Houses Of Presidents.

In connection with the efforts to re-
store the birthplace of Theodore Roose-
velt at % East Twentieth street, New
York, it is recalled that an attempt
was made several years ago to acquire
the old house in which President
James Monroe died. The project never
got beyond the placing in 1905 Of a
memorial tablet on the house.
The old house, one of the archaic
structures in the city, and much the
worse through years of neglect, is on
the northwest corner of Lafayette and
Prince streets. For years the lower
portion was used as junk shop. 1t
still presents the characteristics of the
well-to-do residence during the early
part of the last century-three stories
high, with dormer windows protruding
from the attic. The house was built
by Samuel L. Gouverneur, who mar
ried one of Monroe's daughters.

French Train Operation Poor.

The French method of train opera
ton differs sharply from the Ameri-
can. In the United States 1t Is GUS
tomary to move the trains by means
of the block signal system, under the
orders Of train dispatchers In France
the chef de gare. a sort of sublimated
station agent, is supreme. He is in alb
solute charge of all trains that pass
through his station and Of the allot-
ment Of cars within his district. A
through train having reached his sta
ton. it cannot leave without his per-
mission. This practice brings about
such a condition that fewer trains are
operated over French double-track
line than could be handled over an
American single-track line equipped
with block signals and dlspatchers.

The Green-Eyed Monster.

Europe's growing Jealousy of Amer
lea is revealing itself more plainly
every day. Even France is not i'm
mune from the propaganda of the
green-eyed monster, for lie Matin, one
of the largest and most influential of
Paris newspapers, has come forward
with the assertion that the jazz band
idea did not originate In the United
States, but that French cats were
trained to emit the same kind of dis
cords more than IA century ago. We
expect to be Informed next that the
Declaration of Independence was
copied from French almanac. and
that Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettys-
burg grafton won second prize at a
French high school commencement In
the era Of Louis XIV.

INDIAN KNEW WHERE TO DIG
Considerably Mystified Residents
Of Missouri Town.

The region about Caruthersville,
Mo-, Is rich in lore about hidden gold
and silver and mounds rich with pot
terry. Too, there are great, strange
caves to be found thereabouts, never
ending subjects for speculation and
wonderment, say the Kansas City
Star.
A few years ago an Indian went to
Charlottesville with several skin maps
and dug up pottery that was worth
several thousand dollars. He offered
$500 to be allowed to dig into one
mound near the town. However, the
owner decided that If the mound was
worth so much money for explora-
ton purposes he would do the explOr-
ing. He did and found nothing.
Some time later the Indian returned
to that section, hired man with
wagon and team and drove out into
the country to spot where three
pecan trees grew in triangle. He
dug down and unearthed two boxes,
so heavy that man could not lift
one end of either. He had them
shipped away and to this day their
contents is much discussed mystery
Of that locality.

EXPLAINS CAUSE OF MYOPIA
Physician Asserts It Is Caused by OBJ
struction Of Outflow Of Lymph,
Due to Muscular Effort.

The assumption that close applica-
tion is the cause of myopia or near
sightedness is not regarded as sat
isfactory explanation. In recent num-
her Of the Lancet the theory is advo-
Gated by DIR. Ethridge Green that the
primary and essential cause is an OBJ
struction of the outflow of the lymph.
The obstruction may be produced by
severe muscular effort, such as lifting
heavy weights, when feeling of ten
sion is always experienced in the eyes.
which appear, in extreme cases, to
be starting from the head. This is
more especially the cause Of progress
sive myOpia among warehouse men.
porters and others whose work in
wolves excessive effort, while with
those engaged in sedentary occupa-
tions the form of exercise taken may
be responsible, as, wrestling. rowing,
digging and also coughing. Thus when
signs of commencing myopia appear
anything likely to increase the intraoc-
u!ar tension should be avoided. There
is no need to avoid reading.

Shark Meat is Tasty.

Shark meat Is delicate in flavor and
texture, and sharks are plentiful in
certain parts Of Florida, but the fish
ermen do not catch them because they
are not salable.
The home demonstration agent Of
Monroe county Florida, decided last
winter on an effort to establish in
favor this fish now under the ban. Al
her request fisherman caught one,
but warned her that no one would eat
1t. Undismayed, she invited large
company Of women to home econom.
les luncheon. at which was served n
fish salad.
When all had tnsted the salad she
asked for vote as to how many liked
and wanted the recipe. Without ex.
ception the women voted their hearty
approval, and thus proved to them
selves that the presudice was without
foundation.-Clevela Plain Dealer.

POVERTY IN SOUTH AMERICA
Appalling Conditions Under Which
Many Have to Exist in Latin
American Countries.

Consider for a moment the condi-
tions under which thousands upon
thousands of Latin Americans live.
Out in the country they can get fresh
air. But in the city they live with one
window and door. Seventy-five per
cent of the houses have no baths and
% per cent have no water facilities.
Eight to ten families use the same
faucet and toilet in the open court.
Men, women and children live in the
same room, without ventilation. &.
Now, 1t is bad enough for men and
women to live so, but it is worse that
children should grow up without any
memories of pleasant home. Yet
there are thousands of children to
whom the necessaries and the decen-
cies of life are unknown and to whom
'home" means an old freight car.
Many Mexican girls marry at thir-
teen and have ten or eleven children
by the time they are twenty-six. Tho
men are employed at seasonal jobs in
the sugar-beet fields, on the railroads,
in the mines, harvesting beans, in
orange and lemon orchards and doing
construction work. Drunkenness is
common. Babies are born into world
which has no clothes for them and
shirts and overalls are lacking for the
older children. Ignorance and super
stition abound.-World Outlook.

LAUGHED AT TIMES PASSAGE
Blue Delft Saucer, Long Sunk In
Ocean, Benefited by Century
Immersion In Ocean.

The act of fishing smack off Eye
mouth, Berwickshire. England brought
to the top of the sea recently q long
dead memory. A blue Delft saucer,
deeply incrusted with barnacles, lay
among the Hopping fish in the net, and
1t bore a picture Of one of the old
British coasting and sailing vessels,
with the words ECLIPSE, Ldn. and
Edinboro, Shipping Coy"
Now, the Eclipse was lost at sea
106 years ago. No one survived, no
bodies were thrown up, no wreckage
definitely identified with the lost
schooner was ever washed against
known shores.
Yet. over century later, china
saucer is recovered! It's blue, accord
ing to reports, had taken on a won
derfully deep shade, tinged with
green, and was very beautiful.
The London and Edinburgh Ship
ping company bought the relic for
about $50 of our money and gave that
svm to the British Red Cross. The
saucer was sent to the British
museum.

PROPERLY PROUD OF HOTEL
Right to Boast Of Their Mag
nificent Caravansary.

Alexandria, La. is known through
out the South as the little town with
the big hotel. Strangers always re-
mark the incongruity Of the metropol-
itan ediflce apparently fallen by acci-
dent into this quiet little place.
II seems that in Alexandria's ante
hotel days. wealthy man and his
small dog were stopping at the town
inn. One day the innkeeper and guest
had a lively argument over the dog. Its
owner replied that he and his dog
would not be among those present at
the inn in the future and departed
proudly, intimating darkly that the
innkeeper would be sorry. He then
made good his threat by building a
hotel such as Alexandria had never
dreamed Of seeing. and here dog and
master took up their residence and
gathered to themselves all the tran
sient trade of the town.
Alexandria wears its hotel proudly,
trifle self-consciously 1t is the
show place of the town and its as
sertive stone grandeur commands re-
spect and Difference. A town that
boasts hotel inclosing marble halls
ending In grand staircase and a
Spanish patio adorned with fountain
as an extra attraction must assume
an air of dignity in keeping with Its
Importance.
Aexandria's other claim to notice
is the fact that only few years ago
the Louisiana legislature conducted a
series of spirited arguments as to the
removal of the state capital from
Baton Rouge to Alexandria. In the
end Alexandria lost out and was
forced to console itself with the fame
1t acquired from it's big hotel.

Began Life In coaIplt

Sir Joseph Cook, the minister Of the
Australian navy and one Of the COM
monwealth's delegates to the peace
conference, began life in coalpit in
Staffordshire, England. While a work.
ing miner he sought to improve his
education in every way, and in his
spare moments in the pit acquired a
knowledge of shorthand. At the age
of twenty-five he decided to try his
luck in Australia and went to New
South Wales In 1885. He obtained
work in mine near Sydney and took
an active interest in promoting the
welfare Of his fellOw-workers. He
then became secretary of the local
miners waion and this proved the step
ping-stone to political life.

"lmka."

"1mka" is the name by which the
Y. NJ. c. A. is known in Czecho-Slo-
vakia, for "Imka" is the reasonable
pronunciation Of those four letters in
the language of the mid-European
land. The Imka is very popular. When
the republic Of Czecho- -Slovakia was
established. Its citizens who had re-
turned from fighting with the allies
urged that the Imka, with its canteens,
hut service, athletics and recreation, be
invited to come with them. The invi-
tation was given and now the Imka
has been developed on an army basis
with centers in ten towns and is con-
templating establishing center in the
famous coal mine region of Teschen,
which is the bone of contention be.
tween the new republic and the Poles.
AS this new republic is said to hold
the worlds record for literacy. only
l per cent being unable to read or
write, the American "Y" secretaries
find splendid cooperation in their &C.

sTEERED BY SIXTH SENSE
Exploits Of Dllndfeided Norwegian

Danish Scientists.

Scientists in Denmark are puzzled
by Norwegian. one Emil Knudsen.
who, although blindfolded and care
fully watched. steered a steamer
through the intricate channels Of the
harbor of Copenhagen. keeping a true
course and adroitly dodging other ves-
sells. He explains this by claiming the
possession Of q sixth sense"
Knudsen Is man of middle age.
When he came to Denmark from Chris
tiania, he became at once an object of
interest to both scientist and layman.
He was put through many experiments
by one of the leading nerve specialists
Of Europe, and as a result the spe-
cialist suggested the trip into the har-
Dor. Knudsen said that he could guide
himself anywhere without using hrs
eyes, and steamer was chartered to
put him to supreme test. Knudsen
had no knowledge of the harbor. He
requested that a person knowing the
channel should hold two finger-t!ps
against the side of his head. Profess
sor Fridenreich consented to this. and
himself pressed two finger-tips against
Knudsen's temples.
The man handled the wheel without
sign of nervousness or uncertainty.
1t was impossible for him to see, yet
he took more than dozen sharp cor
ners and followed zigzag course
throughout. All the scientists who
witnessed the demonstration said that
Knudsen possesses mysterious pow
er that actually may be sixth sense.

money isn't everything" says the
spendthrift as he scatters his wages
to the four winds.
Then he reaches middle life, with
old age in the foreground, vainly wish
ing for the return OF the misspent
coin.
It may be true that money isn't
everything, but one thing Is absolute
ly certain. Old Man Money, If he is
cultivated through life, will not de-
sert the friend who has cultivated
him. When every human friend has
fled Old Man Money sticks. You can
start him Off with five or ten cents a
day in early life and keep feeding
him that amount all through life, and
In old age you will have on your
hands financial Frankenstein, albeit
a pleasant and highly agreeable one.
If you find the rgors of the north
Old Man Money on the shoulder, and
he HES you to Palm Beach; If you are
sick another tap on the shoulder
brings you the best nurses and special
lists the world affords. He's an agree
able old man, never disputes orders
and is always ready for duty. He
makes the proverbial busy bee and
the equally industrious ant look like
pikers, for he never rests. He's one
size when you go to sleep and larger
when you wake up. The older he
gets the stronger he becomes. If you
are stranger in a large city, Old
Man Money opens the doors of the
best hotels and stakes you to the best
the town affords.
But money isn't everything, at that.

HERE BIRDS FIND. SANCTUARY
Area In Delta Of Yukon River, Value.
less for Other Purposes, 10 Now
Probably Employed.

The most important, and by far the
largest in extent. Of our national
"refuges" for the preservation of wild
birds is vast area in the delta Of
the Yukon river, proclaimed as such
by an edict from the White House
just ten years ago.
1t Is an area approximately equal
to sachusetts, and the most valu-
able feather species concerned are
wild geese and wild ducks. which breed
there in countless numbers.
There is found the proper home Of
the "emperor" goose, the "white-
fronted" goose, and many species Of
ducks which are sought as game in
other latitudes.
The region is known as tundra
country"-devoid Of trees, swampy,
with many lakes. and Of no possible
usefulness for agriculture or any 9TH
er purpose. If, however. the wildfowl
are there safeguarded on their breed
ing grounds, 1t will be a permanent
source of game and food supply for
Alaska and the entire Pacific coast.
In order that this may come to pass,
1t is necessary that the birds shall be
protected during the mating season
against the wholesale slaughter which
formerly was conducted by pot-hunt-
elss and alleged sportsmen from year
to year-a method commonly adopted
haing to drive the helpless creatures
into pens built for the purpose, where
they were ruthlessly murdered.
