Persian Bread Has Many Uses.

At Kasvin, Persia, a British patrol
base, we were lodged in empty wards
of the military hospital, writes Mary
E. GriscOm in Asia Magazine. Our
provisions had almost given out by
this time, and we were reduced to
Persian stone bread. So far as
know, only the cOcOnut and the bam-
boo serve more purposes than the
flaps of Persian bread, which are
about two feet long. one foot wide
and a quarter of an inch thick. If 1t
is raining, the Persians use them on
their heads as umbrellas; and If it is
sunny, as parasols; in winter, they
wrap the flaps around their shoulders.
If they do not. need them for prOtec-
ton they roll them up and carry
them under their arms. In the hos
pitfalls they spread them out on empty
beds 20 dry.

TAUGHT LESSON BY HUNGER
Good Story Of How Franklin Was
Converted to the Idea Of Fish
as Human Food.

One day Benjamin Franklin-James
Parten tells us In his Life Of Ben
jamin Franklin"-was on slOOp
which was becalmed on certain
island. The sailors, as is still the Gus
tom when a ship is becalmed, amused
themselves by fishing. Franklin wit
messed the catching Of the fish with
regret. But soon there came to tanta-
lize his nostrils a most alluring odOr
from the frying pan. So, as Franklin
used to tell the story, he went over
his reasoning again to see if there was
not flaw in it.
1t occurred to him that when the
fish were opened he had seen smaller
fish in their stOmachs.
"Ah." said Franklin. "If you eat
one another l don't see why we may
not eat you"
SO Franklin dined upon the fish
very heartily, and thereafter ate what
others ate. When telling this story
Franklin ended with an observation
which is often attributed to Talley-
rand, but which we are assured was a
familiar joke with Franklin. This
was:
$50 convenient a thing ii is TO be
a reasonable creature. since 1t en-
ables one to find or make reason

In Britain there is nv testimony
to the effect that that assumption is

Unless they spend additional years

marks at the top of the list get the

Up the Flowery Mountain.

Every year thousands Of Chinese
pilgrims risk their lives in climbing
up the side Of Hwa-Shan, the Flow
cry mountain, which is sacred to the
Taoist religion. Any one reaching the
temple far above is supposed to have
any request granted as reward for
valor and endurance. The Hwa-Shan
mountain is over 5000 feet high, and
the ascent in many places must be
made along a narrow ledge Of branches
laid on posts driven horizontally into
the face Of the precipice. There are
no handrails. but a chain held on a
rock face offers some security to the
ascending or descending pilgrim.

the battle of North Point and the re.
tirement Of the British TO their ships.
1t was this matchless defense that
saved the nation and checked the pro-
posed attack upon Philadelphia and
New York.
Then took place the attack upon the
historical Fort McHenry; 16 bomb
and-rocket vessels bOmbarded the fort,
throwing constant shower of rock
cts and bombs, the later weighing 22O
pounds. Colonel Armisted, in command
of the fort, was unable TO reach them
except on one or two occasions when
they came nearer. AS the army was
rptreating, more severe lombard
ment than before was executed. I'm
der the cover of darkness, as a last
resort. several rocket vessels and
barges. with 1850 picked men, passed
south of Fort McHenry> and attempted
To land. After passing the fort, they
threw up rockets of rejoicing and to
light a landing place. This. however,
was their undoing, and caused Com
modOre Rogers ''invincible crew" at
Fort COvington, under Lieutenant New
connie and Barney's flOtilla men, I'M
der Lieut.. John Webster, at Fort Bah
cock, to pour into them pitiless fire,
sinking one barge with all on board
and compelling the rest to retire. The
enemy retired badly damaged under
the fire from Fort McHenry and the
LoZaretto. At safe distance they
continued to lombard Fort McHenry
until morning. The bombardment
lasted for % hours, and they are said
to have thrown 1.500 to 1880 great
bombs. 400 of which landed in Fort
McHenry.
Dr. William BeaneS, Who had eli
cOuntered the displeasure of the Brit
ish at Upper Marlboro, In their march
upon Washington, had been carried off
in their feet. He was a particularly
close friend of Francis Scott Key, who
visited the fleet at Baltimore to seek
the release of his friend. Having
boarded the Minden, one of the ships
of the fleet, the British compelled him
to remain until after the bombardment.
There he was during that memorable
night when Fort McHenry was being
SO terribly assaulted. We can well
imagine his anxiety as to the fate of
the fort and the attack to be made
upon the city wherein resided his fam
lily and loved ones. He and his friend
paced the deck during that night of
September 13. The bombardment
ceased just before day. So long as
the bombardment continued they knew
the fort had not surrendered, but when
1t ceased before daylight it left them
In great suspense as to the result. We
may well imagine how earnestly they
looked forward to dawn and sufficient
light to relieve their anxiety. How
happy they must have been when they
saw that "the flag was still there"
Key was stirred to the depths by pa
triotic fervor and devotion, and there
wrote his song of rejoicing, "The Star.
Spangled Banner"
The memory of the old flag which
saluted Key on that morning of Sep
TENDER IA, 1914. still lives in the
hearts Of the people. and the flag is
stored in the archives Of the govern
ment.
