the strikers. This is most Indignantly
denied by the authorities, who protest
most earnestly that they regret that the

Of Edward H. Hartman and Winslow
S. Pierce, the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road company and the Equitable Trust
company, for writ of certiorari to the

have been a complete restitution of

ton.

will be to cause q review of the entire
case by the supreme court.

WHY Scan. Eaters Eat Soap.

Mr.. Charles S. Howe, the General
Secretary of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. said
at 4 dinner Of scientists:
False science, the Notwithstanding
method, with its explanations that ex-
plain nothing and help us in no wise,
may be illustrated, perhaps. with a
little episode that I heard of the other
day.
"a student went to his instructor and
said:
"I am informed. sir, that people are
sometimes born with q desire to eat
soap
THAT is quite truc,' the instructor
answered.
"'What is the cause of it" asked the
student.
"'These people, was the reply, are
the victims of sappessomania.'
"'What does sappesomania mean,
professor the student said.
"'It MEANS the professor answered,
q desire to eat soap.'"-Bufralo En-
Quirer.

sabots on the cobblestones sound like
the echo of a cavalry charge.
The GILES have each q straw basket
hanging to one side from the belt, and
filled with oranges. With these they
lombard the spectators as they dance
along. AS soo as emptied, the bas-
kets are filled again by men from be-
hind. appointed for this duty. A gen.
eral battle of oranges then takes place
between the GILES and the carnival
merrymakers. Finally the procession
reaches the town hall, in front of which
is seated. on q platform, the mayor,
surrounded by the municipal officials.
The GILES then terminate the days
festivities by a general war dance,
giving a prolonged exhibition of their
capabilities. The public likewise
joins in the fun, and soon some five
thousand persons-men. women and
~children-may be seer gayly Waiting

Of an entire population, dressed in
carnival costume, and masked, dane
ing in the open air to the music Of the
Giles brass band, is n not easily
forgotten. The dancing continues un-
til the late evening, when the sport
is brought to an end by the mayor,
who formally awards a gold medal to
the Gille who has proved himself the
most expert dancer.-New York Tri-

The GIAnTEss ROSA WEDs1ED.

The subject of the accompanying IL
lustration is q Finnish maiden of twen-
ty-four years, Rosa Wedsted, native OF
a village near Helsingfors. She has al
ready attained the respectable height
of seven feet two inches and Is still
growing.
Neither her parents nor any of her
four sisters and brothers are above
the average height, and until her sixth
year no intimation was given that she
would exceed the stature Of the nor
nal human being. From that year she
made rapid progress, and by the time
she had reached her fourteenth year
she had attained the astonishing height
of five feet eve inches. Since then
she has been mounting upward slowly,
having in the last ten years added
about one foot seven inches, with undi-
minished tendency skyward. The Pc
culiarity concerning her growth seems

est Of these popular customs. This
festival takes place on Mardi-Gras
at the Binche, a town Of Hainaut. The
carnival of Binche has always been
held in high repute by Belgians. but
without its GILES it would not be sub
stantially different from that of Rome,
Nice and other towns.
These GILES, or dancing men. who
form the glory Of the Binche carnival,
are characterized BY their headdresses
and humps. The headdress is most
elaborate and striking. In shape it re-
sembles the oldtime top hat of our
great-grandfathers. The hat is sur
mounted with magnificent ostrich
feathers from three to four feet in
length, which give TO the wearers the
appearance of giants. From each hat,
besides. flow several wide, variegated
ribbons, while the Giles trousers are
bedecked with trimmings of real lace
and ribbons to match those of the hat.
Every Gille wears q mask and q Silk
belt, from which hangs small bells.
The entire Giles outfit costs from
$40 to $50. a large sum for the peasant
youths, generally selected by the carni-
val committee to fill the part Of act
ors in the Mardi-Gras festivals. The
honor of being a Gille is so great. how
ever, among the gay lotharios of Bin
che, and carries such prestige with
the local damsels, that the young men
chosen by the committee are only too
pleased to make the financial sacri-
flee demanded Of them.
In the afternoon of Mardi-Gras the
GILES, in full uniform, two hundred
strong, preceded by the local brass
bands and musical clubs, appear in
procession and march toward the
Grande Place. The sight thus offered
is unique in the annals of carnival
rejoicings. The GILES proceed by
dancing to the tune of the band just
mentioned. At every few steps they
stop, bend and unbend, to heighten
the effect of the ringing from the
bells worn at their belts. Their
steamers float to and fro, and en-
velop them in a rainbow Of ribbon. At
the same time the simultaneous ring,

Washing Curtains.

If they are thin, madras, bobbinet,
muslin or Nottingham, they should be
free of dust, washed in warn suds,
squeezing and having up and down i'll
place Of rubbing. boiled, rinsed, blued
or yellowed, lightly starched while still
wet, and dried as quickly and as
straight as possible. Do not iron, but
haste broadish hens at top and bottom
and run into each a stout, implanted
curtain pole as long as the curtain is
broad. Stretch the curtain smooth
upon the pole at each end, then hang
up, sprinkle well and let dry. The
weight of the lower pole straightens
and smooths it.
Repeat until all the curtains are dry,
then rip out the hens and press lightly
with a warm, not hot, iron. If there
are wrinkles or cat faces after hang
ing the curtains wet those spots and
pull down hard upon them. Usually
they dry out as smooth as need be.
Ruf1ed curtains can have the rufles
1uted after coming off the pole. If
banging is impossible, simply stretch
the curtains between the two poles.
Take care that the poles are smooth
md stout enough not to spring.
Real lace curtains after washing can
be pinned out upon sheets spread upon
the floor. tedious work, but worth
while. Pin the corners first. drawing
them perfectly square, then stretch
every scallop in line with the corners
and pin it fast. After all are pinned
60 over the whole curtain with a damp
cloth, patting it hard to remove the
least trace of starch. This makes the
curtain look quite new and does not
wear them in the lccst. But with sew
eral pairs it is apt to be impracticable;
then the recourse to frame drying. No
sort of lace should " be ironed, not
even upon a mangle. Washington
