Alaska Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philippines their history severally the customs and languages of their people and the sources of their wealth Many men know these things now and love their country and are serv iceable to their fellow citizens in pro portion to their knowledge It costs labor and tlft sacrifice of so called pleasure to acquire this knowledge but to the genuinely manly man whose lifes purpose is to make the utmost of his abilities and opportunities and who in one way and another is developing his countrys hidden treasures and im parting his practical enthusiasm to other lives there are a relish and a delight in the search for knowledge that compensate a thousandfold The Woman In BaslncftH A New York real estate agent has been telling of some of business with women Mrs A he says

before I plunging into a cold bath But there a cold bath daily and who after taking one are apt to be cold and shivering all the day through For these the best 1 is after a warm bath to sponge the

bor with an American flag hoisted at the mainmast head in its reverse posi tion To the interested spectators that dag always brings a pang of distress for it means that one or more of the crew through some of the sea But to the members of the craft itself the signal is not always on emblem of woe The flag is hoisted from their viewpoint to notify those for a long time before they that the men who have disappear ed are really lost A stranger to seafaring ways asked the skipper of one of these fishing schooners the other day what the signal meant and he was set right by the captain who remarked in the most cheerful way in the world Theyre missing out of th crew of course but we havent given them up by a long sight Ye see they may have been picked up by some other boat an carried off to th

pounds pull ed 8750 pounds or 3250 pounds less than Fifty men aggregat about 7500 pounds in weight pull pounds as much as the single elephant But like the horses they pulled more than their own

want of a better name is called the tomb spider The entomologists know nothing of this queer beast and that it only exists in the fancy persons and those whose curiosity or business makes it necessary for them to explore old ru ins tombs catacombs etc According to the popular account the tomb spi der is of apure white color has wings like those of a bat a dozen horrid crooked legs and a body three times the size of that of the largest tropical American tarantula The ac counts of this queer insect and his out of the way places of abode are by no means common and on that account the information concerning him which we will ba able to give is very meager Any Italian will tell you that such a creature exists however and that he is occasionally met with in old mines and caverns as well as in tombs and sub terranean ruins Goldsmiths Showy Clothes Goldsmith was ludicrously fond of showy clothes When he sought to take orders in Ireland he tried to daz zle his bishop by a pair of scarlet breeches While studying medicine Edinburgh he wore rich sky blue satin fine sky blue shalloon and silver hat lace Before Johnson Rey nolds and Garrick he strutted about bragging of his bloom colored coat and when hig reputation had been made by his two principal poems he blazed forth in purple silk small a scarlet greatcoat and a physicians wig lIe carried a headed cane and a sword hung side a

A Woman In Morocco All the life of a woman in Morocco is really passed behind the walls of its prisonlike houses She sees nothing knows nothing is wholly sunk In igno rance She has no social life no at home A writer says Most of the ladies calls are roof to roof vis itations and very nimble they are at getting over the low partition walls even dragging a ladder up and down with them if there are

Fishermans Emblem That TellsDistress and Hope

One of the frequent sights in theports along the eastern coast is that ofa fishing schooner coming into the harbor with an American flag hoisted atthe mainmast head in its reverse position To the interested spectators thatdag always brings a pang of distressfor it means that one or more of thecrew through some

of the sea But to the members ofthe craft itself the signal is not alwayson emblem of woe The flag is hoistedfrom their viewpoint to notify those

for a long time before theythat the men who have disappear

ed are really lostA stranger to seafaring ways asked

the skipper of one of these fishingschooners the other day what the

signal meant and he was setright by the captain who remarked inthe most cheerful way in the world

Theyre missing out of th crew ofcourse but we havent given them upby a long sight Ye see they mayhave been picked up by some otherboat an carried off to th other sideOh no we dont give them up just because weve missed them Its morethan likely theyll turn up yet XewYork Press
