THE BLESSED DAMSEL IN CAMP
My Blessed Girl came up one day to
my hemlock-scented heaven.
1t Jared her nerves, she said, to see
my dishes so uneven.
She started out to fix things UP, and
the schemes she had were seven.
1 called My Blessed Girl to see the
lovely mountain view
Wnere BOlQen sunsets Bllmmer ana
where the sky Is blue.
"Td stay and wash the Dishes" she
said, IF 1 were you"
I thought perhaps that might see her
in some bosky dell,
Or by some mountain spring, as stood
Rebecca at the we'll;
Instead I heard her ask q man II he had
eggs to sell.
I like to have my guns and rods all
scattered on the floor;
like to sit for half a day beside my
open door.
She said, We'll, goodness gracious!
Please don't do that any more;
ut let's in flies" Then I replied, Il
know what I'm about;
I catch them in tumbler-they're just
what 1 want for trout"
The tumblers look the part" she said; (;
you never wash them out"
I love the lonely mountain and I love
the leafy glade
love to lure the lurKsome trout that's
hiding in the shade;
But I don't love those true remarks the
Blessed Damsel made.
She only stayed a day, although 1t
seemd more like a year,
so filled it was with happiness, or
something very near.
Still, when she went I think perhaps
shed an almost tear.

"MetalljzoiS LaceS.

According to the Paris Cosmos, a
French company has been formed to
"metallize" embroideries, and wonder
full effects have been produced. Expert
ments have long been under way with
a number Of articles, such as flowers,
leaves and branches, but practical re-
suits with Iaces were only recently Sc
cured.
The laces are made conductors of an
electric current and placed in a gal
vanic bath. There they become coated
with an exceedingly delicate surface,
the colors of which can be regulated
at will.
The coating is so fine that not the
slightest irregularity can be noticed,
and the laces remain perfectly soft and
flexible. It makes no difference
whether gold, silver, copper, bronze or
other metals IRE employed.
The assertion is made that the metal
LIKED points, in spite of the thlnness of
the meal coating, can be united as if
soldered together, so that all sorts of
combinations are possible. These
metallic goods are used for table orna-
ments, decorating furniture coverings,

TASTE TELLS ONE LITTLE.
Unassisted by Sense Of Smell, Onions

Unassisted by Sense Of Smell, Onions
and Potatoes Are Alike.
"Do o really think that you can
distinguish the tastes of potatoes and
onfons?" was the unusual question
that Prof. Burtis Burr Breese asked
his psychology class at the University
of Cincinnati the other morning.
Il have yet to see the individual
who could tell them apart when they
were reduced to the same consistency
and when the Sense of taste only was
used"
At this point Miss Luella Latta, a
luember of the class, showed some evil
deuces of doubling, and the professor
asked her if she would not exhibit to
the class exactly how discriminating
her seuse of taste was.
He explained that he did not have
the potatoes and onions on hand, but
that he had something far more de-
cided in it's taste and quite as familiar
to most people.
Then Miss Latta was asked to step
up to the rostrum and when she was
seated Prof. Breesc told her that she
must not breathe tn rough her nose
that is, she must rely altogether on the
taste and that he was certain she
would be unable to distinguish the
three thing s that he then proceeded
to give her separately.
She failed, quite as the professor
predicted, and he then told the class
that Miss Latta had not been able to
tell wintersrreen from peppermint or
peppermint from cloves.
