Chicago Man Has Two Hearts.

Injuries in an explosion resulted in
Karl Wambold learning that he has
two healthy hearts. Wambold, who
is 81 years old, bears no external ev-
idence of being unusually different
from other men, yet wherever he goes
medical men besiege him for private
exhibitions. AS soon as the medical
college vacations are ended he will re-
turn to Chicago from a tour which
he is making Of the northern lake
districts. About II years ago, while
working in a stone quarry in Ger
many, Wambold attempted to investi-
gate why charge of powder had fail
ed to explode, and he was injured.
Along with several other men he was
picked up for dead. One man put an
ear to Wambold's breast. The heart
beat was detected, though on the
wrong side of Wambold's body. When
the surgeons arrived they found not
only one abnormal organ, but the nor
mal one as well. The right heart is
said to perform its functions as prop
erly as the left against which it press
es slightly, and both are as free from
disease apparently as any normal
heart Physicians say there has never
been similar case, so far as medical
records show.

Fifty Years IA Factory Girl.

Turkish Women Boating.

One of the few amusements Of which
Turkish women may avail themselves
in summer is the boating on the Sweet
Waters of Europe and Asia on Fri
days and Saturdays. These two rivers
are crowded in fine weather with
graceful caiques, which carry only
two pleasure seekers and require a
special boatman. 1t Is a brilliant
sight, for the oarsmen appear in white
costumes, with silk or satin zouave
jackets embroidered in gold and silver.
Since the dress of the women permits
little variety of color, they give vent
to their love of brilliant hues in the
parasols which they carry even after
sunset. Only two of the caiques now
retain the traditional furnishings OF q
carpet or piece of embroidery training
in the water on both sides Of the boat.

The Bedtime Luncheon.

It was formerly thought that food
taken at bedtime created Indigestion
and bad dreams. While undoubtedly
rich and hearty food is inappropriate
at the time chosen for repose, light.
nourishing repast at night often con-
duces to sound sleep by drawing the
blood away from the brain.
Physicians are now advising a bed
time lunch for weak, nervous and
emaciated people. The long hours OF
sleep consume about one-th!rd of our
existence. Although the demand made
upon the system is naturally much less
than during the waking hours, there is
a wasting away Of tissues consequent
upon the suspension of nutriment for
many hours. The body feeds upon
itself, for food taken at dinner is
khigestel at bedtime. Often one is rest

STOCKS FOR THE sHIRTWAlsT GIRL

Vast Improvements on the Stiff Collars
May BE Ma de and Laundered at Home.
The summer girl at last has realized
that the comfort of her shirtwiast is
more than half spoiled by the dis
comfort of her stiff linen collars, and
this year has betaken herself to stocks.
While some of these are really very
little Improvement on collars. as far
as comfort is concerned, others are
soft and thin, easily laundered and
easily made at home.
One OF the simplest is the stock tie.
Take a strip of white nainsook, thin,
but not too sheer or of dimity, one and
one-half yards long anu four inches
wide, and round it slightly at the
throat by collar pattern that opens
in the back. With bias strip Of
colored chambray or lawn one inch
wide bind the entire tie by sewing
one edge OF the bias strip to the edge
of the tie, folding it in the middle and
stitching down the other edge over the
first seam.
These ties are worn without any
Olhcl Soiiul anu tliN Pub oioeta ''ie
neck, crossed in the back and tied in
front in bow or four-in-hand.
Another, easily made, too, is the
crush stock of white pique, cheviot or
even duck, with colored ends. These
have straight edge at the top, which
gives a more decidedly crushed effect
when worn. They are made by sew
ing two thicknesses of pique together,
stitching around edges and adding any
kind of ties one likes. There are the
short ties for a mere knot, ties rounded
or pointed for small bow and long
ends for four-in-hand, made of the
material of shirtwaist with which the
stock is to be worn, Of solid chambray
or linen, or some of the pretty white
shirtwaist stuffs sold in the shops.
One of these ties is sewed only at its
extreme edges, so to leave slit for
the other tie to go through when put
around the neck. Still another very
effective one is made from linen
or lawn handkerchief, with narrow
hemstitched hem and tiny vine of en-
Sroidery First fold the handkerchief
from corner to corner and cut in
straight line one and one-half Inches
from each side of the fold. Cut this
strip in two croSswise and you have
two bias pieces with pointed ends,
formed by the corners of the handker-
chief, for ends of the tie. Sew these
neatly to a straight piece of lawn
thirty inches long and three inches
wide and hem both sides. Use the
two other corners of the handkerchief
for points, which are sewed to the
middle of top edge of tie and turned
down over it to complete the hand
kerchief stock.-New York Sun.

Mr.. ChandIsr's Early Lesson.

1t was always noticed of William e..
Chandler, while in the Senate, that
he never allowed the present moment
to pass when he had anything to do.
The word 'procrastination" was not
In his lexicon. This lesson he had had
drilled into him early by his mother, a
New England woman Of sturdy con-
science and character. Once, when
he came home for a holiday from an
academy six miles distant, she discov-
cred that he had let: his umbrella at
school.
William" said she, you need not
take off your hat. Go right back and
fetch that umbrella"
But, mother" pleaded the lad
"that's six miles, and the teams are
all moving this way now, so l shant
get lift"
"Then walk" was all the comfort
he got.
He trudged off, recovered his UNI
brella, and made philosophical ap
plication of this and other expert
ences in the same line to the business
which filed his life at later stage

The pioneer woman Decorator.

One of the first women in the coun-
try to take up the profession of in
terror decoration in serious way was
Mrs. Harry Klingenfeld, who dozen
years or so ago took a special course at
Columbia College as a preparation OF
the work. At that time Columbia
College had not opened its doors
to women, even informally, but
concessions were made to Mrs. King
enfield, who was the daughter of Sen
ator Ijams, of Nebraska, and under
the private tutorship of the best man
the school afforded, she pursued a
special course in architectural
draughtsmanship and fiat water color
work with a thorough grounding in
the artistic and historical side Of the
subject.
It was an unusual line for woman
to adopt at tn, time. There were few,
il any, women decorators in the coun-
try, certainly none at all in the West
when Mrs. Klingenfeld came back to
open n studio in Chicago. A little
later Miss Mary Tillinghast, who had
been studying with John La Fargo for
years, opened a studio of her own in
New York, and to the business of
making stained glass windows added
that of making rooms in which the
windows would fit Since then good
many other women have gone into
the work, with more or less Of similar
preparation and with proportionate
success, but Mrs. Klingenfeld was n
pioneer in the field, with all Of the
true pioneers enthusiasm and hope
and with also the pioneers courage
in overcoming obstacles. None Of these
qualities has deserted her to-day and
her love for her work and her bellef
in it as q legitimate phase OF art
reaching out and touching the lives
of the people are as strong to-day as
ever.
Probably no other decade has ever
seen so marked an improvement in
public taste as the last ten years. 1t
! would be hard to find to-day a woman
who would tie yellow satin bow to
the heel of the flying Mercury as Mrs.
Klingenfeld found one when she first
began to decorate other peoples
homes, and the time when fireplaces
were regarded from q so-called orna-
mental point Of view, and not at all
from their utilitarlan side, has about
passed.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

A Ely's Wings.

Most respectable insects have two
pairs of wings, but a fly has only one
pair, with a scallop on the rear edge
of each, showing that in earlier days
1t had Openers" even il they went
into the discard later. These scallops
are called "halteres," or balancers,
and it is the theory of some that they
help to steer the fly. They say that
when the starboard balancer is clipped
off the fly goes hard a-starboard, and
vice versa. But under each of these
scales is a globular process, with a
long tube frlnged with ella, believed
to be sensitive to odors. These globu-
lar processes pump air into the nerv-
ures or veins of the wings and keep
tLem taut and stiff. for thin though
the wing may seem, 1t Is really dou-
BILE texture Perhaps clipping off the
b;lancer lets the air out OF the wing
and so disables 1t. A fly is able :
saunter along through the air at the
rate of five feet n second, but when it
is in particular hurry 1t can go about
thirty-five feet second. which is a
two-thirty gait It's wings beat the
air at about the same ratio of vibra-
tion of the piano string e, first line Of
the treble staff but that is not its
only means Of audible expression.
When it gets excited and cannot break
away from the fypaper it makes it's
thoraX vibrate at higher pitch. You

not, but fly with its feet stuck fast
