The Trunk Key Elusive.

She is very unusual woman who
knows where her trunk key is when she $
about to start on journey. Men have
many advantages over their sisters. but
none greater than that of owning Key
ring.
If a woman had key ring, and
chain to carry it on and a pocket TO
keep it in, she would not be SO unpopular
with her masculine relatives in the sum
mer time. But she has none of these
things.
When she comes home from a trip she
puts the key to her trunk carefully in
small box. The small box she places in
a large box in the left hand corner OF
her top bureau drawer.
There comes a time when she needs
the small box, and so she takes the
key out of it and keeps it in the big box
for a while.
Later she needs the large box-to send
some caramels away-and she takes her
trunk key and places it carefully In
some hiding place selected by herself for
its obscurity.
Then she prepares to go travelling. and
at the last minute-the very last minute.
when the eXpressman is at the door
her trunk key cannot be found.
1t is Mt this moment that her mascu-
line kinfolk revile her whole sex. They
ask why woman was made if not to tor
ment the souls of men. They ask why
women go travelling. why they don't have
pockets, and why they don't remember
where they put things. all in one breath
In the end, these remarks not serving
to bring forth the key. the trunk is car
ried forth, an unlovely thing, tied up
with bit of clothes line to keep it's con
tents from falling out and engaging the
eXpressman.
The owner of the trunk Swears to her
self n in 81 a
contretemps ocur: that she will hang on
TO her key thenceforth and forever as if
she had been welded to it-but. alas for
the ways of femininity, she doesn't The
next time she allows herself a trip the
key Is gone again.
The number of embarrassing situations
which have resulted from the mislaying
of trunk-keys is legion. Thus there was
an American girl. who was travelling
abroad. She arrived in London when the
MONDAY sun was shining and had he's
lightly strapped trunks placed on top of
cab and taken TO the hotel. In front
of the hotel large crowd of new ar
rivals had gathered, and the girl, after
alighting, turned to watch the cabman
take her baggage from the top. He pulled
the largest of the boxes toward him and
tilted it to take it down. when presto
open it came and deposited shower of
very long and very black stockings on
his head.
1t was n terrible moment for that
American girl, and after she and the cab
man together had picked up her posses
sions and stuffed. them back. the girl
decided that she just couldn't stay at
that Eotel-and she didn't

its value-until she lost hers. Baltimore

Asia, from the islands of Borneo. SUI

Japan. And in F0rmosa Japans new
province, more camphor trees grow than
in any other country in the world
The camphor is a very beautiful tree.
Il is tail and straight. and in Formosa,
grows To be very big around Its pretty
leaves are a dark, glossy green. and look
very much like the leaves of our noun
tain laurel The young trees distill from
their bark sticky fluid the color of
straw. This fluid is the oil Of camphor,
and Your mothers rub your chests with il

Camphor is not taken from the tree the
way sap is taken from the maple to be
made into sugar. Every part of Il cam

branches. roots ana trunk. So the whole
tree has to be cut down and chopped into
bits. Then these camphor chips are put
into big iron kettle and partly covered
with water. y slow first is kiuded under
the kettle, which is tightly covered with
hig lid, shaped like the dome of a Gu
thCaiU!
On the inside Of this lid stalks of rice
plant or long grasses are fastened.
When the water in the kettle begins to
boil the yapor from the sleeping cam
phor chips rises and leaves tiny grains of
camphor ON the rice stalks These dirty
little gray grains of Compton final
ly grow into big humps, which are
stripped off from the kettle lid and
packed into large square chests. These
chests are lined with lead, SO that the
strength and the odor of the camphor
gum cannot escape They are loaded
into ships and sent all over the world.
And the people who know best how To
refine the gray humps into the white
camphOr gum which we see in all drug
stores are the Dutch and the Nenetians
There are two very queer things about
Camphor. One is that il catches fire
very easily. When the Japanese have
fires under their big camphor kettles.
they watch very carefully to keep the
camphor grains on the kettle lids from
catching fire
Another queer thing is that if you
should leave a little piece of camphor
gum anywhere so that the air could
strike it, and then If you should go
away for a short time. when You came
back the gum would he all gone 1t flew
away in the mir. This is why your
mothers always keep glass shoppers in

happy use of camphor wood is for
