u,nerent Ways Of Putting Il.

This is a scientific way; If a man
falls asleep in the sitting posture with
his mouth open, his jaw drops the
tongue not being in contact with the
hard palate, the succotorial space is
obliterated; the soft palate no longer
adheres 10 the roof Of the tongue,
and If respiration be carried on
through the mouth the muscular cur

the popular form, IF a man doesn't
keep his mouth shut when asleep, he

Tho Invention OF Matches.

Previous to 1929 the matches In use con.
sisted Of o slender stick with pointed end,
which had been dipped in sulphur, and they
were lighted by touching them to spark
struck into tinder by flint and steel. In
that year, however, what was known as the
instantaneous light box" was invented.
1t consisted of small tin box containing a
bottle, in which was placed some sulphuric
acid with sufficient fibrous asbestus to soak
1t up and prevent its spilling out of the bot
tie and q supply Of properly prepared
matches. These consisted of small splints
Of wood about, 2 inches long, one end OF
which was coated with q chemical mixture
prepared by mixing ehlorate of potash,
powdered loaf sugar and powdered gum
arabic, the whole colored with little YER
million and made into thin paste with wa
ter. The splints were readily inAamed by
dipping the prepared ends into the sulphur
ic acid. These were succeeded by the luci-
fer or loco foco match, which was ignited
by friction, and that in turn by the Con-
greve, which was similar to the sulphur
matches now in use, and this shortly after
ward by the present parlor match.

lending Money 20 a stranger.

One morning Mr. Alcott was breakfastinR
in Boston, when the bell rang, and n stran.
ger sent in word that he wished to see him.
"Mr. Alcott," said the man when they
met, "you do not know men and will be
surprised to learn why have called upon
you. am in business here and am very
much In want of s., which 1 will repay as
coon as can. Will you lend 1t to me"
Here, thought Mr.. Alcott, was an oppor-
tunity Of testing his favorite theory Of hu-
man nature that all men may be trusted.
He took out his pocketbook instantly.
II have no So bill" said he, "but here is
$40. Take this"
The man looked surprised, but accepted
the money and went his way. His creditor
did not even take the trouble to ask his
name, and was for months ipcessantly raj
lied by his friends, who would inquire when
he expected to be repaid. More than six
months afterward, at the same hour OF the
day, the man appeared again, saying:
"Mr. Alcott, l haven't forgotten that you
lent me so when only wanted S6. have
called to pay you, and I wish you would
add the interest"
This the creditor declined to do, but re
ceived his principal and suffered his debtor
to 20 away again without asking his name.
Some weeks afterward he told the story in
o Boston counting house and learned on de-
scribing the appearance Of his visitor that
be was o notorious confidence man who, in
this. instance, had apparently found the
simple trust Of the philosopher too much
for even his professional villainy to with
stand youths Companion.

Fashion Notes.

A coarse make Of net, which looks
something like the Russian net of two OF
three seasons ago, is in vogue again for
trimming. You see it on mantles, and tea
gown lately made was draped with it. In
this case the net was white, SO the effect
was rather striking.
Though stripes Of lace insertion or foolish
little frillsare both fashionable adornments,
many perfectly plain skirts are being made
by first rate modistes. Fashion doesn't get
it all her own way, as she did once upon a
time.
It's wonder that alpaca doesn't become
fashionable for outdoor dresses. II women
knew what was good for them, they would
certainly wear it more than they do at pres
ent. There are few stuffs that hold less
dust

The Delicious Heliotrope.

For its delicious fragrance and choice
colors, the heliotrope has become one of the
most popular pot plants. Not only is the
heliotrope universal favorite for indoor
decoration. but it has become deservedly
popular as an outdoor decorator, as border
plant, or, when properly trained, specimen
plant. Potted in fibrous soil and given
plenty of water, with an occasional dose Of
liquid manure water, the heliotrope may
be made to bloom In the house the year
round AS the heliotrope is not an erect
grower, O better form and shape may be
given to the plant by tying it to trellis
and growing 1t to the required size. II q
bushy plant is desired, it, may be pinched
ip until the required shape is obtained. AS
the roots of the heliotrope grow close and
compact, IL will require generous supply
of water-in fact, it is best to saturate the
whole ball of soil thoroughly. A weak liq-
uid manure may be applied twice each week
as a stimulant, both for plant food and wa

IKE AOLlAN HARP.
An Interesting instruments which Pro
duces Curious Effects.

L An Interesting instruments which Pro-
duces Curious Enects.
The eolian harp is a musical instrument
l which is set in action by the wind. II Il not
| very well known, but Is very curious and
Is supposed to have been invented by Father
Kircher, the Jesuit savant who lived in the
| seventeenth century and invented many
| ingenious machines. But the fact Of the
| spontaneous resonance of certain musical
instruments when exposed TO a current of
air had struck the observer Of nature in
| times Of remotest antiquity. One Of the
| Talmuds says that the harp of David sound
| ed wheI, the north wind blew on IL, and it
| has been suggested that he had an molian.
as we understand It.
The a,olian harps in the old castle of
| Baden Baden, and those In the four turrets
| Of StrasbCrg cathedral are celebrated.
These arhall made of strings stretched over
| o sounding box and require tuning to keen
them in harmony. They are also large and
cumbrous and have limited number of
strings, which make the music more or
less monotonous, and they are dependent
on the wind from one direction only. The
changes Of temperature and da1npness of
the atmosphere make them constantly out
of tune and indeed often cause the st .ines
to break. These difficulties and drawbacks
nave ulJnerJo prevented the BOl1an harp
from being so well known and popular as
such an interesting and curious instru-
ment deserves to be, but the latest develop
ments tend to overcome these difficulties.
The principle of an @olian harp may be
familiarly shown on a large scale by the
action of telegraph wires stretched from
one pole to another. On windy day these
will be found to emit musical tones, rising
and falling in proportion to the strength Of
the wind and the tension Of the wires.
Hector Berlioz In his Voyage Musicale
en- Italie," has given the following curious
effects that an eolian harp produced upon
his lively and impassioned imagination:
ION one Of those gloomy days that sadden
the end of the year listen while reading
0ssian to the fantastic harmony Of an mo-
Ian harp swinging at the top of a tree de-
prived Of verdure, and defy you not to ex-
pereDce profound feeling of sadness and
OF abandon and vague and infinite desire
for another existence" Chateaubriand, In
lies Natchez," compares its sounds to
magic concerts that the celestial vaults
resound." An English physician-Dr. j. NJ.
Cox-asserts that lunatics have sometimes
been instantly calmed by the sweet and
varied music Of an @olian harp. Other
observers declare that @olian sounds will
produce sleep.

Literary Restrictions In Turkey.

In speaking Of the restrictions on i'm
ported literature in Turkey, the Rev. Dr..
Z. &. Clark says Some Of these objeo-
tions to current literature are silly and
puerile enough. A textbook on chemistry
was recently forbidden becaused it con-
tanned the familiar formula 'H2O,' which
was construed by the sapient censor TO
mean Hamid II (the reigning sultan) Is
nothing. A geographical textbook, which
naturally contained illusions to the union
of rivers was condemned because the sui
tan does not wish his people to know any
thing about union or combination, while a
treatise on natural history was forbidden
because In its chapter on starhshes it was
Supposed to contain some occult allusion to
the sultans palace, which IS named the
Star r-Chicago Tribune.

Where to Put the Pocket.

1t entirely depends on the cut of the skirt
where pocket can be placed, but certain
ly 1t is useless when 1t becomes q mere
Deighbor to the placket hole. Most Of the
gowns now, which come from Paris, are
little fuller in front, In which case the
pocket can be set In the second seam from
the front, or should there be but few seams
ID is certainly better to cut hole in the
material than endure the discomfort OF q
pocket In the wrong place. Some women
get over the difficulty by having reticule
made Of the same material as the gown,
slung from the waist by ribbon. These
reticules are of the sack shape and have a
wide heading above the drawing string.
