HERE IS HISTORICAL NINE
Building In Seville VerItabIe Store
house Of Facts Regarding Spanish
Colonies In New World.

In the historic city Of Seville, near
the famous cathedral and occupying a
frontage Of about 200 feet, stands n
building that Is Of paramount interest
to the people Of practically all the
American republics. Because Of the
contents Of this building Seville Is be-
coming the Mecca Of American hlstorl-
ans. The structure Is veritable treas
ure house Of authentic facts concern
ing the colonial period of all the
spanish-speaking countries Of the
new world as well as a mine Of lnfor-
nation relative to the early history
of very large part Of the United
States.
The house is known as the Casa
LOnJa, and the treasures It contains
consist Of the general archives Of the
indies, that wonderful collection of
unpublished, unedited. and for the
most part even unindexed original doc
uments, reports, letters, etc, which
practically embrace the administration
Of the colonies under the dominion of
Spain In all the Americas. The moth
er country kept in very close touch
with her children across the seq, and
these detailed reports, contracts, ced-
ulas and legal documents OF every
kind, as well as thousands OF letters
of ofiicials-private and confidential
as well as OF public character-form
an almost inexhaustlble mine Of his
tOrical facts.

CHINESE BECOME MOVIE FANS

China has capitulated to the picture

nese women now make attendance n

play Of their choicest and most beauti-
full silks and most dazzling jewels.
Instead of social functions at home.
with tea and music and that sort Of
thing, Chinese women who would be in
fashion eat large breakfast, adorn
themselves like New York society
woman bound for the opera and sally
forth for day Of watching the films
flicker.
"The motion picture craze In China"
said Ernest Young. who has been sew
eral years In the Orient, according to
the Seattle Times, "now has reached a
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
doll up at these exhibitions would
send their fairer sisters of other coun-
tries into Mysteries"
Mr.. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action In
their Aim entertainment, and gladly sit
in theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
more shooting the merrier the show.
The Orlentals. according to Mr.. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
"Chinese audiences" Mr.. Young said,
fare very demonstrative and, when tho
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands Of some Desperate
Desmond they give vent to their ap-
proval in rouslng cheers and wild ap-
plause."

Gam too later"
Dudley North had Travelled nearly a
thousand miles by land and water. He
was wearied and heavy-eyed, but he
propounded the query with mingled
sollcitude and eagerness in his tones.
Once the house he had just entered
had been his home and the servants
had admitted this old favorite without
delay. Dudley had hurried to the IL
brary, where Mr.. Veile, the family law
yer, and Doctor Parish stood engaged
In serious consultation. Both welcom-
ed him with a friendly handshake.
"Your relative has rallied" spoke
the latter, "but he will not last long"
HE may see his uncle?" asked Mr.
Veile. !
II see no objection. Mr.. Hardinge
has asked for him repeatedly"

the ear Of the young man, ''your uncle
is about to make his will. In the alb

Of choosing another legatee."

WILL NEED METRIC SYSTEM
United States VIII Find Adoption Aof
New Measurements More lmpor-
! tant After War, 10 Claim.

When the war is ended we shall
have greater need than ever before
OF an international standard of
weights and measures, says the Amer
ican Penman. The continent of Eu-
rope and South America use the meter,
the gram and the liter. 1t is absurd
for us to use the metric system for our
money and yet cling to the archaic
yard" pound" and gallon" These
terms are Anglo-Saxon traditions.
childish in these days.
The growth Of our large cities has
almost destroyed the old-time exact
appreciation of weights and measures
by our people. The latest generation
In the cities does not know what a
"bushel," peck" or quart" actually is,
nor do they know correctly what
gallon" quart" or pint" Is. Per-
haps only automobilists can visualize
gallon" "Pint" In big city means
queer, varying quantity Of liquid
held In bottle or pail. This quantity
Is rarely an exact pint.
The city population buys Its vege-
tables and fruit supplies mostly by
basket" or bag" without any regard
to the old "dry measure" of the arith-
metics. One OF the Queerest habits
that has grown up in cities is tho buy
ing Of such things as sugar and flour
In packages Of "3m pounds" EACH
We have chung to the pound" with
some intelllgence-because 1t Is vital
necessity In the absence of the more
scientific "gram," and the "mlle"-in
sheer necessity because we have not
yet the International "kll0meter."

English Women Help.

Over $4,000 educated women are
now employed In Great Britain in
dairy work, market gardening, poul-
try and pig rearing, Bookkeeping, work
In public parks and gardens, the cul-
ture Of special flowers and medicinal
herbs, gardening at the various royal
residences and country seats and or
binary Jobbing gardening. It is mar
velOus how women who knew little or
nothing about growing anything before
the war have earned substantial sums
Of money by supplying some demand.
One woman made $50 last summer
by selling small salad plants, such as
mustard and cress, spring onions
grown in boxes, and cabbage, lettuces,
ETC., to a military depot In her neigh
borhood. She had only tumble-down
old glasshouse, some wooden boxes
and seeds at her ommand.--Provi.
