Gallant Unto Death. ‘When Sir Ralph Abercromby was mortally wounded in the battle of Aboukir, he was carried on a litter on board the Foudroyant. To ease his pain, & soldier’s blanket was placed under his head. He asked what it was, “It's only a soldier's blanket,” he was told, 5 “Whose blanket is it?” he persisted, lifting himself up. “Only one of the men's.” “I want to know the name of the man whose blanket this is,” the dying commander insisted. “It is Duncan Roy's of the Forty- second, Sir Ralph,” said his attendant at last, “Then see that Ducan Roy gets his blanket this very night,” commanded the brave man, who did not forget even in his last agonies the comfort and welfare of his men. Of such un- selfish stuff are true soldlers made.— Youth’s Companion. Attar of Roses From Bulgaria. White and red roses are grown, the former- being easier to cultivate, bul glving only about half as much oil of an inferior quality. The individual growers distil their own oil. Twelve to fifteen kilos of roses are distilled with 60 kilos of water until 12 kilos of distillate are obtained;. 8 or 10 suck lots are then united and redistilled into long necked flasks, in which the oll separates on standing. To pro duce one kilo of oil requires 3,000 kilos of roses, or 1,200,000 flowers. The roses are gathered in the early morning and distilled -the same day. The pure oil from the various dis tricts shows variations in odor and physical propertles and is therefore, skillfully blended by the distributing houses before sale. Adulteration is very largely carried on by the peas: ants, who use ginger grass ofl, palma rosa oil, geranium oil, etc. The pro duction. for 1910 was 3,148 kilos.— " Pharmaceutical Era. Perils of the Air. Miss Eleanor Sears, the beautiful and athletic young Bostonian, was vis- iting recently at a country house where a good deal of flying is done. Miss Sears, one cold and brilliant afternoon, appeared on the terrace of the mansion in a new and charm- ing aviation costume. “How do you like my new rig?” she asked, as she approached a party of young men and women who were taking tea in the open air behind a glass wind screen, One of the young men answered, with a look of admiration: “Beautiful! You are always dressed to kill. Today, though, you are dress- ed to be killed.” Takes No Vacatlon, Apropos of a gold-mounted electrical massage machine worth $40,000 that occuples the dressing room of a New York woman’s house, Miss Mary Gar- den sald, in Philadelphia: “Undoubtedly a rich woman can look younger than she really is. What with Turkish and Russian baths, open. alr exercise in abundance, temperance in eating and drinking, massage and 8o forth, a woman can, to a remark- able degree, preserve her figure and her complexion.” She smiled, then added: “But the trouble with fighting time ta that time works 24 hours a dav.” ARE NOT SLAVES OF FASHION Pleases Without Attracting Attenticn. The fashions in Suchien, Kiangsu province, have a variety of such extent that every man can dress according to his individual choice and still be in correct taste and without attracting special attention from anybody else. In other words, the styles this year are of personal ideals, according to a | correspondent of the. British China Daily Herald. 3 He says that every man wears what is right in his own eyes, and there are few If any, to ridicule. A panama hat goes jauntily down the street, closely followed by a fur-covered brim hat; felt hats of scarlet and verdigris green come along’ with grays and browns that do the hatter credit for unique in- vention. These, with the Eskimo top capes, a few derby hats and the smart military uniforms, give the streets a piquancy which was unknown in the monotonous china blue of former years. Among the mnotices posted on the city gate is a fashion plate that has been exhibited for weeks. It displays two or three of the typical “western suits”—the swallow-tailed and the low- front frock for evening wear—street garb of European and American style, and many other varieties. There one also finds the plaited skirts recom- mended for the women, and close by them is the proud silk or stovepipe hat of felt, which has its special corner with other headgear. STRIKE WON IN 20 MINUTES Union Is Formed and Disbanded With- In Short Time After Cause Is Won, A story comes from Sydney of a union that was formed, strike declared and won, the union dissolved, all in- side of 20 minutes. The strike was of theater-goers in Mt. Gambier, in South Australia, and was against the management of a barn-storming troupe. The management asked two shillings for admission to the show, but the prospective audience refused to pay more than one shilling, and after a hasty consultation outside the theater formed a theater-goers’ union. Pickets were stationed and within a tew minutes 278 persons—practically all who were there—had agreed not to pay the two shillings. The manager appeared at the door- way and refused to make the required reduction. “I'll give you till I count 20,” said the president of the union, “and after that our price will be sixpence inctead of one shilling.” He counted slowly to nine, when the manager capitulated. The strike was declared at an end, the union dissolved and the strikers trooped into the hall—New York Trib- une. Sleep and Altitude, Some Swiss doctors maintain that the amount of sleep should be regu- lated by altitude. Too much sleep, they say, is as harmful as too much food or drink. In low lying districts seven hours’ slumber may be enjoyed with impunity, but up in the moun- tains five hours is ensugh. Scotland, the Land of Song and Scenery “Learn One Thing Every Day” No. 6 FINGALS CAVE Copyright, 1913, by The Asso Fingals Cave is a part of the Scot- land end of the Giants Causeway, which was supposed to have once led from Ireland to the Isle of Staffna. They say that Fin MacCoul, or Fin- gal, as he is called, built the Giants Causeway. Fingal was an Irish giant—the champion hero of all the Emerald Isle. He wanted to fight Bennandonner, another giant, so he built the great causeway from Scot- land to Ireland. ciated Newspaper School, Inc. ately for him he did not know very much about geology,”and could not prove his theories to be correct. It was also stated by another theorist that the columns of the Giants Causeway were petrified | growths of bamboo; but this idea too had only a short life. Fingals Cave was discovered in 1772 by Sir Joseph Banks, who visit- |ed Staffa on his expedition to Iceland. It is written thnt}’l‘he cave is on the southern face of Fingal won. In tradition he is the hero of both Ireland and Scotland. Fingals Cave is the most famous of the many natural caverns on the Isle of Staffa, one of the western islands of Scotland. This island is three- | the island. It is sixty-six feet high and at the entrance forty-two feet broad. It runs back into the land a distance of 227 feet, and-is only two feet wide at the end. : Seals and sea birds haunt the cave, quarters of a mile long, and about and the murmur of the sea gave it the one-third of a mile wide. No one lives there; but every weekday dur- ing the summer a steamer takes tour- ists over to see the famous cave. There are other caverns on Staffa; but Fingals Cave is the best known. Its columns are of basalt, and are six sided in shape. These columns are so regular that it seems hardly possible that the force of the waves alone could have formed them.. But that is the fact; although not many years ago some one rushed into print to say that the ancient inhabitants of Scot- land and the islands nearby had dug out all these caverns themselves. He even gave a lecture in New York City (charging a dollar a seat, the pro- ceeds to go toward building a pedes- name in Gaelic of .“The Cave of Music.” But when- the weather is stormy the cave roars in anger. This is due to the air within being com- pressed by the waves and then rush- ing out. Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer.

In China a Man Can Dress as He Copyright. 1913, by Panama-Pacific Interna T HE night panoramic view of the Exposition shown above gives but a faint idea of the magnificent picture which will be presented. The wonderful electrical illumination that is planned will make ot only the grounds and buildings of the Exposition as light as the bright California sunshine, but will include all the beauties of the bay and city. The progress of electrical lghting science makes possible a far more brilliant. night effect than has \ever been known ‘before. In fact, scientific developments in all lines will be utilized to make the Panama-Pacific Interantional Exposition fully one hundred per cent greater and grander than any other world exposition ever held. WANTS PARK SIGNS CHANGED Morris Rath, Clever Second ‘Baseman for White Sox, Thinks Could Im- " _prove 1913 Batting Average. Morris Rath, regular second base- man of the White Sox and leading fielding sacker in ‘the _American league, is ambitious to wir more glory on the baseball diamond. He wants to boost his batting average above the .300 mark. In order to achieve this distinction Rath wants the signs at Comiskey park changed. - He thinks the signboard caused him to suffer a slump in his batting last season when- ever he played at Comiskey park. ;) -Rath' is' ambitious to become ' the best all around second baseman in the American league, a distinction that has been given Eddie Collins of the Philadelphia - Athletics for several seasons. “I don’t know whether the center field signs at Comiskey park are changed, but if they will run that green streak all the way across I will get more base higs. Our left hand hitters certainly love those signs,” said Rath. S E Rath was the best flelding second | ‘wet in alcohol Smooth the - surface baseman in the American league in 1912, He had the edge on Eddie Col- lins, the leading fielding star of 1912. It was the belief of several critics that Rath - excelled Collins all the season in the fielding end of the game. Rath Rad thirty-seven more assists than the fleet little second sacker of the Ath- letics. In fielding ground balls and going back after pop flies and possi- | ble Texas leaguers Rath has no peer in the major leagues, thinks Manager Callaban. Besides being the best fielder at his position in his circuit, Rath is-one ot the best waiters at bat in the big leagues.. There is one thing in which Rath ought to show improvement in 1913, and that is in his base stealing. He has the speed to steal fifty bases a season. He pilfered only thirty sacks in 1912. It is also the ambition of Rath to win the checker championship of-the ‘White Sox. Like Christy ‘Mathewson, Rath is a good checker player. The championship will be won-in an elim- ination series.. Rath, Doc White and Frank Lange are tbe leading players on the club. Newspaper scribes will also be admitted to’the tournment. Still Willing to Be Imposed Upon. He had youth and much faith and inexperience, but his good father took him into his office to initiate him intd the mysteries of business. The second dap he was at work a man came in asking for financial a‘d, with a pathetic story about a sick wife at home and six helplesgly small children without a crust in the house. 3 The boy listened earnestly and then went into his dad’s office to intercede| || for the unfortunate man. - He told the sad story seriously. The father leaned. forward and peered into the outer office at the vagrant, “My - son, credulity is one of those good things that die young—and it 1s such impostors as that man who make it 80,” he said impatiently. “Why, when that man was here last week he had eight children, according te his story:” - “But, father, don’t you see,” replied the son tragically. “The other twe probably died of starvation.” .

The Giants’ pitching. staff will need to be in first-clags trim this season it McGraw’'s team banks on capturing another pennant, and this it assuredly does. Jeff Tesreau may be -called upon to bear the lion’s share af the burden of piloting the Giants to vic- tory. Christy Mathewson, for yeara the mainstay of the club-on the firing line, is getting along in years and will prove -an upcertain quantity at best this season. = Christy did well last year and covered himgelf with glory In' the ‘world's series, but Christy ia now a veteran in the service, scarred “by the marks of many a hard-fought diamond battle. - Rube Marquard is ‘a great pitcher, but 1s inclined to be er- ratic. Jeff Tesreau is the man Me: Graw will have to look to and if Jef fails it is likely that the Giants’ pn- nant chances will go up in smoke. The big twirler from the Ozarks was a Jeft Tesreau. star of rare brilliancy last season and of he can repeat this year the Giants believe they.will land at the top.
