These men are mostly Chileans and a tougher-looking company than these seagoing longshoremen could not be found, even among the bandits of southern Europe and Asia or the old time pirates of the West Indies. Swarthy, undersized, dirty and clothed In rags, they seem to touch the bottom notch in the scale of human ity. What they lack In Intelligence is apparently made up hi animal cunning and ferocity." Even a crew of Kanukas refuse to berth or mess with them. Every one carries a knife, which he can throw with the speed and accuracy of a bullet. ' They are commanded by an over peer" who Is addressed as captain nnd. who exerts a certain degree of author ity over them. They do their own cooking aboard ship, each man serv ing as cook for a week, at the end of which time he resigns In favor of the next in line. . Of course the captain never descends to menial labor, not even to work the cargo. To Renovate Velvet When renovating velvet brush out all the dust. Hold the right side over steam until quite moist and -Iron on wrong side, or the velvet can be thor: oughly brushed on right side and stains removed, then moistened on wrong side and Ironed. Never lay vel vet down when Ironing. Stand the Iron firmly on end, or have some one hold It for you, and, holding the velvet taut with both hands, pass It across the Iron, having back of velvet against Iron. If the garment Is large It may be more convenient to fasten one end firmly, or have an assistant hold It, then holding the other end tightly, up high, with your left hand iron It on wrong side. This treatment will make velvet look like new. Kansas City Star. .. ' - Easily Settled A lady artist was giving a studio dinner with the usual Bohemian twist to it Approaching a guest she asked in a kittenish manner: "What Is the difference between imported caviar and hash?" Taking this for a playful riddle the guest replied: 1 don't know." "Then you'd Just as soon have hash,' 'aid the hostess,-serving him-with-a arge portion. . i';.....,z..-:' Word "Hell" Has Been Given Many Meanings The word hell has today several meanings. 1. The abode of evil spir its; the Infernal region, especially a place of eternal punishment for lost spirits. 2. Figuratively It is used to Indicate a place of extrement, evil or misery. 3. A place of departed spirits, called by the Greeks hades, and by the Hebrews sheol. 4. A place, of evil or rejected things. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible states that "This Is the word (hell) generally and unfortunately used by our translators to render the Hebrew word Sheol. It would perhaps have been better to retain the Hebrew word Sheol, or else lender It always by 'the grave' or 'the pit ... It Is clear that In many passages of the Old Testament sheol can only mean 'the grave and it Is so rendered In the Authorized Version in Genesis 37:35, 40:39; I Samuel 2:6; Job 14:13. In other passages, however, It seems to Involve u notion of punishment, and Is,' therefore, rendered In the Author ized Version by the word hell. The word most frequently used In the New Testament for the place of future pun ishment Is Gehenna or Gehenna of Fire." Our word hell Is a Teutonic word from a root meaning to cover. In old English the word was wrlteen hel. As Magnet Finds Iron If any one should give me a dish of sand and tell me there were particles of Iron in It, I might look for them with my eyes, and search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them ; but let me take a mag net and sweep through It, and how would it draw to itself the almost in visible particles by mere power of at traction! The unthankful heart, like my fingers In the sand, discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the Iron, so will It find In every hour some heavenly bless ings; only the iron In God's hand is gold. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Term Used by Masons The name "Cyclopean masonry" Is given to walls constructed of large. Ir regular, but. closely fitting stones, un hewn nnd nncemented, specimens of which may still be seen at Mycenae and TIryns and other parts of Greece, and also In Italy. These walls were probably built by the. Pelasglans, a race anterior to the Greeks and Bo- mans, about 1000 B. C ; but later gen erations, struck by their vast propor Hons, ascribed their construction to the fabulous race of the Cyclopes, whence thelr name. Examples of Cyclopean masonry exist also In 8 Idly, Ireland. Pern, and Ar!ca. Exchange. BRANCH LIBRARY REPORT Yearly report of Athena Branch Library from January 1, 1925 to December 31, 1925.

" Fled From Native Land The name "emigres" Is given to those persons who left France at the tim of the revolution. The royal princes fled In 1789, In consequence of the fall of the Bastille, and were followed, after the adoption of the constitution of 179L by all those who felt aggrieved by the extinction of their privileges. The greater number of these refugees returned in iwrj. after the peace of Amiens, owing to an amnesty grant by Napoleon Bona narte.. while first consul.- Many, how ver. remained abroad until after the fall of Napoleon. According to the charter of 1814. the emigres were on able to recover their estates or their nrivilpees. In 1825. however, a com pensatlon of 30,000,000 francs yearly wr.s granted those emigres who bad lout their landed estates. This, grant was annulled after the July revolu tion of 1830.
