Disaster Had Big Consequences.

A marine joy ride that ended in dis
aster was the subject of a painting
that changed the whole course Of art
in France, and indirectly that Of the
world. After the Napoleonic wars,
party Of colonists set out for Africa
on the ship "Medusa." The sea was
calm; the weather fair. there was
much wine and dancing board. The
captain turned over command Of the
vessel to an inexperienced civilian,
who piled her on reef. One hum
dred and fifty survivors embarked on
a small raft. Untold privation ensued.
The French artist, Gericault, painted
"The Raft Of Medusa" so realistically
that Europe was stirred. Londoners
paid more than 100000 to see his
picture. This canvas changed the
whole trend of painting. says the Men

Panama Hats.

Most of the sO-called Panama hats
are made in Ecuador The material
is called paja toquilla and comes from
a palm two or three meters high The
leaves are cut just as they are about
to unfold, the veins taken out and the
fiber remaining is dipped for a few
minutes in boiling water to which a
little lemon juice is added for bleach
ing purposes. Each leaf has approx
mately 80 strands about 55 centime-
tiers in length, although the best grade
reaches so ceutimeters. The hats can
be woven only during the part of the
day when the humidity is greatest
since the straw of the best quality is
not dampened. A man working six
hours a day completes an ordinary hat
in six or seven days, but on a very
fine one he spends month and a half;
it is the labor, therefore, which makes
the hats expensive. The most famous
are those of Monte Cristi; they sur
pass all others in fineness, lightness
and perfection.

GOT ON TRAVELLERS NERVES
Loaded Camel in Cafe More Than
Even Experienced Tourist Could
Comfortably Endure.

Your bold professional voyager
doesn't notice the Bedouin camp-not
chick, goat, lamb, ass, dog camel, brat,
woman or flea. He has seen far too
many of them. Or, if he does glimpse
the thing, it is only to remind him of
really rather curious crowd he once
ran across in the Upper Caucasus, or
perhaps it was among the Ooaa sect
Of the KiloluOii In the southern atollS
of the Paumotus-the same place, by
the by, where he happened upon the
man with the lisp and the whaleboEe
amulet-which is another story. q.
The fatal word in "travel STUFF cir
Giles IS provincial" And, dark as the
suspicion may be, it must be faced, as
well soon as later. I am provincial.
Things we don't do in New England
still strike me as strange. When / see
very holy man eating handful of
6-penny nails, my Intervals protest.
Having been brought up In a land Of
grade school physiologies and home
cooking, know that nails aren't good
for him. Or when camel
heavily laden with cactus comes lurch-
ing and bubbling between the tables
Of the cafe where / sit at peace with
the world-when mount the table to
escape-I can't help it; my provincial
pulse mounts, too.
The episode doesn't remind me Of
anything. Not anything at all In
cafe-a camel-with a load Of cactus!
At home l have known men asked to
leave for seeing just the camel alone.
. No, it is strange Wilbur

First Official Railway Mail Car.

1t was on July %, 1862, that the
frst official railway mail car trial took
place. The idea was conceived In the
mind Of William A. Davis, who was
postmaster at st. Joseph, Mo-, at the
time. This first mail car was impro-
vised out Of an ordinary baggage coach
In which were arranged the necessary
pigeOnholes and pouches. The run
was from Hannibal, Mo-, to st. Jo-
seph on the Hannibal & st. Joseph
railway. The mail car demonstrated
its utility and at once became a sue
cess and was adopted for all trunk
railroads. 1t was through the good
offices of Montgomery Blair, postmas-
ter general In President Lincoln's
cabinet, that the operation Of this rail-
way mail car was made possible.

QUEEN CHOSE PEASANT MATE
One of the Favorite Stories of the
Many Found in Folklore of
Bohemia. --s

Bohemian folklore contains many
interesting and inspiring stories,
but all of them express the national
feeling and the aspirations of a sub
ject people for independence. Now
that the World war established
CZechoslovakia as a free state, the
national consciousness has redOubled
the interest in Bohemian history and
fiction.
A favorte story is of the Princess
Libussa, youngest and wisest of Prince
Krok's three daughters. She was in
telligent, with perfect morals and ac-
tive in deeds for the welfare of her
people. Endowed as q seeress, the
people chose her to be their ruler.
Libussa in return asked the people to
choose their king. They waived this
privilege, and the queen sent them far
away to find young peasant, who
would be blowing in a field with two
oxen, whose spots the queen described.
The messengers brought back this man
and he became king.
Together Libussa and her husband
founded Prague (Praha), the queen
prophesying the city would become
world famous. The peasant king de-
fined It's limits by throwing up a fur
row with his pillow. His shoes were
worn by kings for generations as a
pledge that they would protect the
interests Of the peasants.

poe's Place In American History.

One of the sanest and most discrim-
mating critics, Hamilton Wright Ma
bic, wrote thus Of Poe: ut was for
tunate for a country that had not
only it's art, but its traditions still to
form, that while there were so many
voices to express the ethical move
ment, of the national spirit. there was
only one voice which sang only Of
beauty, and one man Of genius who
cared only for the. perfection Of his
work" And it was Logical that Poe
should have found his first real fame
in the country that cares more for
perfection of art and the full flower
of genius than for wealth or power
or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. American

Japanese Landscape GARDENING.

With the japanese landscape gar
dening holds definite place as one
of the fine arts. According to Julian
Street, writing in the Century, Japan
ese landscape gardening began 1000
years ago, when the Emperor .Shomu,
In residence at Nara, sent for a Chi
nese monk who was famed for his
artistry and ordered him to beautify
the ancient capital. This the monk
accomplished chiefly by cutting out
avenues among the lofty trees, which
to this day makes Nara not only a
place of supreme loneliness, but one
rich in the aroma Of antiquity. Thus
came the first period of landscape gar
dening in Nippon. the Temnyo neriod
