The Church of Gold.

There is no structure just like st.
Marks, in Venice, in the world. It's
bulb shaped domes and minaret-like
belfries remind the visitor of the orr
ent. It seems more like a Moham-
medan than Christian temple. In the
facade are scores of variously colored
marble columns, each one monolite
and all possessing an eventful history.
Some are from Ephesus, others from
Smyrna, others from Constantinople
and more than one even from Jerusa-
lem. st. Marks is the treasure house
OF Venice, place of pride as well as
prayer. The work Of identifying this
old church was carried on for five CEN
turtles, and each generation tried to
Guido all that had preceded it. The
walls and roof are so profusely covered
with mosaics and precious marbles that
it is easy to understand why st. Marks
has been called the Church Of Gold"

SOLDIERS UNIFORMS.

They Are Not Khaki, but Cotton O
d." or "WooI o. D."
In speaking of the uniforms worn by
the soldiers in the regular army and
the militia do not speak Of them as
khaki. It Is incorrect, says the Kan
sas City Star, because the soldiers dc
not wear khaki, and, besides, the sol
diers are not at all partial to the word.
The uniforms worn now are describ-
ed by the war department as Cotton
0. D." or wool o. D." The 80. D."
means olive drab and is descriptive of
the color of the uniforms. Cotton uni
forms are worn In the summer and
wool in the winter
gin, meaning dusty, and comes from
the word KHAKI, meaning dusty. 1t is a
clay or dust colored cloth, originally
coming from India. It was first worn
by the native British troops and later
by all British troops serving abroad or
on campaign.
1t was later adopted by the United
States government for both field and
colonial service because of it's service
able qualities and because it was sup
posed to make it harder for the enemy
to detect soldiers. The color Of the
uniforms was supposed to merge into
the color of the ground.
Khaki is lighter in color than olive
drab, and the khaki cloth is said to be
superior to the cotton uniforms now be-
ing worn in the army.

Galilei and the Swinging Lamp.

The boy Galilei, sitting with hun
dreds of others in the Cathedral of
Pisa on Sunday morning, saw an at
tendant draw aside the heavy hanging
lamp to light it and then let it swing.
Many other eyes saw the same thing,
but there was only that pair in Galilei's
head which really observed what hap
pened. He alone noticed that as the
swings Of the huge lamp became small
er and smaller they always took the
same time. He proved it by counting
them with his pulse. He had made
great discovery, out Of which grew the
pendulum clock and the accurate meas
urement Of time.

PERSiA's NATIONAL DRINK.
Sherbet Is the Popular Beverage. II
That Thirsty Country.

Sherbet Is the Popular BEVERAGE. In
That Thirsty Country.
The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet, which is plentifully supplied and
OF which there are many varieties,
from the bowl of water with squeeze
OF lemon to the clear, concentrated
juice OF any sort of fruit to which wa
ter Is added to dilute it.
The preparation Of sherbet, which is
done with the greatest care, is a very
important point in so thirsty a country
as Persia and one to which much time
is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the juice of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract Of
pomegranates, cherries or lemons, mix
ed with sugar and submitted to GER
tain degree Of heat to preserve 1t for
winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk is called
guZangebben. 1t Is made from the
honey of the tamarisk tree. This honey
is not the work of the bee, but the
product of a small insect OR worm liv-
ing In vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months of
August and September the insects are
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar, and, although not SO delicious
as that made from fruit, it makes an
excellent temperance beverage.
Only among the rich and fashionable
are glasses used. In all other cases
sherbet Is : served in china bowls
and drunk from deep wooden spoons
carved in pear wood.
