Reviewing Her Conduct.

When a quite youthful and much

from home without her mother, she
is sometimes unmanageable, and al
ways ON her return is interviewed as

a recent occasion, after a round of
visits she had made with a certain
doting and indulgent relative, Ruth
was asked the customary question as
to whether she had been a good girl.

A Royal Accomplish.

One day when Francis l was in
his chapel attending mass with sew
eral of his noblemen, a well dressed
pickpocket went and stood behind
the cardinal of Lorraine and alb
stracted his purse, but unable to do
this without the king perceiving it
he put up his finger to intimate that
the latter should keep silence. The
king took it for a practical joke and
said never a word. But after the
service he asked the cardinal what
he had done with his purse. The
prelate not being able to find it was
very much annoyed and took the
king to task, who greatly enjoyed
the fun, and at length ordered the
purse to be restored to the cardinal.
The thief did not, however, come
forward, and the king discovered too
late that he had been tricked.-our-

THE SUMS HEAT.
Helmholtz's Theory of How Its Loss y
Radiation Is Repaired

mho Theory of How Its Loss BY
Radiation Is Repaired
Those who have paid attention to
this subject are aware that the re-
markable doctrine first propounded
by Helmholtz removed all real doubt
from the matter. 1t is to this emf
nent philosopher we W an expla-
nation of what at first seemed to be a
paradox. He explained how, not
withstanding that the sun radiates
its heat so profusely, no indications
of the inevitable decline of heat can
be as yet discovered.
If the sun had been made of solid
coal from center to surface, and II
that coal had been burned for the
purpose of sustaining the radiation,
it can be demonstrated that a few
thousand years of solar expenditure
at the present rate would suffice to
exhaust all the heat which the COM
bustion of that great sphere of fuel
could generate. We know, how
ever, that the u has been radiat-
ing heat not alone for thousands of
years, but for millions of years.
The existence of fossil plants and an
imals would alone suffice to demon,
strate this fact.
We have thus to account for the
extremely remarkable circumstance
that our great luminary has radiated
forth already a thousand times as
much heat as could be generated by
the combustion of a sphere of coal as
big as the sun is at present, and yet,
notwithstanding this expenditure in
the past, physics declare that for
millions of years to come the sun
may continue to dispense light and
heat to its attendant worlds with the
same abundant prodigality. Tohave
shown how the apparent paradox
could be removed is one of the most
notable achievements of the great
German philosopher.
What HelmholtZ did was to refer
to the obvious fact that the eXpendi
ture of heat by radiation must neces
sarily lead to shrinkage of the solar
volume. This shrinkage has the eff
feet of abstracting from a store o.
potential energy in the sun anC
Transforming what it takes into the
active form of heat. The transfer
nation advances pari passu with the
radiation, so that the loss of hea'
arising from the radiation is restored
by the newly produced heat derived
from the latent reservoir.
Such is an outline of the o ia
nous doctrine universally accepted
among physicists. 1t fulfills the con
ditions of the problem, and whe1
treated by arithmetical calculation i
is not found wanting.-Sir Rober
Ball in Fortnightly Review.

Tact and Vanity.

Alady, being asked why plain girls
often get married sooner than hand
some ones, replied that it was low
ing mainly to the tact of the plain
girls and the vanity and want of
tact on the part of men" How do
you make that outg" asked a gentle
man. In this way" answered the
lady. The plain girls fiatter the men,
and so please their vanity, while the
handsome ones wait to be 1attered
by the men, who haven't the tact to
do it."-New York Ledger.

WHY THE DOLLS RAN AWAY.

Twas in an artists studio,
Where many n quaint old curio
Adorned the gold and crimson walls,
There hung two little Chinese dolls
For want of better things to do,
One evening when his work was through.
The artist named the one All See.
The other Mistress Nina Lee.
With either little bright gowned elf
He often would amuse himself.
Or in the hope OF killing time.
BY quoting to them bits of rhyme.
He ran through all the modern lays.
The poets of our modern days,
But really what 10 them was worse
Began TO quote them di'lect verse.
Next morning-one would scarce suppose.
The story sounds SO much like prose-
The two gay Chinese dolls had fled:
A perfumed note was left instead.

"'Twas really more than we could stand,
So Mistress Lee IA young All See
Have run away to fair Chinee."

Mississippi House Boats,

The households, it appears, are a
survival of one among many kinds of
boats which were very much more
numerous upon the great river before
the era of steam navigation than steam
boats are now. Among the earlier
forms of boats were the famous ''Ken-
lucky fats" or "broad-horns, and
family boats of this pattern were an
early modification Of their general
plan, which was that of strong
hulled ark, long and narrow and
covered with curving roof. / have
read ''that family boats of this de-
scription, fitted up for the descent of
families to the lower country, were
provided with stove, comfortable
apartment, beds and arrangements for
commodious habitancy, and in them
ladies, servants, cattle, sheep, dogs
and poultry, all floating on the same
bottom and on the roof the looms,
ploughs, spinning-wheels and domestic
implements of the family, were car
ried down the river" Fulton's Cler-
mont, which proved its usefulness as
the first practicable adoption of steam
power to water travel in 1907, must
have been quickly copied on the Mis-
sissippi, for in one list of notable
passages up that river 1 have seen a
note of trip by steamboat in 1914.
But long after that the barges, skiffs,
horseboats, broad-horns and family
boats must have remained very num-
erous They hoated down stream with
the current, and were pulled up again
by means of wheels worked by hors es
or cattle and by the toilsome and slow
processes known as warping and bush
whacking. A boat which was warpe d
up the river kept two rowboats ahead
of her carrying hawsers, which were
made fast to the trees on the shore
and then pulled in as the bigger ves-
sells were thus hauled along. When
the length of one cable had been pulled
in the other boat had fastened the
other cable far ahead, and so the ves-
sci ''inched" along against the five
mile current of the stream a little more
quickly than house moves when its
owner has decided to move it down
country road to distant cellar he has
dug for it. 1t took day to go six or
eight miles by that method. Smaller
boats were propelled against the cur
rent by rowing, sailing OF polling them
along; and when the water was high
and overflowed the banks they bush
whacked up stream-that Is, they
pulled the vessel along by hauling on
the bushes that brushed the sides of
the craft. -Harper's Magazine.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS,
HOW TO WASH FLANNELs.

Flannels should always be washed
by themselves in suds prepared for
them; on no account be rubbed on
the board, unless very dirty. The
suds should be pleasantly warm to the
hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while the fannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera-
ture as the washing suds, and as many
waters used as may be necessary to
take all the soap out, as the fannels
will never be soft with the soap left
in them. They should never be blued.
They should be pulled in shape before
hanging, undershirts being hung from
the shoulders. They should never be
hung out of doors in freezing weather,
but quickly dried before the fire, or,
better, over the register, and pressed
as soon as dry enough. New York
Advertiser.

What Makes People Red-Faced.

The stimulus of the suns direct rays
and that arising from the friction of
the fresh air causes increased activity
in the capillaries supplying the surface
with blood. When this stimulus is
continued for any considerable time
these vessels become gorged and min
ute portions of the blood force their
way into the layer Immediately under
the epidermis or outer skin. 1t is the
presence of the red corpuscles of blood
which gives the ruddy flesh tint seen
through the outer skin. At the same
time the sweat glands and oil glands,
whose function it Is to lubricate the
surface and kept it moist and cool,
become exhausted by over stimulus; (;
the outer skin gets hard and dry and
soon begins to peel off in the familiar
way, taking the minute particles of ex-
travasated blood along with it. Direct
sunlight also has darkening effect
upon the actual coloring pigments of
the skin, but this action is. distinct
from actual tanning and manifests
itself in the form of freckles. The
permanent bronze or ruddiness of
complexion seen in sailors and travel
ers in hot countries is n result of the
long continued combination Of the two
processes. Chicago Herald.

Hardy Mountaineers.

There is in Denver peculiar class
of men. They are essentially men of
the mountains. They may have their
weaknesses, but cowardice is never one
of them. They are men with pecu-
liar development of certain faculties.
They handle money az farmer handles
seedcorn-only as a means of produc-
ing more. They are always spend
thrifts. Misers do not live mile
above sea-level, where the ether in
toxicates, and a hysteria of hope dis
turbs the emotions of even the best
poised. Physically, these men of the
mountains are remarkable. Their
chests average four inches more in
breadth than those of the men of the
East. They do not become giddy.
They can climb anywhere. They can
walk all day. They can sleep any
where and they can eat anything, but
are naturally luxurious, and the miner s
cabin frequently knows finer viands
than the dining-room of the conven-
tional and pretentious citizen. Omaha

ICING WITHOUT EGGS.

A recent newspaper article called at
tention to an excellent recipe for max
ing icing without eggs. 1t is con.
yenient thing to know at this time of
the year when we nre entering upon
the days of scarce and expensive eggs.
The recipe in question directs the STIR
ring of confectionery sugar-not
merely pulverized-into orange Juice
A still better way of making eggless
icing is the following, which has been
in use in some households for a long
time, and has entirely superseded the
usual method: Put over bright fire
a cup of granulated sugar to quarter
cup of water. Shake together first,
but do not stir once after they have
been set on the stove When it drops
into soft ball in water take off and
set on the ice or in dish of cold
water. When it has partially cooled
begin to stir with fork. 1t will be-
come a creamy pliable mass, if all is
well, that after favoring is added can
be spread at once on the cake. If it
should harden too much, or be at all
rough, add more water and cook it
over. The final result is perfection

Color Photography.

The art of photographng colors
seems to be progressing in very en-.
couraging manner. The color photo.
graphs of NJ. Lippmann, which cx-
cited so much interest a year or 50
ago, have recently been surpassed by
the achievements of M. Louis Lu-
miere. NJ. Lumiere, whose name in
English means eight, "haS succeeded
in preparing gelatinobromide plates
which give, with an exposure of half
an hour, a Photographic reproduc-
tion of the natural colors of objects.
An exhibition of his work was
made before the commltte of the
Photo Club of Paris at their June
meeting, NJ. Lippmann being present
as the presiding officer. Photographs
were Shown exhibiting in their nat.
ural hueS boxes, colored clotho, fans,
Japanese screens, flowers and land
scapes.
The landscape photographs aroused
the greatest interest The delicacy
of tints which they exhibited was
quite astonishing. All the shades
and gradations of color in the grass
and trees, the sky, the fields, and the
houses were reproduced with extraor-
dinary faithfulness and clearness.
The gain in time of exposure
achieved by NJ. Lumiere il in itself
n great advance, Former methods
of photographing colo.s have re-
Quired exposures of not less than an
hour and half or two hours; but it is
hoped that the thirty minutes re-
quired by M. Lumiere's process will
soon be greatly shortened.
The French are particularly inter-
ested in the progress which color
photography is making in their coun-
try. They call it the completion OF
the invention of Daguerre. and are
eager to see it brought to perfection
by their compatrlots. 1t does not
matter, however, whether it is a
Frenchman, a German, an English.
man Or an American who shall first
make color photography The common

will win the gratitude Of all nations.
