CAR AND KAISER.
Little Exchange of KingIy Courtesy

The car has given the kaiser gold
smoking set, and the kaiser has given
the car gold writing set-and its

connection it may be stated that the
correspondence accompanying these
somewhat valuable gifts has not been
made public, but without much men
tai effort it can be imagined it runs
something like this:

The Shiftless Brazilian.

United States Consul Furniss, of
Sergipe, Brazil, says of the shiftless
native Bra.ilians: "He need not own
land, as he can put up his mud hut
anywhere; he has an abundance of
fruit, such as the banana, jaca, ca ju;
the tidal rivers are full of fish, shrimp,
crabs and oysters and the woods
abound with game. He can raise his
small patch of manioc, and as it is
never cold enough for fire he works
only when there is need of money to
purchase articles which he does not
produce. ! have been shown fields
full of cotton and other products
which were going to waste because of
the proprietors' inability to induce the
laborers to harvest them. One would
think that laborers living on a farm
would be compelled to work for the
proprietor, but that does not seem
to be the case here, as in spite of the
fact that in most cases they pay no
rent they will either refuse to work
at all or will work only few days at
Il time, yet they are allowed to remain
upon the land preempted." Detroit

WORLDS OLDEST LIBRARY.
Unearthed by Archaeological Ex.
plorers In the NeighbOrhood of
Ancient Babylon,

No archaeological material of great

library of clay tablets which recently
arrived at the University of Pennsyl.
vania. Ever since the discovery of
Ashurbanapal's library at Nineveh,
more than 25 years ago, scholars have
many libraries, for in these the copies
for the Assyrian library were made.
Twelve years ago Prof. Hilprecht, as
he rode over the mounds at Nippur,
pointed out the place WHICH in his
judgment should contain the temple
library. On the recent campaign the
same large group of mounds south of
the temple, and In close proximity to
it, proved to contain the temple IL
brary of Nippur. About rs feet be-
meath the surface was found a series
of rooms from which were taken over
10000 cuneiform tablets. Only one.
twentieth part Of the library has thus
far been excavated. Prof. Hilprecht
estimates that the library will yield,
when completely eXcavated, at least
100000 tablets. The very great i'm
portanee attached to this discovery,
says Woman's Home Companion, is
that every tablet belongs to the Pc
Rod prior to Abraham, for the library
had collapsed under the ruthless acts
of the invading Elamite hordes, 22s5
B. C., which was shortly before, or
about the time, the patriarch left Ur
for the Chaldees. Considering what
slight records we formerly possessed
of the period prior to Abraham-only
a few chapters in Genesis-and that
here is library of many thousand vol
umes belonging to tlsat early period,
we can, in a measure at least, begin to
realize the Importance of this find.

CULL1NG OSTRICH FEATHERS.
How the Work Is Done on the Ex.
tensive Farms of Southern
California.

News comes from California that
ostrich farming is now paying in
dustry. About this season of the yea1
many people from Los Angeles go out
to the farms at South Pasadena to
watch the plucking of the feathers.
To many in the east the plucking of
ostrich feathers is probably associated
with a violent laying on of hands and
a tying down of the bird. AS matter
of fact, the gathering of the feathers
is very delicate task, says the Sci
entific American.
When the time comes a man careful
ly examines the flock, and picks out
those birds whose feathers are ripen.
ing, groups them into dozens, and pens
them in, so that they cannot run about
and iniure their beautiful plumage.
When the plucking time comes, the
bird is enticed into a narrow, dark pas
sageway. The entrances are then
closed and the bird thus imprisoned.
A cloth bag is thrown over the crea-
lures head. Then the plucking be-
gins. Three men, perched upon plat
forms without the pen reach over the
board inclosure and with curious scis-
sor-like appliances pluck off the feath-
ers. Whatever wounds a bird may re.
ceive are Immediately dressed. The
tailed feathers are pulled and not cut
simply because they reproduce better
than other feathers of the ostrich.
While the plucking is in progress the
ostrich keeps up a dismal roaring.
Were it not for the stanch construc
ton of the pen the creature would
kick the boards into splinters.
The first plucking is the most val,
liable. For that reason the older
ostriches are kept simply as breeders.
How successfulis the ostrich industry
in southern California may be gagged
from the fact that about three-quar-
tiers of million dollars are now in
vested in it, and the annual output of
feathers is worth about 100000.

SHE wATERED THE CHICKENS.
Her Services i'm the POul-
l try Yard.

Last summer a little Chicago girl,
five years old, was taken to visit on
a farm in Michigan. This little girl
had lived all her life in the great
city and had never before been out
in the country. The flowers, the
fences and the apple trees interested
her very much, while such common
things as pigs, cows and chickens
she had actually never seen before.
She wondered at the pigs, was a
trife timid about the cow, but the
little chickens only few days old
were to her a source of great de-
light, relates the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
One afternoon shortly after her
arrival the man was out in the
front yard with sprinkling can,
pouring water on the plants. To her
wondering question:: ''What is he
doing that for?" some one replied:
s'He is watering the flowers
Later in the afternoon she heard
the man tell Brother Ben to Ego and
water the chickens"
sob! let me do it," exclaimed the
tiny maiden, and she slipped away,
but no one noticed where she went
nor thought of what she would do.
Five minutes later, when Ben went to
set basin of water where the chick
ems could drink. he discovered her
gleefully drenching those tiny little
chickens from the sprinkling can.
She was watering the chickens"
Only two or three of them were able
to endure the bath.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Various Items of Feminine Apparel
That VIII Be Worn the Conn
ing Season.

For autumn wear the small checks
in silks and light weight woolens
are still in demand, most commonly
in black and white, but also in other
dark colors combined with white.
The hosiery to be worn with these
black and white gowns must be
either solid black, plain white, or
white worked with black devices,
says American Queen.
Embroidered stocks, cuffs and belts
in the bright autumnal colors are
smarter than ever. To keep these
accessories free from wrinkles and
in correct shape little strips of War
ren's featherbone are used. Being
pliable and unbreakable, it yields to
the natural motions of the muscles,
yet prevents the belt and stock from
settling into mere strings.
= Some stylish coats that may be
worn for various occasions are made
in white mohair, pique and soft silk
with loose fronts, half fitted backs
sometimes with band at the waist
buttoned to hold in the fullness like

ornament the better taste, though
some of these coats are trimmed
with dark velvet and Russian lace.
For travelling, new glove is
brought out in white, fawn color or
gray glaze kid with detachable
gauntlets. Gloves of the natural
tint of Russian leather are in re-
quest.
The finer the veil the better, and
they still show spots and ring dots.
Lace wells with accompanying scarfs
are worn with many of the large
hats, and we are coming back to the
old-fashioned tambour laces.
For dress trimming lace still holds
its own, and all kinds of rich oriental
embroidery are appearing on wolfe,
canvas and grenadine gowns.
No woman should attempt to wear
fashionable skirt until she has re-
hearsed how to do it well. If it lies
on the ground in front, she must
stand very erect and take short
steps; if it trails on the ground be-
hind she must catch it up in the
back, giving it a certain swing round
in order to draw up the greater
length at the other side.
About midway between the feet
and hem, thus raising it from the
ground not only-in the back, but at
the sides as well. The skirt should
not be raised so as to draw any full
ness about the hips.

LIVE MORE SIMPLY.
How to Manage the Household At
fairs When Debts or Losses
Reduce Capital.

Soliaitude about ways and means,
the pinch of poverty, anxiety as to
bills, ability to pay debts, losses and
crosses in matters of finance, are
more surely distressing and more re-
lentleSsly wear out the body and
soul than all other causes put to-
gether, writes Margaret L. Sangster
in Ladies' Home Journal. The deep
est grief, the most persistent heart
ache, the uttermost sorrow, always
excepting disgrace, are powerless to
use up vital energy as pecuniary
anxiety inevitably does. If this is to
be attributed to our American habit
of idolizing show, which leads some
people to engage in style of living
far beyond their means, SO that the
wolf is forever creeping near the sill.
or growing at the window-pane, the
remedy is within reach. Live more

Refuse to spend more than is earned.
Cling to the old furniture, to the

There are, of course, family crises
when obligations multiply, as in pro-
longed illness with it's attendant en-
traordinary expenses, when several
of the children are in school and col
lege at the same time, and there
cannot be postponement of the cost
of their education.
Ordinarily, however, the rule of
the home and of the individual in love
with composure and Independence
should not be to incur expenses
which cannot readily be betrayed;
not to venture into that slough of
