Different Methods OF Following the In.
junction "Love One Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each others
Women do. Not long ago young woman
in New Jersey was married to q Youthful
aborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward it was discovered that the hus-
band was female; the young wife refused
however. though earnestly entreated by her
friends, to give up her chosen consort. The
strangest part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was a
::oman before she was led to the altar
If men do not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the fact that
they love one another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.

Threshing In Syria.

On the outskirts of each village is q
level space of ground Of sufficient size to
answer the requirements of the village
which is known by the name of the ba-
yader, or threshing floor Each farmer
and peasant has his own particular por-
ton marked off by row of stones, and
this portion is religiously handed down
from father to son and jealousy guarded
from encroachment Hither the various
crops are borne on the backs of camels
or donkeys as soon as they are Ieaped in
the fields, and they are there piled up
into separate sacks to be threshed out in
turns.
The threshing is a long and tedious
process, occupying several months. 1t
commences about the beginning of June
and often is not completed till the end
of September or even in some cases till
the middle of October. During all this
time the threshing floor presents lively,
busy and most picturesque scene. The
process is very primitive one, being
identical with that which was in vogue
in the times of Old Testament history.

Egyptian monuments show that the

A Husbands Trick.

The devices that men employ to fool

paper man hit on new one not long

been adopted with enough frequency to
have become popular. This man has "A
clock in his house that strikes II" at the
half hour. and when he has night off
he gauges himself to get home few
minutes before some half hour. If it is
4 o'clock he waits until about APO, and
then he goes busting in, making noise
enough to wake up the dead. The sleepy
wife throws the covers off her head and
says: "'Oh! is that you? What time is
it, The husband replies carelessly:
Time: Nearly l, guess; don't know
exactly, my dear" By this time the
clock strikes u" and the wife is salts
fed. Long before the hour of 5 is reach

were placed upon fiat car and the train

cyclone soon got tired of his close quar-

speed of thirty miles an hour, kicked
the box into cooked hat and made a leap

What fact more commonplace to our
mind than the Photographic process of
portrait taking. Many of us remember
the original form of these sun pictures
the daguerreotype, specimens of which,
once in awhile. we draw forth from some
UNEMPLOYED drawer, carrying us back to
the forgotten days of childhood. 1t was
no further off than 1898 that Madame
Daguerre, the wife of the inventor of the
process. had an earnest consultation with
one of the medical celebrities of the day
concerning her husbands mental condi-
ton. After acquainting the physician
with the many indications of Daguerre's
mental alteration, she added, with tears
in her eyes. that the concluding proof of
his insanity was his absolute conviction
that he would succeed in mailing his own
shadow to the wall or i'll fixing it on
magical metallic plates,
The physician listened with profound
attention to this eliminating evidence
of mental arrangement, answering that
ne, himself, had observed in Daguerre
strong symptoms of madness. He closed
the consultation by advising that her
husband should be sent quietly and with
out delay to the well known lunatic asy-
lynn, Bicetre Two months later the
world of art and science was stirred to
its center by the exhibition of number
of pictures actually taken by the new
process. Arago, in January, 1899, laid
an account of the process before the
Academic DIES Sciences, and soon the
"lunatic" was heralded as the father of

HOW TO DRESS CHILDREN.
The Material should he Fine, Although
the Style May BE Very Plain.

The Material should he Fine, Although
the Style May BE Very Plain.
The maternal pride that prompts all
mothers to dress their children as well
as possible under adverse circumstances
also induces them to spend many an
hour over their clothes without begrudg-
ing either the labor or time. Fortunately,
the most appropriately dressed girls are
the plainest clothed; but, by being plain
in style, it does not follow that the little
frock is not to be of a dainty material,
tastefully made and in becoming man
ner. Do not put too somber a colo1
upon sad faced child: neither have all
around sashes on a stout little figure,
which requires tapering effects.
A little thought will soon settle this
part of the task, which is the simplest.

dress. Sew the gathered skirt, which is
amply full and hemmed, to a silesia I'M
derwaist, and have a sailor blouse, with
the regular sailor collar and coat or shirt
sleeves, with round neck or tiny band
as preferred. Misses wear the blouse
suits made in similar style, and their
half worn skirts may be entirely worn

in this fashion, or az belted waists of

Nainsook for gimps may be had

can be used. Separate gimps are ad-
vocated, as they are easier to wash.
White frocks are of plain nainsook or
