EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That II Be Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government OF the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at St. Helena before removal
to the Church of st. Louis at the In
valides.
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums, where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon III. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build.
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
Of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few.
1t is believed that ere long storm
will wreck the decaying building, and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban.
doned to the farmer and the herds
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur.
render of ground to utility, but it is in.
evitable. In world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum
bled into nothingness, there can be nc
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago;
why save Longwood?

SCALES ON SCALP ITCHED

Nettle Porridee.

Mr.. Pepys was RECALLED with nettle
porridge at the house of a friend and
found it very good" The same del
icacy Is referred to by Evelyn. The
nettle, in fact. which the ignorant dis
miss as an unpleasant weed, is cap
able of doing all sorts of things for
man. A Scott was able to boast that
he had eaten nettles, slept in nettle
sheets, and dined off a nettle table
cloth. And it is at this time of the
year that we should take our dose Of
nettles. Spring nettle tops boiled in
pottage, according to old authority,
consume the phlegmatic super1uities
in the body of many that the GOODNESS
and moisture of the winter leave be-
hind"
The nettle is not the only Vegetable
delicacy enjoyed by country folk which
never finds Its way to the townsman's
table. In Kent, at this season, the
early shoots of the wild hop are cook
ed and eaten as something superior
to asparagus. The plant needs search
ing for amid the hedges, but that, no
doubt, adds to its piquancy. Hop hunt
ers, however, have always to remem-
Der that the taking of the cultivated
plant is a felony. London Chronicle.

Is 1T RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA?

Men who play the willy game of poll.
tics have discovered that the best way
to distract the attention of the public
from their own shortcomings is to
make a loud-mouthed sensational at.
tack upon someone else. AS the cut.
fetish eludes its pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with the con-
tents of it's ink sac, so the political ad'
venturer takes advantage of the igno'
rance and prejudices of the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press TO
carrying CocaCola advertising. This
attack was made by POLITICAL 7hc

that the only essential Inference be

that the former contains only about

that the flavor is different.
The question as to whether t is righI

Solved the Mystery.

Comrade Bill Thompson tells story
of bad writing that ranks with the
Greeley classics. When he worked on
Philadelphia paper julius Kaufman
Dane, wrote very clever, forceful
pungent editorials. Kaufman's Eng
lish was impeccable, but his writing
was impossible. 1t seemed to have
been done with bent pin and an as
phalt mixture. George Kennedy was
the only man on the copy desk who
could read 1t. One day Kennedy came
to Thompson. shaking his head.
Its all off, said he. ''I've lost my
punch. read this thing of Kaufman's
with perfect ease until | got half way
through-and then | stuck. don't
know why. The second half of his
stuff looks just like the first half, but
can't read it."
Thompson took that manuscript
over to a corner By and by Thomp
son came back with lines of strain
around his mouth.
'Put it up to Kaufman" said he
Either he's gone fiooey or we have
So when Kaufman came in they
gave him his manuscript and told him
to go away somewhere and find Out
what it meant. By and by he came
back, smiling.
1T was easy, said he. THE sec

EARLY GREECE HAD RECALL
When Man Rose to High Power He
Was Considered a Menace to
State and Was ExiIed.

In the palmy days of the Greek re-
publics, many centuries ago, as his
torians tell us, when man rose to
SUCH height of power or affluence
that he became possible menace to
the state, the citizens took vote on
his case as undesirable" says the
Christian Herald. This was sent to
the senate and, If the vote was suf1-
GENTLY large and representative. that
body passed resolution in which the
too distinguished citizen was invited.
in polite diplomatic terms. to take a
few years of retirement ahroad-in
other words, he was officially exiled
for the good of the state. This was
"ostracism," so called from the fact, 1t
Is explained, that the voting citizens
wrote their names on oyster shells,
and 1t was instituted as measure of
security to the commonwealth. Any
citizen of great wealth or influence,
or who had large personal following
which might in an emergency, be used
to the detriment Of the state, was liza
BILE to receive this distinguished mark
of public consideration 1t. was kind
of primitive recall" which had the
advantage of being equally applicable
to "ins" and "outs" Those early
Greeks were wonderful fellows, and
knew how to deal with the knotty
problems of their day, which doubt
less included grating and other hui
man peculiarities not unknown in our
time If an election did not suit them,
or If any man swelled too far above
his fellows. there was always the level
ing oyster as a wholesome corrective
in reserve.

Height of Americans.

Measurements made of hundreds of
thousands Of native born Americans,
of all lines Of ancestry, show that the
average lies somewhere between s
feet tx inches and feet Z 2-3. That
is the mean height Of the normal adult
American male, and 1t Is substantially
the same, east, west. north and south.
Now. how does this American compare
with the men of other races? Is he
larger or smaller? study of the
figure shows that only the Scotch.
man overtops him. The Swede. a tall.
well made man. is nearly half an inch
shorter. So is the north German. So
is the Eikh. the tallest Of all orien-
tails. The Welshman is a full inch
shorter. The Greek, the Turk, the
Italian, the Russian and the Swiss are
tive inches shorter. The Pole Is three
inches shorter. the Russian Jew Is
four. The Spaniard and the Hun full
five inches shorter, scarcely come up
to the Americans nose.

DESSERTS OF FRUIT
They ARE EASILY PREPARED
AND CONSIDERED HEALTHFuL.
Tendency to Eat Meats and Other
Heavy Foodstuffs During the Sum
ner Months Is Rapidly Pass
ing, Says a Writer.

Fresh fruits play an important part
In the dietary of people of highest
culture and refinement, those who af-
feet beautiful and harmonious sim
plicity, combined with simple, whole
some and appetizing dishes. They
are a delight to the eye. delicious to
taste, and easy to prepare in divers
agreeable ways.
1t is a mistake to regard fruits as
mere accessories to idealize an other
wise too-solid and realistic dietary.
While fruits differ very materially
from such concentrated food as the
flesh of animals, they are akin to the
cereals and grains, and combined with
them will give every element required
as building material for the body; and
the fact that they are of a lighter,
less condensed form is evidence of
their superiority over the grosser ma
terials, too rich in nitrogen and flesh
forming elements when consumed
alone and in quantities that are in ex-
cess of the requirements of the indi-
vidual.
During the summer, especially, 1t is
very necessary to maintain harmony
and a healthy performance of the d.
| gestive func lions in order to become
one of the enviable serene, self-poised
individuals so rarely met, but SO
soothing and refreshing to the over
fed, over-stimulated, over-heated, ner-
yous American. who goes on eating
the same amount of condensed food,
\ regardless of the season or the phys
biological effect. In land where all
kinds of fruits are grown in such
abundance all the year, 1t Is we'll
that necessity is rapidly increasing
their use and proportionately decreas-
Ing the supply of animal food, this
forwarding the march of civilization
more rapidly.
Fruits are no more perishable than
meats. and have the added advantage
of being easily preserved In many
ways. without lessening their dietetic
value, though changing some of their
most active principles, perhaps Fresh
uncooked fruits should not be eaten
In quantity after hot meal, and for
that reason are better served for
breakfast fruit, or at luncheon. when
they constitute the principal dish.
At present we have the strawberry
pineapple, grapefruit. banana. orange
| and lemon In abundance. and at fair
ly reasonable prices. AS all these
fruits have rich and pronounced
flavor, one does not have to go to any
great outlay In making a varied mum
Der of very dainty and appetizing des
serts.

right now. Jim, go and phone to Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. East that we've got
those eggs they want"
And that Is the difference. When
the grocer knows what he can depend
on, he is willing to pay for it. He
does not have to hunt market for
his best eggs, any more than you do.
Another good way is to sell your
eggs directly to individual customers,
thus making the middleman's profit,
too. There are many people who are
willing to pay from five to ten cents
a dozen more than the regular mar
ket price for eggs that they know will
be fresh and good. A very good plan
is to mark each carton with your
name, the date the eggs we're gather
ed, and the words quality guaran-
teed." 1t does not take long to work
up fancy trade in this way, but of
