Women of Many Husbands.

1t is asserted that lady in Calhoun
county, Ill, although seventy years old,
has recently married her sixth husband.
Her last deceased husband was named
Race, and the man she has just married
is named Farris. A romantic feature of
her last matrimonial venture is the fact
that Mr.. Farris was her first love, but
cruel fate interviewed and prevented
their union. All her dead husbands are
buried in the family graveyard upon the
farm on which she resides, and her
present husband, as he counts the green
mounds, will have ample opportunity to
reflect on the uncertainty of married
life. OF another woman, living in Geor-
gia, it is related that she has had five
husbands. She married four widowers
in succession. The first widower lived
one and half miles from the lady, when
she was a widow; the second, third and
fourth lived about the same distance from
one another, so that she had in turn charge
of each of the residences, and she is
now living happily with her fifth hus-
band within seven miles of her original
home.

CURIOUS FACTS.

Celery seed will germinate when
twenty years old.
A snail's head may be cut off, and in
certain time another head will be
formed. At least, so says Spallanzania.
The elephant has been known to die
for grief when, in sudden fit of mad
ness, he has killed his keeper.
In one district in Japan seventy-one
Buddhist temples are reported to have
been diverted to secular uses since
1873, and more than 700 in the whole
empire since 1877.
Women never appeared upon the
stage among the ancients. Their parts
were represented by men until as late
as 1862, when Charles II. first encour-
aged their public appearance.
1t has been discovered by q micro
scopical examination that the crystalline
lens in the eye of Goldfish, which is
never half an inch in diameter, is made
up of more than five million fibers,
which are united by more than 62,000,-
600, 600 teeth.
A little girl at Davenport, nine years
of age, will without moments hesita-
ton spell backward any word of what
ever length, given to her in English,
more rapidly than the majority of chill
dren of her age would spell forward,
and invariably correct.
An old soldiers overcoat was sold at
auction in Pennsylvania the other day
for $3.50. 1t was worn in the war OF
1912 and during part of the first winter
of the rebellion, and is still in a good
state of preservation considering its
long and severe usage.
1t is well known that certain fowls fill
their digestive apparatus with gravel
and pebbles, which act as millstones in
grinding up their food. Recent investi-
cation showed that other animals are
addicted to similar habits on larger
scale. Seals swallow stones weighing
from one to two and sometimes even
three pounds each, while one investiga-
tor found. not long since, ten pounds OF
these boulders in the stomach of sea-
lion.

Strong contrasts of color are observ-
able in most of the new satin costumes.
Some of the new polonaises are made
with full, panier-like draperies over the
hips.
The favorite designs for steel lace are
similar to those for point and Torchon
lace.
The real novelty in ribbons is the
double-woven ribbon without selvage or
seam.
Steel is used to trim rather simple
jackets as well as those of rich ma
terial.
Steel is much used in decorating
laces, passementeries, guages and trim
mings.
Normandy bonnets OF the most prim-
tive shape are among the summer mil
hnery.
Velvet collars, cuffs, bow for the
waist and bands for the hair now come
in sets
Lace and founces alternate with
muslin plaitings on the summer
dresses.
Shirred effects in skirt draperies
appear on the most fashionable imported
dresses.
Ombre satins de Lyon grow moro and
more popular for both dresses and
bonnets.
Gingham and monte cloth parasols
to match suits, will be much used this
summer.
The shining on the front and sides of
skirts is to be in horizontal rows half an
inch apart.
A dash of yellow, blue or red is
deemed essential to the finish of all
dark toilets.
Fine velveteen is combined with the
black and white checked silks used for
summer costumes.
Little soft loose rings of hair falling
over the forehead are taking the place
of the long-favored bangs.
High neck ruches of black lace and
white lace plated together are very
fashionable and exceedingly becoming.
A novelty in English straw bonnets is
in poke or coal-scuttle shape, with q
hrim in caleche style, formed by turned
up braids of the straw.
Some of the black open straws in
bonnets are so fine that they look like
thread lace. Other designs are in imi
tation of Torchon lace.
Albatross cloth robes in full shades Of
color, cream and pure white, are taste
fully embroidered in Oriental colors anG
designs with floss silks.
A new sort of trimming is made by
shirring satin, doubling the materia
where the thread is run so as TO produc,
the effect of alternate tucks and puffs.
The favorite shape for tea gowns o
ceremony is the loose dolman, visite
like sack with elbow sleeves, wor
over richly-trimmed demi-trainet
skirt.
The gowns are made of the mos
costly brocades and gauzes enriched
with silver, gold and steel threads, ant
trimmed with laces, fringes and tassel
to match

Japanese Children.

The japanese children have to endure
hardships from their birth. In their
tiny houses are no bright, cheerful fires,
no easy chairs, no Widespread tables,
around which the family gather and hold
sweet converse. You must stoop to
enter the ordinary houses, and their
rooms are not much larger than closets.
A part of the floor is covered with mats,
on which they sit and sleep. A block
of wood four inches high, followed
little at the top, answers as pillow.
Sometimes it has stutfing on top an inch
thick, over which clean piece of paper
is spread each time it is used, to save
any needful washing, The head poised
on this pillow prevents the disaTange.
ment of the hair, so that it need not be
combed more than once OF twice in Il
week. But the poor babies, and little
children's heads are shaved entirely, or
have from one to five tufts of hair left
on the top over each ear, and on the
| back. / have seen little babies with
heads entirely shaven and uncovered on
| the coolest day, while the mother or
person on whose back it was carried, had
the face and head covered, only the
eyes and nose visible. DIR. Hepburn says,
"only very strong babies survive their
infancy"
Japanese houses have only paper
windows; they have no stoves or CRATES,
but a little box, from one to two feet
square, with some Goals in the center, is
all they have for warmth or cooking.
Two or three cups, as many plates, a tea
pot, kettle and some boxes to hold
their clothing, complete their furniture.
All the houses 1 have seen are very
clean, which is their only appearance of
comfort.
Little children are often made to
take care of the baby. A very common
sight is little boy or girl, from five to
twelve years old, playing with a kite,
with baby strapped on their backs, fast
asleep, but sometimes crying, In the
latter case, they only say "Be quiet"
and go on with their play. But
japanese children seldom cry or quarrel,
and are very obedient to parents and
teachers, whom they venerate.-lEission-
arg Link.

NIInMinhing.N ~

The thieves who infest the lower part
of the Bowery at night have q word
which, if it is not new to them in the
sense in which they are using it, is new
in that significance to most readers. 1t
is not uncommon for a stranger who
strays into the Bowery late at night
considerably intoxicated to find himself
in the morning " unwound." He would
not be likely to thus describe himself,
but to the thieves the word defines the
process through which he has passed.
While making his uncertain way along
that thoroughfare the stranger has been
caught by the arms and led into one of
the many dens which keep open doors
all night. His coat and vest are unbut-
toned, grasped by their fronts and
wound off from him with a single mo-
ton while he stood just inside the
threshold. The muscles of his arms,
being incapable of that rigidity which
sober man might impart to them,
offered no obstacle to the process of un-
winding. After the rotation thus inn
parted to the stranger had ceased he
found himself standing ON the sidewalk
with only vague idea of the direction
whence he came. The thieves were
richer by the value of the coat, vest,
perhaps the watch, and maybe a guam
tity of loose change in the vest pockets.
Those who profit by unwinding do not
scorn such trifies even as pocket hand
kerchiefs and odd nickels. -Harpe,'s
Weekly.
