CUEEN'S r LATEST,

Queens gray is the name OF a new
gray seen a great deal in the new
foulards. 1t is a very modest shade,
frequently made less sc by the addi-
ton of polks dots or cross bars upon
the surface. The plain fabrics are
usually trimmed with gray Persian
braid in which is a trace of steel
blue, yellow and pink. 1t is a serv-
iceable fabric, doing duty for a long
time without showing hard usage
like most colored silks.

FOR TIES AND PINS.

A piece of mailing tube nine inches
long is padded with silk and cotton to
form a roll on which to hang small ties.
Both ends of the tube are filled with
small puffed pin cushions outlined with
lace ruffies. The roll is tied with rib
bons and makes a pretty gift for a girl.
The one described was of canary col
ored silk, white lace and ribbons to
match the cover.

Mark Twain obeyed the Scripture

From Lippincotts
In the Iowa town where Mark Twain
used to reside the following story of him
is occasionally handed about:
one morning when he was busily at
work an acquaintance dropped in upon
him. with the request that he take a
walk, the acquaintance having an errand
on a pleasant country road.
How far is itT" temporized Mark
Twain.
"Oh, about a mile" replied the friend.
Instantly the humorist gathered his pa
pers together, laid them aside and pre-
pared to cave his desk.
''Of course / will CO." he announced;
''bible says / must"
why, what in the world has the bible
got TO do with it?' asked the puzzled
friend.
1T distinctly commands" answered Mr..
Clemens, IL a man ask thee to go with
him a mile, go with him, Twain'!'

and devotion Is her last.

SECRET WRITING.
How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Prvin1 Ewes.

How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Pryin5 Eyes.
Even with the most rnromantic Of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran-
dunn or write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
SO. Here is simple method:
Soak a sheet of note paper in cold
water and lay it perfectly fat upon
pane of glass. Place above it another
sheet, dry this time, and on the upper
sheet write your message with fairly
hard pencil. You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece. Don't
hold it to the fire, but let it dry nat
urally. If you then examine it close
ly you will see not the faintest trace OF
writing, but If you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote. 1t will show up like the water
mark on a postage stamp. This meth
cd, by the way, is sometimes adopted
by convicts. They use their Cruel
cans instead of glass and a sharp piece
of wood for a pencil.
Another way Is less dirty and even
more effective Lay several sheets OF
paper on fat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet, on which no impression appears.
If you hold this in the vapor of iodine,
however, the writing will turn brown
and be quite legible. The explanation
is plain. The note paper contains
starch, which on being pressed turns
to hydramide. substance which is
acted on by iodine In the manner de-
scribed.-Answers

SOUL HOUSES.
One of the Queer Customs of the An.
cient Edvntiana

One of the Queer Customs of the An
cient Egyptians.
Egyptian soul houses were curious
edifices made probably between the
tenth and twelfth dynasties-that is,
about 1900 and $500 B. G. The same
principle that caused the warriors
steed to be slain on his grave seems to
have actuated the early Egyptians
when they built house for the dead
mans soul.
The beginning of the custom was
that mat was laid on the grave. with
pan of food upon it. Afterward this
offering was carved in stone as a ia
BILE of offerings to give permanent sat
isfaction for the soul Then to the ia
bic was added a shelter copied from an
Arab tent. and this gradually was
elaborated. The shelter was placed on
columns, hut was put into this por
tico, chambers We're copied, and finally
appeared complete two story houses
furnished with pottery models Of
couch. chair, stool, fireplace and the
| figure of woman making bread
| The soul was conceived of as ascend.
! ing from the grave through the ground
and requiring Shelter while feeding on
its everlasting provision, and yet
though it assembled through the. earth
it needed staircase to go up to the
upper floor. and the soul had donkey

THE FRlGATE PELICAN.
Il Is a Small Bird With an Enormou
C+ra%oto rs W.nr

II Is Small Bird With an Enormous
Stretch of Wing.
The frigate pelican, or man-of-w war
bird, is usually found between the
tropics. Although when stripped of its
feathers it is hardly larger than a
pigeon, yet no man can touch at the
same time the tips of its extended
wings The long wing bones are ex-
ceedingly light, and the whole APP
paratus of air cells is extremely de-
veloped, SO that its real weight is very
trifing 1t flies at a great height
above the water and from that eleva-
ton pounces down on fish, especially
preferring the poor, prosecuted flying
fish for its prey.
Under the throat of the frigate peli-
can is large pouch Of a deep red
color. which can be distended with air
at the pleasure of the bird. The pouch
is larger and of a more brilliant red In
the male than in his consort, and the
general plumage of the female is not SO
bright as that of the male
Although its swiftness of wing and
general activity enable it to snatch a
fish from the surface of the water or
to pounce upon the flying fish before II
can again seek the protection Of its
native element, yet it too often uses
its powers in robbing other birds Of
their lawful prey. 1t is enabled in
some mysterious way to find its way
home by night, even though 1t may be
400 or 500 miles from land. The length
Of the male bird is three feet and the
expanse of wing eight feet.

such cultivation as we saw in the

raced the mountains in some instances
a thousand feet high, and every bit of
the land is under cultivation.
81 do not believe there is anything in
the world that can equal the manner
in which the people Of the mountains
have made their country productive.
1t certainly surpasses anything have
ever seen. The terraces in Japan are
pygmies compared with it. The earth
and stone We're brought for miles, and
the most wonderful part about it is
that the terraces are as solid and sub
stantial as If they were part of the
mountain itself
"Some of them are seventy or hum
dred feet high and remain undisturbed
through all sorts of weather and land
slides. And at the time these terraces
were made the people were under
arms, working with their knives and
shields close at hand and with sentries
on every high point of land and noun

Some Novel Races.

A London newspaper some years ago
contained an account of a strange sort
of contest which two noblemen got up
for their own amusement. 1t consist
ed of matching flock of turkeys
against a flock Of geese for q race IN
the London and Norwich road in he
middle of the last century. The tur-
keys would insist upon flying up into
the roadside trees to roost, while the
geese, keeping up steady waddle all
night, reached London from Norwich
two days ahead. The same journal
also mentions the feats of the Hon.
Tom Coventry's sprinting pig. In 1903
this speedy animal was matched
against celebrated runner and start
ed strong favorite on the lay Of the
race, which she won with ease. The
pig had been trained to run the dis
lance each day for its dinner. Anoth.
er odd contest about this time took
place between two sporting noblemen,
who raced against each other on a
windy day or Hampstead Heath, one
running backward in jack boots and
the other holding up an open umbrella
and running forward.

But when you are fatigued the stimu-
lus spreads into other nerves as well
and is not distinctly transmitted.
Sir Francis Cation, the great stats
tician, says that the best test he knows
Is that of restlessness, shown in mus
cular movements. Many times, he
says, he has sat in a. position where
he could watch an audience as it lis
tened to some long scientific memoir
He took notes Of how people acted
under the strain of protracted atten-
tion-how often they moved. At the
beginning Of the hour they would sit
quietly; then they would begin to
four seconds, then every three seconds,
and he says that it is possible to trace
right through any audience every de-
gree of fatigue by the number of mus
cular movements made.
He has simply put together mathe-
matically some data that are familiar
to all Of us. We have all seen-and,
alas, been part of-an audience that
was trying to endure the last half
hour Of an uncomfortable speech. Ev-
erybody was shifting his position,
crossing one leg over the other or back
again, moving the fingers, playing with
watch charm or chain, yawning,
twitching, folding programme, wiping
eyeglasses, adjusting back hair, twist
Ing mustache. Those were all fatigue
signs
A loss Of self control in small things
that's the symptom in different terms,
and another name for it is irritability
AT first 1t seems strange that this
undue sensitiveness to slight stimuli
should be so sure an effect of fatigue;
but it means that the resistance gates
are down and we become aware of
sensations pouring in from all sides,
slight sensations that ordinarily we
take no notice of because-by the laws
Of attention-they are quietly shut out
from our consciousness. But when our
attention is tired-no longer focused,
but scattering these slight nerve
prfcks attack us insistently and we
cannot neglect them.
A noise that You will not hear when
you are rested will be perfectly dis
tracing when you are tired. You will
go over and shut window; you will
walk around aimlessly; you will swear
at the faint crackle of distant graphic
phone. If there is light above you
at an evening lecture it will hurtyour
eyes almost beyond endurance. In
stead of making the nervous system a
less responsive instrument, fatigue
makes It more responsive-more re-
sponsive, but less seryiceabIe.
Every man who is anxious to hit his
Job between the eyes should make a
study of his own fatigue curve. and
he should put the moral of it to heart.
To know when it's time to quit-aEd
to quit when it's time-is one Of the
