Development of the Walking SticL

Probably the patriarch's staff was the
first adaptation of the walking stick.
and from its first inception to the pres
ent day it has undergone almost end
less changes. In 1701 footmen attend
ing gentlemen were forbidden to carry
swords. these being replaced by a por-
ter's staff. Thirty years later gentle
men were forbidden to carry swords.
but allowed to carry large oak sticks.
Before many years vanished and pol
ished woods with ornamental heads
came into use and in one form or an
other have held their own in public
popularity. {

sign in the window, two pairs
OF sox for Dos RiaIes with a quar-
ter of a dollar drawn on the
card. w. T. Wells questioned
the spelling and said.Dos Reals
was right and not Dos Riales,
and offered to bet Phil Helmig
of the store, cigars for the crowd
that he a right. Mr.. Helmie
said that he consulted three Mex
leans, one being a Mexican teach
er. before he made the card and
they said Dos Riales was right.
but he didn't have the nerve to
bet as Mr.. Wells seemed deter
mined that he was right. The
question is, is there an where

i ought to be. Which is it?

Bedouins md Water.

1t is not unusual to hear n Bedouln
upon reaching a camp where water is
offered him refuse it with the re-
mark, II drank only yesterday" On
the Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins is
nicely calculated to just outlast the
journey, and they rarely allow them
selves to break the habit of abstemi-
BUSINESS, as this would be sure to make
their next water fast all the harder.
They are accustomed from infancy to
regard water as a most precious COM
modify and use 1t with religious econ
omy. They know every hollow and
nook in the mountains where water
may be found. Their camels and goats,
which they take with them on their
marches to supply them with milk
and meat. live principally on the
scanty herbage and foliage Of the
thorny mimosa. Neither men nor ami
mails drink more than once in forty
eight hours. No wonder they can sub
sist where invaders quickly perish.

A Clever Escape.

Prince Louis Napoleon, afterward Ma
poleon Ill, effected his escape from
Ham in 1876 in singular manner. He
was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government, made
at Boulogne in 1910. At z o'clock one
morning the prince, having shaved his
mustache and thrown q blouse and
workingman's trousers over his own
clothes an(G wearing wooden shoes,
quietly walked out of the prison, carry
ing a bookshelf over his shoulder to
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at work
in the prison and was passed by sew
eral persons. A carriage was waiting
in the neighborhood, and by o'clock
in the afternoon he was at Valenciennes,
where he took n train to Brussels,
and he arrived in London two days
later Meanwhile in the prison DR..
Conneau, the princes physician, had
placed q dummy in the princes bed and
told the governor that the prince was
confined to his room by illness. This
satisfied the governor until o'clock In
the evening, when he insisted on seeing
the prince and discovered the fraad.
BY this time, of course, the prince was
over the frontier. DIR. Conneau got off
with three months of prison. Within
thirty-one months Prince Napoleon was
the first president of a French republic,
supplanting King Louis Philippe, who
had abdicated.

The HIndoo saree.

The saree is the national costume of
almost all Hindoo women and occa-
sionally of Mohammedan women in
India. 1t is an entire cloth, in many
cases eighteen yards long and about n
yard broad. In texture the cloth va
ries to suit the poorest as well as the
richest inhabitants of the country. In
the matter of tying and wearing the
garment there is little difference any
where. The cloth, which has one plain
end. is passed around the lOins and the
upper border tied in strong knot.
The cloth is then passed two, three or
even four times around the waist to
form petticoat, which, if the saree be
q proper width, reaches to the ground.
A portion is then plated neatly into
folds and tucked in before so as to
hang down in front to the instep. or
even lower The remainder of the cloth
is passed across the bosom over the
left shoulder and head, on which 1t
rests, the ornamental ends falling part
" over the right arm below the waist.
In the south of India, however, the
end does not pass over the head. 1t is
drawn tightly over the left shoulder
and bosom and tucked into the waist
behind or on the right hip.

The snakes whistle,

1 found myself somewhat muddy and
breathing Il little hard, but 1 was not
wholly chagrined. 1 had heard and
seen n black snake whistle. had never
even known of the habit before. Since
then I have seen one other snake do it.
and / think 1 have heard the sound
three or four times. 1t is almost indie
scribable. The jaws were closed as it
was made, not even the throat moving,
that could see. The air seemed to be
blown violently through the nostrils,
though sounding as if driven through
the teeth-a shrilling hiss, fine and
piercing, which one not so much hears
as feels-feels it crisping cold along his
nerves. 1t may seem strange. but be-
lieve this whistle is a mating call. Even
the forked tongue Tor maybe the nose)
of a snake grows vocal with love.-Dal-
las Lore Sharp in National Magazine.

Avn wear costIx Raimcnt,

No man who eats in n restaurant
ever pays less than $50 for a suit or an
overcoat, and no woman who eats in a
public place ever wears q waist costing
less than $50, and frequently the cost
is much more, at least so says the pro-
prietor of n fashionable New York res
taurant. He, like all restaurant own
ers, occasionally receives complaints
from people who have lost an over
coat-or mislaid one-and who have
had garments positively ruined by a
careless waiter splitting soup or some
thing else on a portion of it, usually a
sleeve, and he says that the above fig
ures are the lowest quotations he ever
heard.

THE INSTINCT FOR DOLLS.
Rag babies More Loved Than Their
Gaudy Wax Sisters.

Gaudy Wax Sisters.
Few things are more psychologlcally
interesting than the instinct which
makes little girls sometimes before
they are able to articulatel seize upon
any absurd object to satisfy the mater
nal instinct; even a bottle wrapped in
a towel has served the purpose, for,
like savages, when they worship they
are content with the rudest imitation
of the human figure. On that wretch
ed caricature, the daubed and lumpy
rag doll, bOundless affection is be-
slowed, and with it how many Socratic
dialogues are held!
AS time goes on this rudimentary eff
figy is exchanged for others which bet
ter satisfy newly developed tastes and
feelings. A girl of six is not content
unless her doll baby bears some resem-
blance to her mothers baby. Aided by
this mirage of reality, the imagination
leaps all bounds. But it is checked by
too studied an imitation of life. The
splendid, richly dressed creature Of
wax is never really loved. It's tame
ness chills the fancy. 1t is imposed
upon the affections, not created by
them. And too large a doll is seldom
much liked. a small doll, not too
handsome, is usually the favOrite.
AS girls grow older there may often
be seen a touching suggestion of fact
familiar in real life, partially for
the weakest and least favored of the
doll family.-Good Housekeeping.

Letters from
Women

Cured by the use of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-

1t the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, II Is because the juices se-
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That is
Indigestion. The system is deprived of the
amount Of nourishment required to keep up
the strength. and the result is that one or
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker. until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The

mistake. Why should they II is so easy

nat. and Their Food.

The capacity of rats for discovering
fresh stores of food is astounding and
often leads to those united migratory
movements that periodically create
alarm and are described as plaques
of rats" These great movements are
undoubtedly initiated and personally
conducted" by old and experienced
rats, the aldermen of the colony, at
once a proof of highly developed In
telligence and unselfishness. Rats in

ent in commercial plague form, do a
great deal of good as consumers of
garbage that would otherwise become
a perilous nuisance. 1t is also popular
delusion that a rat bite is unusually
dangerous from this fact of sewer
garbage eating. On the contrary, rats
cut as clean as a new lancet.-Pall Mall

Ellen Terry's Toe.

When Ellen Terry was Il little girl
about ten years old she played Puck in
"a Midsummer Nights Dream" and
had to make her appearance through
the stage floor on trapdoor. The trap
door was shut too soon, and one of the
childs feet was caught. She screamed
with pain, and Mrs. Charles Kean
whispered to her: BE a brave girl,
Nellie. Finish your part, and you shall
play Arthur in King john" The
trapdoor by this time was opened, but
the child's toe was broken. She, how
ever, pluckily pulled herself together
and finished her speech.
