Getting Real Lemon Oil.

odor which seemed to call up visions
of orange and eitron groves of ancient
Greek fame.

the dealer in response to a look Of in
quiry "Tkat is all | have left of a
pound of the oil, and it took 1000 lem
ons to produce it. Rather expensive
stuff, almost equal to that of altar of
roses. The method of obtaining the
oil is tedious. A man has big, dry,
clean sponge before him on a table.
He takes strips of the lemon peel, gives
them a certain twist which breaks the
cells and sends the oil out in a fine
spray on the sponge. He has to work
quickly to avoid evaporation.
"When the sponge has taken up the
sprays of about a hundred rinds it is
wet enough to be squeezed out An
ounce or SO Of clear and fragrant oil
then flows from it."

Tribes of Blue Eyed Indians.

Red haired negroes are scarce enough,
but an equally curious freak of nature
is seen in the Griegos Indians, near the
City of Mexico They are light COM
plexioned, and the majority have blue
eyes and light hair. They dress prin-
cipally in two shades of blue, and their
clothing is good and well made and
generally ornamented with the bead
and silk embroidery of which Indians
are so fond. Theh' houses are better
built and furnished than is usual
among Indians, and many have pianos
and other musical instruments, upon
which they play with considerable skill.
These Griegos have no commercial or
social connections with other tribes,
holding aloof from even those who live
at the base of the mountain on which
the village is situated. They raise
their own food, do their own manu-
featuring, have their own schools,
churches and social institutions and
seldom or never marry outside their
own tribe. There is said to be another
tribe of blue eyed, fair haired Indians,
who have the appearance of Germans,
living in the Sierra Madre mountains
in the state Of Durango.

where the TOYS Come From.

The value of German toys exported
to foreign countries last year was close
to S13,700000, of which the United
States, as the principal customer, took
about 100000 worth. Sonneberg is
the chief center of the industry. The
annual report of the chamber of com
MERGE OF the Sonneberg district gives
the following scale of daily wages
paid to persons working on dolls and
doll heads, the hours of labor being
ten to ten and one-half: Male adults,
"a to 60 cents; female adults, SO to 4S
cents; male youths, SO to 4S cents;
girls, "A to 81 cents. Most of the hands
are paid by the piece, the men earn
ing from $500 to &C. the women from
$192 to $500 and the youths from
S110 to Sc. per week. On piecework
some skilled males earn as high as

Christmas Fires.

If one would revive a memory of the
old Yule fire, a backing Of hard wood,
the largest to be had, should be chosen.
The hearth should be clean and cold
before Christmas even and the log set
in place with the cedar or pine or other
Eight wood kindlings at hand. AS
the sun goes down fire is applied and
the big log set ablaZe. In the days Of
the Druids, whence Yule log is derived,
the priests lighted the annual log with
an ember from the sacred perpetual
fire they guarded. In the mountain re-
gions of the south the hearth fire is
kept with an almost equal fidelity,
scarcely ever being permitted to die
out from October to March, and in the
cabins of the negroes it is no uncom-
mon sight upon a Christmas night to
see within the fireplace itself, their
heads up the chimney, pickaninnies Of
various sizes busted in warming their
toes, their bare feet resting on logs OF
cedar or hickory or oak and their black
eyes rolling with anticipations Of COM
ing good things.-Harper's Bazaar.

Irving's First Success.

In 1874 Henry Irving achieved an i'm
mense success by his performance Of
Hamlet" at the London Lyceum thea
ter. His Interpretation of the part was
so striking and unusual that the play
had a run unprecedented at that time,
continuing for 200 nights. Of his ex-
perience in playing this part Sir Henry
gave, some years before his death, an
interesting account.
II can always tell" he said, when
the audience is with me. It was not
with me on the first night of Hamlet
which is perhaps curious, considering
my subsequent success. On the first
night 1 felt that the audience did not
go with me until the first meeting with
Ophelia, When they changed toward
me emit ely. But as night succeeded
night my Hamlet grew in their esti-
nation. l could feel it all the time
and now l know that they like it
that they are with me heart and SOUL"

A Hawaiian Christmas.

Before the missionaries and the
American settlers went to Hawaii the
natives knew nothing about Christmas,
but now they all celebrate the day
and do it, of course, in the same way
as the Americans who live there. The
main difference between Christmas in
Honolulu and Christmas in New York
is that in Honolulu in December the
weather is like June in New York.

Lather For Shaving.

It is commonly assumed that soap is
used in shaving for the purpose of sof-
tening the hairs. This, however, it
seems, is a mistake. 1t is used, on
the contrary, to render them hard, dry,
stiff and brittle, in which condition
they best yield to the blade. Hair be-
ing naturally oily, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair without
cutting it, or entering about half way
bend the hair back and slice it length
wise, all the while straining it most
painfully at the root, and as a razor
would thus slice and pull probably a
number of hairs at once the pain pro-
duced would be intense. Most shay
ing soap contains a free alkali, either
potash or soda, which combines with
and SO removes the oil of the hair,
leaving only the hard fiber, dry and
stiff, as may be seen by taking a solu-
ton of carbonate of soda and dipping
single hair into it.

AN UNEXPECTED GUEST.

mas Tree.
Papa, Archie and May went to the
woods to get a Christmas tree and
found just what they wanted-a little
pine, bushy and straight.
"There is something l must cut off, y
said Archie. He pointed to little gray
bunch on one of the twigs and pulled
out his knife.
mo, nor cried May, holding his
hand. "Let it stay. It's poor little
caterpillar's house"
May was right. One Indian summer
day a caterpillar, dressed in brown
velvet, was taking a walk in the
woods At last he came to the little
pine tree and thought to himself,
what a nice place to spend the win
terri
So he made himself little house
He made it very tight and close, OF
fine, soft thread, and fastened up the
door. He did not leave himself even a
window to look out. If there had been
one how it would have surprised him
TO see tnaC he anu his house anu the
pine tree were riding in d sleigh with
papa and May and Archie.
He would have been still more sur
prised if he had seen the tree standing
in the parlor, covered with toys and
trinkets and little candles.
''It must be spring at last" he
thought, for it was very warm in the
parlOr.
SO he poked a hole in the wall of his
house, and out he came. But what do
you think? He was not caterpillar
ooh, see the lovely butterfly!'' cried
May.
He flew to the tiptop bough, and the
children said there was nothing else
on the tree so pretty as the butterfly.
HE must have come down the chin
ney with Santa Claus" said May. And
she never guessed that he came out of
the caterpillar's house.-Youth's Com
panion.

The Deep Sea Lead.

In order to find ships position
when approaching the land in a fog
soundings are taken with the deep sea
lead" This lead weighs twenty eight
pounds and is attached to a line which
is marked off in fathoms by bunting of
various colors, pieces of leather and
knots. Bored in the base of the lead
is hole about two inches deep and
this is filled with tallow, SO that the
gravel or shells at the ocean bottom
will adhere to it, and the nature of the
bed may be thus ascertained When
the lead is thrown overheard the wa
ter's depth is noted on the line, and
this and the adherence to the tallow
when compared with the description
given on the chart will give the ships
position with tolerable accuracy.

The Pillars of Hercules.

The "Pillars of Hercules was the
name anciently given to the mountains
of Calpe and Abyla, standing opposite
to each other, the one on the European
and the other on the African shore of
the strait which connects the Mediter
ranean sea with the Atlantic ocean.
The mountains are now called the
Rock of Gibraltar and Jebel Zatant.
The word Gibraltar, which is at pres
ent also applied to the strait, was
originally "Jebel Taric," or Mountain
of Taric," Taric being the name of the
leader of the first Mohammedan band
which crossed at that point over into
Spain in the year A d. 40.

The First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets it's name from the
mass celebrated in the early days of
the Christian church in honor of the
birth of Christ, it's first solemnization
having been ordered by Pope Teles-
phoruG This was in or before the
year 1873, for in that year Pope Teles-
phorus died. At first Christmas was
what is known as a movable feast, just
as Easter is now, and, owing to mis-
understandings, was celebrated as late
as April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was or
dered, and, upon the authority of the
tables of the censors in the Roman ar
chives, Dec 20 was agreed upon as the
date of the Saviours Nativity. Tradi-
ton fixed the hour of birth at about
midnight, and this led to the celebra
ton of a midnight mass in all the
churches, a second at dawn and a third
in the later morning.

TALKING DOLLS.
The Latest Production of the Clever
German Toymalxers.

German TOymakers.
One Of the most striking of the new
Christmas toys takes the shape of a
real talking doll. In the past dolly's
vocabulary has been limited to such
phrases as Dada or Mama" sounds
produced by reed and a pair of
bellows. All that is to be changed, and
dolly will be able to say quite a num-
Der of nice things and carry on little
conversations of a hundred words or
more and, il necessary, sing the very
latest song.
The idea comes from Germany and
is really an adaptation of the principle
upon which the gramophone is based.
Briefly it is this: Secreted somewhere
in the dolls interior will be a tiny disk
machine, which will carry a record
about two inches in diameter. When
the doll has been made presentable and
feels equal to taking part in the con-
versation her little nurse will simply
have to place disk in crevice some
where in dolly's back, an operation as
simple as putting a penny in a slot,
and the doll will do the rest Two
dolls, with suitable records, may easily
be made to carry on quite intelligent
conversations.-Lon Daily News.

Sickened of the ScaIpeI.

An extraordinary event led Lassone,
physician to Louis XVI. of France, to
abandon his anatomical studies. While
selecting from among some dead bod
les suitable subject for dissection he
imagined that one of them showed
doubtful signs of death and sought to
revive a life which was perhaps not
eXtinguished. His efforts We're crown
ed with success. He cured the man,
and as he was poor nourished and sup
ported him, but the idea Of having
been on the point Of committing a
crime SO affected Lassone that he felt
himself unable to pursue his accus-
toned labors, and from that time for
ward the study of natural history and
chemistry took the place Of that Of
anatomy.

public festival which is probably
unique in the world 1t is little town
Of about 1000 inhabitants, and On the
morning of it's annual fair day the
population from about eighty villages
come trooping in in swarms. To them
go out all the young women, married
or single, of Halmagen each bearing a
small flower garland and vessel of
wine, and all attended by their god
mothers. This last precaution is taken
from motives of Difference for Mrs.
Grlndy. AS the visitors approach, the
young women offer to each taste Of

MAKING CHRISTMAS TOYS.
A Thriving Industry In Germany
France and Switzerland.

In parts of Germany, France and
takes more interest in Christmas than
the average American boy. This seems
like strong statement, for Christmas
is pretty thoroughly appreciated by the
young of America. But, great as the
festival is to them, it is not essential to
their existence. They could get along
without Christmas, but the tOymakers
in Switzerland, the Tyrol and south
Germany would starve without this
midwinter holiday which makes mar
ket for their goods. There are wood
carvers, doll dressers and toymakers
in every hamlet and home of the Tyrol.
They depend upon the small wages
they make from these toys to put bread
and butter in their mouths.
All through the winter season every
boy and man carves out wood animals
and toys for the factories. Everything
is handmade. A Noah's ark of twenty
or thirty wooden animals that retailS
for quarter in this country does not
pay the carver more than few pen
MES
The boys are taught to handle the
knife early, and they learn to cut out
wooden ducks, hens, horses, cows and
other toys before they have reached
their teens. Working all through the
early winter days and nights in their
little homes, they make the wooden
toys that delight SO many children
throughout the world-New York Mail

The Famous Mamelukes.

The mamelukes were a body of SOL
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun
dred years. Their name is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they were originally captives from
Caucasian countries In the middle Of
the thirteenth century they were intro
duced into Egypt as the sultan's body
guard, but upon the accession Of Turan
Shah, whom they hated, they over
threw him and elected one of them
selves in his place. For nearly 300
years they held the power thus usurp-
ed, and even when compelled to resign
it they had much influence in Egypt.
In 1911 nearly all the mamelukes were
massacred by Mohammed Ali, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed in 1920.

The Wind Sail.

1t frequently happens that after dis
charging a cargo of particularly
malodorous nature it is necessary to
let the air reach certain parts of the
hold of vessel not served by the fixed
regulation ventilators. To effect this
purpose a portable canvas ventilator,
called wind SAIL is employed. 1t is
cylindrical in shape and is kept in po
sition by means of stays. When it is
erected the air blows down it, and the
hold is soon pure once more.

How an Orang Outang Travels.

1t is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make it's way
through the jungle 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches in semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length Of its arms and
the shOrtness of it's legs. 1t invariably
selects those branches which intermin-
gle with those of a neighboring tree,
on approaching which it stretches out
it's long arm and, grasping the boughs
opposite, seems first to shake them as
if to test their strength and then de-
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch, which it walks along, as
before. 1t does not jump or spring, as
monkeys usually do, and never appears
to hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet, in spite of it's apparent
ly slow movements, it gets along far
quicker than a person running through
the forest beneath.-Popular Magazine.
