
kept for a while in the mouth to be
mixed with saliva and made digest
ible.
If it were indelibly impressed on
school children that gluttony is vice
which defeats it's own end, that by
eating slowly much more pleasure can
be got from one mouthful than by
boiling a whole plateful. that this
pleasure can be vastly increased by
consciously exhaling through the nose
while eating, and that those who eat In
this way will escape the pangs Of indi-
tion--if these truths were i'm
pressed on every child mind, two-thirds
of the minor ills Of mankind would dis
appear In two generations, and most Of
the major maladies also; for the stom-
ach is the source of most diseases.
As Thomas Walker wrote nearly a
century ago. Content the stomach
and the stomach will content you"
