DEPEW MIXED IN HIS FACTS
Venerable New York Statesman a
Little Ahead of Time in Use
of Term “Highbrow.”
Who were “the highbrows of forty
years ago,” of whom Chauncey M.
Depew spoke in giving his recollec-
tions of Theodore Roosevelt at the
Methodist preachers’ conference?
The venerable ex-senator, relating
the circumstances of Mr. Roosevelt's
political debut in 1880, quoted “a Re-
publican district leader” as suggesting
to 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”
that time? 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 of 1910, though it appears
in the New Standard of 1913.
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superseded by
York World.
PROVING THAT “WOMAN PAYS”
Tragedy of War None the Less Pitiful
Because Not Expressed in
Blood and Fire.
“highbrows.” — New
Upstairg in the big hospital a young
woman was greeting her soldier fiance
back from Flanders, badly wounded.
In the waliing 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
listening to one of war's tragedies,
albeit this was not expressed in blood
and fire, For the sergeant 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 Y care for her more,
that's all. Perhaps if I'd never seen
her we'd have got along all right. But
I did, and as soon as 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 happened. 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 hand a ring,
with such 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 Mail.
Restoring Oil Paintings,
To repair an oil painting which
shows 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 up 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 care tkis should never happen,
and old paintings which would other-
wise have to be thrown away can be
made as good as new.
Abandon Big Kelp Plant.
The plant for reducing kelp, erected
at San Diego, Cal., at a cost of $5,500,
000, is to be abandoned because the
eost of harvesting and handling the
kelp is higher than the peace time
prices obtained for the products, ac-
cording to Dr. W. I. Noot, who has
been connected with the chemical de-
partment of the kelp works, says
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He says,
however, that the people who are burn- :
ing kelp after drying it will continue to i
produce potash, which is mixed with |
mineral products from the packing |
houses and sold for fertilizer. Doctor |
Noot says something is attacking the
kelp and that the beds will entirely
disappear.

Early Rising.
“Deo. you remember how we used to |
'scold Josh about oversleeplng before |
'he went into the army?’ sald Mrs. |
| Corntossel. |
! “Yes,” replied the farmer; “that's |
|why we can't say a word when he gets |
|up at daybreak and accompanies the |
roosters on his cornet.” |

CHANGES WROUGHT BY WAR
Many Things Have Been Brought to
Pass That Would Shock Old-
time Observers.
Quite a number of things have hap-
pened during or in consequence of the
war which never happened before. No
British king had ever passed under
Napoleon’s Arc de Triomphe untii
King George’s recent visit to Paris.
No British army had before helped to
defend France against an invader.
British and Prussian troops had never
previously tried conclusions. Never
before the war had armies from India,
America, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land or South Africa landed in Europe.
Until Mr. Wilson, no “reigning”
president of the United States had
crossed the Atlantic during his term
of office. though ex-presidents have
done so.
Jerusalem, Damascus and Bagdad
bud never before been captured by
modern European armies, nor had
British soldiers ever previously
{ marched through Mesopotamia. The
| British flag is the first standard of #
| Christian nation to float over Con-
| stantinople as that of a conqueror
| since the taking of the city by the
Turks over four centuries ago. No
king of Prussia had ever lost his
throne or been driven Into exile be-
fore; and no war had ever hrought
misfortune on so many rulers or led
to so many new states being set up.
GOODBY TO FATHER WINTER
No Doubt That Spring Is Here, With
All the Joyousness That the
Season Should Bring.
The harbingers of spring are numer-
ous, though often obscure. It does not
take many warmish days at this time
of the year to make the heart of ani-
mate Nature, including man, to throb
with hope. We have been filled with
forebodings. All of our mild December
, we sald that the autumn was lingering
{long this year. In equally mild Jan-
i uary we prognosticated that we would
i “get It” in February. We are still a
I little fearful that old Father Winter
may have some ice and snow for us In
his storehouse and so we try not to
' he too forward looking.
But a complete plan of the garden
drawn to a scale, with every radish
and bean and cabbage located is not
rushing the season. and It is a mighty
pleasant thing to make out these days.
Stewart Edward White says he always
zets out his book of flies in February,
furbishes up the old ones and replaces
the missing favorites, and dreams, the
while, of pools and rapids. The house:
keeper sighs at the sight of grimy wal!
paper and then hopefully begins to
houseclean the spare room. A few
hopeful robins came back this week.
as well as some blackbirds. They say
the skunk cabbages are blooming along
Big Darby’s rocky shore. Spring is
on the way !—Ohilo State Journal.
Healthy Men Defied “Flu.
An observant hospital corps man of
the navy became so thoroughly con-
vinced that lowered resistance was
always the determining factor in con-
tracting influenza that he and some
of his mates volunteered to test the .
truth of his theory The offer was ac-
cepted and 100 enlisted men who vol-
unteered were submitted to exhaus-
tive experiments by naval surgeons.
the outcome of which seems to con-
firm the theory. These men were all
in the best of physical condition, and
during the experiment their health was
looked after carefully. Live cultures
of Influenza bacilli were sprayed in
their throats and noses hourly, The
germs were introduced into their food. !
They were kept in close contact with
patients suffering from the disease.
Some members of the group received
varlous preventive inoculations, but
others were not thus protected. Not
a single case of influenza was de |!
veloped.
“Great Tom” Not in Abbey.
Westminster abbey bells, which are
now being overhauled against the cele-
bration of peace, do not, as many peo-
ple think, include the famous bell
“Great Tom of Westminster,” which
was formerly rung on all important
occasions.
Great Tom hung for centuries in the
clock tower of the royal palace of
Westminster, but when in 1715 the
tower was no longer strong enough to
stand the vibration and was taken
down the bell was sent to St. Paul's
cathedral instead of being taken to the
abbey.
Great Tom’s duties are now con-
fined to striking the hours and tolling
for royal and important deaths and
burials.
Merely Wanted to Know.
Alvin comes to see me daily. On
each visit I usually give him some-
thing, candy or whatever I have. Hap-
pening to have an exceptionally good
box of sweets I gave him a piece,
whereupon he returned the second
time that day and inquired: “Have
you got any more of that good candy?”
Reproving him for asking for it he re-
plied, “I didn’t ask to gub me any;
I dust want to know if you dot any
more.”—Chicago Tribune. 1
Contradictory Emotions.
“Something I can’t understand,”
mused Senator Sorghum, “is the way
contradictory emotions siraultazeously
develop.”
“Referring to what?”
“Every time I begin to talk about
universal peace some suggestion oe-
curs that warms up my fighting
blood.”
