Down in Knoxville, Tenn., lives Miss Isabel Million, who has created a new and distinct art. To be brief, she has developed dried apple sculpture with remarkable results. For years Miss Million has been in- terested in the various types of moun- taineers who come down to her fa- ther’s store to trade. Having artistic ability, she tried a good many times to, model their quaint and weather- bedten faces by the conventional meth- ods of sculpture, but the results did not satisfy her. One evening, while cutting apples to dry them for the fu- ture, she picked up a plece of par- tially dried apple and noted its strik- ing resemblance to the wrinkled face of the usual elderly mountaineers, whom she was endeavoring to por- tray. ‘Taking up a sharp knife, she did a little cutting so as to fashion the wrinkled apple into a human face. The outcome was most successful; she saw. possibilities in this newly discovered art; and she set to work experiment- ing in dried apple sculpture. Little by little she became quite expert in making dolls whose ineads are simply dried apples, cleverly cut before they are: dried, Miss Million has found a satisfac- tory preservative with which she var- nishes the dried apple heads when they have reached the desired state of dry- ness, The costumes and accessories are carefully copied from life; in- deed, Miss Million alweys has some particular person in: mind when she evolves a little doll with a dried ap- ple face.—Scleatific American. HOME OF FAMOUS ORATORS Eminent Men Who Have Occupied the Pulpit of “Spurg s Taber- nacle,” London, England. Commenting on Dr. A. C, Dixon's resignation of the pastorate of the Metropolitan tabernacle, London, which will probably be known to the end of time as “Spurgeon’s tabernacle,” a writer in the London Christian World refers to some of the eminent men who have occupied that pulpit in the past— Benjamin Keach, John Gill, John Rip- pon, and others—and gives the follow- ing interesting incident: “Coming to more recent days, it is just thirty years ago since a trustee of the tabernacle spoke to Spurgeon about an American preacher named Dixon, who had spoken at the world’s Sunday-scheol convention. Spurgeon at once invited him to, speak at the tabernacle. It is interesting to recall the fact that they might easily have been associated long before. Dr. Dixon’s father, who sus- tained a pastorate of nearly 60 years in a church in a wood, in front of which he is buried, thought Spurgeen was the greatest preacher since Paul. He longed for his son to have a course of study at Spurgeon’s college. Young Dixon sent in his application. Spur- geon’s reply was: “My dear sir, you can find institutions in your own coun- try better adapted to your case, Please accept this as final.” Of course, it was in that way that the great preacher tested the persistence of his candidates, A. C. Dixon took him at his word, and never applied again. He was, however, destined to more than fulfill his fa- ther’s desires, and following men like Spurgeon, and A. G. Brown, he has thoroughly maintained the tabernacie’s great traditions” — ee Oe ee Free entertainment for all the veterans Big Home Coming Celebration | Moscow « Juiy 3, 4and5 in uniform SALVATION ARMY LASSES WILL SERVE DOUGHNUTS AND COFFEE TEN ROUND BOUT SAILOR LAWSON VS.

The production of tungsten ores in the United States in 1918, according,to preliminary statistics collected by Frank L. Hess of the geological sur- vey, wags equivalent to 5,065 net tons of concentrates, carrying 60 per cent tungsten ‘trioxide, of which 5,015 tons, valued at $5,156,500, were marketed or consumed by the producers, and ,50 tons were reported as left on hand at the mines December 31. The output was less than that of the two previous years—1916, with 5,923 tons, valued at $12,075,400, and 1917, with 6,144 tons, valyed at\$6,783,400. The production in 1917 was the largest made by any country, although it was much smaller than the combined output of the Brit- ish empire. - Find Shells in English Gardens. Talking of raids, the task of the sub- urban gardener is likely to. provide a Uttle supplementary excitement during the next few seasons. While digging in his garden the other day a resi- dent of Manor Park unearthed a load- ed shell. During 1917 and the first few months of last year an enormous quantity of ammunition was fired by the barrage guns in the London dis- trict. An uncertain proportion of this consisted of “duds,” which, when they diq no material damage, were buried a few feet in the earth, It is a crop which will need careful harvesting.— Lotidon Chronicle, Animals Are Tourists, As a refuge from inclement weather California has long been the winter pleyground for thousands, but It Is only. recently that cattle and sheep have joined the tourist ranks, accord- ing to Popular Mechanics magazine. Naturally this winter resorting of com- mon range stock is not specially altru- istic, but is inspired by good business motives. California pastures afford more economical winter feed, and the stieep go through the lambing season with far less loss. With all the de vices of tents and lambing wagons bad, weather often takes half the in- crease in lambs. So change of climate is really an economica! measure, with the recent prices for early lambs, Guardian of the Light. Miss Winifred Holt is well named “the angel of the blind.” She is head of the Lighthouse, a home for the blind im New York city, where those who cannot see are taught useful work. Several years ago she went to France to work for the benefit of the men blinded {n the war. She established the Phare, French for “lighthouse,” similar to the New York home in pur- pose, and has taught over three hun- dred men to support themselves with- out sight. For some time she worked in the first trenches on the Somme. Microbes in Our Clothes. Apropos of the liability of demob- {lizedsoldters to contract colds as soon as they get into “civies” a cor- respondent suggests that probably the civilian clothes are the cause, wheth- er they be warmer than the uniforms or not. Sir Ernest Shackleton had something to say about this matter on his return from the antarctic. Not- withstanding the intensely low temper- atures and almost incessant blizzards experienced, colds were quite unknown until a bale of clothing brought from England was opened. The next day there was an epidemic of colds in the party, and Sir Ernest’s explanation was that the trouble was caused by microbes that had been hibernating, as & were, im the closely packed clothing. a eee CONNECTS FRANCE AND SPAIN Tunnel Recently Completed Does Away With Necessity of Crossing Pym + @nees Mountain Peaks, Ly, Ue “There are n0 more Pyrenees” was once an expression of high political significance in France. It is now a reality, because while all Europe was involved in the struggle to crush mil- itarism, the engineers kept blasting away at the heart of the mountains dividing France and Spain and have constructed a tunnel that obviates the necessity of climbing 9,500 feet of mountain peaks before crossing the boundary. A railway has been instail- ed in this tunnel which connects Puig- cerda, Spain, with Ax, France. These two towns are 20 miles apart, but the railway is not that long. By not impossible grades, It leads from the lower levels of the pass from Prades, France, to the upper valley of the Ariege, near where Puigcerda , is situated. “ It aldo goes down to the valley of the great: River Ebro, along which runs a system of railways and canals, making excellent connections with Saragossa and many smaller Places in the heart of Spain, and with the Mediterranean port of Barcelona, Spain. . Heretofore tourists from the Medi- terranean region of France have had to use a carriageway through the pass from Prades, where the railway from Perpignan ends,.to Puigcerda, but the Journey from the-valley of the Ariege river was not 80 easy. LITTLE LESSON FOR AGENT Speaking of Etiquette Reminded Serv- ant Girl of a Few Ideas She Had In Mind. “Madam,” she began, as the door opened, “I am selling a new book on ‘Etiquette and Deportment.’” “Oh, you are?” she responded. “Go down there and clean the mud from your feet.” “Yes’m, As I was saying, madam, IT am sell—” “Take off your hat! Never address a strange lady at her door without re- moving your hat.” “Yes’m. Now, then, as I was say- ing—" i “Take yOur hand out of your pock- et. No gentleman ever carries his hand there.” “Yes’m. Now, madam, this work on ‘Et—” “Throw away your pipe. If a gen- tleman uses tobacco he is careful not to disgust others by the habit. “Wait. Put that dirty handkerchief out of sight and use less grease on your hair in the future. Now you look a bit decent. You have a book on ‘Etiquette and Deportment.’ Very well, I don’t want it. I am only the servant girl. Go up the steps to the front door and talk with the lady of the houge:' She called me a down- right, n jubt-about-it idiot this morn- ing, and I think the book you're sell- ing is just what she requires.” Longest British Strike. The longest strike which Britain has experienced was that which broke out at Lord Penrhyn’s slate quarries at Bethesda in October, 1900, and lasted until November, 1903. During these three years more than one and one-half million dollars was lost in wages alone; and whereas at the beginning Britain imported no slate, at the end ships were taking more than 1,200 tons of foreiga slate 2 week to British markets. 22 TS
