One Of the Lost Trlbes7
Possibly the most plausible theory
as to the descent of the Hawaiians and
the other branches Of the Polynesian
race is that they originally sprang
from some of the lost tribes of Israel,
who in some unaccountable manner
reached the shores Of the great west
ern ocean in their migrations and pop
ulated certain of its islands.
In support Of this theory, which
gradually is coming to be accepted
among scholars, are numerous ancient
legends which have been handed down
by word Of mouth for centuries. OF
these not the least interesting is the

NOVEL SALAD WRINKLE
TOMATOES AND cucUMBERs ARE
PoACHED WHOLE.
Makes the Latter Easier Of Digestion,
and Does Away With the Fear Of
Germs Proper Method
Of Serving.

Poaching whole tomatoes and Gu.
cumbers before serving them as
salad is one of the latest culinary
wrinkles. The idea appeals especially
to persons suffering from an Unborn
fear Of germs as well as those who
cannot easily digest raw vegetables.
The poaching process effectually set
ties the germ question and It is claimed
renders these two favorite salad vege.
tables more digestible than In their
raw state. If the water is boiling
when the vegetables are put in they
may be removed at the end OF seven
minutes. They are then ready to be
drained and chilled, the skin Of the
tomato being at once pulled of.
Tomatoes are immersed in the boil
Ing water without being cut, but Gu.
cumbers should be thinly pared. A bay
leaf, sliced onion and little vinegar
are often added to the water In which
these vegetables are poached, result
Ing in a delicate addition to their nat
ural flavor. The tomato gives little
evidence that 1t has been poached, but
In the case Of the cucumber while the
flavor is not changed, the texture Of
the pulp is slightly different.
A poached cucumber should not be
served In thin slices, as is the custom
with the uncooked vegetable, as 1t
lacks the crispness which is one Of its
chief charms 1t may, however, be
sliced, provided the slices are not de-
tached and the cucumber left in its
original shape and laid on a bed Of
chopped ice. II the cucumber is pared

FAMOUS SOLDIER A sERvIAN
Alexander the Great Formed His In
vincible Army Of Natives Of
That Country.

|, The student Of ancient history,
reveling in the triumphs of Alexander
the Great, never thinks of linking his
mighty name with that of the little
kingdom of Servia, the fires of whose
internal troubles have set all the
world ablaze. Yet 1t was from that
small but explosive land that there
once marched forth to the conquest Of
the world little army Of 10000 men;
and, having completed that conquest
on schedule time, SO to speak, their
leader sighed because there were no
more worlds to conquer.
Alexander the Great was a Servian-
that is, he was native Of the country
that is now Servia. His army was
made up almost entirely Of ancient
Servians. His mothers family came
from the region up around that turbu-
lent but much-coveted district of Novi.
Bazaar, and it was from the mountains
lying between the Mediterranean and
the middle Danube, and the valleys
on their northern slopes, that he drew
the flower of that 10000 who marched
to the barbicans of China and the
sources of the Indus.
It Is a stern, rock-bound country
this Servia, better fitted for growing
soldiers than cereals. There has al
ways remained just enough Of the bar
barian about the mountaineers Of the
country to make them ideal warriors
Philip Of Macedon brought them down
to the Mediterranean coast and routed
the polished Greeks with them-in
cluding the eloquent but timid Demos
thenes-and then, instilling Just
enough of Greek culture beneath theil
Berserk bosoms to make them fully
appreciate what the conquest Of the
world meant, prepared the way for hi!
son, Alexander.
That was the Servian Of old, alike
In many respects to his modern broth
er. The Servian of today a few year,
ago took up the sword against tn,
might and millions OF the Moslem EN-
pire as jauntily as his forefatheri
formed their phalanx and marched
across the Hellespont to conquer tn,
unknown and untold millions of Per
sia and the Indies, and more recentl!
he took up his rife against the Aus
trian Goliath, moved his government
back into the hills out Of range Of fire
and went 'whistling to battle, neve
asking whether the odds were twent.
or fifty to one.
The name Servia denotes that II
people were sprung from slaves
Their broader name, Slav, denotes tn
same origin. But, when applied to
people who for countless centurie
have fought against tremendous odd
for their liberty, the term takes on
new and honorable meaning, Just a
the term "whig" was first applied a
a nickname of derision, but later b,
came a mark of esteem and honor.
