A Question of Temperance.

The late Judge Meslck was very
fond of tabasco sauce, and in travel
ing around the primitive towns of
Nevada he carried his private bottle
with him. He was In a restaurant
one day with his private bottle of
tabasco in front of him when a stran-
ger came along and sat down In the
adjoining seat. He ordered a steak,
and when it was placed in front of
him he appropriated the Judges bot
tie and emptied half the contents
over his steak The Judge quietly
drew his bowie knife, which he con-
cealed under his napkin, ready for
any emergency. In another moment
the stranger was out on the curb
coughing like volcano. 1t took him
fifteen minutes to get himself organ

into the restaurant

The Peculiar Picture Hat.

Evening hats gain in brilliancy with
the advancing season. A fad of the
hour is the picture hat which shows
one couor beneath the brim and a star
our color beneath the brim and a
striking contract above it. A notable
example is hat mode for winter
pride to wear at her first theatre par
~. The material is imported felt as
soft and supple as silk. The top of
the hat, including brim and soft Tam
OShanter crown, is of an exquisite
shade of lavender, while the facing of
the brim in the same supple felt IS
contrasting yet entirely harmonious
shade of pale blue. The hat is
trimmed with shaded feathers tonins
into the lavender of the felt. Shaded
ieathers predominant in all evening
1ats, and except at the opera. the
women in the box parties are justified
n retaining the beautiful chapeaux,
which are most as we'll worth study

dainty embroidered silk or chiffon
scarf is draped around the head, then
the couture is finished off with some
ornament which suggests jewels or

gold braid or they are embroidered in
tiny seluins

The Striped Meadow Cricket.

In the American Naturalist j. l..
Hancock gives an interesting descrip-
ton of some of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals
with the allurments which the male
crickets possess. When he wishes to
attract the female the male cricket
raises his fore wings vertically above
his head, and by rubbing them over
one another produces a high pitched
singing, or perhaps better, shrilling.
When the females attention has been
attracted she goes to the male and
proceeds to take advantage of the re-
freshments offered. Upon the males
back, situated we'll forward on the
thorax, is little depression or well
in which a small quantity of semi
fluid material is seereted Climbing
up on the males back, the female
eats this apparently delicious morsel
with great eagerness; it is evidently
something especially choice, which is
formed there for her especial bene-
fit. This proceeding suggests that
treating as a means of winning a
lady's love is not confined to the al
lurements of ice-cream and soda wa

In Collision With a Sea Cow


Tuesday morning L. D. Pitcher and
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs
Charles S. Rieman, started in their
row and sailing boat Lulu for the in
let with a favorable northwest wind
and were sailing along nicely, round
ing Bethune Point, mile south or
town, when there was a very sudden
and violent collision with a large sea
rev, which the boat must have struck
crosswise about in the middle.
1t was feeding on the bottom in
about five feet of water. and it is
needless to say that it was probably
as much surprised as were the occu,
pants of the boat, as it made great
connection, lifting the front end Of
the boat out of the water and throw
ing several pals of water into the
boat with its broad fiat tail, and thor
oughly wetting the occupants, but
otherwise there was no damage done
and they were very glad that the boat
was not upset and they spilled out in
the water.
The COW is timid and harmless, but
very large and powerful. 1t seems
that point is favorite feeding

there often.-Daytona Halifax Jour

A Fortune in Dressmaking.

She won't make the simplest linen

she charges for a gown is $3.50.
"She is college girl. Twelve years
ago she was reporter on a morning
paper, covering the board of education,
women's clubs and SO on, wearing
shabby clothes and earning, suppose,
SIS a week. She was too clever, far
too clever, for such work, yet she stuck
to her paper for two years and never
an inch did she advance.
'.She had always liked dressmaking.
She had always had good taste. Now,
in despair, she took course in cutting
and fitting, and she interested in her
idea one of the rich women whom she
had met in her news-gathering among
the clubs.
with this woman's help she opened
a small dressmaking shop in good
neighborhood. Success seemed hard to
achieve at first, but she liked the work
and she got in time the patronage oil

THE VIOLET COLOR OF OLD
GLASS.
A Curious Change That Occurs After
the PASSAGE of Time.

the Passage OF Time.
In many old buildings one sees win
dow panes which have turned pale
amethyst color. Manganese is added
to the glass to neutralize the green
color which is caused by the presence
of ferrous iron, and, in the course of
time, this manganese changes from
It's colorless state, and, turning violet,
gives its hue to the old glass. 1t has
been observed that radium will cause
this change in glass when its rays are
allowed to act for only a short time.
The suggestion has been made that
the turning of glass under ordinary
circumstances is due to the action of
the minute quantities of radioactive
minerals which are present in many
localities
Sir William Crookes has been max
ing study of these phenomena and
concludes that the change in glass is
not due to -radium. The suns rays
possess all the powers of radium rays
only in a vastlv smaller degree He
believes that the ng-continued ac-
ton of the sunlight in the cause of
the change noticed in the color of
glass. 1t was shown some years ago
that some of the suns rays are pre-
vented from reaching the earth by
the blanket of the earih's atmosphere,
and these rays which are taken away
are the ones most active in effecting
such changes as the one in glass. A
striking confirmation of this is af-
torded by the fact that the most rapid
coloring has been observed at high
elevations in tropical regions Here
the layer of the atmosphere is thinner
and the suns rays more powerful
Some especially deeply colored speci-
mems of glass have been found in
South America in the region of the
Andes.-Collier Weekly.

Do Not Overeat and You Will Feel

If it is desired to begin the week re-
freshed and ready for labor, rested in
mind and body, the eating customs Of
Sunday will have to be readjusted.
Have later breakfast, if desired, but
have then very light one even If you
are hungry, or, if it must be hearty,
then do not upset your digestive hab-
its any more than may be avoided and
have but two meals on that day and
eat no other. 1t would be far better to
have three light meals, lighter than
usual, if that could be arranged to fit
with the other household arrangements.
The custom of noon dinner on that day
arises from the usual absence of cook
or maid at the later one, and this may
be unavoidable. Very well, then; treat
this as a rest day for cook and diges-
tive apparatus as we'll as from other
labors. Have light breakfast, a light
dinner and a chatting dish supper as
near the ordinary hours of meals as
possible and remember as you are 60

A Joke on the "Prophet."

Some time in the thirties of the last
century Prophet Joseph Smith, Sr., the
Mormon, and party of his followers
were proselyting In Muskingum coun-
ty, o. He appointed a certain day
when he would show the people his
wonderful powers and that he was
second Christ by walking on the wa
ters of Mud creek. The water was
always muddy. A day or two before
the time set grandmother's brother
Robert and couple Of neighbor boys
were accidentally attracted to the
Mormons working at the creek and.
concealing themselves, watched the
Mormons put down stakes and put
planks on them from bank to bank
the plank resting about six inches I'D
der water. After the Mormons left
the boys went down and took out the
center plank, where the water was
about ten feet deep. The next day
Balaam Smith came down to the creek
and, after a long eXhortation, started
across the creek. He was all right
and on top till he came to the center,
where his powers" seemed to leave
him, and he went to the bottom. This
was the end of Mormonism in that
county.
