Confused Identity.

People taken by surprise sometime s
Bay what they do not mean. A car
full of people were entertained re-
Gently by a conversation which Meth
er of the participants found comic. A
train was waiting in dim station at
the end of dull afternoon; lights
were not yet lighted, and it was de-
cidedly dusky within the car.
An excited and near-sighted wom-
an hurried in, hurried down the aisle,
peerlng at the passengers as she
went, and at last, as she dropped into
a seat beside another woman, ex-
claimed with a sigh of relief:
"Oh, it's you!"
Certainly not! snapped a startled
stranger, turning; whereupon the
mistaken traveller hastily apollo
gized
II beg your pardon-but it's so
dark in here I was quite sure you
were"
Another woman, in similar cir
cumstances, became even more con-
fused. She was waiting for her sister
in railway station when a gentle
man, looking for his wife, and misled
by a general resemblance in figure
and clothing, stepped up behind her,
and, laying his arm on her shoulder,
exclaimed:
THANK goodness, Emma, it's youi"
The name he used happened to be
really hers, which made sthe sudden
familiarity even more startling. She
jumped nervously.
You're mistaken, sir! she gasped.

MQrunku in French

The French have some interesting
smiles of their own corresponding to
our drunk as lord" or drunk as a
wheelbarrow." The most generally
recognized one is the case of 'ivre,"
the less extreme and less vulgar word
for drunk" is 'ivre CONNIE une
soupe'-"soupe" meaning the piece of
bread eaten with soup as we'll as the
soup itself, and "bouillion" soaked
piece of bread offering a natural 81
mile for saturation. When the less
delicate "soupe" is used instead Of
"ivre" the Frenchman may speak Of
being as drunk as an ass, a cav, a
Swiss or thrush. The allusion in
the last case is to the fondness OF
thrushes for grapes, which are said
at vintage time to make them IN
steady in their fight-London Chron.

The ModernIty Of Trousers.

1t will assuredly seem more than
strange that within the last hundred
years the wearing of trousers has
been regarded even as irreligious. The
fact that in October, 1912, an order
was made by st. Johns and Trinity
Colleges that every young man who
appeared in hall or chapel in panta-
looms or trousers should be considered
as absent is startling enough: but it
would appear that eight years later
the founders OF Bethel chapel at Shelf
field inserted a clause in the trust
deed ordaining the under no circum-
stances whatever shall any preacher
be allowed to occupy the pulpit who
wears trousers" This is striking. but
1t is even more impressive to find that
the Rev. Hugh Bourne, one of the
two founders Of the Primitive Metho-
dist Connection, said OF his co-found-
er, That trousers wearing, beer-drink-
ing Cloves will never go to heaven. /"
And it would need a student of "the
Breeches Bible TO say precisely when
this assumed connection between
theology and trousers began and
where the departure from it will end

Sea Of ORANGES,

A sea covered with oranges is one
Of the unusual attractions near this
city. at the mouth of the Santa Clara
River. Thousands upon thousands 81
oranges floating on the oceans sur
face, many of them strewing the
beach, give an indescribably beautiful
golden hue to the sea.
There was wonder for some time
as to how the oranges got into the
sea. The belief was general that
they came from washed out orchards
In the east end OF the county, owing
to the high storm waters In the riv-
or. This Is not the case, however.
The oranges were deliberately thrown
into the Sespe Creek from the Sespe
River twenty-fve miles back from
the coast. From the Sespe they found
their way back into the Santa Clara
River and thence into the sea.
The oranges are from the great
packing houses In the Sespe country.
They are known as culls, but most OF
them are good. or were when dumped
of the bridge. It is claimed that
only the best oranges can be shipped
and sold.-ventura correspondence

ARTIFICIAL SILK.
a. Strong, Lustrous Fibre Derived
From Wood Pulp.


Two different products are now
sold as substitutes for silk. One is
mercerized" cotton, which has a fine
gloss. The other is pure wood, treat
ed with chemicals so that 1t can be
spun. The second article is an in
vention. of Frenchman named Char
donnier, and is now being made in
several European countries. Cloth
and ribbons made OF it have the
lustre OF silk, but they lack the
strength and elasticity Of the material
OF which they are an imitation, and
are highly inf1ammable An official
report from England, where it is said
that $3.50, 1000 was paid for the privi-
lege of working under the original
patents, supplies these details Of the
methods of manufacture:
Wood pulp, like that employed in
the production of paper, is imported
from Norway. 1t comes in dry sheets,
four feet square. Having been re-
duced to thin paste called "viscose'
by certain chemicals, it is forced
through series of microscopic holes,
four one-thousandths of an inch in
diameter, punched through thin
platinum plate. A setting" bath
(acid) then hardens the filaments so
that they can be twisted together to
form a workable thread. Uusually
either sixteen or thirty-two of these
filaments go to form what may be
termed the single" yarn. The spin
ming spindle, which is weighty af-
fair of some ninety ounces, is gear
driven at 5000 revolutions a minute,
and carries cup" into which the
yarn is collected in the form of
small cheese"
There will shortly be introduced
an improved spindle weighing but
thirty ounces, which it is expected can
be successfully driven at the rate of
5000 revolutions a minute. A later
arrangement for feeding the wis
cose" through the microscopic holes
enables varying pressure to be ex-
erted on the liquid, and by this con-
trivance different counts of yarn can
be made than could be conveniently
produced by the older arrangement
of increasing or decreasing the num-
Der of component filaments in the
finished thread.
Aside from the apparatus for treat
Ing the pulp prior to spinning, the
spinning machines are in themselves
costly. the present price per spindle
being SIS, the average production
per spindle being 100 metres min
ute of thread having two and a half
turns of twist to the inch. So far as
British experience is concerned, the
development of the work has been
most expensive. Starting with the
accumulated knowledge of the Con-
tinental producers has not prevented
comparatively enormous sums being
expended in simplifying complicated,
though somewhat crude, mechanism
and simplifying chemical processes
and standardiZing the quantities and
qualities of the ingredients en-
ployed.
The single yarn, bleached and
dyed. is put up in three, qualities, A,
B and G, and is sold in the hank at
$1.20, $1.32 and $1.44 pound, the
cost to the manufacturer of the arti-
fetal yarn averaging seventy-five
cents pound. One-third goes for
raw material and chemicals, one
third for labor, supplies and power,
and one-third covers interest, depre-
citation, selling and other general ex-
nenses.

sMan With Twisted LIP" IN Real

A curious parallel in real life 70 the
Sherlock Holmes episode OF THE
Man With the Twisted Lip" which
attracted much attention couple OF
years ago, was recalled at Penge pet
ty sessions when Cecil Browne de
Smith was summoned by his wife on
the ground that he had deserted her
and neglected to pay for her main
tenance. In 1904, said Mrs. de Smiths
solicitor, the defendant lived in Nor
wood with his wife and child and
went Ito the city, daily. 1t was
eventually discovered by the police
that on arrival at London bridge he
would change his good clothes for
rags, and, pretending ito be paralyzed,
obtain considerable sums from the
charitable under cover of selling
matches. He was arrested and SEN
fenced to three months hard labor

sLEEP THE BEST PHYslc.
Most Victims Of Nervous Breakdown
Need Only Rest.

Most Victims Of Nervous Breakdown
Need Only Rest.
One OF the features Of modern
times is the prevalence OF what we
term neurasthenia, or nervous break
down. These names apply to q con-
dition Of physical and mental i'll
health which is the direct result Of
the age in which we live and the
pace at which we are living. Mas
sage and electricity and novel treat
ments" and cures" are called upon
to repair what we have brought upon
ourselves by our up-to-date ways Of
life, by worry and excitement.
There are hundreds of women Of
the upper and middle classes Just
now bewailing their nerves" and cry
Ing out that headaches and insomnia
and depression are spelling their
lives. This Is neurotic age, and
half the world of men and women not
only burn the candle at both ends,
but in the middle as well. The siren
uous life is almost necessity to
the man or woman who is ambitious
socially, politically or commercially.
We are so anxious to "get on" we at
tempt to do far more than we are
constitutionally fit for, and nervous
breakdown is the inevitable result.
Lack of repose is a prime factor
In the causation of nerves." the con-
slant rush in the social and business
world, the frantic pursuit of pleasure
and amusements are frequent pre-
cursors of nervous ill-health. We
recklessly expend our energy on
trifes; we are constantly up and do
ing; we have no time to rest and
nobody listens to the advocates and
disciples Of the simpler life.
Home life, quiet domesticity are
becoming rarer every year. Simple
pleasures, 'shomely joys" and the
family circle" are ridiculously old
fashioned terms. Is It any wonder
that nervous breakdown and prema-
ture decay are on the increase?
The remedy lies mainly with us
wOmen-our influence can do great
deal, our example more, to counterfeit
the restlessness and excitement char
acteristic of this age.
We must preach the gospel Of rest.
Hard work nowadays means severe
nervous strain, and the constant ap-
plication to business and professional
affairs demands regular periods of
quiet and complete rest, if the work
ers are to retain their health. It is
the more important that the home
atmosphere be such as will restore
the balance and lessen the tension Of
the inevitable nerve strain outside.
Unquietness in the home, the
tyranny of social engagements and
worldly duties following upon
strenuous working day, gives no op-
portunity for repose. The power to
be quiet, the virtue of repose, is
worth cultivating in this age Of neu-
rotic women; the woman who is con-
stantly on the move, striving after
something just out OF her reach, diff
fuses an atmosphere Of disquiet and
vulgar unrest around her. To be
busy does not necessarily mean to
achieve; busting activity is too Of
ten barren OF real progress.-Londop
