REMINIscENcEs.

Offhand, one would say the greatest
pleasure of recollection lay in the con-
temptation of past victories. Man
might naturally be supposed to cher
ish more the thoughts Of the times
when he triumphed than the times
when he went down to defeat-may
be to defeat that carried with It the
worlds stigma of ignominious or IN
glorious There is something to be
said on the other side, however. To
have fought and lost, however over
whelming the defeat, however crush
ing the failure, is something that IS
sweet to us all and ever has been
True, the repictured scene when the
splendid machine-in war, sport, poll
tics or whatnot - went crushing
through the well ordered ranks OF
the enemy, rendering the foe as pig
mics, must be a shining panel OF mem
ory To recall triumphs fairly won
and hard fought, is indeed, almost the
acme of pleasure. Sweet is pleas
ure after pain, sang the mlnstfel.
Sweet. indeed, is the reward of vic
tory. What of the rewards of de-
feat? To go down fighting hard for
a good cause-no man can really fight
hard unless his cause be righteous, to
him at least-ought to constitute one
of the brightest achievements OF life,
rose in the chaplet not lightly to be
thrown aside.

Professor Paul S. Reinsch of the
University of Wisconsin, at home aft
er year in Berlin, expresses the
opinion that the victory of the Amer
lean athletes in the Olympic games
will revolutionize athletic training in
Germany. THE German system Of
athletics" he says, lis really that OF
the Turner societies, looking to the
collective effect rather than individual
superiority" However, he heard in
Berlin on all sides indications that If
Germany is to achieve fame athletic
ally the American style of athletics
must be gone into more generally. As
a result of this he expects to see
Germany more successful in future
Olympian contests. The professor
adds that there have been signs for
some time of a breaking away on the
part of Germans from the indoor sys-
tel of athletic training and notes
that many Germans are playing golf.

Then the empress spoke more softly.
Il understand that you often find
yourself in an embarrassing position.
But you believe everything that should
be repulsive to you. You yield to fiat

Ny dear, do not talk to me about

The laws of nature cannot be changed.
Some of the people will demand wa

could do would be to make some con-
cessions. Otherwise everything must
remain as it is. 1t must be 80. Do
you understand"
The czar seemed pleased with his
words. He leaned back In his arm
chair and added angrily:
Il have tried everything"
But cannot go on like this cried
the empress. Il cannot / am going

with terror
What can do? You must consult
the physicians
The empress looked at him angrily
and shook her head
Perhaps things will run more
smoothly when you will be a widow y
said the czar, rising from his seat and
running back and forth In his study.
That 10 nonsense" he said sud
denly and rang the bell, pausing In
the center of the room p0rplexed.
When the servant entered the car
shouted and stamped his feet. The
empress had tainted. She was taken
to her room and remained for q long
time under the care of her physicians.
The GEAR neglected all important af-
fairs OF state when the empress was
III. In the evening the minister OF
the interior arrived at the palace with
an important report. When he was
ushered into the cars study the
car shouted at him nervously:
For Gods sake leave me alone!
The empress is i'll! Do whatever you
like! It Is all the same to me-"
When the minister of the interior
offered a few words OF consolation the
car interrupted him:
Il know you! l know everything! I
know you all" and he waved his
hand.
The minister OF the interior walked
out Of the cars study confused and
Inundated.
And the minister of the interior
heard the car shouting to himself:
Monarchy, constitution, anarchy.
Even my nearest are against me-"
The health of the empress was shat
tered and for long time she was suf-
fering from a nervous breakdown.
During that Illness various rumors
we're spreading In the palace. 1t was
said that the czarina was planning to
leave the palace and return to her ma
tive land. It was then also rumored
that she wanted the car to abdicate
and leave Russia. But all knew that
she rebuked the car for his lack of
viii power and determination.

Today women wear dresses made OF
fabrics almost as inexpensive as cali
co was In it's palmiest days, and far
cheaper than it grew to be in war
times. But the cotton goods that have
been substituted for calico are not
used so generally nor on SO many oc-
casions, says the Cincinnati Times.
It is not only that the style has
changed, but the habit of economy
has also changed. The man who
would make close study of the ques-
ton OF the higher cost of living and
what has produced it would very like
ly learn something of value were he
to investigate the history OF the cal
leo dress and the true reasons for its
passing.

That woman who managed to keep
house at cost of $3.50 per week
might make at least that standard of

do it. Possibly after she has ex-

will pay more than that not to have
1t done in their families.

Seeking the Lost Continent.
rom the Rochester Democrat.

At.
Several scientists from the British Mu-
scum are planning for an expedition to
Easter Island. the most easterly of the
Polynesian group. and about 1000 miles
from the South American coast. The is
the map. lonely in it's surroundings, and
having a total area of only forty-five
miles But it is believed by these men of
science that this little isolated spot of
earth. just showing its head in the great
ocean, is all that is left of once popu-
lated continent. which was overwhelmed
by the sea following d great seismic dis
turbance.
What makes the island especially inter-
estinS and gives rise to the SpeculatiOns
of the scientists who are to visit it Is the
presence of over $50 images carved from
lava and stone, which evidently at one
time stood upon pedestals and were re-
garded as works of art One of these is
reported as sixty-eisht feet in length
AS there Is no metal on the island, and
the only tool found was Il prehistoric
chisel. and as the present water supply
would not furnish support for men enough
to drag the figures from the uuarres, the
theory is advanced that there must at
some period in the remote past have been
another continent there in the southern
seas, which was suddenly overwhelmed
This latter suppostion is borne out by the
fact that most of the figures are unfin-
ished
Investigations of this kind have their
value in stimulating men to unravel the
mysteries of the past and bring to light
whatever lessons they may have for us.
We are never too old to learn although
most of US would probably prefer to st elk
to the continents we have. with ali their
trials and tribulations, rather than go
deiNing after unknown continents which
undoubtedly had troubles of their own.

II don [ want any of your doggone tea

any consumer. I've been told by com
pe;ent authorities that it's impossible to
buy iirst-class tea in this country. The
Chinese don't ship their good tea to the
United States. They keep it for them

America. and the wholesalers dope these
weeds with pruss;c acid and copperas |
have heard doctors say that the worst
drink people can take is this dOped tea.
IT gives them the everlasting jumps and
all sorts of nervous diseases and sends
them to untimely graves.
IT seems queer thing to me that
people will swallow all these deadly
drinks. knowing them to he deadly, and
pay for the privilege. TO my notion,
coffee is the finest of all manufactured
beverages. a cup of good coffee makes
man imagine he is three-year-old
and .mpels him to elope with his wife's
cousin. But coffee is a mankiller Tho
chemists say it contains tannin and
nicotine and forty other deadly roisons.
Every man who reads the health hints
III the newspapers and magazines knows
that coffee is as dangerous as gasoline:
yet people go ahead drinking it two or
three times day until they are mental
ana physlcai wrecks. and then along
comes Woods Hutchinson or some other
great and good syndicate doctor and
points the finger cf scorn.
IF there is one fact we'll known in
this country it is that alcohol is about
the worst stuff you can saturate your
system with. We don't need 10 con-
