FORTUNE TELLING

When on the grain was summers
gold.
And blue was summers sky,
We went to have our fortunes told,
A witching maid and |.
The gypsy sibyl seemed uncouth
And weird to look upon,
And yet for each Of us, in sooth,
A merry tale she spun.
Mine was a kindly horoscope;
| heard my birth above
Had hung the happy star of Hope.
The lambent star of Love.
The star of Love that bringeth bliss,
| learned, still shed it's glow.
Much more the sibyl said, but this
Was all | cared to know.
Then into SyIvia's slender hand
I saw the gypsy peer,
And words ! longed to understand
Were whispered in her ear;
While on her cheek a blush had birtl
That spread in rosy fire,
AS when the winter-wakened earth
Feels Springs divine desire.
We left behind the gypsy old,
And meath a dusky pine
Again was that fair story told
That ended, Sweet, be mine!"
Then Sylvia the roguish-eyed
Laughed in her winning way:
"That's WHAT triumphantly she crieC

DIsCARDS EMPER0R'S STAMPS
German Government to Call In All
Of Germania Type on
October 81.

Berlln.-One of the last remaining
symbols of the old regime in Germany
will pass away with the withdrawal
of all postage stamps of the familiar
"Germania" type OF October 81 next.
This striking design, first adopted
in 1900, played q measurable part In
fostering the militarist movement that
brought disaster upon the fatherland.
The original of the mail-clad figure
of Germania was Fraulein Anna Fuhr-
ing of the imperial opera, whose por-
trayal of the role so impressed the
former kaiser that he ordered her
likeness to be placed upon the new
postage stamps of the empire.
Since the establishment of the re-
public numerous protests have been
lodged against the continuance of this
design and now that the new ndus-
trial series Of stamps has been COM
pleted, Instructions for its suppression
have been issued.

Became One of the Stones.

The mountain now disappearing has
an interesting history, we are told.
The writer says of it:
"In the year 1855 a Frenchman ar
rived with a band of Huguenots in
the Bay of Rio de Janeiro, and here
in this landlocked bay the first Prot.
estant service in the Americas was
said to have been held by these
wandering sailors. To expel these
Frenchmen, the Portuguese governor
at Bahia sent his nephew, Estacio de
Sa, to found a settlement on Guiana
FORA bay. In 1867 Sa was killed by the
French. The little village he founded
was then moved to the top of the hill
where the Church Sac Sebastiao was
begun in the year of Estacio de Sa's
death. Here it has stood all through
the years, and here has rested the
remains of Estacio.
Now the old church must come
down to make room for the growing
city. The district around it has de-
generated until Moro de Castillo Is
said to be inhabited by the poor, the
shiftless and the vicious. The slums
OF Rio de Janeiro are usually on the
hills, for the rich do not like to walk
in fact, will not walk in the heat
and the sun--and therefore choose
a home nearer the sea. So the hill
tops, with their unsurpassed view of
the harbor, are left to the poor.
''In 1889, after the fall of the mon
archy, removal of the capital was con-
sidered to some other location on ac-
count of yellow fever. This disease
has been cleared out of the country,
and a satisfactory system of santa
ton installed. That certain portions
of the hill slums would not submit to
the usual health regulations has been
a sore point. Sojourners on MORO de
CASTILLO have been a law unto them
selves in Il measure, and ii is only
when modern science is taking their
hill from them that these ferdal
dwellers are at last being forced t.
pitch their tents where they will not
be q meeace to the city's health"

$4,000 Tube of Radium
Found in Woman'S Body

Chicago.-A tube of radium
valued at $4,000 is back in
the hands of the surgeon who
owns it, and Mrs. Martha Spohn,
a patient in whose body the
radium was "1ost" was reported
recovering, following an opera
ton to recover the missing
metal.
In the previous operations the
tube of radium was inserted In
the incision. When Mrs. Spohn
was placed on the operating
table for removal of the tube,
it had disappeared. Another In
cision revealed that the radlum
had burned through tissues to
another part Of her body.

built to keep this most recent sub
urb from slipping Into the ocean.
Says the New York Times in an
article on the subject:
although this addition to Rio de
Janeiro is often called a suburb, II
should be designated an an.
mex, for it lies not far from the cen
ter of the city and close to Vermelha
beach, where the exposition is being
held. To continue the work on the
new film, begun in the early part OF
this year, big pumps which carry of
the dirt will have to operate over the
tops of some of the exposition build
ings.
Work of Eight Years to Take Two.
"For protection against fire it has
been proposed to make connections
with the discharge lines a. convenient
points. According to engineers any
building could be flooded in ten min
utes. In this way the machinery which
is throwing sea water against the dirt
and rock on the hilltop, washing 1t
down through fumes to the sea, will
serve a double purpose.
"Years ago the work Of removing
this hill was started by native con
tractors who used mule-drawn carts to
carry the dirt and stone to the sea
wall. In estimating the cost of this
work it was found that it would be
something like rs cents a cubic yard
and would taken eight years. With
the high-powered pumps now installed
1t will not cost more than % cents a
cubic yard and will take less than
two years.
1.-THE material to be moved Is 10 per
cent rock and So per cent dirt. The
rock will be removed by steam shovels
and the dirt by three pumps. One of
these pumps will take care of four
hydraulic giants, each with a 3h-inct
stream at the nozzle. Twelve of these
giants will shoot the earth from the
top Of the fill to the film. A sea wall
three miles long and about half a mile
wide has been constructed to receive
the debris.
"Close to the new land being made
along the water front will stand the
permanent United States embassy
building now under construction by a
New York firm"

GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN HERO
Memory of Simon Bolivar Worthily HonOTed by the Nations He
 Served So We'll.

simon Bolivar lived during that period in the history of mankind when political revolution was the order of the day. He was born in Caracas, Venezuela, July "A, l7S3. The Ameri- can War of Independence had just ing Paris Bolivar had an opportunity to witness the closing scenes of the French Revolution. By this time the Spanish colonies in South America were beginning to make their various struggles for political independence, and when Bolivar returned to his na- tive land he soon found himself allied with the agitatOrS who were Strug gling to free their country from the domination of Spain. He rapidly rose to d position of great prominence, both as d statesman and soldier, and he was again and again appointed as die tatOr until such time as political fnde- pendence would be assured. He achieved the political independence of three states: Colombia Gin 1819O. composed of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador (frOm which the last two withdrew in 183O); Peru 1824) and Bolivia, named after Bolivar (1825). When he died, December 17, 1880, he did not have any public money in his possession although he had had com plete control of the treasuries of these republics.

MonooIian Youths at Home in the Saddle at an AstenishingIy
 Tender Age.

If daring traveller braves the dan gers of d trip into Mongolia he is fas- cinated by the natives at the time of their summer festivals.

 Instead of sitting In a grand stand and~watching the entire race, as you do here, you see only the start or fin ish. For the races In Mongolia are 30 miles long.
 The MongOlians are great hOrsemen and learn to ride at a very early age. Their lives are spent with and on horses. The women ride as well as the men, and by the time a boy has reached the age of ten he Is an expert hOrseman. In fact. the jockeys are ten-year-Old boys.
 These little fellows are mounted on the very fast MOngOlian ponies, without saddles. Their only trappings are a bridle, a whip and a handker- chief.
 They start on their wild ride over the steppes with the courage and spirit of men, whipping their horses fiercely, but often reaching over kindly to wipe the dust from the eyes and nOstrils of their ponies.

Despite its Latin appearance. the word "caucus'' never saw Rome in the person of a Latin ancestor. The term is memorial of the RevOlu- tiOnary war; and first saw the light in Boston. In dispute with some British soldiers, the rOpemakers and calkers hOtly denounced the Brit ish government at public meeting. Such meetings of protest, expressing open dislOyalty to the Crown, came to be humOrOusly characterized by the Tories as "calkers' meetings" :" From that term of contempt the transit tiOn of the word to Its use in its present form as part of our basic electoral machinery was short
