A Mythtery,

One day the Gods were making men,
and after they had turned out seven or
eight good healthy, active fellows, Jupi-
ter, who was bossing the job, turned to
the crowd and said
"We've run out Of brains, and can't
make any more men to-day, I've got a
little piece left here, but 1t isn't big
enough to make a man." 1t
was an inconceivably small object that
the god showed them - perhaps
as large as plnhead, or the
hind leg Of jersey mosquito.
"well," he said, "what shall | do with
itP" and he held up little piece of
brain.
"Guess you'll have TO make dude OF
it," observed one of the gods, carelessly.
"lt's not big enough for horse, and too
big for a mule, so you can't make much
out of it,"
Gan right" sighed Jupiter, "a dude il
is. But it's pity to waste so much
brains where 1t won't do any good any

How oamphor is Made.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After tree 10 felled TO the earth
it is cut up into chips. which are laid in
tub on large iron pot partially filed
with water and placed over q
slow fire. Through hsles in the
bottom Of the tub steam slowly
rises, and heating the chips gener-
ates oil and camphor. OF course the tub
with the chips has a closely fitting cover.
From the cover bamboo pipe leads TO
. succession of other tubes with bam-
boo connections, and the last Of these
tubs in divided into two compartments,
one above the other, the dividing floor
being perforated with small holes to allow
the water and oil to pass TO the lower
compartment. The upper compartment
Il supplied with . straw layer which
catches and holds the camphor in crystal
in deposit ss IL passes 10 the cooling
process. The esmphor Is then separat.
ed from the stssF, packed in wooden
tubs, and Is then rely for the market.

was the abode Of Republican simplicity
and comfort. As we drove up the broad
avenue, our eyes were greeted with the
commanding presence of our host, who
stood in the wide, open door to receive
US. His courteous reception Of our little
party was perfect. After cordial
welcome and few words Of kindly in
quiry, we were shown to ourrooms, which
were furnished with every comfort,
cool, airy and tasteful, the snowy linen
perfumed with lavender. Through the
open window, screened by thick foliage,
glimpses of the country appeared in
varied beauty; wood and plain, alter
mating with broad acres Of golden wheat
and blossoming clover.
There was q wonderful charm in the
household arrangements. Perfect in
order, free from ostsntation, all the sur
roundings bore the impression Of the re.
finement and wealth Of the illustrious o.
cupant. His beautiful and accomplished
niece, whom had known In her girlhood
