Some one starts them, other* continue them, and the rest of us accept them as gospel, and give them further currency. Englishmen are alleged to be supers shy and reserved. Our life on an laland Is said to be responsible. Rubbish! We have been, and are, the biggest travelers of all nations, observe* a writer in London Answers. If Englishmen were shy and reserved they wouldn't have been the pioneers in colonization, empire building, conquest, commerce, and the like. As a matter of fact, the average Englishman Is supersodable, and 'if any proof of that Is needed It Is to be found In the fact that this country Is, par excellence, the home of sport. Sport demands sociability. Imagine a tennis boom among "super-shy, reserved" people! Scotsmen are alleged to be mean? unco' careful wi' the bawbees. Thousands of jokes have been built upon that slander. But, as s. matter of fact, the Scot, as all who have had to do with him know, Is exiTaordlnarlly generous and kind-hearted. Ask the treasurer of any" hospital. There's* the test. The Irish are doubly slandered. They are alleged to be a gay, witty race, carefree and careless. This Is a slander. The Irish are a sad people. All their beautiful melodies are In a mlnne lrav *TH*h hnmftp" doesn't really exist The Irish are really Intensively serious. And as to being "careless," U Is a fact that they are thrifty, dean, and supennoral. The French are supposed to be lr- 4 responsible and excitable. An obvious slander, which the great war killed? or ought to have kSML Then there Is the "wily, unspeakable" Turk. For a fact he la about as simple as they make 'em! The Dutch are alleged to be "stolid." and all that the term implies. It's a slander for the Dutch are very much all there! The tale might be continued, but the result would be the same, whether dealing with the "cute" Yankee, the "emotional" Welshman, the "treacherous" Spaniard, or the "gay" Italian. Slanders all 1 * Melba Give* Way to Youth. Mme. Melba said at the close of a concert In Australia, a Melbourne dispatch reports, that she must now make room for younger singers. Melba made her debut In Melbourne (her birthplace) when she was 6 years old. Owing to her father's opposition she sang only once more In pabUc before her marriage. She was considered In those days to have greater talent as a pianist than as a singer. When she was 20 years old she went to England, where Sir Arthur Sullivan told her: In a year m put you In the 'Mikado* If your performance accords with your promise." Within short time, however, she was a brilliant success In grand opera. Her career In London began May 24, 1888, with a performance of "Lucia." Melba is reputed to be very wealthy. Her jewelry alone Is said to be worth 11,000,000. Carries Aid to Miner*. Because the California mines are Inaccessible to tbe standard mine safety railroad car, a special rescue truck has been provided by congress for that state, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The car seats ten men and carries an oxygen-breathing apparatus for each man; a supply of oxygen totaling 600 cubic feet, distributed in six cylinders, two oxygen inhalators; ten safety lamps, twe army stretchers; an ample supply of re generating material; caustic soda and sodium hydroxide, for use In oxygen breathing apparatus; a high-pressure nearer nnitin. to numD oxygen Into the Kv " 1 r - ? ?- . bottles for tbe breathing apparatus; a complete first-aid kit, and a 1,000- , foot life line. Gas masks are not Included, since they have been found useless in mine fires. Wonderful Liberality! Passengers in one of the sleeping cars from Hot Springs were aroused before daylight recently by the announcement of one of the passengers that he had lost his 11-carat ruby stickpin, which he asserted was worth $10,000 or more. On demand of the passenger a telegram was sent to the St Louis po? lice. When policemen met the train at Union station they were informed that the pin had been found by the porter In an upper berth, a few seats from the lower which the Little Rock man occupied.
