Too Good to Throw away.

Every woman when making half yearly
inspection of her closets and trunks has
probably experienced the great difficulty
Of deciding what TO keep and what to
give or throw away as useless. Perhaps
there is no department of housekeeping
in which the natural depravity Of mani
mate objects is more exemplihed than in
such selections. Some garment or piece
OF material has been kept year after year
just because it is 'too good to throw
away" 1t has been taken from the town
house to the country house and back
again from the country house to the town
house, and the expected need for it has
never occurred. says the New York Trib-
une. Finally the owner is quite tired out
waiting until it may be useful and gives
II away with q bundle OF old clothes;
whereupon, OF course, the long looked for
occasion arrives when its need is almost
imperative and something must be bought

object would have been "just the thing"
Many women get Queerly attached to
their old clothes, to the various rich ma
terials that have composed their dinner
gowns and other handsome toilets. They
cannot bear to treat with disrespect ma
terial that has been very costly. and the
consequence is they accumulate a regular
storehouse during years Of prosperous
living.
"Mary is never happy without her
rags" laughed the husband OF one OF
these thrifty danes. "She carts trunks
around with her filled with old clothes,
and yet she is forever getting new ones.
We actually had to build an addition to
our house TO accommodate them"

clinging desperately to the straps as
they were jcrked this way and yank-
ed that He hid himself behind his
paper, and all things else sank into
complete oblivion so far as the man of
affairs was concerned. 1t mattered
nothing to him whether the woman in
front of him sighed as her tired hands
cIung to the strap over his head with
grim determination. She could have
stood there forever, and the man would
never have as much as turned pity
ing glance upon her.
"Well, my dear, are you tired to-

"Oh, no, not especially"

Bottled Tear Cure.

A physician who has recently return
ed from Persia says that the natives
believe that human tears are a remedy
for certain chronic diseases. At every
funeral the bottling of mourners' tears
is one of the chief features of the cere-
mony. Each of the mourners is pre-
sented with sponge with which to
mop his face and eyes, and after the
burial these sponges are presented to
the priest, who squeezes the tears into
bottles, which he keeps.

A CADETS INVENTION.
He Makes Reversing Genr For the
Steam Turbine.

Steam Turbine.
An important invention has recently
been made by p. i. Belchcrs, a CADET
OF the Virginia Polytechnic institute at
Blacksburg, Va. II is the long sought
reversing gear on the steam turbine.
Mr.. Belchers worked so quietly that
he patented his invention in every
country in Europe and in the United
States before any one knew anything
about it. In fact, he holds patents for
the reverse gear on the steam turbine"
In Germany, Italy, France, Belgium,
Spain, Australia, Russia, England and
the United States.
The Importance of the invention Is
apparent to any one who will give 1t a
glance. For example, the Turbinia, the
second fastest boat aaoat, will require
Just three turbines in her hold instead
of the five formerly used there. Three
were required to drive the craft for
ward and two to reverse it. As the re-
verse gear will do away with the two

The apple, says DR.. G. r. Searles, is
such a common fruit that very few per-
sons are familiar with its remarkably ef
ficacious medicinal properties. Every
body ought to know that the very best
thing they can do is to eat apples just
before retiring for the night. Persons un-
initiated in the mysteries of the fruit are
liable to throw up their hands in horror
Mt the visions of dyspepsia which such
a suggestion may summon up, but no
harm can ever come to even a delicate
system by the eating OF couple of ripe
and juicy apples Just before the hour for
going to bed.-Ledger Monthly.

The interesting republic which the
Russian troops found in the Businesses
of Manchuria4i is described by the Lon

century all unknown to Europe and
to most white men in the Far East.
The republic is situated near Grin or
Kirfn, in the basin-of the Sungari It
is called Tcha-Pi-Gob and has grown
in population from-T6 900 souls to 10O.-
900. In the beginning this Chinese
Switzerland was ruled by a board of
three headmen, but a politician named
Chan Yui Poa seized the Presidency,
levied taxes, established courts and
created trade guilds. A descendant of
his now occupies the executive post.
When the Russians invaded Manchuria
the little army of the republic turned
out and made better fight than did
the Chinese imperial troops
