One of tho reasons why English Is expected to become a world wldo lan guage Is that English people rofuso to learn another. For Instance, at Mus cat at tho entrance to tho Persian suit, thero lived for many years an Englishman, supposed to ho tho only, or almost the only, British resident on tho 1,500 miles of Arabian coast lino from Aden to Koweit. It would seem that ho could hardly have escaped knowing Arabic. Yet ho confessed that ho could not speak a dozen words of that language. "But how do you carry on your trade?" Home one asked.

There Is a wonderful difference In this world between tho houso that Is pimply a place to Hvo in, with four walls and a roof, and the house which Is a roal homo. Tho difference is not so much In tho houso Itself as in the combined effect or union of tho houso with Its surroundings. Thoro aro cer tain styles of architecture that seom to blend" naturally with shrubs, vinos and flowers. With such a houso any work done along the lines of amatour landscape gardening soems worth while, for every nook and cor nor of tho yard, overy floworlng shrub and every trco throwing out Its wldo branches seoms to add to tho coxy, homo-like appearance of tho place. This is ono of the surest tests wo have of excellence In architectural design. Some houses never seem to bo at caso, or in accord with tho slto on which they aro built. Every ef fort to Improve and beautify tho grounds servos only to bring out tho more strongly tho plain awkwardness of tho house Itself, which is of neces sity tho very heart and center of tho wnoie pieturo. A wcli-uosigneu resi dence, on tho other hand, I care not whether It is a llttlo four-room cot- tago costing but a fow hundred dol lars or a splendid resldcnco costing many thousands, seems to harmonlzo and blond with Its natural surround ings. In this connection It may bo re marked that tho uso of cement plaster has done perhaps more to bring about this desired union between the houso and grounds than any othor building material. The sand, cement and grav el from which the plaster is made be ing from earth products seem natural ly to harmonize with lawns and shrub bery. What could bo more restful and Inviting than tho cool, silver gray, tho natural cement color, contrasting with tho green of a well-kept lawn and trance Is had directly Into tho largo, airy living room, 14 by 14-0, and hav ing in addition n very cozy fireplace nook at ono ond.

Meanwhile tho life-savers on shoro were having a Umo of groat nnxlety over tho amount of territory they must cover nnd tho difficulty in cover ing any at all. To mako headway up or down a heavy beach in a wind Is hard at all tlmos, but when tho shriek ing air carries most of tho bench with It, nnd tho sea breaks waist high over tho sand, It is almost Impossi ble. llasmus S. Mldgott, of tho Cull Shoal station, started on his patrol south, on horseback, at three in tho morning. Ho had to trust to his horse for direction, for tho darkness of tho night was impenetrable and tho fcoblo glow of his lantern would havo revealed nothing but tho violent wa ter through which his animnl strug gled, could ho havo kopt It lit. Hut as ho mado his slow progress enough light filtered through tho clouds to let him discover boxos nnd barrels and wrockngo coming ashore. Ho knew that meant a wreck somowhoro In tho neighborhood. Tho question "Whoro?" could bo solved only by pushing ahead. It was two miles farther on, nftor an hour and a half's strugglo on tho part of his horso, that ho finally e.'ucht tho sound of voices, borno in to him by tho wind. Ho could soo nothing of the wreck. A llttlo later he managed to make out tho outllno of tho half of tho hull and Baw soma black dots moving on It. A hundred yards from tho bank of sand on which ho stood, water-swept and insecure, tho ploro of a hull loom ed shadowy and indistinct. And llas mus Mldgett had to faco alouo ar op portunity and n question, such as aro Elvon to fow men to solvo. Should ho try to savo thoso black dots nlono, and run tho risk of losing his llfo and all clinnro that thoy might bo snved? Or Bhould ho return to tho station, call ou tho rest of tho crow and do what would then bo easy with Lylo gun nnd brccchos buoy oasy It tho wind would lot a shot carry? Tho final outcome it proof enough that It was no Bolllsh fear of his own llfo that causod him to hesltato rath er was It a nlco balancing of possibil ities U ho lost his own Ufa in trying to aid single-handed nnd alono, ha lost also all chanco of tho lifo crow's knowing of tho wpck In Umo. If ho returned to tho station to bring help, it must bo throo hours before an at tempt nt roBcuo could bo mado and would tho wreck last throe hours?

But Hasmus Mldgott was not a member of tho dull Shoal station ono of tho famous crows of a famous sorvlec for nothing. It took him but a fow minutes to realise that there was not ono hour of llfo, lot alone threo, loft in that swiftly dismantling hull. Even as ho lookod. twenty foot of It disappeared, and another cry of despair told him thoro was no time to wasto. One at a Time Through a Hurricane. Ho strippod half his clothes from him to ho untmpedod. Then, watch ing his chanco, ho followed a breaker to Us homo, shouting as ho ran. "Next tlmo ono man Jump! III tako care of you I" ho shrlllod his powerful volcn Into tho teoth of tho galo. "Ono man only one!" ho cautioned. Then ho turned and ran for It with aH his strength, for If tho breaker caught him it would bo tho ond of his chances nnd thoirs. Regaining tho wavo-swept beach and standing In tho breaking wator, ho waited for his op portunity. And on tho hools of a big ger broakor than tho rest, Mldgott ran down Into tho holl of wntor near tho vessel, keeping his foot by a mlr aclo, to catch and support tho hurt ling form of a nnkod man, his clothos long since taken by tho wind which plunked thorn strip by atrip from bis shlvorlng body.

Tho koopcr of the station would hardly bollevo his talo when Mldgott rode his horso back to tho station for holp. It did not seem believable. But there woro tho rescued to toll the amazing story ovor again, when, after a day and night of tender inirBlng at tho Btntlon, onco moro clothed, fed and warmed, thoy woro ablo to speak.

A fact of special Interest at this tlmo of year Is that somo of the com monest fruits contain starch Instead of sugar until thoy have fully ripened. Haw starch Is very indlgcstlblo, which oxplains tho frequent necessity for "green-apple medicine." Most conspicuous in rcBpect to their starch content aro bananas and ap ples. Ileports from tho National Bu reau of Chemistry show that Baldwin apples oxamlnod contained moro than 4 per cent of starch whllo green, less than one-quarter of 1 por cent, wkeu ripe, and nono at all when overripe The percentage of sugar, on the other hand, had increased moro than four times, showing that all tho starch had been converted into sugar during tho ripening process. Bnnanas snow simi lar chnnges as thoy ripen. These facts teach us that only thor oughly rlpo fruits are most suitable) for eating raw; that scarcely rlpeaasl applos and bananas, Hko gooseberries and currants, aro best adapted to cook lngj nnd that all porsons who cat raw fruits should chew them thoroughly on account of tho starch they are lia ble to contain.
