Consul Homer NJ. By:ngton of Ma
pies writes that the production of
figs for local consumption and for eX-
portation is an important industry in
southern Italy. Fresh figs are staple
article of food, especially for the
poorer classes. during the season, and
when dried in the sun may be kept
for considerable periods of time. OF
peculiar economic value is the fact
that they may be grown in soil too
poor for other crops. The trees are
planted irregularly and frequently on
steep hillsides along small terraces.
In certain provinces 1t is the custom
for landowners to enter into an agree
ment With the farmer whereby the
latter plants fig trees in the inferior
or waste portion of land, taking the
entire crop Of stated number Of years
and at the end of the contract return
ing the land in producing condition.

EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY
Girl at First Thought Pickpocket Was
Busy, but 1t Turned Out Just
the Other Way

The business girl, straphanging in
the subway at the rush hour felt
gentle tug on the pocket Of her rain
coat. Far from being disturbed, she
grinned sardonically, knowing that
just exactly one dime rested in the
shabby little purse resting in that par
ticular pocket. She was so hemmed
in by fellow travellers that it was
difficult to discover If her suspicious
were facts until she emerged with the
struggling mass at her station. Then
she dipped her hand lightly into the
pocket only to find the ancient purse
intact and in its accustomed spot
But that wasn't the only thing in
the pocket. Extracting n hard sub
stance gingerIy. she stared in daze
at roll Of bills protected by an elias
tic band. Eyhilarated and excited
over this reverse state of affairs she
counted her ill-gotten gains and be-
hold she was the richer by 80 per-
fectly good dollars. Whether fellow
passenger had dropped them by mis-
take into her pocket instead of his
own or a thief placed them there for
fear of detection affords wide field
of speculation. Anyhow the business
girl has turned the money into her
college campaign fund and hopes it
will not he refused as tainted money.

Woman Bird Surgeon.

The only woman bird surgeon in the
world is Miss Virginia Pope of New
York Miss Pope treats everything
from bird Group to birds broken leg.
and she goes out at any time of night
to attend her patients just as any
other physician does. She is also a
bird boarding house keeper, taking
care of canaries and other pets whose
families are out of town or need a
rest from song. Just now there are
700 birds in her care. and her life is
merry one in consequence. A good
many of the 700 she expects to have
with her the rest of their lives. PeO-
pie get tired of them and bring them
to Miss Pope and then forget TO call
for them. or course that isn't what
might he called profitable for the bird
surgeon, but she takes just as good
care of them us she does for her pay
ing guests Her fondest hope is to
have large bird hospital with plenty
of room and equipment. Three floors
and basement get crowded some
times now.

NEW VERSION OF "OLD GLORY"
EngIishman Offers Opinion That Stars
and Stripes Are Copy Of East
India Company's Flag.

A new theory about the origin OF
the American flag is told by the
writer of the BY the Way column
in the London Daily Express. 1t is
sent by correspondent evidently
versed in such matters, who expresses
the opinion that the attribution of
"Old Glory" to the arms of the Wash
ington family is exploded.
ut is much more probable" he
writes, "that the flag Of the old East
India company formed the pattern.
This flag seems to have been used as
the official flag Of the 10 original
states from January, 1776, to June,
Is stars was substituted for the can
ton bearing the English Union The
flag then became, in substance, that
of today, though stars have been add
ed as other states adhered to the fed
Grafton" The correspondent quotes
authorities.
Truth must prevail, whatever 1t Is,
but" says the coumnist, Il like the
story told by Newman in his address
es to the Brothers Of OratOry. There
was once an old priest. he tells us,
who for years began certain part of
the service with the words: 'Quod
ore mumpsimus.' One day more
learned person heard him and after
ward told him that the third word
should be 'sumpsimus.' The old priest
admitted that it might be so, but he
added. will not change my old
mumpsimus for your new sumpsimus.'
I like the old mumpsimus story asso-
ciating old Glory with Sulgrave
manor"

san M. Hooper's on the evening of
October 26, to celebrate her eighty
first birthday. All joined in sing
ing some of her favorite hymns, and
an interesting article of her selec-
ton was read by Mrs. Nellie Sar-
gent, in pleasing manner. The
evening was made complete by sew
eral selections played from memory
by the hostess on her old-fashioned
accordion. Mrs. Hooper received
many birthday gifts, including a

Octogenarian Pedestrian.

ViScount Bryce, at eighty-twO. Is CIV
ing Americans in the Berkshire hills
an object lesson in pedestrianism which
our autO-bound and front-porch-loving
race would do we'll to heed, a writer
stated recently in the Cincinnati
Times-Star. The distinguished visitor
seldom uses a motor car unless the
distance to be covered Is too far to
negotiate on foot or unless speed Is
a necessity. Niscount Bryce prefers
to hoof it. He is covering the hills
and daes of the Berkshires with a
stride so robust as to out distance
most of his companions. His health
is excellent and his appetite perfect.
For these blessings Lord Bryce gives
walking, constant, daily walking, the
credit. He is living example of the
virtues of using ones legs for the
purpose which nature intended.
The English are great pedestrians.
Even in the larger cities, where trans
portation is frequent and comfortable,
they flock along the pavements from
the sheer delight they find in using
natures first means of locomotion. In
America we go in a great deal for
sports. and find much pleasure and
health in these diversions. But we
are not a walking race. We are pass
ing up one of the simplest. easiest and
cheapest forms of exercise known, and
our digestions and tempers are paying
the price Of our pedal lazness.

HARD TO EXPLAIN
Happenings in Life Stranger
Than Fiction.
Odd Condolences of Wrecks, and In
the Careers Of the Ex-kaiser and
Emperor Napoleon.

Condolences in life are stranger
than anything in fiction.
There used to be two steamers
called the Romulus and the Remus. A
few years back the former was lost
In the English channel. Within three
thousand miles away from the scene
of her sister ships disaster
Many reliable authorities regard the
following as the most amazing coincl-
dence on record, says London Answers.
More than 200 years ago, Dec. 5; 1864,
boat crossing the Menai straits with
eighty-one passengers encountered
terrific gale and foundered The only
man to escape death was Hugh Will
liams.
More than 100 years later, Dec. 8,
1850, another vessel, with large num-
Der of passengers. sank in the same
circumstances, and in the same spot.
All the passengers We're drowned ex-
cept one. His name was Hugh VIII
liams.
Again, Dec. 5, 1920, a boat carrying
thirty people, sank in the same spot.
The sole survivor was Hugh Williams
The figure 8 has peculiar con-
nection with the career of the ex-
kaiser. He was born in the fifty-ninth
year of the century, entered the army
in 1869, and completed his university
career in 1879 The dates of his birth
and marriage-Jan. q and Feb. 81
both make nine, if two and seven are
added together And the same number
figures in his defeat and exile. That
occurred In 1918, which contains one
figure 40" and two figures that added
together make 80" Also, he was SO
years old when his career as ruler
ended.
1t has often been pointed out that
the letter NJ, for better or worse,
logged the footsteps both of Napoleon
the Great and Napoleon the Little. In
the case of Napoleon l., it was Mar
boeuf who first recognized his genius
at the military college, Marengo was
his first great victory, Morlier was
his best general, Moreau betrayed him.
Marat died for him, Marie Louise
shared his fortunes. Moscow marked
the turn in those fortunes, Metternich
beat him in diplomacy.
His first battle was Montenotte, his
last Mont st. Jean. He stormed Mont
martre, took Milan; Marmont deserted
him. His right-hand man was Mont
esQueu, his last resting place in
France, Malmaison. He surrendered
to Captain Maitland, and his compan-
ions at St Helena were MonthOlon and
Marchand. His marshals We're Mas,
sena, Mortier, Marmont, Macdonald,
Murat and Moucey, and no fewer than
twenty-six of his generals had names
beginning with M.
Napoleon III. married the countess
Of Montijo, and his most intimate
friend was Morny, and his tutor
MOreithe of Montelimar. His greatest
military successes We're the capture of
the Malakoff and the Mauselon tower
His biggest battle was Monticello, and
MacMahon won Magenta for him.
He drove the Austrans cut Of Mari
guano, and made his triumphal entry
into Milan. He was repulsed before
Mantua, in his last war driven back
to the Moselle and his fate settled by
Moltke at Metz.
