SEVEN "MlSTRtSSES OF SEA"
Including Tyre, Only That Number of Nations Have Right to Title of
 High Honor.

Mark Sullivan, writing in Golfers . on Americas Part in the New World The Heritage of Tyre" quotes an other writer as follows. referring 10 nations that have held the position of the Mistress of the Seas"
 ''Since the day that man first Strad- dled a floating log and started human ity adventuring by sea, the intervening centuries have seen Ony seven nations possessed of sufficient genius to dOmi nate the earth's deep waters. Durin" 2.24S years Tyre has had but seven true heirs. Tyre, in her time. was the Inspiration of all commerce. Ire spective of nationality. all who traf- licked by sea were called merchants of Tyre and all vessels Of burden ships of Tyre Dynasties lived ny grace of Tyres credit. and died at rhe calling of her loans. With the passing of Tyre, the position went to Cartha "e i; after Carthage to the Italian cities. Venice. Genoa, Florence and Naples. Italy held her dominance for 1OO years. until the Hanseatic League of Cities took the crown of commerce to the Baltic sea. Then Portugal forced her self tO the front. That was preceding the discovery of America by Spain. With the aggressiveness of which that discovery was characteristic. Spain took the leadership away from Portu- gal. Spain held it 200 years and lost It to Holland. Holland held it for some generations and lost 1t to Great Britain"

HAVE SUFFERED FOR ITALY
Remarkable Fact That Her Two Great Poets Should Be Injured in the
 Same Manner.

Gabrielle D'AnnunZiO and Sem Ben elli. Italy'S two most famous modern poets and dramatists. each has lost rhe sight of one eye in the war.
 A literary rivalry that existed be tween the two men before the War was carried by both into the field of patriotic endeavor. Fate has seen to It that neither has surpassed the other In personal injuries and sacri- Aces.
 Although both were beyond military age. D'Annunzio being over fifty when the war broke out, both volunteered for active service. D'Annunzio. who several years before the war had had trial flight in an airplane with Glen Curtiss, chose aviation, while Benefit chose the navy.
 D'AnnunZio received his injury to the eye in a violent landing of his air plane. the force of the shock all hut driving the eyeball from the socket.
 Benefit received his injuries while aboard an Italian torpedo boat that was bombarding Pola.
 D'AnnunziO has been known in the United States for years. Benelli's best known work in America per haps is his poetical drama "L.a Cena delle Beffe."

'ADORN' FACE WITH MUSTACHE
Hairy Anus Would Seem to Have Peculiar Ideas as to What Adds
 to Feminine Beauty

The AinuS. the "Cellic" race of Japan. live in the island of Yeddo all though the race has become so re. duced that. it is estimated. th TO are now not more than 16,00O or l1.Wto of them left in the country.
 The most noticeable peculiailty about Ainu women is that they have tattooed upon their upper and lower lips what resembles muStache. The women are not considered attractive and their matrimonial prospects, are quite injured, without this decoration
 The mustache is begun when the girl is quite a child, until it extends partly across the cheek, the material used being the soot from burning birch bark. The face is cut and the black rubbed in. Afterward 1t IS washed in solution of ash bark liquor to fix the color.
 The Ainu women are said to be usually finely formed, straight and well developed, with small hands and feet. Their eyes are a beautiful sort brown, their hair black and most lux uriant and their complexion olive, with often a deep, rich color in their checks.
 The native cloth-of which their garments are made--is woven from the fiber of the bark Of the elm tree. Louisville COurierJOurnal.

In an article ''On Natures Trail" In Boys Life, Dr. Edward s. Bigelow writes of the last flower of the sea- son. the witch hazel, as follows:
 "If we should look at the witch hazel as the last flower of the season. to 1t we would award the bOoby prize But If we consider 1t in connection with Its braving of the cold weather in an effort to beautify The woods. we would give 1t the first prize. No other flower of the year SO bravely withstands the cold weather. It he gins to bloom In November or even little earlier. and clings consistently to It's twigs until the first of January or even later, sprinkllng the shades of the woods with It's feathery. dainty golden bloom. It is said also that It has valuable medicinal qualities. IL now Is one of the ingredients Of vari- ous well-known extracts of witch hazel.

The Larqest Tree.

The most remarkable tree in the world, perhaps, is the banyan. of In- dia. A tree of this species, on an is- land in the Nerbudda river, is believed to be the same one that is, mentioned by Alexander the Great. The branches send down numerous aerial" roots that grow down to the soil and form props or additional trunks until single tree often covers SD large an area that 1t will shelter thousands of men. At the time of Alexander the Grears visit, one tree covered so ex- tensive an area that it sheltered ten thousand men. Under the protectino shade of these trees the Indian mer- chants still conduct their markets. The merchants are known as ''hanians." |" because they ahStained from meat for many centuries. hut modern customs have driven out many of the Hindn'S traditions.-People's Home Journal.

Ancient Church Still In Use.

A little church two hundred and eighteen years old is still used as place of worship. It stands near the York river in Yorktown, Va. Erected In 17OO by the English colonists, it stood undisturbed for more than 100 years. In 1914 1t was partly burned by landing force from British naval vessels In the York river It was re- built In 1925 just as 1t stands today. The bell was cast in England in 1725 and was presented to the church by Queen Anne. The original communion service Is still in use. This old church stands on historic ground. It was here that was fought the closing battle of the War of the Revolution by which American and French troops forced the surrender of the British under COrnwallis. winning American free dom.

 You will look splendid in a dress of that" Jack enthused. You are very sensible to purchase now. You are the only person in town who agrees with me. though, I'Il venture to say"
 Then We are the only sensible peO- pie in town" she said, decidedly. They think at home that l am fOOl- ish to invest so much of my little for tune on things to put away, hut time will tell. Father thinks l have lost my head. but at the same time he says that diamonds will double in price be- fore this time next year."
 'ls that sOF' Jack exclaimed, Goodness knows how soon might need diamond. I had better see your father right away"
 Let me sell you one. am bcip- ing in the store during my holidays. 1 can tell you the setting she will like best"
 Jack blushed to the roots of his hair, but Jessie laughed gayIy. He didn't make his choice the first day, but called often to discuss il with the eager young saleslady. He did not tell her, of course, that he had not met the young lady who was to wear the ring, but was just buying it in the expectation of being engaged some. time. It was following out his Idea of preparedness.
 Once the purchase had been made, he regretted that he had not taken longer in making the choice. Not that he was not satisfied with the one Jes. sie had persuaded him to take, but 1t meant the loss of an excuse to call at the jewelry store when the jewellers daughter was In charge. Jessie had always appeared attractive to him, but now she appeared the most wonder ful girl in the world.
 Why hadn't he recognized her be- fore as his Ideal girl? he asked him. self. Just when he had realized it it was too late. for already Jessie i;iG bought her wedding dress.
 How lucky the other man was. he thought. It was hard to give her up
 After he had purchased the ring Jack did not make any more pur' chases of things to lay aside. When he viewed the things In his wardrobe and every other conceivable place to store things the suspicion that he had made mistake came over him. There were more things than he would be able to wear before they became too far out of style to be pre-. Sentable. How much better it would have been if he had saved his money.
 However. there was still substan- tial credit balance to his account In the bank, but just the same he would like to have unburdened some of the things he had. There were enough clothes and toggery in his possession to start haberdashery. His last purchase was the worst white eie- phant of all.
 Most likely he was doomed to bache- lorhood, now that the only girl who could make him happy was engaged to some one else. Perhaps it would be best to give everything be had stored

Interesting Story of Roosevelt Told By

when the Cononel was President.
The Roosevelt Memorial Association

President made a tour of inspection

Grahame was naturally anxious to
show the result of his labors. Just
at that time the Colonel was interested
