ORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY
Christian of Denmark Put Them Up
for Security of Dowry When His
Dauahter Married James III.

No other territory in the British en-
pire has q more tragic significance to
Englishmen today than the Orkney is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
tinguished victim of the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, 80 in number, Of
which only 80 are inhabited, are sep
arated from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pentland Firth, from six and
half to eight miles wide. They were
selected as England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field of operations,
but on account of their semi-isOlation
and the advantage of the superb har-
Dor of Stromness, in the largest island
of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles.
While the original Inhabitants of
the islands were Picts, whose round
towers and chambered mounds are
among the interesting ruins of this re-
gion, the Morse pirates secured a
foothold here during the early centuries
of the Christian era, and carried on
their depredations against all naviga-
tors of the North sea. In the last
quarter Of the ninth century Harold
Haarfagr put an end to the rule Of
the pirates, and added both the DIRK
neys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 1853 the Orkneys
came under the sway of the Scottish
crown, Christian l of Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
of James III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained part
of Scotland's domain ever since.
The Orkneys, which are the Orcades
of classic literature, furnished the set
ting for many of the episodes in Sir
Walter SCOTS novel, "The Pirate" the
character of that romance being John
Cow, the notorious freebooter born in
Stromness and captured off the is
lands in 1725. Another literary as
ISOLATION of the Orkneys and one Of
especial interest to Americans centers
in Shapinshay, the birthplace of Will
liam Irving, father of Washington Irv-
ing.

Old Wine in New Bottles.

What happens when the accepted
tune of a national anthem is changed
even with considerable care is revealed
by this from Tom Days column in
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: "As
the opener of the exercises at the con-
vention of the National Association of
Credit Men in Pittsburgh the words
Of America were sung to the new
music arranged for them. When the
applause had dwindled away, the presi-
dent arose and said: I feel that our
convention is never properly begun I'M
less we sing the national anthem. so
let us all arise now and sing ::Amer-
ica."' prolonged applause)"

Just by looking at him as he sat In

REQUIRES CARE IN MAKING
Tes, to Be at Its Best, Must Be Pre-.
pared Under Exactly the Proper
Conditions.

There is practically no nutriment In
tea, though there are small amounts
of mineral salts. The principal ingredi'
ents are caffein, which stimulates ne
nerves; volatile oils, which give the
flavor, and tannic acid, which retards
the digestion!
The Japanese have made religious
and aesthetic ceremonial of tea-drink-
ing, and, like the mineral waters whose
efficiency is found to depend largely
on the change and rest accompanying
their drinking, the afternoon tea has
it's psychological as well as its physi-
illogical reasons for the pleasant re-
suits produced.
Like all beverages which refresh by
stimulating, tea should be used with
great discretion.
Less tea is used to the cup than in
the case of coffee-one-half to one tea
spoonful as compared to one table
spoonful. A mild cup of tea well made
will not hurt healthy person, and, al
though the stimulating principle is the
same, tea does not seem to have SO d.
rect or so pronounced an effect on the
central nervous system as does coffee.
Children, people with gastric troubles
or those who are nervous should not
drink tea.
Green tea contains much more tam
mic acid than black tea. Be sure 1t
does not boil or stand on the leaves If
you use it.
Hard or stale water does not make
good tea. 1t should be freshly drawn
and freshly boiled.
Boiling any tea is crime. The caf-
fein is readily soluble and is quickly
obtained in solution. Boiling or long
standing on tho leaves only results in
more of the injurious fannie acid be-
ing extracted and spoils the flavor as
well as making the beverage more
