MARKEN MODES.
The Mems Fashions Are queer, hut
the Women's Queerer.

The Mems Fashions Are Queer, but
the Women's Queerer.
The great feature of Marker is the
costumes Of the people. The Marken
girls when they take service away from
home in the neighboring cities Of tho
Zuyder Zee still tenaciously cling fast to
their native costume in all its oddity.
The men of Marker wear full black
wooden knee breaches, with black wooden
stockings, and at home wooden shoes.
Above they have on a wide blouse fasten-
ed ut the neck with pair of gold but
tons, and underneath this a red flannel
shirt, which shows at the waist.
The women Guido them. They wear,
one and all, black bodice, over which is
a stomacher, or 'habbetje," In the YER
nacular, Of bright figured chintz, often of
large and pronounced pattern. Their
black wooden skirts are short and full
and show at the bottom the edge of a red
flannel petticoat. Their stockings are
black, and their shoes, at least out of
doors, are the wooden klompen, that the
Dutch name SO expressively describes.
The headdress, as everywhere in Hol-
land, is the most distinctive part Of the
whole. 1t consists OF a high, cylinder
shaped cap of colored linen, covered in
its turn with muslin cap, with an edge
and insertion of lace, all most carefully
and deliberately made. From under the
edge Of the cap projects, stiff and
straight, long bang of blond hair, and
from each side over the ears hangs down
thick curl to the waist. These curls are
the particular feature of Marker. Old
and young wear them, through all the
varying degrees of luxuriance of growth,
from the young girl, who assumes this
whole costume when she arrives at
manageable age, through the plentiful
abundance of young womanhood. to the
stringiness and ultimate paucity of age
The Marker children it is utterly inn
possible to distinguish as to sex at an
early age, since all wear skirts and tight
fitting caps. The boys, however. have
star shaped crown In the latter, which
is apparent when pointed out. When a
boy is 5 years old, he lays aside these
garments for the garb of his father,
whom he straightway resembles in min
iature. The Marker costume is one of
the brightest and most varlously colored
that can be found anywhere out of more
southern lands, circumstance that rem
ders a Marker clothesline a glory to be-
hold.-Keystone.

A Day Ahead of the Almanac.

An interesting circumstance incident to
Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe
and discovery of the Philippines is that
every degree Magellan sailed westward
added four minutes to his day until,
when he reached the Philippines, the
difference in time amounted to about 16
hours.
Curious enough, this escaped the notice
of all. Elcano, the only captain who
made the entire circuit, was not aware,
when he returned to the longitude of
his departure, that his ships logbook''
was about a day behind 'the time Of the
port his long continued westward course
had brought him back to. The error re-
manned unnoticed also in the Philippines
till 1874, when it was decided to pass
over New Years day for once altogeth-
err"
Thus it appeared that the Philippines,
instead Of lying far to the west of Spain,
the direction In which the discoveries had
sailed, might more properly be spoken of
as lying about eight hours east OF Spain.
When it is noon in Madrid, it is about
500 in the evening in Manila and about
TAO in the morning at Washington.-Self

How mn Adventurous Yankee Ac.
qufrcd an Island In the Paciac.
The little island Ia the Pacific ocean
said to have been seized by Japan and
which the United States was very de-
sirous Of acquiring Is generally known
as Marcus island. but is also known as
Marquis or Marcus, Of Weeks, and a
not untenable assumption Is that il may
have at one time been the property or the
residence OF a noblcman OF this name.
However this may be, It was uninhabited
for a long time, and 1t might be unin-
habited even now IL a wide awake Amer
lean skipper had not CHANGED to spy il
one fine morning few years ago as he
was cruising In the Pacific.
The name OF the skipper Is Captain
Foster, and be is the, commander Of a
sailing vessel which plies between the
orient and San Francisco. He was max
ing one OF his usual trips on the day
when he landed at Marcus island, and
the result seems to show that he was full
~ justified in going for a few hours out
of his usual course. True, he found the
island uninhabited and barren, but then
he was shrewd enough to see that II
might prove of considerable value In the
future, and consequently, as there was no
evidence that any one owned 1t, he deter
mined to take II under his own protection.
Having arrived at this decision, he re-
turned to his cabin and wrote q polite let
ter to James q. Blaine, who was then
secretary Of state, informing him of his
new acquisition and requesting permis-
sion to hoist the United States flag there
on. No American ever appreciated an
adventurous deed more than Mr.. Blaine,
and 1t did not take him long to send word
to the modern Robinson Crusoe that he
was at full liberty to hoist the United
States flag from the most conspicuous
peak Of his new domain. This was well
come news to Captain Foster, and few
hours after 1t reached him the stars and
stripes were raised on the island, and
there they have waved ever since, not a
single great power uttering a word of pro-
test, but all, on the contrary, tacitly, il not
openly, recognizing Captain Fosters
ownership and the suzerainty of the
United States
This is not surprising, for until recent
~ no one except Captain Foster seems to
have thought the island of any value. 1t

ed with trees and shrubbery. A white,
sandy beach surrounds it, and near its
center is a knoll rising 200 feet above

1912 degrees east and is near the track
of vessels plying between Honolulu and
Yokohama, being 2,700 miles distant

stone Tells Ancient stories.

The wonder of ages has been settled by
a fragment of bas-relief discovered in
Egypt, which shows how the obelisks and
other large monoliths were transported
from the quarry to their site. The stone
is depicted upright on e great galley, or
vessel, which is being towsd by number
of small boats alongside.
The method of detaching a monolith
from the mother rock is also explained
by semidetached block in one of the
quarries at Syene. After having been
hewn clear on three sides, deep groove
was cut into the side still attached to the
rock, and holes were pierced, into which
dry wooden pegs were driven. The pegs
were then wetted, and the wood in swell
ing broke off the monolith from the quar-
