Shrinking Flannel.

All good flannel Is shrunk before be-

ess is carried on by the most expert
enced cloth workers. The f1annels are
placed between two heavy wet sheets

ty-four to thirty-six hours. When re-
moved they are spread out on specially
prepared rails in a drying room heated
by steam pipes, where they are allow
ed to remain until thoroughly dry. The
next process Is to place the lengths OF
the flannel In folds between layers OF

pressure they are subjected to the more
valuable and heavy the f1annels be

A strange genealogical history is
that possessed by the word "canteen"
which has caused so much talk in
temperance and army circles-if its orr
gin is correctly assigned to the old
Latin "quintana," which literally means
"of the fifth rank" or "flfth In order"
The "quintana (yia)" was street In
the Roman camp so called because it
came between the fifth maniple, OF
company, and the sixth. Here all the
business and marketing Of the camp
were done, and "quintana" eventually
came to mean q market = Chicago

Luminous Centfpeds.

Lizard, snake and natural electric
light plant all rolled into one-this is
the luminous centipcd. one of the most
interesting creatures In nature. 1t Is
about one and quarter inches long
and covered with short hairs. Its body
is very narrow and appears to be in
sections. In consequence of this pecul
lar formation the creature appears to
move sidewise except when frightened.
Then the natural electric light plant
feature appears, and, with an almost
instantaneous wavelike motion, begin
ming at the tail, the color Of the reptile
changes from orange to a greenish
phosphopescent shade. Then, sparkling
with a tiny streak Of green light, the
creature darts away to a place of ref.
uge. When one Of the pair Is In search
Of It's mate, the color grows bright
yellow, but at will the centiped can re-
sumo its darker color. and then, IL ~
ing close to the grain of piece Of
wood, is hardly noticeable.

PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE,
Mimicry of Color and Form Common
Among Insects.


An official of the National museum
at Washington who has made many
trips abroad In the interest of that In
stitutiop states that in South Ameri,
can forests the butterflies and the birds
are equally brilliant in their colors, but
that the butterflies, being weaker, fall
q prey to the birds. One very bright
hued species Of butterfly however, Is
not disturbed by the birds on account
Of the disagreeable odor that it emits.
Singularly enough, some other groups
Of butterflies, which resemble in color
the species just described, also escape
persecution by the birds, although they
emit no odor. 1t is evident that the
similarity Of color deceives the birds.
and thus serves as a shield for the but
terfies. This sort Of mimicry Of color
and form, which naturalists call PRO
tective resemblance" Is not very I'M
common among insects.
Another form of protective resem-
blance' which exhibits much contriv-
ance and skill Is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds hide their
eggs among stones that resemble the
eggs in form and color. The little bot
tie tit In England weaves a bottle
! shaped nest out Of moss, lichens and
spiders webs, and when placed in a
tree or bush the nest so closely resem-
bles its surroundings that it can hardly
be detected. The color and appearance
of the nest are limitations Of the pre-
vailing color and appearance of the
particular tree in which it is placed.

POWER OF PERFUMES.


NerFes ana Brain.
Nearly all perfumes have antiseptic
qualities and are valuable In keeping
away infection.
The perfumes which are the most
agreeable to the sense are not always
the most helpful to the nerves. Am
bergris, for instance, is positively Of
1ensiye to many, yet 1t Is said to pos
sess a wonderful power Of clearing the
brain and driving away the blues. On
the other hand, altar Of roses, with the
suggestion Of glowing suns and COR
geous eastern colors, predisposes to
tears. w ~.
A faint odor Of musk acts as q tonic,
Tor which the best antidote is the odor
OF sandalwood. The fragrance of cit
ron Is as soothing to nervous folk as
the sound Of faroff music.
The scent Of orange flowers is so de-
pressing to the action of the heart that
1t is not safe for any one with disease
OF that organ to Inhale 1t for any
length Of time. Reviving perfumes
come from herbaceous plants largely,
from the odors of mignonette. rose
mary and lavender, and soothe the
nerves.
The perfumes Of lilies, jasmine and
acacia are pleasant and soothing to a
Reality sense, though delicate nerves
cannot enjoy them even In their garden
freshness. Brought closer in clusters
OF blossom, their odor Is narcotic and
depressing, so that persons grow faint
at the smell Of them and may be put
Into heavy slumber, as If drugged by
their odor.-London Express.

SIMPLE MEDICINES.
Remedies That May De Found In Ma
lures Drug Stores.

lures Drug Stores.
If chemists and druggists disappear
ed from the face Of the earth humanity
could still worry along with the simple
remedies which nature yields, prac-
tically ready made. There is nothing
to beat rhubarb juice as cure for
govt or rheumatism except water from
medicinal springs. All kinds of scurvy
and blood poisoning yield to the juice
Of lemons or of lines, which are the
greatest blood purifiers in existence.
Even doctors acknowledge that nat
ural, fresh cream from cows milk can
give points to cod liver oil and similar
nasty liquids in treating consumption
Common mustard used as plaster or
poultice is the best cure for a cold on
the chest, and the white Of an egg with
sugar is the finest medicine for hoarse-
ness. To cure burn an application of
the white skin that lines the shell of
an egg Is unbeatable, while the raw
yolk is a capital tonic. In fact, gar
dens and roadsldes are full Of herbs of
which the juice or leaves afford rene
dies or palllatives for almost every dis
ease to which humanity is heir.-New

DESTINY OF THE JEW.


To Give the World = Homogeneous
Humanity, Says Walter Hurt.
Zionism, as 1t presents itself to me,
is beautiful but barren dream. II
Is the noble conception Of a splendid
sentimentalist, born from the grand
brain and nursed in the great heart
OF Theodore Herzl and well calculated
to inspire the Imagination of people
that have cherished through the cen
turtles Its lmperishable ideals. 1t Is the
flower Of 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
preparatory experience. The strong
est bond Of brotherhood in the world
today is that Of Jewish blood. 1t is
the red badge of q freemasonry found
ed on a community Of suffering, and
Its ritual Is written large upon each
heart In letters of pain. And this 1t is
that at last Will weld the world to-
gether. With the infusion Of Jewish
blood into the universal social body-s
blood become so distinctive that II
will tincture the whole vast volume
men will meet from the ends Of the
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 homogeneous hui
manity.-Walter Hurt In Culturist.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 10. 1907.

IT COSTS the government in the neigh
borhood of Sc, 200, 900 annually for the
leisure of its employees. Not many en-
oloyers treat their employees 30 generous
ly. In fac, not many could afford to do
so. There are on the government pay
rolls about ffiy-fve thousand employees.
and their annual salaries approximate
about 500, 900, 900. Most of these en-
ployes are entitled TO thirty days vaca-
ton Annually. They are also allowed to
take thirty days sick leave annually on
full pay. 1t is estimated that 70 per
cent. of the employees take their vaca-
tions regularly, and many take their full
Thirty days sick leave. A treasury OH
cial with whom statistics are a hobby
has made q careful computation, aud
saws that more than SC, 900, 900 of good
government funds go Tor "loa6ng spells"
of employees. As he figures it, the gov
eminent work could be done with one
twelfth less the present number of en-
ployes easily. Or, taken in another
form, the present force can do all the
government work in eleven months,
probably in ten, for which they now re-
ceive twelve months psy. He also sug-
gests that if the government work was
done by contract it could be done for
three-i ourtbs the present cost.

THE JAPANESE QUESTION, as has been
stated several times recently, is not re-
garded seriously by the officials OF the
United States nor by those in Toxic
A contemporary makes the following
sensible observations
Japan is the ally of England. Beyond
a certain point the Toxic government
cannot 90 without English consent.
This will never be given. Japan itself
needs to recruit after the Russian war
It's fnsncts, as they stand, have called
for the heaviest taxes and the largest ex
penditure Japan has ever had. A new
loan is needed. The Japanese trade
situation is strained. Its expansion in
new companies, new enterprises, in
the development of Korea and Man
churia and in the awakening OF
China, absorb all resources. Any
strain at this juDcture would mean
disaster. The inevitable conflict with
Russia looms before. China must be
protected. Japan cannot turn aside TO
any lesser Issue. Newspapers may talk
folly in both lands, but neither patton
will act. Instead, both are under bonds
to keep the peace. All our ends in the
East will be hindered by even the ap.
pearsnce of a difference with Japan.
The United States needs Japan in East
Asia. Japan needs the United States.
1t is awkward that foolish mob in a
graft-ridden city has brought any differ
ences; but these will never lead to more
than diplomatic discussion.
