ReprisaIs.

Col. Richard WOOdhOuSe said In a
recruiting address in Lexington:
Nothing will stop the Huns bar
barities but reprisals. If Reims ca
thedral Is destroyed, let us destroy
Cologne cathedral. And on every ship
that enters the submarine murder zone
we ought to put Germans of high
rank"
Colonel Woodhouse paused and
smiled.
There's nothing like reprisals," he
said. "A tobaCcOnist sent q doctor
the other day ten-dOllar box of
cigars, saying he knew they hadn't
been ordered, but they were so excel
lent he was sure the doctor would en-
Joy them. Bill inclosed. Terms
strictly cash.
"The doctor wrote back:
Delighted with the cigars. Though
1t is true you haven't called me in, l
venture to send you herewith two pre-
scriptiOns for rheumatism and dyspep-
sia, respectively, that l am sure you
will like, as they have given universal
satisfaction to my clients. My Charges
being $5 for prescription we are now
quits"

fawn-colOred earth lay the city in all
its beauty, and in all its sadness" The
most striking feature is the long colon
made stretching from the base of the
Castle Hill up to the Triple or Tri-
umphal Arch at the eastern end, facing
the mighty temple of the sun. Beyond
is the Arabian desert, and there, on the
borders, one solitary column seems to
point towards the Euphrates and Per-
sia, the loneliest and saddest thing in
all Palmyra. Originally there were
four rows Of columns, about fifteen
hundred in all, but only one hundred
and fifty remain.
The chief pieces of sculpture had
been put into the barracks out of
harms way: one is very fine torso
of the God of Wine holding a drink
Ing cup, and another is part of sar-
cOphaguS with four heads on 1t. Near
the colonnade lying in mingled heap
were some beautiful specimens Of
cornices and capitals. The modern vii
lage is built Of miserable mud huts
inside the Temple of the Sun, and
much disfgures it; but this is of little
concern to the BedOuin.
Should the spirit of Zenobia still
haunt her ruined city, one can imagine
her standing beside the lonely column,
watching the steady advance of the
British troops across the Arabian des-
ert, and inviting them to halt and be
refreshed at her springs, and then

there, covered with jewels, she was led
by a golden chain along the Via Sacra,
In front Of the triumphant Aurelian,
whilst all Rome looked on and glOated
over the downfall of the great Eastern
queen. To return to our journey.
About halfway between Karyatein and
Palmyra we stopped for lunch at Kasr-
el-Her, an immense Roman tower or
Barracks. On it the Arab has inscribed
many "wusms," or tribal marks; so
that it has become kind Of standard
by which the brands on camels strayed
or stolen might be identified.
Warning OF the Bedouins.
That night our camp was pitched at
EIn-el-Beda (the white fountain), right
In the middle of the desert. In the
stiffness of the night I was suddenly
startled by hearing man shouting at
the top of his voice. Possibly the
Bedouins were attacking us! Joseph,
our dragoman, soon reassured me. 1t
was the usual announcement warning
DeUOuLLlS WIZ AA6hL DC AOuAAAAS 0OONS
not to come near the camp. ITO ev-
eryone who hears my voice, the people
who are camping here are not mer-
chants, or people carrying money, that
you should come near them, and who
ever comes near them it will be his
own fault; soldiers are guarding them,
and they have no other way Of punish
ing you but with bullet" Three
times in the night is this warning re-
peated, and they calculate that it can
be heard q mile off.
Next day we reached Palmyra the en-
trance is guarded by mortuary towers,
the "house of eternity" of the Palmy-
rene, Of which there are only couple
of dozen remaining Of the original one
hundred and fifty. Skirting the tOmbs,

Abdleations Of History.

Ever since dynasties have existed
there are records of kings having abdi-
Gated from one cause and another. Far
back in the misty past one monarch
gave up his throne because he was
"wearied with dominion" another re-
tired out of preference for the free
dom Of private life; third laid down
his crown because his schemes failed ;
still another abdicated in a fit of mel
ancholy: and there are two instances
in which kings left their thrones be-
cause they were unable to cope with
national crises.

IDENTIFIED BY sIGNET RING
Wearer Convinced Particular Paying
Teller He Was Man Entitled to
Cash Money Order.

Before the receiver can cash post
al money order he must submit proof
to the paying teller that he is tire
proper person to whom the money
should be paid. The paying tellers are
very particular about the kind of evI-
dence they will accept, for they are
responsible for all the money paid
out.
Some paying tellers are more par
kicular than others. Thus some of
them are willing to accept personal
letters and cards for Identification
purposes. But there are others.
For instance, a man presented an
order recently calling for $3.50. 1t was
only small amount, of course, but
the paying teller was very particular.
First he asked the man his name and
the amount the order called for. When
these questions had been answered he
asked the bearer If he had any letters.
Some were shown him. Then he want.

Origin Of Velvet.

Few persons realize that velvet
was developed and originated in China.
Thence velvet making was introduced
into India, and, in the fourteenth GEN.
tury, into Italy, where that sort of fab
ric especially appealed and where the
art Of velvet making reached its
height. 1t is said that velvet was first
inspired by fur, and that 1t was in Or
der to make silk fabrics on the same
order as fine fur that man frat set
his wits about to invent this.

SAVE YOUR BOTTLES IS CRY
Uncle Sans Home Canning Specialists
Say They Can Be Used In Place
Of Regular Jars.

Home canning specialists of Uncle
Sans department Of agriculture urge
every hOusekeeper to save bottles
especially wide-necked Ones-for put.
ting up fruits, preserves, jellies, jams,
and fruit juices. Saving Of bottles is
highly important, they say, as there
threatens to be serious shortage of
regular jars and preserving cans this
season.
The fruit products named, if sealed
with cOrks and paraffin, can be kept
perfectly In these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams. and preserves can
be kept even In ordinary drinking
glasses, by the use Of paper and par
affin. Fruit juices should be packed In
ordinary small-necked bottles.
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry and
evaporate all such products as apples,
pumpkins and squash. They advise
strongly that if containers are scarce
locally, those in stock should be used
to preserve perishable products which
have the highest nutritive value.
Nothing should be packed in Jars or
cans which can be conserved effective
ly in other ways.
Candy containers or other glass jars
with screw tops or glass shoppers, and
in fact any receptacle of glass, crock
cry or porcelain, can be sealed with
cork or paper and paraffin.
Large tin canisters or tin cans with
removable covers, provided the body
Of the container is air and water
tight, will be found useful in can
ming certain fruit products. Such con-
tainers can be sterilized and their COW
ers hermetically sealed in place with
solder or wax.

''Let me ses that signet ring on your

The wearer held up his finger so the

the latter a minute or so to declpher
the monogram, but this seemed to con-
vince him that the wearer was the
person he represented himself to be,
