When the applause over ''The Sketch Book" was so great, he wrote to a friend, T feel almost appalled, at such success, and fearful that it cannot be real, or that it is not fully merited, or that shall not be able to act up to the expectations that may be formed" | Born only a few months before Gen eral Washington entered New York upon it's evacuation by the British | troops, Irving's mother named him after the victorious leader.

SPEAKING OF BOOKS

(From the Christian Science Monitor)
 It is a hundred years this month since Washington Irving's "Sketcn Book" containing the lasting creations of Rip Van Wrinkle and Ichabod Crane, appeared.
 The Sketch Book" was written in England and published serially in America, winning immediate success on both sides of the ocean. It appeared anonymously. and was at first attrib- uted to Scott As some of the chap ters were printed in London, without Irving's permission, he found it neces- sary to protect himself by publishing in England He offered the sketches to John Murray, who civilly declined them Encouraged by Scott, Irving un- dertook the publication at his own risk Later, Murray was glad to have tn, honor, to say nothing of the profit. ot bringing out the work of an American author. He purchased the copyright fol s1 900, which, with his customary lib | erality toward authors, he later gener ously raised to s2000.

 best London houses. He had the pleas

 He took the Catskilis, the noun tains over which he had wandered as a boy, for the haunt of his old vaga- bond, Rip Van Wrinkle.

A ScoUNDREL STILL ENHANCED

It is ardently to be hoped that the recent dispatch reporting the capture of Enver Pasha in some remote corner of Trans Caucasia is true. With the exception of his accomplice, Talaat Pasha, no greater scoundrel ever lived unhanged. He was the real head of the Turkish government which, with unconscioue irony, called itself for a time the committee of union and pro- gress. The control was in the hands of Enver, Talaat and Djimal. Together they were responsible fo rthe massacre of perhaps a million Armenians, Sy- rians and Greeks.
 Enver was the brains of the crime;

IF KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have been eating too much meat, which forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat. says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in theh' effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get slug gish and clog you must relieve them. like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache. sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sou-s, tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic Ninges The urine is cloudy. full of udiment. channels often get sore. water sca1ds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 Either consult good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- rnacist about four ounces or Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with Iith.a, and has been used for generations. to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir- ritates, thus ending bladder weak ness.

GREATER PARIS

Correspondence of The Associated Press )-8y author 1zing the demolition of the wall of and the military zone outside the mil itary zone outside the wall for city improvements, the French Parliament has just removed the principal obsta Gle to a "Greater Paris The city will thus obtain the elbow room it needs and one of the most remarkable parks in the world. With a width of 250 yards and a length of 25 miles. the park will completely surround the city, adding one or more to the circular systems of Improvements that have successively taken the place of dis appearing walls since the time of Philippe Augusta which show the growth of the city as rings mark that of the oak.

The rag pickers' huts, truck gardens, and piles of refuse that made the military zone look like "Shantytown" and gave arrivals the first warning of approach to the city will have disappeared to give place to the parIS In place of the massive stone wall and deep moat in front of it that marked the city linn it's there will be another belt 140 yards wide and q miles long com posed of buildings in the best French style built according to a general plan combining harmony and taste with the most improved hygienic install lations.
 The demolition of the wall will release 1150 acres of ground, of which 300 acres will be taken up by new streets, boulevards, railroads and canals. The suppression of the mili- tary zone will make available 1875 acres of space, of which 1,750 will be devoted to the new park, constituting "a third of all the park area of the city. The rest of the space will ae uLIiized for the erection of a perman- ent exposition building between the gates of St. Cloud and Auteuil.
 A small portion of the wall will be preserved as historical monument
 This improvement will involve the suppression of the sixty gates of Paris. New and wider thoroughfares will connect the city with the suburbs and, eventually, most of the imme- diately neighboring communes will be incorporated in the greater city.

OF THE BICYCLE.

This year marks the 1o4th ami Versary of the bicycle, as it was in 1915 that mankind first began its travels astride a machine of two wheels. The original home of the bicycle is France. In the latter part of the eighteenth century several French inventors turned their atten- ton to the problems connected with this mode of locomotion. Blanchard a pioneer aeronaut, who visited Amer lea and made the first ascent in a balloon on this continent, contrived a sort of velocipede, but it was con sidered as only an amusing toy. It was on May 26, 1915. just 104 years ago today that, according to a French work on the subject, the dandy horse" made its first appearance on the streets of Paris.
 One of the men who perfected the machine was Baron von Drais, and the pioneer bicycles were called "Draisena." In the popular mouth however, they soon became known as dandy horses" and riding on this novel mechanical steed became "all the rage" in France for a time. The two wheels of the dandy horse" were of equal size. connected by a bar, on which a saddle was placed, and astride of which the rider sat. In appear ance it was som mewhat similar to the modern wheel but the impetus was given by the riders feet touching the ground, alternately pushing and being raised. Propulsion by pulling levers with the hand or by pushing with the feet was next attempted, but not with any great measure of success The velocipedes operated with the foot usually had three wheels. On account of the labor involved, 1t never became very popular.
 The dandy horse and other early developments of the bicycle soon Ian guished, and 1t was not until 1861 that bicycles and tricycles again came into use. About that time the old fashioned high wheel or ''boneshak err gained wide favor in Europe, and in the early '7O's 1t was introduced into the United States and Canada. France was again the pioneer in the development of this contrivance. A number of the "boneshakers" were exhibited at the centennial exposition in Boston, where the first bicycle club was organized and the pioneer American bicycle dealer started in business.

THE APOSTLE OF ENGLAND.

The first great Christian missionary to England was St. Augustine, whose festival is celebrated today by the Catholic and Anglican churches. St. Augustine lived in the sixth century. He was prior of a monastery when he was appointed by St. Gregory the Great as chief of missionaries which that pontiff sent to the convert the heather Angles. Long before he be- came ruler of the church Gregory s great ambition had been the conver- sion of the intelligent but Pagan people of England. St. Augustine and his companions landed at Ebbsfleet, between Sandwich and Ramsgate. News of their coming had preceded them, and they were welcomed by King Ethelbert, the meeting taking place under a great oak tree at Min ster. There Augustine announced to the monarch the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the King was not slow in accepting it. On whit-Sunday, 596, Ethelbert was baptized, and pe- camo the first Christian ruler of Eng land. Most of the nobles and thous- ands of the people followed their rulers example, and the faith spread far and wide, anly the Britons Of the west rejecting the new religion. The Apostle of England and the founder of the Anglo-Saxon church labored for eight years in England, when he died. Previous attempts have been made to introduce Christianity among the Angles, Saxons and Britons, but all had failed.
