Miss Shortfunds picked up slip OF
paper and made notes of her cousins
costume:
One expensive pedestrian suit. badly
mussed and with an unsightly spot on
the right hip
One overturned china silk shirt
waist.
One shepherdess hat of straw and
maline. trimmed with flowers.
One pair of half soiled white kid
gloves.
One wristbas of 1902 vintage.
Five minutes laters Miss shortfunds
marched out of the house. carrying a
dress suit case, which contained the
pedestrian suit, list of measurements
and SIS.
Al the next day she reappeared OF
the scene, her small brother loaded with
packages.
When Miss Gotsum stood forth ar
rayed in the purchases. the pretty gray
pedestrian suit looked like new. having
been cleaned and pressed by a tailor.
The fancy silk waist had been replaced
by one of heavy white linen. embroidered
in a conventional morning glory pat
tern and French knots. Instead of the
picturesque hat of maline and flowers,
there was a smart little sailor Of rough

SHE'LL LAMP SHADE.

Pretty lamp shades are made of Jingle
shells, which are easily gathered in pro-
fusion on the beaches. The shells are
strung on silk thread and suspended
from a wire circle fitting the neck of a
glass or porcelain lamp shade. AS
many strands OF beads are hung on the
wire as II will accommodate and each
strand falls a little below the bottom of
the shade. The effect, when the lamp is
lighted. Is excellent, as the shells
sparkle brilliantly

E.Gun Without Bullets.

A gun which fires no bullets. vet is
useful in target practice, is used for
practice by the Seventy-first Regiment
of New York. 1t is known as the sub
target gun, and records the aim on a
small dial under the muzzle of the rifle
by means of a scoring needle, which by
electrical control leaps forth and pune
lures the dial as soon as the trigger is
pulled. While no account can be taken
of wind, the gun has great value in
teaching sighting, position and aiming.
These three considerations are held as
exceedingly important by rifle ex3erts.
The success of the Seventy-first Regi-
ment at Creedmoor in the big matches
last month, when it defeated all other
teams, has brought the advantages of
the subtarget gun machine prominently
to the front. The machine is a firearm
holder in which a Krag, Springfield or
any other gun can be set. The gun is
delicately balanced by weights and con-
nected with the electrically controlled
recording pin, which moves in front of

pharaoh's Corn Fake.

Some time ago there was a wonderful
story in the European journals about
certain grains of ancient Egyptian corn
which had ben planted in Germany and
had duly come to life. The grains,
they said, had been found in an Egyp-
tian sarcophagus and had been planted
by a Dresden florist. Some days later
the corn appeared above the ground,
much to the surprise of scientists, who
did not suppose that there was any life
in grain which was from four to five
thousand years old.
The corn, however, was certainly
growing, and even the most incredu-
lous among them soon became con-
WINGED that grains have a lease of life
to which there is practically no limit.
Alas! A boy, employed by the Ores
den florist, has now confessed that he
planted some ordinary grains in the
same place where his master had
planted the Egyptian ones and only a
few hours after the florist had COM
pleted the work. This was sad news
for the scientists and for the numerous
journalists who had written enthusi-
astically about the miraculous quail
ties of the ancient grains. The corn
is still growing in the garden of the
Dresden florist, but no one now imag-
ines that any of it is Of Egyptian ORR
gin.
