Men Are Bigger Now.

Until the sixteenth century armor
developed in a logical way, its forms
were governed by the necessities Of
war, and changes in 1t were the re-
suit of practical experience and actual
experiment on the battlefield. After
the sixteenth century 1t became fan
tastic and meaningless, gala costume
rather than a harness. The greatest
captains opposed its use, but the no.
bles clung to 1t as mark of distinc-
tion. After 1t was made bullet proof
1t became SO enormously heavy that at
the end of the sixteenth century 1t
was complained that gentlemen of thir-
ty were even at that age deformed by
the weight of their armor. In spite of
the huge armors of Henry VIII, of
Anthony of Burgundy and of some 9th
ers, the average size of the modern
man is greater than that of the SOL
dier of the middle ages and the re-
nalssance, If we can judge from the
armor preserved In the museums OF
England and the continent. which are,
with few exceptions, small and mar

ALTAR OF ROSES.
How This Delicious and Expensive
r, Perfume Is Made.

Perfume Is Made.
The word "attar" is from the Arab
"itr" and means perfume. So altar Of
roses is simply perfume of roses. 1t Is
brought from Turkey and the East In
dies in small walls and Is very costly.
Even on the spot where it is manufac.
tured it Is extremely dear, because II
requires 100000 well grown roses to
yield but $50 grains of altar.
Its high price causes 1t to be often
adulterated with some essential or fix
ed oil or with spermaceti. However,
the adulteration may be detected by
testing 1t in watch glass with drop
of sulphuric acid. If the altar be pure
1t will remain colorless, for pure altar
of roses Is colorless, but If it be adul-
terated it will become darkened.
In rose fields, where the roses are
grown for the purpose of making the
altar, the bushes are planted in rows.
In the early morning they are laden
with beautiful roses, but ere noon
comes they are all gathered and their
petals distilled in clay stills, with twice
their weight of water.
The water that comes over" Is put
into perfectly clean vessels and is then
carefully covered With damp muslin
clothes to keep out dust and insects. 1t
Is afterward exposed to the night air
or to artificial cold. By morning a
film is swept off with feather and
very carefully transferred to a small
vial. Night after night this process Is
repeated until all of the precious oil Is
separated from the water.

MADE FUN OF PHARAOH.
The Ancients Evidently Had n Keen
Sense of Humor.


Sense of Humor.
The fables of 1IsOp prove that the
ancients were not without liking for
fun, ana the remains OF ancient art tell
The same story. Examples of artistic
humor are more common than Is sup.
posed by most persons.
A drawing on tile in the Metropolis
tan museum, in New York, represents
cat dressed as an Egyptian lady Of
fashion. She Is seated languidly In q
chair, slipping wine out of small bowl
and being famed and offered dainties
by an abject looking tomcat, his tail
between his legs.
The cat figures largely In the ancient
comic groups Of animal life. In a
papyrus in the British museum a flock
of geese are being driven by cat and
Il herd of goats by two wolves with
crooks and wallets. One of the wolves
is playing double pipe.
There Is in the museum of Turin q
papyrus roll which displays whole
series of such comIcal scenes. In
the first place lion, crocodile and
an ape are giving vocal and instru-
mental concert. Next comes an ass,
dressed armed and scoptered like a
pharaoh. With majestic swagg2r he
receives the gifts presented to him by
a cat of high degree, to which a bull
acts as proud conductor.
Another picture shows pharaoh In
the shape of n rat, drawn in a carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He is pro
ceeding to storm fort garriSoned by
cats having no arms but teeth and
axes and bows and arrows. .'..

DESTINY OF THE JEW.
To Give the World Homogeneous
Humanity, Says Walter Hurt.

To Give the World Homogeneous
Humanity, Says Walter Hurt.
Zionism, as.lt presents itself to me,
Is beautiful but barren dream. 1t
Is the noble conception Of splendid
brain aud nursed In the great heart
of Theodore HerZl and well calculated
to inspire the Imagination Of people
that have cherished through the cen.
turies its imperlshable ideals. 1t is the
flower of q mighty love that never can
know momentary fruition.
In this clannishness Of the Jew, en-
gendered by ages Of persecution. we
find the philosophy of conditions that
appear to us as cruel. His has been but
a preparatory experience. The strong
est bond of brotherhood In the world
today is that of Jewish blood. 1t is
the red badge of freemasonry found
ed on community of suffering, and
It's ritual is written large upon each
heart in letters Of pain. And this 1t Is
that at last will weld the world to-
gethcr With the infusion of Jewish
blood into the universal social body-a
blood become SO distinctive that it
Will tincture the whole vast volume
men will meet from the ends of tho
earth and, looking In each others face,
will recognize clansman.
This Is the destiny reserved for the
Jew-this is his sociologic function
to break down the barriers of race
that partition society into nations and
give to the world n homogeneous hui
manity.-Walter Hurt In Culturist.

FORMS OF INSANITY.
PremonftOry Symptoms by Which
They May BE Detected.

PremonftOry Symptoms by Which
They May BE Detected.
There are certain premonitory symp-
toms of the more prevalent forms of
insanity that can be counted on, as
general thing, as lnfallible.
In paresis, which is claiming its VIC
Tins in tremendous numbers, there are
many physical sigrs that are almost
incontrovertible.
The exaggerated twitching Of the
facial muscles In conversation, the o.
casional tendency of the eye to turn
outward, the weakness of the legs,
the fiabbiness of all muscles, are pre-
ltminary symptoms that give warning
that a man Is about to break down.
With the victim of mania-the mani
ac-the symptoms are often similar to
those found In melancholia, though
generally the disease gives the victim
an appearance Of great elation. The
eyes are abnormally bright, the fea-
+, lures are alert and tense and an air Of
tremendous excitement is apparent.
This is from constant fear that some
thing is about to happen.
Another form of insanity is prevalent
among younger persons. Excessive
Z. strain. continual worry or trouble, al
lied to weakened physical system,
are the causes. 1t marifests itself
through the gradual loss Of some facul-
ty that has been all right till now.
The loss of memory for details is an
alarming symptom and one that should
be given careful and immedi atten-

shifted Marta, though it was undenia-
BILE that the face beneath the wide
brims was winsomely attractive.
The professor caught his first glimpse
of it one afternoon as lie came home
through his orchard after morning
spent in the woods near by. One coat
pocket bulged with specimens, the
other contained his notebook, and he
hurried along the grassy path, wonder
ing If Marta had kept luncheon watt

gnarled apple tree above him came a
great rustling. Iii u.

The professor halted, blinking up:
ward into the leaves, where pretty,
embarrassed face looked out like n
Dryad in distress.
I'm up here, and can't get down.
so I'm afraid I'll have to ask you for
help"
To the professor, unused to climbing
any tree save that Of knowledge, the
feat was extremely difficult. Yet he
managed it skillfully enough and swung
himself up to where Betty sat. Then
slowly. holding very tight to his hand,
she made her descent, ending with a
jump and a frightened little laugh.
81 won't do that again." she de-
clared. Its been awfully good of you
to help a neighbor in distress, especial
ly when she's been trespassing on your
property" ..:s
Travers said that he hoped she would
trespass as often as she liked, and side
by side they moved homeward through
her own gate, and next day wheni they
went for stroll by the Hampstead
river Marta's worst fears seemed real
ized. Her CONSERVATION increased
when Travers began to look to, his
canoe that he had not used in years,
humming a college glee as he worked.
"If he is drowned 1t will be the
fault OF that Gighy piece next door,?
walled Marta.
He began, too, to take an alarming
interest in his personal appearance, a
thing he had never done before. He
gave up his somewhat seedy coats and
queer, loose collars, and box present
ly arrived from New York bearing the
hall mark of fashionable tailor. And
Marta felt that crisis had been reach.
ed when the loss of some of the finest
Speciments of fora in Travers' collec-
tion only moved him to temporary
regret. He no longer spent his days
poring over books. Instead, he studied
the moods Of Miss Betty Gainsboro,i 3
and came to the conclusion that there,
was nothing on earth more incompre-
hensible than woman. Once, when
the canoe had nearly overturned she
had shown herself valiant In the race
of danger, yet the sight of tiny garter,
snake made her seek refuge on the
nearest fence, where she perched in q
panic till Travers had killed it.
One evening when Travers was re-
turning from lecture he had given at

town he noted tall young fellow,

BUSINESS SENSE.
A Well Ordered Desk Means n Well
Ordered Mind.


Ordered Mind.
There's one piece of advice" said
the senior partner, that I'd like to
give every young man taking a busi-
ness position with desk attached to
1t. It's this: Keep your desk clean.
What l mean by having a desk clean
is keeping everything possible off it
except that which is telated to the
matter in hand. I've observed in my
time a good may men in their offices,
and l can say that with very few ex-
ceptions the real men of affairs are
those who are free from clutter.
with lot of papers in front Of you
it's almost certainty that some hour
in the day you're going to be fiustered,
and very likely it will be just when
you want clear head The old idea
that mass of material every which
way on the desk is sign that person
is full of business is pretty well out
worn. Such a collection not only indi-
Gates lack of order, but also is sign
that nervousness may be expected from
the man in the chair. What with filing
cabinets and other devices no excuse
can be offered nowadays for confusion.
"A well ordered desk means a well
ordered mind, n mind taking up one
thing at time and giving it the proper
attention. 1t denotes regularity and
concentrated, effective effort" - New
York Press.
