BURIED In Secret.

Two ancient kings We're buried in Sc
cret. Attila, king of the Huns, after his
siege of Rome, died In Hungary \. ID.
4J3 His soldiers, DESTROYS of giving
their great leader n right royal burial,
inclosed his body first in casket of
gold, this In one of silver and this IN
one of lead and transported 1t into n
desert. There slaves were selected, and
under the direction of men who were
sworn to secrecy they dug the grave of
the dead monarch. When this was ae-
complished no traces OF the spot were
left. The slaves were all cruelty slain.
AlarIc, king of the Goths, the cele-
brated conqueror of Rome, died when
with his army at Cozenza, south Italy.
His men turned the course of river,
Inferred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure, In its bed and re-
stored the stream to its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest
ing place Of either of these kings, who
in this respect resemble Moses, of
whom it is written, mo man knoweth
of his sepulcher unto this day."

London First Nights.

1t was at the London first night of
one of his odd plays that George Ber-
nard Shaw came before the footllghts
In answer to repeated and enthusiastic
calls for the author. He had just open
ed his mouth TO thank the applauders
when voice from the gallery called
out II think the play was rotten!
Mr.. Shaw looked up at him quickly
and said: 81 agree with you absolute
ly, but what chance do we two stand
against all these others?" 1t was an
other play of Mr. Shaw's, one that had
been acted at private matinee, which
he quit town rather than see. AT the
end of the comedy, In answer to calls
for the author, the stage manager
came out and read note from the
author. saying that, having seen the
play once. lie had gone many miles
into the country rather than risk the
danger of having to see 1t again, says
Leslle's Weekly. Mr. Mcclellan. the
American dramatist, who writes under
the name of Hugh Morton, also never
saw n performance of his uneven but
remarkably clever satire called The
Girl From Up There" and explained
his actions by saying that he was paid
for writing the play, not for seeing 1t.

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
They Are Ostcntimes the Cause of
CnlIIsinna IL

They Are OStcufimes the Cause OF
Collisions mt Sea.
Speaking Of collisions at sea. a sea
captain recently said:
~ think | can explain the cause of
many collisions which otherwise seem
to be mysterious. They arise from the
fact that green and rcd are compile
mentaiy colors. Every ship under way
carries ut night a red light burning Oh
her left or port side and green light
burning OH her right or starboard side.
Yet vessels 90 crashing into each other
upon nights when these lights must be
plainly visible from their decks And
when the case comes up in court and
an effort is made 10 establish the
blame of tie accident honest men
swear directly opposite to each other
and believe they are telling the truth.
"The captain of one ship, for In
stance, will swear that he saw red
light on his port bow and held his
course. A little later he saw green
light there, starboarded his helm, and
the collision followed. The men on the
other ship swear that where the cap
tain says he saw a green light a red
light was burning.
"Now, how does this happen? 1t hap
pens this way: The captain looks for
awhile intently at the red light on the
other vessel Then for some reason he
changes his line Of vision, probably
due to bullying sail above the light,
and, 10, he sees at once a green light,
shifts his helm, and, crash, he goes into
her! lie really does not see any light
Mt all when he looks at the sail. but an
optical illusion makes him think he
does.
TRY it yourself. Just gaze intently
at bright red. round object for awhile
and then suddenly look at blank white
wall. A green spot will appear TO you.

FREQ Medical Advice TO Women.

Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters
are received, opened, read and AL
swered by women only. A woman
can freely talk OF her private illness
TO a woman; thus has been estab-
lished the eternal confidence between
Mrs. Pinkham and the women Of
America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw
from It is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks moth
ing In return except your good will,
and her advice has relieved thousands
Surely any woman, rich or poor,
Is very foolish il she does not take
advantage of this generous offer Of

The ISeaI Nurse.

A nurse generally arrives in time Of
crisis, the patient is turned over to her,
the family draw long breath of COM
fort and relief, confide In her amazing
ly, question her about the doctor, the
treatment, the patients condition, her
experience of similar cases and unhesi-
tatingly make her privy TO their most
personal affairs.
Besides possessing unblemished cour-
age and professional skill nurse
should be prepared TO sweep, keep a
room in order, arrange flowers, read
aloud, write notes, unobtrusively quiet
such family jars as might affect her
patient. She must understand what to
do herself. what should be left to sery-
ants, remembering that this will vary
in every household. She must be quick
to see when her presence is necessary,
when she is in the way. She can allow
herself no personal habits as to bed or
board, no private existence or amuse-
ment while at case, and when the pa
tient is safely through the exciting pc
Rod of illness she has TO settle down
with good grace to the tedium of con-
valescence, never resenting the ineyi-
table withdrawal of intimacy us the
family resume normal habit of life
and no longer made her the recipient
of every thought and emotion.-Mary
Moss in Atlantic.

PLANTS THAT CLIMB.
Pecuiiarities of Their Leaves md
Their Modes of Movement.

Their NODES OF movement
II is in the twining plants. such as
bryony and hop, and the tendrl bear
ers, like vetches, that we find the high
est development of the climbing habit.
These plants live under unusual condi-
tons. In order to gain the light they
must seek rather than avoid oyerhang-
ing foliage, and so we ffnd the vetches,
instead of turning away from the shad-
ow toward the light, like most of their
nelghbors. boldly pushing up into the
center of bush to burst into blossom
amid it's upper branches far above
their less daring neighbors.
But 1t is in the leaves of these plants
tL-t we find the most remarkable mod
ifications adapting them TO a climbing
habit. The leaves of the vetches and
weddings are pinnate-tLey bear a
number of opposite ovate leaflets. The
tip Of the leaf stalk and the uppermost
pair OF pinnn are in the climbing spe-
cies changed into tendrils-sensitiye,
twining, whiplike structures-whiche x-
hiblt remarkable features. If the slight
ly curved, extended tendril of young
leaf of pea or vetch be watched care
fully IL will be found that it is slowly
but necessarily moving round and
round in Il circle. If the tendril comes
into contact with twig it bends to-
ward ii and eventually takes several
turns around it. Even a slight tempo
rary irritation is sufficient TO cause a
bending toward any side.
Finally the tendril becomes woody
and strong and forms n secure anchor
cable for the plant. Not only does the
young tent il rotate, but the whole leaf
on which it is borne is in constant mo-
ton. The shoot TO which the leaf be
longs is rotating also, so that the ten

Gated motion, in the course of which ii

Facts Published as Warning to Other Women.

The above headlines recite the

large mercantile house in New York.
Her health began TO fail, and instead
of taking rest and proper medical
treatment she resorted 10 stimulants

The hospital physician discovered
that her primary trouble was an
affection of the womb, which
could readily have been cured in the
first stages. II when she had first
felt those severe pains In the back,
the terrible headaches, the constant
sense OF fullness, soreness and pain
