Embarrassing Situation.

1 have been teaching at the same
place for fifteen years, have family
and up to short time ago was con-
'sidered respectable, but my most en-
barrassing moment also greatly low
cred my standing in this town.
At recess, when all the pupils had
gone to the recreation room and I
sat alone at my desk, one of the
young lady teachers came in and,
after making me swear to keep her
secret until the close Of the school
year, told me she had married my
cousin the day before, and now that
we were cousins she wanted me to
kiss the bride.
She was very pretty and I needed
no second invitation; But as lifted
my head after giving her a resound-
ing smack, there stood our superin-
tendent in the doorway, and I, sworn
to secrecy, could not explain.-Ex-

Venice Art Being Restored.

Now that the war Is over and Ven-
Ice has recovered from the nightmare
Of having her wealth of art destroyed
by shell fire, or, worse still, looted by
soldiers, one by one her treasures from
underground cellars or distant CALLER
les are being returned to their places.
One Of her most admired possess
sions, however, Titian's Assumption
Of the Virgin" which is counted
among the seven great masterpieces
in the world, the pride Of the Venetian
Academy of Fine Arts, has been re-
turned, not to the gallery, but to it's
original home in the choir Of the
beautiful gothic Church of the Frari,
for which it was painted by Titan in
1916.
The magnificent frame Of carved
marble originally built round it now
shows off the glorious picture to ad-
vantage and the Venetians are delight
ed that it should be restored to the
position where it's donors and the
great genius who composed it intend
ed it to remain. >,*;;H: ~. ,-':'

General Woods First Battle.

When Geronimo, the last Of the
great Apache chieftains, began MUIR
dering American women and most
hideously torturing American children
in New Mexico and Arizona, Leonard
Wood, then an army surgeon, exchang-
ing his surgeons scalpel for rifle,
became one Of famous little COM
pany which chased the monster over
the sandy and burning plains Of the
Southwest and northern Mexico, and
did not desist until the enemy surren-
dered. The reports of Generals Law
ton and Miles witness to the healthy
minded zeal which Wood manifested
toward the barbarians who wreaked
their savagery on American women
and children; and the fact that Wood
received that greatest of all military
distinctions for his efficient bravery
in this campaign-the medal Of con-
gress-is testimony Of the same kind.

PURPLE DYE FROM SHELLFISH
Possibility That New Industry May Be
, Developed, Since the Supply Is
lnexhaustbIe.

: On the Pacific coast Of Costa Rica,
especially in the region about Cocos
bay, there abounds kind Of shellfish
called the "nacascol," from which a
fine purple color is obtained. So far
no way has been found for preserving
this dye, and the industry has remain
ed in the hands Of the few old people
who take the trouble to dye few
ounces Of thread every summer. The
process is very simple. On picking up
the shell from the beach or detaching
it from a bowlder, the gatherer blows
her breath into it, whereupon few
drops Of greenish liquor ooze out.
This liquor is collected in a clamshell
and after sufficient quantity has
been collected the thread is passed
through it, soon after assuming, on ex-
posture to the sunlight, a beautiful
purple color, which is absolutely fast
after it has turned purple. 1t is
thought possible that the dye turns
fast only on exposure to the air and
that the liquor could be preserved by
keeping the air from 1t. There is
little doubt that this industry Of dye
ing thread could be extended to
greater proportions if an extensive de-
mand at good prices could be found
for the dyestuff. '~'': ;ss sE|:EI T:

CITY HAS NO RU MINING WATER
vladivostok, Political Capital OF the
Far East, Lacks What Ameri-
. cans Consider Essential.

A city with some $4,000 tnhab-
itants and no running water-such Is
Vladivostok, as described by Phil Nor
ton in the columns of Travel. Nor
Is this lack of an everyday convenience
made less pressing by the fact that
vladivostok jumped from popula-
ton of about 10000 people without
adding to the number of houses. The
Manchu water vender, with his hogs
head mounted on two wheels and
drawn by sturdy, thick-coated Stbe-
rian horses, takes the place of pipes
and faucets, filling his hogshead at
shallow we'll in some private or pub
lie yard, and retailing the commodity
at the rate Of two buckets a day for
a month. for about 50 in American
money. He carries the buckets at the
end of pole over his shoulder. If one
can manage to live in reasonable COM
fort In Vladivostok, coolie boy can
be procured to bring water to ones
room, and heat it in the kitchen. Or
again, If the water vender has failed
to arrive. the cooie boy will gather
snow and melt it, and there is ones
morning bath. If one wants more gen.
erous ablution one goes to the public
baths; and if one wants a drink OF
water one thoroughly boils the mer-
chandise of the water vender before
drinking it, And this city Of the primi-
tive water supply is now the political
capital of the far east.

Trained Nurses Popular.

That trained nurses are being en-
ployed in increasing numbers shows
that employers generally are recog-
nizing their services. Previous to
1919, only 66 industrial firms employed
trained nurses. Today more than 81
industries have nursing services.
The industrial nurse has proved to be
a good investment. She is teacher
of hygiene, and health education
means prevention of accidents, which
in years gone by have cost industry
many thousands of dollars.

Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect Of
Rhenen Is its tower, which bears the
name Of Kunera, after the daughter Of
the ruler Of the Orkney isles, who &C.
gins on pilgrimage to Rome. Upon

now known to have been based on a
misleading of Latin text, the maid

when Huns killed them all except Ku-

Small Railroad Profitable.

The Grand Island railway, which
stretches from end to end Of an island
in the Athabasca river, in northern
Canada, is probably the smallest in the
world. The entire length Of the track
is a quarter Of mile, and the rolling
stock comprises two well-worn lorries.
Merchandise Is taken to the island in
boats or scows, transferred to the rail-
road, and shipped again by water at
the other end. Customers load the
cars themselves. and propel them by
hand power across the island. The
owner says his enterprise returns
thousands of dollars year, and he
claims that his is not only the small
