HOW SHE REMEMBERED HIM
"such a Friendly Face" Said Woman
of Man Whose Name She Had
Temporarily Forgotten.

1t is something TO carry ones COM
mendation in ones face, as the poet
Coventry Patmore would have it.
At the Eurydiee concert few eve
nings ago a woman was attempting to
describe to her neighbor a man whose
personality had impressed her, though
she had forgotten his name.
you must know whom mean." she
said. "That man with beard. who
has such a friendly look"
"Oh, you'mean George Burnham, Jr,"
said the other.
Eyes, that's the msn ~

desire n more endearing Descriptions
Which reminds me that when Hor-
ace Greenwood and Mr. Burnham
first met they were somewhat in

Mr.. Burnham.
"Mr Greenwood" repeated the in
terlocutor.
"To be surer' exclaimed Mr.. Burn

"And | must confess that I didn't

Greenwood.

Discovered in 1895.

Platinum was discovered in what is
now Colombia in 1875, by d Spaniard
named Don Antonio de Ulloa, who &C
companied French scientific eXpedi-
ton, and his account of it was the first
information regarding the metal to be
brought to the attention of Europeans.
In the placer mining of gold in Co
lombia it was formerly thrown away
as waste, and when the rise in price
made it more valuable than gold the
ground on which the waste had been
thrown became in its turn field for
mining operations, and even the
streets of the principal center of gold
refining in Colombia, .Quibdo. were
torn up and the soil washed for par
ticles of the new treasure. One man
tore down his store in order to get at
the ground beneath, and found so
much platinum that he was enabled to
rebuild and make an extra $4,000 for
his trouble

Paw HOMAGE to Swallow.

Tradition has 1t that the late swal-
low brings good luck to the hotel he
favors, and most country people re-
gard the bird as semiconsecrated and
refuse to allow its empty nest TO be
tnterfered with during the winter
months. With the spring. the birds re-
turn to their original caves. and 1t Is
Il sign of impending misfortune if they
neglect their former nests. A swallow
AT sea brings disaster in its train. but
n sand swallow is considered a mascot
by the surrounding countryside. Even
the humble hedge sparrow may lay
claim to some share of notOriety, for
illness attacks the occupant of the
room into which it gains access. A
dead wren is another little treasure
and the superstitious Manx fishermen
would never set sail at one time with
cut one. A live wren will not work
the same result. but a dead wren can
vie with the renowned caul among the
sea superstitions.

Exit the Raw Euo.

One of the latest anathemas Of med
ical erudition is heaped upon the head
of the hitherto considered benign raw
egg. Its sin, according to the New
York Medical Journal. is chiefly plain
cussed worthlessness. The Medical
Journal goes on to say that the raw
egg white leaves the stomach I'm
changed and only feebly stimulates
the flow of gastric juice. Cooked egg
white, however, calls forth n generous
flow of gastric juice and readily unites
with the hydrochloric acid. In addi-
ton raw egg white leaves the stomach
much too rapidly. 1t is the only pro-
TEN which acts in this peculiar way
the only one to leave the stomach I'M
changed. However, in spite of these
multifold iniquities, raw egg white"
concludes the medical journal. sis not
really harmful, but 1t must be remem-
bered that in keeping with newer find
ings it must be cooked"

RESENTED TRIBUTE TO DEY
Jefferson's Action in Tripoli Set Ex-
ample That Was Followed by All
Christian Nations.

The first treaty with Algiers, which
vas negotiated during Washington'S
administration, cost the United States,
for the ransom of American captives,
Il 100000. in addition to which an an
nuity was promised. In 1900 Presi-
lent Adams claimed that the United
States had 10 pay three times the trib-
ute imposed upon Sweden and Den
mark.
But this temporizing policy only
made matters worse. Captain Balm
bridge arrived in Algiers, bearing the
annual tribute for the dey In a ma
tional frigate, and the dey ordered
him to proceed to Constantinople to
deliver Algerian dispatches. English,
French and Spanish ships of war have
done the same thing" said the dey in
solentlv. when Bainbrdge and the
American consul demonstrated. "You
nav me tribute because you are my
slaves" replied the dey, who was play
ing the role assumed in later years by
the kaiser. jefferson had expressed
his detestation of the method hitherto
favored for pacifying these pests of
commerce: and. availing himself of the
present opportunity. he sent on Com
modore Dale with squadron of three
frigates and a sloop of war to make
naval demonstration on the Barbary
coast. The Barbary powers We're for
time overawed, and the United

Whale Meat.

Whale meat is by no means new
food to human beings. Since time i'm
memorial the Eskimos of the Hudson
bay and Alaskan coasts have eaten it.
1t was and still is one of their main
food supplies, as well as giving oil for
fuel. AS is well known. the whale has
very small throat, averaging in the
largest about ten inches in diameter.
Thus it can swallow nothing large. 1t
lives on various forms of pelagic life,
very minute creatures which whalers
call brit and upon shrlmps, herring
and various small crustaceans.

PATRIOTS. BEHIND THE LINES
BY BARNETTA BROWN
of the ViqiIantes.

These patriots are way, way behind
the lines. They live in Brooklyn. and
not only in Brooklyn, but far in the
rear of Brooklyn, where the last end
of subway is coming to conclusion
These patriots may be called alien pa
triots, for many of them have not been
here long. They are small patriots.
for the eldest is only about ten. Their
mothers keep the homes, and their
fathers dig the peaceful trenches for
the subway. So they are not very
well=to-do patriots. In fact, they are
quite otherwise; they are poor in ev-
erything but patriotism. In that they
are very rich. They are full of it,
erammed in. pressed down and run
ming over, as you will agree. 1t bub-
bled so, inside of them, that they had
to put it into expression, somehow.
But how? They had just nothing to
express with. No pennies 70 make
fund to send somewhere; no pennies
to buy tobacco for the soldiers pipes
no pennies to buy worsted to knit
Mil. What should they do?
a hopeless little group they were as
they stood one day, discussing ways
and means, or rather, the utter lack
of them, till at last the situation was
cleared by one determined little mite
She took off one of her mittens, say
ing:
Il can change the other one round.
Anyhow you can't knit with mittens
on"
Five or six pairs of childish eyes
watched her eagerly, as she COM
menced to unravel her mitten.
Go get me some skewers, Johnny"
Johnny flew, and soon returned with
several. The nearest butcher had been
kind.
I'm going to knit" the small girl
announced. I'm going to knit squares
for blankets, for those Belgian ba-
bies"
The idea caught at once. Such
scurrying as there was Mothers were
pleaded with odd corners were
searched; even ash barrels were in
vestigated. From unsupported quar-
ters old tams, old searfs, old shawls.
old stockings, old mittens, We're
brought forth. All things that could
be spared, and some that could not.
but everything that could be gotten
hold of that would unravel was I'M
earthed; and the work began. and
went on. The children knitted with
skewers, with pieces of steel, with any
thing that would hold stitch and
connect 1t with another.
And so we found them one day. sit
ting all huddled together on the stoop
of one of the tenements; all knitting
with the crinkly wool, the little
squares 1t was a picture of child
life not easily forgotten, and we
watched. and thought; and as we
turned away, we knew that our hearts
would always be more soft and kind.
because we had seen this little group
of little patriots. knitting their little
squares, to cover the little cold babies
of Belgium.

A PRAYER
BY JAMES w. WISE

Of the VIglTantes.
oh God of right, TO thee today
We raise in awe our fervent prayer:
Grant victory unto the men
Who fight for freedom over there.
We do not ask a victor's prize,
But power to stay the cruel hand
Of Frussian tyranns and greed,
And to avenge a plundered land.
Today We seek thee in the fight
Thy mighty arm of wrath made bare:
