LOST MONEY BY DETECTION
Baron NordenskjoId, Tempted by Of
fered Honor, Made Mistake When
He Accepted 1t.

When the late Baron Nordenskjold
was at Ceylon on the way home from
his journey along the northern coast
of Siberia he received a telegram
from the Russian government asking
him whether he would accept from
the ear a certain decoration as an
appreciation of his services to Russia.
For many days the famous explorer
wavered, as he was member Of
Bjornson's Antidecoration club, whose
members were solemnly pledged never
to accept any decoration from any
body.
Nordenskjold, however, could not re-
sist the temptation, so he replied to
the telegram in the affirmative. 1t Is
not hard to imagine his tisappoint-
ment when upon reaching home a
friend OF his, high official, told him
the following:
THE Russian government was we'll
aware of your antagonistic views IN
regard to decorations and had there
fore placed In readiness 100000 rubles
to be paid YOU in the event of your
refusing TO accept the insignia, but be-
fore paying that sum they wanted to
try your firmness. Russia is certainly
grateful to you for your failure to live
up to your pledge"

Panqs Of Poverty.

The eldest daughter had returned
from a finishing school and was over
at the home of some neighbors where
she once delighted to slide down the
cellar door and play Il spy But
now she V as on a more dignitied mis-
sion and was the center of group or
eager listeners as she gave vividly her
impressions of the year away from
home, remarks the Indianapolis News.
The mother of the flock was particu-
larly interested in view of decisions
soon to be made in regard to schools
for her own daughters,
After a few minutes Of enthusiastic
recital the visitor paused and her
countenanca, changing, said with a
sigh, 20, dear, but it's awful to be
poor"
"Why," said another neighbor, that
is strange remark after all the fine
times you nave been telling us about.
What is all the trouble, my DEAR"
"Well," Vas the reply, "lts just this
way. You see | must have dog be-
fore go back to school, and father
agreed to this all right, but says
simply cant spend more than $loO

Rjuht Childhood.

The first character of right child.
hood is that it is modest. A well-bred
child does not think it can teach its
parents, or that it knows everything.
1t may think it's father and mother
know everything, perhaps that all
grown people know everything very
certainly it is sure that it does not.
And it is always asking questions,
and wanting to know more. Well,
that is the first character of a good
and wise man at his work. To know
that he knows very little; to perceive
that there are many above him wiser
than he; and to be always asking
questions, wanting to learn, not to
teach, No one ever teaches we'll who
wants to teach, or governs well who
wants to govern; it is an old saying
(Platos, but | know not II his, first),
and as wise as old.--From "a Crown
of Wild Olives" by John Ruskin.

LONG 'NO-MAN'S LAND
FALKLAND ISLANDS NOT CON.
SIDERED WORTH POSSESSING.
Though Now Part of the British
Possessions, This Dates Only
From the Eighteenth Gen.
tury-Rivers of Stones.

The Falkland islands, which will
always be memorable in the history
of the war, were first discovered by
Captain Cowley in the days Of
Queen Elizabeth, but 1t was not until
1854, in the days of King George, that
the British decided to annex them.
1t was then found that the French
had established colony there in the
previous year and had annexed the
islands in the name of the king of
France. The British, however, later
came into possession, but were evict-
ed by the Spaniards by main force.
A war between England and Spain
was averted, and the English resumed
possession, only to abandon the place
three years later. Until the transac-
tons which took place between the
Argentine and the British governments
in the early part of the eighteenth
century the islands were a no-mans
land.
Lecturing before the Royal Colonial
institute in London recently, Major
Quayle Dickson, formerly colonial Sec
retary for the Falklands, remarked
that the rivers Of stones were con-
sidered by many to be the most in
teresting feature of the Falklands
They varied in length from a few
yards to two miles, and from dis
tance looked like rivers
There was no accepted explanation
of their existence, but one theory put
forward was that the whole country
(including Patagonia) was at one time
covered with ice. When the ice
melted these stones were left bare
and slipped down the hillsides into
the valleys where they were now
found. 1t was also suggested that the
bowlder streams We're due simply to
the natural disintegration of the solid
rock.
The blocks were not water worn,
their angles being only little blunt
ed, They varied in size from one to
two feet in diameter to ten or even
twenty times as much, and were not
thrown together In irregular piles,
hut spread out into level sheets or
great streams.
1t was not possible to ascertain
their depth, but the water of small
streamlcts could be heard trickling
through the stones many feet below
the surface. The actual depth was
probably great, or the crevices be-
tween the fragments must long ago
have been filled up with sand and
peat dust. So large were the stones
that one could easily find shelter be-
meath one Of them.
In some cases a continuous stream
of these fragments followed up the
course of a valley, and extended even
to the very crest of the hill On these
crests huge masses. exceeding in d.
mensions any small buildings, stood
as if arrested in their headlong
course
There also the carved 81. .ta of the
archways lay piled on each other like
the ruins OF some vast and ancient
cathedral.

GIVES WARNING OF DANGER
Safety Device That 1t Is Said Has
Been Trisd Out With Satisfac-
tory Results.

A device that gives warning and
stops the machinery when any belt or
rope is about to break is now being
used in a number of Idaho mines, says
the Illustrated World. If continued
use proves it to be satisfactory the de-
vice is expected to find place as
part of the safety equipment on all
belt or rope-driven machinery.
The device is able to detect acci-
dents before they occur because of the
fact that the breaking cable always
starts first with parts OF a worn
strand, and in the case of a belt with
parting of the lacing. The device de-
tects the loose strand or lacing by
means of delicate feeler rod of thin
wire supported from a pivoted bar in
such a way that only narrow space
intervenes between the feeler rod or
wire and the whirring rope or belt
drive. AS the strand or lacing unrav-
els it hits the feeler wire, and the
wire tilts the delicately balanced bar
upon which it is supported. Tilting
the bar starts the safety mechanism.
This bar has at its end hook
which normally is engaged with a
notch in a cam roller, and when the
bar tits the hook is withdrawn from
the cam roller. The roller is equipped
with weight suspended from it by
cord When the roller is released the
cord unwinds and the weight drops
into a glass cage, where it is caught
and falls between two metal bands ar
ranged in V-relation, but having
their ends spaced a little apart. These
bands are the terminals of an electric
circuit and the weight, when it is
caught, completes the circuit. A warn
ing bell operated by the electric Cir
cult is rung.

Mar and the Horse.

Farm and Fireside quotes American
. horsemen high in authority as saying
that about 100000 of our horses have
been sold on war orders for about
$100,000,000 since the outbreak of the
war.
Fully 80 per cent of the artillery
horses purchased were sired by draft
stations and were out of small mares.
The same horse authorities claim that
the Belgian breed in Europe has been
practically destroyed and Percheron
breeding stock has also been heavily
sacrificed for war use.
A representative of one of Ameri.
cas- greatest horse importers says it
would not be possible to find 200
draft stations suitable for export TO
America, even were expectation al.
lowed.
The cruX Of the matter clearly indi.
Gates that American horse users must
depend on the produce Of American
studs for draft sires for many years to
come.

MAKING MONEY WITH NEEDLE
Various Ways in Which Woman Who
Is Proficient Can Earn at Least
Part of Her Living.

The woman who is handy with
needle need not lack employment and
II she is clever in catching artistic
ideas she can make so much more
money in a pleasant occupation There
is much work to be done aside from
regular dressmaking, millinery and
knitting
For instance, the vocation of dress
making is as old as the beach sands,
but many odd time occupations which
are distinctly new have evolved them
selves from the seamstress' tasks.
There is a woman in one town who
works buttonholes. For many reasons
she could not do regular dressmaking,
but she takes in many penny in the
course of year. People who do their
own sewing but dislike the buttonhol-
ing bring the garments to her for this
finishing and even the village dress
maker often sends in bundle of va
rious garments to be "buttonholed" in
a time of rush.
From the easy buttonholes in lin
gerie blouses at one cent each her
prices range to two cents each in
woolen dresses and motor coats and to
five and sometimes ten cents a hole
in corduroy, fur and heavy cloth coats,
She charges according to material and
the time and skill required. She does
no other kind of sewing. She has
found it profitable to buy by the dozen
buttonhole twist and thread of the
right size in u variety of standard
colors, the price of which is included
in her charges. Buying by the dozen
she gets the material cheaper.
Another woman makes skating and
motor caps and bonnets.

Feathered Music Box.

For that dainty household pet, the

Effect of Polishing.

Take a piece Of cheesecloth, wrung
out in cold water, and clean the sur
face thoroughly. Then put a few
drops of crude oil on a second piece
of cheesecoth wrung out in cold wa
ter and begin to polish, turning the
cloth in rubbing in order to distribute
the oil and prevent the wood from be-
coming oily. Always rub with the
grain. This gives lasting polish in
