No Place for Women,

Underwriters at Lloyds in London
were shocked to learn that the mill
tary tribunal had suggested the assign
ment of woman workers to replace
men fit for service there. There was
even talk of strike.
Edward Z. Nichols. a member OF the
directing committee, replied: THE
tribunal doesn't know what it is about
If 1t indorses this suggestion. Anyone
who knows how business is conducted
at LlOyds knows that it is seething
mass of struggling people. No woman
could decently take part in such work.
Underwriters are already employ
ing women as clerks in their offices,
and they are doing excellent work.
This. however. has been carried about
as far as it can be. 1t takes lifetime
to train men to work on the floor at
LlOyds. If more men are taken from
us. it will simply become impossible to
insure ships"

THERE'S NO FUN LIKE WORK.

1t has been observed that q boy
sent out to weed garden develops
symptoms Of heat prostration very
early in the forenoon. The same boy
can field, bat and run bases like a
fiend for hours at stretch and have
strength enough left to 60 fishing for
cells In the evening. An eminent psy-
biologist has discovered that 1t was
not all taking" The stimulation OF
the baseball game brings into play
certain physical and mental resources
which enormously increase the boys
powers Of endurance. ~
The lesson is obvious. At the farm
camp, reveille on the bugle, a spirited
march to the field and a carefully
schemed system of competition will
accomplish for more than a sermon,
a sour look or a scolding. Even the
isolated home gardens of scattered
troop may be united In a system
which will develop team work.

How Coffee Got Its Name.

Coffee takes its name from Kaffa, a
district of Abyssinia where it came
from and where 1t still grows in a
wild state. The story goes that In the
fifteenth century an Arab herder OF
goats, having noticed that his animals,
after browsing on the leaves and ber-
ries of certain bushes, became exceed
ingly lively and playful. was prompted
by curiosity to chew a quantity of
these berries. He found them of
pleasing taste and that they had the
same refreshing and stimulating effect
upon him. Having told other herders
Of this, they tried them In various
ways, until 1t was finally discovered
that the best results could he obtained
by making a strong infusion Of the
roasted beans in boiling water, which
yielded an aromatic beverage Of pleas
ing taste, which greatly refreshed and
stimulated.

Navy Older Than Government.

The United States navy has the dis
tinction of being somewhat older than
the government itself. for nine months
before the actual Declaration of indie
pendence congress authorized the con-
structiOn of two national" cruisers
and appointed a committee to purchase
vessels to form the nucleus of fleet.
Within three months Of its appoint
ment this committee got together Il
armed vessels and appointed person
mel Of officers, among whom was the
famous old sea dog, Paul Jones. Dur
ing the war of the revolution the in
FAINT navy captured as many as 800
prizes, but suffered so heavily that by
the time peace was declared it had al
most ceased to exist. A new start on
q more ambitious scale was made In
1894.

How Strawberry Got Its Name.

Two reasons obtain as to the origin
Of the name of the strawberry, one
that the name was bestowed because
Of the long stems which resemble
straws, and the other because Of IN
old custom of stringing the berries on
straws. The strawberry succeeds from
Florida to Alaska. and while It does
best on moderately rich loan soil,
yet 1t is susceptible to cultivation in
nearly all temperate or tropical eli
mates. The principal wild strawber-
ries of the United States are the Fra
garia virginiana" and the "Fragaria
americana" The everbearing type,
"Fragaria vesca," Is native to Europe.
Garden varieties of strawberries have
been derived chiefly from the Gillian
strawberry. "Fragaria chiloensis." and
the Virginia species.
