No Place for Women-

Underwriters at LIoyds 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 a strike.
Edward E. Nichols, a member Of the
directing committee, replied: 1.-The
tribunal doesn't know what it IS about
if it indOrses this suggestion. Anyone
who knows how business is conducted
at Lloyds knows that it is a 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. It takes a lifetime
to train men to work on the floor at
LIOyds. If more men are taken from
US, it will simply become impossible to
insure ships"

How coffee Got Its Name.

Coffee takes its name from Kaffa, a
district OF Abyssinia where il came
from and where it 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
ingIy 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 it was finally discovered
that the best results could be obtained
by making q strong infusion Of the
roasted beans in boiling water, which
yielded an aromatic beverage of pleas
ing taste, which greatly refreshed and
stimulated

such matters" Another authority says:

LeQueux probably has more sources
Of secret information at his command
than any contemporary In civil life, ana
for the last SIX years the British Gov
eminent Inns made valuable use OF MS
vast store of secret Information through
which LeQueux works as a voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeItzendOrE became an in

vessels to form the nucleus Of a fleet.
Within three months of its appoint

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 an
old custom OF stringing the berries on
straws. The strawberry succeeds from
Florida to Alaska, and while 1t does
best on q moderately rich loan soil,
yet IL is susceptible to cultivation in
nearly all temperate or tropical eli
mates. The principal wild strawber-
rfes Of the United States are the Fra
garia yirginiana" and the @Fragaria
americana" The everbearing type,
''Fragaria Yesca." Is native 70 Europe.
Garden varieties OF strawberries have
been derived chiefly from the Gillian
strawberry, ''Fragaria chilOensis," and
the Virginia species.
