A PRETTY GIRLS MISTAKE.
The Victim Did Not Appear to Mind 1t In
the Least.

the Least.
She was little and dainty and trim,
with brown eyes and hair, rosy cheeks
and a neat little brown dress that exact
ly matched as well as fitted her. And as
she sat on the wicker scat of car in an
Illinois suburban train and looked up at
her big, handsome lover, who sat beside
her. it was evident that she was just as
proud of him as he was of her. 1t was
quarter to eight o'clock in the even
ing and the south town crowd was just
reaching the city for the theaters.
When the train reached the Randolph
street station, says the Chicago Times,
they in common with the rest of the
crowd rose to leave tho train.
Just rs they reached the car door he
spoke to her as she was leading the
way and turned back to their seat for
forgotten opera glass. She did not
hear him and went calmly on, out to
the platform and down the car steps to
the ground.
Once more on firm footing she glanced
behind her, slipped her little hand with
in the arm of another stalwart young
man who was at that instant beside her
and snuggled up to him for protection
from the cold wind that swept around
the corner of the waiting room. He
looked down with surprise but did not
resist, and they had taken half dozen
steps across the platform when she
looked up to wonder at his silence.
Then she saw the strange face.
A little Shrek, and then the embar-
rassed; "Oh! pardon-excuse mel" and
she fed back to the right man. who was
even then coming out of the car, and
had watched the scene with amazement.
The commuters smiled and wondered
what she would do or say Us reward
to her lover for his surprise, and proof
that it was all, every bit, mistake.
But he laughed n hearty laugh, and she
hlushed very rosiiy, SO no one doubted
that it would be all right.

DUST AT SEA.

The Peculiar Phenomena Noticed on
Board q British Vessel.
The British ship Bcrean, which re-
Gently made the voyage from Tasmania
around Cape Horn to England, cncount-
cred remarkable but not unusual phc-
nomenon at sea, viz, u storm of dust.
After crossing the equator, says School
ut Home. she fell into the northeast
trade winds, and when about six hun
dred miles west of the Cape dc Verde
Islands, the nearest land, "the Bcrcan's
sails and rigging were thinly coated
with very fine powder dust of dark
yellow or saffron color, scarcely dis
ccrniblc on or near the deck, but pro-
fuse on tie highest parts of the rig
ging," so that the sails appeared
tanned"
Fine dust falling on vessels in the At
lantic near the Cape de Verde archipel-
ago has often been reported, but it has
20 often been of a reddish hue that it is
known among sailors as red fog" and
has been generally supposed to come
from South America The observation
On board the Derean appears to over
throw this conclusion, and to deter
mine the African origin both of the At
lantic dust and the so-called "blood
rains" of southern Europe
Admiral Smyth many years ago re-
ported, during his stay in Sicily, on the
l4th of March, 1914. ''blood rain,'
which fell Sin large, muddy drops, and
deposited very minute sand of yell
low-red color"-quite similar to that
now reported by the Derean. lie then
regarded it as "sirocco DUST from the
African desert, "crowning the beauti-
full theory Of atmospheric circulation. .
Both on the Atlantic ocean and in Eu-
rope these rains of dust have almost in
variably fallen between January and
April--a period Of the year in which the
Sahara is most arid.

RABIES IN THE DOG DAYS.

Physician Says 1t Is No More Preva-
lent Then Than at Other Times.
In view of the fact that an unusual
number of cases of dogs suffering or
supposed to be suffering from rabies
have recently been reported, New
York World reporter called on DIR. Paul
Gibier, of the Pasteur institute, to see
what light he could throw on the sub
ject. When asked if he could account
for SO many cases of hydrophobia SO
early in the season the doctor said:
"You refer, suppose, to the popular
belief that hydrophobia becomes more
common during the so-called dog days.
We'll, like most popular ideas, it has alb
solutely no foundation in fact. That
portion of the year known as dog days
derived its name from ancient times,
from the fact that at that season the
dog STAR or Sirius, rose with the SUM-
1t has no possible connection with hy-
drophobia."
'Do you not believe that in great
many cases dogs are killed that are be-
lieved to be mad that really have no
symptoms of rabias2"
"Many times" replied the doctor
"But also believe that there are many
cases of dogs being mad who go quietly
off and die in corner without anyone
ever having had the slightest suspicion
of the fact. In many cases it takes
some outside influence to goad the ami
NAL to that state of fury when it at
tacks other animals or persons, But
dogs are not the only animals that suf-
fer from hydrophobia At one time
treated six children, all Of whom had
been bitten by the same cat. To-day
discharged On old man who was bitten
by q horse"

FOREIGN PAPER MONEY.
Bank Note Currency of Various Countrt'
In the Old and New Worlds.

Bank Note Currency of Various Countries
In the Old and New Worlds.
The bank of England note is five
inches by eight in dimensions, and is
printed in black ink on Irish linen
water-lined paper, plain white with
ragged edges. The notes Of the banquc
dc Franco are made of white, water
lined paper, printed in blue and black,
with numerous NEUROLOGICAL and ale
gorical pictures, and running in denom-
ination from the twenty-five franc note
to the one thousand franc. South Amer
lean currency, in most countries, is
about the size and general appearance
of American bills, except that cinna-
mon brown and slate blue arc the pre-
vailing colors, and that Spanish and
Portuguese are the prevailing Ian
guage engraved on the face. The Ger
man currency is rather artistic, accord
ing to Golden Days. The bills arc
printed in green and black They run
in denominations of from five to one
thousand marks. Their later bills arc
printed on silk fiber paper.
The Chinese paper currency is in red,
white and yellow, with gilt lettering
and gorgeous little hand-drawn devices.
The bills, to the ordinary fnancier,
might pass for washing bills, but they
are worth good money in the fiowery
| kingdom. Italian notes are of all sizes
| shapes and colors. Tho smaller bills
i've and ten Tyre notcs-are printed on
white paper in pink, blue and carminC
inks, and ornamcntcd with finely en-
graved vignette of King lIumbert. The
| one hundred ruble note of Russia i:
barred from top to bottom with all the
colors of the rainbow, blended as wher
shown through prism. In the center
in bold relief, stands q large, finely-cX
ecutcd vignette of Empress Catherine
/. This is in black. The other engrav
ing is not at all intricate or elaborate
but is well done in dark and ligh'
brown and black inks. The Australia
bill is printed on light-colored thicl
Dapcr, which shows none of the sill
iber marks or geometrical lines used il
lmcrican currency as a protection
against counterfciting.

FACIAL EXPRESSION.
More Potent and Direct Than Speech-It
Is the Shorthand Of Talk.

More Potent and Direct Than Speech 1T
Is the Shorthand Of Talk.
Now, II the average actor has fixed
principle, it is that there is but one eff
fective method Of expressing himself
and that is by tongue or speech. This
is his end-ar and be-all. Should he
wish to be angry or excited, he raises
his voice; to be hateful or jealous, he
lowers it; and SO on. But there is a
means of expression far more potent,
far more swift, direct and instantaneou
and which in flash would express what
it would take minutes to utter-the
face.
Facial expression is wonderful for all
it conveys, and for the immense force
with which it conveys it, writes Percy
Fitzgerald. We have only to think of
its multiplied resources-the power of
the eye and the eyebrows, the mouth,
the nostrils. In foreign theaters facial
expression Is a regular part OF. stage
education, and there is q regular sys-
tenn.
1t is 80 delicate an instrument that it
conveys the expression in advance as it
were. In real life we all speak with
our faces, and read each others faces in
anticipation. In conversation half of
the work is done by the face; we read
each others faces; we anticipate the
coming utterance. 1t is, in fact, the
shorthand OF talk,
1t should be borne in mind that facial
expression Is tho expression OF things
that cannot be spokep-it is now Ian
guage. where language fails The con
teptiou Of great passions can be eff
cicntly expressed only by the face; you
may, OF course, describe them in words
but that does not exhibit them.

SOME SLEEPY MEN.
One Died at the End OF T34 Days, During
Which He Never Awoke.

Which He Never Awoke.
In February, 1882, Anthony Kram, q
Bavarian, was sent from one of the out
lying wards of buffalo, N. Y, to the
city almshouse. Anthony said that he
was not i'll In any way in particular,
neither was he well. He had the pc
culiar notion that his neck was made
of glass, and for that reason he was
afraid to move his head, fearing that
the result might be disastrous.
When the superintendent had listened
to Kram's ingenious explanation of his
evident poverty, and also noting that
the man was very meek and humble in
his demeanor, he entered him on the
books as Anthony Kram; Bavarian,
pious crank; cause due to religious ex-
citement; some symptoms of marco
lepsy."
The last entry. which is the scientific
name for the so-cailed '.sleepy disease"
was evidently correct, the men who
brought him TO the almshouse having
awakened him from sleep which the
neighbors affirmed had lasted twenty
days without intermission, says the
Philadelphia Press.
| He was given bath, change OF
clothes and furnished with a supper,
| which consisted of the regular fare of
the institution. He went to sleep ap-
parently elated over his change of
quarters, but never awolse to the appre-
citation of his new-found benefactions.
This was, as already noted, in February,
1882.
From that time until February, 1884,
two years almost exactly to a day, he
slept the sleep of the just, never rous-
ing in the slightest. degree, even when
dosed with milk and soup, which were
fed him regularly three times q day
Death, which occurred on the seven
hundred and thirty-fourth day, the ply
sicians said, was due to exhaustion
superinduced by narcolepsy.
'Sleepy" Harnes, the Utica (Minn.,
sleeping wonder" has slept almost
continually since 1877, nearly fourteen
years. At one time, between the begin
ming of 1880 and the ending of 1884
he slept continuously for forty-eight
months, never arousing enough to utter
an intelligible word for three years anC
light months His real name is Her
man lIarnes. He is German, and al
last accounts was sleeping on an aver
age of ten months in each year.

MARRIAGE AND COMMON SENSE.
Male Fools Rush Iato Harness Frequently
MILITANT Sarians Consideration.

Male Fools Rush I1to Harness frequently
without Serious Considerations.
The wise man OF theories does not
marry, and he manages his wife only
on paper. The man who marries must
be still wiser. In the first place, have
it clear in your mind what you marry
woman for. A man is too apt to
marry a woman for the charm of
something that is going to be imprac-
ticable as wife and then to fret be-
cause she doesn't change around and
develop the charm he wants in the wife
All that, according to a writer IN the
Omaha Bee, is fool idiocy. Remember
the woman does not change entirely
when she becomes a wife, and you
must look to her for companionship
along the lines for which you chose her,
and not expect that because she pleased
you in one way rs O woman she is
going to please you, or to even want to
please you, in every other way as a
wife. Men seldom pick out domestic,
gentle, quiet little creatures for wives.
Yet once they arc married they realize
that the domestic, gentle, quiet little

because their fascinating coquette, their
stunning horsewoman, their brilliant
woman OF ideas, their dear little in
consequent baby woman, does not at
once develop the home traits of the
ideal wife. You have got to keep up
the atmosphere she needs. The average
wife, so have observed, tries hard to
adapt herself to the new requirements
that the man she marries makes us a
husband, but you must help her. She
is not going to plan pretty rigs and
make point of looking sweet if you
don't say something about it. All the
Aittlc, caressing, pretty, fetching tricks
she used to have are going to drop off
il you don't encourage them. If you
are going to kick about the biscuit in
stead of being interested in your wifea
book or picture or play your clever
wife is going to be pretty miserable and
quite ut sea. Besides, think what q
disappointment you are to her, prob
ably, and be humble ia your mind.
