vivid tones, such as green, orange, rose

startling effects. However, with the
new, striking tints, such as burnt to-
mato, onion brown and the peculiar
amethyst shadings, the self-tone gloves
must be employed, as no other colorina
seems to tone well with the suiting.
There seems to be no hard and fast
rule In the matter of length for street
gloves. American manufacturers are Of.
fering both one and two-button gloves,
and from Paris come quantities of the
three-button length. The one-button
glove can be worn only when the dress
and coat sleeve are very long. Neither

A MODERN
TALUS y -


T HE girls had come in from their
suburban home for q days shop
ring IN the great city and having salts
factorily finished their errands, found
themselves with an hour of leisure on
their hands before train time. Their
names were Alice Burton and Helen
Gray, aged, respectively, 16 and II, and
they were full of Astounding spirits, and
one of them at least was characterized
by all the thoughtlessness OF youth.
The brother of Alice accompanied them.
AS they were leaving one of the great
department stores they paused to admire
q wonderful display of fine brasses re-
Gently imported. The merchants were
advertising their wares in many ways,
and had procured the services Of the
Modern Talus, the Man of Brass" as
being particularly representative. The
brass man was seated upon a platform
in front of the store. He was young
fellow of about 20, and was entirely COW
cred with material closely resembling
brass. His motions were slow and me-
chanical, as Re initiated the movements
of figure r b by machinery. 1t was
really wonds Iul; not an eyelid Quiv-
cred.
"How does he manage it7" exclaimed
Alice.
IT don't believe he's real" said Helen.
"I'll bet you pound of candy that
can make him laugh" said Alice, in q
spirit Of mischief.
"Oh, don't" Helen demonstrated.
Somebody will see you"
Nobody in this crowd knows me, and,
besides, I'll be very careful I'm simply
dying to try it."
II think we had better go on. What
would yourmother think, and TOM" pru-
dent Helen said, warningly.
"Oh, Toni He never wants me to
do anything. See he's looking at us
now, so here goes" and thereupOn Alice
made face" of the most hideous and
laughter-inspiring kind.
The brass man was firm; the mechan-
lcal movement continued; not mus
Gle Of his face twitched.
"Now we must go on" Helen urged,
annoyed and worried, and earnestly
wishing she had not come to town with
thoughtless Alice,
"Just once more!" and again Alice
contorted her features in a hideous
grimace The effect was the same, so
she hurried on to join her friend who
had already started.
mot soul saw me, and you see 1t
didn't make bit of difference; besides,
It was such fun" remarked Alice, laugh
ing gleefully.
I'm afraid don't see anything very
funny about 1t, and we must hurry on
home" Helen replied.
The girls reached their homes in
safety, and possibly the incident would
have passed from their minds had not
Alice on the following afternoon received
missive that set her heart beating
wildly. 1t was written on very loud"
stationery, in a "fourishy" hand, and
ran thus:

Watch my clerks and you will see that

The shoe manufacturers evidently are
wise to this fact, as in the cartons the
right shoe is always packed on top. Once
/ had lot Of shoes come TO me with
the left shoe on top and 1t caused me so
much annoyance that | wrote to the
manufacturers, calling his attention to
the matter, so that it would not happen
again. The majority Of people are right
handed, yet left-handed person has the
right-foot habit. The right hand Is
larger than the left, as 1t is used more,
and consequently develops the muscles
to a greater extent. On the other hand,
the left foot Is larger than the right in
most persons. The difference is 30
slight that we seldom have trouble in fit
ting shoes, however 1t is the left shoe
that wears out before the right, and
probably for this reason"

THE INGENUITY OF TRAMPS
Manifested in Their Inventiveness
While Making Shift to Live
on the Road.

"Your reference to the hobo and the
tin can," said a traveller of wide ex-
perience, according 70 the New York
Sun, reminds me OF some Of the clever
things | have seen done by tramps.
One of them is the transformation OF
this same despised tin can into a very
ereditable frying pan.
When a hobo wants to fry piece
of meat he looks around for a suitable
tin can. If he can find a four-quart
can, he has exactly what he wants; If
not, two-quart can will answer.
with a stone he knocks off the top
and bottom pieces and unsolders the
cylinder part of the can, which Is made
of single piece of tin, This he rolls
out fat like sheet of paper. He has
only to turn up each edge about an
inch and clinch the ends to make
very decent pan.
"Tramps are often able to beg
small piece of meat from a butcher.
This, with few potatoes, makes a.
good meal, and it is no uncommon
sight to see a hobo sitting beside a
fire, watching his bit of beefsteak fry
ing in his self-made pan.
Men of this class are almost inva-
riably smooth-faced. | used to wonder
how they managed to keep their faces
clean until l scraped an acquaintance
with one of them by the roadside.
around his neck l noticed string,
and, wondering if hoboes wore charms,
l asked him what he carried on the
string. Much to my surprise he fished
up razor. Ny surprise was increased
when saw that it was in good condi-
ton.
"'How do you manage to keep 1t so
sharp?' l asked.
He smiled and pointed to his belt.
The side next his body had become a
fairly good strop through use.
But what do you do for a glass?
I inquired.
From his pocket he drew forth a
rectangular package, probably two by
three inches, wrapped in paper. He
took off the wrapper and showed me
q fine piece Of looking glass, placed
against block Of wood cut to fit. The
wood was to keep the glass from break
Ing.
There are many clever things they
do, and, despite their ragged appear
ance, many Of them are expert with the
needle. In fact, that is the only rear
son why their clothes don't go to pieces
altogether. If only their energy equaled
their sharpness, many of them would
rank high in the best trades and pro-

Of its kind known to horticulture. II
came into Mrs. Cottrells possession
when It was II years Of age, up to
which time It never bloomed. But she
began to care for and feed 1t with thu
result that 1t bloomed that year. The
following year it was nonproductlve,
but each year since that time 1t has
borne a number Of flowers, some years
having as many as six well-developed
blossoms besides a number Of buds
The characteristic of this species OF
plant Is they only bloom at night.
Usually they open as soon as it has be-
come thoroughly dark In the evening,
or about nine o'clock, and remain open
until about two o'clock in the morning,
when the bloom begins the slow proc
ess of folding it's petals forever, which
requires about two hours. Two years
ago the plant developed freak by one
bloom remaining open constantly for
80 hours. The flower opened one even
ing about six o'clock. The evening was
dark and rainy. The following day
developed the same kind Of weather
and exceptionally heavy clouds lined
the heavens during the entire day.
With the approaching dawn the deli
cate bunch of fragrance showed no
signs of its passing During the day
hundreds of persons viewed the re-
markable freak Of nature, which re-
NAMED open until about two o'clock
the following morning This year It
has borne three blooms and the fourth
one shows signs Of opening.

that 1t ia not the telescope stars them
selves which produce the effect, but
something projected on the foreground
OF the sky. That something is the earth's
shadow. The supposed nebulae," con-
tnues Mr. Adams, ARE all shadows. and
this explains their contempt for the
laws Of gravitation and their refusel to
conform to the globular shape assumed
by celestial objects generally. They are

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
SCOTS EmulSionisth emod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophoS-
phites in Scott'S Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Idaho Flour In Demand.

Jacob Schwalbach, proprietor of
the flouring mills here, has received
an order for 10000 barrels of flour
from j. W. Sumpter & Co, of oak
land, Cal. The order will embrace 36
carloads and the mill will be kept
running steadily for three months,
night and day The first carloads
will be sent out this week.
1t is noted that the Idaho flour is
now securing n market In all Sec
tions of the United States and the
milling industry with each year is In
creaslng in Importance. This assures
for the farmer a higher price for the
better grades of wheat than can be
secured on the open grain market.
The Schwalbach mills turn out a
splendid grade of flour and this ac-
counts for the big order just received.
