He Was Very Cool.

From Tit Bits.
Perhaps there never was a man who
so thoroughly believed in taking things
coolly as Mr. Bulteel. The disadvantage
Of worry and the foolishness Of rush. no
matter what circumstance might arise,
was the never failing text upon which
he hung many any many an improving
dicourse.
But as so often happens. Mr.. ButeePs
opportunities for putting his favorite the
DRY into practice had been few, until one
fateful night when he and his wife were
aroused from their midnight slumber by
the dread cry "Firel"
He was GOODNESS itself.
MY dear" he said calmly to his wife,
"the time has come when we will find in
practice the value of what I have always
preached. Dress yourself quickly, but
keep COOL"
In tense silence they busted themselves
in the operation OF quick. but unhurried
dressing. Then Mr.. Bulteel slipped his
watch into his waistcoat pocket and they
walked safely out of the burning build
ing.
There. my dear" he said to his wife,
when the danger was over. you see the
great value of my philosophy of GOODNESS.
Now, if we had lost our heads"
His wife glanced at him for the first
time since the alarm had been given
Yes, william she said sweetly your
philosophy Is both charming and beauti-
full, but really dear. if I had been you
would have put on pair of trousersl'

Wells NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
They Come From Paris and Might
Make All Women Beautiful.
From the washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The man who said that there was
nothing new under the sun lived be-
fore the face veil. Most of the little
accessories which go so far toward
making the great well dressed, change
with the seasons not so with the face
veil
Styles in that change between times
as well. At present, simultaneously
with Paris, SO veil importers say, there
is great showing of novelties in wells
and veilings. A made veil, known as
the Irritation, is having a great run.
The Irritation is three yards long and
warm article. 1t is made of washable
chiffon of a fllmy texture that would
make Peter Pan ashamed when he
holds his lost shadow up to the public
eye. The ends are hand-painted in big
flowers, and in some cases a painted
border extends down both sides.
1t is generally worn loose over a
complexion veil and is also enjoyed as
a head covering for evening wear.
Many of the new carriage and call
ing wells have pin head dots very close
together and a sparse sprinkling of
large velvet or chenille dots over these.
Such have border of real lace or mar
row velvet ribbon and should be chosen
to match the gown.
Never before have made wells and
yelling by the yard been obtainable in
color so wonderful and becoming. Even
the plainest woman If she has a right
sense of color, can find something in
the new wells to hide her defects and
enhance her charms.
Smart automobile wells necessarily
are of chiffon cloth, for 1t is both dust
and water proof, and their ends are
embellished and made strong with vel
vet dots.
wise woman expends good deal
of thought on the wells and sticks to
what suits her best in spite of alluring
novelties. Authorities say that the
wash lace veil will come into its own
again this summer It's advent will be
hailed with delight by those of limited
income, for veil of this kind is cheap,
durable, becoming and easily cleaned
at home.

EXPERT EASILY SWINDLED.
French Scientist Was Taken In by a Spurious Letter to
 Caesar.

M. Chasles, one of the most erudite scientists in France, spent in the course of few years s2s,0O0 upon the purchase of autographs from the notorious forger, Vrain-Lucas Among the collection were the false signatures of Pascal, Newton, Calico. Henry ". and Fran cis l.
 The acceptance of these emboldened the rogue, who next supplied autograph letters of Charlemagne, of yercingeto- rix. of Pythagoras, of Archimedes, of Cleopatra.
 At none of these did the savant bog gle, and the next batch contained, in all reverence be it repeated, letters purporting to have been written by Lazarus, by Mary Magdalene and by the Saviour.
 Calico was represented to have written a letter speaking of a planet which was not discovered until Al years later; Vercingetorix wrote, in modern French, a pass for Emperor Julius Caesar. And the possessor of these precious relics died believing them authentic.

Few doubt that Japan will some day proclaim sort of Monroe doc Urine" for China, and that China will accept it. Japan has already driven Russia back and gracefully absorbed Corea, which it is now. anaconda- like, digesting. Now the Japanese are bidding for what few ocean, going vessels America has on the Pa cific coast. It is not denied that it has options on our line to Australia and no secret is made by the owners that if the subsidy bill fails they will sell, says a Washington writer. It is generally believed the Japanese have options on the Pacific Mail steamers; in any event they have bid for them also. Now the owners of the line from Puget sound to Hawaii declare they will be compelled to withdraw their ships if the bill is beaten. That will leave the Pacific coast denuded of American vessels, and in case of trouble in China or the Philippines, where will the navy get its colliers and the army its transports? This. is what is now giving the officials of these departments concern. Those who scout the suggestion of an American merchant marine, take the ground that if English, French, Ger man and Japanese subsidized ships will carry our commerce cheaper than Americans can, let them do so and pocket the money. But what the war and navy departments want to know is whether in case of trou- ble in the far east the Germans, Japanese, French and English will be kind enough to transport our troops and supplies? To an unpre- judiced observer it would appear that perhaps the interests of these na- tions might conflict with ours and their ship owners might find that they had other pressing business to attend to at such a time. Such pos abilities are not expected to weigh much with the rabid friends of for eign steamship owners who are ap- parently determined to keep our commerce in the hands of our com petitors. but they may be seriously considered by those who have the in- terests of their country at heart and who do not go on the theory that in time of var, even with our tremen- dous resources. we can SOW a bunch of steel plates at night and reap an auxiliary navy of fully manned and equipped vessels the following day.

UMBRELLAS ARE DOOMED.
London Bankrupt Dealer Lays It to Derby Hats and sub-
 ways.

The umbrella has two deadly enemies, which between them will eventually ex- terminate it. They are, according to a dealer interviewed by the London Mir TOT. the bowler and the two-penny tube.
 Ten years ago self-respecting busi- ness man would as soon have thought of starting for the city without his boots as without silk hat, but all that Is changed.
 Now the bowler is the invariable wear of at least one cabinet minister, and the weather resisting qualities have endeared the somber dome of felt to the heads. hearts and pockets of the great and small, and with his adoption of the bowler hat the business man is more or less independent of the useful but troublesome umbrella
 As if that were not sufficient to dis heaTten the umbrella seller, the tube railway has struck another blow at the trade An umbrella at ClerkenveIl county court as a debtor the other day declared that the tubes had run away with his trade

For many years, says one writer, there has existed despicable form of petty graft known as the ''con- gressional free seed distribution" " Last year s290,000 was appropri- ated for this purpose of which s245,- 374 was expended in distributing seeds such as corn, peas and beans, carrot, turnip, grass, cotton, tobacco and flower seeds. Of this amount, however, only s90,979 was paid for seeds and plants, and $41,924 for putting them in packets and mailing them. The remainder, or more than $100,000, was consumed in sal aries,' travelling expenses" and miscellaneous expenses. No one has ever contended that the seeds did any one any good, although some of the beet sugar factories who re- ceived sugar beet seed in 100-pound lots, think it fairly good thing. The postoffice department constantly faces a deficit, yet it was called upon to handle 35,977,135 packets of seeds last year. The department has compiled some very interesting in- formation on this point which will be made public later. The loss to the postal revenues is estimated at minimum of s200,000 per annum to say nothing of the clogging of the mails.

DRUGS MAKE PLANTS GROW
Flowers and Vegetables Mature Quickly Under the Effects
 of Ether.

Flowers and vegetables are drugged with ether nowadays. They are put in alright dens and fed on ether for 24 or 36 hours until they become so per meated with the fumes that they ma ture in about half the time 1t takes them to develop naturally. Stately Easter lilies treated for "A hours have put forth magnificent blooms with the help of warm acetylene light at night, and narcissus plants have doubled the size of their flowers after spending a day and half in the den.
 This remarkable method of forcing both flowers and vegetables to matur- ity has been developed in the horti- cultural department of Cornell uni- versity, Ithaca, N. Y.
 It was told to the public for the first time at the winter exhibition of the Farmers Institute, in the American Institute, 1s and 21 West Forty-fourth street, by Prof. John Craig, head of the horticultural branch of Cornell.
 Tt means a revolution in flowers and vegetables, this new way of fore ing them, because they seem to be stimulated to a more perfect maturity than when they develop naturally" Prof. Craig said. By experiment. in the university we found that the ether administered in an airtight box or den for "A or 36 hours had most remark able vitalizing effect on certain kinds of flowers and vegetables.
 When, in addition to being kept in the sunlight during the day time, they were exposed at night to tae light from acetylene burners, which seem to have a spectrum similar in effect to the real sunshine, thew grew almost riotously.
 "Lilacs, for instance, will be in bloom at least ten days sooner under this treatment than when they develop naturally or by the ordinary means of forcing, as will also azaleas and rho dodendrons. When putting the roots Into the ether the greatest care should be taken not to leave them in the stim- ulating atmosphere more than 36 or IS hours or the drug will have the op- posite effect, and instead of being forced to mature they will die as soon as removed"

lights and there was general turn ing of day into night.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Connecticut's junior senator's at tempt to explain and defend his ac- tion on the Philippine tariff bill is not convincing. He was opposed to the Payne bill from the first, he says. mainly because of its proposed re- duction of the tariff tax on imported tobacco and sugar and its total re- peal in a few years. He is con vinced that it would be impossible to confine importations from the Phil ippines to the United States free of duty to products wholly of the Philip pine Islands. It would not be long, he thinks, before our home market would be flooded with tobacco, sugar and rice from all parts of the Orient, and this would very seriously injure three of our greatest home indus tries. For his own part, Senator Brandegee would greatly prefer yot- ing money out of the treasury for the benefit of our Asiatic subjects than to open the door wide for the free importation of oriental products.

CRUEL ELEPHANT HUNTERS
Deadly Method Employed by Natives in Capturing East African
 Animals.

A correspondent of the London Times writes of elephant hunting in Africa: "The most deadly method of killing elephants, and that most frequently employed by the natives of East Africa, is the pit, sufficient ly deep-roughly 20 feet-long and wide to engulf and hold an elephant After a period of frantic struggling. hunger and exhaustion the wretched animal is done to death by native spears. If the size and powers of the animal are remembered, it is dificult to imagine a more revoiting. brutal picture of torture; but this is the common practice of the natives of the country and is being enacted daily throughout British territory.
 "A priest had taken out a sports mans license Cs25eD with the object of building a church in the event of his hunting venture being successful He shot a fine elephant with heavy tusks. and while he vas examining the animal natives appeared and claimed the tusks; the elephant be- Ionged. they said. to their chief. Ma quends To clinch their claims they asserted that tine elephant had been lame and pointed 10 a fostering open ing in the sole of one of its feet. ex tending up the les
 But the priest asosrtained that the chief Nsquenda had caused spear heads to be rigidly placed upright in the ground in the forest game paths for the purpose of laning elephants and 90 rendering them s prey to his huntsrs This happy discovery put sn end. a; least for a tine, to this shomihsble measure. for the eircun- stances were reported to the suthori- ties and the chief vss panishei-
