beckoned to waiter. Bring me-" he
said, two fried cges--one fried on one
side and one on the other"
The waiter looked slightly puzzled, but
answered, Eyes, sir" and disappeared
toward the kitchen.
Ten minutes later he returned, looking
decidedly worried.
Would you wind repeating that or
der, sri" he asked.
IL want two fried eggs" said the
diner; one fried on one side and one
on the other"
The waiter again disappeared in the
direction Of the kitchen. After a longer
wait than before he returned. his clothes
disheveled, and his face bruised and
scratched.

cAMPHoR GROWING SCARCE
Worlds supply is Steadily Decreasing
Each Year.

According to an official of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, the
worlds supply of camphor is steadily
decreasing each year. The greater part
comes from Japan ana its colony, For
mosa. OF late years the demand has
begun to exceed the supply, and the
question has arisen how the latter can
be maintained.
One of the reasons why camphor Is
becoming scarcer and dearer is said TO
be that it is extensively used in the
manufacture of cellulold. At present
camphor ic mainly produced from the
so-called camphor tree, which attains
n gigantic size in Japan, one specimen
recently measured being 115 feet tall.
and having a trunk over fourteen ana
half feet in diameter.
The tree is common in China. but as
yet the production of camphor in that
country is very limited.
The camphor tree is a member of tie
laurel family, and is related in genus
TO the cinnamon tree. 1t Is said that
camphor can be produced from other
species of trees, but this statement has
never been verified. In Borneo most
aromatic camphor is obtained from the
natural deposits Of gum ON the trunks
OF a species OF tree indigenous to that
island and Sumatra. Borneo camphor
is rare and very costly.

THE PASSING or MArRlMoNY.

1t is woman's refusal to marry, and
womans restiveness in marriage-for the
immense majority of our divorces arc
asked for by the wife--which so alarm
us today. For both these facts there
is the same explanation; the character
OF Our women is changing faster than the
character Of matrimony. The women of
the past were as children compared with
the women OF today. Some few great
names there always we're to show what
was possible to the sex but the majority
were ignorant. weak, and absolutely iso-
lated To-day in America our women are
as well educated as men in many cases,
often even more so; and then wide read
ing and general acquaintance with facts
OF life, past and present, together with
rapidly increasing organization among
them. gives them a character and cour-
age previously unknown.
This change is not, as some thinkers
claim. morbid demand for maculine
power and privilege. 1t has nothing to
do with sex 1t is the development OF
the humanness in woman.-Charlotte Per-
kins Gilman, in Harper's Bazaar.
