IN SPANISH HALL OF FAME
The Name Of Espartero, Duke of Wit
toria, Has Been Properly 40
corded High Position.

Fifty years ago Queen Isabella was
dethroned, and Spain threw off the
yoke of the Bourbons and inaugurated
a new order of things, looking at least
to the establishment of a constitutional
government, if not government Of the
people.
Espartero, duke of Vittoria, was
placed at the head of the state. He
had occupied that position on two for
mer occasions. He aided in securing
the succession of Isabella, and success
fully led her armies In putting down
the Carlists. In the instruction Of
1910, caused by the law suppressing the
freedom of speech In the town coun-
ellis, Espartero became head of the
government and was confirmed In that
position by the cortes, and was ap-
pointed regent during the minority Of
the queen. He was deposed in 1913
and had to fly to London for safety.
In 1847 he was recalled to Spain and
by the revolution of 1854, which drove
the Queen Mother Christina and Mar
vaez from the country, he was again
placed at the head of the government,
position which he resigned in 1856
Espartero was born in 1892. He was
the son of a wheelwright, commenced
life as common soldier in the Span
ish army and gained his honors and
titles by his own ability as a soldier
and statesman.

NO COUNTERFEIT FOR PIGSKIN
One Who Knows Can Always Tell, Al
most at a Glance, If Hide Is
Genuine or Not.

Probably you have some time or
other in your life bought pair of
pigskin leggings or putties. How do
you know they are plgskin? AS a
matter of fact there Is no leather In
the world just like pigskin in wearing
quality. A saddle, holster. or q pair
of putties made of this homely mate
rial will come pretty near proving In
destructible.
There is one easy way by which you
can always tell pigskin. Examine it
closely and you will find that the lit
tie black spots on the outside Of the
hide are always located in groups of
three. The whole surface will look
speckled, but these specks will be there
In groups of three, always and with
out fail, in any hide once worn by
porker.
Another part of the test is to look
at the grain side of the hide. You will
find here that there are holes all the
way through. AS a matter of fact, the
bristles Of the hog grow entirely
through the skin, and are nourished
not by the skin itself but by the fatty
tissues of the animal.

TEMPORARY MASK OF WISDOM
Even Most Foolish Man Has Look Of
Intelligence When He Is Light
ing Pipe.

Why is it that a man always looks so
intelligent when he is lighting his
pipe?
Probably it is because the intake of
breath which is necessary to start
proper combustion causes a drawing
up of his brows, wrinkling of the
forehead, a concavity of the cheeks
and pickering of the mouth, all of
which produces an Owlish and oracu-
lar demeanor. This mask Of wisdom
and soberness, when brightly lit by the
CLEAN and yellow shining of the
match flame which leaps up and down
over the bowl of the pipe, has dis
mayed many a timid observer. We
know that our friend, like ourself, was
but q well-nourished simpleton whose
mind. even II spread at its thipnest,
could not shelter more than one-tenth
of his doings with common sense. How
came it. then. that this simple act
of laying fire to dried vegetation could
so uplift and eAsage himq
Whenever a man lights his pipe his
mind seems born anew; in other
words, 1t leaps back into the vast ocean
of simple absurdity whence most of
our minds come trickling The mo-
mentary right gives him time to think,
and he starts afresh upon argument,
rebuttal ana contradiction, And inev-
itably he says something particularly

The most costly, and scientifically
the most noteworthy, animal in the
grand collection of the New York Zoo
logical society in Bronx park is the
pigmy hippopotamus, of which there
are three specimens. Not only are
these the only captive pigmies in this
country, but anywhere in the world,
except a pair captured at the same
time and now in Europe. Even skins
and skeletons are so few az to be re-
garded as great prizes by museums.
Its habitat is apparently restricted to
the hinterland of Liberia, where it
roams restlessly through the forests
and haunts small streams, making rest
ing-places of hollows under the shaded
banks. This rare little beast from an
unknown land Is true hippOpotamus,
but midget in size beside the huge
amphibian with which we are famil-
lar. One might make a dozen of them
out of the bulky carcass of that old
Behemoth Galiph, the monarch of the
herd at the zoo. The male of the
pigmy is fully adult, yet stands only
80 inches tall, and weighs about 400
pounds.

PUTS SIDNEY IN HIGH PLACE
First Good Prose Writer In Our Lam
guage, Said HaIlam, and Other
Critics Agree With Him.

The very name of Sidney's "Arca-
dia" is aromatic In the Imagination,
and its traditional place in our litera-
ture is unquestioned, writes George w.
Curtis. In our day 1t is little read,
nor is 1t very interesting story. But
under its quaint and courtly conceit its
tone is so pure and lofty, its courtesy,
and appreciation of women so hearty
and honorable; it has so fine a moral
atmosphere, such noble thoughts, such
stately and beautiful descriptions, that
to read 1t is like conversing with d
hero. So there is no better reading
than the Defense of Poesy," that
hymn of loyalty to intellectual beauty,
Hallam well calls Sidney 1.-THE first

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage. }
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
of Pork Production-Sevenf
increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
| With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
| freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
Increase in cattle of 10,238,000 head
and 12,441,000 hogs These figures
were compiled to January l last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than per cent. and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the Q. 8.
Food Administered ton for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 9O3, 900 pounds,
while for-the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hsg products totaled
l,277 ,5S9,OOO, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1903, 100000
pounds as against Lash, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September 1, this year.

Historic Old Lusitania.

Among the historical mementoes in
Old Lusitania, which is an ancient
name of the western part of Hispania,
including a part Of modern Portugal,
is an ancient church ruin which stands
off the Rue DA San Rogue, 1t is the
former Carmo Cathedral, a conspicu-
GUS object high above the Baixo. The
outer walls and piers and arches of
the naves still remain. The chancel and
chapels retain their roofs, and in the
precincts an archaeological museum
has been established. Here many rel
les from ruined ecclesiastical buildings
have found refuge, among others two
stone fountains in the Arabic style
one from the extinct monastery of Pen
ha Tonga, on the Sierra Of Cintra. The
other was brought from Barbary after
the conquest, in 1852, and given to
Prince Henry the Navigator, who pre-
sented it to the Faro church as a holy
water receptacle. There it had been
lying neglected for years In the eeme-

SAVE $1,000, 900 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY

Farmers, Urged by Food Administra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra loaVes
of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers OF the
United States this year saved ruby
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loayes of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains; is shown Dy
reports from 33 grain states to the U.
4 Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def-
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
TO reduce harvest losses from about
az per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest posi-
ble minimum. Country grain thresh.
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the Official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were SEN
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh
ing machines were stopped until thu

introducing the MonocIe.

One interesting thing about the
monocle is that the fashion of wearing
it was introduced at the Congress of
Vienna, that congress which remade
the map of Europe and, in the opinion
of many, laid the mines whose eXplo-
sion was the great war. Sir Horace
Rumbold. in writing on the subject of
the origin of odd fashions and Gus
toms, said that a Dutch exquisite,
Jonkheer Breele, was the first man to
wear a monocle, and that he showed
the then brand new fad to the diplo-
mats and others assembled at the con-
gress. After that introduction the fad
spread to all parts of Europe, but it
took it's deepest hold on the English
well-to-do classes.
