Little Spot In Cumbrlan Mountains
Which Offers an Imitation Of
the Real Thing.

Few travellers, even those familiar
with the by-ways, will think of Eng
land In connection with the sport of
mountain climbing. Yet there is a
bit Of tumbled country in the west of
England where a coterie Of ,devotees
of this perilous sport foregather an
nually at the Christmas season to get
a taste of alpine work near home.
The village of Washable Head, in the
Cumbrian mountains, is the base of
operations for these outdoorsmen who
find their Joy In scaling precipices with
forty foot rope about their waists
and a hundred-yard drop below.
The village itself is one of the pic
turesque bits of old England which
have not changed much In the last
500 years. Here you can attend serv-
ices in what is probably the smallest
church In the world-a tiny building
with seats for twenty people. There
is an inn, Of course. with battered
signboard. which might have been mod
eled after description from Dickens,
except that 1t was fiourishing some
centuries before Dickens was born.
For eleven months In the year.
neither the Inn nor the church at West.
dale Head are crowded. But the land
lord at the inn has booked his little
rooms with their low ceilings eight
months ahead for the cold days of
December. This is the season when
the climbers gather, and the chance
tourist who arrives at this time will
probably sleep on the floor under the
billiard table.

Sweet clover is grown on many corn

In cases where sweet clover is
grown for this purpose the end in

1t is clear that the second year crop
which would otherwise be devoted to
seed production will give the great

The fall crop of the first year should
be cut for hay, which will not lessen

the middle Of May the second year

Mouse at the WEDDING

A friend of mine, Historically afraid
Of mice, had often declared that wher-
ever she went one was sure to follow.
She did not figure on one attending
her wedding, however. She was mar
ried at home and during the ceremony
a mouse scampered across the CARPET
at the feet Of the bride. AS she was
about to say YES" she screamed 40"
and, jerking her hand from the bride
groom's, she. caught up her skirts and
veil and mounted the nearest chair
Nothing could induce her to come
down. There she remained until the
ceremony was finished and the bride
groom lifted her from her perch. I
witnessed the wedding, but, like the
rest Of the guests, heard little of the
marriage service on account of the
laughter, which was general. The par
son gave them certificate, so / sup

KING OF POLITICAL BOSSES
William M. Tweed Has Had Many
Followers, But None May Be
Considered Hls Equal.

William M. Tweed. the most notori-
BUS boss in the history of New York,
wore, at the height of his power, the
1900 badge of Tammany, tigers
head with eyes of ruby, surmounted by
three large diamonds. He died in
Ludlow street Jail, u0able to raise bail
for his release.
Tweed was head Of the Tammany
"Wigwam." He was a state senator
and at the same time street commits
sioner. He had personal and political
following that remained faithful to
him even in his downfall In July,
1871, figures were dug out of the coun-
ty books showing that Tweed and his
associates had been gouging the city
and county for millions of dollars.
One item alone was of $5,OO0,OO0 for
carpets for the county court house.
1t was found that enough carpets had
been bought-or at least paid for-to
cover eight acres OF City Hall park
three layers deep. A. mass meeting of
citizens was held. Tweed was arrest
ed, and released ON $1,000,0OO bail.
Even after this, he was reelected to
the state senate by 1900 plurality.
He escaped from his house with the
connivance of his keepers, but was re-
turned. He was brought to trial in
1873, on charge of grand larceny and
forgery, and sentenced to u years
Imprisonment and a heavy fine. The
sentence was reversed in 1875, but
Tweed was unable to furnish bail and
was committed to jail. He escaped to
Spain later In the same year, was
caught and brought back on warship
and again imprisoned In Ludlow street

LIFE RESEMBLES MAGIC VASE
Each Of Us May Confidently Rely on
Getting Out of 1t Just What
We Put In.

An eastern legend tells of a won
derful magic vase-known as the vase
Of life-which was ever full of a mys-
terious liquid. No one could tell what
this liquid was, No chemist could ana
Iyze 1t or tell what entered into it's
composition. The marvellous thing
about 1t was that whatever one
dropped into it would overflow and
run down the sides of the vase. That
is, the original liquid would not run
over, but the thing which was dropped
into 1t would overflow in kind and
amount. The deposftor would always
get out of this magic vase exactly
what he put into it..
Life is Just such magic vase. 1t
will run over to you only that which
you drop into it-nothing more, moth
ing less, nothing different. If we drop
In love, generosity, tolerance, mag
nanimity, kindness, helpfulnesS, un'
selfishness-the life vase will run over
to US the same things in the same
amount and quality. If, on the other
hand, we put in hate, jealousy, envy,
cruelty, selfshness, grasping, greed,
malicious gossip about our neighhors
1T will run over with all of these
black devils to torment us and rob US
Of happiness and success,-O. S. Mar

LIVE FOR WORLD TO COME
Inhabitants Of MonasterIes on Mount
Athos Take No Thought Of
Mundane Things.

The long peninsula tapering south
ward from the busy city Of Saloniki
ends in three irregular prongs like a
misused trident of Neptune. On the
end of the easternmost of these prongs,
almost surrounded by the sea, stands
the Holy mountain, or Mount Athos. 1t
is given to men whose thoughts and
dOings are all directed with a sole
thought of the world to come, so that
the war agony which convulsed this
earth hardly caused a ripple in their
quiet existence. The slopes of Mount
Athos are covered with monasteries,
large and small.
1t is little world in itself this bit
of ancient Greece. 1t lives to a quiet
ordered tempo In an atmosphere where
noise and strife are almost unknown,
where all the little doings of the day
move to thOusand-year-old ritual.
There are men here who have not wan
dered a mile from their cloister in
twenty years, willing prisoners of their
own convictions. 1t Is place of kind
ly. dreamy life, free from heartburn
ings and jealousies, where each man Is
the equal of his fellow, despite the
castles and ranks OF the order-equal
in common infinite littleness before
the majesty Of divine omnipotence and
eternity.
No woman is permitted to visit the
sacred ground of the mountain, not
that the order looks down on woman,
but rather in tribute to her power to
draw the thoughts of men from the
eternal things. Despite the prohibition,
however, there are rnmors of women
disguised who fled to Athos and found
sanctuary there in the time of the
Greek revolt and the war with the
Turks. 1t is whispered. too, that the
daughter of an English admiral accom-
panied her father On an official visit
In the uniform of a midshipman.

SUPERSTITION AN OLD ONE
In All Ages the Belief in Crystal
Gazing" Has Been More or Less
Strongly Held.

Crystal gazing, or "scrying," as writ
ers on the subject term 1t, has been
practiced pretty well over the world
from ancient times to the present. In
early times they used to scry in springs
and bowls of water. In the British
museum there is a crystal ball said
to have been used by Dr. Dee, a wizard
of the time of Queen Bess. Cagliostro,
that sublime humbug of the eighteenth
century, used to place a pail of water
on the stage and request some child
to come out of the audience and gaze
into it. The child would babble of
castles, pageants and other marvellous
pictures he could see in the clear
liquid. The society Tor psychical re-
search, certain of whose members, one
would almost conclude, are ready to
swallow whole superstition in any
shape, has done some crystal gazing
and at last accounts had glass balls
for sale at its headquarters in London.
The late Andrew Lang stated his be-
lief that some people have the faculty
"of seeing faces, places, persons in
motion in glass ball, in water, ink
or any clear Deep" but scouts the no.
ton that serving can accomplish any
thing in the way of finding lost prop
erty or in foretelling the future, as has
been claimed for it by crystal gazing
enthusiasts. AS a crystal ball is not
absolutely necessary, by all accounts,
and glass pitcher Of water will do
just as well, almost anybody may make
experiments in serving. The liquid first
turns black, it is claimed, then come
the pictures. Some of us may feel that
1t would, require a wait of at least a
hundred years before anything could
be seen.

FERTILIZERS NOW ON HAND
Farmers, for First Time in Several
Years, Will Be Able to Obtain
Ample Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For the first time In several years
American farmers will probably be
able to secure adequate supplies of
fertilizers for use this spring. The
supply of heterogeneous materials is re-
garded as ample because large stocks
of nitrate of soda which were brought
into the country for munition purposes
are now available for agriculture and,
In addition, the producing capacity of
ammonium sulphate plants has been
increased since 1918 from about 200,-
600 tons to approximately 100000 tons.
The department of agriculture also
has purchased out of $10I000,O00 re-
vOlving fund supply of nitrate of
soda which will be distributed to farm
ers at cost for cash, the price being
$S1 ton, plus freight.
There is in the country a large
surplus of sulphuric acid-producing
capacity. and native supplies of phos-
phate rock are available practically to
any extent demanded. Some shortage
of potash may continue, as it is not
thought that supplies can be obtained
In time for use this spring either from
Alsace or from Germany.

the Central Victory Liberty Loan ex-

One of the most striking features of
the Philadelphia campaign is the con-

French village by the artists commit
tee. Camac street, famous for its
club houses, was chosen. 1t was
rooted over with awnings, and floor

we're arranged for every day of the
campaign, and some of the clubs are
serving lunch to loan subscribers. 1t Is
known as the suggest little street in

For the first time in the history Of
the city, Philadelphians have been
given an opportunity. to use wireless
telephones The Aircraft Factory of
the Navy Yard at League Island has
set up a station at the Commercial
Museum, where they also have placed
a complete exhibit of naval aircraft Of
all descriptions. This is said to be
one of the most complete shows Of its
kind in the world.
In addition to the Court of Honor
before the Victory Statue, there are
courts dedicated to all of the Allies

The Third Federal Reserve District
staged an opening of the loan drive
not surpassed by any district in the
United States, and one of the most
spectacular was that held in Phila-
delphia.
On Saturday, two days before the
day set by Washington for the start
of the drive, Philadelphia opened
things up wide with five elaborate
sectional demonstrations, The South
Philadelphia parade was featured by
band of 1000 mummers, who never
before have marched except on New
Years Day.
In West Philadelphia the drive
started with a monster parade, led by
women on horses and dressed in red
| and black riding habits. Kensing-
ton staged an impromptu celebration
with bands parading around the
streets. The Northeast section held a
big parade, as did North Philadelphia.
The gala occasion for the entire
city was on the opening Monday night
when many thousand people thronged
| the central section of the city to at
tend the unveiling of the twenty-seven
| foot restoration of the Winged Vic
| tory of Samothrace on South Penn
| Square. Delegations from twenty-five
nations, each dressed in the national
peasant costume and singing the songs
of the land of their birth, accompanied
by over 500 musical instruments,
massed before the statue.

the growing on the land available Of

First Middle West Railroad.

The first railroad in the Middle WeS1
was built in Michigan and ran between
Detroit and Pontiac. The first section
extending as far as. Royal Oak, was
opened In 1888, and in 1889 1t extended
as far as Birmingham. 1t was not until
1843, however, that the Pontiac END
of the line was completed. The first
passenger coaches were divided into
three rooms, benches being run length
wise and passengers entering through
doors in the center of the side. The
rails were of strap or bar iron, spiked
to wooden cross ties, but were so in
effective that they frequently broke

casionally causing serious accidents
For this reason it was customary to
sheath the bottoms of the cars with
iron as a special protection.

First Bottled Beer.

One of the funniest of accidental
discoveries relates to bottled beer. In
the reign of Queen Mary a certain
dean of st. Paurs and master of West.
minister school had to fly to the con,
tinent for his life. He was angling by
the silvery Thames at the time the
warning reached him. Some years
later he returned not only to Eng
land, but to the very spot for the
very same purpose, with rod and line
Growing thirsty, he remembered thai
he had left a bottle of beer in the
hollow Of neighboring tree when he
had suddenly taken flight some years
before. The bottle was there, but
when he removed the cork it went
off with such bang as to make him
think 1t had been changed by the fai
ries to a gun.
