Our Early Presidents.

The roads leading to the homes Of
our early Virginia presidents were fill
ed with admirers, who arrived, accord
ing to the custom of the south, by
coach and chariot, bringing their horses
and their servants and staying some
times for days to cumber the stables
and empty the larder. Washington,
one of the richest Americans of his
generation, escaped bankruptcy, hav-
ing the fortune to die within three
years of laying down the presidency.
The others all suffered Jefferson paid
the penalty of fame by being literally
eaten out of house and home, and his
biographer's idyllic statement that mo
hard work was done at Monticello"
scarcely tallies with the assertion of
his daughter that she Ind her house
hold servants were sometimes called
upon to provide beds for fifty people.
Monroe said of his visitors that ''some
were bounties and some were taxes"
On the whole he thought that there
were enough of the former to offset the
latter, but, in his opinion, pensions for
former presidents were a necessity,
since under our republican plan they
could not shut their doors and refuse
hospitality to this sentimental horde
without discredit to the country.-Hel-
en- Nicolay in Century Magazine.

IL is impossible to say when dogs
were Hrst domesticated, but some Of
the earliest traces are found on 'Egyp-
t1an monuments. with figures Of dogs,
somewhat Of the greyhound type,
which date back to at least $500 B. @.
Even in those remote days the dog was
highly esteemed. Coming down little
later, we read that Ulysses 5000 years
ago was recognized by his dog Argus
after his swineherd had failed to do So.
Plutarch speaks Of Alcibades, who
cut on the tail Of his dog. and Myron,
the sculptor, immortalized the animal
BY chiseling his image in marble. The
Romans valued their dogs and kept
them for the chase and also as pets.
Alexander the Great owned a veteran
at to tackle a lion.

More Than Gratuitous,

AprOpos of the custom of some host
esses to invite professional artists to
their homes in the expectation that they
will amuse their guests free of charge,
a story is told Of Nine. Berthe Bady,
the famous Partisan artist, who was
invited to social gathering and asked
by the hostess to recite. She consent
ed. and then, in order that there might
be no mistake about the matter, the
hostess said:
How kind it is of you to work for
us in this friendly manner!'
The emphasis on the word friendly"
was so marked as to show clearly
enough that the service was to be gra-
tuitious After the recitation was over
Nine Bady took silver card tray from
a footman, and, initiating the musi-
clans in the cafes chantants, she made
a tour of the drawing room and col
lected whatever contributions were Of
fered, and they were substantial ones.
Then she handed them to her hostess
and left the house.

Sardinia's Great Festival.

Each ''pease', or village of Sardinia
has its annual festival to celebrate the
birthday of it's own particular saint or
some other church feast. The most
renowned of these is the fiesta" of
st. Efsio, the national feast of the
island. The ceremony is in the form
of procession from Cagliari, the chief
city, to Pula, village nine miles away,
with the return to Cagliari. The saint
was an official in the army of Diocle-
tan and for his conversion to Chris
tianity was beheaded at Pula.
At midday of May l the procession
leaves and returns on the evening of
May f. 1t is composed of a cavalcade
Of horsemen, all in the costume of the
ancient Sandman militia, escorting the
image of the saint, which is preceded
by musicians playing the launeddas,
an instrument made of three or four
reeds of different lengths and resem-
bling the pipe of ancient times.-Na-
tional Geographic Magazine.

Penalties For Maat EATING.

A most remarkable regulation affect
ing the food supply was one which at
tanned its full vigor during Shake
speare's youth and which, in view Of
his early familiarity with the slaugh-
ter hOuse-there are seventeen refer
ences to the butchers trade in the his
torical plays-must have been brought
particularly to his notice. This was
the law, first enacted in 1919 and ex-
tended in 1868, enforcing abstinence
from flesh for political and economic
reasons, not only in Lent and on EN-
Der days, Vigils and Fridays, but also
on Saturdays and even on Wednes-
days. The object aimed at in this leg
islatfon was the strengthening of the
British navy through the encourage
ment of the fisheries, the North sea
fisheries being regarded as a gold mine
which the Dutch were exploiting. In
1868 four women who had a meal of
meat in a London tavern during Lent
were set in the stocks all night, and
the woman who supplied them was set
in the pillory.

II is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astronom-
tcal, geometrical and geographical sci
ence. The first man who fixed his
star perpendicularly In the ground and
measured its shadow was the earliest
computer Of time, and the Arab of to-
day who plants his spear In the sand
and marks where the shadow falls is
his direct descendant. 1t Is from the
shadow Of a gnomon that the early
Egyptians told the length Of the year.
1t is from the shadow Of a gnomon
that the inhabitants Of upper Egypt

An Artist,s Loka

Holman Hunt, who began life as a
clerk to an auctioneer and estate
agent, was constantly drawing por-
traits when he Chould have been draw
ing up leases. and in his chosen pro-
fession he was never slow to seize the
flying moment The windows in his
room were made of ground glass, and
as he had little to do he spent much
of his time in drawing flies upon it's
roughened surface. A blot of ink suf-
feed for the body and some delicate
pencil strokes for the wings, and at a
distance the deception was perfect.
Day by day the number increased, and
one morning his employer came in,
stopped before the window and ex-
claimed: Il can't make out how it is.
Every day that l come into this room
there seem to be more and more flies"
And, taking out his handkerchief, he
attempted to brush them away.

Novel Methods of Warfare.


In ancient history there are two well
authenticated instances Of wild ami
mails being used by attacking armies.
The first is related by Appian when
describing the siege of Themiseyra, in
Pontus, by Lucullus in his war against
Mithridates. Turrets were brought up,
mounds were built, and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The peo-
pie Of Themiseyra dug open these
mines from above and through these
holes cast down upon the workmen
bears and other wild animals, together
with swarms of bees. The second in
stance occurred in England when the
Danes and Norwegians were attack
ing Chester, held by the Saxons and
some Gallo auxiliaries. After adopt
ing stoning and boiling water defenses
In vain against the besiegers the Sax
ons threw down all the beehives in the
town upon the attackers, who were
soon rOuted.-Exchange

Mild Ca&&an

A common plant which grows in a
score of shapes and sizes is the milk
weed. 1t is called milkweed from the
milky juice coptained in the stems.
Some bear white blossoms, others pur-
pie, while the stems and leaves have a
variety Of sizes and shapes. After the
blossoms disappear the plants bear
seed pods, which are the "hangars' for
the air scouts.
Each seed has set Of wings of airy
lint. As the pods ripen and break
open the wind lifts the light seeds and
scatters them broadcast
Nature came very near making a
substitute for cotton when she pro-
duced milkweed. In fact, the plant is
known sometimes as wild cotton"
But the lint in the seed pods has not
the twist Of cotton fiber and therefore
cannot be used for spinning. Never
theless it provides satisfactory down
for stuf1ng pillows, use to which fire.
quently it is applied.-Boston Journal.

History Made PaIatahIe.

Joseph Salvador, the French histo-

made their meeting at public recep-
ton the occasion for dispute as tC
the respective places which they occu

"The reading of history is like pill

New Zealand's Glaciers,

The great size of the glaciers around
Mount Cook, in New Zealand, has been
often remarked. The Tasman is eight
cen miles long, the Murchison ten
miles, the Cooley eight miles, the Muel-
Ter eight miles and the Hooker seven
miles. Most of these glaciers have
moraines Of exceeding roughness, but
the approaches to them are not steep,
as is usually the case with European
glaciers. The southern Alpine snow
line is only a little over 1000 feet.
Glacially polished rocks are rare. and
in many ways the mountains are sin
gularly different from those of central
Europe.

Gamers Are PeSSimiStiC.

That Gamers of tomatoes through
out the country are up in the air and
don't know just how they stand, was
the assertion Saturday afternoon Of
II. P. Strasbaugh, of Aberdeen, Md,
at a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the tomato branch of Ma
tional Gamers Association held in
the Hotel Emerson.
IF war is declared the government
may take oyer all the canneries and
pack its food" said Mr.. Strasbaugh.
"The farmers have made 80 much
money out Of wheat and other farm
products that it is very uncertain to
what extent they will plant tomatoes.
Tin cans are very scarce and the
price asked for sheet tin has advanced
so much that it is di fiicult to get
cans. The scarcity of labor also en-
ters into the problem. To run the
canneries properly the men interested
in the business must have plenty Of
labor. Everything considered the
Gamers do not know just how they
stand"
Those who attended the meeting
were from Maryland, District of Co.
