Wun Sock leaned over the hearth
and drew with his bow melancholy
tune out of an old violin. Again and
again he drew the bow across the in
strument, holding a particularly deep
note, bending forward slightly and
looking intently at a spot on the
hearth. The room was dimly lighted
by tallow dip. Weird enough were
the surroundings-the figures of drag
shelf, the giant shadows cast by the
flickering light-without the accom-
paniment Of unearthly music. Twenty
minutes, half an hour, forty minutes,
and then, with an exclamation of Chi
nese disgust, he laid the violin down,
took up a large cork from the shelf,
fitted it in hole in the hearth and
blew out the tallow dip, and. after u
few puffs at the resistless pipe, threw
himself on his cot and slept.
A few minutes later Chip In opened
the door of the little ioir. and tiptoed
softly in. Lighting the tallow dip and
seeing the violin lying there. he began
where Wun Sock left off, first taking
the cork out of the hole in the hearth.
Chip In drew forth the same monoto-
nous tune, even more dismally than
his predecessor. Twenty minutes, half
and hour, forty minutes, and then,
with an eXecration, he repeated Wun
Socks actions, throwing himself on
the cot next to his worthy contempor-
ary, while that gentleman emitted
snort which may have signified gross
displeasure at the confusion aroused
by Chip In, or intense confusion at
some hallucination superinduced by
the pipe.
While Wun Sock was muttering in
coherent monosyllables to himself, in
stalkel Sip Gin, and, judging from his
wavering gait and the reverse position
of his hat, he had been a partaker of
the cup that inebriates but does not
inevitably cheer. He made his way

The Care of Hair Irushes.

No amount of washing of the hair
will keep it clean if dirty brushes are
used, yet persons otherwise fairly neat
are careless in this respect. A spe-
cialist says that hair brushes should
be washed once week, and Il used
on hair in which there is much dan
druff twice week is not too often.
The brushes should be washed in cold,
not hot, water, to which cloudy am
monia has been added in the proper
ton of scant tablespoonful to quart
of water. Care should be taken not to
wet the backs of the brushes and when
washed and rinsed-a good way to
rinse them properly is to use a shower
spray on them-they should be put on
edge in the air to dry Dressing combs
too should be frequently cleansed. a
comb cleaner being used for the pur-
pose.

From long and careful studies Of
the atmospheric conditions in north
ern Germany Herr NJ. G.. Couz of Ham
burg has taken up the question of the
industrial application of the winds
which are always abundant in that re-
gion. He has discovered a system of
electric regulators to obviate the in
convenience of the variation in the We
locity of the wind. To put his ideas
in practice Herr Couz appealed to F.
Neumann, manufacturer of wind
mills at Wittkiel, who put a large
windmill at his disposition. The wheel
had regulator to keep its speed con-
stant for a certain number of turns
when the minimum velocity of the
wind to keep it moving at that speed
had been exceeded. This wheel, which
in a tempest can furnish 80 horse
power, charges large storage battery
for electric lighting and power at Witt.
kiel. Some experiments were made
last September, and the results sur
passed all expectation. These expert
ments, which were admirably con-
Quoted, make it possible to hope that
small localities will be able to secure
electric light and power from the wind
at almost no cost. The expense of
establishing such an installation is
extremely small in comparison to the
immense advantages which 1t secures.

Colors in FurnishiDgs.

In the furnishing of the house, or in
the arrangement of single room,
many housewives do not give the at
tention they should to color effects.
1t has ben proven that color and its
combinations may affect the mind in
almost any manner desired. For exam
pie, red gives the sense of warmth,
and is exciting, even to animals.
On the other hand, blue is cold and
quieting; it produces also the effect
of distance; it deepens a recess and
makes the ceiling on which it is placed
appear higher. Blue subdues all col
ors allied to yellow, orange, white and
red by absorbing their light. Its
strongest contrast is white.
Yellow conveys the feeling of light
and appears to advance toward the eye
1t will lessen the height of room or
eXaggerate the prominence of mold
ing or other objects on which it is
placed. 1t is the most intense of all
colors.
Blended with semi-neutrals, yellow
imparts to them a radiance not their
own. 1t gives a particularly pleasing
deflniteness and brilliancy to the
compound colors, such as buff, chest
nut. hazel, dun, auburn, fawn, etc.
Green is in itself rather dull color,
and the effect of large proportion of
emeralds or blush green in combi-
nation is apt to be harsh.
Red is the only color which remains
stationary.

AS it is not possible to dry the air in

to produce current by means of a

this is very local, it has been found
that in the worst Bombay weather

The chief drawback of the punkah is

the tenacious bow, playing, however,
with somewhat more feeling than the
others. The light from the street
lamps shone dimly through the little
square panes of glass to the hole in
the hearth. Sip watched closely with
only the aid of this. The violin con-
tinued to wall and moan. Then from
the hole emerged an object, moving al
most indiscernibly first its head, then
neck, and finally writhing its whole
form out upon the hearth, standing
erect and almost touching Sip Gin with
its nose-a cobra of immense size Sip
continued to draw the bow as imper-
ceptibly as possible. Suddenly, with
a movement as quick as the flash of
sabre, he dropped both bow and violin
and grabbed the reptile just behind the
head. With Shrek he awoke Wun
Sock and Chip In, while the struggles
of the infuriated monster, together
with Sips already too unsteady head.
nearly carried that gentleman off his
balance. A light being produced, he
regained his equilibrium, while his
compartiots uttered eXclamations of
intense qualification at the victorious
although somewhat inebriated Sip.
In his rage the serpent's head was
hattened out, resembling hood, on
the back of which were the spectacle
like marks, and the brownish-o olive
form wriggled in a desperate effort to
escape. Quickly it was thrust into a
box, and while it was venting its rage
on the interior Sip pulled himself to-
gether and adjusted his disheveled raj
ment. The rest of the night they sat
up to discuss a conspiracy.
Wun Sock conducted a prosperous
laundry near the barracks, his busi-
ness having increased with the influx
of the Americans. Sip Gin was an
all-around sport, who spent most of his
time and money in the gambling joint
which is at present the scene of this
narrative, and of which Chip In was
said to be the sole proprietor. Wun
Sock had by artful competition forced
| Hop Hi, rival laundry man, to the
wall, for which piece of mercantile
courtesy he incurred that Celestial's
unmitigated enmity. Hop having mi
grated to Bombay, returned the COM
pliment in the form of this cobra, neat
| ly ensconced in a box, which Wun
Sock, in delight and ignorance of it's
contents, took around to Chip In's to
open before that heathen's usually ad-
miring eyes. Upon forcing the lid the
serpent made a pass at him, and but
| for the tool with which he opened the
| box, and which he still held in his
hand, the result would surely have
been fatal to Wun Sock. In the ex-
element, during which they all re-
treated the cobra made good his es-
cape, taking refuge in the hole in the
hearth, which they promptly stopped
up with cork.
knowing the power of music to
charm these reptiles, a violin was pro-
cured, and for six nights they met at
the joint and vainly extended an in
vitation to the cobra to emerge from
the hearth and be again immured
within the walls of his box. 1t re-
maired, however, for Sip Gin, inspired
to sentiments of tenderness by the in
fluence of soothing liquid, to draw
the bow with sufficient witchery to
charm the otherwise indomitable crea-
ture and coax him from his lair. Once
out, it was a one-shot victory, a shoot
or-be-shot chance, and Sip had drunk
