Patti's Beauty Vanishes.

According to a writer in Everybody's Magazine. Patti lives, not only in oul hearts, but really, in the flesh, at the age of seventy-six. in her magnincen' castle of Craig-y-Nos, ten miles nortf of Swansea, in South Wales, on which she has spent quite half a million She lives there with her third husband Baron Cederstrom, and sometimes when they feel inclined, they throw open their theater, a replica of the Baireuth theater, to the countryside and give one of the operas in which Patti once thrilled the world. Until recently Patti was even sometimes prevailed upon to appear at Albert hall in London for the benefit of some char ity, but her beauty is quite gone-it vanished far earlier than her voice and so for the most part she is hap piest in her Welsh fastnesses among the neighbors, who will always call her the Queen of Wales.'"

Dutch Select MLreIesa Site.

The site for the wireless station in- tended for communication between the Netherlands and the Dutch East h. dies has finally been decided on. The Koelberg hill, which is S6 meters high and located in Hoog Buurlo. near Abel doorn. was selected, according to the Scientific American.
 A new railway line will be con- structed from Kaatwyk. The station is to have four towers, each 21O meters high, a large power house and build ing for housing the operatives. The communicating station in India is to be built near Bandoeng in the Prean- ger, so that the distance between the two stations will be some 11.OOO kilo- meters.

CHARLATAN HAS "SoFT SNAP"
Constantinopie Street Scribe Finds Easy Dupes Among Those Who
 Seek His Services.

Often in niche in the wall of a Constantinople mosque or in a deep inset window close to the ground there sits, cross-legged, perhaps with pair of spectScles on his nose, person distinguished above the mass, a man of letters. In front of him stands a little desk for holding papers and a book or two, wooden pen, an ink bottle, and some sand for blotting In writing, however, the sage rolls the pa. per upon his finger requiring no other rest for letter or for arm.
 A contributor to Asia Magazine, who is familiar v-:th the ways of the near East. surmises that such conversa tion as the following frequently takes place over the letter writer's table:
 "From whom?" asks the wise man of the women. who have humbIy pre- sellted letter.
 "Our husband, effendi."
 Most beloved of my wives." com mences the 1attering reader. 'I am well. I wish you are we'll. The wealth CT is we'll The cattle are well o.. :" Here, pauSing a moment and studying the paper closely, he inquires: What is your husbands name?"
 "Almoon, effendi."
 "Ah, yes, Almoon. Your husbands writer does not form his characters we'll"
 Satisfied, the women pay two met alliks and depart.
 Some weeks later they return with another letter, and similar questions and answers pass between them and the old impostor. But when they ap- pear before Rim again in still few more weeks, the crafty fellow recog- nizes them and immediately begins to read:
 My beloved wives, I hope you are we'll, I am"
 But, effendi," the women interrupt him gently, "this letter, we thought, was from some one else; our husband has returned"
 "Ah, you should have told me sol" The scribe looks at them reproach- fully; so responsibility that they mur- mur an apology and depart.-Youth's Companion.

Stone Goes the Rounds.

A merchant in a little town does business with an illiterate farm wom- an who comes to town once a month and trades him 20 pounds of butter for 20 pounds of sugar.
 She is too ignorant to know the price of butter, but she is smart enough to know other things. The butter she brings him comes in the form of big roll, and inside the roll of butter the woman always hides a stone weighing three pounds. Every time she brings the butter the merchant cuts open the roll and takes out the stone and puts it in the sack of sugar before he weighs it. Thus, the woman gets IT pounds of sugar for IT pounds of but ter. and imagines she Is cheating the merchant.
 The stone comes back in the roll of butter every month, and the mer- chant sends 1t back just as regularly in the same sack.-Nashville Ten nessean.

 Great Britain At Work
 Ambitious plans along this line are being worked out in Great Britain. This is in connection with the replace ment of the men who have been in the service of their country and who are now ready to go back to work at their former occupations or whatever new positions may be open from them. In order to help them get esta bIished once more and be happy, contented and prosperous in their civil life once more, there is a plan afoot in England which may be modified in some of its details, which will settle many of the former service men on the land in large numbers. This will be partly garden or farm land an acre or so in extent. This will give the men an opportunity to earn their living by working in the neighbori0g town or by tilling The land which they occupy, or by a combina- ton Of both. on the land which is furnished them they will be able to have Q good-sized garden to supply their own needs and the same time raise some vegetables and other prod ucts for sale if they desire. On the land they will have room also for keeping some poultry and pigs and for fruit growing. In addition the plan which is being advocated in England also calls for farms for these returned men. Each farm will be under the care of a manager and will be culti-

worker is so close that 1t is impossible to separate the two. Of course, there are other factors which enter into the question and industrial concerns have been trying to answer these by pro noting in various ways the welfare of their employees For instance, here is what the Norton Company, of Wor- cester, Mass, which has been encour- aging home food production and gar dening among it's men, says on this important subject:
 \ Great Success
 'The Norton gardening activities are no longer an experiment. On the con trary, they are quite a qualified sue cess, and the Norton Agricultural So ciety is looked upon by the com pany and it's employees as a permanen- iz- stitution. Many who have never handled the spadtng fork and the hoe are becoming enthusiastic amateur gardeners. Many of the latter. through interest and study and the wholesome rivalry among the members Of the society, are fast developing into skill ful farmers able 10 reap increasingly profitable harves-s.
 Far from turning a good workman into a poor farmer, one Of the most important results of the Norton gar den activities has been the making Of good worEmen into better wori-Ilc-l. The procession of men who at the end of Q sumner afternoon in the shop tramp over the hiu 70 enjoy an hour of vigorous exercise out-of-doors, is matched the following morning by the returning ranks Of clear-eyed, wig orous men ready to engage with equal enthusiasm in the regular vocational

work which they have chosen. The harvest time which brings 10 the man the tangible evidence of what intel ligent effort, persistence and industry will produce in the garden, gives him a clear realization that the exercise of the same qualities in the shop is as certain to bring it's reward. Better still, as the officers of. the company and it's men busy themselves in their gardens side by side. there arises the spirit Of comradcship as among all who embark together on some great adventure''
 The world has just completed one great adventure" in which hundreds of thousands of men from all walks of life, the rich mans son and the poor mans son. the heads of big concerns and the men who worked under them. gave their lives that liberty, truth and justice might prevail. The world has now entered upon another great ad- ventUro''-that of restoring the nations to their former prosperity and happl- ness, binding up the wounds Of cos1- merce and industry which have been made and giving the worker and the returning soldier his proper share of return for the labor he performs.
 Better WorItmcn
 Making good workrnen" into 'bet- ter workmen.' That is one of the aims that is sought. Get the workman settled on the land, even if it is only 9 small patch; get him 10 culivat-ug q piece Of ground or d garden, either at his own home or in a community tract provided for a group of workers. There is nothing that tends so much 10 give him a feeling of contentIaent and satisfaction with his work and his

They will be partners in the farm enterprise, bene- fit by it's progress and share in the profits IL is felt that this will give them a real interest in the work and in whatever other industry they are engaged in while not working on the farm. T. will help to put men on the land, and will add to food production. The workers will be raising at least part of their own food and at the sa me time increasing the nations supply and thus helping workers elsewhere indirectly.

 Bl- industrial concerns all over the country have been helping their em- pl0yes through welfare interest" de- partments and similar methods to be come better wOTkmen and at the same time better citizens. One of the means which is being employed in connection with this mutual bctterment plan is to have the men buy their own homes. l, is with a real sense of pride that the workman says: This is my home" It gives him pride in him self, in his work and in his com munity.
 The organizations. therefore. which are encouraging this year the "own a home" campaign are rendering a lasting $, -viCe to the country. The more people there are in the United States who are the actual possessors of their own homes, the better will 1t be for the industrial progress. the civic improvement and the political advancement Of the nation Democ- racy will be furthered by this pro- gram.

 eeRo ONIE." What magic in that
 ksA word. l. is the word that
 won the war. The way the
 & English and French soldier fought was due to the fact h" had a going interest in home somewhere. He knew the value of piece of land The collapse Of Russia was due to the fact that the Russian soldier knew nothing of either for he was a tenant and therefore had no interest in the stakes of war This is best illustrated by Major Nutter. of the Canadian Army. who spoke at a luncheon of the ISiwanis Club in Washington the other day The illustration Major Natter made also showed how little Germany, with all her vaunted efficiency, knew of human nature.
 Major Sutter told how the men around Gpres got the word that Zep- pelin raids were being made over Lon don and that homes were belns wrecked by bombs. Then. Major Nut ter pointed out. the men in the front line trenches knew what they were fighting for. Some of them. tho Major said. might have been in these trenches against their will al first, but Germany told them, better than Great Britain's propaganda could tell them, just what they were there for-to pro- tect their homes.
