Charm of Old San Antonio.

The charm of the old city lies chief
ly around the historic spots and build
ings in which the romance of its early
history is centered. Rarely do we en-
ter a city that can boast of ancient
edifices and hallowed ground, the his
tory of which is known the country
over. Rarer still is the community
whose quaint buildings, picturesque
scenes and romantic atmosphere are
its main attractions, Turing thousands
to its gates each year. Such, however,
is the. boast of San Antonio, Tex, one
of the Quaintest and most interesting
cities In the United States. Nowhere
else may you find a greater appeal to
the romantic and the picturesque and
having such hospitable welcome eN-
tended you; nowhere will you find
such a blending of the ancient with
the modern as in this delightful city
of our own SOuthwest.-ArchitC cture.

cor Tf;EN PULLING TOGETHER
What Happened When Spirit of Coop
Grafton Got Busy With Band of
Foolish, Patriotic Citizens.

One day a traveller came to a viii
lage green upon which number OF
citizens stood in a discouraged and eX-
hausted fashion about a flag pole.
And who are these men?" asked the
traveller.
"They are patriotic citizens" he was
told, 'who are trying to raise the flag
TO the top of the pole. Each one, how
ever, has his own method of rope-pull-
ing. and though they are very strong
and determined to raise the flag and
though, as you can see, each one Is
putting all his strength In the work,
nothing seems to happen. We spec
tators, are afraid that they will spend
so much time in argument that the
flag will never be raised at ALL"
"This is very interesting" said the
traveller.
He approached the group and ad-
dressed 1t. Patriots" he said, "if you
will stand with me a moment and all
pull the rope steadily In one direction,
your object will be accomplished"
But we have different ideas OF d.
rection," they told him.
ave will discuss those afterward,"
said the traveller; Gin the meantime let
us take one long, strong pull together
and see what happens"
With much distrust his suggestion
was acted upon, the flag went swiftly
to the top of the pole and opened glo-
riously above the cheering populace.
The patriots wiped their heated
brows and looked at each other.
eff that thought had occurred to us
some time ago." said one, "a great
deal of our valuable time might have
been saved"
"Also," remarked the traveller, who
by this time had been recognized by
several as the Spirit of Cooperation,
"the flag would have been flying much
sooner"

NOT PLACE OF IMPORTANCE
References to sTown of Joppa Only
Occasionally Met With In Old
Testament Writings.

The town of Joppa was never with
in the territory of the Israelites, in
Old Testament times, and so meets
with only casual reference from the
Old Testament writer's. Thus 1t Is
mentioned, by the writer of II Chron-
icles, as seaport for the importa-
ton of Lebanon timber, which was
fioated down the coast. Said Hiram,
the king of Tyre, in the course of his
"kind answer" to SOlomon's emhassage
for worlSmen and materials, And we
will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much
as thou shalt need; and we will bring
1t to thee in iotes by sea to Joppa !;
and thou shalt carry it to Jerusalem"
And the great cedars of Lebanon
were hauled across the country be-
tween Joppa and Jerusalem. Joppa
came into the hands of the Jews In the
time of the Maccabees, and, although
Pompey restored 1t to the Syrians, 1t
was later given back to the Jews, with
ar exemption from tax.

BEES WORK TO KEEP WARM
Another Example CT the Remarkable
Intelligence Displayed by the Lit
tie Gstherers Of Honey.

The bee upholds his reputation for
Industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer. Being suscept-
ible to cold, the bee must have some
means of supplying warmth.
Ii was found by experiment that
only the shell of the cluster made by
the bees In cold weather Is compact.
This is formed by one of several lay
ers of bees all solidly arranged with
their heads inward, their hairs inter-
laclng.
This arrangement is perfect for con-
servation of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions the
bees forming the shell are quiet. But
within the shell strange things are go
ing on.
1t is here that the heat is gen.
Grated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at time. Rapid tanning of the wings,
shaking the body from side TO side,
rapid breathing, and other movements
are all parts of the scheme for rails
ing the temperature.
In one particular instance, when a
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and half minutes the
thermometer nearest him registered
90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Emotions and TIE Eve.

The thing we look ut straightest
and most steadily is the eye of the
man or woman who talks TO us. And
no emotion changes the gllstening OF
that eye. Yet, so unobservant are we
all, especially descriptive novellsts,
that eyes, in fiction, always flash. I'M
der the stress of any kind of rage. The
assassin of the surgeon In Paris the
other day went to his deed, as we read
in the fictitious part Of the report OF
a witness, with eyes that flashed ac-
cording to custom. Now the human
eye has two places for flashing--one
in the clear pupil, showing one point
of light or more according to the light
or lights reflected: the other I'm the
white. Neither of these brfghncsses
depends upon the mind.

Marriage Question.

Why is Ii that it never occurs to n
certain type of woman that there may
be some men in the world too good for
her to marry? Every man with any
brains at all knows that there are some
women in the world too good for him
to marry. The average business man
SHES off from the brilliant and beau
tiful woman, lest, marrying her, he
should be patiently outclassed through
his life. He wants a woman who is
just his equal In looks and intelligence
40 more-at least not so much more
that he will have to suffer in contrast.
But women apparently never give
such considerations moments
thought. 1 have seen brilliant men
loaded through life with women who
caught them very young, and who
stopped growing at nineteen, while the
men kept right on. These women must
have known in the days when their
frances were quoting to them poetry
which they couldn't understand that
they were not the equals of their men.

Forts Built With Natural Cement.

The volcanic island Of Santorlnl, In
the Aegean sea, produces natural
cement called 'portselana," which
mixed in certain proportions with lime
and sand is an excellent substitute for
the best cement.
"Portselana" has been used for many
centuries and Is still being used
throughout the near East In the con-
struction of bridges. harbor works,
breakwaters, forts, lighthouses, etc.,
In the Mediterranean, the Black sea,
and the Adriatic. With IL the Vene-
tians constructed the great fort OF
Monemvasia and Nauplla, the then
Gibraltar of the eastern Mediter-
ranean, the foundations of which are
In the sea, intact and immovable up to
now after many centuries. The forts
of Crete and those of the Dardanelles
are also built with 'portselana."

1t is salutary thing to regret past
errors and sincerely resolve not to fall
into them again, but it is a foolish and
most dangerous thing to brood over
mistakes we have made. sins we have
committed. Brooding cannot possibly
lead to healthy-minded action. Its
tendency, rather is to develop a state
of mind that may pass over into in
sanity. Yet many people indulge in
this dangerous luxury of brooding. Par
ticularly is this likely to be the case
