WHY HER SHOE LAcEs UNITE


''Why is 1t that lady's shoe becomes
united 20 much more frequently and
apparently easier than n man's?" re-
peated ]. v. Laid, the shoe salesman.
after me. "Well., don't suppose l
would be in any better position to an
swer question than any one else had
it not been for the fact that few days
ago couple of ladies'. customers of
my place, were discussing that very
point. and their deductions appear to
solve the riddle perfectly.
"It Is not that a woman's shoe laces
Will not tie in as firm knot as any
others; the reason for the frequent an
noyances to which women are SUBJ
jected is apart from that. In the case
Of high shoes the trouble is altogether
In their height. The shoe laces further
up on the leg than a mans. usually
fits more snugly. and therefore encoun.
tiers greater strain on the knot when
woman is walking. The result 10
that 1t becomes loosened with very
short time, whereas, a man may walk
all day without the laces OF his shoe
becoming united. Where low shoes
are worn the skirts tapping round the
ankle do the work of loosenlng the
knot.'-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE HARDANGER EMBROIDERY

THE HARDANGER EMBROIDERY.
The Hardanger embroidery. Or Swe.
dish embroidery. M it is sometimes
wrongly called. which liz now so popu-
lar In the shops in embroidered shirt
waists and centrepieces. gets its name
from the town Of Hardanger In west
ern Norway.
This embroidery. while new to most
parts OF the United States, has been
In use for generations in Norway.
Sweden and Denmark. In these coun-
tries the children are taught to do Har-
danger work at school: and In the little
town Of Hardanser in almost every
home are to be seen curtains. counter
panes. pillow shams and table covers
ornamented with this beautiful and
durable embroidery.
The women of Hardanger always
wear little aprons trimmed with Har-
danger Insertion. In fact. this custom
Is 70 associated with the village life
that even on her wedding day the
Hardanger maiden wears an apron.

MEDIrATIoNs OF A SINISTER

NEGOTIATIONS OF A SPINSTER.
Judging from some of the awful
things seen on the late Halloween
women ought to go down on their
knees fasting and give thanks that they
nre permitted to wear women's clothes.
It's queer that 1t is much harder to
be just plain than 1t is to be saintiy
and pious.
Silence, In some cases, speaks much
louder than words.
1t makes a wife real envious to see
the way her husband eau forget the
children when they are both away
from home.

on an election bet she cannot see why

PARCHMENT

Il Was Invented ~ the Greeks when
$5shA Papyrusa Vas scarce.
There is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside Of Egypt during the whole
Roman period, and the industry Of its
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time of Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused BY q scarcity Of paper,
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. paper maker, IN the
sdayssofs aAnreIian.a abtoasted that he could
fequipranrr army from the profits OF his
b~usiness-and did It too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce, and
the middle ages ~reinvented 1t. There
is evidence that linen rags were used
In paper making as early as the eighth
and ninth centuries. In paper Of that
period the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces OF cotton, hemp and other fbers.
The known specimens are Of oriental
origin and appear to have been. clayed,
like modern papers, the material used
being a starch paste manufactured
from. wheat. =.
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England Is in the Brit
ish Museum and dates from 1049 A. D.,
and the Oldest on the same material in
the Paris National library is dated
1850. In 1885 the Christian successors
Of the Spanish Saracens made paper
Of rags instead Of raw cotton, which
had been formerly employed.

Robert Fowler in his book, "Beauti-
full Wales" makes this pretty descrip-
ton Of an old Welsh home: 1.-THE floor
was of sanded. slate fagS and on them
q long, many legged table. an oak set
tea table piano and some Chippen-
dale chairs. There were also two tall
clocks, and they were the most human
clocks Fever met, for they licked with
effort and uneasiness. They found the
hours troublesome and did not twitter
mechanically .over them and at mid
night the twelve strokes always nearly
ruined them. SO great was the effort.
ION the wall were a large portrait
OF s%purgeon, several sets Of verses;
printed and framed, In memory .sof
dead members Of the family, an ale
gorical tree watered by the devil and
photographs Of a bard. There were
about fifty well used books near the
IRE and two or three men smoking
and one man reading some serious
book aloud by the only lamp, and q girl
was: carrying out the weeks baking Of
large }loaves, fiat fruit tarts of black
berry, apple and whinberry, plain gold
en- cakes, large, soft currant biscuits
and curled oat cakes. J.

Railway Wheels.

Did you ever notice that the wheels
of a locomotive engine are beveled?
The reason for this is that IN rounding
q! curve the outer rail Is, of course. a
little longer than the inner one. The
difference is very little, but it would
be enough to make an engine skid
unless it were reckoned for. In the
beveled wheel the higher part, with Its:
greater circumference, IL forced against
the outer rail by the very tendency
Of the engine to drive. straight ahead,
and with the other wheel the smaller
circumference rests on the rail, thus
overcoming the difference in. 1.-The lengths
Of the lines. .
