ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

The Hardest to Make Are Orchids
and American Beauty Roses.
The orchid and American Beauty rose
Nare the two most difficult flowers to
make. A skilled worker can construct
only about six American Beauty roses
In one day, and this number only when
the leaves and petals are all ready to
put together. The small flowers, like
the jasmine. are also difficult to make,
and only skilled hands can be intrust-
ed with this work. The majority of
the small and delicately made flowers
imported for millinery uses are made
In the prisons OF France The work
OF making fowels Is pleasant and for
skilled hands lucrative, the girls re-
ceiving all the way from So a week Tor
beginners to $50 for the best workers.
Much Of the finer grades Is given out
for home work, wonen and girls TAX
ing huge boxes of flower petals and
leaves to put together. One market
for artificial flowers Is that of the har-
nessmakers, who order punches Of vio-
let's and other small flowers and resell
them to grooms for the decoration Of
their horses on tallyho trips and other
gala occasions. Many of the handsome
corsage bouquets of orchids and VIC
lets so much admired at the theater
and opera are artificial. - Leslie's

AN AFRICAN FOREST.
Peculiar Effects Produced by Wind.
Sunlight and shadow.

An explorer describes a central Az.
RIGA forest; ''Ten miles west Of the
lake begins the only piece of real viz.
gin forest met with. 1t is throughout
a dense virgin forest and almost i'm.
penetrable. 1t consists of very large
trees of many varieties. The upper
parts are festooned with light gray

ers and giving to the forest very fan.
tastic appearance. When these long
streamers are agitated by storm they
make the whole forest, seen from one
Of the hills near, look like a rough sea.
Again, when the sun is vertical the
whole forest appears dark, but when
the sun is low the general effect on
the sunny side Is curlously light.
"All the trees are bound together
with innumerable lianas and creeping
plants. Between the stems Is a dense
tangled mass Of lesser vegetation. The
forest stands to u great extent In the
water and mud Of the swamp. A
singular feature of it is the abruptness
with which 1t begins and ceases on the
plain. The grassy swamp or open
country reaches to the mighty wall OF
trees, which continue in the same den.
sity from one side to the other. There
Is no smaller wood or scrub outside
forming transition from the open
plain to the forest.
Inside, the silence and gloom are
accentuated by the apparent absence
Of animal or bird life. There are some
herds of buffaloes that make it head
quarters, elephants visit it occasional,
ly, monkeys and parrots are sometimes
seen, and harnessed antelope now and
then appears at the edge, but the gen
eral impression left is one of lifeless-

THE HORNBILL.
A Bird That ImprisOns His Mate Dur
Ing the BroOding Season.


A remarkable mode of incarceration
is practiced by the hornbills, birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
which lnhabit southern Asia, the Ma
layan islands and central and southern
Africa. In most If not all species the
brooding female Is walled up In hol.
low tree and fed by her mate.
She remains confined In her prison
until the eggs are Matched, and In some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of flight. as she
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male is interchangeable In providing for
his family and is said to work so hard
that he Is reduced almost to skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to the theory Of many ma
tives, the female Is imprisoned to pre-
vent her neglecting her duty of brood
ing, and If she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window OF her cell and abandons her
to painful death by suffocation. The
true story, perhaps, is this: The female
walls herself in so that she cannot fall
from the nest after losing her feathers
and also to protect herself from enc
miles. The building material Is her own
excrement. This version Is less poet
ical than the other, but it Is probably
nearer the truth. 1t is supported by
the statement that the female liberates
herself as soon as the young birds are
well grown. so that her prison Is less
formidable than it appears.-Scleutiflc

Mans "Lesser Side" Works TO Keep
the "Stronger Side" Free.
A group of men, which included q
salesman for Chicago cigar house.
stood talking near the news stand in q
hotel when the subject of cigars came
up.
"Say, Striblen," said one of the men,
you're a cigar salesman. Tell me why
1t is that all smokers hold their cigars
to the left side of the mouth"
''They don't" replied Striblen-"that
is, all don't. 1t is only the right handed
men who do. Left handed men hold
their cigars In the right side Of the
mouth The reason, have been told,
Is this: 1t Is natural with all men to
make their lesser side do what work
it can to keep their stronger side free
that 1t may meet emergencies. If a
man has package to carry he holds
1t In his left hand If he is right handed ;
If he Is left handed he holds it in his
right hand. In either case the hand
he has the most confidence In is free
for emergency use. This same idea he
stretches to cover the muscles Of his
lips. 1t isn't the possibility that he
may need the muscles on the right side
for emergency use that makes the right
handed man hold his cigar in the left
side Of his mouth-it's just that idea
about his whole lesser side that makes
him do it."-Denver Post

FEMININE HEROlSM.
Women Have often Fought In De.

Women Have often Fought In De-
Tense of Their Native Towns
During the oppression of the Neither
lands by the Spaniards in the sixteenth
century it was no uncommon event for
women to fight in defense of their ma.
tive town. When in 1872 Don Frederic
at the head of q large army besieged
HARLEM, among the garrison that de
Tended the town were 300 women.
Their chief was q widow of distin.
guished family, about forty -seven years
of age, who, at the head of her anna.
zons, participated in many Of the most
fiercely contested actions of the siege.
Seven years later, at the siege OF
Maestricht. the women were of great
assistance in making mines, enrolling
themselves into companies under the
direction Of officers, or "mlne mis-.
tresses," as they were called. The serv.
ice they rendered was inestimable.
At the repulse Of the Spaniards from
the walls of Alkmaar women and even
children showed a like courage, assist.
ing their husbands and fathers In the
desperate defense. History, indeed
gives many examples of such heroism
among which may be mentioned the
brave conduct of the women at the de
tense of Sarragossa in 1903, when they
took the place of their slain husbands
or brothers at the cannon side.-Black

Atken, an English specialist, gas is the

gated musk, of which 1t is possible to

II odors are attributable to particles,
the latter form nuclei of cloudy con.
densation in supersaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case of musk no such nuclei
were detected, proving that musk does
not give off solid particles, but evapo.

gaseous particles from the musk that
act on the sense of smell. OF twenty.

soft, velvety sensation, while the effect
Of the solid is sharp and biting, more
allied to pain than pleasure

Origin of Italics,

1talic letters were first used about the
year 1900 by Aldus Nautilus, Vene-
tan printer. He observed the many
inconvenience resulting from the vast
number of authorizations which were
then SO frequent among the printers
that book was difficult to understand.
A treatise was actually written on the
art Of reading printed book and thus
addressed to the learned By introduc-
ing the italic letter he contrived an ex-
pedient by which these authorizations
might be entirely got rid of and yet
books suffer little increase in bulk. He
dedicated his invention to the Italian
states; hence the name. 1t has also
been distinguished by the name of the
inventor and called the Aldine. The
first book printed in italics was an edi-
ton of Virgil printed at Venice by
Aldus In 1901.
