Chin Vegetal.
Vegetable fibre, or chin vegetal, Is
made from leaves of a dwarf palm
(Osamaerops bumllls), which clings to
the Mil tenaciously. Its presence was
a serious obstacle to the pioneers of
Algerian colonization, and It had to be
fought foot by foot It was not then
known that the plant would become
a source of wealth to the colony and
that It would be more and more
sought as a commercial product.
Why Money Is Cheap.
"1 want you to tell me what this
paper means when It says in its mar
ket report that money is cheap," said
Mrs. McFee to her husband, who, like
all husbands. Is supposed to be en

sporting sheet. "It's simply putting In
a briefer form the statements that
money talks," he replied, "and that
talk is cheap." Judge's Library.
Reindeer Moss.
It Is stated that an Immense bed of
the best reindeer moss has been dis
covered near the mouth of the Poronal
river in Kamchatka. The bed extends
to a distance of seventy-five miles
along the coasts, has a width of over
nine miles and a depth of six feet.
This kind of moss Is used In the man

There's Music in Everything.
And sure there is music even in the
beauty iind the silent note which
Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the
sound of an instrument; for there Is
music wherever there is harmony,
order or proportion; nnd thus far we
may maintain the music of the
spheres. Sir Thomas Browne.
There Was a Reason.
"It's all very well for you to preach
economy," said his wife, "but 1 notice
whenever I cut down expenses that
you smoke better cigarH and spend
more money for your own pleasure
than at any other time." "Well, con
found It! What do you suppose I
want you to economize for, anyway?"

Carried Aloft Involuntarily, Only

New York. Miss llernetta Muller of
S'J West Sixty-seventh street, whose
Lome Is In Canton, O , has been a pu
pil of an aviation school at Mlneola,
L I., for the past week, but had only
been permitted to drive a monoplane
jn the ground. The "elevator" of the
machine had been kept tied down so
i hat no mischance might send the crafl

When Miss Muller started out the

moved.
The girl had been driving over the
lawn for several minutes when she In
advertently grasped the lever that put
the flying mechanism Into play. In
stantly the craft Btarted heavenward.
Miss Muller was frightened. She
jerked furiously at one lever after an
other, but in a twinkling the plane was
20 feet in the air.
Then the girl of twenty-two, realiz
ing that she was powerless to stop up
ward flight, decided to take chances
on coming down and shut off the mo
tor. The machine, with the motor stop
ped, dropped earthward like a Bpent
rocket. The girl made no attempt to
guide the downward plunge, but Just
when another Instiiit would have seen
her crushed amid the wreckage of the
steel car, she seemed to gather her
wits. The bystanders heard a little
cry and then the girl's body shot out
and landed a few feet from the mono
plane, Just as It crumbled Into a
twisted mass of steel. She had tried
to Jump clear of the wreckage and her
success had saved her life.

these boats, numbering more than 100,

Seaside Resorts In England English
Town Has History of 2,000
Years Ago.
London The borough of Bexhill,
England, lies In a more exposed posi
tion than most of the Sussex seaside
resorts. There are no rolling downs
to protect It aa are found at East
bourne and Brighton and the sea
breezes sweep unbroken across the
Pevensey levels.
Old Bexhill stands inland. The ma
nor of Bexelel, as it is called In Dooms- j
day, belonged in pre-conquest times to I
the South Saxon sea. Elizabeth in
1561 secured the place on the vacancy
of the bishopric and transferred it to
Thomas Sackville, Baron Buckhurst,
Knight of the Garter, a famous Sus
sex worthy. Bexhill belongs to the
present representative of the family,
Earl de la Warr.
East of Bexhill, at tbe mouth of a
very little river called Aaten, was the
old port of Bulverhythe, moat of which

plover, one cornea to the wonderful
ruin of Pevensey castle, the ground
upon which It stands having a history
extending back for close upon 2,000
years. It is pretty certain that the
walls which are of Roman construc
tion, encompass the spot where stood
th city of Anderlda, one of tbe nine
great fortresses which guarded tbe
southern shore.
Until the thirteenth century the sea
encroached so far inland that ships
rode at anchor beneath its walls. Un
der tbe shadow of the castle is the old
Mint house, under whose roof Edward
VI. has slept. About Ave miles away,
on a clear day, can be seen the mellow
brick ruins of the castle of Hurstmon
ceau, one of the finest specimens of
medieval brick ruins in England, and
dating from the reign of Henry VI.
Besides its advantageous proximity
to these historical spots Bexhill has
an extraordinary charm and individ
uality of its own, quite unlike most
south coast seaside places.
MEAT SHIFTS DOG FROM BOY
Mad Shepherd's Attack Stayed Just
Long Enough to Rescue Lad
From Possible Death.
Coatesville. Pa. The fact that he
was delivering meat for his father
saved James, twelve-year-old son of
William Snyder, from the fangs of
a mad shepherd dog which had start
ed to attack the lad.
When the dog sprang at young
Snyder the boy with quick wit seized
an order from his express wagon and
tossed it to the raving animal. This
diverted the dog's attention to the
load of meat, but Instead of eating
any he merely went Into canine
hysteria over it.
Albert Flahardy. a clerk In a Main
street store, saw the boy's plight and
with a brick struck the dog in the
head, and Charles Dunleavy, a con
tractor, ended the animal's life with
a pick. Before attaching the boy the
dog ran amuck and bit a number of
other dogs.

Missouri Stream Eating Land Away
From Summer Resort Body

St. Joseph. Mo. Lake Contrary, a
summer resort of the middle west, is
threatened with destruction by the
Missouri river. The liver has eaten
the boltonf land away within BOO feet
of the lake. In one day 300 feet of
land was taken Into the river. If the
river consumes the remainder of the
land It will drain the lake.
The federal government recently of
fered $75,000 to protect the lake If this
city would raise a like amount, but the
city failed In its attempt.

Wild Red Rice.
In Senegal red rice grows wild. Th
fields In which it growB are Inundated
regularly by the Senegal or by its af

rises the rice plant rises above the

Superstitious Italians.
Perhaps of all countries Italv Is th
most rife with superstition In all its
strange and imaginative varieties. Ital
ians believe In the "evil eye." They
have a "false spirit," which is given
to practical jokes on poor mortals, and
a darker hobgoblin, the "Fata Mor
gana," who draws youth beneath the
waves or the Straits of Messina to
drown.
A House for You.
"If you have sense, and feeling, de
termine what sort of house will be
fit for you; determine to work for it
to get it and to die In it, if the
Lord will. I mean, one that you can
entirely enjoy and manage; but which
you will not be proud of, except aa
you make it charming In Its modesty."

The last thing to recover from the

Other foods remain comparat'vely
stable in quantity for a fixed price,
but the mob diminishes the allowance
of peanuts for a nickel by half.
