such as to authorize the calling out o.

THE BODY OF THE SUN.
In It's Density IL Resembles some-
what a Globe of Tar.

In It's Density IL Resembles some-
what a Globe of Tar.
II is generally agreed that the main
body OF the sun-the nucleus within
the photosphere-must be purely CASE
Gus. This seems to be an unavoidable
conclusion from the suns low mean
density and its tremendous INTERNAL
temperature, which must almost cer'
tainly be far higher than that OF lts
outer surface, so high that even tne
enormous force of solar gravity Is able
to compress the vapors to density on
" one and four-tenths that OF WATER
although among the constituent eie-
ments are many Of the metals Qron De-
ing the most conspicuous) which In
the solid or liquid state are from thres
TO eight times as dense. The reader
must not imagine, however, that tnls
gaseous nucleus is like air or other
gases as we encounter them upon the
earth. Denser than water and strong
" yiscous from the heat, it more re-
sembles a globe Of tar except near the
outside. There the vapors relieved
from pressure are free to expand and
TO cool both by the expansion and py
radiating heat to outer space In re-
gion Of powerful currents, ascending
descending and cyclonic.
The photosphere or luminous surface
is generally believed to be what ir
looks like-a sheet Of clouds envelopin2
the nucleus and consisting Of minute
drops and crystals formed from those
vapors which condense at the highest
temperatures. These clouds float in an
atmosphere composed Of the perma-
nent gases like hydrogen and helium
mixed with the more numerous vapoSs
which condense only at far lower tenn
peratures than those that form the
clouds. AS to the substances which
compose the cloud particles, opinions
are unsettled.-Professor @. A. Young
In Harper's Weekly.

THE COOKBOOK.

Salt In the oven under baking tins
will prevent pastry scorching on the
bottom.
II It Is desired to keep cakes moist
out them in a stone jar. II crisp cakes
are preferred use tin as receptacle.
When weighing molaeses sprinkle the
scale well with -four, and then 1t Will
slip off again quite easily without stick
ing.
The best way to mash potatoes is to
rub them through a wire sieve. You
can then be sure there are no Jumps
left.
For luncheon or supper serve the
bread and butter In the form OF sand
wiches. Cut the bread thin and re-
move part Of the crust. Cut In strips
after buttering or in rounds with bis
cult cutter.
By cutting old potatoes into very
email balls, allowing them to soak for
three or four hours In cold water, then
boiling in cold salted water and sery-
ing with cream sauce, very good sub
stitute for new potatoes Is obtained.

A Queen on All Fours.

The queen regent of Swaziland Is a
lady who is very conscious of her regal
Importance. She weighs 30S pounds.
She wears bracelets and headbands OF
sacred wood, and her hair Is dragged
up over a basket frame. On the occa-
sion Of the interview she received her
guests on "all fours." She settled to en-
10y the society Of her visitors lying
face downward on a mat. She slipped
Kaffir beer out of a ginger beer bottle
and freely partook Of snuff. The snun
caused her to sneeze violently, and a
handful of leaves was brought, which
her majesty used as a handkerchief.
Beer in bowls was then brought Tor
the guests. The queen wiped round
the rim of each with her hands and
presented one to each person.
At the conclusion Of the interview
her majesty was presented with a SOW
ereign. which she eagerly clutched and
deposited in a stocking which hung al
her side. The boy king was made quite
happy by being given a new half
crown. He was told that on 1t was the
picture Of the big white king, while ht
was the little black king.-Londor

Bishop Ellison Capers of South Caro-
lima recently addressed a meeting OF
Confederate veterans in Columbia.
In the course Of his address Bishop
Capers spoke of those men who deceive
their wives, pretending that they are
detained late at their offices on business,
when really they are spending the
evening at the theater or the club.
"These men," he said, "are fewer
than the comic writers Of the press
would have us believe; but, neverthe-
less, here and there they do exist l
wish that they could all be caught as
nicely as one Of them, a resident OF
Columbia, was caught the other day.
"He said to his wife as he was leav-
ing home in the morning:
"'Oh, by the way, my dear, II l IND
I can't get away from the works in
tine for dinner tonight I'll send you q
note by a messenger
"The wife in tart tone replied:
"'You needn't bother. l have already
found the note in your coat pocket"

The Portraits of Christ.

Sir Wyke Bayliss, F. S. A., president
of the Royal Society Of British Artists,
has written in the London Guardian
recently disproving Of objections put
forward against the faithfulness OF
the pictures of Christ. He shows that
when the graves of the first Christian
martyrs were opened they were found
to contain portraits Of Christ, and the
likeness they disclose is the likeness
as we know it today. The frescoes In
the Roman catacombs, the Greek
enamels, the engraved sacramental
cups in use in the earliest Christian
times, the p enc race ciotns
of the dead IN the first century, all
show the SANG likeness, and it is iden-
tical with that painted by Michael An
gelo.

WOMEN MAKE PAPER MONEY
Even Guides at Bureau of Engraving
aud Printing Are Girls.

Even Guides at Bureau OF EngraVinB
and Printing Are Girls.
The government and the banks and
even the postoffices would be in a hole
for a time If all the women In the bu-
reau of engraving and printing should
drop dead all at once That shop
would have to close up pretty quick.
Why, you can't even go over there ana
look around without a woman to snow
you. All the guides to the bureau Tor
the benefit of tourists and other igno-
rant people, which includes all WASH
ington people, for Washington people
are the most ignorant people on earth
about washington institutions-all the
guides, and there are seven OF them,
are women, young women and pretty
women at that.
And how the people do visit there!
Three thousand a week, said a GUIDE
That's 500 a day. And that's one
minute for every working hour OF the
day. Pretty constant stream OF call
ers that!
Not so many years ago three de-
crepit old men were the guides. Now
the seven are women, which is signiti-
cant, and one that typifies the work
done in the bureau, for here OF the
5000 employees more than half are OF
the feminine persuasion.
These young and good looking guides
will explain how American money ls
printed on the back, then put In colu
storage, where 1t goes through dry
ing process; then sorted and the imper-
feet sheets thrown out, then printed on
the face and then perforated and put
up in packages to be sent to the treas
ury for the government seal.
They generally tell how useless IL
would be for any one to try to rob the
wagon containing this money-in the
| first place, because six guards always
accompany it, and, in the second place.
because the money at this stage OF IT'S
manufacture wouldn't be any gooo
anyway.
"It is seven days after bill is print
ed on its back before 1t is printed on
the face" said this visitors guide. III
takes thirty days to make a silver dol
lar bill and forty to make gold one'
The gold one is printed three times
twice on one side, because 1t has 70
have the word gold and little splotcn
of gold on this side before the face can
be printed"
Then she led the visitor to the framed
dollar bills fastened to one Of the walls
in the hall and showed these bills, call
ing special attention to the gold Ger
tificate, and then led the way back tC
the front door and said adieu. 1t was
all over In ten minutes.-Washingtor

Italics In Newspapers.

Italics have been abolished very re-
Gently i'm one of the leading London
dailies. A writer comments on the
change as follows: ANY one who
knows what he wants to say and how
to say it can find enough words In the
English language for his purpose. Our
purpose, at any rate, is to try to convey
our meaning without banging our read
ers in the eye. The great days of ital-
les were in the thirties Of the last CEN
tury. when the London Figaro began
its criticisms of politics, the drama
and society. Then every other word
was italicized, and the effect today is
as though every other word were a
shrek. Until the eighties women re-
tanned the habit of undermining all but
the propositions and conjunctions In
their letters, and there are still many
women journalists who cannot gel
along without the stimulus OF Italics
But in reality q writer needs italics
about as often as he needs a Turkish
BATH"

U.inr His Fathers Weapons.

A young man, In the first place,
makes a great mistake In trying to nj
his fathers helmet upon his head and
cover his chest with his fathers coat
of mail and unsheathe his fathers
sword for the battle Of life merely be-
cause they once belonged to his father.
When a man has made big success
as a minister or lawyer or doctor or
artist or musician or merchant or me-
chanic, that does not necessarily prove
that his boy is fitted by mental and
physical temperament to walk In bis
fathers footsteps. And yet, strange
| to say, we find many fathers almost
compelling their unwilling boys to be
doctors or lawyers or even ministers or
merchants because they themselves
have made successes in those profes'
sions or businesses. And we also find
many young men forcing themselves to
take up line Of life work for which
they are entirely untitled merely be-
cause their fathers won fame and for
