Sitting Cross Legged.

The next time you ride in street
car notice the number of people who
sit cross legged. 1t has been estimated
that four-fifths of them do. Probably
you do. A prominent London physician
has investigated the habit. and his ad-
vice is don't sit cross legged" He
states that the prime objection to the
habit is that the return flow of blood
is stopped at the knee, the result be-
ing that the veins in the leg swell up.
AS all of the weight is thrown to one
side of the body. the under leg is like
ly to go to sleep. The body should be
equally balanced Much crossing of
the legs is also dangerous in that it is
likely to cause lopsidedness The
limbs should be allowed to rest easily,
so that the flow of blood is natural and
the body equally balanced.-American

Recognized Their Old Friend.

The late Sir John Steel, who was
sculptor to Queen Victoria. was model
ing bust of Miss Nightingale when
an officer of one of the highland regi
mentS which had suffered so cruelty in
the CriInea heard that the bust had
Just been completed and was in Sir
Johns studio Many of the men in his
company had passed through the hos
pital ut Scutari. and he obtained per
mission from the sculptor to bring
some Of them to see it, Accordingly Il
squad of men one day marched into
the studio and stood in line. They had
no idea why they had been mustered
in SO strange place. Without word
of warming the bust was uncovered.
and then. as by one impulse, the men
broke rank and with cries of Miss
Nightingale, Miss Nightingale"' sur
rounded the model and. with hats off,
cheered the figure of their devoted
nurse until the roof rang. SO spOn-
taneous and hearty and SO inspiring
was the whole scene that in after
days Sir John Steel declared it to be
the greatest compliment of his life.

Two Rules of Life.

Here is man whose guiding princi-
pie is hate He is forever trying to
punish somebody for some real or fam
cied grievance. He will spend money
and thought and time to bring cOnfu-
sion upon some one whom he chooses
to regard as an enemy, money and
thought and time which he might EN-
ploy in advancing his own fortunes or
in nobler effort When he succeeds in
his end he seems to take brief salts
faction in his work. but he does not
impress us as happy man. He soon
forgetS all about the punished enemy
and casts about for Il new one to pun
ish When he fails in his end and his
enemy escapes or Furnishes him he is
very much cast down.

REALLY opposite passion to the one this
man has selected as your guiding prin-

BRE|TUNG PURCHASE
TO TEST SHIP SALE
Allies Will Not Recognize That
DdCia Has Changed Hands.

WASHINGTON - Action that is
British and French attitude toward the
sale of Austrian and German mer
Grant vessels tied up in American
ports since the outbreak of the war
was taken in the granting of Ameri
can registry to the steam ship Dacia,
formerly of the Hamburg-American
line and recently purchased by Ed
ward N. Breitung of Michigan.
The admission of the Dacia tc
American registry was granted by the
department of commerce after all OF
the facts regarding her purchase han
been laid before officials here. 1t is
proposed to send the Dacia to Bremen
in about two weeks with a cargo OF
cotton from Galveston. She is now at
Port Arthur, Tex.
The expectation here is that the
Dacia will promptly be seized by Brit
ish or French cruisers as soon as she
appears in European waters. It is be-
lieved that the British and certainly
the French will enter the case before
a prize court on the ground that she
is an enemy vessel, her sale after the
outbreak of hostilities being void
THUS a test case will be instituted and
inasmuch as similar questions are in,
viewed in the presidents ship pur
CHASE plan it is likely the proceedings
anticipated in the case of the Dacia
will have unusual interest and sig
nificance here. 1t is understood the
purchasers of the Dacia are expecting

GERMAN FLEET IN
 THE GULF OF RIGA
kaiser's Warships Engaged In a Bat tie With Czar's Naval Forces
 Reports PetrOgrad

Petrograd, Aug. 20, via London Aug. 2l, a. m.-A German fleet has penetrated the Gulf of Riga and is engaged with Russian warships de- lending the coast, according to an of fcial statement issued tonight at the Russian war office. The cOmmunica- tion follows:-
 Strong forces of the German fleet have penetrated Of the Gulf of Riga and fighting with our ships contin- ues.
 The forcing of the Cuff of Riga by the German fleet can mean nothing less than an attempt to reduce Riga land troops and complete all prepar- atiOns for march on PettrOgrad. Teutonic forces are now but a few miles from Riga, one or the most i'm rortant naval bases and commercial ports of Russia, and but 800 miles southwest of the Russian capital The taking of Riga would afford a n?ost convenient landing place for the supply of the invading forces with provisions and munitions and would relieve the strain on overland trans rortation.
 
 naval forces in the Gulf must be de- stroyed and Germany should not find this very difficult as she can bring an enormous superiority in ships and guns over anything that Russia has in those waters.
 The recent naval operations appear to have been merely a reconnoitering expedition as the Germans have claimed officially. That they have now forced the Gulf or Riga proves this. With the fall Of this port Ger many undoubtedly will next attempt to sweep through the entrance to the Gulf of Finland and act conjointly with her armies in an advance on PetrOgrad.
 Apparently Russia expected the fall of Riga as the civil population evac- Gated the town some time ago and everything of value to the enemy was removed. The British consul left the city week ago.

''FETE OF NATIONS"
 OF LOCAL INTEREST
Big Society and Carnival Event at Norfolk Next Saturday Will
 Attract Many From Here.

Much local interest is manifest in the big carnival event, ''The Fete of the Nations,' which will be held at Norfolk next Saturday, August 2S The Norfolk women have been preparing for this event all summer. The pro- ceeds will be turned over to the Sur gical Dressing associating of New York, which is supplying bandges for wounded soldiers in hospitals of the various nations which are engaged in the gigantic European struggle.
 Attorney and Mrs William c. Hungerford of this city are prominent ly identified with the affair. Richard P. Paine, former musical director at the South Congregational church, is treasurer, and Sidney Thompson of New York is secretary.
 Carl Stoeckel owner of the world famous music shed, has opened his spacious gr rounds for the occasion.

A special feature will be an elaborate pageant, representing the evolution of women from the cave dwelling period down to 1915.
 William c. Hungerford will be man. ager of dancing. He has engaged spe- cial dancers from New York, trained in the latest steps. Mrs. Hungerford will have charge of the French table, and has arranged for a display of French novelties and curios. The ladies will be dressed in French peas ant costume to represent various French provinces such as Normandy and Brittany.
 A fair will be in progress all day at the parish house, but the hours of the fete will be from 3 o'clock until mid night. The grounds will be brilliantly illuminated at night and the spectacle will be one long to be remembered. Choice articles representing many nations will be on sale at the various booths.

British Banker Coming Here to Rec

London, Aug. 21, 4:1O A. M.-"It would be an error to suppose the British financial delegation is going to America to negotiate a loan,' says the Times. Its primary business will be to rectify the adverse exchange rate and in the first instance otter methods probably will be inquired into in concert with American bank ers
 The policy discussed between Great Britain and her allies will be based on the power to send gold to the United States in such quantities as will assure the result aimed at, but it is possible the prospects of an American loan may be found sutfi- ciently attractive for that course to be adopted.''
