Old Longfellow llome
Saved by Sentiment
1 lie old Look fellow house, in HHt?.
Held. Mun?^, had a narrow escape from
destruction lately. The high school
<<>inmlh?lon endeavored lu secure poa
session of the lund on which the old
mansion stands, in which cane the
structure would have been demolished
The-rlty council refuved to adopt
lhe ?Uff??t?o??. The high avliool commission
announced, however, that If
the house had been demolished It
was prepared to salvuge the staircase
and Incorporate it Into the new echoed
building on account of the epecial
historic In tercet surrounding the stair
way.
Longfellow wrote many poruia dur
lug Ida realdeuce here aud among
them was "The Old Clock on the
Htalrs." The clock atood on the atalra
long before he occupied the house
uud when It waa owned by a relative
of his wife. Longfellow and .hie bride
spent part of their honeymoon In this
house and afterward acquired It by
purchase. Chicago Journal.
Desire to Own Land
Old at Human Race
the Instinct to acquire aud own
land Is as deep rooted iu human beings
as almost anything about them. I
History offers Innumerable texts for i
set mens on the wisdom of land ownership
uud proves the foresight of the
founders of our nation hi acquiring
great territories for unlimited expansion.
Land ownership, mistaken for national
pride, hus caused the majority
of the world's great conflicts. William
the Conqueror, In establishing the
feudal system, founded the law of
primogeniture so that great estates
might be preserved Intact, and the
holders obligated to the crown In
terms of men and money.
The effect It had was to send forth
adventurous ydUnger sons In search of
lands of their own. Even feudalism
could not successfully combat the Instinct,
to ucquire and own lund.
For That Tired Feeling
Meat seems to be almost at the
head of the list of Iron foods; oysters
re not far behind; spinuch Is as*valuable
as we have been taught to regard
lt^ other leafy vegetables, such as
cabbage, lettuce and chard, cannot
compare with spinach. Many of the
fruits and vegetables hre low In Iron,
much lower than some of us have believed.
Prunes and raisins, however,
deserve a high rank, Just as we have
supposed. Potatoes are surprisingly
good; Indeed, they are better thun
many of the other vegetables, that Is,
If they are not depleted by careless
preparation. Eggs are valuable.
Whole cereals and bread made from
the entire grain are Important sources
of iron. Dried beans are good Iron
.-'{pods. Although 'the gldsb at milk does'
not contain much Iron, If taken In
'oustomary large amounts milk be-'
comes quite lmportnnt as a source of
Iron. Cane molasses Is a much better
source of Iron than sugar.?The
Delineator.
Unshqved Sa:nts
English nrtlsip In stained glass have
been perturbed by the complaint of
the chancellor of the diocese of Ches
ter that ecclesiastical windows do
the saints sparse Justice In presenting
these holy men wearing beards. Artists
in stained glass retort that they
aspire to present their subjects with
as much accuracy as possible, and
that history shows most of the sulnts
wore beards, especially as they labored
In countries where .conditions
rendered shaving difficult and unusual.
Thus, despite protests of the offended
chancellor, stained gl/iss windows
in churches will In future, as In the
past, present views of saints "bearded
like the pard."
Ravages of Epidemics
"Four and five centuries ago, the
Black plague ravaged mankind with a
severity and a ferociousness unparalleled
today. During one great,epidemic
one-fourth of the world's populace
was depleted In the Bhort apace of
two years.
. LH|e a great festering, 'mlasmlc
wave, periodically the foul tentacles
of plague have swept over the world.
Centuries ago'It was leprosy, then
syphilis, then the Bubonic or Black
plague, then smallpox and later the
great respiratory plagues of Influenza,
pneumonia and sometimes Infantile
paralysis. _

'Nobody, of course. Is expected to
believe h fish story," said Knute Kimson,
Alexandrine avenue angler, "but
here's one I offer for what It Is worth.
By the light of a lantern, a friend
and I were fishing for bullheads In
Sears I.ake. near Milford, the other
night. The light will attract them
within a foot or two of the surface.
Well my friend saw one nosing
around my halt. But the bullhead
seemed reluctant to bite. So my
friend leaned over the side of the
boat; and before that fish could flip
a flu. he grubbed him round the
stomach with one hand und my line
with the other. Then he pushed my
book rjght Into the bullhead's mouth.
I felt him gulp and gave the customary
yank. That bullhead was the
biggest I vp landed in three years."?

Bird Reserve Abandoned
Abandonment of a native bird r^
serve In the state of Arkansas was
authorized In an executive order Issued
on the recommendation of the
secretary of agriculture and the secretary
of the interior.
The reserve comprises 14 acres located
In Mississippi county. When
originally established In 1013, the area
was a resort and breeding ground for '
native birds. Since then, owing to
drainage operations In this section of
Arkansas, the tract has bs^bme dry

With the disappearance of the water
the native birds departed and the
reserve lost Its value for the purpose
for which It was created. The land
Included In the area will be .returned
as a part of the public domain of the
