Surgeon Wasdin of the Public Health and

second in the markets of the world. There
are 400 pounds Of reeled silk now on hand

The main question now in making the In

OF course the department is paying maxi
mum prices for cocoons, and is also paying
highly for labor in winding. But 1t has

American ingenuity In evolving labor saw

contemplation that probably will reduce the

DESERVING Charity,

Henry James at the conclusion of
one of his lectures on Balzac told an
anecdote about the great French
novelist.
"Balzac was walking with a
friend" he said, when a beggar ap-
preached and asked for little mon
ey.
"This beggar had red nose, he
was unkempt, he smelt Of absinth,
and the dull look of his eyes indicat-
ed that he already had drunk that
day more absinth than was good
for him.
"Nevertheless Balzac, with a
pleasant smile and word Of en-
couragement, handed the man a
franc.
"Why did you do that ? said the
novelist's companion. Surely you
know that man is not deserving
"It is because he was not de-
serving that gave to him. said
Balzac. There is no real charity in
giving money to the deserving. 1t
is only cold blooded performance
of DUTY"

The DARK AMERICANS.

No one could have attended the
,lass day of Columbia college with
out being struck by the prevalence
of dark young men. Out Of l2O or
so there were two with hair Of fiery
red and three with fiaxen locks-iiye
blonds in all. The rest were either
decidedly dark, looking in their
black gowns like Young priests in
Rome, or were darkish brown of
hair and eyes.
A study of names and faces re-
vealed French, Welsh, Flemish,
Spanish and Jewish derivation in
many cases, but perhaps majority
were native Americans by many
generations and of the native Amer
can tint-dark brown.
The professors. older men, show
a much larger proportion Of blonds.

The Cute Oklahoma Woman.

The women Of the Yankee states
may think that they are clever at
driving bargains, but the claim is
made here now without evasion or
equivocation that in Guthrie lives a
woman without a parallel for com
mercial wit. Several months ago
she entered large department store
in New York city to buy a yard of
silk, which the clerk told her would
cost her 35 cents. Her purchase
left a remnant of one and onc-half
yards. The clerk suggested that
she buy the remnant. "What will
you take for it, asked the Guthrie
woman. Twenty cents, madam" )"
replied the clerk politely. "Well,
I'll take it, but you can keep the
yard you've just torn off" The clerk
was staggered for a moment, but,
appreciating the humor Of the pro-
posal, smilingly made the exchange.
Not the least merit of this story is
that it is true.-kansas City Times.

Lady Curzon's Wonder Gown.

Lady Curzon is the recipient of a
veritable wonder gown. 1t has sat
istied her eXacting fancy to the full
and caused a stir in blase London.
1t was sent to her by an Indian
rajah and is composed of $4,000
wing cases of Indian beetles. They
are sewn upon a silken robe and
lend a shimmering iridescence to
the flowing folds of the garment. No
wonder she describes it as dream,
for its coloring and texture is al
most as elusive as the fabric that
dreams are made of. Nearly every
woman who has beheld the marvel
has broken the commandment
against covetousness, and, though
many have tried to duplicate it,
their efforts have been in vain. Both
because of the rarity of the wings
and of the difficulty of ahixing them
such a gown can only be fashioned
by years of work.

ALL OVER THE ABUSE.
Directions For Keeping Furniture IN
Good Condition.

The care of furniture woods is an
interesting part OF the intelligent
housekIepcr's dutics. The daily
light d..sting must supplement thl
weekly rubbing if the bloom, in this
instance not desirable, is to be kept
AWAY. rs Il rule the use of any re-
ftoraiIye is to be deprecated. I'm
less applied by a tireiess arm and
thoroughly rubbed in and thereafter
the piece Of furniture kept in per-
feet polish by a daily rubbing the
oil is sure to form crust sooner or
later which is gummy to the touch
and not pleasing to the eve.
New furniture should be kept as
long as possible without the use of
such rcstoratiyes. Furniture which
has been finished with shcllac or var
nish, whether in glossy or dull fin
fish, should never be cleansed with
soap and water. Soap is made to
cut oily substances and thus eats out
the oil from the waXcd, oiled or
sheIlacked surface and works de-
struction. If an oil restorcr seems
a necessity raw linsced oil and raw
turpentine in equal parts applied on
a piece of chccsccloth will be found
most often of service.

Setting Hens In Hot Weather.

Many experienced poultrymeu
feel that it is almost useless to try
to raise broods of chicks in very hot
weather, SO apt are the eggs to spoil
before they can be hatched.
But an old, old lady who has been
in the business for years declares
that perfect success is attained by
setting the hen directly upon the
ground. She scoops out little hol-
low in the earth and places the eggs
in it without a particle of straw
around or beneath them. A shelter
is provided Of course.
She says the hen suffers less from
heat or lice, and if the eggs have
been fresh to start with every one
of them will be hatched even in the
hottest weather. = National Maga-

COIN WASHINGTON PAID.

OF especial interest is half Mex
lean silver doiar which Dr. Carlisle
has in keeping for Woirord college.
1t is a half dollar with which Cen
eral George Washington paid for his
breakfast in Lancaster county when
he made tour of the south in 1921.
The father of his country declined
private hospitalitics on this trip
and insisted on paving for all he
got. When On his way back north
he stopped at the home Of a pa
triotic family in Lancaster county,
who wished to place all they had at
his di-po-al, bat he insisted on pay
ing for his breakfast, which con-
sisted OF a bowl of porridge, piece
OF toast ard "a cup Of coffee, with
the half of a Mexican dollar. The
half coin was given to the daughter
Of the family, who treasured it until
her death at an old age, when she be-
qucathcd it to a friend, and he in
turn presented it to DR.. Carlisle for
Wollord college. The coin is of es-
pecial value, as | understand that

China Saves All but Time,

A Chinese youngster has slight
foothold in the world and in his
earliest days is initiated into that
economy in all things which be-
comes his lifelong habit.
y friend of mine had this fact
impressed upon him one day as he
stood at the door of a cody hiring
establishment bargaining for some
men for transport work. When he
talks he always lets his pipe go out,
lights it again, lets it 60 out again,
and so on, as long as he is engaged.
This day The process consumed
the fire ends of many matches, and
he threw aside the sticks but little
burned. suddenly he CHANGED to
turn around and saw small boy, in
whose countenance was written
great joy, standing with eight or
ten match sticks in his hand and
waiting eagerly for the next. He
wanted them to take to his mother
as an addition to the family fuel
supply. - Broughton Brandenburg

A Bio Fish Story,

When the last foot of the cable
to Alaska was laid many months
ago, there was much satisfaction ex-
pressed over the fact that communi-
cation with Alaska was up to date
But last fall that same precious
cable stopped working entirely be-
tween Valdez and Seattle. Nobody
could account for the stoppage, and
a crew had to be sent out to fish
up the cable and see what was the
matter. 1t was whale, a dead one,
caught by the jaws in the cable
and held down until he drowned.
That is probably the very biggest
fish story of the century, but it hap
pens to be absolutely true.

Take clean hot water-as hot as

board until every part has been
soaped and rubbed, wiring with a

ing water and hang up to dry. 1t
must be done eXpeditiously. Never
put flannels into water that cotton
clothes have been washed through,
as fine lint is there, such as one
sees on the bluing water. That will
sink into the fannels, make them
hard and shrink them.

Mr.. Edison's Watch.

To Mr.. Edison time is so valuable
that he does not waste it even by
taking account of it. Time to him
is only the chance to get things
done, and no matter how long it
takes they must be got done. In
his Office safe there is carefully
locked away a $4,000 Swiss watch,
given to him by European scien-
tiGc society. 1t is never used. He
buys a stem winder costing dollar
and half, breaks the chain ring off,
squirts oil under the cap of the
stem, thrusts it into his trousers
pocket, and never looks at it. When
it gets too clogged with dirt to run,
he lays it on laboratory table, hits
it with a hammer and buys another.
