FAD FOR RUSSIAN ANTIQUES
Craze Started About Ten Years Ago
Reaches Height-Factories
Supplying Demand.

Among the more recent fads is one for
Russian antiques, and more particularly
those of copper and brass, writes Bertha
Smith, in Four-Track News. The fad
started perhaps ten years $50 when
American travellers began to bring home
from Russia certain pieces gathered on
their journeys to the land of the car.
AS usual, it was slow of growth and has
only in the past year or two reached its
height. That it Las reached It's height
is evidenced. by the fact that the factories
in Russia have turned their attention to
supplying the demand; and, since it Is
known that Americans, as rule, use the
pieces merely as ornaments. there is a
cheapening of the quality, and, unfortu-
nately. an attempt to vary the design in
order to present novelties, with the re-
suit that the value and beauty of the
original style is being sacrificed. The
same thing has happened in the Turkish
rugs and draperies. In Chinese and
Japanese bronzes, cloissonne and porce-
lains; in fact, wherever any have
thought to cater to American trade.

Queer Effects Of Sunshine.

Every one knows that the heat of the
sun will expand iron and steel Steven
sons tubular bridge over the Menai
straits is 400 feet long. The heaviest
train passing over it bends it just half
an inch, yet on July day, after the sun
has been shining on it for several hours,
1t is found to be bent an inch and half
below its usual horizontal line. The
heat of the sun acts on stone as well as
metal, a fact which is proved by the
Washington monument. It is 555 feet
high, but it will be found to be about
two inches higher in the evening than
in the morning of a sunny day. A
strange effect of sunshine was noted at

HIPPoPoTAMUs HUNTING.
Big Came Bagged by African Hunters.
Is in Great Demand as
Butchers Meat.
0OICAGt


A hunter of big game In Africa
writes; "Hippopotamus hunting. as a
rule, Is not exciting, except from a
canoe or boat, where the animal has d
chance of turning the tables. II a
clean shot is made he sinks like q
stone and beyond few bubbles on the

rises to the surface, belly up, in from
one to four hours. One can generally

he sees bobbing up, irrespective OF dis
tancesor position. The vulnerable spot
is the brain, and it is advisable To wait
for q. side shot, when bullet an the
neighborhood Of the ear will ssarely
find it."
+ This hunter, says, the Chicago Daily
News, writes further: When we
camped on the Kafue schools Of from
ten to- thirty hippopotami were found
together, but after being disturbed sev-
eral times theys shifted to al huge

COULDN'T USE THE EMBLEM
Sale of Book Prohibited Because
Mikado's Flag Was on

The sale of a book about Japan has
received check in Japan because on
the cover was printed flag showing a
chrysanthemum with particular num-
Der of petals, reports the LondonC hron-
iele. G
The flag was imprinted on the book
back for no other reason than that it
looked pretty. 1t, however, happens to
be the flag of the emperor, or mikado
and is something like high treason to
use 1t.

| was asked dozens of times if it was
the Cuban flag.
Even people who think they know the
British flag don't really know it. The
British merchant shipping fag-red
with the jack in the corners accept
ed by thousands of Americans as the
British flag, and they areadisposed to
argue with you when you say it isn't.
In the old days, when Theebaw was
king of Burmah, and Col. Sladen was
British resident at Mandalay, there was
perpetual feud between the court and
the residency becausein the hot weather
Col. Sladen insisted on carrying white
umbrella to shield him from the sun.
The only person in Burmah who had
ever carried a white umbrella gor-
geous and infinitely superior to the
humble CAMP which served the resi-
dents purpose-was the king. l rather
fancy it was Col. Sladen's white UNI
brella that precipitated matters which
led to the deposition of King Theebaw.

MOUSE MUDDLED WITH WINE
Small Creature Got Hilarious, But
Mistress Pussy Ended
His Fun. ga

Generally when mouse, or a rat
sees its mortal enemy, the cat, it is
filled with an almost paralyzing ter
ror," observed the man who lives In
the suburbs, according to the New

condition of the mouse. At any, rate,

gobbled it down. That the mouse was
unable to recognize it's natural foe was
because the mouse was intoxicated
with wine-strange as that may seem.
1--WE had been bothered recently by
mice in our cellar. Our cat, with the
proper spirit toward mice, had spent
a lot of time trying to catch one, but
it was SO easy for a little mouse TO
scamper where cat could not follow

heard q crash, as of broken glass, in
the cellar.

wine said to my wife.
"a few minutes later we heard a
series of sQueaks from the cellar. AT
first we didn't pay much attention to
them, but when they continued the
curiosity of the family, and especially
of the cat, was stirred. So the cat an !
entered the cellar. There, on the
floor, was the fallen bottle, smashed to
fragments. Beside it, perched on his
hind legs, a mouse was uttering joy
full squeaks and occasionally dipping
his head to take a drink out of a
puddle of wine on the floor.
.'Mr. Mouse had drunk so much that
he was friendly with all the world.
Instead of running away he just gave
