A Modern Solomon.

A famous Chicago lawyer once had a
singular case to settle. A physician came
to him in great distress. Two sisters,
living in the same house, had babies OF
equal age, who SO resembled each other
that their own mothers were unable to
distinguish them when they were to-
gether. Now it happened that by the
carelessness of the nurses the children
had become mixed, and how were the
mothers to make sure that they received
back their own infants? But, perhaps, y
said the lawyer, 1.-THE children weren't
changed at ALL" "Oh, but there's nc
doubt they were changed" said the ply
stefan. Are you sure of it?" Per
fectly." "Well, if that's the case why
don't you change them back again?
don't see any difficulty in the CASE

Ten minutes after Teddy is up he is

Il never saw such funny writing as

girl, as she held an envelope up for the
inspection of her married friend.
1T is rather illegibIe," was the reply.
80, | don't mean that" was the quick
response. He puts such funny marks
IN it. You know he's only written me
three or four letters since we've been en-
gagged, because he's been in the CITY all
the time, but when he does write one it
looks so funny.

sand then he makes character and
like this-'&'-and puts a ring around
them. And at the end of all his sentences
lie puts a cross like this-'x.' Then
when he makes figure he puts ring
around it, and always draws two lines
under his signature. And sometimes he
draws line down through capital letters
and once he crossed word out and Their
drew ring around it and marked il
'stet.' It's awfully funny L cam

Comfort for CorDses.

Among the inventions that commend
themselves to public notice during the
last fifty years are those relating to cof-
fins, graves and burials. One of these is
intended to furnish the tenant of a grave
who has been buried prematurely with a
means of escape or arousing the neigh.
borhood. This invention is simple af-
fair, being merely an open tube provided
with a rope ladder and bell and cord.
Should the occupant of the coffin awake
from the trance he could climb the lad
der and make his way back to the world,
or pull the bell and alarm the township.
For those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undisturbed
a considerable inventor has provided a
torpedo grave, )" which, if disturbed, ex-
plodes at once and scatters the vandals
to the winds.-Chicago Times.

The Tea Houses of Janan.

Mousmees, rickshaws and tea houses
are the three institutions one associates
with Japan. Kipling has made the rick.
shaws hardly more Of phantom than
the three-horse car, while Sir Edwin Ar
mold and Pierre Lott have pictured the
gentle mousmee with such exquisite
finish that people ignorant of the mean
ing of the word few months back are
In love with her quaint beauty and raw
ishing smiles.
lea houses are simply inns or restau-
rants where the principal refreshment
(often the only one) is tea. In the cities
they are the favorite evening resorts, for
there you can hire the gaudy Geisha
girls to dance and sing or play the samo-
sin and koto between the intervals of
love making. She is mistress of this
art. Nara, one of the most beautiful
places in Japan, has no other accommoda-
ton, and notice must be sent the day be
fore to tell the owner how many guests
he is to accommodate.
Rickshaws laden with supplies start a
few hours ahead, the coolies who draw
them acting as cooks and house servants
during your stay. Slowed in these use
full vehicles is all you require-food and
the utensils for cooking and eating it.
The teahouse supplies nothing but chop
sticks, fresh eggs and rice. The little
teahouse at Nara was like white parch-
ment box with wooden corners, and
stood in the shade of crystomoria
grove. In the heat of the day the parch-
ment walls disappear mysteriously into
the wooden corners; then the entire
house looks like platform, with high
wooden corner posts, raised few feet
frsm the ground, covered with dazzling
white matting.-Once Week.

WIN women shoald Help Govern.

The eternal and ineradicable distinc.
ton of sex is one principal reason why
women in representative government
should be directly represented If law
vers alone cannot safely be trusted to
make laws for mechanics, if merchants
alone cannot legislate for farmers, if
every well defined class in society is en-
titled to its own authoritative expression
through the ballot, surely women who
are the wives and sisters and mothers OF
men should give expression to the DO
nestle interests from the feminine point
~ view. If a blacksmith cannot fairly
renresent a physician, how much less can
a man represent woman'-hehry D.

Head Lettuce.

Press Bulletin No l: Fourteen varie-
ties of lettuce have been tested in the
garden of the experimental station at the
state agricultural college of South Da-
kota this season, and of these, two varie-
ties seem to be worthy of special men,
ton. The lettuce may be roughly
classed into two groups, the entire
leaved and the curled leaved. OF the
fourteen sorts tested, five were curled
leaved. The best heads were produced
uniformly by the entire leaved varieties.
or these California Gardeners was the
earliest heading, seeds planted April 1s
making fine heads by the 18th OF June.
The variety has not yet begun to send
up it's flower stalks June 3O.) It is od
fine quality, and can be recommended as
an excellent sort for home use or market.
Champion Spring and Summer, also
entire leaved, makes larger heads than
the Gardeners and is later, the heads
coming on the last of June. 1t is one of
best market lettuces, large, crisp and of
good favor. New Salamander is at its
best midway between the others.
OF the curled leaved sorts Early Prize
Head and Hanson are large and fine, but
the heads are not 80 compact and the
inner leaves are not so we'll blanched as
in the entire leaved varieties. Green
Fringed is beautiful variety for gar
nishing.
For home and market use, the best
head lettuce would seem to be California
Gardeners and Champion Spring and
Summer. The heads OF these varieties
are quite firm, perfectly developed. and
the latter kind is as large as an early
York cabbage.
Head lettuces are superior to cutting
lettuce because the inner leaves, which
are the only ones that should be used,
are blanched to creamy white, and are
more crisp and Of more delicate flavor.
For early use the head lettuce can be
cut the same az any other kind.
For purposes OF comparison. the seed
lot all varieties was sown April is in
drills side by side in rich garden soil.
All sorts were treated exactly alike in
cultivation and thinning.
