other trouble with my kidneys for

quick demand developed for light
reading, but it has changed and grown
so that now the best books are most

ISLAND SAVED BY WOMEN
How the Female Population of Helgo-

Danish Admiral.

Helgoland, the naval wall flower
during the World war, had its fate
decided, upon one memorable occasion,
by the women of the island, according
to a bulletin of the National Geograph-
ic society. About the time William
Penn was settling Pennsylvania a
Danish admiral captured the islands
fishermen one night while they we're
placing their nets. He threatened
to hold them as hostages until the
island surrendered to Denmark.
Wives, mothers and sisters arose and
forced the Danish garrison TO re-
linquish any claim upon. Helgoland.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries Helgoland was a center of
the North sea herring fisheries. Then
herring veered back to Scotland's
coast and the islanders handed down
tale of the impiety by which they
forfeited the boon. Until a few years
ago horses were unknown to the is
land One story has it that when an
old woman saw an Englishman ride
up the hills she dropped dead from
the shock of what she believed was
supernatural creature.

The Oldest of
all Republics

There can be no question that the
United States is the greatest as well
as the largest republic on earth, but
it is by no means the oldest. That
honor undoubtedly belongs to the
Swiss Confederation, the citizens of
which had fete years ago in celebra-
ton of it's six hundredth anniversary.
Situated in the center of Europe, sur
rounded for centuries by monarchies
and depotisms, this little republic is
an object of peculiar interests, especi-
ally to us.
The whole area of the twenty-five
Swiss cantons is less than a third of
that of the State of New York, and
their population is a little more than
half. But their history contains some
of the most stirring episodes in the
struggle for human freedom, and they
have been the theatre of experiments
in the science of government even
more varied and striking than those
which have marked the development
of the United States.
We are obliged to go back more than
six hundred years to trace the founda-
ton of this republic. The league OF
the three forest cantons of uri,
Schwyz and Unterwalden probably
goes back to the very beginning OF
their existence as organized communi-
ties, and was framed long before the
art of the penman was available for
the record of such an alliance. 1t was
formallp committed to writing in 1921,
and in it must be sought the germ OF

Italian children go with their par

In France, children put their shoes
in a convenient place. for the gifts to
be dropped into. Sometimes, if the
shoe of a add boy is among them, he
will find whip in his in the morning.
German children lie awake on
Christmas eve for the coming of the

The Charm OF the
Personal Gift

The enduring charm and sincere ap-
probation of the recipient makes the
bestowal of the personal gift we'll
worth the time, patience and skill that
have been lavished upon it.
The donor may be sure that it car
ries Yuletide message which no
other holiday souvenir could possibly
bring. Moreover, it indicates that the
giver did not rush out and madly
round up "last-minute" gifts, choosing
anything available when the. deadline
of Christmas Eve was approaching.
That, in itself. is an Infinitely cheer
ing thought when so much commercial
hubbub enters into our holiday shop
ping quest every year and leaves us
quite as frazzled as a picked-over
Christmas bargain counter.
Where there is ample time, elabor-
ate gifts may re made, but with only
two weeks ahead, articles should be
chosen that do not require hours of
tedious work.
One of the dainty alluring things
that many women are making at home
are kerchiefs of colored linen, various
ly hand-embroidered in delicate posies,
hemstitched and frequently run
through wit hcontrasting threads of
linen thread. The colorful requisites
are twelve inches square, the edges
rolled and then held by colored
stitches of black thread.
Threads are drawn to suggest mar
row or wide borders and then hem
stitched wit ha contrasting thread or
one is run through the weave. An at
tractive kerchief recently made was
an orange-colored linen having two
lines of black and turquois blue in the
centre, two and half inches from the

cites, looking like seed pearls, were
added to two corners in delicate tones
of old pink, buff, orchid and blue with
minute green foliage.
The designing of these dainty things
is fascinating and new schemes con-
stantly suggest themselves. Both bril-
liant and pasted shades are admired.
Camisole tops of lace with ribbon
or lace shoulder straps are easily made
and gift that always finds welcome
for no one can have too many attrac-
tive camisoles. Two-toned ribbon is
preferred to plain or figured, though in
very delicate tones the latter are eff
fectivt where the quality of the ribbon
is unquestionable and there is a wee
cord on the edge.

Some Revolutionary Heroes

Washington and Lafayette are
names familiar in our mouths as
household words" but there were
manv other brave men in Revolution
ary times whose names and services
we cannot recall except by searching
the pages of history. Some of them
died with their faces to the foe in the
flush Of victory, while others lived to
see freedom planted in their midst
and the republic achieving the trl-
umphs of peace and progress. But
they all deserved we'll of posterity, and
it is good at any time to look back
upon their history and learn lesson
from their patriotism and self-sacriflce
With them we should remember the
allies who came to us from over tire
sea. who shared uncomplainingly our
many privations, and who asked nell
Their honor nor reward for the labor
which they performed so ungrudgingly.
Baron Steuben, Prussian nobleman
was a. soldier when only fourteen years
of age and served under Frederick the
Great. He came to this country IN
1777 and joined the army under WASH
ington at Valley Forge. He was MADE
a major general, fought in the battle
of Monmouth, distinguished himself at
Yorktown, and, in company with
Lafayette and Wayne, chased Corn
wallis down the Virginia peninsula.
New Jersey and New York gave him
lands, and the National Government
an annuitp of $780, He withdrew
from society, built log house on his
domain and lived there until his death
in 1894.
Baron De Kaib, native of Alsace,
rose to the rank of brigadier general
in the French army. He came with
LAFAYETTE to this country in TIT, and
was appointed major general by the
Continental Congress. He served
under Washington, and in 1880 was
sent to the relief of Lincoln at Charles
ton, but arrived too late. After that,
he was commander in the South, but
was soon succeeded by General Gates,
and became that officers second IN
command. In the battle at Sanders
Creek. near Camden, S. c., he fell,
pierced with eleven wounds, and died
three days afterward.
General Lebegue Duportail came to
this country from France in 1777 and

mental army. He was directing eagi-
neering at the siege Of Yorktown in

still visible. lie returned to France
and was made Minister of War, but

ceived from Washington the Order Of
the Society of the Cincinnati.
He returned to France, became
favorite at Court, and was the dis
guised coachman in the fight of the
royal family from Versailles. Then
he went back to his native country,
and was made Grand Mrashal of
Sweden. Q
He was suspected of being privy to
the death of Prince Christian of
Sweden and on June 20, 1910, while
marshaling the funeral procession in
Stockholm, was seized by a mob and
tortured to death.

ishment, fed to America.
In 1777 he entered the continental
army as volunteer, and received the
commission of colonel. He was ac-
tive and daring, and in 1888 his serv-
ices were recognized by his appoint
ment as brigadier general.
Returning to France he took part
in the Revolution, espousing the cause
of the royalists of La Vendee and Brit
tany. The execution of Louis XVI so
shocked his nervous system that he
sank under it and died.
| Duke de Lauzun was another
Frenchman who came to America with
Rochambeam He was placed in COM
mand of force known as "Lauzun's
Legion" with which he took part in
the siege of Yorktown.
When he returned to France, he
took his seat as deputy in the States
General, and successfully commanded
the Army of the Rhine and the Army
of the Coasts of Rochelle. He was
faithful to the Revolutionary leaders,
but when he persisted in asking to be
allowed to resign his commission they
sent him to the guillotine.
No mention of these brave men
would be complete without speaking
of Count de Rochambeau, who had en-.
tered the French Army at the age OF
sixteen years, and was distinguished
in several battles.
He brought to America military
force, and the French King made him
a lieutneant general. He Joined the
American army under Washington, led
his soldiers to Virginia and assisted in
the capture of CORVALLIS at York
