MARKED CHANGES OF MOODS
vendome Column, In City Of Paris, Has
Had Many vicissItudes Since lts
Erection In 1906.

When the Vendome column was
created in 1906, it was surrounded
by statue of more than three meters,
representing Napoleon, garbed as
Roman emperor. He held in his left
hand a little winged Victory, in
bronze, the feet of which rested upon
globe. In 1914 when Caesar be-
came Bonaparte, the statue was
taken down, not without trouble, and
taken to the foundry where it was re-
cast in the form Of Henry vi, des-
tined for the Pont-Neuf. The little
Victory appropriated by some work.
men, escaped recasting. The statue
Of the emperor was replaced by
white feur-de-iis flag, which was
taken down in 1880. The following
year saw the placing on the monu-
ment Of another statue Of the little
corporal. Twenty years later Ma
poleon III decreed that the Roman
emperor should take his place in the
sky. Dumont, who was commissioned
to this work, executed the statue that
we see today. The last little Victory
was found and replaced in the im-
perial hand. In 1871 the Commune
pulled down the column. The statue
Of Dumont was repaired and erected
a second time on the reconstructed
monument on the 28th Of December,
1875. But the little statue of Vic.
tory had crumbled into the soil. II

SEE BEAUTY IN MusTAcHE
Ainu Women Tattoo the Decoration"
Both on Their Upper and
Lower Lips.

The Anus, the "Celtic" race Of
Japan, live in the island Of Yeddo,
although the race has become so re-
duced that there are now not more
than sixteen or seventeen thousand
of them left in the country. The
most noticeable popularity about
Ainu' women is that they have tat
tooed upon their upper and lower
lips what resembles a mustache. The
women are not considered attractive,
and their matrimonial prospects are
quite injured, without this decora-
ton. The mustache is begun when
the girl is quite child. 1t is done
gradually, a little each year, until it
extends partly across the cheek, the
material used being the SCOT from
burning birch bark. The face is cut
and the black rubbed in. Afterward
it is washed in solution of ash-bark
liquor to fix the color. The Ainu
women are usually finely formed,
straight and well-developed, with
small hands and feet. Their eyes are
a beautiful brown, their hair black
and most luxuriant, and their COM
plexion olive, with often deep, rich
color in their cheeks. The native
cloth-of which their garments are
made--is woven from the fiber Of the
bark Of the elm tree.

A BUSY MAN.
He Gets More Mail Than President
Wilson.

In the January American Magazine
a writer says:
"Spillman is the chief of the Of
fee of farm management in the bu-
reau of plant industry at the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t all sounds
inconspicuous enough. But Spillman
gets more mail than the president of
the United States. His province is
to answer questions. He knows more
than any other man in the country
about how to make the farm pay.
And so he doesn't run farm, but
tells others how. There may be
others who know just as much as
Spillman about how to run farm
IN a given locality, but Spillman
knows just what to do in any part
of the whole United States. Take a
map of the whole country, shut your
eyes and jab pin into any place on
the map at random. If you happen
to stick it into farm land Spillman
could go there, take charge of the
place and make it pay profit

Why Coins Wear Out.

In the latest report of the British
mint Sir Thomas K. Rose, we'll
known metallurgical expert, calls at
tention to the effect of grease de-
rived from the sweat of the fingers,
or from other sources, in accelerat-
ing the wear of coins, which is usual
ly attributed entirely to abrasion.
Sir Thomas says that the fatty acids
of the grease have a corrosive action
upon the metal. Copper in particu-
lar, even if present only in small
quantity as an alloy for gold or sill
yer, is concerted into an oleate, ster-
ate or other salt. Haagen Smit, Of
the Utrecht mint, found by analysis
that the dirt on a bronze coin con-
tanned Sc per cent. of copper in the
form of powdered compound of the
fatty acids. When the coin is han
died the dirt is in part detached and
the coin undergoes a loss of weight.
Gold or silver is not readily convert
ed into salts, but removing the cop
per leaves the less easily attacked
metals in a spongy form that offers
little resistance to abrasion. In new
coins the rapid loss of weight that oc-
ours is doubtless caused at first by
abrasion, but when the rough edges
have been removed chemical action
may prove to be of the first impor-
tance in the succeeding deteriora-
tion.-Youth' Companion.

GREATEST OF ALL IS CHARITY.
New York Paupers Contribute to Eu-
rOpean Relief.

On Blackwell's Island the city
houses 5000 human wrecks in the
institution known as the Home for
the Aged and Infirm, says Commerce
and Finance of New York. Broken,
bent, crippled men and women pass
their days there having no other hab-
itatio:.. Some of them are childless,
friendless, hopeless. Nearby is Pot
ter's Field for them to look upon.
There in unmarked graves they
know they soon are doomed to rest.
Into the house someone carried a
paper the othersday that told of men
and women, children and babies of
the land where Christ was born and
where Christ died being driven from
their homes by the Turks and of flee
ing over hill and desert half naked,
half starved. The paper told of a
fund being raised by the Armenian
and Syrian Relief committee for
them. Around the Home the paper
went. Old, feeble men clenched their
weak, shaky hands and cursed the
Turks. Old, wrinkled women cried,
cried for the babies of that far dis
tant land. Then someone, possibly
it was the aged woman who now is
ch al h11f W
years ago was an actress of promi-
nence, suggested that they should
help, that out of their hearts and out
of their hands aid should go to the
sufferers of Arabia.
The city's helpless decided to help,
to help by weak of such self denial
as is rare indeed. A woman of 70,
a slave to a drug, gave up the drug
for days that the money it repre-
sented might go to the sufferers be-
yond the sea.
Cripples ran errands with an eag-
erness that made up for tottering
steps. One woman who is feeble
minded, and almost sightless, and so
manned that to walk across the room
is a painful process ordinarily re-
quiring deliberation and concentra-
ton, earned 80 cents in this way.
'I'll make it an even fifty" she
mumbled, and kept doggedly at her
self-imposed tasks until she had II
cents more.
Men by the score refused the
weekly shave that is the cherished
privilege of the island. Each shave
thus cashed in netted five cents, and
bristling chins became the hallmark
of the righteous. From one woman
who has been in bed for seventeen
years came unexpected treasure-a
quarter she had been boarding for
months for some hidden ambition. .
The pennies and the nickles and
the dimes and the quarter given by
the bed-ridden woman were finally
gathered together and counted and
recounted. There was just $27-a
sum that will make this bleak win
ter indeed on the island.
If it is true, as we are assured, that
of the three graces of Christianity
Faith, Hope and Charity, the great
est is Charity how can the surpass-
ing charity of these most unfortunate
of the city's millions be measured?
