AWAKES FROM LONG SLEEP
Uttls Ttwti ef KoeniQsteln Has a
Brief Resumption of Military
Glory of the Past.
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the past has been replaced by a com?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.
The new minister, who was rather
young, and five-year-old Marian be?
came great friends at sight. And Mar
Ian was not Impressed much by his
ministerial dignity even at church. The
other Sunday when he went home with
tjiem for dinner she was delighted.
The little girl from next door came
over to see the visitor. "He's the min?
ister at your church?Isn't he?" she
asked.
, Very decisively Marian shook her
head. "Oh, no; he's just a ulce boy,
who sometimes comes to our house
and eats a whole lot and sometimes
goes to our church and t;*lks a little

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

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. He sjiys,
however, that the people who are burn?
ing kelp nfterdrying it will continue to
produce potash, which Is mixed with
mineral products from the packing
houses and sold for fertilizer. Doctor
No? i says something is attackiug the
kelp and that the beds will entirely
disappear.
Bright Idea for Feminine Apparel.
Professor Clinician noted certain
substances that have the permanent
quality of developing intense brilliancy
of color when brought near the light
and fading away to dullness again as
tu?? light decreases. He urged re?
search wj^h a view to obtaining ???
Increased number of these bodies and
their possible application to textile
fabrics. As a true Italian despite hi*
