The Rose Cross Of Thibet.

Any of the British officers now on
the road to Lhase who may happen to be
freemasons have. perhaps, just an out
side chance Of solving an Interesting
question. For there are those who be-
lieve that the high Roslcrucian adopts,
having emigrated to the east about the
beginning Of the seventeenth century, still
inhabit the Thibetan plateaux to-day,
and some Of the mysteries of freemas-
onry have been supposed to have been
acquired from the Rosicrucians. fthey
ever existed, the Rosicrucians were a
secret society possessing the art Of turn
ing baser metals into gold. and vowed
themselves to gratuitous healing OF the
sick. Sceptics, however, maintain that
there never was such society, but that
1t was invented as ponderous joke by
a learned seventeenth century treatise
writer.-London Chronicle.

THE NEW SHIRTWAIST BOX.
It Is Made of Light Wood, Covered
with Mating and ornamented
by Its Owner.

While the shirt waist box can hardly
be considered a novelty these days, It
comes in for a considerable amount of
identifying and improvement so as to
keep pace with the development of the
shirt waist, which more and more is be-
coming thing of beauty. Mating and
bamboo combined make an excellent re-
ceptacle for miladi's sheer, filmy waists,
with their frills and lace trimming, but
in order to give the beautifier some op-
portunity the decoration must be applied
to the inside of the box. Such box
is the one here shown. 1t is of light
wood. covered with mating. ornament
ed by devices in bamboo and tiny straw
buttons. and to relieve the plainness Of
the interior there is an elaborate decora-
ton executed with the topographic
needle. This extra touch Of ornaments
ton adds little to the cost of the box.

ing that the total number Of ex-sol-
diers and ex-sailors Of the civil war

hill-Chair Hill, for that is the signi-
fication Of Etseshan. The Chinese de-
Tended themselves stoutly.
The forts on Sungshushan, as well as
the coast forts. replied to the Japanese
attack with reverberating volleys from
their large guns. 1t seemed as II the
tremendous uproar would rend the very
heavens. The shells from the various
forts, moreover. inflicted much damage
on the besiegers, while every shot from
the Japanese side told. After what
seemed about an hour the Chinese fire
slackened, and then ceased altogether.

on, then scaled the hill from the right
side and rushed with wild cheers on to-

the bayonet's-point- At 1880 a. m. the
First battalion reached the left flank of
the second fort. and carried the place
by storm. Shortly afterwards the Sec

why ICE DOES NOT SINK.
Magazine Writer In Explanation Says
That Water Alone Is Ex-
banded by Cold.

II Is one Of the most extraordinary
things In this extraordinary world,
writes Henry Martyr Hart in a maya
zine. that water should be the sole ex-
ception to the otherwise universal law
that all cooling bodies contract and
therefore increase in density.
Water contracts as its temperature
falls and therefore becomes heavier.
and sinks until 1t reaches 80 degrees.
At this temperature water Is the heav-
Test. this is the point Of its maximum
density. From this point It begins to
expand. Therefore in winter, although
the surface may be freezing at tenn
perature Of 80 degrees, the water at
the bottom of the pool is six or seven
degrees warmer.
Suppose that water, like everything
else, had gone on contracting as 1t
cooled until 1t reached the freezing
point; the heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there be-
come ice. Although It is true that
eight pints Of water become nine pints
Of Ice, therefore icebergs float. show
ing above the surface an eighth Of
their bulk. still, had the water when at
the bottom turned into ice, the stones
would have locked 1t in their inter-
stices and held 1t there, and before
winter was over the whole pool would

ONCE A MONTH IS ENOUGH
A Sensible Talk About shampooing
Which Should Be Needed by
Every Woman.

Except for unusual conditions. not
even the most oily heads OF hair should
be shampooed often than once in two
weeks, and usually once a month Is
quite often enough. In the case OF very
dry hair even a longer interval-say
six weeks-iS good rule. In favora-
BILE weather sun baths are excellent for
the hair and so 1t is good plan to go
bareheaded as much as possible In
summer.
There is no better shampoo for the
hair than an egg. well beaten with
about an ounce of water and rubbed
thoroughly into the scalp, for It is not
merely detergent, cleansing the scalp
and hair of the dirt, but is tonic In its
effects and strengthens the scalp. The
yolk contains iron and sulphur-nat-
ural food for the hair; and the white,
being a milk alkali. mingles well with
the natural oil. II should be thor
oughly massaged into the scalp with
rotary motion, beginning in front over
the forehead and going back to the
crown, then forward to the temples and
back and forth. until the fingers Of the
two hands meet at the nape OF the
neck. The ends of the fingers (not the
nails) must press the scalp firmly but
gently, so that you will feel 1t move
under them.
The hair must be thoroughly rinsed.
first in warm water, then in cold. to
secure reaction. II the head can be
held under running water or sprayed
with a douche, SO much the better.
Long hair should be gathered up in
loose locks and we'll lathered and
rubbed between the palms before the
rinsing begins. Wipe the hair as dry
as possible in warm towels. In warm
weather, finish the task in the open
air and sunlight. Conclude with dry
massage and when every particle Of
moisture has evaporated rub in little
olive oil If the tendency of the scalp Is
to dryness.-Chicago American.

but 1t is also an indication that the re-
ceptacle is the very latest type, and
therein lies the attraction for the girl
who likes to be up-to-date In everything
that pertains to her wardrobe
Cretonne, that old favorite, is never
really crowded to the background by
newer fashioned fabrics, although some
seasons it may not be as conspicuous In
draperies and box coverings as in 9th
ers. The latest style of shoe box shown
in the accompanying illustration Is COW
cred with cretonne in deep cream and
pink tones and serves the double pur-
pose of use and ornament. The interior,
as is indicated, is divided into compart-
ments suited to different varieties Of
footwear and the lining matches the pre-
vailing tone Of the outside. Boxes such
as the two here portrayed are particu-
larly adapted for the country homes, az
they harmonic with the furnishings.

was ordered to advance to the assault.
So soon as the order was given the Sec
ond regiment rushed into the town,
shooting down all opposition and en-
gaging in q hand-to-hand encounter.
Veering around the men then stormed
the forts on Hwangkinshan. These were
one and and all occupied shortly after
four p. m. The Mixed brigade had in the
meanwhile carried Laolaitse by assault.
At this moment the strains Of military
music were heard coming from the pa
rade and drill ground Of one Of the
Chinese army divisions inside the town.
This was soon recognized as the music
Of the band belonging to the stan OF the
second army. They were playing the
grandly impressive national anthem OF
Japan; KIM ga 20. AS the triumphant
music echoed over the hard-fought field,
the Japanese troops gave vent to their
loyal enthusiasm in cheer upon cheer.
With regard to the forts west OF Hwang-
kinshan, the attack was now suspended,
the short autumn day being at an end.
The First division went into bivouac
just north of the town Of Port Arthur.

tion on the left The next day the Japa-

we'll as other materials, are so draped
as to form long, broad ends, and are
worn loose over the face. One Of the
novelties in wells is OF plain net with
a border OF graduated chenille dots.
This is also worn loose. Although this
style may be cooler. it does not pro-
tect the hair The made veil still
continues to be fayorite, and the cir
cular one is a novelty. Mousesline de
sole and chiffon are the best for au-
tomobiling and travelling. green and
brown being the popular colors. In
London the veil floating over the
shoulder is the favorite.
Fine cotton embroideries are more
fashionable than lace, although lace
is used for fancy designs, medallions
and ruffles. Many new designs are
shown. Old-fashioned trimmings are
appearing in modish gowns, such as
pinked ruffles. Suede is b-.ng used by
most exclusive dressmakers. leaf green
and orange being most popular. Passe-
menteries show leaf and fruit designs
Of vivid colors combined with gold.
Silk rings are used in the decorative
scheme, and some crocheted or button
holed in all sized. Many are worked
with gilt thread. They should either
be inserted in the material or they may
be placed in relief upon 1t. Circles are
cut out of broadcloth and the open
spaces filed with fancy worked rings.
Some Of the daintiest buttons are con-
structed of these rings.
Many thin materials are attractive
and inexpensive. A pretty summer
dress of white with sprays of apple
blossoms has a slightly gored full
skirt, shirred about four times around
the hips with three deep graduated
tucks and a deep hem at the bottom.
The waist is full blouse, with two
tucks across the bust to match the
skirt. From the neck a fitted lace
yoke forms deep bertha, which falls
to the waist line in points back and
front. Beginning at the neck of the
bertha are Ave small rosettes of liberty
satin with French knotted centers in
black. A deep crushed girdle to match
the rosettes is fastened to the waist.
The petticoat is Of thin white muslin,
with three narrow ruffles edged with
lace. These rufiies are put so as to
show through the spaces between the
tucks. The gown is long all around,
in the back. The wide, full
skirt gives plenty Of space for the
many tucks, ruffles and bands.
The shirt-waist suit in the picture
Is an excellent model for pongee,
linen or any Of the pretty
wash goods so fashionable just now.
The waist is in blouse effect, to be
worn over q chemisette Of lace. The
suit requires no trimming but machine
but in foulard or pongee a i
good effect is given, by using q COL
ored piping around the straps and I'm
ishing each point with silk-covered
button. The seven-gore skirt fits snug
ly around the hips with a decided flare
at the bottom.

on the advancing Japanese. But after
the fall OF the third fort, the first and
second were easily taken.
After the land forts had been success
sively captured. an attack was made on
the coast forts, the highest Of which
were those on Hwangkinshan. These
contained cannon Of very heavy calibre,
easily turned in any direction, whose
range included not only the inland forts,
but even those in the place occupied by
the Japanese artillery.
There was one gun In particular which
had greatly annoyed the besiegers at
long range. throwing shells in the d.
rection Of the Etseshan, Erhlungshan

A Lesson from the Flies.

It was in country school, and was
hearing my little second-reader class.
The lesson that day was a story about
flies. their curious ways and habits.
Among other things, the story said
that flies always kept their faces clean.
and then went on to tell how they
rubbed their feet over their heads. as
could often be seen by watching them.
The last thing in the lesson was the
question: what lessons can boys and
girls learn from the fiies?" l asked
the children to answer the question.
Only one small boy ventured an an
swer, and that was: ITO wash our
faces with our feet" Christian Reg
