TENNYSON RUDE TO GUEST
Invited One of His Admirers to Lunch
eon and Then Refused to Talk
to Her.
Tennyson gained a reputation in his
later years for rudeness. It was due
perhaps to his dislike of intrusions
upon his solitude. When the mood was
upon him he was apt to disregard en-
tirely the conventionalities.
A neighbor of the poet laureate once
asked if he might bring to Aldworth a
woman who was visiting in his home,
She was well known in society. It was
carefully explained to Tennyson that
the woman had a great admiration for
the poet's works and desired very
much to see him. Tennyson assented
quite readily, telling the neighbor to
bring her to luncheon and named the
day. When the day arrived the poet
had forgotten all about it and, as it
chanced, was in one of his solitary
moods.
‘The woman was introduced; Tenny-
son bowed. Luncheon was announced
and they went in; she sat next her
host, who throughout the meal did not
utter a word. At the end of it he re-
tired In silence to his own room and
the woman left the house, to which she
had made her pilgrimage In hope and
reverence, not having heard so much
as the sound of the poet’s voice

It 4s with a good deal of satisfuction

The plarps for the observance of Golden Rule Sunday call upon the people of
America to serve a menu in their homes similar to that served in the orphan-
ages in the near east, the difference in cost of the orphanage menu and the
ordinary meal to be contributed to orphanage work overseas.
The observ-
ance is very appropriately fixed for the Sunday following Thanksgiving.
Having on Thursday partaken from well-laden tables as a token of rejoicing
in the prosperity of America, it is fitting that on the following Sunday people
give special consideration to the needs and distress of those who are less
highly favored.

RELIEF HAS SAVED MILLION
People of All Nations Will Figurative

Practical Sign of Sympathy With
Near East Sufferers.
How many comfortably fed, clothed
and housed Americans will sit down
to a Sunday dinner of rice, corn grits
and soup—typical orphan fare-—on
December 2, as a practical test of the
golden rule?
The question is asked today by
Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary
of Near East Relief, who is in charge
of the plans for the general observ-
ance throughout the United States of
“Golden Rule Sunday.” In an inter-
view, Mr. Vickrey said:
“If American people will renounce
for one meal the food they are accus-
tomed to eat, and contribute the dif-
ference in cost to the support of starv-
ing children in the near east, the situ-
ation in Greece, Armenia and Pales-
tine will become infinitely more real
to them.
“l have recently returned from sev-
eral months in those countries. Ameri-
ca is a name to conjure with there.
Bitter reproaches are heard against
nearly every other country, but none
against us. That is because people
realize that Americans have gone to
them with a helping hand and a
square deal, rather than with the
mailed fist.
“America could well have afforded
to have spent every penny of her re-
lief funds as a long-sighted, cold-blood-
ed business propasition. The good-
will that has resulted from relief
work in the near east is of incalcul-
able value. When these orphans we
are caring for today grow to man-
hood, they will become the leaders of
their nations and their eyes will turn
toward America.
“At least a million persons in the
near east would not be alive today had
it not been for American aid. Even
today, 100,000 persons are being cared
for day to day by the Near East Re-
lief, mostly women and children who
would probably perish in a few days
or weeks if the work ceased.
“Our workers are now concentrat-
ing not only on the physical care of
our 50,000 orphans, but on their in-
dustrial training as well. At the age
of 16, when a» orpha leaves our
care, he is equipped to enter some
useful trade or business. In Narazeth
there are boys working in our carpen-
ter shop a few feet from the spot
where Christ toiled. In Macedonia,
hundreds of Greek orphans are learn-
ing farming in the atmosphere where
Paul spent many years in establishing
the first European churches.
“Five dollars a month provides food
and physical necessities for an or-
phan, and $100 a year provides for his
edacation as well. The observance
of Golden Rule Sunday by a mil
lion American families will provide
enough funds for thousands of orphans.
“When people break bread together,
they become friends. On this Inter-
national Golden Rule Sunday people
of all nations figuratively willigather
around the same table, partaking of
the same food representing the menu
which the unfortunate children of the
near east hope, by the benevolence of
the West, to eat 365 days in the year.
But even this simple menu the or-
phana cannot have unless the rest of
the world practices the Golden Rule.”

European Countries Join Ameri-

Golden Rule as Prac-
tical Program.
Geneva, Switzerland.—Officials of re
lief organizations from fourteen Eurc-
pean countries have asked their gov-
ernments and peoples to join in a
great international movement to save
the destitute orphans and widowed
mothers in those countries of the Near
East that have suffered from recent
wars.
Dec. 2 has been set aside as “Golden
Rule Sunday.” On that day people
will be asked to observe the broad
principle of the Golden Rule by fore-
going their usual noonday meal and
tating instead the frugal ration usually
partaken of by the parentless children
of Greece, Armenia and Palestine.
The world’s people will then be
asked to contribute the difference in
the cost of the two meals to the prin-
cipal relief organization in their coun-
try, to be administered for the needy
children.
Notable people in Europe who will
co-operate to give the day an inter-
national aspect are King George of
Greece, Prince Carl of Sweden, ex-
Premier Clemenceau of France, M.
Paul Hymans and Pr. Alice Masaryk.
AMERICAN FOODS BEST
SAYS FAMOUS DOCTOR
Athens.—American standard food-
stuffs are the best in the world, says
Dr. Mabel Elliott, famous woman phy-
sician, who for the past two vears has
been medical director of American or-
phanages in the Near East. From the
standpoint of purity and high food
value, she asserts that no European
nation can compete with the United
States, and for this reason she insists
on American products in all orphan-
ages and hospitals, in order to meet
adequately the needs of undernour-
ished children.
Dr. Elliott's annual report, sum-
ming up the results of the care of
50,000 children in orphanages as well
as clinics for 50,000 additionad chil
dren in refugee camps and homes,
says:
“Stable American foods are now
the backbone of all our menus for re-
building children who became weak
and anaemic during the refugee ex-
odus from Asia Minor. Our menus
contain, not only bread made from
American flour, and corn grits in por-
ridge and stews, but also the liberal
use of corn syrup, American con-
densed milk and American cocoa and
macaroni, thus making a balanced
ration to meet all the scientific re-
quirements as to relative food values,
calories and vitamines.
The favorite orphanage pudding is
composed of corn grits with cocoa,
sweetened with corn syrup, and made
more nutritious and palatable by add-
ing a sauce of American condensed
milk. Such a pudding has a high food
value and is very economical—no
other equivalent food value could be
obtained from other foods at twice the
cost. Moreover, it is so palatable
that children eat it eagerly several
times a week, and never seem to tire
of it. The American people, in pro-
viding for these parentless children
such pure and wholesome foods from
their own tables, are certainly making
a practical application of the golden
rule.”
Dr. Elliott has recently returned to
America to arrange for the publica.
tion of a book of her experiences un-
der the title of “Beginning Again at
Ararat.”
| MISTAKES MADE BY POETS
Blunders in Literature Are Not All
Confined to the Living
Authors.
The blunders in literature are mot
all confined to living authors.
Milton's lines, “Thick as autumnal
leaves that strew the brooks in Val-
lombrosa,” are familiar to everyone,
but, as a matter of fact, the Vallom-
brosa forests are all of pine trees, so
that there are no leaves, and pine nee-
dles do not fall in the autumn, but to-
wards spring.
In “Comus” he writes:
And in the violet embroidered vale
Where the lovelorn nightingale
Nightly to thee her sad song mourneth
well.
Unfortunately for the poet, the male
nightingale alone sings and the female
is voiceless.
Another classic writer who allowed
his meter to get the better of his sense
was Pope, who wrote:
When first young Maro, in his noble
A work Bl: wiles immortal Rome de-
signed.
He had overlooked the fact that, if
Rome was immortal, nothing could
outlast it.
But neither of these is any worse
than the story of Pharaoh's daughter
finding the infant Moses among the
bulrushes on the banks of the Nile, As
a matter of fact, bulrushes do not
thrive in that part of the world, and
there are none on the banks of the
Nile.
In his youthfulness may be found
some excuse for Keats writing:
Like stout Cortez, when, with eager
He PIO the Pacific,
Balboa discovered the Pacific, and
not Cortez.
VULCAN THE GOD OF FIRE

god of fire, the patron of blocksmiths
and workers in metals, and the srmor-
er of the gods.

After dwelling for nine years with

neath Oceanus, Vulcan returned to
Olympus, but was cast out a second

Lemnos and there set up his forges;

Curious Things About Starfish.
Legs on a starfish? At first you will
gore than likely say not, but if you
want to make certain put one in a
pool of water and watch what hap-
pens. Soon you will notice it scram-
bling over stones and gliding up any
rock that may happen to be in its way.
This is the moment to snatch it up and
have a look at the hundreds of little
legs it keeps curled up inside, ready
to poke out of holes in the skin when
required.
A starfish also has eyes in the tips
of its rays, and one particular kind
possesses eyelids which open and shut.
Another curious fact about the star-
fish is that if one of its rays is cut
off another one will grow, and if the
creature is cut completely In half,
each half will throw out new rays, so
that in a few weeks two starfishes
appear instead of one, :
Some starfish have a habit of break-
Ing Into pieces of their own accord
when alarmed. Even a shadow will
cause them to give a shudder and
break into bits. Most starfish have
a curious habit of protecting their
eggs. They heap them together in a
small pile and then bend their rays
downward so that they stand on thelr ,
tips and form a kind of cage or table,
How to Test Fresh Eggs.
The best test of all for the egg is its
appearance after it is broken—if the
white and yolk run together it is evi-
dence that the egg is not strictly fresh,
though no odor is perceptible. But
that is too late to save money, if not
to avert an actual catastrophe. One
way to tell a newly laid egg is by the
“glow” or “bloom” on the shell.
This glow disappears after handling
and on being exposed to the air for
some time. Fresh eggs are full and
rose-colored when held up to the light;
large dark spots and shadows indicate
decay.
A cold-storage egg will be darker
ind somewhat shrunken in appear-
ance, If the egg when placed in a 10
cent solution of salt water sinks
to the bottom it is to be considered
perfectly fresh; if it remains im-
mersed in the liquid, it is at least
three days old; if it rises to the sur-
face it is more than five days old.
