Sea Water for Salt,

The use of salt for seasoning and
preserving food is so ancient that the
earliest written records refer to it..
For many centuries practically all the
salt used by the human race was pro
cured by the evaporation of sea water.
This method of obtaining salt is still
employed in many localities where the
conditions are favorable. A fiat
stretch of sea coast and a hot and dry
climate are necessary If salt is to be
gotten from sea water. An ideal To-
cality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay of Cadiz, Spain. The sea
water is allowed to collect in shallow
basins. As the water evaporates the
various salts crystalline out and form
a crust. The edible salt crystaliize>
out first and is drained from the Other
salts, which are gathered in large
piles where the occasional rains and
the sun help to wash and dry out the
impurities. A considerable part OF
the crude salt is used locally for cur
ing and picking and the remainder is
shipped to refineries.

CARE OF PLANTS IN HOME
Methods to Be Followed II One Would
Keep Them Always Looking
Their Best.

The housewife need have no more
withered house plants, If she will ex-
ercise a moderate amount of judgment
in their care.
The best plan to follow in watering
a plant is TO wait until the surface is
dry to the depth of half an inch. Then
pour water over it, until 1t reaches the
saucer. Do not water again until the
surface Is dry.
To keep ferns fresh and growing, set
the fern dish in pan of water COM
ing about half an inch above the top
of the dish. The plants should be
kept in the water for about twenty
minutes every other day. Sprinkle
the foliage profusely with tepid water
and drain thoroughly.
A remedy for the plant louise and
the red spider Is a tablespoonful of
extract of nicotine added to gallon
of water. The aphis and mealie bug
are destroyed by dipping the foliage
In strong soap suds. Fir-tree oil is
the best remedy for scale, which at
tacks such smooth-leaved plants as
ivy and palms.

FORTUNES LEFT BY MISERS
Hard for Normal Mind to Understand
What Actuated the Hoarders
Of Great Riches.

Thomas Cooke, known as "the Is
lington miser," who lived life of
penury, saving and petty trickery In
lslington, borough of London, Eng
land, left a fortune of more than
100000 for his heirs to squabble over
after his death. Cooke managed to
get his meals free of cost by the old
and yet ever new trick of falling In
pretended fit In front of a house at
dinner time. He would be carried into
a house and then, on making his usual
quick recovery, he naturally would be
asked to share the meal.
Among other beggars who left for
tunes after death was jeremiah Mont
han, upon whom, when he was about
to be buried In st. Louis, was found
key to a safety deposit box. The safe
ty box contained 100000 in perfectly
good Understanding bonds. Another,
Marshall McMurran, ragged recluse.
was found In starving condition In
his tllmbledown shack on the outskirts
of Evansville, Ind. He was taken be-
fore commission for examination as
to his sanity and when he was
searched $4,000 was found in the lin
ing of his coat and In his pockets.

SAVAGES USED POISON GAS
Natives of Brazil Successfully En-
ployed That Weapon Against the
Spanish Invaders.

The Guaranis and other native
tribes along the Rio Parana, in Brazil,
used poison gas centuries ago for mil
itary purposes. How they did 1t was
described time and again by early
Spanish chroniclers, an exchange OBJ
serves.
When attacking a fortified village
they would prepare pans of glowing
Goals, which they sprinkled with a
kind of pepper called "agi." This gave
off suffocatlng fumes, which a favor
ing breeze would carry over the be-
sieged town.
The fumes did not kill, but were
sufficiently noxious to deprive the be-
sieged of all power of resistance-a
fact which beleaguered outpost gar
risons of Spaniards discovered to their
cost on more than one occasion.
In that part of the world, as else
where, the policy of the Spanish in
vaders, when dealing with the abor-
igines, was one of wholesale and sys-
tematic cruelty. They specialized in
ruthless massacre. But they did not
always win, and there survives in the
Amazon basin today a tribe called
the Lorenzos who are nearly white

their capture, centuries ago, of num-

WHEN A TYPHooN HITS GUAM
island Makes a Small Target, but
Storm Center Has Found II
All Too Frequently.

Typhoons sometimes visit the island
of Guam and are very destructive In
the path of the center. The Asiatic
typhoons originate near Guam, but un-
less the center passes directly over the
island the effect is not serious. As
the island is small this does not often
happen. But did happen in July,
1918, with disastrous results. The loss
of life was fortunately slight, but the
damage otherwise was great, consist
ing in the unroofing or total destruc-
ton Of many habitations Government
house lost a third of its roof, the loss
of all crops and the uprooting of or
serious injury to all trees. especially
coconut and fruit trees.
These typhoons are rotary storms
which have a motion of translation as
well. Their coming can be foretold
some hours In advance by an increas-
ing wind with falling barometer, and
by the direction of the wind and the
appearance of the clouds. The center
Is calm area of some miles In diam
eter, with very low barometer, caus-
Ing the sea to rise abnormally within
this low-pressure area. Around this
center the wind Is whirling at ter
rible rate. It works up gradually to
maximum as the center draws near,
and then falls abruptly to calm.

PIANO REPAYS PROPER CARE
Avoided, Also Both Dryness
and Humidity.

A plano should be carefully guarded
against extremes of heat and cold,
dryness and humidity. Never place a
piano on the exposed outer wall of
the house. In winter keep it away
from radiators, and in summer from
open windows, where the sunshine will
crack the varnish.
Remove the footboards and rub a
very soft lead pencil over the place
where the friction occurs, to stop
squeaking.
In cleaning the keys, care should
be taken that the cloth is not too wet,
and only few keys should be cleaned
at time, drying them at once. Use
a toothpick with a piece of soft linen
over 1t to remove the dust at the back
of the keys.
The most opportune time to have
the instrument tuned is in the spring
after the furnace is out and soon af-
ter the fires are started in the fall
because the change in temperature will
put it out of tune. The piano should
not be left silent too long, as disuse
will have harmful effect on the tone

MODERN READERS OF FICTION
ciate the Viewpoint Put For
ward by Authors.

Women who are giving greater I'M
portance to woman's sphere are dis
corning readers of fiction, says the
New York Evening Post. This Is the
conclusion drawn by James Hay, Jr.,
after careful observation, and 1t would
probably meet with some skept!cism
on the part of people who think that
fiction serves mainly to amuse. He
writes In a recent publication that he
long ago discovered that certain men
and women appreciate new view
points, had the knack of defending
with facts and plays of fancy their
own opinions, had their favorite sports
lowers and colors, and pleased you
with their eagerness to hear of any
new thing touching their recreation or
work-and that such men and women
had In large measure developed their
own striking personalities through in
innate intercourse with the unusual
characters whom great writer's had
found to be worth writing about"
These people, by reading fiction, had
put their hands on the motives of men,
while others depended for their knowl
edge of life and of men and women on
their own experience-and remained
"alien to the worlds great dreamers."

WORKERS ALWAYS IN DANGER
Head Hunters Wage Constant Warfare
Against Camphor Producers In the
Forests of Formosa.

Formosa, owned by Japan, holds a
practical monopoly in the worlds mar
ket of camphor. The life of a cam
phor worker is described In a bull
letin of the National Geographic So
ciety as being an adventurous one, In
that the worker Is never safe from the
Formosa head hunters. Although a
woodsman with an az never moves
except in the company of an armed
guard, there always is danger OF an
ambush. Camphor forests now exist
thanks to the head hunters Of For
mosa, for IL this menace had not ex-
listed, the forests would have disap-
peared long ago.
Camphor stills are operated In q
simple manner. Camphor chips are
placed In a chip retort over boiling wa

lied the watts are opened and the prod

to drain off. The oil will yield 80
per cent of crude camphor in the
process of refining.

Hawk and WeaseI Eiaht.

While going through the woods on
an English estate the other day, a
gamekeeper had his attention drawn
by loud screeching proceeding from a
clearing. On proceeding to the spot
to investigate he noticed big gray.
backed crow fly up from the ground
where bundles of fur and feathers ap-
peared to be locked In combat. On
going close he perceived that a hawk
was endeavoring to retain possession
of two mice, which 1t had fixed with
Its talons, while weasel was wor-
rying the hawk, which, however, re-
tanned its quarry. The fight ceased
when the contestants became aware of
the keepers presence. Evidently the
crow and weasel were determined that
the hawk should not become a food

Homes of Birds Don't Change.

Styles with the creatures out of
doors do not change. The nests of the
birds this spring will be exactly like
those they built last year. They make
no advances and no improvements, de
clares George f. Burba in the Column
bus Dispatch.
A robin wouldn't learn to build a
nest like the oriole IN a million years.
The orioles nest seems to be the best
of all the birds homes. 1t is woven
and knitted and suspended from
swinging limb high up in a tree
away out where nothing can get to 1t.
Even a squirrel would have a hard
time getting to an orioles nest and
cat couldn't do so at all. A boy can't
get out to where it is, for it is al
ways upon the end of a small branch
that would break with the boys
weight. So it would seem that the
other birds might take lessons from
the oriole and duplicate the nest for
themselves, but they do nothing of
the kind.

Birds and Their Nesta-

The robin is one of the best nest
builders. Robins prefer trees not too
heavily foliaged, like an apple tree. At
times the robin will build her nest In
a gateway or beneath the caves of
house where there is solid founda-
ton. But as general proposition It
is in tree of fairly good size. 1t is
built of straw and grass and string
and mud and Is solid and heavy. A
robins nest may be exposed to the
weather for five or six years and not
go to pieces, but 1t Is never used but
once. A few birds use a secondhand
nest, but when they do so they clean
it out and patch 1t up with new ma
terial. The oriole uses one nest year
after year, but always improves it BY
putting in new material and seeing to
it that 1t Is tied with stout strings to
the limb from which 1t is suspended

Worlds Oldest Drawings.

The oldest drawings in the world
are believed to have been made about
$4,000 years ago by prehistoric man
in the caves of the Pyrenees noun
tains, says Boys Life. Some of these
pictures show remarkable skill in
drawing, suggesting that civilization
was comparatively well advanced at
this period. From the relics of this
period 1t is believed that these men
had a religion Of some kind, that they
buried their dead were governed by
chiefs and made instruments of flint.
Examples of their painting and sculp-
ture have been found. AS man goes

seeting every object a great amount
Of scientific information is being gath

HAD BRIEF DAY OF FAME
Beautiful Paisley Shawl Achieved I'M
msnsc Popularity, but Only for
Short Time.

The story of the Paisley SHAWL
specimen, hear, has just been pre-
scented to Lady Bonham- Carter-forms
one of the shortest and most romantic
chapters In the modern history of In
dustry, says writer In the West
minister Gazette. The manufacture of
these beautiful things was begun,
reached a great height Of prosperity
and became extinct In the space of
a little over eighty years. No Paisley
shawl has been woven since 1880, and
none is likely ever to leave the looms
again. The shawl had Its origin in
the ambition Of the Paisley weavers
to produce on the loom the amazingly
elaborate patterns, woven by the
needle. Of the Cashmere shawls that
had been sent home from the East by
Scottish officers and traders to their
women folk.
The Paisley weavers were notable
craftsmen, and they produced shawl
which excelled its prototype in beauty
OF design and richness of color. Their
success was the reward Of patience,
skill, taste and delicacy Of touch
which, experts say. has probably never
been eQualed before or since
In the weaving craft. A common price
for one Of these shawls In the days
when they were not rarity was 500,
and they were worn by women of all
classes In Scotland except the very
poor. Then fashion decreed that the
Paisley shawl should no longer be the
mode, and Its fate was sealsl. Queen
Victoria gave the dying industry
new, but brief, lease of life when she
bought seventeen of the famous
shawls and wore one at the baptism
of the prince who was to become King
Edward.

Thrice blessed are they who are
pleasant to live with. They are a
blessing to themselves, to those with
whom they live, and to the world at
large. Along this line a thoughtful
writer has said most truly: "There
is a beautiful and an ugly way in
which to say almost everything, and
happiness depends on which way we
take. You can upset a person for a
whole day by the harsh way in which
you may call him in the morning, or
you may give him beautiful start by
the cheeriness of your greeting. So
not only In the words, but in all the
little common courtesies and duties of
life, think of the beautiful way of do
Ing each"

ARMENIA ONCE WAS MIGHTY
Almost Crushed by the Religion 81
Islam, Its People Learned
How to Bend"

Armenia, now regarded as a country
full of starving, oppressed people, was
once great state-one of the few
ancient people never Hellenized, ac-
cording to history. Emerging from ira
dition, a distinct Armenian people
appeared 1000 B. c., dwelling on the
tablelands near Mt. Ararat Having
no boundaries, the state was seldom
Independent, but was subjugated In
turn by Babylonia, the Modes and
Persians, the Seleucidae and the Ro-
mans.
However, conquest meant little more
than tribute in those days. In the
early middle ages, called Id the west
the dark ages, Armenia attained It's
highest position through Christianity.
In $40 A. D. Gregory the illumination.
arose and attached himself to Tirada-
ties, who soon became king. After
much persecution, Gregory christian
lied the whole state. Then, in the
seventh century, Armenia met Its
worst enemy, the religion of Islam.
In the old days the state stretched
from the Caspian sea to the Mediter-
ranean, and the other boundaries ebb-
ed and flowed according to those left
by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that swept over
them, at one time reaching from Per
STA to Syria. Like a Jew in appear
ance, the Armenian was prosecuted
like a Jew. He has strong business
instinct and talent for languages like
the Jew, and has also learned how to
bend, instead of break, before his per-
secutors.

Is a Hatbox a PASSENGER?

then he demanded that she sit up so
that his daughters and their hatboxes

adventure in "Going to Leon" In
Travel magazine, was growing more

that hatboxes do not belong in seats.
Then, papa became a miniature Vesu-
