St. Louis Globe Democrat: Presi-

was an extraordinary event, amazing
in it's suddenness, spectacular in it's
setting, disquieting IN it's potentiali-

either monumental mistake or an act
that will fill glowing page in history.

ORIGIN OF KHAKI EXPLAINED
Dune oIored Cloth So Widely Used for
Uniforms Was Discovered
by Accident.

The dun-colored khaki so widely
used for uniforms was discovered by
an accident. For many years the Brit
ish troops in India wore a cotton cloth
of a greenish-brown, but it always
faded when washed with soap.
While talking over this defect with
some British officers, business man
from England said that a fortune
awaited the manufacturer Of cotton
drill that would not fade. One of
the officers, a young man, took the
hiatt.
When he got home he employed a
skillful dyer, and the two began sys-
tematic search for an olive dye that,
when used on cotton cloth, would not
yield to soap or soda. They spent
years in experiments, but without sue
cuss, and had almost begun to give up
hope.
One day, however, they found among
numerous scraps of dyed cloths one
that retained it's color under the most
severe tests. The puzzling part of it
was that this scrap had been taken
from a piece of cloth which had gone
through the same processes, but which
had failed when tested. For a long
time the experimenters tried to solve
this riddle. The one bit of cloth men
toned was the only piece that kept Its
color against all attacks.
Finally, by the merest chance, they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped had re-
manned for some time in metal dish
of peculiar kind. This metal, in COM
bination with the chemicals Of the dye,
had furnished the very thing needed,
They made the experiment with other
pieces; the dye held, and their for
tunes were made.

on awaking are yawning, deep breath.
ing, expansion and stretching. But
men rarely take such exercises. AS q
matter of fact, man possibly takes
more time, whines more, and does less
than any other animal between the
moment of awaking and standing
erect.
Although the stretch has been care
fully explained by science, few know
the real meaning. The stretch ex-
tends the body so that the veins, where
congestion is most liable to take place
and where pressure of blood is weak
est, are so elongated that the blood
flows more easily from the arteries,
where the pressure is strongest,
through the veins back to the heart,
and circulation is equalized and stimu-
lated.
The yawn is similar to the stretch.
The yawn is a stretch of the lungs,
while the stretch Is yawn of the
muscles, and both express a hunger
for oxygen. The half hour between
waking and rising should be freshened

Boston Art Acquisition.

The Zuloaga exhibition in Boston re-
suited in the sale to the Boston mu-
scum of Zuloaga's large group, My
Uncle Daniel and His Family" pre-
ferred by Mr.. Sargent to all the other
pictures in the exhibition. In the pic
ture Daniel Zuloaga, who in his day
was regarded as the foremost cera-
mic artist in Spain, is seen standing
before an easel, palette and brushes in
hand. The canvas is 115 inches wide
and 80 inches high, and contains six
figures besides the dog Polly, which
sits with it's mistress at the left of the
group. The picture was painted at
Segovia in 1910, exhibited at Rome in
1911, at Paris, Dresden and Munich in
1912, and at Brussels in 1914. This is
the first time it has been shown in an
American city.

Value of Fruit.

The value of fruit juice is well
known and it plays it's part in the d.
etary of nine babies out of ten, or even
a greater proportion; but fruit itset
is not so easy to pronounce upon. IL
is perhaps easier to say what to avoid,
and this includes most decidedly any
thing stringy or containing pits. Or
anges are quite good, provided the
skin of each division is removed; so
are baked apples and stewed prunes,
the latter passed through sieve so
that the skins are removed in the case
of children who are liable to digestive
disturbance.
Bananas are very difficult point.
They have been enormously given to
children, even mere babies, of recent
wears, and with>a carelessness which
is amazing. For everyone should re-
alize that the fibrous strings surround
ing them must be source of danger.
1t is also a question whether they pos
sess the nutritive qualities which en-
thusiasts have claimed for them. They
are, however, quite good for children
after they are eighteen months old or

WHAT ELECTRICITY HAS DONE
Commonplace Happenings of the Day
More Marvellous Than Tales of
ARABIAN Nights"

Aladdin rubbed his lamp, but the
modern man touches a button. Thanks
to electricity, the commonplace hap
penings of every day are more mar
velous than anything the hero OF the
arabian Nights" ever did.
~ Electricity carries our messages,
turns the wheels of industry, and as
well, turns night into day. 1t has rev.
olutionized farming and emancipated
woman from household slavery.
1t has been the keystone of modern
medical experimentation and research.
With it's aid the pain and suffering of
mankind have been relieved.
In the pursuits of peace it is mans
ally, but when the evil genius of war
appears it becomes brother to Mars.
Without it no airplane flies and no
automobile runs. On land it is SUI
preme, and on the high seas it's mys-
terious power lends eyes and ears to
the mariner in the blacklist night. 1t
makes the world only neighborhood.
Stop the flow of this mysterious
fluid and you plunge cities into dark
ness, check transportation, but an en-
barge on commerce and set everything
back a century into the days Of the
stagecoach and the packet boat.
Light, heat and power are trinity
that constitute the monarch of force.
Each by itself is q wonderful gift OF
God to man, but electricity, combining
the three, is the servant of humanity
in a thousand ways. Research,
though extensive, is still in its in
fancy.
Our greatest scientists, skilled in the
mysteries of this awe-inspiring phe-
nomenon, predict that coming genera
tons will witness electrical marvels
that have not yet entered the dreams
of mankind.
Terrible in it's unfettered power, cleo
tricity, when subjected to the will OF

Lincoln


Lincoln was an immense personality-ilrm, but
not obstinate Obstinacy is egotism-hrmness,
heroism. He influenced others, without effort I'M
consciously; and they submitted to him, as men
submit to nature, unconsciously. He was severe
with himself and for that reason lenlent with
others. He appeared to apologize for being kinder
than his fellows He did mercifu things as
steadfastly as others committed crimes. Almost
ashamed OF tenderness, he said and did the noblest
words and deeds with that charming confusion,
that awkwardness, that is the perfect grace OF
modesty.
As noble man, wishing to pay small debt
to a poor neighbor, reluctantly offers hundred
dollar bill and asks for change, fearing that he
may be suspected either of making display Of
wealth or pretense Of payment, so Lincoln hest
tated to show his wealth of goodness, even to the
best he knew. A great man STOPPING, not wishing
to make his fellows feel that they were small or
mean. He knew others, because perfectly ac-
quainted with himself He cared nothing for
peace, but everything for principle; nothing for
money, but everything for independence. Where
no principle was involved, easily swayed-willing
to go slowly if in the right directon-sometimes
willing to stop; but he would not go back, and he
would not go wrong He was willing to wait. He
knew that the event was not waiting, and that
fate was not the fool of chance. He knew that
slavery had defenders, but no defense, and that
they who attacked the right must wound them
selves. He was neither tyrant nor slave. He
neither knelt nor scorned. With him men were
neither great nor small-they were right or
wrong. Through manners, clothes, titles, rags
and race he saw the real-that which is. Beyond
accident, policy, compromise and war he saw the
end. He was patient as destiny, whose unde-
cipherable hieroglyphs were so deeply craven on
his sad and tragic face.
Nothing discloses real character like the use
Of power. II is easy for the weak to be gentle.
Most people can bear adversely. But if you wish
to know what man really is, give him power.
This is the supreme test. 1t is the glory Of Lin
coin that, having almost absolute power he never
abused it, except upon the side of mercy Wealth
could not purchase, power could not awe this
divine this loving man. He knew no fear except
the fear of doing wrong Hating slavery, plying
the master-seeking to conquer, not persons, but
prejudces-he was the embodiment of the self
denial, the courage, the hope and the nobility of
nation. He spoke not to infame, not to upbrad,
but to convince. He raised his hands, not to
strike, but in benediction. He longed to pardon.
He loved to see the pearls of joy on the cheeks of
wife whose husband he had rescued from death
Lincoln was the grandest figure of the civil
war. He is the gentlest memory of our world.

Abraham Lincoln.

No name OF mortal man commands more of
reverence than that Of Abraham Lincoln, the
anniversary OF whose birth is observed today. The
language has been ransacked in search of words
to embody encomums for him, and many a
chaplet OF glowing eloquence has been woven by
gifted orator or inspired writer in praise of his
memory and achievements. Yet Lincoln was a
plain man, simple and just moving always, as he
himself expressed it, to "the right as God gives
US to see the right" In this simplicity of thought
and act, in speech and manner, dwet the majesty
of the living Lincoln, and from it springs the
grandeur of his memory.
1t is we'll for Americans to pause today, not
only 10 honor this great American, but to con-
slider we'll the quiet dignity and steadfastness of
his corse. Soberness in counsel, elaboration in
judgment, and calm determination in action char
acterizod Lincoln and his example is the greatest
heritage Of his countrymen. Let US recall and
adopt the advice he gave at Gettysburg, and dedi-
cate ourselves as he did then to the never finished
work Of building up the republic, that govern
ment Of the people, for the people, and by the
people, shall not perish from the earth" To
build on principles Of eternal justice stronger
and more serviceable government, that should
be an inspiration to all the ages, was Lincoln's
destiny. Il is our duty to set the mark still
higher, and in working to that end we are in some
sense approaching the greatness OF Abraham

Heroic Treatment Of Idlers.

Every wide-awake city learns something from
its wide-awake neighbors. Each in their way
seek to solve various Problems of municipal life.
A multitude Of minds and energies are brought
to bear upon them. and the results make for
general betterment. Just now Baltimore is grip
ping the problem Of idleness without gloves.
Work at reasonable wages is provided for all
desiring work Those who will not work and
crmber the sunny side Of the streets are given
the option Of the workhouse and compulsory
work or move on" Similar treatment for chronic
loafing has been tried in many communities where
idlers congregate and found to work satisfactor-
lily. Little actual work accrues from the treat
ment The gain is in good radiance. The COM
munity profits by the absence of undesirables and
petty crimes are reduced in the same ratio. Hon
esty, industry and thrift advance in proportion
to the vigor and persistence Of the treatment
liberal dose Of the Baltimore medicine is much
desired IN Omaha. The need of it is evident IN
loaterdom. Nothing short of compulsory work
will relieve the congestion Of idlers in certain
quarters and promote public safety, health and
higher community life.
