Living or Dead:

A young man went to see Madame
Tussaud's famous exhibition of wax
work figures in London. AS soon as
he got in he saw a poor. pinched, hun
cry looking man in corner, and.
thinking it was beggar he went near
and put penny in it's outstretched
hand. From the laughter of the other
visitors he soon found out his mistake.
The poor beggar was wax figure. He
made up his mind not to be taken in
again. He went into the large hall.
and right at the end was the figure of
a man by itself. When he got close mp
to it he stood still to have a good look.
Then he walked round it, touched it
and marvelled how wax could be made
SO lifelike. Presently there was a
broad grin on the face of this figure,
and the terrified country man hurried
out of the room, saying it was impos-
sible to tell dead people from the liv-
ing. or the living from the dead.

History ON q watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer. Houzeau, recently deceased.
was an article in which, while arguing
in favor of a decimal division of time,
he pointed out the origin of the double
set of twelve hours represented on our
watch and clock faces. The ancient
inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the
number twelve as an arithmetical base
because it has four divisors, viz, two,
three, four and six. while ten has only
two divisors. Viz, two and five They
couAted twelve hours in the day and
twelve in the night. measuring the day
by the progress of the sun, and the
night by the progress of the stars
across the sky. This system, prevail
ing over all others. has come down to
us, and so our watches bear on their
faces souvepir of those ancient days
when the sun served for a clock hand
half of the time, and the stars the 9TH
er half.

widow will, if she is young, prove most

widow will, if she is young, prove most
seducing to many members of the 9TH
err sex. Men most love innocence in
a woman more than aught else. But
there are others to who worldly ex-
perience, especially if accompanied by
beauty and evident good nature, is
far stronger lure. American widows
excel in charming mankind. 1t is only
necessary to think of the number OF
them who have become part and par
eel of English society to realize this.
The American girl gets more than her
proper share of masculine alteration
in the States. Perhaps this makes the
American widows social department
appeal more to English sympathies
and hearts. Unmarried girls may be
insipid In their talk and yet attract a
good deal of attention. Not SO the
widow. Experience has taught her the
way to mems esteem, and thence. per-
haps. to their hearts. Who like her
can hatter and tickle the vanity of the
average male: 1t is no crime in her.
oh, dear. NO! Men are vain and like
to be flattered. just as cats like to be
strOked the right way; and having
good opinion of themselves, they are
exceedingly prone to form high opin-
ion of the person in whose agreeable
society this little weakness of the male
nature Is recognized and catered to.
This is the widows high art. AS stu
dent and expert at life she is miles
above the unwedded maiden. For tact
she is not to be beaten. She is
the best Of peacemakers. even as she Is
often hostess Of the first rank.

w,dov. H.ve the B... Of II.

Why is it, many single women ask.
that widows are 50 much more attrac-
tive to the opposite sex than those
who have never voyaged upon the sea
of matrimony? There is no doubt that
the ordinary unmarried girl is often
most attractive to a man in her igno-
rance Of the world and its ways. II
she let's it appear that she wants to
know little except as he may wish her
to know. her charm, in his esteem, is
bound to be increased. A man loves
to be exalted to the position of keeper
of girls heart and mind. 1t adds to
his self-esteem and gives him that sense
of vested interest in another's life
which reaches its climax in marriage.
But widows are in a different case.
They do not allure by their ignorance.
A dull widow repels men. But spark
ling, bright, conversational and tactful

New Styls for Fair Cyclists.

One of the latest styles in bicycle
suits is called The Lucy" 1t is in
every sense a desirable costume. A

ment separates and hangs gracefully on
each side. 1t is really divided skirt.
but that is not noticeable when the
wearer dismounts. A box plat is SO
arranged that it falls into place direct
ly over the division of the skirt. The
skirt is buttoned down the front, which
is made so as to fold over the seam,
where it also buttons. The opposite
side is made alike to all appearances.
One point in favor of this skirt is the
fact that knickerbOckers are not re-
quired. the weight of the skirt, and
the way it is made, keep
ing it down below the boot tops. The

Energy Expended In Cloud Formation.
A calculation is given in bulletin

in raising the rainfall to the clouds
is equivalent to ]. 920, 0O0. 900 continuous

Machines for the saving of household
labor are many, and are likely to In

latest article in this line is floor

This useful mechanical housemaid will
scrub the floor, collect all the Stops and

ripe peaches two weeks earlier by the
following method: In the middle OF

around a large arm Of a tree, and
twist it fairly tight. This checks the
flow of sap and causes fruit buds to
form early and IN great number. The
fruit on the branches OF this arm Will
ripen two weeks earlier than that on
the untreated branches, and will be
much more highly colored. But this
part of the tree will be so weakened
by the treatment that it should be
cut away after fruiting. that new
shoots may come and take its
place. Thus one large arm or limb of
q tree may be forced each year.-Ex.

skirts That Hang from Yokes.


Skirts on yokes seem likely to find
great favor. The yoke is usually made
pointed in front and rounded and
shorter in the back. 1t fits stifny and
close, sheath-like in its exactness of
surface. The skirt that flows from un-
der this sheath yoke is attached to an
under yoke, for it would never do to
risk pulling the outer yoke out of line
by fastening the rest of the skirt to it.
A skirt thus planned can he worn by
really stout person and allow them
the full and sweeping lines of wide
skirt at the hem, while their hips are
not in the least widened. To such
women this sort of skirt offers rare
advantage, while to a slender woman
the style Is all the more becoming.

and the press representatives are excluded. he
will procure a writ for a review of the proceed

will be carried.
