City Dweiler and the Tin Can.

'Here is an astonishing fact" writes
Harry S. Stabler in Everybody's,
(which the proper authorities will veri-
fly for you:
Thirty per cent of the business of
the wholesale grocers of the entire
country is in canned goods. In the
wholesale houses of New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia and other large cit
les, foods make up 40 per cent of the
business.
"The fact is that, If you We're TO
take the tin cans out of any city of
the first or second class, the inhabi-
tants would begin to starve almost at
once. That means, of course, that
those cities could not have grown so
large without food conserved in tins"

First Atlantic Steam Vessels.

years ago. The Savannah, a ship of

q days. Most OF the voyage was made
under sail, the coal supply having
been exhausted after ten days at sea.
Six years later the steamship Enter
prise went from Falmouth. England,
TO the East Indies, the first voyage of

old TAVERN Raced
Built IN 1740, Twice Had George
Washington as Guest.
watertown's Historic Structure, Scene
Of Recent Accident, Soon % be =,
f4f Only Memory. ~

The famous old tavern on Caller
street, WATERFOWL, near the entrance
to the barns of the Boston elevated
railway, is being torn down, to make
L letter and more roomy entrance
says the Boston Globe.
The place was known as the Dor
othy Coolidge tavern. 1t was built in
174O by William Williams, a shipbuild-
er. Later 1t became the property of
Nathaniel Coolidge, who established
tavern, which he conducted up to the
time of his death in ITO.
Upon the death of Mr.. Coolidge the
tavern was conducted by his widow,
Dorothy Whitney Coolidge. Washing
ton made two visits to the tavern, the
first time in July. 1775, while on his
way to Boston. After he became pres
ident. he again came to the tavern and
he remained over night.
Mrs. Coolidge was noted for the ex-
cellence Of her johnnycake, and 1t is
recorded that Washington partook of
some and highly praised the cake and
its maker.
The tavern was n popular resort for
American and British officers, and on
the morning Of the battle of Lexington
it is recorded that Mrs. Whitney fed
the volunteers.
! The Massachusetts legislators often
met here and in ITS the safety com.
mittee made its headquarters at the
tavern.
In the early days Of the place a
signboard bearing likeness of George
III hung over the entrance to the main
door. Later this was changed for q
portrait of George Washington.
The property was acquired by the
Boston elevated railway several years
ago. There was an announcement
made by the company many years ago

prevailed upon the officials to save the
place because of its historical value.
The protest was needed, but the time
has come for the building to go. and |
before long the famous old landmark |
will be only thing of the past.
The building stood so close to the |
tracks of the railway that there was
source Of danger. Only re-
Gently a car jumped the tracks at
the entrance to the barn and three men
were iammed against the side of the
tavern in such manner that q por-
ton of the ell had to be cut away be-
fore the men could he released.

that fastened the action of the com.

Away Garment Which She Plan
ned on Remodeling.

Herbert" said Mrs. Fudge, when
the tea things were cleared away, II
was thinking about that costume I
wore the winter before last"
"Yes, DEAR" replied Fudge, appre-
hensively.
81 decided that could turn it and
make really nice dress of it. The
one I've been wearing is dreadfully
shabby, you know"
Turn. OF course, it would turn,
dear" agreed Fudge, with some en-
thusiasm. you're such q clever little
needlewoman. No, ] am not flattering.
And, as you say, your other dress is
trifle on the down grade. Why, Wen

notion"
Mrs. Fudge shook her head sadly
and guilefully.
There" she remarked, "your men,
DRY is just as bad as mine. I'd quite
forgotten that gave the dress to Cou-
sin Lizzie this spring; so I'm afraid
that saving scheme must wait. Isn't
1t a nuisance, Herbert?"
And Herbert gave the ottoman a
savage kick and told the clever little
woman to stop her chattering.

peuelon a New Metal.

A metal suitable for the very finest
forms of cutlery has been developed
from combining iron, chromium and
cobalt, according TO an announcement
made by Prof. w. L. Goodwin Of
Queens university, Kingston, Ontario.
Consul +. S. S. Johnson, who is at
Kingston, reports that the new metal
IS easy to work and is shortly to be
put on the market in commercial guam
titles.
Professor Goodwin is chairman OF
the Canadian section of the Society of
Chemical Industry, which organization,
in conjunction with Canadian chemists
and chemical engineers, is working to-
ward getting higher degree OF extrac-
ton of useful substances from ores and
finding new uses for waste products.
Canadian chemists were responsible

JaPan's Unique Population.

There has never before been a ma
tiOn at once so numerous and so homo
geneous as the Japanese, says writer
in Scribner's. Their population is es-
tlmated at somewhere between G0,000-
900 and 75,000,000. Their territory,
hardly so extensive as was controlled
by our Revolutionary colonies, con-
tains from half to three-quarters as
many people as nhabit the whole
United States. This population. too,
is remarkably uniform. Those who
know Japan best agree that, if we ex-
cept the negligible aborigines of some
northern provinces, you can hardly
find among the japanese any difsor-
ence much more pronounced than
those which might distinguish New
Hampshire from Connecticut. Compare
this with our own country, or with
the widely various races and languages
of China or of India, or with England,
Scotland and Wales, and you will see
that the patriotism of Japan has TO
sanction its Intensity a population
that is unique in human record.

CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Many Very Old and Were Handed
Down From Mouth to Mouth for
Generations.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very DID,, some of them SO old that,
were they not familiar, they might be
considered the veriest curiosities of lit
erature. Through all the changes Of
language they have held their own
upon the lips and in the hearts of the
people observes a writer In Kan
sas City Journal.
From mouth to mouth they have
come down through the years with an
Irresistible swing of rhythm and pat
ter and jingle Of words till they seem
to have been rather natural growth
than human invention.
In all the melodies there is certain
likeness of rhythm with national,
might say temperamental, difference
slow assured major of the German to
the wild plaintive minor of the Scotch,
characterized by the short accented
notes of the weirdness of the Hunga-
rian with its sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the characters
tics of the people among whom they
originated gives them an importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem TO warrant. The words
often seem mere meaningless tumble,
the melody is always within the easy
compass of home voices. No doubt
both express, in some supernally wise
way, the one unalterable sentiment of
maternal love. ..
1t may be that even the words of
these baby songs had originally some
significance they have since lost. The
mother little thinks that Bye Baby
Bunting" was once tale full of verify.
To her the rabbit skin is indeed
''fairy tale" for she much prefers
dainty muslins and silks and laces.
While, though, papa" may be a
mighty hunter, ii is well known that
the game ne bags rs dollars. But in |
that time, antedating civilization, when |
this song was first sung, the rabbit |
skin was an important part Of the |
baby's wardrobe.
1t was then that it became crystal
lized in song so that muslins and laces |
have never been able to supersede it,
and it has become one of those incan-
atiOns that set baby off on journeys
Of his own through dreamland. 1t is
but one of his many illusions.

Worlds Oldest Town.

A few miles south Of the snow ridge
of the Caucasus, next door to Europe,
but actually in Asia, there is q wretch
ed little village whose fame should be
worldwide. Beneath it's terraced
homes two rivers unite; the clear,
cold Aragwa, fastening from its birth
place in the eternal SHOWS of the eau
casus to the hot depression of the Cas-
plan, and the Kura. sullied and dirty,
swinging in from the west to make it's
way across the barren Transcaucasian
steppe, between the mountains of Dag
hestan and the Armenian highlands.
Mtzkhet is the name of this PENN
sula town. Only Russian, with ample
whiskers, can readily pronounce the
word, says Maynard Owen Williams
In Christian Herald. There is really
nothing in the peaceful and dirty lit
tie village TO compare with the mill
tant aggressiveness of its name.
Mtzkhet has claims to antiquity that
make the oldest New England town
appear as mere baby; for its clti-
zens assert that it was founded by one
of Noah's sons, Tho strolled over from
Mount Ararat one day and chose this
site because of its excellent drainage.
The town looks old, to say the least.
Damascus has verdant freshness
about IL that Is as deceptive as grease
paint, but Mtzkhet stands out from
green fields and pastures new. like a
weathered fishing smack in an emerald
sea.

Forgetting How to Think.

n college professor made the remark
TO one of his classes in the Ohio State
university that he noticed marked
deterioration in the mental capacity of
young people of cOilege-student age
since he first began to come in contact
with them some % years ago. He said
they seem unable to concentrate their
minds as they used to. What they seem
to learn now, he said, they acquire par
rotlike. In short, they do not think.
We asked a high-schOol teacher of
long and successful experience if this
is true. She said it undoubtedly is.
Both she and the college professor at
tribute the unprOmising status of boys
and girls to too much scattering of in
terest. There are too many different
things for them to do, their attention
is constantly being diverted from one
thing to another and the result is that
they cannot fix their minds on anything
and consequently do nothing well.
Not only do they have a wide diver.
sity OF amusements, but the school cur
riculum itself is given over in large
measure to Il very wide variety of So
called studies which by the farthest
stretch of the imagination cannot be
considered vital or fundamental.
A return to simpler courses in school
and to simpler living outside is needed,
in the view of our college professor and
