PIRATES IN. PETTICOATS.
Only Two of. Thom Recorded 1n
•
World's }listener. °
There have been only two Women
pirates Anne Bonney and Mari
Read, Who were ,captured in„ the
CaribbeanSea little over a century
ago and charged with rhavinv,pirati-
cal tendencies," says Tit -Bits,
• At her trial Anne Bonney con
-
teased her -reason for becoming a
pirate. The daughter- of a Carolina
planter, she •was disowned by her
father for marrying a common aaIIor
After. the elopement and marriag
she ran away dressed in male attire
.-she discovered that her buSband
was a pirate, and decided to join him
in his adventures,.
Prom her childhood days the garb
-
of man had always had a fascination
for her, and when she joined -her
husband in his piratical voyage she
dohned the full dress et the bold
buccaneer,
None but her line -ban& was aware
of bee sex or identity. She took milk
above her men cornrhdes and obtain-
ed a high reputation for courage,
The manner in which -she met Mary
Read, the only other woman pirate
known tO history, is curious I1 the
extreme and makes fascinating" read-
ing. Mary Read was on another pi,
rate ship, and, as often happens, the
two came to blows on the open sea.
After h terrific combat the fship on
which Anne Bonney was sailing ad-
mitted defeat, and racng the board-
ers was Mary Read. -
Although at first each was ignor-
ant of the sex of the other, the two
female pirates became fast friends.
They only found each other out when
Mary Read began to fair in love with
Anhe Bonney's husband.
Even this, however, did not Impair
the mutual feelings of frieedlinees,
for Mary Read soon married another
man who was -also a pirate.
Curiously enough, the two Women
became widows at the same time;
this was during an engagement when
the ship flying the skull and icross-
bones had perforce to flee befoke one
of his Britannic Majesty's se.hooners.
-The piratical careers of these wo-
Men plunderers ended in an engage-
ment with A -British, ship, which went
diatistrously against them. Rare'
Read died in prison, and Anne Bon-
ney, who had several people to plead
for her, was restored to her family.
Why We Must Have Sugar.
From -the °earliest times sugar
formed a large portion of man's -food;
Negroes ant other intabltants of
tropical counfties live largely on
plantains, mangoes, dates, bread,
fruit, cocoanuts, and other fruits,
which all contain a considerable per-,
centage of sweetness.
Sugar, as Audi, is not to be pur-
chased in a general .African village,
but the people do not teed it, for
they breve fruit all the year reined,
and the children have sugar •cane to
smelt or the sweet stalks, of the maze
plant to chew,
1/ere, in the temperate zone, fruits.
are less Plentiful, or, rather, they:
are plentiful during only three
months out of the twelve, and we live,
on seeds rather than fruits. Wheat,
barley, oats, rice, maize, and millets
are the principal food stuffs of the
human race in our latitudes. And our,
ehief root food, the potato, is starchy,
not sugary. •
Now, races that have.. to go with-
out eugar, such as the Sameyedes or
Eskimo, are almost invariably stunt-
ed. We ourselves and nearly' all
North Europeans were small: people
until Applies of sugar began to reach
U�; 'In the forty years between 1860
and. 1900 Great Britain's consump-
tion of sugar trebled, and those were
Just the years in which the height
and weight of our people, as well as
their general health, improved most
wonderfully. ,
Bald Heads at Peace Conference.
An amusing sidelight on the re-
cent Peace Conference' at Versailles
is thrOwn, says Answers, by a corre-
spondent, who not only reported the
proceedings proper, but took notes
regarding the hair, moustaches,
beards and whiskers of the peace-
makers.
Two-thirds of the delegates were
more or less bald. Perhaps some of
them made up for this by wearing
moustaches. Out of 65 men who sat
around the peace table, all had mous-
taches but 14.
Whiskers, on the other hand, were
not popular. Only three people wore
them, and by a curious coincidence,
the names of all these three people
began with V. They were Venizelos
of Greece, Vandemelde t BelgiuM.
and Vassitch of Serbia. The latter%
whiskers- were particularly pronl-
'neut.
In regard to dress, there was less
formal attire than one might have
imagined.'The British paid no spe-
cial attention to dress. Bowler hats
and frock -coats, once a combination
that would never have been sanction-
ed, were quite popular; but there
were some countries whiCh put all
they knew into their attire. These
were, notably, the Japanese, and
some of the South American statefs.
Button boots and lace boots, We
are told, came out even.

TORNADOES' COME BACK'
• If it be admitted thet lightning
does not 'strike twice in the same
place, the flame cannot truthfully be
said of tornadoes. The little town of
Coda, in Western Kansas, was hit
three years itt succession by "cyclone
twisters," and each time on May 25,
The tornado is of all natural phen-
omena (save perhaps a volcanic ex-
plosion) the most appalling. Revolv-
ing at a rate estimated at five hundred
miles a minute, the "funnel cloud" de-
stroys everything in its path, which
may not be more than 200 or 300 feet
Incidental l to a frightful de-
vastation, it indulges in all sorts of
freak 'performances, plucking chick-
ensstripping people naked, carrying'
-babies for miles unhurtrdriving straws
thro4gh,inch-planks, and (by creating
a vacuum outside) causing houses to
explode.
One of the ost violent tornadoes
to visit:A t en recent Years, is
one which.'Elmwood, in East -

could plainly $14 the "funnel" revolve

path. Par aloft in the funnel of the
tornado a house seemed for some time
to be poised intact; then it flattened
out and was scattered like a pack of

THE REASON WHY
The whistle of the wind is caused
very much like the whistle you make
with your mouth or the noise made by
the steam escaping through the spout
of the kettle. You do not hear the
'wind whistle when you are out in it.
You can hear it when you are in the
house and the wind is blowing hard.
When the wind blows against the
house it tries to get in through all
the crevices, under the cracks of the
doors, down the chimneys, 'wherever
it finds an opeaing. And whenever
it starts through an opening that is
too small for It, it makes a noise like
the steam corning out of the spout of
the kettle, provided, the opening is
of a certain shape.
Not all the noises made by the
wind, however, are made in this way.
The wind in blowing against things
makes them vibrate like the strings
After the second service of the bird
things vibrate, as we have already
seen, they produce sound waves,
which, when they strike out ears,
produce sounds of various kinds. The
wind even on ordinary days ma1s

is flowing through .the arteries of
your face giites the face a reddish
tinge, and your face becomes white
when you' are frightened, because
then theblood leaves the face. It is
quite singular, but when you are
really frightened, whatever the cause
may be, the human system receives
such a shock that the heart just a-
bout stops beating altogether. When
your heart stops beating, of course,
the flood of the blood from the heart
stops, and then there is no supply
of fresh red blood coming through the
arteries under the skin of your face.
Therefore, you look white -the color
your face would be if no blood ever
flowed though your arteries and
veins. Some people have faees so
white they look as though they were
scared all thei time. This is not be- Te locomotive*,

The S'porting buithict,
Back in 1 early days of '1915,
When the ravaged and terrors of war
awoke the small game to the realize -
tion of the fact that something un-
usual was happening, a rather amus-
ing incident occurred in one of our
Canadian battalions which, at that
time warholding a portion of the
line in Northern France,
The amusing and exciting moment
was -caused by the appearance of a
rabbit romping around in close prox-
imity to the front line, - "Stout" 'as
he was nick -named, one of our bat-
talion snibers„ upon '- observing it
quickly brought it to the attention of
one of the boys; A small wager mess
speedily arranged between them as
to who would be the first pne to
shoot it. "Stout" who was first to
train.lis rifle on the target was about
to fire when a Shot from presumably
a sniper in the Hun lines found the
rabbit, thereby enabling them to
gain, their objective and incidentally
sexing probably 'a box of ammunition
which undoubtedly the k would have
exhausted before achieving their aim.
The wager naturally having been
called off on account of a "No, Hit
Game" on their side, appropriately
termed so by one of the fans, was
rearranged that the first one to Be-
rrie the rabbit would 'win the stakes.
At that time it was not considered
suitable to make the "hop -off" -: al-
though, according to the condition,
an inthependept start could be made
at any time without the knotwiedge
of the other competitor. ,Stout% op-
ponent, who was determined to gain
the rabbit and the prize, started out
by a circuitous route in order to be
. a less conspicuous target to the en-
emy's fire, finally arrived within a
few yards from ' the scene, when to
his astonishment the rabbit who had
only received a- fracture of one of
its fore legs arose and limped feebly
towards our front line trench. Its
Pursuer, ,not considering it advisable
to follow in its wake, owing to com-
teete , exposure to fire, retraced his
tracks homeward, only to find that
"Stout" had caught the rabbit which
had fallen exhausted within a few
yards of the trench, and was prepar-
ing it for thee evening meal.-:R.11.1F.

Lancers Ted r to Capture FlotlUa.
The Llanero ofp South America
lives on horseback. He trades, buys
and sells on horseback, and in the
war with Spain with Llaneros con-
tributed much toward achieving the.
independence of Venetuela and New
Granada, says the Detroit News.
There is related a story of an oc-
casion when it was necessary. for
33olivar's army'to cross the Apure to
engage Morillo, But Bolivar had no
boats and the Apure at this point
was wide and deep.
The Spanish flotilla was guarding
the river opposite the patriot forces.
Bolivar was in despair. Turning to
Paez, he said: "1 would give the
world to have the Spanish flotilla.
Without it I can never cross the
river"
"It shall be yours in an hour,"
replied Paez.
Selecting 300 of his Llanero lan-
cers, all distinguished for strength
and bravery, he said, pointing to the
guuboats: "We must have j these
ftecheras or die. Let those follow
who please."
-Spurring his horse he dashed into
the river and swam toward the flo-
tilla. The Llaneros followed with
their lances in their hands, now en-
couraging their horses by swimming
beside them and patting their necks,
now shouting to scare away croco-
diles, of which there were hundreds.
At last they reached the other side
and sprang from their horses' beaks,
on board the boats, headed by their
leadsr. To the astonishment of every-
one they actually captured the entire
flotilla.,
The Forgetful Parson.
Field Marshal* Sir Henry Wilson
tells an amusing story of an old west
country parson who had to hold two
Services, one in his own church and
one ,in the church over the moor.
On arriving at the latter church
he got into the pulpit and said he
was awful sorry, but he had forgot-
ten to bring a most admirable ser-
mon which he had written. ,
"Luckily," he continued, "as I
came across the moor, I remembered
a beautiful story, which 1 will tell
you in place of the sermon, Br-er-
