On the great main route- between Frankfort and Cologne, the little town of Koenlgsteln has1 enjoy*! en un? usual, though not unprecedented, mil? itary Importance this' sumner, on|hg to the fact,that General Mangln hns made It his headquarters. The de? struction of Its fqrtress, the building of tallways and 'steamships for the Rhine, all those had shorn Koenlg? steln of its one-time Importance, and during the lest 130 year*, hut for the bustle end laughter of tbe periodic holiday-maker, the little town seeih? to have fallen asleep. Through gently rising and falling country, paar gar? dens which are a colored 1 angle of climbing geraniums and otner flowers, the traveler conies upon Koeolgstein. And Instantly his attention is arrested by the great ruin, si leaf, misshapen, upon the hill, forcing upon the pres? ent. Inexorably, the memory of the past. Here owing to the treachery of one of his messengers, the French gfneral, Meunier, sjiWendered to the Prussians In 1702; here the French returned four years, later In triumph, only shortly after to destroy and then abandon their little city encompassed by Jt*^ powerful wells, lest the ap? proaching enemy should once more Ihtrench hirosel/ there. Today, In rimes of peace, a great Frepch soldier walks beneath the shadow of the fortress, while his men in their pic? turesque asure uniforms, climb incon sequeatly about its shattered terraces end through its broken doorways. HELPING FRANCE TO REBUILD Csliforniana Responsible for the Ejec? tion of Model Village In the Devastated Region. Anyone, acquainted with the mar? velous recuperative energy of France will bjLrdly be surprised at the pace with which she is rebuilding her waste placet and desolate herUcifes. Less than two years ago, along the banks of ihe Marne, til was ruin and desola-1 tlon; where once had been thriving . Tillages, not one brick stood upou so-1 other. Today, houses amidst their neatly planted gardens an? springing up everywhere, and the peasant Is to he seen once more serenely at work in thp fields as though during these past years he had known no other setting for his labors than this silent, peaceful countryside. One thing he has gained from this destruction and ht.lldlng up again. The d irk, it com? modious, often dilapltfated home of the past has been replaced by a com? fortable up-to-date (JwelUrg. Aaiong the most remarkable of these post bellum French villages Is one in the department of the Meurthc^et-Mcselle, which has been wholly rebuilt under the superintendence of Caiifominn women, architects and designers. An Ideal model village, artistic, orderly, practical in Its extreme simplicity, this little homestead Is held In great esteem by its inhabitants, who are de? termined to prove themselves worthy of so attractive a setting. Oeing "On High" In a Flivver. Going to heaven "on high'* In a flivver has come to be a fact rather thnn mere fancy. *At leant the feat has been attempted, in efligf. This cti\ rlous ceremony took plaoe recently in Tientsin, China* soys ihe Kansas Olty Stir. It Is a custom among the rich In China to burn various effigies at the funeral ceremonies. The effigies rep? resent every manner of thing from animals to tables loaded with money, ^hen the wealthy Mr. Li died the fam? ily ordered an Imitation of his car burned at his grave. The effigy, which was constructed In detail, with Chinese paper and reed ami bamboo frames, was carried through the streets for more than three miles to the grave side. The elfiglal an to, upholstering, tires, and even the otftgtal driver, were consumed by the blaze in a few minutes. New Minister.

OEPEW MIXED IN HIS FACTS Venerable New York Statesman * Little Ahead of Time in Use of Term "Highbrow." Who were "the highbrows of forty years ago," of whom Chnunccy M. Depew epoke in giving his recollec? tions of Theodore Rooseveit nt the Methodist preachers' conference? The venerable ex-senator, relating the circumstances of Mr. Kooacvelt's political debut in 1880, quoted "a Re? publican district leader" as suggesting lo him the nomination of the young Harvard graduate for assemblyman to placate the element in his district "which the boys call 'high brow,' liv? ing along Fifth avenue." Was there "any sich animal" at tlial; lime? It was four years before the appearance of the mugwump, who. though a highbrow according to his lights, was not the simon-pure article. His was not "a superior attitude toward the generality of mankind." but only toward certain political rep? resentatives of it. The real highbrow was yet to come. "Was Will Irwin his Inventor? ex? cursions into the origins of words are always hazards, even In the case of contemporary coinage, but it appears to be sufficiently well authenticated that highbrow is a more recent prod? uct than Mr. Depew would have us suppose. Indeed, highball got Into the diction? aries before highbrow, which is not cited in the Century of 1911 or the Webster ot 1910, though it appears in the New Standard of 1?13. An octogenarian memory, though It is a marvelous storehouse of events, may at times deceive its possessor. What the district leader probably said was "silk stockings." Mr. Depew has apparently merely confused the period at which the grow? ing indulgence of the. proletariat in silk stockings caused the term to be superseded by "highbrows." ?New York World. -?% * , PROVING THAT "WOMAN PAYS" Tragedy of War None the Less Pitiful Because Not Expressed in Blood and Fire. Upstairs In the big hospital o young woman was greeting her soldier fiance buck from Flunders, badly wounded. In the waiting room the Woman Who Saw tried to kill time by writing a let? ter. Suddenly the page grew blurred, and the pen stopped. Willy-nilly, she was 1'Mening to one of war's tragedies, albeit this waa not expressed in blood and fire. . For the eergeao t with the bandaged arm was telling the girl who sat beside him on the sofa that he no longer cared for her. Like the stroke of a bludgeon came his words, carrying clearly to the listener, who could not stop her ears, "I'm sorry, but I care for her more, that's all. Perhaps If rd, 'aever seen her we'd have got along all right. But I did, end as soon ns I can send for her I'm going to marry her. I was bil? leted with her mother, and we got ac? quainted, and It just happeued. Sorry, but it can't be helped. Her name's Marie," he concluded. And then silence fell heavily. Not a word spoke the rather plain-looking girl beside him. Nor did she cry. After a little she took from her hnnd a ring, with 6uch a tiny stone, and thrust It at him. "Give it to her," she said. And with? out a backward glance she left the room.?London Mall. Restoring Oil Paintings, To, repair an oil painting which mows blemishes, such as cracks, pro? ceed as follows: Fill a shallow dish with alcohol and place the picture face downward over it, taking care that it does not actually touch the liquid. The fumes from the alcohol rise to the paint, and In a few minutes the cracks fill tip and the colors appear bright and new. It Is necessary to watch the process closely, for If the painting Is exposed to the fumes too long the colors will run together and the pic? ture will be spoiled. With reason? able caro this should never happen;, and old paintings which would other? wise haye to be throwu away can be made as good as new. Abandon Big Kelp Plant. The plant for reducing k^tp, erected at San Dlcgo, Cab, nt a cost of $5,500, 000, Is to be abandoned because the cost of harvesting and handling the kelp Is higher than the peace time prices obtained for the products, ac? cording to Dr. W. I. Noor, who has been connected with the chemical de? partment of the kelp works, says! Seattle Post-Intelllgencer.
