KEPT SHOES AS ORNAMENTS
American Footgear Considered by Un
fortunate Serbian Woman aa Alto
gether Too Beautiful to Wear.
Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground Is considered a ahoe
la Serbia.
In the remote rural districts of the
coon try it la said that many of the
people lire and die without owning a
pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselvea fortunate If they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with twine In winter.
The first American-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created a tremendous atlr
among the people of the distant vil
lages. One old woman who had never
owned a pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on a ahelf above the fire
place. She was as pleased as a child
to own them, but nothing could Induce
her to wear them. She said that she
Intended to save them for fetes, or
perhaps for her bnrial. They were
"much too beautiful to be worn," she
said.
Gem's Romantic History.
Tmly roniantl Is the story of the
Bragsnr.a dismond. a stone of l.twn
carats, and "as large n a goose's egg."
which, for more than a century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone,
whl-h Mr. Streeter. the gTeat author
ity on gems, has valued at 58.000,000,
wss picked up by three Brazilian out
laws In the half-dried bed of the
Ahalte river, in the province of MInas
CSeree.
The outlawa took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them to the governor, Into
whose possession It waa given. The
diamond, the largest and finest hither
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and a rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly offices they owed their good
fortune waa given high preferment In
th church.

Popular Mechanics Magaitne.
Helium Qaa Cheapened.
Tp to 1913 the total output of
helium gaa In all the world had prob
ably been less than 10O cubic feet, and
it was worth about $1,700 a cubic foot.
But Just before th armistice waa
signed a shipment of 130,000 cubic
feet of helium gaa waa aent to Europe,
and It costs lesa than 10 cents a coble
foot.
Helium gaa was first discovered on
the aun, by spectroscopy. It la the
beat gaa for use In balloons, because
It la not Inflammable. It la now ex
tracted from th natural gaa of Texaa
and Kansas. .
The method la delicate and com
plex, bat ia baaed upon the fact that
the prfnclpal constituents of natural
gaa liquefy when cooled to about tulnua
329 degreea F but that helium re
malna a gaa at that temperature, and
hence la easily separated.

SUMMONS
Flower Garden of Holland.
It was only after the fall of Con
stantinople In 14ft) that Holland he
came audi a gay land of flowers as It

East during the yeara of the great
crusades, and those of them who loved
beaatlful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted In
th rich soil of Holland such wondrous
flowers appeared as had never before
been aeen In that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colore and acenta and foliage
brought to them from the East, and
la Holland there sprang up a great
lev for gardening.

Nearly all the orchids found In
Burma can be grown with a little care
and attention in private gardens.

speclea called tazln by the Bur
mese, and which is usually brought to
market In Chrietmaa week In Rangoon.
