you kindly explain why business men
persist In writing enquire and EN-

The explanation, we think, must be
that business men are too much given
to the study of the elder classics of
our language In the romance of Gen

man reads that:

Breathing Sodium Peroxide.

At last man has learned to live
without air. Sodium peroxide, one Of
the newer products Of electrolysis, is
a compound of sodium with oxygen
that decomposes in the presence Of
damp carbonic acid. The value of this
substance may be gathered from the
fact that a man can live in an alright
box as long as any sodium peroxide re.
mains unconverted. 1t Is suggested
that, by means Of sodium peroxide,
submarine boats will be able to re-
main under water for considerably
longer periods than hitherto has been
possible. Just how long will be a
matter Of calculation, the factors in
the calculation being the amount Of
oxygen converted into carbonic acid
by one man in one hour, the number
of men present, and the weight of
peroxide that can be carried. Used in
mines, it should enable a miner to
live with his head literally in bag
of india rubber containing this perox.
ide, whereby he can tide over a period
Of danger.

Yellow Beauty Powder Now.

The latest invention of a certain
beauty doctor" is yellow powder. The
doctor" learned his little secret from
the fascinating maidens and squaws
Of a Canadian Indian settlement. The
powder is not a really golden yellow;
1t merely has that rich, creamy brown
tint that is seen in the skins Of Indian
girls and some of the duskier maids Of
our own race also. 1t is made by the
simple process of burning little Of
the chalk on a rock set in the sun and
mixing the burnt chalk with the white
until the creamy color is obtained.
"The only trouble in marketing this
new powder" remarked the doctor"
lis to find any woman sallow or black
enough to acknowledge that she needs
yellow rowder. The most bilious look.
ing creature I ever knew would rather
make a whited sepulchre Of herself
than acknowledge to her own soul that
she is anything but milk and roses"

Merry England.

Times and manners change. The
customs Of London, ancient and mod
ern, greatly differ. Says the London
Times, regarding medieval days:
Dancing was a passion with every
body. From the queen to the milk
maid, all the women danced; from the
king to the crftsman, all the young
men danced. They danced in the
streets whenever 1t was possible,
which was one Of the reasons why
May day was so joyous festival.
The more courtly people had dances
dignified and stately, such as the
Danse au Virlet, in which each per-
former sang a verse, and then they
all danced around, singing the same
verse in chorus; the Pas de Brabant,
where every man knelt to his partner;
the Danse au Chaplet, where every
man kissed his partner; they danced
together, singing minstrels' songs,
they danced in the garden, they
danced in the meadow, they went out
at night to dance, with tapers in their
hands; they danced to beautiful music
played by an orchestra. Where is
the dancing spirit now? Where the
mixed kissing? When did Merry Eng.
land die? When did it begin? Was
it ever so?"

Removing Ribbon Creases,

Ribbons will become creased in spite
of the best care, and hot fat iron re.
moves but few of these marks of use.
A better plan is this: Take smooth
quart bottle and fill with boiling hot
water. Then wrap a single paper
smoothly around the bottle, wrap the
ribbon around the paper perfectly
smooth and tight and then wrap an.
other paper around this and pin in
place. Set 1t aside a day and night
and the ribbon will be beautifully
smooth and new to appearance. Soiled
ribbons may be soaked and squeezed
in weak suds and when rinsed and
dried, ironed in this way. It Is a very
satisfactory method.

When Broom Does Damage.

Screens should never be brushed
with the house broom, as 1t has tend
ency to push the wire from the frame
and cause it to bulge in most I'm
slightly manner. A child's toy broom
or, better, a whisk broom, is most use
full for their proper care. The dust
should be brushed from the meshes al
least every two weeks.
Badly rusted screens may be
brushed over with kerosene, applied
with a small varnish brush. If the
frames need staining and vanishing
the wire may be vanished also, OF
painted with any good paint thinned
with oil.

Promise to Harness the Waves.


Who will harness the ocean, Ap
paratus whereby the waves can be
hltched to machinery and made to fur.
nlsh motor power for all human needs
Is promised shortly to be perfected.
The invention consists Of one or more
barges launched upon the shore as to
be always in deep water, where they
will operate uniformly In all weather.
Along the bottom Of each float runs
metal track upon which are two little
cars, one at each end, bearing heavy
weights. The cars are connected by a
rod and as the boat rocks they roll
back and forth along the track, at the
same time operating pair Of pistons
which compress air, and through
tube furnish pneumatic power op.
Grating machinery upon shore. The
pumping mechanism also may be
adapted to suck water from under the
boat and pipe 1t to shore In a steady
stream with sufficient force to OPP
crate q water motor on the beach.
Thus is power had without recourse
to coal.

From Sandals to Shoes.

The first foot coverings were sand
ais. After these came shoes left open
at the toes, then the wooden shoes
of the ninth and tenth centuries. fol.
lowed a little later by shoes with
long pointed and turned-up toes,
which sometimes reached as high as
the knee. Later shoe was worn
with an exceedingly wide toe, so very
wide that it impeded the process OF
walking. Queen Mary restricted the
wearing of this by proclamations. The
proclamation ran to the effect that
shoes should not be worn wider than
six inches.

Ink for Fountain Pen.

Do not use ordinary writing ink In
your fountain pen as 1t will corrode
and render your pen useless unless
cleaned very often. Take an old
typewriter ribbon, turn over 1t a pint
of hot water and let it stand a day or
so, stirring frequently. Turn the ink
thus made into bottle, cork securely,
and you have an ink which will flow
freely, and not corrode your pen. If
the typewriter ribbon had considerable
ink on 1t you can thin your ink by
adding more water after the first pint
is made.

CHARGED WITH TWO MURDERS
Indians Of Skagit Tribe Under Arrest
Accuse Each Other of Commit
ting Crimes.

A brutal double murder committed
by an Indian of the Skagit tribe on
the water boundary line between Sno-
homish and Island couties has just
been unearthed by a squabble among
the red men, and as a result Charley
Jim was landed in a cell in the Sno-
homish county Jail, while Jim Rnoeder
has been put in jail at Coupeville,
pending an untangling of the strange
case, for each Indian accuses the other
with having perpetrated the atrocious
crime.
The crime occurred last May, when
the body Of an Indian was found.
Other tribesmen buried the corpse.
Other Indians soon after exhumed the
body for the purpose of discovering
who the murdered brave was, finding
him to be a Skagit named Jesus.
In the tribal difficulties which arose
over this crime, Charley Jim made
the statement that Jim Rhoeder start
ed In canoe with Jesus and his wife.
and that during an alteration Rhoe-
der had killed both, giving informa-
ton concerning the burial of the wo-
man on Camano island, where the
body was subsequently found. Charley
Jim made this confession in October,
saying he had been restrained from
telling of the crime earlier by Rnoe-
der's threat to kill him.
When Rnoeder was arrested and in
formed Of Jim's confession he imme-
diately turned the tables by accusing
his brother tribesman with having
committed the deed.

integrity

would be to the welfare of the whole
people, do you believe his fortune a
